Episode 147 - GLOW S2E9 - Rosalie · My Third Place Pod

0:01
Last week I spoke about the TV shows that I grew up watching,
0:05
loving, and then for some reason or another, the realization that
0:08
they were cancelled or being cancelled hit me like a ton of
0:13
bricks. OK, some of them weren't
0:17
cancelled, but killing off a lovable character for the sake
0:20
of ratings? That means cancellation to me.
0:25
I usually stop watching, but knowing that a show is canceled,
0:30
to me feels like the fans were cheated.
0:36
The creator didn't try hard enough to get us to continue
0:39
watching. Or maybe it got its Dale and the
0:42
show has run its course, whether it be season one or season 10,
0:47
or, if you're a Supernatural fan, 15 seasons.
0:51
But what about the character death?
0:54
Those are the same. Sometimes it affects you
0:57
emotionally or sometimes that character had a fan base and a
1:01
Facebook page was made for them. Sometimes you stop watching
1:05
because they killed off your favorite character and ever
1:08
growing revolving door of an ensemble cast just like The
1:13
Walking Dead. Here are five, maybe four, Who
1:19
knows? Let's see how far I can take
1:20
this. Here are a few of them that I
1:23
enjoyed throughout the years. Hello, and we're going to start
1:27
off with Joyce Summers from Buffy killed off in season five.
1:32
Episode 16 episode titled The Body originally aired on WB and
1:38
the United States on February 27th, 2001.
1:42
That was for first time a character death affected me.
1:47
Sorry, I didn't watch much TV shows for me to say that these
1:51
deaths meant much to me. There was a Chet Hunter in 99 on
1:57
Boy Meets World, but I didn't feel it.
2:01
Perhaps I didn't relate to. It seems I grew up without a
2:04
father. But Buffy's mom?
2:08
Buffy's mom, to me, was the mom of a superhero.
2:11
She was a Slayer. The Slayer mom.
2:15
She was everyone's mom on the show, including one who just
2:20
showed up on that season. Don the scene where Buffy finds
2:25
her mom on the couch and tries to bring her back to life.
2:29
Shook me, Shook everybody. How can you kill off a character
2:33
like this? According to Screen Rent, Joyce
2:37
Joyce was killed off in Season 5.
2:40
Buffy in order to show Buffy that not every looming threat is
2:42
a monster she can stake. In fact, Joyce's heartbreaking
2:47
death shakes everyone to the core.
2:49
Is a solemn reminder of life randomness, of how no one can
2:53
control fate, not even the Slayer.
2:57
For this reason, the body remains one of the most
2:59
significant episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
3:04
Let's continue with the Buffy verse in chronological order.
3:07
Another character death that shook everyone.
3:10
Tara Baclay, A Buffy Season six episode 19 in the weeks leads up
3:18
to the final episode of season six.
3:20
We already knew the show was getting stale, with the big bad
3:23
for that season being 3 nerds who just wanted to mess with
3:27
buffing the Scooby. They built a robot out of Buffy.
3:32
Spike the vampire kind of took it for himself.
3:37
Play along with it anyway Don did, Don sings.
3:40
We don't really care about Don. Nobody likes Don, but when
3:43
everyone was focusing on that storyline, there was AB
3:47
storyline that should have been in the front lines since the
3:50
start of the season. Willow's obsession with magic
3:54
bringing back Buffy from the dead, playing with the elements
3:59
that it turned into an episode about drugs and how she needed
4:03
rehab, including a musical once more with feelings and the
4:07
episode after which she accidentally makes everyone
4:09
forget who they are. Tabula Rasa.
4:13
Unfortunately, this upset Tara, Willow's girlfriend, and they
4:18
break up for just a few episodes.
4:21
Meanwhile, back with Buffy. She ends up ruining the plans of
4:24
the nerds and one of them, Warren, his name is Warren,
4:29
decides to grab a gun and go to Buffy's house to shoot her.
4:35
In the melee, she shoots the gun in different directions 'cause
4:38
he doesn't know how to use a gun.
4:40
Hitting Buffy outside who was in front of him and Tara, who was
4:43
inside, with Willow killing her instantly.
4:48
Another lovable character, Winnifred Burkle Berkey Berkeley
4:55
Winifred Berkey from Angel. Season five episode 15.
5:01
Finally, the trilogy of the Buffy verse.
5:03
Another likeable character. As I said, Angels investigations
5:07
from season one through 4 fighting off an evil law firm
5:10
called Wolf in My Heart, Everything changes towards the
5:13
end of season four. With Angel accept a suite of
5:16
rooms at Wolfram Heart and his new home, Fred and maybe others
5:21
have the inner circle finds a home to San Jose ERA hers that
5:24
511 winward circle, her memories altered by a bell cast in season
5:28
four's last episode home. And it's unclear how much of the
5:33
events of season three and four she remembers come differently
5:36
or at all. Everything specific to Angel's
5:40
son Connor is definitely lost. Fred receives her own laboratory
5:45
and becomes the head of Wolf and Rehart science division.
5:47
She is a major asset to the team.
5:50
Angel consistently relies on her department to quickly and
5:53
deficiently solve problems after going on a few.
5:59
After going on a few days with Co worker Knox, Fred begins to
6:03
have feelings for Wesley again. They're prepared together for
6:06
about a week, but the couple's happiness is not to last.
6:11
A mysterious sarcophagus. Sarcophagus feels like I'm OK.
6:17
A mysterious sarcophagus allowed through customs by signature
6:20
from gun, appears in the lab. A sporadic Sam is it.
6:24
A hole opens the cover and the breath of wind blows into her
6:27
face. It turns out that there's
6:29
sarcophagus. Sarcophagus.
6:31
The The Sarc singing is a holding cell for one of the
6:35
original pure pre demons known as the Old Ones preaches
6:40
predestined to rise again. The air Fred inhales is actually
6:44
hilarious essence which immediately begins a parasitic
6:48
existence in our body, eating away at it and making her a
6:51
shell. We're still Knox had worshiped
6:55
Illyria for years and worked at Wolf and Heart for the sole
6:57
purpose of bringing the demon back.
7:00
Because of his affections for Fred, he chose her as the only
7:03
one worthy to house his God. As Angel and Spike travel to
7:09
England to find a cure, Wesley remains in Fred's bedroom with
7:12
her comforting her as she fights bravely but slowly begins to
7:17
die. Angel learns that the only way
7:19
to save Fred would be to draw Hilaria back to the deeper well
7:21
in England by using her Sarf Sarfu, Sarfagin sarcophagus,
7:29
sarcophagus, sarcophagus, Fagus sarcophagus as a beacon.
7:39
However, thousands of others would die, as hilarious as a cut
7:42
across the world back to the well.
7:45
Thus Angel and Spike are forced to do nothing, deciding that
7:48
Fred would not want this. If I have to say that one more
7:52
time. As she lies dying, Fred's mind
7:55
begins to give away. Nearing the end, she panic,
7:58
stating that Fagan Bum, a stuffed rabbit named for medical
8:06
medical physicist Mitchell Fagenbaum.
8:09
He said Bum, who studied care hysteria, should be there.
