Starting point is 00:02:57 I'm Andrew Jupin. I'm an unpublished Harry Potter book. Stephen Zedack. Eric Siska. Five almonds in a little bowl, Chris Cabin. And Chelsea Jupin. And we hate movies.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Hello, everyone. Welcome to We Hate Movies. Thank you for tuning in to the fine program as always. That's right. We're kicking off free summer blockbuster extravaganza by talking about a big movie from 2006. It's The Devil Wears Prada directed by David Frankl, and to help us talk about this,
Starting point is 00:03:44 someone who's read the book and has seen the movie several times. My wife, Chelsea, how you doing, babe? Hi. So we're going to get into this, David Frankel, you guys. TV credits here. From the Earth to the Moon, Band of Brothers, okay? Movies. This movie, Marley and Me, the big year.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Hope Springs, which is another Merrill Streep joint. Yes. Previous episode, Collateral Beauty. I was going to say, the collateral beauty one is really the one that I was, I think you should stop directing now. That's where. Cut your losses. This is his best one, maybe, right?
Starting point is 00:04:24 It is. Is it any better than Jerry and Marge go large, starring Brian Cranston and Annette Belly? Oh, no. Nobody knows, because. Nobody watched that. Nobody saw. Is that the lotto one?
Starting point is 00:04:36 Yes. I think it was like direct to paramount or something. Hope Springs is something I would like to bring on this fine program one day because it is Tommy Lee Jones refusing to fuck Merrill Street for an hour and a half. What? How does that even work? I don't want to get in there. No. Is he stuck in a bubble or something?
Starting point is 00:04:57 I tell you, I just jack, jack, jack, jack, jack. That's what I do. Exactly. I will tell you one more time, I have no interest in your vagina's buffoonery. I have no interest in it. Your vagina's wet. I don't care. I mean, I've done it twice, Bethesda.
Starting point is 00:05:14 What do you want from me? I think the marriage counselor is also Steve Carell in that movie. Oh, okay. I remember this. Yeah. Yeah. And so this motherfucker comes back for Devil We're Prada too, which just came out this past weekend. That's why we're doing this clearly.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Up front, by the way, wow. Fox 2000 in the logo. Anybody remember that? Now defunct shingle? I do not. Just one of those like this movie isn't like already enough to be like on our art house like searchlight shingle. So we got to figure out some other thing to call it to make it sound like hip. So Fox 2000.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Well, it sounds cool. You're in the year 2000 pretty much. You know, you got to start acting like it. Chelsea, were you asked it? Chelsea, were you a book then movie person? You read the book and then you were excited about the movie or the opposite. No, I in fact only read the book a couple weeks ago after being asked to do this. I was like, let's see what that's like.
Starting point is 00:06:11 And this is, I've got to say, definitely a case where the movie is better than the book. The book was not very good. And every character is so underwritten in the book. It was, I was unimpressed. More of a manifesto, if you will, maybe. I think one thing that I don't know, I'm not. I think just from private polling that I've been doing, I like this movie the least out of everybody,
Starting point is 00:06:36 but that's fine. But I think that the book, from what I've read about it, it seems like more of a hit piece on Anna Wintor. And like that's all it is where this is like, let's probably make a movie instead kind of a thing. Yeah, it's a lot.
Starting point is 00:06:49 The Miranda character is a lot meaner. It's, and reportedly Anna Wintor does like the movie, but did not ever come around on the book. Oh, really? Oh, that's interesting. Yeah. So was she cool with the divorce humiliation in the movie?
Starting point is 00:07:06 I mean, I think in the movie she's like, well, now it's a different person. Oh, it's sort of the idea. Got it. So in the book, she said she's nastier. Using the C word at any point in that book? Oh, no. All right. Just curious.
Starting point is 00:07:19 I could not imagine nastier. I mean, that boss acting like this is asking to be Luigi Mangione. Yes. Which, by the way, sounds like a fashion line. The new Luigi Mangione is. Oh, yeah. the movie Jibang jones are out bang bang get to the store and buy them
Starting point is 00:07:34 give it some time but um Eric I thought you were going to say oh man it was something else maybe it'll come back to me I for the look I I watch this on network cable like everybody does sure that's the only time I've seen maybe Jen and I have watched this like
Starting point is 00:07:50 end to end at one point but don't you watch it for this oh no I did what is this what are we talking Teenage Mutage Mutin Ninja Turtles 2 Secret of the Ouse that was important to get to this afternoon. I granted.
Starting point is 00:08:03 No, but before that happened, like, when the book came out, like, you know, I was in and around publishing when the book came out. I saw the cover everywhere, and I was reading it, and I was like, oh, that's the book about the lady whose boss is secretly the devil. And then the movie came out. I'm like, oh, that's that movie about the book with the ladies, boss. It's like, I think the first time I watched it, I kept expecting
Starting point is 00:08:28 Merrill Street to be like, well, your soul will have to be in my hand, my pretty, at some juncture. The ladies devil's advocate? Yes, I wanted exactly the ladies devil's advocate. Better movie for me. That's, I mean, that movie, I just rewatch that movie, and it is much better than I remember. But yeah, I think this movie is fine. It's nice froth.
Starting point is 00:08:51 It's just nice, nice, wonderful froth. It's beautiful. It's the whipped cream on your cocoa. It's totally inconsequential. And you got some people in the movie, like, having fun. I'll say I fucking saw this shit in theaters like the week that came out, I feel. We're pretty close to. It was still, still multiplex days, I think.
Starting point is 00:09:09 This was right after we graduated from college. Okay. Like a few weeks after. So it came out May of 2006. And I think I probably went to you, Andrew, like, oh, shit, you saw that devil movie? Is it scary, bro? Shit, is it scary? We're graduating college and I'm like, man, I'm never going to fucking see this guy again.
