Episode Date: January 16, 2024

This week, Melisa returns from a sleigh-riding, hot chocolate-fueled Arkansas reunion with wild stories (and maybe a hint of edible-induced shenanigans). Meanwhile, Meghan battles COVID by binging classic comfort movies and discovering a hidden gem called "Focus" that she can't wait to share with Melisa.

hi megan long time no see or here well i guess i've seen or and heard you on like instagram yeah it did go dark there for uh a little bit randomly periodically but i'm here glad to hear you i know we were texting but yeah i haven't been good at texting i've been worse at texting than i normally am like i'm not a good texter and you know you get the best texting version of me like i text you back the most and you are the person who like i have i'm the best texter with but like factually i'm still not good um but uh yeah i am so happy this time around with COVID I did not lose my voice like I did the first time you got drugs now and you've got like other vaccines in you yeah Paxlovid is a miracle worker I I recorded a vlog and I

I like I will say like multitasking is still like a little like I'm still like slow I'm still like it's a little hard and I'm get tired uh easier like and just and just quicker like my brain is slow my body is slow um but i was recording this and i was like just trying to find the words for like how much i loved paxlovid and i said paxlovid can hit it from the front and the back and i was editing and i was like megan what and i like that's fine pause and i was like it was like a light bulb over my head and i was like ding ding i found the words i was searching for and i was like really bitch that's that's the word that's what you were looking for and i do feel that way I really do yeah I mean you did take it to the throat so I did I do miss the Paxlovid poops

everybody was talking about like how it like wrecked their digestion and I just have to say like I had the most solid poops I've had in my life I was like this is amazing I can make you some juice yeah you want to talk about your bowels I mean I got some yogurt that said it was lactose free and i gotta say it ran through me harder than a freshman going to their first frat party i i could have ate regular yogurt and would have been better off bitch i could i would if you had just consulted me i would have told you i would say reel it back bad idea we've been over this before there are certain like things that because they're not dairy and that one i mean i think lactose free is like a total scam but

certain times when they do those things they have to add like other stabilizers and shit i tell you the time i had that one coffee creamer that was coconut based and i was like should have had it should have had milkshake like it i wasn't even done drinking it before it was coming out of my body that's how i was too and i was like this is awful also i had been eating pomegranate seeds that are so high in fiber too so and then she made a green juice everybody the green juice those are nice solid strong it's trying to bulk you up yeah like not nice solid strong poops girthy shits yeah which i like that's my drag name girthy i love the name girthy and i love the not the name the word girthy and the word gusty gusty is one of my favorite words well it's been very

gusty here in la incredibly gusty which makes me think of the holiday movie called the holiday where i if i could get nancy myers on the phone and ask her any question it would be what was the scene supposed to be there when you had to rewrite the scene on the day and make it about the winds and it was so windy that you made that an entire storyline and plot point and you had to make a whole scene like what was the real scene supposed to be because and mods was like oh i guess it makes sense like you don't think they wrote that i was like no that's the way it was just windy that day they had to film that scene so they had to rewrite it i want to know what it was supposed to be i don't know but i know i woke up on monday in the wee hours of the morning

because i thought it was storming outside like the leaves were moving so fast it sounded like rain yeah and it was just the wind we were driving on the freeway why uh and it went we were just like whoa it it too fast too furious yeah i don't even want to get out in my car no well first of that that car weighs that's what i'm talking about it's a little little tiny car no you're gonna and no no top no solid top no nothing keeping you grounded like you were about to fly through that fucking it's gonna be like those boston duck boats that like go from like the land to the sea like you're gonna be land sea flight yeah i wouldn't do that either if i were you no no thank you we saw your car in the wild someone else had it did you we always give a little

wave cute i couldn't do that because i don't know what car i drive you drive a honda civic there you go thank you so much i but here i see a honda civic i don't know that's not i don't know it's funny because when people usually get a car that's usually it turns into the only thing that they see and you have no clue no clue that's why like it's so fitting that the cars i had prior to this three of the cars one of them couldn't pick it out of the lineup um i went for things that i the jeep no no the mercedes i couldn't pick out of the lineup exactly neither could you no i can that's why i'm confused okay well okay so i had a prius you have three very specific car that's what i'm saying as long as

