Hello listeners, this is Mike Corey of Against the Odds. You might know that I adventure around the world while recording this podcast. And over the years, I've learned that where I stay when I travel can make all the difference. Airbnb has been my go-to place for finding the perfect accommodations. Because with hotels, you often don't have the luxury of extra space or privacy. Recently, I had a bunch of friends come down to visit in Mexico. We found this large house and the place had a pool, a barbecue, a kitchen, and a great big living room to play cards, watch movies, and just chill out. It honestly made all the difference

in the trip. It felt like we were all roommates again. The next time you're planning a trip, whether it's with friends, family, or yourself, check out Airbnb to find something you won't forget.

This is number four for us. I think this is number four, right? I think the first one we started the first one we did was The Netflix holiday then we did I think the first one we started, the first one we did was, holiday the Netflix, holiday, then we did, I think the one with the Pioneer Woman which came into peppermint, et cetera, there was a peppermint issue in a town.

And then last year was the Lindsay Lohan one. And then this one is this year, we are recapping the seminal cinematic masterpiece known as Ladies of the 80s, Colin Adiva's Christmas. Colon, yeah. That's if Jake wrote it. It would be called Ladies of the 80s colon.

Colon. It's like a paper you write in grad school. They all need colon. There's a title and then a subtitle. True. True. And I don't really think that we should just be calling it ladies of the 80s without doing this.

Oh, God. ["I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80s, I'm the 80 I wrote down all the lyrics. You guys have what a song. I have a minute by minute. I mean that's so sad, isn't it? They have it. We're just living by the minute. So what I really like about this theme song, first of all, I woke up with it in my head. That was the observation I've been getting to say since we got together in this room here. I've been singing this

head, the songs since I woke up. But it also reminds me of Alvin that ship monks because it sort of has that kind of generic Saturday morning cartoon, like lyrics, right? Because I think that one of the lyrics is, we where the ladies of the 80s and they're puttin' on a show. Yes, that is one of the lyrics. It's very like watch out here we come, like we're the chipmunks, you know? Oh! Oh! Are you gonna write the lyrics down? Uh, sure did, let me, I'll get them up. Thank God. Okay, so just real quick, so these, these, this is a crossover episode, reality game, lots of crap and we're talking about a Christmas movie. So welcome to Christmas week

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas We're on vacation right now I thought we did this earlier for y'all That way when you're dealing with your mother-in-law or your family or even if you hate your children Whatever you can just listen to us instead and have a better time going going your back room with your pet Because they're the only want to understand you at this time of year. Yes, and whoever you like best,

between watching crap and so reality gays, we'll have a contest. I'm just kidding. Whoever you want to, just go to our Patreon. Undergain. It's available as a video. These are all videos through our Patreon.

Yes. And also audio. So we'll be coming at you all week. We never know how long these are gonna go. We warn you now. They're offensive. Oh, love it. Love the event. They're me entering and they're not gonna make much sense. And we talk over each other a lot.

So all the listeners out there, thank you for being with us. Good fucking luck. Let's get to some lyrics. Shall we? It's like Christmas dinner at your house. We, people talking over each other. Yes, exactly.

So as previously stated, so we are recapping the lifetime movie, Ladies of the 80s, Adivas Christmas, and there is this wonderful musical montage right in the middle, which really should, this music should have been right at the top of the totally agree. So it's a song, the lyrics, the full lyrics, it actually, there are actually some verses and the lyrics are, the passes in their

rearview mirror tonight, living like the best is still to come, groups back together and they know what they like because ladies just want to have fun. Sassy when they talk, sexy when they walk, they're younger than they've ever been, which is actually impossible. Let's just stop from them. They're gone up. Wait, hold on, pause. I just, we need to analyze what's going on here.

First of all, no one is younger than they've ever been. That's just more impossible. Like, that's just more impossible. Also, Sassy, when they talk, the problem with this film is they weren't very Sassy. They weren't. They were just kind of like, good to see you. They're like, these ladies are gonna have some big trouble

and they're like, good to see you. I'm eating pretzels. I know they're with the morning. What? That was over-promised for me. There was the over-promising assassiness and fighting was such a disappointment for me. It was not fair.