8:14
When Wesley asked her who Fagenbaum is, Fred replied that
8:17
he doesn't know. Cradling in his arms, Wesley
8:20
stays with Fred until the moment she died, after which her body
8:23
is taking over. Ilera Wesley, Why can't I stay?
8:27
Are Fred's last words? And finally Glenn Ree from The
8:35
Walking Dead season seven episode 10.
8:40
Glenn, my boy. Six seasons of getting to know
8:43
him and getting to the point of will he or will he die Only for
8:45
the first episode of season 7 to give us this moment?
8:51
So here's what happened in season 6.
8:52
Glenn leaves Alexandria and Rosita with Rosita and shown to
8:57
go after Daryl, who wants to avenge Denise's death by killing
8:59
Dwight. All four end up captured by
9:02
Dwight, who shoots Darrell, and the finale last day unearthed
9:06
the four unloaded from the back of a truck by Dwight where the
9:10
discover Carl, Rick, Maggie, Abraham, Sasha, Eugene, and
9:14
Aaron have already been captured.
9:17
Negan announces his plan to beat one of them to death, using his
9:20
baseball bat caller seal as punishment for the group Having
9:24
killed so many of his people, he initially offers to put the
9:28
pregnant maggot over misery then and there, causing Glen to beg
9:33
for his life. He is thrown back in the line by
9:36
Dwight. After contemplating whom to
9:39
kill, Negan decides to select at random by saying eenie meenie
9:44
miney MO. The season ends with Negan
9:48
beating an unknown target to death.
9:50
That's the cliffhanger. That's what US fans saw.
9:55
We waited months, months. It took it for us.
10:00
It seemed like it is. Possibly it would be waited
10:02
months to see in the end of this moment and see who was going to
10:06
survive. Facebook, group, Twitter,
10:09
Instagram was flooded with. If Glenn dies, we riot and we
10:14
will boycott this show. You will boycott, huh?
10:18
You'll boycott this show. Well, let me just tell you, in
10:21
the 7th season premiere, the day will come when you won't be.
10:25
That is the name of the episode. Abraham is revealed to be
10:28
Negan's chosen victim. It was Abe.
10:31
Abraham Negan barely beats him to death with Lucille as the
10:35
rest of the group watches, horrified when Daryl strikes
10:38
Negan in the face. In retaliation, Negan strikes
10:41
Glenn with Lucille. After two blows to the head,
10:45
Glenn sets up severely. Brain damage.
10:49
With a dislocated eye and cave in the skull and mothers Maggie,
10:56
I'll find you before Negan repeatedly bludgeoned Glenn's
11:00
skull into a bloody pulp. After Negan and the Saviors
11:04
leave Abraham and Glenn corpse all loaded into a truck.
11:08
Maggie and Sasha take the Hilltop.
11:12
Rick. Then hallucinates an idealistic
11:14
lifestyle in Alexandria with everyone, Abraham and Glenn
11:18
included, eating dinner together in the Cell.
11:22
Negan's henchman Dwight leave the picture of Glenn's mangled
11:25
corpse and Darryl Cell, where he is being help captive to torment
11:29
him In go getters Glenn and Abraham has shown to be buried
11:33
together at Hilltop. That episode came out on October
11:37
23rd and 2016. Maggie, Glenn's wife has had
11:41
since 2016 to plot her revenge or kill Negan.
11:47
Instead she is in a spin off show with Negan called Dead
11:51
City. The series follows Maggie,
11:53
Negan, Negan. The series follows Maggie and
11:56
Negan traveling to a post apocalyptic Manhattan cut off
11:59
from the mainland to search of Maggie's kidnapped son Herschel.
12:05
The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who
12:08
have made New York City their own world, full of anarchy,
12:11
beauty, danger and terror. None.

scheme through Wu Byers at ATV Expo.
14:28
The cold open his roof sitting at the tenor table eating
14:31
spaghetti with Justine and Sam discussing us her curriculum in
14:36
Justine's class called Family Living.
14:38
Justine says it's mandatory. They make you get fake married
14:42
and take care of a plant and make a household budget.
14:47
She says it's progressive bullshit.
14:49
There's more girls than guys in the class that they gave extra
14:52
every husband, two wives. Ruth Happy claims.
14:56
Oh it's team polygamy great. Team polygamy great.
15:01
Sam jumps in and says now they got to meet with her teacher
15:06
because she's failing in this class that shouldn't exist in
15:08
the 1st place. Justine says she's not failing.
15:11
She's getting AD in protest. Justine gets up and grabs all
15:16
the plates to get her take to the kitchen.
15:18
Ruth offers to help with. Justine says she's got and she
15:21
can barely walk. Ruth tells Sam thanks for
15:26
inviting her to family dinner. Sam tells Ruth that was
15:29
Justine's idea. He thinks she wanted a buffer.
15:32
Ruth says nice way to spend their last night before last
15:35
week, so real quick about the plant.
15:39
I did the same thing in 6th grade, but ours was a 5 LB bag
15:44
of flour. I think it was 5 LB.
15:45
Might have been more than that. It carried a whole weight of the
15:48
world on that thing. It was heavy.
15:51
We had to take this bag of flour home and back to school with us
15:53
every day for a whole month to prove how responsible we were.
15:58
Six what 1213 telling us, you know this is your kid?
16:03
Come on. There were dresses and eyeballs
16:06
and lots of potato listings in the Flower Baby during reasons.
16:11
Either there. Find a classmate to watch your
16:13
Flower baby and there was always one who was watching a group of
16:16
them or you can't play at all. No, it wasn't cute.
16:20
We had rules, we had rules and so did the babysitters.
16:26
You had to be there kind of thing.
16:27
It was horrible. Needless to say that by the end
16:29
of the month I learned nothing and my flower baby was being
16:33
used by my mom to make food. My mom killed her Flower
16:37
grandbaby. Back to the show.
16:43
Sam is in the kitchen with Justine putting The Dirty plates
16:45
in the dishwasher, he says. Can't believe family do this
16:48
every night, right? Ruthie else from the living room
16:51
that she left two dresses from Jenny as she has to pick one for
16:54
winter formal. Justine explains that she's not
16:57
getting dressed up. Her and Billy are going
17:00
ironically. Sam asked if she's back with
17:04
Billy, but she tells them that they never broke up.
17:07
Ruth says she's going to leave the dresses just in case.
17:09
She changes her mind. Justine yells.
17:12
No, she won't. Good night.
17:15
Ruth gets up from the chair and tries to grab her crutches to
17:18
move back to the couch. Sam helps her, and they suddenly
17:22
stand face to face. She asks for a ride home, but he
17:26
asks her if she's comfortable with a very tired drunk driver.
17:30
He suggests she stays here. He can kick Justine out of the
17:34
guest room and she can sleep outside.
17:36
Ruth tells him no, she can sleep on the couch.
17:39
Sam walks over to take the pills off the couch, give her the
17:41
blanket for another comfortable pillow, making it all better.
17:46
He turns off the light and says goodnight and goes to his room.
17:49
Seconds later, Justine is playing Billy's loud music.
17:52
Morning in America. Sam yells from his room for
17:56
Justine to turn down the music. Justine yells back.
