Transcript
- 0:11I feel like if I were to achieve that by some mystical means, I
- 0:18would create such an aesthetic court.
- 0:27I would create an aesthetic that is so toxic.
- 0:43Hello and welcome to the Arctic Costume Podcast.
- 0:45I'm Elizabeth Joy Glass. And I'm Spencer Williams.
- 0:48What's up, Elizabeth? Oh, you know, it's just another
- 0:52beautiful sunny summer day it. Is a beautiful sunny day hot
- 0:58girl? Summer has begun.
- 1:00Oh yes. All of 75° outside, which is
- 1:03absolutely too hot. Might I and but?
- 1:06Too bad for California. Anything over like 69, I'm
- 1:11automatically complaining. But, you know, I get that people
- 1:15are into that sort of thing. So, yeah.
- 1:17I like a good like 85. No, I feel like he just judged
- 1:22me a lot for that. No way 85 hate it.
- 1:27How are you, Elizabeth? I feel like I haven't seen you
- 1:29in a while. I'm.
- 1:30Doing OK. Oh, I forgot to tell you this
- 1:35before I got another costume job.
- 1:38Oh yeah, we, Elizabeth and I have actually been talking for
- 1:42like 45 minutes now. We just barely started
- 1:44recording. What is the costume job, if
- 1:47you're allowed to say? Yeah, it's the theater I've been
- 1:51working with They. You're so in demand now.
- 1:54Apparently, but they emailed me and we're like, hey, we need
- 2:02someone for this, can you do this?
- 2:04I was like, yeah, OK, it's Escape to Margaritaville, which
- 2:10is like the Juvie Buffett musical.
- 2:13So I was like, you know what? OK, I'll do that.
- 2:19This is brilliant. I didn't know is this a thing?
- 2:24Do do other people know of this musical?
- 2:28I I didn't hear about it till till this theater was doing it.
- 2:34Hold on. I'm gonna send you the wiki page
- 2:36for it, OK? I didn't know this was a thing.
- 2:39I gotta tell you, Elizabeth, I'm a big fan of Margaritaville.
- 2:42I've been there many, many times, the restaurant.
- 2:46So if you need any like historical research on like the
- 2:51Margaritaville restaurant or the clientele or the extensive
- 2:54Margarita list. Will you go do some field
- 2:57research for me? I absolutely will.
- 3:00It is part of everyone knows. When I go to Universal Studios,
- 3:03I make a bee line over to Margaritaville because there's
- 3:07less kids there. Yeah, still some kids, but it's
- 3:10a quiet place for you to get totally wasted after being at a
- 3:15theme park full of people all day, so.
- 3:17I think isn't that where we went after last time we were all.
- 3:21You and I have definitely been in Margaritaville too.
- 3:24I just remembered that. I get that the play's probably
- 3:27not about that, but I just feel like I could offer a little
- 3:30something here. Good.
- 3:31I'll keep, I'll keep that in mind, Spencer.
- 3:33I'll keep that in mind. But yeah, so I'm working on
- 3:38that. And then they also, I'm gonna do
- 3:41their musical after that, which is something about a, a ride,
- 3:46the Cyclone, which I'm not quite sure what that's about yet, but
- 3:50I saw, like, ghost school children and 'cause I'll look up
- 3:54pictures of like, past productions, 'cause I'm not a
- 3:57musical person. So some of the things I've just
- 4:00been like, what is this? Yeah.
- 4:03I've never heard of that one. Yeah, when I saw like the ghosty
- 4:07looking school children, I was like, well sign me up.
- 4:12Yeah, I mean, I love that. Well, great.
- 4:16That sounds. So exciting.
- 4:18That was my life. I love this.
- 4:21I love that you're now high in demand in the Philadelphia
- 4:24theater scene. This is Maryland, actually.
- 4:28Oh. Even better, I.
- 4:31Think centrally located for multiple states.
- 4:35And all of those out there listening who are looking to
- 4:38book your next theater costume designer.
- 4:39She is centrally located to Pennsylvania and Maryland so.
- 4:45Let me know. It's been busy over here.
- 4:48You know, it is award season. So I have been doing about a
- 4:52million interviews a day. If you all would like to read
- 4:55some of those, For example, we have Dana Kovarubius who did
- 4:59Only Murders in the building. She's on their blog.
- 5:02That's a good one. Susan Michalak from Abbott
- 5:05Elementary to Michael Wilkinson who did Three body problem.
- 5:10He also is on a podcast before to talk about and or there's
- 5:16there's so many and there's so many more that I are about to be
- 5:19posted. By the time you've heard of this
- 5:21podcast episode, I've just probably did a massive dump on
- 5:24the website. I feel like every day you've
- 5:26been texting our group chat, OK, I have an interview with this
- 5:30person today and this person, Oh, I have an interview with
- 5:34this person tomorrow. Like you're so booked and busy.
- 5:38It is a lot, but obviously I love it and I love that so many
- 5:43people want to talk to us and, you know, talk about their
- 5:46costumes, talk about their shows and know that this is a safe
- 5:49place to just talk about their process.
- 5:52And I, both of us, are always just willing to just listen and
- 5:57'cause, you know, I'm a fan of costume design, so I could get
- 5:59into any series or film. That being said, let's kick off
- 6:04Hot Girls Summer Elizabeth. We have a big episode ahead of
- 6:07us 'cause we were heading to the wasteland to watch a very dirty,
- 6:12filthy film. What did we watch this week?
- 6:15Spencer we watched literally the hottest hot girl summer movie
- 6:23this week. We watched Furiosa, a Mad Max
- 6:27saga. Yeah, oh boy, do I have a lot of
- 6:32thoughts about this movie, but I'm not gonna fire them all off
- 6:35right away. I have to say like I loved how
- 6:42beautiful this film was. Like George Miller, he never
- 6:48misses in terms of visuals. Like everyone on this film was
- 6:54so talented and did such a beautiful job.
- 6:57It was. It was just nice to look at.
- 7:00Yeah, that's the thing. I went and saw an IMAX and you
- 7:03just know, with any Mad Max film you're gonna get like a visual
- 7:07spectacle. Furioso is nothing short of
- 7:09that. I just love the scenes watching
- 7:12all of them ride on, you know, their bikes in the desert.
- 7:17I can't get enough of that. Like, you know, I mean, actually
- 7:20a big portion of the movie takes place with all of them if
- 7:22fighting over that war rig. And it was fine with me.