Yeah, I didn't really understand the vibe of this movie. So either way, but they're younger than they've ever been. And they're going to strike a pose so everyone knows Divas making history They're the ladies of the eighties Living at large Minin' by minin' They're the ladies of the eighties

It's their world and we're just living in it and then the best part And we're just living in it and then the best part And they're putting up strings of popcorn Yes, all eyes on the no matter where they go for the ladies of the eighties Oh, it's putting on a show Okay, man,'m mad. Like, you're not doing anything. We were all texting each other about like what a jam this song was and then Matt was like I can't believe they didn't give credit to Katie Oslin for her song 80s ladies. So then he sends us this music video of 80s ladies. This is how these lyrics began. We were three little girls from school. One was pretty, one was smart, one was a borderline fool.

I'm like, this is cute, ladies from the other hair is gonna get bigger and smaller and they're gonna get for, they get old and one of them dies, spoiler alert. Why would you send that to me? That's, and spoiler, KT Oslin died of cancer recently. Oh, COVID, COVID, is he died of COVID? He died of COVID during the thing. Yes. Oh my gosh, bless our heart.

But that that music video, I'm, you know, a country queen. That music video is like a part of every gay boy who loved country music in the 80s experience. Because it's it actually leaned into the drag queen where I feel like this movie hinted at drag like literally this slap montage is just taken from RuPaul's drive. This is a challenge in RuPaul's drag race. Is it really? Yes, they have a slap challenge. Remember that without the camp factor. But without the camp, yeah. Yeah. I, that was the one moment of this movie

that I truly enjoyed. I was like, I thought when there was like a double, the Morgan Fairchild does a double slap, I was like, I actually laughed and I was like, oh my god, this looks like a could be a funny movie. I'm just gonna say this right now of the four movies that we have recapped for our holiday acceptance., and so this was by far the very worst. This was the worst.

I've never seen, okay, these movies in general, the genre is like, they're terrible movies. That's like part of the fun of it. But this was like, beyond terrible. I've never seen a movie with such low stakes. There were no stakes. Did I? You did on all the talent,

because the lighting was terrible. The camera work was terrible I don't know where they got this woman who played the on Janu. Okay, we're gonna have a lot I have a lot to say about her I have a lot I have a lot of questions about her backstory Yeah, yes and his backstory that make no fucking sense to me Yeah story that make no fucking sense to me. Yeah. Yeah. Also, like, how do you have a holiday movie set in Los Angeles that never has the obvious moment where, like, I can't believe it's actually snowing on Christmas in Los Angeles?

They don't even bother having fake snow come down in their movie. It just doesn't even start with that. Yeah. I don't go ahead. I don't even know what the what the show, what the series, the movie within a movie or episode with an episode was about. I don't think it was important to them. I know. I was created it for the women to fight and they didn't really fight. They didn't fight. Okay. Here's what I was telling them. I ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha They're all on a soap opera together. They have to work together, but they really hate each other. How is this gonna work? This should have been hilarious.

And then the guys they hired are great. They're golden girls' riders for fuck's sake. You know, I looked them up. And so it should have been like that. I think they turned in the script and then lifetime. And yes, I am blaming your asses. Because you guys think it's okay from every movie to be about women being chased

down by Rob Lowe and stabbed to death or whatever. Oh God. God forbid you have some women get bitchy with each other because I know that lifetime had a damn meeting where they were like you can't have them be mean to each other. People watch lifetime for good feelings. No they don't. They walk it for they watch it for terror. I have a mother.

I have pitch. I have a mother. I had pitched to my mother. I got to say, to validate you, I had pitched to lifetime and literally was told that. Wow. Yes, yes, they need so long. We don't want anything to mean. And I went, whoa. Christmas.

I have to say, you know what, in some ways, this movie felt like it was a script that the writer pulled off the shelf and was like, let me adapt this to be ways this movie felt like it was a script that the writer pulled off the shelf and was like, let me adapt this to be a holiday movie. Like it was originally supposed to be something about a soap star swimming back together, maybe like a pilot, and instead it's like, oh, let me repurpose this to make it into a holiday movie

because the holiday stuff was so wedged in there. Like it was really not about the holidays at all. Like they, they're like, oh, maybe we should have a little bit more full-sider. The holiday stuff was so wedged in there. Like it was really not about the holidays at all. Like they, they're like, oh, maybe we should have a little bit of a full cider. What's your first note, Jake? That was my first note was, it seems like this was repurposed for like Mother's Day.

