Welcome to another episode of Pop Culture Junkie. I'm Nicole here with my fellow junkies.
0:33
Olivia and Shauna. And we're kind of hanging out today. I don't want to ask you guys a random
0:42
question I'm sitting on right now. I don't know why I popped into my head. The answer is yes.
0:46
Oh, that's not even an option. Naked. Okay. So that could be an answer.
0:52
With peanut butter. Yeah, yeah, give us. So summer is right around the corner. I know. And I'm
1:02
very excited even though it's going to be extremely hot and we're going to be sweating our
1:07
butts off. But that's okay. 50. Yeah. Everybody come to Arizona. Yeah. We're helping tourism.
1:15
I feel like a lot of good things come out in the summer. Is there something that you're excited
1:22
for this summer? Like a concert, a movie, in your case, Olivia, a book that is possibly coming out
1:30
that you're thinking of. Actually, so last year I was asked to go on about like 20 trips. And I
1:39
in my mind went, yeah, I can go to that. And so from now until summer, I am traveling like every
1:46
other weekend. So I think that that's just my general excitement for it. But I think for me,
1:53
I think of summer in Arizona as like my hyper nation season. So I either want to get out of Arizona
2:01
because it's so hot or during the daytime, like I will not leave my 70 degree apartment.
2:06
And that's yes. That's peace. Yes. Finding my peace. I think summer is my favorite season because it
2:14
just reminds me of like summer vacation so much as a kid. And so it all just feels nostalgic to
2:19
me like the smell of suntan lotion sunscreen. Like just invokes those memories. I just I'm craving a
2:27
pool party. I want to be by a pool with a drink in my hand and just lounging without a care in the
2:33
world. So right now we live in a place where it's 80 degrees. It was kind of chilly this week though.
2:40
But the summer just doesn't even vibe. Yeah. I don't know. Like the key trope vibe. That's why in between
2:46
every alcohol like adult beverage you have water. Exactly. But by then like by the like whenever you're
2:54
almost done like it's evaporated already. That's why I just got to like 9 AM. Yeah. I'm not a
3:00
morning person. So I'm like I'm a spring Tanner for a reason. Like I go tanning right now because
3:06
if I don't like being hot and I live in the wrong place. You don't like being hot but you're doing
3:11
such a good shot. She gave me the sexy. Yep. I mean pop culture wise. You know I don't have any
3:21
shows coming up in the next couple months. I can drag in. What do you mean? No, I'm at like
3:26
concert. It's like shows. Yes. The drag has the dragon's coming in. They release the house black
3:32
trailer in the house green trailer. That's the only right answer. Yeah. And then Wolverine versus
3:39
Deadpool comes out in July, which I'm very excited. I tell her what that's a dazzler. I'm gonna I am
3:47
okay with Taylor Swift as the dazzler because the dazzler is a singer. She's a performer. Yeah.
3:53
Pop star. Exactly. But also they announced the Wolverine Deadpool like, like, love is wrong. But yeah.
4:02
I'm gonna make a bit influencer with friendship bracelets though. Yeah. Which is very very
4:08
tailored coded. If you know anything. So I'm like is that's cute. And then they all went to the
4:14
the chiefs game together. I mean, Blake Lively who is Ryan Reynolds aka Deadpool's wife.
4:22
It's best friends with Taylor. Yeah. So I could totally say that. I hope so. I hope so. But I'm excited
4:27
for Deadpool and Wolverine because Wolverine and Deadpool. I honestly don't remember which one of
4:32
them is first on the credit. And I'm sure that Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds would be fighting for
4:38
whoever goes first. But it's gonna be Deadpool's introduction into the MCU. So finally we get to see
4:45
Deadpool come over to the MCU and hopefully interact with some of our favorites eventually.
4:51
X-Men's getting some love lately. I love X-Men dude. I love the X-Men. I have cosplayed as X-Men
4:58
characters in the past. Magic. My girl. I don't know if they them slowly bringing mutants into the
5:05
MCU. I'm so here for it was my first introduction to Anna Pacquim and I love her. Yeah. Right. She's
5:11
wonderful. Yeah. Yeah. Besides being drunk and hot at a pool and just lounging and listening to
5:20
the Calvin Harris. I'm gonna be watching some Marvel movies. Love that. What about you Nicole?
5:25
What are you excited for? Are you going anywhere cool? I feel like I'm the same as you Olivia. I'm
5:30
excited to travel. I'm gonna use my flight benefits as much as I can. Love that. I... It's a baby.
5:38
I don't know when this is coming out so I might have already gone or I might be on it. I'm going
5:42
on a cruise. I'm so excited for you. Love your bit on a cruise before. I haven't. Oh really? You're
5:48
in a lot. Super excited. Super nervous. Are you good on both? Yeah. Okay. I mean I'm going on
5:54
on our own planes and boats are two different things but I don't get motion sickness. Don't... It's
6:00
going to be windy. Yeah. And don't do the jack and rose on the front of the ship as much as you
6:06
want to. You will all off the die. I mean, get more motion sickness medicine. Yeah. Stock with the
6:13
dry. I mean, yes. Stock with the dry. I mean, it's a 17 day cruise. 17 days. That's going to be cool.
