Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, friends. As we put the finishing touches on our next exciting adventure for you, we thought it was the perfect time to replay our second season of the podcast where we watch Sex and the City 2 every week for a year, hot off the back of the tragic news that and just like that will not be returning. Please enjoy. It's the worst idea of all time It's the worst idea of all time It's the worst idea of all time Hello and welcome along To what is categorically at this point in my life
Starting point is 00:00:46 The absolute worst idea of all time My name is Guy Montgomery And my name is Tim Bat And Tim What we're doing Is unacceptable You didn't enjoy that watch fella? It wasn't even
Starting point is 00:01:04 Like last week Where I actually felt anger and vitriol This week I just I just became deranged I just I couldn't interface With what was being laid down Yeah
Starting point is 00:01:18 I had trouble with that as well And then I just started like Really zoning in And then zoning back out I noticed things I'd never seen before What episode is this? This is this? This is the...
Starting point is 00:01:32 24. 4, right. Jesus. So, I'll just kick off with this as a little thing I noticed. Have you ever seen before the fact that when Siriuska Parker's talking on a cell phone, there's a pink piece of cloth that they put between her face and the iPhone? No. It's real weird.
Starting point is 00:01:53 Every time she's doing a phone call, there's this, like, yeah, it's a piece of cloth that's always there. I don't know what that's protecting from. I reckon maybe she's a germaphobe. Oh shit, do you reckon? Wouldn't that just... Wouldn't be willing to work around it? You'd be better off disinfecting the surface of the iPhone, though, surely. I suspected it was something to do with, like, chafing
Starting point is 00:02:14 because they would shoot for so long with those fake phone call scenes. Chafing? Yeah, smooth. It's smooth glass. You can't chafe on glass. That's crazy. Yeah, I'm spitball in here. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:02:27 I think... I think maybe it's either Sirius Capagal or the character of Kerry Bradshaw as a germaphobe. And I actually respect that. I had a friend who used to wipe, he used to wipe down everything. What did you do? He'd put napkins across the whole table at McDonald's. And napkins underneath everything on the tray before he could eat it. It was insane.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Isn't it funny how you get people like that in life who are very particular about things like germs and that sort of carry on? But they'll still eat at McDonald's. They'll still go there. They'll still eat the food. but they'll just find how to make it work for them. We're very adaptable. Well, then this guy, about, I don't know, a year later when he was going through a binge drinking phase at university,
Starting point is 00:03:12 drank a cup of his own vomit. So it's like, what's it all for? Nothing. Wow. I knew a guy at a party once who ate a tiny little bit of his own poo for like 12 beers. Oh, that's the... From memory, he never even got the beers. That is promised
Starting point is 00:03:29 Of all the sort of story swapping And things I've heard Across everyone's university career Eating your own poo Yeah That's for 12 beers That's probably the lowest Yeah
Starting point is 00:03:40 It took him a long time To shake that From his sort of persona Yeah Well It didn't sound like it was forced Like he wasn't a victim No
Starting point is 00:03:51 From the telling that I heard of that That's a voluntary decision Yeah I hear that it was Sort of a contractual obligation that he entered into of well relative soundness of mind and uh you know no coercion physical threats of violence or anything you don't come back from that it's hard to he's he's made a good go of it but it's i would estimate you know the guy do you still talk to him uh i don't he lives in a different
Starting point is 00:04:15 town than the one i live in he doesn't do you think does he have a spouse do you think um i know that he was with a partner for a very long time and i believe they're still together yeah do you do you know if the partner knows that the person that she's with or he's with ate their own shit. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. She's aware, because she's been on the scene for a very long time. I've done embarrassing things in my time. In fact, I'm on record on this podcast as having shat myself as recently as within a year ago. But I can live with that knowledge.
