Hi, it's Hannah Burner. And Des Bishop. Thanks for calling the burner phone. If you leave a message after the tone, we may have to make it into a podcast. Hello, little dialers. We are back in action. And we have a fun little episode today because we are using your guys' knowledge to benefit our lives, which I guess is kind of like every pod. yeah but you know

it's it's a very nostalgic episode because we love because we put out the prompt which was what is your favorite old movie from before yeah but the funny thing is that you said old movie right

yeah and in my mind I thought every you know because we have a broad age variation between our listeners you know I thought every generation an old movie would be different but actually we got a lot more old movies like as in like really old like black and white yeah like like and then a lot of

people who gave movies that i would consider the correct recommendation for this episode were like i'm not sure this is old but it's like it's 20 years ago yeah oh god someone said like everything everything feels like it's the year 2000 and then before that is before like we don't count these last 20 years at all i know You know, because at the end of the day, 2004 is 20 years ago. Ah! You know, so. Oh, geez.

And, like, in the 80s, in 1984, a movie from 20 years ago was 1964, you know? So, like, to me, a movie from 1964 was ancient. Well, guys. When I was a kid. Life flies by. That's what they say. But I have to say that this has been, for me, the most fun I had going through the prompts. Wow.

Because, you know, there were some movies that I, either hadn't seen or I hadn't seen in so long, I went and watched the trailers. Oh my God. I'm very nostalgic. Can I tell you that I was crying earlier? Because I did this early this morning. I woke up with jet lag.

And when we get to it, I'll tell you the movie, I was literally crying. Tears pouring down my face here, watching the trailer. You're more of a movie crier than me. Oh, but if you, well, I asked you already this morning and when we get to it, you haven't seen this movie but like if you don't cry at this movie like you need to be committed

to an institution i don't like crying in movies i'm like i'm just trying to have a good day and next thing you know movies making me upset i don't like to feel my feelings unless it's pure joy and happiness i do have to say i have to let everyone know i'm actually not that good with movies i feel like i haven't seen a lot of movies yes but i also want to point out that 50% of the time on this podcast, you say, I don't really have a lot to say on this topic. And then you have an incredible amount to say on the topic. You like to do that at the beginning. I know. I think I'm under promise over deliver. That's my strategy. Can I contradict us here? I want to start with somebody who sent in not a criticism of the prompt, but sort of criticism of the topic,

which I think is a nice energy to begin the podcast. Yes. This isn't, uh, Um, really an answer to the prompt. I just want to say that I hate. I hate when this topic comes up in conversations and people are like, oh my gosh, you haven't watched that. Oh my God, you haven't never. How can you ever have lived your life up to this point without having watched that movie? I'm like, yeah, there are a million movies out there. What's your, like I don't get it. And it pisses me off. And it's not like I'm ever going to have the time to watch every single movie. And we all have different preferences. So. And I don't know, it just pisses me off when this topic comes up in conversation and I was kind of mad that this was the prompt this week. But you know what though? That's so valid. But here's my other thing about that

when somebody goes, oh my God, how have you not seen this movie? And I'm always like, oh my God, I have to see that movie? And then every time I sit down and go, what was that movie? I can't fucking remember. No, never. You got to write it into your notes. Oh, but there's two types of people in this world. The person when they go, have you seen this movie

and you lie? And you just say yes. Yeah, but then you get jammed up. the conversation. Well, and they're like, yeah, what was that the third scene? What happened in the third scene? Yeah, or like, you know, they talk about the big moment. Oh, they'll be like, and then when everyone died and you're like, okay.

Yeah, but, you know, the thing is that what I think will be good about this episode, because, well, it's already been like this for me, and I think the listener will get the same. I have a lot of movies that I haven't seen that I want to see because of this. Well, I do have to say, the summer's upon us, and for the summer, we want to lounge. You know, we want to lie down, watch some nice movies, relax. and me and you are guilty of being that couple that's like there's nothing to watch there's nothing to watch there's nothing that's all done and especially with amazon we finish Netflix we finished Amazon we finish Max there's a big back catalog and you like even when you're on a delta flight you see all these old movies like I know if I started watching when I'd be into it but I can't I just for some reason I have this resistance to clicking the button yeah I feel like you need something like this is the thing that kind of breaks through the resistance and goes yes click on that yeah well they say word of mouth is the best way to you convince people to do something now i said to you that i you said what's my movie and i said i think your movie's in here and i tell me tell me if i'm wrong i'm gonna this is what i think would have

been your movie okay okay um mean girls i don't know if it's considered old it's like 20 years old if 20 is considered old i'm 23 like fuck but okay still i don't think a lot of people maybe like younger than me have like seen Mean Girls the 20, 2004 one. I think it's just like really important. The jokes, the...

It's just very important. I think before going to high school and college, everyone should have to go and see Mean Girls. Like if I ever have kids going to be one of the first movies I showed on my turn 13 or honestly before, I don't know. I'm not a parent.

Um, but yeah, Mean Girls, bye. Wait, I'm obsessed with him. Okay, Des chose this because there was a moment when I said to you, have you seen Mean Girls? And he was like, no. No, I've seen Mean Girls. Oh, you were like, yeah, kind of, like, a while ago. I've seen Mean Girls, but, like, only once and, like, it's not my quotable movie. And, like, I, but the thing with, I don't even think that I quote Mean Girls.

It's become larger than Mean Girls. It's just like... I feel like mean girls is a big cultural touchstone for your generation and I think actually probably for women in general probably even women of my generation

because I was in my 20s when that came out I mean that was a big movie I think I went to the movies to see that Blackout on TV Paige came up to me at a party and said

How many boyfriends can you have and I quoted Mean Girls Blackout and said The Limit does not exist So it's yeah It was so powerful. Actually, our school had to sit down all the girls after this movie came out after a couple weeks because all the girls started being like, I want to have a click.

