We just have a good rhythm together, you know, he sort of feels me out, I feel him out, and we go for it.
We're at an all-time high
We'll take on the world and win
Doing so much more
Than falling in love
Bond themes to get you through.
Ah, is that what that was?
Maybe I should kick off every episode with a different Bond theme.
I don't think so.
Welcome along to episode 23 of The worst idea of all time uh a podcast in which tim and i
are watching and reviewing sex in the city the film at pace ever heard of it it's a movie you
shouldn't watch because it ain't no good so uh as always or as as we have largely been so far this season we are separated by great
masses of land and water uh i'm recording in new york tim is of course at little empire hq in
grayland auckland new zealand that was the worst uh screening of sex in the city i've had so far um i felt like i i agree
i'm with you on that me also i felt like uh my energy was being reflected back to me by the girls
uh i just felt like we were it was this really we're just all of us everyone involved in the
operation were trapped in a in a an unhealthy and lethargic state and uh okay none of us could do
anything to shake it off there was there was nothing in the way of uh game changes to tell
me some more i want to dig into how you felt about it tell me some more feeling words around the sort of
emotional state you were going through watching it this is uh i i i've got to start with the
coverall of just low just like um just really unhappy and resigned uh resentful at all or did
you not have the energy no i didn't even there was not even the spark of
you know arguably righteous you know the indignity of it i couldn't even muster the
the energy to be upset by i was just like oh just you know just this is my life uh like probably the
most heavy amount of regret i've felt since agreeing to do this season i feel like personally uh digging
up this podcast uh format has served its purpose of keeping us in regular contact um and we now
talk somewhat you know regularly around recording the podcast which is kind of
see it's becoming pavlovian just admit it guy
no fucked up no what the aim was was for us to be friends again but what we did is
uh this is this is this is a very dangerous work environment that we've built for ourselves
instead well i you know it's interesting you bring that up i'm glad you do because um our last
episode i felt like well
you know the movie was not necessarily enjoyable we were both in pretty good spirits and uh a little
peek behind the curtain here i feel like some of that can be attributed to uh at the end of the
episode before that we had scheduled to do some work that i could no longer do and i i uh bailed on it and you were very irate you
became frustrated and upset um and we sort of uh it was like i it was there was tension between us
in a way that is not very familiar to me i don't know if if you can recall any times when there's
been genuine tension between us can you uh no i don't think so like that was probably as close to as
close to it as it's been and that many many years apart from what's been captured on microphone that
we've been doing this now and uh but we sort of we both you know we both uh acknowledged wrongdoing
and and moved on and uh i felt like the last episode of the podcast was the podcasting equivalent of makeup sex.
I see.
I felt like it served a really important purpose
in terms of our interpersonal relationship
where we were happy to be with each other.
It was a reminder of why we were doing it.
And this, not episode,
but certainly screening of Sex and the City
felt to me like,
if not the immediate
moments maybe the hours the morning and the day after the makeup sex where uh and this is not to
do with you but to do with the movie where all of the reasons why there was makeup sex to be had in the first place yeah sort of bubble back up to the surface
and that you think it's akin to we should have broken up rather than get back together i don't
think we should have broken up i don't think i could live with that tim i i genuinely cannot
describe how uh how bad i felt when i realized how angry you were uh i felt like i i felt very heavy and uh
and naughty's too too simple too simpler a word for like i just felt bad like to my core so i
don't think breaking up is the fix but i just think like you know that sort of orgasmic sexy
glow that was both written all over our voices and
faces during the last record has completely drained out of my body and uh this was like
well now that we've gone just the screening man i i'm just trying to find ways to articulate how
it felt and it was just doing a good job it was drudgery it was uh it was like everything that's you know
like in the throes of climax you know i've never felt so close to you but uh this is just like all
bad bad bad falling action bad bad bad uh how are you feeling friend not good at all it took such an
exceptional amount of willpower
to actually kick the movie off this morning.
