Speaker 1: Star Wars, so they kind of like bleeding Yeah, so
4:13
Speaker 1: you're just chiming and I might need you on the
4:15
Speaker 1: strong ending. But from what I call you know, the
4:19
Speaker 1: New Hope is our introduction to a young Loop Skywalker
4:22
Speaker 1: he's on a tattoo which is just like a desert planet,
4:26
Speaker 1: and he's like, man, this ship is boring, like tattoo
4:28
Speaker 1: black as fuck, but it's on his uncle like you
4:31
Speaker 1: gotta stay here, y'all because like we got rhubob season
4:33
Speaker 1: coming up and we need you for that harvest. And
4:36
Speaker 1: he's like, but there's a whole life out here off tattooing.
4:39
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to be like a real nigger and
4:41
Speaker 1: they're like nah. So then like robot shows up, like yo,
4:45
Speaker 1: oh ship, this is a random mass robot. It looks
4:47
Speaker 1: like what the hell? And then he touched robot and
4:50
Speaker 1: it's a message from a hot bitch that's like mad flies.
4:53
Speaker 1: So she's like, yo, I'm mad sexy and I'm asta
4:55
Speaker 1: stuck and he's like I'm gonna save this chick because
4:57
Speaker 1: i ain't got nothing else to do, and yeah. Yeah.
5:01
Speaker 1: So that brings us to about twenty minutes into then
5:05
Speaker 1: he's like, so he meets Obi Wan. Yeah, he beats
5:09
Speaker 1: Obi Wan and he's like everyone's like creeping around and
5:12
Speaker 1: he's like, who's this old crazy dude? And his aunt
5:14
Speaker 1: and his uncle know was obi Wan day? Like No,
5:16
Speaker 1: he's just a crazy old dude. They't been what we
5:19
Speaker 1: want to start to like being like, yo, man, I
5:21
Speaker 1: know you feel it like this places whack, you should
5:24
Speaker 1: be not at this place, and looks like, yo, you're crazy,
5:26
Speaker 1: but you making somebsense to me, you know what I mean?
5:29
Speaker 1: And so then everyone was like, yeah, I'm just tell
5:31
Speaker 1: you real, bro, like Jedies is real. I'm one of
5:34
Speaker 1: them niggas. I could teach you how to be one
5:36
Speaker 1: of them niggas because you've got the forcing you money in.
5:38
Speaker 1: And then looks like I'm down for that because this
5:40
Speaker 1: board is hell and I don't want to be picking
5:42
Speaker 1: rubobs my whole life. And then they go. So they
5:46
Speaker 1: go to most Nicely and they meet because the uh
5:49
Speaker 1: we forgot to mention the Empire, and there after the
5:52
Speaker 1: two droids that have come into Luke's possession to escape.
5:56
Speaker 1: So then they go and meet Han Solo and Youka,
6:00
Speaker 1: so yeah they did. They had a bounce because the
6:03
Speaker 1: Empire they always losing droids. They're always losing their droids
6:06
Speaker 1: with information and stuff. So they capture some Georys lost
6:10
Speaker 1: some Joys, and Joys have vital information. They're trying to
6:12
Speaker 1: get the Joys back. Luke gets a possession of joys.
6:15
Speaker 1: They got a bounce so over once like we got
6:18
Speaker 1: to dip dip dive or we want still feels the
6:20
Speaker 1: force and stuff like they move and shaking bumping a
6:23
Speaker 1: Han Solo and Chewbacca. Han Solo is like a bad
6:26
Speaker 1: as Galaxy like pirate like smuggles smuggler like bootlegger type dude.
6:33
Speaker 1: So he's making all types of bare looking nerve hurder.
6:37
Speaker 1: But that's just me, all right, I would say, Yeah,
6:39
Speaker 1: he's like a bootlegger of the galaxy. You know, theyking
6:42
Speaker 1: making slime deals, moving illegal contrabands around in the millennial
6:47
Speaker 1: millennial falcon with Chewbacca, you know what I'm saying, and
6:50
Speaker 1: looking them hook up and they just distracted Tons Solo
6:53
Speaker 1: from like his real naked task, you know what I mean.
6:55
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm not really here for all that. I
6:56
Speaker 1: just like to get money and fus y'all got me
7:00
Speaker 1: and all his other stuff, right, So they mean they
7:03
Speaker 1: link up with him and then but they get captured
7:05
Speaker 1: by the death Star. Yeah, doesn't like catching them and
7:08
Speaker 1: a little a little little like the rain their beam
7:12
Speaker 1: of control control. So then they have to like be
7:17
Speaker 1: all sneaky and they managed to like evade the like
7:21
Speaker 1: the stormtroopers for a hot minute, and then they beat
7:24
Speaker 1: some of them up. They do the old switcher. They
7:26
Speaker 1: put the store and trooper suits on because like that's
7:28
Speaker 1: how you break into stuff, and then they get up
7:30
Speaker 1: in there like yo, we would, y'all. But then when
7:32
Speaker 1: they get up in then they take their homes off
7:33
Speaker 1: like now we us. And then they go and rescue
7:36
Speaker 1: Princess Leah up out of that ship like, yo, girl,
7:39
Speaker 1: we knew he was up in hand. We came to
7:40
Speaker 1: get you. And Hans like, wait a minute, she's bad.
7:43
Speaker 1: I'm kind of glad I came on this trip. Yeah,
7:45
Speaker 1: but so it's Luke. It was like, oh I like
7:47
Speaker 1: her too. It was like I got a voted for
7:49
Speaker 1: they both go. They got and then so they managed
7:53
Speaker 1: to escape after some ruffles and scuffles, but not before
7:57
Speaker 1: there's a face off between Obi Wan and Darth Vader. Yes,
8:01
Speaker 1: and that's the that's the apprentice and the teacher getting
8:04
Speaker 1: it back on since we want to cut off all
8:07
Speaker 1: his limbs is stuff. If he's like, now I'm super ill,
8:10
Speaker 1: obi Wan, and I'm definitely gonna kill you because like
8:12
Speaker 1: I got so much anger towards you by man, and
8:15
Speaker 1: everyone's like, I know you're gonna kill me. That's how
8:17
Speaker 1: ill I am in the Force. Then I'm just chilling, bro,
8:20
Speaker 1: I'm ready to die. Baby. Then they go at it.