i've known you you've had very specific cars that's why i get those cars because i can recognize those cars they don't get lost the only reason i can find my car is because thank god i know the dealership that it's from so i can tell based on that oh my gosh but yeah so um but a lot of people do have your car so people wouldn't wait because like half the people on the road have that car yeah that's true yeah i i love my bug i miss my bug i saw my bug in the wild and i was like should have fucking expensive what an expensive little relic you are 100 100 g's on the little wheels fucking mad speaking for people that don't know because they stopped making them they are yeah a uh a relic a relic and it's not even a top dollar for them yeah people pay top

dollar for bugs in general but this one was like the last which i didn't fucking know it was the last year that they were doing the bugs they did like a special edition one year only color and interior release and I got the pairing of all of I got like the like the light colored top that they weren't making I got like the specific leather that was just for that year and the like the whole interior was like light yellow cream and like light brown and um the like specific shade of blue and then Melissa told me years later she was like oh yeah but when I was looking for a new car I was like they don't make those anymore she's like no you literally got like that last one you should you should have bought out that lease would have made you a ton

of money and i had no idea but remind me we weren't close then it was the beginning of our relationship very beginning like the tip of it no i just think i well i don't think it's because we weren't close i think it was just that like maybe you didn't know me well enough to know that you're like oh i assume that she knows that she could do this no i just didn't tell you because we weren't close because i was like i i didn't i never even learned that information but remind gonna tell you something later about um a money thing and selling something okay you you have this look on your face like i just made buku dollars well i didn't make it because that would involve like putting the time and energy into doing it but it's kind of like a how long do i wait because

this thing is just accruing value every day okay can't wait to hear and it's an accident like i love when that happens wonderful like when i bought my car i had no clue until later it's very cute well what has been new with you because we have taken a little bit of a break for anyone who didn't know uh i had covid um yeah so that was the break we took uh after we had the the illest the sickest year of both of our lives i know i know i have a doctor's appointment tomorrow wow which a general appointment and then getting everything in order i was like who are you seeing my pulmonologist or my cardiologist not yet soon so what's up with you what's new with you let's see the last time we talked

out so then i was drinking out in the streets too this is what happens when you hang out with people from like an era of your life yes even if you you still know them into adulthood like you revert back to like yes this is this is the debauchery we use i don't think you understand we had our friend group was called the binks and we had like little like dances we had initiations for people that would like to be our friends i need to put you and karuchi in a room together because her fucking high school like her friend group they were called the dimes because they were like all tens and we had a pa on the movie who knew her from high school and he like brought it up and she was like shut the fuck up stop talking about this that sounds like something

her friend group would have done i saw pictures they were hot girls on campus yeah we everybody wanted to join the group we had like initiations for some people didn't make it through the initiations uh we had songs like we really loved ourselves i don't know if people really loved us as much as we did from like the outside but like people were trying to get in it doesn't yeah yeah people were trying to get in uh so we went like the uh like like drinking and eating were the main points of our course yeah uh and so anyway so we used to go hard so um so we were out we went to this hole in the wall also at this bar they had the most delicious popcorn you've ever had in your life i love a bar with a thing like that yeah and they

had different like flavors and things and i'm like i gotta recreate this uh-huh it's a good time i don't even like popcorn that much i was just high and drunk okay well i love popcorn so maybe we need to get you high and drunk so we can have a pop right here and then we went to this other bar at this point this is keep in mind this is a town that i have known from the time i was in eighth grade till i moved away after college so years i don't know where the hell we are this is the area this is the area that we would have been in all the time at college we go to down to some bar another part that has it's huge like huge there's nobody there they're giving away free hot chocolates i love this and they it's filled with arcade games

