Welcome to The Ringer Podcast Network. I'm Liz Kelly. Fresh off of Talk the Thrones, the Ringer is introducing a new live Twitter after show covering season two of HBO's Big Little Lies. Immediately after each episode, the Ringer's Amanda Dobbins and ESPN's Mina Kimes will be going live to give their initial reactions and break down everything we saw in the episode. And to kick us off, there will be a special season two preview airing on Friday, June 7th at 12 p.m. Pacific. So join Amanda and Mina for Big Little Live every Sunday on Twitter. And welcome back to tea time. This is a weekly pop culture podcast on the Ring of Podcast Network. I'm Liz Kelly.

I'm Kate Hallowell. And I'm Amelia Whitemeyer. And today we're giving our second thoughts regarding Cannes. Catherine Schwarzenegger has a new podcast. A dog podcast. Yeah. Look out for that one. And then we're going to try our best to once again relate to Ringer Pondack.

It's an ongoing attempt from us. Every time you hear the bell, we have to change topics no matter what. And now it's spilled tea. Okay. First category is T-Time checks in with last week. We did some predictions and kind of like first looked at the Cannes Film Festival. Now it's wrapping up or it's like in the thick of it. So we are doing like checking in again, Can 2.0.

The main thing I heard personally was that this year is quote a hot mess in terms of organization and like the staffing and stuff like that. Apparently hundreds of ticket holders got turned away from the once upon a time premiere, which we're going to talk about in depth. But just first off, I guess people who have been coming. coming to this festival for like more than a decade. They had tickets that were scanned into the system and then still couldn't be admitted in. Yikes. Apparently 200 balcony ticket holders were, quote, held hostage on the red carpet, which is a bit traumatic. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But you have to know, like, the people who are attending this festival. French people being like, how they're out of you? Yeah. And apparently, they like, all the A-listers came in. They got inside, no problem, thank God. But then, and then the orchestra and mezzanine ticket holders were fast-tracked into the venue, which is just, the drama. The balcony ticket holders

couldn't get into the venue. So people were calling this an absolute catastrophe, blah, blah, blah. So that's first off. Actually, also speaking of catastrophes, L. Fanning, again, she looks great. The Superior Fanning. The Superior Fanning. She suffers for her art

because bitch fainted. Because she had a corset dress on, and it was just too freaking tight. Yeah, she like keeled over at the dinner table. It's not good. She didn't makes it seem like you can do that to your body, but you can't. She's a freaky robot, and anyone who actually wears a corset, well, faint, like our poor girl, El Phamene. But she looked great at least she did, and the next day she showed up in like this Dior, like vintage hat. I loved it. Incredible.

She really bounced back really well. Good for her. The main thing that we need to talk about with Cannes. Wow. Okay. I'm going to take a deep breath. I'm taking you a deep breath. I'm on the verge of tears. As, you know, if you know me, like on Twitter or whatever, not, you know me. You know that, sorry, you know that I fucking cannot wait for once upon a time in Hollywood. It's nearly three hours. Honestly, let's make it four hours. Quentin Tierentino, problematic fave. Yes, I know he's not like the most media trained person. Sure. You could say that, yeah. Yeah, but he makes great movies. There was a trailer that just dropped.

It looks so good. This trailer sold me more than anything else. I've seen more than the pictures and the photosheets and blah, blah. This trailer was like absolutely amazing. Yes. And we also realized watching this trailer, that's why Lena Dunham knows Brad Pitt is because the movie together there. And I do remember when she got cast and everyone was like, really?

But then there was a thousand other people cast in this movie. Like there are so many people like popping up in this trailer that I don't feel bad about for getting Lena Dunham. Who are you most excited to say this one? I was excited that we had just been talking about the fanning debate, and then Dakota Fanning popped up in this trailer. So she heard us being like, Ella's superior and was like, just wait.

I'm going to join the Manson gang. This is a good get for Dakota because I feel like either one of them could have played that role. They've got the same light-haired, do-eyed 60s, 70s love. For sure. But good for Dakota. Her agent had to probably muscle through some things to get her that slot. But happy for her, yeah. And the rave reviews are in.

And people get out like, what, a seven-minute standing ovation? Yeah. Fucking Cam. So I'm really excited. The drama. Yeah, the drama. The other thing that we have to talk about is Marga Robbie playing Sharon Tate. And I want to say, justice for Hillary Duff, who is also playing Sharon Tate.

Oh, my God. You are kidding me right now. No, I am not kidding right now. She's playing Sharon Tate in the haunting of Sharon Tate. It currently has a-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-trap. It has 1.5 stars on TV. Wow. And the problem mostly is that Sharon Tate's sister, Deborah,

has been very vocal about the women playing her deceased sister. She's been downright bitchy. She has. She called Hillary Duff's portrayal classless and horrible. And then she also said Jennifer Lawrence wasn't pretty enough to play Sharon and was like, I know I can't really say that, but it's true. I have high standards. So does she approve of Margot?

She does. She says that she played it beautifully. She was like humble and just like the sweet-natured person that her sister really was. She's gorgeous too. She is. But, you know, poor Hillary Duffer. tough. Marco Robbie.

To play there at the same time as Marco Robbie at the camp. That's really tough. Extremely tough. Also really quick, huge win for me. Timothy Salomey was in the Jordan Desert shooting Dune. And he decided to drag his ass to can to show up to this premiere. Good. He's got like these.

