- 0:39Speaker 2: of Thrones. Yes, yes, part two of Once they lost

- 0:45Speaker 2: But they were nominated for like teen Choice Awards as
- 0:48Speaker 2: well and different Choice awards. So this is a legit show.
- 0:52Speaker 2: I'm excited. This really was one of my favorite shows.
- 0:55Speaker 1: It is a legit show. I have yet to see it.
- 0:57Speaker 1: And yes, we are talking about Once, and we were
- 0:59Speaker 1: talking about Regina, the fictional character from Once. In what
- 1:04Speaker 1: we're doing is sort of a fun holiday end of
- 1:06Speaker 1: year exchange where Samantha is taking over my fictional women
- 1:10Speaker 1: around the World segments. And I hope that you're having fun. Yes,
- 1:15Speaker 1: I am having fun. And I love the fact that
- 1:17Speaker 1: I'm making it two parter. I can't just do I
- 1:20Speaker 1: just stick around you know when I grab onto something. Yes,
- 1:23Speaker 1: I can't hold back, and yes, this is part two.
- 1:26Speaker 1: I guess we should say that there's some spoilers. If
- 1:29Speaker 1: you haven't watched it and want to watch it, I
- 1:31Speaker 1: do tell the I think finale, So go watch it
- 1:35Speaker 1: all seven seasons of it and then come back. I guess, yes,
- 1:39Speaker 1: if you watch the first season, you're good. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:42Speaker 1: but it can be fun. Like I've just been going
- 1:43Speaker 1: on this ride. I have not seen it, but I've
- 1:45Speaker 1: been having a great time. It's very a lot of shockers,
- 1:51Speaker 1: a lot of shockers, but yeah, let's get back into it.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Season two we have a resurfacing of Cora, her mother,
- 1:58Speaker 2: who also is it's kind of like blindly like I
- 2:01Speaker 2: want to make her happy and being powerful and getting
- 2:04Speaker 2: her revenge will make my daughter happy. So she's another
- 2:07Speaker 2: antagonist a part of this. The entirety of the second one, though,
- 2:11Speaker 2: is not only her getting back her magic and proving herself,
- 2:14Speaker 2: but actually trying to redeem herself. So we talked about
- 2:17Speaker 2: Regina's art before Me and you Annie, which I said
- 2:20Speaker 2: that she that's her thing. That's like, yes, she is
- 2:22Speaker 2: evil and unhappy, but she does a really a lot
- 2:25Speaker 2: of bad things, which I love how we gloss over
- 2:28Speaker 2: all the deaths to give them the redeeming arc. But
- 2:31Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, she's sure to kill a lot of people.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Well, uh, speaking up very briefly, when I did the
- 2:40Speaker 1: whole I did a whole episode about redemption and female
- 2:45Speaker 1: women villains. Once came up because a lot of times
- 2:48Speaker 1: we do that with say you're Darth Vader or you're
- 2:51Speaker 1: Kyle Wrinn, but we don't do it with women. With
- 2:54Speaker 1: women were like, yeah, die, we don't want to redeem them.
- 2:57Speaker 1: That they gave once as an example of like a
- 2:59Speaker 1: character that acts actually did kind of have a more
- 3:02Speaker 1: fulfilling arc of a woman villain other than just yeah,
- 3:07Speaker 1: she did bad, so let's get her right right right? Well,
- 3:12Speaker 1: yeah my bad, just saying.
