Someone DM me and told me, you're going through the Jennifer Lawrence effect.
And I was like, I don't know what that means.
And I don't think I want any.
What a rude thing to send you.
No, I was just like, well, thanks.
Like, I don't know what to do with that.
You're like, oh my God, thank you.
You think I'm going to be a star?
Hey, y'all, it's Drew and welcome back to the comments section show.
To help me really get into my comment section, I've brought on Emily Rebae as my guest today.
And they're going to help me tackle the haters and get into some of their own fan comments.
Emily, welcome to the show.
Hello, everybody. I'm so excited to be here.
I feel weird now being the interviewee.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, because now it's real.
Like, you're actually speaking to me.
It's not just a voice in my head.
Well, that's perfect.
See, now you're actually being interviewed.
I am, yeah.
Now I'm both.
And you're the influencer.
Yes.
Doing it.
For today's topic with the wonderful Emily Rebae, we're talking about women in Hollywood.
Specifically the treatment of women in Hollywood compared to how men are treated in
Hollywood.
Oh, yeah.
So when I bring that up to you, like, what's your like first initial thought?
I think of just pay gaps, pay disparities, all the stuff that goes on.
Behind the scenes, things of women who have been through terrible moments with directors.
Like, I think with the Me Too movement with Harvey Weinstein, who knows how many women,
not just the women we see on camera, but behind the scenes in women had terrible experiences with.
So, literally.
Yeah, I think more of the terrible stuff than the glitz and glam.
And also, when you think about that, too, it's kind of crazy how it's more so focused on, like,
oh, like, I feel so sad that that happened and not that it was happening.
And it was like a well-known thing that was underground for like 10, 20 years.
Yeah, it's something that totally could have been stopped or at least taken care of,
but instead these women were continuously taken advantage of.
And women were passing along the advice to each other.
Like they were like, hey, just so you know, don't work with him.
Oh, yeah.
Which is we'd be looking out for each other and who's looking out for us?
Yeah, no.
It's like a doggy dog world in Hollywood, definitely.
And I think for women especially, you have to really watch your back,
specifically with male people in the space.
It's really difficult.
It really is.
And it sucks, too, that you have to feel that way.
Especially when you're trying to, it's an art.
So like, you know, you're trying to be creative, express yourself.
Any industry where you have to express yourself, whether it be clothes, whether it be painting, drawing, graphic design, there's so many obstacles you have to face as a woman.
While men not only have it a bit easier, but they don't have to face struggle worrying about what they're wearing or if they're showing touched, if they're revealing, if they're this or if they're that, their attitude.
Like, it's really hard.
Yeah, I always think, too, when I think about, like, how women in Hollywood are treated versus how men are.
Oh, yeah.
I always think about, like, body shaming.
Yes.
Like how they made a whole industry off shaming women,
like what they look like in a bikini or anything like that.
Yeah, yeah.
Dating back to like old holiday, like Judy Garland being on diet pills for having like a thicker
waist, like keeping her under a certain weight, keeping women under a certain weight.
They weren't allowed into certain parties if they didn't look a certain way.
So I think like a lot of studios are at fault for that.
Yeah.
And also too, like how women are like, oh, like she looks like she gained weight.
Oh, what if she's pregnant?
That kind of thing.
But with men, it's like, oh, dad boss.
Oh, yeah.
So hot.
Yeah.
his dad bod. It's so
good look. I love me at dad bod. And that used to be
a trend. I remember online. It was
so big for men to have the dad bod, but
let a woman let herself
live a little, and it's talked about for months.
She like eats a snack on the beach
and goes on the ocean and then they're like,
someone's hiding a pregnancy.
Oh, no, no. And that's funny because they don't even know what that
looks like. Or if women choose to not drink
in a social setting. They're like, oh, she's
pregnant. No, they just can't drink
maybe. Just like anything. It's still like you're
constantly being watched. Oh, yeah. Under
a certain eye always. It's really difficult, I think, for women to feel comfortable in those spaces,
specifically like going to certain parties and then you're more worried about how you're looking
and how your face looks because you don't want to have an RBS and say like, oh my God, what are they
going to say about me? And on the carpet too, because you and I have walked to carpets.
We've walked a couple carpets. That's pretty daunting. It's hard. Yeah, sometimes, yeah, when men
have the most to say about women, what they look like on the carpet. I always say to myself,
I say you do it. You go on that car, you paint that face down, like tie your face back.
like the things that they do to you when you go on a carpet.
It's very overwhelming and invasive.
And you almost feel like, damn, like, am I not doing enough?
Because clearly, like, it's not working.
Or, like, you have to practice your posing.
Yeah.
Men just get away with standing there like this.
I know.
Like, yeah.
And you know what's funny is that I just went to a premiere the other day.
And I was walking next to Jason Moe, which, by the way, listen to me.
That's like me going on a talent show right after Beyonce.
Why did you put me next to him?
Oh, yeah.
Everyone's like, who's this big idiot?
Move, lady.
Who's this bitch?
Move.
I'm trying to see Aquaman.
Oh, yeah.
Which is cool.
But that man, literally, I was, like, stressing all day what I was going to wear, like, how it's going to look, like how it's going to post.
He was wearing, he looked like he just came from sprouts.
He was wearing jeans and a peasant top.
I said, I expect nothing less.
He looks great.
But I wish I could dress like that.
Oh, yeah.
The standard is so different.
It's on the floor.
And then you have these women who have to come in gowns or, like, a mini dress.
No, literally.
It's so different.
I remember the first time I went on carpet for Eternals.
I knew I wasn't going to get photographed, but I stood in front of my mirror, and I was, like, smiling, practicing what I was going to do, if cameras were looking at me.
Like, no, I did that too.
Yeah.
You practiced your hands, like everything.
Oh, very, like, you have to be doing this.
Yeah, and I was carrying a bag just because I forgot to give it to someone, and someone was like, next time, don't carry a purse.
It ruins the fit.
I said, oh, is this, how many carpets have you walked?
That's what I thought, babe.
And I said, guess what?
I bought that bag, so I'm carrying it.
With your heart earned money.
That's right.
And I think about, like, Tiffany Haddish when she's like, I'm going to wear this dress until the wheels.
fall off because she spent so much money on it.
She's like, I bought this. I'm going to keep wearing it.
Oh, yeah, as she should. That's why I felt about that purse.
Also, wearing outfits and not wearing the same thing over and over again.
I can't tell you how many times I've thought about that.
It's crazy because I remember Joaquin Phoenix had a run where he wore the same Stella McCartney suit
to every award show when he was nominated for Joker.
And no one batted and I, people talked about how sustainable was.
But for a woman to do that, we can see it as sustainable.
They're like, you're so boring.
Oh, yeah.
Are people like, didn't you already wear that?
Yes, I did.
For a reason, I bought it.
You know what's funny.
If I saw a dude wear the same suit, I wouldn't know.
Yeah, because they wear it any, well, it's a black suit.
That's why I said.
You could have told me that was from Ross or you could have told me that was from a rental shop
actually.
No, literally, I'm like, that could have been from Coles.
Like, I don't know.
No, yeah.
But with women, it's just so much more like nitpicky, I feel like.
Yeah, definitely.
