• 0:20
  Speaker 1: did you do that? I don't know. I'm not going
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to give any of my names. We're only allowed to
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: have too and you just use both of them on yourself. Sorry,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I'm whomever you want me to be. You. I'm more
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: of an idea. You're just a floating orb of essence.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: That would be really nice. It sounds very low made.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you would never have to shower. Oh here,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: here's what I'll do. My name's Jamie Bethany Loftist. Whoa

  Speaker 1: boom boom, Jamie Bethany loped us. Should everyone be a
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: my middle name? Yeah? I guess to get us back
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: on the even playing field. Thank you. My name is
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Caitlin Marie Durante. I know, but thank you, You're welcome.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I feel like Marie is like a go to middle name.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: My parents are not Marie, and it's just really a
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: little connector piece. Yeah. Lynn some one time, Yeah, someone
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: thought my middle name was Lynn, and I was like,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: you think my name is Caitlin Lynn Durante. There was
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a brief period of time when I was very young
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: where I wanted to go by Jamie Beth because of
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Lorie Beth Denverg who was on All That and she
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: was my favorite cast member, and I'm like, I want
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: to be Jamie Beth Leaptus so I can be a
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: little bit closer to Laurie Beth Denverg, but didn't stick.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Bethany's also a miscarriage of my mom's. She my brother
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and I both have miscarriage middle names. Oh I remember this.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I know this bit. You have a bit about it
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you're doing for stand up. Yeah, it's a little fictional,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: like the bit, but the middle name thing is it
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: is true. She's like, well, if it doesn't work first
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: time around, kicking in the middle of the next one.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: So they're never comfortable with their middle name. Ever, I
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: was contemplating whether or not to reveal something about my mother,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: which I do stand up material on this as well,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: so I don't think it would be a big deal,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: although she did ask me to never tell anyone. Wait
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: a second. Well then I was like, Mom, I wrote
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a really funny stand up bit about it. Can I
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: tell everyone the thing you told me not to tell anybody?
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: And she's like, okay, so let me preface is this
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: thing that my mom is a great lady and I
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: love her a lot. Shout out to Laurie. My mom
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: had two abortions before I was born. This bad. I didn't,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: not not bad, but yeah, I you know, it's a
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: personal thing, and you know it was her body, her choice,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: And there are people out there who would think that
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: she's terrible for having done this, but she's not. She's
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: even better because if she hadn't had those abortions, I
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have been born, her life would have came out
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: very differently, and I wouldn't be here. So I tried
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: that same approach with my mom once. I'm like, well,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: maybe if you hadn't had those two because both the
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: miscarriages were I mean obviously before my brother, and I
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I was like, well, maybe you wouldn't have had us,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and she was like, no, I wanted four kids. I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: was like, well fuck, sorry, sorry it didn't work out.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: But we wouldn't have the fun origin story of my
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: mom getting those experimental womb steroids, which is why I'm
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you were born twice. That's why I was born two times.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Why I was a fat, fat, fat fat baby where
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: she could have no babies and then she could only
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: have huge babies. It was like a magic spell. She
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be magic magic. That was an intentional segment. But
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: before we go into that, we shouldn't introduce our guests. Yes,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: she's a very funny comedian. You've seen her on Conan.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Maggie May thanks a bunch for being here. Of course,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: so you've brought us a movie. That movie is called
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Kaitlyn is so excited
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: this episode and you're so not. I'm I'll be okay, Yeah,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I'm strong. We watched it together. We did. We had fun.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I like this movie. Cool. I just don't like Carrot
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: part I see, Um, that's a different podcast, different podcasts.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: We don't need to go into it. Oh I'm sure
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: we will, so tell us about your history, was like,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: why did you pick this movie? Well, I'm a big
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: fan of Harry Potter because I'm a big fan of magic. Um,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I actually do stand up material on this as well. Um,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I am magical. You can't tell me i'm not. So
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, y'all don't know my life, you don't know
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: how I do stuff. So, um, you don't even know
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: my middle name. So I'm magic and y'all can't tell me.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: But I'm not Maggie magic May. Is that your name?
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: There's it's actually my middle name is actually Maggie. It's
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Magic Maggie May. That way smooth, got it? But yeah,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I love magic. I love fantasy. I loved the Harry
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Potter franchise. It was so good and smart and well
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: thought out. Um. I read the books first, the last book.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I actually went to the There was like a release
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: party and you can get your book at midnight like
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Barnes and Noble. Yeah, so I showed him to that,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: got my book, put headphones on, ran to the car,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: drove home and then read it. Didn't check my email,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: didn't turn on the TV, and none of that until
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I was done. Because the one before someone had ruined
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: it before I finished three. That's a big ruin for
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the sixth book. Yeah, And they showed like dudes driving
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: by like lines outside of bookstores just yelling out what
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: happened and people just being like, domestic terrorism. Really, that's
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: exactly what that What are they Slytherins? Right, Oh gosh,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: that's not gonna happened to me. So I think that
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that's so that that is really cool that there was
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: like a series, because there was like no other series.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: And I think our lifetimes where I mean so many
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: people have that exact experience of like getting the book
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: at midnight, then going and not communicating with anyone until
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: they read the whole thing. Like, that's really cool that
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: that happened as recently as what like ten or a
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: little more than ten years ago. That's crazy. I'm a
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: big Harry Potter fan. Although so I've seen this movie
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: maybe fifty times or more. It's insane. I got it
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: on DVD and my sister and I watched it every
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: day for an entire summer, sometimes twice a day, similar
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: to what I did with the Titanic double vhs. Right,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: that I can that experience, I can connect with the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Harry Potter when I can't. I mean, I just I
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: loved the books so much. I had read the first
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: four I think at that point, and I was just like,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: oh my god, I love Harry Potter. This movie is
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: not that great. It's a little camp be I still
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: love it. You know, I've seen enough times to be
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: able to quote every single line of dialogue is embarrassing.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: And then I started rereading the book in preparation for
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: this episode because I wanted to see if there's like,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: are women portrayed any differently in the book? And I
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, wow, the Pros and this is like
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: for a much lower reading level than I remember. It's like,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: this is for sixth graders. I for some reason thought
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: like the Pros was just more mature or something. I
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: don't know, Harry Potter. I think from the book perspective.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: We're talking about this yesterday too. I feel like there's
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: something too. When you get a kid a book that
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: is like looks long and like big, they're like, whoa,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: this is so cool. I am smart because when you're like,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: you know, it's like quantity not quality when you're kids.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: And but the margins on Harry Potter is bananas, like
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: five words to a page. It's the same thing with
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the lemon stick at books, and those were the ones
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: that I was like towned around, like look at me,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: this is twoes long. But that translates to like it
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: takes a couple of hours to read because there's like
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: four one inch margins and then on every side it's crazy.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: The font is like size sixteen, Like Harry Potter has
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: a ridiculous font. Yeah, I will say there's a little
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: there's some curves to that. I was like, oh this
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: is is this a fantasy book? Is this what we're reading?