8:22
Speaker 1: He kills really kind of just lets it happen. And
8:25
Speaker 1: then he wants like, now I'm super dupid ill with
8:27
Speaker 1: the Force because I'm am the Force. He's a forced ghost,
8:32
Speaker 1: which we learn you see you're like, here's like voice over.
8:36
Speaker 1: He's like ghost voiceover later in the movie. But then
8:38
Speaker 1: you see his like ghost form. Yeah. So then, uh,
8:43
Speaker 1: Luke is all sad about it, even though he knew
8:46
Speaker 1: Obi Wan for maybe a day, like two days, but
8:49
Speaker 1: we won't put him on a lot, so that's reasonable
8:51
Speaker 1: that he was hurt by it. So and then plus
8:54
Speaker 1: like Luke's just like Yo, Vader is not a good dude.
8:56
Speaker 1: Like he's just out heads thatching up hose off the galaxy.
8:59
Speaker 1: Now he just killed on my man's He's doing a
9:01
Speaker 1: lot of reckless stuff. Yeah. So then they regroup and
9:04
Speaker 1: they go to a rebel base and they like analyze
9:07
Speaker 1: the plans to destroy the Death Star. Meanwhile, Han, it's
9:11
Speaker 1: all like I was listening this for the money I
9:13
Speaker 1: got my money, I got my reward, peace out, see
9:16
Speaker 1: you later. And then Luke and some other pilots go
9:19
Speaker 1: and try to destroy the death Star and they do
9:23
Speaker 1: right they do, and then I said, and they blow
9:26
Speaker 1: it up. Han comes back and he's like just kidding him, back,
9:29
Speaker 1: I've got a heart of gold. He's I can't leave.
9:32
Speaker 1: I can't leave a heaven left, which is the same thing.
9:35
Speaker 1: And um, this episode seven friends come out, I can't
9:40
Speaker 1: be here. I gotta leave because these people they just like, no,
9:42
Speaker 1: I can't leave my boot. Hang out with my boot.
9:45
Speaker 1: And that's why Hans kind of his medt to it,
9:46
Speaker 1: because Hans like, I used to try to leave my
9:48
Speaker 1: host too. But I'm gonna tell you I did not
9:52
Speaker 1: do that, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, because you're
9:55
Speaker 1: not a Jedi doesn't mean you can't train other people
9:59
Speaker 1: to do. It's really fitting in the same position as Hunt.
10:01
Speaker 1: He's not a Jedi either. He's just rolling with it.
10:03
Speaker 1: He's just rolling, you know what I'm saying. So he's
10:05
Speaker 1: kind of the same character, just in a different form.
10:07
Speaker 1: So that's why it's kind of like bringing on his tutelage,
10:10
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yep, I got you so
10:12
Speaker 1: that's pretty much the Star. And then they blow up
10:14
Speaker 1: the Death Star and then there's a little ceremony at
10:16
Speaker 1: the end with that T shirt and they yeah, they do,
10:20
Speaker 1: they blow it up. And that's when like, now Vader
10:23
Speaker 1: has to like recognize like, y'all the forces with the forces,
10:28
Speaker 1: this disruption of force and the and the life side
10:31
Speaker 1: of forces, you know, coming back, and that the Jedi
10:36
Speaker 1: may return. Oh shit, but there's a whole movie in
10:41
Speaker 1: between that and the Jedi returning Empire. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
10:45
Speaker 1: but we're not here. We're not We're going. Yeah, we're
10:49
Speaker 1: gonna focus on a new hope. We're talking about this
10:52
Speaker 1: to sort of coincide with the release of Rogue one,
10:56
Speaker 1: which is coming out soon. So we're gonna talk about
11:00
Speaker 1: the female characters, of which there are two ones with
11:05
Speaker 1: speaking roles. And then I don't know if anyone else
11:09
Speaker 1: noticed this. I didn't notice this until this recent viewing.
11:12
Speaker 1: There are two women in the Cantina scene when they're
11:17
Speaker 1: at most easily trying to get on the Millennium falcon.
11:19
Speaker 1: Are we counting alien women as well? Well? It's hard
11:24
Speaker 1: since we're not familiar with those alien species, it's hard
11:27
Speaker 1: to tell some of them got titties though, so you know,
11:29
Speaker 1: oh yeah, well yeah they do in Return of the
11:32
Speaker 1: Jedi for sure. In fact, some of them had more
11:37
Speaker 1: than two titties. Some of them had like Nate. But
11:43
Speaker 1: in a New Hope, you only see in that cantina
11:46
Speaker 1: seem there's a like a pair of twins women who
11:50
Speaker 1: are just hanging out getting drink or whatever. Other than that,
11:54
Speaker 1: there is Princess Leia, and there's Aunt Brew and Brew
11:59
Speaker 1: has maybe five minutes of screen. Yeah, She's like, you
12:03
Speaker 1: don't need to know anything about your life, Luke. That's
12:08
Speaker 1: more his uncle, so Brew is. She kind of stays
12:13
Speaker 1: silent until the end of that scene where Luke kind
12:16
Speaker 1: of storms off. He's like, what you're making me stay
12:18
Speaker 1: on for another season? I want to go to the
12:20
Speaker 1: academy this year. Me me. His uncle is all like whatever,
12:25
Speaker 1: I'll make it up to him next year, and she's like,
12:27
Speaker 1: you're fucking idiot. He has too much of his father. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
12:31
Speaker 1: that's actually she's pro let him go. Yeah, that's right.
