0:22
I were live once a week giving movie reviews about our favorite comfort movies from

1:57
Yes, Dead just can't watch a spooky movie. She likes some kind
2:09
of lovey. Twilight was written badly, so instead we did it Adams Family
2:19
Dead Love. That was so good? Thank you? Was it better than
2:29
VI? I'll just make this up right now on the spot for a night's
2:34
tale. So good. I had a better I had a line at the
2:39
end that actually and then I changed it right at the end of So we
2:43
did Adam's Family, But like whatever, Hi everyone, it's still comfy Tuesday.
2:49
My name is Nathley Katona. You're on my YouTube channel for to all
2:53
the Men I've Tyler redd before your Weekly look at I almost just said every
2:57
day misogyny. Your weekly look every day misogyny. And this is my co
3:01
host. Hi friends, I'm Julia Washington, the host of pop Culture Makes
3:05
Me Jealous, where we analyze pop culture through the lens of race or gender
3:08
and sometimes both. And this was almost not meant to be because all of
3:15
the tech things were mad. They're so mad. The techno gods are angry
3:20
today, So if we seem for us, it's because we get to just
3:23
sit in the green room for fifteen minutes chatting. Yeah, and Penelope has
3:29
already parkourd off of the desk hardcore parkour. All right, Well, today
3:35
we are covering, if you couldn't tell by my fantastic musical renditions, we're
3:40
covering the Adams Family. And when I say the Adams Family, I mean
3:45
the good one, the nineteen ninety one version. Yeah. But okay,
3:50
but this is a question. Did you ever watch the original black and white
3:53
TV version every now and again at my grandparents' house because what every channel did
4:00
the reruns for it, and we didn't have cable growing up, so I
4:03
did see it in the summers on I mean obviously by the time we were
4:08
kids it was in reruns anyway. Yeah, but yeah, I was a
4:12
big nicke at night kid, so I've seen it, and I've seen the
4:15
monsters. Yeah, the monsters. I feel like the Adams Family, though,
4:23
was more taboo in my house because, if you'll recall, was raised
4:28
in a conservative Christian home. Jo just couldn't go to camp or learn about
4:32
space and or or you know, spooky things. Yeah, and I think
4:40
the monsters were like the the water down version of it in Adam's family,
4:46
and that's probably why it wasn't as like no no no kind of situation because
4:54
I don't remember if because the nineteen ninety one version was deaf like a no
5:00
go, oh, a no go. It was a no go. Uh.
5:05
We have one viewer, so this is a great time for me to
5:10
pause and actually remind you that we have a live comment feed that if you
5:15
are here, we can't see you unless you put something in the comment feed.
5:21
Jules did a very vana demonstration, so make sure to go follow the
5:28
pop Culture makes Me Jealous YouTube channel since we share this show, and if
5:32
you are watching the replay, go ahead and comment your thoughts there too.
5:35
This is truly like the only place except for Patreon, that you can just
5:41
have free access to, like in the moment stream of consciousness, comment on
5:46
our stuff. Yeah yeah, yeah truly. But what my opening, my
5:55
statement of like Adam Stanley is definitely a no go. As I was watching
5:59
it and the opening when we first get eyes on Angelica Houston, my first
6:02
thought was, damn, damn, ma'am, you are stuff ning, always
6:10
stunning, always stunning. My no, we were a huge Adams Family house,
6:18
like we watched all of the movies, like I haven't seen any of
6:21
the recent ones, but I watched Wednesday and then didn't like it. But
6:27
is that because you're a purist, like a nineties purist. No, it's
6:31
not because I'm a purist. It's just a I truly feel that Wednesday takes
6:42
out the entire heart that is the Adams Family franchise, like it was Adam's
6:46
Family for a reason. Sure, yeah, they're an ensemble, and yes,
6:55
as an ensemble. Now, I did try to turn on the cartoon
6:58
because I was very curious if when they did you know, the newfound like
7:04
claymation animation that they did in the most more recent videos, it dress sexy,
7:12
like if Ms and Martisher are all over one another, are so horny
7:15
for each other, they're so horny. Like Okay, I was like,
7:21
this is such a beautiful example of when a couple is in love and like
7:30
genuinely wants to be together, which we don't often have, especially when you
7:33
think about the nineties. Correct, And here's the thing about the Adams family
7:39
that always gets me tickled. And by the way, just because like Adam's
7:44
family and the Adam So I thought the original Adam's Family was Adam's family values,
7:48
and I just think it's because Joan Cusack isn't it, and therefore it
7:51
made it a bigger movie on my radar. But the nineteen ninety one Adams
7:59
Family is the reboot that they did for US millennials, and it stars Angelica
8:05
Houston, a very young but a very talented Christina Ricci so she was so
8:11
good I stand, and Christopher Lloyd as Uncle Fester. And this is the
8:20
one where Uncle Fester has been missing for decades and then an impostor comes to
8:26
take the Adam's fortune and shenanigans ensue, and then spoiler alert, at the
8:33
end, it does actually end up being Uncle Fester because there's only one man
8:37
who looks like that. Yeah, I think so. The thing about the
8:43
thing that always tickles me about the Adams Family is that it's it's meant to
8:52
be like, oh, they're scary and they're outsiders or whatever, and they're
8:58
like weirdos. But it's like we've made that up in our minds, and
9:03
like the story never plays that out. Because I was like, why is
9:07
it that everyone's real quick convinced that the Adams family is a real alternative lifestyle
9:13
when they're literally the happiest people I know. They're the happiest people. They
9:18
are so rooted in family and being in like so focused on family and honoring
9:24
those who like lived before them, and just again a demonstration of like the
9:31
parents actually wanting to be together and loving each other and not sniping at each
9:35
other and just really showing us like, hey, this is kind of what
9:39
the kind of love that you should probably look for. Well, and I
9:43
love all of the joke structures in the Animals family because none of the jokes
9:46
are at the expense of anyone else in the family. It's not like Gomez
9:52
is always digging in at Martitia and Pugsley is a real consensual parts of him
10:01
and whatever weird shit Wednesday has decided that they will do, and they're like
10:05
real siblings. That's why I turned off the cartoon because the first person who
10:09
spoke was Pugsly and he sounded too intelligent and I was like, that's not
10:13
my Pugsly, and then I turned it off. Oh yeah, yeah,
10:18
because Pugsy in this movie doesn't really have a lot to say. Well,
10:20
and I remember that in this show like that is Pugsley's vibe. Yeah,
10:26
he's more of a quiet character, which makes sense too when you think of
10:28
it or not, like not it makes sense. But like when they go
10:33
to the Halloween party and he dresses like Uncle Fester, it's like one of
10:37
those things. It's like out of admiration because they're different, but the you
10:41
know what I mean, Like he admires Fester for who he is versus like
10:48
not that was a dumb point that you get it. Yeah, it's like
10:54
we don't get to do ur We didn't get to do our get ready for
10:56
the show. We did it camping. So we're today we but he we
11:03
all have that uncle or that aunt who is our favorite uncle or aunt.
