• 0:10
  And I think we should do our best Jennifer Coolidge
• 0:12
  impersonation because she says I'm taking the she says I'm
• 0:23
  taking the dog dumbass. Hello and welcome to the Art of
• 0:45
  Costume blog cast. I'm Elizabeth Joy Glass.
• 0:47
  And I'm Spencer Williams. Hey, Elizabeth.
• 0:50
  Hey, it's been forever. I know I missed you.
• 0:54
  I feel I was telling someone other day.
• 0:56
  Whenever we're not recording a podcast now, I have, like,
• 0:59
  separation anxiety. I know, I like.
• 1:02
  I don't know what to do with myself.
• 1:05
  So I went to the Wilds of Idaho. I was so glad he made it back.
• 1:08
  I was in the wilderness at one point and like really did not
• 1:11
  have cell reception. So glad I didn't get attacked by
• 1:16
  some creature. Did you bring me back any native
• 1:19
  Idaho potatoes like I asked? I didn't even see in potato
• 1:23
  farm. What?
• 1:24
  Yes, my friend told me that like, there are more potato
• 1:27
  farms in Washington or something than in Idaho.
• 1:30
  And like, she doesn't know where any potato farms are, which I
• 1:32
  found highly unacceptable. I thought the whole draw of
• 1:35
  Idaho was the potato farms, but I guess someone lied to me.
• 1:38
  Apparently it's their outdoor activities, which I have to say
• 1:42
  are fantastic. Speaking of, I was in Seattle
• 1:46
  and lucky me, you know I kind of hate the sun.
• 1:49
  I think it's way too hot. I do.
• 1:51
  I went to Seattle and it was the 5th, 6th and 7th hottest days
• 1:55
  and recorded Seattle history. So.
• 1:59
  Oh my gosh. That's because that whole region
• 2:01
  was having a heat wave. It was like in the hundreds,
• 2:04
  every single day I was there. Yeah, lucky me.
• 2:06
  It was so fun. I was just burning in hell for a
• 2:10
  whole. Whole week.
• 2:11
  I don't know how long. I don't know how long I was
• 2:13
  there. Just was long hot blur.
• 2:16
  Long hot blur. Oh my gosh.
• 2:20
  OK, so I know this is totally off topic, but my sister texted
• 2:24
  me after she listened to the Cruella episode.
• 2:28
  And I talked about the dog that gave me, like, the trauma.
• 2:31
  Oh no, not again. She was like a few critical
• 2:35
  facts, dear sister, after listening to your amazing pod.
• 2:39
  One, that horrible dog's name was Samantha Two, She assaulted
• 2:44
  you mercilessly, which I assume you flocked out due to trauma
• 2:49
  #3. Are you ready for this, Spencer?
• 2:52
  I don't know. I don't think I'm ready.
• 2:54
  She was part Dalmatian. What?
• 2:58
  That's crazy. Apparently that is insane.
• 3:01
  I'm so sorry this this whole podcast must have been like a
• 3:05
  crazy experience for you. Hey, I didn't even know she
• 3:09
  hadn't informed me. I've been having so much fun
• 3:12
  doing a podcast. Oh, and I love everyone's
• 3:14
  comments. We've been gaining messages,
• 3:16
  people are loving it. A couple requests for us to do
• 3:20
  horror movies, which is definitely in our future.
• 3:24
  Yes, just wait. Wait for October?
• 3:27
  Yeah, we're going to go hard on horror movies and.
• 3:30
  Have spooky season. We're like very into horror
• 3:32
  movies, so we're really like resisting right now.
• 3:35
  But we'll get there. We can't just go all spooky all
• 3:38
  the time. Yes.
• 3:40
  And in November and October though, it's on.
• 3:43
  So, Elizabeth, what are we watching today?
• 3:45
  Oh my goodness. So today, for the 20th
• 3:48
  anniversary, we watched the classic Legally Blonde.
• 3:53
  Wow. 20th anniversary. Wow.
• 3:55
  Came out in 2001. That's a long time.
• 4:00
  Oh my gosh, it's so funny. So I told my sister we were
• 4:02
  watching it and she's like, oh, the movie that inspired me to
• 4:05
  become a lawyer. I was like, oh, is that how it
• 4:08
  works? I'm not going to lie, I've
• 4:10
  always wanted to. Every once in a while, I get
• 4:13
  this idea where I'm like, maybe I should have went to law
• 4:15
  school. And then they watched Legally
• 4:17
  Blonde, and I was like, no, maybe.
• 4:19
  I definitely should have went to law school and I have to bring
• 4:21
  myself back to Earth every time. But yeah, so this is apparently
• 4:26
  the movie that inspired my sister to become the kicks
• 4:30
  lawyer that she is. Hell yeah, I love lawyers.
• 4:33
  And your sister is a Kicks lawyer too, so shout out to
• 4:36
  Elizabeth's sister, everyone. All right, so I guess I'll start
• 4:40
  us off with a summary, and then Elizabeth will bring me to our
• 4:44
  favorite part of the podcast. Yes.
• 4:46
  Please so this summary is brought to you by IMDb because I
• 4:51
  was too lazy to come up with a summary this time, so Elizabeth
• 4:54
  is going to yell at me after this recording.
• 4:57
  Just a little bit. Didn't do your homework.
• 5:01
  I'm sorry. I did lots of research, but I
• 5:04
  just could not bring myself to come up with a summary.
• 5:09
  Okay. So for our summary this week,
• 5:12
  Legally Blonde Elle Woods, a fashionable sorority queen, is
• 5:16
  dumped by her boyfriend. Her lousy, no good boyfriend.
• 5:20
  I'll add that to the summary. She decides to follow him to law
• 5:24
  school. While she's there, she figures
• 5:27
  out that there is more to her than just looks and that is the
• 5:32
  summary. Short and sweet.
• 5:34
  So true. So true.
• 5:36
  She has such a transformation in this film, she does.
• 5:39
  And part of that transformation, Well, no, not really part of the
• 5:44
  transformation, but the tickets wardrobe that she does have.
• 5:47
  Spencer, Are you ready to go behind the wardrobe?
• 5:50
  I can hardly wait. This is my favorite part
• 5:52
  actually. All right, so let's go behind
• 5:55
  the wardrobe. Legally Blonde is directed by
• 5:58
  Robert Lutek. And the costume design is by
• 6:02
  Sophie Derakoff. You might know some of her work
• 6:07
  from either Sweet Home Alabama, Legally Blonde Two, This Means
• 6:11
  War, or most recently, The Morning Show.
• 6:15
  She's actually worked with Reese Witherspoon for quite some time.
• 6:20
  They do a lot of films together, but Legally Blonde was one of
• 6:24
  her her first movies as costume designer.
• 6:28
  So she had a unique experience for being so early on in her
• 6:33
  career. She said the studio was kind of
• 6:35
  hands off. There wasn't a lot of
• 6:37
  interference. So she was really able to be
• 6:40
  like natural and spontaneous with the wardrobe.
• 6:43
  She didn't have a ton of restrictions on her, you know,
• 6:46
  it's such a fun wardrobe. The pieces are unique.
• 6:50
  It's very of the early 2000s, but it's still ages well, which
• 6:55
  I really liked. I expected to watch us and be
• 6:57
  like, oh gosh, it's dated. It's not, it's not dated at all.
• 7:02
  And especially with the main character L, played by with
• 7:06
  Reese Witherspoon, it's so unique and different and they
• 7:09
  said they just basically had a. Catch phrase, which was what
• 7:12
  would Elle do? And from that they just, you
• 7:16
  know, it's like one thing she points out in an interview is
• 7:21
  they were like, OK, she has to wear a bikini in the video
• 7:25
  essay. You're like, well, all right,
• 7:28
  it's a pink sequence. That's what L would do.
• 7:30
  It's true. So they just had a very organic
• 7:34
  process to it that, you know, you wouldn't usually have.
• 7:38
  Also, you think a film like this would be mostly shopping, just
• 7:43
  finding funky pieces? Yeah, they had quite a few
• 7:46
  pieces made for this film. So I'll point those out as we're
• 7:50
  going through. But I liked, I did not expect
• 7:51
  that. I think this movie is so cool.
• 7:54
  I think Sophie de Rakoff is such an incredible costume designer.
• 7:58
  I love that she's been working with Reese Witherspoon ever
• 8:01
  since. It really shows.
• 8:03
  I love when costume designers developed that kind of personal
• 8:06
  relationship with an actor or actress.
• 8:09
  I agree to. It feels very modern.
• 8:11
  It doesn't feel dated to me. It just feels like it, you know,
• 8:15
  it's campy. It's a campy take on the 2000s,
• 8:17
  but it's still, yeah, you know, I feel like especially now in
• 8:21
  2021, I feel like especially Gen.
• 8:23
  Z is kind of going back to this sort of bright, bold fashion of
• 8:28
  2001. I feel like this was a
• 8:30
  trendsetter, just like Clueless, just like any of the Mona May
• 8:34
  films. Yeah, that's very true.
• 8:37
  And I don't know what I like most about this film.
• 8:39
  And it's like very shown through the costume.
• 8:42
  Like, it's kind of a romantic comedy, but it's a romantic
• 8:45
  comedy with, like, Elle herself. Yeah, exactly.
• 8:48
  Finding out just exactly what she is capable of doing.
• 8:52
  Remember how we said in I think it was the trailer, how I said
• 8:56
  it don't really get into ROM coms as much.
• 8:59
  And you said, well you're gonna watch them anyways.
• 9:00
  Yeah, this isn't one that I actually like, so I did enjoy
• 9:04
  this one. Good.
• 9:05
  Good. Well, I'm so excited to talk
• 9:09
  about this movie, so I think we should take a short break and
• 9:12
  just get right into it. I think we should, too, because
• 9:15
  I'm ready to talk about it. All right, let's do it.
• 9:42
  Legally Blonde. I am so ready.
• 9:45
  Let's do it so the scene opens on a very fun looking sorority
• 9:52
  row. Yes, You and I did not go to a
• 9:54
  school like this, so I this feels like a fairy tale to me.
• 10:00
  I don't know what this is like. I know and my and my one like
• 10:03
  sorority row experience at another college was like not
• 10:07
  this great you went and party that other sororities.
• 10:11
  We tried to party at a frat. Did not go well.
• 10:15
  Oh no. Yeah, never been to a fraternity
• 10:20
  or sorority party, but I imagine they're fun.
• 10:22
  But so we're just going on a can't relate basis for this
• 10:25
  podcast, but yeah, we'll try. But it's nice.
• 10:28
  They're like all having a good time.
• 10:30
  They're signing a card for L Oh, it looks so fun.
• 10:34
  Everyone's wearing like, super bright, colorful colors.
• 10:38
  I believe this school is somewhere in Los Angeles.
• 10:42
  Yeah, it's it's CU LA. And I'm like, did you see LA
• 10:47
  drop out at the last minute? Oh, I see.
• 10:50
  It's supposed to be a play on UCLA now.
• 10:52
  I got it. OK, So yeah, it's supposed to
• 10:55
  be. I guess we'll say it's maybe
• 10:57
  UCLA. Everyone's in bright colors.
• 11:00
  And finally it comes to us that L is supposedly getting proposed
• 11:05
  to today at dinner. Yeah.
• 11:07
  She's so ready. She's but like, I don't know.
• 11:10
  I don't know. That is, until he tells her it's
• 11:13
  at some fancy restaurant. Oh.
• 11:15
  Yeah, and she's so excited. Her friends are excited and this
• 11:19
  is the first piece we see her in is they called it the Cloud
• 11:22
  Dress and it was actually one of the pieces they made for the
• 11:26
  film. Oh, it's so cute and it does
• 11:28
  look like clouds. Not I'm looking at it.
• 11:30
  Yeah, it's like it's this pink Cloud Print.
• 11:33
  I love it. It's so cute on her.
• 11:35
  It feels very tropical, like she's going to Hawaii with the
• 11:38
  yellow flower in her hair. So she's like, OK, he's gonna
• 11:42
  propose. It's this big fancy restaurant.
• 11:44
  I gotta go find something new to wear and I love her two friends
• 11:48
  and their costumes. Margot and Serena.
• 11:50
  I love the cute little. I love the little cheerleader
• 11:53
  outfit. Yeah, this like, teal and orange
• 11:56
  cheerleader uniform. Um, I don't know if that works
• 11:59
  as a cheerleader uniform, but it's cute.
• 12:01
  Yeah, exactly. Those aren't the colors I would
• 12:04
  pick, but they're cute. Yes, it is a fictional college,
• 12:06
  so I'm obsessed of all the hairstyles.
• 12:10
  Though in this movie. Oh, the hair is just beyond.
• 12:14
  I have to say her friend um. Serena, The one in the
• 12:18
  cheerleading costume. She has the best hairstyles.
• 12:22
  She does. It's really on point all the
• 12:24
  time. And she has the best facial
• 12:25
  expressions of this attire film, Yes, and they tell Elle like
• 12:29
  they need to go shopping for tonight.
