0:48
Ladies and gentlemen, you old hags, you awesome people wearing
0:53
those fatherless behavior T-shirts.
0:55
We are back with another brand spanking new episode, plus a new
1:03
way of trying to say that this podcast is called From Under the
1:09
Apron. I want to thank everyone for
1:11
buying the shirts. The T-shirts, the merch,
1:15
everything. Whether it be the From Under the
1:18
Apron podcast shirt or fatherless behavior, I'm still
1:22
learning from my mistakes. So phase two, the fatherless
1:25
behavior with just the words instead of the black background.
1:29
It will now be available to you. I'm just going to hide the other
1:33
one. And shame, for shame.
1:36
I'm ashamed I did that. It it was a face, one thing.
1:39
Like, you learn from your mistakes, you know, like, hey,
1:42
I'm not good with Photoshop, so this time I did it better.
1:49
So I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying my hardest.
1:53
Just the same way that, you know this podcast is, I'm trying my
1:56
hardest as well. But that's not what I'm excited.
2:00
About I'm more excited about the fact that we hit 8000 downloads.
2:10
Y'all we hit 8000 downloads. I don't know how else I can be
2:18
thankful, but to say I love you 8000.
2:25
Yeah. That's going on a shirt.
2:29
Write that down. What is it?
2:35
Trademark. Is it like a saying?
2:37
No. OK, just for the month of
2:42
December, I'm putting up these I Love You 8000 T-shirts with my
2:46
face on them. Just because you'll you'll see
2:56
them. You'll see the face when you
2:59
see. It this is just, it's just a
3:02
joke. You don't have to buy them.
3:04
I'm just putting it up. We'll see who buys them for
3:06
real. It is just something like how
3:08
far would you go to support the podcast?
3:10
Would you really buy? My legal advisor said probably
3:17
that needs to be looked into very well.
3:22
Thank you clock, very well then we will have to look into that
3:27
then I guess. All right.
3:31
Thank you, legal advisor. I appreciate it.

5:24
Welcome back, I am doing a re watch and recap of the third
5:29
episode of the Netflix series GLOW, the Gorgeous Ladies of
5:34
Wrestling. I put out a poll a few months
5:37
back about which script to show that is related to wrestling you
5:39
wanted me to tackle next. And a lot of you wanted the
5:42
Netflix series, so hopefully you all got to hear the last few
5:46
episodes. If you're following along, or if
5:49
you're not and want to jump right in with the recap, welcome
5:52
in welcome. This is GLOW season one episode
5:56
3. This episode was titled The
5:59
Wrath of Kumtar Writer with Nick Jones.
6:05
Nick Jones has produced and Co produced 26 episodes of Orange
6:08
Is the New Black directed by Clare Scanlon.
6:14
She directs single Cam comedies for both network and cable.
6:17
She started her career editing documentaries for PBS and
6:20
Discovery Channel. After Supervising Post and
6:24
producing The Last Comic Stand, she joined the.
6:26
Office in the 5th season at directing The Office Clear
6:29
transition over to directing full time in 2013.
6:35
She has DIRECTV shows like Suburgatory, Awkward, The
6:38
Goldberg, The Last Man on Earth, Blackish, Never Have I Ever
6:41
Brooklyn 9/9, Saved by the Bell on Peacock, the reboot, the
6:45
horrible reboot. I hated it.
6:48
I despised it. Rest and be Screech.
6:54
And it's currently directing Miracle Workers.
6:58
Yes, The Goldbergs is hysterical.
7:01
Symp Nosis of this episode is Sam Slash.
7:05
Young producer drops In and whisk the girls off to Malibu.
7:08
To party. But artistic differences soon
7:10
threatened to spoil the fun. Sam sits smoking and typing on a
7:16
typewriter. There's a knock on his door.
7:19
He gets up and answers it, and a woman, Carolyn, enters,
7:23
complaining that he was supposed to drop the dog off on Tuesday.
7:30
He says he's been busy, and she asks if she can have the dog.
7:32
Lenning, he says that she. Can't, and she asks why not.
7:36
He tells her that he's dead. He got hit by a car and needed
7:40
him time to call her. He says that it's probably
7:43
devastating to her, though he's had a week to move through it
7:47
and he give. He can give her the number of
7:49
the woman who hit him. She can call her to cry because
7:51
he doesn't want her to cry there.
7:56
There's barking from outside the door and Carolyn picks up the
7:58
dog, Lenny. She tells him he belongs in an
8:01
asylum, and he says she would love that, him being lobotomized
8:06
with his balls cut off. She tells him he never had any
8:12
to begin with leaving, and he shouts after her that he did
8:15
before he married her. He says there's one ball she
8:18
can't castrate. That's the mind boy.
8:25
Back at the typewriter, he typed that a man's true ball is the
8:29
mind. The show cuts to the opening
8:37
title sequence, so he basically lied to Devi in the last episode
8:41
about leaving his wife and dog behind.
8:44
She took him but we don't find out the reason why she took him.
8:49
So maybe he lied to Devi about his ex-wife cheating on him with
8:52
the cameraman. So hopefully we get more back
8:54
story to this. I said in the first episode that
8:58
the character Sam Sylvia is an homage, an inspiration.
9:02
She's the Co founder and director of the original
9:04
Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling promotion, Matt Cimber.
