Patreon Teaser March 2024 The Feminist Icons and Lisa Frankenstein · To All the Men I've Tolerated Before

0:00
Hey, everyone, it is the last Thursday of the month, which means
0:04
you are getting some inside looks at our bonus content over on Patreon. Hopefully
0:11
you have already gone over to see some of the free Patreon bonus content.
0:16
We had an extra clip with al Renthia Carter on Love Is Blind season six,
0:22
and we had some blog posts about what happens when I start to feel
0:27
foolish. One of them is a very spooky ghost story. So if you're
0:32
missing Halloween, go on over to Patreon. The paid for bonus content that
0:38
will be teased in today's episode are from our March's Misogyny Meltdown, which was
0:44
all about International Women's History Month, and our Team Tolerator check in, where
0:50
we celebrated even more women's work by having Darcy come on to review with me
0:57
one of my favorite new movies, Lisa frank in Stein. So for the
1:00
Misogyny Meltdown, you'll all hear a little bit of my opening monologue a game
1:07
ged and I played called Feminist Icon, and then a little bit of the
1:11
discussion that Julia Washington, a'll Ronthia Carter, and I had about historical women's
1:18
representation in media that eventually turned into all women's representation in media. If you
1:26
would like to join the Patreon, don't forget that there is a seven day
1:29
trial in All Tears. That should be enough time to at least watch maybe
1:36
three of our bonus episodes, whether they be Team Tolerator check ins or Misogyny
1:42
Meltdown. I hope to see you all over on the Patreon. Drop me
1:47
a DM if you have any questions about any of the Tears. Hey,
2:14
everyone, this is a Misogyny Meltdown, the only show where we use celebrating
2:19
women as a witty dig at male fragility. This episode, we will be
2:23
celebrating International Women's Month. Can you believe this month was coined for us girls
2:30
all the way back in nineteen seventy five. That means we're roughly fifty years
2:37
out from when men offered us a token holiday instead of fixing the infrastructures we
2:45
suffer under. Thanks fellas, I'd like to take a moment to remind you
2:51
of some things women have accomplished within the last few years. You know,
2:55
COVID hit us hard when it comes to who was successful and re entering the
3:00
workforce. It turns out it wasn't us, But you know, one of
3:07
us was able to snag a pretty historic job. What you no, No,
3:15
not the tildwives. Ugh, their views are archaic, not historic.
3:21
I said historic historic, Thank you, Yes, much better. I am
3:30
not an expert in sports, but I hear it was a good year for
3:35
women in sports. Serena Williams won the Jackie Robinson Sports Award at the twenty
3:39
twenty three n Double ACP Image Awards for her excellence in tennis, business and
3:46
philanthropy. And then we had some blonde put a little known sport on the
3:53
map for all of us. You know, I really think it's nice that
3:58
she's been taking making her music back from a man and costing him money,
4:02
and then doing the nice charitable thing and making other bozo's money. Mm hm.
4:09
We call that balance. Margaret Atwood published her first book of poetry in
4:14
over a decade. Dearly is a collection of poems about love, loss,
4:18
and the passage of time. Let's all hope we take inspiration from this collection
4:25
and start to veer away from hurtling towards the world she built in The Handmaid's
4:30
Tale. JD. Happy International Women's History Month. Happy International Women's History Month.
4:38
Do you think you have what it takes to surpass this International Women's History
4:43
Month challenge. You know what, I'm going to say that, like,
4:46
I hope I do, but if I don't. If I don't, it's
4:48
because I'm just a humble man. It's like that song He's just a man,
4:54
Just a man's right, because here on the misogyny meltdown, we humble
5:00
men through the art of comedy. So and JD is a true ally and
5:05
a true feminist because he allows me to do this to him. And that's
5:11
the difference. That's why Ryan Gosling is an ally and everyone else isn't take
5:16
notes, gentlemen take notes. Take notes. Okay, So this is how
5:21
our game feminist icon is going to work. I am going to change my
5:27
screen and probably weave to get out of the way. Yep, And there
5:30
will be a feminist icon that you have to name, Okay, and then
5:34
you have to tell me why I think they're a feminist icon because there are
5:40
correct answers. Okay, gotcha, and I'm assuming also incorrect answers. Oh
5:45
of course. Yeah. I feel like you're about to throw like really good
5:47
ones at me that are gonna really throw me. Like I'm going to start
5:50
out easy. All right, all right, you know I love a like
5:54
ramp. Yeah, yeah, you can't. The million dollar question has to
5:59
be harder than one hundred dollars question. And then don't worry. I told
6:04
you to also come prepared, yes, so that you could redeem yourself a
6:10
little bit. And you're going to try and throw me the misogyny expert.
