- 0:12Speaker 1: start changing it with the Bedel Cast. All right, well,
- 0:16Speaker 1: it's the first day after the worst day. Good one,
- 0:20Speaker 1: first day after the worst day. It's the Bechdel Cast.
- 0:23Speaker 1: My name is Jamie, my Caitlin, And yesterday we tried
- 0:25Speaker 1: to stalk Alfred Billina here and then I had a
- 0:29Speaker 1: panic attack and Caitlyn got scared and we didn't say hi.
- 0:32Speaker 1: But today is another day. And that's not to say
- 0:35Speaker 1: that we are going to see alt from Millia today.
- 0:37Speaker 1: We're not. We pretty effectively fucking blew that. But all
- 0:42Speaker 1: I have to say is the first day after the
- 0:44Speaker 1: worst day. It's been in a real twenty four hours.
- 0:47Speaker 1: I've actually been reflecting a lot about it. What are
- 0:49Speaker 1: you thinking? I have like an hour long conversation last
- 0:52Speaker 1: night the dear friend about how you know I can
- 0:54Speaker 1: have something four feet away and still not say hey,

- 1:12Speaker 1: sick in the head and I love you. I don't
- 1:15Speaker 1: know anyways, So welcome to the Betel Cast. What's it about, right?
- 1:19Speaker 1: The portrayal of women in movies, and usually it's not
- 1:22Speaker 1: great that one was for women. Our guest hates women.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Um credit if you're wondering. If you're wondering what Bechtel cast?
- 1:41Speaker 1: What does that mean? It's inspired by the Bechtel test,
- 1:43Speaker 1: which requires that a movie has two characters. They're women.
- 1:46Speaker 1: They have names. They talk to each other, not about
- 1:49Speaker 1: a man, about anything else. Too much to ask to
- 1:54Speaker 1: terrorist list of demands we need to women. Those women
- 2:01Speaker 1: are names, not about Ryan Gosling. I got to talk
- 2:05Speaker 1: about their dreams. Yeah, do you want to be introduced?
- 2:09Speaker 1: I'm sorry, he hates women. He's a pro wrestler. It's
- 2:19Speaker 1: me Hampton. Yeah, well I was going to do it
- 2:22Speaker 1: for you. I'm from a comic. I'm a funny guy,
- 2:26Speaker 1: and I been different towards men and women. Largely, there's
- 2:31Speaker 1: really really no emotion. I think that that's progressive in
- 2:33Speaker 1: its in its own, in its own beautiful way. Well,
- 2:36Speaker 1: isn't it also the little binary there? I'm saying men
- 2:38Speaker 1: and women, what about difference non binary? So much you
- 2:43Speaker 1: might know Hampton from being the voice of Crow on Mr. Sense.
- 2:49Speaker 1: Oh my god, the new one. Yea, oh my god,
- 2:53Speaker 1: it's good. I love it. I have I have a
- 2:58Speaker 1: I have a full case of energy drinks of like
- 3:01Speaker 1: really like Porsche level and pounded half of one already. Yeah.
- 3:06Speaker 1: It's called uptime mental physical energy supplement original jin sing
- 3:11Speaker 1: jing co bloba bloba. It's like the one word that
- 3:17Speaker 1: it's a medicine that helps you remember things well. So
- 3:21Speaker 1: clearly it's not working, or it debilitated my ability to
- 3:25Speaker 1: form words. It's taking that away from the blow. But
- 3:29Speaker 1: Cohen's I'm cute. Ten. Hey let's talk about movies. Yeah, okay,
- 3:34Speaker 1: we're here to talk about Blade Runner. I like it, right,
- 3:39Speaker 1: I actually like it. So Hampton, tell us about when
- 3:42Speaker 1: did you first see this movie? What's your the best
- 3:45Speaker 1: movie ever? Second best movie in Boondogs Saints its Reduction?
- 3:54Speaker 1: I don't know. I like the movie. It's I watched
- 3:56Speaker 1: it when I was a teen, and I think I
- 3:59Speaker 1: saw all the bad version first, and which one is
- 4:03Speaker 1: bad version? Is the one that has the narrator where
- 4:06Speaker 1: Why didn't he Harrison Ford hated doing it so much
- 4:09Speaker 1: that he uh, he did it badly, like on purpose.
- 4:12Speaker 1: He was narrating it. Yeah, the studio was like, this
- 4:15Speaker 1: movie is like unfollowable, so they're kind of like, he
- 4:18Speaker 1: should do this narration. That's always like my wife used
- 4:21Speaker 1: to call me cold fish because I was a cold
- 4:24Speaker 1: fish in bed. But it's like shots of him like
- 4:27Speaker 1: looking down a dark alleyway and it's just like insanely
- 4:30Speaker 1: like weird jokes and ship like over it. But it's like,
- 4:33Speaker 1: you know, the whole movie is like only works because
- 4:35Speaker 1: it's this like neo noir thing, and I really hold
- 4:38Speaker 1: it in the same brain space as like a Kira.
- 4:41Speaker 1: It's like, oh yeah, it's like you're the first people
- 4:43Speaker 1: who did like dystopian future thing. So it's cool. It's
- 4:47Speaker 1: I don't know, I like it a lot. It's maybe
- 4:49Speaker 1: like a once a year kind of watch watching about Yeah.
- 4:53Speaker 1: I watched a lot of movies though, So that mean
- 4:55Speaker 1: that's like, you know, what do you do? What do
- 4:58Speaker 1: you do for a living? Make fun of bad Jamie?
- 5:02Speaker 1: When did you foresee it? This morning? Jesus Christ, I
- 5:07Speaker 1: got home perfect time I lost Here's here's a dystopian
- 5:13Speaker 1: novel in itself. I got home, I lost my key.
- 5:16Speaker 1: My roommate had to let me in. I got I
- 5:21Speaker 1: got into the shower, are slowly disappearing. It turned out
- 5:26Speaker 1: I haven't had a shower curtain in months. Where's the
- 5:29Speaker 1: shower curtain? So what I do is I place my
- 5:33Speaker 1: laptop on my sink so I can half watch a
- 5:36Speaker 1: movie while also showering for the whole shower. I thought
- 5:41Speaker 1: Harrison Ford was Liam Neeson, and then what he was doing,
- 5:50Speaker 1: I think that Harrison Ford. Okay, I would meet the
- 5:52Speaker 1: argument Harrison Ford doing a bad job is about equivalent
- 5:55Speaker 1: to Liam Neson doing Liam Neeson is. I have a
- 5:59Speaker 1: very special skills to find my wife. And here's for it.
- 6:03Speaker 1: It's like my wife. If you bring back my wife,
- 6:09Speaker 1: I'm wow. I am good invoicing. Good guys hiring me more.
- 6:16Speaker 1: I'm fucking unemployed. Give him to the job, Give me
- 6:20Speaker 1: a job, Hollywood. Yes, So did you ever see it?
- 6:22Speaker 1: I have seen the movie? Yes, what shitty boyfriend made
- 6:27Speaker 1: you watch it? No? I just watched it on my
- 6:31Speaker 1: own volition. I was like, I'm a freshman in college
- 6:34Speaker 1: and I'm a film major and I got watched you. Yeah,
- 6:37Speaker 1: it's awesome. Yeah, was it? Like I have two degrees.
- 6:40Speaker 1: I have a master to be screenwriting from Boston College
- 6:43Speaker 1: is kind of a way. So that's a fun degree,
- 6:45Speaker 1: you know. That sounds like good good news of your time. Yeah,
- 6:47Speaker 1: I had a great time. Um. So yeah, I think
- 6:50Speaker 1: I saw it for the first time in college and
- 6:52Speaker 1: then I've seen it now probably four or five times
- 6:55Speaker 1: since then. So you like it? No, so many times? There?
- 7:01Speaker 1: I don't understand this. Alright, guys, hot break here? Why
- 7:07Speaker 1: why do you Why do you like this movie? What
- 7:10Speaker 1: about it is fun for you? What is fun for it? Um?
- 7:13Speaker 1: That's an interesting question. I don't know. Maybe other than
- 7:15Speaker 1: I just stylistically like that sort of thing. I like
- 7:19Speaker 1: sci fi, like weird dystopian tales about the future, and
- 7:23Speaker 1: also like I like movies that are kind of about identity,
- 7:26Speaker 1: even if it's kind of lame. That's the one thing
- 7:28Speaker 1: is like I do realize a lot of my tastes
- 7:31Speaker 1: are really like childish. It's like I still read comic
- 7:33Speaker 1: books like I'm a couple of you know, like idiot.