9:08
He was the last husband of the late actress James Jane
9:11
Mansfield, the mother of Mariska Hargitay from Law and Order SVU.
9:18
But he wasn't her father. He directed Mansfield on stage
9:21
in the film Single Room Furnished in 1968.
9:25
He was known as the unsung hero of the. 70s exploitation cinema
9:30
When GLOW came out in 2017, Seinberg was quick to dismiss
9:34
it, saying they stole the idea. Michelle M Richolas, the owner
9:39
of the Hotel Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, where they
9:43
shot the scenes, told me to turn over the right to the whole show
9:46
to one of his girlfriends who was in the show.
9:49
And I did. She sold it.
9:53
We don't know what's going to happen.
9:56
Ursula Hayden, who was Babe the Farmer's daughter, ended up with
9:59
the right and at one point issued GLOW DVD's.
10:05
Back to the show. Sam visits the gym where he
10:09
greets at his assembled gorgeous ladies of wrestling who are
10:11
enjoying a funny story from his producer Sebastian Hauer.
10:15
Sebastian says to call him Bash. Bash is played by Chris Lowe,
10:22
who was all over the place in the mid twenty 10s.
10:26
He was best known as PID for 20 episodes on the Veronica Mars
10:30
show and the Movie Will and Del Parker for 54 episodes of
10:34
Private Practice. He'd been in movies such as The
10:38
Help, Love and Honor Bride, a star shown up on TV shows like
10:42
iZombie, Enlisted, Halt and Catch Fire and is currently
10:45
playing Jesse on How I Met Your Father.
10:51
Bash is inspired by TV producer David McClain, who was the
10:54
creator and producer of the original Gorgeous of Ladies
10:57
wrestling promotion and the now syndicated WOW Woman of
11:00
Wrestling TV show which is currently airing.
11:04
He also created the ESPN series on the World Roller Hockey
11:08
League, Pro Beach Hockey, and the Triple Crown of Polo.
11:12
All of these programs are turned properties under his company
11:14
banner, David McClain Enterprise, Inc Sam tells them
11:20
to be nice because he's the one writing their checks.
11:23
He claims that he doesn't like to talk about money, that he's a
11:26
patron of the arts. He says that wrestling is an
11:29
art, despite his mother's opinion, which is wrong.
11:34
Sam says he saw he was in Peru, and he tells him that he came
11:37
back early, saying that he loves the casting.
11:40
He asked what movies they learned, what moves they
11:43
learned, and Cherry tells him that they've been mostly learned
11:45
to fall on their backs without hurting themselves and pain
11:50
faces as Artie err I tried my hardest pain face there?
11:57
Bash asked. What about the power bombs or
11:59
DDTS? Salty is famous for his DDTS,
12:04
asking where he is. Sam tells him that Salty didn't
12:07
work out and Cherry is now their new wrestling coach.
12:12
Bash asked if she has any wrestling experience, and she
12:14
points out that she's right there.
12:19
In the original GLOW, Manda Guerrero was the wrestling
12:22
trainer for the ladies Budweest, transitioning into a Hollywood
12:25
stuntman in 2017, Greg Oliver wrote a report on the show on
12:31
slamwrestling.net, and this is what he found out.
12:36
Actually, I got taken to be honest with you, Girl said in a
12:39
2006 interview. They used my reputation to help
12:41
those girls that come in. I paved the way.
12:46
He trained them, the way they thought they should be trained.
12:49
If I would have kept on going, they would have been a lot
12:52
better. A lot, lot better.
12:54
Because I taught them the way I was taught.
12:56
I didn't go straight to wrestling.
12:58
I give them drills for the way they stand.
13:02
Lisa Morretti would be his best known graduate from that class
13:05
as Ivory. Not 2 minutes later, these
13:08
blonde girls were hanging on the ropes.
13:11
I think he was teaching us how to sell pain.
13:13
You know, how to act like we're writhing in pain, which is kind
13:16
of funny and it's kind of hard to do for the first time.
13:19
But these girls started laughing.
13:20
To grab the respect they had that I needed on those girls.
13:23
So me, I grabbed one. I forgot who it was, telling me
13:28
it was fake. And I grabbed her like put her
13:30
sleep. What knocked her out right there
13:33
in front of everybody to see it. When she went down, she started
13:36
flip flopping like a fish. They believed then.
13:39
They believed then. And from then on it was nothing
13:42
but serious work with it. And instead of feeling sorry for
13:45
her, I was just like, I love this man.
13:49
I am so sold on this. I want to come back for some
13:52
more. Simba doesn't dispute girls.
13:55
Take, he says. Mandel Guerrero had a problem
13:58
with me. Now I respect him and his
14:01
family. Mandel Guerrero was teaching
14:03
them how to wrestle in the middle of the ring.
14:06
That's not what I wanted. What would never go We need a
14:09
flamboyance, we need a comic book type of reaction, said
14:12
Sember. I never wanted him to go too far
14:15
and I wanted him to know what satire was.
14:20
Sam says that fans may TuneIn for their moves, but won't stay
14:24
unless they give them something else.
14:27
He asked what? Reggie yells out blood and
14:31
Melrose yells out tits. Sam replies.
