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 Season two
Starting point is 00:00:41 Hello and welcome To the worst idea of all time Episode 35 Screening 34 My name is Guy Montgomery My name is Tim Bat We are On a quest
Starting point is 00:00:58 We are warriors on a quest. On a quest to watch sex in the city too more times than anyone else and anyone else has ever done it. If not that, at least more times than is necessary. Big time. A threshold, which I would argue we've already crossed over.
Starting point is 00:01:15 Oh yeah. Hey, let me say this right from the outset. I would like to thank someone who's helping us and by someone, I mean something, and by something I mean Caramacola. This episode sponsor. Mm-mm, Carmacola. It's good for you.
Starting point is 00:01:30 It is. Wow. I don't know if it's met it. It's as good as a cola can be for you. There you go. You're holding, first of all, the shape of the bottle is what I'd like to emphasize. Let me just put that in my head. Okay, very shape.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Have you got a visual? Yeah, it's a nice curvy. Glass blonde, every piece in installation. They hire a very reclusive but sort of well established within the art world glassblower who lives in the Himalayas to blow every bottle. They're actually losing money on the venture. Oh, no. That's right.
Starting point is 00:02:03 I mean, it's ridiculous, really. They're importing these sort of individual art installations as bottles and then just giving them out to be recycled. It makes no sense. But such is their commitment to quality, this is what they're doing. And that's true of all of Kamakola's operations, really. Just they're all about the quality. From woe to go. The colder itself, top-notch stuff.
Starting point is 00:02:26 Really top-notch product. Really good stuff. I would like to remind everyone that it doesn't have disgusting things in it, all those artificially things. It's just got good sweet things like real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup. And they're a great company because they give back to the farmers that they take the cola beans from. One in every hundred bottles contains a laminated check for $10,000. I heard that.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Redemable to cash. I heard that. It's a rumor. It's a rumor that's going around. It's on the rumor mill. A lot of rumors going around. Another rumor going around Is this movie we just watched
Starting point is 00:02:59 Not so good That's right I don't know who's out there Working the gossip mill But they're spreading vicious And heartless and frankly Baseless and unfounded rumors V-R-V Sex and City 2
Starting point is 00:03:11 What are they saying guy What are the Mark Pedalers out there pushing They're saying it's too long They're saying it's water long It's flogging a dead horse They're saying there's no chemistry remaining There's no storyline
Starting point is 00:03:23 It's offensive All this stuff is is untrue, patently untrue. This film is a triumph. It is a real piece of work. And I mean that in the most sincerest sense, I can mean it. That's right. It's an ambiguous term.
Starting point is 00:03:41 And the way you said it, it didn't make it explicitly clear that what we are advocating right now is the movie. It's great, is what I want to say. Sex in the City is great. That's why I had such a fun time watching it today by which I mean
Starting point is 00:03:56 I was very depressed watching this film today I could send your eyes and I know why it is it's because it's so good it's so all absorbing all encompassing it's such a journey
Starting point is 00:04:11 to another destination that all of your personal woes and problems the reason that we watch movies are all become apparent when watching Sex and the City 2 you were so upset to know that you had but two and a half hours away from the hubble and stubble and trouble of everyday life.
Starting point is 00:04:31 There is an element of that because of the nature of how we conduct ourselves while we're watching the movie we like to shut ourselves off. They've got to say, I flirted with that line today and I ordered a pizza halfway through. Turn my phone back on and ordered a pizza. You even wrote a positive affirmation and the message to the pizza maker.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Yeah, like a smart ass. I hope they appreciate it, though. I feel like it was in earnest. It's difficult to convey. toned through text. Yeah, it is. I was really just trying to convey the notion of having a good day. Because, you know, if you work for a pizza place, good on you, is what I say.