6:19
We're going so cool. Oh my gosh. We port out of Sydney, Australia. What? You have to fly to Australia.
6:27
I have to fly to Australia. I'm going to Australia. That's so cool. That's a long flight. Yeah,
6:31
it's like 15, 16 hours but that's okay. It'll be worth it. And then we go to New Zealand and then we
6:37
go to the French Polynesian Islands. Oh my gosh. And then we end in Hawaii. Oh. Yeah. So that's amazing.
6:43
Super. We're excited. If it's a good cruise, you have to send me the deets. I've been wanting to do
6:48
it. It's good. Royal Caribbean. So I know it's a decent cruise line. Yeah. And then in the summer,
6:55
I'm hoping that I'm going to the British Virgin Islands. Oh, look at you. Yes. That's amazing.
7:03
That's a whole point to be on flight attendants. I'm hoping to go wherever I want. Yeah. Yes.
7:08
I've just never said what airline I was for. We're just out of here. I mean, if you go on my
7:14
Instagram, it's obviously all of our listeners are listening to you on our follow you on Instagram.
7:21
But yes, so I'm excited to travel. I'm going never been international before. So that'll be my
7:27
first time. I'll get my passport stamped. Oh, that's amazing. Wow. You're going to have so much fun.
7:32
Would you ever do like an international flight attendant route?
7:36
If my airline went international, I would love to, but I'm so new to the company that I would never
7:43
hold that kind of trip. Interesting. But I would love to. Yeah. I love my international flight. I've
7:49
flown international. I mean, just a couple times like Japan. But we flew. What was it? Singapore?
7:56
Yeah, Singapore Air. And that was the most comfortable flight I've ever been on in my life.
8:01
They bring you like hot towels with full meals like Japanese meals. It was exquisite. Like
8:09
blankies and TVs in front of us. Yeah. I haven't even bought my ticket for Sydney. We're just
8:14
non-reving, which is basically show up to the airport and hope that there's a seat for you.
8:18
Yeah. So we're just not because we don't want to pay for it. Are you going to like hang out in Sydney
8:23
for a little while before you get on the boat? That's a great question. I don't know what time we land.
8:27
We'll have. So I'm flying from Phoenix to LAX. We'll have about 12 hours in LAX before we have to
8:33
board our flight for Sydney. By the time we land in Sydney, I'm not sure how much time we'll have in Sydney.
8:38
But another cool fun fact is I'm going to pass the international date line. Which I'm super excited
8:44
about. I think that's going to be super cool. I'm going to live one day twice. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah.
8:49
Well, y'all just let us know how it all goes. I'm excited for you. I won't have Wi-Fi though.
8:55
So I'm going to be disconnected from the world for 17 days, which I'm actually really excited about.
8:59
That's amazing. I was on my cruise. I was 16 with my rich aunt, no gold shadow.
9:06
I had this boyfriend. And we were on the end of the world. Oh my god. He thought he was going to
9:16
like it was this one. He made the scrapbook. And so I went on this cruise and I was only gone for like a
9:22
week. And you would have thought that I just had to do the scrapbook. Have I talked about this
9:28
scrapbook on this block? This episode is just going to be us shooting the shit. I'm okay with it.
9:35
Okay. I forget the rest of it. I'm going to do it. No, this is the funniest story. This is one of the
9:41
promise ring candidates. Right? Yes. This is one of the promise ring. So this is my like, I was 16. I
9:49
went on this cruise. You're on a nightclub. You're on a cruise. And there's like a teenage nightclub
9:54
for everyone who's under 18 and can't drink. So you were in the teenage nightclub. And this is like
9:59
from the time when I was like from the window. I can imagine just parting it up in there.
10:05
We were just free. Oh my god. And I had a boyfriend back at home, but I didn't have any Wi-Fi,
10:11
which is what reminded me of this. So I couldn't text him or call him or anything. And it was amazing.
10:16
Okay. No, that's not the part of the story we wanted. I'm in this nightclub and I'm having a great
10:20
time and the whole time. I'm like, dang, this, this rock. Because I look at these cute boys.
10:25
I get home. And I hang out with my boyfriend. And he goes, I made she something while you were gone.
10:34
And it's this binder. Oh geez. And it says on the front, well, you were gone. And I go for it.
10:40
And it's seven days, right? You were gone seven days seven days. Oh my goodness.
10:46
In the front page of the first page, it's like, you missed a lot while you were gone, Shana. I need to
10:51
fill you in on some of the things. And the first one goes, we graduated from high school. Congratulations.
