- 4:58should jump into Gucci. Give us give us a summary.
- 5:02Right? So for the season finale, what's
- 5:05that thing continue for the season finale?
- 5:09We figured there's no better way to end the season than with the
- 5:12house of Gucci something that we've been talking about before
- 5:16even the podcast was a thing. So I'm so excited and that's 50.
- 5:23See what's happening here, and there's no summary.
- 5:32You know, I thought about doing a summary but I was like, no,
- 5:35Spencer always makes them really fun.
- 5:37When he does them. The him them himself.
- 5:39They're always really fun. So, I'll just leave that blank.
- 5:42Okay. Well, maybe maybe for this.
- 5:45Maybe first season finale, I'm gonna make up some Rihanna spot.
- 5:51I love this idea. I think that's great.
- 5:53Let's see if I could do it. Give us a summary Spencer.
- 5:57All right, actually, I don't want to do it in just a No, I've
- 6:01got to get up. We're gonna have to go back and
- 6:07Daniel. Okay, will tell you when we
- 6:09record the summary. Okay, let's if I'm gonna hit us
- 6:18with a summary, go for it, when Patricia reggiani, an outsider
- 6:23from humble beginnings, marries into the Gucci family.
- 6:27Her unbridled ambition, begins to unravel their legacy and
- 6:31triggers a reckless spiral of All revenge and ultimately
- 6:35murder and that mean I don't know how it's the summer.
- 6:38Is House of Gucci. It's Lady Gaga.
- 6:41Lots of fashion and there's murder involved.
- 6:45Yeah. Yeah.
- 6:46That pretty much sums it up. This won't be a super spoiied
- 6:50episode because we were only able to go see it once in the
- 6:53theaters, right? But uh, we won't be holding
- 6:56anything back. So this is your spoiler warning,
- 6:59right? Also, this is based on a true
- 7:01story, so you should kind of I have an idea what happened
- 7:04already. I mean, I didn't I didn't really
- 7:06know about this until I started listening to that podcast.
- 7:09Oh, well, if you're like, Elizabeth, never mind.
- 7:17All right, Liz with take us behind a wardrobe.
- 7:19Let's go behind the Wardrobe. Our director was the legendary
- 7:24for at least, Scott and equally, legendary costume designer.
- 7:28Jayanti Gates. Hmm, her notable work includes.
- 7:33M, for which she won an Oscar Kingdom of Heaven.
- 7:37Prometheus the Martian Alien, Covenant, Spencer, I know you
- 7:42love that one her most recent film besides house a cushy which
- 7:49also premiered this year, the last tool which I've been dying
- 7:54to go. See but of course as soon as I
- 7:56got to the theater, is it wasn't there anymore?
- 7:58What the heck? I really want to see it.
- 8:01I looked at it. I was like, this looks silly.
- 8:03Interesting. I cannot sit in the theater for
- 8:05that long for this movie. That was like, that was my
- 8:09thought process with that movie. I was like, I'll just looks so
- 8:12good and then I saw the run time and I was like, I can wait.
- 8:17I just totally missed it. But I am a big fan of jayanti
- 8:20eights. Everyone knows I'm a big Ridley
- 8:23Scott nerd alien is one of my all-time favorite movies, which
- 8:27I believe we might be talking about a little later.
- 8:29She did Alien Covenant and Prometheus, which Part of the
- 8:34alien that Legacy, which I love both of those movies.
- 8:36So, dearly. Jayanti.
- 8:38Eighths is one of my all-time favorites never met her, but I'm
- 8:41going to make this happen soon. Definitely.
- 8:43Should I love Gladiator and Kingdom of Heaven.
- 8:48Such a good movies. I've still never seen Gladiator,
- 8:52it's good. It's good.
- 8:54Your face does not look convinced.
- 8:58Hey. Don't comment on my face anyway.
- 9:03Auntie Yates, she has to do quite some research.
- 9:06To put this amazing wardrobe forever, which included access
- 9:12to the Gucci archives. She said, I got archive costumes
- 9:17from torelli in Rome, which were endless.
- 9:21Wonderful Yves, Saint Laurent, wonderful D, or you name it.
- 9:26They had it. She also went to research at the
- 9:29Gucci Museum in Florence. She said she was a regular Our
- 9:33visitor there, but they basically transform the room and
- 9:37there were about 15 to 20 archived pieces.
- 9:40So she was just like all in the Gucci archives.
- 9:44Oh my gosh, that sounds so fun. I was like dang because like I
- 9:50just assumed, you know, they were using you know vintage
- 9:55Gucci pieces, but they actually got them on loan.
- 10:00They had she said we had probably 30 dresses, 20 suits,
- 10:0510 coats. I don't know how many blouses
- 10:07and skirts and trousers we did, but it was fantastic and they
- 10:11were kept in a highly secure room.
- 10:14So it's like, oh, I can only imagine how much money was in
- 10:19that room. Right?
- 10:21I mean, these Gucci pieces were literally, I mean, they're like,
- 10:24artifacts, you know, and they, they're protecting their
- 10:28artifacts. That was one thing I liked
- 10:32about, The movie because it starts in like the late 70s,
- 10:35early 80s, right, but they talked about how like Gucci's
- 10:39our Museum pieces and it's like, oh, yeah, that's very true.
- 10:44Literally very self-aware. But those are our behind the
- 10:49Horchow facts, the rest, we will hear in the episode.
- 10:53I can't wait. I've been dying to do this
- 10:56episode. So let's take a little break and
- 10:59then we're going to jump into this episode.
- 11:01We're going to be right back. And jump into Gucci.
- 11:27Okay, Lisbeth hydrated. Jump into the house of Gucci.
- 11:31I am so ready. Just let me in the front doors
- 11:34father-son. I am just going to apologize.
- 11:39Now if the fake Italian accent comes out, I'm In advance.
- 11:44Yeah. We're we apologize to every
- 11:47person from Italy about our bad accents.
- 11:52I apologize. For some of my ancestors.
- 11:55I know this is probably not what you wanted for me.
- 12:01So for this episode, like Elizabeth said earlier, we're
- 12:03going to take a little differently.
- 12:05This is a pretty long movie and because it's just barely out in
- 12:08theaters and it's not streaming anywhere.
- 12:11We could only see it a couple times.
- 12:13Ames. So instead of going seen by
- 12:14saying, we're going to go character by character, and
- 12:17we're going to start with some of the supporting characters
- 12:20before we get into Gaga and Adam Driver, because we all know
- 12:23that's why you're all here. So, we're going to make you wait
- 12:25for it. So, let's actually start with
- 12:29one of my surprise. Favorite characters, was Rodolfo
- 12:32Gucci played by the Jeremy Irons, so good.