- 7:38Speaker 1: But I mean it's also like, can't you just like
- 7:40Speaker 1: shitty things like what's so wrong with like, you know,
- 7:44Speaker 1: like a kind of something that's exactly but the reason
- 7:48Speaker 1: So I think I liked this movie the first time
- 7:50Speaker 1: I saw it, or I think I was just influenced
- 7:52Speaker 1: by knowing that it's, you know, one of the best
- 7:54Speaker 1: sci fi movies ever made, and I was supposed to
- 7:56Speaker 1: like it. So I was confused. I was eighteen, I
- 7:58Speaker 1: didn't know any better. And then I watch it again,
- 8:00Speaker 1: I was like, wait a minute, I don't drugs, and
- 8:04Speaker 1: I just fell in this world pressure fear pressure, like
- 8:08Speaker 1: Blade Runner. We're all supposed to be doing it. If
- 8:11Speaker 1: you're sitting in a a circle of like college freshmen, they're
- 8:13Speaker 1: all passing around the DVD Blade Runner, You're like, I
- 8:15Speaker 1: guess I'll take it. That is actually extremely accurate, like
- 8:19Speaker 1: that's exactly and Booddog Stage Donnie Darko that are the
- 8:25Speaker 1: exact same, like terrible movie, but they're good, but they're bad.
- 8:29Speaker 1: It's also like, look at most movies, they're awful, they're mad.
- 8:33Speaker 1: So if anybody like even kind of went to art school,
- 8:35Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, here we go something a little bit,
- 8:37Speaker 1: A little bit. I appreciate Blade Runner for it has
- 8:41Speaker 1: great production design. I think that's one of the reasons
- 8:44Speaker 1: that it's become such an iconic movie, and I enjoy
- 8:47Speaker 1: the world building. I don't think the story is executed
- 8:50Speaker 1: very well, and I like, I don't feel anything, like
- 8:53Speaker 1: the movie does not elicit any emotions in me. I
- 8:56Speaker 1: don't care if if Deckert wins and kills all the Also,
- 9:01Speaker 1: it's interesting like the replicants were slaves, no wonder, they're
- 9:06Speaker 1: gonna fucking kill everybody, Like this guy Stock, I'm kind
- 9:10Speaker 1: of on the dick. Yeah, I mean it's like that's
- 9:15Speaker 1: just robots in general, right, like why why why are
- 9:18Speaker 1: we making robots? It's every Like Elon Musk is like, stop,
- 9:23Speaker 1: this is going to kill everyone. All scientists are like, a,
- 9:26Speaker 1: I will eventually replace us. This thing we should tell
- 9:31Speaker 1: and we can back from. Not like it's so going forward. Yeah,
- 9:34Speaker 1: we're still at the point where like we could just
- 9:36Speaker 1: stop to keep I don't know. The computers they're just
- 9:40Speaker 1: so smart. I might have hit the point of no return.
- 9:43Speaker 1: I don't know. I saw Carl last night and it
- 9:45Speaker 1: looked like a shark. Oh god, well, yeah, I guess
- 9:49Speaker 1: it's so. Do you feel like there's movies though that
- 9:52Speaker 1: talk about stuff um like yeah, consciousness or like you know,
- 10:00Speaker 1: if a soul is real or something, you know, kind
- 10:02Speaker 1: of like in that vein that isn't sci fi, Like
- 10:06Speaker 1: I feel like these are the only movies that address
- 10:08Speaker 1: deeper largely, you know, and I like sci fi like
- 10:13Speaker 1: a movie that's like a wrong comm It's like he
- 10:15Speaker 1: doesn't have a they'll kill everyone. I generally like sci
- 10:26Speaker 1: fi a lot. It's one of my favorite genres. But
- 10:29Speaker 1: this movie I like at a Cocaine. I like Gotta
- 10:32Speaker 1: Go a lot. That's probably my favorite. Way cool cool
- 10:37Speaker 1: you guys are like, come on my movie podcast. I think, um,
- 10:44Speaker 1: Like it's also like beautiful the thing with like Blade Runner.
- 10:47Speaker 1: I don't know, like you could argue it's lame, sure,
- 10:49Speaker 1: like as a lot of things I like that I
- 10:52Speaker 1: find beautiful. I'm like, well, you can also call this stupid.
- 10:56Speaker 1: But like you know, it's like the soliloquy, you know,
- 11:00Speaker 1: like the shots like more effort I feel applied than
- 11:05Speaker 1: a lot of movies, you know, but I will I
- 11:07Speaker 1: will do. It's not like a self conscious movie, and
- 11:10Speaker 1: that's always kind of nice to see where it's like
- 11:11Speaker 1: not there's no like sarcasm excercise, Like everything is very
- 11:16Speaker 1: genuinely felt, even when it's the dumbest thing I've ever seen.
- 11:20Speaker 1: They feel it, they go through all the way like
- 11:23Speaker 1: so so that's kind of like nice to see of
- 11:27Speaker 1: do you feel like, um, that relationship between the him
- 11:31Speaker 1: and the robot girl and I mean it's all very odd,
- 11:34Speaker 1: right because it's so immediate, like it's like they have
- 11:37Speaker 1: no relationship and then and then yeah, I think, and
- 11:41Speaker 1: he's like, do you love me? I love you even
- 11:43Speaker 1: though we met yesterday. I'm sure it's just like Men
- 11:50Speaker 1: and Black where Will Smith gets to take over Men
- 11:53Speaker 1: and Black on his second day on the job, just
- 11:56Speaker 1: like Okay, cool, now he's the boss. And that's just
- 12:00Speaker 1: how this movie works there, I mean exactly like Minified
- 12:04Speaker 1: and I Love Man, Like I who is Harrison for
- 12:09Speaker 1: the Blade Runner? Is he the one running with the blade?
- 12:11Speaker 1: They are the blade running, the running blades across the borders,
- 12:14Speaker 1: the running blades bunch. I was waiting for that phrase
- 12:18Speaker 1: to be running before the Blade runs, you dog. I mean,
- 12:28Speaker 1: did you ever get into that whole thing where it's like, um,
- 12:31Speaker 1: he's a robot, you know, like a root and that's
- 12:36Speaker 1: like why everything's happening kind of the way it is.
- 12:39Speaker 1: Is that why Harrison Ford is doing so much bad
- 12:42Speaker 1: acting in this movie. Kind of yeah, he was like, well,
- 12:46Speaker 1: the character is a robot. And then when they added
- 12:48Speaker 1: the voiceover, that's why he got so mad. He was like,
- 12:50Speaker 1: you're making this guy like opposite of why I signed
- 12:54Speaker 1: on board. Well, we know now support school. He smoked pot.
- 12:58Speaker 1: He's really proud of his spots. Well, at least now
- 13:02Speaker 1: we know that he can't be a replicant because he
- 13:05Speaker 1: is in this sequel that's coming out, and he's an
- 13:08Speaker 1: old man and we learned from the replicatively lived for
- 13:12Speaker 1: four years, so he so he definitely was in a robot.
- 13:15Speaker 1: But then they find out that there was more money
- 13:18Speaker 1: to be made, right, Like that's just their whole Yes,
- 13:23Speaker 1: we did say that, but it says but money, there's
- 13:27Speaker 1: an asterisk and we can make money two years from now. Well,
- 13:34Speaker 1: I like, to me, there were opportunities for like reveals
- 13:38Speaker 1: and like exciting story components that just doesn't happen this movie.