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: The looks real magical? Yeah, it does it. It's a
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: very but like Microsoft word magic, like how would Clippy
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: envision magic? Because we're gonna talk about Clippy a little.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Oh man, he just wanted to help, that's all I wanted.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: He's like, are you writing a letter? But there's like
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a military drama about Clippy somewhere, like he was just
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: trying to help and why it is out he was
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: a casualty of war, ignored by his peers. All right,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: well this is my spare time. I'll do the recap. Please,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: here we go Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: about a young boy, Harry Potter. He's the boy who lived.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: He gets dumped off on a doorstep because his mom
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and dad get murdered by Voldemort. Ak you know who
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: a k he who must not be named, grow up,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: everyone just say his fucking name. So he has to
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: live with these muggle family members of his, these non
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: magical people. And then when he's eleven, he gets a
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: letter and he's like, whoa, I'm accepted to Hogwarts. Holy crap,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I'm a I a wizard and Hagrid, his friend comes along.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: His new friend is like, you are a wizard, Harry.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: So he leaves this muggle world. He's abducted by a
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: huge man on a motorcycle. On a motorcycle. I'm just like,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: this is not the president. We need to be setting
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: very weird early Bush era kind of politics to be like,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: don't get on the gigantic stranger's motorcycle because he tells
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: you you have magical powers. Set deeply troubling anyways, but
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: that is what happens. All I wanted to do, but
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I was nine. I shouldn't have wanted there. And you know,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: he takes your shopping. He's like, you have the owl
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: he's get there's that scene he pointed out yesterday where
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: he's sitting on his own stoop, playing the lute and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: like luring children into his cabin. Then and he's like,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: oh high, like you're just not only he's just a
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: classic Herbert move, luring him in with music. He's not
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: even he's not playing just any song. He's playing the
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: score to Harry Potter. He's playing. He's like, do I
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: notice that that's some pied pipe or kind of nonsense
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: right there? Exactly. Yeah, a loot is trying to take
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: your children away from you. I think it's a safe
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: bet to just say, don't trust anyone with a loot.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Loot owners, you're unnoticed. Lot owners are louds. Oh see. Easy.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Loots are louds, easy to remember, especially if they're playing
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: John Williams scores. And you know, I don't don't don't
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: trust them bad. That means they're not even cultured. That's
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: the that's step one. Basic ass loot players. Someone's playing
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the Star Wars theme on their loot, don't approach to
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: their home. Oh god. There's a lot of scenes with
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: children alone with Hagrid that now very much bother me,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Like there should be. Super takes them into the dark
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: forest and he's like, this is detention. We got to
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: find this dead unicorn because there's an evil thing out
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: there killing it. It's like, that's that's not safe. You've
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: been for the wizard World. But anyway, I'm jumping out
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: of myself. So he got all worked up about Hagrid
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: and how he's a perfect Harry Potter discovered that he's
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: a magical person, and he gets accepted to Hogwarts School
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: of Witchcraft and Wizardry. So he like preps to go
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to school. He does all the school shopping and then
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: he goes and he meets his friend Ron Weasley, mediocre
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: as hell. Fun guy, give him a chance, I say,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: fun guy, give him a chance. And then he meets
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: his other friend, Hermione Granger, who she's great. I like
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: her a lot, but they only become friends with her
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: because they feel bad for incessantly bullying her for the
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: first part of the school year. To be fair, she
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: is mean, she a bit, she is mean to them.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I think this is a later discussion that I want
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: to have. We'll get there. And then you know, there's
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: the headmaster Dumbledore. He's the best Wizard of All Time
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: or whatever. Good Dumbledore, not like he's scary. He's scary,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: he's too harsh. I want to help him, and I'm
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: not sad when he spoiler alert passes away natural causes. Yeah,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: very slowly. It's a period of years. He is like,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: at he's so old. We never know how old he is? Great,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: should we really be morning? He could be eight hundred
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: years old and dying of servy when he was friends
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: with Nicholas Famel who had the Lixor of Light. Yeah, um,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: which is what this movie is about. So there's this
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: secret item that Haggard takes out of a vault at
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: grin Gots the Wizard Bank, and Harry's like, what is
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: this item? We don't know what's happening. And then they
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: discovered this three headed dog inside Hogwarts the castle and
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: they're like, what's this guarding? Is the dog guarding the
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: thing that was taken out of the vault And then
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: they figure out that it must be this sorcer stone,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: which is this thing that can turn any metal into
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: gold and it produces the elixir of life, which makes
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: your immortal. And they deduce that one of the bad professors,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Snape or someone who they think is bad once the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: elixir of life to give to Baltimore because he maybe
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: died whenever you tried to kill Harry Potter also left
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: that part out. Whoops, Yeah, he killed Harry Potter, tried
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: to didn't succeed. He's got a lightning speak because Harry
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Potter's mom got the same weird experimental operation my mom
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: got in North Carolina, and that's why her baby is
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: huge and can't die. Exactly. That is part of Harry
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Potter canon. We had the same experimental birth doctor started
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: off in North Carolina exactly. Harry Potter's roots actually lie
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: in North Carolina. Okay, so they're like Snape is bad
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and he's friends with Baltimore, and Baltimore must be trying
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: to come back because you know, we think he might
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: have died, but maybe he also didn't and he maybe
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: is trying to resurface. They have their whole school year.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Harry Potter's great at quidditch. What isn't he great at?
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: He's truly great at everything, and when he whenever he
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: does something wrong, everyone's like, actually that's good because either
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: like the Catches, you're wealthy, or like the Catches, we
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: know you broke the rules, but now you're the captain
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: of the sports team. Like that happens over and over
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: and over where he's just and I get it from
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the perspective of like kids are going to be like
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: I want to be like this, I want to break
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the rules and then get you know. And he had
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: a tough past, but I'm also just like, there's so
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: few things that Harry Potter actually has to he doesn't
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: really get in trouble ever. Yeah, exactly, like exactly, even
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: in the magic world, there's still white male, privileged, straight
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: white male. Harry Potter just takes it. He's just like, oh,
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I broke the rules. I guess I'm the captain. Now.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: They're just like funck off because that's, you know, probably
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: how your whole life's going to go. Yeah, don't even
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: need to learn the lesson. That doesn't matter. You're good. Yeah,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Like he said, he's wealthy. I want him to share
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: his wealth. He's got a poor as friend Ron. All
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: the Weasleys are poor. Share your wealth, Harry, And they
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: get him presents. Yeah, Mrs Weasley knits him a sweater
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: and it's like, no, you give her something. And then
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: there's this whole thing at the end with her like,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: oh my god, we gotta stop Snape from stealing the
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Sorcerer's Stone so that he doesn't give it to Baltimore.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: But surprise, it's not Snape. It's Professor Quarrel, who's a
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: little UCB three oh one graduate. His acting is that
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: of a USB three o ue graduate who's very proud
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: of himself. He's like, it's like, you're great, job, Like
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: would you like some you know, yes? And then everything
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I think Professor Quirrel is hilarious because all of his
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: line reads are like I don't know who's act in
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: the dungeon, right, and then I thought, you want to know?
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: And then he like passes out. I'm just like I
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: have been sidelined and this exact horrible improv scene that
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: you're doing right now, and and and just it was
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: an interesting thing because I haven't seen this movie, and like,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I think between like six to ten years um, certainly
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: before I knew what UC me through one graduated. But
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: that's totally I I think that they just plucked him
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: up from from from British UCB, ye old UCB, and
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: they're like, oh yeah, you seem like you you have
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: a basic feel for the craft. Put on a turban,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: white man and scare every child, like every child. And
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: also that's the other thing that Professor gurl of. He's
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the white guy in a turban and surprise what happened
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: was under the turban is scary And that's not a
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: good precedent set either. Yeah, most people who wear turbans
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: in real life don't have a Baltimore face on the
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: back of their head. I think we can just take
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: out the word most. I don't know a single person
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: except for Judy. She's got a else but she's very nice,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: nic hurt. Any thing for she is um. So, yeah,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: they discovered that it's Quarrel and that he is harboring Baltimore,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: who like can't have his own body yet because he's
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: still like he's like this half person. So of course
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Harry Potter wins. He defeats the bad guy even though
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: he's an eleven year old man like I won, and
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the pretty much the end of the movie. Yeah, and
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: then he gets on a train and the big perfect
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: says see you next year. Book. Don't accept the perpet's offering.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: It's pictures of you and your family from when you
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: were young, like, I don't open it to you, so
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not in your side. So there's there's the movie.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: We forgot to to talk about what this podcast, Steven is,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: you're right, movies up. Well, maybe we'll just say this
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: one hopefully you know, hopefully you know, but the role
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: of women in movies, that's right. Yes. One of the
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: questions I would like to pose is why J K
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Rowling a woman, a pretty outspoken feminist today, at least
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: you've got some feelings about that, I can tell, but
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: it snap her over my leg. Okay, I generally like her,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: but I am just curious to know why she didn't
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: write a female lead. Why a novel when she is
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: a woman. Why did she was like, oh maybe I
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: should write this book and have the men out number
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: the female characters. Has she written a female lead anything?