12:36
Speaker 1: You all messed up. So that's pretty cool. But yeah,
12:39
Speaker 1: like and then the next scene time we see her,
12:41
Speaker 1: she's a burnt up corpse. That's like all fried and sizzled. Yeah, yeah,
12:46
Speaker 1: she has very little got that work. So the most
12:50
Speaker 1: notable female character is our friend Princess Leah. She's actually
12:53
Speaker 1: introduced really early on in the story. We meet her
12:57
Speaker 1: before we get Skywalker. No, even before that. There's a
13:00
Speaker 1: scene the first sequence we see is the like Imperial
13:05
Speaker 1: troops boarding I don't even know which ship they're on
13:08
Speaker 1: or whatever, but like, uh, Darth Vader. I almost hesitated
13:14
Speaker 1: to do an episode about Star Wars because there's gonna
13:16
Speaker 1: be so many nerds listening at home and being like, oh,
13:18
Speaker 1: the name of the ship is this, and it's this
13:20
Speaker 1: model and this they're on this planet, blah blah blah,
13:22
Speaker 1: and I know what happened. I only know the Star
13:30
Speaker 1: Wars information I have is what has been in episodes
13:36
Speaker 1: one through seven. I haven't read any comic books. I
13:39
Speaker 1: don't know anything that's cannon that has been established through
13:43
Speaker 1: like we're fans. Yeah exactly. Sometimes I have sex very
13:49
Speaker 1: very not just watching, not very often, not very often
13:52
Speaker 1: at all, but often enough where I don't have time
13:56
Speaker 1: to read busy so anyway, so I only know like
14:05
Speaker 1: the names of the planets that are mentioned in the movie. Yeah, yeah,
14:08
Speaker 1: I'm not all into I know what's going on, and
14:10
Speaker 1: I'm into the story of it, the battle vers and
14:13
Speaker 1: evil and the idea of you being in control of
14:17
Speaker 1: your energies and your destiny and all that good stuff,
14:19
Speaker 1: but I don't get down to all the like nay
14:21
Speaker 1: gritty details. So apologies to all the uber fans out there. Sorry,
14:26
Speaker 1: I'm probably not gonna like get all the names right
14:28
Speaker 1: everything anyway. So they're they're boarding the ship and Darth
14:32
Speaker 1: Vader busting. He's like, oh, you're a rebel spot She's like,
14:35
Speaker 1: I'm on a diplomatic mission to all. Yeah, that's you're
14:39
Speaker 1: a rebel spy and your piece of ship have come fight.
14:43
Speaker 1: And then I think that's when he takes her prisoner's again.
14:47
Speaker 1: We learned though that she's like able to wield a
14:49
Speaker 1: gun though, because and then she runs away and they're like, fusers,
14:53
Speaker 1: just done or whatever, and then they stun her and
14:55
Speaker 1: then they take her prisoner so that she does not
14:58
Speaker 1: appear on screen again, I don't think until fifty four
15:04
Speaker 1: minutes into and we're not talking about via Holograu, so yeah,
15:08
Speaker 1: technically she's on screen when she's Okay. Our other host,
15:12
Speaker 1: Jamie lock welcome, How are you my hamsters in? Safe
15:19
Speaker 1: and good? Oh yeah, you had to drop off your
15:22
Speaker 1: hamster for hamster sitting because you're going back out of
15:24
Speaker 1: town expectedly long hamster errand yeah, well I had to
15:29
Speaker 1: make small talk with the hamster city, like I can't
15:31
Speaker 1: just be like, here's my animals, see you in a week.
15:33
Speaker 1: But oh sure, sure you're a good person. I'm just
15:39
Speaker 1: a bad driver. Mostly we're good. We've been um, we've
15:44
Speaker 1: been chatting Star Wars good. So yeah, we were just
15:47
Speaker 1: we recapped the movie and we were just starting to
15:50
Speaker 1: introduce who the female characters were. We uh, there are
15:53
Speaker 1: a total of I think for them that I counted
15:56
Speaker 1: that you can see on screen. Only two of them
15:58
Speaker 1: have speaking roles. And we were just talking about Princess Leiah.
16:02
Speaker 1: We meet her early on and then we see her
16:04
Speaker 1: again as a hologram, and that's when Luke is all like,
16:07
Speaker 1: who is she? She's beautiful? Do I know she's my sister?
16:11
Speaker 1: But man, do I want to fuck her? We've all
16:14
Speaker 1: been there, We've in there. She's the most notable female
16:19
Speaker 1: character in episode four, but there are huge chunks of
16:22
Speaker 1: time where she is not on screen at all or
16:25
Speaker 1: if she is, she's in the version of a hologram,
16:27
Speaker 1: which means she's not really doing anything to influence the story.
16:30
Speaker 1: She's like, he's like an exposition the machine, because what
16:35
Speaker 1: does she say, first, we only hearsay helped me. I'll
16:38
Speaker 1: be one Kenobi, You're my only hope. And then a
16:39
Speaker 1: little later on they play back the entire message, which
16:42
Speaker 1: is like, I've stored information that's vital to the destruction
16:45
Speaker 1: of the death Star into this droid. Help me obi
16:48
Speaker 1: wan Kenobi. Yeah, she's a plot tool. Yeah, at least
16:52
Speaker 1: in the first act. She appears on screen again, not until,
16:57
Speaker 1: like I said, fifty four minutes into the movie, because
17:02
Speaker 1: there's a huge gap where like Luke and Han or
17:05
Speaker 1: like figuring shut out. She shows up again, and I
17:08
Speaker 1: think like the Empire is interrogating her, trying to figure
17:11
Speaker 1: out where the rebel bases, and she's like d'antoine and
17:15
Speaker 1: they're like, okay, let's blow up all drawn anyway, Um,
17:19
Speaker 1: that seems pretty short, and then she disappears again for
17:23
Speaker 1: another several minutes and doesn't show up again until an
17:25
Speaker 1: hour and thirteen minutes into the story. Mind you, this
17:29
Speaker 1: is only a two hour film and that's when that's three. Yeah,
17:33
Speaker 1: so this is like their for their third time on
17:35
Speaker 1: screen an hour and thir minutes into it, and that's
17:38
Speaker 1: when Luke goes to rescue her in the detention cell
17:42
Speaker 1: that she's being held captain him. So an instance of
17:45
Speaker 1: a man having to save a woman, one of those
17:49
Speaker 1: really fun tropes. She joins the gang after that, she's
17:53
Speaker 1: like part of the Little Scooby Crew and we see
17:57
Speaker 1: her do some pretty bad ass things, but she's pretty
18:01
Speaker 1: she's pretty raged. The end kind of redeems her a
18:04
Speaker 1: little bit because she gets to actually do stuff. For example,
18:08
Speaker 1: after they've rescued her, the stormtroopers are shooting at them
18:11
Speaker 1: and she's like, well, you didn't have a get out?