10:56
And he had a fake high school diploma for me and a fake one for him. And then the next page,
11:00
I turn and he goes, by the way, we got married. And it has a fake wedding certificate.
11:06
Geez. He had a picture of a writing group and edited our faces on them. Oh my god.
11:13
I turn and he goes, and we had a baby. Oh my god.
11:19
That's like, every word. What was the baby's name? I don't even remember something stupid
11:25
and from the Bible. I'm sure I don't know. Baby Paul. Oh my god.
11:33
And the last page she turns and he goes, do not ever leave me again. I cannot be without you.
11:41
You cannot leave me for this long ever again. I love you so much. You can't do this to me ever again.
11:47
And as I'm going through these pages, I was like, how long were you together at this point?
11:52
It's like a year, maybe 11 months. No, the funnier.
11:57
I'm going through it. I'm just thinking, I'm good. I'm thinking all those boys. I freaked out.
12:04
No, the funny thing is, I don't like a couple.
12:09
I'm telling you this story. I'm telling you this story.
12:12
And they were really good friends. Stephanie is sitting there and Stephanie is like, yeah.
12:18
He told me he was going to make this. She was at home.
12:20
Well, they were both on vacation and she goes, yeah, he said he was going to make it for her.
12:25
And I told him we should do it. Somebody's like, I encourage him the whole time because I wanted to,
12:30
because you guys were shitty together. That's so fun. I just wanted to see how unhinged she is.
12:36
She's just back in like, you know what I mean? That's me and the more certificate.
12:39
Luckily, I'm going on this cruise with my boyfriend. So I will not be coming home to a scrapbook.
12:46
Oh my god. If he becomes unhinged, she never makes you a scrapbook.
12:50
I will be with, I've never been with him for this song. So he's going to be a test.
12:53
Oh, traveling, traveling with someone makes you know the most about that.
12:57
I totally agree. We just went on a little road trip. So that was pretty nice.
13:00
That was good. Yeah. Yeah. When you, especially when you're like international with somebody,
13:04
it's like, it's with his family. So him and I, I'm really, we're not really close.
13:08
We've only been dating for six months. But I love his mom. So that'll be good.
13:12
For now, we'll just gang up on him if we have to. And his Nana as they should.
13:15
Oh, Nana. Nana on the cruise. Yeah. Yeah.
13:19
In Australia, down under down under. What was your on the bar?
13:23
The bar. The bar. Vade down under. How does your Australian accent also sound trans like to.
13:29
Cause everything sounds like this.
13:31
Trimp on the bar. Yeah.
13:32
I like all of us. God, please subscribe.
13:38
I also dated a guy who is from Australia. And he would say,
13:42
aluminum instead of aluminum aluminum foil. And it was adorable. I only dated him and slept
13:49
with him for his accent. I would totally do that. I'd be like, yeah, say something.
13:53
Yeah. Australian accent. He's like, cool.
13:55
A bad cool. A bad you stupid. You stupid American bitch.
14:01
Yes, I love you. He called me as little American son devil.
14:07
God. All the bad. I need a million foot. I think this is the longest you've actually held one accent.
14:13
And thank you. All of our friends should be on the bobby. Your accent reminds me of
14:17
the one. Brush your own commercial for this.
14:21
The album. Yes. The backstake. Get your blooming onion.
14:25
Yeah. That's not a subtle. I don't know if that one sounded very ass-loom.
14:30
That sounded like Scottish. That's not a word.
14:37
And you're easily I'm so sorry.
14:41
Yeah. There's God and Australian readings are going to go through the room.
14:45
She does it for you. Let us know.
14:49
No, I'll start to Scotland or Australia.
14:53
I think we're doing amazing.
14:56
Let's actually talk about pop culture for like a minute.
15:00
Real quick. Real quick.
15:03
Real quick.
15:04
All right.
15:05
Not that we've talked about absolutely nothing to do with pop culture.
15:11
I guess we could have brought in Gordon Ramsay with the Australian accent.
15:14
All right. He's British.
15:15
He's British.
15:17
British.
15:17
We can talk about Chris Hemsworth.
15:21
Yes.
15:21
Yeah.
15:22
We're Nicole Kidman.
15:23
What do I feel? It's good to place like this in the call.
15:26
Anyway, she had an accent.
15:28
All right. We're just going to roll with it.
15:30
Love it.
15:31
I don't know my accent.
15:33
We're just rolling to let's go.
15:36
Let's go.
15:36
Anyway, I really don't know how to transition.
15:39
I would just say it.
15:41
That's all right. We're just going to talk.
15:43
We're going to talk about what we're going to talk about this week,
15:45
which is movie sets.
15:47
Yes. And if you could be, I'm just going to go right into the next.
15:51
Let's get it done in over with.
15:52
If you could be on any movie set of any movie that ever, ever came out,
16:03
what movie set would you choose and why?
16:04
Okay. I'm going to go first.
16:06
We pull up my history.