we're sleeping on arkansas everybody i've been i'm letting you know everyone is sleeping in arkansas yes it's filled with arcade games arkansas not all of it northwest arkansas and then um later um sarah was like oh this was this used to be rj i was like oh they've redone it again they've redone all these places it was nobody there because it's a college town and no everybody was gone for college um and like we met these other two girls they were like you're the coolest person i've ever met and i was like okay one girl was like from give me a s country scandinavian maybe i think sweden scandinavian well scandin i mean she was scandinavian maybe give me another s uh switzerland no she was from switzerland that's where she was from

yeah and i was like i don't know why y'all are obsessed with me but whatever there was a sleigh there we were taking pictures in the sleigh tried to pay for drinks there they didn't they wouldn't take our money um and then it got to a point where we all just kind of were like we can't feel our faces it's time to go home so we just walked outside everybody kind of just got uber and left what a night it was a great night that sounds like a great night so was that after before in the spot between christmas and new year yes yep i think it was the day before new year's so much shit happens at that time new year's eve i should say yeah it was it was great that's so fun i love that for you and a story of you eating that many gummies and not ending up like face down

in three gummies as someone who that would be me three gummies and like maybe five or six drinks but we but we started on a full stomach we had like a nice rotisserie chicken and brussels sprouts really it really you're really hyping us up at least it feels dedicated to me that's just i didn't know the gummies were gonna be there i forget that you can now get oh yeah that's him i'm just like wildly impressed by that the one time that i like i never i don't fuck with edibles i never fucked with edibles the one time that i like did like was like oh let's do edibles disneyland for my birthday and they didn't kick in until on the drive home and i'm on the phone i have to have a work call this is when moss is still our manager's assistant

and i answer the phone he goes oh my god you're high and i was like what and he goes i can tell just hold it to fucking fucking hold it together for the skull and roll those windows up and turn your ac off because i can't hear you so that is not the last time you did edibles one time kendall and i were going to the movies and we saw you and kyle wondering that was after that was just straight up weed it was okay okay i i i that was not smoked weed no no no that was last time i had an edible um because i don't like the timing of it i like predictability i like to set an alarm this was a day where i had no fucks to give like yeah and so you were leaving them in 2023 yeah like no fucks it wasn't even new year's eve it was still like the new year's eve and like

yeah i left my car at my friend's house then also didn't realize i could have walked there from my parents house i had no clue where the fuck i was that's so the next day when you're like that whoa yeah this is this is right here i thought i was so far away yeah i get home my dad it's still not even like late late like it's maybe 1 a.m my dad's still up has a friend over no he doesn't know my dad's sleep yeah that was right my dad's sleep and he's like why are you walking like that my mom's like laughing her ass off at me and then the next same morning it was very much evening 2 p.m uh afternoon i wake up then that's when my dad had his friend over and i'm like dead walking yeah hungover dehydrated as fuck walking to the kitchen and uh his friend's

like you're not looking bad today and i was like what the hell does that mean and then my dad reminded me that one time this was like a year ago two years ago maybe he was like oh so what are you doing out in la and i said being a bad bitch and so so he was referencing stuck with him he never forgot about that moment he was like that kid of yours destined for hollywood i see i see it yeah that so he's like you're not looking like a bad bitch today essentially and i was like rude so shady go home but also i love people have been sitting on a company like sitting on a opportunity to use that for years he must have left and was like fucking nailed it that's so funny oh my god i love that for you what a fun way to end the year and started new with all of

your pooping yeah that's the same thing new year new me i'm not continuing that that's a maybe that's just like an Arkansas thing you know yeah no no and nobody is gonna be surprised because like we all regardless if you went to college or not like we all know that there are certain places where it's like uh-oh don't send me there I'm a different person I do different things there and and then I leave them there and the thing is they didn't live there until the last couple years because they everybody had left and then they moved back for jobs that were there how was your bringing in the new year well you know we did it on facetime because at that point he was testing positive and i wasn't even though i was feeling sick so i was like i know i'm gonna