Starting point is 00:04:46 I don't think I could walk around knowing I've eaten some of my own. We've gone, like, blue very quickly. Just FYI on that note of when. you shat yourself when we went to Los Angeles last year for the first season. Are you cool with the fact that I've started telling that story on stage? Because I have and I am naming you every time I tell it. That's news to me, Tim. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:05:12 I probably should have to check that out with you first. I'm okay with it. That's good. I always think that the, um, I always think that shitting yourself stories kind of at the possession of the person who shat themselves in saying that though. never occurred to me to say it on stage so bloody lather up mate and get involved sorry mate it's your story but it just it came out one night and it was it was it worked quite well so we're running with that at the moment look that's okay if you haven't listened to the podcast before
Starting point is 00:05:43 it's not usually this entrenched in feces although pretty much it's a podcast in which timbat and myself gar Montgomery watch and review the movie sex in the city two every week for a year which is roughly about 52 weeks too long for the podcast to be happening Now funnily enough though At one point I wrote a little song during the movie Which was pretty much It was called
Starting point is 00:06:09 This is a bowl of shit in the middle of my day This is four women shitting in a bowl In the middle of my day I don't remember melody I'd just like to remind everyone as well That we're still on opposite sides of the world So guys in Edinburgh in the thick of the world's greatest performing arts festival right now. I'm in New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:06:30 What time is it where you are? Right now it is quarter past 12 a.m. It's quite late. Do you feel alone? Very much so. Zoe's actually left town for about a week. So this is... For another man.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Do you know what I've done? For a better life. Yep. well no for work firstly but secondly okay i mean obviously that's the lie you'd feed someone anyhow my night this evening has been going to the latest judd appetow rom-com by myself not recommended to do that and then following that up by watching sex in the city too in my bedroom by myself with everything switched off for two and a half hours
Starting point is 00:07:15 fucking terrible terrible choice of evening events yeah you haven't done well I want to hear your song cheer me up mate it was part of like a half hour stream of consciousness melody I was creating it was sort of like for a woman chitting in a bowl
Starting point is 00:07:33 in the middle of my day I can't actually recapture it because I literally sang if anyone I actually thought it's a shame we don't use our phones because I could have periscoped this to people I like was properly going bananas today
Starting point is 00:07:48 really did you lose your grip more so than previously I was yelling I was yelling at the girls oh no literally yelling at my what were you saying what were you on about
Starting point is 00:07:59 just like no you don't get to introduce the pro you don't get to say that like a lot of what they're doing they haven't earned the right they haven't earned the right to crowbar in feelings yeah
Starting point is 00:08:14 into this vacuous hole vacuous hole vacuous hole vacuous hole we'll get to that but I do want to hear your song first I tried to do it I can't recapture it
Starting point is 00:08:31 it was just like of the moment but pretty much I wrote down I started writing down the lyrics as I was singing it and I got confused between the writing and the singing so in my book I've written four women in a bowl
Starting point is 00:08:43 and then in parenthesis shitting and then in the middle of my day and like that's that's a note obviously it's of the time but you know if someone was to find this diary or this whatever it's this joke book I don't know what you'd call it at this stage
Starting point is 00:08:58 I mean these are the etchings of a mentally unstable person I imagine if Edinburgh Scotland went Pompeii all of a sudden and that was like a significant record of human activities captured forever in volcanic ash and they were like what were people up to
Starting point is 00:09:15 back in the day they were writing abstract poetry about women in film and they seemed really pissed off about it. I'd be frozen with a microphone in my hand and tears streaming down my face. It was so fucking awful this week, man. It was uniquely, like, just a really bad time all around.
Starting point is 00:09:36 I get what you're saying, because last week it was like, there was anger. There was anger... It was venom. Yeah, it was like, there was anger permeating the entire watch last week, and all directed it at Patrick Michael King,
Starting point is 00:09:49 which I think was warranted. When you put yourself on that triple threat title for the CREDs, you know, director, producer, writer, oh we, you are shouldering the blame that one's a flop, mate. You always say that's a red flag.