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know about her work outside of Harry Potter
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: or how much of it there actually neither. There's casual Vacancy,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: which I don't remember she wrote that under a pen
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: name or not. I just remember I worked at a
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: bookstore when I came out, and everyone was like, oh,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: probably don't. It's not that's not supposed to be a
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: very good one. I don't know. I don't know anything
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: about it though. Yeah, I haven't read any of her
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: other work besides Harry Potter, but I guess you know,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: is it interesting that she decided to make the lead
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: a boy. I was thinking about that too, because there
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: are a lot of straw female characters in the book.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: There aren't like in the movie. If we're just going
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: by the movie, I didn't see any weak female characters
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: except for that one girl that came and got sorted after. Yeah,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: like she, I was like, you are her names Susan
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Bones and bones that is also my stripper name. Thank
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: you please, We'll go to the stage hunted house as
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: name is Susan Bones, garbage, lazy timid one. You know,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: yeah you hufflepuff is all the other female characters were
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: super strong. But the male characters there were weak male characters,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: and there were backstabbing male characters, and there were bad
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: male characters and two faced ones. Literally, so I saw
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: it in sending Harry. It's a go get your dudes,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: you know, like your dudes are causing all the trouble
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: in Hogwarts. They're causing all the trouble in the magic world.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: It is not our responsibility to now go and have
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: to produce the emotional labor of handling your dudes. Go
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: get your dude, like I saw it like that. I
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: like that. I like that, put yourself in danger and
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: go get your dude. Right, I'm gonna be out here
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: with the snake grass or whatever there wherever they are.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: So I did a little bit, as as upsetting as
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: it is to me to engage in Jake Haroling's life,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: I wanted to like go over her story a little bit.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: So she was a single mom when she read this,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: I believe, a single mom to a young boy. So
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: that's the main reason I would give her a pass
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: on Harry. But you know she's like raising a little boy,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: so that kind of makes sense. But um what I
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: what I did think it was interesting was that the
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: reason that her pen name is j. K Rowling is
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: because when she gave the manuscript and they were like, yeah,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: we really like this, but because she went by like
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: jo Anne or whatever, and they were like, but we
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: don't think that people are gonna want to read a
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: book by a woman. So that's why they made her
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: change it to like this kind of androgynous J. K
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Rowling so it could have been like the exactly writer
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: of The Outsiders. They did that to her too, right, right,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: And people like, we know j K. Simmons, that's a man,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: j People confuse it and I think he's like doing
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: a weird pivot. But but it's it is interesting to
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: me that was happening like as recently as you know,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: ninety seven. It seems like, yeah, you'd think we meet
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: over that well, but we're not, not even today. Yeah,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: but so, I mean, it's it's it is weird. I mean,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I agree that all the female characters are strong and
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: intelligent and don't really cause trouble at least until we
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: meet like Electrics less strange later on, and she's like
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: pretty much, And who's that bitch that wears pink? Oh?
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Um professor Umbridge, she's Laura's Umbridge. She's a she's Yeah,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I think they don't. I think a movie that was
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: the first time I used the C word in conversation.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, yes, that's like she is. She is it
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: problematic for us to be saying that, maybe, but that
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: is no, I mean, we'll claiming the word. Fine. Every
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Harry Potter villain is a cunt. A villains are cuts.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Let's make no exceptions. All villains freeze cut, total cut
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: everyone except Doc. He's not a cunt. We really need
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: to give him some thoughts. Okay, I was I think
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: that maybe he was trying to do it for the
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: good of science and then maybe got a little sidetracked.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: I was going to start a clock everybody, how long
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: it would take you to mention Alfred Molina or one
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: of his characters. Well, I think the Alfred Malina really
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: sell you on the idea that maybe, like docc is
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: a very nuanced character, unless her actor would not have
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: done that. Perhaps, so shout please tweet back its answer.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: He didn't answer and tweet. I'm so sad. I'm sweating now. Anyway, So, yeah,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Dlora's Umbridge, she's a cunt, she's aunt. Yeah, but that's
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's okay, that's okay, okay, Right. She gives
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: cat lovers a bad name. I forgot that she has cat.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: She loves cat. Isn't she the lady that made that
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: like basically cut her students. She gave Harry a penn
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: and she's like, you must not tell lies. And when
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: he wrote it on the parchment, it actually dug into
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: his hand like it was like he was cutting major cunt. Kids.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Don't cut your kids, easy rule. Yeah, alright, well cps
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: the magic world, Yeah where it goes? Is there ever,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Like I know that there's like magic government, but is
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: there any sort of regulatory force to protect children because
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: all the children are repeatedly they're like, it seems like
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: you've got this, which is crazy. Where do kids they
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: don't go to school, presumably until they're eleven when they
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: go to Hogwarts. Where do they learn to read? When
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: did they read? And there's a math? There's no there's
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: magical math or just like picking up on the way
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: there could be no women. There is no women in STEM,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: although I would argue that Professor McGonagall is a woman
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: in STEM. I feel like transfiguration is the science of
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: the wizarding world. What is transfiguration? It's like turning one
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: thing into another. But potions like that's like Baker potions
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: is like chemistry. Yeah, tubes, Yeah, transfiguraction you need math
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: for that. You need math for two. The T and
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: the T and STEM I think stands for transfiguras and magic, science, transfiguration, engineering,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: magic and magic. Yeah, yeah, you can you can twist it. Okay.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: There are women in STEM yeah, and plenty of them.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: And then also, oh wait, no, I was thinking of
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the they have the herbology Is it herbology in the
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: that's kind of science. Yeah, it's still like home medicinal
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: kind of. It seems health related. There's the study of
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: plants whatever that is. Yeah. Yeah, Professor Sprout is teaching
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: botany classes and they take, um, no, she's a woman. Okay,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: that's what I thought. Okay, so that is a female professor.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: And then there's, um, we don't never see her in
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: the movie, but there is I think a female um
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: astronomy professor that teaches No, that's um yeah, they never
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: they don't take it. I think, like yeah, right, and
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: we I think we don't see her until the third
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: movie or we don't need the third book. Um, but
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: there's another astronomy professor who's a woman. Um. So there's
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of women teachers. A lot of them don't
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: get mentioned or flying class, Madam, Jim Teacher, Jim teacher,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I mean that is Jim teacher, right, that's their equivalent. Yeah,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: like she's she's like and it's Cassini in seventh grade
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: and there it is the school nurse Ak, Madam Pumprey,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: other woman. Um. But a lot of these characters, at
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: least in the movie, don't get a lot of screen
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: time or any significant besides and besides Professor McGonagall, it
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: doesn't seem like many of them have like a high
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: standing in the school. He has double doors in charge.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: We know that. And it seems like mcgonagal is next,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: she's the head of griffin Door House. And then right
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: there's house masters. But are there any other female house masters?