get sick but i want to be separate yeah possibility just in case of course i tested positive the next morning um so yeah we watched the santa claus over facetime like so like we watched it he watched on his computer in the bedroom and i watched it on the couch and then we texted during it and just like talked about it uh i fell asleep before midnight obviously and um yeah but we i just we watched just a lot of shit like we watched like a ton of movies unless i saw a movie that made me be like I have to start writing reviews on my Letterboxd account like yes prior to that like no I'll like I'll throw I love a watch list because it reminds me of things that I want to watch but like I'd never felt so inclined to write a review for a movie actually two movies

one Saltburn I haven't seen it yet but I'm looking forward to seeing your mother in it oh yes Rosamund Pike who did you see announced that she's going to be in White Lotus season three i will unfortunately have to not unfortunately but i will have to watch yeah um and the movie focus which the algorithm twitter i got i i got bamboozled hoodwinked by twitter i mean not twitter tiktok and i should have expected to say the algorithm on twitter twitter is awful yeah i see this clip of a movie as i do you know sometimes you watch entire seasons of like the good doctor on tiktok like i've seen a chicago med oh so many i've seen the whole show right so i got this clip from this movie that i was like how have i never heard of this movie i'm gonna

tell you how this movie is i don't even know if you could call it a movie when i tell you that this it makes no sense there is no plot nothing happens i don't even know what we're talking about half of the time and like just it's as if they meant to they made a three-hour movie and they said cut it down to 90 minutes they'll figure they'll put the pieces in between and i'm like what the fuck but this one fucking clip that they showed i was like this is right up my alley will smith margot robbie and it's a little montage of her pick in pockets yes i remember this now yeah and i was like flawless amazing like i put me in coach i'm fucking ready for this when i tell you this movie is like so violently 2015 like she is wearing she is wearing

business casual like as a hot girl in like italy in the summer blazer like she's wearing these outfits she's got the big poof there like margot robbie can never look like i've always said margot robbie came out the womb looking 30 like she looked 30 on her the australian soap neighbor she looked 30 there she looked 30 and wolf of wall street she looks 30 and barbie like this woman is perpetually 30 to see her dress like this in it it just confirmed everything to me because i'm like she could be 19 here but these blazers these shoes um it was so so so bad so bad is the poster of this her with sunglasses yep sunglasses yep i was like why is no one talking about this movie like

great actors like fun concept like it's like oh they're doing the heist but then they said someone from the past blah blah blah blah I never knew where this movie was going at all and it was so weird so confusing and I'm still processing it to the point where I'm like do I have to watch this movie again and I can't like I can't bring myself to do it but it was just like oh there's a and i like bad movies but like this was just made on imovie i don't know like it was just so it was so bad who directed it probably nobody i don't think there's no there was no director there was no director it was focus movie there were two directors there are two acclaimed wait hold on let me see if one person

was on and then one person came and cleaned it up no they're like i know crazy stupid love acclaimed director buddies joker harley yeah bad santa they direct together all the time no i literally think this was a three-hour movie and they cut it half like they cut so much shit out it made no sense and i say this with like so much there's all these rumors that like marco robbie and will smith hooked up on the set of this movie when i tell you that like after seeing this movie they have less than no chemistry they are two people who i think could have chemistry in a movie with a cardboard box together they have absolutely none i'm supposed to believe either one of them killing each other for people would be interested in the other they just

like i don't like too much sex scenes with them and i'm like you are it's literally giving like sibling energy like it's like oh my god like so much older than her yeah but it they can fuck with you because she looks 30 that makes me uncomfortable i know it was just it was just oh i i couldn't i could not i could not for the life of me buy it also because um also mostly it was based on them having like this palpable sexual chemistry that's like we don't even have to have these scenes where they fall in love it's just like they their eyes connected it's obvious and i was like i'm so sorry it's actually not obvious these eyes are i'm not seeing you undressing like it's just not happening but also will smith is a good looking