Starting point is 00:10:02 I also thought, I don't know if either of us have noticed it before, but the first line where Carrie's talking about moving New York and she goes, I like to think of it as B.C., which does it move to New York? Before Carrie. Before Carrie.
Starting point is 00:10:16 I mean you know you're in trouble So she's at the outset of this film She set herself up as a literal Christ figure Which is incredible because And no There is precisely zero sacrifices that she makes Every whim that she wants to indulge she does Let's go through it
Starting point is 00:10:35 She wants to go out to the film premiere She drags her husband along Who doesn't want to go Who's just been at work all day She wants to go to Abu Dhabi She just does I'm so on board with what you're saying I found Carrie to be a real villainous figure in this in this watch
Starting point is 00:10:50 I thought she's just she's running riot there's no impulse control on that woman she's bloody running into ex-boyfriends and patching them on the mouth she's married what are you doing Carrie and like to no consequence still has the goal to call out Bigfoot not picking her up from the airport yeah I'm sorry I'm sorry did you forget what you did
Starting point is 00:11:10 and then Charlotte she just fucking rips Charlotte like several new assholes what were once two wonderful fleshy cheeks smooth as a baby's bottom because of that fantastic moisturiser they presumably
Starting point is 00:11:25 get given to use on set she just puts maybe fires in seven to eight new assholes and then she has the gall when they're dealing with Samantha's legal problems for fucking some time-travelling Danish architect on a beach she just rabbits on and on
Starting point is 00:11:40 about all the fucking initiatives for cheating on her husband and then she goes oh yeah And P.S. as an addendum to this, I'm really sorry that you were right and I was going to cheat on my husband and that I pinned it all on the fact that you're insecure about your relationship. There isn't enough attention paid to the fact that what she says to Charlotte is fucking brutal. Like when she's getting in that lift and she just says, oh, everyone's cheating on their partners because your marriage is in trouble. It's the fucking elevator door. You're on holiday, mate. Can you rain it in? Can you fucking just take it down? down a notch she has no control
Starting point is 00:12:16 it's funny as well that you say that there's not enough made of this I'm pretty sure at this juncture Tim that the only people who have the I mean the daunting opportunity laying in front of us mate yeah it's pretty much down to us I don't know
Starting point is 00:12:32 how this is renting anymore I don't know what the numbers of watching it are I mean last week we put out a call we said to anyone who just had two and a half hours of their life and a life so glorious that they were okay with feeling really sad for that amount of time please watch the movie so you can understand um do you want to hear one i think i would love to hear one
Starting point is 00:12:54 i felt the response was a little bit underwhelming and do you know how much i respect that yeah really stoked to hear that everyone way to be living balanced happy lives i'm so proud of every i'm so proud of you listener because you you're right to ignore us we're not and we're not well, all right? In the midst of our aggressive fervor for you to say, do you know what? I don't know that these two guys are making the best life suggestions for me right now.
Starting point is 00:13:23 I'm not going to do that. You are on the money. One man who has taken our calls and pleased to watch the film is a guy called Mike Criko, who got in touch with us and this is what he sees right from the horse's mouth. Holy shit. I took your advice from the last podcast and watched
Starting point is 00:13:40 the movie. What the fuck? It is the worst. It's racist, homophobic sexist, hand-fisted in its dealings with social issues and just awful writing. I couldn't get through it in one sitting and I have no idea how you guys have done it. I legitimately cheered when coffee guy appeared, but it instantly felt sad again because I saw how much of the movie remained. There are so many things wrong with this film and it makes me mad. My appreciation for what you guys have done is increased dramatically, has increased dramatically. So that's nice. Well, is it, I like that your appreciation,
Starting point is 00:14:14 for what we're doing is increased. Someone made a giff of Coffee Guy and put it on Twitter this week. I was deeply upset. I think it's great that they isolated the moment and have immortalized it and pretty much reduced what is watchable of the film into one seven-second loop. But knowing that I have to do it for about, I don't know, 70 hours more. Hey, but you found out a fun fact about Coffee Guy. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Well, I did. So I looked him up in the credits, right? Yeah. So what does he credit? What is he credited as? In Sex in the City, too, Coffee Guy is credited as Coffee Shop Guy. Uncredited. Coffee Shop Guy, okay.