14:35
Storytelling, Storytelling. He he says it may be exciting
14:40
but in the midst of a big shot producer, but he has something
14:44
shinier, a script. This catches the attention of
14:47
Ruth, who has been skulking the ring away from the group,
14:50
practicing how to luck up by herself.
14:54
Sam says he made 10 copies that they'll have to share.
14:57
He says they'll be casting as they go along, starting with
15:00
Ruth. She says she'll give him
15:01
anything he needs and he shoot back that he what he needs is
15:04
for her to read stage directions.
15:08
Sanscript involves a group of women scavenging the earth after
15:11
nuclear Holocaust. Food and water are scarce, but
15:16
men even more so. They will wrestle for domination
15:19
for the privilege of breeding with the last man on Earth.
15:24
Bush bash grunts and satisfaction as Ruth reads.
15:29
Welcome to the ultimate catfight.
15:31
Welcome to the world of Glow. Justine and Tammy are in the
15:35
middle of the ring, saying they're live from a script.
15:37
Justine is reading a dead Justine is wearing a dead
15:41
milkman T-shirt with art from Metaphysical Graffiti, which was
15:44
released in 1990. She tells Tammy, who was playing
15:47
Madame in a monotone, that there is a woman outside who wants to
15:51
wrestle for a night with the specimen.
15:54
Ruth read the introduction of the letter virgin who was being
15:56
played by Devi Emilia. Ruth gets out of her way and as
16:00
far away from her as possible. Debbie asked Tammy if she's the
16:04
keeper of the specimen. Tammy asks who she is.
16:10
Debbie says that it's no concern of hers, and the only thing she
16:13
needs to concern herself with is that she's ready to fight.
16:17
All this with a melatonin type of voice.
16:19
While all the girls are posing and putting their hands on their
16:22
hips, trying to catch the attention of Bash, who's
16:24
enthralled at the whole story so far, Tammy calls for the
16:29
yogurts, who is being played by Carmen.
16:34
Sam says the next part is just wrestling.
16:36
He dismisses it and then says it cuts to commercial and back to
16:40
the story for act two. Basically, he said wrestling,
16:43
wrestling, wrestling, blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda.
16:46
Bash seemed excited at first, but it got lost when the
16:49
wrestling never happened. After a whole while of him
16:52
sitting on the bleachers and watching them do the entirety of
16:54
the script, he's exhausted. Feels like he doesn't want to be
16:56
there anymore. There's also Kuntar, the man
17:02
eater who harvests men for food. Kuntar.
17:06
No. Oh wait, that's not how it's
17:11
pronounced. Oh shit.
17:13
Some yells at Arty and Ruth to say it right.
17:17
Say it right. It's Kuntar.
17:20
Cunt. Kuntar.
17:23
All right. Shab tells Ruth to stand up and
17:27
be his Kuntar. She accepts and starts reading
17:31
the dialogue on paper. She yells out.
17:33
It is I Kantar Melrose ad libbed that she is more hideous than
17:39
they described her. Sam tells them both to stick to
17:42
the script, although it seems to start well.
17:46
Everyone gets to the point where they need a break.
17:48
Ruth whines that she just she has a big monologue coming up.
17:53
Debbie says she sure could take a break.
17:55
Sam said let's take 5. But that's Bash what he thinks.
17:58
Bash tells him that there's a lot that's working.
18:01
Sam agrees that he hired him to do a different kind of wrestling
18:04
show. Bash says his mission
18:06
accomplished and suggests they take the rest of the day and
18:09
have dreams and a welcome party. He suggests they all go to
18:12
Malibu. Hi everyone.
18:15
I'm Lisa. And I'm Dawn.
18:17
And if you've ever watched a TV show and thought to yourself, Oh
18:19
my God, that season finale plot to us was absolutely bonkers.
18:22
Or seen a movie and thought, wow, I need to talk to somebody
18:25
about this train wreck immediately.
18:27
Then we think you'll fit right in with our podcast.
18:29
I hate it. Let's watch it.
18:30
We watch TV shows like Riverdale and Emily in Paris and movies
18:33
like Deep Water Killer, Sofa Rubber and Devil Illusions, and
18:36
we give them the total rins and they deserve.
18:38
It's basically group therapy for movie Mascus.
18:40
So come check us out wherever you stream podcasts.
18:44
Hi everyone, this is JJ, the Co founder of Goodpods.
18:47
If you haven't heard of it yet, Goodpods is like Goodreads or
18:50
Instagram, but for podcasts. It's new, it's social, it's
18:54
different and it's growing really fast.
18:56
There are more than two million podcasts and we know that it is
19:00
impossible to figure out what to listen to.
19:03
On Goodpods, you follow your friends and podcasters to see
19:06
what they like. That is the number one way to
19:09
discover new shows and episodes. You can find good pods on the
19:13
web or download the app. Happy listening, we come back
19:21
and as he stands outside of a helicopter labeled Howard Foods,
19:24
the girls and Sam before him, he calls up a man named Florian,
19:27
saying that he's throwing a party.
19:30
He explains to debbing the helicopter that Florian is his
19:32
Butler and he needs to tell him ahead of time that he bringing
19:37
girls over or else the Butler gets mad.
19:41
The two takes off and Ruth asked Sam how poor it is that they all
19:45
go to the party. She thinks it might be a better
19:48
use of her time to go home and work on her line.