Like, it actually kind of backfired because all the girls wanted to like name their own clicks. And they were like, guys, we're not doing this click bullshit. But like, that's also just high school and people figuring their stuff out. But like we had to have the same thing that happened in the movie, we had to have at our school where they had to sit down all the girls. And we're like, can you guys stop being like, main. to each other. And do you think that the term mean girls, which is bandied about a lot these days, was it as

No, it created the term. It created the term mean, you know what it is? It's less about like the details of the movie, the plot. It was, it became culturally significant, especially to just like every woman's life. And every, everything is quotable from it. And I said, I mean, May 3rd, every year on May 3rd, you see people go, What's the date? May 3rd. It's when she's obsessed with the guy in front of her,

and she's just asking him different questions, and he turns, and he goes, May 3rd. The best thing, she has a crush on Aaron Samuels, and then the hot girl starts dating him, of course, and she can tell that Lindsay Lohan likes him, and she goes, don't you think his hair looks sexy push back? Tell him his hair looks sexy push back. So those are things that we quote all the time,

like if someone just goes like this, I go, your hair looks sexy pushback. Like these It's part of who you are It's part of who I am But I would argue It's not my favorite movie Right

It's just A A serious cultural Part of my life But it's a movie that needs to be seen A hundred percent I love how he's like When I have a kid

For my unborn child They have to watch it They have to watch this But there is a There's a dubious morality Right? Because in the end Lindsay Lohen's character

Also becomes Well yeah So then while she's infiltrate the group she becomes one of the mean I'm getting chills there's a lot there's a lot going on in mean girls a lot going on it's spectacular I remember the iconic movie but you know what sucks when you're so passionate about a movie or even just a YouTube video and you want someone to watch it you're like so obsessed with their experience of watching it you like can't enjoy it and then they never seem to enjoy it the way you want them to enjoy it why is that just the way it is you can't

put that pressure on people I mean we've had those experiences experiences together. Now, I want to play this one because this, to my surprise, was the one that came through the most. This is the movie amongst Berthaphone listeners that came through the most as the movie that must be watched or re-watched. Here we go. Hey, Hannah and Des. One of my favorite movies to show people, and they haven't seen it before, is when Harry met Sally. if only because so many rom-com inventions came from that movie and the interviews style movie thing and the twist ending and things like that it's just the original and it's like billy crystal and as the traditional new york lead who's not like your most handsome guy but he's funny and became staples of the genre and i know when i showed my wife for the first time it was uh something cool for her to see because she's a little younger and she really appreciated the beginnings of a lot of the rom-coms we see today thanks guys who knew that the movie genre was going to bring in all the

guys who knew they're the men i'm only reading them so i don't know that they're men and it just so happens that the first two are men well the men have stepped it up because you can mansplain in a movie but this was a very they're not talking about themselves they're talking about other This was a good, I think he gave a good reason. I do have to say with when Harry met Sally, that's so valid. For me, it was one of those things where someone was like, oh, yeah, you should watch this because it's inspired a lot. And I was like, oh, that's cool, but I never felt like that connected to it. I think I, like, saw it once.

Yeah, but you probably came to it after seeing movies that were inspired by it. So then it doesn't feel as fresh. It doesn't feel as fresh. However, it does have the very, like, how many times have this conversation happened since the great debate can men and women really be friends so i saw a tic-tok recently saying that guys want to be friends with girls they're attracted to and girls want to be friends with guys they're not attracted to because i think billy crystal saying men and women can't be friends that basically like the guy always always really wants to fuck you yeah i think if i recall which i

agree with which i agree with yeah um and in the end they're kind of right it's 100% true Because they end up, you know, it doesn't work out for them, friendship-wise. I do have to say at the end of the day, like, if you're getting along with, if a guy is getting along with a girl so much that he wants to spend his time with her over his boys, that's your wife. And then for a girl, if you feel comfortable around him, like, you love him. Yeah. I mean, it is always a complicated dynamic. But I feel like if a woman is going to end up. being with her friend it'll be more later on when she gets like really comfortable with him

whereas a guy early on will just be like I want to fuck you there's some sort of instinctual yeah and what I meant before is kind of like there is no true friendships between a straight guy and a girl like it's never going to be like two girls or two guys because I really do think the guy's always attracted to the girl and the girl is not attracted to the dude so it just becomes this weird, like, kind of chase. Like, the girl likes the attention. I mean, I don't 100% agree with that. Like, I have a couple of good female friendships that are not that.

But, I mean, maybe there was an element. Would they be friends with you if you weren't handsome? Well, I'm saying that perhaps at the beginning, part of it may have been an attraction from one end of the other. Yeah. But, like, those friendships have blossomed into, like, very solid friendships. Yeah, I don't 100% agree with the premise. But I do think that a lot of people are in denial.

What? Yeah. Like as a girl, I, or girls are always like, he wants to affect me. And you kind of like the attention, but it's like if, with a girl, if you are attracted to him and you're friends with him, you're going to be like, okay, I like you. Yeah, you're going to be let down in the end. It's going to break your heart when he falls in love with somebody else. Or he falls in love with you.

Or like every time he falls in love, you find a way of just like getting in his head. Sabotaging it. Honestly, she's a bitch. And, of course, and it came up recently, I think we talked about it on the pod, that you weren't aware that Katz's Deli is kind of famous, but then famous for the iconic line, I'll have what she's having. And then Richard Gad yesterday, Richard Gad of Baby Rain Deer fame, who happens to be in New York, not a name drop. This is just I follow him. So we're not name dropping him. On his story, he's in Katz's Deli, which coincidentally enough is around the corner from where we are right now, saying, I'll have what she's having.

It is an iconic moment in comedy. Wasn't she having like a salad? Like it wasn't even like a traditional Jewish jelly meal. I mean, I don't know. It's not about what she was eating. It's about the fake orgasm. And then the woman says, you know, it's some like old Jewish woman next to us. I'll have what she's having.

Shout out to comedy writers out there. I feel like comedy never gets what it deserves. Amen. Because you know like songs that someone will write and people will just sing it for the rest of their life and that beautifulness of you wrote a song. song, I don't know what it feels like, but they're like, I wrote a song of this generation. It's the same thing with comedy movies. Like, whoever wrote the line, I'll have what she's having.

That's infiltrated everyone's, like, conversational comedy culture. And I would like to add, because another person that had messaged in about when Harry Met Sally pointed out that also it normalized female orgasms. There was a sense of normalizing orgasm and also normalizing the fact that women can fake orgasms you know so that that was actually it's a culturally opening moment see the problem is that when you watch it if you watch it 15 20 years after the fact exactly you don't realize that at the time it was a huge breakthrough talk about female orgasms yeah also her performing that was so vulnerable but like also so hot and so confident and cool of her i mean she was an iconic rom-com actress

of that time obviously not the best plastic surgery after but you know it's you can't be critical of her because at the end of the day it's an industry that champions youth particularly for women and she just got to an age where suddenly the Meg Ryan superpower disappears and you know she chased it and there's a sadness there's a fucked up

thing to that which I wouldn't totally blame on her no but she was iconic for so long and so cute you know what I watched more sleepless in Seattle yes and that's a follow that's a yeah and that's another cracker and that that did come through yeah but I do have to say when Harry

At Sally. It's hard to... Oh, sorry. Sleepless in Seattle wasn't that You've got mail. You've got mail. You've got mail. I get all of them confused.

They're all the same movie to me. It's just so funny because at the time that was such a know, you've got mail. And now that seems so ancient. Yeah, that movie is so like different now because of technology. But it was such a lot of people go to the top of the Empire State Building for that.

Oh, for sure. Was that you've got mail or is that Sleepers in Seattle? Sleepers in Seattle maybe. Oh, God. Because it was like about... I don't fuck. Actually, no. I could be, don't listen to anything.