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: I know Snap is Slytherin. Who raven Claw and raven
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Claw I don't know, isn't Oh? I think huffle Puff
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: is Professor Flitwick, the little the little Guy, the little Guy,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: and then raven Claw I think let me look it up.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Their original raven Claw was Rowena raven Claw. Yeah, she
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: was one of the four founding members of She was
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: that book I'm assuming. Oh wait, Maggie, have you ever
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: taken like the quiz they're supposed to take to figure
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: out what house you're in? Yes? I took two because
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: the first quiz gave me some bullshit. I got Griffin
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Door the first time. I was like, I'm not a
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Griffin door. It's not that's not where I am. And
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: then the next time I got raven Claw, which is
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: where I should be. I'm going to Harry Potter World
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: on Sunday, so I'm going to get sorted, and if
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: I don't get into raven Claw, I'm throwing a scene.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Wait do you get sorted at Universal Florida. I've been times,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: but I didn't want to ever wait in the line. Wait,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I saw the commercial and its cool. I'll
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: kinds of it's going to be ridiculous. We should go
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: like is the head of raven Clahouse. So I'm so
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: sorry for all the listeners at home, like you were wrong,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: because I know that's what you were doing. Sorry, all
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Calyn's nerds calmed down. The head of Hufflepuff is Professor
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Sprill Horbology. Okay, okay, that makes sense. So it is
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: half and half for the house masters. Yes, okay, well
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: that's good. We've got women in some leadership roles. That's nice,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: good on the right track. But in terms of just important, yeah,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: female characters who contribute to the story in the movie
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: and also in the books, especially the movie. There goes
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: your mixard made pardon my mix. Hard Um, they just
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: don't have that much to contribute to the story. Although
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I would argue, okay, so let's talk about Hermione, She's
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: that's the main person we have to talk about it,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: I would say that she contributes more to the progression
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: of the story than Ron, if we're arguing that, like Harry,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Ron and her Mine are the three main characters, because
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: I think she a number of times is almost like
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the exposition tool who pushes forward, like and now we're
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: going to the library, and then she'll be the one
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: to figure out, this is what we came to the
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: library for. Okay, next scene, and then she'll like I
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: feel like there's a few scenes in a row where
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: she figures out a critical thing that otherwise it's like, oh,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know what they would have done right. So
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: there were a couple of times in the movie I
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: noticed when Harry was like, oh, well, if it wasn't
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: for her money, we would not like when Ron was like,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: well lucky, I didn't panic, it's lucky hermony. And then
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: she's like you're a great great wizard and he's like
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: you're better. She's like yeah, friendship and whatever. And also
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: like you're my richest friends be aware when speaking to
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: their richest friend. It's not even a gender thing. That's
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: a class issue. I wouldn't tell my richest friend and
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: smarter than him, even if that was true, like, no,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: you're really smart. I wouldn't tell my richard friend that
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I am smarter than him because I hate rich people,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: and then lock him in a cake. I can drink
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: him by being hey, you can't even buy smarts like me,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: give me your money and try. Yeah, slap yeahramatically hundreds
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: or like quarters if you're poor, hurt more. Yeah, I
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: got a stock full of quarters. Bam. Smack the wealthy
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: with it? Yeah, oh so hashtag smack the wealthy. Let's
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: get it going. Find your wealthiest friend. They'll if they're cool,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: they'll understand why you're doing it. They're your friend. They
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: won't press charges, right right, they'll be like, you know what,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: this is symbolic of something larger and I right, I accepted.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Now let's go to dinner. I'm buying because I'm wealthy
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: and I need to spread my wealth. That's all I
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: want for wealthy people to spread their Well, they're sorry,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I'm a socialist. The only time I've ever hit someone
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: in my whole life. Was in college and I punt.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: I was like in an argument with my closest male
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: friend and we had just been like doing. It was
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: over something very stupid, but I got so mad. I'd
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: never been that mad before, and I'm like, I don't
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: have any words left. I'm going to hit him. And
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: so what I did was in the Boston Common, I
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: just getting out of class. I knew he would be
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: heading for the transtation, and I knew we were supposed
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: to be meeting up for dinner to argue more. Insteadled
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: his end it now and I hid behind a tree
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: and waited for him to pass me, and I leaped
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: out and I punched him in the face. And it
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: wasn't a good punch, but it was. It was very dramatic.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: I've been waiting for a while for him to get
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: out of class and I punched him in the face,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: and I'm like never like he stood there and I
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: was just like, I don't want to have this argument anymore.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: And I was like after I hit him, and he
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: was like okay, and then he brought me out to dinner.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: And that's all I've ever hit someone. I want to
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: do that like every twenty years. It sounds like it
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: was effective, and I like it would have been totally
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: valid if it wasn't effective. But I'm very glad that
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: it was. Yeah, right, I didn't. I don't think you've
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: ever been I don't know if you'd ever been hit
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: by anyone, um, much less someone you'd never expect to
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: hit you. And he rewarded you with sizzler afterwards, and
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I got, I got it was like wingsnider or something.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: I didn't put him out, it was it was good. Yeah, hey,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: bring it all back. This doesn't happen in this movie,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: but Hermione does punch Jacob Malfoy in the face in
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: book when she's wearing that hoodie. Yeah yeah, pink hoodie
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: these he deserved it. Um. But going back to Hermione,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: topic I'll always bring up is a woman needing to
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: be saved. It happens over and over again. It's a
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: horrible trope, very annoying, and it happens in the scene
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: it's like Halloween time and someone has let the troll
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: in the castle. And this is right after Harry Ron
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: was like, no, wonder she hasn't got a friends, She's
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: a stupid beach or whatever he said. That's exactly what
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: he says. Uh, And so she goes to the bathroom
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: and cries all afternoon, and then someone lets the troll in,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: and then Harry's like, wait, we've got to tell her mine.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: She doesn't know, and they go and the troll is
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: in the bathroom fling his two thousand one c g
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: I flaying in his little club around and as want
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: to do right her Monee, Like, it's just she doesn't
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: do anything to save herself, even though she's the most
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: competent of the three of them in magic, like she
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: could be like hey en Guardian Lobiosa, and she though
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: she might not, but I feel like, well, they always
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: have their wands on them at all times. This is
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Is this the only time in the movie it happens?
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: It is, right, And so I'm willing to forgive it,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: because she then saves either Ron or Harry or the
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: both of them like three times after that. Right. I
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: think that maybe the fact that that comes so early
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: in the story is almost like a misdirective, like it
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: looks like she can't defend herself because obviously I'm sure
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: like in the right circumstances she could have I don't know,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: but maybe she was just maybe peeing. You know, she's
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: in the bathroom. I mean she had whiles would she
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: had been there was off? Well, she was good. She
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: was crying all day because they were bullying her. I've
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: cried and be at the same time, we don't know
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: an idea coming out of face, like all of my
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: orifices crowding but there I don't know. But but then
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: I guess this if we want to harken back to
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: her a few episodes ago, to our Wonder Woman episode,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: when a woman isn't a superhero, I feel like it's
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: almost a little bit misleading to have her succeed in
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: every scene of like I think it's okay that her
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: money fails or she didn't even fail, but like is
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: freaked out and doesn't isn't like hyper competent in every scene,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: because I just feels kind of I don't know, like
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: it almost feels like a human thing to me, of
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: like you're not going to be competent in every moment
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: of trouble. I think about her money. That I noticed
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: is that she has her strengths and she knows where
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: other people have their strengths and is comfortable enough in
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: herself to let people work on their own strength, Like, um,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: when Ron is doing chess, you mean to tell me,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: smart ass her mind, he can't play some chess. You
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: probably can't. But she's like, Ron's out here doing it
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: all the time. He probably grew up playing wizarding chess.
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: I will defer to him, especially right, this is the
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: only thing he has to contribute to the whole. She's like,
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: he's not going to make him the credits, let him
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: do this. That's interesting, like the the idea of just
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: like choosing her moments carefully, because I mean, that's certainly
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: not something that Ron does. But but I also think
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: that for most moments, he's afraid rather than thinking rationally.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: I think it is funny that Ron's main moment, like
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: his moment of strength, is essentially like I'm eleven and
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going on a suicide mission, Like I'm gonna die
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: for my friend I've known for six months. I was like, oh,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: so still dumb as fuck. Like but like, you know,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: noble dumb as fuck. There's such a thing's to do
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: whatever with some candy frogs. You buy a Weasley a
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: candy frog, you have a friend for life, that mom
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: would meet you a sweater on Christmas everything, because I mean,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: like Harry Potter hadn't even really met his family at
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: that point. You're like, oh, you bought our you about
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: our kids candy ones, Yeah, you can get. My parents
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: were a little bit like that. They're like, well, we
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: get our kids. Not super easy to be friends with.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: If you're going the extra mile, you will be rewarded.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Also that scene where he buys like the chocolate frogs
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: and all the other candy on the train, and that
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: scene there are so many shots of a child's crotch
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: because like Harry's like pulling change out of his pocket,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: or like scabbards is on Ron's lap, and you just
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: see like a shot just as like a small boy's crotch,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: and it's like, surely you could have shot this a
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: little differently. Little boy shot in this movie makes you
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: think about Chris Columbus and where's he as well? This
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: is a vile topic. Do we get any hermoney crutch shots?