And everything, from what you wear to what you look like, to how you act to what you
act in.
The slightest change in your face, oh, it's talked about for months.
It's so, so hard.
Yeah, I literally posted pictures.
of me in full glam.
Let me just set the scene for you.
I sat in hair and makeup for two and a half hours.
I had a wig on my head.
I was beat down.
My face looked so good.
My makeup artist took pictures in me.
I posted them.
Did I look incredible?
Yes.
Let's all agree that.
Let's all agree that I looked phenomenal.
It is what it is.
But when I posted them,
tell me why people were making TikTok saying
I got work done to my face.
Oh no, that's just a little contour and powder.
You guys don't know shading and light, do you?
I literally was like, you see me on the toilet.
all the time.
You think I'm going to look like that.
Oh, yeah.
On the toilet?
You think I wake up with a full beat.
I'm not Kylie Jenner.
Oh, no, yeah.
She wakes up with a full beat.
Someone's being her face in her sleep.
She's like, she sleep like this.
Like I'm looking at you, R.
R. R.O., I know exactly.
No, she literally sleeps like this, like perfectly poised.
You know, perfect body, perfect hair.
Everything wakes up full beat.
Oh, yeah.
Her and Stormy's perfectly dressed.
Oh, and I think, you think that's me?
No, yeah.
I'm a big jester on the internet.
You think that's me?
Of course that's not me.
That's why I said it's just funny because like men are so quick to like judge and I always think too men don't know what makeup looks like
Oh no they don't or their definition of natural is nothing what it is in real life absolutely not
And I was thinking too if you saw me in real life if like one of those dudes had seen me in real life that day
They would have thought I had no makeup on absolutely they would have been like wow I feel so naturally beauty
You ask them what's a what's a natural beauty look like to you they show a picture of Kim Kardashian
With like a full bronze be yeah with a full bronze out beat like she looks fantastic but you know she's wearing
20 pounds of makeup, hello? Oh, yeah.
That's why they're like, oh, it's work. You have work done to your face.
No, it's just shading and lighting.
Again, makeup as an art form is something of its own.
But it's interesting to see men then pick apart, like, how it looks or what they've done
differently. It's just, it's just nose powder. I promise.
It's face tune in real life is what it is.
Magic.
And they're just, I think, jealous. That's what I think it is.
I agree with you.
So I can't wait to dive into this with you, Emily.
But when you first think of women in Hollywood, I think of the glitz and the glamour.
Like, obviously, we all wanted to feel that growing up.
So here on the comment section, what we like to do is we like to bring videos that I want to laugh at, and I bring them here, and we share all the giggles.
That's what we do.
We just laugh and giggle.
We love to giggle. We have a silly goofy time here on my show. That's what we do.
So one of the most frustrating things that I hear being in the entertainment industry is male writers saying that they don't know how to write female characters.
Because I'm always just like, just write them the same.
same way you write men.
You know what I mean?
But then give them like a nice pair of jiggly titties that they can play with whenever they want.
And like a monthly period that makes them emotionally unstable and hormonal and unable to make rational decisions.
And and then make them hot, but like not too hot so that they're out of your league.
And make them smart but not in a way that's intimidating and make them.
funny, but, you know, funny in that they think you're really funny.
And there you have it.
Cast me in your next film.
Honestly, what are your initial thoughts after watching this?
She's so right, because I'm a big blockbuster watcher.
I love going to the movies and seeing the latest, like, Marvel movie or Star Wars movie.
It's so interesting to see them try to write a badass female hero.
Yeah.
Not only has, like, male attributes, she has to be funny, she has to be relatable, she has to be this, she has to be that.
It's so difficult to watch her character try to succeed.
Or men will just call you a Mary Sue,
which is when you know how to do everything.
That was a big problem, not for me, but for men.
With Daisy Ridley and Star Wars is right.
People just called her a Mary Sue.
She knew how to do this.
She knew how to do that.
She knew how to do that.
That's how they wrote her, and that's what they gave her.
But it's like a complete issue at that point for them.
Well, it's also like, this is like probably a poor example
because you brought up really great films,
but I consider this a cinematic masterpiece, Twilight.
Oh, absolutely.
Like, Bella and Twilight.
Yeah.
Everyone ripped Chris and Stewart a new one.
they said she's a terrible actress. I said that that bitch can act her ass off. Oh did. Yes, I did. I
watched it on Delta on the Delta plane. I watched it. I watched the shit out of it. And she was
phenomenal. Absolutely. And I thought to myself, she was playing the part. That's how they wrote her.
They wrote her as a stuttery weirdo. Like that's how they wrote her. Also, these women don't
control what they're given. So these screenwriters give, and I actually have a really good
example of something in the industry that happens with screenwriting. It's like an inside screenwriting
joke. But to talk more about Kristen Stewart, I feel really bad for her because
A, she was put in a spot where you can't change the writing.
You're not going to go up to the screener say, I don't like this.
Especially the author of the books too.
Oh, yeah, like Stephanie Meyer, I'm sure it didn't intend.
But yeah, that's just how she was written.
It's out of her control.
Yeah.
And you know what I call that?
Great acting.
Great acting.
Because you bought it.
You bought her as a weirdo.
You know how hard it is?
That's why sometimes some actresses, I love when actors hate each other because they're acting.
They're proving it to you that they like each other.
She proved to you that she was this weirdo.
She stuttered.
She gave it her all.
That's why I said.
She was like so.
off-putting weird.
And you're like, why would any vampire
like this bitch? And then you think, too, so that's
how she was written. Oh, yeah. It's the same thing
with Megan Fox and Transformers.
Oh, that poor girl. Same thing with her in Transformers.
I said, she's a wonderful actress.
She's really, really smart. And
she got written off for so long because of how she
was written in those movies. And I said, and
she literally was like, if I'm going to do this, I'm going to make a
bag off of it. That's what she did.
Oh, yeah. And also, men hate when someone
is the titular hot character, but then
they're like, oh my God, but she's so hot. You have to
have a happy medium with these guys because it's so hard to have. There's no winning. There's no winning
for the woman. But God forbid, we talk about Robert Pattinson, like he's God and he's a fantastic
actor, don't get me wrong. But there's a big difference in conversation with Kristen and Robert.
Exactly. From Twilight. They were like, well, you know, that's just like the role he took at the time
and with her they were like, she can't act. Oh yeah. Which speaking of, you said Transformers,
this is a screenwriting story. So Shail Abuff submits to all these screenwriting awards.
Yeah. And he places every time over people that aren't in the industry yet.
So that's a screenwriting joke.
It's an inside screenwriter junk where people will submit for these competitions,
but they might not place because Shaila Buff is placing.
And some of his work is probably really great,
but he places every single time.
That's crazy.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, inside screenwriters, guys.
You heard it here first, guys.
That's honestly, I find that really unsettling,
especially for women, especially if you want to, like,
let's say you wanted to do a Transformers role.
Like, let's say you were like, okay, yeah, sure.
Like, I'll play a hot girl.
Or speaking of the new Transformers was,
with Mark Wahlberg, Nicole Peltz, was just his hot daughter.
Don't even get me started.
I saw that one and I said, what?
Yeah.