18:15
Speaker 1: What the And then so she like takes putters into
18:17
Speaker 1: her own hands and she's like, oh, this is some rescue.
18:20
Speaker 1: She grabs Luke's blaster fire, she shoots a hole in
18:30
Speaker 1: the wall. Somebody has to save our skins. It doesn't
18:33
Speaker 1: make a door come down, and she just blasted. She
18:39
Speaker 1: dives in. She goes into the garbage shoot boy. She
18:43
Speaker 1: says to han Clo, which is great, and then everyone
18:47
Speaker 1: dives in and then they end up in a thing
18:49
Speaker 1: with the trash. And then when they're in there, the
18:53
Speaker 1: walls whenever women take charts, they mucket all as we
19:00
Speaker 1: are conditioned to believe via mainstream American cinema. And there's
19:06
Speaker 1: a line of dialogue about that, but I'll get to
19:07
Speaker 1: that in a second. So then they all land in
19:09
Speaker 1: the trash compactor and then the walls start closing in
19:12
Speaker 1: on them, and Lucas just like, dude, the walls are
19:16
Speaker 1: moving and she's like, don't just stand there, bracelet with something.
19:19
Speaker 1: So she was like taking initiative. She's like because she's
19:23
Speaker 1: been through stuff though, I mean, that would make sense.
19:25
Speaker 1: Like Luke doesn't know anything. He's just coming from Tatoy.
19:27
Speaker 1: He's like fresh off the boats. Like he just he
19:30
Speaker 1: just trying to get it popping, you know what I mean.
19:32
Speaker 1: She like, she's been through some stuff. She's hiding secrets,
19:35
Speaker 1: she's stolen stuff. She she goes up a little bit.
19:37
Speaker 1: She does, she does for sure. Then there's a line
19:40
Speaker 1: of dialogue that I never picked up on until this
19:44
Speaker 1: most recent viewing this rewatch, where after they get out
19:48
Speaker 1: of the trash compactor, Han says, well, if we can
19:50
Speaker 1: avoid any more female advice, we ought to be able
19:53
Speaker 1: to get out of here. Yeah, I was right because
19:55
Speaker 1: what I was thinking as I was thinking, yeah, yeah,
20:00
Speaker 1: way to pick that up the only one who did
20:02
Speaker 1: anything to like because she was moving irrationally. It didn't
20:07
Speaker 1: give Han time to think of a better plan. Han
20:09
Speaker 1: had no In fact, Han was either way, but she tried.
20:15
Speaker 1: She she made an attempt. Yeah, but that was also
20:19
Speaker 1: I think, like, I mean, of course it speaks to
20:21
Speaker 1: show it doesn't not that, But I also think it
20:23
Speaker 1: was com Hans's character, like he could never be wrong
20:26
Speaker 1: or not in charge. Sure, yeah, you know what I mean.
20:29
Speaker 1: He would have said anything to anyone. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
20:33
Speaker 1: exactly if it was Luke's I didn't, well, we could
20:35
Speaker 1: afford dumb kid IBox like true. But what bugged me
20:41
Speaker 1: about that was not just the line itself, but that
20:43
Speaker 1: like Leah wasn't like fuck you dude, she didn't have
20:49
Speaker 1: a com back for Her comeback was to deny him
20:53
Speaker 1: the pussy, Yeah, which is the ultimate. She was like me,
20:56
Speaker 1: hanging at this box, keep talking like talking like that,
21:00
Speaker 1: She's gonna go her brother. That's hurtful. You're like, I
21:04
Speaker 1: don't want to. You said, it's revenge. She made a
21:10
Speaker 1: work harder for it. There's a couple of scenes later
21:14
Speaker 1: they're trying to get across the bridge. They're still in
21:16
Speaker 1: the Death Star. Luke is like doing crap. He's I
21:19
Speaker 1: don't who knows what he's doing. The Stormtroopers are like
21:22
Speaker 1: trying to get through the door on the other side.
21:24
Speaker 1: She takes the gun and starts like shooting people, and
21:26
Speaker 1: she's a better shot than Han or Luke because everybody
21:30
Speaker 1: misses everybody every time they shoot it somewhere like these
21:34
Speaker 1: people have the worst aim. I was confused about that
21:37
Speaker 1: because when I was like, does it not hurt if
21:40
Speaker 1: you get hit by one of those? But I was like, oh,
21:41
Speaker 1: they're just missing everybody. No one can It was like
21:45
Speaker 1: sucking paintballers. Which is hilarious because earlier in the movie,
21:49
Speaker 1: Obi Wan's like, only Imperial Troopers are this precise because
21:53
Speaker 1: they're talking about like the little they're not ewoks, they're
21:58
Speaker 1: like the little dudes. At the beginning anyway, you're talking
22:02
Speaker 1: about the precision of the fire blast, and he's like,
22:04
Speaker 1: the only Stormtroopers are this precise. It's like, no, no
22:07
Speaker 1: one hits anybody ever. Yeah, it's dumb. Anyway, I'm just
22:13
Speaker 1: the point. I'm trying to arrive at is that like
22:17
Speaker 1: on a number of occasions, like Lea takes matters into
22:20
Speaker 1: her own hands and it's like, oh, you're not getting
22:23
Speaker 1: this done fast enough or well enough, then I'm going
22:25
Speaker 1: to do ship. So I do like that, right, And
22:28
Speaker 1: it doesn't bother me that she sucks up the plants
22:32
Speaker 1: of yeah, because it's like, I don't know, I always
22:35
Speaker 1: feel weird when it's I feel like that's almost like
22:37
Speaker 1: a trope in movies where it's like the one woman
22:39
Speaker 1: in the scene is like, move aside, boys, I've got this,
22:43
Speaker 1: you know, and then she fucking and she does yeah
22:46
Speaker 1: exactly like changes like the fucking monster truck tire but
22:54
Speaker 1: a negligent on her perfect and she's like, I know
22:58
Speaker 1: what to do, and her nail and makes like a rope. Yeah.