19:51
See, she can get off book by tomorrow.
19:55
He asked if she's sure she doesn't want to suck up to the
19:57
producer like Devi. She agrees that she's trying to
20:00
keep a safe distance from Devi. He tells her that it's a party
20:04
and not to overthink it. She says that the last time that
20:08
she went to a party with Devi. She got drunk and slept with her
20:12
husband. Sam says lucky for her that this
20:15
time he's not invited and walks away.
20:18
The group crams into Melrose car.
20:20
Carmen tells Ruth that she'll ride with her.
20:23
She says she doesn't have to. Carmen says that she knows.
20:27
Cherry asks Sam where her part was.
20:29
He asks what she means. She says that he didn't write a
20:32
part for her in his jerk off space opera.
20:35
She says that he she trained the girls all week and she wants to
20:39
be on camera that it's her turn. He asks Would Daddy not do this
20:44
now? She tells him it's fine and
20:46
starts to walk away, saying they'll do it.
20:48
On the way there, Justin Justine starts to enter his car and he
20:53
stops her asking what she's doing.
20:56
She tells him that there wasn't any room in the limo and she
20:58
doesn't have a car. She tells him his script was his
21:00
best work since Let This Go. She says it has the surrealist
21:05
quality in his earliest works, including Edipussy, Venus and
21:08
Chains, Gina the Machina, but with a more subversive message
21:13
about limitation of feminism and nuclear power.
21:16
He tells her to get in and saying that cherry that Justine
21:20
gets it. None of those movies have
21:23
anything to do with Matt Timber, but the fact that they've titled
21:26
like that they're flotation, Sex.
21:28
Flotation movies is similar to Simberg's movies titled Man and
21:30
Wife from 1969, Sex and Astrology in 1971, and The
21:34
Centrally Liberated Female 1970, which was based on the best
21:38
selling book The Senseless Woman by Joan Gary Lee.
21:44
He also held three blaxploitation films of the mid
21:47
70s The Black 6th, 1973, Lady Coco in 1975 starring Lola
21:53
Falana and the candy Tangerine Man in 1975, the last of which
21:57
Samuel Jackson Quentin Tarantino have cited among their favorite
22:00
films. The group arrives at the party.
22:04
They take into sight. Melrose tells Carmen Ruth about
22:10
the painting by Lichtenstein. Some glass crystals, not like
22:13
her mom's, like glass crystals, real crystals and the robot that
22:17
just greeted them. The robot greeter is actually a
22:21
throwback to the 80s, when every TV show or movie would have a
22:24
robot as a helper. Rocky Ford, for instance, would
22:28
have sicko, the robot who fell in love with Polly, another
22:32
robot who, although it was in the 90s screech would have his
22:35
robot pal Kevin. And who could forget the 1985
22:39
robot movie about a robot who got struck by lightning.
22:42
He developed self-awareness, consciousness and the fear of
22:46
the reprogramming that awaits him back at the factory.
22:49
With the help of a young woman, the robot tries to evade capture
22:53
and convince his creator that he has truly become alive.
22:56
His name was #5 and the movie was Short Circuit.
23:03
Dana gets from bustle.com wrote a piece on the robot, she
23:06
writes. Alas, it seemed the robot was a
23:09
quirky detail dreamt up by the GLOW Riders.
23:12
A deep dive on the web turns up no evidence that anything like
23:15
Globot existed in the league and put it from Zelda brains
23:19
matches. The GLOW persona Britannica
23:22
appears to be based on doesn't include any similar machinery.
23:27
To be fair, it's not totally impossible something like Globot
23:30
was available during Glo's heyday.
23:32
According to PC Magazine, there was a whole host of robots made
23:36
throughout the 80s, and they were often advertised on
23:39
personal helpers that could do laundry, pour drinks, and make
23:45
other everyday chores a little easier.
23:47
Even though in reality it seems like they just wheeled around
23:49
the house, they ran quite pricey for the time, with most of them
23:53
ranging from $600 to upwards of $6000, which PC calculates is
23:59
about 16,759 when adjusted for inflation, but certainly sounds
24:04
like something a rich hotshot like Bash would go a lot of
24:07
money for. Plus the Hero 2000, which was on
24:11
the market in 1986 when Globe premiered, looks like a slightly
24:14
smaller replica of Globot. Nevertheless, it appears Globot
24:19
is strictly a fun fictional entity to Globe crew screw in
24:23
for some ad bazaars. But hey, it works.
24:28
Melrose messes with the robots buttons and out popped a tray
24:31
containing drugs. Melrose yells there are drugs in
24:35
the fucking robot. Outside, Bash chats up Debbie
24:41
Sheila and argue about the products sold by the family food
24:44
company. He said they sell canned foods,
24:46
anything canned under the sun. He said it was almost the
24:49
company slogan his idea, but his mother didn't like it so much.
24:54
Florin brings over a dish of Lucky Charms and already enjoys
24:57
some saying that her parents never let her eat sugary cereal
25:01
as a kid. Bash called Flooring or Floor
25:05
his secret weapon. They meant the 3rd grade, and
25:08
now Florian works for him. Floor is played by Alex Rich.
25:13
His past work includes episodes in True Detective.
25:16
Sweet Nothings. A nice raber guy in the movie
25:19
XOXO. He played a young Pablo Picasso.