Or it was like, or is about another, another, or just about a soap, like them getting together. And the Christmas aspect of it was kind of like, I was like the icing was glazed on. Right. Well, just put a cone on it for a couple of weeks because this dog's been neutered. Okay.

I will. I also, I realized, I don't know this is appropriate to say it, not, but in this day and age, I haven't watched a movie that's made in 2023 that had just white people because this movie is true. I was thinking that was nobody from the audience you could have chosen that wasn't blonde and I mean, the only minority in this was fucking what's her both with the darker hair. They had a Hollywood tonight reporter and he was stealing. Okay, he was in.

And I'm not a daughter. Don Emil's daughter. I love Scott Evans. I fanned him once in West Hollywood. He is your thing in the wrong Scott Evans, sweetie. No, that's his name. Scott. His name is Scott.

You know, can I tell you something? Scott Evans of of this movie. He once followed me on Instagram, and I was very excited, and then he stopped following me and I was very sad. Yeah, yeah, I was like, wow, my content is bad, is that bad that Scott Evans unfollowed me. I'm not talking about Scott Evans, Chris Evans' brother.

No, we're talking about Scott Evans. Scott Evans, and then in this movie from, I was saying too, like like because I wrote it in my thing like, where's Jack K in this movie? Exactly. Where's Jack K or you know? Like Ann Marie Horn's Ferd or. Oh my god. Can I rehearse Ferd? Or like, there's like just any number of people that they could have chosen, but Jack K would have been actually a wonderful. She would make it. I needed some, I think this movie felt sterilized.

Maria, Kanchita, Alonzo. It just needed to be hard on me. It needed like, Jo. I mean, Charo, I'll just put Charo in anything at this point. I don't even know if that goes with the casting, but like, I just, I follow her Instagram and she's amazing. I mean, this, this also may speak to also the diversity issue of like the night, the evening soaps of the 80s too, right?

That's true. Yeah, that is true. But it's not like there was no but, I mean, to just be like, well, that was the 80s. There weren't black people then. I mean, what the hell? I'm not saying you're saying that, but I'm saying that. No, I know. I'm not.

I'm not. But I ain't care of that. I was gonna say Diane Carroll. Yeah, Diane Carroll, yeah. No. That was the was a thing well Jake just I'm stated What about Diane Krueger

You prefer a love great Dan Krueger is still with us. She's gonna do the ladies of the Ladies of Germany Don't talk about me like I'm not here. We're the ladies'm Germany. I believe that celebrate Christmas unless we want to I am very blunt Yeah, oh, it's okay. And help me remind me so Monty Anderson was WKRP, right? Yes, okay Or even better she was the one with Linda Carter your other favorite where they were detectives for a year remember and they're like Oh my god Let's sneak into that rich person's apartment. And then he would close the door and they put the credit card

in. I remember that. Oh, yeah. I love that show. Um, it was. I remember the, I remember that detective one, which was, yeah. By the way, also, Carter Dick Rine. Carter Dick Rine.

Carter Dick Rine. Carter Dick Rine. Carter Dick Rine. Carter Dick Rine. Carter Dick Rine. Carter Dick Rine. Carter Dick Rine. Carter Dick Rine. Carter Dick Rine. Carter Dick Rine. I think Ryan is the best television show. Only a season as I recall, but God wanted to show. I remember that she was an investigator. You know, I made it for I was one of the best television shows.

11 years old. Yeah. I was 11 years old, guys. Just think back. Me looking just like this exactly the same with hair. And basically everything else is exactly the same. Okay, I just wanted to do the picture of that, Kerry. I picture that.

So, okay, so, Monty Anderson, Morgan Fairchild, how is Morgan Fairchild famous? I forget when she was on. Which was on, was she on Dynastie? Not landing, either not landing, fell on Crest Dynastie or Dallas. I'm seeing that. She was also like, she's been bombs on like,

things like Melrose Place and like, she's been around. She's, she's arguably, yeah, she was also like, she's been bombs on like things like Melrose place and like she's been around. She's arguably, yeah, she's arguably one of the first people who's had like the biggest career after this. I would say. Yes. Yes, she has worked and I think that actually she once was in a TV movie that I loved. It was called, it was like a parody of TV movies. I think it was like, was a film. Talking crazy about it.