Starting point is 00:09:27 The Devil's in this fashion comedy. Andrew. does she get Eddie Bazoon? Does she get him at the end? Finally. Oh, man. This is also a movie. There's a couple of these floating around.
Starting point is 00:09:40 These movies that have the audacity to start off being like, isn't Anne Hathaway fucking disgusting? Isn't she just the ugliest thing since cave people? Yep. Until she started wearing designer clothes. That's what I turned my head for the first time in this film. That sweater just turned me off. Like, I was like, oh, that's a, that's a lump of street.
Starting point is 00:10:00 trash over there. No thank you. Well, Chris Cabin famously anti-serrillion blue. I am. Oh, my God. That color. Oh, it's so derivative. We start things off, you know, a little montage here. Again, to show you, just
Starting point is 00:10:16 how disgusting she is versus all the sexy ladies in the world, because it's like women getting sexy lingerie on while she puts on, like, frumpy sweaters and whatnot. You know, so sexy clothes, but Anne is garbage is the idea of this. opening montage, which also
Starting point is 00:10:32 the opening credits here, I got to say foul play here with the color of everything. You think of the movie's poster and this movie has just been so huge over the last 20 years. It's like the red and the black of the text and everything like that.
Starting point is 00:10:50 But in the movie, in these opening credits, it's like an orange and a yellow. They're really gross looking and very not this movie. Right. But in the the opening we do get all this underwear being put on. It's a little something for the fellas that got dragged, I guess.
Starting point is 00:11:06 I mean, we're starting with a big old toothbrushing montage. That's for the fellas as well. I guess so. Just, you know what's going on. Oh my God, prevent those cavities. And in case the Fox 2000 logo didn't date it, Katie Tunstall being used in a major motion.
Starting point is 00:11:23 I really enjoyed her that album at the time. So which song is this, though? How does this one go? Is this, suddenly I see. It's suddenly I see, but it's not the, Woohoo. It's not the Woohoo. Chris, do you remember working at the multiplex in the lead-up?
Starting point is 00:11:41 The Woo-hoo song was everywhere. Well, if it was 2006, you weren't there. So it was just, I remember you telling me about this and I came in. And I think the woo-hoo was in the trailer. Was in the trailer? Yes. So Regal used to have, and maybe they still do, I don't know, but they used to have like a, when you walked in early, like before the 20 was on,
Starting point is 00:12:00 there would just be like a bullshit fake radio station that played. It was like a CD and it just played on repeat. And that fucking song was on it. And so you'd be cleaning a theater and it's just woo-hoo. Do you, do, dar to-dard-da-do-do-woo. For fucking moms. It's not Blur's song too, right? No.
Starting point is 00:12:20 No, no, that's a woo-hoo that I would tolerate. I would have been happy. I would have been doing a lot of woo-hoo's. I will say, I think this is one of the last like soundtrack movies. that didn't have a selling soundtrack. It was just one that it seemed like, suddenly I see, like, everybody, like, I know that's like the first thing they say about this is like,
Starting point is 00:12:41 oh my God, and it opens with that great song. And I'm like, I mean, they use Madonna's bog very well. A couple Madonna tunes in the soundtrack. A couple of Madonna's, you're right, yes. Well, but also we're intermitting it with nothing but fake Ocean's 11 music. Yes. That's the score, though. That's not.
Starting point is 00:13:03 And the score is by Teddy Shapiro, who does the music now for Severance, which I don't hear the connection between the two. But at least according to IMD, that's who did it. Maybe the... I think Teddy's his first name, I don't remember. Maybe the succession stuff is, like, more his speed and this is like he was high-gun. Yeah. Or the other way around, I don't know. I keep feeling that Anne Hathways about to rob a bank.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Yeah. Maybe she will. appropriate for the Oceans 8 score. Wasn't she in that movie? She is. Yeah, yeah. I don't know if he did the music for it, though. Another isn't Anne Hathaway disgusting at the start of this. You see all these dames
Starting point is 00:13:39 just measuring out five almonds at a time and then she's got a bagel because she's a fucking pig. She's eating a bagel. That's the weird thing. Like saying that, you know, she needs a makeover, her hair is messy, whatever. The weird fat stuff in this movie, I raise my hand.
Starting point is 00:13:54 It is the worst part of the movie. I mean, and to not expect it from a movie about the fashion industry is maybe a little naive. Like, I get it. Yes, in that world, someone who looks like a normal person would be considered fat, which is still also not Anne Hathaway. Right. At the time, I mean, the world was psychotic. It was in the arts about weight. Yes.
Starting point is 00:14:17 But I didn't expect it to come from Tucci, I guess. Because Tutsi is a main loader of it. And I was like, what the fuck is going on here? You're supposed to be the likable one. He's got to be villainous. and then get the turn, you see. Yeah, yeah, right, right. I do think, like, you know, like her,
Starting point is 00:14:32 there's two sides to every story. One, yes, you know, Anne Hathaway could eat all the onion bagels she wants, and that's going to be to, everyone can eat all the onion bagels they want. Not in this house. However, to do so before a job interview is a huge, It's crazy. It's a big problem.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Because I feel like you'd have, I mean, I mean, if I just housed an onion bagel at 8 a.m. going to a job interview, I feel like I'd be going, I'd be falling back asleep. And onion bagels are not food to eat on the train. They're so smelly. Don't, don't a bagel on the train, especially an onion or everything bagel does not belong on the train. I agree.
Starting point is 00:15:09 It's a transplant from Ohio thinking she owns the train. But you're about to meet your prospective boss. You don't want to smell like a fucking onion distillery. Exactly. Onion distillery. Do you distill onions? Yeah. Ohio-ethroof-proof onions.
Starting point is 00:15:26 We distilled them. Another round of onions for me and my friends. Dude, you want to do some onion shots? Let's do it. Yeah, why not? The pickleback was big of the arts. Oh, the vehicle. Pickleback shots.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Oh, yeah. Maybe this movie does have the devil in it floating around. Oh, quick update on she's a pig. All the sexy ladies take private cars to the office. She's got to take the subway. Disgusting. So disgusting. But she goes into the office here.