Curls have reached a new level of like wild and crazy where you can tell he's been in the desert for like a month. I was like, oh yeah, this is a new level of like dirt bag chic. Yeah. But yeah, it was really exciting for me to see him back with humans. Yeah. I really don't know how to transition to the other thing we're checking in us. So I am just going to say we're moving on. And a follow-up to our conversation last week about the Hollywood Walk of Fame and how only your true best friends show up for your ceremony and give you a speech. Our guy, Guy Fieri, got a Hollywood Walk of Fame this week on Wednesday. And I want to say congrats, first of all. He gets shot on quite a bit by the food community and, like, those who are very high-brow, culinary. artist. But he is pretty beloved in like the general public, his brand, his icon. Yeah. He just for those who are Guy Fieri naysayer, he has six bestselling cookbooks and he has

a series of self-branded restaurants going from Virginia all the way to South Africa. They're all over the world's people. So he deserves this walk of fame. He's a global superstar. Most importantly, Matthew McConaughey was there to deliver Guy Fierry's speech, which is the best thing that's happened all week. I wish you could talk only about this. He gave the speech at the ceremony and said that they became friends because at one point Matthew got all of his food recommendations from Guy Fieri because he was so obsessed with Diner's Drives and the Dive, which is an iconic TV show. Also, just really quick, will you please recreate what you told me before we got on Mike about Guy Fierry? I tell you all my secret thoughts about everything off mic, so this feels bad. But I don't know.

You can say it. I don't care. We were talking about Guy Fierry, and she just totally unironically and earnestly goes, Guy Fierry is so legitimately fucking cool. He is! He absolutely is. And I won't back down. What is it?

Like the crocs, the flame shirt. It's his like de-gap attitude. He's rocked that same looks like for his entire life. He like is unapologetically into like really bad food for you. That's like very uncool these days. That's true. Love dairy. Love saturated fats.

Which like really is like coupon now. So cool. Yeah, it's very cool. I love an unofficial is his worst take over the week. Thank you. Okay, moving on to our next category. It's this week in social media. Kate, start us off.

It's a robust category. First of all, Fleabagg Season 2 came out, May 17. TV Twitter, which maybe just me am a member of, has been overrun with hot priest discourse. Kaya is like looking at me, she's viving with me on this. Everyone else in the room is like not that into it. Andrew Scott plays a priest on Fleabagg Season 2. Spoiler warning.

There's like, oh, he's basically the love interest for Phoebe Waller Bridge in this season. The sexual

chemistry of Andrew Scott and Phoebe Waller Bridge in the season of Fleabag is life changing. And Dyrbag priest gifts have

taken over Twitter. People cannot deal with the priest thirst. Wow. And just watching like largely female professional

TV critics like lose their shit over gifts of Andrew Scott like speaking in an Irish accent or like

rubbing his hair. or just looking at Phoebe Wally Bridge has really been an experience. What's so good about him? Also, why is he called Dirtbag Priest? He's kind of a dirtbag priest. Oh, now I get it. He sucks. He says fuck a lot.

He's, you know, he's the classic dirtbag priest. Wow. And everyone just needs to watch Fleabag to experience it for themselves. I really can't put it into words, but it's been really fun to watch Twitter just lose their shit over it this week. Tea Time is really pro-thirstyen after weird. I know. That's why I'm telling you. I'm telling you.

All right. next thing in social media. It's just Kim, you know, taking to Twitter to air her grievances because that's what she does. That's what, no, normal people don't do that. They like call the service hotlines, duh. And but she was like, hey, Jack in the Box, I'm not going to out you, but like, can someone contact me? Because I have a couple of complaints. Pronto.

And it's just like, Kim, stop. They were like, we can't DM you. I think Kim Kardashian would have had a nice. easier time calling the CEO of Jack in the Box directly on his cell phone or home phone. Like the fact that she put it on Twitter, she's almost too big to do that. You know what I mean? 100%. Bealist celebs like Julian Huff can be like at Delta. My flight's been delayed 10 times. What the fuck? Kim Kardashian is like even above that, you know? Also, real quick, who goes to Jack in the box? Whoa. Anyone? I mean, I haven't in a while, but like I've been once. I mean, I don't.

No one goes to Jack in the Box. Kim Kardashian. Don't go to Jack in the Box. As someone who works in social media, like, it's annoying when brands try to jump on it. Even though, you know, we have to sometimes. But, like, there were at least 14 different brands that jumped on this tweet. Oh, I know. That were like SMH, definitely not the move. And just like Wendy said that. So it's like all these fast food chains came out trying to be cool on the Internet.

But steak. Stake. Had the same sentiments. Kim, why are you going to Jack in the Box? L.O.L. You and Steakums really are the same page. I actually run the steak. It's a side gig.

This is a weird category. Other thing in social media this week is Leonardo DiCaprio is a basic B-in-Stagrant. As we've been discussing the Cannes Film Festival, he's here with his girlfriend, T-Times favorite, Cammy Moreau. Oh, is his favorite? My favorite couple of all time. So they're about there. She's actually promoting her own movie, Mickey and the Bear, but has been walking the red carpet and obviously supporting Leo. But the thing that stuck out on social media this week was,

they're both staying at the hotel to Cap Eden Rock and Antib and they were posing they were sitting outside the like very beautiful, very picturesque hotel and Leonardo DiCaprio, A-list actor since like 1982 is on his effing iPhone taking pictures of his girlfriend

Cammy Morone like every other man on the streets of Los Angeles named Mike. I could not believe she was posing she was like flunching it. She's in his beautiful white sentence. the top. Like, he is no better than the men on the streets of, like, Echo Park taking pictures of their girlfriends.