- 7:25That could have been two hours long and I was sat there and
- 7:27just watched them battle it out for this truck full of cabbages
- 7:31and I would have been satisfied. I know and I also love like just
- 7:36watching the sand in this movie. Like, I don't know how they get
- 7:40sand to be interesting, but sand is interesting in this movie and
- 7:45it looks really good. Great sand.
- 7:48Love the sand. Let's get into Elizabeth and
- 7:52I'll start us off with a summary.
- 7:55Snatched from the green place of many mothers, young Furiosa
- 7:59falls into the hands of a great biker horde led by the warlord
- 8:03Dementis. Sweeping through the wasteland,
- 8:06they come across the Citadel, presided over by the Immortan
- 8:11Joe. As the two tyrants fight for
- 8:13dominance, Furiosa soon finds herself in a non-stop battle to
- 8:17make her way home. And that is Furiosa.
- 8:21If you haven't seen Furiosa, go to a theater if you have about 3
- 8:24hours to kill. It's really worth it on a big
- 8:28screen. Yeah, yeah.
- 8:31Anyway, let's go behind the costumes with director George
- 8:36Miller and costume designer, one of our favorites, Jenny Bevin.
- 8:42Jenny, I do not miss Bevin. Yeah, yeah, because guess what,
- 8:48Spencer? This woman has 9 Oscar
- 8:51nominations and three wins. Yeah, she's a monster in the
- 8:55best way possible. Absolutely.
- 8:58And you may know at least some of her notable work.
- 9:02We gave up trying to put all of her notable work in here.
- 9:07You might know her work from A Room with A View, for which she
- 9:09received her first Oscar, Sense and Sensibility, for which she
- 9:14received an Oscar nomination. One of our favorites here at The
- 9:19Art of Costume Ever After A Cinderella Story, which we have
- 9:23an episode on. A fun one too that still gets
- 9:27listened to quite a. Bit that is a good one.
- 9:31The King's Speech, an Oscar nomination.
- 9:34Mad Max Fury Rd. for which you got her second Oscar win.
- 9:39The Nutcracker in the Four Realms, Cruella, our first
- 9:43episode ever, for which she received her third Oscar win,
- 9:50and most recently, Missus Harris Goes to Paris, for which she
- 9:54received another Oscar nomination.
- 9:58I always forget that Krilla was our first episode, but why
- 10:02forget? Even more often than that is
- 10:04that we have an episode for The Nutcracker in the four rounds.
- 10:07We do. Oh my gosh, we do.
- 10:09I totally forgot about that till I was writing the notes today.
- 10:14We do so for Christmas. Yeah, if you're in the mood for
- 10:17some Christmas spirit, that episode does exist.
- 10:21I think it was good. I don't remember though.
- 10:24We've done so many at this point I'm starting to forget and I
- 10:27never thought we'd get to this point.
- 10:29Well, Furiosa just came out, so there isn't a lot to talk about
- 10:36in terms of the research. However, our good friends at
- 10:39Warner Brothers actually had a lot of great direct quotes from
- 10:44the Queen herself, Jenny Bevin, about working on Furiosa.
- 10:48And what I think you and I could probably agree on the most is
- 10:53that these Mad Max films are just entirely creative and I
- 10:58just love watch how they are able to make something out of
- 11:02nothing. Honestly, it still blows my
- 11:04mind. Every time Jenny Bevin talked
- 11:08about that element of creativity, she said I think
- 11:10there's still an element of creativity.
- 11:13George always said just because it's the wasteland and it's
- 11:16dirty and desperate and all that doesn't mean it can't be
- 11:20interesting and beautiful. Not everything, but some people
- 11:23always will. I mean, they've nothing else to
- 11:26do now. People knit and crochet and
- 11:29watch TV, but we thought in a wasteland they'd be doing
- 11:32something in their evenings with their clothing to give it
- 11:34interest and personality. That was definitely our plan,
- 11:38which I love the idea. Like, you know, like all these
- 11:41big scary guys who are all deformed and whatnot are in
- 11:45their tents just like, you know, maybe studying their jacket a
- 11:48little bit. Yeah, no, I love that.
- 11:52And that was one thing I kind of liked about this movie was cause
- 11:55in the first one, it's like so focused on them getting those
- 11:59girls out. Yeah, that you don't really get
- 12:01to know like the world. And in this movie, you got to
- 12:05know the world and, like, kind of, I felt you got to, like,
- 12:09know a lot more how, like, other people live their lives,
- 12:12especially outside the Citadel. So I thought that was really
- 12:16interesting. And it's like, yeah, once the
- 12:18sun's down, like, or going down, you can't, like, forage for
- 12:22stuff anymore. So you gotta fill your time with
- 12:24something. Yeah, I'm actually really glad
- 12:26you said that. That gave me a probably maybe
- 12:29half a star more on the film rating because it's true like
- 12:33the first film, it was very much like this is about game from
- 12:36point A to point B. You know, that was Fury Row.
- 12:41This one is very much like it was almost like gang to know the
- 12:44neighborhood. You have the bullet farm over
- 12:46here and gas down over here and Chris Hemsworth is causing a
- 12:51ruckus over here and dementis is doing weird stuff over here.
- 12:55And don't forget about the cannibals that live under the
- 12:57bridge here. And you know, like so I loved, I
- 13:00really did love. I love world building.
- 13:03That's one of the reasons why I love film.
- 13:05So this Furiosa definitely did that.
- 13:08But as you can tell, we have a lot of thoughts about this film,
- 13:12but you'll have to wait till after the break before we get
- 13:15into them everyone. Will be right back.
- 13:43Spencer, I don't know about you, but I kind if I was in the Mad
- 13:48Max world, I'd want to be living in the Green Place.
- 13:53Oh, without question. I don't think any of the other
- 13:56options really look. Like, no, no, I'm like, I was so
- 14:02surprised when it started off like that, 'cause it's like,
- 14:04here are these two cute little kids in their little, their
- 14:07little blue outfits picking like Peaches and then you see these
- 14:12ugly guys on bikes. What happened to the security
- 14:19system? What what's going on here?
- 14:21I'm. Like, OK, you're so worried
- 14:23about people finding out where you are.
- 14:27Why don't you have somebody watching your children like?
- 14:31Do you know where your children are?
- 14:34Have you ever seen those those commercials from the 80s and
- 14:3790s? Oh my God.