17:59
It's not that loud, Sam yells. It sounds like someone is being
18:02
murdered by trash compactor Ruth just tried to sleep.
18:08
Ruth, on the other hand, enjoys the yelling and smiles as the
18:10
glow logo appears on the screen. Next scene, at the hotel,
18:17
Gregory is putting out muffins for the girls.
18:19
You remember Gregory, right? The hotel manager.
18:23
The Russian hotel manager Mel, reveals on him that they're
18:25
leaving in a week. Would it kill him to put on a
18:29
decent continental breakfast? Or at least give them cups.
18:33
Gregory points at the box and in his Russian accent, tells him
18:35
it's a beautiful muffin meal and he will give them cups when they
18:40
bring back the plunger. Rhonda says that she can't
18:44
believe it's ending. She loves the Glow team.
18:46
They are like a family. Sheila asked Tammy how many of
18:50
their welfare Queen dolls has she sold?
18:52
Tammy says 50. Cash money.
18:55
She's going to buy Ernest a new computer, all part of her
18:58
contiguously plan. She had to sink ahead because
19:02
everyone, everything ends. Sheila asked what the plan is
19:05
exactly. Tammy says acting class, then
19:07
pitch her own TV show to KDTV and become the next Whoopi
19:11
Goldberg, who at that time in 1995 was starring Acelli in The
19:16
Color Purple, which won her a Best Actress in the Bulletin
19:19
picture drama at the Golden Globe Awards in January of 1986.
19:24
Sheila tells Tammy she wants to take an acting class.
19:27
Tammy tells her she can tag along.
19:29
She helps put little leotards on their little Queens.
19:33
Jenny asked everyone if they want a job application for the
19:35
limited clothing brand store that operates inside the mall.
19:39
Rhonda Coy says she's keeping her options open.
19:41
Everyone oohs don't know why the reason there was an ooh there,
19:47
Cherry says. They will all find something and
19:49
Sam's very loyal. As if to say if something
19:51
doesn't turn up for them and Sam is working on his next project,
19:54
he'll give them a call to play a hyper sexual cannibal alien in
19:57
the desert or something. Melrose sarcastically Glimpse.
20:01
That's great, she can't wait for it.
20:05
Melrose and Jenny stare at the entrance when Britannica's name
20:07
gets called. In walks a man holding a plate
20:10
of cupcakes. Rhonda gets up in the chair and
20:13
then decided to see this young man.
20:15
Not just any young man, it's a ham.
20:19
No wait, his name is Patrick. Rena.
20:22
And you probably know him by one movie.
20:25
Well, I only know him by one movie.
20:28
He's been in many movies since, got starred in many TV shows by
20:31
Ellie. I only know him as Hamilton, the
20:33
Great Gambino Porter from one of my favorite movies of all time,
20:37
The Sandlot. The Great Gambino.
20:42
Yolanda asked which one's this one.
20:43
Sheila explains his name as cupcakes because he bakes for
20:46
her. Not to be confused with the one
20:50
that sends her chest hair clippings.
20:52
Oh, Cupcakes is wearing a shirt that with Britannica's face on
20:56
it that says glasses beat asses. Rhonda tells him that she will
21:00
miss him after next week. But Britannica will live in your
21:03
brain forever and always, Cupcake says.
21:08
Oh no, no, no, no, no, this can't end.
21:11
He's gathered down on one knee and everyone gasps.
21:15
Cupcake tells Rhonda he wants to be there for her, for everything
21:18
from A-Z. He grabbed her hand and asked
21:21
her to marry him. Rhonda laughed in his face.
21:24
It actually rhymes. I just didn't do the rhyming.
21:27
I want to be there for you. Everything from A-Z Britannica,
21:32
would you marry me? Get it?
21:34
Rhonda laughed in his face. Tells him that he's too much and
21:37
she'll see him at the match and she'll blow him a kiss.
21:41
Cupcake stands up and asks if it's a maybe.
21:44
Yolanda yells at Cupcake to go home, go back to strudel or
21:48
something. Dale, a Fuera get out.
21:52
Cupcake tells Miranda he loves her and leaves.
21:55
Jenny whispers to Melrose as Rhonda has a stalker.
21:57
Melrose agrees and asks why doesn't she have a stalker.
22:01
They all want a stalker. The next scene, back at Sam's
22:06
place, someone keeps knocking at the door.
22:10
Ruth, who is awakening from the loud banging, grabs her crutches
22:13
and walks over to open the door. It's Rosalie who is looking for
22:17
her daughter. Sam comes out of her room and
22:19
asks what was all that fucking noise.
22:23
Rosalie says she's the fucking noise.
22:25
She's here for her kid Sam into himself.
22:28
Rosalie says she knows who he is and calls out for Justine.
22:32
Jump to them both screaming at each other outside while both
22:36
Sam and Ruth watch from the kitchen.
22:38
Ruth is drinking coffee and Sam is smoking a cigarette, telling
22:40
her that she that he had sex with that woman 17 years ago and
22:44
now she's in his house yelling at his daughter.
22:48
Ruth says that's his family and she sips her coffee outside.
22:52
Rosalie is Justine continue to argue about Rosalie's family and
22:56
how Justine can't stand them back.
22:58
Inside, Sam says they're so loud.
23:01
Ruth suggests that she should leave and she can get a cab.
23:04
Sam stops her saying she can't. He's going to say all the wrong
23:07
shit at the wrong time and then he's going to lose her.
23:10
He doesn't want to lose her. Rosalie yells at Justine to get
23:15
her shit and get in the fucking car, which makes Justine upset
23:17
and starts to cry, but goes to her room and slams the door.
23:22
Ruth turns to look at Rosalie and yells from the outside.
23:25
Ruth turns to look back at Sam, tells him she's stay but he
23:29
should put on some pants on next scene.
23:35
Bash and Debbie are right at the TV Expo.
23:39
All right, so I looked this up and the LA Times called this the
23:41
National Convention of National Association of Television
23:44
Program Executives, Nat P The convention is an annual five day
23:52
orgy of buying and selling during which America's
23:55
television stations, as well as steadily increasing number of
23:58
shoppers from cable television networks and foreign
24:01
broadcasting companies, decide which tell sell indication,
24:06
decide which syndicated television shows to buy and
24:08
which ones to reject for the false TV season.
24:13
All right, that's Amanda. How that was a mouthful of Bash
24:15
tells Debbie they're going to glow.
24:17
Just Bash tells Debbie they're going to sell glow to stations
24:22
all across the country. They get a form.
24:25
They got a format that belongs to them.
24:27
After next week, they've got to find someone who would
24:29
appreciate them, Debbie says. Fuck KDTV.
24:32
They were such a small pawn for them, Bash tells her.
24:34
They have booth 225 and she is the secret weapon Star producer
24:40
Bombshell. Debbie looks around at all the
24:43
billboards and TV executives Googling the models in bikinis.
24:47
Bash asks if Debbie brought a bikini.
24:49
She reminds them that she asked him if he wanted her to come.
24:51
Miss Liberty Bell, a woman in the white suit, comes up to
24:55
holding them a tray of champagne.