man but he is not a sex symbol and he's not a romantic he's a comedy person hitch take it back he's not the main romance in that movie though no but he's also trying to be like he's like trying to be suave and it's like oh it's only until you actually like show your true self and you're kind of goofy and you're kind of dweeby that it's like oh this is it's different like he's not the main love in that you know well he's teaching he's teaching other people yeah that's fine i'm talking about where he is the romantic lead of a movie well and he's also supposed to kind of be like oh he's like off the wall he's unpredictable and i'm like this man does not give me the vibes of like i'm about to i'm about to gamble millions of

dollars and say fuck it to everybody here and i go no you've got a responsible face like this is just you're either responsible or goofy two different two different size of the coin yep yep yep and i just it was just it was so fucking bad and there's like this one actor who i'm like he was just improvving like the whole thing i was saying that was like out of pocket weird stuff he like there's this one part for no reason where he like sees margot robbie and um basically what happens i'll spoil the whole fucking movie for everybody because it's you should still watch it because i can't been out for almost 10 years but even me talking about it like i promise you like you you will never be until you experience it so he um like he's like a heist guy he like pulls

these like heists but they're like small heists so like you know it's like rock pickpocket doing this stuff like no none of these big jobs it's like a bunch of little things and does it over like a racing weekend or a mardi gras or something where they like make all this money and so they make two million dollars he meets her because she basically tries to rob him and uh in the first scene in set in kind of like oh i'm gonna flirt with this guy and bring him back up to my hotel room and then i'm gonna have my fake boyfriend come in and then hold my gunpoint and be like give me my like you're trying to like fuck my wife like blah blah whole thing they like you know start hooking up and then he basically is like okay when's it gonna happen and then the

whole thing happens and she's like how do you know and he was like it was pretty obvious and so then she's like is intrigued by him and starts like following him being like oh my god he's like also in he's also in the in the scamming business and so she's like i just want to learn from him and so then she basically like stalks him and finds him where he is and he's like please let me get on what you do he lets her he makes like they make like two million dollars on this weekend and like they start like having this like little love affair but again it's in the span of like three days three days and then he they're like leaving and she's like where are we going now and he's like just get out of the car and she was like what and he like gives her a suitcase and she gets out

the car and he's like kind of crying in the car and then like she's all sad and i'm like this is a weekend you've known each other for a weekend and then he does and it's like flash forward like seven years later and i was like what the fuck and he's pulling this other he's doing this other job or whatever oh no so the reason why they're from the car is he then goes to the racetrack and he tricks her into thinking that he's betting uh like millions of dollars like all of the money away and like that he has a gambling addiction and they set it up so she overhears him talk someone else talking about his gambling addiction which isn't real and he just does it so she falls for all of this and so this like random guy who's also in the box at the super bowl that they're at he like

bets him all this money and then he gets to double the money he makes and then he kicks her out of the car and doesn't give her a cut of that he only gives her a cut of like the original money which i was like i was pretty fucked up because she was like a key player in all of this that you just did without her knowing it um and then they flash flashers forward all of these years and um she's like dating this race car driver and he's doing like a con on him but like he's double crossing him so that guy's basically like sell my self fake tech of mine for these race cars to these other teams uh for all of this money and then they'll lose the race and i will i'll win because i have this tech and they'll think they have it so they won't do as well they won't try

as hard um and so he ends up selling the real thing to everybody and so then the guy like it's fucked and so margot robbie's dating this guy and then he kidnaps both of them him and his henchmen who has beaten him her up so they like get back together like in secret he hires his friend who helps him do all these cons will smith hires his friend who helps him do all of these cons and turns out this con is getting margot robbie to take him back and the guy's like sorry man i tried my best and they're like what is the what is he in town what kind of con is he pulling now the con was love and it was like what the fuck so then it like kind of worked and so then the uh the race car guy figures out that they're like in it together and like all the stuff and they

