• 3:24
  thank

  you
• 3:25
  so
• 3:25

• 3:25
  for

  podcast.
• 3:28
  This
• 3:29
  podcast
• 3:29
  has
• 3:29
  been
• 3:29
  going
• 3:30
  for
• 3:30
  over
• 3:30
  six
• 3:30
  years
• 3:31
  now
• 3:31
  and
• 3:32
  over
• 3:32
  290
• 3:33
  episodes.
• 3:34
  And
• 3:34
  that
• 3:35
  would
• 3:35
  not
• 3:35
  have
• 3:35
  happened
• 3:36
  without
• 3:36
  your
• 3:36
  continued
• 3:37
  support.
• 3:38
  So
• 3:38
  thank

  you
• 3:39
  so
• 3:39
  much.
• 3:39
  It
• 3:39
  genuinely
• 3:40
  means
• 3:40
  so
• 3:41
  much.
• 3:41
  And
• 3:41
  I
• 3:41
  cannot
• 3:41
  believe
• 3:42
  the
• 3:42
  300th
• 3:43
  episode
• 3:43
  of
• 3:44
  verbal
• 3:44
  Diorama
• 3:45
  is
• 3:45
  right
• 3:45
  around
• 3:46
  the
• 3:46
  corner.
• 3:47
  The
• 3:48
  last
• 3:48
  episode
• 3:48
  that
• 3:48
  I
• 3:49
  did
• 3:49
  was
• 3:49
  on
• 3:50
  Sonic
• 3:50
  the
• 3:50
  Hedgehog.
• 3:51
  And
• 3:51
  really
• 3:51
  the
• 3:52
  only
• 3:52
  similarity
• 3:53
  between
• 3:53
  that
• 3:53
  movie
• 3:54
  and
• 3:54
  this
• 3:54
  is
• 3:55
  that
• 3:55
  they're
• 3:56
  both
• 3:57
  kind
• 3:57
  of
• 3:57
  fish
• 3:57
  out
• 3:58
  of
• 3:58
  water
• 3:58
  comedies
• 3:59
  and
• 3:59
  they
• 4:00
  both
• 4:00
  start
• 4:00
  with
• 4:00
  an
• 4:01
  S.
• 4:02
  And
• 4:02
  that's
• 4:02
  really
• 4:03
  the
• 4:03
  only
• 4:03
  way
• 4:04
  to
• 4:04
  link
• 4:04
  Sonic
• 4:05
  the
• 4:05
  Hedgehog
• 4:05
  with
• 4:06
  Sister
• 4:06
  Act.
• 4:07
  Now,
• 4:07
  when
• 4:07
  I
• 4:08
  was
• 4:08
  a
• 4:08
  kid,
• 4:08
  I
• 4:08
  saw
• 4:08
  Sister
• 4:09
  act
• 4:09
  for
• 4:09
  the
• 4:09
  first
• 4:09
  time
• 4:09
  and
• 4:10
  I
• 4:10
  fell
• 4:10
  in
• 4:10
  love.
• 4:11
  Genuinely.
• 4:11
  I'm
• 4:11
  not
• 4:12
  joking
• 4:12
  with
• 4:13
  the
• 4:13
  idea
• 4:13
  of
• 4:13
  becoming
• 4:14
  a
• 4:14
  nun.
• 4:15
  Now,
• 4:15
  obviously,
• 4:16
  I
• 4:16
  didn't
• 4:16
  really
• 4:16
  understand
• 4:17
  the
• 4:18
  whole
• 4:18
  murder
• 4:19
  subplot.
• 4:20
  Because
• 4:20
  to
• 4:21
  me,
• 4:22
  this
• 4:22
  was
• 4:22
  a
• 4:22
  story
• 4:22
  about
• 4:23
  a
• 4:23
  fabulous
• 4:23
  singer
• 4:24
  who
• 4:24
  becomes
• 4:24
  a
• 4:24
  nun
• 4:24
  and
• 4:25
  has
• 4:25
  a
• 4:25
  great
• 4:25
  time
• 4:26
  singing.
• 4:27
  I
• 4:27
  love
• 4:27
  the
• 4:27
  soundtrack.
• 4:28
  And
• 4:28
  I
• 4:28
  listened
• 4:28
  to
• 4:28
  it
• 4:29
  constantly
• 4:29
  when
• 4:29
  I
• 4:29
  was
• 4:29
  a
• 4:30
  child.
• 4:30
  Bear
• 4:30
  in
• 4:31
  mind
• 4:31
  as
• 4:31
  well,
• 4:31
  my
• 4:31
  family
• 4:32
  weren't
• 4:32
  Catholic.
• 4:33
  I'd
• 4:33
  never
• 4:33
  met
• 4:34
  a
• 4:34
  nun.
• 4:34
  And
• 4:35
  the
• 4:35
  only
• 4:35
  nuns
• 4:36
  in
• 4:36
  my
• 4:36
  town
• 4:36
  taught
• 4:37
  at
• 4:37
  the
• 4:37
  local
• 4:37
  Catholic
• 4:38
  school.
• 4:39
  But
• 4:39
  I
• 4:39
  decided
• 4:40
  I
• 4:40
  really
• 4:40
  wanted
• 4:40
  to
• 4:40
  be
• 4:41
  a
• 4:41
  nun
• 4:41
  because
• 4:41
  it
• 4:41
  looked
• 4:42
  fun.
• 4:43
  And
• 4:43
  obviously
• 4:44
  that
• 4:44
  idea
• 4:44
  was
• 4:45
  quashed
• 4:45
  pretty
• 4:46
  quickly
• 4:47
  when
• 4:47
  my
• 4:48
  parents
• 4:48
  explained
• 4:49
  that
• 4:49
  nun
• 4:49
  life
• 4:50
  isn't
• 4:50
  all
• 4:51
  fun
• 4:51
  trips
• 4:51
  to
• 4:51
  Reno
• 4:52
  and
• 4:52
  singing
• 4:53
  gospel
• 4:53
  music.
• 4:54
  But
• 4:54
  this
• 4:55
  movie
• 4:55
  is
• 4:55
  fun
• 4:55
  trips
• 4:56
  to
• 4:56
  Reno
• 4:56
  and
• 4:56
  singing
• 4:56
  gospel
• 4:57
  music
• 4:57
  with
• 4:58
  a
• 4:58
  little
• 4:58
  bit
• 4:58
  of
• 4:58
  mild
• 4:58
  peril
• 4:59
  on
• 4:59
  the
• 4:59
  side.
• 5:00
  So
• 5:01
  here's
• 5:01
  the
• 5:01
  trailer
• 5:01
  for
• 5:02
  Sister
• 5:02
  Act.
• 7:00
  Reno
• 7:01
  lounge
• 7:01
  singer
• 7:01
  Deloris
• 7:02
  Van
• 7:02
  Cartier
• 7:03
  is
• 7:03
  embroiled
• 7:03
  in
• 7:03
  an
• 7:04
  affair
• 7:04
  with
• 7:04
  married
• 7:04
  mobster
• 7:05
  Vince
• 7:05
  LaRocca.
• 7:06
  After
• 7:07
  witnessing
• 7:07
  Vince
• 7:08
  murder
• 7:08
  an
• 7:08
  informant,
• 7:09
  Dolores
• 7:09
  runs
• 7:10
  to
• 7:10
  the
• 7:10
  police.
• 7:11
  Lt.
• 7:11
  Eddie
• 7:12
  Souther
• 7:12
  decides
• 7:13
  that
• 7:13
  Deloris
• 7:13
  needs
• 7:14
  to
• 7:14
  go
• 7:14
  into
• 7:14
  witness
• 7:15
  protection
• 7:15
  and
• 7:16
  places
• 7:16
  her
• 7:16
  at
• 7:16
  St.
• 7:17
  Catherine's
• 7:17
  Convent
• 7:17
  in
• 7:18
  California,
• 7:18
  where
• 7:19
  she
• 7:19
  will
• 7:19
  live
• 7:19
  as
• 7:20
  a
• 7:20
  nun
• 7:20
  until
• 7:21
  her
• 7:21
  safety
• 7:21
  is
• 7:21
  guaranteed.
• 7:22
  Deloris,
• 7:23
  now
• 7:24
  Sister
• 7:24
  Mary
• 7:25
  Clarence,
• 7:25
  butts
• 7:26
  heads
• 7:26
  with
• 7:26
  the
• 7:26
  traditional
• 7:27
  Reverend
• 7:27
  Mother
• 7:28
  who
• 7:28
  assigns
• 7:29
  her
• 7:29
  to
• 7:29
  direct
• 7:29
  the
• 7:29
  church's
• 7:30
  seemingly
• 7:31
  hopeless
• 7:31
  choir.
• 7:32
  After
• 7:32
  several
• 7:33
  rehearsals,
• 7:33
  where
• 7:33
  she
• 7:34
  brings
• 7:34
  the
• 7:34
  best
• 7:34
  out
• 7:35
  of
• 7:35
  several
• 7:35
  nuns,
• 7:36
  the
• 7:36
  choir
• 7:36
  debuts
• 7:37
  both
• 7:37
  a
• 7:37
  traditional
• 7:38
  hymn
• 7:38
  and
• 7:38
  a
• 7:38
  gospel
• 7:39
  influenced
• 7:39
  version.
• 7:40
  While
• 7:41
  the
• 7:41
  Reverend
• 7:41
  Mother
• 7:42
  is
• 7:42
  irate,
• 7:42
  the
• 7:42
  Monsignor
• 7:43
  is
• 7:44
  delighted.
• 7:45
  Over
• 7:45
  time,
• 7:45
  the
• 7:45
  church's
• 7:46
  congregation
• 7:47
  grows
• 7:47
  and
• 7:47
  the
• 7:47
  nuns
• 7:48
  begin
• 7:48
  to
• 7:48
  involve
• 7:48
  themselves
• 7:49
  in
• 7:49
  the
• 7:49
  community
• 7:50
  more
• 7:50
  frequently.
• 7:51
  But
• 7:52
  with
• 7:52
  Vince's
• 7:52
  trial
• 7:53
  approaching,
• 7:53
  he
• 7:53
  becomes
• 7:54
  more
• 7:54
  desperate
• 7:54
  to
• 7:55
  find
• 7:55
  Deloris
• 7:56
  and
• 7:56
  puts
• 7:56
  a
• 7:56
  bounty
• 7:57
  on
• 7:57
  her
• 7:57
  head,
• 7:58
  leading
• 7:58
  to
• 7:58
  a
• 7:58
  corrupt
• 7:59
  officer
• 7:59
  in
• 7:59
  Souther's
• 8:00
  department
• 8:01
  telling
• 8:01
  Vince
• 8:02
  where
• 8:02
  she
• 8:02
  is.
• 8:03
  Let's
• 8:04
  run
• 8:04
  through
• 8:04
  the
• 8:04
  cast.
• 8:05