6:15
All right, let's have a misogyny meltdown and play feminist icon. Our first
6:23
feminist icon. Who is this? That is? Oh my god, hold
6:29
on, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Oh my god. Could you imagine if you
6:32
got RVG wrong? It was like okay, like you know when you know
6:36
it, and like it was like at the tip of my tongue. I
6:39
was like, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god,
6:40
Please don't fuck up. Why is she a feminist icon? Why is she
6:44
not a feminist icon? First of all, like, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is
6:47
one of the pioneers of Roe v. Wade, and she was one of
6:53
the ones in the seventies that got that passed into law protecting women's rights and
6:58
medical rights through abortion and other woman's services. Yeah. Sure, that was
7:03
a fantastic answer. People should be clapping for you. The correct answer is
7:11
she is the definition of but do you even lift? Bro? Okay,
7:15
that's totally spot on. She totally is oh because she's lifting in that.
7:20
I thought that was a microphone. See, I got all nervous. I
7:24
got all nervous because I couldn't think of her name right away, and I
7:26
didn't look at the details. And actually, actually, I'm pretty sure they've
7:30
done scientific studies. I'm going a man's plain for a second here. They've
7:32
done scientific studies that show that men actually don't pay attention to detail as much.
7:38
And that's why I didn't notice that. Shit, do you even lift?
7:41
Bro? Do you even lift? Bro? She's stronger than all of
7:45
my exes. She was stronger. May she rest in peace than all of
7:47
my exes, in all of my friends current partners. All right, so
7:55
you almost watched that. That made me nervous, out rude. All Right,
8:01
here's our next one. All right, let's see you know who this
8:03
is? Okay? Hold on? Is that is that one of Henry the
8:09
Eighth wives? Which one? Uh amberleyn? That is Queen Anne Bolin?
8:16
Do you know why she's a feminist icon? Uh am? Okay, hold
8:18
on? So a lot of my knowledge about amboln comes from the show The
8:24
Tutors. I'm gonna say if we're going based on that and if it's historically
8:28
accurate, I'm not positive that it is, but I'm going to guess because
8:33
she I feel like she knew she was doomed, she saw it coming,
8:37
but like she had a moment of like where she kind of like a little
8:41
bit like crazy, but then she fucking took that shit. She fucking accepted
8:46
and embraced it, and she stared that shit down and said, fuck you
8:48
Henry. She never Actually she was very kind to him during her execution.
8:54
I met metaphorically, Okay. I was like, no JD. None of
8:58
them all King Henry's wives that he sent to death glowing reviews. They were
9:03
like, I know that the King is doing this because of God. So
9:09
discussion. Yeah, so that was that was an answer. It's actually because
9:16
it takes a true icon to make a man break up with the pope and
9:20
Catholicism just so you'd give him a blowjob. I don't know. Should we
9:24
change the topic of the meltdown to Netflix being childish? No? I made
9:28
notes for today, but also maybe whenever it's your show okay, audience put
9:35
a pin in it. At one point, we will just melt down that
9:37
Netflix is childish. But welcome Julia and a'l Renthia to the Misogyny Meltdown,
9:43
and thank you for being the fierce strong women who are with me today to
9:46
talk about other feerce strong women. Thank you for having us. Yeah,
9:52
nobody could see me, but I was doing the year. I will remind
9:56
you that people can see you. The Misogyny melt Down is a video for
10:01
Oh, I should have put on my glasses and makeup. I forgot about
10:07
that, you're sing out. I have been posting clips, video clips mind
10:13
you on the internet and I've been liking them. Okay, well, so
10:20
happy having an international Women's Month. The time of the year where you really
10:24
know how people care about you and your work. Yeah. Performatively the time
10:31
when you know perform when the performative actions come out, the performative actions.
10:35
And I was trying to think about it because I don't think they ate.