- 14:38That's what they, that's what they're, that's what's missing.
- 14:41Absolutely. What's missing?
- 14:43Well, I want to start this podcast by talking about the
- 14:46opening scene because I think it actually has some of the best
- 14:48parts of an entire film is young Furiosa and her mother and this
- 14:53entire like sequence of her mother chasing, you know, down
- 14:59the men who stole Furiosa on this dirt bike.
- 15:02It's just that's like some good action scenes.
- 15:04I love seeing like this bad ass woman on this bike stealing the
- 15:08armor with the rifle and like that was just some good stuff.
- 15:11So I just wanted to give a quick shout out to that scene and
- 15:15these actors. Yeah, it absolutely was.
- 15:18And like, I loved what she was wearing 'cause it was like, like
- 15:22their whole thing is clearly being like calm and peaceful and
- 15:26like living their lives and letting nobody else live this
- 15:32life. And so it's like, it's this
- 15:35beautiful, like rich blue and just like very flowy.
- 15:39And then like, as soon as she goes into like chase down mode,
- 15:44I feel like it turns into like the perfect like action where
- 15:49like she adds that like belt to it and she's like, OK, let's go.
- 15:54I'm already wardrobe ready. Layering junk on top of it.
- 15:57I love like the skull helmet she has and yeah it.
- 16:01Was the helmets those guys had were kind of cool.
- 16:06Elizabeth's kind of a fan. I hate the actions, love the
- 16:11wardrobe. Yeah, that's very fair.
- 16:16But all good things have to come to an end, and unfortunately for
- 16:19any Mad Max film, the good things usually come to an end
- 16:22pretty quickly. So we get over to Dementis's
- 16:28camp and we get to meet Dementis and all of his interesting crew
- 16:33members. And before we get into Dementis
- 16:37and whatnot, I think this is really the first moment where we
- 16:40get to see that creativity that Jenny Bevins talking about,
- 16:44'cause you look at everyone's costume and not a single costume
- 16:48is the same. All of them are just made of the
- 16:51most random stuff ever. So Jenny Bedman talked about
- 16:58this a little bit, saying in the Wasteland the guiding principles
- 17:02are that there is nothing. And so anything they find has to
- 17:05have a purpose. And George loves it.
- 17:08If they can have 33 different purposes doesn't mean they can't
- 17:11be decorative. So you're using stuff that's
- 17:14really of not much use anymore to work with.
- 17:16And obviously there's no wasteland supermarket.
- 17:19They're gonna make clothes last and last and last.
- 17:22They're gonna use anything they could find out there.
- 17:24Bones, leather. And this one, we're a bit
- 17:28earlier, so we've still got the green place.
- 17:30So there is this wonderful possibility of a little area
- 17:33with water. You could grow things outside.
- 17:37Then you go into the wasteland, which borders it.
- 17:39So it's definitely about purpose.
- 17:41Georgia's other great mantra is keep it simple, which we do
- 17:44until we don't. So.
- 17:48I love that which we do until we don't.
- 17:51You can absolutely see how like all of these could have been
- 17:55very simple and still worked quite well.
- 17:59But they just like, it's like the opposite of Chanel.
- 18:03Don't take one thing off before you leave the house.
- 18:06Put on 10 things and then you're good to leave the house in the
- 18:11wasteland. If you're feeling light, you're
- 18:13probably doing it wrong. You know, looking around like at
- 18:17that first scene when Dementis is in his camp and he's kind of
- 18:21like the cult leader Dementis, surrounded by all his games.
- 18:25And they all have chains and, you know, leather and scissors.
- 18:30And one guy kind of looks like he's wearing like a Ed Hardy
- 18:33T-shirt that he found somehow. Do you see what I'm talking
- 18:38about? Yeah.
- 18:38In the. Back.
- 18:40Yeah. I don't know how that happened.
- 18:42I guess maybe he did find a waistline supermarket.
- 18:45But just like everyone has like, random pieces and none of them
- 18:49are cut correctly. It's just like everything's
- 18:51falling apart, which I absolutely love.
- 18:53And This is why Jenny Bevin won the Oscar for Fury Rd. is
- 18:57because they were able to take a bunch of nothing and turn into
- 19:00something. And she still continues to
- 19:03deliver. And Furiosa, if there's one
- 19:06thing I can say about Furious is that the costumes were
- 19:08excellent. Absolutely.
- 19:10I, I especially love like the the guys who all wear black.
- 19:15Yeah. And it's like their leader.
- 19:17The guy octoboss with the horn helmet, yes.
- 19:20I'm almost like, I don't know how but this guy somehow has
- 19:24seen one of the original Star Wars movies and just really
- 19:28loved Darth Vader. Especially.
- 19:33When you see his like outfit here without the helmet on.
- 19:36Yeah, very much gives like that kind of like dark stormtrooper
- 19:41look. And it he's he's been able to
- 19:43maintain it because he knows he has a sick outfit.
- 19:45So I bet you this man takes a great pride in his outfit and I
- 19:51love the horned helmet. He's very much like this dark,
- 19:54kind of like caped crusader character.
- 19:58I know he's probably a sleazebag like every other character, but
- 20:01I gotta say, if I were to be on anyone's crew, it would probably
- 20:06be Octopus. Yeah, and the wasteland, there's
- 20:08probably like one in good person in 500, I'm guessing.
- 20:13Yeah. So.
- 20:14And even that one is still questionable.
- 20:16But you know, he has cool style, so.
- 20:19Yeah. All right, Elizabeth, let's talk
- 20:21about the cult leader Dementis, played by the great Chris
- 20:25Hemsworth. So my good things I'm going to
- 20:30say first is I thought that Chris Hemsworth's Cape, the
- 20:35parachute Cape, the cloak was fantastic.
- 20:38That is, I love that costume. I agree.
- 20:41I think it's so cool that you watch this.
- 20:43Literally this costume piece becomes like a plot point where
- 20:46it just transitions over and over throughout the film to, you
- 20:51know, well, spoiler warning, at this point, you all should have
- 20:53seen Furiosa, but it leads all the way to the end when Furiosa
- 20:57is wearing it in Dementis. And yeah, I think it's a really
- 21:01cool piece. It's.
- 21:02So cool. And I love how, like, it starts
- 21:05off white and I love how he like, wears it at first like a
- 21:08shock 'cause I'm like, you're giving off like strong Jesus
- 21:11vibes. And like he so clearly tries to
- 21:16set himself up as a good person in a bad world.