You start Jay-Z doing it. If Jay-Z can be an Instagram boyfriend for Beyonce, Instagram husband. Yeah. No one's above being an Instagram. This is giving me. He does it for Chrissy Tegan. Yeah. Everyone does it.

This reminds me of when he was, like, with Blake lively, kind of. And they were like, she was setting him doll picks. Do you remember? Doll picks? No. What are you talking about? No. You can't just throw that.

Sorry, we'll discuss that later, I guess. Put a pin in that and I'll come back to it. The other thing. The other thing that stuck out was that he was doing it horizontally, which... Oh. Like, this is why he's so not with it. Right. Because you got to do that.

This is why he's like 40-something. Yeah, his technique needs work. Yeah. Other thing, just, again, a really odd category is this week, Lil Nas of Old Town Road fame. Yes. Gifted with postmates, Billy Ray Cyrus of Maserati. And I... Who do?

That's a pretty confusing sentence, so I'm going to rephrase that. Lil Nas and Billy Ray Cyrus. Cyrus of Old Town Road fame. Yes. How do you say this? It's so confusing. Postmates gave Billy Ray Cyrus a Maserati. But it was from Lil Nas, right?

Yes. He used Postmates to deliver a Maserati. Can they do that? Apparently, I mean, from just for Lil Nas. I have been on Postmates before and like at first was just food. Well, no, I mean, I don't. Trust me. I've had the same guy, like, text me a couple times being like, I'm outside with your food.

But anyway. Gros. They, you can order like makeup, like, mess. Like Mac makeup from there. This is a Maserati. Right, I didn't know that. I didn't know you to do non-food things. Yeah, you could do CVS.

You can do all types of things. Huh. Obviously, Postmates wanted the shout out and wanted the cloud. Anyway, so he was like posting all up on Instagram. He drove in. The Postmates driver was driving the Mazurati. A little nausea. He was blasting Old Town Road.

Knox on the door says like, come outside of me. Billy Ray is like, oh my God, no, no, no way. Billy Ray is hard. That was a great Billy Ray impression. Mops in the driver's seat, they pull away, and the postmate's driver is in Billy Ray Cyrus's driveway, just waving goodbye. Like, he's got, like, he was left in Billy Ray Cyrus's house. There are worse places to be left, I guess. I mean, I suppose.

And the only thing that I really want to talk about is that accidentally, like, little gnauz, like, kind of pans down to knock on the door. Yeah. Billy Ray Cyrus's doormat says, please remove your Balenciagas. Incredible. Does anyone, this hush fell over the room? Like, is that not the weird thing? I expect that from like Chris Jenner, not Billy Ray. I don't know. Billy Ray. Also, why is Linus buying a Maserati for Billy Ray?

Who has a money? Seriously, though. It's got to be Billy Ray. I am no idea. Wow. That's crazy. Okay, last thing in this cursed category. Yes, this is short. But, you know, it's Memorial Weekend, is this month coming Monday. And I think we're all looking forward to a patriotic tweet from Mr. Worldwide himself, Pitbull. Because if you look, if you Google Memorial Day tweet Pitbull, there are several tweets that come up links. It's a yearly tradition for him. He says something like, today we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for America.

Hashtag Memorial Day. And then it's always a picture of him with like some American flag background. It's the weirdest thing. It's like Photoshop where it's like half him, half American flag. Yes. Really dramatic. I did not know about this until just now when Amelia blessedly shared. it with us.

It's incredible. It just, yeah, I'm going to all those really not tasteful tweet. Like,

remember when Rihanna it was like 9-11's like, like, remembrance and she posted, she's like,

hashtag re-R-I-H member. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you can't.

Or when the Spaghettios had like Pearl Harbor. It was hashtag Reflect. Oh, reflex, sorry. It's just not good.

That was from September. 2012. That's too recent. That's way too recent. 2007 situation. You do not say that. It's not good. It's not that year. Wow. Wow. Moving on. Please. Okay. Next category is T-Times' biggest relationship news ever.

Amelia, start us off. You know, I'd like to say this is a happy moment for me and the world, but it's not. It's fine. Colin Jost of S&L fame, I guess. Quote. Fame. And Scarlett Johansen recently got engaged. I think they've been dating for a like a year, a couple years. And all I'm just going to say is that if you want definitive proof that straight white male privilege is alive and thriving, look no further than Colin Jost's Wikipedia page.

Wow. Yeah. Yeah. In general. Also, there have been some really good tweets about this where people are like, an interracial couple getting married. And people were like, hashtag Jost in the shell, like ghost in the shell. Oh, my. Don't.

Honestly, that will never not be a part of Scarlett Johansson's brand. Agree. And Colo Joe doesn't have a great, he's also like epitome white person brand. They deserve each other, honestly. They really do. Congrats to them both. Kind of, not really. Also, a secret wedding ceremony is a very in right now.

Zoe Kravitz just, it was just reported to us weekly that Zoe Kravitz and Carl Glouciman, I believe is how you pronounce it. I could be totally wrong. Got married in 2018 at some point recently. He proposed February 2018. They had a very super chill secret wedding, apparently, and then they're

going to have a big ceremony in France. Of course. Just like Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, big celebration in France. Yeah, it's very popular. That's the thing. Maybe other things. This is some bad news. Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons are officially done.