- 3:16Speaker 2: I know that is yeah. So she in the ticket
- 3:20Speaker 2: second season is trying to redeem herself. It's the battle
- 3:22Speaker 2: her trying to figure out what she wants, what she
- 3:24Speaker 2: isn't lies that have happened, and her undoing it, and
- 3:28Speaker 2: her doing better for Henry, all these things. At this time,
- 3:32Speaker 2: Emma and snow White get trapped in the enchanted forest,
- 3:35Speaker 2: so the other world, and they're trying to get back
- 3:37Speaker 2: that we bring in a whole lot of new characters,
- 3:39Speaker 2: including Hook again. We bring back Cora. As we said,
- 3:42Speaker 2: We've got a Lancelot as a part of this conversation
- 3:45Speaker 2: soon that comes into play. I believe we have Mulan
- 3:49Speaker 2: coming into play. Oh yeah, we have Sleeping Beauty Aurora,
- 3:56Speaker 2: all of them. And then we have a little photos
- 3:58Speaker 2: like we have a soul leader coming in trying to
- 4:02Speaker 2: eat Regina. So Rumbel Stillston is trying to get his
- 4:04Speaker 2: revenge on the evil Queen, so all these things because
- 4:08Speaker 2: she had manipulated his true love away from him and
- 4:12Speaker 2: locked her up. Who was Bell by the way, So
- 4:14Speaker 2: he's Rumbel Silskin, but also the Beast because he helps
- 4:17Speaker 2: her in prison, and then she falls in love with him,
- 4:21Speaker 2: all those things. So we have all of that in play.
- 4:25Speaker 2: But this entire time, she's trying to figure herself out
- 4:28Speaker 2: on what side she wants to be in. But she
- 4:30Speaker 2: also recognizes that at one point Cora is around, and
- 4:33Speaker 2: she's trying to get make sure to save and protect
- 4:35Speaker 2: her son from her evil mother who she loves but
- 4:39Speaker 2: also scared of. Rightly so, and so we come back
- 4:44Speaker 2: with Emma and Snow coming back and Regina had the
- 4:48Speaker 2: chance of like blowing up the only access for them
- 4:51Speaker 2: to come back, that could have actually killed Snow and Emma,
- 4:56Speaker 2: but she doesn't. She chooses the better, even almost sacrificing
- 4:58Speaker 2: herself for it, and with that they'll come together. Emma
- 5:03Speaker 2: tries to give her a chance, and it's like, you know,
- 5:07Speaker 2: you can have visitation. So nothing is the legality. Essentially,
- 5:10Speaker 2: the biological mother should have no rights whatsoever, but yet
- 5:13Speaker 2: here none of that exists. So she's like, yeah, you can,
- 5:16Speaker 2: you can hang with us, you can come around all
- 5:18Speaker 2: these different things. And so she's slowly trying to get
- 5:22Speaker 2: her redeeming arc back, but everybody's going like maybe maybe
- 5:26Speaker 2: she isn't. Then we come into like where she figures
- 5:30Speaker 2: out that no one believes that she's trying because she
- 5:33Speaker 2: still has a temper, she still has things. And then
- 5:35Speaker 2: her mother comes into the picture, and her mother tries
- 5:38Speaker 2: to discredit her and make her look bad, like she
- 5:40Speaker 2: may have killed or kidnapped somebody in the town cricket
- 5:43Speaker 2: who ends up being a psychiatrist in the town. You know,
- 5:47Speaker 2: because you know better, say, And so she frames the mother,
- 5:51Speaker 2: frames her to show her how people will turn on her.
- 5:54Speaker 2: So quickly, so her goodness for a minute turns back
- 5:58Speaker 2: and she's deciding to play on the bad team again,
- 6:01Speaker 2: which hooks on that team for a minute as well,
- 6:04Speaker 2: and she's trying to get her son back and they're
- 6:06Speaker 2: gonna live happily ever after all these things. But that
- 6:10Speaker 2: turns awry, and then Peter Pan comes in the picture
- 6:13Speaker 2: and destroys everything and tries to almost kill her because
- 6:16Speaker 2: she's killed so many people that people want to kill
- 6:18Speaker 2: her obviously, including this random man from the real world.