- 13:42Speaker 1: The movie is very slow moving free. Yeah. Yeah, Um,
- 13:46Speaker 1: if there was the reveal at the end that that
- 13:48Speaker 1: Harrison Ford was also a replicant, like I'd be like, wow,
- 13:52Speaker 1: I don't know, just that staying where they got the
- 13:53Speaker 1: little origami. It's like the unicorn. Yeah, he's there. It's
- 13:57Speaker 1: because it's like that was in his dream, so the
- 13:59Speaker 1: guy wouldn't have known anyway. This is literally how guys
- 14:01Speaker 1: get like so into like movies and get online, and
- 14:04Speaker 1: we're just like, they're fucking unicorn. That's how you know
- 14:08Speaker 1: he was being incepted. I didn't realize that that was
- 14:11Speaker 1: his talisman. Look at the spinning top. It kind of
- 14:15Speaker 1: wavers at the conception. That's how you know his family
- 14:18Speaker 1: is still alive. Well, you're a fucking idiot for not
- 14:22Speaker 1: knowing the thing I just found out about. It's probably
- 14:28Speaker 1: why guys like it so much, because it's such a
- 14:30Speaker 1: great movie to shame other guys, to explain to people.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Explaining things to people. It's like literally like this orgasmic
- 14:37Speaker 1: release at the back of our explaining something, well, or
- 14:45Speaker 1: even theption of explaining something. I think it's the female
- 14:48Speaker 1: equivalent of like when you like, you know, get closure,
- 14:56Speaker 1: But but one is you can just do. It's hard
- 15:00Speaker 1: to pull off. It's hard to pull off a good
- 15:02Speaker 1: explanation as a guy. Let me tell you why. Okay,
- 15:08Speaker 1: I'm internally bleeding. Hey, this movie was written by two
- 15:13Speaker 1: people who have fake sounding names, one of whom is
- 15:16Speaker 1: named Hampton Fancher Hampden Hampton Hampton literally like never seen
- 15:24Speaker 1: another Hampton, Yeah, Hampton Fancher. He co wrote it with
- 15:28Speaker 1: David wed That actually makes me feel weird do fake
- 15:33Speaker 1: ass stunding names. I'm a fake ass dude, Hey, fake
- 15:37Speaker 1: as dude, real ast button. And David Peoples that's a
- 15:44Speaker 1: fake name, David People's. And it's adapted from the Philip K.
- 15:48Speaker 1: Dick book Android's Dream of Electric Sheep. No grow Up, Hey,
- 15:55Speaker 1: I'll do the recap. Okay, lad Runner is about Okay,
- 15:59Speaker 1: we learn I'm doing a great job. So part. But
- 16:01Speaker 1: so there are these things called replicants, their robots that
- 16:05Speaker 1: these like genetic engineer dudes made to basically be slaves.
- 16:10Speaker 1: It's set in twenty nineteen, which at the time this
- 16:14Speaker 1: movie was made in two that was like, wow, so
- 16:17Speaker 1: far in the future. But now we're like, you dumities,
- 16:20Speaker 1: you've got it all wrong. It doesn't was my robot.
- 16:25Speaker 1: We got a Warren Blade under about Trump. So it
- 16:30Speaker 1: doesn't rain in Los Angeles. It's like raining in every
- 16:33Speaker 1: single scene in this movie. And I forgot that it is.
- 16:37Speaker 1: So they are these replicants, but they basically have this
- 16:40Speaker 1: like mutiny and they start murdering people. And why wouldn't
- 16:44Speaker 1: you write I would if I was enslaved, I would
- 16:47Speaker 1: also turn into a murderous robot. Call them different things
- 16:51Speaker 1: and slaves. See that's where they start getting suspicious. WAT
- 16:56Speaker 1: call them stuff like uber driver and postmates, you know,
- 17:00Speaker 1: not slaves. They're just freelancers. Yeah, they're just they're humans.
- 17:11Speaker 1: They're getting experiences people and your internship. So the replicants
- 17:20Speaker 1: are like killing everybody, and Daryl Hannah's there, Darrell Hannah,
- 17:24Speaker 1: and then the Donade Roy yeah yeah, just my two
- 17:30Speaker 1: yeah uh. And then they're these blade Runners, who are
- 17:35Speaker 1: police officers who are basically given the instructions to like
- 17:38Speaker 1: shoot to kill any replicants because they've been made illegal
- 17:42Speaker 1: on Earth. So Harrison Ford ak Deckert is one such
- 17:46Speaker 1: blade Runner and he gets tasked with finding these four
- 17:50Speaker 1: replicants who show up. They're like kill kill them, um,
- 17:54Speaker 1: just like that not an exciting movie. He's over there,
- 18:00Speaker 1: he's right next to you, dude, just touch him. He's
- 18:02Speaker 1: right there. And meanwhile he meets with this dude Terrell
- 18:07Speaker 1: from the Terrell Corporation, who invented the replicants, and he
- 18:10Speaker 1: has a replicant of his own, and her name is Rachel.
- 18:13Speaker 1: And he's like, who's this Rachel person? Is she a person? No? No, no, no, no,
- 18:20Speaker 1: no no no, we don't do that. Rachel was going,
- 18:30Speaker 1: so I got the Rachel. It's where my brain got
- 18:34Speaker 1: put into Robot's body. The haircut. But it's that. Yeah,
- 18:38Speaker 1: And Harrison Ford like talks me through for play that
- 18:42Speaker 1: he wants to say is really cute. Here's you really cute. Okay,
- 18:52Speaker 1: now see you got goodbye, you got good hbbs. Okay, okay,
- 19:00Speaker 1: put your mouth very sensitive. I actually thought my hair
- 19:06Speaker 1: is imported fresh was way better. I think you're tied,
- 19:11Speaker 1: tied for first. I'm not even gonna try mine because
- 19:14Speaker 1: it'll it'll frankly embarrass both of you. But take a
- 19:16Speaker 1: sip of up time you're literally makes you good at impression.
- 19:22Speaker 1: It makes you j farre up. Okay. So Rachel's all like, oh,
- 19:28Speaker 1: I don't know I'm I guess I'm a replicant. She didn't,
- 19:31Speaker 1: she didn't know who she was at first, and then
- 19:33Speaker 1: she finds out that she's a replicant, so she's all
- 19:35Speaker 1: she's confused, she's scared. She's crying up there. Yeah, she's
- 19:40Speaker 1: crying up there. She's lining up there, and then she's
- 19:44Speaker 1: growing up there. Meanwhile, the other the replicants, the four
- 19:48Speaker 1: who are on Earth, are trying to especially Roy and PRIs,
- 19:52Speaker 1: are trying to locate Tyrrell because he can locate hate
- 20:00Speaker 1: Lynn what wow. Anyway, Uh, they're trying to find him
- 20:06Speaker 1: because they think he's going to be able to help
- 20:07Speaker 1: them live longer, because again, they only live for four years,
- 20:10Speaker 1: and they're like at the end of their lifespan to
- 20:13Speaker 1: live forever forever. Aristole's crying right now. What a beautiful
- 20:22Speaker 1: singing voice. That's the Queen song. And it's all about
- 20:28Speaker 1: like why would you anyway? That's wait, it's about living forever,
- 20:32Speaker 1: like because he wrote it for Highlanders, like this super
- 20:37Speaker 1: emotional song about being an immortal. What a weird paycheck,
- 20:42Speaker 1: the best paycheck? So oh. And then like Rachel's learning
- 20:47Speaker 1: about like memories being implanted in her and it's a
- 20:50Speaker 1: whole thing. And then he's like falling in love with her,
- 20:53Speaker 1: and he's trying to kill the other replicants and then
- 20:55Speaker 1: he started he killed a couple of them. He kills
- 21:00Speaker 1: Zora and Priss, the protagonis of this movie shoots two
- 21:04Speaker 1: of the main It's it's kind of like carte blanche,
- 21:07Speaker 1: like you're just allowed to shoot. Yeah, the street. There
- 21:10Speaker 1: could be a crowdful of people and they're too dangerous, right,
- 21:14Speaker 1: It's it's totally very and he's total and it's totally
- 21:17Speaker 1: fine because they're not wearing a lot of clothes, so
- 21:20Speaker 1: they have a great one down sugar, Like, just I
- 21:26Speaker 1: saw the sexy chicks. Dude, stop it. Let the Prince's
- 21:29Speaker 1: death was genuinely like, come on, she was she was cool,
- 21:34Speaker 1: very hot. You know, she was slipping around sexualized. It's
- 21:39Speaker 1: like in a It's like Deny when Zena on the
- 21:43Speaker 1: top and Golden Eye kills men with her vagina. Yeah,
- 21:47Speaker 1: it was the deaths were too sexy, sexy. I got
- 21:51Speaker 1: turned on too much. I was upset. I had to
- 21:54Speaker 1: lieve the theater man. I demanded a refund music. I
- 22:00Speaker 1: wasn't betting on being corny. Excuse me, excuse me, sir,
- 22:04Speaker 1: that movie turned me on. I would like a cash refund. Uh.