Starting point is 00:14:53 I think that's a pretty good name for him. So we've done pretty well by putting him by default under the label of Coffee Guy. We were only one word off the production, shish. Yeah, it was implied he was in the coffee shop. He was in the first movie, also in an uncredited role, as Elaine's friend. Now, sadly, as someone who is not really familiar with, any of the sex of the city franchise
Starting point is 00:15:16 preceding this film which does seem ludicrously unfair as I say it out loud now I don't know who Elaine is but I know this guy is in some way he's got a
Starting point is 00:15:27 I don't know either Michael I was going to say he has dirt on Michael Patrick King and keeps leaning on him to get in the movie but it's just occurred to me maybe the reverse is true
Starting point is 00:15:36 maybe Michael Patrick King has got incriminating information on every single person involved in the production of this film. Would not surprise me in the slightest if I found that out. That's probably one of the most plausible reasons as to why it was made right now. Though, I mean, there's no getting around the fact that our four leading ladies
Starting point is 00:15:56 all would have made a pretty substantial amount of money out of this film, just by signing up to it, right? Like, we can all safely assume they all came out of this like bandits. Yeah, they did, and that they have to wear balaclavas in public now because of the disservice they've done to movie making worldwide. Now, one other thing I want to bring up, just while you're talking about kind of the wider franchise and whatnot, is I sent you a screenshot of something I saw online earlier this week
Starting point is 00:16:24 on like an Amazon review or something like that. Someone's asking, where's Tate in a scandal that hitherto for will be referred to as Tategate? So Aiden apparently has his son that he mentions at like the end of the TV series, I think. I don't think he's in the first movie at all So I think this is like one of the Maybe the last season One of the final episodes of the TV show And he talks about his son Tate
Starting point is 00:16:51 Now he names his three boys When Carrie runs into him And they have dinner together Homer, Wyatt And Not Tate Yeah not Tate Another one is not Tate
Starting point is 00:17:05 Which is what they call him at the Aiden dinner table So they were going What the fuck has happened to Aiden's son And, like, there's potentially a really tragic sort of subplot that's being alluded to by the fact that Tate's no longer in the picture. Aidan's not talking about him. It's a goddamn tragedy. But it's also a tragedy that Carrie cares so little about what's going on in Aiden's life.
Starting point is 00:17:28 A man she was formerly, I understand, briefly engaged to, maybe, or something. Fucking didn't even, like, question it. They were flirting so outrageously. I really don't think that any of that family's... stuff was registering. I mean, he takes out a photo and shows the kids to carry, but I don't think that that's an adorable family was going through a head. I think it was like, wow, I'm pretty sure you've lost a son along the way. I'm sure that it was heartbreaking for you. I don't know how, and I don't know why, but I have a funny feeling that the Rat King Brady is somehow involved in this.
Starting point is 00:18:04 I wouldn't be surprised to hear of Tate maybe being taking as some sort of underling. I think, I mean, I think maybe Tate faked his own death to avoid any involvement in the Sex and City 2 franchise. Right. I think Tate,
Starting point is 00:18:23 who presumably was quite young, maybe two or three, but precocious to say the least. Yeah. Maybe somehow wrote himself, this is the actor who plays Tate, who's also coincidentally called Tate,
Starting point is 00:18:37 yeah. Sort of fraudulently staged his own death and somehow got the news in front of Michael Patrick King to ensure that he would no longer be involved in the franchise and obviously he didn't, Tate didn't want us to dig this up.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Michael Patrick King, it didn't occur to him because he just took it as red that the actor and character Tate had been killed and he's probably gone on to work you know, in some sort of underworld mafioso franchise alongside our Rat King who every week
Starting point is 00:19:11 I just want to see more and more from. I know. I've got a hunger for Brady. Guy, I've got a hunger for Brady that I can't quash. There's no quelling it. I need more Brady. I need more Brady in my life. I need the animated series of what Brady the Rat King's up to.
