2:00
We are back after a summer hiatus. Welcome to Still Comfy Tuesday with Julia
2:08
and Natalie. We have missed you all. Yeah, and we've missed movies.
2:15
Yeah, movies. We've missed the weather being below ninety degrees. Yes,
2:22
yeah, hi friends. I'm Julia Washington, your host of pop culture
2:25
makes me jealous. We analyze pop culture through the lens of race or gender,
2:29
and sometimes both. As I said, it's Still Comfy Tuesday, and
2:31
my co host is I'm Natalie Katona. I'm the host and producer of To
2:38
All the Men I've Tolerated Before, your weekly look at every day misogyny and
2:42
watch everyone I can be in the chat. I'm so excited, and we
2:46
are talking about Freaky Friday. Freaky Friday. It is a two thousand and
2:53
three gem. And let me tell you about this movie from the Googles.
3:00
Mother Tess Coleman and her teenage daughter Anna couldn't be more different, and it
3:06
is driving them both insane. After receiving cryptic fortunes at a Chinese restaurant,
3:12
the two wake up the next day to discover that they have somehow switched bodies.
3:16
Unable to switch back, they are forced to masquerade as one another until
3:22
a solution can be found. In the process, they develop a new sense
3:25
of respect and understanding for one another. Who needs AI when you could hire
3:30
me? Well, honestly, did you rewrite that? Because usually we just
3:36
rip it straight from Google. No, that's from Google, and I did
3:38
it in my best AI voice. Oh, you did it in your AI
3:42
voice. You forgot to do the weird hands. You got it if and
3:46
then you have to go, and then you have to end every sentence with
3:47
gangganin. I don't know why. The gang gain is very important. It's
3:54
very important to the AI for tend day. Oh my god. Okay,
4:01
Natalie, I do have one question for you to kick off this movie.
4:05
Are you ready? I'm ready? Or rather this chat? Okay? Why
4:13
do we love this movie? Why do we love? I love Jamie Lee
4:15
Curtis. Fuck yeah, me too. I love Jamie Lee Curtis, and
4:19
I want to spend every day with Jamie Lee Curtis, and I want her
4:23
to be telling everyone to fuck off on my behalf and I she like a
4:29
fine wine. She just gets better and better as she gets older. And
4:32
like when I was a kid, Jamie Lee Curtis was like the Yo,
4:35
the yogurt lady, the lady who's like, yeah, I eat yogurt,
4:40
it'll make you. And I remember to when she did that campaign where she
4:46
was like no touch ups and she was essentially in like bike shorts and like
4:48
a sportspra and I was just like, girl, you look good. And
4:53
like my Grandma Peg when she started to go gray, she was like,
4:56
I'm just gonna do it. And my Grandma Peg started going gray, she
5:00
was like twenty seven years old. Holy buckets, that's so young. M
5:03
hm. So Jamie Lee Curtis always reminds me of my grandma. One of
5:09
the Halloween movies, it wasn't this last one. It was one before when
5:13
the house is on fire, and I was like, this whole movie should
5:15
just be the house on fire, but also Michael Myers is there and you're
5:18
trying to escape the fire, but also Michael Myers, and that's not what
5:21
the movie was. But my sister says that Jamie Lee Curtis acts just like
5:27
Grandma Peg because she's just sitting there like in a smoky raspy boys being like,
5:30
we'll never escape Michael the bastard. She's like, it was given me
5:36
real Peg energy. That's so interesting because like, I don't know what you're
5:43
talking about when it comes to the Halloween movies. As you know, I
5:46
don't do scary. It was weird. But I did know of Jamie Lee
5:53
Curtis before I saw any of her work, because we are an old movie's
5:59
family, and so I saw some like it, some like it hot,
6:03
and I knew that Tony Curtis was her dad, and like I just like
6:08
so, I knew about her Hollywood royalty status before I ever had seen her
6:14
in a movie. And let me tell you another reason why I love this
6:17
movie. I like seeing Lindsay Lohan. Well, I just like, like,
6:23
you know, she's such a gem and she's so talented, and I
6:27
think that if I always wonder what would have been if she had had parents
6:31
who weren't trying to live their dreams through their child, what her adult life
6:36
could have looked like? Right? Thanks Dina, Thanks Dina Lohan. I
6:45
am truly ready for the Lindsay Lohan sons where she because you know, she
6:50
did that Netflix Christmas movie, The Christmas Movie. But I don't know if
6:55
she we're gonna get a true renaissance from her because she is married to someone
7:00
who has a very not the way that Americans view conservative lifestyle. Modest,
7:08
oh, a modest lifestyle. So I think that's gonna pose limitations on what
7:14
not that I'm saying that you have to be risque when you are an actor,
7:19
when there's religion modesty involved, That does sort of change the nature of
7:25
what your work is. I'd be fine with just a Christmas movie every year.
7:29
I found that Christmas movie delightful. Yeah, it was cute. What's
7:32
that kid's name, cord Over Street, that's it. I was like,
7:36
it hit some of the musical from Glee. From Glee, that's right.
7:46
I find that this movie is incredibly delightful regardless of what age you are.
7:54
Yeah, no, do you feel like this movie? This was the first
7:58
question I wrote down for you. Do you feel like that first scene where
8:01
Jamie Lee Curtis is juggling trying to plan her rehearsal dinner, like arguing with
8:07
the man about fish, shopping for her kids. Also like my head,
8:11
I'm sorry I should have closed trying to like figure out whether or not Lindsay
8:20
Lohan's coming home that night. Do you feel like this is one of the
8:24
more realistic, like actual portraits of single motherhood that we have. Yeah,
8:33
I do, because I feel like she has her shit together to an extent,
8:37
like her hot messness. Isn't that exists? Isn't because of anything?
8:43
That? What am I trying to say? I feel like when I was
8:50
a professional business woman, this was very relatable. Yeah. No, I'm
8:58
a little annoyed that, like, like, why isn't your fiance helping more?
9:03
Right? But although it's not a movie about him well and like the
9:07
surprise twist ending where it's like he's a great guy, I'm like, great,
9:13
good for him, good for him being a great guy. I think
9:20
it falls short on how real Like I think when it comes to teeny and
9:30
Lindsey Lohan, it's so satire and upped an anti that I'm like, girl,
9:35
no one shrieks that much. No one has the time to shriek that
9:37
much during their shool. It's very it's very disney fied. Yeah, like
9:41
it is very punched up for Disney that's for sure. Absolutely. I couldn't
9:46
remember was this a movie theater movie or a straight to Disney movie movie theater
9:52
movie movie theater movie. It reads kind of now like a straight to the
9:56
Disney Channel movie. Well, and I think that that this is when did
10:00
and He's starting to sort of change how they navigate what goes in the theater
10:05
and what goes to Disney Channel, because yeah, they had Disney Channel content,
10:09
but they were really starting to focus in and hone in on like that
10:13
tween age. Because also Cheetah Girls came out around this time, but that
10:20
was great. Cheat it might have been Cheata Girls might have been a little
10:24
bit later, but like that's this era, right, Like it's like we
10:28
are starting to get well maybe because Cheetah Girls might have been later, because
10:31
I'm thinking High School Musical, well that was like two thousand and seven.