I mean, there's so many movies here. I don't know where to go. Yeah. Like, I, I feel like. Can you do this one next? You say it out loud. My cousin Vinnie. Oh yeah.

Oh, yeah. Great. So we got a lot of those. Wait, can I do my performance first? I think I don't want to listen to it first? You don't want to. No, I want to lead in with my performance. Okay, what's your performance?

Imagine you're Rizier and you're prancing along. You spot a brook. You put your little dea lips down to the cool, clear water. And then bam! A fucking bullet hits you in the head. You think you give a fuck with the guy who shot you was wearing? I'm not really into movies. Hey Anna, he does.

Love you both, obviously. I don't know if this counts as like an old movie, but one of my favorite movies of all time is my cousin Vinnie. With who's that Marisa, Marissa Tomei. That little scene, the little D-Alipps up to the question. cool clear water bam

oh my god gets me every time if you haven't seen it you need to see it okay that's all love you bye

Hannah jumping all over the prompt I mean as an look she has great taste as an Italian American it was fucking hysterical but in general

I think you don't have to be Italian American it's hysterical because this and then not only And the funny thing is it's like

I don't know if this is an old movie it's like minimum 25 years It was like the 80s Or early 90s Yeah When he's young

Yes The thing about that movie too Is the actual plot Of this like Um It was it a murder case They were being falsely accused Of a murder

Yeah It was actually so good With like How he as a lawyer Ended up like They're not gonna give anything away There's issues around southern racism Southern racism with Italians

That's hysterical I never heard of grits Until I saw my cousin Vinca That's actually The most New York I did I've ever But you know, it's crazy? Still to this day, I think I'm funny with grits because to me, grits was like this weird thing from my cousin Vinny.

It's funny. I think it might have been the first time I heard about grits too that I was like, what's a grit? You never heard of grits? I think I've- No, that's what the waiter says in the movie. Yeah. I mean, it is so fucking hilarious. But also that scene is so funny because he looks at his wife and he's like, what should I wear to go hunting?

And he's like putting out of this outfit. And then she goes on this whole fucking rant that is so good. My biological clock is ticking. Yeah, like a bang, bang, bang, bang, she hits the floor. Yeah, she's hitting the floor. Her outfits, her performance. She was won an Oscar for that, right? I mean, she should.

I think she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for My Cousin Vinny. I just love when you watch these older movies where the comedy holds up. It holds up. Comedy holding up is a big concept, you know. So I feel like there's a lot of movies that you'll watch from the 90s that you end up cringing so much Herman Munster as the fucking judge

by the way Fred Gwyn did you see you probably didn't grow up watching the monsters right no because the monsters were like on like Channel 5 during the day like reruns of this like black and white series

he's great in it so the fact that the fact that Herman Munster and he died like very soon after oh yeah now I just want to say one thing on my cousin Vinny before we move off it which is today when this came up

even though actually my TikTok I got into my cousin Vinnie algorithm. Oh, I want to get on that. So lately, actually, my cousin Vinnie clips have been coming up. So this was kind of a coincidence. But then I watched the trailer. And my only problem is that I find Joe Pesci harder to enjoy now. Because when Chenade O'Connor tore up a picture of the Pope, which actually was iconic.

And I remember not being critical of it at the time, but I'm certainly even less critical of it now, knowing what we know about the Catholic Church. but he went on Saturday Live the next week and he was like when I saw I would have given her if I saw her I would have given her such a smack and he you know he's real Italian American Catholic and you know of course I'll give him the benefit of the doubt it's of its time it seemed like outlandish

and probably in his world it was the most insulting thing of all time and he was probably like everyone was happy he said that probably yeah but he was offended you know it's funny because they're the same people now who will be like oh you can't say anything anymore but they were heavily offended even though she was ahead of her time

she was basically saying that the church is corrupt and that there's abuse in the church and that's why she tore up a picture of the pope yes you know she was ahead of her time she was way ahead of her time and and she blew her whole career for it to take a stand you know young people

don't understand like how it's it's actually like good for your career now to take those type of positions but back then it was suicide because she was really talking truth to power actually talking truth to power now you're actually you could almost be pandering sometimes taking a position like that yeah the antithesis of like performative yeah could be i'm not saying all is but anyway when i i i was never able to stay up late enough to watch sad night life

so i did not watch the following week obviously i knew about shenado connor irish american know she fucking icon to me i think it was already living in ireland was she nothing compares to you one of the greatest performances ever that she was just singing right or she was just singing right Yeah, she was on. She was, no, she was the, yeah, the musical guest. Maybe she was hosting, too. I don't know. Yeah.

But she tore up a picture of the Pope. Anyway, I don't want to go on about it too long. But Joe Pesci, disappointing, I have to say. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he's grown, but that was disappointing, especially because it was kind of violent. Yeah, I do also want to say about old movies, when you watch some of these rom-coms from the 90s,

especially in early 2000s, it's crazy how small all the girls' lips look. because no one's had their lips done so all the beautiful girls just have like normal or even just like thin lips but that was beautiful back then where nowadays you don't realize every single actress has her lips injected you won't see one thin-lipped girl in a music video in a rom-com it's nowhere to be found which is just like a cultural trend right now but also yeah back then there's all these like little side jokes about like that are just like harassy about women, just like women being objects in all these movies in the 90s. Now this is one, I don't think we'll have much to say about it, but I want to share this moment together

because I had never heard of this movie. I was convinced that you were going to be like, oh my God, that's iconic, but I think you also haven't seen it. So let's have a listen. Let's see. Favorite old movie that people need to watch is Drop Dead Gorgeous.

It is a fucking fantastic ensemble of amazing female actresses Denise Richards Kirsten Duntz Britney Murphy Allison Janie Christy Alley

like just Chef's Kiss and not enough people I feel like know how great it He disappeared but can I just play one more because it came up a lot and I was surprised because I had never heard

That cast is spectacular Let's hear what somebody else says because I can't believe how good this trailer look. Ring, ring, hey, burner phone. The ultimate cult classic old movie that everyone has to see is definitely drop-dead gorgeous. It has Kirsten Dunst and Denise Richards battling it out in a mockumentary film style, a pageant movie. It has Kirstie Alley, Britney Murphy, Amy Adams. it's Midwest it's 90s it's everything you want for a sleepover movie if you haven't seen it

you have to watch it it's an instant classic you will love it one of my favorites how the hell haven't i can't when i watch this trailer i was like how the fuck has this movie passed me by now maybe the trailer just has all the good bits but it's incredible like the trailer is incredible Cursey, Ali, I mean, whatever. She's a Scientologist, but we won't get into that. Babe, I think she's dead. Oh, yeah, she's dead, too. So is Britney Murphy.

