  SPEAKER_00: No, this I think we should keep this talking about it.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 0:38
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, we definitely are.
• 0:39
  unknown: Okay.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: Anyway, so yes, it was my pick.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_01: Your choice.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 0:44
  SPEAKER_00: So we're watching a movie that neither one of us has seen.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_00: It is as it is currently on Netflix, and it's Wicked Little Letters.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: Wicked Little Letters.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: Um I I guess I'm choosing it because it's mostly English actors.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Olivia Coleman.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: Um I don't know who Jesse Buckley, but I think I will because I find out she is the main character.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: And Timothy Spauld, which I do like very much, you know.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: If anybody's seen Harry Potter, which you have not, whatever.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: He's in that.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: But every good English actor is in Harry Potter movies.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: There you go.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: But is this uh you know, this is uh an English film.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: And I enjoy an English film, and it w I as I said when we sat down, all the movies I was thinking, women first.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: Women, yeah, forward.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: You know, so this is women.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_00: Women, women are the main characters in this.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_01: All right on.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: So um anyway, um, it it seems like it's a little lighthearted, but there's kind of a serious undertone, is my understanding.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_01: Interesting.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: Um so and it's about a small English town, and it is a period piece, and I can't remember if it's uh the thirties or the forties.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_01: So it's one of those.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_01: But it's the thirties or forties in England, which will make it feel older than that.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, probably so.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: But um, but anyway, so it is it is that.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_00: And it it just it just seemed like I I remember uh someone talking about the title, and of course I like Livia Coleman very much.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: And um it just seemed like oh, I'd love to see her in something else.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: So here we are.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_01: There we go.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_01: That's how we do it.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, good enough for me.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I and that's that's how it works so many times for me, where I'm just like don't know anything about a film.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_01: I see it, you know, kind of get uh a brief sense of who's in it or something.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_01: It's like it's like all right, go for it.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we'll figure, you know, find out.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: Now, this could be something I really like and you do not.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: So that's that's a possibility.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: Of course.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: But I do feel like for myself, it's like, yeah, I think I'd like it.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and I mean, who knows?
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe it'll be something that that I'll really enjoy and you won't, you know.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe so.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: Whatever.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: Of course.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we never know.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but yeah.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, I you know, I've realized I haven't been on Netflix for long enough that um I was looking at the movies on Netflix and I'm going, I want to see that, I want to see that, oh, I wish I could see that again.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I wish I had Netflix so I could watch this and that and everything else.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: So, because when I was on Netflix, I'm literally was like running out of things to watch.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: I was re-watching things, and it's like that's ridiculous.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_01: That's kind of where I get to where I've got all my different streaming platforms, and then I'll put one down for a little while, and then I'll come and then I'll think, like, oh well, I don't watch anything on it, might as well get rid of it.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_01: But before I get rid of it, let me just open up and just check and see.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_01: And then it's like, oh, look at all this good stuff.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, oh well, it's totally worth it.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, exactly.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_01: That's how I don't get rid of any of them.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I guess that's probably with no most people.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, yeah.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: But uh, but yeah, I'm I'm I'm anxious to Twitter to watch this.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: I do not personally have Netflix, so you are my Netflix guy.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: There you go.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: And so I have a chance to see this movie and I'm looking forward to it.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it'll be definitely interesting.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_01: You know, we'll see.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: You know, we've uh we've had some good ones that we've you know, we we dive into the unknown and then we've had some other ones that weren't as weren't as well.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: And I I get the idea from this it's a small film.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's okay, you know.
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_00: So it's not obviously, I mean, it's not a blockbuster thing.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think the UK does blockbuster things, thank God.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: Leave that to us crazy Americans.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's right.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: That's right.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: That just leave that alone.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but no, so I I think it is a small film, probably a lot of dialogue.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but you know, yeah.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it should be good.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_00: I I'm I'm looking forward to it.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: All right, sounds good.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_01: All right, and it's 2023.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: 2023 for this one.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_01: So just a couple of not too long.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: So it's been around for just a couple years, but you know, um, yeah, I think it'll be really interesting.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: All right, all right, all right.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_01: We're gonna go ahead and dive in and watch Pretty Little Letters.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Wicked Little Wicked.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know why it's I love using that name.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_00: When something is wicked, I use like someone has a wicked sense of humor.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: This is wicked little letters.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_01: Wicked little letters.