24:58
She. Tells them Hollywood Squares in
24:59
the booth 24 they both grabbed a glass and in champagne and right
25:03
behind them was a man dressed as Evel Knievel.
25:05
What time was a big stunt time stunt performer who most famous
25:10
stunt was attempt to jump the fountains at Caesar's Palace
25:13
which result in severe injuries. Despite never successfully
25:17
jumping the Grand Canyon, Knievel became a legendary
25:19
figure, breaking numerous records and suffering hundreds
25:22
of bone fractures throughout his career.
25:24
Sweet. Both Bash and Debbie continue
25:28
walking, looking for their booths and amazed at all the
25:31
other booths. With the syndicated TV shows
25:33
that showed up with TV screens showing after episode or the
25:37
executive walking around, they finally find their booth and
25:40
it's empty. With nothing to show or tease,
25:43
Debbie suggests to skip the humiliation and just go right to
25:46
getting drunk at the Hollywood Squares booth.
25:49
Bash less to forget the booth. They have to glow tape, Debbie
25:53
says. They have no way of showing
25:54
what's in the tape when all these other booths have TV
25:56
monitors with VCRS. They both look around the room
26:00
and get the press. Bash snap his finger and ask
26:03
Debbie has she ever seen Muppets take Manhattan?
26:06
Debbie says no and Bash smiles as he walks away from the booth
26:09
with her. I want to go back to this scene
26:14
from the start because there was a lot of Easter eggs on that
26:18
scene, a lot of booth, and at the time we seen as great TV
26:22
shows. The $6 million Man which run
26:24
from 1974 through 1978. I Court ran from 1984 through
26:29
1992. The Bionic Woman from 76 to 78,
26:32
The New Newlywed Game from 1784 to 89, The Twilight Zone from
26:37
1959 to 64, different strokes from 78 to 84.
26:41
Hee Haw with 23 seasons from 1969 to 1992.
26:45
The bikini girls wearing shirts from heart to heart from 1978
26:49
nine to 1984, passing by the Dynasty billboards which lasted
26:53
from 1969 to 1971. The New Hollywood Square show
26:57
lasted from 1986 to 1991 and the woman that was serving the
27:01
champagne tried to look her up, even took a screenshot of it
27:04
with my new phone, the Galaxy S24, and circled it.
27:08
If you get what circled mean, you get it.
27:10
It didn't give me her name, but it gave me who she might have
27:13
looked like at the time, which was Laura Spang, who had the
27:16
same hairdo and was on the old Hollywood square for a few
27:21
episodes in 1979. Hi everyone, this is JJ, the Co

And until next time, whenever life is tough, just keep
29:50
sipping. Next scene, We're back at the
29:56
motel, Melrose and Jenny giving back their clothes to each
29:59
other. Rhonda walks into the room and
30:01
hands the golden white jacket back to Jenny.
30:02
Melrose immediately tries to rip it from her, but Jenny says it's
30:06
hers. She gave it to her, Melrose
30:08
says, so she can have sex. She did not have sex to The deal
30:12
is off. Jenny says.
30:14
She was just jealous because she has a boyfriend and Melrose
30:16
doesn't. Melrose sarcastically says she's
30:19
going to find one out when she works at the Limited and she's
30:22
going to go there and try on everything, Rhonda says.
30:25
Maybe she will grab one of those applications.
30:29
Stacy says that they work at the Limited and her and Don work at
30:33
salon. Then they'll be working at the
30:34
mall and they can eat lunch together at the food court.
30:37
Such a big deal, this one. The mall was a big, exciting
30:41
thing at the time in the 80s. Now this is whatever, dude.
30:47
So it's for them. It's just like, Oh my God, we
30:50
can work together, we can hang out together.
30:53
And now it's just like, I don't want to talk to you.
30:56
So that was the whole thing there with this little scene.
30:59
Everyone says it's excited except for Rhonda, who is
31:02
looking at the application and says she can't answer the first
31:04
question and ask what a Social Security number is.
31:07
Melrose asked Why doesn't she have a Social Security number
31:10
and what info did she put on the paperwork for the show?
31:13
Rhonda responds that she's left that top part blank.
31:16
They all stared at her in disappointment.
31:18
Rhonda says it's fine, she's just a little bit of the off the
31:20
grid, Dion says that's called illegal.
31:24
Melrose asked if she killed someone in England.
31:26
Rhonda says she just likes it here.
31:28
She just wants to stay. Jenny suggests she goes to the
31:31
British Consulate and apply for a visa.
31:33
Her Uncle Timmy did and he barely speaks English.
31:35
And now he owns 4 donut shops. Did he?
31:41
Rhonda says she's gotten this far without an American ID.
31:43
She got this job, Jenny says. Not everyone's as dumb as Bash.
31:47
The Limited is serious. It's a well run company.
31:50
You're going to need an ID. Just go get to the just go to
31:54
the consulate. It's going to take like an hour,
31:57
Rhonda says. Fine.
31:58
She really thinks everyone's making too big of a deal over
32:00
this. When Americans really love the
32:02
British people, they love us. We get exceptions.
32:06
Mal Rose in a British accent makes fun of Rhonda.
32:08
Hello. I like Ibiza.
32:10
I've won my go through to the consulate that was a poor I I so
32:16
one. I can't do Russian.
32:18
I can't do, I can't do English. Oh yeah.
32:24
Back at the convention, Bash explains to Debbie the plot of
32:27
Muppets Take Manhattan. And in one scene where Kermit
32:30
goes into Saudis and he replaces Lyson Ali's portrait with his,
32:35
Debbie stops and asks how many times I've seen this movie.
32:37
Bash says Florin and Hem side for times in theaters at his
32:40
research for his life in the arts, he continues about the
32:44
movie that he saw with Florian. So the rats are underneath the
32:48
table and they're whispering about how great the show is.
32:50
Then they get exposed and everyone freaks out and starts
32:53
totally turned apart. And then Lysa comes in and she
32:55
sees her portrait. Debbie interrupts.
32:58
He wants to start a whisper campaign.
33:00
Bash says. Yes, Debbie says.
33:02
OK, great, so shut up about the frog.
33:04
I'll follow your lead. So here's what really happened
33:07
in Muppets Take Manhattan, OK, what Kermit did in that movie
33:11
was come into Sardi's in a large fur coat, which hid the rat.
33:14
Then Hatton dispersed around the restaurant to start a whisper
33:17
gossip to bring attention to him, while he stoutly replaced
33:20
one of the character pictures with his.
33:22
For Kermit, things didn't work out so smoothly as Liza
33:25
Minnelli, whom Kermit randomly replaced his picture with, came
33:29
in wondering why her picture was replaced.
33:31
And the rats got so overcome by the smell of the food, they
33:35
surfaced and caused a near ride in the restaurant getting all of
33:38
them kicked out. It's a great movie.
33:42
Came out like me before, you know.
33:44
And if you don't know which one is that one, the one Muppet
33:47
movie it does Someone's getting married once Kermit and Miss
33:51
Piggy get married in this movie. Fun, right?