There's a lot of dead people in this. Oh, my God. Yeah. Shut up, Britney Murphy. What an incredible talent. Oh, my God. And sketchy way she ended her life. Like, we don't know what happened.

I know. So, like, we're watching. Anyway, the reason why I. But maybe because it's all women in the 90s is why the movie wasn't talked about more. The comedy stylings, like ahead of its time? I'm, I can't wait to watch it. Yeah, like, we're watching that. Yeah.

So, and by the way, like, I don't think I would have appreciated the, the Midwestern humor of it at that time, because I just was, like, so unexposed to it. I feel like a bit more aware of, like, the different sort of types of American culture in more recent times. And it has a, it's like, it's like, Fargo without, like, murder. Like, it's, it's, I can't believe that you haven't seen. I thought it was about murder because it says drop dead.

No, no, drop dead. It's about a beauty pageant, but it's in the mockumentary style, which like, Wow. I guess that was kind of popular at that time, you know? Maybe when they started some reality TV type stuff. Yeah, kind of like best in show kind of a vibe. But you know, when you said there's this movie about beauty pageant, I thought immediately of miscongeniality.

Yes. Have you seen it? No. Oh, yeah. It's definitely a classic with Sandra Bullock. Yes. I mean, I can literally see the poster. Yeah.

There was this, I mean, she looked amazing in it, but there was this time where every movie with a woman. was about they're this ugly she was an ugly like FBI agent or whatever like they made her look ugly and ugly is in quotations yes and but you know she had like furry brows and like wearing slouchy outfits and then they're like okay we're gonna put you in this um beauty pageant because she was like undercover for something and she comes out and she's like the most gorgeous it's the same with like the guys who were like I'm gonna date that nerdy girl in school and then the nerdy girl becomes hot like they loved that transformation in the 90s I didn't it was really it was a thing yes well you know then let's just play this right on topic hi guys um big fan over here love what you guys

you guys it's been a good time listening um but my favorite movie she's all that scoffrey prince junior and paul walker that's all mic drop two beautiful 90s men okay bye a girl's wearing glass and they're like she's a fucking nerd and she takes off the glasses and they're like she's the hot she's not look at those tits well i'd never seen it but i watched the trailer i watched the trailer this morning and i was like oh like there's a lot of this yeah because then okay let's keep a theme okay because this was this to me is the is is the 80s version of that which i i've watched this movie like a hundred times hi hannah and des i think that one old movie that everyone needs to see is Can't Buy Me Love with Patrick Dempsey.

I think he's like 19 or 20 in it. It's filmed in Tucson, which is so niche. And the house that, like the main house that is based in the movie is still there. Fun fact. And yeah, it's just a cute movie with baby Patrick Dempsey. Highly, highly recommend. Also, great soundtrack, obviously, if you can't tell by the name, Can't Buy Me Love. there you go never heard of it so yeah i know it's interesting because to me when i when i

watched the trailer because can't buy me love had already come through on the prompts and i was like oh my god for me a fucking huge movie when i was young and then when i saw the trailer for she's all that i was like wow this is the this is the flip right uh it because for some reason i can't remember why but she dates that the coolest girl in school ends up dating a nerd for oh for money she needs money she spills red wine on a leather jacket uh-huh her mom's leather jacket and she needs money and he offers to pay for it

if she'll date him for a month and it makes him cool and it's that journey and then he actually becomes cool and she's like wait do I like him and then it all breaks down because her college boyfriend comes back you're dating that fucking nerd

and then it comes out that he paid her to date and then he loses all his popular hurdy but anyway I won't give away the ending it does kind of remind me a little bit of back to the future I think was one of my favorite movies. And I was

reading one of these random BuzzFeed articles about how he wasn't originally casted. Yeah, Eric Stoltz. It was a different guy and they started filming and just wasn't working. He didn't have the comic timing. He was a very serious actor, Eric Stoltz. Yeah, but I mean, fucking cutthroat industry to be like, yeah, I got this role for this huge movie. And then

they're like, actually never mind. And you're like, I'll do it better, I swear! But Patrick actually, he kind of disappeared for like over a decade And now people know him for the doctor series or whatever. Oh, that's magic. He must have been so cute when he was younger. To me, he was always Can't Buy Me Love. He's McDreamy.

He's a Daddy now. I can't get Campi. I can't, like how many times I watch Can't Buy Me Love. Yeah. I do think they're, again, nostalgia's so in. I think because of technology we can now like see more things from the past. But I love when you just know an older actress because you're like, yeah, that's so-and-so. But you don't actually know her breakup.

role. So like to watch people's breakout roles is actually very exciting. And there was a lot of that. Like when I when well actually when the parent trap came up. Oh. So let's let's play the parent trap quick. Okay. Favorite movie would be the parent trap with Lindsay Lohan. I think that every woman should have the younger women in their lives watch it because it's just such a good movie, you can binge it multiple times and never gets old. A couple life lessons, like, even if you're separated with your twin at birth, you will find each other and have the best life ever. You're going to, like, you know, see your parents who've been separated for what, over a decade, like, they'll just reconnect. It happens, I guess, you know, hope. And another great

lesson like going to summer camp and you know some chick from the other side of the world's gonna pierce your ears and everything will be fine so yeah parent trip love you guys but what i found fascinating when i watched the trailer was it was like whoever the the guys the father's the actor day i forgot and then natasha richison was the mother and then it was like and introducing lindsay lohan i was like wow this is the moment this is when it comes out and out. Lindsay Lohan, the chokehold she had on our culture. Actually, one of my favorite movies that I don't think is talked enough with

Lindsay Lohan is Freaky Friday with Jamie Lee Curtis. Well, I haven't seen it. We'll watch it together. I think they are going to make another one, but Jamie Lee Curtis is so hysterical, so funny. She's in, actually, she's in the next movie I want to bring up, but there's a couple themes from the parent trap that I think is very interesting, that I notice comes up a lot throughout all these 80s, 90s, early 2000s movies is sabotaging the relationship of your separated parents.

So like there's a lot of themes of like, I hate my dad's new girlfriend. Yes. It really basically made you feel like at any point your parents were going to get divorced and your dad was going to have an annoying blonde. Yes. That was going to try to ruin your life. I did fairness, it's not new. The wicked stepmother is...

Cinderella. Yeah, it's a trope that's been going on for a very long time. That is so funny. Except the wicked stepmother in modern times has fake tits. Yeah. They're like dumb. The wicked stepmother is no longer wicked. They're just fucking stupid.

Anyway, Freaky Friday was another one of those mom movies. You would have liked it because basically the mom and the daughter just like, it's classic, you're ruining my life. That was like a quote from Freaky Friday. Like the teenager going, you're ruining my life. Yes. And she hates the mom, and they're not understanding each other. And they're both stressed for different ways.