Okay, thank you. So Morgan Fairchild was on some TV, it was like for fucks or something, and it was something like stay tuned, or I don't remember what it was called, but I absolutely loved it. And I once went to a taping of that 80s show out here. Do you remember that?

Oh yeah, it was a little, oh, how long was that on? Like five episodes, yeah. It was a spin off of. How long was that on? Like, five episodes. And I went to a taping out of it. I think partners in crime actually outlasted that one. Would you? It probably did. And Morgan Fairchild was a guest star on that 80s show.

And so she came into the audience to take questions. And I asked her, I was like, I just like asked her something like, whatever happened to that TV movie, it was great. And she was just very active. She was, ah, yes, yes, yes. That was a wonderful TV movie. We had a wonderful time doing that. Thank you so much for the question.

Okay, who's next? She doesn't agree at all. She doesn't remember it at all. It's wonderful, wonderful day. Wonderful day. Wonderful way of filming. Pretty good in this movie. Okay, then there's Linda Gray.

She was good. I was gonna say, she's the best at acting. Donna Mose, I think, did great too. Donna Mills came in with kind of a weird accent. Okay. I'm not really sure, but more in both. I had issues with lots of the, I think some of it was dental work.

Donna Mills kind of had a Jodie Foster thing go in the whole. Like and some like I really thought it was Ann Margaret at first. I'm not a great guy. Yeah, it was big. I am Margaret. I'm really her eyeshadow is so terrible. Like they actually like it actually looks like

when I used to do, cause when Jake and Walt Ronnie too, can like when I used to do opera and college and the way people, you know how someone a community theater or an opera would do their makeup. So heavy handed for an audience of 200 because they're doing opera. They like to put space.

Yes, yes. Oh, remember the aging makeup, that's my favorite. When I was holding my makeup. I took an eyeliner and they put like the lines on their face. Oh, no. And apparently she wants to make her eyes closer together and do a crease so they literally just like the makeup,

the artist didn't even blend. They just drew like blocks of my body. You know what's this thing? The animation, like it almost made her look animated. Here's the thing, we're not, we're just seeming her, we're seeming to make up person. Oh, yes. We're not just shaming her, we're shaming the makeup person. Oh, yes. We're supposed to make this better. Because did you know Donna Mills is 82 years old? This is nuts. That is she looks,

I mean, listen, they all look amazing, you know, so no one's going to be coming for anybody's looks. We're just saying like the TV makeup, like if you're going to get all they basically just rented an Airbnb and put a bunch of people on there and they're literally we're like let's just make it up even the main guy the young guy the young person didn't have a script who was writing it as they went like how does that I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna live a live event with no script it It's time for commercial. It's time for a crapance commercial.

It's almost that magical time of year. Speaking of, what's your favorite Christmas story, Ben? Hands down, the Grinch. Same! It cracks me up that he hates all the marimons. Right, and he steals everyone's presents. But then it's like so heartwarming at the end when the whole town is still singing and he realizes that there's more Christmas than just gifts. Oh, I know it.

It hits me right in the fields. Best part is, Wondry has a new podcast starring The Grinch, and I think there's someone who wants to tell you more about it, Ronnie. Hi, it's me, the Grand Puba of Bahambad, the OG Green Grump, The Grinch. From Wondery, Tis the Grinch Holiday Talk Show is a pathetic attempt by the people of Ruvil to use my situation as a teachable movement. So join me, the Grinch! Listen as I launch a campaign against Christmas cheer, grilling celebrity guests, like chestnuts on an open fire! Your family will love the show! As you know, I'm famously great with kids. Follow Tis the Grinch Holiday Talk Show on on the wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts

It was there a lot of great look best and she's the one you can tell who hasn't had any work. She has that You Even if she was like she was recently in nope I was like well look at you being in an actual big movie. She's my favorite of all, because just because I love Dallas so much, because I used to watch it with my mom and my aunt. Well, she was also great in this.