11:09
I also enjoy that Wednesday. So one of the really big things that I
11:16
enjoy about the Adams family is it's not even that like no one's outwardly mean
11:20
to you, but like everyone is respected and heard in that family. Yeah,
11:26
so when Wednesday is the first person who starts catching on that Uncle Fester
11:31
is an Uncle Fester or there's more to the story or whatever, no one
11:35
is like outwardly telling her like you're insane, right crazy, We've accepted this
11:41
to be true. Why can't you like, oh that Wednesday And when they
11:46
go to the school for the little performance and the teacher is expressing to Martitia
11:54
like, oh, we did some we did some projects on our heroes.
12:00
Yeah, and Wednesday did her great aunt who was burned at the state for
12:03
a witch or whatever. There's never any like at no point or the Adams
12:11
family in on the fact that that's actually weird to like basic white people.
12:16
So more too's just like, oh, yes, that is one of our
12:18
favorite family stories, and so naturally the only connection I can make is that
12:28
the Adams family are just a Gothic version of my Croatian family. I believe
12:33
it based on some of the stories you told me. I did write down
12:37
Hall of Heroes because on my notes, because I think that is one of
12:39
the greatest scenes of the film, because it also highlights just how much they
12:46
value the family lore versus placing admiration. Because I think in the Hall of
12:54
Heroes you had George Bush and Barbara Bush and like all of these other faces
13:01
that you know, you look at them and you're like, kids don't know
13:05
anything about George Bush and also scratch your head like like why and then here
13:11
comes this family, this little girl who's like I am so I love my
13:15
family history so much that I respected enough to share with you. Yeah,
13:20
and like fully understands it versus again like like you said, who I couldn't
13:26
in nineteen ninety one, I couldn't have told you what the fuck George Bush
13:28
was doing. No, so like just like literally picking the president because you
13:33
know that someone has to be president of this that or like your parents are
13:37
like, you know, who should we should admire is George w is George
13:43
hw h w? This is ninety one, But still that was a great
13:48
scene to me. And then the other thing that I wrote down was I
13:54
love how everyone assumes that the Adams family is a bunch of dummies when really
13:58
they're that's just their prejudice, Like they're not Like the Adam's family just doesn't
14:03
see the world the way that everyone else does, which is so freeing.
14:07
But it's like because of that, everyone just assumes they're stupid. Oh my
14:11
gosh, I just got chills because now we can connect it to the other
14:15
thing that we've been obsessed about this week, which is Britney Spears. Like
14:18
everyone is just assuming that Britney is in crisis. And I'm not saying that
14:22
she's out of crisis, right, but we're not taking into context that you
14:28
know, there's mental illness, there's medical abuse, there's a lot of distrust
14:33
for society due to things that she's had to live through. And with the
14:37
Adams family, they're just so comfortable in themselves, much like a naked Britney
14:41
spears twirling with knives. They're just so comfortable with themselves that at no point,
14:50
just it's not that they don't pick up that you're questioning their culture or
14:56
their family structure or their lore. They're just not questioning it with you,
15:01
like it's not making them falter on who they are people right exactly exactly,
15:07
and even when, like you said, even like weeks since early on that
15:11
Martitia isn't quite sold on this being the true Fester, but she's still loving
15:16
her husband, she's still supporting him through it, but she's also proceeding with
15:20
caution to still protect her family until they know for sure. And I thought
15:26
it was done so beautifully because it wasn't, uh I told you so,
15:31
or I was concerned, or like this naggingness that usually comes when you keep
15:37
this guy into our house, yeah, and ask questions. Yeah. It
15:41
really highlights just how solid their relationship is because she's like, my husband has
15:46
to work through this. I'm going to support him even though I have doubts.
15:52
And then when it all does kind of start to fall apart, she's
15:54
like, all right, let's solve this problem. And it's not like oh,
15:58
my stupid husband, Oh I have to fix this. Oh why didn't
16:00
you listen to me. It's very much like an understanding of their partnership and
16:07
the partner. Hm, I can't. I feel like I'm saying the same
16:11
shit over and over and over again because I think I mean, honestly,
16:15
I stopped taking notes on the movie because I was like, I have no
16:18
notes on this family. Really would move into this family's home tomorrow. I
16:22
mean I would get freaked out because you know, I don't like intense and
16:26
scary things, but the whole Like another note I wrote, so it's I
16:30
have like no critic like you have no criticism into the movie. Another note
16:33
I wrote was this is just a movie of finding belonging in an unexpected way,
16:40
like yeah, because and everyone was good about it at the end.
16:45
What so, what was Fester's amnesia name was it Harold? Was his name
16:51
Gerald? Jerry Gerald? It was a George, Yeah, it was yeah.
16:56
Win Fester doesn't realize that he's Fester. He has this really toxic mom
17:00
figure, which is probably something that we can go into. He has this
17:03
very toxic mom figure who has basically made it impossible for him to not feel
17:11
like an outsider, Like she revels in his violent tendencies because it helps her
17:17
get her way, but then she's also only allowing him to socialize with her
17:23
so she can keep in control of him. And then through this con he
17:30
does, I mean, honestly, what I do as a person who's been
17:33
used and abused, just goes, oh my gosh, are these people Okay?