10:37
Yeah, I was. It's all within that generation. Though. Yeah,
10:41
I was too old to like high school musical by the time he came out,
10:45
because I was in college and I was like, I don't care that
10:48
zach Efron really wants to play basketball, no, but I too appreciate the
10:52
evolution of his career. So I can watch his movies now start from the
11:00
him now we're here, mm hmm yeah, and so like, I feel
11:05
like this is definitely a movie that is intended to be silly and fun and
11:11
so in what I don't know if you knew this, but our friend Chris
11:15
DeRosa came on to pop Culture makes Me jealous to talk about this film,
11:18
and he commented on just how wonderful it is in so many ways. And
11:24
one of the reviews I had found when I was prepping for that chat.
11:28
I forget who the reviewer was, it might have been The New York Times
11:31
essentially said, it is a shame that Jamie Lee Curtis will not be considered
11:35
for Oscar content, like as an Oscar contender, because her performance in this
11:41
movie is flawless and perfect and so varied with its range. And when you
11:46
watch it, you're like, yeah, because she is. She's got so
11:50
much going on, it's so believable, and just the way she go from
11:54
buttoned up, stuffy mom who's trying roll hard to be like the best version
12:00
of everything with her book and she's a psychologist, right, and so like
12:05
there's a certain level of I have to have my shit together for that,
12:09
and she and then to flip to behave like a teenager in the way that
12:15
she It's so it's it really takes acting chops to do something like that so
12:20
believably well. And we already got a taste of this from the parent Trap
12:24
with My Low Hand. But she's also a code switcher. She can like
12:30
immediately be like, oh now my character is doing this. Oh now I'm
12:33
an uptype Yeah. Yeah, And I felt like their physicality and orphan is
12:39
the new black. Nope, orphan black. I do it all the time.
12:46
How dare those shows come out in the same year? How dare ever
12:50
since orban Black. I'm obsessed with the way that characters who are either playing
12:56
multiple roles within the same film or are made to act like there's someone else
13:03
or whatever, it will change their body position and their body structure and their
13:09
facial expressions on a dime. Because Tatiana Maslani was perfect that that throughout the
13:16
entire show. She was often playing like fifteen people in episode yeah. And
13:20
I think it really does speak to the difference between people who are into that
13:26
craft of acting versus people who just want to be in movies or who just
13:31
want to be famous, And I think that Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Loewen
13:35
were the perfect pairing to play the mother and daughter duo because in two thousand
13:39
and three, when I think about the teenaged actors at the time, I
13:43
don't think anybody else could have done it. And when I think about the
13:48
mom aged actors that existed at the time, I honestly don't think anybody else
13:54
could have done it. Like Goldie Han's a great actress, I don't think
13:58
she could have pulled this off. No, And Goldiehan has a different type
14:03
of physical comedy than Jamie Lee Curtis. Yes, And then I was thinking
14:07
about Okay, then I fell down the First Wives Club, right, I
14:09
was like, oh, And then Diane Keaton, It's like no, because
14:11
there need there would need to be like a moment where she screams real loud
14:16
and has a moment of panic and then falls down, and and that just
14:20
doesn't work for this movie either, because that would then compete with the teenager
14:26
storyline. Correct. Yeah, and I do think that the most interesting part
14:33
of this movie is besides the little boy, the grandpa, and the soon
14:39
to be stepdad, every other man in this movie is like such an insult
14:43
WEIRDO. I'm glad you brought it up because I have another question for you
14:50
for it. Yeah, oh that's right. One of my first note for
14:58
today's episode is I forgot chan Michael Murray was in this We don't like his
15:05
hair in this movie better than Lucas's hair. It's two thousand and three,
15:11
so everyone had bad hair, and I feel like it's it's just Lucas Scott.
15:18
If Lucas Scott could play guitar. Do you know what it's Lucas Scott.
15:24
Do it out o, Jamie jamiely Oh. I forgot to remind everybody
15:33

15:37

15:39

15:43

15:46
because we still get notified that you commented, and then we can respond
15:52
back. And I'm always online and I will respond back, even if it's
15:56
just with the fearless heart. This is my emoji of the year. Just
16:00
love yourless heart. Yes, Okay, back to Chad Michael Murray and playing
16:07
Lucas Scott in every film. Do we need to go down the rabbit hole
16:10
of his movie catalog with Hallmark to see if he continues to be Lucas Scott
16:15
even well into his adulthood. Do you remember? Do you remember? It
16:18
was last Christmas? I was in a dark place and I was like,
16:22
I want to watch a Chad Michael Murray Christmas movie and they're all on Hallmark.
16:26
I don't have Hallmark because I don't have money, and I found one
16:30
that I could like watch on Prime or Hulu or something, and it was
16:37
when I tell you he was playing an angel, and I guess he plays
16:41
this angel in a couple of these movies. And he was like, you
16:45
know, you know when like you know when like people of the church are
16:52
trying to be like very calm and not startle you that they are of the
16:55
church. So it was like, why, yes, I would love some
16:59
huck hoko. And then like in the US, because he's just trying to
17:06
be like holier and like withdrawn from general society. I think we should go
17:11
back to playing angels like John Travolta did in Michael Oh my god, that's
17:17
a callback. I haven't seen that movie since it released. In the movie
17:19
theaterestly put it on the list we need to do John Travilta and Michael a
17:26
movie that I should do a Watching Way Too Young? Well, yeah,
17:29
because it came out when I was thirteen, So I was to say we
17:33
should do a whole segment series of just movie because then there's City of Angels
17:37
with Nicholas Cage and Meg Ryan. Have you seen that one. Yeah,
17:40
we're gonna do. We're gonna go real churchy and just do angel movies.
17:45
I don't know, should we I don't know. That's why we're here.
17:48
We're here to talk about Chad Michael Murray falling in love with Jamie Lee Curtis.