16:09
So I've been telling my husband this for years that the most iconic,
16:14
okay, let me back up a little bit.
16:16
I love a good golf nightclub, right?
16:19
We went to the golf nightclub and tapped us together for my birthday.
16:22
Really?
16:22
Any?
16:23
Oh, shout out, Alicia.
16:24
Anytime I can be in plethora and just in there's,
16:27
but not like, like night, I don't know.
16:31
Golf clubs are so different than like a Scottsdale club.
16:34
Like everyone's kind of dancing to themselves and there's like,
16:38
it's a lot of hands.
16:39
There's a lot of hands and like, and there's not any man,
16:43
like in the teenage nightclub trying to grind on you with his pelvis.
16:46
There's just, you danced to yourself. There's golf music playing.
16:49
The best golf nightclub scene in my opinion is from Blade.
16:55
So Blade is a movie from 1998, which coming back to Marvel,
17:00
is based on a Marvel comic book.
17:02
Blade is half human, half vampire.
17:06
He's a vampire hunter.
17:08
Wesley Snifes starred in the Blade movie series and they're actually going to be
17:13
remaking Blade in the MCU in the next few years, supposedly.
17:16
But the original Blade movie opens with a blood rave.
17:20
So it's all of these people in a techno nightclub
17:25
and they are dancing to pump panels, techno remax,
17:30
Ray Maxx, and that Ray Maxx of Confusion by New Order.
17:36
So all these people are dancing.
17:39
We're not sure if they're humans, they're vampires,
17:41
whatever is going on. It's just, it's people just dancing.
17:44
And it's in a meatpacking warehouse behind the scenes.
17:48
So golf.
17:49
It's so golf.
17:50
It's so golf.
17:51
So golf.
17:52
And so that's where they filmed this scene.
17:54
And then eventually blood starts squirting out from like the water,
17:59
what we call a sprinkler system.
18:02
And it turns into a blood rave or a blood bath, I suppose.
18:07
And so everyone's just being covered in sticky red blood and still dancing their hearts out.
18:13
And it's so sexy.
18:14
And then come to find out people in the crowd are vampires.
18:19
And there's also some humans that are in there.
18:20
And they're screaming for the lives and the vampires,
18:23
things are coming out and they're starting to beat.
18:25
And it's just magic.
18:28
And the first time I watched that with my husband, I was like,
18:31
I want to be there.
18:33
I want to jump into this movie.
18:35
I want to be there.
18:36
I don't care if I'm not a vampire.
18:38
Let them sigh or maybe I want to be at a techno goth blood rave in the 90s.
18:43
Yeah.
18:43
That's amazing.
18:44
Would you be, I guess there's a bunch of different vampire universes.
18:48
Like if you could be a vampire in any of the universes,
18:52
which vampire would it be?
18:53
Twilight.
18:54
Twilight.
18:55
You do?
18:56
Twilight.
18:57
Okay.
18:57
Okay.
18:57
I'd be true blood.
18:59
First of all, 500%.
19:00
I don't.
19:02
I hate Twilight.
19:04
We've all those.
19:05
Discuss this.
19:06
I don't care.
19:07
It's wonderful.
19:08
It's terrible.
19:09
Yeah.
19:09
Because they get to be glittery.
19:11
So you want to be a little sparkle fairy.
19:14
I want to be a little sparkle, but I still want to drink blood.
19:17
Vampires and Twilight are actually fair.
19:19
Oh, that's right.
19:21
I never finished.
19:22
No, in Twilight.
19:24
Or I'm sorry.
19:25
I never finished triple.
19:26
Oh, well, are they fairy?
19:28
No.
19:28
I thought they were fairies.
19:29
Oh, no, the world is fair.
19:31
In Twilight, Edward and Bella are really fairies.
19:34
What?
19:35
Yeah.
19:35
I thought they were fairies and true blood.
19:37
No, what's a fair?
19:37
There are fairies and true blood.
19:39
No, the vampires are.
19:41
Yes.
19:41
Wait.
19:41
Oh, no.
19:42
What was the fair?
19:43
No, you never knew that.
19:44
Stephanie Meyer talks about that.
19:45
They're actually fairies.
19:46
I did not know that.
19:47
Yeah.
19:48
Very interesting.
19:48
It all comes back to the thing.
19:49
Squirrel.
19:50
Squirrel.
19:50
No, I wouldn't.
19:51
I want to be able to go out in the sunshine
19:53
because my serotonin's live in the sunshine.
19:55
Okay.
19:55
As we discuss, I want to be drunk by a pool.
19:58
Yeah, you can't do that.
19:59
If I'm in the Twilight Universe,
20:00
I can be drunk by a pool.
20:02
A little disco ball.
20:03
I'll be your little disco ball.
20:04
Thank you.
20:04
I love that.
20:05
We would all love that.
20:06
We would all hang out with me even more than we do now.
20:08
Shine bright.
20:08
Like a diamond.