And not only are we reporting on it, but page six, people, Cosmo, L, and even Fox News. Everybody's talking about this breakup. It crosses political boundaries. Tees out with their finger on the button this week. Exactly. And guess what? I look through all of these articles. No one has any damn info but that they just broke up, which means Chris Jenner leaked it to the masses. But she is doing some classic like 20-something post-breakup social media because she's posing some Instagram stories that are very cryptic. Tyler the creator off of his new album has a song that's titled I don't love you anymore. Oh, she posted that. Then she was with some lyrics that were like, call me, blah, blah, blah. So she's going through it. They've been linked actually since March. March of last year. So it's been a while. Although she's in the best way, kind of a man-eater because she's young. She's beautiful. She's rich. Like, go off and go. Her name also fits with

like anyone. Like she's the, like, Hendle, Bendel. That's true. I know. She could go for anyone next. Best of luck to you, Kendall Jenner. The world is her oyster. And then last thing, Psalm West. Salm West. Baby boy, born. Fourth child of the Kardashian Empire. Honestly, the name fits with the brand. It sure does. It does. Yeah. You know. Yeah, they really At least like a tweet and like a picture of him in like this sort of like crib bassinet. And everyone was like this is such an unsafe sleeping environment. They had 17,000 blankets on that child. It's like one big pillow bed inside of another crib.

It's mid-May. And calabasasas. You don't need that kind of like weather protection. Everyone was like, I can't even focus on the name. I'm like too worried about this child's sleeping environment. So that's tough. But, you know, Psalm West. It's fine.

I'm really, really excited about this category. This is Tea Time Investigates. Yeah. We are investigating. Sondegger's dog podcast called The Dog That Changed Me. And this came up, as it always freaking does, on Friday after we record, we start talking about something that I can't stop thinking about all week. And I don't know who brought this up.

We're like, do you guys know about Catherine Shortenegger's dog podcast or whatever? I think unfortunately it was me. And I apologize to everyone for what's about to happen because of that. Chris Pratt posted about it on his Instagram. He was like, my babe has a great new podcast. And so then I obviously clicked on hers. And it's a sponsored podcast. Indeed.

Sponsored by Pettigree. Uh-huh. Wow. And yeah. It's shining a light. Liz did another like putting way too much work into this week. How many episodes did you listen to you of this podcast? I listened to three and a half.

Three and a half whole episodes. There's like six to us. Honestly, God bless you. All right. Give us the rundown. Listen up, you guys. This is a nine episode limited series podcast sponsored by Pettigree. And it's shining a light on pet adoption, which is,

for a good cause. I totally agree. Yeah, let's make sure we all, we're very pro-dog. We have a dog-shend. We have a dog-shed. We have to make fun of this podcast, but we need to make sure that, you know, we're pro-rescuing dogs. Indeed. Okay. The little hook for every podcast episode is it's fun stories with wonderful people about their adorable rescue pups. So like, okay. Wow. I'm not joking when I say that like I could have,

any one of us, really, who's ever seen a dog, could have interviewed the same group of people and had the same effing conversations about their own dogs. It is exactly as advertised. Catherine Schwarzenegger, little sweet as a button, gets on a mic, and just asks,

what I listened to was Mandy Moore, Julianne Huff, and Haley Duff. Wow, what a trifecta. It's as if, like, she's just like, so what's your dog story? And they're like,

well, I adopted it. And it's like, so, like, she's so cute, right? And they're like, oh my God, yeah. And then that's basically it for 28 minutes. Oh my God. I don't really have much else to say.

And I listened to like a total of 65 minutes of this dog podcast content. Wait. And there are no visuals that go along with this. No. I'm sure she took an Instagram later to like, you know, advertise it. But the dogs aren't there. They're just talking about like the dogs fleas and like, you know, shot treatments. And then it's basically the entire thing.

And I am guilty of this too. I really am. You know, Haley Duff, for example, will be like, I love her. She's such a cutie. She has such a good personality. Like, it was so good for me. And the whole time Catherine Schwarzenegger's just going, a hundred percent. Yeah, a hundred percent.

Oh, my God. And I just feel like there's a more engaged way to talk about these things. Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. So we're investigating it because we're like, Catherine Schwarzenegger, why? Okay. Great question. Because if you look at Catherine Schwarzenegger's history, like she came out with a book.

She has a college degree. Her mom is freaking Maria Shriver. You have so much to talk about. That doesn't involve dogs. That's true. I would be much more curious to hear about her life. I think this is the most boring facet of this woman's entire personality. She's built somewhat of a brand about body acceptance and positivity.

Why not do that? I would listen to a podcast about her family in general. Like, obviously, it's not a lot of personal info. She probably doesn't want to talk about. But invite on our sisters, invite on her brother. Invite Anna Kennedy, yeah. Yeah, hell yeah. Yeah.

Also, the pull, obviously, all these people she knew personally. Right. And you know what's also funny is she starts every podcast, and I think this is just a nervous tick so much I tell her to not. She starts off literally the first opening sentences, okay, and we were just talking about your pet dog, like Rufus, blah, blah. She always goes, we were just talking about this. And then she introses for 17 minutes talking about what they were talking about,

off mic about what they were supposed to be talking on mike it's just truly bizarre i don't know 100% need some rework i don't know also real quick i wanted again we're very pro dogs on this podcast and i can't wait to listen to this and be like we're doing a lot of really annoying tics that we just went after katherine schwartzinger for doing but it's fine it's fine celebrity dogs that i would listen to a podcast about go ahead there are a couple first of all amanda safree's dog fin is an australian shepherd yeah if you know you know he's like the cutest celebrity dog I would listen to an hour-long podcast about Finn and his fleas and his shots. John Mullaney's French Bulldog Petunia.