I think all the ladies were pretty good in it. I mean, Linda Gray was really funny. I don't remember Linda Gray being that great before. I just remember her being kind of boring. I don't know why, maybe because she was all the time. I think Lonnie Anderson has some challenges, I think with some being kind of boring. I don't know why maybe she was all the time. Lani Anderson has some challenges, I think with some of her line-mates. Excuse me, I don't wanna give away a spoiler,

but what she did at the end was Brey-Furry. Okay, purple. That was one of the funniest fucking things I had to pause it and run around the room. It's gonna happen. Okay, wait, may I circle back to something? I mentioned that Morgan Fairchild. I saw her in this TV movie.

I've looked it up. The movie was called based on an untrue story and this is the plot description. Okay. Perfume creator, Satin Chao. That is her. I'm done. I'm already in the kitchen.

I'm done. I'm done. Morgan Fairchild. Morgan Fairchild. Morgan Fairchild plays Satin Chow. So perfume creator Satin Chow is about to reveal her new designer scent, Puppy, when she is cruelly struck down by a rare condition called Anosmia, which robs her up her sense of smell and could even kill her with time fast running out.

She begins a frantic search for the only people who can provide the tissue donations she desperately needs. Her long-lost sistersuroy and the lore. Oh! This is... Okay, this is a paradise. And the other people in this movie are Ricky Lake, Victoria Jackson, Diane Cannon, Dan Hadea.

Like, you can see you as a young gay child while this was a very important movie for me. Yes. Oh, I would watch this, Diane Cannon boy. Yeah, I love she had to get a tissue replacement for her nose for a movie that took place in the 80s, like blatant co-coding show. And I don't think you're allowed to name yourself Chow. Why, Juan Blaney. I mean, what the hell? I think that was, no, I think that was more. No, I think that, I think she was like, like she had married into the Chow name.

I think if I remember correctly. Or is it spelled because it's a puppy thing. So is it spelled C H O W, puppy Chow, right? That's how I'm, yes. C H O W I can't. Yes, oh my gosh. She was adopted. And then there was like a boy toy in their name crack. It was good. I was

this crack. Well, we visit that another TV movies TV movies actually were really like fundamental for me like lifetime're so like titles like she cried no a woman a woman's burden Meredith Baxter Bernie I think she's now just Meredith Baxter living her lesbian life. Well that was always the thing right that was when you referred to a lifetime movie it's always like what is Meredith Baxter Bernie in this I mean Meredith backster Bernie was in hundreds of I'm fucking goddess. I mean unbelievable. Yeah, if I was friends with her and there was a text tone It would just be for drunk or whatever it whatever that sound is of punching in on the punch in clock Just that

I'm here with whom I'd be in Chase by today Tom What is it is it Belemia today? Do I need to start a fire? Oh, God, I'm supposed to run from a person wall. I've got Belemia. Come on, guys, you're throwing a lot at me today. All right. The better you brought the better you broadric movies are,

are like at a class of their own. Yeah, fantastic. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Those are really good. There was a period of time. I don't know if it was like NBC or if it was Fox or something, but there was a period of time where on Friday nights one of the networks was airing these

like very kitschy kind of like romance novel TV movies and I loved them. Do you remember those? There was one called the Secrets of Lake Success. That sounds so familiar, but I can't remember which one of the big three were doing it, but. Well, this one's called the Great Lakes, this soap opera. So that's interesting. So maybe they're all going to the next. Did they reference that?

I think though, like those movies back then, there was a lot of camp, but also, and I think what this movie missed is, those movies played it seriously. Are they played it, they try to play it? Yeah, they took it seriously, even though they knew it was camp, because that is camp, is that the actors think it's almost serious. And this, like literally the winking at the camera are mugging to them, like breaking the fourth wall.

The little glockenspiel that happened. Yeah, it just, I felt like this movie would have worked so much better if we, I don't know, believe it. It needed more camp. Yes, it's right to be camped, but it needed more of, it needed more of the camp. It needed, well, you know, it's more camped.