- 6:23Speaker 2: He cares she killed him while the sun escaped, and
- 6:26Speaker 2: this son came back to try to get revenge on
- 6:28Speaker 2: her so much revenge sounds like it. But then she
- 6:34Speaker 2: finally after the realizing she was in danger and being rescued,
- 6:38Speaker 2: she comes back to playing for the good team quote
- 6:41Speaker 2: unquote to help rescue her son, who has been kidnapped
- 6:46Speaker 2: at one point, and goes to never never Land. Now
- 6:59Speaker 2: we go never leve Land. Peter Pan, by the way,
- 7:01Speaker 2: is the bad guy in this in the entirety of
- 7:03Speaker 2: the thing, who is the father of Rumbel still skin.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Okay.
- 7:08Speaker 2: Regina goes with Emma and the whole crew and they're
- 7:11Speaker 2: trying to go find Henry because they have kidnapped Henry
- 7:15Speaker 2: because he is the one true believer and all of this,
- 7:20Speaker 2: and so they need that to break spells or undo
- 7:23Speaker 2: magic or redo magic, all these things, and Regina sides
- 7:26Speaker 2: with them, but even there she kind of goes back
- 7:28Speaker 2: and forth about playing her way and being with the
- 7:31Speaker 2: evil team to do whatever she has to to get
- 7:34Speaker 2: her son. And at one point they all get captured
- 7:37Speaker 2: by Peter Pan and he Henry's in coma because he
- 7:42Speaker 2: Henry's heart is now in Peter Pan and like he's
- 7:45Speaker 2: trying to replace him, essentially, and they get trapped by
- 7:49Speaker 2: this tree of regret. So any regret that you have,
- 7:52Speaker 2: it keeps to on you tighter and tighter and tighter,
- 7:56Speaker 2: or guilt, all those things. And it turns out Regina
- 7:59Speaker 2: has no guilt or regret because it brought her to
- 8:03Speaker 2: her son, Henry. So she rescues all of them and
- 8:06Speaker 2: able to get her sign and then they all go back.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Uh oh, there's a flip, and somehow Peter Pan and
- 8:15Speaker 2: Henry's body switched. They don't know this. They trapped Henry
- 8:18Speaker 2: in a box Pandora's and Regina is so excited to
- 8:25Speaker 2: have her son back, but she knows when they go
- 8:27Speaker 2: back to the real world, she'll still be the Evil Queen.
- 8:29Speaker 2: And that's the thing, is, like the entirety of the
- 8:31Speaker 2: thing is being called the Evil Queen and not being
- 8:34Speaker 2: able to let go of that, not being able to
- 8:36Speaker 2: find her happy ending because she ruined all of that.
- 8:38Speaker 2: But she's trying very very very very very hard and
- 8:42Speaker 2: all that She's got some of the best lines and
- 8:43Speaker 2: then some of the best outfits just you know. And
- 8:47Speaker 2: she comes back and Henry all of a sudden changes
- 8:50Speaker 2: his tune, doesn't want to stay with Emma and wants
- 8:52Speaker 2: to stay with her. She's ecstatic, wanting to believe this
- 8:55Speaker 2: is real. Turns out he was just trying to get
- 8:58Speaker 2: her to get to the magical vault to be a
- 9:00Speaker 2: to do the curse again. They keep trying to do
- 9:02Speaker 2: this one curse, by the way, and so she gets
- 9:06Speaker 2: knocked out and all these like tricked, and she's so
- 9:09Speaker 2: upset that she couldn't recognize Henry because she was so
- 9:12Speaker 2: eager to be loved by him, essentially that all these
- 9:17Speaker 2: things happened. Finally things go away and they get rid
- 9:21Speaker 2: of Oh no, I mix this up because there's one
- 9:23Speaker 2: point that she does sacrifice her relationship with Henry to
- 9:29Speaker 2: save them. So there's a thing that happens where this
- 9:33Speaker 2: cursed thing was had a safe a safety net that
- 9:37Speaker 2: if she wanted to blow it all up, she could
- 9:38Speaker 2: and they'll just all return to the enchanted land and
- 9:40Speaker 2: for us, except it's only those who were born there,
- 9:44Speaker 2: so Emma and Henry are not, so they would go
- 9:47Speaker 2: without them. And so what she did is her race
- 9:50Speaker 2: because there's a lot of erasing memories, so many racing memories.