- 21:20Like I'm not the worst. And it's like, dude.
- 21:23But you are in many different ways.
- 21:26Yeah, no, he's horrible. But like I also he does have
- 21:29like that cult leader charm where you do kind of want to
- 21:32believe he has good intentions. And honestly, like that one
- 21:35moment where he kind of stood up for Furiosa before he traded her
- 21:39over to be Cod knows what for Morton Joe.
- 21:43Like I think he was trying to protect her.
- 21:45He just gave up really quickly. But you know, so there's flashes
- 21:50of very minuscule good and this very evil man.
- 21:55Also, it's Chris Hemsworth, so you want to believe that there's
- 21:58good under there. You do, you do.
- 22:03And it kind of softens him a bit when he realized that he's
- 22:06wearing a teddy bear around him basically the whole time, and
- 22:10Jenny Bevin had something to say about that cute, cuddly teddy
- 22:14bear. So Jenny Bevin said the whole
- 22:18thing of dementis and a teddy bear dot, dot, dot.
- 22:23I found Dementis an incredibly hard character to get my head
- 22:27around. I remember researching gurus,
- 22:30pop culture phenomenons, flamboyant characters,
- 22:33dictators, they all seem to be in the realm of what this
- 22:36character is. And then we did a whole zoom on
- 22:39a character of dementus and various others, and I still
- 22:43didn't quite get it. And then I think I got into the
- 22:46idea of mixing the dictator and the guru, and that was a really
- 22:49good start. And he obviously rides a
- 22:51motorbike, and he is a showman and has that funny little jacket
- 22:55thing that looks like a bandleader or could be a hussar
- 22:59or just his sort of showing off. So I put one on a guardian of
- 23:04Gastown. The idea being that if you see
- 23:06it somewhere else, you know where he got it from.
- 23:08So she's referring to this like, bandleader vest he wears.
- 23:11Toward the end, she's saying that he found it off.
- 23:14And you know someone in Gastown, she continues to say.
- 23:17And as his power increases, he's adding to his visual look.
- 23:20And it was just that one simple little garment that we added,
- 23:22nothing else. Obviously.
- 23:24We worked on a white parachute cloak and the bear, I think is
- 23:27just because he's such a damaged character.
- 23:30It's his thing from childhood. And our bear is we actually got
- 23:33the original bear off eBay in England and then we had
- 23:36multiples made by a phenomenally talented crew in Australia and
- 23:40the bear became quite a big part of Chris Hemsworth's look as
- 23:43dementus. So even Jenny Bevan was like,
- 23:47what is going on with this guy? Like everyone looks at him,
- 23:51they're just torn on what his motives are.
- 23:55Yeah, yeah, there were a lot of choices with this character.
- 23:59I think guru and dictator though is.
- 24:03Pretty good though that's. Pretty close.
- 24:05And the cult leader, like she got it, dementis is dictator.
- 24:09Like he's he's very full of himself, full of himself and has
- 24:13like a mystical energy. But definitely like I'm just
- 24:16gonna say, Elizabeth, I did not like dementis.
- 24:20Like I did not like Chris Hemsworth's performance of
- 24:22dementis. I typically keep it positive on
- 24:25this podcast, but I thought the first half of this movie with
- 24:28dementis was atrocious. I just could not.
- 24:34I can't disagree with you. I definitely thought it was an
- 24:43interesting choice story wise. I didn't fully understand what
- 24:47they were doing either. Like as time went on, 'cause I'm
- 24:52like something's wrong. When through the movie you feel
- 24:59like Immorton Joe's not that bad a guy after all.
- 25:05Like as things were going and Chris Hemsworth was just
- 25:09creating chaos for no reason. I was like and Morton, Joe,
- 25:14please go stop this man. Yeah, you're kind of rooting for
- 25:17the evil dictator that we've all hated for years to be like, OK,
- 25:20but if you could drive down the street and take care of this, we
- 25:23would all appreciate. It Yeah, yeah.
- 25:25I was just like, what? Yeah, I was very confused.
- 25:31I was very confused. I just felt like he was too much
- 25:35of like a cartoon character. He just didn't fit in this world
- 25:38for me. And again, it's not the costume.
- 25:40The costume is flawless. And I don't really know that was
- 25:43Chris Hemsworth's performance. I just feel like this character
- 25:46was just way too over the top and this is a over the top
- 25:49world. I don't know, it just wasn't
- 25:52working for me. But when he became older in the
- 25:56second-half of the film and his beard starting to Gray and I
- 26:00feel like his costumes were more worn and you could tell he's all
- 26:04haggard, that's when it started clicking for me actually.
- 26:07That's when I felt like, OK, this is this makes more sense.
- 26:11It felt like he blended back into the world.
- 26:14So maybe it's purposeful, actually, where maybe that is
- 26:18why he's so annoying to Martin Joe, because he doesn't fit in.
- 26:22So I don't know. Maybe I'm talking myself
- 26:24actually back on to dementis's side.
- 26:26I don't know. Yeah.
- 26:30I think we've said all we want to say about that, but you know,
- 26:35let's move on because we have Elizabeth's favorite characters
- 26:38to talk about Morton, Joe and Rictus and Scrotus.
- 26:44I so I forgot about his sons cause are they both in the first
- 26:49movie? I know rictus.
- 26:52Is. I know Rictus is Rictus is a guy
- 26:55that has like the weird kind of like chin piece on I.
- 26:58Really. I still.
- 26:59Can't tell what it is, almost looks like he has underwear on
- 27:02his face. He he's like the the announcer
- 27:05for his dad basically in this like everyone.
- 27:09Everyone starts grabbing it. Oh can I just tell you how I
- 27:12think I was very clear about this and our Fury Rd. episode we
- 27:17did like a year ago. I hate the people eater guide
- 27:21that's constantly touching his nipples.
- 27:23Oh my gosh, yes. I'm like, what is the Oh yeah,
- 27:26and. When I saw him back on the
- 27:28screen and I totally forgot about him, I was like damn it.
- 27:32Yes, and he is in this movie way more than he was in the second
- 27:35one. I.
- 27:36Know, And it's like, shame on us.
- 27:39We're not thinking about that. Obviously, he's gonna be in it.