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: None that I remember, not that I remember. We'd get
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: several Harry crotch shots at least one. And then I
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: have to go home now, And then there's that scene
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: at the end where Harry saying goodbye to Hagrid that
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: big old perfect and Harry's head comes up to Hagrid's crotch.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: So we get when we're seeing stuff at Harry's perspective,
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: we are looking at Hagrid's. We've got to assume horse
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: stick maybe bigger than a horse. Maybe the man's huge.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, which we learned later in the series
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: that his mother was a giant and his father was
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: a human. How did that sex happen? Okay, don't talk
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: about me and my ex boyfriend. Don't talk about me
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: and my mom. Man, it works. Also, I'm probably gonna
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: get yelled at for kink shaming or something. A giant
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: and a human can't funk what's wrong with that? It's curious,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: that's all I'm saying. Have to climb up her to
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: do that? Yeah, people don't just like that's not I
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: bet he could have crawled inside of her vagina, left
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: into that cowardous vagina. Maybe there's like a whole Ulysses
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: style adventure. He took inside her vagina, found his way
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: back out, and then somehow he had, you know, scuffed
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: to the right place. And she was pregnant. We don't
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: know that their starry because she was artificially insidated garbage
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: bag full of yeah, he whole from the past. Move
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: like yeah, he had to come in a jar every
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: day for six years, and then there's a twenty percent
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: chance his wife might conceive. If Aristotle is crying, they
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: just put it in a super so girl like the
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: best or like a T shirt gun. Just this is
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: not king shaming. This is king empower. This is the
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: science behind women in stem. Just just a discussion of
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: just normal reproduction. Yeah, well, um, come inside you is
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: an acceptable king, I'll say it. Um. Going back to
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: her mind and so yes, she doesn't need to be
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: saved by Harry and ron Um and scene with the troll.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: But then a bunch of other things happen where when
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: they're like running through the third floor corridor and they
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: like need to escape filch, she's like, Hellohamura, she knows
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: the spell, so it's like kind of a minor one.
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: But then whenever she realizes that what she thinks of
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: snape cursing Harry on his broomstick during the quidditch game,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: She's like, leave it to me, and then runs up
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: to Snape's little audience pit area, his little family the
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: opera area and lights his robes on fire with love
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: it Arson got a love a good uh you know,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: felony um and your teacher on fire, you know, and
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: then manages, even though like she targets the wrong person,
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: she manages to save Harry from you know, falling off
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: his room and dying. And then towards the end, like
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: you already mentioned, when they get caught in the Devil's
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: snare the big plan, She's like, you just gotta relax.
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: And then Ron is freaking out and you can't exactly
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: and he's just like Harry listens but a personality uh
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: and then yeah, Ron is all like, oh yeah, look,
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: it's like she saved your ass just waking acknowledge it
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: for one second, which is why Ron is a chode
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: and he sucks. Man. Okay, you're right, you're right. But
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: I think as a chode, he like all cho they grow,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: They grow if you just give him a chance. He doesn't.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: Though he stays a piece of ship through the entire series.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: He does nothing but like verbally abuse her and undermine
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: her abilities. He's not he's a show really, Okay, Well,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: I believe you. I'm sorry. I okay, I just have
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: a lot of problems with ron. I just had a
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: crush on Ruper Grant for too long, and I'm being
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: an apologist in that, and that's on me. Ruper Green
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: came into the bookstore I where once, and I'm taller
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: than him. Who Yeah, it's kind of like a human
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: slash giant test kind of well, and they'll welcome him
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: James Joy's voyage within me. But I wasn't enough to Yeah, hey,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: I got a T shirt, gun a few and you
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: have six months and a lot of amazing opening line
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: I want to go for. Okay, another thing that her
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: minde does that. Okay, so she here's the thing. She's
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: poised as this like brainiac. She's very clever, she's a
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: know it all. Her smartness and cleverness is almost poised
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: as like a flaw of hers because at least at
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: the beginning, she's like, look at everything I know, and
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: look at all the spells I know, and look how
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: smart I am and how good I am it all
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: the school things. And then she man splains a lot.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: She's like it's actually Levio Sa, Levio SA or whatever.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: But that's kind of fun. Though it's kind of like
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: I don't mind that she's explaining overly explaining, because it's
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: like you're you're a boy and you're dumb, and I'm
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: a smart girl. And then she grows out of that, like,
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe she sees like this isn't the way
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: to be or maybe just like not even the most
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: effective way to get what she needs to get done
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: done by just pissing people. I don't know, but I mean,
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: I feel like her. I feel like it created results,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: like her telling Ron how to correctly say when Guardian
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: Leviosa like later on he used it right paid one.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: That's true. So I mean, and then what I didn't
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: think about when we were watching the movie but occurs
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: to me now is that also she aside from the
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: fact that there's clear weird gender disparity at Hogwarts to
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: some extent, she is also coming from the point of
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: like she's seen as and this comes out I think
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: in later books it's like a half breathe mud. She's
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: a mud, but right, and so I'm sure like even
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: at the point where that's not discussed in the movie,
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: she is maybe of the mind of like, well, I
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: have something to prove. So I have to be I mean,
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: and this is this goes back to it a gender
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: sort of metaphor of like, well I have to be
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: twice as good to be taken seriously as this redheaded cuck,
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: you know. And so I don't know, know that I
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: think of it like like that. And she's not coming
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: from like any point of privilege in the magic world.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Fuck that sentence, Jamie. But but like I I don't know,
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: I guess that justifies her attitude. Well also like um,
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: I would say that the uh, you're not from a
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: pure wizarding family, you're not a pure blood, Like that's
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: the racism of the wizarding world, right, you know what? Honestly,
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Hermione was a black person. Did y'all know that in
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: the books like written like in that play that they
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: have in England, it's a black person playing her Miniver
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: was kissed and like J. K. Rowling was like, I
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: never said she was white. And if you look at
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: the books, like she never they said she has frizzy hair. Yeah,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: they just said she has frizzy hair. And it's like
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: a brillo pad and it's like soft. Nobody wanted to
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: touch it. She had never let anybody, but yeah, she
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: like could easily be a person I love. I never
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: knew that. Yeah, I think there's casting directors then for
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: casting Emma Watson. Yeah yeah, And they need to watch
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: Beauty and the Beast unfair to watch all those perfume
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: ads come. I love that. Oh my god, I wish
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: I wish that even further, like adds another layer of
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: other stuff that she's now also having to like go
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: against and like perceptions that people are going to perceive
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: of her just for being, you know, any kind of
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: a way, you know, intersectionality. Oh, she's so angry, she's
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: such a bit. No, dude, she's just a person of color.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: That's cool. I want to read more about that. Play ye. Also,
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: to make Emma Watson's hair frizzy in this movie, they
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: actively crimp her hair the hall, which is another just
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: a beautiful early Oughts touch that I appreciate it. They're like,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: how do we frizzit? Of Oh, don't worry, my daughter
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: has a crimping iron in her house. We'll figure this out.