- 12:36I was obsessed of his costume. He just, I love that freakin
- 12:41handkerchief. He has around him, either.
- 12:43This is what I asked. God.
- 12:44Yes. This is what I aspire to be.
- 12:46It looks so good. Actually.
- 12:48Yes. This is going to be old man.
- 12:50Spencer, like bass got the little jacket, the handkerchief
- 12:56in the pocket. Got that, is you in like 50
- 12:59years. Thank you.
- 13:03I'm just obsessed. I just want to touch his
- 13:05soothing. It looks so soft.
- 13:07For those of you that don't know, the fidm museum.
- 13:10Just had a great house of Gucci exhibit.
- 13:13Where I actually got to go and check out a lot of these
- 13:15costumes, right before the podcast and gain up close to
- 13:18Jeremy iron suit. It's just looks so soft and
- 13:22velvety. And he looks so comfortable.
- 13:24But just so stylish and sophisticated.
- 13:27It was incredible. It was incredible.
- 13:30And I love how it just plays into his story because he was,
- 13:33you know, a star of Italian Italian silent films.
- 13:37And it's like, he really does look like a movie star even now
- 13:42that he knows. Longer acts and just works for
- 13:44Gucci. He still has that like that's
- 13:47suaveness to him. Right?
- 13:50He just looks so great. I don't know why I'm blanking.
- 13:53Do how do I not know much of Jeremy Irons work?
- 13:56Like I know him as a person but Ike like I know he's in Lion
- 13:59King, but like why am I having a hard time been playing Jeremy
- 14:03Irons right now? Honestly, me too.
- 14:07Okay wait, we're off track already, but I'm looking him up
- 14:11season one movie. He was in No, he was an ERA
- 14:14Gandhi. Remember that Aragon.
- 14:16Oh my gosh. Okay, sidebar complete sidebar.
- 14:21So I loved those books growing up.
- 14:25I've read all of them. Like at least twice to if that
- 14:29was my first just like soul-crushing disappointment in
- 14:33a film that movie was hot garbage.
- 14:36It was hot garbage. Like it was so bad.
- 14:43It's just like, how do you take something?
- 14:44That's so perfectly set up to be a movie, right?
- 14:48And make that like, oh, sorry. Yes.
- 14:51I remember. I remember working so hard to
- 14:53convince my parents to take me see that.
- 14:55I was like, I promise you this movie is about to be straight
- 14:58fire, we get there. We walked out.
- 15:01My mom looked at me and I was like, I don't know.
- 15:07It was so bad. I felt so bad for the guy.
- 15:10They got to play Aragon because I'm I like it, destroyed his
- 15:14career. I'm like, I'm sure he's like a
- 15:16fine actor but like, I don't, I don't think I've ever seen him
- 15:20after that. He was so young.
- 15:22I felt so bad for him. We got everyone who's tuning in
- 15:26for House. Of Gucci is like what?
- 15:31Anyways, last year, someone accidentally fast forward to
- 15:34this portion, Aragon. Anyways, Jeremy Irons.
- 15:39He's a legend. The reason why I can't pinpoint
- 15:41him is because he's so Legendary, he has like two
- 15:44million films under his belt. So yeah, I just remembered he
- 15:48was Alfred and the new Justice League, right, which I haven't
- 15:51seen anyways, mind, but who's our next character do get that?
- 15:58Unfortunately, Jeremy Irons wasn't in the movie that much
- 16:00but like I was sad. He was I fell in love with is
- 16:03his character so quickly, but I was sad that he was starting to
- 16:06pass away. Yeah, and it was so funny
- 16:09because like I said before this, I was listening to To a podcast
- 16:14about the Gucci's and like he was so like overly involved in
- 16:19his son's life. That I was like, oh, he's gonna
- 16:22be a big part of this movie and I was just like, no.
- 16:25Okay. Never mind.
- 16:26Well the way that the film happens though, like it doesn't
- 16:29feel like it but the film takes place over many many years.
- 16:34So that's almost like every scene.
- 16:35It was like a year had passed. So we didn't really get all of
- 16:39the details, you know, no. But like how His father always
- 16:43had. Somebody tailing him, right?
- 16:46Like that probably could have used some more explanation.
- 16:49But okay and I was like, this is trying to feel lonely
- 16:52mafia-like, but that's okay. Anyway, our next favorite Gucci
- 16:57out. Oguchi played by again.
- 17:00Legendary. Al Pacino.
- 17:03Oh my gosh. I did not think I was gonna like
- 17:07Al Pacino is out of Gucci, as much as I actually did.
- 17:10I kind of fell in love with him a little bit.
- 17:13Like oh I want this guy to be my uncle to same like except for
- 17:18the fact that he was like, yeah, I'll put the Gucci symbol on
- 17:22crap. I don't care just character, but
- 17:27he's just out of he was so kind and so just I don't know.
- 17:31It's just he had such a positive energy.
- 17:33Yeah, he had some negative qualities, but you know who
- 17:37doesn't these days who doesn't, you know, end up in prison at
- 17:41one point or another. Yeah, yeah, just some light tax
- 17:46evasion, you know, but I do love cuz he's like quintessential 70s
- 17:52and 80s. Businessman three-piece suit.
- 17:55Wow, top loud, tie loud pocket square.
- 17:59Like I'm like, that's what I think when I think of like a
- 18:02businessman during this period, right?
- 18:05I was reading the chant E8 said about Al Pacino that she had 14
- 18:11suits made for him. And he always had the most
- 18:14beautiful expensive Fabrics, which really checks to me on how
- 18:18I'll do Gucci was. Oh, yeah, a funny note.
- 18:21She said, she originally outfitted Al Pacino with a
- 18:24Panama Hat, but he didn't want to wear it because he said his
- 18:27hair. Look too great.
- 18:28And I'm like, that's fair. Mr. Pacino.
- 18:30I love that because his hair actually did.
- 18:32Look quite good in this film. Not gonna lie.
- 18:36I'm not gonna lie. But yeah, I'll do.
- 18:38I'll do Gucci looked really good.
- 18:43Also another embarrassing Revelation.
- 18:46You're probably going to hate me for this.
- 18:48I've yet to see Scarface or The Godfather.
- 18:51Fun fact. Neither have I oh wait, we just
- 18:54lost 10 subscribers. I just felt it out.