I went to bed pretty late last night
because I was just doing work and stuff,
and we've had to get up very early
and often in the middle of the night
to accommodate this new little doggie that I've got
to take him to the bathroom and whatnot outside
to make sure that he gets used to
that but as a result a little bit sleep deprived and so i woke up this morning i was just like no
no no yeah fuck and then look at the clock and do the math it's like well i have to start it like at like this minute to be on time for the record so on we went but it was just so savage it was
savage man it's real uh it's like mean it is treating me with meanness now with real contempt where where did it feel the meanest and or like the saggiest at
what point were you like this does go on forever so the moments just before kicking off the movie
before pressing play were like terrible and then you the fuck it you said this a couple episodes ago the music kicks off and i
took massive issue with that yeah huge umbridge with the sexed up sex in the city theme song that
they've wheeled out as being the um sort of unofficial score of this film that really
perturbed me and you just i was just feeling so defeated really hopeless
and then you kind of kick into it
it starts, events start happening
we've got the big montage and what not
we've got Big putting an entire nose
in his mouth which is
fucking weird
and then you kind of
get through some things
some things are going on but it's
the fucking dress sequence
man every time so many dresses the so many just hanging out with old friends like like stanford
blatch charlotte charlotte york i can't remember and then she starts reeling off the brands, right? Yeah. Yeah.
Here's what I want to do, Guy.
Like Vera Wang, I wrote them all down this week, Tim.
And Caroline Brown.
And Christian Lacroix.
And Maya Gown is all I could make up. And Dior.
And Oscar De La Renta.
And finally, Vivienne
Westwood.
A dress so beautiful
it could draw a tear from even
the most... Fuck, what's the word she uses?
Is it cynical?
Yeah, I think so.
Even the most... Unbelieving?
Unbelieving!
Unbelieving!
Wedding guests or something like that.
Fuck.
I'm getting better each time, but I'm still not where I should be with the script.
Okay, here's my offer, guy.
I'm on cosmopolitan.com because I've just searched for the
which sex in the city gal are you?
Are you ready to dip in?
We're going to do a quiz.
Okay.
Now, I want you to know that the first thing is you know websites now when
you go on and like every fucking single one of them is like hey do you want notifications on
this website and you go well i didn't want notifications on the previous 950 000 websites
but you know what obscure shopping website from australia where i'm
going to buy a dog toy yeah sure please keep me up to date on the latest goings and comings of
your particular organization i need to know please embed them into my browser so my web experience
can be truly complete anyway cosmo's version of that is they've got a little dialogue box that says
want to stay on top of all the shit you actually care about sign up now the two options guy are
obviously and i'm boring
well i don't even know if that's legal this feels like the wording on that runs afoul of the eu regulations
it feels like you can't just witness tampering i'm boring it does yeah exactly okay so we get
past that dialogue box then it says cosmopolitan want makeup hacks that will change your life
enter your email for secrets and shortcuts fuck off bring me to the quiz i would like to say this tim and feel free to push back
this is as low as we've been this season yes yes i know it's not appealing but this quiz this feels
like a celebration a triumph this feels like a distraction it feels like uh a moment's escape from these awful feelings that we're both having.
I am much more interested in hearing you
drag yourself through the muck and the mire
of your current mental state
than I am in knowing which Sex and the City gals we both are
because the answer is clear to me.
Yeah?
I'm a Miranda.
Well, let's test if that's true.
Surely there can be no greater authority on this
than Cosmopolitan magazine.
Okay.
What do you say, buddy?
Here's the thing, guy.
There are a few different...
I was going to say there's two kinds of people in this world.
Maybe that's true. Let's run with that for a second. there's two kinds of people in this world maybe that's
true let's run with that for a second there's two kinds of people in this world there's the
kind of people who when they get sad they put on a dowel and they celebrate their sadness and they
stay in it and often they stay there for too long and they just want to like feel all the negativity
process and go through it and then there's people like me who just want to forget
about all that put on some venga boys and just dance your woes away let's do this quiz i i think
that there's i think i'm a positive person i like to feel good i think that's established i mean you know that tim it's canon
but there's value in in leaning into the misery not just in this instance there's value in allowing
yourself to feel sad because once the quiz is over we're still in the same quandary you know
or that then we will deal we will cross that bridge it We've still got like 29 more screenings
Of this movie to go
Don't say that
Why it's true
That is a disgusting thing to say
Not even over the halfway mark
This is how it feels
Hey mate what you just said out loud
Is fucked
This is what it's meant to feel like
Tim
This feels familiar
This is where it's meant to feel like, Tim. This feels familiar.
This is where we got to at this point with Sex and the City 2, I think.