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: Going back to this is a very white movie. There
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: are some people of color, they usually don't have any lines,
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: except for like Lee Jordan as he's announcing the quidditch game. Um,
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: although is I want to say Angeline and Johnson one
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: of the quidditch players a person of color. I think
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: she is so, Yeah, I think so. And then there's
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: one other guy that's like kind of the periphery of
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: his little like friend group o'dan honest, I think so
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: because he's there age right, he's like a little buddy
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: buddy with that one kid that keeps blowing himself up Scottish. Yeah,
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: Shamus and Dean. Yeah, I think Dean I kind of
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: like that friendship. Yeah, let's see their story. I wanna
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: spin off those are there. Well, there's like because the
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: kids in this movie are such adults, it's like fun
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: to see like kids behaving like dumb little kids sometimes
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: and blowing themselves up. It's nice, yeah, true, or like
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: never long about him, like I'm scared you are weird,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: weird little kid. Going back to quidditch though, I did
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: enjoy that it's as you pointed out, co ed teams. Yeah,
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: didn't feel the need to separate them into you know,
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: a boy's team and a girl's team. Also all three female. Well,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: she's like the quidditch master Jim Teacher. I don't know
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: if they have coaches, Master Jim Teacher, but all three
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: of the chasers on the Prifven door team are women,
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: so it's like and they're like point scores, they're like,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: they're like they're the ones dealing with the heavy ones around.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: I love how. Also, quidditch is a sport invented by
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: someone who has no understanding of how sports work. Listen,
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: if you're a real life person, I'm gonna I'm looping
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: you in with the steampunk community as far as people
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: I don't respect. If you're a real life person and you,
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: in your spare time play quidditch with your other adult friends,
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna need you to walk into the sea. It's
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: just an unacceptable way to spend your time. Go meet
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: up with your local steampunks and let's start off. I'm
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: all about quidditch, though. If your kid is on a
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: quidditch team, I'll go watch them. It's with kids, it's
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: it's with kids as a kid with like with with
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: the better fly though, If it's a bunch of kids
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: running around and throwing stuff, I don't have time. That's soccer.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: The children had better be able to fly Yeah, they're
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: better be real magic and real brooms. My college had
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: a quidditch team, and I found it so deeply upsetting.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: That's like, oh, someone I went on a date with
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: is now actively in public flailing about thinking he can fly.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: I can't. I can't accept its college like with brooms
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: between their legs, running around and trying to be athletic. Yeah, yeah,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: it's some real art bullshit. Yeah, grow up art school,
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: grow up art school. Pick up a fucking basketball and
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: figure it out on the football field. Yeah, you had
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: a concussion for sports. Yeah, put on a get strap
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: your skates on. Let someone kick you in the head
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: with a skate. Also, why is quidditch the only sport
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: in the wizarding world? There should be We don't have
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: just wizard baseball, Wizard b balla quidditch is the only
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: sport because it looks like it's like five sports put together,
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: like nine things happening at all times. I guess, like
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: sort of every it was about like three or four
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: different kinds of balls. There's a blood Yer's quaffles in
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: this niche. Yeah, I wonder how much thought she actually
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: put into that. Yeah, hard to say, but it comes
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: part of the books, especially that it's like why are
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: why are you so much emphasis on this anyway I
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: wanted to talk about. Oh I love how like this
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: is not about what this podcast is about, but I
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: have to mention that I love how much product placement
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: there is in this movie for products that don't exist,
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: products that ten years later what exists, and then they
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: can like like capitalize on that later on with all
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: the birdie bots, every flavor beans like that, because if
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: you go to Universal Studios to Harry Potter World, can
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: you can buy wands and you can buy all the
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: candy and but there's just like so many shots where
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: it's check out this logo for the Nimbus two thousand
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: and it's like it's like, was Nimbus sponsoring this movie?
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: Did you get money to put Nimbut it's like so
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: funny because like Harry Potter as like a movie franchise
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: had flopped that would be so embarrassing to watch back now.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: It's like they were really like swinging for the rafters
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: with that, but it just happened to like work out
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: in a pretty spectacular way. Um, there isn't the second
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: movie they Flying Car is like afford remember that although
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: I don't. I tried looking it up. I don't know
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: if it's a real type of Ford. It was like
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: a Ford I forget, but I was like, what Ford Fiesta?
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: Were they driving a Ford Fiesta for focus? I'd have
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: to sensible choice. My mom and sister both drive a
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: Ford Focus dress focus, boring car, very boring. Um. Hey,
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: here's something I wanted to talk about. Why doesn't Hermione
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: have any female friends? I was wondering about that. Yeah,
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: that's a good question. She's got people to choose from.
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: She's got Lavender Brown, she's got Pevardi Patel. She doesn't
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: have people right later, doesn't she kind of become friends
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: with Luna Lovegood a bit. Yeah, but that's quite a
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: bit later on. I don't think we even meet Luna
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: until book five Younger, right, I think she's their year,
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: but she's in raven klawon that. Like it seems like
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: the houses don't they only are enemies with each other. Yeah,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: they don't like hang out, which, like what kind of
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: precedent is? But yeah, that is interesting. I mean I
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: know that probably statistically she is there's less girls, or
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: it looks in this movie anyways, there's less girls that
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: go to Hogwarts. Maybe I think that that might even
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: out later on, but still it's I don't know, that's interesting.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: It didn't really look like a lot of girls and
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: griffriend door. Yeah. I can't really like it's like they's
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: like and then a few weather kids. Yeah, okay, I
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: love that. The implication basically about the weaves Las is
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: like they're probably Catholic. It doesn't seem it doesn't seem
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: like they really believe in birth. They were like old school,
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: like New England Catholic dosh kid like, yeah, freckle irish
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: kid had never seen econom in their life, even though
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: there's probably a fucking spell for that that's free. What
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: does wizard birth control? Like? Good question, there's no probably
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: effective right probably else there's a counterspell like I want
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: to get you. I don't know one man has ever
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: truly said that, I want to get your preyny and
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: well a question for J. K. Rowling to answer in
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: a series of very boring clickbad articles sometime in the
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: next five hours. I can't stand when she does is
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: that where she every couple of years or she's like, oh,
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: it feels like maybe interest isn't like where it should be. Uh,
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: this character is By doesn't change anything that happened. Chill out.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: We we see you, You're I see you. You're fine.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: You're still a millionaire. You don't need to tweet about
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: we still like the books. Yeah, it's like you don't
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: need to tweet about which teenager you're saying is By.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: I think the more people, the more arbitrary makes LGBT
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: the better. I'm sick of all these fucking straight white people.
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: But I don't like that she does. She seems to
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: do it for like fucking attention, Like it's not Maybe
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: can we talk about Professor mcdonagall y Downtown Abbey, Mrs
• 57:44
  Speaker 1: Downton Abbe Abbey of Downtown. Yeah, this is Abigail Downtown.
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: That's my c w remain of Downtown Abbey. Downtown Downtown
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: is about girl trying to make it in New York
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: City after Hermione. She's the female character with the most
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: screen time and dialogue and importance and bearing on the story.
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, I really like her. She's stern, and she's strict,
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: you know, tough but fair. She's no nonsense, but she's
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: also compassionate and highly capable, very smart, a boss as
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: bitch a lover u sports. Yeah, real into sports. You
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: could tell she was that. Yeah, but she was on
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: the team back in the day. She was a scout.
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: She basically was like, Harry, you're a secret now. Yeah,
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: she's one of the people, like you wrote the rule,
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: here's your rule. And she buys Harry a broom like
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: he's got money. Right, there's you Weasley a broom. He's poor.
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: These Weasley's what are they? She made me think she's
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: got money on a lot of those quidditch games. Yeah,
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: maybe interest nagas got dice. Why she isn't headmaster if
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: if you're listening, here has an idea for some club. Baby, Yeah,
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: I'll click the all of that. Yeah, yeah on Facebook
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: it works, it works. Oh boy, she's great. I like
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: her a lot. Um, she doesn't have a whole lot
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: to do with the actual like I'm gonna do a
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: thing that makes the story go forward. She's you know,
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: sort of on the periphery for the most part. But
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: she's an important character in later books and movies. Um,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: I think maybe plays more of a significant role in
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: different things. But we even talked about on Petunia at all, right,
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: and she I mean, obviously don't like her, but I
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: think she's a more interesting character than she gets credit
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: for something, because especially this movie is like it's a
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: Chris Columbus movie. He made Home alone. I think he
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: came at this like I'm making a goofy kids movie
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: and it works. I like it. But I like the
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: character of and Petunia because it's sort of like her
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: attitude informs Harry Potter's life in such a major way,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: where she had this rivalry with her sister and like
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: there was a lot of jealousy that she wasn't, you know,
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: perceived to be as special as her sister was, and
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: that kind of derails the first ten years of her
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: nephew's life. And so I don't know, I feel like
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: she has like a weird amount of power over this story.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: And even though you only sort of see her being
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: like like, she sort of is kind of like an
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: inciting person in how the whole series goes just which
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: is interesting because and it also from I was just like,
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: would I rather like actively it sounds exhausting making an
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: adorable child miserable for ten years like over like, well,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: he's important in this area of the world that I
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: don't have to associate with. If I don't want to,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: why not just let him go? But I mean that