- 18:57I think so. Oh my gosh.
- 19:03Yeah, so I worked on a student film and it revolved around like
- 19:09these two sisters just like being in their house and have
- 19:13You know, like sibling conflict, but she showed us the final
- 19:17scene from Scarface, like me, the producer and the DP, and
- 19:23it's like this really bloody like shootout and she's like,
- 19:27this is the kind of energy. I one from this one, specific
- 19:31scene and it was like, okay, I mean, think about it, my dear
- 19:37listeners, you really thought me and Elizabeth were growing up
- 19:41watching Scarface or were We watching Aragon.
- 19:46I yeah, I was watching Scarface or The Godfather.
- 19:49I was watching War the Rings and every season of Stargate.
- 19:54There was, there was doing, but obviously, I know what Scarface
- 20:01and Godfather is. Like, I know the scenes of just
- 20:03anyways, this is game bad. Al Pacino looked great in this
- 20:09film. He did very Gucci.
- 20:13I love how he was just like the cuddly uncle that like wanted
- 20:17them to do well within the family business.
- 20:21Like and then especially I was like, oh, I want to Uncle where
- 20:25if I go into our family store. They're like, yeah, you can have
- 20:27whatever you want. Don't worry about it.
- 20:30Right? I was like, oh, I love this.
- 20:33I also I also love the transformation of all do.
- 20:36How once he came back from prison, his costumes got very
- 20:39different. It was a lot more being down,
- 20:42like he was still trying to To dress nicely.
- 20:43But you could tell that he was really not himself anymore.
- 20:47And I thought that the way that jayanti Yates did that I thought
- 20:51was really brilliant. Yeah, it was clear that it was
- 20:53like a little bit cheaper or like like Warren, not like nice
- 20:58and new because he always looks like he's wearing something new
- 21:01and every scene. Our next lovely co-star is Piña
- 21:07played by Selma Hayek. I was like, you know, This is a
- 21:14big budget filled with important people movie.
- 21:19Once Salma Hayek is just a like supporting role.
- 21:22Right? And I loved what she did with
- 21:26this character. It was, you know, there's not a
- 21:28lot of information on Pina, but I thought what she did with it.
- 21:32I, you know, I've thought she did a really great job.
- 21:35I agree. And I just love her introduction
- 21:38on on the TV because she's like a TV psychic.
- 21:43And like she's just wearing this great like floral printed black
- 21:49robe where it's like, yeah, you definitely try to make yourself
- 21:52look a little Mystic but you didn't put too much effort into
- 21:55it. Right?
- 21:59Just everything looks beautiful in summer, Hayek.
- 22:01I mean, there's there's no way. I mean even in prison I saw that
- 22:05was the only time she looked disheveled was not a prison in
- 22:09the courtroom. I was like, oh, is that so my
- 22:11Hayek, but other than that, She always looks brilliant.
- 22:14She did Elizabeth. Did you know, some of my
- 22:17ex-husband is the CEO of caring which at one point or still does
- 22:22own Gucci? Which I thought was a really
- 22:24cool tie. What that's funny.
- 22:27It was fate. It's almost like penis saw in
- 22:30one of her mystical fortune-telling moments.
- 22:33I think she did. I think she did.
- 22:37She didn't have a lot of costumes in this film.
- 22:39But when she did, she really made it count.
- 22:42I personally, He loved her costume.
- 22:44Win her and Patrizio were waiting to meet the gentleman
- 22:48who had soon carry out some very evil Deeds.
- 22:51I was like, is this supposed to be a disguised moment, but I
- 22:55thought it was great. That was great.
- 22:57I guess that's like the most laid-back scene in the entire
- 23:01movie and I'm just like, wow, you're really trying to dress
- 23:04nondescript right here, right? Well, let's move on.
- 23:11Who wasn't trying to dress in an Script fashion Paulo Gucci
- 23:16played by Jared Leto. I I loved Paulo Gucci so much.
- 23:25Let me just say I have never been a big fan of Jared Leto.
- 23:29I think he's an interesting guy. He's beautiful.
- 23:33I think he has a great sense of fashion.
- 23:35But after that after that first Suicide Squad, I was really kind
- 23:39of turned off. I was like, what was that and
- 23:42like All the stories. I was really trying to let us
- 23:44such a weird guy, but he really, I really turned around.
- 23:48I pulled myself out of a after I saw house, iguchi.
- 23:51I'm like, well, this is genius, work.
- 23:53I cannot get over this bridge rail.
- 23:55It's so ridiculous. And so, over the top.
- 23:59I'm sure the coochie family was not happy about this, portrayal.
- 24:04I thought it was great. I, I agree.
- 24:07I'm like, fine with Jared Leto and like, okay, you're a weird
- 24:10dude, whatever. I do like your band.
- 24:13All right, but I'm just like as an actor.
- 24:15I'm just gonna hang out or whatever.
- 24:17What? Like, you're fine.
- 24:18You're good. Great.
- 24:20This was like, oh my gosh, how what is happening?
- 24:28He opened his mouth and you just like wanted to laugh is so
- 24:34bizarre and I loved every second of it.
- 24:38Okay, my I'm only gonna do this one, bad, Italian accent and I'm
- 24:42just going to To get it out of the way, but when the scene with
- 24:45Gaza and I keep saying carga, batricia and Paulo, when she's
- 24:50trying to convince him to do some shady, which that's like
- 24:53every single scene for her when she's telling him that she she
- 24:58likes his designs and he's literally like stop it.
- 25:02He'll go to make it a me cry. Oh, thanks for busting.
- 25:08I was busting up laughing. Yeah.
- 25:13It was just so hilarious. Like I love the scene with him
- 25:17and Jeremy Irons when he's like. Oh, so you're going with pastels
- 25:22and brown just like, yes. Yes.
- 25:28Oh my gosh, corduroy suit, which I actually kind of like, I don't
- 25:35know why his family was down on it, but it just like perfectly
- 25:39encapsulates who he is. I did.
- 25:42This suit. Look, I am a huge Lady.
- 25:46Gaga fan, Super Fan status. I've been to like to hunt of her
- 25:50concerts. I'm crazy, but this suit stood
- 25:53out so hard to me. I think this might have been my
- 25:56favorite costume of the film. I love it so much, so much.
- 26:00So Elizabeth, I've started working on a sewing pattern
- 26:04because I'm going to make myself a suit.
- 26:06I'm so inspired out of corduroy. Like it won't do it.
- 26:09I won't be as complicated as this but like I need a quarter,
- 26:12right? It was just so good, do it.