• 12:31
  They gotta go, They go. And Elle is trying on this blue,
• 12:34
  sparkly, sleeveless dress. Yes, they try to sell this dress
• 12:39
  to Elle. From last season at full price,
• 12:42
  and Elle knows her stuff. This is your first clue that
• 12:45
  she's actually very. Smart is that she doesn't take
• 12:48
  the bait. So me this whole time, I haven't
• 12:50
  seen this movie a long time. I'm just gonna admit.
• 12:52
  And I know some people love this movie and I do love it, but I've
• 12:55
  not seen it forever. I'm like, oh, is she supposed to
• 12:58
  be a dumb character the entire time?
• 13:00
  No, she's like, that dress is low viscosity rayon.
• 13:03
  And in my head, I was like, oh, OK, well, she actually knows
• 13:06
  what she's talking. About Yeah, she really does, she
• 13:10
  says. Red is the color of confidence.
• 13:12
  Do you agree? Actually, I'm going to say yes,
• 13:16
  because we just watched Captain America and we just had this
• 13:19
  conversation. OK, maybe.
• 13:22
  I don't know. She has a lot of confidence in
• 13:24
  that pink, though, that's true. That is, her color of confidence
• 13:28
  is the pink. Oh my gosh.
• 13:29
  And pink was almost not the signature color.
• 13:32
  Oh really? They thought it was too on the
• 13:34
  nose. But then they actually visited
• 13:36
  sororities and they were like, Oh no, this is correct.
• 13:39
  Yeah, it just has to be it. I think Pink is fine for this,
• 13:43
  actually. I can't imagine it not being in
• 13:44
  pink, honestly. Honestly, I don't think the
• 13:46
  movie would have worked as well if pink was not her signature
• 13:49
  color. No.
• 13:50
  So I feel like you can make a color your confidence color no
• 13:54
  matter what color it is, as long as you feel confident in it.
• 13:57
  So if you feel good at pink, you wear fucking pink.
• 14:00
  Yeah, if you feel good in orange, wear orange.
• 14:03
  Yeah, It's not the new pink, but it is if you feel confident in
• 14:06
  it. That was a good one, Elizabeth.
• 14:11
  I feel confident in black, so I wear black every day of my life.
• 14:14
  As you should even to bed. I wear black.
• 14:19
  You really do just live in black.
• 14:21
  Oh my gosh. So anyways, the boyfriend
• 14:23
  finally comes over. Warner is played by Matthew
• 14:26
  Davis. Yes, he's kind of hunky.
• 14:28
  I get it. He's.
• 14:29
  Kind of hunky. He's hunky in that very, like.
• 14:32
  East Coast frat boy way, yes, which is mentioned later on.
• 14:37
  He is very East Coast. East Coast people have a a feel
• 14:41
  about them I would say. He's very frat boy, but he has
• 14:44
  that East Coast reserve. Yeah, very, very that.
• 14:49
  And Elle is wearing a different kind of pink halter dress to to
• 14:53
  dinner. Halter dresses and pink are
• 14:55
  apparently just her power outfit.
• 14:57
  So this the proposal dress. Was actually made by Molly
• 15:02
  Stern, who is a very famous celebrity makeup artist and good
• 15:07
  friends with Reese Witherspoon. They knew they needed something
• 15:10
  like really special. Molly Stern apparently also
• 15:14
  makes clothes. I tried to do a little research
• 15:16
  but really couldn't find anything besides her makeup work
• 15:19
  and they went to her for this piece and I'm like, it works.
• 15:23
  It really it works. It makes so much sense for
• 15:26
  Elle's character to be wearing this kind of pink and black
• 15:30
  dress. It feels almost kind of like
• 15:32
  Flintstones ish to me, But. Yes, but she's like I look good,
• 15:37
  so why doesn't matter? Yeah, in an interview with
• 15:40
  Entertainment Weekly, she calls it like a wiggle dress, like
• 15:44
  Marilyn Monroe. And it's like, ooh, that is
• 15:47
  right on the nose. I love that.
• 15:49
  That makes complete sense, Yeah. And it's it just really is like
• 15:53
  the perfect dress for this scene because she's just all excited.
• 15:57
  It does look kind of bridal, which is what she said she
• 15:59
  wanted in the store. Oh, it is bridal, Yeah.
• 16:04
  It has like a bridal silhouette. You put that in white and it's
• 16:07
  like it's a it's a bridal gown. Exactly.
• 16:10
  That's so right. But back to the story Warner is,
• 16:15
  he's a piece of. He is I love.
• 16:19
  How every person in the restaurant knows that too.
• 16:22
  Yeah, this guy's terrible and I just can't even.
• 16:26
  Like I was so cringing the entire time watching the scene.
• 16:29
  He's just terrible. He's awful.
• 16:31
  She's so excited, he calls her Pooh Bear.
• 16:35
  Which is gross. If anybody starts calling me
• 16:38
  that, and I'm OK with it, you need to, like, take me aside and
• 16:41
  be like Elizabeth. I don't think this is the right
• 16:43
  relationship for you. No, I will be sure to do that.
• 16:46
  Elizabeth. Bring yourself back to Earth.
• 16:48
  That's not gonna work. He breaks up with L because
• 16:52
  she's just not gonna cut it, I guess, for him being a senator
• 16:56
  at 30. No, He needs a Jackie, not a
• 16:59
  Marilyn. Oh, gross.
• 17:01
  So gross. I did look it up.
• 17:04
  To be a US senator, you have to actually be at least 30 years of
• 17:08
  age. The current youngest senator is
• 17:11
  Jon Ossoff of Georgia, and he is 34.
• 17:14
  How old do you need to be a representative?
• 17:17
  I'm not positive we could look that up real quick.
• 17:20
  Because I feel like there are representatives younger than,
• 17:22
  oh, he has to be 25. To be a U.S.
• 17:26
  House of Representative member, you have to be 24.
• 17:30
  What did I just say? If 25, how did I forget it that
• 17:33
  fast in two? Seconds.
• 17:39
  Oh my God. To be a U.S.
• 17:41
  House of Representative member, you have to be at least 25 years
• 17:45
  old, so a little bit younger than the senator.
• 17:48
  Now that I got that out of the way, no one's gonna care, but I
• 17:52
  just had to drop some political nerd knowledge on all of you.
• 17:55
  Like I said, I sometimes wish I went to law school, so.
• 17:59
  There's still time, Spencer. There is.
• 18:00
  I'm not even 30 yet, so technically my senator days are
• 18:04
  maybe ahead of me. Yeah, I mean, you don't have to
• 18:06
  go to law school to be a senator, that's true.
• 18:09
  You don't have to go to law school to be a president.
• 18:11
  That's true as well. You need no knowledge of the
• 18:16
  Constitution to enter our political system.
• 18:19
  No, not at all. We won't get into it, but.
• 18:23
  Yeah, so Al has been broken up with She's doing her walk of
• 18:29
  shame back to her house. Her she ex-boyfriend says you
• 18:33
  should get in my car because you don't want to get your shoes
• 18:36
  ruined. I don't like this scene,
• 18:38
  honestly. I don't like this either.
• 18:40
  This is literally the only nice thing he does for her because
• 18:43
  that is kind of that she has to walk home and heals like that.
• 18:45
  I've done that. Your feet don't thank you the
• 18:48
  next day. Like it's bad for a couple of
• 18:50
  days. So it is like that's like the
• 18:52
  only nice thing she he does. But then like it's looks like
• 18:56
  they just drive home in silence. And then like, the worst part is
• 19:00
  when she's getting out the car, he's literally checking his hair
• 19:03
  in the the rearview mirror. And I was like, yeah, I don't
• 19:06
  know. I just feel like I would.
• 19:07
  I could have gone without seeing this scene.
• 19:09
  It's just so terrible. I just she's.
• 19:12
  So sad. It's tears straight her makeups
• 19:15
  ruined. She's crushed.
• 19:18
  I get so mad at like 3 boyfriends and girlfriends who
• 19:21
  are doing like obviously three stuff like this.
• 19:24
  I don't know why I'm just so passionate.
• 19:25
  Like why are you such a jerk? I just don't get it.
• 19:28
  It doesn't make any sense anyways, now that he's gone out
• 19:33
  of our life for a temporary amount of time.
• 19:36
  Ella's crushed. She's crushed.
• 19:38
  She's just in her room eating chocolate in her cute room.
• 19:42
  I will say I love. The better room with her with
• 19:44
  Bruiser. Her little, her little
• 19:46
  Chihuahua. This is the only time I've
• 19:48
  actually liked a Chihuahua in a film, not the dog drama Again, I
• 19:55
  think Bruiser is such a cute character.
• 19:57
  I'm obsessed with Bruiser. Adorable.
• 20:00
  All of Bruiser's little outfits, they make me really happy.
• 20:03
  Yes, he's adorable, but she is just like, she's so sad and her
• 20:08
  friends are like, we gotta get you out of here.
• 20:10
  So they're like, OK, let's go get her.
• 20:13
  Her thing that makes her feel better is going to get her nails
• 20:16
  done. They do.
• 20:18
  So they go to the salon at her friend Serena.
• 20:21
  I think it's the funniest thing when she's talking.
• 20:25
  So like, her manicurist and then, like, she just freaks into
• 20:29
  like, Mandarin, I think. And I'm just like, I was like,
• 20:34
  all these girls are really smart.
• 20:36
  They're just priorities. Are not on like what a normal
• 20:40
  Spark smart person's priorities would be on.
• 20:42
  Totally. And I think that's the idea
• 20:44
  behind it. It's like these sorority people,
• 20:47
  I mean just students in general from this area of California.
• 20:51
  Everyone's just assuming that they're all just dumb.
• 20:53
  They're just there to party, but at the same time, like the
• 20:56
  school they're going to is still a prestigious school, so they're
• 20:59
  all experts and their studies, so maybe she was studying
• 21:04
  language. Yeah, they just assume like, oh,
• 21:05
  daddy paid for this, you're going to become a trophy wife.
• 21:08
  They just want us like more simple life.
• 21:11
  To all of my fraternity and sorority brothers and sisters,
• 21:14
  you are very seen at this moment.
• 21:16
  You are smart. You're talented.
• 21:18
  Even if this movie is to make you look dumb, I know you're all
• 21:21
  still talented. Yeah, you can do great things
• 21:24
  with your lives. Yeah, Speaking of doing great
• 21:29
  things, if their lives. Al comes up with this idea after
• 21:32
  seeing Warren's brother in a newspaper.
• 21:34
  Yeah, his brother just got engaged to a first year law
• 21:37
  student and she's like. I can be that, yeah.
• 21:40
  So I was like, I'm gonna go to law school.
• 21:42
  And just like that, she just begins her venture to becoming a
• 21:47
  law student. Yeah, she there's this great
• 21:50
  montage of all. All her sorority sisters are
• 21:53
  behind her. They're like, we don't get this,
• 21:55
  but it's important to you, so we're here for you.
• 21:58
  So she's studying for the Lsats. She's filming a video essay.
• 22:03
  Instead of writing one down, she's filming the video assay.
• 22:06
  Hey. So the fact she's like, I got a
• 22:10
  Coppola to direct it and I'm like, why she's doing the essay
• 22:17
  in a hot tub in a pink sequined bathing suit, Yes.
• 22:22
  This is, this is the app that I was talking about where they
• 22:25
  were just like, well, what would Elle do?
• 22:26
  And it's like, oh, she has a blue sequined bikini top too
• 22:29
  when she's talking to her parents.
• 22:31
  Oh my gosh, when she's talking to her parents about going to
• 22:34
  law school and her dad's like. Law school is for ugly, boring,
• 22:37
  serious people. Here are none of those things.
• 22:42
  I wish her parents had been in this more because they were
• 22:45
  hilarious, right? I love them and I'm just
• 22:48
  obsessed with these looks. I'm like, oh, she looks so good
• 22:51
  and it's being bathing suit. She does.
• 22:53
  She pulls everything off. And one thing I like about this
• 22:57
  is Sophie. She said that, you know,
• 22:59
  everything she wears could be considered very sexy, but the
• 23:03
  way Reese Witherspoon plays. Elle Woods.
• 23:07
  It's just all very cute. Yeah, it feels very cute.
• 23:11
  Do you feel like she's wearing the pink bathing suit because
• 23:14
  she knows her audience and maybe this might help her going into
• 23:18
  her interviews? Or do you literally think that
• 23:20
  she thought, wow, this is a great idea for a video.
• 23:23
  I think I'm going to look cute and it's going to be awesome. #2
• 23:27
  She just thought it was going to be cute and awesome because like
• 23:29
  I said, when she's talking to her parents, she's wearing a
• 23:31
  blue version of that top. That's true.
• 23:34
  So clearly this is just what she swims in.
• 23:38
  Yes, I love this scene. It's so fun and it cuts to all
• 23:42
  these professors sitting around the table.
• 23:44
  Mouths open, mouths open. They're so confused.
• 23:48
  And the part that gets me every time, Elizabeth, is they're so
• 23:52
  focused on L being a fashion major.
• 23:56
  Yes. And what are you and I,
• 23:58
  Elizabeth? We are fashion major.
• 24:04
  Feels like such a read. Yeah.