Yeah.
It was right around this.
This is a familiar neighborhood.
I've been in this suburb before.
These houses.
I know these houses.
They're broken down. It feels scary, and I can feel it.
It is a physical presence that I can feel all the way from my chest
down to the bottom of my heels, like this dread, this deep dread.
Oh, baby.
dread oh baby
it's so
it's a lot
I think we talk about this often
but it's for a good reason
a lot is to do with the duration
there is something to be said for how long
you're just spending in it
inside of it
it's far too long
that's meant to be what makes it funnier
anyhow
I am now that I've communicated that
feeling I feel sufficiently, I'm happy
to take this quiz so that those 29
looming screenings can be
taken secure in the knowledge which
character I am, according
to the good folks at Cosmopolitan
meant to empathise with the most?
I can barely talk.
I can barely summon words right now.
Hey, Guy, I believe each question will play out like this.
There is a question and then four possible answers.
You tell me what one you relate to the most.
Love at first sight is absolutely real.
Forget love. I'd rather have sex
cute in theory or utter fiction uh cute in theory oh that's a good answer
um guy you haven't got any action lately you pull out your handy vibrator focus on other things such as reading and jogging
go on the aggressive meeting people uh friends dating apps you'll find someone
or finally there's something called tinder that can easily take care of that
uh oh this last two are pretty similar yeah it's a tough one to answer. I feel like it would be, I would action it somehow.
So one of them is aggressive and one of them is just going on Tinder.
Even though I'm not big into Tinder,
I feel like the tone of that answer represents best what I would do.
Good, I've selected that for you.
Guy, your lingerie of choice is a colorful bra and a thong just a little edge a lacy corset that doesn't require too much skill
to take off a very cute bra and panty set or whatever's functional since it's coming off anyway. Probably the, I do like matching,
but I think I would wear,
oh, no, I don't know that I would wear a thong.
It's a pain in the,
but I think, oh, this is actually quite fun.
I think I would wear,
I'll go for the fun, the thong and the the fun bra is it a fun
bra okay so so there's um two options you're leaning to one of them says a colorful bra and
a thong just a little edge yeah this is a very cute bra and panty set uh i think i like the just
a little edge i like that tag so i So I'm going to go for that.
Great.
Guy, the guy you're into is starting to fade.
What's your last move?
Is it A, an invitation to a home-cooked meal at your place? B, an invite to meet you at the bar where you'll look your hottest?
C, some decent sexts ending with a promise that if he comes by,
you'll give him a night he'll never forget or
d a text straight up asking what the deal is and if he's not interested he should just stop talking
to you now uh i gotta tell you i think i would go to the bar and yeah that's that's largely because
i feel like you know if you're not sure how your energy is with this person, I don't want them in my house,
risking like a night of shit conversation,
trapped in my own home.
Hard out.
That's a great answer.
Text is too indirect.
And like, I don't think I would ever be capable
of sending a message being like,
I'm going to give you the best night of your life.
That is...
Can I ask you another question?
So I think we've got our answer, which is the bar.
Just a little detail question
have you ever um captured your genitals to digital media somehow have i taken a dick pic
yeah yes good shit that's not on here that was a quiz for me yeah i guessed as much why
why are you curious it's just something I'm always curious about with people.
Have you?
I haven't, but I think it's because I'm quite paranoid about technology.
Yeah.
I've never committed my junk to a computer.
Look, that's sensible.
And, you know, I can't imagine achieving enough success
that that would be of interest to anyone.
But what can I say to him i live in you've been naked on stage though i've seen
your penis and and people i've i'm pretty sure i'm naked in other people's photos which is a
slightly different thing uh um yeah but like there's a big there's a big difference between, you know, the knowledge that there might be your flaccid penis might be in circulation and your erect penis feels to me like a more private penis.
It's a hell of a statement piece, isn't it?
Having that photo out there.
Absolutely.
Your relationship deal breaker is when the guy is just too clingy and generally asking
for too much time that's not grammatically correct is just too clingy and generally asking
i understand the the gist of it though keep going uh just has too small a dick sorry you have needs
wasn't emotionally connect with you oh sorry won't emotionally connect with you
or i won't put you first it's between the emotional connection and the clingy one uh but
uh i'm gonna go for
emotionally won't emotionally connect with me okay guy you had two great great dates with a
guy you just met you a are ready to call it and switch to one of other five guys you're dating
dude's no sensation in bed you can't change the premise of the question in one of the options. D, suggest an original date, cooking together, film festival.