Starting point is 00:15:55 She's got an appointment with Emily Charlton. This is a pre-fame Emily Blunt being shitty as all get out in this movie. But it is a star making performance. You can still be like, yeah, of course she's going to be a movie star after this. I remember watching the movie kind of being like, oh, this person's nobody now. But after this movie, like, she's going to be in more movies. Absolutely. Well, but then, and also she's going to introduce her sister to Stanley Tucci.
Starting point is 00:16:19 And now the two of them are in-laws. Wild, right. Crazy. That's pretty weird. I feel so bad for Tucci. Oh, my God. John Cranziske, just being your brother-in-law, that is hell on earth. Oh, I'm sure he's nice enough.
Starting point is 00:16:32 He'll smile and nod at here or whatever. I just don't know, man. I get to feeling him talk. Kid news. He talks about his kid's news program with you for an hour and a half, and I might die. Oh, I forgot about that. He sold that the second someone gave him some. He's not talking about that to anyone.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Stanley Tuch, you were anyone. He did offload that and now no one does anything with it. But he made a lot of money for it. So good, good for you for trying to do something good. And then instead making millions of dollars. I feel like every Christmas, Stanley Tucci gets him a really nice bottle of wine. And John Crosinski gets him like a shitty airport paperback novel. And he's like, oh, no, I didn't meet this.
Starting point is 00:17:14 I didn't read the last one yet. It was so good. You enjoy that $2,000 bottle of wine I got? Trust me, you got to read this because the next season of my show is coming. It's this, that's the novel. Oh, I didn't know Robert Ludlam had a son that wrote. Oh, that's, oh, wow. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:34 This is great. He's really good at faking the fun of the book, but then the smile dies a little bit when he hears Krasinski be like, yeah, the wine was great. I used it to de-glaze this pan last week. I was like, oh, did you, huh? Yeah, I burned this chicken that I was making and I just poured all the wine and the pan is fine now. And then I got scared and I threw the rest in a spot. So do you think celebrity brothers-in-law, the two of them get along better or worse than other celebrity brothers-in-law, Scott Foley and Patrick Wilson? Ooh, because I thought you were going to say the other, the Jillon Hall and Scarsguard there, or Sarsgaard.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Right. They're not, I mean, I guess they are in-laws. In both cases, they have married sisters is why I feel like they. Oh, yes. Okay. I would think Foley and who's the other guy Foley and Yeah the actual celebrity in that pairing Fast friends they're playing pickup hoops Yeah yeah you know what I mean they're they're spotting each other at the gym absolutely They took up the bro title really quickly he's my bro it's my bro it's my literal bro now Yeah I feel like Crosinski and Tucci have probably a lot less to talk about I agree
Starting point is 00:18:50 Yeah Like John Tzinski's idea of great Italian food is like pizza the hut or something. No, I'd love to be in the fourth quiet place. I would love to see that. I would love to see what that's like. Stanley, I'm trying to figure out a way to write my character back in. You got any ideas other than copious fetchbacks? Hey, can I be in your next Pope movie? Dude, John, I can't help but notice
Starting point is 00:19:16 some of the wine I got you is in your refrigerator right now. It doesn't have a, it doesn't have a stopper on it. It's just in A glass. He's going to use it to make some sangria next summer. That's why. In my defense, it's better than, I got tired of putting the ice cubes in it, you know? I got, it just, you start wasting the stuff.
Starting point is 00:19:35 John, it's a red. I told you, just put it in the fridge 20 minutes before you open it, and that's all you need to do, baby. Not up at Sangria. That's true. All right. What it is eventually going to be sandgreens. It's just ingredients, no. I heard put it in a fridge, so that's what I'm going to do.

Starting point is 00:21:16 That's RocketMoney.com slash WHM. Tell them who sent you, RocketMoney.com slash WHM, which stands for We Hate Movies. you know, one of the things I love about the start of this is I always love the reaction, like people in an industry being like surprised and offended when people who have no skin in the game for that industry don't know the industry top to bottom. And this whole like, like Streep and Emily Blunt's characters are both like, what the fuck do you mean you don't care about fashion? You've never read this magazine?
Starting point is 00:22:00 It's like, she's a journalist. has a major. She hasn't given fuck. She's looking for an office assistant job. Let's all relax here. No, I, I, I, objection. These jobs, I do kind of, like, these jobs are sought after people that want them. And the idea to walk in and be like, what do you do here? You make tires? Like, no, it's a fucking fashion magazine. Like, did you do any research? Ah, yeah. No, I got, look at my resume. I was a hot shot in college. Like, okay, good. That I understand. But the, like, the notion of, like, they can't even believe. that someone wouldn't care about it as much as they do is always very fucking me. Like, what do you mean? You don't fucking give your heart and soul to college radio. Steve,
Starting point is 00:22:41 were you quizzed when you went to Marvel where they were like, Martian Man Hunter, go. No, but it was like, that's a DC character. You both just passed the job interview, by the way.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Congratulations. A great gotcha interview, Eric. I've worked in publishing my whole life. And I've always been like, oh, I love your publication. I look up whatever the bullshit.
Starting point is 00:23:02 book is and be like, that was the best book I saw. I read last year. Oh, that was so good. I've always dreamed of working for you. Sir, do you need someone to kiss your ass today? Absolutely. I went to a 3 p.m. showing of your book. It was fantastic. I listened to that whole
Starting point is 00:23:18 thing at double speed. It was fantastic. But uh-oh, we're all shitting our pants because Miranda shows up early. And folks, you know, over the last few years, especially with like the pandemic and everything, the notion the problem of toxic work environments have come out and everything.
