Starting point is 00:03:13 Yeah. I don't want it, but the back is the cooler part. Yeah, look at that. It's a knife and it says, re-jacked. We got to make sure we can see that. Yep, you can see it. Yeah. You can see it.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Holy moly. So what's making you so emotional right now, Tara? What's going on? I really like how realistic it was. where I think what really like got to me is when she says like it ends with us and she has her kid. Because it reminded me of my mom that we left and I was like really young. My mom was like, we're not, we can't be doing this right now. And I think that's why I get like so mad like you guys know me.
Starting point is 00:04:14 but like if if I see a guy or like anyone hurting anyone I'm like I'm gonna kill him but I was too young so I couldn't like do anything when you're like a baby baby but we got out of there and I love that she's like you know it ends with her and her kid you know because it reminded me of you know me and and my mom and I like that she when she leaves a napkin and I'm like oh did she great things. And it's like, no. And when she walks away, she's like, yeah, we've had enough of that. And it's a way of, like, her teaching her mom that, like, we can leave that behind. And I think it's just, it's really realistic. But I think that a lot of times, that's not the story. People just, like, stay in it. And I hate that. I hate it for them. Like, I would be Jenny Slate's character.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Like, if you go back to him, I'll never speak to you again. Um, So I think that's what got me so emotional. I was like, oh, damn, I really feel that. And I like that her character made that choice because, like, you have to do it. Otherwise, that kid is going to be in that cycle. And I would never put myself there because my mom, like, we got out of there, right? But it wasn't without me seeing maybe a very small thing. I was, like, really young.
Starting point is 00:05:41 mostly just like yelling and and other stuff but like yeah you you got to get out of it so yeah this movie hit like close to home for me and I didn't expect it and I think that's why I got so emotional because I was just like yay so anyway that's where I'm at sorry guys please don't be sorry yeah I'm fine I'm just like well a little bit of a mess I'm just glad that like that that movies like this this to show people like it it can you can and you can end it you can end it you don't have to stay even if you have a kid and you're like but my kid needs a dad I hear that all the time and people always make excuses like well I didn't have a dad I'm like I didn't have a dad either and I grew just fine like I it doesn't that stuff when people make those kind of arguments I hate them
Starting point is 00:06:40 because I'm like you don't need it and I guarantee you her and Emmy and her are going to be just fine. And sure, she might have a dad with Hurrah, but like, you get what I mean? She doesn't need it. It ends with the fact that she's like, it ends with us. I, I love it. I really liked it. I don't know that about your mom.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know that most of, a lot of times when you do get emotional, it's something to do with that reminds you of your mom. Yeah. Like most of the time. Totally.
Starting point is 00:07:19 I didn't know about that additional added layer. Yeah. We just joke about our domestically violent past. I know, I know. We joke about it, but then this movie really, like, brought it around to bring it to be emotional for me. Because normally I wouldn't get emotional over it. Yeah. I appreciate you sharing your heart.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Yep, we did it. I'm surprised by how, like, I didn't expect it to be so emotional, like the movie. Me neither. I thought we were gonna watch some like cheesy ass And some people I think do think it as cheesy But I'm not gonna lie, that last like, especially the last like 25 minutes of this movie Yeah 30 minutes. The part that was getting me emotional
Starting point is 00:08:11 Yeah Is it was actually the mom, her mom Yeah When she asked him Why didn't you ever leave And she's said it would have been harder. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:30 And it was that moment that some of you guys who may have been while, I sometimes cry. What did I think about my parents too? And it's very specific things. And yeah, that was, because it's such an opposite thing. Yeah. Your mom is more of that, of the, uh, of the, uh, the example that Blake lively's character is setting in this film. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:00 And my mom's not a one-to-one, but it was more akin to that. And there's like things I actively intentionally choose not to divulge due to people still being alive. So I choose not to say some stuff and being a public figure and then having other family that's public figure. And I don't want to just put stuff out there. I think some people have been able to thought. spread some things together. So, yeah, that, there's, I mean, look, there's a reason why when I, when I saw like, oh, she didn't write anything about him, he's probably a violent guy.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Oh, this is probably a story about a cycle. There's a reason why we can pick up on something like that, like really quick, even though as a viewer, I was a little stupid from time to time being like, I don't know, it looks like an accident to me. Totally. I feel like I got the whole movie down like really quick in the beginning as it went. I was like, oh, wait a minute. Maybe I'm wrong.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Which is fucking life. That's how it goes, right? And so I do appreciate the movie did that. But yeah, it was that moment, you know. And like, like, and the whole thing with the brother, my grandfather was a very terrifying human being. Needless to say. and like when I would talk with my aunts and uncles or my aunts on my dad's side, dad's sisters, the guy's been dead for a long time, but whenever they talk about him, they cry,