10:39
The Amy Winehouse movie comes out this month. I think it comes out later
10:43
this year. I think it's a summer I think it's a summer film.
10:46
So I was like, what was our performative like movie for March, and
10:52
we didn't have one. We had Lisa Frankenstein and drive by Dolls and Love
10:56
Lies Leading, which are all I categorize them all as queer movies. You
11:03
know what's really offensive, though, is that Marky Mark has a movie coming
11:05
out about a dog that he finds while he's running a race. And I'm
11:09
just like, how dare you, Marky Mark? Like you're trying to convert
11:13
all of us. Stop it? And it's like the what is it?
11:16
What's the other movie about the dog that just came out like last year and
11:22
the dude from Magic Mike Yeah, yeah Tatum And he's in the army and
11:28
the dog helps him be in soldier No, because the dog's person dies in
11:33
during service, so he has to take the dog home. Yeah, which
11:39
is basically just you're a delivery guy, you know what I mean? Like
11:45
like military, I mean military propaganda, Pagana one film, dog Propaganda's fine,
11:56
Yes, we'll take dog propaganda. We loved dogs, We loved with
12:00
that said, well, you know, I guess like the feminist thing for
12:03
this month is probably Princess Kate, right, Oh my gosh, yes,
12:09
where is Kate? Like I wasn't really interested because I was, you know,
12:13
team Meghan and Sanna, you know what I mean. But now I'm
12:18
gonna like the fantasy I have in my head is that she's been cool the
12:24
whole time. Yeah, and it's been like you know what she's been.
12:28
She's like the she's like Somelma Blair and legally blonde. Okay, okay,
12:33
and Megan at first because she was buying into her terronalized misogyny okay, realizing
12:41
that she was cool she's right away. And maybe she's in Santa Barbara with
12:46
them, Meghan and Harry, and she can't take the kids because of the
12:50
property of the crown. Yeah, and they're having a good time. They're
12:54
having drinks on their Lani. I'm not mad at this. Yeah. Yeah,
13:01
that's so much better because like my my innate Cabricorn personality of just having
13:07
to be right and logical and the most right answer. I'm like, she's
13:11
sick and she's resting, like she's like deathly ill and she is resting.
13:18
Like I'm not allowing myself to have any fun bits about it. I did
13:22
like when they were like maybe she's on the mask Sayer, I was like
13:26
I would love that. Yeah, that's your show, I love it.
13:30
What are so? I have some generalized tropes that I believe Hollywood, in
13:37
order to make our dumb, dumb brains understand people put historical women in even
13:46
if they don't deserve to be in that trope. So like we have our
13:52
historical sluts, the hand Bolens, the Cleopatras, the Helen of Troyce are
14:01
sluts. We have our martyrs, the people who like give up their family.
14:07
I was trying to think about this today because I was thinking about the
14:11
RBG movie that I did see and now and I looked at the movie poster
14:18
today and can I remember the name of the movie? No on the Nsis
14:22
of Sex. Yes, Oh that's right. THO was like Masters of Sex.
14:26
That's another show. That's a different show, completely different. And I
14:33
just remember how and this happens a lot with like historical women in film that
14:39
at some point they in every scene they have to remind you, like this
14:43
woman gets to be great at the expense of her children and her family.
14:50
Aaron Brockovich. Aaron Brockovich, I was like, men are never great at
14:54
the expense of me, whether or not I'm traumatized or not. Men just
15:00
gets Oppenheimer just gets to make the bomb. Okay, that okay, So
15:05
my meltdown part was literally outlining how Kitty Oppenheimer and Gene Taplocks wikipedias are more
15:15
interesting than their characters in Oppenheimerto. I did not watch the which is the
15:24
Bomb, which is fine because you know, you know my opinion, which
15:28
was, I really wish I had that time back because I'm so mad about
15:31
the portrayal of these two women and the lack of dimension that they had Kitties
15:37
like a drunk who didn't want her kids the whole time, and then Jean
15:41
had yes, she had psychiatry issues. But both of these women are highly
15:48
educated, studying in fields that are male dominated, resorted diminished to the drunk
15:56
and the slut A page Round members, thank you so much for supporting the
16:02
show this month. As you know, for March, we are celebrating women
16:06
and the work of women. So I have one of my favorite women here,
16:11
Darcy from our wrestling episodes, and she's joined Elizabeth to talk to us
16:15
about Fourror and that's what we're doing today. We're gonna celebrate Lisa Frankenstein because
16:22
there's been nothing earlier since the Barbie Movie than Lisa Frankenstein agreed, I loved
16:30
this movie. I So I've been going to cheap movie night pretty religiously.