It needed a lot of, it also needed like a proper script. Let's be honest. We'll need a bit of a mess. I mean, you can get away with a lot, but if you just give us some bichiness, that's what we're watching it for. We all want to see these divas like being bichy with each other

and dissing each other and they wouldn't diss each other. Who cast Nicolette Serranon to be a kind person? I've never, I want to meet the fucking person in Hollywood. She was the heart of gold one. Yeah. Nicolette Serranon? She's like, No. She's like, He came famous for playing a Sydney Sheldon Vixen

and it just went completely crazy from there. I mean, that's how so I was probably her most recent huge thing. But come on, don't give me Nicolette and then make her nice. Nicolette felt actually a little bit like an outlier in this cast. It's not for the fact that she's, I think she is actually younger. I feel like the vibe of this movie was, look at these actresses that are more or less

like out of the rotation. And it's not like Nicolette is doing a huge amount of stuff. But I don't know, I feel like, even though I guess desperate housewives is coming in on 20 years ago at this point, but it feels like it's just yesterday. I feel like Nicolette is like not. She's out of there.

She's a different league. It seems like Nicoletta is like not. She's out of there. She's just moving. She's a different league. It seems like she's had a career-wise. She's had seems like a bigger career after her soap, her soap career. Yeah, I feel like it was, that was a role that like maybe we could have given. Well, that would have been a Kimfield's or Jack Hayer role.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you know, I Yeah, it I'm speaking very seriously. Oh, God. We were very I know we're taking this very seriously But I think it's Aaron O'Connell been that's what it needed Aaron O'Connell. They really did I from whatever can we can we just talk about I think one of the main issues here It may have just come from the network or something is they kept saying we need more of the main issues here, it may have just come from the network or something is they kept saying, we need more of the two, the romantic young people to get together. So we need more of that. And so they said, so we're going to help these, the ladies are going to get them together.

But like that's truly what kind of destroyed the momentum of the story and yeah and and it just every time we go back to them i'm like uh... well also you what didn't destroy this movie in any way leg day because that guy but he was naked typing i thought that was the best that was the best part of the the best movie That was the best part of the movie. The best thing to be had is that it was not just a little, it was gratuitous shirtlessness. Yeah, from him. And like, yes, that's

why it goes on. Yeah, at least like they did that because you know, speaking of Aaron O'Connor, or the other movie, there's like a quick scene where the shirts off, they walk into a room, but then they put the shirt on. This guy is just, this was bravery, if you ask me, how's there been anything less sexy than sexy typing, shirtless typing at a laptop? Also, honestly, fairly inappropriate. You were at work, sir.

You got yourself to underwear. I think you're violation. And you call a woman into your office whose name is Nell. I don't know where they got the name of fucking Nell. Hey, Nell. Hey, Nell. Nell.

Hey, Nell. Yeah. Can we not with Nell? I was thinking the same thing. I was like, and there's another reference like Nell Carter. I mean, granted, they couldn't have cast Nell Carter. You know, she is. No, she is.

But still. But now, give me a break. Loved herself. I would see her as Miss Hanigan and Annie. That's a good. That's a really eerily accurate no card. I heard she was fantastic in that. She was, she was pretty good. She was, they were having to RIP.

I'm so sorry to tell these stories, but we are telling old Eva stories. They were having to like check her room allegedly back then for like coke and stuff. Like she was a mess while she was doing her I believe but she was still So good. I mean I grew up listening in the same time period of all these ladies I grew up listening to a misbehaving obviously. I love it and the hair sound track from the movie the movie soundtrack Oh, she was in that lead in that. Yeah, she's like the lead ensemble chicken that she sings everything Wow, God, I love you anyway, but Jody Foster now, you know, she couldn't really pull off him.

It's behavior and I don't want her in this movie either. Jody Foster. I do like to think of this though as like, okay, like the unofficial sequel to the movie now, which I never saw, but like I know it was like, the Jody Foster was a woman who was like raised, like raising the woods and has like no exception. By trees.

Yeah. And it's like, okay, now she's been rehabilitated in civilization and she's directing a soap reunion. I thought for me, I kept blinking and seeing Evan Rachel would, like the whole time and I did look at this woman and that's what kind of got me. And that's why I kept thinking to the beginning. There's a fly crawling on your eyeball. Yes She was more interesting than she actually was and turns out this woman was a child star who was in this Taylor and Thompson

She was in like lots of little she was in that movie the bucket list with Jack Nicholson. That was her big role But the rest of the woman yeah the rest of it has been her as a child and that she had like two or three other lifetime Movie credits so they took a they took a big swing on this woman. I think so You know I have to say I did not see the Evan Rachel Wood until she took the hat off because then she was like a whole new person and then I was okay Now I see it now I see yeah, and she's not like other girls because she got purple hair And we know we know that what does purple hair says you know hey that back home where I'm from it is It's a big did you hear about Lynette she got purple hair. Oh my god

I hope she's not doing drugs, darling. She's like a lady of the 80s, but not a show. It is a big deal. Living minute by minute. And is it hot guy do anything? I don't think he did anything. Because everybody, like, I didn't look him up. He was so boring.