23:02
Speaker 1: And at the end, the guys like have their mouths
23:05
Speaker 1: up and she's like, you know, that wasn't hard, was it? Yeah?
23:09
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, No, it doesn't bother me at all
23:11
Speaker 1: that she like she like put them into more of
23:14
Speaker 1: a because that's what storytelling is, Like, Yeah, it just
23:17
Speaker 1: felt it, Yeah, to get it right, Characters getting into
23:21
Speaker 1: hi jinks, encountering obstacles, trying to figure out how to
23:25
Speaker 1: overcome those obstacles. So yeah, like a character is going
23:27
Speaker 1: to make a mistake and that's what storytelling is. So yeah,
23:31
Speaker 1: Leiah takes initiative, she like takes action. She makes decisions
23:36
Speaker 1: that influence the direction the story takes. So that's what
23:39
Speaker 1: I like about her. And she's pretty good at hurling
23:42
Speaker 1: insults too. She's like, get this walking carpet out of
23:45
Speaker 1: my way. So she's a little firecracker she is. What
23:50
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say is that I like Princess Leiah.
23:53
Speaker 1: I think she's a pretty good character. The problem is
23:56
Speaker 1: all of her relationships are like there, no, she has
23:59
Speaker 1: no female relationships. She's the literally the only woman in
24:04
Speaker 1: space and all the time because any scenes where there's
24:07
Speaker 1: like a bunch of extras, if there's like pilots or rebels,
24:10
Speaker 1: maybe there's some ladies stormtroopers we don't know, and all
24:16
Speaker 1: on a cloud planet you say specifically for this movie,
24:19
Speaker 1: but we're talking talking about um yeah, um. And there
24:25
Speaker 1: was there was a question, Oh it's Chewy is he
24:28
Speaker 1: maybe he's a she? Wrong? That's wrong? And also what
24:33
Speaker 1: a fucking stretched is a second female? And also Chewy
24:38
Speaker 1: couldn't pass the back Tilton, Well, I guess maybe. Well, yeah,
24:41
Speaker 1: we don't really, Well, we don't know what he talks
24:43
Speaker 1: about because we're talking about him. Man, he could be
24:46
Speaker 1: talking about ice fishing. We don't know. We don't know,
24:48
Speaker 1: we don't, but we do know that he is in
24:51
Speaker 1: fact a male because if you recall the Star Wars
24:55
Speaker 1: Christmas special that came out. I don't remember what ear
24:59
Speaker 1: early eighties or late seven it's oh, it's so it's
25:04
Speaker 1: about Chewie's family. He has a wife and three kids.
25:09
Speaker 1: I think, And I don't remember what the story is. Yeah,
25:12
Speaker 1: Like I like all this so hilariously bad. I mean
25:17
Speaker 1: you should watch it. Just it's like, like is it
25:20
Speaker 1: like like he's just like chilling with his family. I
25:22
Speaker 1: think he's trying to get back home to his family.
25:25
Speaker 1: They all speak that language, and that's just a long
25:28
Speaker 1: show that no one he's like TOI and his wife
25:36
Speaker 1: getting into this stuff. Luke is definitely in it. And
25:41
Speaker 1: I want to say, like Mark Mark camill As, when
25:44
Speaker 1: did this come out? Now? I'm excited, Yeah, I am
25:48
Speaker 1: dB A can't it's so and I want to say
25:51
Speaker 1: that I can't remember Harrison Ford as Han is in
25:55
Speaker 1: it or not. It's a show. It was like a
25:59
Speaker 1: made for TV movie. It's on YouTube, so oh yeah,
26:04
Speaker 1: that is how I watched it. Okay, so it came
26:06
Speaker 1: out right after because episode four was released in nine,
26:11
Speaker 1: so that I love a weird hackey tie in my face.
26:18
Speaker 1: Bottom line is Chewy as a man because he fucked
26:22
Speaker 1: his wife and had three babies. It might not be
26:27
Speaker 1: and maybe not. He's away a lot with n she's
26:34
Speaker 1: sucking some other strange wookie. Um. There's there's also a question,
26:40
Speaker 1: Oh well, maybe the droids or women also know because
26:44
Speaker 1: at least C three posts pretty clearly he's a feminist,
26:47
Speaker 1: but he's and then he talks about and two are
26:52
Speaker 1: too using like he him his pronouns. So one just
26:58
Speaker 1: I am seeing that they just like reaper dudes like worms.
27:00
Speaker 1: There's just like another guy that pops out of a guy,
27:04
Speaker 1: because there's no other way. If it's just Luke's and Leah,
27:09
Speaker 1: they can't fucking populate a galaxy. Right, Yeah, it's pretty
27:13
Speaker 1: and like sure it's a movie about it's Star Wars.
27:18
Speaker 1: There at war and it was a long time ago,
27:21
Speaker 1: so back you know, in World War two, even back
27:24
Speaker 1: when they're only men in the world, or at least
27:28
Speaker 1: like men's soldiers. I don't know when women started being
27:33
Speaker 1: soldiers in in the military, but maybe it's just since
27:37
Speaker 1: they're all A lot of them are like militant, but
27:39
Speaker 1: there's also a rebellion like a woman, like anyone can
27:42
Speaker 1: join a rebellion. It is supposed to know a long
27:47
Speaker 1: time ago in a galaxy far it's the past, way
27:51
Speaker 1: in the past, this fictional story that did never exist.
27:55
Speaker 1: Maybe they were having like their own industrial revolution, you know,
28:00
Speaker 1: was like always got it was the future, but like
28:02
Speaker 1: a long time ago of like the beginning stories. I
28:08
Speaker 1: don't know what. Yeah, because it's the middle stories, I
28:16
Speaker 1: thought it was a long time ago like two requels. Oh,
28:23
Speaker 1: I mean those stories take place, but I just never
28:26
Speaker 1: I never really, I always assumed it was the future. Yeah,
28:29
Speaker 1: the opening the title car that doesn't make any sense.
28:33
Speaker 1: We don't have any of that stuff. We can't flower.