- 27:43'Cause I think, I think in the second movie he, he runs Gas
- 27:45Town right in the second movie. He does something something of
- 27:51he runs one of the places I. Think he runs Gas Town which I
- 27:55mean this movie would tell why he wasn't running gas town at
- 27:59first. Yeah, he sucks.
- 28:04Yeah. But again, we see our favorite
- 28:10cast of really interesting characters, deformities and all
- 28:15and and breeding and all, and Jenny had a lot to say about
- 28:20these characters. She said.
- 28:22With a character like Rictus, it's just fun piling it on.
- 28:26But actually every single thing they're wearing is there to keep
- 28:29them alive. It's to do with breathing
- 28:31because none of them can breathe because it's so toxic there.
- 28:35They're all suffering from every single disease, and though
- 28:39Morton Joe's body is rotting so he wears a carpace to protect
- 28:43himself. It's not pure decoration,
- 28:46although it's got a slight gladiatorial sense to it or
- 28:48mixing metaphors all the time, but it is to do with survival.
- 28:53I love that quote and I think I said this when we talked about
- 28:56Free Rd. by Do Think in Morton Joe's costume is super sick.
- 29:00Oh yeah. In both ways, it's nasty and
- 29:03it's sick. Like it definitely makes him
- 29:06look like an imposing powerful figure, which like clearly like
- 29:11this guy would not look like otherwise.
- 29:14Like he is playing it up to his advantage in every single way
- 29:19that he can 'cause he doesn't have that much.
- 29:22Yeah, yeah. And I, I feel like Jenny Bevin
- 29:26and crew like actually kind of advance his costume a little bit
- 29:29'cause I don't remember it like breathing like that in the back.
- 29:32Or at least I don't know. It just felt like there was like
- 29:34even more detail in his costume this time around.
- 29:37Which was? Cool and exciting.
- 29:39Absolutely. 'Cause this time I was like kind
- 29:42of taken by watching him breathe and stuff.
- 29:45It just, yeah, it just feels toxic and gross and but just
- 29:49terrifying. He's a scary villain.
- 29:51So I actually would like to see in terms of like the world
- 29:54building. I would like to see a movie
- 29:56where it is about like the origin store of a warrant Joe.
- 29:59Like that has to be. Cool.
- 30:01That has to be amazing. Like, how did he get like this?
- 30:05And it's like he's so obsessed with having like a perfect son.
- 30:09Like, why? Why?
- 30:12Yeah, actually maybe take that back.
- 30:14I feel like that'd be a nasty origin story movie but.
- 30:16Yeah. Who knows?
- 30:19Who knows the. Interesting.
- 30:21If nothing else, we. Cut some parts of it out, but
- 30:27yeah. But also it was cool to kind of
- 30:30see some of these characters come back that we met.
- 30:32And for your town, like, you know, the farmers from the
- 30:37Bullet Farm or the people of Gastown.
- 30:40And Jenny Bevin talked about those places a little bit more,
- 30:44she said. So Gastown was very much based
- 30:47on those wonderful historical pictures in the 1920s of people
- 30:51covered in oil. I just looked endlessly at
- 30:54people in those situations where they do get absolutely covered
- 30:58head to foot in black, greasy, vicious oil.
- 31:01That's very unusual. And in Bullet Farm we decided it
- 31:04was more yellowy sulfury brown, the Bullet farmer brown with
- 31:08judge's wigs made out of bullets.
- 31:11So they had their own feel. Then those who work the pits,
- 31:16they're prescribed by those looks.
- 31:17We didn't have quite a uniform, but we definitely dyed, painted
- 31:21and did everything of those colors.
- 31:23The garments were as protective as they could be, but since
- 31:26these characters were the very poor is really a lot of rags.
- 31:31I love that. I always thought his like his
- 31:34like bullet wig I guess was like familiar looking but I couldn't
- 31:40quite figure it out. But yeah, it looks.
- 31:42It's a judge's wig made out of bullets.
- 31:45That's so cool. It's so funny to say that
- 31:47because when I put together these notes and I read judge's
- 31:51wigs, I was like, oh, that's what I've been trying to
- 31:54verbalized for the past, what, five years?
- 31:58It is like a judge's way. Yeah.
- 32:01It's so cool 'cause it has like, you know, the bullets are kind
- 32:04of round, so it's like they're like round.
- 32:06Locked. Yeah, it's really cool.
- 32:09I'm obsessed with it. He might be a new contender for
- 32:11one costume to rule them all after that.
- 32:14Good point, Good point. Then we get into the moment
- 32:18we're all waiting for, which is the very long action scene that
- 32:23takes place on the War rig where Furiosa is working alongside her
- 32:28new man Praetorian Jack, which they make a good couple.
- 32:33I know I was like girl how did you find the one good looking
- 32:37man and get him on your side like that was so cute.
- 32:46It was so cute. Yeah, it was.
- 32:49Those are my favorite scenes. I mean, that's always the best
- 32:52scenes of, you know, Mad Max, just like the war scenes.
- 32:55And it was cool seeing this war rig like so decked out and just
- 32:59like all the different compartments.
- 33:01And, and I love the like Praetorian uniform with the
- 33:06makeup and, you know, 'cause when we saw Fury Rd., I didn't
- 33:09realize it was kind of like a uniform with like the black.
- 33:12On the. Forehead and it was cool and you
- 33:16could just tell that I feel like the Praetorians are kind of like
- 33:20the fabled Knights of the Citadel.
- 33:23They have like the shoulder pauldron armor and you know,
- 33:27they're just like kind of decked out and they have their
- 33:29soldiers. So this is like Mad Max's
- 33:32version of the knight I would say.
- 33:35All right, so I actually just looked up the meaning of it,
- 33:38'cause I'm like, I know this has like historical significance.
- 33:43And the Praetorian Guard was an elite unit of the Imperial Roman
- 33:50Army that served as personal bodyguards and intelligence
- 33:56agents for the Roman Emperors. Oh, wow.
- 34:01OK, well, there you go. That tracks.
- 34:04Yeah, that tracks. These are Furiosa and Jack are
- 34:07like the elite guards that Morton Joe trusts the most.
- 34:13Especially like. Travel his cabbage.
- 34:15Yeah, especially with Jack cause like all the other like town
- 34:19leaders are like talking to him being like what's going on this
- 34:23get sent, send this message like, hey, this happened like so
- 34:27he's very much. Hey, what's going on with that
- 34:29Chris Hemsworth guy? Why is he always outside my
- 34:32walls yelling at me? What's going on here?