That'll totally charm him.
C, wait for him to text since you know if he's interested, he'll pursue you.
That's more romantic.
Or D, after Facebook stalking and getting all the intel possible to confirm he's not crazy,
reach out and suggest dinner.
What?
This one's so what they've
already been we've already been on two great dates and it's like what do i do next i i just i guess
i go on another date whatever the closest to that option was yeah i think suggesting an original
date cooking together film festival is probably the yeah yeah that's the
closest yeah that's the closest this one's fucking all over the map sort of that cosmo
um guy what's your favorite sex position a cowgirl b missionary c what isn't or d you don't really
have a favorite one you're into mixing it up. D. Good man.
A guy takes you out to drinks and you want to impress him.
So you order A, whatever he's having, because you can take it.
B, wine, because you're totally sophisticated.
Sorry, it's wine, because that's totally sophisticated.
C, sex on the beach, just because the word sex is in it
and he should take a hint.
Or D, whatever you want because your conversation
should be impressing him, not alcohol.
Such a sassy.
Obviously, it's option D.
This is so stupid though.
You go out for it.
You're asking what you want though. The question question is like what do you want to drink and the answer is whatever you want it's like yeah okay
sweet what's that well yeah but the others are all tethered to you know how you assume it's being
interpreted but that was the only one which represents any sort of amount of genuine free will there we okay guy has agency
roger that um how far through this quiz are we oh and there's no way to tell oh my gosh
guy what's your true sex fantasy is it a the most charming guy in the world after proposing
so romantically of course course, takes you home?
B, you're seriously asking that?
C, a super buff handsome guy
whisks you away to a luxury penthouse
and you go at it all night?
Or D, this blank won't do it justice.
It's that intense.
Was there only three options?
There's four.
So, charming guy in the world,
most charming guy in the world. Most charming guy in the world.
The B is just, you're seriously asking that?
C is a super buff handsome guy at a luxury penthouse.
And D, this blank won't do it justice.
It's that intense.
I interpreted you saying you're seriously asking that as a critique of the quiz.
Fair enough.
That is written in my voice.
What is the question again?
Your true sex fantasy uh my true charming guy charming guy buff guy you seriously asking that or
this blank won't do it justice it's intense uh charming guy oh no, no, no. Buff Guy.
Buff Guy.
Buff Guy includes a luxury penthouse and you go at it all night.
To be honest, yeah.
Charming Guy feels too realistic to me,
whereas Buff Guy is kind of like,
that is a bit more of a fantasy.
Yeah.
Oh, that was it.
That was the last one.
Guy, guess who you are uh honestly i have i have no idea though you're carrie bradshaw confident fun and not afraid to put yourself out there and see what
you find your firm sense of who you are is something people totally envy and flock to
be true to it against the jerks who come along uh well that's very that's very sweet um i remember
when we first started watching sex in the city 2 i i identified with carrie or wanted to be carrie
the most if only because i feel like i am the lead and this you know the romantic comedy that is my life um however you know the more time that we've spent with them the more i have warmed to
miranda um and i i stand behind that but uh yeah look what can i say there it is that was actually
uh i don't know what it was like to listen to but i
was having a really fun time answering those questions um great so i i suppose it was quite
long though so i suppose we'll discover which character you are maybe in the next episode
as i couldn't care less i would what i said sorry i just said i couldn't care less it's just i just
needed something to do guy because i
really i watching it today i was in such dire straits as like i don't even think i can talk
i need something else to sort of do the thinking for me in this episode oh my god can you can you
uh tell me i know that you've sort of you've given an overview of the moments when you felt
the lowest but is there any specific moment that made you cross when did it feel like the filmmakers and the performers were specifically antagonizing you
my friend tim bat i don't know this is i want to give you a moment but it was just
the whole body of work is the thing that makes it so interminable is that the word i'm looking for i wanted to cry at different parts of it
when did you want to cry
most of it during most of it i i mean you're you're these are two broader strokes to him i
want okay fair enough the the big punches the real haymakers that this movie
landed on me this week was the dress sequence which always happens uh the new year's montage
which always happens as well and just is that because of old lang syne it just is so slow
moving and shitty and also just everything to do with the wedding because there's no fun to be had
in any of that stuff like there's other little bits where we've got character actors or fun
little things or at least samantha just to brighten up the screen but when you're dealing rudgery of carrie bradshaw and john big oh man fuck it's just it truly is a chore okay i'll flip
the question uh who did you care about in this in this screening i cared about well actually this
leans into my shining light so should i do that uh to answer the question first let it naturally
segue into the shining light i care about louise's family yeah back home
in saint louis she's got um what i would uh guess to be a, a young niece who looks to be about eight years old.