• 8:31
  Sister
• 8:32
  act
• 8:32

  written

  by

  Joseph

• 8:37
  The
• 8:38
  humble
• 8:38
  Catholic
• 8:39
  nun
• 8:39
  is
• 8:39
  more
• 8:39
  prolific
• 8:40
  on
• 8:40
  screen
• 8:40
  than
• 8:41
  you
• 8:41
  might
• 8:41
  think.
• 8:42
  Sister
• 8:42
  act
• 8:43
  is
• 8:43
  the
• 8:43
  obvious
• 8:43
  choice,
• 8:44
  along
• 8:44
  with
• 8:45
  obviously
• 8:45
  the
• 8:45
  Sound
• 8:46
  of
• 8:46
  Music.
• 8:47
  But
• 8:47
  let's
• 8:48
  just
• 8:48
  run
• 8:48
  through
• 8:48
  a
• 8:49
  couple
• 8:49
  of
• 8:49
  nun
• 8:49
  based
• 8:50
  movies.
• 8:50
  There's
• 8:51
  also
• 8:51
  Nuns
• 8:51
  on
• 8:52
  the
• 8:52
  run
• 8:52
  from
• 8:52

  I

  am

  just
• 9:30
  waiting
• 9:30
  for
• 9:30
  the

  MCU
• 9:31
  to

  introduce

  a

  The

  looked

  after

• 9:38
  So
• 9:38
  the
• 9:38
  idea
• 9:38
  for
• 9:39
  Sister
• 9:39
  act
• 9:39
  started,

• 9:44
  And
• 9:44
  yes,
• 9:45
  I
• 9:45
  realize
• 9:45
  that's
• 9:46
  not

  the

• 9:46
  at

  but

  I'm

  going
• 9:47
  to
• 9:47
  be
• 9:47
  coming
• 9:47
  to
• 9:47
  that.
• 9:48
  He
• 9:48
  was
• 9:48
  trying
• 9:48
  to
• 9:49
  come
• 9:49
  up
• 9:49
  with
• 9:49
  an
• 9:49
  idea
• 9:49
  for
• 9:50
  a
• 9:50

• 9:50
  in
• 9:50
  the
• 9:50
  late
• 9:51
  80s
• 9:51
  and
• 9:52
  kept
• 9:52
  thinking
• 9:52
  about
• 9:53
  drag.
• 9:54
  Specifically
• 9:54
  why
• 9:55
  men
• 9:55
  dressing
• 9:55
  up
• 9:56
  as
• 9:56
  women
• 9:56
  was
• 9:57
  funnier
• 9:57
  than
• 9:57
  women
• 9:58
  dressing
• 9:58
  up
• 9:58
  as
• 9:59
  men.
• 9:59
  Think
• 9:59
  of
• 10:00
  Some
• 10:00
  Like
• 10:00
  It
• 10:00
  Hot,
• 10:01
  the