Starting point is 00:19:27 I want an entirely CGI created spinoff. Like maybe just maybe a fan-made web show, you know, of what Brady's up to in the sewers. I want him in my life. I want more Brady. I think just anything else. I think anything else. I don't, two and a half hours, right? It's a long time.
Starting point is 00:19:49 It is. And I just, there was, I think it was 45 minutes and I'm not, I'm not overestimating how long I spent singing to myself today. I think there are 45 minutes of chants and songs today in the Montgomery camp. And that's a lot. I mean,
Starting point is 00:20:04 I chant and sing to myself, you know, when I'm bored or whatever sometimes. But 45 minutes of sustained chanting. inspired by what was happening on the screen in front of me, there's a line that's being crossed here. And I just, I don't, I don't know what, I don't know what we meant, I don't know what we meant to do about this.
Starting point is 00:20:22 I don't, I don't, I just, Tim, we're not even halfway. Yeah, I know. Sometimes I feel fine about it. And this week, I just, I'm so, yeah, I'm just scared. I got big pangs of fear as well watching it this time. I was like, fuck me, Struth. I can't believe we're not even halfway, like, for the 50% mark. It's like, because it gets incrementally worse, the more, like, everything's gone.
Starting point is 00:20:49 We've, we've derived all it, we've juiced that orange, there's nothing left. There is a husk where an orange skin once existed. It's all gone. Rung the Sex and the City 2 sponge dry. It's all gone and we've got to watch it another 20, what, seven, eight times? What, I would love to see them. I would, like, I think the movie, it would be. improved but it would certainly be a more
Starting point is 00:21:13 honest exposition of the production if we could remove all of the foley all of the music so all we get is dialogue I think do you have any concept for how fucking barren this movie would be were it not for soundtrack soundtrack is doing
Starting point is 00:21:29 so much of the heavy lifting in this film and I think that's why I want to see it I just want at least it would be honest can you imagine working the sound desk and being given this film without any of the audio underlay and being like you've given it and Michael Patrick King's like okay so you're going to think I'm crazy we're still going to release it and I'm going to be
Starting point is 00:21:52 like 100% honest with you right now 90% of the work is on your shoulders we've done what we can I need you to fix this I need you to fix this now and then the guy's like what he want me to do and Michael Patrick King just said I don't know just put some vaguely Middle Eastern moving sounding music underneath like all of the stuff in Abu Dhabi for a start just in case any of the audience members
Starting point is 00:22:16 dip out and forget that the girls aren't in New York City anymore fuck man I don't even I just fuck just fuckety fuck fuck fuck you make me sick gone middle like a candlestick can't get enough of it I was
Starting point is 00:22:29 I was wearing what happened to pink pink was like one of the most significant artists of our generation and I have not heard hide nor hair out of her ranges. She chose maybe to fade into the recesses of pop music or our finger is not the pulse like it used to be.