• 24:06
  Just because Elizabeth and I are fashion majors does not mean we
• 24:10
  cannot do whatever we want in this world.
• 24:12
  Yeah, we're smart people. We can do whatever.
• 24:15
  I want to see whoever thinks that fashion majors are dumb.
• 24:19
  I want to see you flat pattern something or grade a pattern
• 24:22
  piece. I want to see you do that, or
• 24:24
  even explain to me what that is exactly.
• 24:29
  Do you know what it's like to sew till 7:00 in the morning and
• 24:33
  then be at class at 8:00? And then the stamina.
• 24:36
  You have to have to stay awake in your like bar seat so you
• 24:40
  don't fall out at the drafting table.
• 24:43
  Yeah. Do you know what it's like to
• 24:44
  stay up two nights in a row to get your finals done, which is
• 24:47
  like sewing three whole stresses?
• 24:50
  Do you? Yeah.
• 24:51
  Do you know? Do you know what it's like to
• 24:54
  watch all three Lord of the Rings movies and one night while
• 24:58
  trying to learn how to sell a corset?
• 25:00
  Do you know? Yeah, engineering students.
• 25:02
  Yeah, law students do, you know, don't disrespect us.
• 25:10
  Wait, what movie are we watching?
• 25:11
  I forgot. We're watching Legally Blonde.
• 25:16
  Yeah, so take that, law professors.
• 25:20
  Yeah. So they're there, mouths open.
• 25:23
  Clearly the guy who's the head of the admissions committee,
• 25:27
  he's just, like, he's kind of has that, like, we can't let
• 25:30
  this person in. But every other professor is
• 25:33
  like, well, she has great extracurriculars.
• 25:36
  She's in a Ricky Martin video. Oh, she's a fan of music.
• 25:42
  They're all gross. They're all gross.
• 25:45
  The antagonist of this movie is just men in general, but also
• 25:50
  her test scores are like pretty amazing.
• 25:53
  Yeah, she ends up making it in and all of her friends run to
• 25:57
  tell her and they're all super excited.
• 25:59
  And I'm just so happy for her at this moment.
• 26:02
  I was rooting for you and you did that.
• 26:04
  She did. She got in.
• 26:06
  And then, like, she's so excited.
• 26:08
  She's like, I'm going to Harvard, I'm gonna win back
• 26:10
  Warner. We're gonna do this.
• 26:12
  So she drives to Harvard, and her driving outfit is something
• 26:18
  else. So her.
• 26:19
  Driving Outfit is one of the custom builds for this.
• 26:22
  It has to be. It yeah, it had to be.
• 26:26
  It's just like the pink leather. The The matching tinted pink
• 26:30
  sunglasses bruiser in his little Harvard like sweater.
• 26:36
  So adorable. It's so good with also on her
• 26:40
  collar has like a darker shade of pink.
• 26:42
  It just would. Yes, just this entire driving
• 26:46
  outfit. I think this is probably my
• 26:47
  favorite costume of the film. It just, it has to be
• 26:50
  everyone's. It's just so good.
• 26:51
  I think so too. Like, it's so adorable.
• 26:54
  It's the perfect thing for her to drive up in because she's
• 26:57
  also like, oh, I'm going to. School.
• 26:59
  So that's probably why she has like, the little bit of, like,
• 27:01
  the longer skirt. And like, she's like, oh, East
• 27:04
  Coast is chilly, gotta wear like leather jacket, keep warm.
• 27:09
  Yeah, exactly. And I love the way that it
• 27:12
  contrasts against all of the students at Harvard, because
• 27:16
  they're all. Wearing outfits?
• 27:18
  They're boring, preppy, but, like, also really earthy tones.
• 27:21
  Yeah, and the way L Woods just contrasts against all those
• 27:26
  earthy tones, it's just brilliant.
• 27:27
  It's so good and I love her because she just ignores all the
• 27:31
  hate that she gets right off the bat because people are like, oh
• 27:34
  hey, Malibu Barbie as she's like moving in and she's just like,
• 27:38
  OK, never mind, just just build out our day.
• 27:41
  Such a gross insult to Malibu Barbie.
• 27:44
  Since when was Malibu Barbie an insult?
• 27:47
  I don't know. And I'm like, what's wrong with
• 27:49
  being Barbie? Barbie can't do anything.
• 27:51
  Barbie was a pilot. She was a doctor.
• 27:53
  Barbie taught me. I could do anything.
• 27:56
  Yeah. Barbie's a freaking badass.
• 27:58
  And I love Malibu. Malibu is freaking cool, Yeah.
• 28:00
  Malibu's gorgeous in East Coasters.
• 28:03
  Oh my gosh, I'm about to fight. Elizabeth, you're from the East
• 28:06
  Coast. That's fight.
• 28:07
  East Coast. Don't fight me.
• 28:08
  I'm agreeing with you. Oh gosh, we're just a harder
• 28:13
  type of person. I just want to mention how cute
• 28:17
  Bruiser looks in his little outfit.
• 28:18
  Too little? Harvard sweater, pink sweater
• 28:22
  with a little purple collar on it.
• 28:24
  I mean, the costume designer had to come up with all these little
• 28:27
  costumes for it to dog too, yeah.
• 28:29
  It was so cute. And I was confused at first.
• 28:32
  I was like, what? Why is there an H on top?
• 28:34
  And then I was like, Oh yeah, it's for Harvard, because
• 28:36
  Bruiser is going to Harvard too. He's a Harvard dog now.
• 28:40
  And it's like, you know, we just did our Corilla episode.
• 28:43
  This is a real dog. He's not like a little fake dog
• 28:48
  with an eye patch. Yeah.
• 28:49
  Elizabeth I just wanted to take us on a little deep dive of the
• 28:53
  dog that played Bruiser because I am a Bruiser super fan.
• 28:59
  Cruiser was played by a Chihuahua named Mooney, who was
• 29:02
  born in 1998. He was taken in as a puppy by
• 29:06
  Studio Animal Services trainer Sue Chipperton.
• 29:10
  Sue had also helped train the Chihuahua Gidget, who was
• 29:13
  already made a name for herself as a mascot for the Taco Bell
• 29:17
  restaurant chain. Oh my gosh, isn't there a Taco
• 29:20
  Bell commercial in this? I don't remember.
• 29:23
  I think one of the days she's studying and Bruiser is watching
• 29:27
  the TV, I think I hear them say Taco Bell, and there's like
• 29:29
  another There's another, like, Chihuahua dog.
• 29:32
  Oh my God, I totally missed that.
• 29:34
  Mooney's breakout role wasn't Legally Blonde, and he also at
• 29:40
  the age of five, was in the sequel, Legally Blonde 2.
• 29:42
  Red, white and blonde. Following illegally blonde
• 29:45
  movies, Mooney continued to book acting jobs.
• 29:48
  He appeared in a music video alongside the singer and actress
• 29:51
  Cher, starred in several commercials, and had guest roles
• 29:56
  in episodes of the television series Three Sisters and
• 29:59
  Providence. He was present with Reese
• 30:02
  Witherspoon as she received her star on the Hollywood Walk of
• 30:05
  Fame in 2010. Mooney retired from acting in
• 30:10
  2014 at the age of 15, and Mooney did pass away in March of
• 30:15
  2016. But I just had to read all this
• 30:18
  Mooney the Chihuahua history, because I'm obsessed with it.
• 30:23
  He's an adorable dog. Rest in peace, Mooney.
• 30:26
  You were a real one. I love him.
• 30:29
  He's a superstar and I'm just so glad we got to do that deep
• 30:33
  dive. As am I, As am I.
• 30:35
  But she's taken him. To you know orientation.
• 30:41
  And she matches him in this scene she does.
• 30:43
  He looks so cute. She comes in a beautiful cute
• 30:47
  little crop top, very colorful and she's also wearing a pink
• 30:51
  beret or news cap. Can't really tell from this
• 30:53
  angle, but she's standing out in this crowd of once again a lots
• 30:56
  of earth tones. I see lots of greens and plaids
• 30:59
  and Blues. She stands out and it's just.
• 31:02
  She stands out a lot. It's really good for the camera.
• 31:05
  Right now, you just really focus on her outfit.
• 31:08
  The cute little sparkly belt that's hanging from her pants
• 31:11
  are so cute too. I know, it's like she's have the
• 31:14
  pink pants with the purple pink and like like metallic silver
• 31:19
  top. It's so adorable.
• 31:22
  And she's asking for her social calendar and it's missing.
• 31:26
  You know, this is Harvard. We don't do lots of crazy
• 31:30
  parties like you're used to at in Los Angeles.
• 31:34
  Especially like the the law school part of it.
• 31:36
  It's like most people already got their their party days out.
• 31:40
  Yeah, totally. And Elle gets to meet her I
• 31:43
  thought was going to be friends, but I realized this isn't Mean
• 31:46
  Girls. This is Legally Blonde.
• 31:48
  I thought they were going to be like.
• 31:51
  Her enemies at first, but become her besties.
• 31:53
  Yeah, which I feel like they kind of do.
• 31:55
  But I'm like, there must have been a lot that was cut out of
• 31:58
  this. I thought they were going to be
• 32:00
  friends, too. And then I realized we're
• 32:01
  thinking of Mean Girls, you know, with her two friends that
• 32:06
  are kind of outcast and they become, you know, Lindsay
• 32:09
  Lohan's friends. This is not Mean Girls.
• 32:11
  This is Legally Blonde David, whose name in the film is
• 32:16
  actually Dorky David. He has a master's in Russian
• 32:20
  literature, a pH. D in biochemistry and for the
• 32:23
  last 18 months he's been deworming orphans in Somalia I.
• 32:27
  Love David. He just looks freaked out and
• 32:30
  ready to run every single moment of this film.
• 32:34
  Enid Wexler has a pH. D from Berkeley Women's Studies
• 32:38
  with an emphasis and a history of combat.
• 32:42
  It's emphasis on combat. Women in combat?
• 32:45
  OK, I love it. She single handedly organized a
• 32:49
  March for lesbians against drunk driving, which is crazy.
• 32:54
  And she's like, good times, good times.
• 32:56
  Finally, Aaron Mitchell graduated first in his class
• 32:59
  from Princeton. He has an IQ of 187.
• 33:02
  It's been. So he says.
• 33:04
  So, he says, suggested that Stephen Hawking stole his Brief
• 33:08
  History of Time from Aaron's 4th grade paper.
• 33:12
  I looked up IQ scores and 187 is, I believe, even better than
• 33:18
  Albert Einstein's. Yeah, I'm starting to think he's
• 33:21
  a liar. Yeah, yeah.
• 33:25
  I actually don't know what my IQ score is, so it must not be very
• 33:29
  good. I I mean, they did mine like
• 33:32
  when I was in elementary school. We should do it again and tell
• 33:37
  our audience. Apparently average is like 85 to
• 33:40
  115. Oh.
• 33:42
  I think I got, I got like 30 something, got 30, I got a 30
• 33:46
  something. Yeah, we should double check
• 33:49
  that because that's like at the bottom of the scale.
• 33:53
  No, 1:30, I'm sorry, 01/31. 3130 something?
• 33:59
  OK, then you're above average. Yeah, according to this chart I
• 34:02
  pulled off though Internet. Before, I don't know.
• 34:05
  I feel like maybe as a child I was smart.
• 34:08
  I don't know if I've kept that intelligent.
• 34:13
  All right, Elizabeth. Well before Elle starts her
• 34:15
  classes, I think that we should take a quick break and go get
• 34:19
  all of our notepads and pencils before our first day of law
• 34:23
  school. Notepads.
• 34:24
  Pencils. Old snack, your little your
• 34:27
  little heart-shaped notepad. All right.
• 34:31
  See you after the break. back.
• 34:56
  L is ready for the first day of school.
• 34:59
  She's got what she believes is the outfit of a lawyer.
• 35:04
  A metallic Peacock, green cardigan.
• 35:09
  A blue metallic knee length pencil skirt, a pink top with a.
• 35:15
  Tie and some knee high brown leather boots.
• 35:20
  This outfits all over the place, but it's actually one of my
• 35:22
  favorites. I think this cardigan is
• 35:24
  actually really nice. I love that cardigan.
• 35:27
  And I love that, like, what really is.
• 35:31
  She's like, yeah, I'm the lawyer is when she puts those fake
• 35:34
  glasses on, Oh yeah, she's feeling the fantasy right now.
• 35:38
  She is. I swear she's like, this is what
• 35:41
  a senator or a representative of Congress would wear.
• 35:45
  She's just. She's like, this is what he
• 35:47
  wants in all life. Yeah, just that Peacock color on
• 35:53
  the cardigan. It's I just can't stop looking
• 35:55
  at. It's just so attractive.
• 35:56
  I know, It's like it's bold, it's in your face, and she just
• 36:00
  thinks she looks so good. But she is not ready for her
• 36:05
  first class, no. In the slightest.
• 36:07
  I mean, she forgot to do her first assignment already.
• 36:10
  How does that happen? I don't know.
• 36:12
  She didn't even realize that law school is probably one of the
• 36:15
  few where it's like, oh, even before the first day of school
• 36:18
  got to be doing your reading. Yeah, I mean, that's so true.