  And

  in
• 10:10
  Ball
• 10:11
  of
• 10:11
  Fire.
• 10:12
  So
• 10:12
  he
• 10:12
  started
• 10:12
  to
• 10:12
  think
• 10:13
  of
• 10:13
  the
• 10:13
  funniest
• 10:13
  disguise
• 10:14
  for
• 10:14
  a

  woman.
• 10:15
  And
• 10:15
  then,
• 10:15
  blessed
• 10:16
  with
• 10:16
  some
• 10:16
  holy
• 10:17
  divine
• 10:17
  imagination,
• 10:18
  his
• 10:19
  thoughts
• 10:19
  turned
• 10:19
  to
• 10:19
  nuns
• 10:20
  and
• 10:20
  how
• 10:21
  nuns
• 10:21
  are
• 10:21
  represented
• 10:22
  in
• 10:22
  media.
• 10:23
  Usually
• 10:23
  quiet
• 10:24
  and
• 10:24
  heavily
• 10:24
  committed
• 10:25
  to
• 10:25
  their
• 10:25
  faith,
• 10:26
  but
• 10:26
  also
• 10:26
  as
• 10:27
  dictatorial,
• 10:28
  sexually
• 10:28
  repressed
• 10:29
  and
• 10:29
  scary.
• 10:30
  His
• 10:30
  words,
• 10:30
  not
• 10:31
  mine.
• 10:31
  He
• 10:32
  called
• 10:32
  this
• 10:33
  script
• 10:33
  Sister
• 10:34
  Act.
• 10:34
  He
• 10:35
  took

• 10:36
  to

  together

  they

  agreed.
• 10:38
  There

  was

  one

  who

  wanted

  She

  I'm

  about

  Whoopi

• 10:58
  I'm

  talking

  about

  Bette

  She'd

  So

  Scott

  Rudin
• 11:07
  set

  up

  a

  She

  she

  wear

  converting

  the

• 11:50
  to

  her

  way

  of

• 11:51
  And

  in

  a

  with
• 11:52
  Disney
• 11:53
  executives
• 11:53
  at

  Disney
• 11:54
  hq,
• 11:55
  everyone
• 11:55
  was
• 11:56
  praising
• 11:56
  Sister
• 11:57
  act,
• 11:57
  eager
• 11:57
  to
• 11:57
  get
• 11:57
  it
• 11:58
  made
• 11:58
  as
• 11:58
  soon
• 11:58
  as
• 11:58
  possible,
• 11:59
  agreeing
• 12:00
  that
• 12:00
  Bette
• 12:00
  Midler
• 12:01
  would
• 12:01
  be
• 12:01
  perfect
• 12:02
  and
• 12:02
  that
• 12:02
  they
• 12:02
  all
• 12:03
  love
• 12:03
  nuns
• 12:03
  because
• 12:04
  who
• 12:04
  doesn't
• 12:05
  love
• 12:05
  nuns.
• 12:07
  After
• 12:07
  his
• 12:07
  return
• 12:08
  to
• 12:08
  New
• 12:08
  York,
• 12:08
  Rudnick
• 12:09
  finished
• 12:09
  the
• 12:09
  first
• 12:09
  draft.
• 12:10
  There
• 12:10
  were
• 12:11
  questions,
• 12:11
  though,
• 12:12
  once
• 12:12
  he
• 12:12
  turned
• 12:12
  it
• 12:13
  in.
• 12:13
  Now
• 12:14
  that
• 12:14
  Bette
• 12:14
  Midler
• 12:14
  was
• 12:15
  thinking
• 12:15
  about
• 12:15
  playing
• 12:15
  the
• 12:16
  part,
• 12:16
  the
• 12:16
  film
• 12:17
  could
• 12:17
  turn
• 12:17
  into
• 12:17
  a
• 12:18
  full
• 12:18
  fledged
• 12:18
  musical,
• 12:19
  which
• 12:19
  was
• 12:20
  great
• 12:20
  because
• 12:20
  singing
• 12:21
  nuns
• 12:21
  are
• 12:21
  better
• 12:22
  than
• 12:22
  mutant
• 12:22
  nuns.
• 12:23
  But
• 12:23
  what
• 12:23
  should
• 12:24
  she
• 12:24
  sing?
• 12:24
  Original
• 12:25
  songs
• 12:25
  or
• 12:26
  go
• 12:26
  with
• 12:26
  the
• 12:27
  classics?
• 12:28
  Terry
• 12:28
  was
• 12:28
  a
• 12:28
  showgirl
• 12:29
  and
• 12:29
  feels
• 12:29
  trapped
• 12:30
  in
• 12:30
  the
• 12:30
  convent.
• 12:31
  Could
• 12:31
  she
• 12:31
  sneak
• 12:32
  some
• 12:32
  of
• 12:32
  the
• 12:32
  nuns
• 12:32
  out
• 12:33
  to
• 12:33
  a
• 12:33
  drive
• 12:33
  in
• 12:33
  movie?
• 12:34
  Somewhere
• 12:35
  a
• 12:35
  bit
• 12:35
  less
• 12:35
  nun,
• 12:36
  like.
• 12:36
  Like
• 12:36
  a
• 12:36
  bar
• 12:37
  or
• 12:37
  a

  Could

  they

  get
• 12:39
  some
• 12:39
  product
• 12:39
  placement

  in

  there

  for

• 12:41
  Could
• 12:41
  the

  nuns
• 12:42
  drink

  or

  take

  for

• 12:44
  How
• 12:45
  about
• 12:45
  showing
• 12:46
  sex?
• 12:46
  It
• 12:47
  makes
• 12:47
  sense
• 12:47
  that
• 12:47
  Terry's
• 12:48
  imposed
• 12:48
  chastity
• 12:49
  would
• 12:49
  be
• 12:49
  a
• 12:49
  source
• 12:49
  of
• 12:49
  humour.
• 12:50
  But
• 12:51
  what
• 12:51
  about
• 12:51
  women
• 12:52
  who've
• 12:52
  taken
• 12:52
  a
• 12:52
  vow
• 12:53
  of
• 12:53
  celibacy?
• 12:54
  And
• 12:54
  what
• 12:54
  if
• 12:54
  the
• 12:54
  nuns
• 12:55
  were
• 12:55
  so
• 12:55
  sexy
• 12:56
  that
• 12:56
  a
• 12:56
  male
• 12:57
  character
• 12:57
  might
• 12:58
  start
• 12:58
  to
• 12:58
  fancy
• 12:59
  one
• 12:59
  of
• 12:59
  them?
• 12:59
  But
• 13:00
  all
• 13:00
  these
• 13:00
  questions
• 13:01
  and
• 13:01
  the
• 13:01
  potential
• 13:02
  answers
• 13:03
  started
• 13:03
  to
• 13:03
  cause
• 13:03
  a
• 13:04
  concern
• 13:04
  for
• 13:04
  Bette
• 13:05
  Midler.
• 13:05
  She
• 13:05
  worried
• 13:06
  about
• 13:06
  her
• 13:06
  image.
• 13:07
  Playing
• 13:07
  a
• 13:08
  nun
• 13:08
  was
• 13:08
  bad
• 13:08
  enough,
• 13:09
  but
• 13:09
  a
• 13:09
  naughty
• 13:09
  nun
• 13:10
  was
• 13:10
  something
• 13:10
  else.
• 13:11
  Clearly,
• 13:12
  they
• 13:12
  needed
• 13:12
  intense
• 13:13
  research
• 13:13
  on