Starting point is 00:23:35 You know, like, this woman just needs to be fucking retired. The end of this movie should be her getting fucking put out to pasture. This is no way to work. This is no way to live. That's what they were trying to do. The end of this movie is a tragedy when they don't fucking get, like Jacqueline, uh, what's her, filet should be in charge of this fucking magazine.
Starting point is 00:23:54 She should be retired. Stanley Tucci should be hanging out with James Holt. That is the correct ending of this. But of course she fucks it. Guys, this eccentric geniuses. are allowed to be mean and weird. I actually just realized, though, this is the story of a boomer refusing to retire
Starting point is 00:24:09 and fucking give up the rain. So you know what? It's totally accurate. I'm waiting this whole movie for a sheetcake to fall in Merrill Street. Thank you. Yes. That'd be nice.
Starting point is 00:24:20 Like a nice Marx Brothers ending. Totally. Like she's like readjusting her pearls and then a huge pie comes at her. But the biggest comeuppance is that like she gets fucking ditched in Paris, which is kind of funny. her turning around and being like,
Starting point is 00:24:33 hold my bag, bitch. Oh, I'm alone now. Oh, no. Which is why I'm less excited about the sequel, because it's like we're getting the gang back together, but I'm like, they never were a gang. Like, they hated each other. But it's fun to think about, you know? Sure. The cast is good. I'm, you know, I'm not excited
Starting point is 00:24:51 for the sequel, but I will see it. We've got our tickets. We're seeing it on Saturday. But I will say a giant failure of the ad campaign so far. And they are just skating on like you like the first one and everybody's back. But these trailers, we watched a couple yesterday, they don't really tell you what the movie's about other than like Andy has to come back working for runway for some reason. And somebody from Bridgerton will come to, I don't know who, but some random character
Starting point is 00:25:19 from Bridgeton will be there. But what do you think is going to be like a bank robbery or something? Chelsea has the actual name of the actress there. Chris Can't pull. Who is it? Simone Ashley is going to be playing the sort of. Emily part in this next one. And she was the lead
Starting point is 00:25:35 in the second season of Bridgeton opposite Jonathan Bailey. Correct. That's it. Yeah. There's a funny, I think a funny bit in the new trailer with her and Caleb Huron. I think he laughs and she says like, no, there's no laughing in this office or something. It's a funny
Starting point is 00:25:51 joke. I enjoyed that. I was tickled pink that Caleb is in this. He's so fucking funny. That guy. So I really hope like he's given some runway, pun. intended to be very funny because that dude is hysterical. But yeah, so she's like basically, she's fucking shocked up at onion bagel. She looks like a sack of shit.
Starting point is 00:26:11 She's Ann Hathaway. But she gets the job. She gets the job because Miranda sees something in her or does she. Well, she sees that like all the other assistants who wanted to be there and fit the, you know, the dresses or whatever, they were bad. So let's hire the fat, smart girl, she says later. The fat smart girl who was a pain in the ass at the very end And that's what she respects
Starting point is 00:26:34 Is that she was kind of a pain in the ass at the end there And you got to give it back a little bit Yeah, that will get you the respect At least in this movie's eyes And like immediately she leaves Then Emily Blunk gets her in the lobby's like Come on on, you're the new fucking assistant Let's go, you're the new Emily
Starting point is 00:26:51 It is pretty funny when she's giving Andy the the Anne Hathaway character is giving it to Miranda right here and doing the whole like Impassion speech and get hired like Sure I don't know anything about fat And this, that and then like Tucci just barges in And totally cuts it off with like whatever mundane work question he has
Starting point is 00:27:13 Pretty great. Tucci is great in this movie. It's really fun to watch. Are we doing a before and after piece I don't know about? Very good. He's so great and it's a great movie and that it let a lot of actors him and Meryl Streep mostly. you know, they weren't blockbuster actors.
Starting point is 00:27:30 They were having great careers, of course, but they weren't like, we need a person in this movie and this movie needs to make a lot of money. Let's get Stanley Tucci and Merrill Street. You know, there weren't the conversations you were having until after this movie. And I think that we're all better for it, personally.
Starting point is 00:27:46 This kind of did Usher Streep back in, not that she ever left or anything. But it was a very different career before this. And without this, you wouldn't be getting her in Mamma Mia. you wouldn't be getting her in Julie and Julia. It would be a very different Meryl Streep without that. That's exactly it. The respectability thing was always kind of a hamper for her
Starting point is 00:28:05 because she never made money. And this was the one that made fucking money. Exactly. And she's taking a little bit of the piss out of it. You know what I mean? She's having fun as opposed to. She was for the longest time, I think probably cry in the dark is one of the reasons.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Like, you know, like a noted serious actress. Right. And like when she was in comedies, they weren't bit like she's in postcards from the edge which isn't you know a blockbuster and one of my favorite movies of all time uh defending your lives yes of course it's certainly not a blockbuster right yes no and it's also not like a huge knee slide it's a very funny movie but there's yes there's like heart to it and stuff like forever whatever i like about this movie i don't know that there's a ton of heart here i think it's
Starting point is 00:28:50 all very surface level fun kind of that's just me anyway well well apologies uh she was also in 2003, as herself in knee-slapping comedy stuck on you. What's that now? The Farrelly Brothers, Siamese, conjoined twins. Merrill Streep's in that? Apparently, I'm sure. It's a cameo, I guess. Well, you know, Anne Hathaway was gaining steam around this era.
Starting point is 00:29:14 She had the Princess Diaries and then broke back Mountain. It's great in that. Unfortunately, all of that money just went right to that fucking crooked Italian con artist. So thank God she got to keep making blockbuster so she could make that money back. What's this? There was an Italian con. Is this a movie?
Starting point is 00:29:32 Anne Hathaway was married to an Italian con man. How is that? No, they weren't married. They were engaged. Engaged, sorry. Play yourself in a movie about this. I know. You know what, though?