16:37
I go at least two or three times a month. Okay, So I
16:41
am at a point where people are seeing trailers for the first time that I
16:47
feel like I've been waiting on the movie for years. And that's how it
16:52
was for like Lisa Frankenstein. I'm like, when's Lisa Frankenstein coming out?
16:56
When I want it now? Right? I didn't know about it until I
17:02
think, like I think it maybe like heard a little bit about it.
17:04
But a month before it came out, I feel like I kind of like
17:11
I was like, what is this? And I just knew right away.
17:12
I was like, I'm going to see it regardless. I didn't really know
17:15
what to expect, but I definitely exceeded my expectations. Well, I mean,
17:22
right before I went to the movie, I found out that it was
17:23
the same writer as Jennifer's Body, uh huh, and that was like,
17:27
oh, okay, so this movie is going to be awesome, and it
17:32
was. It sure was. Let me go ahead and read this little synopsis
17:36
for everyone who didn't make it to the movie theater, although Lisa Fraankenstein is
17:41
streaming. Dough asked me what platform, but I know you can rent it
17:44
somewhere. Lisa Frakenstein is a twenty twenty four American comedy horror filmed directed by
17:49
Zelda Williams in her feature length directorial debut We Love to See It, and
17:56
written by Diablo Cody, the writer of Jennifer's Body. Another cult family classic,
18:04
amazing family classic for sure. The film stars Katherine Newton, Cole Sprouse,
18:11
Lisa, Liza. I saw that Z and went Lisa. That's that's
18:18
where I would go to, Liza Soberano, Henry Elkinberry, Joe Krest,
18:25
and Carla Eugeno. I've never been able to say her last name correctly.
18:30
The plot follows a misunderstood teenage goth girl who meets and develops a relationship with
18:36
a reanimated Victorian era corpse. And Cody has gone ahead and let us know
18:44
that Lisa Frankenstein is in fact set in the same fictional universe as Jennifer's Body.
18:51
Yes, yes, we're just about anything can happen, about anything going
18:56
to happen. I where do you want to start. I mean we could
19:00
maybe go through like the characters a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Should
19:04
we just gusha on Lisa for a little bit, Yeah, yeah we can.
19:10
I love her and I didn't even realize that she is actually the same
19:15
girl. It's in Freaky. Have you seen Freaky? I haven't seen Freaky?
19:19
Oh you haven't. Oh it's get you. You would love it,
19:22
you would love it. But she starts in that too, and it just
19:26
kind of like makes sense. They have like a similar vibe, I guess
19:29
kind of thing. But I loved the character, like front to back,
19:33
Like she was just amazing. I love her acceleration into like goth clothes and
19:38
like her attire that she was wearing. That was a big thing for it.
19:42
Some background on Lisa. She is currently living with her father, her
19:48
stepmother, and her stepsister because her mother was brutally murdered during a break in.
19:53
Yeah, and it was only like a year or two before, right,
19:56
Because men get remarried quickly quickly, and because her father did what a
20:03
lot of men do and just band aid married someone else, he just fully
20:07
expects that Lisa is over it too. Yeah, there's no therapy in the
20:12
Lisa Frankenstein Universe, though there are self help books on tape, Yes,
20:21
doing it in person, do it in person, or just keep listening to
20:25
doctor Phil on a cassette tape right right. What I love the most about
20:30
Lisa is she's insecure in the most confident way. Yeah. I think that's
20:37
a really good way to put it. She realizes that she's a weirdo,
20:41
and she's like, I'm just weird. So I'll just stand here quietly while
20:45
my very pretty stepsister takes me to a party, or I will I'm pretty
20:52
sure that the boy I like doesn't like me back, but I will write
20:56
him a check yes or no letter and drop it in his life. Like
21:00
she's just your quintessential like romantic team girl who's like, yes, I love
21:10
like how when it opens it has like the like the cemetery, and like
21:14
her like hanging out in the cemetery, and I just I love that it's
21:18
like an it's like an abandoned cemetery in the middle of you know, it's
21:22
in the middle of the cutthrough whatever that is between neighborhoods, I guess.