Starting point is 00:22:44 I actually wrote, I think it would have been in year seven, I would have been 11 years old maybe. I wrote a music assignment on Pink and I remember it vividly because the last sentence I wrote in my music assignment about Pink was after the release of her debut album
Starting point is 00:23:00 and the last sentence I wrote was, right now everything looks rosy in the world of pink. Jesus, you're good. such an early age the talent was all there just wasn't fully formed yet i couldn't disagree more but thank you very much um the thing is with pink though and i've had this conversation with people believe it or not before but she was kind of like uh you know she was the biggest artist of our time because she was so crossover the moms loved her the girls loved her the boys could kind of get into it a bit as well you know it was she was huge she was selling records for so long
Starting point is 00:23:36 I don't know. She was big. I don't know that she was the biggest pop star. I don't know at any point if she was sort of categorically number one globally. Here's another bit of audience feedback from someone who for some reason watched the film and got in touch with us. So I say thank you to Joseph Adams, who said seeing coffee guy was great and almost nothing else was. I think Michael Patrick King should have one of those Muslim call to prayer speakers hooked up in his house. and when it goes off he has to drop to his knees
Starting point is 00:24:06 and apologise to the universe for bringing this film into existence. Thanks, Joseph. It's dramatic, but I like that you've brought in elements from the film into your punishment. I know that we said to watch it and I know that it's too late for some of that you have.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Hearing you read these back, I'm feeling guilt like every single user review that you fire at me makes me, I'm racked with more and more guilt. Yeah, I definitely take it back. And I already feel bad about it. I don't, I'm so confused.
Starting point is 00:24:39 I don't think I take it back. I do. I take it back on both of our hubs. It was a cruel thing to say. We said it in the heat of the moment. It's like when your parents are going through a divorce and they say things they don't mean. That's what was happening with us.
Starting point is 00:24:51 We said a lot of things. We don't mean all of them. Maybe, in fact, not maybe. Definitely do not watch this film. Sex in the City, too. There's nothing good for you. I think maybe sit down to it. What you could do,
Starting point is 00:25:04 How long was the episode of Sex and City? It was on HBO? Were they an hour or were they 30? I think they were an hour. Break the movie into 30 minute increments. So what is that? Five episodes. You won't enjoy yourself.
Starting point is 00:25:21 Let's think about that. Like, what are the episodes as they are in the film? So the first half hour is basically the wedding. It's the two, it's the gay couple getting hitched and how that reflects on Carries. marriage as well right i think that's our first step yeah so that's pretty much it's as sex in the city challenging uh you know what what is a marriage i think that they're channeling the advent of gay marriage as a sort of a um well you know we could all rewrite the we could all rewrite the rulebook for ourselves sort of piggybacking in on the goodwill of gay marriage and hopes that people can
Starting point is 00:26:02 get invested in Carrie and Big's seemingly fine marriage if Carrie just fucking stop moaning about having eat takeout. That really fucked me off this week, Tim. I can't do this again episode yet. That Carrie gets so upset. What really spins her in circles is when Big comes home from work with the Sobu Noodle Takeout. Yep, Sobu Express.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Sobo Express. And he puts it on the table. And she doesn't notice that. And she says, we're going to go to this movie premiere. And he goes, oh, yeah, I'm pretty. tuck it out. Yeah, yeah. You go, though, kid.
Starting point is 00:26:34 You go, and he does call her kid. He's a condescending weirdo. And she goes, oh, I want to go with you. And he's like, nah. And he's being reasonable. And she's like, she's been kind of reasonable as well. She goes, okay, we won't go. All right, I'll go with Stanford.
Starting point is 00:26:52 You don't have to come. She looks at the table. She sees that Big has bought what looked like delicious takeout Japanese noodles for two. And she flips her lid. She pours him half a gallon of whiskey and says, binge drink, you son of a bitch. That's how we're getting through this marriage. It's how we're getting through this night.