  told
• 15:02
  he
• 15:02
  was
• 15:02
  researching
• 15:03
  a

  novel

  about

  a

  of

  Sisteract

  and

  all
• 15:10
  the

  sinful

  behaviour

  contained

  within
• 15:13
  life
• 15:13
  at

  Regina.
• 15:14
  Now
• 15:14
  this
• 15:14
  was
• 15:14
  a
• 15:14
  life
• 15:14
  that
• 15:15
  was
• 15:15
  slowly
• 15:15
  becoming
• 15:16
  extinct
• 15:16
  in
• 15:16
  America.
• 15:17
  Convents
• 15:18
  and
• 15:18
  monasteries
• 15:19
  were
• 15:19
  closing
• 15:19
  and
• 15:19
  being
• 15:20
  sold
• 15:20
  off,
• 15:21
  and
• 15:21
  those
• 15:21
  that
• 15:21
  remained
• 15:22
  had
• 15:22
  an
• 15:22
  average
• 15:22
  age
• 15:23
  of

  a

• 15:23
  well
• 15:24
  past

  retirement

  age.
• 15:25
  In
• 15:26
  the
• 15:26
  early
• 15:26
  20th
• 15:26
  century,
• 15:27
  a
• 15:27
  young
• 15:27
  woman
• 15:28
  was
• 15:28
  expected
• 15:28
  to
• 15:28
  get
• 15:29
  married
• 15:29
  and
• 15:29
  her
• 15:30
  employment
• 15:30
  options
• 15:30
  were
• 15:31
  limited.
• 15:31
  So
• 15:32
  becoming
• 15:32
  a
• 15:32
  nun
• 15:32
  could
• 15:33
  actually
• 15:33
  be
• 15:33
  a
• 15:34
  route
• 15:34
  to

  independence.
• 15:35
  Post

  the

  age,
• 15:37
  the

• 15:38
  to
• 15:38
  women
• 15:38
  at
• 15:38
  home
• 15:39
  and
• 15:39
  the
• 15:39
  workplace
• 15:40
  were
• 15:40
  much
• 15:40
  greater.
• 15:41
  Many
• 15:41
  Catholic
• 15:42
  orders
• 15:42
  attempted
• 15:43
  to
• 15:43
  modernize
• 15:43
  their
• 15:44
  missions,
• 15:44
  including
• 15:45
  the
• 15:45
  traditional
• 15:46
  habitat.
• 15:46
  The
• 15:47
  point
• 15:47
  of
• 15:47
  a
• 15:47
  habit
• 15:48
  wasn't
• 15:48
  to
• 15:48
  stand
• 15:48
  out,
• 15:49
  it
• 15:49
  was
• 15:49
  to
• 15:49
  stay
• 15:50
  humble.

  After

  which

  at

  revolutionising

  the

• 16:06
  and

• 16:07
  the

• 16:07
  produced
• 16:08
  16
• 16:08
  documents,

  including
• 16:10
  constitutions,
• 16:11
  decrees
• 16:11
  and
• 16:12
  declarations
• 16:13
  that

  various

  of

  its

  with

  the

• 16:18
  This

  included

  allowing

  Once

  Goldberg

  watered

  it

  would

  played

  by

  Harvey
• 20:30
  Keitel,
• 20:31
  but
• 20:31
  Disney
• 20:31
  spent
• 20:32
  ages
• 20:32
  deadlocked
• 20:33
  over
• 20:33
  the
• 20:33
  casting
• 20:33
  of
• 20:34
  Lieutenant
• 20:34
  Eddie
• 20:35
  Sober
• 20:35
  as
• 20:35
  to
• 20:36
  whether
• 20:36
  the
• 20:36
  character
• 20:36
  should
• 20:37
  be
• 20:37
  white
• 20:37
  or
• 20:38
  black,
• 20:38
  with
• 20:39
  one
• 20:39
  executive
• 20:40
  suggesting
• 20:40
  Edward
• 20:41
  James
• 20:41
  Olmos
• 20:42
  as
• 20:42
  a
• 20:42
  compromise,
• 20:43
  who
• 20:43
  is
• 20:43
  neither
• 20:43
  black
• 20:44
  nor
• 20:44
  white,
• 20:45
  but
• 20:45
  Latino.
• 20:46
  The
• 20:46
  rewriting
• 20:47
  process
• 20:47
  would
• 20:47
  lead
• 20:48
  Rudnick
• 20:48
  to
• 20:48
  quit.
• 20:49
  He
• 20:49
  wouldn't
• 20:49
  hear
• 20:50
  from
• 20:50
  Disney
• 20:50
  again
• 20:51
  until
• 20:51
  late
• 20:51
  1991,
• 20:52
  when
• 20:53
  the
• 20:53
  final
• 20:53
  script
• 20:53
  was
• 20:54
  sent
• 20:54
  to
• 20:54
  him.
• 20:54
  But
• 20:55
  it
• 20:55
  resembled
• 20:55
  very
• 20:56
  little
• 20:56
  of
• 20:56
  his
• 20:56
  original
• 20:57
  idea,
• 20:57
  and
• 20:57
  he
• 20:57
  asked
• 20:58
  for
• 20:58
  his
• 20:58
  name
• 20:58
  to
• 20:58
  be
• 20:59
  removed
• 20:59
  from
• 20:59
  the
• 20:59
  credits.
• 21:00
  When
• 21:01
  Disney
• 21:01
  refused
• 21:01
  to
• 21:02
  do
• 21:02
  that,
• 21:02
  he
• 21:02
  suggested
• 21:03
  a
• 21:03
  pseudonym.
• 21:04
  Firstly
• 21:05
  R.
• 21:05
  Shasable,
• 21:06
  after
• 21:07
  Reverend
• 21:07
  Shazable,
• 21:08
  the
• 21:08
  priest
• 21:08
  in
• 21:08
  Oscar
• 21:09
  Wilde's
• 21:09
  the
• 21:09
  Importance
• 21:10
  of
• 21:10
  Being
• 21:10
  Earnest.
• 21:11
  Then
• 21:11
  simply
• 21:12
  Goofy,
• 21:12
  which
• 21:13
  Disney
• 21:13
  also
• 21:13
  didn't
• 21:14
  like.
• 21:14
  He
• 21:15
  chose
• 21:15
  the
• 21:15
  name
• 21:15
  Joseph
• 21:16
  Howard
• 21:16
  from
• 21:17
  a
• 21:17
  character
• 21:17
  from
• 21:17
  a
• 21:17
  story
• 21:18
  he'd
• 21:18
  written,
• 21:19
  plus
• 21:19
  his
• 21:19
  brother's
• 21:20
  middle
• 21:20
  name.
• 21:20
  And
• 21:21
  that's
• 21:21
  why
• 21:21
  Paul
• 21:21
  Rudnick
• 21:22
  is
• 21:22
  not
• 21:22
  credited
• 21:23
  as
• 21:23
  Paul
• 21:24
  Rudnick
• 21:24
  and
• 21:25
  instead
• 21:25
  is
• 21:25
  credited
• 21:26
  as
• 21:26
  Joseph
• 21:27
  Howard.
• 21:28
  Now,
• 21:28
  obviously,
• 21:29
  when
• 21:29
  Whoopi
• 21:29
  Goldberg
• 21:30
  joined
• 21:30
  the
• 21:30
  production,
• 21:31
  the
• 21:31
  script
• 21:31
  said
• 21:32
  that
• 21:32
  she
• 21:32
  would
• 21:32
  lead
• 21:32
  the
• 21:33
  choir
• 21:33
  of
• 21:33
  nuns,
• 21:34
  as
• 21:34
  well
• 21:34
  as
• 21:35
  perform
• 21:35
  as
• 21:35
  Dolores,
• 21:36
  the
• 21:36
  lead
• 21:36
  singer
• 21:37
  of
• 21:37
  the
• 21:37
  Ronelles,
• 21:38
  in
• 21:38
  a
• 21:38
  show
• 21:38
  in
• 21:38
  Reno.
• 21:39
  Goldberg,
• 21:40
  however,
• 21:40
  didn't
• 21:41
  know
• 21:41
  how
• 21:41
  to
• 21:42
  sing.
• 21:42
  Rather
• 21:43
  than
• 21:43
  dub
• 21:43
  her
• 21:43
  vocals
• 21:44
  like
• 21:44
  for
• 21:44
  some
• 21:45
  of
• 21:45
  the
• 21:45
  characters,
• 21:46
  Goldberg
• 21:46
  and
• 21:46
  Mark
• 21:47
  Shaman
• 21:47
  got
• 21:48
  together,
• 21:48
  and
• 21:48
  Shaman
• 21:49
  taught
• 21:49
  her
• 21:49
  how
• 21:49
  to
• 21:50
  sing,
• 21:50
  and
• 21:50
  she
• 21:51
  dedicated
• 21:51
  herself
• 21:52
  to
• 21:52
  her
• 21:52
  singing
• 21:52
  lessons.
• 21:53
  Shaman
• 21:54
  also
• 21:54
  hired
• 21:55
  Jennifer
• 21:55
  Lewis
• 21:55
  and
• 21:56
  Charlotte
• 21:56
  Crossley
• 21:57
  to
• 21:57
  play
• 21:57
  Dolores
• 21:58
  Ronelles,
• 21:58
  and
• 21:59
  they
• 21:59
  supported
• 21:59
  Goldberg's
• 22:00
  vocals
• 22:01
  and
• 22:01
  re
• 22:01
  recorded
• 22:02
  some
• 22:02
  Motown
• 22:02
  classics
• 22:03
  that
• 22:03
  would
• 22:03
  form
• 22:03
  the
• 22:04
  basis
• 22:04
  of
• 22:04
  the
• 22:04
  soundtrack.
• 22:06
  That
• 22:06
  doesn't
• 22:06
  mean
• 22:06
  Goldberg
• 22:07
  had
• 22:07
  an
• 22:07
  easy
• 22:08
  time
• 22:08
  on
• 22:08
  the
• 22:08
  movie,
• 22:08
  though.
• 22:09
  She
• 22:09
  and
• 22:09
  Disney
• 22:10
  squabbled
• 22:11
  over