20:09
Shine bright.
20:10
Like a dye.
20:10
Shine bright.
20:11
Like a diamond.
20:12
Don't do it.
20:13
So.
20:15
All right.
20:16
When they were making this movie,
20:19
the blood was a mixture of corn syrup and like red food dye.
20:26
Can you imagine getting that in your eye?
20:28
Apparently it was not pleasant for the extras
20:31
as much as I'm like, I want to be on this movie set.
20:33
It's a they had to be covered in this sticky fake blood for hours.
20:38
It's just quagulating.
20:40
I don't want quagulating.
20:42
Quagulating.
20:43
We were saying it was.
20:45
The production designer said that we search for a location forever.
20:51
We found ended up finding a rundown meat packing factory
20:55
where they come in and slaughter animals literally.
20:58
There was a lot of white tile and we aged
21:00
a little bit gave it some cool lighting.
21:02
Then we rigged the entire set like you would a modern day sprinkler system.
21:06
So I don't care.
21:09
Cover me in blood for hours.
21:10
I'll do it.
21:11
I want to go to the blade and nightclub scene.
21:13
What about you Nicole?
21:20
What movie set would you choose to visit?
21:22
For me, this was hard because I was thinking more so of
21:26
location-wise, the destination.
21:29
The one I came in conclusion to was the movie blended with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.
21:35
If you've seen it, it was set in Georgia.
21:39
I believe was the location in the US, but they actually did go ahead and travel to South Africa.
21:45
They stayed at a resort at South Africa's lost city,
21:50
Resort Sun City, and the destination location was absolutely gorgeous.
21:57
That's like their one-year bucket list spots.
22:00
Yes, I would love to go to South Africa.
22:02
I think it would be incredible to see the culture,
22:05
the animals that live there and just to learn about,
22:08
again, their culture, just the food and the ocean.
22:12
Just the resort that they were at too, I think would be incredible.
22:17
It's a luxury, obviously.
22:19
And they got to actually go to this luxury resort and film this.
22:21
And Mule Spina is right.
22:23
And Mule being an air-drew Barrymore.
22:25
So, what Mordea Union?
22:27
I know Adam Sandler is there too, but I love both of them.
22:31
Bella Thorne's on the set too.
22:33
Oh, she's a chaotic mess and I love her.
22:37
It was before her chaotic days.
22:40
I want to say she was either.
22:42
She had to be a teenager.
22:43
It was 2014.
22:45
So, she's such a hot redhead.
22:49
If I could go attractive to that resort and not have any teenagers though.
22:53
Oh, I love, oh my god, Joel McHale.
22:56
Shack, I think was there.
22:57
I'll take Bella, you can have Joel McHale.
22:59
I'm sorry.
22:59
Joel McHale do awful things to me.
23:01
Is that a pretty good cast?
23:04
So, I would love it.
23:05
They go to hooters sometimes.
23:07
I'm like, I could eat some wings.
23:08
Oh, she's got pickles on the beach.
23:10
Yeah, I'm so proud of her.
23:12
So proud.
23:13
We can make gluten-free fry pickles that we can.
23:15
Let's try to do it.
23:15
I know how to.
23:16
It says, it's for time.
23:17
Yeah.
23:18
I'm trying to make French again.
23:19
Mm.
23:20
Yeah.
23:21
We're so hungry.
23:22
Why are we so hungry this episode?
23:24
But it says, a trip to South Africa's lost city presents visitors
23:27
with an incredible array of attractions such as golf courses,
23:30
crocodile pools, water parks, and magnificent gardens,
23:34
all of which can be explored within the complex resort grounds.
23:37
Crocodile pools?
23:38
Yeah, I'm out.
23:38
Influently.
23:40
High-ecky.
23:40
Fishing.
23:42
You could do a romantic picnic and get away.
23:46
And they even did this thing where they, I forget what it, they sky,
23:52
I can't think of that.
23:53
Skydive.
23:54
That's kind of dive.
23:55
They were up.
23:55
A bunch of you.
23:56
They were up in the air on like a kite.
23:58
Not on a kite, but a pair of gov.
24:00
Yeah, thank you.
24:01
Oh, oh, I know this one.
24:04
They did a safari.
24:05
So they just did so many cool things that I would love,
24:08
love, love to do in South Africa.
24:10
Spoiler alert, do they end up together in the end of this movie?
24:12
They do.
24:13
Obviously.
24:13
Yeah.
24:14
But this does have a really, really good cast too that I would love
24:17
taking out one thing to get to know.
24:18
I'm trying to figure out.
24:21
Jill McCale, I said Shaq, but it's not Shaq.
24:23
Oh my gosh.
24:24
It's the one guy who could like do his pecs.
24:27
Oh, Terry Cruz.
24:28
Oh, I would also let Terry Cruz do terrible things to me.
24:31
Yes.
24:32
Terry Cruz, we have Kevin Neilson.
24:36
He's funny.