• 36:21
  This is one thing that confuses me.
• 36:23
  I'm like, did you not read the book list?
• 36:25
  Like, why do you, like, at least not have the book with you,
• 36:29
  right, Even if you didn't read it.
• 36:31
  But I'm so happy to finally introduce 2 characters that I
• 36:35
  love. Professor Stromwell, who's
• 36:38
  played by the brilliant Holland Taylor, I love so much.
• 36:41
  Yes. And then, of course, we bring in
• 36:46
  Elizabeth, one of my favorite people of all time.
• 36:50
  Yes, she's one of my favorite superheroes of all time.
• 36:54
  Yeah, I bet Vivian, played by the wonderful Selma Blair.
• 36:58
  Yes, noble work. Hellboy, Hellboy 2, The Golden
• 37:03
  Army. She was also in Cruel
• 37:04
  Intentions, another great movie, but just she's just an all
• 37:08
  around amazing person. Selma Blair.
• 37:11
  She's not necessarily my favorite actress, just like
• 37:14
  people always say. There's no such thing as
• 37:16
  perfect, but I actually believe that Selma Blair defies that.
• 37:20
  She might be perfect. Selma Blair is perfect.
• 37:23
  Yeah. Sorry.
• 37:24
  I was like I was obsessed with Hellboy as a kid.
• 37:27
  Oh my gosh. I love Hellboy too.
• 37:30
  That's one of, I'm not gonna say it was one of my favorite movies
• 37:33
  when I was in like, what? I don't know.
• 37:35
  Growing up. Yeah.
• 37:36
  That was a good one. That was a good one.
• 37:38
  But yeah, so we have Liz, or as she's known in this film,
• 37:42
  Vivian. Vivian's outfits, I think, are
• 37:45
  just as Gray as Elle Woods. They're a different color
• 37:48
  palette, but they're still pretty amazing.
• 37:51
  She's wearing a very sophisticated blue blue top with
• 37:56
  always like a little Pearl necklace above it.
• 37:59
  She's wearing her cute little headbands.
• 38:01
  The headband. That was so of the 2000s.
• 38:03
  I owned so many headbands very that it looks really good on
• 38:08
  her. I feel like all of her outfits
• 38:10
  are really good, so I'm gonna definitely call those out as we
• 38:13
  keep moving along. It's funny, that's kind of what
• 38:15
  my sister looked like when she was in law school.
• 38:17
  If you want to reference, we should have just invited your
• 38:22
  sister to be a part of the. She would have been thrilled.
• 38:25
  One thing I have to bring up about the scene, it still gives
• 38:28
  me the heebie jeebies, which they call the Socratic method.
• 38:33
  Why does that give you the heebie?
• 38:34
  The method of inquiry and instruction employed by
• 38:37
  Socrates, especially as represented in the dialogues of
• 38:41
  Plato and consisting of series of questionings, the object of
• 38:46
  which is to elicit a clear and consistent expression of
• 38:50
  something supposed to be implicitly known by all rational
• 38:53
  beings. Wow, that was a long
• 38:55
  explanation. Basically, it's you're like,
• 38:58
  don't do that again. Basically, it's when a teacher
• 39:02
  just calls on anyone in a class at random talking about my
• 39:06
  anxiety of like being in high school when you know the
• 39:09
  teachers looking for someone to call on and you're afraid she's
• 39:13
  going to call on you and you just kind of lower down in your
• 39:16
  chair and he gets slowly away from the mic.
• 39:20
  I gotta say, if you have social anxiety, cyber schools, the way
• 39:24
  to go. Did not have to deal with that.
• 39:27
  Oh, I'm so jealous. I hate it.
• 39:29
  You just see the teacher's eyes wandering around the classroom
• 39:32
  and you're like, please don't fix.
• 39:33
  Me, they land on you. They land on you.
• 39:35
  They're like, oh, Spencer. So what did you think about, you
• 39:39
  know, whatever. And I'd be like even if I know
• 39:45
  how to answer, it's just sudden Frozen.
• 39:48
  Yeah, and unfortunately, Elle Woods falls prey to this because
• 39:51
  she didn't understand there was reading before the class.
• 39:54
  Yeah, I mean, she's the first victim and she's instantly out
• 39:58
  of here. She's kicked out.
• 39:59
  And I love that clearly she does not know who Vivian is, but
• 40:05
  Vivian knows who she is and completely destroys her.
• 40:10
  Gets her kicked out of the class.
• 40:12
  Yeah, I cannot believe this happened.
• 40:14
  But also at the same time, I feel like I would have to do
• 40:18
  that too if I was Vivian, you know, I guess.
• 40:23
  I mean, the prize is not great, so I don't know what they're
• 40:26
  fighting for. But if Holland Taylor asks you,
• 40:29
  should I kick out L Woods? You do what you think Holland
• 40:33
  Taylor wants you to do. That's true.
• 40:36
  That's true. What is the saying from Game of
• 40:38
  Thrones The you when are you die?
• 40:42
  No. Whoever passes judgment shall be
• 40:45
  the one to swing the sword. Oh, yes.
• 40:48
  Well, I guess in that context, well, Holland would have kicked
• 40:51
  her out. I don't know.
• 40:53
  It feels relevant, OK? Anyway, she gets kicked out of
• 40:58
  class for not having done, for not being prepared and she
• 41:02
  hopefully goes sits on the the benches outside and she meets
• 41:08
  Emmett, although we don't know it's Emmett for like another 30
• 41:11
  minutes. Yeah, Emmet's a cool guy.
• 41:14
  I like him. You know, he's he's kind of, you
• 41:17
  know, still that preppy kind of look, but he's cool.
• 41:19
  He's like, yeah, I got through this to past these classes, so
• 41:24
  she's like helping her out. Realizes she is out of place.
• 41:28
  Emmett played by the wonderful Luke Wilson.
• 41:33
  So I recently listened to a podcast where he was a guest,
• 41:37
  Did not realize he was Owen Wilson's brother.
• 41:39
  OK, so when I was watching it last night and I'm sure everyone
• 41:43
  who loves this movie is like, how do you guys not know this?
• 41:46
  I know this is, I know it's probably common knowledge, but
• 41:49
  it was not in my head. But once I starred because I
• 41:52
  just watched Loki, but we'll try not to get into that.
• 41:55
  And I saw Luke Wilson and I was like HM.
• 41:58
  He looks a lot like Owen Wilson, so I'm glad you confirmed that
• 42:01
  for me. Yes, they are brothers, but it's
• 42:03
  like, I don't. I don't think I've ever seen
• 42:05
  them in anything. I feel like I don't know if
• 42:07
  they've ever done a film together, cuz I'm like, oh, Owen
• 42:09
  Wilson the the Zoolander and Night at the Museum guy.
• 42:13
  Like that's what I know him from.
• 42:16
  And then I don't really think about it much past much past
• 42:19
  that. But no, they're brothers.
• 42:21
  Just like once you know that it's like clicks real quick.
• 42:25
  Yeah, I mean, once you put them together, they almost look like
• 42:27
  twins to a point. Yeah, though they're definitely
• 42:30
  related. For sure.
• 42:32
  Of course, Warner and Vivian show up, though, and they just
• 42:35
  kind of have to put the dagger in Elle's stomach a little bit
• 42:39
  harder. She has the Harry Winston
• 42:41
  Diamond Spencer. That monster, the monster is
• 42:47
  that is a gorgeous ring and I love how it, like this, is
• 42:50
  clicking in her head and she sees the ring twinkle and then
• 42:53
  she's like, excuse me, I hallucinated.
• 42:56
  What did you say? Yeah, I did not hear anything
• 43:01
  you just said. So she meets Vivian.
• 43:03
  She realizes she's really going to have to fight for him back.
• 43:07
  Oh yeah. She goes in a tailspin and ends
• 43:10
  up at the nail salon where she has the best entrance ever.
• 43:14
  I was like, Oh, yes, that is a California driver.
• 43:17
  Yeah, And she goes up to this nail tech and she's basically
• 43:22
  like, do you have any openings? I need my nails done, like
• 43:25
  immediately. And we are introduced to another
• 43:29
  one of my favorite humans on this planet.
• 43:32
  None other than Jennifer Coolidge as what's her name,
• 43:35
  Paulette. As Paulette Yes, she's so good.
• 43:38
  I love how she's like reading a magazine and eating.
• 43:41
  And then she's like this person's distressed Spill all
• 43:44
  your secrets. Yes, Paula is here to be there
• 43:46
  for you, my queen. She's here to be your now, your
• 43:50
  manicurist and your therapist. Jennifer Coolidge's character
• 43:54
  Paulette, wears a lot of denim in this moment.
• 43:57
  She's wearing it kind of like denim overalls over a floral
• 44:00
  top, yes. This whole nail salon feels like
• 44:04
  it's an entire different state. This does not feel like
• 44:06
  Massachusetts to me. This feels, yeah, like you can
• 44:11
  tell she's kind of like driven out a little bit because it is
• 44:14
  very like. Feels very disassociated with,
• 44:17
  very disassociate kind of rural. There we go.
• 44:20
  Yeah, it's. More rural.
• 44:21
  It doesn't feel like the Cambridge area to me at all, no.
• 44:24
  And so for Jennifer Coolidge, Paulette, they really wanted her
• 44:30
  to be very down to earth, like, so that's why she's got the
• 44:34
  denims, the muted colors. But Sophie also wanted her to
• 44:40
  look like somebody who, like, really does try to look good
• 44:43
  present themselves. Well, she just doesn't really
• 44:47
  have that sense of style that L does.
• 44:50
  Yeah, I mean, you know, she's not really going to fashion
• 44:53
  shows or studying fashion, you know, But she has her own
• 44:57
  personal style that makes her feel.
• 45:00
  Good, you know, and I love that she maybe doesn't have the
• 45:03
  confidence quite yet, which is part of her story, but she I
• 45:07
  feel like she feels confident in the clothes that she picks for
• 45:10
  herself, and I love that, yes. Paula is such a good character.
• 45:14
  She's got to get the eye of the UPS, man.
• 45:17
  The UPS guy, I love him so much. We'll get there.
• 45:21
  Yeah, I forgot about him. Basically, Paulette convinces
• 45:25
  Elle that she really has to fight for Herman back.
• 45:28
  Yeah, and Elle's like, do what? I'm gonna just give another shot
• 45:32
  or back in class. I feel like Elle's kind of lost
• 45:35
  a bit of her color though. I feel like she's she's pushing
• 45:38
  through, but she feels defeated because the top she wearing is
• 45:41
  sparkly, but it's also like a dark color.
• 45:44
  Yeah. So this is where she kind of
• 45:46
  starts to transition in some of like that East Coast style,
• 45:50
  which Sophie did try to do. The longer she's there, the more
• 45:55
  East Coast she looks, but it still has the Elwood flair to
• 46:00
  it. Totally.
• 46:01
  I think that's an amazing way to see that and I love that.
• 46:05
  I love like the slow transition from this West Coast to East
• 46:08
  Coast five she has going on. But as we see throughout the
• 46:11
  film, it kind of like fluctuates in and out exactly.
• 46:15
  We do see her California side again, her West Coast vibes as
• 46:20
  she, you know, just kind of sets up to study outside and oh, it
• 46:23
  just so happens that the the pickup football game Warner it's
• 46:27
  in is right there. Oh my God, she's literally on
• 46:31
  this lawn chair and has a big fuzzy jacket wearing another one
• 46:36
  of her pink sequined bikinis and her red glasses.
• 46:39
  It's so it's so good. Look like, I love the chair and
• 46:43
  she has like a little stool for Bruiser, all covered in pink.
• 46:47
  She has like a little outdoor living room and all the guys
• 46:50
  just stop and stare at her. It's brilliant.
• 46:53
  It must have took her forever to set up this little setup she has
• 46:56
  going. I know and like Warner was just
• 47:01
  totally unaware until all the other guys just stop and stare.
• 47:05
  Yeah, she's just haunting him. She's doing her best to just put
• 47:08
  her make make herself known at all times in his life, and the
• 47:13
  ultimate test she has for this is when she tries to join his
• 47:16
  study group. Cringe.
• 47:19
  Vivian's kind of a jerk in this moment, but she looks good in
• 47:23
  purple, though. Oh, she does, she does.
• 47:27
  She's got her string of pearls. Yeah, she's wearing a purple
• 47:30
  sweater with like a purple and white button up shirt underneath
• 47:34
  and she has her signature Pearl necklace over the sweater.
• 47:38
  She looks good. I'm just obsessed with Selma
• 47:40
  Blair. She looks good and Elle comes
• 47:43
  very nicely to join the group. She's like, I brought
• 47:46
  sustenance. She has these gigantic muffins,
• 47:49
  which I was like, I would be like, oh, yeah, OK you're in our
• 47:51
  group. You brought muffins.
• 47:52
  Great. Please have a seat.
• 47:54
  Everyone else wants those muffins in the group.
• 47:56
  Everybody else wants those muffins.
• 47:58
  But Vivian's. She's not having it.
• 48:00
  Yeah, even Warner's like, yeah, you know, Yeah, have a seat.