Starting point is 00:27:12 I refuse to sit in a house with you and eat takeout. It's like, where is the inn for an audience in that moment? I would love, I would love to sit in a house with Big and watch the financial news and hear about the woes of his life and eat fucking takeout noodles. And then maybe cap off the night with the literal greatest episode of Deadliest Catch in the eight seasons the spin on the year
Starting point is 00:27:33 as we would lead to believe in that bang and teaser they headed on the tally I want to watch Deadliest Catch with that man they keep picking at that thread of like when Carrie says that
Starting point is 00:27:47 when Carrie accuses big of not watching TV and not a black and white movie I'm like you are you are grasping yeah you're just looking at something to be outraged
Starting point is 00:27:58 about at this point Carrie so let's just cool call it down um i'm abandoning this episode thing i can't be bothered going through all five what i do okay no we'll do it at pace we can do it at pace we can do it episode two so episode two is i guess them going to the film premiere and then running into mylie sarash that's a fun little episode isn't it funnily enough oh wait no they've got to pick out the dress first but yeah sorry you go uh yeah it was them getting ready for the movie premiere while carrying big's relationship crumbles was the second and so funnly enough my shining light
Starting point is 00:28:29 was buried in that in that moment a line I had not heard before when when Miley Cyrus and is on the rec cupboard at the same time
Starting point is 00:28:42 as Kim Kutrell and they're sharing that wonderful outfit I heard off mic someone just yelling out is that your mother yes had you heard that for the first time too
Starting point is 00:28:51 I mean I don't think it's a particularly funny or great line but it was just nice to find something different in you in that moment definitely
Starting point is 00:29:00 I'm with you man it's like the cell phone cloth thing it was just like hey hadn't noticed that before well you you were wearing headphones
Starting point is 00:29:07 this watch eh no I had a little Bluetooth speaker sitting on top of a large glass do yourself do yourself a favour mate chuck on some good quality headphones next time
Starting point is 00:29:17 there's a lot of like panning that goes on with the soundtrack a lot of left to right with those crazy bongo type drums and satas it's a lot of fun
Starting point is 00:29:27 all right I'll do it for you um so episode two is yeah uh Samantha taking on the fashion industry by her saying i'm 50 fucking two and i'll wear this dress that my eyes is wearing too and it'll be awesome episode three is uh they all decide they're going to ibubi and they account for that and they make plans i and i reckon they kind of yeah they get there yeah and we've got miranda struggling with her mother issues and also charlotte struggling with her mother issue so that's the mother episode yeah and uh obviously samantha struggling with her hormones and carrie just
Starting point is 00:30:02 sort of pottering around being a general nuisance yeah uh then our fourth episode i guess is them just fucking kill on time and abu davi it's just a holiday yeah which it is what you're supposed to do for so much of the movie it's just like yeah we forgot to like add this is and those were the moments when i thought it'd be really nice to hear the movie without any sound effects or additional audio, just hear the dialogue because I'm like, that would really sort of shine a very ruthless light on what is a harrowing
Starting point is 00:30:35 and sad trip. Fuck, it would drag. And then I guess the final episode is just all of the resolution crap. We find out that the nanny's gay and we find out that big border diamond for Carrie to reward her infidelity and we find out who the fuck cares.
Starting point is 00:30:53 God damn it. Fuck. none of those episodes are watchable if I had to I would watch the first episode it at least resembles the TV show the rest of it is just like it's just
Starting point is 00:31:07 it's like a you know if a body dies in the ocean and it sort of it gets bloated water bloated yeah that's what this movie is it's a water bloated corpse of a film wow what a visceral metaphor
Starting point is 00:31:23 yeah I'm sorry it's it's dark in blue. Just like my feelings. My shining light this week is the shirt that Aiden's wearing in the Soak. Is it linen? That lovely white shirt? Yeah, it is. And it's got an additional pocket too.