25:22
8 episodes of Genius and is currently playing a part in the
25:25
podcast series How to Destroy Everything.
25:29
Here I'll give you a small trailer of that show.
25:36
When's your birthday? Change the subject.
25:39
What's the name of your best friend from high school?
25:41
Oh gosh, I had so many. It's hard to pick just one.
25:45
And where do you bank? You really think he'll ask that?
25:50
Honey, do you have any idea what will happen if you slip up here?
25:54
If you give him one iota more than he needs, Well.
25:58
Yeah, you said he might like sleuth or whatever, but no.
26:01
No, no, no, no, no. Not just sleuth, OK?
26:05
I mean, you give him your birth date and phone number and he'll
26:08
find out your Social Security number.
26:10
Next thing you know, he's opened up bank accounts in your name.
26:13
He's. Buying real estate, using your
26:15
credit score. He's making photo colleges,
26:17
celebrating events he's not even supposed to know about.
26:20
And and not just that. He's hacking into your phone,
26:22
listening to our conversations, reading your emails.
26:26
And then, for some ungodly reason, he's sending you jade
26:29
plants Every. Single God damn year for your
26:31
birthday. And if, if, if, and when you
26:34
decide to do something about any of this, if you decide enough is
26:37
enough and you ask him to back off or or or God forbid you call
26:40
the authorities, he will sue you into oblivion.
26:44
As a lawyer, he will represent himself, forcing you to spend
26:47
your life savings on attorneys. And in court he will reference
26:50
arcane British case law and and submit literally thousands of
26:55
motions to delay and obstruct, and you will end up not only
26:58
penniless, but emotionally. Being corrupt.
27:03
So I'm going to ask you this again.
27:08
Are you sure you're ready to meet my dad?
27:13
How to Destroy Everything The true story of a narcissist who
27:17
destroyed a childhood, a marriage, a family and a
27:20
community. You know, a comedy now available
27:26
wherever you get your podcasts. At the main party, Ruth and
27:33
Carmen are hanging together. Ruth says she knows it, sounds
27:37
needy, but she asked Carmen to never leave her alone.
27:40
At the party, Carmen looks over at one of the arcades and asks
27:44
if that's an asteroid in the house.
27:46
Floor tells her that they have a Caterpillar in the master bath.
27:51
Carmen then says that she has to use the restroom and walks away.
27:56
Bash sings while putting rum and whiskey in the punch, but also
27:59
says they are out of pineapple rings.
28:02
Just then, Debbie appears, grabbing a drink.
28:06
Both Debbie and Ruth awkwardly stare at each other.
28:10
Ruth asks if she's. Having fun.
28:14
Debbie tells her that just because she's at the party
28:16
doesn't mean they're OK at all. She warns her she'll throw her
28:21
through the window if she talks to her again.
28:24
Ruth grabs some food and walks away.
28:26
Scared. Florence says Debbie could use a
28:29
drink, and she asked him to fill her up.
28:33
Outside, Sam, Justine and Cherry walk together.
28:36
Justine still gushing about Sam's films.
28:39
Cherry says that they get it, that she loves his movies.
28:44
They arrive at the door at the party house and Florence invites
28:46
Sam in 'cause he's the director, Sam sighs.
28:51
Jenny gushes that he's finally there.
28:53
Asking if he got lost and was that too stubborn to ask for
28:56
directions Like her dad, He asked where Bash is, and she
29:02
says that he took Kantar aside to speak privately.
29:06
He knows what that means. Sam curses and Jenny giggles.
29:10
Justine comments to Cherry that it's her first Hollywood party.
29:14
Cherry Pats her in the back and leaves her there.
29:17
Sam finds roots and Bash in a room lit red.
29:21
He asked if they're tripping, and Ruth says that they're
29:24
appreciating a piece of art. Sam snarks that he likes art
29:29
that tells you exactly what it is.
29:31
The camera then focuses on the art.
29:33
It's a neon sign that reads. Neon Bash asked if Ruth can give
29:40
them a little alone time, and Ruth tells him to not mind her,
29:44
that she's just hiding from Devi.
29:47
Sam glares at her, and she says she'll go.
29:50
Bash asked if this is the Malibu ambush and if he's going to ply
29:55
him with drinks and tell him that he doesn't like his vision.
29:59
He tells him that he hired him to direct the wrestling show,
30:01
but something that was his idea. Sam counters that it was the
30:06
seed of an idea. He says he's trying to elevate
30:09
the form. Bash agrees that this is
30:13
bitching, but he should maybe also not do that.
30:17
When he said that he wanted something different, he meant
30:19
the way that Miss Pac-Man is different from Pac-Man.
30:23
In other words, almost the exact same thing, but with a little
30:27
tiny pole on their hair. Looks cute, you know, not set in
30:31
the desert after a nuclear war. Sam says that Bash doesn't want
30:35
a story. Bash asked him about the Iron
30:38
Sheik. What's his story?
30:40
Sam tells him that he doesn't know who the fuck that is.
30:43
Bash says that he's a wrestler, that it doesn't matter, that all
30:46
that matters is that he wears A headscarf and hates America.