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: speaks to how mad she was, probably because I often wondered, like,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: why wouldn't you just like it wasn't like they were
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: going to come into contact with that. It doesn't seem
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: like they ever would have had to know. So weird
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: because it maybe perhaps there's like some female rivalry, which
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: I mean with sisters is more. I mean that just happens, um,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: But it's strange she would keep that rivalry up for
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: her dead sister though, who died to pretty brutal way.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: That's kind of weird that she wouldn't be like, Okay,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: well shoot, you know, let me, you know, put a
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: bookmark in this and like not she was just like,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, and by the way, I'm also going
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: to funk up your kid's life too. Yeah. That's that's intense,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: you know principle. Are there any like twists with her
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: later in the series or like where it turns out
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: and I don't find out something about how she agreed
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: to protect Harry so that like Baltimore could never find
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: find him at their house, so she did something no
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: bull at something. It seems like she would have had
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: to because otherwise, like that's that's like I can't imagine
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: anyone having that level of anger after their sibling is
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: like brutally. It's like she's like cartoonishly bitter and dig
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: about it. Yeah yeah, and like well kind of waste
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: her own life making a boy to someone who has
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: been dead for ten years. Yeah, she's such a cook.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: On the other side too, because she is so over
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: by her son. Her Yeah, her fun She is such
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: a cook. I'm like, oh, like you're just letting everybody
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: else is it a thing of like, oh, my kid
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: is a piece of ship. So I'm going to take
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: that out on because she doesn't seem like she has
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: much power over who. Only the way this movie is stylized,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: especially at the very beginning, it looks like Chris Columbus
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: thinks he's like adapting a roll dollbook because it's very good.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: Every shot of Uncle Vernon is like he's like mugging
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: in some way, like and like it's so funny. Because
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: the series does get so dark later until the point
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: where the whole like the movies are three hours long
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: and like blue, but the first I don't know that's
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: part of why I like this movie because it's like
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: there is like a levity to it that there isn't
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: to the others. But the family at the beginning, especially
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: like there's just they're just cartoon characters. It was very
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: much like Matilda, right, yeah, letters, I was like, this
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: is that scene in Matilda, the veto in Matilda. We
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: should you Matilda episode. Okay, okay, we haven't talked about
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: the most important female character in the whole movie. Mrs Norris,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: the cat. She just kidding, but she holds a special
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: place in my heart because she's also she you know,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: she does things. She's like you, I'm gonna run and
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: you have to run away from me so you don't
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: get in trouble. And then that's what leads them to
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: the corridor on the third floor where they find Fluffy
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: the Three Headed Dog, and that's how they figure out
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. So Mrs Norris more important than we
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: give her credit for. I'm with it. I like her.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: It's my hot take on the cat, hotcat take he
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: takes being a dog's both Fluffy the Three Headed Dog
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: and fang Hagrid's dog. We mustn't forget that. We need
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: to say dogs out like hogs out, the dogs out,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: the dogs out. You're perfect, don't take your hog outs
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: will be placed under her ass. It is amazing watching
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: that movie. Why would you let a child be alone
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: with that person? I don't now we're gonna be getting
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: emails about size shaming. He's very scary. He's scary and
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: he's and they're like, he's a gentle giant. I think
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: maybe we should stop talking to kids about gentle giants
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: so much. They seem sort of like outliers versus perverts
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: who want to eat you. Well, you know, Dumbledore trusts
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: him with his life. He gets all the important tasks,
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: even though he also manages to funk everything. Dumbledore, the
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: old man who constantly puts children in grave danger. Let's
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: listen to his recommendation. He's like, I try to agree
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: with my life. Meanwhile, Haggard's like, should I'll take this
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: dragon egg and let me just tell you all the
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: secrets about how to get past my three headed dog.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: Stranger in a bar whose face I never saw. He's
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: a drunk, he's an alcoholic. He's an alcoholic. He was
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: always like, I shouldn't have told you that, And look
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: at his life though I would die. I mean, look
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: at his is in a tiny shack with an assortment
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: of animals. His only friends are children. Yeah, seems a
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: little sad. He's a oh you, And at this point
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: in the movie he doesn't even he's a he's like
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: a janitor. He doesn't he's not a teacher. Rights In fact,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: he's a Yeah, he got expelled from Hogwarts. He can't
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: even do magic. He still does it. Maybe that's when
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: he gets off the sauce, when he gets a job
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: as a teacher. Maybe you lay off the butter beer. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: the butter beer, which is basically just what is that
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: at at Universal Studios. It's basically cream soda with like
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: butter scotch flavoring. It's disgusting. I hate it, will not
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: buy it. People like it. I prefer pumpkin juice. If
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: you're going to go to your Universal and get a
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: hairy Potter drink all about the pumpkin juice. So that's
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: just another hot take from Let's Go. I have a
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: few days left on my season past hell yeah, at
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: the end of June. But I have a few blackout
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: days on the weekend. Okay, just so, I mean, let's
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: figure this out. Do you have any fun I thought
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: you want to say about the movie, the portrayal of
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: women in the movie. I do want to bring up
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: one more because she was kind of a background character,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: but she provided the biggest magic of all this Harry's mom.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: She provided the biggest magic of all, which is like
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: what we do see in flashbacks. I always I forget
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: that you see her in flashbacks. But that's why Harry
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: was able to like win is because she gave him
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: the best magic, which was punk asked love. Still. That
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: was like she essentially was the hero of or the
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: catalyst behind his heroism. So I found that right, Yeah, right,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: He's only the famous celebrity Harry Potter because she sacrificed.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: Which why are women sacrificing themselves for men be sacrificing? Well,
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: she appears in the mirror to right, She's just like
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: in the mirror and the little photo book that Haggard
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: gives him a d end she pops up all over
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: the place. Is a weird pervert took these pictures of
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: you and your family. He's like, don't flip to page.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: My thumbs and one of them moving on the side.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: That's great, let's talk about whether or not the movie
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: passes the Bechdel tests. So there is one scene that
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: I think is a candidate that we did not catch
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: the first time, right. I had to rewatch it again
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: and I was like, wait a minute. There's the scene
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: after they've defeated the troll in the girl's bathroom. Professor
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: McGonagall comes in. She's like, what's all this. Oh my god,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: you guys could have been killed. Harmony steps forward and says,
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: it's my fault, Professor McGonagall. I was looking for the troll.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: I'd read about them and thought I could thank you.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: I'd read about them and thought I could handle it.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: I was wrong. If Harry and Ron hadn't saved me,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: I'd probably be dead. She says, Harry wrong and then right,
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: and then Professor mcgonagal replies and she's just like I
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: expected more rational thinking from you. I'm really disappointed in you.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: I can't believe this. Five points from Griffin door yeah,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: first of all, five points really yeah, more yeah, the
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: very arbitrary there seems to be extremely and there's like
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: we're like, there's like very crazy point inflation later in
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: the mine before to at the end of the year.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: They're like that you for this, give me some chips.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: D points double Door manipulates children. He's like, hey, it's
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: Lutheran's you won. Just kidding, bitch, Like I was like,
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: they're eleven, Why would you do that? You're eight hundred
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: years old? So mean if your grandpa did that to you.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: It was like, Jamie my favorite, actually just kidding. Literally
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: everyone else is my favorite. That's so mean. I would
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: argue that you've got to start manipulating people young so
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: they can get used to it when they're an adult.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: Because people are always going to manipulate. They need these
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: kids need practice because here's the thing. Baltimore manipulated people
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: into following him, So you gotta be prepared. You gotta
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: know like how not like you can now win an
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: Academy award and then lose it, and now you know
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: how it feels. You're he moonlighted those kids, so like,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: what is the worse pain than then those kids got
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: missed Columbia? Wait o, wait so wait wait In this analogy,
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: Slytherin was La La Land, which if there's ever been
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: a more Slytherin movie pointed out to me because in
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: Moonlight was Griffin door yeah, or or the alternate double
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: door is Steve Harvey, and then I forget the two
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: other countries, but double Doore is Steve Harvey, right, got
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: the same wace front Wave. Did I ever say the
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: double doors white? Because maybe they should agast Steve Harvey.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: What a different series. It would be awesome. That was
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: like what Steve Harvey was like remembered for mainly I
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: just watched The Whiz for the first time. Please can
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: there be another adaptation of Harry Potter where it's an
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: all black cast? Oh my god, yes, yes, please, and
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: whoever is listening please hire me to do it. Yeah.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: I work for cheap. I will tell sag whatever you
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: need me to tell them. I'll work all day and
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: all night. Partial nudity, I'll show use the shoulder. That
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 1: would be so good. Oh yes, I do all my
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: own stunts too perfect. I have my own broom. Let's
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, we were talking about if this movie
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: passes the bactoral test or not. So kind of hard
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: to tell because she does her money. Does mention Harry
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: and Ron in that line of dialogue, However, it's not
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: really what the conversation is about. She's taking the well
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: she's kind of blame for them too. I don't think
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: it passes because the men are or the boys are
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: like integral to that conversation. I could argue that it's
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: like she's talking about being able to defeat a troll
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: and she failed, but she's taking the blame for two boys.