33:58
Few scenes. We see him on Taj and Bash and
34:00
Debbie doing the Whisper campaign in front of a bunch of
34:02
executives trying to sell GLOW. Debbie grabbed some cheese in
34:05
front of the two because Excellence asked about these
34:07
tapes going around called Glow, Batch says.
34:10
Oh, you mean the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling.
34:12
It's impossible to get tape but King World's interested in GLOW
34:16
Debbie as that's who bought Wheel of Fortune with 50K and
34:19
it's syndicated to a million markets.
34:22
Everyone around them starts to get interested.
34:24
They grab their little pens, they start writing things down
34:29
and the other thing with Bash on his brick wireless cell phone,
34:32
talking to nobody on the other end, telling them because Glow's
34:34
on how to show out there, And then says his company name out
34:38
loud Bash, Howard Bash, Howard Productions.
34:42
Finally, Deb is in the bathroom talking to Carol Bash, hiding on
34:46
the other stall that she wants to buy Glow before the CBS
34:48
Ophelia sniff it out. She tells Carol it's a variety
34:51
of wrestling. It's like Monty Python meets
34:54
Miami Vice, meets Laughing and meets Charlie's Angel.
34:58
She's glad she grabbed the last copy of it, Carol says.
35:00
It sounds like one of those very hip shows on MTV.
35:03
I bet we could go national prop with a property like that.
35:07
Another woman comes out of the stall and over here's the
35:09
Commission while fixing her hair.
35:11
Gabby walks inside that stall and the woman grabs the copy of
35:14
the glow tape and walks out. Debbie gets out of the stall and
35:18
whispers that she's gone and she took the tape, Bash says.
35:20
Great, now let's go to the men's room.
35:23
They both leave quickly. Back at Sam's house, he tells
35:28
everyone. Maybe they just start just back
35:32
at Sam's house. He tells everyone maybe they
35:34
should just sit down and talk and get to know each other,
35:38
Rosalie says Justine been laying, lying to her for months.
35:42
She's been calling her from her dorm room at a performing arts
35:44
high school. She's been forging her report
35:47
cards, Sam says. Oh shit, that's elaborate.
35:50
Rosalie asked if he's proud. Sam says no.
35:53
Yeah, maybe. Look, she lies to him too,
35:56
right? She's got a gift.
35:59
Rosalie tells Sam not to do that, not to be cute.
36:03
Sam says in his defense, she did tell him that she was crazy.
36:06
Rosalie yells that she don't care if she told him that.
36:09
She beats her. The minute you realize that a
36:10
child has run away from home, you call their mother, Sam says.
36:15
Yeah, well, you didn't. She didn't call him to tell him
36:19
she was having a kid. Rosalie yells.
36:22
Oh, well, excuse me for not calling the guy that didn't stay
36:24
for breakfast, Sam says. I don't think that's what
36:27
happened, Rosalie says. I asked if you wanted eggs.
36:29
You said I fucking hate eggs. That was fun.
36:31
And then you made the Black power Fist and you left.
36:35
Ruth, who is standing by watching the whole argument,
36:37
says that sounds like a long time ago.
36:39
Ruthalie says thanks for the math, Tiny Tim.
36:43
Ruth once again says Sam is really connected with Justine.
36:46
He enrolled her in high school. She joined AV Club.
36:49
She has a boyfriend who's really sweet.
36:51
They're going to growing to winter formal tonight, Sam says.
36:54
Yeah yeah, this dance is very meaningful for her, Rosalie
36:58
yells back. My kid does not go to dances,
37:00
trust me. Justine comes out of bedroom
37:03
with two roses Ruth left for her last night and yells, yes she
37:06
does. Which one should she wear?
37:10
Rosalie says the black one. Sam says the green 1.
37:12
Ruth says she agrees with Rosalie.
37:13
The black one. Justine goes back inside her
37:16
room. The roof turns the Rosalie.
37:17
Look, it's one night and it'll give you 2 time to catch up.
37:21
Rosalie asks who she is. Ruth responds with she's going
37:24
to make coffee in the kitchen, just in case anyone wants.
37:27
She hobbles to the kitchen, Sam tells Rosalie.
37:29
All right, you're angry. I get it, all right?
37:31
I'm just trying to make up for lost time here, OK?
37:33
And she's doing good in school, except for this one bullshit
37:36
class. I have to go and talk to the
37:37
teacher, you know. Also, she has a curfew.
37:40
I'm trying to teach her what I know about filmmaking.
37:42
I'm trying. I'm trying here, Rosalie says.
37:47
She'll let her go to the dance, and then after that they're
37:49
leaving. She's not going to indulge in
37:51
this father, daughter, Fucking fancy.
37:53
She may want to know you, but she doesn't need you.
37:56
Wow. She puts a cigarette in her
37:59
mouth and walks outside. Next scene, Yolanda's dancing in
38:05
Argy's room. Who puts on an very obscure
38:08
song? Make a journey from Molly
38:11
Duncan. Couldn't find the song on
38:13
Spotify, but I did get to find on YouTube.
38:16
If you're looking for a song that you heard on a TV show but
38:18
you don't know the name of the song, go to tunefind.com.
38:22
Lots of TV shows, seasons and episodes and it will tell you
38:26
specifically in what scene it is.
38:28
If it's not there, you know it. You can edit that and but you
38:31
also have to have to link to Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music,
38:34
Apple Music, or song Trailer link will be in the show notes.
38:38
I'll have a clip of the song so you know what I'm talking about.
38:42
Made the journey across the desert, filled it to hide, you
38:51
take. An army.
38:53
To defend you, but sure that I will find you, Yolanda says That
39:02
already really expanded her musical taste.
39:04
Most memorable quote As everyone is putting in the comments of
39:08
the YouTube video, Ari tells Yolanda she can keep that tape
39:11
as a memento so you don't look back and think this was a big,
39:14
bizarre dream. Yolanda tells her they were
39:17
really good together. Ari tells her she just followed
39:21
her. She's the one that's amazing.
39:23
Yolanda tells Ari to accept the compliment.
39:28
She is a crazy good dancer and she's really fun to live with.
39:32
Ari tells Yolanda She's the coolest, Yolanda says.
39:36
True, she knows, but see how she accepted that they both smile.
39:42
Yolanda walks over to sit next to Artie on the bed and Artie
39:44
says she doesn't want this to end.
39:47
They both stare into each other's eyes and Yolanda asks
39:50
what if they kept living together.
39:52
Artie says she'd be into it. They both chuckle.
39:56
Next scene is at the winter formal.
39:59
The DJ is playing Kyrie by Mr. Mr. All the kids are dancing.
40:03
Justine is trying to dance with Billy who is being a downer and
40:06
telling Justine he rather UN alive himself then dance to this
40:10
song. Justine says if she leaves the
40:13
dance floor he's never going to see her again so they better
40:16
dance. Billy says he doesn't want her
40:18
to go. He loves her.
40:20
She tells him she loves him back and they kiss.
40:23
Just notice how Justine is as tall as the other woman on the
40:26
show when they're all in the gym.
40:28
Well, once you realize she's 17 or 18 and she's at the school
40:31
dance, she's just as tall or short as the other kids dancing
40:34
around. Britt Barron is actually 5-4.
40:39
In the time she was recording the show.