Starting point is 00:05:04 But it's not the world's funnest job at all times. Sometimes you're dealing with some real pieces of shit and you've got to go to their house because that's the nature of pizza delivery. I like the idea of being a pizza boy. You do or you don't? I do. Yeah, I feel like I could get on board, eh? Maybe it's like Futurama really kind of put it in my head that it would be
Starting point is 00:05:24 cool thing to do in Montreal I lived there for a summer I worked at a sushi restaurant quite a flashy sushi restaurant that would deliver sushi to people's homes and it's actually
Starting point is 00:05:37 I think it's a legal requirement in Quebec that you have to be bilingual you have to be able to hold it like every interaction has to be opened in French and you have to be able to speak both French and English to hold down a job there
Starting point is 00:05:48 and Guy may I take this opportunity to say parley vu Fonsei non non no no which is French for no, no, no. Anyway, one day, one of the drivers who delivered the sushi was sick and I got to step up to the plate
Starting point is 00:06:01 and I've got to say I have not had a better afternoon at work. I was driving around Montreal and this like flashy neighbourhood to these sort of half French people just giving them sushi. And were they called to deal with
Starting point is 00:06:15 these peeps? I was actually pretty nervous talking to all of them because I didn't speak any French. Yeah. But it was fine. Awesome. I did my first bar.
Starting point is 00:06:24 our job the other weekend. Last weekend. At Brothers was awesome. Working can be fun. As long as you don't do it too much. That's my takeaway. It's good to get your opinion on these things, Tim. I've played that game. I played that game for many years. Allegedly 40-hour week, you know?
Starting point is 00:06:42 Worked in many call centres is what I did. Now, is it true that one of your colleagues made himself a screensaver? Of what? Oh, of the work thing. Is that you? No, that's what we're in the stand-up community called a construction, a fabrication as well.
Starting point is 00:07:02 I genuinely believe that. This whole time I've known you. There was enough specificity to the... That's what makes a joke real. Give it specificity. Give it life. Anyhose, no one knows what we're talking about. It was a bit I used to do on stage, on the stage when I was doing stand-up about...
Starting point is 00:07:21 It wasn't a bit, it was real. Let me believe it was real. was a guy that I used to know at my old job and he created a screen saver which looked like him doing work so he just used to bash the keys on an unplugged keyboard while his screen animated itself to no end like he could have just been doing the work but it was that was kind of like an amalgamation of people I worked with where they would go to such great lengths to do not the work and it would be easier to just do the work than to find all these you know very exotic ways of getting out of it.
Starting point is 00:07:54 Yeah. That was the point I was trying to convey. Hey, and you did a great job of it. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. To the movie. To the film. To the movie we just watched.
Starting point is 00:08:07 It's a joy. You know who my favorite character is? Carrie Bradshaw. Why? She's identifiable. She's everything a protagonist should be. She's empathetic. She's funny.
Starting point is 00:08:19 She's got pizzazz. She's got panache. a great group of friends. They say that the measure of a person is the people around that person. Yes. Carrie Bradshaw keeps only the finest company. She's in a rock-solid marriage.
Starting point is 00:08:31 She understands she is the perfect audience surrogate. I identify with Carrie Bradshaw. You're just like Carrie Bradshaw? I'm just like Carrie Bradshaw. You're also a writer living on New York City's Upper East Side. I am currently married to an investment banker. Aren't we all? Aren't we all?
Starting point is 00:08:50 I guess when you really dig deep, dig deep down in there, we all are Carrie Bradshaw. We all are writers in some way. We all are demonstrating to others and communicating how the dating life works in New York City in the modern era. All are. We're all big, though. You know what I mean? We're all smooching Aiden. We're all Miranda.
Starting point is 00:09:14 We are all Charlotte. We are all Aiden. We are all Brady. We are all Brady We are not all Brady We are all of us Brady And Brady is all of us
Starting point is 00:09:27 Brady represents all of us This was a hard watch this time A really hard and harsh one This is troubling Unsettling and unkind And unrelenting Why do you think that is Tim I think it's just
Starting point is 00:09:42 There's so many now We've really stacked them all up Do you know what I'm saying It's gotten too much We've piled it a bit too high And the foundation foundations are weak. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:52 And we knew the foundations were weak and week one but we kept building. We kept putting another level on. What's he building in there? What's he building in there? We built it on sand with terrible untreated timber.