have them they're like tied up and so then he's like asking like how did you do that like how did you get the real files or whatever and he's like makes this whole elaborate story about how he gave margot robbie this necklace which is one that she liked from their first like job together that he like had saved and he gave it to her and it had a recording device on it and so it was able to track the keystrokes which again doesn't make any sense how is a necklace tracking keystrokes tracks the keystrokes so she he could find out all of his passwords and then the guy's like but she's never been in my room and he was like that's your boyfriend and she was like it's not my boyfriend i was trying to steal his watch and i was like this girl has been here for three weeks

trying to steal this man's watch they've never slept together they've never done anything together and this man is entertained like he's not entertaining any other suitors it's just this girl and so then he's like okay i'm so lost he's so like we're so fucked up this is awful then his henchman shoots will smith and you're like he's dead holy shit the other race car driver's like oh my god i didn't actually want to kill anyone and then leaves and you're like what and then this this like henchman guy margot robbie's screaming at him and he goes oh honey it's okay don't we're in this together and he like suddenly becomes like mr rogers and it's like sweetheart deep breaths it's fine we're all in this together and she goes what oh my god are

you his father and he was like of course that's my son and so it's like it was the most insane thing ever and then they drive him to the hospital because will smith is dying and bleeding out and he was like i'm taking all the money by the way you gotta get out of the family business melissa okay you have to watch it so no i don't my letterboxd review my letterboxd review is this movie was a fever dream violently 2015 i don't know i'm still processing and then salt burn which um i haven't seen it yet so i don't want to know i know nothing about this movie so don't tell me anything till after i watch it okay can i tell you that you're not no no i don't know love it no okay nope i don't i didn't hear anything you just said okay i'll probably hear

it again when i edit this but um no if anyone wants to find my letterbox account you can see my feelings in my it's only one sentence um but it is kyle and i had talked about this after and i was like don't megan stop talking about it i didn't say any it's not anything specific i i i truly don't know anything about this movie yeah i didn't anyway i do find don't make sure this is the no no movie girl what do you have to fucking yeah i do find that barry fellow oddly attractive and i don't know why oh so you might like this okay because i i do think that the people who are like love this it has to be that kyle and i were talking about that i was like if you had switched that maybe i would feel differently

but like again you're telling me things yeah it's not my it's not my bad i also watched theater camp which was great moss is now terrified that our children are going to be theater kids and i was like well they they probably will be and we will have to sit through some some bad shows and that's fine and they will be great i saw it it was fine jimmy tatra was the best part of that movie which i don't think anybody could have anticipated and io i oh well i have my fellow irish queen like she is she's stole my joke that I'll have for but am I wrong oh damn I'm sorry and uh she's funny in absolutely everything but like yeah everything that was written for her like was was funny and Jimmy Tatro's like he made he made it like I think if anyone else had read it I don't think it would

have been uh as good I don't think he had as much to kind of like work with I think I think they anticipated him supposed to be like an annoying character and I'm like no he was the best part of this movie no i think he was supposed to be like i think by the end but like even in the part i was like i'm sorry i can't be mad at you know i don't think you get him without thinking because he brings a lot of heart to everything he does yeah so i don't think you get him without thinking that he's gonna be i loved it i thought i mean i loved him i didn't it was a good movie it was fine movie then we watched dosing the pussycats which moths was like this movie is fantastic why is this like what why is this like not regarded and i was like oh it's like a cult

classic but it was when it first came out they market it to children so that was the problem it shouldn't it was not a problem for me because i did watch it as a child and you should know that in the recent watching of this was the first time that i understood the meaning of du jour song backdoor lover also somebody has access to the du jour spotify account and is uploading other songs okay um and then we watched sex tape which is an underrated comedy oh i never saw that but i wanted to see it so this is my theory and you tell me if i'm correct i think that there is a couple options of why i think this movie is not as big as it should have been either we knew too much about the cloud for the plot to make any like for the plot to feel believable we didn't know