- 26:15I love that idea because I love this.
- 26:16I'm also a big fan of corduroy. I'm kind of upset that it's not
- 26:20like more prevalent. We're bringing in our fashion
- 26:23these days. Yeah, we're bringing it back
- 26:25Elizabeth. We have to like Paolo Gucci is
- 26:28the moment. He is a Moment Like This, like
- 26:32the color that like vibrant maroon, which I'm like, where
- 26:36did you find that? Like that color corduroy?
- 26:40And then just like it's there's so many unnecessary.
- 26:42Hairy details, like the straps over the bell and like two
- 26:47buttons for your belt. Like what's happening here.
- 26:52It's so good. I love that suit.
- 26:54So freaking much. I think they described it as a
- 26:57raspberry color, which I'm like, okay, that works.
- 27:00It's so good and it's just like it doesn't end like when he's
- 27:04showing Patricia. His designs like that.
- 27:07Just the purple plaid with that. Like ugly Brown.
- 27:13Ty. I'm like what is your obsession
- 27:15with adding Brown everything? That's a good character.
- 27:21I was obsessed of all of his looks.
- 27:24I had a hard time watching his fashion show scene, though, I
- 27:28felt so sad. Working sad!
- 27:30I'm like, is who's this? Is this movie about Patricia
- 27:33reggiani? Or is it Paulo Gucci?
- 27:35Because I worked all those theaters being like, I can't
- 27:38believe what they did to about the Gucci.
- 27:41I don't know. I that was one thing.
- 27:44I was kind of annoyed with with this movie is because like just
- 27:48like the little bit of like research.
- 27:49I've just done about the story. Like, outside the movie is like
- 27:53the key kind of like rearrange history because I'm pretty sure
- 27:57this happened before they made their deal.
- 28:00And then even after they made their deal, they just didn't let
- 28:03him design anything. Yeah.
- 28:04I want everyone to know that when you watch House of Gucci is
- 28:09definitely not at all, how it happened.
- 28:11I mean, there's lots of Hurry, there's a lot of very accurate
- 28:15things that seem to happen in the movie.
- 28:16And there are a lot of things that seem to like happen out of
- 28:19order. Yeah, you know, but like that's
- 28:23a version of the truth is just really out of order.
- 28:25Yeah. Controversial take.
- 28:27I think they did that. To make batricia seem like more
- 28:32of a monster than she actually was who?
- 28:35That is a controversial take. Yeah.
- 28:39Definitely. I think in the theatrical sense,
- 28:42I think. They did do that.
- 28:44I think they just but still reading about her story.
- 28:47Though is still to me. She still seemed like a Monster.
- 28:51Yeah, but like he told her they were getting a divorce by
- 29:00sending his doctor to their apartment with Valium that scene
- 29:04where he likes triangles her a little bit in the bedroom.
- 29:07He actually did that in front of their daughters.
- 29:10Oh dear. Yeah.
- 29:14Let me put like not it. I mean the story had to have a
- 29:19bad guy and obviously it was going to be her, but I think
- 29:22that's why they made the rearrangements.
- 29:24They did. I did not leave the theater
- 29:26thinking. My retail Gucci was a saint at
- 29:29all. I definitely think that there is
- 29:31a lot of things that I understood why Patricio was
- 29:34pissed about to like I don't think either them were very
- 29:37good, but my read Co didn't go on and hire an assassin though.
- 29:41So know that. It is a monster levels, right?
- 29:46She and neither of them were good people, but I'm like, oh,
- 29:48you've really rearranged history here, right?
- 29:52Anyways, Paulo Gucci. Hello Gucci.
- 29:55Speaking of when they screwed him over that orange.
- 30:00This is what this is like what he looks is most shuffled when
- 30:03he's confronting them, right? You know what it reminded me of
- 30:07when Paula came out and he was really pissed, some read.
- 30:10So and Patricia he reminded me of Joaquin.
- 30:12This is version of The Joker when it came out.
- 30:15And like this really kind of, like, weird color suit looking
- 30:18all the shoveled reminded me of like the Joker.
- 30:21No, I agree. Which I thought was pretty
- 30:24awesome. Actually.
- 30:25I thought that was like a kind of a subtle note where he's just
- 30:28really falling apart. I mean Paolo Gucci spent like a
- 30:32good according to the film's, but a good portion of his life
- 30:35just being sidelined and laughed at and made kind of like a clown
- 30:39and yeah, so Joker status Totally.
- 30:43I think next we should talk about our two main characters,
- 30:48but maybe we should take a little break.
- 30:50Definitely. We should take a break.
- 30:52I'm gonna go start archiving all of my special Gucci pieces in my
- 30:56closet. So it's going to take a couple
- 30:58minutes. Okay, I think that's a good
- 31:00idea. I want to know where you're
- 31:02getting this coochie, but I think that's definitely
- 31:05something you need to do. All right.
- 31:30Well, we are back from break and we had to finish talking about
- 31:34Aragon. So don't worry that's in the
- 31:37past. We're not going to bring it up
- 31:38again. It was a very Lively
- 31:39conversation. Yeah, we just still Had too many
- 31:43thoughts and feelings about the topic that we had.
- 31:46We had to take a break and talk about it.
- 31:51We should do the episode next season.
- 31:54Don't put me through that kind of torture.
- 31:58Anyways, watching that movie is physically paint.
- 32:04She can't even talk. It's too painful.
- 32:07But you know what? I can talk about Spencer.
- 32:10Patricia reggiani played by Just beautiful.
- 32:14Perfect Lady Gaga and Maurizio Gucci played by the equally
- 32:18Perfect. Adam Driver roof.
- 32:20This is the moment. We've all been waiting for.
- 32:22This is the Super Bowl of costume.
- 32:24Design podcast moments. Oh, yes.
- 32:28Oh, yes. Like to perfect actors.
- 32:32Playing these incredible roles and jayanti eights.
- 32:36Really had just an amazing time working with Lady Gaga because
- 32:40she was kind of afraid she was like, is she.
- 32:42Anna. You know, she's very into
- 32:44costume and she was afraid. She was going to kind of want
- 32:47something over the top. But she said to Vogue for Lady
- 32:51Gaga, who said she wanted to be dressed, like her Italian mama.
- 32:56I had her own archive and the Glorious Gucci archived to draw
- 32:59from. So, when Lady Gaga told her,
- 33:02like, oh, I want to look like my mother did.
- 33:05She was like a few, like she's not going to be wanting to wear
- 33:08like anything crazy, all the time, right?