- 9:53Speaker 2: She erased Henry and Emma's memory and then tracked back
- 9:57Speaker 2: and gave him good memories as if never gave him
- 10:02Speaker 2: up for adoption, and so that means he would forget
- 10:05Speaker 2: completely about all of them. Where is that? So she
- 10:13Speaker 2: does that sacrifices, and she's so miserable when she returns
- 10:16Speaker 2: to the enchanted for us that she does anything and
- 10:18Speaker 2: everything she can to try to stop hurting from the
- 10:22Speaker 2: loss of her sign at that point in time, and
- 10:24Speaker 2: then we get introduced that we could witch who is
- 10:26Speaker 2: her half sister, what Cora had a daughter? That would
- 10:30Speaker 2: just feel like it's a back play, and so they
- 10:33Speaker 2: become whole antagonistic and like all the entire time Regina
- 10:37Speaker 2: is trying to save everybody from her, So yes, I
- 10:42Speaker 2: think you kind of understand Regina's back now at this point, right,
- 10:47Speaker 2: She finally the one thing she's never able to have
- 10:50Speaker 2: is a true love, which I find fascinating. She finally
- 10:55Speaker 2: does with Robinhood, whom she meets when they get you know,
- 10:58Speaker 2: cursed back to the enchand of Forest and then they
- 11:01Speaker 2: get sent back to the world world because of another curse,
- 11:04Speaker 2: so many curses, but they forget their memory, they lose
- 11:07Speaker 2: their memories. But there is an attraction between her and
- 11:09Speaker 2: Robin Hood, who was always intended for him, but because
- 11:13Speaker 2: she just wanted to be miserable, she pushed that aside
- 11:17Speaker 2: because she wanted to continue her revenge instead of going
- 11:21Speaker 2: for a happiness.
- 11:22Speaker 1: And then, you know, that's one of my favorite troops.
- 11:24Speaker 2: Yep. They could have been happy, they could have been happy.
- 11:27Speaker 1: But you go for revenge still she did.
- 11:30Speaker 2: You would love this part because Tinkerbell is the one
- 11:33Speaker 2: that helped her find this love and when she didn't,
- 11:36Speaker 2: she's like, why would you let this happen? Why would
- 11:38Speaker 2: you not be happy? This is why would you do?
- 11:40Speaker 2: Do you want to be miserable? You could have been happy?
- 11:43Speaker 1: This is when I shouted my fan fiction screen all
- 11:46Speaker 1: the time. There you go.
- 11:48Speaker 2: So that's another thing. But yeah, so she could have
- 11:51Speaker 2: met him, didn't, and all these other things come into play.
- 11:54Speaker 2: She finally meets him again, they're happy, or so we thought.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Oh they're not happy.
- 12:02Speaker 2: They're not happy. They're so not happy. That because Emma
- 12:09Speaker 2: gets thrown back in time at one point, back into
- 12:11Speaker 2: the Channing Force, but way before snow White and Prince
- 12:14Speaker 2: Charming Mees accidentally screws it up and tries to fix it.
- 12:17Speaker 2: And by the way, Hook is a part of this
- 12:18Speaker 2: as well, that she messes with the timeline and Miriam
- 12:27Speaker 2: was supposed to die by the hands of the Queen
- 12:29Speaker 2: way back when gets saved and brought back to the
- 12:32Speaker 2: present time and where Robin was happy with their son
- 12:37Speaker 2: with Regina, but oh no, here comes the wife. So
- 12:41Speaker 2: that gets a big foil into that plan. And this
- 12:44Speaker 2: is where Frozen is introduced and the Wicked, which is
- 12:47Speaker 2: still a part of this conversation, and Regina to save
- 12:51Speaker 2: Miriam's life because she has a spell where Mariam's heart
- 12:55Speaker 2: is heart touched by ice, much like.