- 22:13Speaker 1: And then the big climactic scene is Roy the bed,
- 22:17Speaker 1: the big bad replicant Inherson the Dutchy fight the Duchy
- 22:22Speaker 1: with the frestye kIPS Dutch that's to the left hand side.
- 22:29Speaker 1: He's so cool man, He's Ruger Howard. Have you seen
- 22:32Speaker 1: him in The Hitch the hit Shert in Hitch Hitch
- 22:37Speaker 1: is the prequel to The Hitchhert Hitchers, really scary fun
- 22:42Speaker 1: So so Reger Howard has his own AIDS Awareness organization. Amazing,
- 22:47Speaker 1: but it's funny because it's called the Rudger Howard Starfish Association.
- 22:51Speaker 1: I wonder why that is. Shouldn't he call it chocolate Starfish,
- 22:56Speaker 1: limp biscuit the benefits hesn't Why don't I because he
- 23:01Speaker 1: looks so familiar to me. But he's kind of just
- 23:03Speaker 1: like I mean, I thought he was Ed Harris for
- 23:05Speaker 1: the longest time. What I thought? He looks like Ed
- 23:11Speaker 1: Harris so racist against straight white men, so goddamn turn
- 23:18Speaker 1: on and mad right now? Alright, So the big fight
- 23:23Speaker 1: scene at the end, and rather than Harrison Ford defeating Roy,
- 23:27Speaker 1: who is like losing the battle like Deckert is like
- 23:31Speaker 1: shitty at fighting, he keeps pausing to give soliloquies. Have
- 23:36Speaker 1: you ever seen the Fires of Orion? Roy just dies
- 23:41Speaker 1: of old age. And then that is pretty funny. He
- 23:46Speaker 1: basically do it. So then Deckert goes to Rachel, his
- 23:53Speaker 1: new girlfriend who he met yesterday, and he's like, I
- 23:56Speaker 1: know that you're a replicant robot, but let's just run
- 23:59Speaker 1: away together and maybe I'm also a replicate. I don't know.
- 24:03Speaker 1: You're running off into the sunset. Why you gotta go
- 24:07Speaker 1: so complicated? I mean, like, this's just a happy, happy romance. Yeah,
- 24:15Speaker 1: a love story for the ages. If you're a bad movie,
- 24:20Speaker 1: if you're well, let's talk about the how the women
- 24:26Speaker 1: are portrayed in it. So we have three main female
- 24:29Speaker 1: characters and none of them are human. There are no
- 24:32Speaker 1: human women in this movie who have speaking roles. It
- 24:36Speaker 1: is who Yeah, I'm good. So the first one we
- 24:39Speaker 1: meet is Rachel, and she's the good replication. She's not
- 24:42Speaker 1: like the other replicants. She's nice, but she's also she's
- 24:45Speaker 1: a bit of a she's a bit of fatal replicant,
- 24:49Speaker 1: and she she's a crier. So it's like, oh, we
- 24:51Speaker 1: like her, But do I love it when women cry? Yeah,
- 24:57Speaker 1: that's a stereotype seeing a woman crying. And they were like,
- 25:01Speaker 1: cool to leave the movie theaters, do turn on. That
- 25:08Speaker 1: movie just made me crazy, horny chick was crying, I
- 25:13Speaker 1: want to have a relationship with the person on the screen.
- 25:17Speaker 1: So Rachel, she's she's a robot. But then she has
- 25:20Speaker 1: the memories of the guy who loses his eyeballs, his
- 25:22Speaker 1: needs right, Tyrell's niece, So they implant her with these memories,
- 25:26Speaker 1: so she thinks she's human. Also, so they administer these
- 25:30Speaker 1: tests to figure out if someone's a replicator because void
- 25:33Speaker 1: Komp that's the name of the test. Okay, yeah, And
- 25:37Speaker 1: it's like basically just like asking all these questions that
- 25:40Speaker 1: will see if it'll elicit some sort of emotional response
- 25:43Speaker 1: and the replicants because basically the movie sets up that
- 25:46Speaker 1: the replicans are pretty much indistinguishable from humans except that
- 25:50Speaker 1: their emotional intelligence isn't uh and they only know it
- 25:56Speaker 1: for four years. That you can just watch them keel
- 25:59Speaker 1: over in the streets. It's dying. I also, but you
- 26:05Speaker 1: almost got to give respect to the movie that, like,
- 26:08Speaker 1: it's not just like a thing he scans people with like, oh,
- 26:11Speaker 1: there they're a robot, go get him. It's like he
- 26:13Speaker 1: has to give him this personality test, has to sit
- 26:15Speaker 1: people down and do the Myers Briggs, are you introgreted
- 26:18Speaker 1: or replicate your freak. I think they're making a point
- 26:23Speaker 1: about like nuance of personality or something. You know. At
- 26:27Speaker 1: one point, will we even give a fuck? You know,
- 26:31Speaker 1: you could talk to a robot that like just replicates
- 26:33Speaker 1: you know, human empathy, and you're like, you're my name,
- 26:36Speaker 1: best friend. I think I love you. You're so there
- 26:39Speaker 1: for me, and like, you know, is it the Turing
- 26:41Speaker 1: tests that it's like, is this that's what that is? Yeah?
- 26:46Speaker 1: So did this movie invent it? No? But but even
- 26:50Speaker 1: this test, there's one where the agers really thinks, all right,
- 26:58Speaker 1: he's the guy that invented there's this point, I'm an idiot.
- 27:03Speaker 1: They ask Rachel question. They sort of asked her about
- 27:06Speaker 1: her sexuality at one point. Or She's like that was
- 27:09Speaker 1: the first of them like, oh and she's a whether
- 27:12Speaker 1: she's human or not. They're like, whoa, who do you
- 27:15Speaker 1: fucking like? We're just curious immediately what you're doing with that.
- 27:22Speaker 1: It doesn't matter of the ass is sentient or not. Sentient,
- 27:26Speaker 1: asks gentlemen, we've invented it sentient as for years the
- 27:30Speaker 1: woman have plagued men. But imagine a sentient something that
- 27:36Speaker 1: has feelings that a man needs, and it's a Giant Us.
- 27:41Speaker 1: This is my favorite improv group that I go and see. Right,
- 27:47Speaker 1: So yeah, that that scene is like is this testing
- 27:49Speaker 1: whether I'm a replicat or a lesbians? Yeah, that's exactly cornyline. Yes,
- 27:57Speaker 1: why am I lesbian? It's such a like also a
- 27:59Speaker 1: throwback to like a noir line, like they used to
- 28:02Speaker 1: always do that, like you got the hot yeah, like
- 28:06Speaker 1: you have the things she should be like leaning in
- 28:08Speaker 1: and like pushing her cleavage together, like what are you suggesting? Right?
- 28:12Speaker 1: But it's obnoxious. Well, the thing with that scene is
- 28:16Speaker 1: that you discover that it took like he had to
- 28:18Speaker 1: administer the test for much longer and ask him any
- 28:21Speaker 1: more questions than with the other replicants. So there's something
- 28:24Speaker 1: about her that makes her special and maybe that's why
- 28:27Speaker 1: he loves her. She's calling like the other replicants respect
- 28:31Speaker 1: a man's love. Absolutely cannot respect a man's love period
- 28:40Speaker 1: in the streets. It's just a goofy your love, And
- 28:43Speaker 1: it really is. Yeah, you know how goofy men's love is.
- 28:46Speaker 1: It's like, sit down, I wrote a song and you
- 28:49Speaker 1: have to like that level of like creepy. It's creepy.
- 28:53Speaker 1: It's of a woman's love. And if he shows you
- 28:58Speaker 1: one shade of that of that fifty shades upright, I'm
- 29:02Speaker 1: gonna need more. There's three women almost speak because I
- 29:09Speaker 1: almost don't even think about the replicants. To me, they're
- 29:12Speaker 1: just like an obstacle. Well I think that that's intentionally done. Yeah,
- 29:16Speaker 1: I mean, Rachel's the only female character that we're supposed
- 29:18Speaker 1: to feel anything for, right, because Zora is the like
- 29:22Speaker 1: snake lady. She's an exotic dancer of some sort of thing.