Starting point is 00:10:04 We've built a 34-story building using all the three different types of metal. Which of course are iron. Yes. Steel. Yes. And wood.
Starting point is 00:10:16 The building's too high. The foundation's too weak. the materials are inarguably the best but materials aren't enough all three kinds of metal we've got it all a lot of other buildings are thinking of using a similar makeup the building's coming down though this is my concern like the building's getting very shaky the building's being tested at the moment that's what i felt like a big tremor going through it today the earth shook beneath me shook my beliefs to my core why is the earth shaking because there is a two and a half hour elephant in the room
Starting point is 00:10:54 which I need to engage and deal with on a weekly basis and it's not really an elephant though is it it's traditionally it is ironic that whenever you are in a room with an elephant you aren't allowed to address it because your impulse when you're in a room with an elephant is obviously immediately to be like well I'm going to be honest with you guys this is pretty unusual for me anyone else seeing the elephant like is this just me or are we all on board that and they all know when noticing them but what you know elephants you mean yes of course
Starting point is 00:11:25 they do yeah they're not idiots they're not they're very intelligent highly emotional and they have great memory skills they can use their trunk as a snorkel doesn't make any they can go underwater for a very long time what are you serious do they do that yes like do they have a concept of how to do it themselves yes they are highly intelligent cool um the elephant in the room is always a trunk can pick up a peanut something as small as a peanut That's very dexterous with its trunk. Very strange turn of phrase. The elephant in the room.
Starting point is 00:11:56 If there is an elephant in the room, it's going to be priority once. It almost doesn't matter what else is happening in the room. The room could be on fire and you're still going to go... Yeah, I'd say... Dudes, we need to kind of figure out the situation with the elephant. Depending on the severity of the fire, I would say the elephant is the more immediate...
Starting point is 00:12:10 I don't want to say threat or risk, but it's certainly the first thing I would consider. It's just there. There's no getting around it. A fire you can kind of ignore for a little bit before it starts really kicking up. An elephant, man. You're going to address that.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Anyway, maybe gorilla's a bit of metaphor. This is like a big 250-pound gorilla that's in the room and it's pissed off and it's about to ruin my day and rip my face off. It's just done it. Yeah. And now you're just sitting in the afternoon.
Starting point is 00:12:40 It's interesting, isn't it? Because it's like, we do need to mic ourselves up and do a... Oh, we're going to do a commentary at some point soon anyway. But once we get to... to the end of the film we're both very spent emotionally which I think we've communicated
Starting point is 00:12:54 on the podcast before but there's also a certain level of elation which comes through you like if we were talking to you while the movie was on it would be a horrible mucky mess of depression this podcast I don't know I... Just be sadness
Starting point is 00:13:06 no the first bit I think I generally think that we are good at staying up beating entertaining each other for an hour yeah it's like so sad when we're apart and we've got to watch it separately someone actually uh I can't remember
Starting point is 00:13:19 I should really know their name. A fan sent us a message saying that once we've watched Sex and City 2 for the 36th time, I believe, we will have clocked up more hours with Sex and City 2 than we did with the entirety of grown-ups 2 in the first season. With a mere three dozen watches under our belts, that is... Hey, go us. Or...
Starting point is 00:13:40 Good God. Yeah. That really put it in perspective for me because you're still sitting on another 16 screenings of a movie. That's a lot. Fuck, fuck, that is a lot That's four months worth of movie Man alive
Starting point is 00:13:53 Oh, that's too much I would say Got a lot on your plate Tim There's no way a man As wiry as you It's going to be able to digest all that food Well look If our terrible Rotten foundations on sand
Starting point is 00:14:07 Can hold up a 30 whatever story building Is currently there I've got faith in my own foundations As a human As an individual being That's right And sitting there on the 34th floor of this shaky building
Starting point is 00:14:19 with a book a leather bound book absolutely packed to the gills with thoughts, ideas, etchings and sketchings brimming with entrepreneurial potential
Starting point is 00:14:31 it's Mr Big and it's big book of ideas let's crack it open today see what we're dealing with oh that's a funny drawing look at that it looks to me like a boy but he's got a unicorn horn
Starting point is 00:14:46 on his forehead. One interesting concept. We'll turn the page. We'll flip the page on the one. Oh, look at that one. It's a little girl writing a trike, but she's got rockets attached to the back. It seems a little dangerous for a kid.