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: That's the reason why I don't take because she could
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: have just said, like I was here taking a monstrous ship.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: It's unclear why she even feels the need to cover
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: for them anyway. I don't get why that happens. There's
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: no need. I think I possibly because in the context
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: of the scene, they put themselves in danger on her behalf,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: and maybe she felt it. I could see that way,
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: but that scene doesn't pass for me. And also just
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: the fact that there had to be this much discussion
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: to reach any sort of conclusion. It's just like, well,
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: it probably could have done better. There's female characters around,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: and then they're only I think two other scenes where
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: there are women together in the room who might have
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: had an opportunity to talk, but it doesn't happen. There's
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: another scene where Professor McGonagall and Hermione. I think they're
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: in her office after she has found them like lurking
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: outside of the cast at she wouldn't be lurking um
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: And she's like, you guys get detention. But I don't
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: think Hermione even speaks in that scene. It's mostly Harry
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: and Professor McGonagall talking. And then later in the movie
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: whenever they're like, we need to talk to Dumbledore. Someone's
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: trying to steal the Chamber of secrets. What's this movie?
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: And what's the operative prop in this one? Like that one? Yeah,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: I mean the first four that it's it's Harry Potter
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: and this prop. Harry Potter in a rock, Harry Potter
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: and Harry Potter in a building, Harry Potter in a cup.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: He's a prov comedian. He's a comedian, a petition I'm
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: figured anyway. In that scene also she's like Dumbledore's not here,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: he's in London for the Ministry of Magic. Again, her
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: money doesn't say anything. So surprisingly, few opportunities for women
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: to even talk in the movie. It's a symptom of
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: the problem of storytellers not feeling the need to just
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: make more of the characters women. There's so many, like
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: of the male characters, we've got Harry Ron Dumbledore, Haggard, Draco, Neville,
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: long Bottom, Snape, Quarrel, Baltimore, and then like secondary and
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: tertiary characters like Oliver, would the Weasley, the other Brothers, Flitwick,
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: nearly Headless, Nick, the Centaur, Man in the Woods, and
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: then really, of the main female characters, it's Hermione and
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: Profession McGonagall, and that's pretty much it. There's Madam Hooch,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: he's she says a few lines, and Petunia has a
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: bit of a role in the story, but like they
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: never intersect with other female characters, or they rarely do.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: I would be interested, and maybe there are we have
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: listeners who are hardcore enough Harry Potter fans. I'm sure
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: this exists out there somewhere, but be interested in how
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: that evolves over from like movie to movie, from story
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: to story, and then eventually from my guest director to director.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: Because this one I doesn't pass, I would imagine, because
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: I think the second movie is kind of the same
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: exact tame as the first movie. If it does pass,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: probably not by that much. But it's I don't know,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not nothing's going to make me rewatch
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: these movies. I thought it would be interested to know.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: We see much more of Mrs Weasley in the second movie,
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: that's true. Yeah, we see of the new professors. It's
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: the Gildroy Lockhart. So he's a handsome, handsome, handsome cut
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: guy who can't do anything mediocres actor you TV one
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: on one. Uh yeah, i'd have to really, let's just
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: do all the Harry Potter movies back if you're another episode, absolutely,
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: because I have strong opinions and I can think of
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: some scenes from like later ones where I'm like, this
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: would totally pass the Bechtel test for sure, like Book seven, right,
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: for sure, the Unbridged movie. That's gotta pass because she's
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: in so much of it, and I feel like to
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 1: her McGonagall, like have it out at some point, or like,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: I Harriston, I think I just actually called you Haristotle, Haristotle, Haristotle.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: You should go by Harry for short, Harry Potter. Okay,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: Harry Stottle don't make Harry Stotle. He doesn't deserve it
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: in a good way. And then hot take, I agree
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: that let's write the movie on her nipple scale. We
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: read the movie on a scale of zero to five
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: nipples based on its portrayal of women. I would say
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it three or three and a half.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: I'll skew down to a three because I think it
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: could have done a better job, especially considering it was
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 1: adapted from source material written by a woman. I don't
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: know why she didn't include of the female characters that
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of them are. Yes, they're strong characters,
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: they are well developed, but there's just not enough of
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: them that contribute that much to the story. Hermione is great,
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: and I think, as we've agreed, she has more bearing
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: on the story than Ron, who is virtually useless. But man,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get so many tweets people Ron, would you?
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: And I just wish that the gender balance was more equal,
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: Like why aren't there more female characters who are contributing
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: more to the story. That might improve down the road,
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: but at least for this first movie, I'm gonna go
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: with the three nipples. The nipples belong two of them.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: I love giving having a nipple belong to an animal,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: so um. Two of them belong to the three headed
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: dog Fluffy, so it's got some fluffy nipples. And then
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: the third one it belongs to the center, whose nipples.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: We do see whose nipple? Oh yeah, we do. Because
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: he's shirtless. You can see his big horse dick, and
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: we see his nipples, his human nipples. We see that
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: half horse talk. I'm going to piggyback on you. I
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: agree with three because similar reasons. There are not really
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: any female characters that we are actively introduced my as
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: Susan Bones. But like almost every female character were introduced
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: to is strong, is a professional, or at least has
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: enough of a background that you understand where they're coming from,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: which is all you can ask out of a character.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: They're not. You know, they're not all going to be
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: fucking wonder woman bad ass bitches, but we know where
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: they're coming from their characters. That I feel like is
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: pretty impressive for any movie. But they don't talk to
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: each other. And I think another positive thing you can
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: say for this movie is that women are not actively
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: punished in the way I think women in major movies
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: often are just because they are women and around. But again,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: that is not a trophy or an accomplishment. That's just
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: something that you wouldn't should default too. But movies can't
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: even manage to default to that, right, Like movies that
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: came out ten years after that, movies that came out
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: sucking yesterday. It still can't pull it off for a
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: lot of the time. So that's good. But three nipples
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: because they don't talked to each other enough. Give two
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: of the nipples to Double Door, but Steve, Steve Harvey,
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: Double Door, and then I'll give my last nipple to
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: Ron's Rats who turns out it turns out to be
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: that that British character actor who's in every movie. Yeah,
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: so three, yeah, I would agree with that. I would
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 1: give three. I was leaning to three and a half
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: nipples because of the strong female characters UM that were
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: an important part of the story, but their inclusion in
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: the story was what kind of what gave them that ceiling.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 1: I didn't like that they didn't talk to each other.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: I didn't like that Hermione didn't have other feet. Like
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: I can't even off the top of my head be like, oh, yeah,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: this other woman is a griffin door. Oh I've seen
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: you know, other griffin doors sitting around, Like I've seen
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: other male griffin door sitting around. It was just an
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: emphasis on men with strong female characters sprinkled in UM
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: and men's relationships like all the bonds apart from his
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: bond with Hermione, most of the like relationships in the
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: movies Harry and Hagrid, Harry and Dumbledore's budding, Harry and
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: Ron Christmas together. Sorry, yeah, there's no happy Christmas. Christmas
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: real British? Yeah was there to the celebrating Christian holidays.
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: Here's some Christian witches. Let's see who get these nipples? Um?
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: I would give the half nipple is ms Norris? Cool
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: because very small kitties have eight nipples, as we recently
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: learned from the line Caitlyn and I captured a strike
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: and count it? Wait what was the movie? Like? They're
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: from the Wizard of Oz because I was like the
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: cowardly lion. How many nipples do cats have? And eight
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: is the number? Sixt eight one and a half yeah? Um.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: And then another nipple goes to Professor flit Wick. Is
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: he the one who was decorating the Christmas tree? He
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: gets because I really feel like he's seen some stuff
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: out there. And another nip goes to uh, you know what,
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give this nip to Snap? Okay, oh yeah,
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: I can't get a lot of love, right. You get
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: to have a nipple and his perky okay, and it
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: would be that's why his robes are so flowing. His
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: nips are hard. Just the one nip this year is
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: real hard and just I learned it. You earned it.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: I like it recipes Alan Rickman. Yeah, well, Maggie, thank