It's just like, it's almost like she's just there to be hot as opposed to like adding.
Yeah, she's so hot, but I'm just saying adding anything to her character arc or like, you know, like her intelligence or how she moves the story forward.
It's just like, it's a lot of this.
Oh yeah, very vo-mo.
Yeah, or a lot of actresses get in, like, they get scrutinized for vogueing their performances,
where it's a lot of just like,
like a lot of people said Galgado voked
for a lot of Wonder Woman
where it was just like,
she would be worried about how she looked
while she was like posing or holding the sword.
It's just that's...
Or that's how she was written.
Yeah, that's how she was written.
She's meant to look super hot and super cool
but be empowering,
but then when she's doing it, it's wrong.
Well, you know what's crazy is that's all Jason MoMA did in Aquaman?
Oh, and he looks so good.
That's all he did is a lot of hair.
Wait, do you remember what his first line was in that movie?
I do.
What is it?
It was permission to come aboard.
Okay, listen.
Listen to me.
I love him.
I think he's awesome.
Was that writing A1?
No.
But is he just so good looking?
And everyone was like, yes.
When they saw it, they were like, yes, yes, yes, yes, right?
But then you give that same energy to a hot girl.
And they're like, and the way they would make them say it to.
Yeah, they're like, I could do that.
They just give women jobs.
And it's the same shit.
It's the same exact thing.
He's topless.
He's good looking.
He turns his, he flips the hair, says permission to come aboard.
Absolutely.
There you go.
You know what I mean?
It's like, let's give the same energy to both of them.
And he sold tickets, you guys.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
And honestly, they're both just there to make a check.
Oh, yeah.
That's like, it's like, and you would do it for a check too.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I was going to be employee of the month.
And that's, like, that's true.
No, seriously.
That's why I'm like, what that lady was saying in her video as far as, like, how you write women.
Or I think body image is taken into account first and then the women come second.
Yeah.
So how they look, how they're going to be portrayed and then the writing comes in.
And then they're like, and then maybe, maybe brain later.
Oh, yeah.
We'll get into that later.
That'll be on set.
Like that'll be written in while she's acting.
Yeah.
I'll think of how she's acting.
She's like,
while I'm thinking maybe she could have thoughts.
And they're like,
we'll talk about it.
We'll have a meeting with the screenwriters.
You won't be there.
But we'll talk about it.
And I think it's the same thing too.
I saw,
I mean,
I'm not as plugged into the Marvel scene on TikTok.
I try to be.
Let me in, please.
Join.
We want you there.
Let me in, please.
I want to be a part of it.
I want to be on Marvel Talk so bad.
Oh my God.
You have to start.
I'd be banging on that door.
badly. I saw all the discourse about Wanda in the new Dr. Strange movie.
Multiple of Madness tickets throughout today.
And her like, her like arc as far as like how she's come through the Marvel universe.
But like that line in the trailer that everybody, all the dudes were, you do it and I become the
enemy.
The dudes were losing their minds.
And they were like, she enslaved a whole town.
And I was like, okay, all the heroes have done something terrible.
Yeah.
No one's a good person in those movies.
Everyone has done something really terrible.
I just think the way she did it, they just.
take it into account so heavily.
And I feel so bad for her because she's just sad.
She wants her kids.
Like, I don't know what you guys want her to do.
She wanted her children.
And I always think, too, at the end of the day, she's not real.
At the end of the day, one of the apologies.
Like, we need to unite.
Yeah.
We should rise up.
We need to rise up.
Rally the troops.
You know, that's why she's like, I saw a lot of people talking.
I saw J. Stubbs talk about it a lot.
Oh, yeah.
I had talking about a lot.
But I literally saw them talking about how like all, that's kind of the whole point of the
Marvel universe, all of them have bad in them.
It's like what they choose to do.
Their standards are very, again, the comic book actual story to now the MCU story that Kevin Feigy has so brilliantly brought forward.
I definitely think people just want this to be like such a set in stone thing.
She's allowed to make mistakes, you guys.
Like it's okay.
Yeah, but they're, and it's also because she's a girl.
She's a woman.
And she's also arguably one of the most powerful heroes in the universe.
Oh, if not the most.
Yeah.
So they're like so upset about that.
Now that Iron Man's out the game, they're like, boo, boo.
I think it's also interesting how she was written again
thinking of body image where she was given the corset to push up
the booze, the short skirt, emo wand if you know.
Yeah, literally my sister told me that, which I didn't know.
And I know that Elizabeth Olson, she was super uncomfortable.
She said she felt uncomfortable in the costume and now she's covered,
she has a costume that's still a corset, it still suits her body,
but now it's more comfortable for the actress.
Yeah, I think to the comics.
Costuming from a male standpoint where male directors have a vision
or, you know, the person who's arranging all of that,
Speaking of Harley Quinn, Margo Robbie and her first suicides got a costume, it was uncomfortable.
She felt really uncomfortable and it seemed, you can't tell on screen because she's doing her job.
She's doing it super well, but yeah, it's really hard.
We talked about that in my episode with Brittany, like, male female gays.
So, like, we were talking about how, like, the male gaze of Harley Quinn is the first suicides one.
Yeah, the female gaze is the second.
Oh, when she's in the red dress.
Yeah, yeah.
She's dressed much more, not appropriately, but for the, to suit the actress more.
Yeah, and her character.
That's why, like, the first one was all for news.
Oh, have you seen Birds of Prey?
Yes, I have.
And birds of prey, too.
I love the costume and I thought it was so quirky Harley.
She did such a good job.
I don't think we'll ever see another Birds of Prey.
I'm sad, but I would like to see it.
I liked that movie.
The soundtrack was great.
They looked wonderful.
I thought it was good.
It was entertaining.
I watched that on Delta Planes.
Shout out Delta's Plains selection.
Delta's movie selection, it's A1, honestly.
So some of the comments on this video, like this first one says,
Girls love humor when they say I think it's funny that they're happy and content.
I think it's funny that that they're speaking about this.
Shut up.
Yeah, about what women find funny.
I think it's funny that you think you know what women find funny when you've never
spoken to a woman in real life.
So it's pretty odd.
Can I say the B word?
Yeah.
Oh, get some bitches.
Like that's all I can say.
Like that's one of the best things you can respond to.
Like get some bitches before you say a thing.
No, seriously.
That's what one of my guests called it pussyless behavior.
Yes.
Oh my God.
Starved for it, bro.
No, yeah.
It's crazy.
Starved.
And some, when you reply back,
to comments like that and you use that language
they're like oh my god like you how like what
why would you say that you could say it but I can't
are you kidding me they're like
because it's screaming at me
oh no you're just complete lack of getting laid
I feel like Cassie Howard just like I could say it to her
but she can't say it to me like really
speaking of someone that dudes jerked to and they're like
she's so she's so deep
is Cassie from euphoria
um okay this next comment says as a male
to male writing coach
for those who write female lead movie scripts
you have to just write about the stuff on the cover of U.S. Weekly.
Oh, no.
What are you, 100?
Who reads U.S. Weekly still?
You read that when you're in the grocery store, if it's available to you're literally looking at it while you're about to grab a pack of gun.
Oh, yeah.
Or that's where you see the worst headlines for women, like pregnancy headlines, divorce.