17:37
I will become their uncle. And he becomes very endeared to the kids,
17:44
Wore and Grandma and Lurch. And it's when he's so upset because his
17:55
me mommy isn't going to let him go to the kids play and he goes,
17:59
but I've been helped them with the with it and she's like why and
18:03
he's like, well, it's all part of the bit, but you can
18:06
very much still it's it out part of the bit. Yeah, And it's
18:10
almost It's like you watch him start to realize that he fits there like that,
18:15
it makes sense that he's there even though he doesn't believe that he's a
18:18
part of the family. He's not really Uncle Fester. There's something about that
18:25
family that makes him feel valuable and whole. And that's the other thing that
18:30
I really loved about it, too, is that Fester doesn't find romantic love
18:34
to make him whole. Fester just finds his community to make him whole.
18:40
Yes, And it all comes to head in a beautiful, choreographed moment which
18:45
we know. I love with the mamushka. Yeah, and I remember I
18:48
remember being a kid and that used to be my favorite scene and I would
18:52
dance to them. That's adorable. Yeah, because, as you know,
18:59
my family likes to poka. To me, it was the same thing.
19:07
And there are so many Again, Honestly, my family is gonna be so
19:12
pissed when I text them all and be like, I know that we thought
19:15
that my big fat Greek wedding was the truest representation of our family we've ever
19:21
seen. But have you guys revisited the Adams family? Can't you guys looked
19:30
into Adam's family in nineteen ninety one, wait for that response and because they
19:36
have that big family party because they're so excited that fester has been found,
19:41
So if they're going to share it with all of their family. And I
19:45
have a family lower story like that where one of my mom's cousins was being
19:52
picked up from the airport after being in Vietnam for the war, and there
19:59
were these other guys sitting with him at the airport that were either on connecting
20:04
flights or still waiting for a ride home or whatever. And my uncles,
20:10
my grant uncles, went, we'll just get in our car. And my
20:12
mom was like, I thought that, like there was a parade, because
20:17
everyone in their neighborhood came out into the yard and people were honking and there
20:22
was a big barbecue. She goes, I literally like, you couldn't convince
20:25
me it wasn't the fourth of July. I love that, And it was
20:29
all because my cousin was coming home. And then like they my family immediately
20:33
looked at these guys and they're like, are people picking you up? Do
20:37
you have a couple of hours? Come join our family, like be a
20:40
parade, Like come eat with us. You always got to come home.
20:44
I can't. I can't talk about it anymore. I'm gonna cry. But
20:48
it's beautiful. But I think one of the things about the Adams family that
20:56
is so beautiful is that you can view them as like a big ethnic family,
21:00
and there's just something about those big like when Wednesday's dancing with her cousin
21:07
and I'm like, I've been Wednesday dancing with my cousin, a cousin who's
21:14
severely older than me, possibly my mom's cousin. But the flow dance happened
21:21
and we didn't have dates, so it's like, I guess we're each other
21:26
yea, yeah, And nothing's weird about it, Like right, it's not
21:32
creepy, it's not weird. Like there are a lot of family structures where
21:41
a lot of times affection is withheld yes from male family members because it is
21:48
viewed as like creepy or gross or weird, and the Adams family, they're
21:53
just so loud and messy about their feelings emotions where I'm like, oh,
22:00
this feels like home, like a gothic comb. Yeah. And that leads
22:06
me into my another point I wrote down, which was I love how even
22:08
though it's the Adams family, and you know, Mortician makes a comment about
22:12
like, oh, that's Gomez's fam you know parents, It's a shame they
22:17
didn't get to meet the children. They still have her mother living with them,
22:21
and it's a non issue. She's just a regular part of the family.
22:25
There is no tension between Gomez and her mortitious mother. Grandmother is there.
22:30
Grandmother exists in the family structure. Grandmother is not a problem. Yeah,
22:34
which is another dynamic we don't get to see a lot of. It's
22:38
a lot of representation of like you really should probably hate your mother in law
22:41
because your mother in law is the worst. Well. And then lyricsis lawyer
22:45
and his wife who are also just enveloped into the family because the Adams just
22:51
trust that they are being genuine about the really positive feelings about the family.
22:56
Which I do think that the wife character is kind of in need with them
23:00
one as you see by the end of it, she becomes part of the
23:03
family. Yeah, she marries cousin it, which is of the Adams.
23:07
I just I fucking loved that when they were like falling in love at the
23:11
party and like all these things, and then you know they show up together
23:15
as like oh yeah, I forgot that this happened, and it makes me
23:18
so happy because it's like, weep all. I don't know if this is
23:22
true for you, but all of us who are not quite have had the
23:26
one friend who's come to a family thing and who's just been like the uptight,
23:30
like I don't know what to do, everybody's noisy face, and that's
23:34
her. And then she becomes like you said, she becomes endeared with them
23:37
and then eventually assimilates, which is so wonderful because it's like you can still
23:45
be like uh, withdrawn and quiet, but still also be loved and a
23:52
part of it. Oh yea. My best friend still tells me, retells
23:57
me stories of my own school graduation party of things that she just observed from
24:03
my family. She's like, and Linda, do you remember when this happened?
24:07
And it's like, yes, I do it. Well. Then,
24:12
probably not the last time that I was staying at my aunt's house, but
24:18
the night, but the time before, Yeah, it was probably for the
24:22
baby shower. My aunt asked me how my best friend was doing and how
24:26
her kids were doing, and so like, I don't know how to explain
24:32
it. I'm convinced that it's weird because I think I've been made to feel
24:36
like my family is weird. It might be the way that I tell the
24:38
stories. It might be the way one tells the story and describes things makes
24:47
a difference. Yeah, it might be the way that I'm like, so,
24:49
has your family ever gone through this? Yeah? But I think one
24:55
of the reasons why I did a little bit of an overshare last night in
24:59
one of our group chats with my family stories is because the animal's family like
25:03
made me nostalgic for that. Yeah. Yeah, so that probably means that
25:08
PEG's gonna come and haunt me. It is October, it is October.