30:51
The Iron Sheik, who passed away in June of this year, lived his
30:54
gimmick except for that one time he was on a road trip with his
30:57
wrestling rival, Hacksaw Jim Duggan, and was stopped by a cop
31:02
because they were both drunk. The pair were traveling together
31:06
to a shell in Asbury Park, NJ, where they were set to be
31:09
opposite teams in A tag match. They were pulled over by a state
31:12
trooper who had seen Duggan drinking a beer while driving,
31:16
which was legal in his home in Louisiana at the time, but not
31:19
in Jersey. Duggan clarified that A.
31:23
Small amount of marijuana wasn't a big deal in Louisiana at the
31:26
time, but on this occasion in Jersey, it led him to an Iron
31:29
Sheik being taken out of the car and handcuffed while they in the
31:34
car were searched. The search led to the trooper.
31:38
Discovering not only the marijuana, but the Sheik.
31:41
Had three grams of cocaine with him, which was a felony offense.
31:46
The pair often not tell anyone about the incident that they
31:49
arrived at the show they had been traveling to, but by the
31:53
next morning it was all over the news.
31:58
Bash tells him that his ideas are too complicated and they
32:01
need to simplify to simply gorgeous ladies and wrestling.
32:06
Sam says that, with all due respect, he hired him because
32:09
they're professional. He's made eight films, two of
32:12
which are taught in colleges. He says not not just some child
32:17
who knows everything and that he needs a drink.
32:20
He walks away. Bach tells him to try to punch,
32:23
and Sam shouts that he's not 12. He doesn't need a punch.
32:29
Rhonda and Mulrose are trying desperately to get drugs out of
32:31
the robot. When Bach approaches and clears
32:33
his throat, they say they're not molesting it.
32:38
He tells him that he has something better for them to
32:40
fondle. OK, I gave you a little awkward
32:46
silence there, Melrose recognizes as a Bob Mackie gown.
32:52
He says his party the legendary because they drink, they smoke,
32:55
they dance, they get naked, and then they put on awesome
32:59
costumes and the cycle repeats itself.
33:02
Yes, Fondle Energy, he tells him to to let the others know.
33:06
That there's a costume closet on the 2nd floor.
33:09
They let loose at the costumes, Tommy Dawson commenting that she
33:14
could get used to it. He tells them to try on
33:18
anything, that it could help inspire them in their wrestling
33:20
personas and to go with Wes feels right.
33:23
Carmen puts on a Jason mask and bash.
33:26
You ask her why. So Friday the 13th.
33:29
She says that she's a heel, she's the ogres and she needs
33:32
something to scare the kids. GRR.
33:36
Josh tells her that kids are going to love her, that she's
33:38
not a serial killer. She's smiling all the time and
33:41
they need bright colors and fun for her.
33:44
He hands Carmen a hat and tells her he got this after he dropped
33:47
acid and hiked up Machu Picchu. Melrose puts on the gown, saying
33:52
it makes her look like a stranger.
33:54
He says that they need to strip her down to her essence.
33:57
Naked already. She asks.
33:59
He hands her a whip and she says that he sees her.
34:02
She loves the whip. Debbie's learning her words.
34:07
Tells Flora that she's raising a baby with someone that she can't
34:09
even talk to. If she were to leave him, she's
34:12
not even sure why she live where she live.
34:15
She asked why she would feel guilty about leaving that
34:19
asshole, someone who is stupid. She tells him that if he ever
34:23
cheats on his wife, he shouldn't admit everything to her, just
34:26
lie. She tells him She's sitting down
34:30
the floor. And then says she's losing her
34:32
mind every 20 minutes and is about as long as she can pretend
34:35
that everything's OK. She has nobody to talk to about
34:40
it except him. He gives her the ice bucket for
34:42
when she starts puking and tells her the carpets are really
34:46
expensive. She starts crying as he leaves.
34:51
Florian runs up to Ruth, asking if she can help him with
34:55
something. She says she can.
34:57
She, him and Debbie are now walking together.
34:59
He. He asks what Debbie's address is
35:02
and she gives it to him as Debbie is placed in the cab,
35:05
muttering that Ruth is not her friend.
35:08
Ruth closes the door and Debbie tells her again she's not her
35:10
friend. Florian drives a taxi away and
35:13
Ruth can only stare. Sadly, Flora reminds me of the
35:19
80s Question 10, Quint said. Oh my God, I can't even know.
35:22
I don't even know how to say that word right.
35:24
Flora reminds me of the 80s quintessential best friend
35:27
trope. Bash said they've been friends
35:29
his childhood and now he's his Butler.
35:31
Maybe Flora had a crush on his best friend and wanted to do
35:34
everything for him. Here he is, dressed as the 80s
35:37
best friend would dress fluffy hair with the bangs dangling to
35:42
one side of his face. Probably a little tiny hat.
35:48
He didn't have a hat though. He reminds me of every best
35:52
friend and every 80s ROM com coming of age movie.
35:56
Most notably, Ducky, played by Jon Cryer from Pretty in Pink,
35:59
which came out in 1986. The next scene, we catch Sam
36:07
sniffing coke. Of course, He asked Sheila if
36:10
he's good, showing the powder on his nose.
36:13
Am I good? Yeah, No.
36:15
OK, Sheila tells him he's good. All right, Cool Bash appears
36:19
wearing an Elvis Presley jumpsuit, Shouting Ladies and
36:22
Gentlemen, introducing the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.