  SPEAKER_01: We just got done watching Wicked Little Letters.
• 5:28
  unknown: Yep.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_01: And since uh this was your choice, yes, you go first, I get to go first, even though it was first time for both of us.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yep.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_01: Um there's elements of it that I that I liked, and then there's some that were extremely frustrating.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, um you choose.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_01: So um so I I like the way it was shot.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I liked um I like the cinematography of it, like the story of it.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: Um it's just the blatant sexism, racism, every other kind of ism you can think of, like thrown in your face like the whole time throughout it.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_01: That was just like it was a little overwhelming just constantly.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but um, but I thought, you know, I guess it's based on a true story, and it's like, you know, so I I thought it was I thought it was pretty, you know.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_01: I there are parts of it like when they're invest when they're actually doing like their investigation stuff that were really kind of funny and stuff.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_01: So I like the like the the comedy side of it.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_01: I thought that was done really well.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_01: Um But um yeah, it's kind of hard for me to get around some of that the that just uh the the sexism?
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_01: Uh well it wasn't it wasn't even just the sexism, but it was just like everything.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_01: Like it was just uh Like what else?
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: I mean it's because it does it I I did read something that you know it's about women who you know aren't believed and aren't upheld in the community, that sort of thing.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_00: Well, yeah, what else?
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_01: It's just it it's just the you know, when they're the guys that think that they're they know everything just because they're guys and then they're just like rubbing it in their faces, you know, and it's like And don't you think that's true?
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_01: Oh I know that's what's annoying with it, and it's like and it's just frustrating, and it's just like oh my god, it's just like how were people this dumb?
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but that's what women went through.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_01: I yeah, and it's just that's why I'm saying it's just aggravating.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_01: I was just like, oh my gosh, they had to go through this.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and it's like, oh and like their justice system of like trying to like it was just like baffling, where it's just like it's like, oh well, I think she did it.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, she did it.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're gonna try we're gonna put her in jail, and it's like what?
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's like it's just but but I I truly believe that's how things went that back then.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: Because this was in the twenties, right?
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so that was quite a ways back.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean I I I mean I I liked a lot, I liked, you know, the how many times did they use the F word?
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: I wonder.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_01: I completely lost count.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_01: I think this had this has got to set the record for like some of the most creative cussing that I've had.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_00: It's a lot.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: It is really a lot.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: It's definitely not made for young people to what did you think of it?
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: I I really I really enjoyed it because it was about women who were, you know, yeah.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_00: We weren't given a lot of chances, but still, I mean, come together and use their brain and figure it out.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_00: And um I'm sorry, that's kind of like the way it is for women.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: That's really true.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_01: It um I don't know.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_00: But we did t I did tell you this was like women forward kind of.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_01: Well, yeah, I mean it definitely is.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: Because yeah, but back Yeah.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: I mean I mean even I mean just to think about the way women when I Well I think it was with me even.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_01: What's that?
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_00: I I couldn't get a credit card by myself, my husband would have to sign for it.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my gosh.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, um, you know, and that's uh yeah.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: And there I mean there's a lot of things that women have put up with and have come come along, but even in my generation.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_01: That's just wild.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: It's like Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean yeah, yeah, that yeah, women couldn't have much, if anything.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: And uh I mean and this is in the twenties, so yeah, they had even less.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's just I don't know, it's just uh it's just mind blowing that it's you know that people thought like this, and it's just like they're just like just because of your gender, it's like that's you know, you don't have a good idea, you don't have a rational thought, or that's the I mean and even with this, I mean to have a woman policeman, police, you know, you know, officer, right?
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: Uh very, very rare.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: Uh that that didn't happen a lot.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and and it would be hard to stay in the job because as she was railroaded uh into you know subservient kind of work, right?
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_00: As far as you know, not obviously not being equal.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_00: And I mean, I'm sorry, women even still today, I could get on a little bandwagon here and get a little soapbox and talk about how, you know, yeah, women don't have it equal.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_01: It it just it just blows my mind that it's like I I it's like we've you know, there's times where I feel like you know, for society we we've come so far and then there's like just stuff like this where it's just like no yeah, it it's it's not complete.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_00: And it's like, oh my gosh, it's like uh it's just like but maybe that's that's good for to for people to watch something that kind of opens their eyes a little bit to that.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, that's for sure.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: Um yeah, but but yeah, I did like it.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_00: I lit like the actresses, and I just realized so just Jessica But Buckley, who played Rose.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, uh I just saw her in the in the film Hamlet.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: Hamlet.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, did you really?
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_00: She was the main character.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's that's awesome.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_00: She was married to William Shakespeare.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_01: That's cool.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my god.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: And the way I can recognize her, she's got a crooked smile just like me.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, there you go.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_00: Came out in that movie too.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_01: I thought she did a great I thought she did a fantastic job.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_00: I really yeah, I mean, really, I think she is a stunning actress.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: And but you know, and then I I just saw her in the film in the in the theater.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_00: And uh yeah, she is she was pretty amazing.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_00: So I think we're gonna try to remember her name.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, she's definitely one to look out for.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_01: Um I mean, I I thought, you know, with Olivia Coleman, I mean she did she did a great job of especially kind of playing like a a two-faced kind of character.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_01: And it was, yeah, it was kind of it was it definitely was kind of it felt unique probably for her that it, you know, to try and do something like that, that it wasn't that uh she wasn't as as advertised at the beginning, you know.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_01: And so and then it's like all of a sudden just like you know, find out she's got this whole dark side to her because kind of and I think the one little piece I read about this was that Limi Olivia Coleman in real life has a mouth on her.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I've I we've we've seen that from like when she does like Graham Norton and stuff like that, where it's like it just kind of slips out a lot, you know.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_00: It's kind of like so yeah, the words yeah come pretty easily for her.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_00: But to think that this is a whole movie, that's the topic, you know.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_01: It was kind of it was one of those where you know, where I was waiting for like a bigger twist of it of the writing of the letters instead of it just being Olivia because it was like the whole time I kept thinking, I'm like, I bet it's probably her that's writing them herself.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so now we just gave it away, you know.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_00: Well, people need people gonna talk about it.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_01: Well, spoiler alerts.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_01: I've always said that it's like if we put out the title, uh put out the title of the episode is the name of the film that we're watching.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_01: We know they know we're gonna talk about the film that we're watching.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_00: The entire film, we're not keeping anything back.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_01: If people like you know, think that you know we're spoiling something for them.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry, you kind of had it coming.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_01: So sorry.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so I mean, at first it was like, you know, yeah, I was thinking the same thing.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_00: And then I was kind of amazed that it was revealed that she was writing him.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_00: And then the whole lying on the stand and the not taking and continuing to do it.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: Was just like, oh my God, who is this person?
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_00: And and it really kind of uh, you know, because I mean if you look at it, it's a really simple story.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_01: Right, right, yeah, yeah.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_01: There's not that.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_00: But uh, but that really was very interesting way of you know, so it wasn't like a big twist at the end, or yeah, you know, it wasn't really it wasn't trying to fool you.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_01: It was almost halfway through.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_01: They kind of it they showed you it was her, and yeah, and then not only that, then explain like you know how she was delivering the letters and how she was doing it.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_01: And so yeah, it wasn't like a build, build, build, and then all of a sudden it's like, yeah, there's like a whole big reveal at the end, you know, or something.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was it was an interesting way of of doing it.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_00: And it's and it's just kind of amazing too, because I mean she got caught.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_00: It's not like she confessed because of the goodness of her heart.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_00: She got caught.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and then yeah, and then like when she's getting loaded into the back of the of the of the paddy wagon where she's just like she's like, I did it, I did it, it was me, it was me the whole time.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_01: It's like yeah, it's like yeah, it's like and then that cackle of her laugh, like she's being yeah, she's being carted away, and I was just like, Yeah, yeah, it's like wild.
• 15:38
  unknown: Yeah.
• 15:38