Starting point is 00:10:37 not out of missing him out of the terror that he felt like. Like he was a real monster. Damn. Yeah, yeah, he was horrible. And I'm named Greg. And my uncle Gregory, I never met, because he died at 12. and my grandfather liked to play with guns and he accidentally shot and killed my dad's younger brother Gregory who when he was 12 years old his own child yeah and he still had them like clean gun
Starting point is 00:11:08 clean bullets afterwards and stuff he was a he was a really fucked up guy so there's generations of things that occur and then things that I in turn as I've gotten like in you know my from my 18 on I got to roll my myself in therapy and everything and do some deep psychological deep diving in order to make sure I can break cycles and stuff. It's like, sure you something, if anyone knows my wife, she wouldn't put up with a guy who's remotely close to an individual like that, I'll tell you, you know. So, yeah, like there's a lot of changes that, so, like, when it comes to, like, stories
Starting point is 00:11:45 about breaking cycles, I really do connect with them. So, yeah, like that, these endpoints, like, do hit home. in a lot more ways. There's also a lot more nuance, I think, than that. You know, like the fact that I like that it wasn't just painted as black and white that this Justin Baldoni guy, the character, isn't solely a monster. You know what I mean? Because that's usually the reality is sometimes they are. Sometimes they're fucking just atrocious.
Starting point is 00:12:20 And please, disassociate baby, never. should be in life. Absolutely. Other times, you can see that there's a potential of a work in progress here that, that, you know, have a belief that someone can change. Now, sometimes we hold out a belief that they'll change, but then we end up reaffirming and then, what's the fucking word? Well, like, then we end up, like, just, just supporting them.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Yeah, enabling. Yeah. Then you end up enabling the behavior by hoping they'll change and believing they'll change. Right. A lot of times for someone to change, you got to go away. You have to leave in order for the person to change. And I like that it ended on that note where he was learning the cycle. He was seeing what was best.
Starting point is 00:13:07 And it puts up a hopeful journey that perhaps he can change, even though he's got these violent tendencies that can come out. Right. And these abusive, like, assault tended. Like when they were going there, it was like, holy shit. Yeah, that was tough. and those are even like harder in a lot of cases when it's marital to prove like, oh, but we're married.
Starting point is 00:13:30 No. No. So yeah, I like that they had that note, but it also has that empowerment note to many. What sucks the most is that this movie, I feel like while I think it could be a rather effective film is completely overshadowed by everything else that has nothing to do with the story. You know, like that's the crazy, crazy. part about this whole film, you know. Especially because it includes sexual, like, assault or something she's saying in the, in the, in the, in her filing it.
Starting point is 00:14:02 And you're like, that's like sexual harassment. I'm sorry. Okay. Harassment and emotional distress. So, um, and so I find it like, I find it like crazy. Yeah. That, that does overshadow a little bit of the whole thing where, especially because it started out with the, with the, with, the previous, when they're going out with the reviews, it was her and the Britney Spears dress and her husband joining her. And they told Justin Baldoni that him and his wife and his family could not go to the premiere. And that he didn't, he wasn't there. Like it's, and that, that you just go,
Starting point is 00:14:37 oh, God, it's like it totally overshadowed by the news. But this was a great, I like this film. I like the way that it was directed. I like the shots. There's some oneers in this. I like some the transitions that were really good. And unfortunately, I don't know Justin Baldone's going to be back on the scene for a minute because of no he did a pretty good job directing for a film he's also starring that's what i mean yeah like pretty great right his first few lines i was going i don't know about this like he first started speaking but as the movie started going even in that same scene i started to buy it to it i agree you know because it has this it's a very it's a weird kind of film right where it starts off with this sexual tension and lust that evolves into a story about domestic violence and generational
Starting point is 00:15:29 trauma and the cycles of domestic violence and how we have to grow and break from them and make choices. And, you know, and I have heard that like this movie was really divisive with people. And I feel like on a stream, I'm like watching on Netflix, I'm like, this pretty good Netflix movie. Yeah. Maybe as a movie theater experience. I might have a different opinion, but it's an entertaining film that also had a good amount of nuance to it and heart. And I feel like maybe because we watched it with this kind of lens on, that we were able to derive more from it.