17:52
It's weird and that is like, truly, I've been thinking about this
17:56
all day. How do you modernize this movie without having a teenage girl having
18:03
to pretend to love her future stepdad in a sexual way and a teenage boy,
18:07
like especially when you learn about the grown woman, especially when you think
18:12
about how much better millennials aged than boomers, because like, have you seen
18:19
modern day Chad Michael Murray? I know you have that man is fine,
18:23
could you imagine him playing the future stepdad and then like I don't know what,
18:29
Sidney Sweeney playing the teenaged girl like like or even like like Kate Hadson's
18:34
forty three. Yeah, so she could be the Jamie Lee Curtis stepmom,
18:40
right. I mean, I don't know if she has the acting capabilities to
18:44
do it. But like when I think about just on appearance alone, if
18:48
they remade this movie, everyone would just look like all the same, all
18:56
the same that like the teen you know what I mean. It's like wait
18:59
and then and then everyone's hot in Hollywood now whereas you know that you know
19:03
what I mean? But now, but all I can think about is a
19:07
euphoria version of Freaky Friday where it's gritty and Daya's screaming about drugs in the
19:15
middle of the street. Sydney Sweeten or whatever her name is, funk your
19:18
stepdad and she has no fucks to give about it, like gritty reboot of
19:25
Freaky Friend. Because the original original was Jodie Foster, Oh, Jody ninety
19:30
six or nineteen seventy seven somewhere around there. I am always floored by how
19:36
old Jodi Foster is. I know, and I and when I watched that,
19:41
when I watched the original not that long ago, and it was like,
19:44
everyone looks exactly how you think they would look in nineteen seventy six,
19:48
right, Like dad's kind of aged but still working and kind of dopey,
19:53
like like the mom. The woman who plays the mom is so beautiful and
19:57
you're just looking at this couple and you're just like, how she's gorgeous,
20:02
and you're there. I need Phil Dumpy to be in the reboot of Freaky
20:07
Friday. That's the only dad that no one's hitting on. Yeah, yeah,
20:11
yeah, you know what, you would have to source people who are
20:15
over fifty to play this, if not more so, because even then,
20:18
and I told you this today, I was listening to pog Meat's World and
20:21
Mark Paul the Mark Paul Gossler episode, and you know, in my mind,
20:26
he's fine and I think he's close to he'll be fifty next year.
20:30
Yeah, and he looks so good. Yeah, it's because he too has
20:37
been touched by an angel. He real churchy. Now, a lot of
20:41
those eighties sitcom dudes got real churchy. Who's the growing Pains guy? Well,
20:47
that one was always churchy. Oh you're talking about Candice Cameron's brother,
20:51
Kirk Cameron. The Camerons were always cared the Camerons. The Camerons were all
20:55
Hollywood. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, it's it's just so ridiculous to
21:06
try and think about this movie in modern day. Because I did, I
21:11
had like, I'm like, I don't actually like and I think it's because
21:17
Jamie Lee Curtis is doing it so well and Chad Michael Murray. It is
21:22
a fun role to see Chad Michael Murray in because he's very often not silly,
21:26
and he was like silly sappy in this way, right. And this
21:30
came out in August of two thousand and three, and then when did One
21:34
Tree Hill debut? Oh, I feel it's either We've looked up the States
21:40
so many times I know which I mean, and it just says the WB
21:44
two thousand and three to two thousand and six when on the Google. But
21:48
oh, I'm gonna go into episodes. But it's like it's like one of
21:51
those things where it's like Chad Michael Murray is clearly like poised to be an
21:55
up and coming star because you have this movie. Yeah. September September of
22:02
two thousand and three, so so Freaky Friday came first, and and this
22:08
is just you know, you can just see, like and he did so
22:11
many movies, right, He did a Cinderella Story with Hillary duff in two
22:17
thousand and five, like he was just gonna be that guy. He's gonna
22:22
be that guy. And then I think The One Tree Hillman ruined it for
22:26
everybody, like they tried to do Hillary and Sophia's career. A. I
22:32
think so, I really do, because when you think about like the progression
22:36
of the One Tree Held cast, it's like, no one's a major Hollywood
22:40
film star. No Bethany Jes Sorry, Bethany's coming out with an album soon
22:48
and I can't wait to listen. It's about strawberries or something. Oh that's
22:52
cute strawberries and the title but versus like, uh, saved by the bells
22:59
at the top of my again, because again I would listen to the Mark
23:00
Paul Kostler interview. But like Mario Lopez, he's not a film star,
23:06
but he's very prominent and in everyone's face. Yeah, he is everywhere.
23:11
I I did have to like turn away from the movie and like look at
23:15
my phone or something because I'm like I don't want to watch to have Michael
23:18
Murray flirt with Jamie Lee Curtis. I don't know why I got prudy dr
23:23
I was like, and I do think it's because Jamie Lee Curtis at any
23:30
age can drop her face and make herself look like a teenager in love.
23:33
And I'm like, it's icky, and I don't want to watch it.
23:37
Did you watch her in The Bear season two? No? You know I
23:41
haven't watched The Bear because every time I turn it on The Bear, my
23:44
ADHD says no. My ADHD is like, we're not paying attention to this.
23:48
It is the season two is very slow paced. And you told I
23:52
haven't watched season one, and you told me I have to listen to that
23:55
show. And what have I been doing? Every time I'm parked him friend?
23:57
The TV i'm playing started val That's all I'm doing. All. I
24:03
loved it. I loved it so hard. I just wanted to put a
24:11
look it's me. I was like, why did my comment get highlighted?
24:15
Everyone? That's an example of how you can comment on the Live Jewels will
24:18
probably log off at some point and comment on that. Maybe it'll be The
24:22
Fearless Heart, but should you stumble upon our show on the good old YouTube
24:26
and give us a YouTube comment, Give us a YouTube comment, tell us
24:30
why you love Freaky Friday. So let's talk about this concept of a reboot,
24:36
Like, do you think that Disney would attempt a third version at it?
24:41
Yeah, here's another thing that I think we're slowly distancing ourselves from.
24:48
And there's not actually that clear cut line in between a middle aged mother and
24:55
her hormone rampant teenager. I feel like in a lot of film and TV,
25:03
we're not getting that there's just a fifteen year old in my house shrieking
25:08
at me all the time. And to be fair, that was not my
25:12
teenage experience. My mom and I would have like one blow up a month.
25:17
I would lock myself in my room and then I told you, she'd
25:19
just scratch on my door to be like, what if we ate Ben and
25:23
Jerry's and watched Lost? By the way, her Lost was a toxic r
25:29
Yeah. You know what's interesting though, is, similarly to you, I
25:33
also didn't have like a shrieking relationship with my mom. We would have one
25:37
blow up and then go for froyo or watch a movie. But what's interesting
25:44
to me about the Lindsay Lohan character in this movie is how she is so
25:48
alternative but cak rock. She's so punk rock, but yet they there is
25:55
something about her that really isn't punk rock. Well, it's very much her.