21:26
But she's in love with this. I wouldn't say she's in love she's like
21:32
enamored with this tombstone that has like a man. Actually, I don't know,
21:37
how would you like a sculpture? It's like a bus, it's like
21:40
a bust on top of the Yeah, and she just is so I don't
21:45
she like makes what does she say? Like I wish I was with you
21:48
or I wish I was with you. It's just it's so weird. And
21:52
I love when she's telling Tappy's the sister, And I love when she's telling
21:56
Taffy in the car like about it and he's like, that's really weird and
22:02
she's like, no, no, it's like totally normal. Like I love
22:03
how nonchalant she was about her hanging out in the cemetery, right, She's
22:08
like, my mom's dead, I hang out in cemeteries. I have done
22:12
what many sixteen year old girls have done before me, and I have created
22:18
an entire backstory for a man that I will never know, and I'm in
22:23
love with him. And that's fine. It's so good. It's so good.
22:30
I also feel like she made up a lot about his backstory, but
22:34
for because this is like eighties nineties. Yeah, I think eighteen eighty nine,
22:41
I think is good. Yeah, it's the brink of the nineties for
22:45
someone who doesn't have the Internet. She like knows a lot about the Corpse.
22:52
She doesn't know a lot about the Corps. I didn't really think about
22:55
that. I feel like, did we ever even get the name? Oh
22:59
no, it's it kind of cracked out ar Like I'm looking it up right
23:04
now because I was just wondering that too. I was like, do we
23:07
just continue to call him the corpse because so he's I did notice he was
23:11
credited as the Creature, Oh, which I loved because it the whole movie
23:18
has like very universal monsters vibes, obviously with Frankenstein, and I was like
23:23
going more towards Bride of Frankenstein, but it's also kind of like Creature from
23:29
the Black Lagoon vibes, Like I just love like that old school monster vibe,
23:34
and I just felt like Lisa frank And then also like the Lisa frank
23:38
aspect of it, where it was just so bright and colorful and I'm not
23:42
sure if it was intentional, but I hope it was. Annie and I
23:47
looked it up because she's a text to me and she goes, am I
23:49
late to the joke, or is Lisa Frankenstein a play on Lisa frank And
23:55
I was like, I haven't heard that, so maybe it's just a wild
24:00
coincidence. And then I googled it and they were like, no, we
24:03
were paying homage to Lisa frank And I was like, that's why the dopamine
24:07
hit me so hard, right right, I could totally see it. There
24:11
was also I did a little bit of research because I thought it was really
24:15
cool. Oh, her name is Lisa Swallows. We forgot to like put
24:19
her full name in it, because like every time she gets a coffin the
24:23
neighbor, like in school, they're like, Lisa Swallows, please come to
24:30
the principal's office. And I just like, nobody ever like makes a joke
24:34
about her name. No one ever talks about like that's being her last name.
24:40
And I don't know why, it just it just kills me. It's
24:42
so funny. No, it is funny, and it's even funnier that no
24:45
one even says anything about it. Yeah, like like in this day day
24:51
people would just be making fun of the name. I feel like most movies
24:53
I feel like would make fun of the name, like at least have some
24:56
character, especially because it's in a school. Yeah, and she has people
25:02
be a mean to her, so it's like it could fit. Maybe she
25:04
didn't want to, Like, I mean, I feel like there's definitely probably
25:08
some type of maybe like an ideal. I don't know. I mean,
25:12
the name is funny. I'm trying to think if like there was like you
25:15
know what I mean, like if it's like stepping up in humor, you
25:18
know what I mean, like yeah, not punching down. Yes, yes,
25:22
but yeah. I also saw though that she named her Lisa after for
25:29
weird Science. Oh that is the woman that they create. I've only seen
25:34
it once, like a long time ago, but the woman that they like
25:37
reanimate is her name is Lisa. Oh okay, just all of these tali
25:42
ins. Yes, it's so so good. So we kind of talked about
25:48
how it's a movie that's kind of about brief but it's also a movie that's
25:52
kind of about puberty and it's honestly, when the credit started to roll,
25:57
I looked at my friend and I went, I was just like really romantic