Yeah.
This woman treated this person really badly.
Who cares?
The National Enquirer type of.
Oh, yeah.
Who reads U.S. Weekly?
What are you, when 90-year-old mom?
Yeah.
Or everything's online now.
So I would assume you guys see these headlines online because I would say, sorry.
I don't read them.
Okay, this one says, I regularly think I could write a novel, but couldn't write a male character because they apparently have no thoughts.
Oh, wow.
I mean, that's pretty funny.
Yeah, I think that was, yeah.
That was really good.
Who said women aren't funny?
That comment made me laugh.
Oh, yeah.
I think that, you know, sometimes it's just, it always leads back to like male, female and gays, like how men see women and perceive women is how they write women.
Oh, yeah.
So, like, if they understand women and how nuanced they are, then they'll be, like, it's, like,
to write that. I think now there's going to be a really big shift of female directing versus male
directing, which I, have you seen the mandel? No, Book of Boba Fett. No. Okay, well, Bryce Dallas Howard
directed an incredible episode of Book of Boeufet. Oh, I didn't know that. It was so fantastic,
but now female directors are needed more than ever and they seem to understand the source material
better than male sometimes. It's just their delicateness, they're able to really work around the
issues going on. And even for Amazon, Amazon Prime, I think, has 37% of the most female directors hired.
So it's like bringing the statistics in here.
I did my research.
She said anyways,
she has a white bird.
Doing the math.
Oh, yeah.
It's just interesting to see female directors now enter the space
in such a male dominated field.
And also we just had a female director win an Oscar Jane Campion.
Yeah.
Or Power of the Dog, which is wonderful.
But yeah,
they're more needed than ever.
Well, wasn't Turning Red directed by women too?
I believe so.
Yeah, it was.
So that's great movie.
Oh, absolutely.
Me and Spencer talked about that on our episode too.
How much he loved Turning Red is such a big fan.
It's so cool to see.
a person of color direct
a movie for children of color
who will have something to look forward to and share
an experience with.
Especially to talk about puberty and periods.
Oh, I related to that so heavily.
I was just going to say, I said the men
lost it. They were like,
this is why you can't have women
in the workplace because you're going to talk about
things that all women go through. That's crazy.
Oh, yeah. I think like you have a daughter.
You don't think she's going to have that? Oh, yeah. Or I think
they just aren't, they don't see themselves as handling
that issue. Like even the birds and the
bees talk with men and girls. It's very different.
The women are expected to handle that.
And especially the talk with puberty, you talk about periods.
It's very, especially if you're a person of color, I think, in the culture, it's not very, for the dads to take that.
No, no, no, no, absolutely not.
Well, and that's what, like, you'll have that talk, but you won't have talk about puberty or periods.
I remember when I got my first one, and my mom did not know what to do with me.
She was like, go in the bathroom.
Go in the bathroom.
It was one of those things where she, it wasn't brought up in her household when it happened to her.
So when it came to me, I'm her only daughter.
I know for a fact she was freaking out.
She's like, go in the bathroom.
Go in the bathroom.
Just go there.
And that was it.
And yeah.
Or I was never taught how to use a tampon if that's two TMI, but I really never was.
The first time I ever wore one was to a water park.
Oh.
Yeah.
I mean, there you go.
Yeah.
Like it's not brought up.
So to see kids now, girls are going to have a movie about that is great.
Yeah.
Well, I told someone, who was I telling me?
I think it was my boyfriend.
I was saying, well, you know, like when you go in the water, like it stops.
Oh, yeah.
And he goes, what?
Yeah.
He goes, yeah, he goes, it just stops.
I go, I mean, I don't know the exact science.
but yeah like that's why girls can swim on their period and stuff
I mean you still wear something oh yeah yeah he was so like
it's like magic to them yeah it's really it's really like I'm gonna need a few days
to process that information he was just so like blown away by it but that's why you
don't have to worry about stuff like that when you have movies that have proper representation
oh absolutely and that's why there's no better person to direct a movie about going through
puberty in a period for a girl a young woman than a woman
a woman and a woman of color and a woman on top of that especially dealing
with like you said the family dynamics of it all.
It's very interesting. I loved it.
Turning red, you have my vote next year
if you're nominated, which you will be.
I'm campaigning. I am solo,
but I'm campaigning.
Okay, so now we're going to play a little game.
Game show.
And it's called The Beckdale Test.
Yes.
So for those of you who don't know,
the Bechdale Test is basically something we apply
to any and all forms of media,
specifically movies.
And these are essentially the rules of the Bechdale Test, right?
That at least two women are featured
that these women talk
to each other and that they have to discuss something other than a man.
A man.
So, honestly, so Emily and I are going to say a movie title.
I'm going to say one to you, obviously.
And then you can tell me if you think it passes the Beggat Test.
All right.
Here's the first one.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Yeah.
I would say.
I would say that passes the Beggle.
Honestly, I only ever see Harmony with the two male leads.
So I won't lie.
I might see her with Jenny as her name.
I'm not a Harry Potter.
I'm not a Potterhead.
You know what?
Franchises are so interesting to me
because I've never been a Potterhead,
but I was such a big,
like everything else young adult,
oh, sign me up.
I was at that theater yesterday.
But yeah,
I was not a young adult lover of Harry Potter.
I find that shocking.
Wait, how old are you?
I'm 22.
Okay, that's why.
Because you all baby.
My mom loved it.
My mom loved Twilight.
She was such a big Harry Potter fan
and it never passed to me.
But once Marvel came, oh.
You said I was in there.
I was in there.
First one.
Yeah, and the answer is actually, yes, it does pass the test.
It says the major scene that makes it pass the test when Molly Weasley yells at
Belatrix is strange to stay away from Jenny.
I don't know if you saw the last one.
You saw, you've seen them all, right?
The Harry Potter movies.
Maybe.
I honestly don't remember.
I'm going to be so honest with you.
And people are going to, I remember I said that on a live once and someone's like,
you've never seen Harry Potter.
How old are you?
I'm 22 and I probably will say.
But I love Potter World at Universal.
But at least you're honest.
Yeah, yeah.
Sometimes people will be lying.
I can't lie about that.
Yeah, I've seen them all.
I mean, my boyfriend has never.
really seen the movies. You've seen a couple of them
and I tell them all the time. Actually
when I was on vacation recently
we were watching the fourth one together which
arguably is the best one and honestly... Is that goblet
of fire? Everyone loves that one. I know that.
It's the best one and honestly I'll die
on that hill. Oh yeah. But we were watching it
together for the first time and I like to make jokes
during movies. Some may say it's irritating
I find it hilarious. It's entertainment.
You're adding to the dialogue. And I never
talk when they're talking. My mom
can't stand it. She's like you guys talk too much
because my sister and I both do it. Oh yeah. We'd just be
Making jokes. Like literally the part, I don't know, you've seen the fourth one, right?
Yes, I have.
Okay, so you know how he goes to the graveyard?
And, like, every time he's near Voldemort, like his scarby hurt.
Oh, yes.
It, like, itches.
Yeah, yeah, he's literally like, uh, like that.
I told, I told Billy, like, my boyfriend.
I was telling him I was to see his pussy's tingling.