Starting point is 00:14:56 I quite like that. Okay. Let's see what else we've got here. Oh, that's a funny joke. It's good. You see how the door works in there. It's more visual than anything. Yeah, sorry, I won't dwell on that one.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Oh, here we go. Okay, here's a fresh page from Big Big Book of Ideas. Jesus Christ. That is unsightly. is that a it looks like some sort of huge industrial scale laboratory
Starting point is 00:15:24 almost like the milking sheds with their milk cows but it's just it's like an aquarium and there are these caged captive octopuses
Starting point is 00:15:34 or octopi I believe is the plural you got it and it would appear that there's some sort of apparatus which is being engaged with the asshole
Starting point is 00:15:44 of the octopus and it's extracting a shit and then fecal matter and then compressing it into the shape of a small diamond it looks to me like Mr Big
Starting point is 00:16:01 on a very large scale is forcing shit from octopae and peddling them across the world in the jewelry markets as black diamonds wow game changing That's a revolution. So is this why he gets Carrie the black diamond ring at the end?
Starting point is 00:16:19 At the end of the film? I would believe so. Spoiler alert everyone. When Carrie cheats on her husband, she gets a diamond out of it, but it's black. It's an octopus shit. But if it's an octopus shit, that makes more sense from a character point of view, because big giving her a diamond makes no sense. But big giving her an octopus shit parading around,
Starting point is 00:16:37 Tridgen horsing, if you will, as a diamond. Hilarious. She shows all their mates. They're all holding their nose going, Oh, isn't it funny that Carrie lost their sense of smell and doesn't realize this is an octopus shit? You don't think that Mr. Biggis figured out how to cover the smell of an octopus shit?
Starting point is 00:16:52 You think that these black diamonds that are being sold still absolutely honk. Yeah, dude, if you heat them up, if there are anything above room temperature, they will smelt a high heaven. You ever smelt an octopus fart before? I have. I can't say have.
Starting point is 00:17:07 I go snorkeling every second weekend, and let me tell you something. It is not a pleasant odour. People tend not to be able to pick up. cup smells in the ocean. Not if you're a fucking rookie diver, bro. If you are a proper diver and you have learned how to breathe through your nose while you're underwater,
Starting point is 00:17:23 then you know all the smells of the ocean. And you're not wearing a mask, which would prevent any smells or gases from being able to... Not if you're a fucking some level beyond noob, bro. If you're a pro diver like me that's getting out on the water every fortnight, then you absolutely don't need a mask. I think pro divers get out in the water more than once every two weeks, Tim. I kicked it back a little bit to fit more things in my life
Starting point is 00:17:45 because diving was taking over. I've got to be honest with you, guy. It was not a good scene. It was not a good scene at all. What was going on down there? I kind of got addicted to the smells. It's so overwhelming and overpowering that you, it's sort of a Pavlovian element to it as well.