Starting point is 00:16:05 And some stuff might feel a little perhaps on the nose or a little sap. I don't know what the fuck people say. That's a criticism towards this movie. Right. I just know that some, I'm guessing. That they're like all kind of corny or two on the nose or something. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Yeah, yeah. I like that it goes into the genre, though, of romance drama and then decides to unpack some stuff, you know? So I liked it. I enjoyed it. I did enjoy it. And I want to get that one guy's name. It is called who that. Because in the promotions, I would see Blake lively and the other guy that you call him who, bra. Oh, right. Brandon Sclanar. Like I see Brandon Sclanar in the promotions. And I thought I was walking to a movie where they're the lovers. Right. Me too. Because of the way the promotions were. But because they let Justin Baldoni, they hit him.
Starting point is 00:17:07 They did. Which is really sad considering he is the director and co-lead of this film. Yeah. You know? Yep. Everything that happened between them. overshadowed this entire film and it could have been a really great, I think, career, like, pushed forward for him. And I don't know what's true or not, obviously, I guess we'll find out later,
Starting point is 00:17:28 but that sucks. Yeah. You know, I think what a movie's like in the book talk world, they're really easy to hate a lot of the time, just be like by association, just because of the fact of where it comes from. I think sometimes an unfair hatred can come towards it. Or we just happen to like a movie quite a bit that a lot of people genuinely dislike for a lot of the reasons they dislike it can very much well be that. I enjoyed it though. I enjoyed it. I thought the acting was pretty good. I thought everyone had chemistry. Yeah, that's the thing. It's like it. I like the topic of the script that ends with us. I like the script. But I think mainly what I really liked is the acting. I was in. I was sold the second we see Blake lively and Justin Baldoni on screen and they're like,
Starting point is 00:18:10 they have that banter. And I'm like, oh yeah, I'm sold on this. Of course, anytime Jenny Slate comes in and if she gets chemistry with someone, sold. Like all the casting, really great. I do think this IMDB description ruins a lot of the film. When a woman's first love suddenly reenters her life, her relationship with a charming but abusive neurosurgeon surgeon is upended and she realizes she must learn to rely on her own strength to make an impossible choice for her future. They should take out the butt of the list.
Starting point is 00:18:39 That's literally like the whole last 30 minutes is what they describe right there. No, they should take that out because the film does a really good job of putting you in her POV. We're like, it's an accident. She should have like, like, we were both yelling like, no, no, give him space. Give him space. He's like, get away from me. He's on the stairs and maybe she got carried away and fell down herself. Like, it makes you rethink all of that.
Starting point is 00:19:03 So I think, I don't think that's the best move. But maybe because people read the book, they already know, I don't know. But that's why I like the effectiveness of it, because that's how it happens in real life conversation. all the time and domestic violence in particular can oftentimes be an incredibly difficult thing to prove. You know, assault can be a very difficult thing to prove. And this is like a decent example of it, you know? Like, I think part of the cornyness comes from the fact that he's like,
Starting point is 00:19:36 he's like out of a romance novel. So for that, I kind of like it kind of like because he's like, this fucking rich. Cut neurosurgeoned Hunk of a guy. And he knows he's a win because he's like, you know, how bad, how clean up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:52 And Brandon Skullin R2 is also like Mr. Hunky guy. Like the most realistic. Owns the number one freaking restaurant boss. So he's loaded now too probably. Yeah. So it has it has that like romance book thing going. But then it
Starting point is 00:20:06 I think it writes a good line of being that with some realist, realism nuance. So like that's why I like that's playing in the genre of something we're familiar with and then pulling back the layers to have a little bit more of a hopeful note of conquering these cycles. Anyway, those are our thoughts. We really enjoyed it and it hit some trigger points for terror and I.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Yeah. But what do you guys think? And let's read some questions from our royals. Let's do it. Free Jack Nation, do you ever feel like life is just constantly moving? Like, you're always on the go, always in a rush. And eating healthy is the thing that keeps getting pushed aside. That's been me for a few years now.
Starting point is 00:20:48 And it can be a real struggle to maintain eating healthy. And that's honestly why we've become so dependent on what's this stuff at Huell. What a natural segue that is. But also, we got three fridges around here, and we have these fridges stocked with the ready to drink. A lot of times going to events from here, I bring them with me. You'll often see Koi and I drinking them on camera for a reason. Because it is a complete meal and a bottle. 35 grams of protein, 27 essential vitamins and minerals, slow release carbs, no artificial sweeteners,
Starting point is 00:21:15 gluten-free, and it actually helps keep us full. I would drink Hewell while on my cut where I lost a crap ton of weight last year. Coy currently on a cut for the past few months, and he's drinking these a few times a week. Plus, it's under $5, which makes it way easier to stay consistent. And then when I want something a little bit more built, I'll use the Black Edition powder. We got so much in that other room right over there. You can light it with frozen fruit, ice, sometimes I mix it with my hydration drinks. Same complete nutrition, just more customizable.