- 29:27Speaker 1: She has one good line where she's a robot who
- 29:30Speaker 1: could be a construction worker and just like build buildings
- 29:33Speaker 1: with her bare hands. But she's like, I don't know
- 29:35Speaker 1: what to do. Chip she's also a robot, probably has
- 29:40Speaker 1: like insane like brain capacity, and she's still like, you
- 29:43Speaker 1: know what she could? And I think she was empowered
- 29:47Speaker 1: by Amber Rose. Yeah, I mean, let's learned that somehow
- 29:51Speaker 1: being a stripper is the most feminist thing you could do.
- 29:53Speaker 1: It's very empowering. Everyone's He's like, is that a real snake?
- 29:58Speaker 1: And she's like, no, I get aboard on a second,
- 30:02Speaker 1: Actually that snake he looks like a girl's sake. It's
- 30:07Speaker 1: blade runners. When really deckerd finds that like scale, Yeah,
- 30:11Speaker 1: it's it's like the worst detective work. He's like, here
- 30:14Speaker 1: it is the clue, right here where it should be.
- 30:18Speaker 1: Like he finds a creepy believe it took me forever
- 30:21Speaker 1: to piece together because then he goes and like he
- 30:24Speaker 1: goes to the snake man. He's like, who you're selling
- 30:27Speaker 1: your snakes too? And I was like, what's happening? And
- 30:29Speaker 1: then detective talks to that other dude in the bar
- 30:31Speaker 1: and sny no matter what you're Harrison's talking. He sounds
- 30:43Speaker 1: very old. He is great. He's had a dad bod
- 30:46Speaker 1: since he was fifteen years old. He's had a Jones
- 30:49Speaker 1: basically had dad. For sure. He's a crummy actor. He's
- 30:52Speaker 1: a crumby act when he doesn't have any When he good,
- 30:58Speaker 1: he's like, when is he not himself? You know, well
- 31:01Speaker 1: that's well, sure, he doesn't have a lot of like versatility,
- 31:04Speaker 1: so it doesn't have range. But you're like, oh, time
- 31:14Speaker 1: into the role. Sure, but Alfred Milena raised the loss
- 31:17Speaker 1: Alfama of the Da Vinci Code two thousand six You
- 31:22Speaker 1: try to throw him a whip in two thousand sixteen.
- 31:25Speaker 1: He won't accept it. No, He's like, I've done it
- 31:28Speaker 1: what's next. People give him robot tentacles and he's like,
- 31:32Speaker 1: did you see Spiderman two two thou before? I'm the
- 31:37Speaker 1: rain Man of Alfred Milena. A point I would like
- 31:42Speaker 1: to make is that we see again and again in
- 31:45Speaker 1: movies that there's often a scene where a man has
- 31:48Speaker 1: to save a woman. A woman is in peril. That
- 31:57Speaker 1: was literally standing in a platum, a very intense moment
- 32:01Speaker 1: for everyone. We're not going to be able to release
- 32:04Speaker 1: this episode because you have something. Oh my god, because
- 32:07Speaker 1: you're a guest, you're singing so many copyrights. No, but
- 32:14Speaker 1: it's fine because I'm doing it my bad version, and
- 32:17Speaker 1: I'm doing it under like eight seconds. I know the law.
- 32:24Speaker 1: I know the law. So women are often women be
- 32:30Speaker 1: in peril in movies. They need they need saving, and
- 32:36Speaker 1: is it a very annoying I get saved at least
- 32:40Speaker 1: once a day, So it's a very annoying trump that
- 32:43Speaker 1: I hate. We don't see it in this movie. Instead,
- 32:46Speaker 1: we see a woman saving a man or a woman robot.
- 32:50Speaker 1: That's true because there are no women humans. But it's
- 32:55Speaker 1: it's the scene where um Leon, the fourth replicant, who
- 32:59Speaker 1: we haven't met yet, he's like fighting with Deckert and
- 33:01Speaker 1: about to kill him by pushing his thumbs into his
- 33:04Speaker 1: eyes or that's the how you kill people if you're
- 33:08Speaker 1: a robot. I liked that part. And he's about so
- 33:11Speaker 1: he's about too like eyes motion him and then he
- 33:14Speaker 1: gets but then he gets shot in the head and
- 33:22Speaker 1: reveal that it's Rachel Pick So Rachel, Rachel's saves Rachel
- 33:29Speaker 1: saves Deckert from getting dead. I like that this movie
- 33:33Speaker 1: subverts that very annoying trope. But there's so much that
- 33:36Speaker 1: it does. Like they're sure every female character in this
- 33:39Speaker 1: movie either exists to be a foil to a man
- 33:43Speaker 1: or to write like Rachel's whole reason for existing in
- 33:46Speaker 1: the movie is to facilitate the growth of Harrison Ford's character,
- 33:50Speaker 1: Like that's why she's there, to change his attitude. I'm
- 33:52Speaker 1: out my room wants and maybe they're not so mad,
- 33:54Speaker 1: and like that's well. The thing is, he doesn't even
- 33:57Speaker 1: seem to hate replicants that much. He doesn't even know
- 34:00Speaker 1: anything about them. In the first scene when the dudes
- 34:02Speaker 1: explaining to them that, He's like, yeah, they only lived
- 34:03Speaker 1: for four years. You bet at your job. But he
- 34:05Speaker 1: didn't like one of them. Whatever, don't blade dogades just
- 34:15Speaker 1: like I'm a roll by, but I like Chris was
- 34:19Speaker 1: my favorite. I mean, little dar Daryl Hannah got she
- 34:24Speaker 1: has probably the most agency, or she's she's active. She
- 34:28Speaker 1: tricks the dude Sebastian into like, oh man, that guy
- 34:31Speaker 1: though with his weird like I've and you're like what
- 34:37Speaker 1: he is, like he has a disease where he ate
- 34:39Speaker 1: his like aging is accelerated. Dude is so awesome. I've,
- 34:43Speaker 1: but I look like shit, I'm a paynut farmer. But
- 34:47Speaker 1: also about I make friends, I would I would do
- 34:51Speaker 1: that if I was the guy who could do that
- 34:53Speaker 1: and make those easy. If there's anyone in the movie
- 34:56Speaker 1: that I could realistically see myself with it him. I
- 34:59Speaker 1: don't like it when they're full adult size, but when
- 35:01Speaker 1: they're tiny and they're like cartoon characters, that's pretty great.
- 35:06Speaker 1: Baby clowns. Check out clown. All they have to do
- 35:09Speaker 1: is like get bonked on the head and fall down
- 35:11Speaker 1: every now and then. It's not like, you know, it's
- 35:13Speaker 1: not like grueling work. But prison I mean she, I mean,
- 35:18Speaker 1: you can see both ways. I like she has the
- 35:19Speaker 1: most agency, but you could also be like, oh, they
- 35:21Speaker 1: made a little cunning witch female character. She's another of them.
- 35:27Speaker 1: They tell I'd like to pay for two tickets because
- 35:31Speaker 1: I love magic, Mr Pizza, cunning witches. So those are
- 35:39Speaker 1: the three prisons, Zora and Rachel. Rachel, what kind of
- 35:43Speaker 1: a character would you have liked to have seen put
- 35:46Speaker 1: in this? I mean, any human women? Why couldn't one
- 35:49Speaker 1: of the other Blade runners be a woman? His girlfriend?
- 35:55Speaker 1: Should it? But like, how removed should it be from him?
- 35:58Speaker 1: Like partner or love interest? I mean it didn't. You
- 36:03Speaker 1: don't need to necessarily add someone new to the story.
- 36:06Speaker 1: That wouldn't make sense for the story. But just like
- 36:08Speaker 1: he could have been his police chief decord, I need
- 36:11Speaker 1: fucking results. It could have been put on your blades?
- 36:16Speaker 1: Where are your blades? Where are your blades? She's as
- 36:19Speaker 1: mad about things he forgot to bring running. What's your problem? Yeah?
- 36:27Speaker 1: And we need a naggy woman in here. Oh there's
- 36:30Speaker 1: um the woman in the She like looks at the
- 36:34Speaker 1: snake scale. He thinks it's like a fit and she's like,
- 36:37Speaker 1: oh no, so there's a there's another woman with a
- 36:39Speaker 1: speaking roll I forgot about. But she's like, secretly, I
- 36:43Speaker 1: love you ded like Rachel, and forgive me if I
- 36:49Speaker 1: missed a part when I was taking a shower and
- 36:52Speaker 1: really not watching the movie at all, but it was on.