Starting point is 00:29:42 She's probably still, I mean, this happened like 20 years ago, but like she's probably still humiliated. But you know what I mean? Like, you don't want to make a fucking movie about her. You got duped by some Italian con artist. I will, I got a shout out this movie. the seduction of Joe Tynan, which is Meryl Streep Young, Alan Aldous,
Starting point is 00:29:58 a politician that she starts having an affair with. Directed by Jerry Shatsberg of Scarecrow and Panic and Needle Park. Really good movie. Yeah, I'd like to see Miranda, please. We've got a dinner party. I'm here for the year before and afterpiece. Well, he would be a better
Starting point is 00:30:18 a husband she's divorcing than the guy from law and order. Yes. Well, there. He's a big theater actor too. He did the Chicago Revival when it first opened. But at the same time, like, you know, Alda's not going to go in for like, what was this guy on this movie, an afternoon?
Starting point is 00:30:34 Yeah. You should have him, have Alda play. What's the guy, Irv, the guy who owns the magazine conglomerate. Yeah. That's at least got some lines. No, what I want is Andy, Miranda's having lunch with Alan Alda. And you better not fuck it up. I swear to God, if Alan Alder,
Starting point is 00:30:54 is in the wrong restaurant, you will fucking, don't kill. Don't you dare try to order mashed potatoes in front of him. If I had a dollar for every paparazzi shot, I saw Anna Wintor and Alan Alda hanging out, Jess. You can't get away from them. He spends Christmas with Carl Lagerfeld every season. So you get Alba. I'm a New York institution. What are you going to do?
Starting point is 00:31:17 I mean, Anna, the salads are always fantastic, so I don't complain. But really, I don't know what the hell we're going to talk about. looked it up by the way 2006 Merrill also awesome in RIPD the final Bob Altman film Prairie Home Companne. She was very good on that. Wonderful movie. So this was kind of an interesting year for her.
Starting point is 00:31:39 She's also doing a voice in 2006. She was the queen in the ant bully. Oh boy. Oh, wow. Good. Is that the one with sly? No, no, no, the aunt bully is Paul Giamati is an ant a fumigate, like a, a pest guy. Yes. This is a secret movie. Did you call you, Mottie, Nicholas Cage,
Starting point is 00:32:01 Julia Roberts, Merrill Street, Regina King, Bruce Campbell, Lily Tomlin, Sherry O'Terry, Larry Miller. Oh, noted sex criminal, Allison Mack. Ricardo Montabon. This is insane. This is not. Here's the thing you don't understand kids, if you're younger than us.
Starting point is 00:32:19 In the early odds, we were ant crazy. We were. I mean, nothing but movies about ants and bugs. And I'll tell you what, I've never seen any of those because I don't give a shit about insects and whatnot. I don't get it.
Starting point is 00:32:30 The only thing of that ilk that I've seen is B-movie because we did the episode on it. But Bugs' life, ants, whatever this fucking other ant bully movie is, no, thank you. I don't need to be watching bugs.
Starting point is 00:32:40 So she goes out to celebrate, this is where she celebrates with her pals here and sexy boyfriend Adrian Ganeer, everybody. The shittiest group of friends cinemas put together in a while. Probably. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:52 But man, in the book, it's so much more awkward and I won't keep you know because that's not no no I would love it out but there's only one uh she only is one friend uh they they only have Lily the the rich Somer summer guy is not in the book um but in the in the book Lily her like wacky storyline which I mean at least she has one in this it's nothing in this she opens a gallery and has the worst gallery flow plan idea I've ever heard about my life right start from the back and that yes we'll get to me. Amateur. No, but she's like a sad alcoholic in the book and like, Andy has to come back from Paris because she's in a coma after a drunk driving accident. Yeah. That's incredible.
Starting point is 00:33:34 Out of place and it doesn't work. Yeah. Thank you. I don't know if it's more true to life for the author and that's why it's, it's so awkward. Speaking of the author, what's the woman's name? Lauren Weisberger, I believe. Yeah. There was just a thing like literally today, the woman who she based the Emily character on, like broke her anonymity. She's like a stylist, yeah. And she was just like, I was a piece of shit to her because I was doing her job for her all the time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:01 Nice. I mean, also, that's a bigger part of the book is her attitude and her attitude about the job isn't great in the movie, but she is like a model employee in the movie compared to the book. She is taking long lunches and like smoking cigarettes and using like the phone to call her boyfriend the whole time. She's terrible. To be fair, that's what I thought.
Starting point is 00:34:21 thought people in fashion did, you know? But yeah, so you got Tracy Thomas as Lily. Tom. Tracy Tom's apologies. Who's from deathproof and rent. And the Great Rich Somer, who's also playing similarly like Stanley Tucci, characters that are probably gay, but we're never going to talk about. The huge character definitely is.
Starting point is 00:34:43 This Rich Somer thing is interesting, though, because isn't. But he's never like, and my boy, Stephen Taylor, Titch is never like, and my boyfriend, Tom. But he's never. And he's my boyfriend. How long though, where he's talking about being a kid reading it or whatever. He's a gay kid and that? It's the closest it comes.
Starting point is 00:34:57 But he doesn't get gay. He's talking about being a young boy more interested in sewing than soccer. I mean, he doesn't need to outright scream. I'm gay. Sure. But Rich Somer is kind of also similar. Like, you're like, what is he? He's boring.
Starting point is 00:35:12 That's what he is. Yeah. He's not a character. They have no defining characteristics. But question back to the Tracy Tom's character, Lily, in the book. does she have fashion knowledge? Because it feels like maybe they split the character in two and Rich Somer for whatever reason just gets
Starting point is 00:35:28 because he's just very knowledgeable about fashion. Right. He's the one who actually knows of those. I don't remember if she does in the book. She's too drunk the whole time. Where are you working? What are you doing? Listen, when it's your 20s to 40s and 50s, it's fine to be in 60s and 70s. I mean, why to pack them all in?