- 33:11And Was good, because they had quite a big wardrobe for
- 33:16Patricia. She has 54 script days.
- 33:20So they had to create 54 different outfits because she
- 33:25never repeats a look Yates said to Vogue, she doesn't even
- 33:29repeat an earring. Well, that's crazy, which I'm
- 33:33like that's a lot on the other hand, Maurizio Gucci, had a very
- 33:39sophisticated. Look always, very suited up.
- 33:42Jan T8 said, in an interview that she wanted Maurizio to show
- 33:46an arc in his costumes. Transitioning him from Savile
- 33:50Row suits to look you more relaxed toward the end of the
- 33:53film when he had his new girlfriend.
- 33:55So your notice he wears a lot more velvet toward the end.
- 33:58Once he gets into the 90s because he's trying to dress
- 34:01down a little to impress, his new girlfriend, but throughout
- 34:05the film, Adam drivers pretty suited up.
- 34:08He wears a suit pretty well, Elizabeth.
- 34:10I'm just going to say also I Never been a huge fan of Adam
- 34:15Driver acting wise, but that's because I come from the kylo.
- 34:20Ren Arc where I was slow to pick up on kylo Ren, but by the end,
- 34:28I became Adam Driver fan and House of Gucci, cemented it for
- 34:31me. I am now.
- 34:33Adam Driver fans. Certified.
- 34:35Good. Good.
- 34:38Oh my God. I thought she was gonna jump
- 34:40through to screen for a second. I Almost did because he always
- 34:46looks perfect in this movie, especially when they first meet
- 34:49at that masquerade, that scene was so much fun.
- 34:54Got looks so good. In that red dress.
- 34:58I want this red dress. I want this red dress.
- 35:01It needs to be mine. I read a story from Jane T8
- 35:05saying that this dress is actually changed on the spot
- 35:09because really Scott saw and he said no, no, no, He wants Lady
- 35:13Gaga to be showing more leg in this club scene.
- 35:16So they had Lady Gaga stand on the Apple box.
- 35:19Which by the way, Lady Gaga is a very, very tiny and they had her
- 35:23stand on an Apple box and it cut like, 18 inches off of it.
- 35:27I was like, what, what, what were they doing with that dress
- 35:30that long in the first place? That's like a foot and a half
- 35:36while so Ridley Scott. I mean, I have to say he came
- 35:41through with the costume. Decisions on that one.
- 35:43I thought that was a good. Good choice.
- 35:45It really was. And I love this dress for this
- 35:48scene because she walks in like, just wanting to have a good
- 35:51time. But as soon as she finds out who
- 35:55she is, she kind of turns into like a seductress and it's like
- 35:59it's a red dress. Of course.
- 36:01In our last episode. There has to be a red dress, of
- 36:04course, Lady Gaga has multiple red outfits.
- 36:08In this film, have all sorts of red flag.
- 36:12To them. So, oh my gosh, we're ending our
- 36:14season with another red dress, another red dress.
- 36:19So it's perfect because it's like, yeah, it just, it looks,
- 36:22it looks fun and cute. But when she's like, oh, I gotta
- 36:25get this man. It makes her look like a
- 36:28seductress, which is just like, so perfect.
- 36:31The way garga as Patricio was able to like you could tell when
- 36:36there was something up, you know, like something would
- 36:39change, where she would go into like, oh, I'm about to seduce
- 36:42Mauricio. Gucci right now.
- 36:43Like there is, you could tell when something, go off in her
- 36:46head and she did almost transform until like whatever
- 36:48she needs to be for that moment. This is the first time he saw
- 36:52and I was like, who like retro and then once she bumps into
- 36:58him, the next day, I'm like, I love this little like,
- 37:03undercover outfit of yours. The like the plat trench coat
- 37:07with the silk scarf around her head.
- 37:09I was like, oh, girl, like you're really Out to win this
- 37:14phrase. She looks so beautiful in this
- 37:16scene and I love the scarf around her.
- 37:18I was like really though like we all see you.
- 37:21You're not hiding. She might as well had the
- 37:23glasses of the nose and the fake mustache.
- 37:27I'm like, 32 not gonna lie, your kind of stupid.
- 37:34How do you not see this girl right now, but I do love how
- 37:38they subtly match because like he just has lucky.
- 37:42At the tan trench coat with that, like tan black and white
- 37:47sweater. And it's like they do, there's
- 37:50like a little bit of Matty match between the two of them.
- 37:53Right? I mean they were kind of they
- 37:55were pretty good mats. At first.
- 37:57It seemed like, you know, at the beginning of this movie, I was
- 37:59like, wow, this is really fairy tale.
- 38:01Like they fell in love. They were matching.
- 38:04I was I was into it which in the end.
- 38:06It's kind of sad, you know, to think about what ended up
- 38:09happening because the way they got together just was like such
- 38:12You're brilliant. True.
- 38:14Love at first. Yeah, I think she does
- 38:17definitely chase him. But I think she really did love
- 38:20him because like she hurt like in real life.
- 38:24Her mother was basically like you have to marry rich and she
- 38:28married him when he literally had nothing.
- 38:31So I'm like if she was truly a gold digger, she would not have
- 38:35done that. Right?
- 38:36Totally so good. Also good.
- 38:40All the rest of her little outfit, she wears.
- 38:42There's a lot of brown, which really looks good on Lady Gaga
- 38:47and like would not have thought of like that is like a
- 38:51flattering color on anybody. No, but I mean, of course, Gaga
- 38:55pulls it off, but I loved her little brown polka dot dress
- 38:59that she wore on their first date.
- 39:02So cute. I love that dress.
- 39:04I love that silhouette on her. It's so cute.
- 39:07I love gargas, wigs, ridiculous, and I love them.
- 39:12Play. I must say, she made a lot of
- 39:15like, interesting hair choices in this movie.
- 39:17Right? And that's kind of why I loved
- 39:19it because I think the real Patricio reggiani made
- 39:23interesting hair choices. So I like how they captured
- 39:26that. Yeah.
- 39:28No, that was brilliant. Also, I love their date outfit.
- 39:34Both of their day outfits when they go out in the rowboat.
- 39:38Oh, yeah. That was a good scene.
- 39:40I specifically liked Adam Driver.
- 39:42Ivers and blue suit that he were, I thought was very nice
- 39:46and also felt like pretty modern, you know, like this is a
- 39:49Gucci, you know, he comes from a fashion family and those little
- 39:53notes really showed on Adam drivers character.