She's got a mum and a grandma,
and they're all dress shopping
or doing the fitting for the wedding dress
for her coming nuptials.
And they seem like good people,
and we don't see very much of them that was your
shining light though it wasn't my shining light guy because you told me not to do the shining
light yet here is my shining light don't be sniffing with me it is when the little girl
who i'm guessing is louise's niece says uh that dress makes your baby your boobies look big
and then louise says mama can you take her this is a work call uh and then the the mom and the
grandma kind of grab her and my shining light is the look on the grandma's face
we're just like oh child you are out of line oh really so a very good a very good performance
especially considering how how little screen time she is afforded it could be three quarters of a
second that she is in this whole movie honestly we should count the frames but she uh communicates
excellently to the screen i'm'm looking forward to checking in with her
next time I watch the movie
it's a real treat guy
it's a real three quarter of a second treat
in this two and a half hour marathon
do you want to know mine?
I do, I really do
I've noticed it before
but I enjoyed it the most
I kind of wanted this scene
to go for longer just because I was really
enjoying the performance that Sarah Jessica Parker
was turning in even though
the set up for this scene is one of the most
annoying moments in the movie
Charlotte is at home
with her family, it's breakfast time
she's combing through the newspaper and who
should appear on page 6 but her dear friend carrie bradshaw um the wedding her wedding to mr big it's been
announced it's gone public by the way as a quick aside can i say it makes no sense that carrie is
like everyone seemed to have heard about the wedding of course they fucking she's like include
you know people you wouldn't even inspect, including my Vogue editor.
Like,
you have a close interpersonal working relationship with this person.
There has been a public announcement.
It is her job to be across the social pages of a newspaper.
It is totally reasonable to expect this woman to have caught wind of your wedding.
Like the idea that it's a surprise.
It's this sort of faux humble thing that really fucking gets under my skin oh guy but that's that's movies hurt you no no no yeah it has but
no uh but before that happens she calls up and she says uh your wedding's in page six and carrie
is lounging around at home with big they're having quite a leisurely morning it looks like
possibly a weekend and she's uh
definitely a weekend i reckon she has got some toast and she's sort of like in comfortable
clothes and she's sitting with her legs up on the couch and uh it's sort of it's that whole i've i
sort of thought of it as toast acting but that whole yeah the whole energy the way she sort of just glides through the scene the way she
sits uh the way she chews the way she sort of refers back to big uh between you know the
information that charlotte's feeding her i just thought it was uh an absolute master class
and um i'm a big fan of actors, or not of actors,
but in my limited experience of acting,
I'm a big fan of having something to do with my hands.
It's interesting when you try to act,
it's probably the most aware you'll ever be of your hands
and generally your lower arms
because you're like,
oh, wow, what am I doing with these all the time?
And I mean, not that i think sarah jessica parker needs a
piece of toast to to be convincing in a scene but i just thought it was uh honestly it was uh
and it's pretty upsetting because it came so early in the movie but it was a real fucking
really were you sort of thinking in your head that uh if you had been cast as carrie bradshaw
in the the film make of it you'd be very grateful for that uh if you had been cast as carrie bradshaw in the the film
make of it you'd be very grateful for that scene because you'd have uh i think that's definitely
part of it like in my mind i was like well you know if this was the audition scene there'd be
a chance you would nail it not nail it but i would feel more confident with that being the audition
scene than say the scene where they're looking around the apartment.
And I,
I don't,
I don't have a brief of what to do with my hands.
Yeah.
Do you,
when you are acting in films,
which you have done,
uh,
you're actually in a movie that's being released globally on Netflix called the breaker opera.
It's right.
Support.