And they're fighting at a Chinese restaurant. And something happens with the people working at the Chinese restaurant with a, they open up a fortune cookie. And it creates this, like, crazy thing that they switch. They wake up in the morning. And Lindsay Lohan. Is her mom? It is the mom.

But like they look, how they look. So then the mom is her as a teenager, and she's, like, dating the hot guy. She has to do a performance, and they end up bonding by trying to make sure they could, like, live that life. Not screw up in the other person's life. But they also start to understand each other's life. Look, I have, I have. Oh, my God, chills again. Chills again.

Hala gets chills when she remembers life lessons. One day you'll understand. You know that was the name of one of my shows. Life lessons? No, one day you'll understand. The concept of parents always let you know that actually one day it'll make sense. When she has to kiss her like, I think it's, again, she was divorced, so it's this guy, and she has to kiss him, and she's like, ew.

But yeah, it was beautiful. And the soundtrack was amazing too. So speaking of wicked sort of stepmothers, Jamie Lee Curtis plays, she's actually a good character, but the daughter isn't wild about her. But when I, first of all, I'm going to play. this and then we'll talk about it. Hey guys. I would want people to watch my girl um because it's the first movie that I ever cried at in my life and it's the movie that showed me that I have emotions and empathy towards other people um it's really fucking sad but it was necessary for my

emotional development. And it's funny because the minute she said my girl, I was like, oh, that's a sad one. So then I went and I watched the trailer and then I watched the famous scene, which you'll need to, I highly recommend watching it because I was bald and crying here again this morning. I don't want to. But no, but it's so good because it's these two, it's McCauley Culkin and the girl's name I can't remember. But they have this like incredible friendship.

and it's like the beginning of understanding about love and affection and but you know it's so beautiful and innocent but she also has a crush on her teacher and there's like this crazy thing about like unrequited love there's like I actually can't believe how many deep messages particularly around laws it's insanely good and there's this crazy subtext because the dad is a fucking undertaker Dan Aykroyd the girl's dad is an undertaker oh wow and so there's like death around them the whole time. I never realized how sneakily they help young people to understand death. You haven't seen it. That's the way you're not as comfortable with death. I think everyone needs to watch my girl to understand grief. It's like insanely subtle too. I couldn't believe when I watched

it again. I was like, oh my God. This doesn't get enough credit for like how deep this is. And it's not just like mellow drama. Yeah. Like it's it's okay. I will watch it. It's for some reason. Macaulay In his heyday. Why isn't he acting? He's had a tough life. Okay. Because his brother's out here in these streets.

I know. But McCauley, though, was the real child star who... He's a classic top five child stars who had problems later in their life. He's with like a nice Disney star now. Yeah, but he's had some real addiction issues. You know, I think he sued his parents, didn't it? I mean, there was like money. Yeah.

It's a lot of... It's very dramatic. What happens when the brightest minds in sports and fashion and join forces to create the next great athletic brand.

But compared to

today's horror films, there is just a complete lack of computer, any computer animation. And I would also argue that the original one is better than the second and the third movie that were made. So did you see Carrie? No. You've never seen Carrie? No. Oh my God. I'm literally going to be the guy from the beginning of the episode. I thought you'd seen Carrie. Like C-A-R-R-I-E? Yeah. Brian DePama, Sissy Spaceix League character, John Travolta, young John Travolta.

I love a young John Travolta. A young Mary Elizabeth Mastria and Tony or whatever her. You know, she was the girl from Scarface, the sister from Scarface? I've never. Oh, my God. And also what people don't know about Des, he loves a horror movie. Yeah, but the thing about this horror movie, because I'm not going to say, too much because I don't want any spoilers for this because I feel like a lot of your

list your fans will have not seen Harry and it holds up I actually watched it again not that long ago like yeah it totally holds up because there's big themes of high school and bullying but also what your generation love supernaturalism okay kinetic super kinetic powers okay there's so there's super kinetic is that what it is that's what they call them isn't it super kinetic but and and and And a domineering mother, controlling mother, heavy themes of religion. But really, most importantly, themes of bullying. And then the toxic release that comes from revenge.

I love anything with revenge and I love anything with a twist at the end. And it's also like, obviously there's supernatural power. So this will sound stupid. But it's like she says, there's no CGI. There's, it's very kind of like believable. Like you connect. more to the to the horror the actual horror which is not like it's not there is blood in it but it's not like slasher horror yeah i don't like that no but it's it's it's tragedy horror and

it's it's fucking scary and i'm not i'm not going to give away anything but all i'm saying is that like throughout the movie there are moments where you're like this is iconic i was not a fan of when horror movies became just like gore like saw three and fucking final destination it was just Like how more, that was a time. How more fucked up can people die? And I like literally just, I hated all that. Um, I mean, there's so many. So it's hard for me to pick, you know.

What's a movie that you would pick? I have so many, but like, I love the French movie La Hen, which sounds pretentious, but it was actually a big movie in 1994, 1995. I never saw it. Yeah. And we need to watch that together. Coincidentally enough, Killinghamer, during interviews leading up to Oppenheimer, was also mentioning that as his favorite movie,

which is funny because I saw it in college in Cork when it came out and I saw it in Cork and I feel like... You saw it with him? No, I didn't see it with him, but I just feel like I'm not surprised because it's that time, right? 18, 19 years old and it's so fucking good. Vincent Cassell is the main guy.

And coincidentally enough went on to marry Monica Baluci, who you know I mentioned to you as a woman that I found very attractive in my youth. But I wasn't surprised. that it's also affected him because it's about poverty. Well, actually, they say it in the movie. It's about a society in free fall, you know? Just because see a man jumps off the building.

And while he's falling, he says, just because he's too far bien, not so bad. Just because see to Fabien, not so bad. And then I'm not going to give away the punchline on that. But, you know, it's really about urban decay. It's pretty heavy. This is not a feel-good movie. But the soundtrack, French hip-hop, That's how I discovered French hip-hop.

I love French hip-hop. I can't speak French, but like when they're like, Eschavu, should not want to say to the force, it's like, it's amazing. Wait, I want to learn French. Well, we should watch, I actually, I keep meaning to watch it together with you. But it's, but it's heavy jelly. Yeah. But it's like, it's like young guys.

Heavy jelly. Can we say that more heavy jelly? It's heavy jelly, man. It's heavy jelly. This also reminds me of Saturday Night Fever is like my parents' favorite movie. so they let me watch it but then they wouldn't let me watch certain scenes and one of them now I realized

was the scene where the friend like jumps off the bridge oh right and they would be like you can't watch this scene and I'd have to like go in the other room I don't think I've ever watched the entirety of that movie I think we should that we should I mean that was like New York that movie is New York and the dancing

I mean what a time I know and listen I'm gonna play out I'm gonna play out so many of these because like there's just so many good ones It's just hard for me to like... Well, I think this is why people have full just like podcasts about movies, like the whole thing.