He's like a model. He's like a star. Yeah, there you go. And a Australian actor, soap, person, you know. Did you have an accent in the first, the movie, and did it go away as well? No, it was, he had the accent all the way through. Why, if he's Australian, what's the choice to be British?

Cause women love British men, they think. But why would he not be American? It is weird, he does play the son of, it's interesting that they that he was his character. He was supposed to be British. He started off sounding British. It started off sounding British, but by the end he was definitely Australian. Yeah, and I don't know.

He's just so bad. I kind of all, I just kind of mesh. I mean, below deck has really killed me. I just, I don't know where anybody's from anymore. I'm just like a lucky charm, you know, asking for alms in all of her twists. Like, you don't, I just love to go all together. You don't talk to me. I have the idea that Ronnie, you see people.

I love the idea that the soap opera, when it was in its heyday, it was like, we need to cast a child for this show. Let's cast an Australian child. That's what I was thinking. That's the exact sense. Yeah, just the work violation issues of having to have an Australian child over here and like to have school and

Then he decides to go to American college and meets this again I have we can probably get in this later. I've so many questions about these two people's backstory. Yes, and He should have a twin brother by the way I think we all know he should have a twin brother because like the rule of like child actors in Hollywood is Yes, you have for so long so you got to swap in that twin. That's true. They should have a twin They did you notice that the guy that played limit Linda Hamilton's husband? I'm the great Linda Grace Chris. I'm sorry. I'm not gonna also great choice. He's from the boy. He's from the blue lagoon. The blue lagoon. Yes. He was part of my

I thought it was the blonde god that played you thought he looked like an alternate David Chokichi. Yeah Yeah, but a little more cat-faced blue lagoon. That was part of my sexual awakening He has not broke shields when that no no Not broke. I think I think that's very bad, Matt, because didn't Brook Shields come out and say that was totally it was being exploited instead of a plot. I will say, I was too young. I never saw it, but I did see the secrets of Lake Success as previously mentioned, and guess who was in the secrets of Lake Success? Ryan Philippi.

Oh! Is that guy still hot? Let's hook him up. Let me tell you who's hot. Oh yeah Travis Burns, the guy that you were like, oh he's just a monotone, he's whatever, he's so basic. Yeah, if that's basic, I'll fucking buy stock in that shit. Who sells basic?

I love him, he's so cute. I don't even care about you. He was cute. I don't care about missing leg day, I don't do leg day either. Or upper day. Maybe he't even care about your he was care about missing like they I'm too like they either or upper Day maybe just I just thought he was boring as an actor. I think he's very How he had a perfect nose. I loved his nose He's like a hot versus Henn Badgley I feel like I feel like he he like it's like like the promise of Penn Badgley is finally realized Promise I always I always had a thing for pin badge Lee most of the

big Dan Dan what's this I hated Dan? Dan I'm gossip girl. Oh god. So righteous. I like them. I like them like poetic and like brainy and dreamy. But that's what happened to me. I looked him up because I watched all of you, you know, that's at you. To start where he's a stalker. And it just says, you, I'm watching you. I'm watching you walk

into a store. And then they kind of make him like this romantic charming fucking starter. It was one of those shows that I watched. And watched the first season and I couldn't stop and by the end of it I kind of hated myself, but I had to finish it. I had to finish it if there's another season I will watch it. It's coming together making another season because that's your type of man Yeah, you kind of kind of choke me and look at me in the eyes while you're doing it and if you murder me That's what happens. Jake wants to get right to the edge. He wants to feel just a little unsafe. Yeah, as long as I can fully be still cute.

Pop the moosh. Yeah. We're not fully based on it. We're not fully based on it. And he still makes me feel unsafe. So let's go get him, Jake. Have you seen him, Jake? His son, his son is a carbon copy of him.

Yes, and we've never started the movie within the first episode of a cover. And we are kind of at the end of this one.