25:14
It doesn't have to be October. I know, I was. I was
25:18
just trying to play, you know. But Okay, speaking about Gomez and
25:26
Matsia being so fucking hot for each other, I'm like, see, this
25:29
is what happens when you say that the anim's family is weird. Then we
25:32
all become sexually repressed. It's like, and then we just accept marriages where
25:37
we're not hot for one another. Yeah. And I think that's the part
25:40
that really stresses me out because as this unpartnered adult woman, and people who
25:47
are always trying to figure out how to get me partnered. I don't know
25:49
how to explain to them that I want to be in a relationship with someone
25:55
I like, desire and emotionally into life actually, because yeah, the like
26:02
of I want it. The foundation needs to be friendship. I need to
26:04
have a fondness. I'd like to like them. I don't want to be
26:10
partnered as a safety net because society is structured for women to only be protected
26:15
if they're partnered, but then that partner is terrible to them. Correct,
26:19
Like, there are so many times when either I'm watching the animal's family or
26:25
the Adam's family comes up or whatever, and I'm just like, if it's
26:27
not Morticia and Gomes, I do not want it. I do not want
26:33
it. He's and it's not in a legerous way that he's just so they're
26:40
just so into each other, right, they can't hear they can't hear like
26:45
triangle without being like, do you remember when we did the Alaskan Triangle that
26:51
midnight like and then they're all swept up in it again and I was like,
26:55
yeah, those two fuck yeah. I was like, I'm surprised they
26:59
don't have more child in because I really feel like there. It's all the
27:02
time over there, which is good for you get it. You know,
27:06
it does end. So the movie does end with Mortician announcing that there will
27:10
be a third at Yes Baby Yeah, which I don't think Wednesday covers.
27:15
See again, I don't like that Windnesday show. It took out all the
27:18
heart. Can I tell you a couple of things that I noted that I
27:21
really did kind of enjoy watching an Adulthood. Okay, so they're at the
27:26
talent show. The location where they're doing the talent show is the Gilmore Girls
27:30
Hall. That location is used so many times in Gilmore Girls that like,
27:36
I can't not see Gilmore Girls when I see that location. Oh I love
27:41
that, And this is like nine years before Gilmore Girls, so that's fun.
27:47
And then I love when Martitia's trying to find work and she and the
27:51
gal's like, oh, did you what's your degree in? And she's like
27:53
hexes and spells, and the woman's like, so liberal arts and literal arts.
28:00
By the way, I have learned that in England or something, there
28:03
is a there is a university. I think it's an English university across the
28:08
seas that now is offering like witchcraft as a major, and I was like,
28:14
let me pack my bags, Penelope were moving. I don't see why
28:18
not. There's so much to it that it's I'm like, I am truly
28:21
impressed when people have like a deep knowledge and understanding, Like that's a lot
28:25
of dedication. It's no different than someone studying like chemistry or math or history.
28:32
Well, and I think that's what like always tickles me about the Wednesday
28:37
picking her ancestor who was burned at the steak because it because then Martitia goes
28:44
into it. Yeah, she's like, oh, yes, she was burned
28:47
at the steak. I believe it was because she used to dance naked at
28:51
night, and like it is like that was a lot of what was going
28:55
on during the Salem witch Trial, where women were being persecuted for show sexuality
29:00
or new or knowledge of something right, like I know how to make this
29:06
thing out of berries that will help heal you. You don't need an exorcism.
29:12
And then she goes, but don't worry, we've told Wednesday college first.
29:18
But like, also, if you want to be burned up the steak
29:21
as a martyr, okay, yeah, I mean live your life, happy
29:25
girl. The other thing that I was like, oh, I fucking love
29:27
this was when she's clipping the roses off and just leaving the stems versus in
29:33
like just throwing them on the ground, like that has no value here.
29:37
We just want the brown, the aesthetic, the esthetic. I was like,
29:41
I love this woman, no, literally like the thing of fantasies,
29:47
Martitia Adams. And I love that he called her tish Like that was so
29:52
like that was so endearing in a way, whereas like I love that you
29:56
her name is Mortitia, but you shorten it and it's I don't know,
30:02
it just was so they're just so enchanting. I just love them well.
30:06
And there's so much about Mortitia and Gomez that that is, you know,
30:11
barrier breaking. Gomez is a short king. Yeah. I would classify them
30:19
as a biracial couple because of Gomez, and then Martitia is a very white
30:26
lady. H Yeah. And I wish I had looked up who played the
30:30
original cast. But the guy who plays Gomez, his name is, his
30:33
last name is Julia, Yes, and do you know that he died when
30:37
he was fifty four? The nineteen ninety one Gomez, Because I was like,
30:42
where is this? My gosh, he was so Handsome. I didn't
30:48
look. I didn't get that far when I was doing my Adam's family googling.
30:52
But so, yeah, the the Gomez in the movie that we watched,
30:57
I mean Raoul Raoul, Yeah, he died when he was fifty four.
31:03
I was like, so sad. Oh like three years after doing this
31:08
movie. Yeah, so now I don't even know if it's him in Family
31:14
Values. Well, Family Values was in ninety three, and yes it is
31:18
him. Okay, I thought it was because Angelica Houston I see for the
31:26
rest of my childhood for always. Yeah, oh my gosh, this isn't
31:33
Angelica Houston. But now I feel like we have to watch the Glenn Close
31:40
one hundred and one dalmation. How did I know you were going to say
31:42
that? Because no one is a better Cruella than Glenn Coat Close, and
31:48
you cannot tell me I'm wrong. I won't tell you you're wrong, but
31:52
I will tell you that Kruella is a movie that imprinted me in a way
31:56
that I was not expecting than the reboot with Emma Stone. Uh huh.