40:41
She was in her late 20s. So she's an old OK, no, not old.
40:45
I'm sorry, bad choice of words. She is in her 20s playing a 17
40:51
year old. Anyway, back to the show.
40:54
Sam, Rosalie and Ruth are standing by the door shop around
40:58
the event and watching their kid kissing Billy.
41:01
Mostly. Rosalie, who is in shock, asking
41:03
who the hell is this girl Sam F Ruth are looking at a different
41:07
direction. Justine tells Billy she doesn't
41:09
know what to do. Billy suggests they run away
41:12
into the night together, crash in his front basement for a few
41:14
nights, and then his band, Shed Pope has a gig in New York over
41:18
the winter break and that's where they'll stay.
41:21
Forget LA and forget the parents.
41:23
They can leave tonight. Spoken like a true belly
41:27
teenager Justine likes the idea and looks past him at their
41:30
parents and says she's never been to New York and kisses him
41:33
again. Rosa Lee's.
41:36
Talking to Ruth, she tells Ruth she knows she's daring, but this
41:39
is her first boyfriend and she can't believe she's wearing a
41:42
dress. Rosa Lee is getting married next
41:45
year, and Justine won't wear anything that she likes.
41:47
It's been the two of them for a long time, so it's complicated.
41:50
Ruth agrees that people are complicated, Rosa Lee says, not
41:53
her. Brad and her took her a long
41:55
time to find somebody who was nice to her and uncomp
41:58
uncomplicated. She says that she used to date
42:02
these guys that just would run so hot and then so cold and she
42:04
never knew where she stood, so it was exhausting for her.
42:08
Ruth chuckles and says she knows and stares at Sam, who is by the
42:11
punch bowl. Back to Sam, who serves himself
42:15
a drink and stands next to SNL alum Horatio Sam's, who
42:18
introduces himself as Ray and is also a chaperone whose job
42:22
consists of owning a small chain of strip clubs.
42:29
The 80s were wild. Who?
42:34
Who? What teacher would allow what?
42:37
I'm done, Sam says. He knows his place.
42:40
Chickies come for the wings, but stay for the breasts.
42:44
He's been there, Ray suggests. Next time he comes by, just.
42:47
Ask for him, Sam agrees. Ray.
42:50
Asked which one is his? Don't, please don't.
42:53
Don't tell him. Sam says she's right over there
42:57
and follows her as she walks around the gym like a lost
42:59
puppy. Sam excuses himself and runs
43:02
interception on Justine, who always made to the exit door
43:05
Justine makes. An excuse as she's going outside
43:08
to smoke because her and Billy got into a fight.
43:11
Sam smells the bullshit and tells her she's lying.
43:14
Justine explained that Billy got a gig in New York.
43:16
She's done with her the least. She won't let her stay there
43:19
with them, so they're going to roll.
43:21
Sam mocks Justine. Really, You're going to roll.
43:23
You're rolling, rolling, rolling.
43:26
No, not that one. He asks her if she's going to be
43:28
on his roadie. He looks for Rosalie and calls
43:31
her over. Justine calls Sam Benedict
43:33
Arnold. Sam says she's her mother and
43:35
not keeping secrets from each other.
43:37
He tells Rosalie. Justine is trying to leave it.
43:39
Billy. Rosalie is disappointed.
43:41
Justine tells her mom she can't control her.
43:43
She's almost 18. Rosalie says she can't do this
43:47
again. Sam says he can.
43:49
He has Justine. If this is her big idea, this is
43:51
your rebellion. She's going to run away and be
43:53
someone's girlfriend. Justine says she gets it.
43:57
He doesn't approve, Sam says. Who gives a fuck whether or not
43:59
he approves? Why does she care what he think?
44:02
Stop caring what he thinks. Stop following him around.
44:04
Stop following Billy around. You are your own person, right?
44:08
Why don't you be your own fucking person then?
44:10
Look, I know you want to stay, right?
44:12
I want you to stay. But that might have happen.
44:14
But that doesn't mean you capsize your future just to make
44:17
a point. Justine pouts and turns around
44:20
to leave, but Sam stops her, asking where she's going.
44:23
She turns to tell them she's going to tell Billy she can't go
44:26
to New York with him, and then she's going to smoke pot in the
44:28
parking lot. Sam nods, is head in agreement,
44:32
and Rosalie looks confused as to what just happened.
44:34
She tells Sam it's not fair. She listens to him, Sam says,
44:37
because she hasn't been hearing his voice for 17 years.
44:41
It cuts through, he tells Rivoli.
44:44
She did a great job. Their daughter is smart, strong
44:48
willed, self possessed. He couldn't have done it.
44:51
Rivoli smirks and says she's still taking her home with her.

47:29
Are you looking for a new podcast?
47:31
Or maybe you just love celebrity interviews and can't get enough
47:33
of them? On the Tis Yourself podcast, the
47:36
Todd AKA Rob Machio from Scrubs told me about his first time
47:40
speaking to a group of surgeons. And I was just like, Listen,
47:43
guys, when in doubt, the Todd's prescription for everything is
47:47
less moaning, more boning. Or you want to find out more
47:50
about how Joe Exotic had such a vendetta against Carol Baskin
47:53
when she had this to say about him?
47:55
Because I've never even spoken to Joe.
47:57
Find out all of this and more on the Tis Yourself podcast
48:00
wherever you get your part. Optical flip Ruth is sitting on
48:19
the gym benches while Don't You Want Me by Human League as
48:22
playing, Sam finds Ruth sitting by herself.
48:25
Sam tells her that yes, maybe he needed her to come.
48:28
Ruth said that this DJ is pretty great and freshman freshman
48:32
asked for the dance, but she said no.
48:34
Sam calls her a heartbreaker already.
48:36
Sam asked Ruth if she wants to dance with an adult and extends
48:39
his hand. Ruth says she can't.
48:41
He says that she can do a music video about kidnapping, but she
48:44
can't get up and pretend to hop around for a second or two.
48:47
Ruth laughs and gets up to start dancing, but the song Changes to
48:50
Crazy for You by Madonna. Sam says it doesn't matter, he's
48:53
going to same. He's going to do the same move.
48:55
She puts her head on the shoulder and slowly dances with
48:57
him. But ask him if he won over
48:59
Rosalie. He says she's taking Justine
49:02
home. She tripped and put both of her
49:04
hands over his shoulders. Well, conveniently the lyrics
49:06
says two by two. Their bodies become one.
49:10
They both back up to look at each other again, the lyrics
49:16
matching what they're doing. Can't you feel the weight of my
49:19
stair? You're so close.
49:21
But still he leans, leans in for the kiss and she backs out
49:25
quickly saying to her ankle hurts.
49:27
She grabs her crutches and says she's grab a She'll grab a cab
49:31
as she leaves root her head store to door, but turns around
49:34
to look for Sam. The lyrics continue.
49:38
I never wanted anyone like this. The camera bang pans back to
49:42
Sam, the chorus of the song hitting I'm Crazy for you.
49:47
Next scene, Bash and Debbie at a bar with a massive brick phone
49:51
right in front of Bash. Debbie says, So when people
49:54
call, what do we say? Do you want to buy glow?