And, like, that's funny.
Oh, yeah.
But he's like, stop saying that when you were trying to watch the movie.
I'm like, I'm just saying, like, that's how it'd be tingling when he's around.
So I find that entertaining.
It's funny.
Call me crazy.
Laugh funny.
Yeah.
Do you know?
I'm all, that's my job as humor.
I'm just kidding.
Okay, so the first one, pass.
And obviously, that's, I honestly love the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
That was so awesome.
Big fan.
I would like to be, I just can't get into it.
I want to.
I've tried.
At least you've tried.
Some people don't even try and they're like, I don't want to.
Because they just don't want to like things that other people like.
Yeah.
Which makes you a bigger doubt.
I promise it's not me trying to be different.
I just can't get into it.
I can't.
I'm not that person.
It's honestly really deep, too.
Like, the storylines run so deep.
It's so sad and dramatic.
No, my mom dragged me to see the, that's so mean.
My mom dragged me to see the last one in theaters.
And I remember, I kept falling in and out of sleep again.
I'm not a potter and I tried to be.
And she was sitting there sobbing in a room full of other people.
And I was just like, oh, girl, get over it.
And then years later, Iron Man dies and I'm like, oh my God.
You're like, and your mom's like, get over it.
No, yeah.
She said, I've been waiting for this moment.
She felt her ear be hot.
She's like, that's what you get.
Okay, this next one for the Bechdel test is Ratatooie.
Colette
I love her
I wish I could have a French
I don't think it's like
La Vie en Rouge
Yeah literally
Does she speak to other women
I've seen this movie a million times
I'm gonna say it passes the back to us
I think it does
It's actually wrong
Oh no oh my God
Yeah it says the only female character
Is Celine Leclair
Who is seen in one scene in Colette
The sole female chef
They never interact
Oh yeah that's right
So it's the critic
Well obviously
you missed one lady and it's the old lady in the very beginning.
Oh, damn.
That was shooting the rats.
Oh, yeah.
And I only know that because...
Oh, those poor rats.
And I said, and I only know that because that brain...
That movie is tattooed on the inside of my brain.
It's running inside always.
Like, is that what lives in your head?
No, truly.
It's that movie alone.
It's that movie and what's another movie?
The Harry Potter and the Godlet of Fire.
I have so many jokes from that movie that I just make and people don't get.
And I'm like, you don't get it.
But that's okay.
Damn.
Mine is the minions.
They're running around in here.
Jen, I'm such a big Despicable Me fan.
Every time I go to universe, like, every time I drive into L.A.
and I see the minion guarding the city, I'm like, oh, my God, like you're here.
Like it's the first time.
Oh, every time I take a photo of it, I'm like, yes.
But I love the minions.
You just have a camera roll of only just a million.
I actually do.
There's a video of him.
He caught on fire in the parking lot one.
Oh, I remember that.
Oh, that was his.
And they played music that, da, da, da.
It was so funny.
But yeah, every time I go, I love the minions.
I remember the first time I saw Despicable Me, the very first one.
We took my little brother to go see it in theaters.
I was laughing my ass off.
It's funny.
I said this movie is so funny.
Oh, yeah.
Dude, I'm a big fan.
Honestly, I love movies like that.
I think they're so funny.
They're so good.
Okay, last one is the Avengers 2013.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
If I get this wrong, this is actually really sad.
It's bad for your brand, so don't get it wrong.
I might have to rebrand.
As a Harry Potter girl, then.
You're like I'm starting a new.
Who does she speak to?
Peggy Carter's dead.
Yeah.
It's Black Widow.
Who else is a Maria Hill?
Oh, shit.
shit. I want to say no because they are, but is it male love interest or is it like? It's just they
have to talk about something other than men. Oh, then no. Yeah. That movie doesn't know.
Absolutely. You're right. It does not pass. I'm going to say that black widow and that tight
little black suit. They were not speaking about anything other than the men she had a baby. No,
literally. It says the film includes Natasha Pepper, Agent Maria Hill, but these three women never
hold a conversation with each other during the film. Oh, wow. That's pretty wild. If I really think about
that, that's, that happens very few times.
The only time we saw Natasha and Pepper Inact was Iron Man 2 and Forward.
And then we had, unless it was, no, she wasn't an Iron Man one.
And then like the end game movie where she was rescue.
And even in Iron Man 2, is that the one where he meets her for the first time?
Yeah, and she like boxes John Fabro.
Yeah, yeah.
So in that one, they only talk about Tony.
Yeah.
So even then it doesn't.
I love a little Natasha and Tony.
They're one of my fave pairings like platonically.
Don't start shipping.
But yeah, I love them.
I know.
And Maria Hill, too.
She's Nick Fury's assistant.
What would you call her?
I don't know.
I'm not going to say sidekick.
Number one soldier?
Soldier.
Like she's there for him.
Or even if you've seen Spider-Man far from home,
like she's his right hand.
But then it turns out there's scrolls if you've never seen it.
That's a spoiler for you, for everyone there.
I have a, oh, I love to spoil things.
That's one thing I love to do.
Not for other people, but I went into end game reading the spoiler article for it.
I knew what happened.
I didn't want to be super.
Yeah, I think it's a lot of people, that takes away from the emotion.
I don't care.
I'm going to.
cry all the same.
I really,
I'm one of those people
that like,
if I'm watching a movie
and I don't know where it's going,
I'll look it up.
I'll literally,
I'll Wikipedia search the plot.
I'll read the whole thing
and I'll be like,
okay,
I can,
yeah,
I'll finish this.
Oh yeah.
And speaking of,
like,
now spoilers,
gossip in Hollywood,
that is a male
dominated field gossip in Hollywood.
I swear,
things get around the men
more than they do the women
I'm sure.
I'm absolutely sure.
And honestly,
they be lying.
Oh, yeah.
I feel like women are just
notoriously honest about shit.
Oh, yeah.
Especially in Hollywood.
Would you have to be?
Yeah, well, you have to prove yourself somehow.
Yeah.
Honesty is the way to go, apparently.
No, seriously.
Okay, so for this next video that we're going to show, this one, I'm just going to give you a little breakdown of it.
So basically, this user asks, why is it that men in Hollywood can be in as many movies as they want and be as oversaturated in the media as they want?
Nothing happens to their career.
But when women are in too many movies for a year, their careers can be ruined, right?
Yeah, that's interesting.
Yeah, so they use it.
examples like Jennifer Lawrence.
She faced a ton.
Ad Hathaway. That's a good one.
Oh yeah. Ed Hathaway is on here as well.
Literally. I remember that. Whoopi Goldberg.
Who else? Taylor Swift.
I have women now that I'm thinking of that I think are getting that same treatment,
which is Florence Pugh and Anya Taylor Joy.
Yeah.
I think they're being put in so many projects that people are now like, are you kidding me?
And they're so talented. They're beautiful.
I love Florence Pugh.
Yelaina now, Anya Taylor might be in a Marvel project soon.
She actually was in human.
which is really cool for X-Men.
But I think the market is becoming,
like, people are going to feel sick of them
as they did Jennifer Lawrence.
They have their true fans, but just so did Jennifer Lawrence.
Yeah, like, have you seen, I think her name's Kiara.