Starting point is 00:21:41 And now even though I'm no longer to cut, I've been working on maintenance, it helps so much more to have something like this to maintain. So if you're like me, where the days feel nonstop, this makes staying on track simple and delicious.

Starting point is 00:22:14 Awesome Joe movie reviews. I never read the book, but I enjoyed what the story was taking itself towards. I enjoyed her support of comfort. She gives her her character. I'm sad that she had to break up this family in order to discontinue, this vicious cycle of domestic abuse within a marriage. She did what she had to do in order to bring herself and her daughter into a writer future. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:22:35 Do you find she has to make the right decision? or could there have been a different alternative to this difficult dilemma? I, I mean, we agreed. Right decision. I think the only other decision would be him not be in the life. Or the more,
Starting point is 00:22:53 if we're gonna go for realism, she would have got him back with it. Not saying every woman does or something like that. But a lot of the time, that's it. Like, he's the font of my baby, who knows? And like, that's often what happens in real life. That's why I think you were going there. Yes.
Starting point is 00:23:08 And I was more like, no, movie. It's a movie. So she has to grow. But I think because a lot of women do go back. They go back. Yeah. They go back. She did the absolute right thing.
Starting point is 00:23:19 I wouldn't want it to see it any other way. I wouldn't, I wouldn't have been like crying at the end if that hadn't been the move, you know? Yeah, absolutely. We agree. We agree. Terry the next. Jane Rhodes, there is so much drama that was behind the scenes for this movie. I'm good at separating the art from the artist,
Starting point is 00:23:36 but I can definitely say that. that the art is mediocre at best. I just find the movie lazily boring. Wow, really? I think what makes a movie watchable is I think the actors do try with what they were giving, but I'm curious if y'all agree on what's favorite romantic dramas.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Wow, Jaden, I really didn't. I wasn't bored. I was really... I'm bored at all. I thought the chemistry was flying off the screen between those two. I think the casting is absolutely what made it and the actors in choosing. And I don't think like necessarily the lines that they were given
Starting point is 00:24:05 was really all that. bad honestly. And normally I can like sort of sniff out or I'm like that writing was bad but like there was some good callbacks with the sweater with the dad like there was some good stuff in here. So I definitely don't agree with that it was lazily boring. I think that it was very watchable and I liked it. Yeah. I think a lot of movies probably I think on a movie you a lot of people might expect it to go a little more ramped up with how like crazier might get. But I think the whole point of the film, or at least the story, is to show it in the ways out that it can be sneaky and subtle that you don't, you can look at things as accidents when they're not.
Starting point is 00:24:48 You can't, you know, like, take, take a little bit more of those approaches. Because I really thought it was an accident. Me too. When he fucking hit her in the face that looks like, I sound stupid in retrospect. Like to get her away from the oven. Yeah. Because the way they shot it didn't look that way. You can see how you can justify it that.
Starting point is 00:25:06 And then I was like, oh, it's because she's crying because she feels it's reminding her of a certain of her past because she just got hit. But it's a it's a misinterpretation of the moment. So yeah. No, I thought, I thought I like this a lot. Romantic dramas. My favorite romantic drama of all time is a Ryan Gosling movie called Blue Valentine, him and Michelle Williams. Have you seen this film? That is a good one that I think I've seen maybe a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:25:36 That one messes me up. Blue Valentine. Maybe I haven't seen it. It is some of the most phenomenal acting I've ever seen in a film. I need to look up the poster to know if I've seen there. I thought you were going to say the notebook. No, no, no. That's a good, like, rom-com, but.