enough about the cloud or it wasn't as widespread for it to be like okay whatever um or it was a casualty of the sony interview i it was one that was part of it but also two it came out when a lot of it came out i feel like it came out 2014 yeah but um they released it that was in july um i think that it was a lot of they one they didn't market it well yeah it was just them on a billboard with their mouths open and was like this isn't telling us anything about the film um but two it came out around the time that there were other movies that had similar type things that like forgetting sarah marshall that kind of stuff well not that came out a little bit earlier and he was in it too wasn't yeah yeah um but it was just there were some movies that came out

around the same time that seemed like they were all the same movie this one was actually so good and I like deep dived onto the Wikipedia it was written in 2011 and so I'm a little curious if they changed the plot points because like it is about like iCloud and stuff so I don't know if it just like they were sitting on it for so long that they just kind of were like already over it before it even came out um but also they were in talks to have Reese Witherspoon play that role and I was like I'm sorry we saw Cameron Diaz's butt like four times and like there's no way I can picture Reese Witherspoon being like I'm gonna film a sex tape with my husband Jason Siegel but like jason siegel and cameron ds had fucking amazing chemistry like focus could never focus

could never it was i i thought it was actually very funny it was a less stressful actually leaps and bounds less stressful than the worst my my personal horror movie game night i love game night it's so stressful this one is a little less stressful except they do do coke in it and i was like can we not like i need is there a website that will tell me if there's drugs in movies that'll make me feel less probably there's a website that'll tell you if a dog dies and there's a website that'll tell you when to go pee there's probably one drug well it's in the rate it would be in the rating yeah but they don't specify drug use because it can be just like smoking weed oh you mean like the specific drug well i mean yeah like

if someone's like smoking weed in the background or they're like oh we're hot like a sausage party like oh we're high like that's different than like rob low doing like lines of coke yeah he was so creepy in that movie like he looked i was like oh rob low what did he transformed he's a great actor very great in my eyes he can do anything i feel like cameron diaz yeah um is that all that you saw no but that's the only things worth mentioning i well i did watch now you see me one and two uh santa claus one through three and then the santa claus tv series um it's horrible everyone should watch it uh and what else did we watch planet earth y'all really getting it in yeah um i think i wrote down more things i i saw the book of clarence i know i'm excited to see that it's

very good i'm excited for you to see it too because i want someone's perspective that doesn't know the bible well um i'm your girl i know um but i went to a uh screening of it and sean carter was there aka jay-z it's very he seemed like just like he wasn't in the video that yeah yeah he was what phone is on the left side shit was so fucking blurry i was squinting being like who is that did you have your glasses on you know i don't need my glasses for up close i could have been my wi-fi connection uh yeah he was there it seemed very nice like he was just like talk yeah he produced it he's just like talking to people in the audience very casually i was like it's a very charming man most of them are yeah and then you meet an actor or you see an

actor or anyone in hollywood and you're like you are actually so uncharming how did this happen for you yeah yeah um but it's good it's like when they first released the trailer people were like this is sacrilegious but honestly it's bible fan fiction it's written about a character that is apostle thomas's twin which is mentioned in the bible so it's just taking a character that already exists that we know nothing about and then creating a story around it that follows the parallel story of jesus and it takes things that are actually in the bible it's actually i would think if a if it didn't have black people in it conservative white christians would love it so if you had pitched that to me without me having seen the trailer because i saw the trailer and

then i asked you and i said is this like a real is this like a real bible thing or is this like a not because i like if you just said that to me i would go that is not my kind of movie and then i saw the but the trailer and i was like is this a real religious thing or a fake one because i'm watching it yeah yeah i'm i'm excited to see i think we're gonna see it uh this weekend hopefully very cool we also ran into one of our the friend that i said directed um kiki's oh yeah that that spot um ran into him there i always run into him random places he went to college with us too and then also as i was walking out i saw my cousin that's less random in the in like a press kind of screen we're not press screening but like uh like an inside industry screening yeah