32:01
I have not watched it. Oh so good. Okay, well I'll watch
32:07
it because now I have access back to and I think just'm going to preface
32:14
it because you know that when Carly and I are together, all we do
32:15
is talk about how we used to be so punk rock. The soundtrack in
32:21
that movie is like it it was like, oh my god, I had
32:25
all of these albums, like, oh my god, like it just was
32:29
this. So the music really does help me sell it. So if just
32:34
know that that nostalgia factor is there for me. Also about Wednesday and Pugsley,
32:42
they are the most polite, well behaved children I've ever seen. Are
32:45
they often throwing knives at one another? Yes? Was there talent show performance
32:52
a little too bloody for me? Yes? Yes? But polite. You
32:58
know that they don't act up in class. And you know, Wednesday says
33:01
some shit. She says some shit like when that girl Scout is like,
33:07
are you sure it's made from real lemons? And they're like, yeah,
33:10
I only drink things that are organic with real fruit, and they're like okay,
33:15
and she's like, I'll mind some lemon, ae me buy my cookies,
33:19
and Wednesday goes are they made out of real? Girl? Scout so
33:22
good? It's so good, it's so funny, and that girl is terrified,
33:29
and I'm like here's the thing. I don't think Wednesday's spooky at all.
33:32
I think she's just funny. Yeah, she's deadpan. Yeah, And
33:38
I think that's what I miss out of the By the way, Jenna Ortega
33:43
does a great job in that show. It's not that she's a pissport Wednesday.
33:46
I don't like the structure of the show. I do not like that
33:50
in order to focus on Wednesday, they removed her from the family. And
33:57
but I don't think that, uh, Wednesday captures how funny Wednesday is.
34:04
I think that they leaned really hard on well, she's spooky and now she's
34:07
at spooky school. See, And I feel like, how do you have
34:12
Wednesday if she's not funny? Right? Also, I will say that the
34:17
Adams family are comedians before they are spooky, A hundred percent. Absolutely.
34:23
And I think that's part of why I could hang through the movie, because
34:27
the comedy of it all, Oh, it's so funny and and and part
34:32
of the funny is that they just like fully accept that this is who their
34:36
family is. But also that's part of the comedy in my family is that
34:39
there's just blatant acceptance, like, oh, yep, that happened. Yeah,
34:44
so like when a dungeon monster just like burps up fire from the basement
34:47
and they're like, ah, Patsy, she's acting up again. And like
34:53
when they were walking through the cemetery and they're going over how each family member
34:59
has died horrific death, I was like, this is also kind of beautiful
35:04
because you and I now have grown up in an age where people stop telling
35:09
you why people have died, and you and I are always like, why
35:13
won't anyone just tell us how people died? That's literally all I need.
35:15
That's all I need, because the funeral's great, it helps with closure,
35:20
But if I don't know how they died, then I'm never leaving the house
35:22
because I'm assuming they died because they left the house right, Like came to
35:28
my mental illness, but like, well not even just the mental illness,
35:32
but the emotions like help with the grief process. It really does help with
35:38
the grief process. And we know how people have passed, yes, Like,
35:44
and you and I have talked before about how like they used to put
35:46
the cause of death in obituaries and now they've stopped. Yeah, my son
35:52
knows, he knows you put my cause of death in there. You put
35:55
my cause of death. It's a headlife and if it was thing comedic,
36:00
talk about it at the party. Yeah, overran by lions at the zoo.
36:07
Roar could happen? It? Could? We watch Jurassic Park and we're
36:10
like, we're not safe. Feed zeus, no, watch me, never
36:15
go to the zoo again. I have the hiccups. It's okay, it's
36:20
because I crammed at dinner right before we did this. Oh but yeah,
36:28
I think I think when you misinterpret the actual intent behind something, I think
36:39
that's what Wednesday did. I think Wednesday misinterpreted the original intent to the Adams
36:45
Family, which is like the reason why they have that dumbass theme song is
36:51
because they're comedians, they're spooky and they're kookie. Right. Did you guys
36:55
ever do like the spoof of it the day of the week. That's how
37:01
I used to teach days of the week in kindergarten. There's one that starts
37:06
like Uncle Fester farted. No, I don't think I did that one.
37:09
Well. I can't say the next line because it's not okay. But I
37:13
was thinking about it today when I was like sort of just you know,
37:17
reviewing everything from yesterday, when I was watching the movie and making notes,
37:22
and I was like, that little anecdotal song that we used to sing about
37:25
the Adams Family is not okay now, and I can't believe adults let us
37:34
sing that on the playground. Remember I went to a private religious school.
37:38
They were just happy that you were making fun of the Adams family. Oh
37:45
but yeah, I think that's where that's another play. I didn't know that
37:47
this was going to turn into my notes on the Wednesday Show where I'm like,
37:52
you misinterpreted the intent behind the Adams family, which is the Adams family
37:57
because also, like Wednesday and more Titia are having mother daughter strife, which
38:02
I understand is the natural part of things. But I was like, also,
38:06
not the point of the Adams Family. And the Wednesday show they're having
38:09
mother daughter strife. Yeah, oh that feels uh at a character. Yeah
38:16
no, that's what I'm saying. Like, I was like, not the
38:19
point of the Adams Family. The point of the Adams family. So I
38:22
really think the point of the Adams family is that they have to be a
38:27
team in a community because they're so different from the outside world, right,
38:31
so you really cannot lean on the outside world to be your community. Yeah,
38:37
that's how I interpreted it. Was that not how I was supposed to
38:40
interpret it. It is there is because I think the reason why and and
38:45
you touched on this earlier with you know, your Croatian family being more Adams
38:51
Stanley than my big fat Greek way Greek wedding. But what all of those
38:54
things are teaching us who don't fit into the major dominant culture that is currently
38:59
crying that they're you know, being attacked, is that you do have to
39:04
turn in to your family to survive the major dominant culture because your family's gonna
39:09
be who gets you, who understands you, their fucking fault were weird,
39:15
But at the same time like they're the ones who are gonna be a comfort
39:20
and feel like like it doesn't matter how much I'm in disagreement with a parent
39:24
or another family member. If something weird happens in the world and I go
39:30
to a family function, it's almost like it's a reset, a reminder that
39:35
it's like, well, at least here I fit in, even if that
39:37
person has something to say negative about me. Even if I'm currently in a
39:42
weird place with one of my parents, it doesn't matter. There's something about
39:45
that bond so like it's a balm to the rest. Yeah. I mean
39:53
you hear the way that I talk when I go back to visit everybody,
39:58
whether it's planned or not, and I do. I just like I just
40:01
tell you, I'm like, Oh, my mom's cousin just told me that
40:07
she loves when I'm in town because it's just like because I'm so lovely to
40:10
spend time with. Isn't that nice to hear? Yeah? I never hear
40:15
of it, And that's the great Like that's the greatest thing. Like my
40:19
cousin and I had a moment in July where it was just like, you
40:22
know, we do these things because we care about you and Jack and your
40:25
son. And I was just like, ah, that felt so good to
40:30
hear. And also I love that that's because also same like I was the
40:35
anti slash old cousin who's like telling all of the new babies, come to
40:38
California. I will take care of you. I will take care of you.