• 48:02
  I do enjoy muffins. Yeah, I feel that.
• 48:06
  But Vivian knows she's a threat to her engagement.
• 48:08
  Yeah, sends her way. We've already like divided up
• 48:11
  outlines or whatever law of people say sends her away and
• 48:16
  then is like, Oh no, like there's no room here.
• 48:19
  So mean as she's walking away she's been rejected.
• 48:23
  Enid like totally dumps on her for no reason.
• 48:27
  Oh my gosh, right. For no reason.
• 48:29
  I was like, so I was caught off guard when she made her come out
• 48:33
  for simply how she perceives her to be.
• 48:36
  Yeah, I love Elle's comeback where she's like, I don't use
• 48:39
  that word. You probably heard it from over
• 48:42
  there. Totally so unwarranted.
• 48:45
  I was. I turned around.
• 48:46
  I was like, did did someone say something?
• 48:49
  I turned around right in a fight about to make a ruckus in this
• 48:52
  study group. Right now I was like for no
• 48:55
  reason at all. Yeah, mind your business.
• 48:58
  So she she walks away completely dejected.
• 49:01
  She's totally pissed. Elves in her room.
• 49:05
  I love this scene because everything in her room is pink
• 49:08
  and furry. Her phone.
• 49:10
  Yes. Her tissue box.
• 49:13
  Just everything in the background, you'll notice, is
• 49:15
  just like covered in pink and fur.
• 49:17
  Yes, she's got her fuzzy blue cloud robe on.
• 49:22
  And she gets a call from her friends back home.
• 49:25
  And it looks like Margo is getting ready to get married.
• 49:29
  People in this movie Move fast. People in this movie do move
• 49:33
  fast and like she's all excited, but they're her friends are just
• 49:38
  so distracted they don't realize how sad their friend is.
• 49:42
  She's like, I'm way in over my head at this moment and she
• 49:45
  like, needs somebody to complain to.
• 49:47
  But Margo falls over. So the conversation is cut
• 49:51
  short. But as that conversation is cut
• 49:54
  short, she hears what she's been wanting to hear this whole time,
• 49:58
  that somebody's having a party. Oh, finally she runs out and
• 50:02
  it's Vivian having the party. Vivian's throwing, apparently
• 50:06
  some rager. She tells everyone to bring
• 50:09
  their Merlot though, so it sounds like a classy party to me
• 50:12
  because I've never told people to bring Merlot.
• 50:15
  I know it's a BYOB. And I was like, Oh my gosh, I'd
• 50:21
  love to go. And Vivian's like, OK, well,
• 50:24
  it's a costume party, so you're not gonna like it.
• 50:26
  And once again, another kind of parallel.
• 50:29
  I feel like 2 Mean Girls in this moment.
• 50:32
  Because if you remember cat Lindsay Lohan's characters
• 50:35
  invited to a costume party. Quote UN quote.
• 50:38
  I guess this is just a main thing people do in college or
• 50:42
  high school. It's it's a really good way to
• 50:45
  make someone look super foolish just immediately.
• 50:49
  I love a costume party, so I would be hyped.
• 50:52
  I think both of you like both of both of you talking to both of
• 50:56
  us. Both of us love a costume party.
• 51:00
  Elizabeth, what is your favorite costume or cosplay you've ever
• 51:04
  done? I'll pick the the Halloween
• 51:07
  costumes As a kid that I was the most hyped for two years in a
• 51:11
  row dressed up as Lord of the Rings characters.
• 51:13
  Oh yeah, or when, Then Ayo wins. My mom handmade the dresses for
• 51:18
  me. I still have them.
• 51:20
  I just. I felt so awesome in those
• 51:23
  costumes. I love that.
• 51:25
  That's so cute. I was Gandalf one year, very
• 51:28
  proud of that. But actually the robe ended up
• 51:30
  not fitting very tight on me. It was a very kind of sensual
• 51:34
  Gandalf. So I ended up ditching the robe
• 51:37
  and just going about with the beard and hair and just wearing
• 51:40
  a hat over it. I'm very proud of my Cusco from
• 51:45
  Emperor's New Groove. That's one of my favorite
• 51:47
  costumes. That's great.
• 51:49
  Very proud. Well, clearly I was very proud
• 51:52
  of her costume as well. She does the sorority girl thing
• 51:57
  and goes as a Bunny. This was another one of the
• 52:00
  custom builds. Oh, really?
• 52:03
  That's. Yeah.
• 52:03
  I didn't expect that. I love that though.
• 52:05
  Yeah, she's got the the pink corset with the lace and the fur
• 52:10
  out on the top, The cheap Bunny ears.
• 52:13
  She's basically wearing underwear and pink tights, has a
• 52:17
  little little Bunny tail in the back.
• 52:19
  She walks into the party. She knows immediately that she's
• 52:23
  been played. She walks up to Vivian.
• 52:26
  Vivian spits her drink out. She.
• 52:27
  Literally does a spit take. Literally does a spit take.
• 52:31
  Insults Vivian? Because at this point, Vivian
• 52:34
  deserves it. I love this costume so much.
• 52:37
  It's just so typical and on a nose of like this character.
• 52:41
  It's like what you expect of her, but yet like you said, she
• 52:44
  makes it look cute. I don't feel like she's there to
• 52:47
  be sexy. She's like, oh, this is very
• 52:50
  cute of me. Yeah, she's not there to be sexy
• 52:52
  at all. It is a sexy costume.
• 52:54
  It's exactly what you would get if you wanted a sexy costume.
• 52:58
  She's just, she feels adorable and herself, so she's rocking
• 53:02
  it. My notes for the scene.
• 53:04
  All he wrote is Warner fucking sucks.
• 53:07
  He does suck. I just had to make that known
• 53:11
  one more time. So he is the worst.
• 53:14
  And that's the moment she gives up and makes Harvard all about
• 53:18
  herself. Yeah, she's like, do you know
• 53:20
  what? I'm going to make law school my
• 53:22
  mission and I'm going to totally dominate all my classes.
• 53:26
  She has no time to spare. She goes directly to like, the
• 53:30
  computer store and in her Bunny costume, and she's just saying
• 53:34
  there, holding her colorful computer ready to go.
• 53:38
  It's always her. And I love how Emma walks in and
• 53:41
  just clears his throat and she's just like, don't ask, don't ask
• 53:45
  me what happened here. She says.
• 53:47
  Wasn't going to, but I'm like you were going to.
• 53:50
  You wanted to know why she was in a Bunny suit in the Mac
• 53:52
  Store. Yeah, like we all saw it.
• 53:55
  Like on the tip of your tongue. We go into a fun montage and I
• 54:00
  love this montage because in almost every other scene,
• 54:03
  Bruiser is in the spa chair. Gain the treatment, bruise
• 54:08
  watching TV. Bruiser's just having the time
• 54:11
  of his life. Right now, she's having the time
• 54:13
  of his life. And she is studying her saw.
• 54:17
  She's like, I'm going to be a lawyer.
• 54:18
  You just watch me. You think I'm not good enough
• 54:21
  for this? Yes, I am.
• 54:23
  And she puts her new lawyer skills to the test she does.
• 54:26
  When she goes with Paulette to go to her ex husband's house, I
• 54:31
  don't know if they're divorced, ex-boyfriend, ex.
• 54:33
  Boyfriend's house to get her dog back.
• 54:36
  Her boyfriend's name is Dewey, which you know already.
• 54:40
  Problem there. Elle is wearing this wonderful
• 54:45
  purple fur with like, an orange turtleneck.
• 54:49
  Very cute. It's like very cute.
• 54:50
  She is. It's, you know, they're in a
• 54:52
  colder climate. She's wearing her knit beanie
• 54:55
  and she's wearing her. I'm pretending to be a lawyer,
• 54:58
  glasses. Yes, and pretend to be a lawyer.
• 55:01
  Glasses. That's a good way to put it.
• 55:03
  And she just looks so cute. But this takes us to one of my
• 55:07
  favorite scenes of all time. Just one of the most quotable
• 55:11
  lines. When Elle basically convinces
• 55:14
  Dewey, like, Paulette has rights over, you know, separation
• 55:19
  rights and she deserves the dog. And Paulette has to put it in
• 55:23
  her own words. And I think we should do our
• 55:26
  best Jennifer Coolidge impersonation because I'm just
• 55:30
  obsessed with Jennifer Coolidge. It's okay, I'll go first, she
• 55:34
  says. I'm taking it, she says.
• 55:42
  I'm taking the dog Dumbass. That's pretty good.
• 55:46
  That's pretty good. Irritating.
• 55:50
  I've been waiting for this all day.
• 55:52
  I have to hear you, Jennifer. Cool.
• 55:54
  You make me do this, it's. So fun.
• 55:57
  I'm taking the dog Dumbass. I feel like that was good too.
• 56:05
  Jennifer Coolidge, Jennifer Coolidge is one of the kind.
• 56:08
  I don't, I don't know if anybody can can replicate that.
• 56:11
  I imagine Jennifer Coolidge somewhere right now, listening
• 56:14
  to her podcasts and just shaking her head.
• 56:16
  But yeah, probably. Shall we turned it off?
• 56:18
  Just know, Queen, that we are big fans.
• 56:20
  If we love you, we do love you. Oh God.
• 56:25
  But they get the dog back. And they they watch the
• 56:28
  snowflakes fall as winter winter descends upon Harvard.
• 56:33
  Yeah, it's Christmas at the salon.
• 56:35
  Paulettes and a cute little blue snowflake sweater.
• 56:39
  Yes, back in class, though Vivian is in a wonderful knit
• 56:43
  hat wearing lots of tans. And Elle's killing it in class.
• 56:47
  She's making waves. So much so her professor,
• 56:51
  Professor Callahan, says maybe you should apply for an
• 56:56
  internship. Yeah, Elle says I got you
• 56:58
  covered. Here's my resume.
• 57:00
  It is pink. And it's scented.
• 57:03
  I loved that he, and he is so confused.
• 57:08
  She just walks out. He's just staring and sniffing
• 57:11
  this piece of paper and that walks in.
• 57:13
  He's like, oh, what's going on? He's like, what?
• 57:15
  Like what's in your hand? He's like her resume.
• 57:17
  He's like, what do you mean her resume, like smelling.
• 57:19
  He's like, what do you think? This girl just woke up one day
• 57:22
  and thought, I'm gonna be a lawyer and I love and it's like,
• 57:25
  yeah, but she has potential. You know what?
• 57:28
  And if someone wants to wake up and say I want to go to law
• 57:31
  school one day, they should. You know.
• 57:33
  They should make your dreams come true.
• 57:34
  People, yes. There's nothing wrong with
• 57:37
  waking up one day and wanting to go to law school or anywhere
• 57:41
  else in life. You make it happen and in this
• 57:44
  in this next scene we find out Callahand.
• 57:46
  He's got a big case on his hand so he needs first year interns.
• 57:51
  He does, and he picks a couple students to be with him on this
• 57:55
  internship. And of course he picks Warner,
• 57:58
  he picks Vivian and he picks L and I'm stoked at Warner.
• 58:03
  Can't believe she got it and Vivian can't believe she got it.
• 58:06
  And this is the greatest when she goes up and she's like, oh,
• 58:10
  remember that time we spent 4 hours in the hot tub?
• 58:12
  And she's like, this is so much better than that.
• 58:16
  And the look Vivian gives Warner 4 hours.
• 58:20
  It's like, oh, you clearly never got 4 hours with nothing.
• 58:23
  Yeah, so. I had to do a little deep dive
• 58:27
  into hot tub usage because when I heard four hours, I thought 4
• 58:32
  hours. That is crazy.
• 58:35
  You should never spend 4 hours in a hot tub.
• 58:37
  You should. Never Our faithful, faithful
• 58:39
  listeners, do not spend 4 hours in a hot tub 8 Now it is
• 58:42
  recommended between 15 and 30 minutes in a hot tub take
• 58:47
  breaks. Absolutely do not spend more
• 58:50
  than an hour in a hot tub at one time.
• 58:52
  It is bad for you. Ooh, you know what I did in
• 58:55
  Idaho? I went to a hot spring.
• 58:58
  I hope you did not spend 4 hours in said hot spring.
• 59:01
  No, we were there for an hour. We took breaks in and out, but
• 59:06
  it was nice. Didn't expect it to smell like
• 59:08
  rotten eggs, but it was nice. Wow, that's so interesting.
• 59:12
  But how do you relax in a pool of water that smells like rotten
• 59:16
  eggs? You get used to it.
• 59:17
  I also, I don't smell things very well, so it was pretty
• 59:19
  easy. Yeah, that's true.
• 59:20
  My nose actually doesn't work really well, except for like
• 59:23
  sniffing out Krispy Kreme and in and out.
• 59:26
  Yeah, but L She sniffed out that internship and she got it.
• 59:32
  Sniffed it out. You're a monster, hey.
• 59:37
  She gave him a scented resume. I would call that sniffing out
• 59:41
  an internship. That is the theme of the
• 59:43
  segment. It's sniffing out your goals in
• 59:45
  life. People sniff them out, sniff
• 59:48
  them out. Before we go to break, I want to
• 59:52
  point out this nick cardigan that she's wearing.