24:39
He's Adam Sandler go to.
24:40
Adam Sandler's wife, I mean, I would love to talk to her.
24:43
I think she'd be cool.
24:44
I mean, he's she's in every movie.
24:47
So she always makes a little appearance somewhere.
24:51
Okay, me.
24:51
Oh, Shaq is in this actually.
24:53
I'm talking about where he's at.
24:54
That is.
24:55
Oh, he's because Adam Sandler is a
24:59
exporting goods employee.
25:01
So Shaq is a exporting goods employee as well.
25:04
So that's where he comes in.
25:05
I was in Milwaukee once and it was like the final four
25:10
and it was in Milwaukee and Shaq was staying at the hotel we were at.
25:13
Did you see Shaq?
25:14
I saw him and I went a little shake.
25:16
A little tingle.
25:17
That's so funny.
25:18
Did you see you do that?
25:20
Did he acknowledge you?
25:22
Yeah, because we were walking past each other on it.
25:24
No, I'm not funny.
25:25
That's funny.
25:26
But like, I don't want to be like,
25:27
can I, I don't like to stop to celebrity to be like,
25:30
can I take a picture with you like?
25:31
Yeah, you just want me to stop.
25:32
You just want me to stop me and ask me for my autograph.
25:34
I'm like, I'm just trying to enjoy my dream.
25:37
I'm just like you.
25:38
I'm just going.
25:40
I like when I saw Billy Porter when I was in Miami.
25:43
Like I didn't want to bug him.
25:44
Like he's like on a one-on-one day.
25:46
So I just like sent him a drink and was like, I love you.
25:49
And like, I was just like just send him this drink and then he came over
25:52
and like came and talked to him after that.
25:54
That's my move.
25:56
It was a new celebrity.
25:57
A send him a drink.
25:58
A send him a drink.
25:59
It was from Queer Eye.
26:00
Yeah, but we were shopping.
26:02
Yeah.
26:03
Our auntie.
26:04
Auntie, we just awkwardly were like,
26:06
auntie, auntie, auntie.
26:07
That's so cool.
26:08
But that's my move and it's a good one because I will drink.
26:11
Buy them a drink, send it to them, like expect nothing.
26:14
And a lot of the time they'll come over to you because the waiter will
26:16
be like, this person bought you a drink.
26:17
Oh, pop culture tips from Olivia.
26:21
They don't need a free drink.
26:22
They don't need them to come over to me and not think that I'm weirdo.
26:27
I'll send them a Bud Light or something real cheap.
26:29
I didn't order this Bud Light.
26:31
Well, Mr. Shack, that was from the woman from across the bar.
26:34
We'll check.
26:35
That was from Sean.
26:35
I don't drink this cheap ass beer.
26:37
I love it.
26:40
No, that sounds amazing.
26:41
Yeah.
26:42
I like the way you went with this.
26:43
Like what set would I just want a vacation on?
26:45
Exactly.
26:46
I like it.
26:47
I like your resort too.
26:48
That would be super cool to be out.
26:50
We can go from the blood rave and then we'll wash off.
26:54
And the pool.
26:55
And we'll wash off and the pool.
26:56
I think you're gonna suffere them in the blood rave.
26:58
Yeah, maybe we'll go to the night at the blood rave.
27:01
You're at the animals.
27:02
You know, with all that blood on you.
27:04
That's true.
27:04
We'll start the day at the resort.
27:07
Go to the club at night.
27:08
Go to the club at night.
27:09
Yeah.
27:09
There we go.
27:10
Love it.
27:11
Okay.
27:11
Well, then we can go to the afters for mine.
27:14
Oh God.
27:14
What's yours?
27:15
So mine is going to be eyes wide shut.
27:19
It is Stanley Kubrick's final film.
27:22
Not as sorry.
27:25
Sorry.
27:26
Sorry, Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise.
27:28
Were they married when they made this film?
27:30
They did make this film.
27:31
So if you are not familiar, I will say, you know,
27:35
you went on has taken their little grummy paws
27:38
and put their two cents on all of the.
27:41
So we do have to say not a Cuban honor.
27:43
I'm not any of that.
27:45
The exact opposite.
27:47
But so the reason that I pick eyes wide shut is two things.
27:52
So it is Stanley Kubrick's final film.
27:55
Four days after screening eyes wide shut,
27:58
he mysteriously died.
28:00
He was pretty healthy.
28:01
He died of a random heart attack in his sleep interest.
28:05
He was 70 years old.
28:06
So like, could that happen?
28:07
Yeah, absolutely.
28:09
And so if you've ever seen eyes wide shut,
28:11
it is kind of this this weird movie where it seems like Stanley Kubrick
28:16
was pulling in a lot of like illuminati references
28:20
and themes into it.
28:22
They're just like these weird like,
28:24
there's this weird orgy in the movie with like a sex cold.
28:27
Is that why you want to be in this film?