- 39:55Absolutely. It was very modern like the blue
- 39:58jacket with, like the white turtleneck.
- 40:00I was like, oh, this is she, right?
- 40:04And it glasses really worked to. I know they were just as
- 40:06glasses, but they were School, something about them.
- 40:09I was very like, yes, I like that Adam Driver.
- 40:12Actually where those those are like not attractive glasses on
- 40:16most people so he like really pulled them off.
- 40:18Yeah, I agree. That's the magic of Adam Driver.
- 40:22Also magical Lady Gaga's wedding dress, our final wedding dress
- 40:29of the season. And this one is well worth the
- 40:32wait. I've personally always imagine
- 40:34what it'd be like to see Lady Gaga get married.
- 40:38So I was pretty excited about this and a trust was so So
- 40:43beautiful. It was so beautiful.
- 40:46It was Jenny hates favorite costume.
- 40:49She said we met two different dresses.
- 40:52We made one as per photographic evidence, which was actually
- 40:58Gucci. And then we also made a
- 41:00confection one. I call it.
- 41:01We didn't make our minds up until the morning of the shoot
- 41:05and put Gaga in both. The result was overwhelming.
- 41:08She looked so pretty in the confection dress.
- 41:11That we just went with it. So not historically accurate,
- 41:15but they were like, it looks good on her and it does, right.
- 41:21I love the how they're like. We have this archival.
- 41:24Like Gucci look. And then we have the stress of
- 41:27just looks bomb as hell on Lady Gaga.
- 41:29We put on both and they're like you look real good in that one.
- 41:32So we're just going to do it and that's fine because to me the
- 41:36dress, still felt, you know, still felt period.
- 41:39So still felt real to me. Yeah.
- 41:41I know and I thought It looks beautiful on her.
- 41:44There's so much detail in that dress.
- 41:46There's so much detail. I love the lace is very 70s.
- 41:52Very 70s. Very like applique, very just
- 41:58prominent, but I also loved her veil over that like half the
- 42:04hive right. Brilliant.
- 42:07So beautiful. It's so so big I went and saw in
- 42:11person. And this thing was the size of
- 42:14my living room like this Veil is huge but it's so beautiful.
- 42:20Another thing that's interesting to me about it is that it's like
- 42:22a high-low skirt. It's higher in the front lower
- 42:25in the back, which I thought was like an interesting choice.
- 42:29Also. It's such a tiny dress.
- 42:31I just have to say again gargas. So tiny and petite this little
- 42:35dress is so tiny. I know I'm looking at the
- 42:37pictures you took and I'm like that looks like it's for a
- 42:40child. Like that really is petite.
- 42:45Right? But the freaking Vale could have
- 42:47went across the entire room. It was huge and a so beautiful.
- 42:52So beautiful. Another beautiful white.
- 42:54Look. She has is when they go to his
- 42:58uncle's birthday and she wears this beautiful white strapless
- 43:04applique dress with the matching shrug like, oh my goodness.
- 43:11Oh, so beautiful. I love The shoulder piece, the
- 43:14shrug you're talking about look so beautiful on her.
- 43:16I love how gargas character starts to move into white,
- 43:19especially as she becomes, you know, Patricio Gucci as we had
- 43:23say, she kind of leaves like the funky colors and the Browns a
- 43:27little bit more behind as she marries into the family starts
- 43:30really sophisticated with the white.
- 43:33I agree. This is one of my favorite looks
- 43:34also. Yeah, it's beautiful.
- 43:36And like the fit on her was just like, out of this world.
- 43:41Like it's, it's Knee length, just like straight pencil skirt
- 43:46on it. But like it looks beautiful.
- 43:49It like accentuates her perfectly and then Adam Driver
- 43:54in that white and blue checkered shirt with the Navy Blazer.
- 43:58I'm like, oh my gosh. Hello.
- 44:02You did the two of you look perfect next to each other,
- 44:04right? It's almost like Maurizio brat
- 44:07Patricia, and she's like, showing up looking like an
- 44:09angel, because she's wearing all white.
- 44:11He's taking her to the family. Only for like the first time and
- 44:14she just shows up glowing and Everyone Falls like, in love
- 44:17with her right away. It's the perfect setup for the
- 44:20perfect nightmare of events. That's about to take place.
- 44:24Oh, yes, if she gets out of white pretty quickly though,
- 44:28because his father dies, not long after they have their first
- 44:33child, but she still looks good at the funeral.
- 44:37I love her funeral outfit. I mean, it was a nice dress.
- 44:41I love the white necklace. It came with it and I love, you
- 44:44know, the little veil on top, just very sophisticated, very
- 44:47classic but still fashion though, and I love Adam Driver
- 44:53suit here because it's not just like a plain black suit.
- 44:56It's like pinstriped, right? It looks really good on him.
- 45:01I mean, there's not a single suit in this movie.
- 45:03That didn't look good on out of a driver.
- 45:06He just wears a suit, so, well, he does, but she has to wear a
- 45:11red dress. To do some shady again.
- 45:14Yeah, I mean, when the red dress comes out crazy stuffs about to
- 45:18start happening, Patricio. It really falls into like the
- 45:22house of Gucci like, you know, Mission pretty quickly.
- 45:26She really does. And I love this dress, but I
- 45:29love the co even more, like, the coat with the oversized
- 45:34sunglasses. I'm just like, oh, you really
- 45:37just went for it, right? Shoe and the glasses with it,
- 45:41too. And I love the like side buttons
- 45:45are happening on the side of her dress.
- 45:47It's so beautiful. There's a scene actually that I
- 45:51want to bring up that got cut from the actual movie.
- 45:55Elizabeth. What happened to The Studio 54
- 45:57seen? It was cut and I'm very sad
- 46:00about that because we're about to get some hella good costumes.
- 46:03They had it in a trailer. I watched a film and I was
- 46:06saying they're like, where is Studio 54?
- 46:08After our Halston episode? I was basically counting down a
- 46:12day. Days, and now it's gone and I'm
- 46:14really sad about that Jan. T8 said that there was actually
- 46:18quite a bit of costumes and seen Sarah cut.
- 46:20So I'm hoping that we get some sort of director's cut with some
- 46:24more content, maybe on like a Blu-ray disc or something.
- 46:27I mean, that would be quite nice.
- 46:30But considering this was like two hours and 40 minutes.
- 46:33I understand the cuts Studio 50s Justice for Studio 54 singing
- 46:41give it to us. But Lady Gaga is becoming very
- 46:44unhappy with the family business when she finds out that their
- 46:49uncle is just letting anybody put the Gucci label on anything.