- 12:57Speaker 1: Who yes, yeah, Ana, Frozen Yeahanna.
- 13:01Speaker 2: So they only cure those for them to leave the
- 13:03Speaker 2: magic so that that can't kill her, So they leave
- 13:06Speaker 2: to go to New York or Boston. No, they got
- 13:08Speaker 2: to New York. New and Boston are the two only
- 13:10Speaker 2: places they go to, by the way. New York where
- 13:14Speaker 2: Robin tries to take care of Miriam and start their
- 13:17Speaker 2: relationship again, but surprised it's not actually Miriam. It's the
- 13:21Speaker 2: wicked witch who we thought were dead, was dead a
- 13:23Speaker 2: long time ago, but she's just bodies and tricked Robin
- 13:27Speaker 2: and ended up having his baby. Oh my gosh, I
- 13:30Speaker 2: thought Robin still chose Regina and they thought they were
- 13:33Speaker 2: gonna be happy. There's this whole thing where this other
- 13:36Speaker 2: plot was the writer who did all of this and
- 13:38Speaker 2: can create all of this, can change the future. So
- 13:40Speaker 2: she tried to capture him to get her happy ending
- 13:44Speaker 2: that doesn't happen. That doesn't happen, and they all get
- 13:49Speaker 2: thrown into back to the enchanted forest. Emma becomes the
- 13:53Speaker 2: dark one and Regina's trying to save her and pretends
- 13:58Speaker 2: to be the Savior, which is what Emma's call as
- 14:00Speaker 2: the curse breaker type of that. She's known as the Savior,
- 14:03Speaker 2: and she's been prophesied as the savior and Regina tries
- 14:07Speaker 2: to take that on because Emma's now the dark one
- 14:10Speaker 2: and she can't use her powers or she'll turn evil.
- 14:12Speaker 2: All these things, but all of this leads to Robin dying.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Oh with Robin dying, but they take away that and
- 14:21Speaker 2: someone else dies for him, and they go to Hades,
- 14:24Speaker 2: and we have Hades in place, and we're talking about
- 14:26Speaker 2: the both the Tail and the Disney Disney movie, which
- 14:30Speaker 2: Hades is like a reversal of Storybrook but broken. Okay,
- 14:36Speaker 2: so all these in Quora is a part of this,
- 14:37Speaker 2: and Regina's father is a part of this, who she killed,
- 14:40Speaker 2: by the way. So Regina killed her own father because
- 14:44Speaker 2: she had to kill the thing that she loved the
- 14:46Speaker 2: most in order to get this curse.
- 14:48Speaker 1: Oh wow.
- 14:49Speaker 2: And at that time it was her father, okay, who
- 14:51Speaker 2: is in Hades, and her mother has to like try
- 14:56Speaker 2: to get them out because Hades hates her and they're
- 14:59Speaker 2: ruining his land because they're bringing in Hope quit Hope here,
- 15:04Speaker 2: and so he's trying to get Kora to get her
- 15:07Speaker 2: out to save Regina, but that also includes manipulating the
- 15:11Speaker 2: father and sending the father to even deeper hell. If
- 15:17Speaker 2: Regina refuses to leave, like all these things. But in
- 15:20Speaker 2: the end we have a nice little like he ends
- 15:22Speaker 2: up sacrificing himself, which sends them to heaven. But he
- 15:26Speaker 2: gets to meet his grandson who was named after him.
- 15:29Speaker 2: So the dad's name is Henry. She named Henry after him,
- 15:32Speaker 2: and it was a nice little moment, and she gets
- 15:33Speaker 2: a redemptive moment of like, I didn't choose the wrong thing.