• 17:54
  SPEAKER_00: And in the end, I liked it too.
• 17:55

• 18:32
  SPEAKER_00: And um there I'm I think there are a lot of men that maybe don't realize that's really what's happening.
• 18:39

• 18:40
  SPEAKER_00: And uh it still happens today.

  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.

• 19:23
  SPEAKER_00: I mean we have all that's good they do.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we have I mean we definitely have and it's based more on you know time of of doing the job and your and where you are in the company and where you're gonna and where you're at and you know for for getting promoted and where you know.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_01: I so I I agree that you know it's been a struggle for women to be able to um to be able to get there, but I think that at least in the prof I can't speak for every profession okay or the one or you know, I can only speak from my experience as well, but I've seen where the they are getting uh equal pay.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_01: But I mean I wish it was the same, you know, all the way across the board.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_01: I don't, you know, I obviously don't know if it is, but yeah, I I think that you know I I hope that as a society we're coming a long way, but you know, I still, you know, I I just don't know.
• 20:17

  SPEAKER_00: But that but that does show that you know that can influence a lot of people.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I don't I I think if they're if they're being influenced by that, then then they're ridiculous to them in the beginning.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_00: You know, a lot of times they kind of think that way, but here's here's this very powerful person who believes that.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_00: So I guess maybe they can think that way too.

  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I don't know, maybe act that way towards women.
• 21:04