28:34
Speaker 1: In fact, it might be long long No, it's a
28:36
Speaker 1: long time ago in a galaxy far far away. So
28:40
Speaker 1: it's just far away. But I think that's up. I'm
28:45
Speaker 1: gonna go and say I think that's an up. And
28:47
Speaker 1: I can't wrap my hat around this. Well, it's the truth.
28:51
Speaker 1: So yeah, back when women didn't exist except for one
28:54
Speaker 1: of them. All right, well in that case, sure. Yeah.
29:03
Speaker 1: And the other thing about Leia is that when she's
29:05
Speaker 1: talked about in pop culture or just like any when
29:09
Speaker 1: people talk about her, it's almost always in the context
29:11
Speaker 1: of her slave La outfit. People like, oh, yeah, slave La,
29:15
Speaker 1: she's hot. I'd bang that. We don't talk about her accomplishments,
29:19
Speaker 1: the fact that she's a diplomat, a politician, and a prince.
29:23
Speaker 1: She led an army and she can fire a gun,
29:26
Speaker 1: and she makes choices and sticks with them. We don't
29:30
Speaker 1: talk about that, do we know? But it is a
29:33
Speaker 1: good costume. She's got like the most insane abs ever,
29:40
Speaker 1: Like it's not fair. Oh yeah, I do long to
29:44
Speaker 1: have that. Okay, I'm objectifying her, But also, like I
29:47
Speaker 1: thought about it, how does she do that? I mean
29:51
Speaker 1: I objectify Han Solo on a pretty regular basis. So yeah,
29:55
Speaker 1: like that, like young Harrison Ford, Yeah, what is wrong
29:58
Speaker 1: with you? What do you mean? I want you to
29:59
Speaker 1: get out side more? There? Mark, I couldn't be less
30:05
Speaker 1: on board with. Even when Harrison for was in that movie,
30:08
Speaker 1: he looked like a dead there, like he wasn't hot dad,
30:14
Speaker 1: but he was like a dead though. He wasn't like
30:16
Speaker 1: giving you young sexy vibes. He wasn't maybe definitely give
30:21
Speaker 1: me like dead maybe not. I don't know. He got
30:26
Speaker 1: kind of a later start to acting, so he was
30:28
Speaker 1: already like thirty five ish, Yeah, yeah he was. He
30:31
Speaker 1: looked dead ish. Yeah, that's dead. Even like when he
30:34
Speaker 1: was like liking lay, I was like, you too old
30:36
Speaker 1: for her, bro, I will say, you know what I mean,
30:38
Speaker 1: like you all dude out here trying to trying to
30:40
Speaker 1: scheme something young. Didn't Carrie Fisher say that she and
30:43
Speaker 1: Harrison Ford like hooked up. Wasn't not like a reason?
30:45
Speaker 1: Yeah that story? She was like a teenager? Was she sure?
30:52
Speaker 1: That's fucked um? In Hollywood? You could do that that
30:58
Speaker 1: pain and pain into a long She was nineteen, he's
31:01
Speaker 1: just four and this movie came out in seventies. She
31:04
Speaker 1: was like, one, right, that's true for dad pain. Yeah,
31:13
Speaker 1: it's not for everyone. She's a consenting adult that anyway,
31:20
Speaker 1: we statement retracted. That's the thing. There's so because she's
31:26
Speaker 1: the only like notable female character, and I think there's
31:29
Speaker 1: no female relationships for her to have. All the notable
31:33
Speaker 1: relationships are between men or a man and her. So
31:38
Speaker 1: it's nice of you to car Oh my gosh, I
31:40
Speaker 1: care so much because you've got like Luke and Obi Wan.
31:43
Speaker 1: It's like the mentor mentee relationship. You've got Luke and Han,
31:48
Speaker 1: which is like a budding friendship thing. You've got Han
31:52
Speaker 1: and Chewi, which is like sidekick that that relationship is
31:57
Speaker 1: more compelling than any relationship. Yeah, it's like, oh yeah,
32:02
Speaker 1: Hans Solo and his fucking huge dog have a more
32:05
Speaker 1: interesting storyline. Yeah, it's upsetting. And then her relationships are
32:12
Speaker 1: basically she has one with Luke, which is that he
32:15
Speaker 1: wants to suck her, and she has one with Han,
32:17
Speaker 1: which is that he wants to suck her and also
32:20
Speaker 1: this movie. But yeah, but he also wants to her.
32:24
Speaker 1: But how that's the question he has that tail. I'm
32:30
Speaker 1: sure there's plenty of like fan porn that would explain Polis,
32:35
Speaker 1: but I'm not in the mood for that rabbit hole. No,
32:38
Speaker 1: you might have like a whale dick, like it comes
32:40
Speaker 1: out like over and just slimy dick underneath all that.
32:50
Speaker 1: I think who knows that you have you ever seen blackfish? Yeah?
32:55
Speaker 1: They jerked a whale off that was so necessarily Yeah,
32:58
Speaker 1: I don't forget. Apparently we didn't need to see that, no,
33:02
Speaker 1: and it didn't add to this story. Yea, what is
33:05
Speaker 1: this yo? They're like, all right, let's get the stomach
33:08
Speaker 1: turn and just think. Yeah, I haven't seen that movie
33:11
Speaker 1: in a couple of years me either. Although apparently in nature,
33:14
Speaker 1: when whales have sex there has to be a third
33:17
Speaker 1: whale there to like prop up one of them while
33:21
Speaker 1: like kinky, Yeah, there's a this is true. This is
33:27
Speaker 1: you're just like, no, this is information that I gleaned
33:32
Speaker 1: from a joke of a link on Mitra, a very
33:35
Speaker 1: funny comic we all know. Check him out. He had
33:38
Speaker 1: a joke about whales having sex and how there has
33:41
Speaker 1: to be a third to like prop up the other
33:44
Speaker 1: ones as they're sucking each other because there's no you're
33:47
Speaker 1: you're suspended in water. There's like nothing, there's no like
33:49
Speaker 1: headboard to brace yourself again. But they have dicks though,
33:53
Speaker 1: that's true, that's so much. Sex is important in everything.