Kiera Brau.
I think that's how you pronounce her name on TikTok.
But she talks about, she created this theory
called the Jennifer Lawrence Pipeline.
Have you seen that?
Yeah.
Yeah, and her theory about how, like,
they get obsessed with these women.
They start making tons of movies.
Like, they're in everything, everywhere.
Everyone's so obsessed with them.
And then it gets,
point where people start getting sick of them.
So they start chewing them up and spinning them back out.
Oh, yeah. That happened so often.
And then they're just like, this girl's trying too hard.
She's everywhere.
She's trying too hard to be relatable.
Like, I'm sure Jennifer Lawrence, I mean, I'm sure she's a cool girl.
Like, I'm sure she's super nice and awesome.
Oh, cool girl syndrome in Hollywood too is a thing.
Yeah.
Cool girl.
And that's where she goes through that.
And that's literally where they moved her.
Same thing with Dakota Johnson.
Same thing.
They moved her into the like, now you're trying too hard to be cool.
Oh, yeah.
Almost like making her a picme.
Whereas she's not.
It's just what you guys are, you're boxing her in.
Whereas before everyone was jerking it to her and then all of a sudden they're like,
I can't stand this bitch anymore.
No, it's the people that gave you the platform and really like encouraged and supported you
that are the ones that are going to be the reason for a downfall.
Like I think even on TikTok, we see that with women in the entertainment industry.
It's such a difficult thing to maneuver.
Someone, someone DM me and told me, you're going through the Jennifer Lawrence effect.
And I was like, I don't know what that means and I don't think I want any.
What a rude thing to send you?
No, I was just like, well, thanks.
Like, I don't know what to do with that.
You're like, oh my God, thank you.
I'm like, so you think.
You think I'm going to be a star?
No, yeah.
It like happens to female creators and a ton of women in the industry, that over saturation.
Well, and I think a different, probably a key difference to that between, like, creators and, like, stars is that you are, they're inaccessible to you.
So you never get to see them be them because they're so.
You don't know anything about them.
Yeah, so they're so closed off to the, to the, like, society so that they start to formulate their own opinions about them.
They're like, why I bet you she's like this?
I bet you she's like this.
Whereas, like, you know, influencers, you see their everyday lives, you interact with them.
You feel like this very close pariscial relationship to them.
So you have people that would be like, oh, no, she's not like that.
Like, she's not like that in real life.
Like, you have people fight for you kind of thing.
Yeah.
Whereas with celebrities, it's just like mob mentality.
Oh, yeah.
They're like, you're right.
I hate her too.
You know what?
I'm so glad you brought it up.
But they do that to influencers too.
But I feel like it's easier to turn on a celebrity because they don't give you access.
Yeah, there's no accessibility.
You don't know who they really are.
Well, and I think that all the time.
I'm like, you see that we talked about,
I've talked with Britney too.
Like we talked about Timothy Shalameh.
Right?
And I think to myself, he could be annoying.
What if he's the worst person in the world?
We don't know that.
We have no clue.
Like, women are like, oh my God, like he's a man written by woman.
Is he?
Is he?
Are most met?
No.
Is he?
I said all of them.
I will say when I interviewed him, what a sweetheart.
I have to, I have to say it out.
Okay, there you go.
What a sweet.
He was so nice.
He was so sweet.
But obviously, that wasn't the real him.
It's like the front thing.
I'm so excited to be here.
But his personality shines through.
Yeah, you go.
Like when women let their personalities shine through,
they're such a different reception almost.
I agree.
And then there's room for error in that sense.
Whereas like when they're very closed off,
very, like, private, which they have every right to be.
Sometimes I think people are just easy to turn.
The art of privacy for men versus the art of privacy for women in Hollywood.
And I think there's a-lexa Demi does it beautifully where she does not like you into anything.
We don't know anything about this woman.
We don't even know her age.
She's just there to be an actress and a star.
I know.
I've seen so many theories with her like, oh, she's like 23.
And some people are like, no, she's 35.
Yeah.
whose guess.
I'm like,
her age is none of our business.
No,
it truly isn't.
Yeah.
I think that all the time too.
I'm like,
we only see what they give us access to see.
It's the same thing with influencers.
Oh, yeah.
Even if you feel like you're seeing their everyday life,
you're really not.
You're not.
At the end of the day,
you really don't know them.
So don't put them on a pedestal one.
And also,
too, don't be a weirdo.
Oh yeah.
Or one of my favorite things,
this is like a side thing,
but one of my favorite things influencers do is,
they'll say like,
my normal routine is like this,
but I'm actually going to do something different today
when we just want the normal routine so that's so interesting i do that a lot yeah like sometimes
people ask me all the time like oh i wish you would daily vlog girl you don't want to see my it's
boring oh yeah i just they just see this and they see all the stuff we do yeah well you say that now
and then you watch me like eating cereal at 12 p.m because that's what time i woke up oh yeah
with no pants on you're like this content's ass like they're literally not gonna like it is
boring i i i feel like my life is so boring outside of work i feel you which i'm very
grateful for. Oh yeah. I think we all need that. Yeah, I think a sense of quote unquote normalcy.
Yeah, absolutely. And so, okay, so the comments on this video, like the first one says, the first one says, the first one says the answer is misogyny.
There you go. Yeah, actually. Yeah, there you go. Honestly, the last movie I saw that was really funny. I saw the Lost City.
I love that movie. I loved it. It was wonderful. Exactly what I expected. Some people are like,
I don't like this. Sandra Bullock. Oh, Queen. She looks so incredible in that movie. Oh. She's so funny.
This is so interesting that you bring her up in that movie up.
Because she, I think, is one of the only female dependable stars in Hollywood left for a box office.
Box office is so important.
And some, like, I've heard people call actors and actresses box office poison where they're not bringing in revenue.
They're not bringing in the money that they thought they would.
If not one of the only dependable movie stars left today.
Yeah, like you just, she always hits.
Oh, yeah.
No matter what movie she's in.
Like the difference between the women and the men in that argument is the men aren't really ridiculed that much.
Whereas a woman, she didn't bring that much money in.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's so interesting.
Yeah, that's so true.
And that's why, like, Brad Pitt in that movie, so funny.
He's a, unbelievable funny.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, my God. He's a really talented actor and just, like, very wonderful.
Like, you can tell he loves what he's doing.
Yeah.
I love seeing, like, serious actors, like, like, ones at Oscar Award-winning Emmy-nominated, like,
any actresses.
And don't look up.
Yeah.
She's hysterical.
Just, like, in the most slapstick comedy movies.
Like, like, Brad Pitt, like, it's like seeing a dog walk on its time likes to me.
I'm like, it's so funny that you're in this, like, so dumb movie.
Like, dumb in the sense that it's just funny for being funny.
It's not, like, it's not winning any awards.
But I think it should have.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Academy.
And you know what?
The VMAs and the MTV movie awards are going to eat it up.
Yeah, they really are.
I get my true entertainment because that's where my movies are recognized.
That's where my movies are recognized.
Oh, yeah.
Or, like, those awards versus, like, the real awards.
I think, like, Megan Fox said it best, we talked about her earlier, but she said,
I don't care to win a BAFTA.