26:00
Well it's a Disney punk rock, so it's camp rock punk rock,
26:03
right, So I feel like Demi Levado wears the same costume. And also
26:14
I don't think until probably now because I am not a rewatcher, so who
26:18
knows, when's the last time I watched this film? Was clearly the punk
26:22
rock stuff is just a coping mechanism for her dad being dead. She's really
26:29
just mad at her mom because her dad died. That's interesting as a reformed
26:34
in appearance punk rock roll because I will always love you punk rock. Though
26:42
there are some bands now that I'm just like, oh my ears are old,
26:45
I can't but but there are a handful of bands like I'm gonna go
26:48
see one later this year and I'm really fucking excited that I still will listen
26:55
to on repeat when I'm in the mood. But like, there is something
26:59
about the way, and maybe that's it because she's using it as a mechanism,
27:04
so she's gonna just grow out of it, as opposed to those of
27:08
us who I don't live a punk rock lifestyle anymore because I really like showering
27:12
and having You know, what are you trying to make punk rock people feel
27:17
like today when you're like, I really like showering. We're not even allowed
27:22
to call out nerds anymore at gen Con for not showering, and they camp
27:26
in lines to buy Disney carts. Okay, stand corrected. I'm specifically referring
27:30
to gutter punks. I went to a funeral a year ago, and I
27:33
was shocked by how many of my punk rock friends were still in the punk
27:37
rock way of life. Because then there was like me and the person I
27:42
went with and one other person, and we looked like professional adults at a
27:48
funeral. So I just said that on life. Oh what was I gonna
27:56
say? Though? Oh? No, save me that life. So I
28:00
think there were a lot of callbacks to I guess her former life. I
28:04
just thought that her mom was up that pretty girl's ass, because like their
28:08
moms were friends or something. But then I realized, like, no,
28:11
Lindsay Lohan and this girl used to be friends. Then her dad died.
28:15
Teenagers do not have the emotional intelligence to deal with a death. I barely
28:22
know what to do when my friend's parents die. I just sit here and
28:26
go do you need to scream? You want to cry? You want to
28:30
just go get sushi? Death is not something that we handle well over here
28:34
in the States. And so then I was like, Oh, Lindsay Lohan
28:40
saw this mean bitch, and she's like, I want to be this mean
28:44
bitch's friend's friend anymore. And she got hooked up with these two alternative kids
28:48
and they honestly, the rock band was good. It was impressively good,
28:53
and at least singer deserves a career. Yeah, where's she at? I
28:59
don't know. And I meant to look it up to see if she was
29:03
a ringer, because I remember on Disney used to just like poach music like
29:06
real talent and then just plug them into their stuff. And I was like,
29:10
did they do that with this person? Because I feel like that could
29:12
be true. No, Well, in Disney, also like, did Lindsay
29:17
Lohan want to be a song or a singer? Who knows? But she
29:21
has a single at the end of this movie, and she sat in her
29:25
Confessions of a Drama Queen, didn't she have an album all albums, Like,
29:33
that's my point. Do they want an album or did Disney just go
29:37
that part of it? It's Disney boot Camp. You will be good at
29:41
everything. Yeah, Yeah, we're gonna have to stunt cast you with Cinderella
29:45
when we revised Cinderella on Broadway for the eightieth time. Yeah. Yeah,
29:55
it's maybe that's why she doesn't feel like true to the punk rock experience and
30:00
way because she like because of her former life. Because back to your point
30:04
of the shrieking shrieking, none of us did that. In my group was
30:12
you know, a pretty healthy mix of boys and girls, and none of
30:17
us girls shrieked at our moms. Like, we're not wu girls, We're
30:19
not shriekers. You know, we get excited and it's very contained. Yeah,
30:26
hit us up in the comments if you shrieked at your mom a lot,
30:29
like and every day, no one understands me. I hit my mom.
30:33
She tried to get me to eat frosted flakes. I want lucky charms.
30:37
Kind of bitchy teenage way, Where are all these bitchy teenagers? I
30:42
would like to know. I was like hanging out with them. That sounds
30:45
stressful. Yeah, same. And I think that's why I liked like Peyton
30:49
and why I was so upset with the way that they sort of changed her
30:53
in season four, because in seasons one, two, and three, it
30:56
felt very much like, Yeah, this is the girl I'm running into it.
31:00
The scene that I'm gonna get that, I'm gonna that, I like,
31:03
you know that we're gonna vibe and we're gonna become friends and we're gonna
31:06
exchange records and we're gonna talk about music, and we're gonna have our moody
31:11
moody moody moody moody, you know, kind of in a subdued, quiet
31:15
way, and then it's gonna come out through our art as opposed to yelling
31:19
at my mom. Now, I would modernize this movie and like kind of
31:23
combine Freaky Friday with a little bit of The Banner Sisters, where it's like
31:30
Lindsay Lohan is like kind of a punk rock chick and she thinks that her
31:34
mom's just like a stuck up prick, and then she starts to uncover because
31:38
they do the switcheroo all of the talents her mom set aside in order to
31:45
be a single mom. Yeah, because honestly, I think the movie does
31:49
fall short on actually making it. So they switch back because now they have
31:55
common ground, like Jamie Lee Curtis plays guitar and Lindsay Lohan is like,
32:02
sure, marry my mom, and then they switch back. But I really
32:07
think that the story could have done so much more in the realm of actually
32:10
learning about one another instead of leaning into these like really comedic slapstick like well,
32:19
I'm I have to play therapist on Good Morning America now, and I
32:23
am going to take this high school test and really struggle at it and all
32:29
of that stuff. Yeah, it's almost like if you take Freaky Friday,
32:34
Yes, make it a little give it a little grit, but then also
32:37
make it a mini series so we can do some serious character development. Yeah,
32:43
like like a limited like a yeah, a limited series, and it
32:45
doesn't need a second season. That doesn't need to happen. It's just a
32:50
quick However, many episodes take out the ancient Chinese magic. Yeah, Chris
32:58
and I talked about how like that just felt a little icky because it's like,
33:02
what because especially in the original, that's not part of the original at
33:07
all. No, isn't it like a thunderstorm or something, or do they
33:10
just wake up. They hated each other so much they switched bodies. They
33:14
thought about it at the same time, and like some magic happened and they
33:20
and then it's and then it was they woke up the next day. So
33:22
I tell you about the Sunnians. In the eighties, they were wild about
33:25
body swap movies. Yeah, they loved body swap movies. Do you remember
33:30
that really creepy movie where Robert Downey Junior is dead but he swaps into his
33:36
daughter's boyfriend's body and then what they are you talking about? It's a movie.