By the way, shout out to Janine Garofalo. She's fucking, she's in like five of the recommendations. Like, it's kind of like forgotten how many movies she was in. Dude, shout out to Janine Garoflo who nicely went into one of my hand in the street videos is always just hanging out the stand.

So nice. It doesn't get enough credit for how big she was. Loves Ireland. Okay, here's a night. Come on, this has to be spoken about. Hey, Hannah and does. So the movie that's old that lives rent-free in my mind is the Princess Bride. And after looking at it, I thought it was like from the 90s, early 2000s, like late 90s, early 2000s.

Turns out it was made in 1987. What? But anyway, that's the movie people need to watch. Still holds up to this day. Inconceivable. Yeah. Yeah. I've never seen it.

You've never, oh, oh my God, we're getting to this part of the podcast. What? How could you have never seen the princess? How could you be in comedy and never seen the princess bride? You just scared Butter. Yes, because even Butter can't believe you haven't seen the Princess Bride. My name is Nigel Montoyo. You killed my father.

Prepared to die. You haven't seen it. I just remember, no, there's like a big guy in it and he's like throwing. Andre the Giant? He's, there's a big guy. Oh my God, Lord. Give me strength. There's a big guy.

He's like throwing the guy around. Zorro. Andre the Giant. Yeah. Yeah. It is an iconic comedy. This must be watched, but here's the thing. For Princess Bride fans, I want to know, please leave a message in the comments. How long were you watching Homeland, the series Homeland, before you realized that Saul was Enigo Montoyo, or however you say that name, which I always forget. Oh, I didn't realize that. Well, you didn't see that. the princess bride so why would you care well i saw homeland yeah but he is uh can you look up actually how you say the name of uh my name is if you put in my name is i it should come up as a just because you're on your phone you go montoyo you always i was pretty close yeah my name is an nigo montoyo you kill my father prepare to die yeah i don't give you anything you want anything at all anything you want i want my father back your son of a bitch i do just say there's nothing like when you don't know quotes when someone's just

yelling when you quotes at you yeah i know with i was dealing with that earlier by the way i do have to say i thought of the another movie that was great 2001 of a girl transforming to from ugly to hot kind of like the ultimate one which is the princess diaries yes came up also and hathaway before the internet completely turned on her because she got too popular um it was her being the nerd and it turns out she finds out she's a princess and she goes through the whole transformation people were so obsessed with that but then fast forward the devil where is Prada. That is another of one of the most quoted movies ever, and you know whose breakout role was in that? Let me, let me think, because I saw that in the cinema. I went to the

cinema to see that. Oh, God, it's an Afflex wife. No? No. Who is it? It's someone who just was in a very big movie who won, that won a lot of Oscars. Well, she was in Oppenheimer? Who was it? Emily Blunt. Oh, Emily Blunt was in. That was a very big movie. That was a lot of. her breakout role she was hysterical as the other fashion assistant who was just so she was the one who was like like just like making fun of high fashion girls not eating bread and being bitchy and being mean but like so funny um that is a very very quotable movie in the in girl world yes and it was kind of like also important in the sense that it's i mean it's it's having a go at anna winter or number one,

but it's basically having a go at the ridiculousness of the fashion industry. And it's also having a go at like... Who's the main girl, though? It was, um, Anne Hathaway. Oh, Anne Hathaway.

So she's date, she basically like, she doesn't care about fashion, but she wants to be successful and she gets this internship and everyone's like, it's going to be a nightmare. She's an assistant.

And then she decides, like, instead of letting this woman beat me down, I'm going to be the best ever. And she goes through transformation. And then she's like wearing high fashion, all this stuff. And then her boyfriend,

who was rooting for her, who's actually the guy who starred in entourage, he's rooting for her and then he's just, she becomes successful and he's like,

you've changed. Like, I don't like you anymore. Yeah, that's what fashion does. Miu or your man. But there's like, just the iconic speech

from the Anna Winter character about like, how you think that blue jumper, the blue sweater, I love that because it's like, amen. It's like, let's not try to

but think that you're above it. Yes. We're all connected in some way. Yes, we're all connected and it is art. But Merrill Streep's character was so, so amazing. All right. So actually, this is one, I feel like, if you haven't seen this, you should have. And again, there's like a lot of comedies that go sort of overlooked a little bit.

Oh, wait. Can I say my favorite comedy? I forgot. You certainly can, but I just want to go back to the beginning of the episode where I have 40 fucking movies. Like, I don't like movies. I forgot my most quotable favorite movie. What?

Legally Blonde. Oh, yeah, that did come up. That is the best. Don't estomp your last season proud of shoes on me, honey. Again, it's in a courtroom with that like a, and it is a transformation of this girl who literally, oh my God, have you seen it? Of course. Yeah, I saw it in the movies.

I mean, when she, first of all, she's so beautiful and cute and she gets broken up with by Warner the third and she's miserable and then she gets into Harvard law, like it's hard. And ends up. All right. No, that's clueless. Oh, clueless, sorry, yeah. Who's, who's? Luke Wilson.

So hot. And it was just, oh, the whole, but again, it's so funny how these movies, like, really frame, like, how you do view the world. Like, this is why it's important that there's, you know, more stories in different ways because, you know, we grew up with that, like, girls can't do it, but we actually can. And now I think the Gen Zs are growing up, like, obviously girls can do it. That's not even, like, a part of the narrative. But I was like, she's a dumb blonde. Can she get into Harvard Law? And now she, her daughter looks exactly the same as her,

and she produces movies for women. Yeah. Amazing. Her daughter just came out. Oh, no way. As queer. Happy pride. So this one also kind of, oh, by the way, shout out to Paul Rudd,

200 cigarettes. I'm not even going to play it, but never heard of it. I highly record it. I'll play it on the outro, but like, just so, I learned about so many movies that I'd never heard of it. When I saw the promos, I was like, wow, these movies are iconic. Paul Rudd in this movie, 200 Cigarettes, needs to be seen. But I'm going to play this one. I hadn't seen it, but I want to see it now. And I'm wondering if

this was one for you. Hey, Paige. Hey, Hannah. Absolutely love your podcast. Um, the movie that I absolutely love is Romeo me and Michelle's high school reunion. It's about fashion, friendship, loving yourself, accepting yourself for who you are. And it's a classic. Have you seen that? So this is embarrassing. I haven't seen it, but people constantly reference it to me and Paige saying you guys are like Romeo and Michelle.

You guys are like Romeo and Michelle. And I'm like, thanks. I have to watch it. You have to watch it because there's a lot of inappropriate jokes in it, number one. I don't even know if this movie got canceled. But when I was watching it, did you watch the trailer?