33:57
Speaker 1: As we mentioned earlier, sometimes I do have it every
34:00
Speaker 1: once in a while. So I think we can draw
34:04
Speaker 1: and then draw the conclusion that the movie does not
34:08
Speaker 1: pass the Bechdel test, not even not even close. A
34:12
Speaker 1: few movies do it, and they like do the very
34:14
Speaker 1: bare minimum of them. This one doesn't even try, does
34:17
Speaker 1: not try at all. So funk this movie not I
34:21
Speaker 1: mean I really like it. It's I've seen it, you know,
34:26
Speaker 1: a dozen times or more, but only on this viewing
34:30
Speaker 1: was I like, oh, wow, there's only one lady who
34:34
Speaker 1: matters in this story. And I like, so, what do
34:37
Speaker 1: you think? It's like a thing where it's like, okay,
34:39
Speaker 1: so that was just the time, you know, and like
34:41
Speaker 1: how now you have like the female Ghostbusters movie, you
34:43
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like do you think and like
34:45
Speaker 1: how they're trying to make a woman a lead in
34:48
Speaker 1: these new Star Wars, you know what I mean. It's
34:51
Speaker 1: like the time sucked because I feel like at the time,
34:54
Speaker 1: probably no one had a second thought about that, Like
34:56
Speaker 1: that was just for sure. Yeah, the Patriarch they I
35:00
Speaker 1: thought it was progressive because I was shooting in the
35:04
Speaker 1: movie and she was doing were like, we are breaking
35:07
Speaker 1: down bars the pitch meeting. We're going to have a movie.
35:11
Speaker 1: But guess what we're gonna put a woman in. It
35:14
Speaker 1: is very incest forward story, right boundaries being Yeah, he
35:19
Speaker 1: was he was doing it all. Yeah, there's some Freudian
35:22
Speaker 1: ship in there, because it's like like in episode seven,
35:27
Speaker 1: Ray is the lead, the Protagon will call her short
35:31
Speaker 1: for protagonists, an industry term. What movie still very barely
35:40
Speaker 1: passes the Bechtel test. Really, I haven't seen that she
35:45
Speaker 1: has a very quick conversation with general requirements of this.
35:51
Speaker 1: So the Bechtel test is that there has to be
35:53
Speaker 1: two female characters in the movie that ideally both have names,
35:57
Speaker 1: that talk about something other than a man in a conversation,
36:01
Speaker 1: and that's all. That's all it is. Like, so even
36:03
Speaker 1: if there's like something where two women talk about the
36:06
Speaker 1: weather for two seconds, like, it technically passes. So it's
36:10
Speaker 1: not hard to it's not hard. But most movies don't
36:13
Speaker 1: pass it because in most cases, if there are even
36:17
Speaker 1: two female characters who speak to each other, it's usually
36:20
Speaker 1: about a male character or a man in the middle
36:24
Speaker 1: or something. They're talking about a man devil wis product
36:27
Speaker 1: the passes probably like mad they would talk about types
36:31
Speaker 1: of right away. I love Man. It was such a
36:34
Speaker 1: good movie so much. Only now I'm just seas I
36:38
Speaker 1: think a movie like movies, it's not I mean, there's
36:41
Speaker 1: what they talk they let the let he just talk
36:45
Speaker 1: um not many sister yeah, yeah, sisterhood yeah probably. I
36:53
Speaker 1: haven't seen The Fried Green Tomatoes you ever. I've seen it,
37:00
Speaker 1: don't remember well enough to know if it passed through
37:02
Speaker 1: the flesh, which is funny at the end. Oh almost
37:06
Speaker 1: a joint with Adam Sandler in the Spanish Lady Spanglish
37:12
Speaker 1: good one it passes. Yes, really, I haven't seen it.
37:15
Speaker 1: I mean I could see her and our daughter. They
37:16
Speaker 1: talk about just everything. They're able to list five movies.
37:23
Speaker 1: There's a great uh, there's a great episode of Jane
37:26
Speaker 1: the Virgin. I love Jane the Virgin is bad, but
37:30
Speaker 1: it's a good show. But it's bad that I've seen
37:31
Speaker 1: it so many times. But they have like a whole
37:33
Speaker 1: storyline where the show is like actively trying to pass
37:36
Speaker 1: the Bechdel Test all the time, and it almost never does.
37:39
Speaker 1: But it becomes just a running joke that they're like,
37:42
Speaker 1: it's three main female characters and they never ever passed
37:46
Speaker 1: the test. They love those boys. I'm just shying thing
37:50
Speaker 1: mad women. At some point. There's at least six ladies
37:57
Speaker 1: in one of my favorite movies. Leah, Oh well, they
38:01
Speaker 1: never talked to each other. Oh shit, okay, because one
38:04
Speaker 1: of them is like living in the nineteen fifties or something,
38:07
Speaker 1: and the other one is a contemporary. I assumed all
38:10
Speaker 1: Meryl Street movies with past, but maybe not Sophie's choice.
38:14
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't remember that movie very well either. Um.
38:17
Speaker 1: One of my favorite movies is Selman Louise, and that
38:20
Speaker 1: passes absolutely. I'm trying to think of Florence Foster Jenkins passes.
38:25
Speaker 1: I don't I've seen it, seen it twice. I think
38:28
Speaker 1: I'm the only person who's ever seen Florence Foster Jenkins
38:31
Speaker 1: at all. Oh is that the one that came out
38:34
Speaker 1: pretty recently where she's like an opera singer but she's
38:37
Speaker 1: back with the dude from the Big Bang Theories in it,
38:39
Speaker 1: he plays the piano. I don't think it passes anyways.