• 22:15
  Production
• 22:16
  commenced
• 22:16
  without

  over

  the

  of

  filming,

  no

  less

  than

  half
• 22:25
  a

• 22:32
  It

  was

  a

  constant
• 22:33
  battle

  against

  was

  Disney

  chairman

  Jeffrey

  Katzenberg.
• 23:29
  And
• 23:29
  there

  was
• 23:29
  no
• 23:30
  love
• 23:30
  lost
• 23:30
  between
• 23:31
  Goldberg
• 23:31
  and
• 23:31
  Katzenberg.
• 23:32
  It
• 23:33
  was
• 23:33
  Katzenberg
• 23:34
  who
• 23:34
  wanted
• 23:34
  a
• 23:34
  black
• 23:35
  love

  interest.
• 23:36
  Goldberg
• 23:37
  wanted
• 23:37
  to
• 23:37
  audition
• 23:37
  white
• 23:38
  actors,
• 23:38
  and
• 23:39
  Goldberg
• 23:39
  would
• 23:40
  regularly
• 23:40
  call
• 23:40
  up
• 23:40
  Fisher
• 23:41
  to

  complain
• 23:42
  about
• 23:42
  Katzenberg.
• 23:43
  Fisher
• 23:44
  suggested
• 23:44
  she
• 23:44
  avoid
• 23:45
  fighting
• 23:45
  with
• 23:45
  Katzenberg
• 23:46
  and
• 23:46
  suggested
• 23:47
  she
• 23:47
  send
• 23:47
  him
• 23:47
  a
• 23:48
  hatchet
• 23:48
  for

  him

  to

  both

  their

  behalves.
• 23:50
  So
• 23:51
  Whoopi
• 23:51
  Goldberg
• 23:52
  did
• 23:52
  in
• 23:52
  fact
• 23:53
  send
• 23:53
  Jeffrey
• 23:53
  Katzenberg
• 23:54
  a

  hatchet,
• 23:55
  and
• 23:55
  in
• 23:55
  return,
• 23:56
  he
• 23:56
  sent
• 23:57
  her
• 23:57
  a
• 23:57
  pair
• 23:57
  of
• 23:58
  brass
• 23:58
  balls.
• 23:59
  As
• 23:59
  many
• 24:00
  of

  the
• 24:00
  cast
• 24:00
  were
• 24:00
  older
• 24:01
  ladies,
• 24:01
  Goldberg
• 24:02
  noticed