You're saying you know this movie. No, I watched the trailer. And in the trailer, I was like, there's a lot of like eating disorder jokes and shit. Yeah. But like, I thought it was funny because it's like, let's not pretend that this isn't real. But that was also the early 2000s.

It was a lot of talking about girls' weight. Yeah. A lot of weight jokes. And there's a spinning joke in it, which, you know, Amy Schumer then later on, that's that big spinning scene. But then I was like, oh, shit, I didn't realize there's like a spinning joke. There's just like a lot of stuff. You go, oh, a lot of people were inspired by this movie.

It probably doesn't get enough credit. Yeah. And it's a movie that, again, is kind of not referenced with the Legally Blondes and with the Princess Diaries, but I think culturally affected a lot of people. Like, we don't, I love when. you don't even know where something came from and then you're like oh give credit where credit is due and like listen there's just so many here i don't even know what to play but like i'm gonna play them all out because i feel like yeah i want you guys to enjoy us talking about these movies but i

also really want you to be inspired to watch some movies yeah and get some wrecks for the summer but i couldn't believe this came up because this was a huge movie from myself and my brothers when it came out it's got to be big trouble in little china Russell, Kim Cottrell, Mortal Kombat, crazy sets, kind of feels like a dream and then maybe a nightmare that you've had. But it's just so good. You just can't look away.

1986. I mean, do you know this movie? No. I mean, we got to watch it. Myself and my brothers, we must have watched it like 30 times. I think either because it was always on showtime. You know, back then you had like one movie channel. Yeah.

Because you have to pay for each one, right? Yeah. So we had Showtime. I guess it was on Showtime for a while or else we just had the VHS. But we, I mean, I watched it like a hundred times. May even be like part of my China obsession, but it's like a San Francisco Chinatown movie. Not just, by the way, Kim Cottrell, Kurt Russell, iconic. I actually forgot that Kim Codrell was the...

Good for Kim Codrell. She had green eyes. You have to watch it. It's so cool. And there's like some Kung Fu. elements. Yeah. And then there's that iconic older Chinese actor. He's not that old then, but he's in everything everywhere all at once. I forgot his name, but you'll recognize him straight away. I actually don't know what the Asian community thinks about Big Trouble and Little

China. Is it a positive or negative? It's always hard to know if this was, in hindsight, a problematic portrayal of Asian culture, but I'm just going to put that to the side and say, as a kid, I just thought it was the coolest movie ever. And Kurt Russell, by the way, iconic in the 80s. And he's now married or he's not married he's just with goldie han yes but i i'm not i can't remember if he's kate hudson's dad or not i think he's not i think he's not um but great couple and they were an overboard i think they met on overboard we do we do have to acknowledge that like back then it wasn't that easy to just like watch a ton of movies you either had to like go to blockbuster or whatever your local rental store was like it was such a different honestly i i almost feel like

big trouble in the little china was pre-blockbuster i remember It's basically like, unless your parents owned the movie, you didn't see it. Like, your parents shaped it so much. Also, I have to do a shout out to, like, when people ask what your favorite movie is, I always just say space jam. Really? Because I think it's, first of all, I think it's a funny thing to say. Second of all, like, the soundtrack, I would, like, train, I would run on the treadmill

every weekend, and I would just listen to, like, Basketball Jones to, I mean, now R. Kelly, that song, which, you know, doesn't hit the same anymore. but just salt and pepper round to round like just the best songs and i thought it was hilarious it was funny it was sporty i loved all of it what do you say when people ask what your favorite movie is i usually say la hen or or raging bull but the thing is that i didn't bring up a lot of my favorite because they're all like quite intense i was trying to keep it light a lot of people say shashank redemption yeah i like shoshank but like it's not my favorite but like but it's one of those ones that because shoshank's like one of those movies like in ireland it would just be on r t every

And Shawshank's one of those movies where you never say I'm going to watch Shawshank. But when it comes on, you never stop watching. And you never started from the beginning. Yeah, it's always like halfway through. You're always like, oh, this is going to be crazy. You know, I auditioned for a stage version of Shawshank. Oh, wow. But in my opinion, I didn't like it because the Shawshank works because of Morgan Freeman's voice.

Narration. But narration is not as powerful on stage. So you kind of lose. And actually, without Morgan Freeman's narration, Defrain is kind of an asshole. Yeah. Yeah. When I was reading it, I was like, Andy.

He thinks he's like better than everyone. Yeah, Andy's actually not that likeable. But in the movie, you get it. Yeah. But you need, like, you need Morgan being like, well, the thing about Andy was. He was always one step ahead of everybody else. But like, I didn't love. And they were giving me the opportunity to play Andy, but I don't know.

I just didn't. And it didn't actually do that great. as a live show, the Shawshank Redemption. I also, I think my Uncle Johnny writes a lot of great books of stuff like roles that were like secondary roles but made the movie. But there are a lot of movies. It's fascinating to me that at the time weren't a huge hit that like later on become so respected. The Christmas movie that my dad watches with me.

It's a Wonderful Life. I think is an example of one of those. And it's a wonderful life is like, it's definitely most movies that that makes me cry every time. Well, it definitely came up. Des and I are obsessed with trying to eat healthy this summer. There's a lot of different ways to do it, but it's kind of difficult and it's kind of hard. And that's why I love Hungry Root.

but it's a wonderful life which typically I watch around Christmas time but it's such a good movie that I think everybody should watch at least once in their life and it just has a really good like message behind it and always kind of makes you think about the little things that make life worth living um and it's just a good reminder to watch every year for me at least um and i remember growing up like that was one i always watched my mom so it was really special um but yeah it's a wonderful life such a good movie go watch it yeah yeah and you know what's funny meaning of life that shit i never i'd never seen it until our first christmas in shelter island together did we like did you were able to really watch it full all the way through

i watched it with you guys yeah it's never seen it looking it's incredible yeah and it's also the humor with the angels and stuff but then i mean it's kind of like a christmas carol right like it's obviously inspired by dickens right i think that's why they play it on christmas and it is obviously shows during christmas but it isn't like a corny like santa claus movie it's it really just shows how you actually are a blessing to so many people around you you don't know you don't know you have no idea how much you affect other people in this world it's powerful it's a powerful movie and also I but I can understand why it wasn't popular at the time because on paper it's quite heavy yeah yeah very heavy it's almost like it required people to sort of understand it

better before they went into it I also love how me and you my favorite movie space jam and yours is la hen yeah I mean listen back to the future first Buell's Day off all those like lighthearted movies are on my list too Beverly Hills cop I used to watch like a thousand times so you know And all those were just VHSs that we had in the house. The one thing about dating someone who's like a little older or grew up in a slightly different generation is you do get to like learn about a whole new like time in the world that like they were inspired by and like I get to show you stuff that like helped raise me. Yeah, except that you always forget that every you always forget that I experience everything you experience too. True. You watch this.