Starting point is 00:25:52 No, I mean, it's a romantic drama, I would say it's a romantic drama. But I think a romantic, I mean, that one's really a drama. Yeah. Because, like, half of the story, it cuts back and forth between them falling in love and then to their marriage falling apart. like it so it's cutting between it's in a cutting between it's like the last five years which is one of my favorite musicals uh i need to watch blue valentine now i think i may not have seen it it goes for like hardcore realism really yeah it's it's kind of an uncomfortable
Starting point is 00:26:20 watch for a lot of people i've only seen it twice and i was like i think i'm good i don't think i don't think i could give this many years without watching it again yeah it's uh it's it's like puts me in a funk just because of how like real it feels oh shit i mean i would say romantic drama. Mulan Rouge I love a lot. It's a musical, but so it's got romance and drama. It's a good one. There you go. Ultraviolet. A lot of poop-poof hated this movie. I loved it. I saw in theaters. Do you guys have any gripes with it? Do you wish I did anything differently? Yes, I do think it could have been rated R. And they could have had some of these things hit harder. I think they was kind of holding back a little bit if I had to lament to criticism.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Mm-hmm. I thought they rode the line reasonably well. Yeah, they did. Because it did have like kind of a glossy TikTok book talk drama look to it and like the song choices they have. But I liked it though. I enjoyed those elements. So it's not really a gripe, more of a nitpick that I think maybe the criticism of people lament towards it might have been softened if they went a little bit more gritty with an R rating to let shit. hit harder.
Starting point is 00:27:36 I would agree with that because then I think we would have felt a little bit more and there would be probably a little bit more violence, possibly blood, that we could have seen, which would just, I guess, made certain things hit harder. Yeah. I don't like watching. I don't like sexual assault in general. And I really don't like seeing it in movies or shows. I really, I really don't.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Not a time. I'm like, I don't think we need to actually see this. I tend to come. from that point of you. I was glad we cut away from that. Because when he gets too much, I don't want it. Yeah. Yep, right there. Last one. Tara, close us out. Jay Rushden.
Starting point is 00:28:15 Was a movie worth the watch? Should there be a sequel? I thought it was definitely worth the watch. I don't... I mean, oh, oh, well, now that I'm thinking about it, would be kind of fun to see lively with a kid and hoorah, you know, living happily ever after, but where does the drama
Starting point is 00:28:31 come from? We got to write it. We got to write it. I guess, I don't know. There is a second book called It Starts with Us. Wow. Focusing on Lillian Atlas as they never create their rekindled romance and challenges posed by the ex-odspin. He's back. I mean, well, we're never getting this movie.
Starting point is 00:28:56 That's for sure. I know. How would we possibly get this movie? Well, I think that because, here's what I've heard, like in rumors, saying that, you know, because what's her not, Ryan, not, what's her husband's name? Hi, Reynolds. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Ryan Reynolds had played such role in her lines, was kind of messing with the script, but he's a bigger star. They really have each other's backs that I have a feeling that especially if they were to win this lawsuit, that they would take the rights and just make it. Like, I feel like Ryan would make it for her, that there is a lot of behind the scenes chatter that he was heavily involved. almost uncomfortably so in regards to the script. And you could see it was screenwritten by a woman when this thing popped up.
Starting point is 00:29:41 So that must have been hard for her because we are talking about a domestic abuse. But my assumption is what he came in with notes is probably banter. Not probably it should look like this. Well, I mean, I'm not sure if it would be a smart call. Like in the court of public opinion? Yeah. Probably no, no. Everyone seems to not ever I don't I what I see yeah is it from is that they've everyone's like fuck
Starting point is 00:30:10 Blake lively Justin Beldenny's a victim like that's how yeah everything comes across to me is that that seems to be the case again I don't really follow this shit so I don't have an opinion I don't want to put an opinion out there I'd rather try to understand before I have an opinion me too because I don't know and and I I feel like even if like likely legally would come out on top of some I think this would just bring back a cycle of hatred yeah yeah they got to end it it ends with yes I will say though as much as I was aware that there's like shit happening because you just can't escape the headlines I managed to get lost in the story yeah yeah me too oh I absolutely did like the second we were already commenting and they're in the rooftop and you go yeah I'm starting
Starting point is 00:30:56 to think well okay they don't like each other they're in a lawsuit and then you're like then you just, it immediately, because of their chemistry out of the brain, you're in the story, you're pulled in. Yeah. At least I was. Anyway, guys, I give this movie a 100 out of 10. It is a pitch perfect, not a single thing wrong with it film. Dumb.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Leave your thoughts down below and what you thought about it. I guess let's go to Rotten Tomatoes and ended there. What's your guest, Tara, then we call this a day. I'm going to go audience because you were saying the economy didn't like it. I'm going to go audience 63 and critics. Um, B'n. 51.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Let's just go with your score. I feel like audience would be lower. Audit's way higher. Holy shit. Oh, 87. So we weren't wrong. See, I thought with y'all's comments and the questions to Patreon quench, I thought y'all were just, everybody's hating on it.
Starting point is 00:31:50 Yeah. I was close with the critics because the critics is 55%. I said 69. Yeah. Ooh, I got close, but I didn't. I got close audience. Well, that was our experience. What's your experience? We'll see you guys soon, fellow rejects.