  that
• 24:02
  as
• 24:03
  the
• 24:03
  star,
• 24:03
  she

  was

  treated
• 24:04
  slightly
• 24:05
  differently.
• 24:05
  She
• 24:06
  noticed
• 24:06
  some
• 24:06
  of
• 24:06
  the
• 24:06
  women
• 24:07
  were
• 24:07
  struggling
• 24:07
  financially
• 24:08
  and
• 24:09
  clearly
• 24:09
  they
• 24:09
  hadn't
• 24:10
  been
• 24:10
  compensated
• 24:11
  for
• 24:11
  their
• 24:11
  time
• 24:11
  in
• 24:12
  a
• 24:12
  way
• 24:12
  they
• 24:12
  deserved.
• 24:13
  Goldberg
• 24:14
  would
• 24:14
  say
• 24:14
  in
• 24:14
  an
• 24:14
  interview
• 24:15
  with
• 24:15
  Vulture
• 24:15
  that,
• 24:16
  quote,
• 24:16
  the
• 24:16
  ladies
• 24:17
  hadn't
• 24:17
  gotten
• 24:17
  everything
• 24:18
  I
• 24:18
  thought
• 24:18
  they
• 24:18
  should
• 24:19
  have
• 24:19
  gotten.
• 24:19
  The
• 24:20
  nuns,
• 24:20
  they
• 24:21
  were
• 24:21
  older
• 24:21
  women.
• 24:22
  They
• 24:22
  were
• 24:22
  women
• 24:22
  who
• 24:22
  I
• 24:23
  felt
• 24:23
  should
• 24:24
  be
• 24:24
  able
• 24:24
  to
• 24:24
  go
• 24:24
  and
• 24:25
  have
• 24:25
  dinner
• 24:25
  and
• 24:25
  not
• 24:25
  be
• 24:26
  worried
• 24:26
  about
• 24:26
  paying
• 24:27
  hotels
• 24:27
  or
• 24:27
  whatever
• 24:28
  it
• 24:28
  was.
• 24:30
  This
• 24:30
  group
• 24:30
  of
• 24:30
  women
• 24:31
  was
• 24:31
  indeed
• 24:31
  a
• 24:31
  sisterhood.
• 24:32
  And
• 24:32
  Whoopi
• 24:32
  Goldberg
• 24:33
  would
• 24:33
  take
• 24:33
  matters
• 24:34
  into
• 24:34
  her
• 24:34
  own
• 24:34
  hands
• 24:35
  by
• 24:35
  getting
• 24:37
  sick,
• 24:38
  which
• 24:38
  shut
• 24:38
  production
• 24:39
  down
• 24:39
  for
• 24:39
  a
• 24:39
  couple
• 24:40
  of
• 24:40
  days
• 24:40
  until
• 24:40
  the
• 24:40
  matter
• 24:41
  was
• 24:41
  sorted
• 24:42
  and
• 24:42
  the
• 24:42
  older
• 24:42
  women
• 24:43
  were
• 24:43
  compensated
• 24:44
  accordingly,
• 24:45
  by
• 24:45
  which
• 24:45
  time
• 24:45
  Goldberg
• 24:46
  got
• 24:47
  better.
• 24:49
  Goldberg
• 24:50
  denied
• 24:50
  going
• 24:50
  on
• 24:50
  strike
• 24:51
  for
• 24:51
  her
• 24:51
  castmates,
• 24:52
  instead
• 24:53
  saying
• 24:53
  to
• 24:53
  Vulture,
• 24:54
  I
• 24:55
  got
• 24:55
  sick.
• 24:55
  I
• 24:55
  would
• 24:56
  never
• 24:56
  go
• 24:56
  on
• 24:56
  strike,
• 24:57
  but
• 24:57
  if
• 24:57
  my
• 24:58
  coughing
• 24:58
  and
• 24:58
  sneezing
• 24:59
  coincided
• 24:59
  with
• 25:00
  our
• 25:00
  brief
• 25:00
  problem,
• 25:01
  but
• 25:01
  they
• 25:01
  fixed
• 25:02
  it
• 25:02
  and
• 25:02
  it
• 25:02
  was
• 25:02
  great.
• 25:05
  More
• 25:05
  issues

  And

  if

  you
• 26:57
  don't
• 26:57
  know
• 26:57
  what
• 26:57
  that

  is
• 26:58
  is

  where

  I
• 26:58
  link
• 26:59
  the

  movie
• 26:59
  that

  I'm
• 26:59
  featuring
• 27:00
  with

  Keanu

  Reeves
• 27:01
  for

  no

  reason

  than
• 27:03
  he

  is
• 27:03
  the
• 27:03
  best
• 27:03
  of

  men.
• 27:04
  Now,
• 27:05
  Keanu
• 27:05
  did
• 27:05
  attend
• 27:06
  a
• 27:06
  Catholic
• 27:06
  boys
• 27:06
  school
• 27:07
  for
• 27:07
  a
• 27:07
  year
• 27:07
  to
• 27:07
  play
• 27:08
  hockey,
• 27:08
  but
• 27:09
  he
• 27:09
  also
• 27:09
  famously
• 27:10
  played
• 27:10
  John
• 27:10
  Constantine,
• 27:11
  who
• 27:12
  is
• 27:12
  damned
• 27:12
  to
• 27:12
  hell
• 27:12
  for
• 27:13
  attempting
• 27:13
  suicide.
• 27:14
  And
• 27:14
  the
• 27:14
  moody
• 27:15
  Constantine
• 27:16
  is
• 27:16
  full
• 27:16
  of
• 27:16
  Catholic
• 27:17
  imagery,
• 27:18
  possibly
• 27:18
  some
• 27:18
  nuns,
• 27:19
  but
• 27:19
  honestly,
• 27:20
  it's
• 27:20
  been
• 27:20
  a
• 27:20
  few
• 27:20
  years
• 27:21
  since
• 27:21
  I
• 27:21
  watched
• 27:21
  it.
• 27:22
  That
• 27:22
  was
• 27:22
  for
• 27:22
  episode
• 27:23
  26,
• 27:23
  all
• 27:24
  the
• 27:24
  way
• 27:24
  back
• 27:24
  in
• 27:24
  2019.
• 27:25
  But
• 27:26
  I
• 27:26
  would
• 27:26
  highly
• 27:26
  recommend
• 27:27
  the
• 27:27
  movie
• 27:27
  Constantine.
• 27:28
  It's
• 27:28
  a
• 27:28
  great
• 27:28
  movie
• 27:29
  and
• 27:29
  wholly
• 27:30
  underrated
• 27:30
  as
• 27:31
  well.
• 27:32
  Now,
• 27:32
  I
• 27:32
  cannot
• 27:33
  talk
• 27:33
  about
• 27:33
  Sister
• 27:34
  act
• 27:34
  without
• 27:34
  talking
• 27:35
  about
• 27:35
  the
• 27:36
  incredible
• 27:36
  soundtrack
• 27:37
  to
• 27:37
  Sister
• 27:37
  act
• 27:38
  when
• 27:38
  I
• 27:38
  rewatched
• 27:39
  this
• 27:40
  movie
• 27:40
  for
• 27:40
  this
• 27:41
  episode,
• 27:41
  because
• 27:41
  I
• 27:41
  rewatch
• 27:42
  all
• 27:42
  of
• 27:42
  the
• 27:42
  movies
• 27:43
  for
• 27:43
  all
• 27:43
  of
• 27:43
  the
• 27:43
  episodes,
• 27:45
  I
• 27:46
  just
• 27:46
  sat
• 27:46
  there
• 27:46
  with
• 27:47
  a
• 27:47
  huge
• 27:47
  smile
• 27:48
  on
• 27:48
  my
• 27:48
  face
• 27:49
  clapping
• 27:49
  and
• 27:49
  singing
• 27:50
  along
• 27:50
  to
• 27:50
  the
• 27:50
  music.
• 27:51
  Genuinely,
• 27:52
  I
• 27:52
  adore
• 27:53
  this
• 27:53