Starting point is 00:18:01 You know that if you're in the water, you don't have to deal with the dredge of everyday life. You're like, you're free. And then I started to associate that with the smell. And it just became this whole concoction of getting in the water as soon as I could to just escape it all and I'd spend hours down there guy circular breathing like I learnt from
Starting point is 00:18:17 the Aborigines when I was in Sydney and I'd be down there under the water just smelling all the smells talking to the starfish sparkling conversationalist that they are and every now and then when I'd see a little baby squid or a little octopus there oh wee you know I'd be
Starting point is 00:18:33 cutting a trail in the opposite direction because those things if you're anywhere near them when they blow off that stink takes a while to shower off and you think the smell registers with humans who haven't had intricate and vivid experiences diving with these creatures you think the smell is so it's not like a refined learned smell
Starting point is 00:18:52 as the old saying goes an octopus fart is an octopus fart I call a spade a spade and we've all smelt an octopus fart and it's terrible it's yuck well I mean in which instance this doesn't seem like the most promising
Starting point is 00:19:05 of business ventures for Mr Big on account of the transparency of the fraud I mean If these diamonds smell Under heat This is the beautiful thing about it He's going off selling all these rings
Starting point is 00:19:17 Because he's been so What's the word I'm looking for Burnt? Spurred By his lover Spurnd Spurned? Thank you Spurned by his lover Carrie
Starting point is 00:19:26 His wife She cheated on him That he's kind of taking it out On the whole gender Because guys traditionally Don't buy black diamonds It's more of a thing for woman So he's like
Starting point is 00:19:36 Screw woman And he's selling all these Octopus He's really working through some stuff right now. Yeah. But he's making, as always, a quick buck on the side. I would never accuse Big of making a quick buck on the side.
Starting point is 00:19:48 I would always say that Mr. Big is having a real good, honest go of it. Yeah. The sort of the successes or, you know, I mean, you've got to look at a guy who's throwing shit against the wall every week in the hopes of something taking off and say, this guy obviously doesn't have a lot of business acumen. If none of these ideas have taken the seed, I mean, the guy's floundering. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Yeah, you're right about that guy, Montgomery. No doubt. I just... A squ... A squ... A squ... A squ... Squam...
Starting point is 00:20:24 Squam... Squam... Skr... D... D... Blither. Scrib... Scrib...
Starting point is 00:20:32 A... A... A... Squi! Squit. Skit. Skit! what's he doing
Starting point is 00:20:43 why is he squeakabababin that's the question that we ask every week pretty outside of the box there's a dude in this film and we've had a couple of people talk to us recently and say
Starting point is 00:20:55 hey look watch the movie didn't see coffee guy well guess what he's in there you're not trying hard enough and he's in the background of a shot as well he's in the film for before we watch the movie today to prolong the amount of time
Starting point is 00:21:08 before we had to confront the Untameable Gorilla. We really put it off. We were YouTubeing behind the scenes or outtakes from Sex and the City, too, which... I felt like it's cheating because it was in the universe. It felt kind of like looking at the very, very bottom of the YouTube barrel. Yeah. We struck upon an interview with Chris Knoth and Sarah Jessica Parker, which was recorded,
Starting point is 00:21:34 I guess as part of the press junket for this film. neither of them look particularly stoked to be there and it's unscripted which I think we saw the grown-ups two one of that as well if I'm not mistaken one day when we were trying to avoid watching that we probably were in the exact same situation and it's them kind of interviewing each other
Starting point is 00:21:53 and they get user-submitted questions to chat about and stuff and I tell you what not a fun pairing to listen to unscripted I didn't think I yeah your experience of sex 62 probably coloured your opinion of
Starting point is 00:22:07 the back and forth. Don't you try and defend them. Chris Noth is a bit of a dullard. I was doing, I was doing a, um, I was in a wee when you were watching the beginning of it. So I just came in on the tail end of it. Well, I'll give you a heads up. Chris Noth, a bore.
Starting point is 00:22:23 Not interesting. Doesn't know how to engage with people in an interview setting? That's not relevant because another one of the videos we watched was the, uh, that we were watching the shooting, the raw footage of the cafe scene being shot and which coffee guys stars. Uh, and we became very excited. excited at the prospect of seeing him, maybe even break character, which I don't know as possible, because as we, you know, as we understand, it's a sort of a character piece.
Starting point is 00:22:45 I just wanted more of him because it's like, if I could find a single additional frame to the 11 seconds of footage we have of him right now, like I'd be happy. I'd be very happy indeed. A little more context to this complex-layered character. But in terms of what the guy was going to do with all of his Java-based energy, I mean, where exactly was that? I mean, he had a real pepp in his step. He had rockets in his shoes.