• 59:54
  Again, it's different than the other Peacock cardigan this one
• 59:59
  is. It's interesting cuz it's like a
• 1:00:01
  green knit, but it has like. A blue hue to it.
• 1:00:04
  Or maybe it's a blue sweater with a green hint to it.
• 1:00:06
  Either way, it's kind of like an iridescent looking cardigan
• 1:00:09
  sweater, and I think it's so cool.
• 1:00:11
  Her sweaters are very interesting in this movie.
• 1:00:13
  Oh yeah, it looks real good. They're very modern, I would
• 1:00:16
  say. They're very modern, they're
• 1:00:17
  interesting, but it's her just continuing to dress the part.
• 1:00:22
  She's dressed in the part. Speaking of dressing a part, the
• 1:00:26
  part's about to become real when she moves into this internship.
• 1:00:30
  Before we get started with the internship, we're going to take
• 1:00:32
  a little break and when we come back, it's time to put our new
• 1:00:37
  studies into practice. Yes, it is.
• 1:00:40
  Let's take a break. ready for her new internship and
• 1:01:08
  right off the bat we she is serving looks immediately.
• 1:01:12
  She is serving looks because she knows she earned that
• 1:01:15
  internship, but she still unlike Vivian.
• 1:01:18
  She is gracious and tells Vivian she looks nice as well, and she
• 1:01:22
  does. I think Vivian does look nice in
• 1:01:24
  this black outfit in her, you know, a Gray turtleneck.
• 1:01:27
  She's always wearing turtlenecks, but it's fine.
• 1:01:29
  It looks good on her. But talk to me about Elle's
• 1:01:33
  look, though, at this point. Yeah, So for Elle's look, you'll
• 1:01:36
  notice when she's in the internship, she mostly wears
• 1:01:40
  like black and white. This first one is very fitted,
• 1:01:43
  very like. There's a little bit of like
• 1:01:45
  Marilyn Monroe influence in this first one because.
• 1:01:48
  Is another one who thinks it's like, well, what would Elle do?
• 1:01:50
  And it's like, well, I would think, like, OK, what do I need
• 1:01:52
  to do to look like, you know, a serious lawyer, wear black and
• 1:01:56
  white but still has that little, like, 1940s like, workgirl vibe
• 1:02:02
  to it. That's very cute.
• 1:02:04
  I love, like the she's wearing, like, a white polka dot.
• 1:02:07
  It almost looks like a bow with a red brooch in the center.
• 1:02:11
  It's very cute. This is one of my favorite looks
• 1:02:13
  of the movie. All of her internship outfits
• 1:02:16
  are very cute. And going along with that, like,
• 1:02:19
  well, what would L do? Sophie said that like, they were
• 1:02:22
  like, well, OK, what what designers would Elle Woods be
• 1:02:25
  looking at for her workwear? So a lot of those pieces are
• 1:02:29
  from Celine. Yeah.
• 1:02:33
  So they got a lot of her internship workwear from the
• 1:02:37
  Workwear Celine line at the time.
• 1:02:39
  I love that. I definitely see the influence
• 1:02:42
  too. It's very sophisticated, but
• 1:02:45
  still true to Elle. It's very cute.
• 1:02:47
  But also like, I feel like she's finally got the part of like the
• 1:02:51
  lawyer law student, like she understands the assignment now
• 1:02:54
  and she's she's still doing a good job being herself, but also
• 1:02:57
  playing this part that she's trying to play.
• 1:03:00
  She was basically going to win him back and then drop out, but
• 1:03:03
  now she's here for herself. She's not here for Warner
• 1:03:06
  anymore. So she's wearing what she really
• 1:03:09
  believes is what will look best for her in this position.
• 1:03:12
  Yeah, she's dressing for the job you want in her own way.
• 1:03:16
  We also see the character Brooke, she's played by Ali
• 1:03:20
  Larter, and this orange jumpsuit that she's in prison jumpsuit.
• 1:03:26
  I know no one looks good at a prison jumpsuit, but I actually
• 1:03:28
  feel like Brooke kind of pulls it off.
• 1:03:30
  She manages to pull it off. I think they probably did tailor
• 1:03:34
  that in a little bit, a little bit, a little bit.
• 1:03:37
  Because she's supposed to have like one of those, like a famous
• 1:03:41
  workout video line, which I'm like, Oh my gosh, like the
• 1:03:44
  workout video. Is there anything more 2000,
• 1:03:48
  right? Than a set of workout videos,
• 1:03:53
  but yeah, looks nice on her. This takes us back to the nail
• 1:03:57
  salon though, and it brings us to a fun moment where the UPS
• 1:04:02
  guy comes in and Paulette just kind of really fumbles her
• 1:04:06
  chance of the UPS guy. And he's clearly into Paulette.
• 1:04:10
  But they're both both very awkward.
• 1:04:12
  I love Paulette's costume at this part.
• 1:04:15
  It is so good. She's wearing denim Once again,
• 1:04:19
  she's wearing a denim vest over this tiger shirt, which is
• 1:04:24
  ridiculously brilliant. Yes, and embroidered on this
• 1:04:28
  denim vest is like starfish and seahorses on it.
• 1:04:32
  She's mixing like a tiger with starfish and seahorses.
• 1:04:36
  It's very like Zootopia. Denim skirt, ponytail on top of
• 1:04:41
  the head. That's just brilliant.
• 1:04:43
  I just love everything about this look.
• 1:04:46
  It's so brilliant she fumbles her chance to flirt, though, and
• 1:04:50
  Al is like, OK, let me teach you a little something.
• 1:04:54
  Let me teach you something called the.
• 1:04:57
  Bend and snap. She's wearing.
• 1:05:02
  She's wearing like. This great she has like a pink
• 1:05:06
  tank top but then a very sheer short sleeve embroidered with
• 1:05:12
  flowers top that is so of the 2000s.
• 1:05:17
  It's got like a long like bow on the front, and she teaches
• 1:05:21
  everyone in the salon the bend and snap.
• 1:05:24
  The bend and snap. Elizabeth, you look like someone
• 1:05:26
  who's mastered the bend and snap.
• 1:05:28
  You know, I've mastered the bend and snap, but I was taken aback
• 1:05:34
  by the scene a little bit. Not because I love the bend and
• 1:05:36
  snap scene. It's a great scene, but I was
• 1:05:39
  like, where is the salon? Look at what everyone is
• 1:05:42
  wearing. It just it's not Massachusetts.
• 1:05:44
  I don't know where it's at. It feels like it's like the
• 1:05:47
  Midwest or something. I.
• 1:05:49
  So Northeast, once you are start getting like out of the cities,
• 1:05:54
  it becomes very rural very quickly.
• 1:05:58
  It really chains quickly because this salon just everyone's
• 1:06:01
  wearing just colorful jumpsuits. And yeah, it's crazy.
• 1:06:06
  Yeah, Most of those communities you would think, like, oh, am I
• 1:06:08
  in the South? Yeah.
• 1:06:09
  But you're not. You're just in a royal part, a
• 1:06:12
  rural part of Massachusetts. Well, not to say I don't love
• 1:06:15
  the costumes. I think Sophie the Rack Off the
• 1:06:17
  costume designer did a brilliant job costuming the scene.
• 1:06:21
  I just don't understand where this part of Massachusetts is.
• 1:06:24
  But it's wonderful, Like this is a part I want to live in, is at
• 1:06:27
  this nail salon with all these cool people.
• 1:06:30
  I love it. It's great and I love the end of
• 1:06:32
  it when when the hairdresser comes in, he should like the
• 1:06:36
  bend and snap. Works every time.
• 1:06:40
  So I was watching this with my father this morning.
• 1:06:44
  He cracked up at the end of that, at that line.
• 1:06:50
  It was so good. It's a good little note.
• 1:06:53
  It's just so funny. I forgot how funny this movie
• 1:06:57
  was. It's been a long time and it's
• 1:06:59
  pretty hilarious. It stands the test of time.
• 1:07:02
  It's hilarious. Especially hilarious when Elle
• 1:07:06
  decides to go get the alibi they need.
• 1:07:09
  She goes back to prison to see Brooke, and we go into this
• 1:07:12
  ridiculous bit where Elle's trying to get the alibi from
• 1:07:16
  Brooke and I just thought, you want to talk about it's so
• 1:07:20
  silly. Oh gosh, so she refuses to give
• 1:07:23
  the alibi because she's like, it'll ruin my reputation.
• 1:07:26
  It's like, well, what could ruin your reputation more than people
• 1:07:30
  believing you murdered your husband's?
• 1:07:33
  However, when you think about it, for someone who built their
• 1:07:36
  fame and fortune off workout videos, getting liposuction on
• 1:07:40
  your ass would probably ruin your reputation.
• 1:07:45
  I love how she, like whispers it into the phone.
• 1:07:48
  She's like liposuction and it's like.
• 1:07:51
  What liposuction? Huh.
• 1:07:55
  Liposuction. She's like, slowly freaking out,
• 1:08:01
  but Elle promises to keep her secret, much to the annoyance of
• 1:08:06
  all her coworkers. She keeps the secret.
• 1:08:10
  We did skip the little part, which I just have to just real
• 1:08:14
  quickly talk about this outfit that Vivian's wearing back in
• 1:08:18
  her, you know, her intern group. She's wearing this really
• 1:08:21
  sophisticated look with a white collar again, her Pearl necklace
• 1:08:25
  and a black headband. I just this is one of my
• 1:08:28
  favorite looks on Vivian. It's really cute.
• 1:08:31
  So sophisticated. Vivian at the internship looks
• 1:08:35
  great. Also at the internship is when
• 1:08:38
  she starts to realize like. Warner not a good guy.
• 1:08:42
  He's not a good guy. And he's not actually very
• 1:08:45
  bright. I mean, he's OK.
• 1:08:46
  Yeah, cuz he's trying to give in, sell like just tell us the
• 1:08:50
  alibi like he's like lookout for yourself.
• 1:08:53
  It doesn't matter that you gave somebody your word and Vivian
• 1:08:56
  gives him a look like, excuse me?
• 1:08:59
  Yeah, of. Course it matters if you give
• 1:09:00
  somebody your word. She just witnessed like a, you
• 1:09:03
  know, kind of a poor quality on his part, and she's definitely
• 1:09:07
  turned off by that. Professor Callahan, he's pissed
• 1:09:11
  and he's like, you won't give us the alibi.
• 1:09:13
  The exwife of the man that was murdered will not come in for
• 1:09:16
  her interview. She's at some spa and this is
• 1:09:19
  another uncalled for insult one of the associates like, oh,
• 1:09:24
  isn't that your mothership? A spa?
• 1:09:25
  And it's like, yeah, shut up. Everybody would enjoy a spa if
• 1:09:29
  they went, yeah, just stop. You don't have to be like, you
• 1:09:33
  don't have to come from a bougie place in California to enjoy a
• 1:09:36
  spa. We all like Spas.
• 1:09:38
  No. So Callahan, he sends out, but
• 1:09:41
  he's like, well, since you won't tell us the alibi, you can't go
• 1:09:43
  by yourself. So he sends Emmett with her good
• 1:09:47
  choice. Good choice.
• 1:09:49
  So they. They go visit the Exwife in the
• 1:09:52
  spa. Her name is Miss Wyndham
• 1:09:55
  Vandermark and I don't understand what's happening
• 1:09:59
  here. She is wrapped in like a gold
• 1:10:00
  cocoon with cucumbers on her eyes, and I feel like we're
• 1:10:04
  watching Corella all over again. I know, and I love Elle just
• 1:10:07
  takes off the cucumbers from her face and is like, we gotta talk
• 1:10:11
  to you and she's like. OK, I need someone who's
• 1:10:14
  watching this to tell me what spa treatment she is undergoing
• 1:10:18
  right now. I just see lots of lights and
• 1:10:20
  what's that? It's probably some sort of like,
• 1:10:23
  um, like skin treatment. No, Like, you know, like a
• 1:10:27
  seaweed wrap. It's just like a version of that
• 1:10:29
  apparently. I don't go to a SPA too often.
• 1:10:31
  It's been a long time since I've been to a SPA.
• 1:10:34
  I mean, I've never gotten that done at a spa.
• 1:10:36
  I don't make that kind of money. But it is a.
• 1:10:40
  It is a thing. But so she's not helpful in the
• 1:10:45
  slightest. But you know, Elle and Emmett,
• 1:10:48
  they get a little alone time. They get to talk a little bit.
• 1:10:51
  One thing I love about this because it's like once she's
• 1:10:54
  done with Warner, there's like no more love story.
• 1:10:57
  It's cute that, you know, like something like her and Emmett
• 1:11:01
  clearly like and respect each other.
• 1:11:03
  But they don't like, just like, oh, here's another here's your
• 1:11:06
  new love interest. Totally It's not in your face.
• 1:11:09
  Like, we just all know that they, like, have affinity for
• 1:11:11
  each other. They like each other, and their
• 1:11:14
  relationship's definitely going to work out in the end.
• 1:11:16
  So it's just like not a part of the story at this time, you
• 1:11:19
  know? It's just it's an unsaid thing.