what theater was it at at the one that's on the sony lot the screen room on the sony lot oh nice yeah intimate a lot of people did not get in i'm like i'm on the list and it had nothing to do with my cousin somebody you saw and you said suck it i did this without you she's like okay no my boy cousin the one that i am blood related to oh okay yes but her husband oh i was like you didn't see her there no she wasn't working she doesn't work those kind of events she just would have made sense to me that she would have been just you know she was working her pop-up that she's doing now pop it up pop it up yeah but i recommend it people should see it it's very good i'm excited to see it i can't wait i i love a movie i love i love a theater movie experience and that looks

like a that's a that's a moot that's a movie that looks like that feels like yes yeah it was well directed his uh directing or jay-z's um like creative partner who also works in music um was the writer and director of it um it was very good i like how it's colored and sent shot like i think the whole thing is just really well done looks wise i highly recommend i can't wait for mean girls yeah we gotta go see it we do and we gotta do an episode but am i watching on it i'm hearing mixed reviews and i will say that um there are certain things that like i'm i'm gonna be really tech if i don't like it i will be so i will be like so diligent about how i speak about how i did because i'm not about to fuck myself over because i love a lot of people yeah one

who's reviewing it yeah two i don't pay attention to reviews and three i feel like i'm gonna have a good time regardless well we are those kinds of people where it's like if i have an okay time i don't think they i don't get mad when someone makes something of a prior thing that i liked and i was like oh it was okay like it doesn't like ruin like the entire franchise or the whole like thing for me i'm like i take it or leave it like more is more yep but we've got it i think we need to go on a wednesday obviously yeah i think that's a good idea um so we can wear pink um but also um i want to see american fiction which is only playing it like small ass places or the fucking grove and i'm not going that ever again i i know i like i for a while i thought it wasn't

out yet i did too but it's been out i know and it looks so good that is when the tiktok got me in for it i got i got a little ad for it and when it was the grandma being like i am so glad you're not white and she was like me too and i was like you know you're talking about because i don't watch uh trailers anymore on ads i just saw them straight to me it comes up i just go swipe up i just saw that isa was in and i'm like i'm good yeah i'll see anything that she does doesn't matter what it is i also sent you the trailer do you just ignore it and you just say i'll still watch uh-huh yeah it'll be good the whole cast is good um did you see that video of um there's the um what's it called recess therapy that guy that has yeah and then the video with

isa and then also the one with margo and yeah they're so cute did you see one with jack black yes yes that one's good too he apparently like everything i saw from the globes was just other celebrities obsessing over jack black like l fanning losing her mind over jack like everybody and i was like jack must be a fun time together i actually don't think so she's a little too young for any of the movies he did when with like kids and stuff okay also i just morph her and her sister into one person so yes they do have very similar faces and you know dna so uh yeah i i i love everything recess therapy i'm i'm a i'm obsessed with them and i'm glad that they got their uh their moment on the carpet me too the one where they wanted i haven't seen suits so

i can't tell you anything about it but the one with the guy from suits is like you actually watched the show and she's like yeah i know who you are and he's like who's your favorite character and she says some other character and he's like you can see it in his mind yes she's actually watched this show but like i was like i've never seen the show but i've literally heard verbatim that it's like no everybody likes that harvey or whatever the other guy that's what it was yeah and i was like so now i know that that man didn't play harvey but i'm like that's literally all i know and i was like these kids fucking know damn i bet their parents are in the back like hello like where's harvey yeah oh that's funny yeah i love them can't wait and i want to see the iron claw

i heard it's really fucking depressing yes it's very sad they also cut one of the brothers out of it well there's another brother story's too sad that the movie was too sad on its own yes that's they're like he dies so we're not gonna have all this in here yeah it's just like that's but still it's a true story to be the sibling that gets cut out yeah yeah i i want to see wonka i want to see priscilla i want to see the holdovers yeah there's so much i know it's a good time for movies yeah because they all got held up for months i'm here speaking of movies um i outlined a christmas movie a couple days ago i'll send it to you why why no like i wrote oh i thought you meant like i didn't make a book report on a