28:29
No, but he died.
28:31
They say now that the movie was like 95% done.
28:34
Like there was just some editing and post.
28:36
There's a lot of back and forth on if Stanley Kubrick
28:40
was willing to release the version that we got.
28:44
And so they cut 40 minutes of film from Stanley Kubrick's
28:49
version that he showed after he died.
28:52
After he died, 40 minutes of the movie are gone.
28:55
And so people like that's why people latched onto it.
28:58
And they say like, okay, that 40 minutes of missing footage,
29:01
they killed Kubrick and they ended up wanting like hiding a lot of
29:06
like the rituals and the illuminati stuff and all that.
29:08
And I think, you know, like to just be there and see it.
29:13
But then also know like what he was trying to say.
29:15
It's very, very film bro debated.
29:18
What is the point of eyes wide shut?
29:21
I'm gonna be honest, I've never seen it.
29:23
It's it's on my like it's worth watching once,
29:26
but it is really weird.
29:27
But in conjunction with this,
29:29
so it was two years before Nicole and Tom Cruise got a divorce.
29:35
And so it is heavily rumored at this time that whenever they want to go film,
29:40
eyes wide shut, Tom Cruise was thinking about leaving Scientology.
29:44
And what?
29:46
Yes. And so Nicole was trying to get him to leave.
29:49
And Scientology actually really thought that he was going to leave Scientology
29:54
at this time when they go and film this.
29:55
And so they started bugging Nicole's cell phone calls, all of her phone calls.
30:00
They started sending in like ways to try to break them up.
30:03
They talk about it a lot in the going clear documentary.
30:06
Mike Rinder is actually giving testimony like my job was to break up Tom and Nicole.
30:12
They were very afraid of them.
30:13
Gosh, they're coming together.
30:14
Like the church of Scientology had or still has their claws in Tom Cruise.
30:19
Oh, it's crazy.
30:20
I mean, he's well, and Nicole show him that.
30:22
And Nicole and Katie Holmes.
30:23
So it can stay home for sure.
30:25
And they started to kind of after like while this movie, he was pulling away.
30:29
And so they were tightening the reins and starting to try to like break them up in this process.
30:35
Yeah.
30:35
And so I think it's just such an interesting moment in time to look back on like what would
30:41
have changed if Tom Cruise actually left Scientology.
30:45
I wonder if it would have like less of an imp cultural impact than it does right now.
30:50
Absolutely.
30:50
And if there'd be less celebrities who are inclined to join it.
30:54
Absolutely.
30:54
Right.
30:54
I think 100% Tom Cruise people
30:58
like knew about Scientology from Tom Cruise.
31:01
But they didn't he didn't have as jumping on the couch moment yet.
31:03
So no, everyone was like, Oh, just think Tom Cruise does.
31:06
Yeah.
31:07
Whatever.
31:07
And so I think it's really interesting to like know that
31:11
as soon as they came back from the set, like he was free for the last time or kind of escaping
31:17
the clutches of Scientology.
31:19
And it was their relationship together.
31:22
And she was pretty young when they got married.
31:24
But I do think it's an interesting kind of like what
31:28
was happening behind the scenes.
31:29
And fascinating.
31:31
They're just yeah, what's Kubrick's vision here?
31:34
His final habit.
31:35
What is the greatest filmmakers of all time being with him just a couple days before his passing
31:40
or like recently, you know, leading up to his passing.
31:43
Yeah.
31:44
And there's a lot of conspiracy theories about Kubrick's death in general, what the movie was trying
31:50
to say.
31:51
And you know, one of the things that is pretty interesting about it is a lot of people
31:56
do not talk about like the set and what they knew.
32:00
And Kubrick was a pretty interesting person in how he made movies.
32:05
Like it said that until it went to theaters, like he could be editing the movie up until days before
32:10
it was really stupid.
32:11
I'm sure that was as stressful for like the production crew.
32:14
He, I mean, if you've ever heard about like the shining and what he did, like that was such a
32:20
trauma. I almost talked about the shining just to see like also another really good Kubrick film.
32:27
Just be on the set for just how traumatizing it was to the cat for Shelley Duval.
32:29
Oh my god.
32:30
I know that and see that and so probably abuse if he was.
32:33
Yes.
32:34
Yeah.
32:34
And so a lot of his movies have been the through line of like what is human nature and
32:40
eyes wide shut is like how does sex and power drive human nature.
32:45
And he didn't really talk about the meaning of the movie because he died before it even came out.
32:50
And so he couldn't really like he did with old metal jacket like he couldn't explain what the movie
32:56
was meant to say or do anything.
32:58
It was kind of up to the public watching it to kind of dissect it.
33:02
And then he died like immediately after and it was a film about rich wealthy elite people
33:08
in like a cult to control people and all this stuff.
33:13
So I think that would just be such an interesting movie to watch be made to know what Nicole and
33:20
Tom are going through.