Starting point is 00:35:47 By 80, slow down a little. and lucky for unlucky for everybody Vince did this movie. Oh man, Vince did the movie. I don't think it's a bad performance from him. No, it's just an Adrian Grinier performance. It's just what he's done all the time.
Starting point is 00:36:05 None of these characters matter. Like that's just like all four of these like just fucking chop them all three of them. Chop them off. Throw them out because it doesn't matter. Like all that matters is the Miranda Priestley, Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway situation. That's it. Everything else is garbage.
Starting point is 00:36:20 But who's going to be there, Chris, to get mad at her when she starts getting into her work and enjoying it and getting busy? Who is going to be there to tell her that they're stabbing her in the back? Bring back dear old dad or something like that. Bring back one of these just for like a phone call or something. Surprisingly, the dad gets the one visit and there's never a phone call or anything. You're right. That would be something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:42 But they all have these dream jobs. I think Harry Crane, Rich Somer is working in finance. Tracy Thompson's like starting up at the gallery world that he and Adrian Ginear is like a wannabe chef. They're like, to paying the bills for our enormous apartments. Cheers everybody. The enormous apartments and you're right. Everyone's got these nice jobs. I mean, I hope in the sequel, everyone's, you know, the new assistant is friends with an Amazon delivery person, an Amazon delivery person, a new barit's person.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Oh, do you think. Holy shit. The prediction about the second movie that I hope doesn't come through. there's some sort of like oh my god we're not going to get the dress in time and then a fucking Amazon drone flies in the same thing like that War of the Worlds movie
Starting point is 00:37:28 I've been trying to avoid stuff but I did see that there is apparently a dig joke at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez Bezos. I'm sure it's not mean enough but take those billionaires down a peg movie truth to power right here that was product two
Starting point is 00:37:45 that it's interesting you brought up the apartment because yeah I looked at the uh the cross street they show the cross streets oh my god it's uh yeah broom and orchards so they live like down like lower east side kind of billion dollar rents yeah it is a pretty gross apartment though like it's kind of cute and cozy but also because she doesn't clean one window well yes nobody clean yeah he should clean yeah the floor space is wild like square footage you have the french doors to close off the bedroom which is nice but what they tell like the way that they make it shitty the bathtub is in the kitchen living room area sort of tucked away which is a thing and yes especially in some new york city apartments
Starting point is 00:38:27 you would just have that so that's like whatever but you were still on the lower east side in 2006 we should remember 2006 that was like the boom that is kind of like flight of the concord's time so it wasn't exactly what it is now but it wasn't like all the poor kids can go live, you know, that had already passed in 2005. Does anyone else tour, like I went and saw an apartment to maybe live in that actually did have the shower in the kitchen.
Starting point is 00:38:56 Did you really? Yeah. No, I never did. Did not take it. So apologies. Yeah, this apartment it's got 700 square feet. It's really nice. It's got or and a bay windows and the French doors. The only downside is you will have to watch Anne Hathaway
Starting point is 00:39:11 Bade occasion. I am so so, so Wait a minute. The disgusting frump from Devil Wears Prada Pass. Yeah, you're going to have to watch it take a bat. I apologize. Does it come with a vomit bucket? Because I'm going to meet that as well.
Starting point is 00:39:27 If we're doing it, I'll do it, but I need a bucket. So Andy's got this early morning wake-up call. On her landline because it's 2008. Totally ring it. Bing. Anyone clock with this cell phone? Is this a sidekick? I wondered if it was a sidekick.
Starting point is 00:39:45 I think it might be. But you never see it the cool sidekick move, though. Yeah. Like it just kind of like, it's like a cheaper sidekick. It kind of looks like you guys remember those the little handheld tiger video games back the day? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Those shitty shit, like they operated on like one double A battery. The phone kind of looks like one of those. Yes. But yeah, it's this big insane coffee order that Emily Blunt gives her here and she's got a race to get it. We get this little montage of her getting it. There is the funny Marathon. Miranda line. Has she died or something? Where's the coffee? And I always thought that the Starbucks
Starting point is 00:40:22 product placement was one, a little ridiculous, but also too, like wouldn't Miranda be drinking something fancier? Yes. I guess that's true. A Winter goes through Starbucks like nobody's like loves Starbucks. Yeah. So that's based on real life. Addicted to bad coffee. Boy, that's like. If I'm having bad coffee, I'm going to go with Dunkin' Donuts over Starbucks. I'll be the one guy I prefer Starbucks. Really? Yeah. All right. I like my insides to burn. I'm off of the bucks, dude. I haven't had the bucks in a really long time.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Yeah, years. I couldn't tell you. I make my coffee at home. No. Oh, no. If I'm choosing, I'm choosing almost anything other than, but if I'm in an airport or whatever, I'd rather put my stomach in a vice. If there's a gun into my head, yeah, I'll have Starbucks. Well, you don't go searching for the one Einstein brothers that has. So we get a lot of like, here's how you do the job. You know, the phone must be answered. You can't, you know, leave the desk at any point. You have to man the desk at all times. So it's like your first day in the job.
Starting point is 00:41:30 And this woman who's kind of like your direct boss, I guess, before the big boss of Merrill and whatever. But you have this girl just like bragging to you about all these perks that she has that you don't. And I'd just be like, you know what? The job hunt fucking continues. And it's got nothing to do with you, Meryl Streep. It's got everything to do with this girl who thinks her shit does not stink.
Starting point is 00:41:53 And she's still just an executive assistant. She's assisted one. And Hathaway would be assisted too. And the idea, and Hathaway is a bit squishy about it. But Andy wants to be a serious journalist. And if you do a year with Miranda Priestley, you can write your own ticket in publishing, assume. Oh, yeah. It can get you as far as the sun.
Starting point is 00:42:15 The New York Sun. Right. But you were explained about what the book is, which is mock up of the current issue that they're working on. I do love Anne Hathaway going. She gets all these notes or whatever. And then it's like, could you please spell Gabana? And they all like, bomb it.