I would listen to John Mullaney talking about his dog for an hour. Agreed. Chris Evans. Yes, yes, thank you. I was looking forward. There feels like there's a decent chance that Chris Evans ends up on some iteration of a dog podcast sometime soon if he hasn't already. His dog is a rescue named Dodger. All he does is talk about this dog.

I would listen to him to talk about this dog for the rest of my life. And finally, Lena Dunham. Oh, shit. Wow. I had to look up whether she had any pets still alive. Dark. Because there was a run. If you look up, Lena Donum pets, there are a thousand different sort of just articles about

how she had a bunch of pets die or she had to, like, give them away in a row. You know, it's a tough run. It's tough for any pet owner. But she still has a ton of pets. Among them are quite possibly the oldest dog of everything in my entire life. Its name is Ingrid. And I was looking at pictures today on her Instagram. and literally could not believe how ugly it was.

It's like a rat mixed with a pug. I have never seen you laugh so hard at this job and we have worked together for over a year. It is a nightmare fuel. You were laughing at the sight of the dog. There was nothing funny about it. I can't even process how ugly it is. It's hideous. Can I add one more dog that has obviously seen some shit just like Linda Donum's dogs have

seen? Orlando Bloom's dog, Mighty, the cute little fuzzy like brown dog. He's been with him since Miranda Kerr. And now, like, him and Katie Perry kind of, like, switch off taking care of the dog. And, like, that's another dog where you just know they've seen something. That dog has been through, yeah. Yes. Wow.

Yeah, I would listen to a podcast about them. I just totally, when you said, like, Lena Dunham and her dog history, I was like, oh, my God. You know, who else has a bad dog history? Chris Pratt. Why? Does he? Because he and Anna Ferris, like, adopted this dog or something. You're right.

And they were fined $5,000 after their. emaciated rescue dog was found homeless. What? Yes. And this was five years after Chris Pratt tried to give their cat away on Twitter. Wait. I've seen all the blood mess in Amelia's base. Pulse.

Wow, you're right. Kai is in the corner absolutely losing it. Oh, my God. This dog discourse is exhausting. This is turned into something different and we're going to move on. Tea time. Pro dogs. Pro dogs.

Okay. All right, this is another important category from other reasons. This is Tea Time T-Tries really, really hard to relate to other Ringer content. Today on the website, it is High School Movie Day. So check it out on the ringer.com. We're going to give some reactions, our thoughts on high school movies, like what they missed, what they did right, and high school archetypes. Who wants to start off?

And real quick, this is tied to the release of Booksmart this weekend, which is why we're doing it. So we did a full ranking of basically people's favorite, the 25 best high school. school movies. Yes. Bar none. Right. Obviously, anytime the ringer ranks anything,

it's very controversial. I personally did not have any input in this ranking. Did you? Did anyone on this podcast? No. No. Okay, great. So we can tear it apart.

Okay. So basically, number one was clueless. There were 25 of them. Number 25 was high school musical. Everything else is sort of slotted in between those two. Why not? And did you two blurbs. I did the high school musical blurb and I did the two blurbs.

I did the two of the boys I've loved before. Great. Those are great movies. Thank you. They are very good movies. Exceptional. They deserve to be higher up, I would say, on the list. That's my first quibble.

The cultural, I know I sound like a crazy person, but the cultural impact of high school musical. It's huge. It's huge. First of all, you have to remember, it was a Disney Channel original movie. Yeah, I think you. When we were in school and high school musical came out, it was like, it was huge. Huge.

And I was in choir, I wrote this in my blurb, I was in choir, and I had to perform, we're all in this together, like, three separate times. Oh, my God. I'm in a rendition right now. I will pay. I could, like, still do the choreography. She's dancing for those who don't have the privilege. I did, like, a little seated rendition.

It is, like, stuck in my brain until the end of time. It was, like, the classic, like, high school pep rally song for so long. And I did go to, like, a really big, like, Indiana high school that was, like, red and white. Like, we were, like, a little bit similar to, obviously not, like, dancing in the corridors, but kind of similar to, like, the high school musical high school. Yeah. And it cannot be understated that Zach Ephron was catapulted to A-List fame. God. So if you all like his abs now, you can thank high school musical for that.

And he's never better than when he is in musicals. He started there and he should always, he should have stayed there. He really should. High school musical hairspray. He's great. Oh my God, I forgot that. In general. Also, I think to talk about the other movie we discussed, is to all the boys love before.

I feel like it's really low. It's 21 out of 25. It's, yeah. Feels like the people aren't actually grasping like what this did for young people like currently. Right. I think it, like, you could argue that recency bias is like why we love it so much. Sure. But I think it also had that work against it, and they were like, oh, it's too recent.

We have to put it lower down. Right. For those who haven't looked at this ranking yet, the top three are clueless as number one, super bad as number two, and Mean Girls is number three. Which is not bad. No. For sure, should be in the top three. I actually love Super Bad.

I think it's such a funny movie. Every movie on this list is pretty good. I have an extreme bias against She's All That. I think it's a garbage movie. It's number 23. I hate it a lot. Why? It's just bad.