- 34:38Oh, he did do a lot. Of that, yeah.
- 34:41It's good to see the War Boys again, too.
- 34:43Yeah, I still would like they'll learn a little bit more about
- 34:46that culture too, but it's just cool to see them again.
- 34:49I also love the contrast because they like clearly and, and
- 34:53Morton Joe likes body paint. Yeah, 'cause like they, they're
- 34:58so vulnerable. They literally just have like a
- 35:00red handkerchief, some pants and boots and like body paint, which
- 35:06I guess is technically would kind of be like sunscreen for
- 35:08them in addition to like making them like.
- 35:13Separate. Look, separate from Yeah.
- 35:16And then in contrast to, you know, Furiosa and Jack the
- 35:20Praetorian, who have, you know, clearly the black across their
- 35:24foreheads, and they're decked out in, like, these leather
- 35:27jackets, like full, full body, like, they are protected.
- 35:34Yeah. And they're like, we, they're
- 35:36like, we are the important ones. Go, go fight.
- 35:40Yeah, say what you want about Martin Joe, but he does have
- 35:44style. And in terms of the way he
- 35:46rules, you know, he likes, he likes Chrome and silver and his
- 35:50weird ghosty skeleton guys and his elite guards.
- 35:54And, you know, he does have like a, he has like an aesthetic that
- 35:57he likes to stick to for his people, so.
- 36:00Yeah, Yeah, he does. If I were like a ruler or
- 36:04dictator, I feel like I would like to at least have a game
- 36:06plan for everyone's uniforms at the very least.
- 36:09I definitely if we ever became cause like my view on like
- 36:13leadership in this world is world dictator or nothing like I
- 36:18want all the power or none of it at all like don't I don't wanna
- 36:22be president No she. Doesn't wanna be PTA leader, she
- 36:26wants to be leader of the world or nothing.
- 36:29Yes. And I'm like, I feel like if I
- 36:33were to achieve that by some mystical means, I would create
- 36:39such an aesthetic court like. I would create an aesthetic that
- 36:49is so toxic. Yeah, probably.
- 36:58Like, I just feel like things would look really nice and
- 37:02really cool. So I appreciate a Morton Joe's
- 37:05attempts at that as well, 'cause clearly, like, look at the war
- 37:09rig, there's art on that thing it.
- 37:12Is it is nice? It is, yeah.
- 37:15I mean, clearly an artist is working on this war rig and they
- 37:18take great pride in this war rig.
- 37:20And it's clean. It is clean.
- 37:22It's. Sparkling.
- 37:25Yeah, well, if you and I ever become cult leaders, which we
- 37:29are not, we have said many times on this podcast, we definitely
- 37:32do not run an organized costume nerd cult.
- 37:37We would just have ideas. That's.
- 37:39All the world would look very nice.
- 37:43Well, we kind of talked about Furiosa a bit, but now we have
- 37:46to talk about Furiosa and full as she is the namesake of the
- 37:51film. And Anya Taylor Joy is
- 37:53absolutely fantastic in this film.
- 37:55I thought she was great and maybe that's because she didn't
- 37:58have any very many lines at all, which is fine because she really
- 38:01was giving giving a great performance.
- 38:05Jenny Bevin said Anya Taylor Joyce for you also only has a
- 38:08handful of looks and once she was settled in them, she was
- 38:12looked after by her wonderful customer, Fee Nichols.
- 38:15But she was a joy to work with. Her name is absolutely correct
- 38:18for her and she seemed to take to the character like a duck to
- 38:21water. As I've said before, George
- 38:24Miller is an auteur. It's his vision we are putting
- 38:27out there. I did a collage for Furioso and
- 38:30we put it on a stand to show him the work I've done and he loved
- 38:32it and Anya was very happy to wear what we came up with.
- 38:36I think boots we probably changed just to make her really
- 38:39comfortable and safe, but otherwise no.
- 38:41A lot of the time I have really in depth conversations about how
- 38:44the actors feel about the character and all the rest of
- 38:47it. But I think Furioso is quite
- 38:49prescriptive in a way. You know, she is what she is and
- 38:53Anya seems very happy to wear it.
- 38:54She was just lovely. So Jenny Beth Bevin was
- 38:58essentially like, look at her. Like, you know what's going on?
- 39:03Yeah. Definitely.
- 39:05And especially like she does go through like a bit of a
- 39:08transformation 'cause she spends years pretending to be a guy and
- 39:12like learning the mechanics of everything.
- 39:17But yeah, she definitely, like, she has her look and she sticks
- 39:21to it. Even like at the end when she
- 39:23turns into like, the Furiosa we know from the first movie, it's
- 39:28still like, yeah, I can see that.
- 39:31That was also like, still your style before everything
- 39:36happened. Yeah, I thought Furiosa was
- 39:39really cool. I love that.
- 39:41Like you just mentioned, she kind of has like this soft
- 39:44transition into the Charlize Theron infuriosa that's very
- 39:48subtle. You know, they didn't just like
- 39:50chop her arm off in the 1st 10 minutes and you know, give her
- 39:53goggles and whatnot. Sorry, and a flashback.
- 39:57So when her arm got messed up, I was honestly very happy.
- 40:01It was, I was very happy 'cause I was afraid they were gonna
- 40:04like, be really graphic and like, I felt like that was gonna
- 40:09be like a whole thing. And it was just like, no, her
- 40:12arm got caught out the window and.
- 40:15It got. Squished like it got squished
- 40:18and a story. Yeah.
- 40:20And then the Chris Hemsworth had it basically pulled off.
- 40:23Yeah, 'cause he had a tantrum. Yeah, he had a serious tantrum.
- 40:29Yeah, it was great. I liked that she was in that
- 40:31Praetorian armor that we were kind of talking about.
- 40:34And it just slowly kind of evolves into that Furiosa look.
- 40:37And then we see her put on the metal arm and it was just sick.
- 40:40I just. And that moment where you see
- 40:42her like, turn around on the bike and she's clearly like the
- 40:46Furious. So we know I had like an audible
- 40:48gasp in the theater. And it's like, that's her.
- 40:52Like she's here. Yeah, that was good.
- 40:55That was good. So Elizabeth, we do have to
- 40:59check back in on Dementis, though, because, you know, he
- 41:01was like you just mentioned he was up to some shenanigans.