  in

• 33:15
  In

  real

  a

  lot

  has

  happened

  under

  decades

  of

  in

  There

  elsewhere
• 33:30
  dramatized

  in

• 33:32
  like

  2013,

  which

  mark

  a

  decisive

  turn

  from

  happy

  nuns

  to

• 33:41
  as
• 33:42
  places

  of

  abuse

  and

  neglect.
• 33:45
  Nevertheless,
• 33:46
  this
• 33:46
  is
• 33:46
  a
• 33:46
  movie
• 33:46
  that
• 33:47
  made
• 33:47
  me
• 33:47
  want
• 33:47
  to
• 33:48
  be
• 33:48
  a
• 33:48
  nun
• 33:48
  for
• 33:48
  about
• 33:49
  five
• 33:49
  minutes.
• 33:49
  And
• 33:50
  honestly,
• 33:50
  this
• 33:50
  movie
• 33:50
  still
• 33:51
  brings
• 33:51
  me
• 33:51
  so
• 33:51
  much
• 33:52
  joy.
• 33:52
  I'll
• 33:53
  admit
• 33:53
  I
• 33:53
  love
• 33:53
  this
• 33:54
  one
• 33:54
  more
• 33:54
  than
• 33:54
  the
• 33:54
  sequel.
• 33:55
  It's
• 33:55
  just
• 33:55
  so
• 33:56
  wholesome.
• 33:56
  I
• 33:57
  thought
• 33:57
  Whoopi
• 33:57
  Goldberg
• 33:58
  was
• 33:58
  the
• 33:58
  epitome
• 33:59
  of
• 33:59
  cool,
• 33:59
  and
• 34:00
  when
• 34:00
  Maggie
• 34:00
  Smith
• 34:01
  passed
• 34:01
  last
• 34:01
  year,
• 34:02
  in
• 34:02
  a
• 34:02
  career
• 34:02
  spanning
• 34:03
  seven
• 34:03
  decades
• 34:04
  for
• 34:05
  me,
• 34:05
  she
• 34:06
  was
• 34:06
  the
• 34:06
  Reverend

  Mother

  and
• 34:08
  she

  was
• 34:08
  Granny
• 34:08
  Wendy
• 34:09
  in
• 34:09
  Hook,
• 34:10
  and
• 34:10
  they
• 34:10
  were
• 34:10
  what
• 34:10
  made
• 34:11
  me
• 34:11
  fall
• 34:11
  in
• 34:11
  love
• 34:11
  with
• 34:11
  her.
• 34:12
  RIP
• 34:13
  to
• 34:13
  a

  legend

  Religion
• 34:15
  can
• 34:15
  sometimes
• 34:15
  be
• 34:15
  an
• 34:16
  easy
• 34:16
  target
• 34:16
  for
• 34:16
  Hollywood,
• 34:17
  and
• 34:17
  Catholicism
• 34:18
  was
• 34:18
  only
• 34:19
  ever
• 34:19
  something
• 34:19
  I
• 34:19
  learned
• 34:20
  from
• 34:20
  movies.
• 34:21
  From
• 34:21
  people
• 34:21
  confessing
• 34:22
  their
• 34:22
  sins
• 34:22
  in
• 34:23
  church
• 34:23
  to

  Holy

  Communion
• 34:25
  to
• 34:25
  thinking
• 34:25
  convent
• 34:26
  life
• 34:26
  was
• 34:26
  just
• 34:27
  full
• 34:27
  of
• 34:27
  gospel
• 34:27
  music.
• 34:28
  And
• 34:28
  this
• 34:28
  is
• 34:29
  your
• 34:29
  typical
• 34:29
  traditional
• 34:30
  values,
• 34:31
  such
• 34:31
  as
• 34:31
  from
• 34:31
  the

  Reverend

  Mother

  to

  the

  of

  contemporary

  faith,
• 34:35
  being

  a

  nun
• 34:35
  for
• 34:36
  many
• 34:36
  is
• 34:36
  an

  honorable
• 34:37
  calling

  to

  devote
• 34:38
  yourself
• 34:38
  to
• 34:39
  your

  and

  to

  in

  humble

  service
• 34:42
  to

  God.
• 34:42
  And
• 34:43
  this
• 34:43
  movie,
• 34:43
  while
• 34:44
  being
• 34:44
  a
• 34:44
  comedy,
• 34:45
  doesn't
• 34:45
  speak
• 34:45
  down
• 34:46
  to
• 34:46
  that.
• 34:46
  These
• 34:47
  nuns
• 34:47
  can
• 34:47
  be
• 34:48
  in
• 34:48
  service
• 34:48
  to
• 34:48
  God
• 34:48
  and
• 34:49
  their

  community
• 34:49
  and

  also

  sing

  their

  praises
• 34:51
  in
• 34:52
  a

  modern

  way.
• 34:53
  Ultimately,
• 34:54
  Sister
• 34:54
  act
• 34:54
  is
• 34:54
  a

  movie
• 34:55
  about

  women
• 34:55
  caring

  for

  other

  women
• 34:57
  on
• 34:57
  the

  individual
• 34:58
  and
• 34:58
  collective
• 34:59
  kindness
• 34:59
  of

  women.
• 35:00
  That
• 35:00
  even
• 35:01
  if
• 35:01
  your
• 35:01
  calling
• 35:01
  is
• 35:02
  to
• 35:02
  God,
• 35:02
  you
• 35:02
  still
• 35:03
  ultimately
• 35:03
  love
• 35:03
  and
• 35:04
  care
• 35:04
  for

  other

  women.
• 35:05
  That

  race

  sexuality
• 35:07
  don't
• 35:07
  come

  into

  it.
• 35:08
  Nobody
• 35:08
  in
• 35:09
  this
• 35:09
  movie
• 35:09
  cares
• 35:09
  that
• 35:09
  Dolores
• 35:10
  is
• 35:10
  a

  black

  There

  are

  no

  race
• 35:12
  jokes,
• 35:12
  no
• 35:13
  comments.
• 35:13
  It's
• 35:13
  not
• 35:14
  nasty,
• 35:14
  cruel
• 35:15
  or
• 35:15
  diminishing.
• 35:16
  And
• 35:16
  when

  one
• 35:16
  of
• 35:17
  their

  own

  in

  trouble,
• 35:18
  the

  nuns
• 35:18
  think

  nothing

  of

• 35:23
  This

  movie
• 35:23
  is

  about

  nuns,

  but
• 35:24
  more
• 35:25
  than
• 35:25
  that,
• 35:25
  it's
• 35:25
  about

  the

  power
• 35:26
  of
• 35:26
  winning

• 35:33
  And
• 35:33
  not

  only
• 35:34
  that,

  but

  put

  a

  black

  woman
• 35:36
  in
• 35:36
  charge

  of

  the

  music

  and
• 35:37
  amazing
• 35:38
  things
• 35:38
  can

  happen.
• 35:39
  Which
• 35:39
  just
• 35:39
  speaks
• 35:40
  to
• 35:40
  the
• 35:40
  decades
• 35:40
  and
• 35:40
  decades
• 35:41
  of
• 35:41
  white
• 35:41
  artists
• 35:42
  taking
• 35:43
  inspiration,
• 35:44
  slash
• 35:44
  stealing
• 35:44
  from

  black

  artists.