33:45
It's a movie. It has a very young Robert Downey Junior in it,
33:50
and it was in the eight in the eighties. Yeah, the dad
33:52
dies, the dad dies, and Robert Downey Junior is so young he can
33:57
play like a college teen and and the day Johnny be good. Maybe no,
34:07
And the day because I've seen Johnny all the fucked up movies, all
34:12
the movies were grown up, is kind of fucking a teenager. But it's
34:15
fine because it's the ghost of her dead husband. That was a movie on
34:19
TV and I watched it. Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, I'm looking
34:22
at his cattle at the his IMDb now, because I'm like, I need
34:27
to know this is so weird. Maybe we need to like we can do
34:32
still comfy, but like once a month, we should be like movies that
34:35
we didn't really think existed, but and we thought we made up movies that
34:40
were confident are real. But movies that people tell me are fake. But
34:45
I know I've seen them, like the Polar Bear Kane. Oh my gosh,
34:51
no one's seen the Polar Bear Kinge. Just me. Yeah, I
34:54
don't know what you're talking about. Just me, but yeah, just like
35:00
I I don't know if it was because I was distracted because I was accomplishing
35:07
a lot today or whatever, but I had a hard time leaning into the
35:12
humor of it. Maybe it was my summertime sadness. Yeah, I like,
35:16
I just like, I don't know, if I just needed a little
35:22
bit more of them actually, like discovering things about one another to where I
35:29
was having to pay attention because as we know, I can like take or
35:34
leave some things and then I've stopped paying attention because I'm like, oh,
35:37
this is an easy joke. I've stopped paying attention. Sure, but that's
35:43
Disney, I know, It's Disney No. And as I turned on the
35:47
movie, I realized that I was more of a Amanda Bynes teen movie watcher
35:52
and not so much of a Lindsay Lohan. Okay, I do that.
35:59
I do under stand because I if you wanted to cover every single movie that
36:02
Amanda Bynes did, I'm in okay. I've seen them all one hundred thousand
36:07
times. Amanda vines and What a Girl Wants is probably my favorite one,
36:12
one of what one of What Girl ones is absolutely the best one. What
36:15
would be the other best one? She's the man, He's the man.
36:20
Is fun. I don't know if it holds up, but she's the man.
36:24
There there was let's see Sydney White White, I don't know. I
36:32
don't know about Sidney White. I also was Amanda Bynes in the What I
36:37
Like About You Show with Jenny Garth. Yes, I loved that show.
36:40
That was such a good fucking show. You know, What a Girl Wants
36:44
came out in two thousand and three as well. I love the Amanda Show.
36:52
The Amanda Show is good. I what movie Tod Robert Downey Junior star
36:58
and where he body Swaps? That's like that literally could be an Iron Man
37:01
movie, you had to put and then he fucks his life in a teenager's
37:07
body. That's what you have to put so people understand body swap in iron
37:15
Man. That could be any of the Avengers movies. Those Avenger movies get
37:19
wild. Well, I don't I don't know. I just feel like YouTube
37:25
punishes you for cussing and stuff problem And I actually think I have it set
37:30
up on my channel that like extreme cussing is blocked. Oh remember correctly?
37:37
Well, I think what does Critical Role try to tell me every Thursday when
37:39
one of them cusses during the ads? I think you have to get through
37:43
the first minute or like the first three minutes, like there's a timeline to
37:47
where they will flag you anymore. Got it? Okay, good to know
37:52
you could weigh in. Yeah, we're desperate to know. So you're thirty
37:58
six minutes into this live broadcast. I do kind of want to go back
38:04
to what you were talking about though, about the depths or the lack of
38:08
the depth of the relationship building and understanding. Yeah, because how how I
38:16
don't have a daughter. I was a daughter, I am a daughter.
38:21
I am a daughter. I am a daughter. Yeah, and I always
38:27
wonder because it was for me, it was really easy to build a relationship
38:30
with my son, and it's been really easy to maintain that relationship with my
38:36
son. We did not go through if he had maybe two months out of
38:40
his entire existence where it was like that stereotypical you know what you're talking about,
38:46
mom's door slam, I hate you kind of shit. But it didn't
38:50
last long. And I know that some people experience that regularly with their children,
38:58
and I don't know why. Well, And as you know, I
39:02
am child fleurious, but I'm not talking about him on the life. I'm
39:07
child free. But I was a daughter and I am a daughter. I
39:12
think my mom was the blocker of all that bullshit, Like I think my
39:15
other parental unit would try to be wild and be like, you're curfew seven
39:21
point thirty, I can't believe you gave her the keys to the car all
39:24
of that, and my mom would just be like, calm down, yeah,
39:28
Because my mom was a hot girl. She loved to do hot girl
39:30
shit, so she all she wanted in life was for me to be a
39:34
fellow hot girl. And I was hideous in high school and therefore she was
39:38
just like if someone invited namily out. You just let her fucking go.
39:43
Just let her go. He would just have to let her go. Let
39:47
her have friends. My god, we didn't think she could do it,
39:51
but she did. Oh, now I have all the rare is making friends.
39:55
Yeah, but I am very fascinated because I mean, maybe my friends
40:00
were yelling at their moms when I wasn't there, but like literally, like
40:07
I knew every one of my friend's moms, and we never shrieked at them.
40:10
We would crank at them. Yeah, it's just drink them. Like
40:16
one time, go ahead, sorry, one time, my friend's mom she
40:22
bought a fur coat, because every once in a while, you just need
40:25
to treat yourself. We lived in northwest Indiana. We were like, where
40:29
are you wearing the fur coat? Too? Where are you going the jewel,
40:35
like the grocery store where the decadence And she would she would leave and
40:38
she'd look us both in the eye and she'd be like, you two,
40:44
do not fuck with my fur. And now I can't hear brass monkey,
40:49
that funky monkey without picturing my best friend and I in her mother's furs,
40:55
damn, saying to brass. And she came home and she found us like
41:01
that, and she cussed us and we left. She still took us to
41:06
Wicked later that year. So I don't know, like every day is a
41:09
winding road with your mom's Yeah, And it's almost like, and we've had
41:15
this conversation before in the past and other arenas. It's almost like moms sometimes
41:19
forget that their children are their own person and so like sometimes the way one
41:25
parents it's based in the expectation that they will turn out the way that you
41:30
tell them to turn out, rather than you listening to what your children are
41:34
telling you about them themselves. And this is I feel like a situation whee
41:40
where Jamielee Curtis's character is like, this is the way you're supposed to be,
41:44
why are you not this way? And then Lindsay Lowens is like,
41:47
I'm so mad that you don't see me for me, which is every teen
41:52
hangsty setup. But like to your point, it's a very Disney wrap up
41:59
for them to come to understanding. Like like, so, so Lindsay Lohan
42:02
plays the guitar off stage, and then now Jamie Lee Curtis understands how talented
42:07
she is. When the girl has been practicing in the base in the garage
42:10
for how many months? Yeah, and she could clearly hear it. And
42:16
and also like, I'm not saying that my mom and dad were the most
42:22
emotionally intelligent people. God knows, I'm never gonna make that assumption, but
42:27
like should I have found myself shrieking because I used to be an unmedicated person
42:34
in a home like my my mom and my aunt, my favorite aunt,
42:38
they're very much people like why aren't you more chill? Like why can't you
42:44
just chill out? Which again I love telling people who are in the middle
42:46
of an episode, like have you ever tried breathing? Like just calm down?