40:43
I have room come to California. What do you need? What can
40:45
I do for you? Like and then the child that we were celebrating,
40:50
everyone made s do you feel celebrated this weekend? Are you feeling loved okay,
40:54
because you know, it's like we it's like there's a lot of people.
40:58
There's a lot of people, and there's like it's not that we want
41:00
to reassure that she's being loved, but it's just that moment of like all
41:05
of our efforts, let me, let's if you're not feeling loved, then
41:08
what wear's the miss right? Like, and that's more of a mental health
41:13
check. Well, and I think that's what's beautiful about giant families too,
41:17
is if someone drops the ball and says something fucking ignorant, then there's an
41:22
auntie or a cousin or an uncle or a grandparent who's like, hell,
41:29
yeah, no, that was a rough one. Come over here, yeah,
41:31
and I and I have enough patience to deal with you. Yeah,
41:36
and that because it spreads out, yes, and and the chances of you
41:39
having another family member who you are more like than other family members are high,
41:45
So then you have that moment of like, like, I have an
41:50
affection for little sisters because they're always treated like shit sometimes well not in every
41:53
family dynamic, but in what in my experience, the little sisters that I
41:59
sort of feel protective for. It's because they do have big personalities and people
42:05
don't always like like it. So I'm always the one who's like, here,
42:09
let me explain to you why that person is being shitty to you,
42:12
because I've processed it through therapy to understand well, and let me help.
42:19
Let me help you guide you. Let me help guide you so you don't
42:22
also do dumb shit like I did to get over it before you discover therapy.
42:27
And as you know, because you get the text in real time.
42:30
I'm still learning that there are so many cousins that just through statistics and distance,
42:36
I don't get to talk to as much. Yeah, but then when
42:38
I do talk to them, I'm like jewels. It's like I've been best
42:42
friends with my cousin for twenty years. We have all of the same fucking
42:45
hobbies. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and it's yeah, and there's something
42:49
so great and healing about that, Like when you meet a family member and
42:53
you're like, oh, it makes sense. Yeah, I mean, thank
42:57
you for that mutual friend. Kelly and I were talking about it in regards
43:00
to like artistry and like you've texted someone you're like, I'm into this new
43:06
thing like junk journally and they're like oh my god, I've been doing it
43:07
for weeks too. Let's exchange pages where it just like makes you feel like
43:13
you thought you were doing a solitary like activity and then it turns out like,
43:17
like through distance and statistics and all of it, you were actually doing
43:22
that with your friend and now you new thing to talk about. Yeah,
43:25
which is also another great thing. And I think that I think that what
43:32
this conversation is can serve as a reminder that community is so important and by
43:38
isolating ourselves and a societal structure that forces us to not be in community is
43:45
not healthy. And I know we've already touched on it with Wednesday, but
43:50
like the refreshing thing about like Adam's family and my family is no, what
43:55
matter what off the wall fucking shit you're gonna say about yourself, like someone's
44:00
going to be like, oh hell yeah, like they just believe you.
44:05
Like it's like I'm a tap dancer today and they're like, oh hell yeah.
44:08
I have been at a funeral where there was a dress code and I
44:15
couldn't adhere to the dress code, but I put on the specific scarf and
44:20
when one of my aunts or when one of my mom's cousins complimented it.
44:24
I was like, I thought it was my most Croatian piece of clothing,
44:28
and he just went, you know what, that's the most Croatian scarf.
44:32
It just went hell yah yeah. How often are you in a room and
44:37
you just say something that's completely insane and off the wall and you yourself have
44:43
come up with and someone's like, oh, hell yeah, yes, I
44:45
love that part. I love that part. I think that when you're in
44:50
a situation where you have good people in your family, it's it's a very
44:52
lucky situation. And I think that's what the Adams family shows us, that
44:57
you can build that and it's okay. Well, And I think the Adam's
45:00
family also serves as a reminder And honestly this holds true because Morticia and Gomez
45:07
still fuck. Is that love isn't finite? Like even more Titia with the
45:15
twins, Like she understands that that is one of Gomez's ex girlfriends, but
45:20
she also knows that these two women are important to Gomez infester because they grew
45:24
up together and whatever, right, Like, I'm not closing myself off to
45:29
this love Isn't finite? Yeah, I want to be a part of the
45:32
community. You get to be a part of the community versus what we normally
45:37
see in pop culture and entertainment, which is competition. Oh that's my husband's
45:42
ex girlfriend. I hate U kind of crap, which is again doesn't serve
45:46
any purpose other than being petty and shallow. Now, don't get me wrong,
45:51
you know that we both like being petty. You know that I love
45:52
being petty and shallow. But I think in this situation, the bigger picture
45:58
is our community stronger for it if we're just acknowledging and respecting the roles that
46:04
everyone plays in each other's lives. But also there's a security there too,
46:07
because Martician Gomez are so secure in their relationship that you know, she can
46:13
be accepting of these twins and still know that she's the one who's going to
46:16
go home and not in like a oh well I get to go home with
46:20
him kind of way, but like in a he chose me. But also
46:23
like there's a nostalgia there, And I thought, actually, I think that's
46:29
what ends up happening. When your family is also your community, and you
46:32
make sure that that's a healthy community, you you kind of just get to
46:37
set aside some bullshit yeah, because like you Penomopa may have snorted in a
46:44
very life like okay, but yeah, you're just secure enough to where you're
46:52
like, no, this is where I belong. No one's going to not
46:54
make me feel like I don't belong to you today, And I think so.