- 15:37Speaker 2: Oh yeah, So we have all of that. But during
- 15:40Speaker 2: this time, Robin is with her and they're trying to
- 15:44Speaker 2: save everybody, and they finally do save them. They go
- 15:48Speaker 2: back up and Hades goes up and he ends up
- 15:51Speaker 2: killing Robin, and he really kills Robin this time. So
- 15:53Speaker 2: Robin has died a few times and at this point
- 15:55Speaker 2: finally he did.
- 15:56Speaker 1: Oh my god.
- 16:09Speaker 2: So she loses the love and all these things, and
- 16:12Speaker 2: she's heartbroken trying to figure out what to do and
- 16:15Speaker 2: can't get a happy ending. She's still with Henry, and
- 16:18Speaker 2: Henry has really helped and the two of them are
- 16:21Speaker 2: together for the most part, and Emma and Regina are
- 16:24Speaker 2: doing amazing the job co parenting. They did a great job.
- 16:28Speaker 2: Towards the end, they finally got it together. Regina kind
- 16:31Speaker 2: of becomes better. She even tries to tear away at
- 16:34Speaker 2: her evil self to be a part of her darkness
- 16:37Speaker 2: and her heart, which came back as a life lesson
- 16:41Speaker 2: because that evil Queen, which was hilarious and did a
- 16:44Speaker 2: lot of you know, foiling for the entirety of the plots,
- 16:47Speaker 2: was a lesson of like loving your true self, even
- 16:50Speaker 2: the bad part of yourself. Oh but that evil queen
- 16:54Speaker 2: found because there was an alternate world where it was written,
- 16:58Speaker 2: where robin Hood did exist, they got together, but not
- 17:01Speaker 2: Regina Oho. So Regina's happy ending, from what I remember
- 17:06Speaker 2: and listeners you can correct me, is that she got
- 17:08Speaker 2: to be queen that was loved by the people. I
- 17:13Speaker 2: believe that's the finalite. I didn't watch like I only
- 17:15Speaker 2: watched that part once because I'm not gonna lie. After
- 17:19Speaker 2: a few times, I was like, Okay, I'm done with
- 17:21Speaker 2: Regina being so sad, so sad. I get this girl,
- 17:26Speaker 2: just be happy and what I want to know. But yeah,
- 17:30Speaker 2: so she went through all of that with her finally
- 17:32Speaker 2: getting the love and respect of the people and the
- 17:35Speaker 2: fact that she has sacrificed herself even though she was
- 17:39Speaker 2: no nonsense. There's even a beautiful point between her and
- 17:42Speaker 2: snow Way, they both talked about being wrong in their
- 17:46Speaker 2: relationships in the past. Of course, you know, trying to
- 17:48Speaker 2: kill everybody, still wrong, but a legtive arc, if you will,
- 17:53Speaker 2: for both of them, and even for her understanding her mother,
- 17:57Speaker 2: and then her and the Wicked Witch had a big
- 17:59Speaker 2: following out and out, in and out, and they finally
- 18:01Speaker 2: were sisters, and then they finally got it together. So
- 18:04Speaker 2: that's Regina in a hole. And I will say one
- 18:07Speaker 2: of the things about her that people love, love, love,
- 18:10Speaker 2: and also also again hate, but that she was ridiculously realistic.
- 18:18Speaker 2: And that's the whole pragmatic bit, like while snow White
- 18:21Speaker 2: was like, if we believe it, it will be and
- 18:24Speaker 2: Regina's Okay, while you're doing that, let me go handle
- 18:27Speaker 2: this over here on this side. Let me get these
- 18:29Speaker 2: evil people. Of course, not the best in the way
- 18:35Speaker 2: she solved it, but she wasn't always wrong. And I
- 18:40Speaker 2: will say I think at the cancelation of the show
- 18:43Speaker 2: in the end, it ended up being really sad for
- 18:46Speaker 2: her because the way it kind of abruptly ended for
- 18:49Speaker 2: some I think a lot of people kind of just
- 18:51Speaker 2: had enough and wanted to because it just kind of
- 18:56Speaker 2: repeats itself after a certain amount of time, and so
- 18:59Speaker 2: some of the people who or portraying these characters were
- 19:01Speaker 2: kind of tired of the same characters and decided to
- 19:04Speaker 2: opt out on it. But she really wasn't one of them,
- 19:09Speaker 2: because she kind of She came back in I Believe
- 19:11Speaker 2: for the Alice in Wonderland bit, which was the spin off.