36:27
They are all wearing wild costumes and cheering.
36:32
Sam asks just what this is. Bash tells them it's costumes
36:34
and characters. Sam tells Tammy that she looks
36:38
ridiculous, and she replies that she's not a pimp, she's a queen.
36:42
Bash tells them they're exploring new ideas and he says
36:44
they don't need them. Bash again says that Sam's ideas
36:48
are complicated, showing off Melrose, a sexy party girl, But
36:53
she's also a rip off of Madonna, who is huge right now.
36:57
Melrose is taken aback. Like, what?
36:58
Did you just insult me? What?
37:02
Grab my OK? He points at Jenny, who's
37:08
sitting on the couch sipping on her party drink, and he says she
37:12
walks into the ring. There is no back story.
37:14
There's no dialogue about where she came from.
37:17
He asked. When you look at her, what is
37:19
the first thing that jumps out of you?
37:21
Rhonda asked. Answers her eyes.
37:25
Bash says Bingo, she's oriental, which makes Jenny sit up and
37:31
stare at him, confused. Like what motherfucker?
37:35
He says. They have a jock, an Arab and a
37:38
big black girl, causing Sammy to do a double cake and ask what
37:42
the fuck you say, he says. Not judgment, just what the
37:46
world sees. Ari says that she's Indian, not
37:51
Ray Rube, and Jenny tells him that she's Cambodian.
37:54
Sam says that wrestling is not about back story, but about
37:57
type. He asks.
37:58
Already her type, and she replies, intelligent and
38:00
whimsical. No, he replies terrorist or
38:03
genie or some sort of evil Arab. She says he means stereotypes,
38:09
and he agrees. That's exactly it.
38:10
He pulls out a gun. Sam tells her not to take it.
38:15
She asks who's in charge. Ruth shows up, asking if someone
38:19
calls a meeting. Perfect, says Bash, saying that
38:21
she's the farmer's daughter, the girl next door.
38:24
Ruth replied that she's Kantar, a vision of hideousness.
38:30
Bash tells Sam that there's no world where people look at her
38:32
and see hideous or evil. She's apple pie and ice cream.
38:36
Sam tells him he didn't take the job to be bossed around by some
38:39
wannabe producer who fake who take fake phone calls at the
38:43
Polo Lounge. Bash tells him those calls are
38:45
real and he took the job because nobody else would hire him.
38:48
Sam tells him he hasn't done anything before.
38:51
Bash counters that Glow is his idea.
38:54
Sam tells him that the ideas are cheap and everyone has them,
38:58
that his idiot Butler probably has 10 Oscar winning ideas.
39:01
Bash attacks him, telling him to leave his Butler out of his.
39:05
Bash pushes back. Sam pushes back into a Justine,
39:10
who knocks the drink from her hand and onto the robot who gets
39:12
fried and somehow setting to Spanish mode before it crashes
39:16
entirely. Bash says he hopes Sam's happy.
39:19
Sam tells him to buy another one, that his mommy can take it
39:22
out of his allowance. He says that he's done and
39:25
stocks off. Hey, welcome to the Sweet Life
39:33

40:00
Movies and feelings Pop, Pop. Bring Your Own Popcorn is a
40:05
podcast that dives into people and the movies who love them.
40:09
Let us preach to your choir or stoke your ire as we spiral down
40:12
memory lane with cult classics, jurassics and other genres that
40:16
rhyme with traffic. What we lack in education we
40:18
make up for with comedy, compassion, and camaraderie.
40:21
I'm your host mixtape Majesty, inviting you to join me and an
40:24
assortment of wonderful guests on fine podcast apps everywhere.
40:29
Bring your own popcorn. Ruth races after him.
40:47
He groans, and she asks if he's really leaving.
40:50
He asks if she has notes for him too, and she says she just
40:53
doesn't want the show to fall apart.
40:56
He's surprised that she, team Pariah would still want the show
41:00
to happen. He asks why, and she admits it's
41:04
all she has right now. She says that he's the director,
41:08
he's the one who with the vision, and they respect him.
41:11
They need him. She says that maybe Bash is
41:14
right, too, that maybe his script is a bit too complicated.
41:20
She says that she's a home wrecker, but she doesn't get to
41:22
play any of these characters if there's no show, God damn it, he
41:27
says, and they head back in. He sits with Bash before a
41:32
campfire. He sighs and says that he knows
41:35
he's not easy to work with. He's cranky, doesn't take chrism
41:39
well, and doesn't like being told what to do.
41:42
Bash asks if it's an apology. Sam says apologies and
41:44
compromise are not his bag, as his ex-wife will tell him.
41:49
He asks why Bash hired him if he doesn't like his work.
41:52
Bash tells him he doesn't know what he's talking about, that
41:55
his movies are hysterical. Sam replies that they're not
41:58
comedies. Oh, says Bash.
42:02
Sam says they'll do it. They'll do it his way.
42:05
He'll make his show and even compromise.
42:07
He says that in return, but Sam stops him saying that he
42:10
doesn't. He can't have Florian.
42:12
He's too valuable for him. That's a little SUS there,
42:16
buddy. Sam says he doesn't want his
42:20
Butler. He wants him to read his script,
42:22
one that says the one that he's been trying to get made for
42:26
years. Nobody gets it, and nobody wants
42:28
to pay for it. Bash says that he doesn't need
42:31
to read it, that he'll make it. Sam tells him that he should.