- 41:05And I, like I said earlier, I thought Dementis actually got
- 41:08kind of cool by the end of the film when I felt like you kind
- 41:11of like gave up on that, like guru cult leader and just went
- 41:15like full maniac and everything was just very tired and dark
- 41:20about him. And I love that as cloak now has
- 41:22that like bloody red, kind of like dyeing it from that, you
- 41:27know, smoke bomb or whatever. It just made him look just like
- 41:31so scary. And then Furiosa chases him out
- 41:36into the desert and you see that, you know, band vest that
- 41:39we're talking about. And then that's when I just
- 41:41really felt like, by that point, just seeing how, like, dirty
- 41:45he's become, how grown out his beard is.
- 41:48And, you know, like, his cloak is just kind of like, a nuisance
- 41:52at this point. And you could just tell that,
- 41:54like, the desert has broken him and he's no longer at the top.
- 41:57And I feel like that shows in his costume.
- 41:59Oh, yeah. I love how his little.
- 42:01Bear has even also lost an arm and has a fake one.
- 42:05Yeah, Oh my God. I didn't notice that.
- 42:09I noticed that in the movie. I was like.
- 42:10Hey, it's missing an arm, just like Furiosa.
- 42:14I do like that. Like literally they just changed
- 42:16his top. But it gives like just a whole
- 42:19different vibe to his character, which is definitely more like
- 42:23crazy man who has lost it. Yeah, but then also.
- 42:28Like the band vest. Like it's kind of like a
- 42:30marching band. My Chemical Romance as the best
- 42:34and it's shout out to Black Parade.
- 42:38It's gives him like, I think this is what he needs to like he
- 42:41feels theatrical. Like, you know, this is a guy
- 42:43who has like a taste in the arts a little bit.
- 42:46And he's like, I am leading this.
- 42:47Group of people. Yeah, like he's the bandleader.
- 42:50And he, it's the costume is saying that without him being
- 42:53like over the top about it. And I think that's what works
- 42:56for me. Yeah, absolutely.
- 43:00But that leads us. To I think one of my favorite
- 43:02moments of the film. And Furiosa.
- 43:06Is chasing his ass down, doing what we all want to do at this
- 43:09point is bring an end to this man and she is playing 100%
- 43:14games with him and she somehow gets a hold of his cloak.
- 43:18I don't remember how, but there was a shot of it where it's kind
- 43:21of like darkly lit and you just see the hood over here.
- 43:26Elizabeth is the Darth Vader cloak.
- 43:28It is the Paula Tradies and the Sandworm moment.
- 43:31It is the moment that was like my favorite part and every one
- 43:34of these deserty films. Yes, it's just a.
- 43:37Cloaked person. In shadows, ready to end your
- 43:40life. I'm here to fuck shit up.
- 43:46When I saw. This I was, I almost texted you
- 43:48in the theater. I was like, Oh my God, it's
- 43:51here. It's so cool.
- 43:54It was. So cool and you're like.
- 43:56Yes, girl. Yes.
- 43:58You murder him. Yes.
- 44:00It's just this. Recycled parachute that has
- 44:03somehow survived throughout this entire film and it is so cool.
- 44:07Like I hope this piece of fabric somehow ends up in a museum
- 44:11somewhere and it just says like, you know, the mantis's cloak.
- 44:15And I would be so stoked. That would be amazing.
- 44:19Oh my, yeah. It's just, it's such a like, the
- 44:22silhouette it gives her for that moment is just so incredible.
- 44:27And the way the red has just soaked into all of it, it's
- 44:32like, yeah, yes. It's.
- 44:35Kind of doing. Like a metaphor about, like,
- 44:37blood, you know, it's like blood on his hands.
- 44:40And now it's like the blood on her hand.
- 44:43You know, she's just out for. She's out for payback.
- 44:47I love that. There's no part of this where
- 44:49it's like, oh, no. Like, you know, you're gonna
- 44:52hate the way you feel about yourself when you end him.
- 44:53She's like, no, no, I'm taking this man down tonight.
- 44:57I watched this man torture. My mother and my boyfriend to
- 45:00death. This is This is the end, yeah.
- 45:03And also there's no good in. This world at this point.
- 45:05So what am I gonna do? Like he literally like Tore.
- 45:09A person apart in front of her as a child.
- 45:12Yeah, that part. Was hard to watch that.
- 45:15Was hard to watch the. George Miller knows how to make
- 45:18you like Con. close both your eyes and stare into your popcorn
- 45:21bucket. Yeah, I was like, oh.
- 45:25Starting with the nipple man. But I we didn't mention that I
- 45:30loved young Furiosa's like, mask she was wearing in her little
- 45:34prison cell. That was kind of cool.
- 45:36And fashion. Y Absolutely.
- 45:39And I'm like, this girl's not talking.
- 45:41Why are you, like, putting anything over her mouth to begin
- 45:45with? But then I'm like, he's just
- 45:46kind of crazy. So like, whatever.
- 45:49Although did she bite somebody? She might have bitten somebody.
- 45:52Oh, I feel. Like she might have did
- 45:54actually. So I guess it just muzzled her.
- 45:57I don't know it, it was obviously very mean of you guys,
- 46:01but from a fashion point of view, I was like, kind of like
- 46:05it. Yeah.
- 46:06Yeah. With that Elizabeth, that is
- 46:10Furiosa. Oh man.
- 46:14I I feel exhausted. And sweaty like I've been out in
- 46:17the dunes. What a film, what a.
- 46:20Film. What a film so.
- 46:22Like, should we start rating films?
- 46:25How many five stars? Or maybe we should give it like
- 46:27a costume theme, like how many bobbins out of five would you
- 46:32give it? Bobbins I.
- 46:34Don't know like. Spools of thread?
- 46:38How many stitches? Sure.
- 46:42But stitches? Good.
- 46:43Five stitches would be perfect. Zero stitches would mean it's
- 46:47falling apart, you know? OK, Yeah.
- 46:51Yeah, yeah. OK.
- 46:55I'd give it three stitches. That's what I was going to say.
- 46:58Three stitches it it it needed a couple.
- 47:00Extra and maybe like a button to tie it off I think What?
- 47:05I, I felt like they lacked and maybe like story and or I was
- 47:11kind of, I thought the score was kind of weird too, or lack
- 47:14thereof of a good score. I think they, like we said at
- 47:18the very beginning, the first thing we said, George Miller
- 47:21always has killer visuals. So I mean visuals and Furiosa
- 47:26herself as I mean it has to be at least three, three nice
- 47:31strong stitches that will keep your garment basically together.
