Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for American mamas. Dear mamas, did
- 0:02Speaker 1: you go see Sidney Sweeney's latest film? Well, let's ask
- 0:05Speaker 1: our Merck and Mama's.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Mama, Mama, she said, joining us now our American mama,
- 0:21Speaker 2: Terry Naderville.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Okay, So Sidney Sweeney has a new movie out called Christie.
- 0:25Speaker 1: It is about, as IMDb puts it, the most famous
- 0:29Speaker 1: female boxer of the nineteen nineties. First of all, had
- 0:32Speaker 1: you heard of this female boxer in the nineteen nineties?
- 0:34Speaker 1: I had neither.
- 0:35Speaker 3: Okay.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Secondly, did you go see the movie?
- 0:38Speaker 3: No? And what I have even if everyone said it
- 0:41Speaker 3: was a great movie, that's not my genre. I mean,
- 0:44Speaker 3: that's not something I probably would have been interested.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Unless lesbian boxers is not your cup tea.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Yeah, but I will say, if you look, all of
- 0:53Speaker 3: this hate towards her from the industry is because of her.
- 0:57Speaker 3: It's been outed that she's a registered Republican. Nobody knows
- 1:00Speaker 3: who she voted for, Nobody knows her political stance on anything,
- 1:04Speaker 3: because she never has said not a word, not a peep.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Right, And she was given that that GQ interview that
- 1:10Speaker 1: made a lot of news as publicity for this film
- 1:14Speaker 1: and the interviewers like, well, do you want to make
- 1:16Speaker 1: a political statement, And Sidney Sweety said, if I want
- 1:19Speaker 1: to make a political statement, people will know.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:22Speaker 3: I thought that was so bad bad. I thought that
- 1:25Speaker 3: was so bad. A it was so good, But you know,
- 1:29Speaker 3: I was thinking about this. So in recent movies. These
- 1:33Speaker 3: are some big names that stood behind and starred in
- 1:37Speaker 3: and directed these movies, and they were all flops. Okay,
- 1:40Speaker 3: Leo DiCaprio's movie, Bruce Springsteen's biopic Deliver Me from Nowhere,
- 1:45Speaker 3: Julia Roberts movie, Colin ferrell and Jessica Chestain, Jennifer Lopez's
- 1:51Speaker 3: movie That Spider Woman. Yeah, Dwayne Johnson's these are all flops.
- 1:56Speaker 3: They did not get this level. They did not receive
- 1:59Speaker 3: this level of blame and hate because from their own people, right,
- 2:04Speaker 3: because they are laid lean to the left, and we
- 2:07Speaker 3: all know it. That's the thing, if you think about it,
- 2:10Speaker 3: a lot of us we've chosen and this is one
- 2:14Speaker 3: of those things we've learned through the pandemic. We like
- 2:16Speaker 3: to stream, we like to go to Netflix, we like
- 2:19Speaker 3: to look at Prime. We don't go to the movies
- 2:20Speaker 3: as much. And when we know someone's outward political stance,
- 2:25Speaker 3: either a Robert de Niro or you know, Ben Affleck.
- 2:28Speaker 3: I don't want to see their movies, right, So this
- 2:31Speaker 3: is what one of the actresses that wanted this role,
- 2:35Speaker 3: or she wanted the role of the girlfriend. Her name
- 2:37Speaker 3: is Ruby Rose.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Okay, Ruby Rose.
- 2:40Speaker 3: She said the original Christy Martin's script was incredible, life changing.
- 2:45Speaker 3: I was attached to play Cherry everyone, and that's the
- 2:48Speaker 3: girlfriend of Christy. Everyone had experienced with the core material.
- 2:51Speaker 3: Most of us were actually gay. It's part of why
- 2:54Speaker 3: I stayed in acting. Losing roles happens all the time.