- 46:53Oh, yeah, she can't real scary real quick.
- 46:56I have to say that I didn't really understand why she was as
- 47:00upset. I'm like clearly.
- 47:02It's still working though. You know, I get I get I get why
- 47:05they're upset, but also I was like, it's okay.
- 47:08We're going to be fine, though, you know.
- 47:10Yeah, I will say I think this This was the time and Gucci when
- 47:15they're like their notoriety was kind of going down with
- 47:19wealthier clients. There were like newer, more
- 47:23exclusive designers on the market.
- 47:26So I think that's kind of, like, where she's coming from like
- 47:30because Gucci was like a status symbol and like, she's seeing
- 47:34this as like, well, if anyone can have it, then how is it a
- 47:37status symbol, right? Which, by the way, I want to
- 47:40shout out Jan. It's basically said, I believe
- 47:43she says her assistant costume designer.
- 47:46So I went on her team. They were basically in charge of
- 47:49doing all the fashion shows that happened, which we don't really
- 47:52even have you no time to talk about.
- 47:55But there were some multiple fashion shows that happened in
- 47:58this film. That were really beautiful.
- 47:59There is the Versace 1984 show. There was.
- 48:03There's that beautiful Tom Ford show em for Gucci and 95 that I
- 48:09thought was absolutely beautiful.
- 48:10The costume designer was, Possible for doing that.
- 48:13So believe. Jayanti said, it was her
- 48:15assistant costume designer and their name was Stephen o
- 48:19denardis. She said her associate designer.
- 48:22So shout out the Stefano killed it.
- 48:25I forget which one, but I think they actually it must have been
- 48:29the Tom Ford one, but I think they actually like, inner cut it
- 48:32with actual archive footage. Oh, because there is like a shot
- 48:37of Kate Moss and it's like definitely Kate Moss from the
- 48:4190s. I didn't notice that.
- 48:44Yeah, off to go back, but that Versace show though was, I'm for
- 48:49such as my favorite designer. So that was so good and like,
- 48:53seeing Grace Jones like when they went backstage, I was like,
- 48:57oh, yeah, so good, so many. Good little details in the
- 49:00background, that are even a part of the movie.
- 49:02It was so good. It was so good.
- 49:04And I feel bad for Maurizio in that scene because he's talking
- 49:09to the guy and guys like no one here would work for Iguchi, are
- 49:13you crazy? And feel like that's when
- 49:14Mauricio was kind of like, hey, hold on a second.
- 49:19It's not very nice. But anyways, back to where we
- 49:22are, where we are in the film Garg is really spiraling out of
- 49:25control. And then we get to this scene
- 49:27that I talked about earlier with Patricia and Paulo Gucci.
- 49:32And I feel that this dress. I'm kind of indifferent towards
- 49:38it because this one felt the most cos to me to me, if you
- 49:42know what, I mean with that, that black with the pink polka,
- 49:45dots of like, this felt a little caricature to me.
- 49:50Maybe it is so 80s though, right?
- 49:54I mean, that's the thing went essential 80s.
- 49:57It's so 80s. I mean, she even says that in
- 49:59the scene, she's like, hello ladies.
- 50:01And I'm like, well, hello little dancing.
- 50:06The two of them do, right. I was like, what is this?
- 50:12I love. Of it, but I don't know if we
- 50:13needed it so good. I mean, that's that's my
- 50:16favorite scene of the movie. I just felt.
- 50:18I was like this costume is crazy, but it probably is
- 50:21accurate honestly, so, you know, it was crazy.
- 50:24But I'm also like she probably wore it to appeal to Paulo, like
- 50:30that was definitely something he would probably have responded
- 50:33to, and been like, oh, you look great because it is so kind of
- 50:37like out there. That's, that's such a good
- 50:39point. Elizabeth.
- 50:40I didn't realize that she's totally wearing Just to like
- 50:43impress Paulo. So oh, yeah 100%.
- 50:47I'm so glad he said that she there is a motive behind
- 50:50everything with her. Oh, yeah.
- 50:52She never. She always has a motive.
- 50:54I think except for when she joins Maurizio and where are
- 50:59they Aspen? I don't really, I didn't really
- 51:02know. But the very snowy winter.
- 51:05He's scenes, where I thought all these costumes were brilliant,
- 51:09starting with the darker scheme. Yeah.
- 51:12Yeah, like, when she shows up just for hat, fur coat,
- 51:17completely black gold jewelry. I was like, oh, girl.
- 51:21You look so good, but you really stick out amongst these people,
- 51:26right? I mean, she shows up like she's
- 51:28the evil queen or something that costume though is just so good.
- 51:32I love all the fervor that white hat.
- 51:35Why I said hat, weird white hat, white hat.
- 51:38It was so good. But then Adam Driver in that
- 51:41turtleneck. I'm like, hello.
- 51:43That's, that's a good stuff right there.
- 51:46The man was made to wear a turtleneck.
- 51:49Like, that's what maybe 1% of the population.
- 51:52Looks that good in a turtleneck. It's like a gift from God.
- 51:56I would never even dare touch with turtleneck.
- 51:58Like he just has a, you know, I do because I live in
- 52:02Pennsylvania and it's freaking cold over here sometimes.
- 52:07But he just like it looks good on him.
- 52:10It looks so good on him. The cable knit.
- 52:13The pure White's, snowing ski ski jumper.
- 52:18I don't know. I don't ski skiing.
- 52:21I don't know skiing is but like this was this photo that were
- 52:26describing. It was like the first photo that
- 52:29came out from set to 1 as we were filming.
- 52:32So this is our first like look into what house of Gucci was
- 52:35looking like. And The world went crazy when we
- 52:38saw her in his black and Adam Driver and that cable knit
- 52:42sweater. Whoo, I mean, and for good
- 52:45reason, it's one of the two better costumes of the film.
- 52:48Truly. Like I remember I like I hadn't
- 52:50really heard about it. And then I saw this this photo
- 52:53and I was like, oh, I need to know all about this, but this
- 52:56brings us to my other favorite costume of the film, The
- 53:00patrizia's, a red ski jumpsuit. I love this costume so much
- 53:05because things have Oddly gone, terrible.
- 53:08And she shows up straight dress, like, the devil.
- 53:11She is. Mad of she is so mad.
- 53:17She like, confronts Paola. And I'm just like, she actually
- 53:22brings it up quite smoothly and Paola, just looks at her, like,
- 53:25she's crazy. But I'm like, you are kind of
- 53:28sleeping with her husband, like, right.