49:56
Bash says no. We're in the power position.
49:59
They're calling us, so we invite them to a live taping.
50:02
We get them even more excited and then they'll see other
50:04
buyers there, and then we can negotiate from a place of
50:07
strength, Debbie says. Unless no one called.
50:11
Thank God we didn't tell them when.
50:13
We were coming. Bash us.
50:15
It'll be like this day never happened, just like the show.
50:19
Debbie says at least we got to spend a lovely night together
50:21
getting drunk in Anaheim. They wait a few seconds, Bash
50:24
stares at the phone, and it finally rings.
50:26
Bash answers and exercises to talk to the person I'll give
50:29
you, and he tells them they're having a live taping next week
50:32
and it's their final show, but he will reserve him a seat with
50:34
the same address that's on the tape.
50:36
At 7:00, Bash hangs up and both are excited.
50:39
This just happened. And then Debbie asks Bash who
50:42
that was. Bash didn't ask, but he said it
50:46
was Joe from the Chicago market and just going to refer to him
50:50
as Chicago Joe. Joe from Chicago, Joe Chicago.
50:55
Debbie suggests next time he needs to get a name.
50:57
She hangs, hands him a napkin in a panda, right?
51:00
The phone rings again, and Bash hands Debbie the phone this time
51:03
so she can answer it. She says Bash Howard Productions
51:06
Mr. Howard on the other line with Chicago Hold please.
51:09
She covers the mouth receiver and tells Bash they better have
51:11
a good match if they're inviting buyers.
51:13
Batch says Carmen is all on that optical flip cue to Carmen
51:17
smoking weed from a bong with the other girls cheering her on.
51:22
Carmen yells happily that she did a drug.
51:25
She finally did a drug. Cherry tells him to pipe down
51:29
and ask if this team meeting about the finale ideas happening
51:32
because it was not. Give her the bong already, says
51:36
Cherry bong. Everyone laughs.
51:41
Cherry offers the bunk to Melrose, who says she's saying
51:43
no. The drugs.
51:44
Today, Jenny asks Melrose why she's being such a drag.
51:46
Melrose tells her because she's sad.
51:48
What if glow was like, the most exciting part of her life?
51:50
And now it's over, Jenny says. No matter what happens, your
51:53
life will always be exciting because you're totally psycho.
51:57
Melrose laughs and tells Jenny to keep the jacket.
51:59
Rhonda walks in upset, slamming the door behind.
52:01
Her She grabs her belongings and her third case and puts it on
52:05
the bed. Everyone's wondering why she's
52:07
packing up, Rhonda says. She took Danny's great advice
52:10
and went to the consulate and then they sent her to the
52:12
immigration office, and now she has 30 days to leave the
52:15
country. She's been asked to leave and
52:17
then if he doesn't report it, they will deport her, Tammy
52:21
says. They will all go back with her
52:23
tomorrow to fix this. I love that the mom of the group
52:27
is all like, let's go back over there tomorrow.
52:29
We'll talk, we'll we'll have a talk with them.
52:33
Aranda says they can't. She's on the record.
52:35
She can't believe she listened to everyone, that she was
52:36
getting by just fine by herself like she always does.
52:39
And now she has to go back to her alcoholic parents in Bromley
52:43
and have frizzy hair and be miserable anyway, Goodbye
52:45
forever. Carmen immediately sits up in
52:49
the chair with a bong in her hand and says she just has to
52:51
marry an American. Oh my God, cupcake, Mario gels.
52:56
No. Yes, perfect solution, but no,
52:59
she doesn't have a better idea. But no, no Carmen again.
53:04
Like she just had a thought. Oh my God.
53:07
Our final show, Britannica, heartbroken over Thomas, finds
53:10
two love in the arms of her number.
53:11
Her one number, one fan. Pull out all the stuff.
53:15
You guys will get Mary in the ring.
53:16
That is our finale. I am so high.
53:19
This a great idea. Tammy gets in on this.
53:22
OK, one Mary Cupcake. Two, get a green card. 3
53:27
divorced. Cupcake 4 Live Happily Ever
53:30
after Rhonda is heartbroken and sits down thinking this is over.
53:37
Next scene, we see Ruth get out of a cab in front of a house
53:43
that's not hers or Sam's. She makes her way up the first
53:46
set of stairs and realizes she has to go up another flight of
53:48
stairs with her crutches. As she's halfway to the top of
53:51
the stairs, Russell asks if she's breaking into his
53:53
apartment. He gets closer and looks up at
53:55
Ruth, who turns around and shows him the white back from the
53:58
video rental store. She says she bought 3 movies.
54:02
Adam's Rib 1949, directed by George Cacour, starring
54:06
Catherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy.
54:09
Rosemary's Baby 1968, directed by Roman Polanski Starring Mia
54:13
Farrow, John Cassavetti and Ruth Gordon.
54:16
Where is P1970? Directed by Carl Reiner Starring
54:19
George Segal, Ruth Gordon, Paul Sorbino OK, so Adam's rib and
54:26
Where's Papa? And then eight.
54:30
Horror movie, right? Ruth says she hasn't seen Worst
54:35
Papa, but has Ruth Corden in it? Who is her favorite actress?
54:38
Of course. Must go back to the start of the
54:41
season for that one. Russell says he's pretty busy.
54:44
Big Saturday night plans and he only got 3 tacos.
54:46
Though Ruth says she's not hungry, she says she's really
54:50
bad at this. He can't already tell.
54:53
She never had a healthy, uncomplicated romantic
54:55
relationship. Interaction with a man
54:57
relationship, the same thing. Period.
54:59
But she wants to give this a chance.
55:01
She calls him a nice guy. And he's really.
55:04
Consistent. And she knows consistent and
55:05
nice just sounds boring. And that's just something you
55:08
say. We don't like someone's face,
55:09
but she does like his face. She knows she should have said
55:13
something like this weeks ago, but all this crap.
55:15
Got in the way, and then she broke her leg.
55:17
And then you know these stupid crutches are digging into her
55:19
armpits. Russell tells her to stop.
55:22
She literally wets between 2 steps right now.
55:24
You're going to kill yourself. He walks over to her and tries
55:27
to help her, but she kisses him. Russell throws the crutches
55:30
downstairs and just holds her back to the bar with Bash and
55:36
Debbie, who are drunk. Debbie says she's going to send
55:40
Jim Hanson a gift basket. Bash says she just sends him a
55:44
tape. He bet Hanson would be
55:45
interested. This is perfect for Muppets.
55:47
The phone rings again, and Bash answers it, half drunk.
55:50
It's Doctor Chiffon from San Francisco General Hospital.
55:53
He asked. This is about Bertie, his mom.
55:56
Did she fall into the lake at the Tonga Room again?
56:00
She tells him it's about Florian Becker.
56:02
He passed away earlier this evening.
56:05
Bash is listed as emergency contact.
56:09
Bash is quiet, A moment of silence by Genesis Place.
56:13
Bash says that's not possible. Sorry, what now?
56:16
How? How?
56:18
The nurse tells him. Technically pneumonia, she tells
56:21
Bash. You may have trouble finding a
56:22
funeral to take the body, but he visits.