33:21
I would just like to watch a lot of action the whole time.
33:23
Yeah.
33:24
Just how are they feeling about each other in this point in time.
33:27
It is really really crazy and you can kind of like see of course they're both amazing actors
33:34
in their own right but you can see tension and they play a married couple in it.
33:38
And you know they've been married for a while they're about to get a divorce
33:42
and in two years.
33:44
So you start to see this like tension and this true line and all of the stuff.
33:48
I love that picture of Nicole Kidman leaving the court house after her divorce.
33:52
It's amazing.
33:53
It's just bumping her hands on the air.
33:55
Yeah and so I think that that one's mine.
33:57
I did have a close runner up of the poltergeist.
34:01
Mine was Wizard of Oz.
34:03
Okay that's a great one.
34:04
It's like just all of the weird behind the scenes ship that went down and yeah.
34:08
Poltergeist I wouldn't want to be anywhere near because so many people died and like.
34:13
Yeah a lot of people died like really shortly after the movie.
34:19
Was being made the little girl died.
34:21
Yeah.
34:21
The third movie which was was pretty sad.
34:24
Another one which I thought was really really interesting was the Blair Witch project.
34:29
Yeah dude.
34:29
Because there's no lines of script.
34:31
It's all adlit and a lot of the stuff where they're like freaking out.
34:35
They were actually coming in and like fake torturing them.
34:38
Like they didn't the actors didn't know those people were going to be there
34:41
and they were setting up all these creepy things in the woods.
34:44
So a lot of those scenes you see are.
34:46
They're like legitimately startled.
34:47
Yeah and when the one kid like throws the map into the water the other two didn't know
34:52
that was happening and they were actually using it to like move around the area where they were filming.
34:57
And so there's a lot of those reactions to this video.
35:00
I guess I'd be cool if I was like a fly in the wall.
35:02
I don't want to be on the set.
35:03
I don't want to be cursed or die.
35:05
Yeah.
35:05
But I'll be just like hanging out and be like what you guys doing.
35:09
Yeah.
35:09
What you guys do.
35:10
Yeah absolutely.
35:11
And so I'll stay.
35:13
I love having an honor but different we all went with this.
35:16
Yeah really.
35:17
I want to be in a golf club.
35:19
I'm like I want to know the secrets to the aluminum and audio.
35:22
Okay so what I think we do then is we start the day at the resort.
35:27
And then we go to the Goth nightclub.
35:30
In the next day we wake up we have a hearty breakfast.
35:32
No it's the afters.
35:33
We go to the sex orgy cold sacrifice.
35:35
Oh shit no you're right.
35:37
Yeah it's the second party.
35:38
Okay we'll go to the Goth club then from like 10.
35:42
We'll go from like 9 to 2.
35:44
10 to 2.
35:45
Yeah 10 to 2.
35:46
And then we'll go to yours like yeah middle.
35:48
Yeah we'll sacrifice a woman.
35:49
It'll be great.
35:50
Yeah.
35:51
Yeah.
35:51
Just like you break up on it.
35:53
Just like say like you break up.
35:55
This is good.
35:57
This is good.
35:58
My runner up would have been Wizard of Oz.
36:01
Because I just want to know what happened to Judy Garland.
36:02
Yeah.
36:03
Wizard of Oz is like a lot of shit.
36:05
We were given her.
36:06
We can go way into that on that movie set.
36:08
But yeah they were given her uppers and downers.
36:11
And it was going to.
36:12
And I want to know about that dead person hanging in the background of that one.
36:16
I remember hearing that.
36:17
Wait what?
36:18
So oh yeah you tell it.
36:19
In this one scene they're walking down the yellow brick road and you could see a person
36:25
hanging in a tree and supposedly it is a real dead body hanging in the tree.
36:29
Yeah I'm not sure if that like that's what I'm saying.
36:31
I don't know if it's a real dead body but apparently it is.
36:34
They use real skeletons.
36:35
Yeah.
36:36
Yeah.
36:36
Or where she's like swimming around with the actual human remains.
36:40
Yeah.
36:40
That actually means that it might be true.
36:43
Yeah.
36:43
But who knows?
36:44
Yeah.
36:45
If they did it in the freaking 1990s they definitely did it in the 1930s.
36:49
Well they said that it was one of like the Oompa Loompa extras that like killed himself on set.
36:55
Yeah.
36:55
And that they didn't realize until like post production that he was hanging in the background.
37:00
I'm like how don't you know on set that?
37:01
Yeah.
37:02
Someone.
37:02
Yeah.
37:03
That's what they've been there.
37:04
If anybody has any actual insight into this and if this is just like an urban legend or not.
37:10
But no.
37:10
But yeah we'll pull up the picture in a second.
37:12
Oh my god.
37:12
We need to do an episode about just like urban legends.
37:15
That would be interesting.
37:16
Oh my god.
37:16
Because there's so many like Disney urban legends too.