Starting point is 00:42:32 That's very funny. Yeah. There was, I heard the story like fifth hand. So it might not be true. But I knew a girl who knew someone who had worked at the box office of the revival of True West that John C. Riley and Philip C. Hoffman were in in the early odds. I saw that show.
Starting point is 00:42:48 That was such a good show. Oh, my God. Well, apparently, who also did was Toby McGuire goes up to the one at the box office and is like, my friend isn't here yet. Can I leave his ticket here? And can you give it to him? And they were like, yeah, no problem. Just write his name down him.
Starting point is 00:43:02 We'll give it to him. And he starts writing. And then he looks up and he goes, how do you spell Decaprio? And they're like, you know what? It's fine. Oh, wow. What a dick. Allegedly.
Starting point is 00:43:12 Allegedly, allegedly. Allegedly. But it's also a great story. So, yeah. That would be something. Don't you know who my friend is, you dumb bitch? I'm Spider-Man and he's Jack and he's late for the play. I do love Tucci giving her these free shoes and she's like, oh, whatever.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Miranda knows what I look like. And he just goes, do you? And that like starts chipping away like her idea of what this place is or whatever. I mean, my God, Tucci with the corn chowder gate that happens. I mean, that is disgusting. I mean, like, I don't, like, yeah, Miranda Priestley sucks, but also, like, the idea that you can't go to the bathroom, like,
Starting point is 00:43:55 that's ridiculous. That's absolute. And, like, the fact that the end of that is like, oh, and you know what? One time, some girl, she just couldn't, she went and she had to take a shit and she missed the fucking phone call from Dominic. And then guess what? She's now working at TV guide. That sounds like a pretty good gig. I was like, that's all a publication.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Yes. Seems like a nice gig. Sure. I mean, it's about to go under. But like, it wasn't about taking a shit, Chris. She cut her hand open on a letter opener. So it's even crazier. Yes, that's true.
Starting point is 00:44:28 You should be able to shit all you want. You should be. That's what I would start doing. Dude, you want to have these rules in place? Okay. I'll bleed and shit all over this desk. Whatever. You fucking told me to not leave.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Fine. I'm going to take a shit right here. I think that's what my beef with the movie is. is like by humanizing Miranda at the end and being like, oh, she should keep the job because, you know, blah, blah, blah, she works so hard. It like, it rewards this bad behavior, which does exist.
Starting point is 00:44:57 The real, A, Anna Wintour, and like, you know, in these high-profile jobs, people walk around and treat people like dog shit and should be held to account. I agree with you to a point, and I think I would agree with you more if at the end of this movie, which I guess the sequel's now undoing, but like if at the end of this movie, she did stay and she was like,
Starting point is 00:45:15 more Miranda, but she does, she fucks off and she gladly takes the job recommendation and, you know, that's kind of the end of it. But I mean, yeah, you're right. Like, we should not reward people like this. This is not a tiger boss. This is not you being a strong, whatever. It's just you being a fucking piece of it's also Stockholm
Starting point is 00:45:31 syndrome, right? Because Tucci is like institutionalized here. He doesn't can't go out in the real world. They'll hang himself. Tucci was here. with the WZ. He gets screwed in this. He really does. It's the most heartbreaking
Starting point is 00:45:49 part of them. It's the only heartbreaking part of the movie. They just flip-flop a lot at the ending. I mean, we're zapping it. We're jumping ahead here. It's all right, Chris. I mean, the fact that, like, yeah, she's like, oh, but my poor kids when they're talking about divorce.
Starting point is 00:46:03 And then she immediately does the usurping and does the fucking get Jacqueline is going to go over to James Holt. This is going to happen. It's like, oh, she feels bad because of the kids. I'm like, the kids are showing like the shining children. I don't know what you mean. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:46:19 You do not want to encounter eerie twins in a Manhattan townhouse. I think they only exist in like the ghost realm or something. That's why Miranda's like, what are you doing? There was no children here at all. Miranda doesn't have kids. There were some girls who died in that townhouse
Starting point is 00:46:37 a hundred years ago. Oh, so you met the twins, did you? Oh, did they ask for the book this time? they are such mischievous troublemakers, those ghosts. Yes, or two two twin girls. Addie, Bay and Abigail. Yes, yes, of course. Whack, whack, whack.
Starting point is 00:46:51 I do love, so Merrill's like sending her out to sending Andy out to do some tasks and whatever. And she, the gag of she constantly is just calling both of them, Emily is very funny. But I do like the, and Emily, and they show Merrill and she like sort of looks down.
Starting point is 00:47:08 And then they cut to, to Anne, and they sort of tilt the camera down. this is the same shot sequence that they use when Reagan pisses on the floor and the exorcist and it is to show like yes Merrill is without saying anything Miranda is like change your fucking skirt
Starting point is 00:47:24 or your shoes she's wearing the big cloggy black chunky shoes oh boy but that shot is just like an astronaut should be like your daughter just peed on the floor but and then I think it's is it too cheap one of them someone has a line are we doing a hideous skirt
Starting point is 00:47:42 convention. That's Emily. Is that? Okay. With one's line, that's pretty good. Yeah. But we go to Cal Klein to get some stuff, I think, and Emily's barking, another huge set of orders for her. This is where I'm like, this movie could be 90 minutes. Like, we got
Starting point is 00:47:56 that it's shitty, but now it's like kind of more shitty, but we're seeing this is where, yes, this music, this is, it's the montage music when we're not using Pop-Tam. I mean, I like the movie, but it needs to be shorter, I do think. I will say, though, I find we talked about how it's always on basic
Starting point is 00:48:12 cable. It being too long makes it a perfect plane movie. You want to zap that flight. This is a good one. Anything that's a little too long on a plane. You know, we get Oh, here's where we could cut some stuff
Starting point is 00:48:28 here. Any fucking Giselle Bunchin acting that we can find in this movie. Here she is as Serena, another catty employee that's friends with Emily Blunt. Former Miss Sun Kiss USA Tom Brady. son kiss.