I just want to be a pop.
Like, there's pop actors.
and there's more serious actors and bridging those two when the actors can do that is great.
Yeah, and she's great.
Mm-hmm.
That's why I think about actors like Channing Tatum, right?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, yeah.
Is what it is.
Have you seen Free Guy?
No, okay, listen.
Oh, my.
Listen, don't hate me.
Don't hate me.
I tried to watch it.
Did you get to where he's in it?
I watched 30 minutes and I didn't laugh once and I said, you know what?
We'll try again another day.
I promise you.
My sister literally told me she's like, you're an idiot.
Like, watch the whole thing.
It's so funny.
I was like, I didn't laugh once and I gave it a shot.
I literally was sitting there.
You gave it 30 minutes.
There was another hour to go.
There was another, you could have given it 30 more and Channing would have showed up.
And you would have been like, yes.
He's so funny in it genuinely.
I honestly think that Channing Tatum's in the same lane as like Dwayne the Rock Johnson to me,
who I absolutely adore, love him to death.
He's the best.
But it's like they know exactly what lane they're in.
They're like, I'm just a funny guy.
Or in a way, they play themselves in every role.
And we love to see it.
Exactly.
But is there women that can do that?
Is there women we know that do that for Hollywood?
No.
They have to transform every time.
Yeah.
One of my, wasn't the women that I would say is like Melissa McCarthy.
I think she's so good at improv.
She is so good at comedy.
She can transform anything.
But like how we're talking about Dwayne and Ryan being just being themselves,
not even being character.
Yeah.
Like Robert Downey Jr. does the same thing for Iron Man.
He's literally Tony Stark.
Yeah.
We don't see talk of women doing that.
No, it's true.
Melissa McCarthy love her.
I do really love her.
Dude, Tammy, when I tell you like, when I watch Tammy, Tammy got a lot of shit,
I was dying when I watched Tammy
Oh yeah
My mom and I watched it together
I was laughing like I was like
She was in right in front of me
Doing a fucking Santa fruit
Oh she was hysterical
No she was so she was so funny like
I'm sorry we're talking about like movies and whatever
But there's the part in the movie where she's like
Talking about how wonderful the deer is
Have you seen Tammy you see Tammy?
You know where she's in her grandma
They wake up in the woods
She's like oh my God like it's so beautiful
Her grandma oh my god it's so beautiful
So beautiful and then Tammy's like
Yeah yeah she scares away
She's like what the fuck you're talking about
get out of here.
No.
That made me laugh so hard.
I almost threw up.
Oh, yeah.
So I was like, did Academy Award me?
That's why I said,
don't put me in the Academy
because I'm submitting Tammy for the awards.
Oh my gosh.
I'm like put this in there.
There's so many movies throughout the year and especially I think like
recognizing women in comedy in an academy sense is so difficult for the Academy to do.
But recognizing like men in superhero movies is a more easier thing.
Not to discredit them because that's an incredibly hard thing to get into.
Like I remember Mad Max Fury Road was nominated in a Charlie's there and I thought deserved a nomination.
There's so many women who can.
can do that for the academy and it's just like horror.
Yeah.
Horror's never recognized in the academy like it should be.
Just like I saw Hereditary.
Ooh, and Tony Colette deserves.
Yeah, she'd give her her flowers for that movie.
Honestly, Hereditary is one of the scariest movies I've ever seen.
Like, like truly like I was up for hours after.
I had to watch, I had to watch, you don't even watch something nice to like clear your brain.
Oh yeah.
I put like a good cartoon on.
I'm like, you know, I'm just going to set it down.
I put on like Moana or something to like hard reset my brain because I'm like,
I don't want to think about that when I go to sleep.
Oh, yeah.
I was up for days.
I literally could not see that that movie was so like horrifying, but in a generally like wonderful
movie.
Like what a masterpiece.
And Tony Collette was so good in that movie.
Tony Collet.
I loved Knives Out.
She's a fantastic.
I loved Knives Out too.
That's a wonderful.
Did you think he was the villain?
No, I really didn't.
I love when I can't tell.
Sometimes I figure it out and I'm all damn.
But that one really had me going.
I had no idea.
Like when he like started saying all that stuff to Anadam or so it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You really met what you said and you did it, didn't you?
And she was so good in the movie too.
See, give them their flowers.
Give them their flowers.
Yeah.
And someone's just like extra notes on here.
Like things like The Rock, right, like we said, Ryan Reynolds was the one I was thinking of.
The one that's like in everything.
He's in every movie.
Seriously.
Have you seen the Adam Project?
I saw, okay, this is so dumb.
But sometimes I'll tell people, yeah, I saw it because I watched Trixie and Katia watch it.
So I'm like, oh yeah, for sure.
I know all about it.
Oh, when you get the review, then you're like, boom, I saw it.
Yeah, like, I don't think.
I got all the high points.
Oh, yeah.
I saw Jay Soob's talk about how much she didn't like that, though.
The Adam Project?
Yeah.
I think males loved it.
I saw so many.
Male reviews loved it.
They ate it up.
Yeah, and then I saw, like, female reviews and it wasn't the same.
Female reviewers versus male, again, there's so many things that go into it.
Like the perspective is so much different.
Oh, yeah.
And yeah, see, they brought up Bradley Cooper, The Rock.
Like, they never have to, like, go away, like, take time off.
Like, Jennifer Lawrence, like, she was, like, you said, in every single movie, killing it,
and then she had to, like, take a step off of a while.
Yeah.
I think.
Her Anne Hathaway is another example.
I think also after these women all won their Academy Awards,
I want to specifically talk about Lupita Nyango,
who doesn't really get work right now, which is insane to me.
She might be very picky with her projects, but you just won an Academy Award.
You're a sought-after actress.
She's in Black Panther, which is amazing.
But I want more work for the women that clearly can do it.
Same with Octavia Spencer.
I want more work.
We're recognized for it.
Yeah.
But like men, they win one.
They're like, get that guy.
Get him in a box office smash.
Get him in the next Netflix hit special.
Or any male actor that does anything, Marvel movie right now.
Bring it to a Marvel movie right now.
I know like Harry Styles being in a Marvel movie.
That's wild.
Now I have a lot of opinions about that and they're all positive before anyone gets on me.
It's just interesting to see.
I want to see the tapes.
I really want to see an audition tape.
Did I said the same thing.
When I saw him come in in the Eternals, I literally was like, I'm so interested to see what that audition process look like.
Because again, it could also be a clout thing,
but no one's ever going to say that about men.
I don't think so, yeah.
But, like, if you did say it about women,
I'm just saying it doesn't hurt.
Oh, yeah, it doesn't.
When you're the topic of conversation,
when you're very, very popular.
Oh, yeah.
And also, this is also another fun fact,
which I'm sure you're well aware of
because you're an influencer too.
Bringing it.
When you have, like, an almost entirely female demographic,
people are more likely to work with you because women buy things.
Yes, absolutely.
Women show up.
Women are the leave consumers.
Yeah, women move units.
You know what I'm saying?
Oh, yeah.