There are all these problematic parts which is like, fine. Okay, there are a lot of like older movies on this list that are problematic. It's just not good. Freddie Brins Jr. doesn't do it for me. Rachel Lee Cook, there's a reason in this. This is her only big movie. Oh, damn. Wow.

Okay, Josie and the Pussycats? Excuse me. You mean, listen. It's just bad. It's a bad movie. I have two other questions in regards to this list. One, justice for boarding schools. The only thing that's really revolve around boarding schools is Rushmore.

And I think that is such a fun. Granted, I didn't go, so that's probably why I think it's like idyllic fun place. But it's basically like teens running around, like chickens at their heads cut off. With no supervision as it appears in movies. So I feel like we should have included more on that. Yeah, what was, she's the man, right? Was the one that loved to talk about? I freaking love that movie.

I think it's so funny. Yeah. It's just, I love when they do those like Shakespeare, based on Shakespeare play movies. Yeah. There's one that not a lot of people have heard about, but it's called Get Over it. It's like, I think, a 2001 film with Kirsten Dunst, Ben Foster, Cisco. Wow. I'm sold.

Cisco! Yes. And there's a musical number. Oh, my God. It's based on a mid-summer-night's dream. And it's just, it's so funny. Nice. Also, speaking of Shakespeare, 10 things I hate about you should have been further up.

Yes. If number 10, that should have been top five. Yes. 100%. Also, talking about boarding schools, does Harry Potter count as a high school school school? Oh, my gosh. I was just thinking that. I mean, not musical movie.

A high school movie? Yeah. Yeah. I would say so. I think it definitely does. And it has what we're going to talk about next is like all the archetypes in this movie. It has all of those things. It has like the pretty nerdy booksmart girl.

It has the like confident, cocky, but really mean. Probably just too complicated to fit into this list. I would say like the themes are the same. Yeah. We also did a post on archetypes of like high school movie casts. So Amelia and I both contributed to this. It was like build your perfect high school movie cast based on like character archetypes from different movies.

So like for example, like the bad boy. from all of these movies could be like Key Fudger and Ten Things I Hate About You Kyle, Timothy Talomey and Lady Bird Like Nick Cage and Valley Girl, Ryan Philippine, Cruel in Tension, Danny Zucco and Greece So you can take any of like your favorite archetypes from these movies

And like build a cast. What were like your top picks? I freaking love Rachel McAdams in Mean Girls. You can't beat it. It's so good. There's a reason she's the Mean Girl. Yeah. And she was 25 when this movie came out.

And she just embodies that bitchy, mean girl. And it's just, give her the Oscar already, honestly. I picked, just, like, tried to pick, like, some random ones. Have you guys ever seen The Duff with May Whitman? Yes. I've heard of it, though. And then I saw the movie. And I thought they both were really good.

Oh. So I had Bianca Piper from The Duff as, like, my, like, funny, smart, like, quote-unquote, unpopular girl. I had Krista, who's Haley Lou Richardson in The Edge of 17 as, like, the funny best friend. And Haley Seinfeld great in The Edge of 17. She's a great actress. She's a great actress. In general. And then Lloyd Dobler and Say Anything is like my ultimate like nice, goofy nice guy. Yeah.

I love Say Anything. That also should have been higher up on the list. Was anything too high? Like I think Lady Bird was like a bit high. I would agree. Lady Bird top 10, not top five. Agreed. Yeah.

Sure. Just give it a few more years, you know? Yeah. Anyway, check that out on the ringer.com. Please. Next category is not worth the tea. Oh boy. Another weird one. Amelia, please start. Buckle up. Okay, so let's just get it over with. Justin Bieber of, you know, fame and weeping with the Bible. He...

The two things he's known for. What the hell kind of intro was that for him? It's been a tough couple months for him. Pause, fame, pause and weeping. Okay, keep going. Sure. So he apparently is making a deodorant. Oh, boy. But are we really going to trust a guy who walks around in public with hair that looks like it has not? not seeing soap in weeks. I agree. You don't think, you don't like hear Justin Bieber and think like hygiene. Right. Oh my God.

Behavior Bieber is also coming out with that makeup line. So the Bieber is trying to like get into our... Everyone's trying to get into that. I know. Actually, side note. So I saw that Kylie's skin launched.

It's all sold out. Even the freaking walnut scrub. You guys, listen to her podcast. It's not good for you. It's because Liz got it to wash her legs with. Next up. Next step is Rosam Barr, a cursed individual, and someone I wish she could never talk about again,

was caught by TMZ at LAX, and they are talking about the adjustments she's made to her Twitter presence, which is notoriously gotten her in a shit ton of trouble because she is a bad human being. It's like anti-Semitic, racist, homophobic, you name it. Rosam Barr is it. So they're asking what she's done to change her online presence,

and she says, instead of posting on her verified Roseanne Barr account, She just uses anonymous troll accounts that she sets up herself to really air what she truly thinks, which is so not worth the tea, but more just like so effed up because she obviously has not had a change of heart. Like she got her show canceled because she was a horrible human being. And like has been kind of disband from the Hollywood community because of her thought. So instead of taking a look inward, she's just as posting like with her egg pro pop picture, being like spewing horrible shit. As someone who doesn't like to tweet from your own account, would you ever do that?

Like, tweet your real opinions from like an anonymous account? Listen, but my real opinions are that like, justice for country strong. What if Paul Tre's the greatest actress of our time? Breaking the Milakunis Ashton Coocher romance. Exactly. You're right. So you can just do it from your own. Yeah.