I was like there's this movie and I was like I know I was 21. I know. Well, yeah, because some movies, though, like, it hit me at a different age or it affected me differently. Or because I'm like, did you actually enjoy this, like, this Disney movie? Like, I was grew up at the prime of Disney. Yes. Like, I was so lucky when I was four, five, six, seven, eight was when, you know, Bambi and... No, Bambi didn't come out.

That was early. That was earlier. That was earlier. What's a good one? The Lion King. The Lion King. Exactly. Aladdin.

Yeah, that shit. Not Bambi. Also, there's a very funny story about Bambi where my papa went to the movies to see it when he was a baby. And he sees the mom get killed. Sorry. It happens in the first two minutes.

If you can't make a Bambi spoiler, what can you spoil in this world? So he apparently started crying during the whole movie wouldn't stop because he was so upset about the mom dying that they had to stay so the movie could start over again and she could show him that the mom was alive

and then they had to leave before the mom got got got um but actually the goal you know dream works and all that stuff happened it like more like in my adulthood yeah and like i really appreciated toy story i love toy story i had up another tear like movies that make me cry up is up there the opening scene of up is like a cinematic masterpiece i didn't see up the beginning of up it's literally like a montage of this guy's life and it's fucking so sad It's crazy how sad. I do have to say, not sad, but Shrek. Eddie Murphy?

Like, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Shrex. And the soundtrack? And the Incredibles? I fucking laughed so hard. I went to see it in the movies. Yeah.

And Toy Story. I laughed so hard and up. I left so hard at the Incredibles. I thought the Incredibles was like the funniest show. I do have to say I cried when I saw Toy Story 3. Oh, it's so tough. You have to let it go. you go in and you realize like this was my childhood and they have I was sobbing all during Toy Story 3

which is embarrassing to say and I know I started this thing I don't like movies and that I don't cry in movies but here we are we knew we'd get here we Hannah loves to begin the episode with a hypocritical statement she loves to contradict yourself by the end of the app no it's great it was a good app listen I'm going to play out yeah all these recommendations because there's some great recommendations.

Bye. My favorite old movie is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It came out in 2004. It has Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, and Kirsten Dunst. It's a really good movie, and everyone should check it out. Hi, Hannah, and I saw you in Vickers Street, last week, Hannah. You're amazing. The best movie from the 80s is Maniquin.

It's about Jonathan Switcher, this unemployed artist, gets a job as an assistant window dresser for this massive department store, falls in love on a mannequin that he had made in a previous job. It's beautiful love story, great music, nothing's going to stop us now, is the soundtrack and it was my first dance at my wedding. It's really worth to watch. Kim Cattrell is the leading lady and Andrew McCarthy. From all of the Brat Pack movies is the leading guy in the movie, and it's really worth

to watch. So, yeah. It was like on repeat in the 80s because we only had mannequin on V-COR, when we used to watch it every day and knew all the words. But yeah, it's super. You need to see it. So my favorite old movie, if you consider 1999 old, I don't really, but some people might, is 200 cigarettes.

I feel like so many people just glazed over this gem of a film. There are so many people in it. Ben Affleck, Dave Chappelle, Janine Garofalo, Kate Hudson, Courtney Love, Martha Plimpton, hilarious, Christina Richie, Paul Redd, goes on. on and on. It takes place in New York City in the 80s, and it's one of those films that has multiple stories that all kind of intertwine in the end, but I know they make movies like that now. They suck. This one did it best. They probably did it first. So good. 10 out of 10. Also, it doesn't stream anywhere because the soundtrack is so amazing. They can't afford to

pay royalties on the music. So good luck finding it. it's great. Hannah and Des love the pod. I feel like this is a great prop for me because I'm not an old movie watcher, even though I wish I was. However, the one movie I absolutely love that I recommend to any girly out there is called Now and Then. It's basically an old movie about four best friends when they're kids and then when they reconnect later in life.

And it's just such a heartwarming story about like, tweens turning into teens and then like your life is an adult and it's like adorably cringy but also yeah so heartwarming and so sweet and I highly recommend hi Hannah does I love you so much I'm a giggler as well um my old movie I don't even know if this counts because it was released in 2000 but like that's 24 years ago that's old um is almost famous the nostalgia the sentimentality um like it's one of those movies where it finishes and you're like okay cool so like my life will never be as good as this movie think so hey hannah hey des love the podcast it's been almost 40 years since back to school came out

there's 21 year old robert downy junior who has a dozen haircuts and hairstyles in the movie, but most of all you have Ronnie Dangerfield, a comedic legend who's 65 years old, goes back to the college as a student, thinks he can run the school and puts on just an absolute masterclass of one-liners, all while he does backflips and front flips off a diving board. I hope to see you guys in San Diego soon. Hi, Hannah and Des. There's an Australian movie called Wake in Fright that was made in 1971 and it's about a guy who is a school teacher working in the Aussie outback and he's trying to go back to Sydney for the Christmas holidays and loses all his money gambling and get stuck

in this really fucked up town and it's basically like one of those dreams where you're trying to escape but you just keep going around in circles this movie is like kind of a psychological thriller and it really informs a lot of Australian cinema and it also has a kangaroo boxing scene so that's just really important for you to see hi hannah and does thank you so much for this podcast it's so fun this is such an important prompt to me because i feel so strongly that my favorite movie is one that everyone should at least watch once which is the bird cage with nathan lane and robin williams mehi recipes and hank azaria because the combination of those three actors is just comedy genius. The film is about a gay couple, Nathan Lane and Robin Williams,

so it is Pride Month, and everyone should watch it, just for that alone. They own a drag club in South Beach, Florida, and Nathan Lane and Robin William's son is getting married, and the woman he wishes to marry, her parents are conservative, like senators. and so it's all about like how do we how do we make this i don't know hey mom and dad long time giggler devil lord dialer all the things an old movie i'd recommend i feel like old is relative um but 1989 steel magnolia s t e e l you can rent it on prime i don't know that is my favorite movie but it's definitely a classic when you're talking about old movies it's got sally fields Julia Roberts and our Lord and Savior

Dolly Parton. So if you're from the South, you're automatically going to love it. It is a little longer, but it goes through everythings and you're going to laugh your ass off. And you're probably going to cry. You're going to cry. I'm not going to lie. You're going to cry. But it's going to be great. It's a great movie. 10 out of 10. If you haven't watched it, you need to

at least give it one shot. And if you don't like it, then you're not from the South. Okay. Love you, bye. Hi, guys. I hope you're having a good day. um the movie that i think that everyone needs to watch if they haven't already is what's eating gilbert grape it is just so devastating and iconic and moving and leonardo decaprio's performance is like unreal so yeah that's all i have to say okay thanks love you bye