  Dolores

  have

  been

  Terry

  Van
• 35:49
  Cartier,
• 35:49
  a
• 35:50
  white
• 35:50
  woman
• 35:50
  played
• 35:51
  impeccably,
• 35:51
  I'm
• 35:51
  sure,
• 35:52
  by
• 35:52
  Bette
• 35:52
  Midler,
• 35:53
  but
• 35:53
  it
• 35:53
  wouldn't
• 35:54
  have
• 35:54
  had
• 35:54
  the
• 35:54
  same
• 35:54
  cultural
• 35:55
  impact.
• 35:56
  To
• 35:56
  see
• 35:56
  a
• 35:56
  black
• 35:57
  woman
• 35:57
  in
• 35:57
  this
• 35:57
  role
• 35:58
  made
• 35:58
  it
• 35:58
  iconic,
• 35:59
  not
• 35:59
  because
• 36:00
  it
• 36:00
  was
• 36:00
  written
• 36:00
  for
• 36:01
  a
• 36:01
  black
• 36:01
  woman,
• 36:02
  but
• 36:02
  because
• 36:02
  it
• 36:02
  wasn't
• 36:03
  written
• 36:03
  for
• 36:03
  a
• 36:04
  black
• 36:04
  woman.
• 36:04
  This
• 36:05
  isn't
• 36:05
  a
• 36:05
  culture
• 36:05
  clash
• 36:06
  between
• 36:06
  white
• 36:06
  women
• 36:07
  and
• 36:07
  black
• 36:07
  women,
• 36:08
  but
• 36:08
  a
• 36:08
  culture
• 36:08
  clash
• 36:09
  of
• 36:09
  Dolores
• 36:10
  secular
• 36:10
  ways
• 36:11
  and
• 36:11
  the
• 36:11
  Sisters,
• 36:12
  more
• 36:12
  traditional
• 36:12
  religious
• 36:13
  ones.
• 36:13
  And
• 36:14
  honestly,
• 36:14
  many
• 36:14
  movies
• 36:15
  could
• 36:15
  learn
• 36:15
  a
• 36:15
  lesson
• 36:16
  from
• 36:16
  Sister
• 36:16
  act
• 36:17
  in
• 36:17
  how
• 36:17
  to
• 36:18
  depict
• 36:18
  women,
• 36:19
  especially
• 36:19
  women
• 36:20
  of
• 36:20
  a
• 36:20
  certain
• 36:21
  age.
• 36:22
  I
• 36:22
  love
• 36:22
  this
• 36:22
  movie
• 36:23
  with
• 36:23
  all
• 36:23
  my
• 36:23
  heart,
• 36:24
  but
• 36:24
  I
• 36:25
  am
• 36:25
  really
• 36:25
  glad
• 36:26
  I
• 36:26
  didn't
• 36:26
  become
• 36:26
  a
• 36:26
  nun.
• 36:27
  It's
• 36:27
  just

  not
• 36:28
  my

  calling.

  The

  next
• 37:01
  episode
• 37:02
  is
• 37:02
  going
• 37:02
  to
• 37:03
  be
• 37:03
  quite
• 37:03
  a
• 37:03
  big
• 37:03
  one
• 37:04
  actually.
• 37:04
  It's
• 37:04
  one
• 37:04
  that
• 37:04
  I've
• 37:05
  been
• 37:05
  teasing
• 37:05
  for
• 37:05
  a
• 37:05
  little
• 37:06
  while
• 37:06
  on
• 37:06
  social
• 37:06
  media
• 37:07
  and
• 37:07
  it's
• 37:07
  one
• 37:08
  that
• 37:08
  when
• 37:08
  I
• 37:08
  did
• 37:08
  tease
• 37:09
  it
• 37:09
  for
• 37:09
  a
• 37:09
  little
• 37:09
  while
• 37:09
  on
• 37:10
  social
• 37:10
  Media.
• 37:11
  It
• 37:11
  got
• 37:12
  quite
• 37:12
  a
• 37:12
  strong
• 37:12
  reaction
• 37:13
  to
• 37:14
  how
• 37:14
  many
• 37:14
  people
• 37:14
  were
• 37:15
  really
• 37:15
  looking
• 37:15
  forward
• 37:16
  to
• 37:16
  hearing
• 37:16
  the
• 37:16
  episode.
• 37:17
  In
• 37:18
  1934,
• 37:18
  a
• 37:19
  space
• 37:19
  adventure
• 37:19
  comic
• 37:20
  strip
• 37:20
  was
• 37:20
  published
• 37:21
  aiming
• 37:21
  to
• 37:21
  compete
• 37:22
  with
• 37:22
  the
• 37:22
  already
• 37:23
  established
• 37:24
  Buck
• 37:24
  Rogers.
• 37:25
  That
• 37:25
  comic
• 37:25
  strip
• 37:26
  was
• 37:26
  Flash
• 37:27
  Gordon
• 37:28
  and
• 37:28
  it
• 37:28
  would
• 37:28
  go
• 37:29
  on
• 37:29
  to
• 37:29
  become
• 37:29
  a
• 37:29
  space
• 37:30
  opera
• 37:30
  influence.
• 37:31
  Later
• 37:31
  comic
• 37:32
  strips,
• 37:32
  superheroes
• 37:33
  and
• 37:33
  other
• 37:34
  space
• 37:34
  operas
• 37:35
  like
• 37:35
  Star
• 37:36
  wars.
• 37:37
  But
• 37:37
  in
• 37:37
  1980
• 37:38
  it
• 37:38
  became
• 37:39
  a
• 37:39
  cult
• 37:39
  classic
• 37:40
  movie
• 37:41
  that
• 37:41
  is
• 37:42
  still
• 37:42
  absolutely
• 37:43
  incredible
• 37:43
  to
• 37:43
  watch
• 37:44
  today.
• 37:45
  Join
• 37:45
  me
• 37:45
  next
• 37:46
  episode
• 37:46
  for
• 37:47
  the
• 37:47
  history
• 37:47
  and
• 37:48
  legacy
• 37:49
  of
• 37:49
  Flash
• 37:49
  Gordon.
• 37:50
  I
• 37:50
  cannot
• 37:50
  wait
• 37:51
  to
• 37:51
  do
• 37:51
  this
• 37:51
  episode
• 37:52
  and
• 37:52
  I
• 37:52
  hope
• 37:52
  you
• 37:53
  cannot
• 37:53
  wait
• 37:53
  either.
• 37:53
  But
• 37:53
  you
• 37:54
  only
• 37:54
  have
• 37:54
  to
• 37:54
  wait
• 37:54
  a
• 37:55
  week,
• 37:55
  so
• 37:55
  really
• 37:56
  not
• 37:56
  that
• 37:56
  long.
• 37:57
  And
• 37:57
  as
• 37:57
  I
• 37:57
  always
• 37:58
  say,
• 37:58
  this
• 37:58
  podcast
• 37:59
  is
• 37:59
  free
• 37:59
  and
• 37:59
  it
• 37:59
  always
• 38:00
  will
• 38:00
  be
• 38:00
  free.
• 38:00
  But
• 38:01
  because
• 38:01
  it
• 38:01
  is
• 38:01
  not
• 38:02
  free
• 38:02
  to
• 38:02
  make
• 38:02
  a
• 38:02
  podcast,
• 38:03
  this
• 38:03
  podcast
• 38:04
  does
• 38:04
  rely
• 38:04
  on
• 38:05
  the

  generous
• 38:06
  help

  from

  listen
• 38:08
  to

  this

  podcast.
• 38:09
  No
• 38:10
  one
• 38:10
  is
• 38:10
  ever

  under

• 38:17
  I

  do

  not

  have

  a