42:51
But like so again. Also, my mom was pretty successful at actually
42:55
making me involved in her interests. We were both big readers. Yeah,
43:00
and them loves color theory, we love to decorate, We love to craft.
43:06
My dad loves dungeons and dragons. Like, my parents did a pretty
43:08
good job just assimilating me into their interests. You know what, mine too,
43:13
because both of my parents big time readers. My mom was very artsy
43:19
and ye, music my dad love I mean, they both love movies,
43:22
but family Film Night is one hundred percent from my dad. Yeah, music
43:27
is one hundred percent like pop music. Pop culture music is one hundred percent
43:30
for my dad. So what we're saying all music is one hundred percent for
43:34
my mom. So what we're saying is tests. And the movie should have
43:37
been more interesting, she should have had more hobbies, which I think is
43:43
a bigger like, it's a bigger message because like Tess woke up one day
43:47
a widow and she had these two kids, one of which was shrieking all
43:52
the time, and she had to hold down a job, she had to
43:54
write a book, she had to find some man. I also think it
43:59
is a test to on, you know, building a relationship with your children
44:04
for you, because it was clear that the primary relationship was daddy daughter.
44:10
Yes, and I don't think that's healthy either, because what happens when one
44:15
of you dies? Well, yeah, everyone should like their kids. You
44:20
Friday, right, creaky Friday. Oh you've done dead body swap in.
44:27
Everyone should like their kids. Everyone should like disappointed when people don't like their
44:31
kids in the comments everyone everyone should everyone please like your children. Everyone on
44:39
tikok like your kids. Like your kids. Even when you don't like your
44:46
kids, find one reason to tell them you like them today, even if
44:52
you don't even if you're looking at them, and you're like, I fucking
44:57
would love to squish this time head in, but by bedtime feel like I
45:05
really like that we both like the ocean, all right? I did,
45:07
Yeah, because it doesn't It never made any sense to me when people are
45:10
just so flabbergasted by their children. I'm like, but they lived in your
45:14
house for twenty years. People with interests, like how do you not know
45:22
your like what it's like how my dad just throws his hands up in the
45:27
air every time I talk about my show or like this show, or like
45:31
he watched me at gen Con Network with a bunch of people and like make
45:35
friends with people. And he's like, I just don't even know what you
45:37
do with your day all day And I'm like, I watch Disney Plus,
45:40
I watch Freaky Friday, and I take notes on my phone. That's what
45:45
I do with my day. Yeah, And I meditate and I think of
45:52
reasons to be pissed off about men in misogyny. Yeah, and that's what
45:58
I do with my day, dad, But it is, it's like this
46:01
weird and I feel like we were fed that narrative a lot about like our
46:06
parents just don't understand we have hormones. It's still perpetuated too, because when
46:10
I watch stuff now that's geared towards teens, and my whole hang up in
46:15
that is no. But we we fixed that. Yeah, we as elder
46:21
millennials who have children have fixed that. And then I go and spend time
46:25
with my peers who have children and realize it I fixed it and no one
46:30
else. Everyone. It's like when it's like when I'm Michael, you can't
46:37
break. It's inevitable. It's like when I run into a person in my
46:42
age bracket and they're a conservative, and I'm like, why would you choose
46:45
that? How did that have everything we've lived through. The ocean is boiling.
46:51
You just want to be denial about that? Right? The orcos are
46:54
mad? We're mad. Actually beg to the trench. Over the week I
47:00
was on Meg's side, I was like, that shark was just underneath a
47:05
part of the ozone of the ocean that we had not seen, if the
47:07
false bottom of the ocean, and he didn't want to be here. He
47:12
didn't want to he was in his own part of the ocean. And we
47:15
fucked around and we found we found out and that's and and and that's the
47:20
moral of Jurassic Park. That's the moral of Planet of the Apes. We
47:23
fucked around and we found out. But conservative, I guess, I guess
47:31
I don't get it. I also like, as you know, as a
47:35
person who gets to live on the periphery of people who are parenting but not
47:39
actually have to actively parent, I'm constantly like, oh, you're really gonna
47:45
care about that? Okay. I would just let the kid play with the
47:49
dice until he was ready to move on. You know. It's funny about
47:52
that when my son got like old enough to like explore on his own bill
47:59
like like as a neighbor child or whatever, and my parents would just be
48:01
like whatever about it. And it was just like, you guys, never
48:05
you would never let us like the freedom this child has is a grandchild.
48:08
We never ever. And my mom said to me, she goes, well,
48:13
you get to a point where you realize your kids survived and they probably
48:16
would have survived had you not been that strict. My parents never knew where
48:22
I was. I've asked them. I was like, would you like to
48:24
know the activities that I used to complete in the woods before I had a
48:29
cell phone? And you did not know that I was in the woods well,
48:30
and my mom was been, no, don't misunderstand me. There was
48:35
definitely a lot of like, yeah, we're going to the movie's mom,
48:38
and it wasn't. That's not where we were. My parents never know where
48:42
it was. But my son was like eight or nine when she told me
48:45
that, and that like released me from this idea that I had to hold
48:52
on to some sort of like perceived parenting style that we all have to do.
49:00
And it was like, oh, yeah, he's it's gonna be fine.