Everyone should say support New Zealand,
uh,
moviemaking support, Jackie van Beek and Madeline Sami. It's a very funny film. called The Breaker Uppers, which everyone should see. Support New Zealand movie making.
Support Jackie Van Beek and Madeline Sami.
It's a very funny film.
The Breaker Upper is streaming all over the world on Netflix
except in New Zealand and Australia.
Because a different company got in there first
because I don't think our mates expected to be able to sell it
to streaming giant Netflix.
And I tell you what
there will never be a movie that has more
Little Empire people in it
Rose is in it
Rose Matafayo from Bones of the Heart
Pax Asadi is in it
from the freaking Dangerous Bro show
who else is in it
Chris Parker is in it isn't he
yeah Chris Parker, Nick Sampson
from the male gaze nick nick
sampson of walkout boys it's fucking head to toe podcast hosts who are dabbling in acting
that's how i want to frame it yeah absolutely podcasting is everyone's main vocation that is
true in new zealand um i had a uh fuck what were we talking about just now sorry i feel like i
derailed you're talking about oh yeah so when you go for roles do you would you would you
enjoy having some direction stage direction on what to do with your hands written on the scripts
uh not necessarily i just know that it makes me feel more relaxed but
uh to be honest like i i i'm at a point now of still you know very mild success but just comfort
within myself i think where uh i i don't worry about that because i'm like well i'm essentially
going to be cast as a version of myself and so all i can
do is show up as myself and if that's what they want great and if it's not i can't do anything
about that so uh i i don't worry too much about the hand stuff now but i i am still attitude i
still carry that awareness within myself and so i don't know actually i mean that might be a nice a nice uh slice of variety for the next
screening is if we both really concentrate on the hands of our performers sure uh sure i welcome any
other ideas i've had is to focus exclusively on the performance of one of the core four so
if you just watch charl Charlotte for the whole film,
even when the filmmakers,
she's in a scene with other actors or characters
and the filmmakers clearly want you to focus on them,
just zero in on Charlotte.
And I feel like that's where you're going to probably
wind up picking up quite a good number of acting tips.
There are no small roles, only small actors.
Charlotte's an interesting one for that because i've paid very close attention to her during other people's scenes and her reactions
that she does and it is charlotte's job in a lot of scenes to just laugh at the jokes of other yeah
she does a lot of background laughing yeah she's very supportive yeah she does like a few of them are pretty weak like
when they uh when they're carrie's shopping and charlotte's worried that her life's gonna go wrong
and uh for the disc yeah and she goes out with the old and in with the overpriced uh i don't know if
it was a decision by kirsten dav or if it was Charlotte didn't find the
joke as funny but it was a very half
hearted sort of
sort of dismissive laugh that
she doles out there
I think that's very rough of you to
lead with that feedback Guy because
she in pretty much every other
moment is very over the top
with her support
take the first scene where we we meet her
in real time when they're walking to the auction and uh she doles out on the charlotte report i
actually wrote it down she gives out four big chuckles and also two big massive sort of skyward
looking sighs so she's doing a lot of heavy lifting around the edges and if you watch it
once it feels naturalistic but if you keep watching it it feels very performative incredibly so yeah that's so true with her if you zone in on what
she's doing it it feels very like she's uh doing acting um but then again what can we expect
movies aren't supposed to be watched in this way well yeah and this isn't the regular consumption
pattern of your typical punter isn't
it interesting acting's one of the few vocations where it's like uh i she was acting a bit like
one of the few jobs where if you do the job too much or you you know put in too much it becomes
negative it's like you're never like an accountant oh yeah they were accounting a bit hard today
but with acting you're like oh no they were acting a bit they were reaching a bit they were acting a bit too hard
i think yeah but acting should be like
too hard means something different in that context you know it means it's become unnaturalistic
because surely the goal of any acting is to sell
a performance as being believable well not always that's that is you know tone dependent what what
is the movie going for i would not say i can't speak to the show but this movie it sort of it
feels naturalistic but it's not wholly natural like the world they exist in
is rarefied is this a real story but in terms of an actor's job it's their job to sell that
environment as being cohesive and in actual yeah oh man who even cares i wrote something down oh i quite like seeing dante's penis this episode
yeah why was that it's just something a bit different isn't it guy um you know yeah i guess
yeah i mean i lord knows i can relate to just really grabbing onto stuff i got a more negative
observation which was i really don't like the doors uh that big chose
for the wardrobe people i thought you meant jim morrison it's like how dare you uh i i don't have
anything specifically against the doors but i don't love them the way i once did i think they're
fine god he put a lot of stuff out there before he died at the ripe old age of 27 where's the
doors cover band intergalactic no that was the kinks and uh oh
fuck it was to the king they're called intergalactic glory hole and the the songs of course not
performed in the style of the kinks but as a one of those sort of upbeat late 90s early 2000s scar
bands yeah i do want to just finish this point that the doors and i don't know why i would expect
mr big to have any taste
because the way he dresses himself in this film is appalling.