• 1:11:22
  They drive back. I love this moment of them
• 1:11:24
  driving back together and we see Al walking back in this really
• 1:11:29
  nice black coat. I can't tell if it's suede or
• 1:11:32
  like a short fur. It's probably fur, yeah.
• 1:11:35
  And it's really cute. I love it on her.
• 1:11:37
  And as she access the car, she's like.
• 1:11:40
  He's like, oh, would I look at as a blonde and she's like, you
• 1:11:42
  couldn't pull it off, but then I'm like, Oh my gosh, is that
• 1:11:44
  like a reference to his brother? Cuz his brother is blonde.
• 1:11:48
  Oh my God, I didn't even think of it like that.
• 1:11:51
  Totally. But she leaves.
• 1:11:55
  And then she comes to the rescue of her classmate, the only
• 1:11:58
  classmate up to this point. That's been nice to her, I will
• 1:12:02
  say. Oh yeah, poor darky David is
• 1:12:05
  like asking a girl out or two girls out.
• 1:12:08
  I don't know what's going on here.
• 1:12:09
  He's asking Vivian's friend out, but she just has like another
• 1:12:12
  friend there with her. Yeah, and it epic fails, but.
• 1:12:16
  Epic fails. She's mean to him for no reason,
• 1:12:20
  yeah, she said. Why would a girl like me ever
• 1:12:23
  date a guy like you? Super rude.
• 1:12:25
  Everyone in this town is rude. So rude and Al comes and saves
• 1:12:30
  the day and she's basically acts like they were dating and it
• 1:12:34
  makes him look more datable. So I feel like the two girls
• 1:12:37
  definitely have a change of heart.
• 1:12:39
  I wonder how long that change of heart lasted.
• 1:12:42
  We don't really know, but. I'm like, I I wouldn't want, I
• 1:12:45
  would not want to date somebody who 2 seconds ago was saying I
• 1:12:49
  was not good enough for them. Yeah, exactly Like, I think that
• 1:12:53
  times passed, but it's a fun scene.
• 1:12:54
  I appreciate it. Yeah, So she she's helping out
• 1:12:59
  her fellow man and then she's just chilling in her room.
• 1:13:04
  Yes. Wonderful, Vivian, even though
• 1:13:07
  we don't really like Vivian up until this point.
• 1:13:09
  But Vivi kind of. Vivian kind of comes in in like
• 1:13:12
  a new kind of persona. She's actually like, I'm
• 1:13:16
  starting to respect Elmore. I see how talented she is, how
• 1:13:20
  smart she actually is, how she's really just kind of let Warner
• 1:13:24
  stories go at this point and. Yeah.
• 1:13:27
  She comes in asking for the deposition, and they have, like,
• 1:13:31
  a nice little sweet moment for a little bit.
• 1:13:34
  Yeah, she's very vulnerable with her.
• 1:13:36
  Very nice. And it's like, this is where you
• 1:13:38
  start to like Vivian. Vivian is wearing another blue
• 1:13:42
  top with the Pearl necklace over it and it's just looks very
• 1:13:46
  sophisticated. Again, I just love this outfit
• 1:13:49
  on her. I to me it's like a very close
• 1:13:52
  battle between whose outfits I like more, Elle's and Vivian's.
• 1:13:56
  They're two different kind of styles, and.
• 1:13:58
  I think they're equally as good. Like you said, they're two very
• 1:14:01
  different styles, two very different styles, but they're
• 1:14:04
  costuming is just as brilliant for each character.
• 1:14:08
  Vivian asked if she could hold Bruiser.
• 1:14:10
  And that's when I was really like, yes, I I love this
• 1:14:15
  relationship. Because I think she at by this
• 1:14:18
  point she realizes that like basically made L out to just be
• 1:14:23
  like a bimbo, which she is not. And, like, now she realizes
• 1:14:29
  that, like, oh, I've been horribly judgmental of this
• 1:14:33
  woman. Yeah, it's like anyone who's
• 1:14:35
  been watching has known since that very first scene and where
• 1:14:38
  they try to sell her, you know, an old dress that L is not a
• 1:14:42
  bimbo. So, like, let's just take that
• 1:14:45
  word of discussion when it comes to L.
• 1:14:47
  Yeah. So then we're back in court and
• 1:14:51
  Brooke is wearing this wonderful newspaper crop jacket, which
• 1:14:54
  yes, and I love it so much and I love it because it's like
• 1:14:59
  reminiscent to Brooks past at this, you know, sorority that L
• 1:15:03
  ended up going to eventually. Yeah, so with with Brooke,
• 1:15:07
  basically because this is the first scene where you get to see
• 1:15:10
  her dress in her own style, but Brooke is basically just
• 1:15:13
  supposed to be an OR version of L Oh, for sure.
• 1:15:17
  Like, you know, they have the same exact background.
• 1:15:20
  She is also very smart, perceived as dumb.
• 1:15:25
  And it's like, well, in because she's supposed to be.
• 1:15:26
  I think she's supposed to be about like 2627, like in four
• 1:15:30
  years when I was a little bit older, like, yeah, this is how
• 1:15:32
  she would dress. I love that.
• 1:15:34
  I love that storyline. It's like looking at your future
• 1:15:37
  self, or almost like her big sister in the sense, which
• 1:15:40
  actually makes sense to me. Yeah, because this is something
• 1:15:43
  that could totally happen to Elle in the wrong in that
• 1:15:46
  circumstance. Before we leave this courtroom
• 1:15:48
  scene though, there is a character now sitting at the
• 1:15:51
  table. The wonderful chutney is seen at
• 1:15:54
  the at the witness stand. All I can think about is a Velma
• 1:16:00
  sitting at the witness stand. There is Velma sitting at the
• 1:16:04
  witness stand. The wonderful Linda Cardellini
• 1:16:08
  just sitting there. Linda Cardellini plays amongst
• 1:16:12
  many other characters, but she plays a VELMA in the scooby-doo
• 1:16:16
  movies and I'm obsessed with those movies.
• 1:16:20
  I actually just had a moment. I don't know how we haven't put
• 1:16:23
  the Scooby-doo movies on our podcast roster.
• 1:16:26
  We'll get there. We'll get there.
• 1:16:27
  Don't worry. It's happening.
• 1:16:29
  We're gonna rearrange some things because the Scooby-doo
• 1:16:31
  movies are it. We will figure it out.
• 1:16:34
  But yeah, it's funny because like Legally Blonde came out and
• 1:16:39
  then the very next year the first scooby-doo came out so
• 1:16:42
  because I didn't realize she was in that.
• 1:16:44
  So I think a lot of people don't realize that is her because she
• 1:16:48
  looks. So different because everyone
• 1:16:50
  knows her as Velma. Yeah, it takes a second.
• 1:16:54
  Like we were talking before the break.
• 1:16:56
  Linda Cardellini is actually in some of The Avengers movies too,
• 1:17:00
  because she is the wife to Clint Hawkeye.
• 1:17:03
  And like, I never actually recognized her in it.
• 1:17:07
  But then I'm like, oh, it's obviously her.
• 1:17:09
  Yeah, even this though I have to look her up because I was like
• 1:17:11
  you're clearly somebody, but you know, generally she is very
• 1:17:15
  straight hair. She has.
• 1:17:18
  In general, she has a little bit of an older looking face, so you
• 1:17:22
  don't think of her. She's played very much as like a
• 1:17:24
  very kind of like teenagery. She seems like, even though
• 1:17:28
  she's like a 20, some odd woman in the story.
• 1:17:32
  But she's got the big permed curly hair, no glasses, like
• 1:17:37
  kind of minimal makeup. So she looks super different to
• 1:17:42
  me. I recognized Velma right away.
• 1:17:44
  Maybe it's because it's the same time period as could we do.
• 1:17:48
  Maybe so. We take ourselves out of the
• 1:17:51
  court scene for a little bit to check in on Paulette at the nail
• 1:17:54
  salon and. What is Paulette ready to do?
• 1:17:57
  Spencer? She's ready to put the abandoned
• 1:18:00
  snap in practice and. In action and she does it
• 1:18:04
  perfectly. There's just a little little
• 1:18:07
  snafu. Is it perfect though?
• 1:18:10
  I mean, she did break his those. She lands it perfectly, however,
• 1:18:16
  the UPS man, being the wonderful individual he is, also bends
• 1:18:21
  down to pick up the pen she intentionally dropped.
• 1:18:25
  And her head bangs him so hard in the face that she breaks his
• 1:18:29
  nose. I Yeah, that's so funny because
• 1:18:33
  the UPS guy is such a classy guy.
• 1:18:35
  He bends down to grab the pen. We did not put this into the
• 1:18:38
  equation when we were talking about the bend and snap.
• 1:18:41
  No. What happens if he's a good guy
• 1:18:44
  and he gets the pen for you? Like he is such a classy guy.
• 1:18:47
  He's been like put in and out there, but waiting for her to
• 1:18:50
  make the first move so that like.
• 1:18:52
  He knows it's mutual. And then she drops her pen and
• 1:18:56
  he's like, oh, I got it. She breaks his nose.
• 1:18:59
  Her landing though of the snap was perfect, though I like.
• 1:19:03
  Was perfect. She did it perfectly alright.
• 1:19:06
  You convinced me. She did it perfectly.
• 1:19:08
  We just didn't take an account that he's also a classy guy.
• 1:19:12
  Yes, and I love this transition from her perfect snap to eldest
• 1:19:18
  going. You broke his nose.
• 1:19:22
  Outside the courtroom, yeah. So Elle's in the hallways of
• 1:19:26
  this courtroom. She's getting me to go back in.
• 1:19:29
  And we we see Enrique, who is the pool boy.
• 1:19:34
  He's been on the stand saying him and Brooke have been having
• 1:19:38
  an affair. Very wearing a very sparkly
• 1:19:41
  shirt, I will say so. Picture of the Virgin Mary on
• 1:19:46
  the back. Yeah, And in my head I was like,
• 1:19:49
  HM that is a very interesting choice for this character, the
• 1:19:52
  pool boy. Yeah, and it plays into his
• 1:19:55
  character, I think. When Elle realizes that he's
• 1:19:58
  actually gay because he commented on her shoes.
• 1:20:02
  I read. Yeah.
• 1:20:02
  Because he cut her in the water fountain line, so she was
• 1:20:05
  tapping her shoes away. And he's like don't tap your
• 1:20:08
  last season shoes at me and I forget I forget what what brand
• 1:20:14
  they were. But he he knew the designer and
• 1:20:16
  she's like he's gay cuz straight guys don't know designers, which
• 1:20:20
  I'm like that's. That's not true.
• 1:20:22
  That's not true, but it works. Yeah.
• 1:20:24
  I mean, I get what she's going at, yeah.
• 1:20:28
  Brooke is wearing like an interesting halter chop with a
• 1:20:30
  choker on it. Very kind of sensual and I love
• 1:20:34
  it. She's just really like she might
• 1:20:36
  be going to prison soon. She's wearing all her favorite
• 1:20:38
  outfits to these courtroom scenes.
• 1:20:40
  She is. She is living it up in the
• 1:20:42
  courtroom, and Elle tells her revelation to her professor and
• 1:20:48
  to Emmett and the professor's just like I can't with you.
• 1:20:51
  Like it doesn't matter. But Emmett, and it knows why it
• 1:20:56
  matters. Yeah, Emmett tries it out on in
• 1:20:59
  the courtroom and it actually works out.
• 1:21:01
  I feel like they catch Enrique in LAA little bit there.
• 1:21:04
  Oh, they definitely catch Enrique in LA as his boyfriend
• 1:21:08
  storms out of the courtroom for denying that he is his.
• 1:21:12
  Boyfriend Chuck gets up and yells something and walks out.
• 1:21:16
  And I was just like, what is happening here?
• 1:21:19
  I love how Chuck. He was OK with this up to the
• 1:21:22
  point where, oh, you hadn't. You're lying that you had an
• 1:21:25
  affair. That's fine.
• 1:21:26
  That's fine. You're gonna deny me on the
• 1:21:28
  stand? I can't believe you.
• 1:21:31
  Why is Chuck even in the courtroom?
• 1:21:33
  If their plan were to work out, why is he just even here?
• 1:21:35
  It's just a risky choice of you, Chuck.
• 1:21:38
  Yeah, it really is. So now we go back to a scene
• 1:21:43
  which I. You know, we don't like the
• 1:21:45
  scene. We don't like this scene.
• 1:21:47
  Elle meets with Professor Callahan and he's fucking gross.
• 1:21:52
  He's gross. So Vivian's like, oh hey, like
• 1:21:56
  he wants to see you. She's being so nice to her.
• 1:21:59
  I was like, oh, OK goes into the office.
• 1:22:02
  He's like, let's discuss your future.
• 1:22:05
  And then feels her up. Disgusting.
• 1:22:09
  Vivian sees it and makes the assumption that Elle is about to
• 1:22:12
  sleep with their professor. But no.
• 1:22:15
  No she doesn't. Because she is a lady who knows
• 1:22:17
  what she is worth and that nobody, nothing is worse than
• 1:22:22
  doing what a creepy man wants you to to get a job and she
• 1:22:26
  quits. Yeah, on the spot.