49:01
Trust your kid, and I tell him that all the time. I
49:05
trust you. I do not trust the rest of the world. So like
49:08
you could do all the things that you need to do to survive and come
49:12
home safely and all that stuff, the rest of the world doesn't give a
49:15
shit that somebody's at home caring, like worried about you and caring for you
49:19
and you know, praying to full moons for you. Like they don't give
49:22
a shit that I gave up twenty years of my life to make sure that
49:24
you grew up to be, you know, a happy, healthy adult in
49:30
college. Like, but you, I trust so like it has nothing And
49:34
I had to make that very clear to him. It has nothing to do
49:37
with you. Is everything to do with the fact that I know the world
49:39
does not give a shit that you are loved. Right, hear that everybody
49:45
the world does not give a shit that you are loved. The oceans are
49:50
boiling, the orcas are mad, the otters are stealing surfboards. The end
49:58
is not is what I'm saying, Like, it's still ninety degrees out,
50:02
and I would like to know why. The other part of it, too,
50:07
I know, because the earth is mad. The other part of it
50:09
too is I always operated in the sense of like, I want you to
50:14
want to come home to visit me. Yeah, I want you to want
50:17
to be like, you know what, I haven't seen my mom in a
50:21
while, Like, let me go visit and I and I think watching Freaky
50:28
Friday, you're like Jamie Lee. Do you even like your children well?
50:31
And does she have time you like her children? Do you even like care
50:36
that your daughter's hurting? You're a therapist, you should care well. And
50:39
again, I think that blends into the weird realm of gen X boomer mothers
50:46
who is like I accidentally may have said out loud to my mother that she
50:52
ruined her own life by having me, and then she had to explain to
50:57
me that that is not how she felt. Oh that was like, yeah,
51:00
I just tell people, like, you know, my mom was doing
51:02
hot girl shit and then she had me too early in her marriage, ruined
51:06
her life. And my mom's like that No. I was like, oh
51:09
is that an ah, That's how I perceived everyone felt. So you know,
51:15
we worked through it. We worked through it like everything you did fine,
51:21
at least it was out there. But you and I talk a lot
51:24
about how our mothers didn't actually have the choice to be anything but our mothers.
51:30
So I grew up on home where my mother was constantly going through a
51:34
career change to try and find what it is that she actually wanted to do
51:37
with her life. And I do believe it's because she went to school not
51:43
actually knowing what she wanted to do with her life, because she was eighteen
51:46
and she had all of this, like life before that that was filled with
51:51
trauma and feelings and growing up too soon and all of it. And I
51:55
get that vibe from Jamie Lee Curtis where it's like, you know, you
52:00
know, every once in a while, because you know, my Grandpa died
52:04
young. My grandpa died young, and every once in a while and I'm
52:07
like, you know, Grandma Peck probably loved Grandpa every moment of every day,
52:13
except for that one hour of the day maybe as she laid her down
52:16
to sleep where she went, fuck that fucker for dying on me. Because
52:22
you never expect to actually be a widow. Divorce maybe, but a widow,
52:27
huh uh. And it changes the game a little bit too, because
52:30
at least when you're divorced, you sort of share custody or there's some sort
52:34
of splitting of the care in theory that's not always true. You can tell
52:38
someone to be like, you're bestard children today and if you have, you
52:44
know, custody split fifty to fifty, then you get you get respite,
52:47
right, someone taps in, someone else taps in, But you're right.
52:52
When you are a widow, there is no respite. And even in two
52:55
thousand and three, because if you'll recall, I became a parent following year,
53:00
even in that era, it still was very hard for women to be
53:06
successful as single women, as single mothers. Well, and I can't and
53:14
again I've only known well, I've known several widows. But I've only known
53:17
one widow who then had to raise teenagers and young children after the widow,
53:22
Wyane, And I can't imagine what it's like to have society tell you all
53:31
the time that women are dramatic and yvery emotional, and they're crazy, and
53:37
they should be quiet and they should be pleasant and they should smile more.
53:42
And then to have the person that you were going to build a life with
53:45
die and then you have to shut that part of your brain off because your
53:51
kids are crying about it, right, And then that like that feeling of
53:57
like moving on and now your kids are crying about that, and there's just
54:02
like it's so much to hold on to and you're forced to hold on to
54:07
it because you're the grown up in the room. Yeah, and we're not
54:09
allowed to have space to do grief or feel our emotions regardless. I'm reading
54:17
that book When the Women, When Women were Dragons, Yeah, and she
54:22
literally talks about that how like the first thing her mom ever taught her about
54:27
being a woman socially. And this is a book that takes place in the
54:30
fifties, but I'm pretty sure that we're still getting this lesson. And she
54:34
goes My mother taught me how to make the neutral pleasant face, So even
54:38
when I was angry, even when I was sad, even when I was
54:43
enraged, happy, any of it to get through whatever moment I needed to
54:47
get through, so everyone around me was comfortable and we could all survive it.
54:52
Yeah, she taught me how to just like soften my face, shot
54:58
off that part of my brain, do that little half smile, and then
55:01
be like, can I please leave the room to go scream in my car?
55:05
Yeah. Yeah, It's almost as if they give us a manual when
55:09
we turn a certain age. It reminds me a lot of that like meltdown
55:14
that Drew Barrymore has at the end of writing in Cars with Boys Because I
55:17
asked her. Kid of hers tries to tell her that she didn't do a
55:21
good job, and I'm always like, fuck that kid, and I'm screaming
55:25
with her. I'm like, she should be screaming at you in the street.
55:29
She wanted to be an author. She wanted to be an award winning
55:31
author. Okay, she got knocked up by dumb dumb Steve's on. Yeah,
55:37
we're like a drug problem. He has a drug problem. We're lucky
55:40
he didn't do it two, three or four times, because I've seen women
55:44
go through that. Yeah, and then Brittany Murphy died, So leave Drew
55:51
Barrymore alone. Yeah yeah, yeah, Okay, so that leads us to
55:57
our final question. Yeah, sure, are you still comfying? I feel
56:01
like that last Yeah, I feel like that little last tidbit about like the
56:07
pleasantry of Like sometimes things for women just have to be pleasant and that's all
56:12
they get to be. That fits Freaky Friday. There wasn't like a lot
56:16
of conflict. Actually, they were just shrieking at each other, just they
56:21
were just having a bad day. And then there was also like a bad
56:25
dirt day they go on down. But there also wasn't like a grand coming
56:32
together, like they just decided and yes, mom will marry the sporing man
56:37
like and he doesn't want to be an evil stepfather like I like. Honestly,
56:43
his arc is probably the most interesting arc of the movie because it's like
56:46
I've been secretly hoping that Lindsay Lohan would love me, and you're trying to
56:52
ruin it. I actually really appreciated how into being a stepdad he was in
56:58
like a very wholesome way. Yeah, because it is really hard to find
57:02
a partner who is okay with there being a child. Plus for me,
57:09
it was extra baggage because it's a whole lot of drama on that end on
57:15
the other side, and many of men have come and have decided and decided
57:20
that they for whatever reason, didn't want to be a part and didn't want
57:23
to be, you know, witnessed to all that shit and didn't want to
57:28
support me through having to deal with all of the shit. So seeing him
57:32
kind of come in and granted again she is a widow, but seeing him
57:37
come in and just be like, I will be your support, Like,
57:40
that's the fucking dream, the fucking dream. So yeah, I'm comfortable with
57:45
the movie. Maybe take out the ancient Chinese magic with the fortune cookies.