And she, for the record, blamed those tweets with all these horrible opinions on Ambien. Okay. And now we know this is. People blaming Ambien for everything. Tiger Woods, now Roseanne Barge. Yes. All right, next one. Constance Wu, having just a real run here.

Oh, my God. First she had the whole controversy where fresh off the boat got picked up for another season. She, like, freaked out online. Also, real quick, Gemma Chan. You know, there was the whole thing between them where Gemma Chan faved a tweet about how Constant Woo is a diva. Yeah. Gemma Chan's show just got canceled.

And she had, like, the super, like, elegant and like, oh, I'm going to miss everyone who worked on it. Like, I'm so sad that I can't do this anymore. Extremely on the nose. But, like, very elegant shade. I kind of love that. I would expect from Gemma. So anyway, on the next news for Constance Wu is she's in trouble for renting a Manhattan penthouse while she was filming hustlers, but letting her pet bunny roam around the place and poop literally everywhere.

Her pet bunny, Lita Rose. Apparently, like, just absolutely trashed. She hired a housekeeper to clean up after her bunny. The housekeeper apparently, reportedly, raised the alarm and called the people who owned the apartment because it was literally like unfixable. Like she was like, this rabbit has shit everywhere. Security. Apparently, according to a source in the building, the bunny totally destroyed the place. There was poop and pee everywhere and the actress had done nothing to clean it up.

And the rabbit even sleeps with Constance Wu. And there was poop in the bed. How much, oh my God, that's disgusting. How much damage can a rabbit really do? Or how long do you have to leave it unattended that it? Right. So I... Apparently they did nothing.

She did nothing to clean up after. See, I have a friend who has a couple rabbits. And when I was visiting her, her when she lived in Brooklyn, she had a pen that she would put them, because they have to. Yeah, that's what they said is that she needs to be in a pen. Right. But you can put it, if this is a freaking penhouse, you can like corner off a section. I mean, it can have an entire wing to it. Exactly. Right. Yeah. This is like very the favorite with like Olivia Coleman's rabbits. Like running everywhere. It's like a little freaky. Anyway, there's like, and, you know, there are reports

where it's like, oh, like that's not true. It was in a pen. So, you know, conflicting sources on the rabbit drama. disgusting. But regardless, very tough run for Constance. Yeah, poop a lot. And, like, my friend's bookcase got ruined because her rabbits. Just put her... Thank you for... Jow it down.

Who knew? Amelia provided insider info on rabbits. Also, extremely not worth the tea. Amazing Williams wants to make dolls with skin suits post-game of Thrones. The girl needs a new hobby. She didn't interview where she talked about how she wants to do doll making. She said, I want to make a little doll, but with super strange proportions, like really long arms and a huge head and a little doll face.

What? And then she said, I had an epiphany. I think I was born to make dolls. I want them to have tiny little hands and tiny little fingers and skin suits that you sew them in. And then she keeps going on and she's like talking about the skin suits. And she's like, I want to be this. I want them to be like tiny little people, like real people with skin.

Even the armature wire I bought is red so that it's like veins. So when I do the felting for the body, I want to put a little heart in there. What? So she's like really into, she basically like. Sophie Turner is off, partying with Joe Jonas, getting married, starring an ex-Men. Like, that's like her post-Game of Thrones career. And Aria Stark, poor Mainsy Williams is over here making. Guess what?

They're both on crack making those decisions. She has stolen Sophie Turner's jewel and is hitting it hard. This is my own fault. I put this link into our group chat, and I'm sorry. That was not even what I thought you were going to say. That's pretty disgusting. All right. Last thing, Amelia.

Yes, finally, this is going to be brief. Because it's just not worth the tea. Moby, the techno singer guy, he released an autobiography. And in it, he claims that he dated Natalie Portman, to which she responded with like, no, you were just like this creepy guy hitting on like an 18-year-old. And then he posted on his Instagram being like, oh, I saw that Natalie Portman like conflicts what I assume was like dating and I'm very discouraged by this. And it's just like, you're weird.

And he also was like, oh, let me tell you about the time I dated Lana Del Rey. I know. And really personal info. And guess what Lana Del Rey looked really good against him because she was like, I'm not going to sleep with you. You sleep with everyone. Also, he posted the picture to like prove that they date Natalie Parman of him dated. It was super creepy too.

And it also just looks like he got it like at one of those like cons or something. It looks like he's a fan of her like some celebrity. Some creepy person. And it's just like he's kind of the type of guy who seems to me. like he's been waiting for a moment like this just so he can like revel in his own self-hatred. His book is like not something that word.

He's just like blah. And like Eminem said it best. He was like, you're old bye. So bye. All right. We're wrapping up this week with T-Times most unanswerable question of the week. I'm going first.

And my question is, how long do we need to respectfully wait for the general public to catch up until revealing spoilers about something? So this can be said really at any. point in the last couple years when like Twitter and reactions have become so big. Game of Thrones recently. Everyone was like up in arms about when you can tweet about what happened.