38:42
Speaker 1: It's a good movie. I like it cool. What is
38:45
Speaker 1: it called floor? Florence Foster Jenkins? Check that out? So, yeah,
38:50
Speaker 1: a new Hope falls back because it was no other lady. No, Yeah,
38:53
Speaker 1: dang new Hope. Yeah, because some movies come close, it's like, oh, well,
38:56
Speaker 1: at least two women talk to each other, but that
38:58
Speaker 1: doesn't even happen here. She's just poor Leo got no
39:03
Speaker 1: other ladies, you know, because sometimes you got to talk
39:06
Speaker 1: about your periods. Do you do and just stuff space
39:10
Speaker 1: ladies have periods, yes, call Lucas Ranch you know. In fact,
39:14
Speaker 1: I think that Princess Leia is extraordinarily brave for wearing
39:19
Speaker 1: that white cloak all through the movie because she's bleeding
39:23
Speaker 1: at some point leakage balls. There might be some like
39:28
Speaker 1: ultra space, but it might be like so that's what
39:30
Speaker 1: I have to say. It might just not even because
39:32
Speaker 1: you see how it was given birth with the robots
39:36
Speaker 1: and it just wave on the stomach when she had
39:41
Speaker 1: Lea Luke three. Yeah, so yeah, she's still delivering the
39:45
Speaker 1: babies out of her uterus. But they might have some
39:48
Speaker 1: weird way to catch out a period blood like a
39:51
Speaker 1: period to like a probably do something weird when they're
39:56
Speaker 1: I don't want to actually can largely Nope, it's happened
40:01
Speaker 1: astronauts large period suppression, which is like just taking hormonal
40:04
Speaker 1: birth control so that they don't have their periods anymore.
40:07
Speaker 1: But it's kind of like if you're just floating around
40:11
Speaker 1: and then you're like, oh no, why do that? Just
40:16
Speaker 1: liary with well, they got to be able to oh yeah,
40:20
Speaker 1: how did they is that into like they were diapers
40:22
Speaker 1: and they pee into they pee into these like diaper
40:28
Speaker 1: things and there's some why do you read all? This
40:32
Speaker 1: was in Young Astronauts? Thank you very much? Did you
40:35
Speaker 1: get to spare door kid? What you are? Such? Every time?
40:42
Speaker 1: Every time I learned something news, I was deeper. I
40:46
Speaker 1: was in Young Astronauts, I was in Girl Scouts. I
40:49
Speaker 1: was in mock Trial. I was in mock Tracks Club.
40:51
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, what you do? Were you a lawyer? Yes? Nice?
40:55
Speaker 1: I was an expert witness. I was a psyche lame
40:58
Speaker 1: why why do you even the nerd thing? Like it
41:02
Speaker 1: was an expert with anyway, I was cool. I also
41:10
Speaker 1: played soccer. I was like a cool last job. Oh
41:14
Speaker 1: my god. I would push you all the time. And
41:16
Speaker 1: we were in the same school we were kids. Oh
41:18
Speaker 1: my god. I absolutely would have been my bully. I
41:23
Speaker 1: was like I bullied a lot of people, but I
41:25
Speaker 1: was like a loving bully. So like all my all
41:27
Speaker 1: my bullies like have love for me because I'm like,
41:30
Speaker 1: you're a loser. And then I'd like here's a here's
41:32
Speaker 1: a cool head, just cool trying to fix it. Like Montage.
41:40
Speaker 1: I was always like at least some stowe and clueless. Yeah,
41:46
Speaker 1: they were always like my ties. Oh okay, that's a
41:49
Speaker 1: good comparison. I ran into someone from high school the
41:53
Speaker 1: other day. It was bad. She was kind of she
41:55
Speaker 1: kind of still bullied me, like two nights ago, and
41:58
Speaker 1: she's getting twisted that knife. One time I was doing
42:01
Speaker 1: this show and like the one my one saving grades
42:04
Speaker 1: in high school was that I was on the dance team.
42:06
Speaker 1: Everything else unforcable dance team, okay, and uh, I would
42:09
Speaker 1: like I was the co captain with her classic two
42:12
Speaker 1: thousand tent very exciting, and then uh, she showed up
42:15
Speaker 1: at the show I did in San Francisco the other
42:17
Speaker 1: night with her like fiance, and they hated this show,
42:22
Speaker 1: like they absolutely hated it. And afterwards they're like, do
42:24
Speaker 1: you want to get top us? Which no, but I went.
42:28
Speaker 1: And then when we were there, her fiance was like,
42:32
Speaker 1: so were you guys like best friends in high school?
42:35
Speaker 1: And she was like not really, like we worked together
42:40
Speaker 1: at times, but like Jamie was doing her own thing,
42:44
Speaker 1: which is just code for you fucking sucked. It was like, man, still, yeah,
42:50
Speaker 1: I mean not wrong, but also why bring it up
42:52
Speaker 1: all this time like that? Why did Yeah? Why did
42:56
Speaker 1: you show up if you just wanted to tell me
42:58
Speaker 1: I suck. Appreciate the effort though, you know, it's like,
43:01
Speaker 1: thanks for supporting live comedy, you know. Yeah cool. So Yeah.
43:05
Speaker 1: In conclusion, this movie, uh, we rate it on a
43:08
Speaker 1: scale of one to zero to five nipples, and five
43:11
Speaker 1: nipples being does a really good job in terms of
43:15
Speaker 1: treating its female characters. I'll go first. I love this franchise.
43:20
Speaker 1: I love Star Wars because there's only one female character
43:23
Speaker 1: so in the context, so for this rating purpose, I
43:26
Speaker 1: will give it to start two nipples and one of
43:31
Speaker 1: them and they both belong to Princess Leiah, and they
43:33
Speaker 1: are perfect because I like her. This guy weird and
43:37
Speaker 1: creepy are perfect. I give it one horny for your
43:45
Speaker 1: brother nipple good. Ye would you like to write the
43:49
Speaker 1: movie sing? Yeah, I'm thanking how many? Because she was like,
43:52
Speaker 1: she was shooting, she was doing stuff, So I can't
43:55
Speaker 1: say zero. I'm gonna give it one a half nipples. Yeah, yeah,
44:01
Speaker 1: we're pretty pretty ballpark for all of us. Yeah, Like
44:04
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to say too. I think
44:06
Speaker 1: that's too much. I gave it. I was too generous.
44:09
Speaker 1: Wants to because because you're horny for Leia, I'm giving
44:13
Speaker 1: the half like the time that it came out. That's
44:16
Speaker 1: what the happ is really like they did. They pushed
44:19
Speaker 1: the boundaries for the time they did. Can I say
44:21
Speaker 1: that I want to be like the third whale if
44:24
Speaker 1: like uh Leiah and Han we're fucking I want to