- 36:58Speaker 1: But there's like Rachel Harris a Ford and Rachel they
- 37:01Speaker 1: both sort of have like these identity issues, right, but
- 37:04Speaker 1: like Rachel, what's the resolution there where she's like, oh,
- 37:07Speaker 1: I guess I have the memories of the eyeball guy's
- 37:09Speaker 1: niece and I'm sad about that. But then there's no like,
- 37:13Speaker 1: where does that arc? You're going to go on the road? Right,
- 37:16Speaker 1: they're they're on the lamb now now they know the
- 37:18Speaker 1: robots and they're like to figure like figure it out.
- 37:21Speaker 1: I don't know. Like that that was the end of
- 37:23Speaker 1: where her character ended. Was like, oh, there was no
- 37:26Speaker 1: like she was truly they were like here's a shell
- 37:29Speaker 1: of a woman, forced her to say whatever you want. Okay,
- 37:33Speaker 1: that scene, let's talk about let's talk about that scene
- 37:35Speaker 1: was like so the scene where she's back at his apartment,
- 37:39Speaker 1: she's playing piano. He goes into kiss her very twilight.
- 37:44Speaker 1: He's all wounding over piano playing. He moves into kiss her,
- 37:52Speaker 1: she pulls away, gets up, tries to leave. He slams
- 37:57Speaker 1: the door shut. He's like shooting robots for you. So
- 38:06Speaker 1: we got pretty cool devil's advocating right now, So he
- 38:09Speaker 1: slams the door shut so that she can't leave. He
- 38:12Speaker 1: violently pushes her against the wall and then like corners
- 38:16Speaker 1: her puts his arms up sore, she can't move, she's crying.
- 38:20Speaker 1: He's like, kiss me, you want me to kiss you?
- 38:24Speaker 1: Kiss me? And she's like, she was like, you want me?
- 38:29Speaker 1: I want you to say it again. It is I
- 38:32Speaker 1: think meant to be I think it's meant to be
- 38:37Speaker 1: hot hot, but it is so ra That movie just
- 38:41Speaker 1: turned me on. He just kissed that woman who loves him.
- 38:46Speaker 1: She does it, well, that's okay. And then the three
- 38:49Speaker 1: female characters speaking to the fact that there's no human women.
- 38:52Speaker 1: All three female characters were invented by men. I was like, oh,
- 38:57Speaker 1: how hard is this movie thinking about itself? Answer, I
- 38:59Speaker 1: don't think very hard. But there was like a ten
- 39:02Speaker 1: minutes span where I'm like, maybe what really Scott's trying
- 39:05Speaker 1: to say is that men created these women and that's
- 39:09Speaker 1: why the female characters are so horrible, because it's just
- 39:11Speaker 1: the man's perception of what a woman should be doing.
- 39:14Speaker 1: And then I was like, oh, no, it's just bad.
- 39:16Speaker 1: This is just how you're giving it too much credit.
- 39:19Speaker 1: It's just bad, badly written female characters. But the the
- 39:23Speaker 1: escape and how because I always try to like car
- 39:25Speaker 1: ready for this podcast, I'm like, how would an asshole
- 39:27Speaker 1: explain away the point I'm about to make? And I
- 39:30Speaker 1: think it would be that's like, well, the women were
- 39:33Speaker 1: created by men, and so the men don't understand women,
- 39:36Speaker 1: so they just made women that made gents to them,
- 39:38Speaker 1: So women that wanted to get naked and sucked them, right,
- 39:42Speaker 1: So that was the Devil's advocate to degree there. Yeah,
- 39:48Speaker 1: I don't didn't even know that. I don't think they
- 39:50Speaker 1: were thinking very hard about that. I think, well, my
- 39:52Speaker 1: my thing is honestly, I just think, you know, movies
- 39:55Speaker 1: really didn't think about this till about ten years ago.
- 39:58Speaker 1: Hampton Fancher was not thinking about No, I don't know.
- 40:02Speaker 1: I mean like it was and it wasn't, but like
- 40:05Speaker 1: i'd say this, yeah, it just hasn't been applied. Philip K.
- 40:08Speaker 1: Dick was certainly not thinking about finding that book. It
- 40:12Speaker 1: was probably like nineteen sixty. It had to be in
- 40:14Speaker 1: the sixty. Yeah, it's badly made, Like you know, it's like, yeah,
- 40:22Speaker 1: you're totally right. There's a glaring problems that it's like,
- 40:26Speaker 1: now if you couldn't get away with it right. Well,
- 40:28Speaker 1: I'm interested to see if in the in this sequel
- 40:30Speaker 1: that's coming, if they're more interesting or developed female characters,
- 40:36Speaker 1: because like the love story that's set up between Harrison
- 40:39Speaker 1: Ford's character and Rachel is like, why do they like
- 40:43Speaker 1: each other? This happens all the time in movies where
- 40:45Speaker 1: it's like we're not sure what They're near each other
- 40:48Speaker 1: and they're both attractive, so naturally they're gonna want to
- 40:50Speaker 1: fucking be together forever. But like, so she'll do whatever
- 40:54Speaker 1: he tells. It's so like that whole thing. I was like, Oh,
- 40:58Speaker 1: so that's why he likes her, because he's like, hey,
- 41:00Speaker 1: say this thing to me that makes me feel cute.
- 41:04Speaker 1: I'm feeling about my hips, makes me feel cute. He's
- 41:14Speaker 1: hervy man curve. I got dumb thick butt. Though. One
- 41:20Speaker 1: thing I do like about the movie is that you
- 41:22Speaker 1: do see Duckard's as get kicked by two women because
- 41:26Speaker 1: Zora and Priss both beat the ship up. That's like
- 41:30Speaker 1: the most progressive thing you could do with a woman.
- 41:35Speaker 1: A man doesn't immediately naked ultra feminist in a movie.
- 41:40Speaker 1: Cain and I spent our nights and he's just hunting.
- 41:43Speaker 1: The press. Fight scene was really weird because she basically
- 41:46Speaker 1: like gets him in a headlock with her vagina. What
- 41:50Speaker 1: a weird way to fight, guys. Never kickled someone's fucking
- 41:55Speaker 1: head up, pure decapitation World combat style. And then Golden
- 42:03Speaker 1: ailes she puts her fingers up his nose. That's a
- 42:06Speaker 1: great way I hurt someone your nose is like stone
- 42:11Speaker 1: and humiliate them at the same time. The only thing
- 42:14Speaker 1: I learned about self defense I learned from Miscongeniality two thousand.
- 42:17Speaker 1: What'd you learn? Uh, there's a part where Sandra Bullock
- 42:21Speaker 1: says you have to remember to sing solar plexus, instep
- 42:25Speaker 1: knows groin and those are the places that you hit
- 42:28Speaker 1: people and then and then they stay away from you. Anyways,
- 42:31Speaker 1: was that a song? It's something whole? And then Benjamin
- 42:35Speaker 1: Bratt breaks out into song. And that's a great movie.
- 42:39Speaker 1: That is that movie good? Better than Runner? Hey, mis
- 42:48Speaker 1: Congeniality too? Maybe not well? Speaking of other movies and
- 42:52Speaker 1: other cop movies specifically, I wanted to make the point
- 42:55Speaker 1: that so many cop movies revolve around a male protagonist
- 43:00Speaker 1: in the cop or like two men cop buddies there
- 43:03Speaker 1: are who are sensitive about their body. It's so rare
- 43:08Speaker 1: that you see a female cop protagonist in a movie.
- 43:13Speaker 1: I made a list of man cop movies. Uh, get
- 43:17Speaker 1: rid of every Diehard That Departed Seven, Beverly Hills, Cup,
- 43:22Speaker 1: Lethal Weapons, Serpico, Chinatown, Dirty Harry l A, Confidential, The
- 43:25Speaker 1: French Connection, Bad Boys, forty eight Hours, Point break Y, Intouchables,
- 43:28Speaker 1: Training Day, super Troopers, Robotcot, Men in Black, Speed, Mad
- 43:31Speaker 1: Max Hots twenty one, Joshiss Kiss, Bang Bang, many many,
- 43:35Speaker 1: many more. A few exceptions Fargo, Silence of the Lambs. Wow,
- 43:47Speaker 1: almost all good movie. That Yeah, that is Yeah. Another exception,
- 43:52Speaker 1: The Heat. It was SMI great female cop. That's a
- 44:02Speaker 1: cop movie. She's FBI. Honestly, Miss g L is an
- 44:06Speaker 1: amazing movie. Michael Caine shines in that movie. Yeah, he's great.