- 47:35Just don't do too much action in it.
- 47:36Exactly like I. Story points like when she
- 47:41escapes from like the harem as a child I'm like no one was
- 47:45looking for her like. Yeah, like there, there were.
- 47:52Some things I was just a little like, huh, well, I thought it
- 47:56was weird. When she returned back, as you
- 47:59know, the Praetorian and no one was like, hey, remember when I
- 48:04lost my wife, quote UN quote like 10 years ago?
- 48:08Yeah. Where did this?
- 48:10Beautiful woman come from like I wanna hear.
- 48:14Like, I wanted the conversation between Jack and Morton Joe as
- 48:18to why Jack should have been allowed to keep her.
- 48:22Yeah, as. A Praetorian.
- 48:25Because she's clearly still very attractive.
- 48:29Like something happened here like.
- 48:31Someone that was the oversight. I don't know what was what was
- 48:35going on here, but I guess security is not very bright
- 48:38around here if we're being honest.
- 48:40But I mean. Look how she got away as a child
- 48:43in the 1st place. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 48:50That that was. Another thing I could have done
- 48:51without, but I'm like, where was the search for her?
- 48:55Like where was the conversation when like clearly Jack brings
- 49:01back this woman. Like hey gonna train this new
- 49:05person that I just found. Yeah, if I was some orange, oh,
- 49:10I'd be like. What?
- 49:12No, put her back. Stop defending Morton, Joe.
- 49:19Why? I am so OK, That's the thing.
- 49:21That honestly, that's the reason it doesn't have four stitches,
- 49:25is because it made me think about Immorton Joe, who is a
- 49:33despicable, disgusting character.
- 49:36After this you and I need to go. Watch Fury Road and get the good
- 49:39taste out of our mouths. I know.
- 49:43So I'm like, that was our reason.
- 49:44I didn't. Like him?
- 49:46Oh, he's horrible. He's.
- 49:47So bad even in this. Movie, he's not great, but like
- 49:52compared to everything else that's happening, you're like.
- 49:56I don't know. Well, with all.
- 49:59That we're going to take a break so we could come back and play
- 50:02our favorite game. So gas up your dirt bikes and
- 50:06think of your one costume because it's going to be a very
- 50:10bumpy ride. Hi, this is Dan.

- 51:14Elizabeth, did you gas up your motorcycle?
- 51:17Oh, I did. I found.
- 51:18An extra 1 along the way too. Yeah, me too, and mine happened.
- 51:25They come with a really cool helmet, by the way, which is
- 51:27cool. Did it have some like little
- 51:28spiky? Horns on it had spiky.
- 51:31Horns and also some human teeth, which was pretty cool.
- 51:35Oh, nice, nice. Are.
- 51:37You ready to play our favorite game?
- 51:39Oh, I am. Hit it, Daniel, the one costume.
- 51:44To rule them all. Spencer was.
- 51:51Your one costume to rule them all.
- 51:54Mine was. Easy.
- 51:56I even think I even like said out loud in the theater.
- 51:59I was like Yep, that's it. It was the moment when we saw
- 52:02Furiosa and when she's wearing dementis cloak ready to end his
- 52:07life. She just looked so badass and I
- 52:10just really love a silhouette of someone being darkly lit in a
- 52:14cloak just, you know, with the desert behind them or something
- 52:18big behind them. That's just like walking in slow
- 52:21MO. I I lived for that moment.
- 52:23So that had to be my one costume ruled them all.
- 52:27I totally. See that for you.
- 52:29That makes a lot of sense. Yeah, I think that's definitely
- 52:34like, I feel like that's gonna be like an iconic look from this
- 52:41is that silhouette, that Cape of hers?
- 52:46Absolutely. And what about for you?
- 52:50You seem like you're still contemplating I OK.
- 52:56It's very, it's so hard, it's so hard, 'cause as you're going to
- 53:01the end, I realized we forgot to talk about someone whose costume
- 53:06I loved in the theater. So I'm actually I am going to
- 53:10change my one costume to rule them all, OK?
- 53:15I thought about it. I.
- 53:16Went back and forth. First it was gonna be Furious's
- 53:19mother, but I kept thinking of this character all throughout
- 53:23the movie. And then now as we are going
- 53:26through this, I cannot believe we forgot about the history man.
- 53:32Oh. Yeah, who was?
- 53:35One of my favorite characters cause talk about a guy just
- 53:38trying to like live his life and preserve what little like
- 53:44knowledge of humanity is left in the world.
- 53:48Oh man, he's doing. His best, He really is doing his
- 53:52best. And I'm like, what a good use of
- 53:55clothing to record human history.
- 53:59Basically. He is literally like a living
- 54:03document from his skin to his clothing about the world that
- 54:09was, and probably like some of the stuff that has happened to
- 54:12them on the road. So he can be just a vessel of
- 54:17knowledge to whoever he comes across.
- 54:20And I, I really love that. Yeah.
- 54:22I actually I. Did forget about that character,
- 54:25but you have such a good point. He really was like almost like a
- 54:28computer honestly. He was just like a walking piece
- 54:31of information. I'd be curious to read what that
- 54:34information is. I have a feeling it you could
- 54:38only fit so much on there, but he's clearly trying his hardest.
- 54:43He's trying his. Hardest and he's.
- 54:45Constantly with his little tattoo gun and yeah, no, you
- 54:48have a good point. It was a really great costume,
- 54:50and I love that he was able to, like, keep it in good condition
- 54:54to a point. And with all the things we've
- 54:57said about the mentis, he did, like, try to keep this man
- 55:01around, too. Just, you know, everyone has
- 55:04respect for the history man. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
- 55:08One purpose and it's to not. Lose sight of history.
- 55:11So if you hurt this guy, then you're erasing history, which,
- 55:15you know, I'm sure some people don't care about in this world,
- 55:18but some people do. Yeah.
- 55:20Yeah. Well, Elizabeth, that.
- 55:23Was a good choice. And I also like your honorable
- 55:26mention and I actually do feel a little bit better about this
- 55:30movie now that we've talked about it, which is actually
- 55:33seems to be what happens every time we watch something that
- 55:36we're kind of iffy about. I'm still sticking with the
- 55:39three, three stitches out of five.
- 55:41This is a solid 3 stitch movie. Yeah.