Starting point is 00:23:11 The man was moving at such a case. He did. His father was an inventor, wasn't he? Was he? Of course he was. And as a child, coffee guy watched a lot of Inspector Gadget and he just couldn't get enough of those contraptions that were built into pieces of Inspector Gadget's body.
Starting point is 00:23:25 That was what really tickled him. Like a big old propeller coming out of a hat and rockets and shoes, you know? That was what he was a fan of. He actually, the advertising campaign for the first pair of rocket shoes was set to the tune of buckets of rain, I think, by Bob Dylan. He's got Rockets and Shoes, Rockets and Shoes, The Rockets, Bought him in Shoes.
Starting point is 00:23:48 I mean, it wasn't a great song, but it's certainly... It sold the fucking shoes. Well, I mean, I think the lawsuit, when Bob Dylan sued him, that was really what put it on the advertising map, so to speak. Which is called the Barbara Streisand effect, if anyone wants to Google that, when you try and sue someone to stop attention being drawn, to you, which inevitably draws much more attention to you.
Starting point is 00:24:09 It is correct. Now, what you've got to know about Coffee Guy's inventor father is that he was one of the first American fans of the anime series Astro Boy, and I'm not talking about the new post-film Astro Boy. I'm talking about OG Astro Boy. That would make a lot of sense in the timeline of this fable. He obviously, you know, he wasn't watching Astro Boy in the post-movie. Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:34 Correct, because as we know, that Java-loving man's father is not with us. Father Java. For a long time. Father Java did a lot of trips to nip on. He actually served in the war during the latter years. He was quite young to be in the army, but, you know, 19 years old, so definitely of age to serve. Ended up falling in love with a young sushi waitress at a local restaurant when he was stationed in Japan. fell in love they had a child
Starting point is 00:25:04 he nipped back to America and would periodically come back to his former lover and fell in love with the culture fell in love with the food, the music the artifacts that were around and really took a liking to Japanese style cartoons and animation
Starting point is 00:25:19 and he was the one who basically started the manga movement in America he brought Astro Boy over initially and I think the world's better for it if I'm being brutally honest I think we've all reached the rewards.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Undoubtedly, unenobly, but you can imagine as the child of such a adventurous, revered and respected figure, I mean, it's a lot to live up to, it's a lot of pressure. Father Java set that bar high. And he also made Java Jr. very aware that he had very high expectations of his boy. He told him that he was not to be given anything
Starting point is 00:25:55 that all of the work he had done was for him and if Java boy was to make a name for himself he was going to have to go about it of his own accord the only gift he left to him in the will as he passed away was one set of size 11 rocket shoes of course
Starting point is 00:26:12 at the time Java Boy was so overcome with grief he put them away in a box and sort of forgot about them until one fateful day in the year 2008 or 10 whenever the film was made 10 10 10
Starting point is 00:26:27 It was 10 He opened the box He saw the shoes He went for a coffee So overcome with the motion he was Well he was trying to make this fateful decision Whether or not to put the rocket shoes on That there was only one way that he could settle his mind
Starting point is 00:26:44 And that was to sit down at his favourite cafe And absolutely smash the ever-loving fuck Out of a cup of Joe A hot, steaming, lovely pile of Java That's right And the drinking technique that you do see in the film is one that he learned from his father. Some historians argue that the spirit of Father Java
Starting point is 00:27:05 actually overtook Java Boy in that moment and the two souls did meet essentially forming one sort of entity. Which of course is why we see coffee guy run off as he does. He feels the spirit starting to enter him and he realizes that he needs to get to a slightly more sacrosanct setting. That's right. He also realizes he was wearing the rocket shoes the whole time.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Sort of, you know, one of those, the rocket shoes are inside you type discoveries. And that is why, if you look closely, you can see his, as you pointed out to him, visibly, he's got rockets on us. A lot of Wizard of Oz references in this film scattered throughout. Coffee Guy's just one of the more obvious examples. But also, Carrie very subtly weaves in the line. I don't think we're in Kansas anymore. Very subtly. Did you know that?