- 44:10Speaker 1: Where's your Michael Caine? Impressure? I was like, Michael A
- 44:20Speaker 1: Michael Kaine, I've heard better. Yeah, it wasn't in me.
- 44:26Speaker 1: I didn't really want it. But anyway, so most cop
- 44:28Speaker 1: movies are male dominated. There's anything to do with the
- 44:32Speaker 1: cops and mostly being men. It could be, but our
- 44:35Speaker 1: cops mostly men because women don't see representation in media
- 44:39Speaker 1: of women being cops, so they're like, oh, it would
- 44:41Speaker 1: be weird for me to try to be a cop,
- 44:43Speaker 1: because I guess women can't be cops because I've seen
- 44:45Speaker 1: all these movies where it's all men being stemic. I
- 44:50Speaker 1: just finished season three of far Ago and didn't make
- 44:53Speaker 1: you want to fight crime. It maybe want to move
- 44:55Speaker 1: to the Midwest become a cop and she become troubled
- 44:59Speaker 1: with the state of is just as possible to require.
- 45:02Speaker 1: Actually that's the thing, is like every cop movie I see,
- 45:07Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I want to fight, cry like it
- 45:10Speaker 1: does totally about me. So like when you saw a Fargo,
- 45:13Speaker 1: did it make you go like fu, Yeah, I want
- 45:15Speaker 1: to fucking I've never want to find a body. I
- 45:19Speaker 1: want to find murders. I don't think so. Although when
- 45:23Speaker 1: I did see Harriet the Spy as a young kid,
- 45:26Speaker 1: wanted to be a spy school women because it's because
- 45:34Speaker 1: that's kind of happening with the new Jennifer Lawrence movie
- 45:37Speaker 1: that's coming out, Which One, Which One. It's like a
- 45:40Speaker 1: spy movie, She's a spy. It's it's only been teased
- 45:43Speaker 1: kind of what it is. And then immediately people were like,
- 45:46Speaker 1: why are women always betrayed his spies. Is it because
- 45:50Speaker 1: we're sneaky? And I was like, I don't know. That
- 45:53Speaker 1: sounds not fair on many levels. Did Harry the Spies
- 45:58Speaker 1: a movie? So yeah, Nancy Drew, Oh yeah, I wanted
- 46:02Speaker 1: to be Nancy Drew real mad, not Emma Roberts. Nancy Drew, hot,
- 46:07Speaker 1: big titty, fifteen year old, illustrated nanty Cher. Then she
- 46:11Speaker 1: had asked, Nancy, my mom made me read those books.
- 46:15Speaker 1: She was like, you Drew, Well, there's those books are
- 46:19Speaker 1: so because Nancy has ned Ned Nickerson, her boyfriend who's
- 46:23Speaker 1: a hottie and stays out of the way, which is great.
- 46:29Speaker 1: Ned Nickerson is hot and stays out of the way.
- 46:31Speaker 1: It's like, okay, that's what we're going to go for
- 46:33Speaker 1: the future. And then she has her two cousins or no,
- 46:36Speaker 1: her two friends who are cousins, one of whom is
- 46:39Speaker 1: not the star of the book because she's five pounds overweight.
- 46:42Speaker 1: They say that in every book. They say, folks was
- 46:45Speaker 1: about five pounds. She needed to be five, always five.
- 46:48Speaker 1: That is remarkably always fine. And then and then there's George,
- 46:54Speaker 1: who is who's a lesbian, but they say she's a
- 46:58Speaker 1: bit of a tomboy. It's someone who's five pounds too
- 47:01Speaker 1: heavy and a bit of a tomboy. And that's why
- 47:04Speaker 1: she's a perfect She's a strawberry bond and she's got
- 47:08Speaker 1: a beta cock. Wait for her to start solving crimes. Yeah, no,
- 47:16Speaker 1: I know she Well she does it in a cute
- 47:17Speaker 1: little skirt and she has a rowboat. It's the whole thing. Um,
- 47:20Speaker 1: Does anyone have anything else they want to say about
- 47:22Speaker 1: Blade Runner? And it's portrayal of women? Boo. Let's talk
- 47:29Speaker 1: about whether or not the movie passes the Bechtel test No,
- 47:36Speaker 1: the Betel testimeter. This is our avoid comptest. If you
- 47:44Speaker 1: were to sit really Scott down and ask him kind
- 47:46Speaker 1: of avoid comp on this, what would you ask him?
- 47:49Speaker 1: That is a quick That is a quick thing I
- 47:50Speaker 1: want to bring up is this is a really Scott movie.
- 47:53Speaker 1: And really Scott is all over the board like truly
- 47:56Speaker 1: a to z and how he treats women in his movies,
- 47:59Speaker 1: because he fucking directed Felmont and Louise. He directed Alien,
- 48:02Speaker 1: like two movies we've done in this podcast that are like,
- 48:06Speaker 1: I mean, Selman Louise fared very well. We gave it
- 48:09Speaker 1: a five nipple rating. Across the board. We did. We
- 48:12Speaker 1: did Alien a problem that it's like women are always
- 48:15Speaker 1: portrayed as like indestructible badasses also you know, I mean
- 48:20Speaker 1: in destructible, but they also died. I was we're thinking
- 48:25Speaker 1: about Ripley. I love aliens and aliens and stuff because
- 48:30Speaker 1: he has he has Alien Thulmt and Louise g I Jane.
- 48:32Speaker 1: Whoa g I Jane? G I Jane. I've never actually
- 48:35Speaker 1: seen that. It passes the bag. It's dumb, but but
- 48:39Speaker 1: it is supposed to be like, oh, you know whatever,
- 48:41Speaker 1: it's inherently done because they call her g I Jane
- 48:44Speaker 1: and she's joining the Navy Seals General Infantry. But then,
- 48:51Speaker 1: but then he's also directed a slew of movies Blade Renner, Gladiator,
- 48:56Speaker 1: Kingdom of Heaven, Magic Men, So he's all over the
- 48:59Speaker 1: board in terms of how well I would argue that
- 49:02Speaker 1: the writer of a movie is gonna have more say
- 49:05Speaker 1: and how a woman is portrayed than the director. I mean,
- 49:08Speaker 1: the director contract different choices, but it's ultimately the way
- 49:11Speaker 1: a woman is portrayed, at least in terms of like
- 49:14Speaker 1: how active of a role she plays in the story
- 49:16Speaker 1: and things like that is going to be up to
- 49:17Speaker 1: the writer. So I mean, you know, the director might
- 49:21Speaker 1: make decisions on like how you frame it and like
- 49:23Speaker 1: how like how little clothing she has on, and like
- 49:27Speaker 1: do we do like lingering shots of like mail gaze
- 49:30Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But I think it's so weird that,
- 49:32Speaker 1: you know, three years previous to this, he makes Alien
- 49:35Speaker 1: and then he's like, well, we've got to have a
- 49:36Speaker 1: twenty year old Daryl Hannah flailing with her tits out
- 49:40Speaker 1: for good thirty seconds before we allow the protagonists to shoot,
- 49:45Speaker 1: and the baby maker doesn't like, oh yeah, So it's
- 49:51Speaker 1: just I think that the real I'm telling you that
- 49:56Speaker 1: that's probably thought about. I'm telling you, are you telling
- 50:01Speaker 1: me that? What you tell us? Why? I love later
- 50:04Speaker 1: to explain it to people. I know, I'm telling you.
- 50:06Speaker 1: I think we can really like so we can really
- 50:10Speaker 1: blame Hampton Fancher, Yeah for best Actually you're in the
- 50:19Speaker 1: hot seat. But but it's just weird to think about,
- 50:21Speaker 1: like Ridley Scott's what's that word with too many bells?