57:50
Maybe take out Chad michael Berry wanting to make kiss. He kiss was Jamie
57:54
Lee Curtis, but like, stood on you, Jamie, you got to
57:58
kiss, You got to kiss. So the hottest heart throb on the WB
58:01
that year. Yeah, yeah, eight out of ten. I'm so comfy
58:09
with it as well, because I feel like I do appreciate that it is
58:16
a mother daughter story versus some sort of like unhealthy rom com for teens.
58:27
Yeah, and we know I love rom coms, but like it could have
58:32
turned it could have turned into it could have been the wrong kind of story.
58:37
And I Robert down and junior story that I'm telling you about is that
58:43
Robert, like Jamie Lee Curtis, could have had sex with Chad michael Berry
58:46
and it would be like It's fine, though, because it's anna like so
58:52
awkward. It's so awkward. It makes me so uncomfortable, like just to
59:02
think about how I would have to be, like if I were the mom
59:07
in Freaky Friday. Because you know this, I do this regularly. I'll
59:09
watch a movie and I'm like, God, that that boy is fine,
59:14
and then I'll look him up and I'll be like, he was born in
59:15
nineteen ninety five. I'm like, fuck me, I can't believe I just
59:20
said that. It's like or there was more reason, though, I know
59:24
there was one recently that I looked up and he was born in like two
59:27
thousand and one, and I was like, I you can't. You can't
59:31
have hots the hots for the boys that have the twenty in front of their
59:36
year. I was like, this is so uncomfortable. I don't think that
59:40
you should be an actor because and again it plays into the whole like it's
59:46
not his fault that he's cute, and I find him cute. You should
59:50
quit his job because you're a horn dog cell can't handle watching him on movies.
59:57
You're like, quit your job, this is indecent. But it's like
1:00:00
it's like it's like I forget my age sometimes and then when I look up
1:00:05
ages and see how close an age they are to my child, it becomes
1:00:08
this moment of want, want, because I, like I told you the
1:00:14
other day, I probably could get away with saying I'm ten years younger and
1:00:17
people would probably believe it. Yeah, we have great skin. Yeah,
1:00:23
It's it's like when I told you the story last year when I moved my
1:00:28
child into school, they asked which one of us was moving in. I
1:00:34
swear, if I got more sleep, I would look so youthful at my
1:00:37
skin has held up. Thank you Croatia. Same yes, same, thank
1:00:43
you Italia. Jesus, like I've got the I've got the Mediterranean slash melanin
1:00:52
going on here, And like even when I look at my parents now,
1:00:54
it's like I forget how old they are because their skin looks so amazing,
1:01:00
I'm telling you. I had a great aunt. She just died on the
1:01:04
eve of ninety and I was like, what do you mean? Yeah,
1:01:07
there's fool sixty five taps. I have an uncle turning eighty next year,
1:01:13
and I forget all the time because he doesn't look it right, and I
1:01:16
just like to live in delusion. No one's told me the actual number.
1:01:21
Yeah, all right, friend, tell everybody what you are up to this
1:01:24

1:01:43
forgotten which one it is. I think we need to switch it because Jurassic
1:01:46

1:03:22
I Friends. Hi, I'm Julia Washington. Your host of pop culture makes
1:03:25
me jealous. Where we analyze pop culture through the lens of race or gender
1:03:28
and sometimes both. This week on the show, we are doing our summer
1:03:31
blockbuster movie wrap up with Movies with Mister Mario. We get into the top
1:03:37
ten highest grossing films domestically. We talk about our summer favorites, we talk
1:03:44
about what were the biggest surprises, and we talk about who we think has
1:03:49
awards opportunities. Assuming the strike is over by then and we have it feels
1:03:57
like the strike has been going on for Execute desert Able. We really need
1:04:01
the executives to get off their million dollars of shit and share some of that
1:04:05
profitability with the true people who are doing the actual work. Everyone, everyone
1:04:13
cuss out an executive today. That is your homework everyone. I don't care
1:04:16
if they're a movie executive. Just find an executive and cuss them out.
1:04:23
And then go see Bottoms because that is the summer. So upset and they
1:04:28
won't and they won't wide release it unless the people who are in the towns
1:04:33
that they released it go and see it. So everyone rushed to your nearest
1:04:38
theater that's playing Bottoms and go see it. Yes, please, because I
1:04:42
need to see it. Oh, Mario showed up and I didn't even say
1:04:45
hi, Mario. We're glad you're here. He is our guest this week.
1:04:48

1:05:17
We are offering so many amazing perks that we can't see see see,
1:05:25
and Mario and I are not that far in distance, so this makes me
1:05:28
very upset. I can't help it. The date and be cooler than California,
1:05:32
truly, So I'm like, come on, it looks so good.
1:05:35
It's a plot twist none of us saw coming, and they had the audacity
1:05:41
to show it as a trailer in like several movies I saw this summer.
1:05:45
It's the funniest movie I've ever seen. Honestly, I'm just so jealous.
1:05:49
I really want to see it. Support your local lesbians and go see Bottoms.
1:05:57
I mean, that's an executive and then support your local Let's be in
1:06:01
Oh, Mario says, supposedly releasing wide in two weeks, and we're gonna
1:06:06
keep our fingers crossed that that is true so we can cover it on pop
1:06:10
culture. Makes me jealous inappropriate time. Friends, we are so glad to
1:06:17
be back from our summer hiatus. We've had such a fun summer and we
1:06:23
have done so many things this summer that you all should be jealous about.
1:06:29
And if you followed us on in the internet grams, you would know.
1:06:39
Can you tell us this is our first show back after like three months?
1:06:43
Well, I had to stare at Mario's comment for like a good thirty seconds
1:06:45
before I was like, Ah, I'm just here so I don't get fined.
1:06:48
He was amazing. Put him in all the movies like we did What's
1:06:51
that Wrestler? John Sena? Him and John sena need to be in a
1:06:56
movie together where they don't belong, but they do. John Cena is in
1:07:00
a new movie. I saw a trailer four when I went and saw Grand
1:07:03
Turismo, and I don't know how I feel about it. I was like,
1:07:12
I love John Cena. Everyone cuss out an executive, this is your
1:07:16
homework for the sports or local lesbians, and tell John Cena you love them.
1:07:23
And stay cozy, stay companie until next time. Friends,