56:25
If he visits the hospital, they could have helped make
56:27
arrangements. Bash blurs that his mom's name
56:30
is Eileen, Same last name. They live in Encino.
56:33
I'm sorry, I can't. And then he hangs up.
56:34
The phone slowly turns around and the pain in his eyes, as
56:41
every insulating is now in slow motion.
56:44
Debbie's grabbing another drink. Everyone's having fun.
56:48
The song continues to play, with the lyrics hitting again.
56:52
See the lonely man there in the corner.
56:54
The camera slowly zooms in, unbashed, his face, surprised
56:57
that this happened, his cheeks red, tears rising down his face.
57:01
He's just waiting for someone to show and nobody knows him and
57:04
nobody cares, 'cause there's no hiding place for you.
57:10
The sing goes. Black and the credits roll what
57:13
the song continues to play. Daniel Reynolds from the website
57:20
advocate.com wrote an article on July 23rd, 2019 and interviewed
57:24
relics Rich, who plays for Florian, about the life tragic
57:28
end of his character and being declared a gay icon.
57:32
She says. He says we're sorry that your
57:36
character passed this season. What will you miss most about
57:39
being on the show? Alex says the people 100% are
57:44
showrunners, casting directors, and everyone else responsible
57:47
for assembling a team. Did a fantastic job at creating,
57:49
collaborating and supporting family of talents and both the
57:51
cast and crew. Florian was my first recording
57:54
role and I'll be forever grateful for how welcome I felt
57:57
on the set. The camaraderie you feel when
58:00
watching is a pure reflection of the reality behind the scenes.
58:06
What will you miss most about playing Florian?
58:08
The cut off jorts and tail goat combo.
58:11
If you can find me a homie that pulls off that ethnicness in
58:14
real life, I'll bring you a family pack of Lucky Charms.
58:20
When asked, where did the idea of Tuxedo George Ensemble came
58:23
from? He said.
58:24
I love that look. Beth Morgan and the brilliant
58:27
costume team dreamt up that iconic and insanely cool combo.
58:31
I wish I had the creativity and style sets to create something
58:34
so hilariously character defining.
58:35
I can't imagine Florian without that element.
58:40
When asked how did you initiative prepare for Florian?
58:43
He says. Oh wow.
58:44
The initial prep feels like a million years ago.
58:47
I remember auditioning being a bit intimidating because I
58:49
didn't feel so comfortable in the comedy space and had to
58:51
navigate this incredible script and tone.
58:54
Florian, though, always felt like a transplant from my high
58:57
school friends, so I tried to revert back to that culture.
59:01
Meeting with the costuming department was also extremely
59:03
helpful in figuring out who Florian was.
59:05
How much fun he could be? He was asked, He is character,
59:12
has a lot of queer fans. What are some memorable messages
59:15
you receive from them? Florian's Square fan base has
59:18
been one of the most rewarding parts of my journey with GLOW.
59:21
The day after the season first season aired, I had a young fan
59:24
reach out expressing how inspired he was by Florian, how
59:27
hard it has been for him growing up, and if I had any advice
59:31
about the pursuit of acting. Another fan.
59:33
An impressive gift naming Florian is a gay icon.
59:37
Another fan created an impressive gift naming Florian a
59:42
gay icon. The conflation of the actor and
59:45
the character can be delicate and intimidating, but I'm so
59:48
humbled by the outpouring of love and the queer audience's
59:50
identification with Florian. Why does Florian inspire such
59:55
love? He says.
59:56
Florian's bash of relationship is so charming, loving, and
1:00:00
uncluttered that I think their dynamic and refreshing and
1:00:02
underrepresented on TV. They feel real supportive and
1:00:06
unconnected and connected in a way that we don't often see.
1:00:10
To be able to craft a relationship that is so
1:00:12
lighthearted, fun and simple without losing the ups and downs
1:00:14
that make intimacy humans is a true testament to the writer's
1:00:17
brilliance and Chris Lowell's. Here in our city as an actor,
1:00:21
Florian feels like a puppy. The wide eyed and loving
1:00:24
optimism, sky high curls and hilarious down make him really
1:00:27
hard to hate when he was asked what did you know?
1:00:32
Your character was queer. He.
1:00:34
Says I had a hunch that Florian might be queer when I read that
1:00:37
initial script for the audition. I couldn't think of another
1:00:40
logical reason for this young Malibu Malibu surfer.
1:00:43
Dude to be. A Butler in his friend's house.
1:00:46
Throughout this entire first season, I felt like we were
1:00:48
teetering on the edge of those definitions and then dynamic,
1:00:51
and that process felt very exciting and genuine.
1:00:54
I half expected A twist and Florence falling in love with
1:00:57
one of the gorgeous ladies, but I love that we explored the
1:00:59
duplicity and subtlety of this queer identity.
1:01:04
Describe Florian's relationship with Bash.
1:01:06
Florian and Bash exist in that strange charge space I think we
1:01:11
all know too well. We never see them cross that
1:01:14
line, but there seems to be an electric electricity between
1:01:17
them and the familiarity that makes their dynamics so human
1:01:19
and relatable. They've known each other since
1:01:22
they were kids, live together, and clearly love each other very
1:01:25
deeply, even if the nature that love is up for debate.
1:01:30
Fans have interpreted hermorotic subjects to your relationship.
1:01:33
How much of that was unintentional in your acting?
1:01:36
The intention was definitely there, but the complexity and
1:01:39
reality of the relationship comes from disability and lack
1:01:42
of clarity with their dynamic. There's more than this interview
1:01:46
when I want to save it for next week for containing spoilers on
1:01:49
the next episode. Truthfully, Episode 9 brought it
1:01:54
home. The good twin was a fun episode,
1:01:57
but here everything is a mess. Rhonda possibly getting
1:02:01
deported, Ruth helping Sam with life, and Devi and Bash
1:02:06
whispering all over the convention to have executives by
1:02:09
Al glow. What really drove it was the
1:02:11
crushing finale of that happy episode.
1:02:14
Just when you think you're going to have a good time and we're
1:02:17
almost over and is close with a happy ending along, come to
1:02:20
phone call to slap you right in your face and tell you there's a
1:02:24
bad news. Your best friend who you've
1:02:27
known says children, childhood and constancy wrestling with has
1:02:30
passed away and that's sad that. That right there got to me.
1:02:45
That's going to do it for me for this episode.
1:02:47
We will be back next week with another episode review of GLOW
1:02:51
on Netflix. I forget.
1:02:55
If you've heard the show from its inception, Dan, you've heard
1:02:59
of diabetes episodes. Next month is the three-year
1:03:02
anniversary of when I was diagnosed with diabetes.
1:03:05
Yes, I celebrate it every year since I got in 2021.
1:03:09
So to me, it's going to be a diabetes awareness month.
1:03:12
I'm going to do lots of things on the social, so watch out for
1:03:15
that. And if you can support by
1:03:17
posting the hashtag wrestling with diabetes, I'll be posting
1:03:21
on Twitter the threads a little dancing dance on the TikTok
1:03:24
bringing awareness on Instagram. I'm going to try the best I can,
1:03:27