• 1:22:28
  She's done. I'm out.
• 1:22:30
  That's just so gross. Yeah.
• 1:22:32
  She sees Emma on the way down. She's like, I'm out of here and
• 1:22:34
  he's like what she's like. He felt me up.
• 1:22:36
  I'm done. Poor Emma doesn't know what to
• 1:22:39
  do. Yeah, I felt even I was
• 1:22:41
  confused. I didn't see it coming because.
• 1:22:43
  You know, But once it happened, it added up to me the reason why
• 1:22:46
  he she's had all these opportunities almost kind of
• 1:22:49
  given to him, even though I feel like everything she's had so far
• 1:22:52
  is rightfully earned because she is one of the best law students.
• 1:22:56
  But it's almost all given to her because he's a fucking creep.
• 1:22:58
  And yeah, so gross, so gross. Vivian hates her again, but then
• 1:23:04
  the next day Emmett sets her straight when they have to break
• 1:23:07
  it to Brooke. That L is no longer part of her
• 1:23:10
  legal defense. Yeah, and Brooke is immediately
• 1:23:14
  annoyed. She hates Callahan already, but
• 1:23:17
  they come up with a plan. But this is not before we go
• 1:23:21
  back to the nail salon and Elle is having a breakdown, with
• 1:23:25
  Paulette talking about how disgusting Professor Callahan
• 1:23:29
  is. She's packed her car, ready to
• 1:23:31
  go back to California. But then we are saved by the
• 1:23:34
  fairy godmother herself, yeah? Holland Taylor turns around.
• 1:23:40
  And she's like, you're not going to let this one ruin your life.
• 1:23:43
  And if you are, you're not the girl I thought you were.
• 1:23:46
  Yes, that is her salon, where she gets her hair done and she's
• 1:23:50
  really in her classes. She's grown to respect Elle
• 1:23:53
  because Elle is putting the work in.
• 1:23:55
  She sees the brilliant student that Elle is.
• 1:23:59
  And I think instantly Holland Taylor's character is like, oh,
• 1:24:02
  we're not going to let this happen.
• 1:24:04
  This is what you're going to do. You're going to go back in there
• 1:24:07
  and you're going to kick Professor Callahan's and you're
• 1:24:10
  going to win this trial. It's all unsaid.
• 1:24:14
  It's all unsaid. That is exactly what Ella's
• 1:24:17
  going to do. So she walks into the courtroom
• 1:24:20
  as Brooke is firing Callahan and according to some Massachusetts
• 1:24:26
  law, which I don't know if it's real or if they made it up for
• 1:24:28
  the film. Doesn't matter.
• 1:24:30
  It doesn't matter. But so long as she has a
• 1:24:33
  licensed lawyer supervising her, she can act as Brooks Attorney.
• 1:24:39
  She can, and her outfit is just so brilliant.
• 1:24:44
  It's so good. So this is another one of those
• 1:24:46
  custom builds, and it's the first time you see her acting as
• 1:24:49
  a lawyer in Pink. Yeah, the first time.
• 1:24:53
  Elle has really come into her own.
• 1:24:55
  She has blended both of her worlds together.
• 1:24:57
  That entire lawyer world and Elle's world has become one is
• 1:25:02
  like she is the Super Elle. Just everything has built up to
• 1:25:07
  this moment and she is in her power color, which is pink.
• 1:25:11
  Yes, Sophie said that in this moment she needed to be the most
• 1:25:17
  herself. And that is a pink dress with a
• 1:25:20
  sparkly belt. This is it.
• 1:25:23
  I mean, it's like Cruella and her were like black and white
• 1:25:25
  wig. It is Captain America with his
• 1:25:28
  shield is Halston and his black turtleneck.
• 1:25:32
  This is Elle's moment. She is Elle Woods, and she's
• 1:25:35
  about to kick all your asses. Yep, Callahan's ready to watch
• 1:25:39
  her fail. The District Attorney is ready
• 1:25:41
  to watch her fail. Emmett is there to back her up.
• 1:25:45
  And Spencer? Who else is there to back her
• 1:25:47
  up? Everyone, I love it.
• 1:25:48
  Paulette is in this purple look, which I absolutely love.
• 1:25:52
  Her best friends show up and it's such a mess, but I love it.
• 1:25:56
  Her two friends show up, Margo and Serena, and Margo's look is
• 1:26:01
  brilliant. This red vinyl look absolutely
• 1:26:05
  brilliant. Serena's also wearing purple and
• 1:26:07
  they're like, Oh my gosh, we're here for your case.
• 1:26:11
  And she looks at the jury and she says, vote for Elle.
• 1:26:13
  I love, they're like, oh, so adorable.
• 1:26:16
  There's a judge in a jury in everything.
• 1:26:18
  It's like, well, yeah, of course there is.
• 1:26:22
  So brilliant. Also, Brooke is wearing this
• 1:26:26
  brilliant black suit and she has this really gold necklace
• 1:26:30
  hanging from her neck. She looks really good.
• 1:26:32
  Also, just everyone just brought their a game for this day.
• 1:26:35
  Like they knew that Elle was going to wrap this up with a
• 1:26:37
  bow. They don't know how, They just
• 1:26:39
  are very confident it's going to happen.
• 1:26:41
  Very confident. Elle, however, it's not so
• 1:26:44
  confident in herself at first. Kind of rambles on until she
• 1:26:49
  asked Chutney. OK, so like, what did you do
• 1:26:51
  earlier in the day before you were in the shower and came down
• 1:26:55
  to see your father dead? Spencer What did Chutney do the
• 1:26:59
  day her father died? She got a perm.
• 1:27:03
  And what is the cardinal rule of getting a perm?
• 1:27:06
  Now, I've never gotten a perm, but even I know you're not
• 1:27:10
  supposed to take a shower directly after gaining A perm.
• 1:27:13
  That doesn't make sense. Nope.
• 1:27:15
  And Elle explains why it doesn't make sense, and in her
• 1:27:19
  explanation gets Chutney to confess to the murder of her
• 1:27:24
  father. She is the murderer, Spencer.
• 1:27:26
  L literally goes into like the science of perms and uses all
• 1:27:30
  this like verbiage and keywords that I am not familiar with.
• 1:27:35
  But everyone's just like, oh oh oh OK, cool, cool, cool, cool.
• 1:27:39
  And you, you can see Chutney slowly breaking down because she
• 1:27:43
  realizes, like this is the one person who knew enough to figure
• 1:27:48
  out that I murdered my father. Even her lawyers like,
• 1:27:51
  surprised. Everyone's shocked and I just
• 1:27:55
  love it. It's so brilliant.
• 1:27:56
  Everyone goes wild. The judge just dismisses the
• 1:27:59
  case right away, which I think you know is probably fictional
• 1:28:03
  and she has the witness arrested right away.
• 1:28:05
  Also, I don't know if you could do that, but I I think they can
• 1:28:09
  probably dismiss the case. I don't know if they can arrest
• 1:28:13
  her right away, but they also just have like a probably taped
• 1:28:16
  confession. From chutney.
• 1:28:18
  I mean, it's coming. I just don't know if they could
• 1:28:20
  take him away. I have never been selected for a
• 1:28:24
  jury. Have you ever been in jury duty?
• 1:28:26
  I never had jury duty, thankfully.
• 1:28:28
  I've been in jury duty once and I just want to be selected so
• 1:28:32
  bad. But.
• 1:28:33
  My time has not come, but one day I just want to live like my
• 1:28:37
  courtroom television drama, fantasy and be on a jury.
• 1:28:41
  Just one day, One day, you will be the jury of somebody's peers.
• 1:28:44
  Yeah, if if you're a jury selector out there, just give me
• 1:28:48
  a chance. This is my time to show.
• 1:28:50
  I think having a podcast just disqualified us.
• 1:28:53
  You're. Gonna play this podcast at the
• 1:28:58
  Jury Selection. But then we get back into it,
• 1:29:03
  and this is one of my favorite scenes because Warner, of
• 1:29:06
  course, runs around a corner and he's like Elle, you're
• 1:29:09
  beautiful, you're brilliant. I love you so much like I've
• 1:29:12
  always loved you. You've always been the person I
• 1:29:14
  wanted to be with. Let's make this work.
• 1:29:16
  And Elle's basically just like, piss off, bro, you know?
• 1:29:20
  Yeah, no, she's like, I I don't need you anymore.
• 1:29:24
  I I got this on my own. Like, I can be my own lawyer and
• 1:29:28
  she throws it right back in his face.
• 1:29:30
  If I want to make partner at a law firm by 30, I can't have
• 1:29:34
  somebody holding me down. Yeah, I don't need a silly,
• 1:29:38
  ridiculous man like you. Yeah.
• 1:29:40
  It's perfect. It's like it's perfect.
• 1:29:42
  Everything we need to wrap up this movie, Yes, and it ends
• 1:29:47
  with their graduation where L is the class voted speaker.
• 1:29:52
  Oh yeah, it's so wonderful. And the speech that L gives,
• 1:29:56
  it's actually quite inspirational.
• 1:29:58
  I mean, I heard it twice. I.
• 1:30:00
  Can't recite it back for you, but in the moment, I was like,
• 1:30:03
  you know, these these are some real world words of
• 1:30:06
  encouragement. Yeah.
• 1:30:08
  And we find out her and Vivian are best friends.
• 1:30:12
  They're both graduating with honors.
• 1:30:15
  Paulette and the UPS guy are together, and they're having a
• 1:30:18
  baby. Warner is just without, without
• 1:30:23
  a woman on his arm. He is nothing.
• 1:30:25
  He did not graduate with our honors.
• 1:30:27
  He does not have a girlfriend or any job offers right out of law
• 1:30:31
  school. Yeah, he really floundered on
• 1:30:34
  this one. Yeah, he messed up.
• 1:30:37
  We will not end without mentioning one of the greatest
• 1:30:41
  costumes of this entire film is Bruiser and a little graduation
• 1:30:46
  cap. That was adorable.
• 1:30:48
  That was so adorable. He just pops up for a second in
• 1:30:52
  the graduation cap. I and, like, I love how
• 1:30:56
  everybody's there because Emmett's there, too.
• 1:30:58
  He quit Callahan's firm. He started his own.
• 1:31:01
  Him and him and Al are about to get engaged.
• 1:31:05
  It's wonderful. I just so perfect.
• 1:31:07
  It's such a great way to end it is.
• 1:31:09
  Did you see her parents too? No, I think I missed him.
• 1:31:13
  Actually her parents are there for a hot 2nd and like her dad
• 1:31:17
  he had like a martini with olives in the 1st and then he's
• 1:31:21
  there with his like martini. That's so funny because when I
• 1:31:24
  watched it, I watched it with her good friend Avija and she
• 1:31:27
  said ooh, look at the Martini and I I must have been typing
• 1:31:31
  notes on the podcast both times, but I missed that.
• 1:31:34
  Oh, I need to go back and watch it again.
• 1:31:37
  Yeah, it ends so perfectly. That's a great way to end a
• 1:31:40
  movie, and with that, that is the first Legally Blonde movie.
• 1:31:44
  Of costumes by Sophie the Rakoff.
• 1:31:47
  Yes, wonderful, wonderful film. Iconic film for both its story
• 1:31:54
  and its costumes. It was so good.
• 1:31:57
  I'm so glad we watched this. You know, it's such a classic
• 1:31:59
  film that's so beloved, and I understand it.
• 1:32:03
  Why? I mean, it holds the test of
• 1:32:05
  time. I had a good time watching this.
• 1:32:06
  And, you know, 20 years later and these costumes are still
• 1:32:10
  brilliant. I think they're.
• 1:32:12
  Defining of the early 2000s. Oh yeah, it's you watch this and
• 1:32:17
  it's like each era of fashion they have, they have pieces that
• 1:32:21
  are very of the time, but also very timeless.
• 1:32:23
  And that's what this film is filled with, the timeless
• 1:32:26
  classics of early 2000s fashion. She is such a brilliant female
• 1:32:32
  lead. Reese Witherspoon is.
• 1:32:34
  I love Elle Woods once again. We love Selma Blair and Jennifer
• 1:32:38
  Coolidge. But Speaking of leading female
• 1:32:41
  leads, Elizabeth, what is our next film that we're going to be
• 1:32:45
  watching? I'm so excited for this.
• 1:32:48
  I actually just saw it opening day.
• 1:32:50
  Spencer We are going to watch the long, long, long-awaited for
• 1:32:56
  and overdue Black Widow movie. Oh yeah, I cannot wait.
• 1:33:02
  I'm so excited. My Marvel nerd side of me is
• 1:33:06
  just like jumping with joy. I can't wait to see it and I
• 1:33:09
  can't wait to talk about it. It is a near perfect film.
• 1:33:13
  Oh, well, that's good to hear. If Elizabeth thinks a movie is
• 1:33:16
  near perfect, then it actually is near perfect because she does
• 1:33:20
  not give that judgment on just anything.
• 1:33:23
  I don't, you know, I don't. I have strong opinions.
• 1:33:28