- 50:26Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, good, good point. Yeah. Well, I think
- 50:33Speaker 1: he's like one of those super like visual directors as
- 50:36Speaker 1: A've been thinking a bit about like directors recently, where
- 50:39Speaker 1: I'm like well, some seems like super hands on with
- 50:41Speaker 1: actors or like, you know, that's where they started because
- 50:45Speaker 1: that's their background. He just seems like art school visual guys.
- 50:48Speaker 1: So I always think he's it's almost like he's not
- 50:50Speaker 1: trying to empower Ripley or or or do you know
- 50:53Speaker 1: something with Elma and Luis. He's just like, this is
- 50:56Speaker 1: a beautiful story. Here is how is his shot? And
- 50:58Speaker 1: I am removed back. I want you to see this,
- 51:01Speaker 1: you know, this painting sort of thing. And he's not
- 51:03Speaker 1: thinking about the relationships so much. I guess that would
- 51:06Speaker 1: enable such a wide kinds of different stories that he tells. Yeah,
- 51:10Speaker 1: because it's like if he had some sort of like
- 51:11Speaker 1: specific agenda the way some directors too, I feel like
- 51:14Speaker 1: you wouldn't see that many different right, Yeah, because he's
- 51:18Speaker 1: in an a tour, but not necessarily like here I
- 51:22Speaker 1: am on the women's movement of My Girlfriend's seven. He's
- 51:30Speaker 1: forty nine. Okay, that's not great, that's too much. He
- 51:36Speaker 1: wears dumb hats and I beat him in a fight
- 51:39Speaker 1: and make okay, So back to the beach. Tol t
- 51:50Speaker 1: doesn't it doesn't, It doesn't pass, doesn't pass. There are
- 51:54Speaker 1: no scenes in the movie where they're even two women
- 51:57Speaker 1: in the same scene who are like how have aking rolls?
- 52:00Speaker 1: Like Zora and Press are never in the same scene,
- 52:04Speaker 1: which is weird because like they all those four knew
- 52:06Speaker 1: each other, Leon, Roy and Zora, and they regularly come
- 52:10Speaker 1: into contact with the male characters, right, But the two
- 52:12Speaker 1: women don't ever talk to each other, and then Rachel
- 52:15Speaker 1: never talks to either of them. I wonder if in
- 52:18Speaker 1: any of the seven fucking versions of this movie two
- 52:21Speaker 1: women talk to each other. Guarantee they don't know, right,
- 52:23Speaker 1: that's actually Deckerds like narration is like I imagine them
- 52:27Speaker 1: having conversations, they're probably boring, and we won't show them
- 52:32Speaker 1: probably talking about they could have had a conversation between
- 52:36Speaker 1: the two robots just about being yeah, like the robot experience.
- 52:40Speaker 1: It's kind of like the whole point of the movie basically,
- 52:42Speaker 1: like why can't they have a discussion about like their
- 52:44Speaker 1: loss of soul or you know, the solution of personality
- 52:49Speaker 1: sort of thing. I mean that would have been interesting,
- 52:51Speaker 1: like oh no, I don't want to die in four years?
- 52:54Speaker 1: Did they get their period? Do you think you got
- 52:56Speaker 1: a program in a period? Why would you make a
- 52:59Speaker 1: real going to control, the controlled our body. Um. But yeah,
- 53:10Speaker 1: there are a bunch of different versions of this movie.
- 53:12Speaker 1: I watched, um, the final cut one most recently. I
- 53:15Speaker 1: don't know how different any of the other one. I
- 53:17Speaker 1: watched the easiest one to steal over the World War one.
- 53:19Speaker 1: I don't know whatever the first one was. So there's
- 53:21Speaker 1: also the director's cut, the US theatrical cut, the international cut,
- 53:25Speaker 1: and something called the work prints the Night. They're all
- 53:28Speaker 1: the same except for the one with narration. Okay, I
- 53:31Speaker 1: would like that's just about making money, Like they just
- 53:34Speaker 1: re release it every now, and they were like the
- 53:35Speaker 1: editors final It's like we cut out one season. It's
- 53:41Speaker 1: a movie like, okay, good to know. So yeah, it
- 53:47Speaker 1: doesn't pass the back to test, no surprise there. Um.
- 53:51Speaker 1: And the thing is it also sucks as a movie.
- 53:55Speaker 1: It's well with that. Let's rate it, but we'll rate
- 53:59Speaker 1: it on our our nipple scale based on its portrayal
- 54:02Speaker 1: of women. So not how much you like the movie,
- 54:04Speaker 1: we're rating it on how it portrays women. Uh. And
- 54:07Speaker 1: it's a scale of zero to five nipples, and then
- 54:10Speaker 1: you can attribute those nipples to anyone you want, or
- 54:12Speaker 1: describe them or anything like describing them two inverted nipples
- 54:18Speaker 1: because that's the definition of it's a woman reverse Like
- 54:23Speaker 1: they didn't understand it, and that's what happened with this movie.
- 54:27Speaker 1: So that's why I go for that artistic rating molmost
- 54:31Speaker 1: silence very rating. Um okay, yeah, sorry, I forgot to
- 54:38Speaker 1: be silent for the moment of silence. I would give it, Yeah,
- 54:42Speaker 1: like a one and a half or two nipples. Um,
- 54:47Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with a one and a half. The
- 54:49Speaker 1: women you do see on screen, none of them are human.
- 54:54Speaker 1: Most of them are bad, and it's fine to have
- 54:56Speaker 1: a female villain, but they're all so poorly developed that
- 55:00Speaker 1: we don't really know anything about what their feelings are,
- 55:04Speaker 1: what their perspective is, or anything like that. We see
- 55:07Speaker 1: one's nipples for pretty much no reason. Um, excuse me,
- 55:11Speaker 1: I got horny, and then and then a pan bag
- 55:15Speaker 1: like cut two from nipples back to snake. It's like, wait,
- 55:19Speaker 1: what is they are playing here? Oh? I get its
- 55:22Speaker 1: snake someone he's got a garbage bag full of popcorn?
- 55:34Speaker 1: Doc mad. Yeah that The love story between Ducker and
- 55:41Speaker 1: Rachel like makes no sense. We're not sure why they
- 55:45Speaker 1: like each other. Uh yeah, generally, just the female characters
- 55:50Speaker 1: exists to what you were saying, either either like be
- 55:52Speaker 1: a foil to the men to specifically Deckert, or be
- 55:56Speaker 1: a random love interest. That doesn't make any sense. So yeah,
- 56:00Speaker 1: one and a half nipples. The nipples belong to the
- 56:03Speaker 1: owl in the movie. And I know that, Okay, So
- 56:06Speaker 1: I know they nipples to birds have Caitlin so generally,
- 56:09Speaker 1: not how many nipples everyone has. Generally birds don't have
- 56:12Speaker 1: any nipples. However, I think I think we can all
- 56:15Speaker 1: agree like cock bar cock birdies. I think we can
- 56:24Speaker 1: all agree that owls are hot cats, especially I've always
- 56:30Speaker 1: graduated like dude, smart education. No owls are sky cats.
- 56:36Speaker 1: Their cats with wings, and cats do have eight nipples.
- 56:39Speaker 1: This has been cat facts with Caitlin. But so we
- 56:43Speaker 1: see the owl at the Replican owl, and so the
- 56:45Speaker 1: nipples belong to to that. I give this movie one nipple.
- 56:56Speaker 1: It sucks. I don't like it. If you got a
- 56:59Speaker 1: problem with it, hey bring your hardcover bill of k
- 57:03Speaker 1: Dick Anthology and beat me to death over the head.
- 57:05Speaker 1: I don't care. This movie blows there. There's all the
- 57:09Speaker 1: characters were like, just there's nothing, there's nothing there. This
- 57:13Speaker 1: movie made me had to take a shower midway through,
- 57:16Speaker 1: I thought this movie had liam. It was so bad.
- 57:21Speaker 1: I clearly watched it of my patients in the morning.
- 57:26Speaker 1: I couldn't do I could not do it. I couldn't
- 57:28Speaker 1: like this movie. Got it? I don't. I didn't. Who'll
- 57:36Speaker 1: throw another nibble to the owl? Sure? Okay, that's gonna
- 57:39Speaker 1: full set? Yeah and it's um well, thank you so
- 57:44Speaker 1: much Hampton for being here. Yeah, Hampton, Yeah, Hampton Yunt.