- 2:58Speaker 3: For her pr to talk about it, flopping and saying
- 3:00Speaker 3: Sidney did it for the people. None of the people
- 3:03Speaker 3: want to see someone who hates them parading around pretending
- 3:06Speaker 3: to be us. You're a Cretan and you ruin the
- 3:09Speaker 3: film period. Christie deserved better. But here's Christie's response to that,
- 3:15Speaker 3: because let me.
- 3:15Speaker 1: Just show the actual boxer.
- 3:16Speaker 3: The actual boxer that became friends with Sidney and was
- 3:19Speaker 3: her mentor on that set. But before I say that,
- 3:22Speaker 3: I want to say so this girl, Ruby Rose is
- 3:26Speaker 3: gleaning that she's somehow a Nazi because she believes that
- 3:31Speaker 3: Sidney votes Republican. That is the media's fault. That is
- 3:34Speaker 3: the leaders in the Democrat Party. They do this. They
- 3:38Speaker 3: make the left scene like that that they should hate us.
- 3:42Speaker 3: They make us look like we're the evil ones. We
- 3:44Speaker 3: think they're wrong, they think we're evil, right, But Christy
- 3:47Speaker 3: said this. Christy said, Look, I've always been a fighter.
- 3:51Speaker 3: My life reflected that in every way, and now I
- 3:53Speaker 3: fight for others. The past few days, I've seen some
- 3:57Speaker 3: people attack my friend Sidney Sweeney. Sid not only worked
- 4:00Speaker 3: her ass off for this film, she worked her ass
- 4:02Speaker 3: off from me from my story for so many other
- 4:05Speaker 3: suffering and silence. So I want to be very clear
- 4:08Speaker 3: about who sid is. She is my friend and an
- 4:11Speaker 3: ally that should shut Ruby Rose that freak up.
- 4:16Speaker 2: But I don't think.
- 4:16Speaker 1: It's going to. And I do have some concern for
- 4:20Speaker 1: Sidney Sweeney's career at this point, because, first of all,
- 4:24Speaker 1: as you've pointed out, the left no longer likes her
- 4:27Speaker 1: at all, right, and yet as an artist, I think
- 4:32Speaker 1: she likes picking out content that would be more appealing
- 4:36Speaker 1: to people on the left than it would There aren't
- 4:39Speaker 1: a whole bunch of maga Republicans are like, you know,
- 4:42Speaker 1: what I really want to see is a film about
- 4:45Speaker 1: a lesbian boxer. That's not really Republican content.
- 4:49Speaker 3: She's an artist. She was going for that, you know
- 4:51Speaker 3: how Charlie's they're on. You know, I think Sinny was
- 4:56Speaker 3: probably going for an oscar. She was wanting to do
- 4:57Speaker 3: a role where she could look ugly and show her
- 5:01Speaker 3: true acting chops and.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Exactly, and not just be seen as a pretty face,
- 5:06Speaker 1: pretty body. Right.
- 5:08Speaker 3: But I disagree. I think she is not going to
- 5:11Speaker 3: be harmed by this. I mean, I know the left,
- 5:13Speaker 3: they may not hire her for certain parts. But if
- 5:15Speaker 3: you notice, it's the conservatives that have kind of moved
- 5:18Speaker 3: the needle when it comes to the movie industry. The
- 5:20Speaker 3: actors and actors are so upset these these hit these
- 5:24Speaker 3: movies are tanking because we know too much about them personally.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Whereas the chosen study, if she does.
- 5:30Speaker 3: A rom com, if she does anything that's just like
- 5:35Speaker 3: a hero a heroin you know, if she does those
- 5:37Speaker 3: kinds of movies or Christian based movie star, yes she'll
- 5:42Speaker 3: be fine. I just read about it.
- 5:43Speaker 1: I just don't know if that's the kind of content
- 5:45Speaker 1: she wants to do. That could make it difficult for her.
- 5:49Speaker 1: But you've got a good point. If you like Uskar