Starting point is 00:31:41 It's such a good shirt. I really dig that shirt. I think it's got quite nice little sort of knife pocket or a leatherman. Yeah. And he's a practical guy. I think he could build stuff with his hands. It's interesting that you say Leatherman because I've got a little Leatherman squirt, which are the tiny little pocket ones
Starting point is 00:31:57 and I just broke, I snapped a blade on it just before the movie started by accident. I was trying to loosen a flat head screw and it was so tight that it snapped one of the blades
Starting point is 00:32:08 in half. How about that? Yeah. I reckon you could send that back. Yeah, they seem like... I don't know. It didn't cost that much. It was, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:18 I've had it for a while. I don't think it's normal for a screw to be stronger than a leatherman. Well, it depends how tight. the screwers as always but they're just the little ones they're just a little we lose them there's neither
Starting point is 00:32:30 here nor there we're running out of time Tim yes we are um hey look one thing that I just I just I have to bring up because we don't pay enough attention to this and it's such a bizarre feature of the movie that Suzanne Summers book just keeps popping up
Starting point is 00:32:45 it's at the start of the movie it's in the middle it's at the end the fucking Arab woman have got a copy Samantha's hammering it they really hammer it at the end when all of the woman in the room start whispering the name Suzanne Summers as they're pulling out the book
Starting point is 00:32:58 which is very unusual I haven't made in many book club meetings but I'm pretty sure the tradition isn't you pull out the book that you're reading while you all whisper you don't go Mark Twain Mark Twain Mark Twain Mark Twain
Starting point is 00:33:08 that's not normal It's fuck it It's just it's Hamfisted is a word that again comes to mind it's brutal man and it's just so odd because you don't
Starting point is 00:33:18 I mean in terms of product placement I don't see a lot of books and movies that generally I think They share audiences. I want, I'm going to buy you that book. I actually, I had to reveal that to you because you kind of, you were going to buy it for me or something. And I had it in my diary to buy you that book for your birthday, for your present. Like, I had it a week before your birthday so I could make sure I get it in time.
Starting point is 00:33:40 I'm not going to do it now because I won't be surprised. My pledge to you is I will read that book within the week of you giving it to me. Yeah, it looks big, man. The movie makes it out to be a real tone. I've got it, I've got a big appetite for knowledge. Do you expect Suzanne Summers' book about the, navigating through menopause is a real page turner, or do you think it'll be a bit dull? I don't know that it will resonate with me, but I mean, I'm at least curious to see what all the fuss is about.
Starting point is 00:34:04 I'm watching upwards of 15 people every week rave about it. Very good. Although it does seem to me that pretty much all it tells you is to, like, increase your hormone intake. And eat yams. Get yacked up on yams. Look, let's round things off there. Guy, tell everyone about your fabulous show as well. Let's get more...
Starting point is 00:34:26 What is happening over there, mate? People are coming into the house. Okay. They're looking at me. I look sad. Yeah, you are. We haven't even indulged what the coffee man might be happening. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:34:43 Well, let's... Let's... A squebida, you know? Let's just a shubida. Let's squebidda. Let's squebidi bab, bab, ba. Let's scuba. Bada-ba-ba-ba-p-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-d-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-hru-h. What's he doing? What's he up to you?
Starting point is 00:35:07 More than ever. This guy, obviously, has just occurred to him that he has been heavily sedated by Michael Patrick King, all right? This is not a character. This is a real human being who's coming to consciousness live on set through the medium of coffee. Michael Patrick King's one piece of direction for this guy, or for the waitress serving this guy in the film, was make sure you don't put any actual caffeine in there because it will undo the effects of the rehypnal. He'll come to consciousness, he'll realize he's in Sex and City 2
Starting point is 00:35:34 after the awful experience he had during Sex and City 1. Fuck. So pretty much what we're witnessing is a man sedated, coming to consciousness, live on camera, and walking out. Walking off set, he doesn't want his paycheck, he just wants to go home to his family. It's pretty fucking meter, bro. Quite dark.
Starting point is 00:35:54 It's pretty fucking accurate, too. That is a dark roast, go on Montgomery. His name, do you know what his name is? Go on. I think, I mean, I reckon we need to reach out of this guy. I think we absolutely should. Tom Stratford. Tom Stratford is our new Tanya ice cream girl.
Starting point is 00:36:11 We need to find him. Did you know, Tom Stratford grew up in the same town as Angelina Jolie where she spent her early childhood? I didn't know that before. It's never good when your trivia on IMDB is rooted in a very loose correlation to some other person.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Hey, plug your show, mate. I can hear things that Whittles are turning at your place. I need to get you out of here, back to your Edinburgh Fringe Festival. There's people whispering all around me, whispering plans to watch shows.