42:35
It's pretty wild with time travel and epipole elements.
42:40
Bash tells him that if he makes glow, he will make any crazy
42:43
time travel sex rock movie he wants.
42:46
They shake and Bash ask what it's called.
42:50
Sam says. Mothers and lovers.
42:53
He tells him not to say anything.
42:55
That is a great title. Bash says.
42:56
He loves it. That is deep.
43:03
Next scene there in front of a video camera, Jenny Che has a
43:07
Chinese bamboo Kooli hat on and with an accent says she is the
43:11
one who is cute like Panda. I'm in danger.
43:14
Help me, save me. She didn't laugh and says trick
43:18
you and she pulls out her sword. I am fast like Dragon swings her
43:23
sword around and poses says she is fortune cookie and Asian.
43:28
Definitely, agrees Bash. Artie's next she's Beirut the
43:32
mad bomber. She growls, and the raspy boy
43:35
says she will destroy your American way of living.
43:40
Sam stops her and has the gun back in.
43:42
Artie says so expected. Justine is playing scab and the
43:48
raspy boy says your worst nightmare.
43:51
Or cut your Gucci and blast your Beamer die yuppie scum.
43:56
She as in a kick bash says he has chills.
44:02
Melrose is next. She says she's a bad girl who
44:04
likes to party, party, party. Her voice changes to gruff and
44:08
says, Dad, you'd been a bad, bad boy While holding a whip.
44:12
She growls and says come here Daddy Sam Sacks.
44:19
He thinks he should pull back on the dominatrix gimmick.
44:26
The other characters are, of course, all stereotypes.
44:29
Sheila is. Essentially herself with her
44:31
Goth she wolf personality, Carmen calls herself Machu
44:35
Picchu, the Peruvian fortress. Strong and proud.
44:38
I'm a good guy, Batch says. Good girl, I'm a good girl.
44:45
Cherry is Junk Chain, and she brings the pain.
44:49
Peace. Stacy and Don are next playing
44:53
the sisters Ethel and Edna, the Beat down Bitty.
44:56
Edna says she has mold older than you, ethos like a good
44:59
fiber cereal. She'll make you shit your pants.
45:05
Tammy's up. She has on that very white robe
45:08
and wearing a Burger King crown. She says y'all are stupid for
45:10
going to work every day and paying taxes.
45:14
I let the government pay all my shit and I live like the Queen
45:17
of welfare, Welfare queen. I don't know how to say welfare
45:21
now. Bash tells Sam this is like half
45:25
his brain and half Sam's brain. This is their masterpiece.
45:29
Rhonda's up. She's wearing the lav coat while
45:32
holding a Baker. She says.
45:34
I didn't see you because I was looking at Beaker full of sized
45:37
experiment, and earlier I was doing algebra because I'm
45:41
Britannica, the smartest woman in the world.
45:45
Sam steps up and hands her his glasses and says now it sells
45:48
it. Bash says now it makes sense.
45:53
Reggie Walsh is initially given the role of Liberty Bell as she
45:57
is an athlete only to have it taken by Debbie.
45:59
Bash tells her that Debbie seems more all American and Sam agrees
46:03
that they have a different part for Reggie, a big juicy one.
46:07
She asked why she doesn't believe him and she's then shown
46:10
in a Viking costume. She is Vicky Viking.
46:16
Ruth appears. She has like this coming soon,
46:19
movie voice guy Vibe saying. Men walk and fear through these
46:24
seedy streets, for it is dare you may meet, and though I am
46:27
moderately attractive, I am desperate.
46:30
There is nothing more dangerous than a desperate woman, and
46:33
there is no more. And there is no woman more
46:36
desperate than The Home Wrecker Badge set is not working.
46:41
Sam agrees. They don't know just who her
46:43
character is. Sam asked her to help them out.
46:47
Who does she think she is? Roots opens our mouth and the
46:51
episode ends right there. All right, so they did a great
47:00
job in introducing Bash, who loves wrestling and as you can
47:02
tell, he was inspired by David Mclean's love for wrestling.
47:07
Such a geek out moment even in women at wrestling.
47:10
Now he still uses the same formula, but not as bad as here.
47:16
They're kind of not sterotized, but they kind of are.
47:20
It's such a great episode. Rude does a great job in
47:23
continuing to be the social outcast, the pariah, I guess the
47:27
way he Sam calls her from the rest of the girls who hate her.
47:33
I love how she's practicing in the middle of the ring by
47:35
herself while everyone is gushing over Bash like nobody's
47:40
helping her out, Nobody's helping her lock up.
47:44
Still doesn't know how to talk to Debbie who tells her she will
47:47
throw her through a window but ended up talking but ended up
47:51
taking her home when she was drunk.
47:53
So she's still like, all right, you know, even though we're not
47:56
best friends anymore, I still got to like protect you or
47:59
something like that. But hey, I still slept with your
48:01
husband, right? The ending of this everyone
48:05
introducing themselves with reminiscent of all the girls
48:08
introducing themselves in almost every episode in a rap song.
48:12
I, of course, I went back to take a listen of it, and if I
48:20
had to hear it, then you have to also.
48:27
All right, So that's going to do this for tonight.