46:59
Have you said the musically Adams Family, you ask me these things like
47:02
we get musicals here or or they actually get advertised first so I can find
47:07
out about them, not get off. The only reason I saw it was
47:10
because one of my former students and one of my friend's kids was doing it
47:15
in their high school. Like I've seen the high school production. That's adorable
47:19
though, Oh my gosh, that's so cute. Though they did a fabulous
47:22
job. They have a fabulous program. And I do like high school productions
47:27
because some high schools have money and where you're paying seventeen dollars to say basically
47:31
like kind of community theater level work. Yeah, we used to have a
47:37
high school in town like that. Yeah. Yeah. So the the story
47:42
of the Adams Family musical revolves around Wednesday is going to get married, Like
47:47
she has this boy that she's bringing home and he's going to propose, and
47:51
he is very much a normy boy, and then his family comes home with
47:58
him to like meet the Adams or whatever and the whole And I think what's
48:01
so great about the Adams family and how they interact with the normies is it's
48:07
never the Adams family that is like, oh no, you're a normy,
48:12
you can't dance the mamushka. It's always like, oh no, please sit
48:16
down and have Grandma's weird soup. Like, and then it's the normies that
48:22
put up all of the boundaries to be like this is weird, this is
48:25
scary, this is creepy because they are uncomfortable. But the Atoms are like
48:30
everyone gets to come to the table. And I'm sure, like I think
48:32
there is like part of Gomez that's like, how do Wednesday meet this boy?
48:37
Out of every boy that Wednesday could have met, he's like young blonde
48:40
mister America all the way Like yeah, how like almost semi Republican? How
48:46
could this have happened? Right? And I think that's normal too. But
48:53
I think I think there's a lot to say about like just trusting that a
48:58
community will be open if they tell you that they're open to you existing,
49:04
because even within communities that like, I know I deserve to take up space
49:07
in because of so many people always making me feel like I do not deserve
49:14
the space that I take up. I'm always like, no one likes me
49:19
here. Oh yeah, I know that, feeling very very well. And
49:24
today I was talking about Mastermind Taylor Swift's song where she goes no one wanted
49:30
to play with me as a little kid, So I've been scheming like a
49:35
criminal ever since to make them love me and make it seem effortless. I'm
49:40
like, oh God, I am Taylor Swift and she is me because how
49:45
often do I tell you, Jewels, I don't actually think I have friends.
49:47
I think I tricked everyone into me my friends, Jewels, I don't
49:52
have friends. I just guess lit everyone because I'm smarter than everyone. I
49:57
am what Taylor Swift would call a mastermind. Yes, I'm not here on
50:02
my own free will. Ever, No, I've just tricked everyone, I
50:07
think, But I also think too when you do kind of come from what
50:10
I Okay, so let me start overt dial it back. The thing that
50:15
I also love is that even though the world does try to other them,
50:22
it doesn't affect the kids. Yeah, versus our experience in being othered and
50:29
how because I was talking about this in book club on Sunday, Like,
50:32
I don't understand mixed kids who have a white parent and grew up predominantly in
50:38
a white community who walked out of it completely unscathed by the torment that happens
50:45
about your racial identity. Like, how did that happen? I would love
50:47
to know, because that's not my story, that's not any of my siblings
50:51
story, that's not anybody I know who's mixed story. So like, write
50:54
a book about it. Tell us how you were able to walk through that
50:58
fire unscathed, and just give us a very true yeah, because because when
51:02
you're othered and the world others you, and you don't have a solid foundation.
51:08
Not that I'm saying my family wasn't a solid foundation. There's other variables
51:12
involved too, but it is really hard sometimes, and it can be really
51:16
easy to allow that to break into you. And I think you and I
51:21
experience that when spaces are closed off to us and then we have to and
51:27
then we turn to each other and we're like, no, you're fucking smart,
51:29
No, you're fucking smart. Oh my god, everyone into wanting to
51:34
have coffee with me because I am a mastermind. No, seriously, like,
51:40
as you know, as I listen to Taylor Swift and then I so
51:46
so I listen to Taylor Swift, but then there are moments where I hear
51:51
Taylors and it's very different. And I was at that damn Eras movie on
51:55
Friday and She's like, no one wanted to play with me like a little
52:00
kid, and I'm like, I'm bawling. I've heard the song eighteen hundred
52:04
times. Yeah, And I told Carly, I said, I no saving
52:10
it for my It's in my bonus episode this week. Never mind, got
52:15
it? Tell me offline because I'll tell you I'm not and I'm impatient and
52:19
you're my friend, so I can tell you yeah, and I've gasoled you
52:22
into be my friend. So but no, Like when I was going to
52:29
therapy because I could afford it, my therapist would tell me she continuously used
52:35
the word genuine with me, and I think it was to rewrite the like
52:37
internal dialogue that I have that like I'm lying to everyone and no, Brendan
52:44
Lee Mulligan wore your bracelets and said your name out loud. Hey, guys,
52:47
did you know that Brendan le Mulligan said my name out loud, and
52:51
it was because you genuinely did a nice thing, and then you genuinely helped
52:55
out the show just because you're smart and you notice something and you wanted the
53:00
show to go. Well, it was like, I did do that.