Marvel. We ran into that issue. Like how many days can go by where you have to assume the public's caught up? So Chrissy Teigen this week got in trouble by the internet because the voice finale was earlier this week. And spoiler alert, John Legend and his singer Malin Jarman won the competition. The voice official account on Twitter tweeted that. she won and John Ledge won. Then it's okay. So then Chrissy Teigen tweeted and was like,

congratulations. And people were like, oh my God, how dare you, blah, blah, blah. The West Coast, I guess, was in the middle of watching it or something. And she then apologized, I mean, apologize, quote, she said, I'm truly sorry for spoiling the voice tonight. I thought that since the official account tweeted it, it would be okay. But now I realize it wasn't. And I will make sure that when my husband wins something with someone, I will wait for each state in every country before being excited. How long do you guys think we have to wait until you tweet something like that? It's actually while Ira Madison, who does the Keep It podcast, just tweeted last week. And somebody tweeted to him and was like, there was a Riverdale spoiler in today's podcast episode. And there was no

warning before it. And you think it's okay to give a spoiler warning for Game of Thrones, but you won't give a spoiler warning for Riverdale. And he quote tweeted it and was like, this Riverdale episode happened five months ago. Oh my God. So yeah, I honestly like, when I, I had to wait to watch Game of Thrones episodes four and five until the next day. Deleted my Twitter app. Didn't go on Instagram. Just don't go on social media.

You just have to know with certain things. Right. And like the voice, that's so stupid. If the voice Twitter account tweets it. Right. And also like it's the voice. Exactly. But like you have to know to a certain extent.

Like just stay off social media. Well, we do this with The Bachelor too. I just, on the finale, I just do not open up anything until it's over. Because guess what? That's just like what you have to do in 2019. Right. And I think there are certain things where it's like, okay, if it's an episode of TV that is like the night of or whatever, it's like, I think

it's okay because it's a live TV, you know? So you think like Game of Thrones, like you can tweet things like, yeah, I do, yeah. That's part of it. Everyone's like interacting with it like as it happens. People have really strong opinions about this. This is what I'm stupid. I think for movies, though, there's a bit of a grayer line because, you know, I mean, it takes effort to go out to see a movie.

Right. And then everyone goes like the opening night. Right, exactly. I would say like I don't think I tweeted any like endgame spoiler until the following week. The week, yeah. I think makes sense for movies. For Game of Thrones, it's like if you're not watching it live, you're fat. If you're not watching it, Ben, bitch, sorry.

Don't go on Twitter. Agreed. My unanswerable question of the week, I put this in here and Liz thought Amelia put it in here, which makes sense. My question is, how deep does Ben Affleck's allegiance to Dunkin' Donuts go? Duncan Donuts just dropped nail polish in eight shades for, quote, diehard munchkin fans. Amelia? What are what Dunkin' Donut fans are called? Oh my God, are they?

Amelia, you would know. Aren't you a Dunkin' Donuts? Totally. I still have like 20 bucks on the card, so maybe I'll buy some Duncan. Yeah, nail polish. So there are eight different shades. There's like cocoa mocha, caramel craze, pistachio almond fudge, butter bacon. But I want to know is like, you know, like men wearing nail polish is in.

Sure. Hair styles did it. Ben Affleck could do it. Okay. Also, side note, sorry, but what is this brink? branding packaging. This is the most generic Walgreens-looking shit I've ever seen in my life.

They didn't put that much effort into it. Oh, you really didn't. But, yeah, so like Ben Affleck, how much do you care? Show us how much you care. Step out with that. Oh, manicure. And you know what he could do.

This is a heads up for his publicist. Have him do it with his children. I know. That'd be a great look. And have them, like, paint it and then like share it to Instagram. Yeah. One more thing about this nail polish

as I'm looking at. The America runs on Duncan is like a very common expression. Everybody knows it. But their branding on this nail polish is a picture of the United States, a little man running, and then below it says Duncan. It's like Duncan Donovan. You could have a lot of fun with this too.

You could have put more effort in it. The package could have been like a coffee cup or a donut. I agree. I just want to put the challenge out to Ben Affleck. Show us how much you care. Do it. Of your daughters. All right.

And this off. Okay. So last week we did a little James Charles, Tati Westbrook, et cetera, investigation. And of course, as it always happens, Friday, you know, or it was Saturday, I don't know, one of the days, he dropped another 40-minute-long video as a response to Tati and pretty much cleared everything up. And honestly, I watched the video. So did I. Liz watched it. Kate did not watch it. Of course she did. Did I watch the second? No, no, I didn't. I read a BuzzFeed post about it, though, that like laid out all the receipts. Yeah. And he actually,

I don't know, he did a good job. He did. I was cleared everything. torn now. I know. And I'm just like, can we just end influencers? Amelia, I think we have a long way to go with influencers,

especially since Instagram is still just so prevalent. I think we're not going to be done with influencers until 20, 23, and you can come find me in a couple years. Wow.

So, which thing do you think will come first? The earth will explode into the sun based on climate change or influencers will no longer be a thing. I think the sun. I truly think,

I think so. I think the devastation of the earth will come before. Or even I would say like the reckoning from like Jesus Christ, like, you know, like hell and earth from the Bible will come before. The Antichrist will land. James Charles will outlive the earth. Seriously. Maybe James Charles is the antichrist. I don't know. I'm just joking. I'm just joking. You always say the most agree to shit in the last 45 seconds of this. Just kidding. I actually, he came off looking good. He did. He actually came off looking so much better. And Tati came off looking. like the 30 whatever I know 37 woman she is who's bitter This feud will still be happening when like the four horsemen like bring the apocalypse Yeah totally

It'll be them and the cockroaches And then yeah that's it Look forward to that You have to end on a high note Yeah we have the last couple weeks We're just super dark Once again Thank you guys so much for listening

Thank you producer Kyia I'm Miss Kelly I'm Beirolo And I'm Amelia Wanner I'm Emilio Weta