Starting point is 00:27:53 Blinkin' you miss it style lines. Do you know that is from the movie? The Wizard of Oz. Did you realize that? No, I didn't. Like, we all know about coffee guys' rocket shoes. The rocket shoes were always inside you. We're all, you know, this is fucking right there.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Hatsy over the head. But did you realize that? I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto, is from a book that was then made into a film. I'm not a historian, and I'm not a nerd, Tim. So that has escaped my attention. This is the beauty. This is the genius of Michael Patrick King.
Starting point is 00:28:20 He just... MKP, Michael Patrick King. These little literary breadcrums for you to just gobble up. And sometimes you get him. and sometimes you're not learned enough yet to get him. So that's why you've got to keep watching the movie every week to see if you are gaining more cultural references and touch stones. And if you're not sure that you're going to get it,
Starting point is 00:28:35 it helps to buddy up as I have done here with my partner, Tim. It's a buddy system, everyone. Jump in the pool, the water's fine. We're on the back of a horse this week. We're doing a separate activity while we record the podcast. I mean, this is the meaning of friendship. When's the last time you did two activities at once? Presumably never.
Starting point is 00:28:52 When was the last time you shed a horse with a man? A horse and a film. if the answer is longer than the previous six months take the headphones out look in the yellow pages find a company which provides that exact service and get involved because frankly you disgust me yeah real friendship's what it's all about that's what guys
Starting point is 00:29:10 trying to communicate there um it's very important very important uh so look a shining light I'm going to go with Samantha's shorts in the scene when she's in the marketplace making a right goose of herself and about to get chased down by a bunch of local men who were very perturbed by her outcries and her waving around condoms
Starting point is 00:29:31 and screaming at people, I have sex. I like her shorts that she's wearing. They're cool. You know, yellow. You know, Tim, you literally plucked this shining light
Starting point is 00:29:44 just from, it was a sort of say-what-you-see situation. I know for a fact, because we were nearly at the end of the film and I said out loud, I was focusing very intently and you tried to say something to me, and I said,
Starting point is 00:29:54 I'm trying to say something to me, and I said, find a shining light and I feel like in that moment the trigger in your mind went off was like oh shit we're running out of time I'd also better have a hunt and I feel like that you saw that how dare you said it out loud you remembered it to yourself just so that you could claim it and I respect to God give a crap out of you for it because I am drawing absolute blanks so reductive your attitude toward my shining light it was legitimately my favorite part of the film this week and for you sir My shining light.
Starting point is 00:30:29 Shut your eyes and think, Montgomery. Oh, you know what? I don't, I... You probably can't help me on this. My shining light this week, and forgive me if you've heard it before, very near the start of the film, when the girls walk into Bergdorf Goodman
Starting point is 00:30:44 to do a great piece of exposition and explaining that the two sworn enemies from the television show, Sex and City, put the differences aside and are getting married. There's a man in the background of the what's it sort of the till or the count hill at which they're being served and he's on the phone
Starting point is 00:31:03 and he's on the phone every week every week this guy this character comes back into the film and he's not essential but he comes back and he's on the blower and he's looking pretty much he's barreling the camera he's looking right through it and he's I like to think week in week out this guy is toiling away and he's reporting in to some higher being
Starting point is 00:31:20 presumably Michael Patrick King and saying yes yes there has the boys are back they're watching it again don't worry everyone everything's going completely to plan they're here that's exactly right and it is that moment it happens very early in the film but every
Starting point is 00:31:37 week you definitely have used this one before I cannot look you also were waving in guests as I was explaining it which is a very distracting I dispatched friends to get me pizza here and now it's here so I'm going to put a pin in this gladly you're a real piece of shit Timbett
Starting point is 00:31:52 I realize that and uh Let's all take that on and for the next seven days till next we meet. I love you all sincerely and dearly. Please communicate with us online and for the love of holy God, find yourself a calmer colder and just buy it. Buy many. Put them in a bathtub and soak in it. Drink it in in, folks.
Starting point is 00:32:13 It's good stuff. That'll do, Pig. That'll do. It's the worst idea of all time. It's the worst idea of all time. Worst idea of all time. Season two.