53:05
Fine, Yeah, And I think that's it too. And I think the
53:07
other part of it is that there needs to be an understanding that you know,
53:10
you're not everyone's cup of tea. I know we say that, oh,
53:14
not everyone's cup of tea, but it's like no. But if you
53:15
find yourself in spaces where the person who sort of curated that space and you
53:21
don't jive, but you've met people in that space who were good for you,
53:24
that's okay too. That's okay too. I do say a lot in
53:29
private messages where no one, where people could screencap them and get me canceled,
53:34
where I'm like, not everyone deserves friends. Honestly, I only screencap
53:42
when I'm appalled and not everyone deserves friends. Hasn't done it? You like
53:49
this bitch, just plant out set it? Well, you know, but
53:52
sometimes and what I mean is not everyone deserves to be my friend also or
53:59
your friend or anyone's friend, because not everyone deserves friends. Well, I
54:02
think the other part of it too, is because we've always been othered in
54:06
some sort of way. You understand the coded language when someone's othering, and
54:12
that makes it really hard to be in that space. Oh yeah, I
54:15
was talking today about an episode that will come out in February, so everyone
54:20
will forget this spoiler. I was talking today about how it's almost so frustrating
54:30
to be out in public because now that feminism and anti misogyny is trendy,
54:37
which it has been trendy for a while, Like we turned it into a
54:39
capitalistic game a while ago, but I feel like it had a resurgence links
54:45
to the Women's March and pussy hats and all of that. So once it
54:49
became girl Boss trendy, people's male partners jumped on to girl Boss trendy and
54:54
learned our our language to fully gaslight us and trick us into believing that they
55:00
were allies. And I was like, it's really hard when my friends believe
55:04
that their boyfriends are doing all of the correct things. And then I'm like,
55:07
no, he's lying. Oops, oops, he's lying. Yeah,
55:12
he doesn't actually feel that way, he's just repeating things you were saying.
55:15
Right, he just knows exactly what to say to get to that point.
55:20
I think there's a I think it's Raven reviewed who did Yep, there's a
55:29
really great video on the Instagram creator Raven revealed she's a black and Jewish educator.
55:36
I found her through a guest on my show because I anyway, it's
55:40
not why, because because it doesn't matter. She posted a video this week
55:45
about ally versus accomplished, and she really gets into how the those two words
55:52
are conflated all the time, and it's it's an it's a really great explanation
56:00
and break down of the two and where even if it's unintended, someone might
56:07
fall yeah, because language is nuanced and that's okay. Well, Jules were
56:14
get into the five minute mark. So we've already talked about how we don't
56:17
have notes for the movie because I guess it was perfect. I mean ten
56:22
out of ten, i'n't have any like blatant nineties racism, no homophobia.
56:29
No, I mean, it's really and truly it holds up in such a
56:32
way that I was really I was. I'm grateful because think about what we've
56:37
watched in the last couple of weeks, because you know what movie I hate
56:38
from the nineties that people like to tell me I'm wrong and know it's not
56:42
Alone. We know that I hate Home Alone. Okay, it's a fucking
56:45
Dennis the Menace movie. My other grandma used to like make me watch Dennis
56:53
A Menace because it was a VHS that she owned All the fucking time.
56:57
I hated Dennis se Menace like I was surrounded by such nice and carrying great
57:02
uncles and great aunts and humans that were older than me, because the where
57:07
my mom grew up is like a multi generational like map of our family.
57:14
And then I go, and then you want me to watch this fucking Dennis
57:15
Amena's movie where this kid is annoying, and I mean, it's peak boy
57:21
white privilege, white boy privilege, that's why. And then that old man
57:23
is screaming the entire time because he hates that he's seven. I don't know
57:30
he's got that stupid lisp. It's not a vibe I'm meant to I can't.
57:34
I hated that movie and I made in the Home Alone movie. Yeah,
57:37
well, I we can agree to disagree on Home Alone, but I
57:42
what if I rewatched Home Alone because you made me for Stile Company, and
57:45
I'm like, oh my god, wait, Home Alone might be the funniest
57:47
movie I ever seen. And I was just a movie next year, and
57:52
I just had a bad attitude, like a twenty year bad attitude. Oh
58:00
I mean you were going to make me watch Twilight? What if I wish
58:02
had a bad attitude this whole time about Twilight? But also I don't think
58:07
I have. But instead I made you watch The Adams Family, which was
58:14
perfect because it gave us clear examples of what relationships, whether family or sexy,
58:21
should be, and it should be open, loving, accepting, blatan.
58:27
It's just like, oh hell, I'm not saying that. Like if
58:30
your cousin's mad, tell him he's being a dick. Yeah, But like
58:34
there's adoration, like they adore each other, and it's not just like Gomez
58:38
and Mantricia. They adore each other in a romantic way. But then like
58:42
Fester adores the children. Yes, well, and no one screamed at Wednesday
58:45
because she ran away into the cemetery and fell asleep somewhere, like no one
58:49
did the whole like we were worried about you. We can't believe you did
58:52
this to us. They were just like, oh, thank god we found
58:54
Wednesday. Yeah on our property, which is a huge amount of property being
59:00
in a statue, right, yeah, yeah, love ten ten ten.
59:07
Good job Adam's family. I don't even think I was worried about this one,
59:13
because I was like, no, Gomez and Mortitia's still fuck they let
59:16
Wednesday be smart. You know. I know she has a bad vie,
59:23
she has a bad reputation because she like tortures pugsy or whatever. But he
59:28
is actively like, that's how they play. I don't know's I wouldn't mind
59:31
it, doesn't mind it. He's having a fun time. That's so interesting.
59:37
It's on him, Yeah, I guess, yeah, but yeah everybody,
59:43
Well, next week will be on Jules's jewels. Do your plugs?
59:46
I was like, what can we do to end the show? Should I
59:50
just hit end? No? No? No, no, Hey, friends,
59:52
Julia Washington with pop culture makes me jealous or he analyze pop culture through
59:57
the lens of race or gender and sometimes both. This we are getting into
1:00:00
the David Beckham docu series, the four part docuseries that Netflix released two weeks
1:00:07
ago. My guest is Movies with mister Mario spoiler alert, loved it.
1:00:14
I also host Jelly Pop's book Club, where we read book to screen adaptations
1:00:17
and compare them to their screen counterparts. This week we are talking about Every
1:00:21
Summer After which is not an adaptation, but we talk about why it would
1:00:24
make a good adaptation, and we talk about what actors and actresses we'd like
1:00:30
to see in that film. It is a very interesting conversation. I think
1:00:37
that's it. I think that's all I have for this week for my show,
1:00:40
and it's gonna be great. Listen, listen to my shit, support

1:02:07
episodes. They're my spooky bitches. We talk about all of our favorite final
1:02:10
girls and how when you get to when you are a woman watching a final
1:02:15
girl in scary movies, you get to know that you two get to claw
1:02:21
and fight and scream your way out of bad situations and you don't have to
1:02:24
be polite about it. So it's a really great episode. I had a