- 19:14Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, So there you go. That's Regina whom I
- 19:21Speaker 2: love hate. Yeah.
- 19:23Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds like though she had a really
- 19:28Speaker 1: she had a bunch of like nuanced, complicated relationships, which
- 19:32Speaker 1: can be rare for your Disney villainess. She had story
- 19:38Speaker 1: arcs that where she changed then reversed and changed like
- 19:44Speaker 1: it sounds like she had a lot of she had
- 19:46Speaker 1: a lot going on as a character, and that she
- 19:49Speaker 1: was a really interesting character.
- 19:52Speaker 2: She did, and Lana Pruia really was the making of
- 19:56Speaker 2: this character, and she talked about the relationship between the character.
- 20:00Speaker 2: She talked about how she finally became friends with Emma.
- 20:03Speaker 2: She says in an interview with Bussel, we know they
- 20:06Speaker 2: possess magic, and when they work together, they're so much
- 20:08Speaker 2: more powerful than they are apart. Emma needs her power
- 20:11Speaker 2: team behind her and Regina is a huge part of that.
- 20:14Speaker 2: I think that what we've seen in the past with
- 20:16Speaker 2: Emma being the dark one, as I mentioned before, it
- 20:19Speaker 2: was Regina that was constantly trying to talk some sense
- 20:22Speaker 2: into her and vice versa. That's their dynamic, is what
- 20:25Speaker 2: they do for each other. They're each other's conscience and
- 20:28Speaker 2: we'll do well. So we'll definitely see more of that
- 20:31Speaker 2: in those seasons to come. And she was as in fact,
- 20:33Speaker 2: she was the only one Emma trusted to make the
- 20:35Speaker 2: right decision, not the heartfelt decision, but the right decision. Yeah,
- 20:41Speaker 2: so that's kind of a level that they were at.
- 20:44Speaker 2: And then just talking about her relationship with a sister
- 20:47Speaker 2: coming up and how she wanted it to be a
- 20:49Speaker 2: healthy relationship for the two of them. Like it was really, really,
- 20:53Speaker 2: really cute about them wanting to be family.
- 20:59Speaker 1: As they say, how did Fast and Furious take that
- 21:04Speaker 1: word and ruin it for me? I'm sorry.
- 21:09Speaker 2: There is a whole story written published about Regina's childhood,
- 21:14Speaker 2: Like they wrote a whole fictional fairy tale based on
- 21:19Speaker 2: this show in Regina's childhood.
- 21:21Speaker 1: M interesting, Well, I mean clearly it resonated. I think
- 21:29Speaker 1: anything like that where you're going to have a bunch
- 21:31Speaker 1: of fandoms coming together and playing in interesting ways. You
- 21:37Speaker 1: will have things like that, and I'm sure listeners please
- 21:41Speaker 1: write in if you've read this story Regina's backstory.
- 21:47Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean apparently she uses a very sweet person
- 21:49Speaker 2: up into that point. M.
- 21:55Speaker 1: Yes, I mean certainly there's something to be said about
- 21:59Speaker 1: a delicious villain who you also can relate to.
- 22:04Speaker 2: She got that deep voice too. Oo Okay, yeah, she's
- 22:09Speaker 2: got a growl that makes it perfect. She's being evil.
- 22:16Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. I can't wait to
- 22:19Speaker 1: check it out. I have that and enchanted on my list,