- 53:31I mean, makes sense that you, she would be upset with you when
- 53:33God said down in that red jumpsuit, I am Really knew that
- 53:37something bad is about to happen, like that cos 2 to me.
- 53:40It was just screaming. Like, she was basically on fire
- 53:43and she didn't have to like scream.
- 53:45She didn't have to yell. She sat down off that, like,
- 53:48glass of tea and, like, gave it a real hard bang with her spoon,
- 53:52and I about Yelp tie. If I were probably would have
- 53:55started running away. Scary.
- 53:57I don't consider myself a particularly at the court woman,
- 54:00but I am Fair besides Paolo's, like raspberry suit, we're
- 54:06talking about, Earlier, this red ski jump suit is my favorite
- 54:09costume because it's, it's just so fun.
- 54:12It says everything. Also, I love the Saint Laurent
- 54:15belt that she has around her. It's not even Gucci at Saint
- 54:18Laurent and it's just that's all just so good.
- 54:22She looks like the devil and I love it.
- 54:24It is so good. And I'm just like, you clearly
- 54:28are not here to ski. You're just here to look good.
- 54:33She's clearly here to stab someone with her skis.
- 54:37Maurizio. She's here in summary Co with
- 54:39her skis, right? But things just gets sadder and
- 54:43sadder for for Lady Gaga and Maurizio leaves her and she kind
- 54:51of goes crazy. Yeah, she unravels I guess for
- 54:56lack of a better word. Yeah.
- 54:58This the last like 30, 40 minutes of the film were
- 55:01actually kind of, at least for me.
- 55:02I thought very depressing knowing that this is based on a
- 55:05true story. Obviously, I think according to
- 55:09the story, I'm going based off of the film.
- 55:13I felt that Maurizio was definitely not a saint.
- 55:18I did not agree. If a lot of things he did,
- 55:20especially the way he like separated from her, you know, I
- 55:24don't have to if that's actually how it went down.
- 55:27That was pretty shitty. But Patrizio really like falls
- 55:31off The Rocker though, and I mean, she basically had this man
- 55:36a saint The needed because she, she's just upset about this
- 55:40divorce. I'm like, oh my gosh, we
- 55:42everyone's getting divorced these days.
- 55:44You know, like it was just, I was like, come on, don't do this
- 55:48girl, especially with her daughters.
- 55:49And I feel really terribly for her daughters.
- 55:53Yeah, and I just, I love the final scene there in together
- 55:58where he has that tan overcoat and she's in the tan fur coat
- 56:04because it's like they're still matching.
- 56:06And they're still matching because in a ways it's almost
- 56:09like they are made for each other, you know, because
- 56:12Mauricio doesn't think he's on the same level as patrizia
- 56:16sometimes but he does equally as she stuff sometimes or he's
- 56:19going to as we see in a couple scenes later where he ends up
- 56:23doing exactly what he made his uncle do.
- 56:26But if so sad seeing Patrizio all disheveled like that showing
- 56:29up to the apartment. That was so cringy.
- 56:31I didn't want to watch it. Oh that was some good acting
- 56:34with the with the photo. I was like, honey.
- 56:39Oh my oh, I wish she didn't bring up the photo album.
- 56:41That was terrible that I wanted to leave.
- 56:45I was like, this is terrible. No and I just thought his final
- 56:51his final costume, which is just like a charcoal, you know,
- 56:55jacket and pants with like the blue blue button-down think it's
- 57:00like a charcoal tie as well. I feel like he's almost come
- 57:03full circle and he kind of like I think that scene where he's
- 57:07just sitting at the cafe, he's kind of realized his mistakes in
- 57:11life. Yeah.
- 57:12I feel like they played it off as where he's kind of like a
- 57:14piece, you know, because in real life, he had already sold his
- 57:18shares. Like he had moved on, you know,
- 57:21he didn't really get that idea from the film, but like all of
- 57:24that bad stuff is kind of like, it happened is over with so I
- 57:27guess he was. I once they retire just like
- 57:30having coffee, you know, and so leisurely.
- 57:33He looked happy in a moment, which was nice because we hadn't
- 57:35seen him happier. In an hour girls, so yeah, so
- 57:40yeah, that was hard to watch but the costuming was really great
- 57:44to the storytelling. It really was and then her
- 57:47outfit when she shows back up to their home to kick out the
- 57:51girlfriend. I was like, oh talk about a
- 57:54Revenge outfit. She is nicknamed in real life,
- 57:58the Black Widow. And to me this costume, says
- 58:02everything about that. I mean, she shows up.
- 58:05I mean, she supposedly show. Showed up, not long after she
- 58:08felt, you know, about the murder kicked out his girlfriend.
- 58:11She wore like her best costume best outfit.
- 58:15She is a black widow. She didn't look sad.
- 58:17She had a tear so, but yeah, that was one of my favorite
- 58:21costumes, but happened at quite the inopportune time.
- 58:25It really did. Just like it's literally a
- 58:28leather trench coat with a fur collar.
- 58:32It feels like she planned this outfit.
- 58:34Like she knew what she was going to wear today.
- 58:36He was Third. I think she did.
- 58:38And like, I like the leather, because it's like, oh, she's
- 58:40like protecting herself. From any like, you know,
- 58:44accusations or like negative feelings.
- 58:47That might come towards her, right?
- 58:50I mean, I about died. I'm trying not to, I'm not
- 58:54trying to take away from the fact that this is a true story
- 58:56for the most part and it's very sad, but I'm going at this as a
- 59:00Gaga fan right now in this scene when she hugged the girlfriend
- 59:04and was like, can you please Score her out.
- 59:07I use like screamed again. I was like, oh my God, Gaga, you
- 59:11know, because it's like she looks at her and she hugs her
- 59:15like, oh, yes, we have like a shared sorrow in this moment and
- 59:20then it's just like, get the fuck out.
- 59:23I was like, oh my god. I've turned out the fan, girl.
- 59:31That's crazy. I was just so excited to see
- 59:35garga. From an actress point of view,
- 59:37playing a villain. I thought was very interesting.
- 59:41It was very interesting. The whole thing was interesting,
- 59:44the costumes top-notch top-notch.
- 59:49This was well worth the way. I had so much fun.
- 59:53And I'm going to re watch this movie again.
- 59:55And again, I think I'm actually going to the theaters tomorrow.
- 59:58Honestly, do it go. See it again.
- 1:00:02Well, Elizabeth that brings us to the end of the House of Gucci