The cut of the suits is, I don't know,
I don't know if it was meant to represent the meltdown he's having,
but Jesus Christ, it's hard to get behind this guy.
But he chooses these doors that he puts in front of the ward the hanging racks in the
wardrobe i fucking hate when people put doors in front of the racks i mean spaces that are not so
much in their home i guess lord knows where they found the space for this huge wardrobe i imagine
it cuts a huge chunk into the courtyard just this horrible protruding box but you're so right about
that i cannot imagine a blueprint
where this wardrobe works if you look yeah sorry yeah if you paint if you paint a floor map when
they're walking around the house initially and then you see the size of this wardrobe from what
it was it's just it screams if it doesn't make any sense screams of compromise and huge other
parts of the house but i just i don't like these doors. I really fucking hate these doors.
So just to be clear, you're talking about the doors.
We are inside the wardrobe.
We're inside the wardrobe.
Yeah.
So here's the thing about those doors, Guy.
I've got a theory.
I think that those doors are serving as a bit of a temperature
and moisture control for the clothes that are in there.
So it's kind of like a museum.
Like they're keeping them in ideal condition so the clothes are at peak closeness.
Yeah, the logic holds true, but no expense has been spared here.
Just put in an air purifier, you know, like get an HRV, put something in there.
Anyway, that's all by the by we're running out of time so i think it's important we do your favorite segment and mine
i don't want to bother you people now steve has arrived he is an emotional and physical wreck he
hops out of a cab he's gate crashing at least the outside of the night before the wedding for carrie and big what in fucking christ's name does this future mayor of new york city want
he's got a very important question because steve has set up cameras in what i would call a
disturbing number of locations that the girls frequent in their daily lives.
And there's a big question mark over what Steve,
how he fills his days when Brady's in school.
And the answer is he's basically reviewing the footage.
He's checking where people are going.
He's keeping notes.
He's analyzing patterns and behaviors.
I do not like this.
patterns and behaviors and he's got one question that he needs to put to the lift at vogue is the same guy who sold them
their penthouse apartment and none of them know what the fuck he's talking about because he's the
only person who has seen this guy whatsoever yeah they can't connect the dots. He hasn't been sleeping a lot,
so he's kind of lost his grip
on what other people's perception of reality is
and information they have.
I can't help but observe an incredible crossover
in the sort of information that Steve's consuming
and the information that someone like, say,
Tim Batt has been consuming recently.
There's crossover, no doubt about it.
Hey, but what do you think of that question, though? Do you reckon it's the same? Tim Batt has been consuming recently. There's crossover, no doubt about it.
Hey, but what do you think of that question, though?
Do you know the guy I'm talking about?
Unlike you and Steve,
I'm just not quite up to speed with the imagery. In addition to the grandmother, the hands,
the individual performance of one of the core four,
I'm now also going to be keeping an eye out
for this character on their way to the lift okay cool it's uh yeah it is i'm like 99 sure it's when
she's in the vogue building and they even say i think there's some idea oh no it's not ad actually
response someone says like congratulations and she just pushes past two people to get into the lift
one of them i'm pretty, is the real estate agent.
Oh, I felt okay in the middle of this episode, but just a dread of...
Okay, time to get out.
Knowing I'm going back.
Get out of the pool.
The water's gone bad.
But not before you give me a haiku to describe your emotional state right now and then I will do the same.
Or I could lead if you wish.
This movie is long.
Life is very short.
I know
we have made
error. We have made...
Error.
This feels like bullying.
Can you hurry up?
Sex and the City.
I need not watch this no more for i am a man
we just have a good rhythm together you know he sort of feels me out i feel him out and uh we go for it