They're a makeup.
break. So as I'm saying, his audience is 99% female. So like, I'm sure it didn't hurt that he's very
popular. That didn't credit scene. I remember I was in theater and everyone I was with and the premiere was like,
oh my God. No, seriously. Same. And I, and I'm not, and I'm not knocking him. Listen, I'm a big Harry's. I'm a hairy girl.
Did you like as it was? Have you heard the new song? I loved it. It was so good. He can, he can do no
wrong in my eyes. So don't come from me. Harry, Harry girls. What do they call? Harry's.
Harry's. Herries. Yeah. Herries. I'm a hairy girls.
my hairy girls
that's why I'm going to call you
on hairballs
yeah
no seriously
I'm like don't come for me
I think he's gonna do wonderful
I'm sure he's very talented
well he signed apparently a five movie deal
contracts in the Marvel universe now
they stop doing like these big 10 year contracts
from my knowledge
someone might correct me
but yeah he signed a long thing
but so did Salma Hayek
for Eternals
and that was talked about for one day
no seriously
and her character was murdered in the movie too
She will, I...
Spoiler.
Also campaigning for her to come back.
You know what's so annoying.
I've been campaigning for a black widow to come back.
I don't know if it's...
I don't know if it's true.
I don't know anything about the comics.
I just be saying stuff.
She will have a hand in production.
So I'm excited to see what they do.
I'm like, I don't know.
They open the multiverse.
Maybe there's another one.
Oh, she could totally show up.
That's what I'm saying.
The multiverse of madness.
The cameos in that are crazy.
That's why I said.
Who knows?
I just be saying that.
My brother is such a big Marvel nerd.
He always gets so like,
it's not she's never coming back i'm just saying that's a lot i want to look over but that is a lie
i'm just saying i'm just saying we don't know the future oh yeah and i don't know anything
don't take my word for it i don't know anything but basically just to wrap up what's your overall
thoughts on like women in hollywood their treatment all that kind of stuff like what do you think
like where do you see it going i feel like it's moving in a much more positive direction yeah i
talked about the rise of female directors for streaming services i think we're going to see that rise
filmmaking in general.
It is moving in a more positive direction.
I think it's moving in a more positive direction
for a certain group. There's a lot of work
to be done for people of color. There's a lot of work to be done for
black people. And that's the thing that like
bothers me the most is there's still
stereotypes. There's still all of this. And while we're moving
forward, are we really? Yeah. Like for me
being Latina being Mexican American, I
want to see Mexican stories. I want to see a
rom-com with a Mexican actress who's not going
through a traumatic situation. Yeah. Who's not
going back to Mexico with an ugly filter over it.
I want to see that. Is that a
No, seriously.
I want it to move forward.
Like living, enjoying life.
Yeah, living and enjoying life, being in the moment.
There's so many rom-coms that could deal and work with people of color, but it's just getting them in those rooms.
Same, honestly.
Well, and I talk about this all the time, but I'm someone.
So, like, my representation starts and stops with the rock.
So I'm like, brother, I see you, bro, we out here together, bro.
Malo Lalo L'i Sui Fu.
That's what I always say.
We out here together, bro.
It's just you and me.
That's why I've been telling him to hit me up.
And I think also for people in the space, like, bring more people.
and you have the power to push new talent forward.
Yeah,
start doing it more and more.
Yeah,
call out.
Like,
yeah,
genuinely,
like that's why I think it,
it's probably the same thing for you too,
like being a person of color also,
where like people are like,
I never got to see people that looked like me.
Specifically in the influencer space too,
because I never see any famous someone girls.
I mean,
unless you count Diana Jane,
but she's not someone,
she's Tongan.
Yeah.
Oh yeah,
I remember her.
I love for the harmony.
I was a fan,
so I know her.
So really,
that's why I was like,
With the representation part, I think that's so important.
Especially in mainstream stuff, like, seeing you on the Oscar's red carpet, that's incredible.
Thank you.
That's why it's so important.
Every time I talk about representation, it makes me, like, emoche.
Yeah, me too.
Because I always think, like, kids like us, like, never had shit like that.
Oh, yeah, no.
Like, when I first saw Black Panther, I was, like, moved to tears.
Yeah.
Because I was like, can you imagine all the kids seeing this Shang Chi?
Yep, Shang Chi.
Or I think now also not bringing it from the smaller screen to the bigger screen,
Oscar Isaac being a literal Latino actor being Moon Knight is huge.
That's a huge representation.
Samaheik being Ajak.
That's huge, Mexican Arab.
It's important to let these little kids know that there's someone that looks like them on there.
I don't know if you saw the video of her talking about putting the suit on for the first time.
And Brian, Brian Terry Henry also talked about it where he just was brought to tears.
Oh, that's so sweet.
It's so important because as a child, you don't see that.
Yeah, especially for women.
That's why I said for women even more so.
Oh, yeah.
That's why I said.
And also, The Rock, if you want to hit me up, buddy.
let me know.
Drew's available actually.
I'm here.
I'm here.
I clear my sketch for you, buddy.
I'll bring your big bald head.
He needs to come on the comment.
Yeah.
He needs to come to the comment section.
I'm sure he has a lot to say.
As I say,
I make fun of baldies,
but I would never make fun of you.
I say this all the time.
I said bald men literally,
it's like not all bald men are misogynes,
but all misogynists are bald or balding.
Yeah, absolutely.
You're very right.
You can see the creasing and the hairline right here.
That's what I'm saying.
And my dad's bald.
Oh, wow.
Listen, I'll bring you here.
I'll bring my dad here.
You guys can sit next to each other.
It'll be a vibe.
Yeah.
And then I'll bring Emily and Emily can come too.
I'm going to be like, hey, guy, the rock.
I mean, it ties in.
He's going to be Black Adam, right?
Yeah, he's going to be in the DC.
That universe, my goodness.
I know.
I wish he was coming to Marvel.
Oh, all of them actually will.
I absolutely know.
You think?
Jason Momoa's signed something and quickly.
You can do it.
Same with him too.
I think that was, I think it's incredible.
That's something I talked about way before I became an influencer.
We're so off track.
but anyways, with Jason Momoa specifically,
when he signed on to be Aquaman,
I thought that shit was cool.
I was like, that's so awesome.
But then I thought it was missed opportunity
because I felt like you could have made his family
in the ocean all Pacific Islander.
Wouldn't that have been so cool?
Then you could have made his mom white or dad white.
Yeah, I remember that.
I remember these walls.
They look the same age and he's like, Mom.
Oh my God, Mom.
Is that you?
No, yeah.
And I love Nicole Kidman.
Don't get me wrong.
Oh, yeah, beautiful woman.
Wonderful.
Ageless.
Oh, I interviewed her as well.
Oh, what porcelain skin?
Like, talk about just flawless.
She's frozen in time.
Actually, like, Age of Adeline's type of stuff.
She literally is frozen in time.
Benjamin Button type of, like truly.
Well, anyways, Emily, thank you so much for coming on.
I had a blast.
I learned a lot.
Yeah.
I learned a lot from you too.
I love talking to you about movies, girl.
Thank you.
You really be out here.
I love it.
This is my favorite thing.
It's one of the main reasons I want to do what I want to do.
I owe it all to the women who've done it before me.
Love that.
Same here, honestly.
And I'm so happy to have you.
Thank you so much for joining us today.