Starting point is 00:48:44 I don't think that son's not hers though, is it? Is that with a different woman? I have no idea who the He's a bunch of kids with him. Yeah, they had kids, but he does also have a kid with Bridget Moynihan, so I don't know what the... I don't know which one he was kissing
Starting point is 00:48:58 in that video. Setting up shop across the country, that guy. Sounds sinful to me, honestly. A little bit. But this is the corn chowder gate, Eric. We go to get lunch and she's getting this corn chowder. and this is too, she just like,
Starting point is 00:49:13 oh, you want to be a fat piece of shit the rest of your life, huh? Yeah, corn chatter, you know, that's full of fat, and that makes you a fat piece of shit, which you are. You know, if anybody sees you eating that, you're going to get fired. That's just how this goes. And she spills some on herself because she's disgusting and fat. I'm sure you have plenty more polybend where that came from. It should be in, like, everyone has to do HR videos,
Starting point is 00:49:36 and it's like you can't talk about all these different things, race, gender. age status Chowder. I think Chowder should be on there. I really do. It should just be like, leave my fucking lunch alone. Yes.
Starting point is 00:49:50 No one should ever comment on what you're eating at lunch at work. I'll go sign that. I'll go sign that. Unless it's like, hey, that fish you reheated is smelling up the tiny kitchen room. Right. But like, ooh, that's so bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, what is it, a cheat day bitch?
Starting point is 00:50:07 Oh. Oh, McDonald's. Oh, I haven't had that year. You enjoy it though. Fuck off. Oh, congratulations. You haven't had McDonald's in years. I'm having it for lunch and I fucking had it at 12.30 at night.
Starting point is 00:50:18 I'm just fucking winger. Are you happy? No, I'm sure. I'm sure the tripe chowder is really good. Really, really good. Oh, God. I've had someone tell me in the morning way back when that, what was it? A muffin is just cake for breakfast and I'm like, fuck off.
Starting point is 00:50:35 It's delicious. Steve, I told you that. It's true, but nobody wants it here. Not you, this other guy. And then, like, I think for lunch, someone just like, oh, wow, that's, it's, it's, it's, it's a serious lunch you got going on there. Serious lunch that's weird. What were you eating? I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:50:52 I was like probably a sandwich and chips. How many harder? How many courses did you have? It took me a long time until I would stop eating lunch at my desk. Don't, no one should eat lunch at there. Go somewhere else and go away and eat. Not in front of people you work with. Don't let anyone see you in.
Starting point is 00:51:10 It's my motto. And remember, folks, when you take a job and your fucking so-called boss is like, you have 15 minutes for lunch, fuck you, that's against the law. Absolutely. That is 110% against the law because they are fucking stealing money from you if that's the case. I'm pretty sure you can't go to the bathroom is also illegal. Tell that to Jeff Bezos. What if her rich husband divorces are to make sure she had? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:51:38 So, uh-oh, Miranda has pushed up the. run through. So you see you're the day is saved. You're not going to eat that corn chowder tubby. We got to get up there because you're already late. I love, he takes her food and throws it in the garden. Without paying for it. Like they're in line to pay and he's like, well, you're not going to eat it so I'll just
Starting point is 00:51:56 throw it away. This is where I side with the rest of the runway employees. If you're in a meeting and people are doing their jobs, you as the assistant should not laugh at them when they do their job. Sure. Yeah. It's a bad look for you, Andy. I'll be honest. Laugh later. And then you get the whole Cerulean speech, which I get it.
Starting point is 00:52:16 Yes, of course. Like if Miranda were a real person and purportedly, maybe she is, maybe whatever, allegedly. Yes, of course, that's very toxic and that should not be the way that anyone gets treated. But I think that the movie does such a good job of sort of rounding her out and, you know, showing the way in which she's important in this industry and the way that this industry is important, even if you don't think it is. I love this part. I love the way that she's able to sort of connect with Anne Hathaway in a way that Anne Hathway isn't expecting. I agree completely. Like you look at something like, you know, simplest comedy.
Starting point is 00:52:53 You see like there's podcasts, the high-end fashion, you know, high-end podcasts, we'll call them that come out. And then eventually people start listening. And then they sort of repeat some of those jokes. It kind of gets a game of telephone. And that's how you get your street jokes these days. It all starts here. I guess what I was waiting for a lot more in this movie
Starting point is 00:53:12 is someone more like Tucci's entrance into what was interesting in fashion. Like this is all just talking down to your assistant. Like to me, none of this, the speech doesn't really ring true as something like, this is why you should care about this or something like that. It's just kind of like,
Starting point is 00:53:31 fuck you for not respecting me. Well, I think everybody's kind of right because it's like what she's saying, I think is very much true. because that's just literally how that industry works. Like someone has a big trendy thing and it eventually trickles down to Target.
Starting point is 00:53:46 That's how that industry works. It's just the way that she's saying it is really terrible. There's no details. I don't think there's any details anything. She's just like, I want to fuck, I want to fucking make this person hurt. And I guess that's just her thing.
Starting point is 00:53:59 And that's kind of why I'm like, I always, I like Merrill Street's performance, but I'm always like, I really don't like this person at all. It's not like an uncut-jems thing where I'm like, oh, I like them, but there's a charm there or something.
Starting point is 00:54:11 I'm just like, God damn it, fuck you every time. I guess to each their own. Like, I think for me, Merrill Street makes this performance and makes me care about her. And of course, like, no, I don't care. She's terrible. But I do because she's great, you know? So I don't know. It works for me.
Starting point is 00:54:27 I agree. I mean, she is the reason to watch this movie. I mean, her and Anne Athwa, obviously. And Athway, yeah. She's chewing the scenery in the best possible way. You know what I mean? It's not overprivile. board. Right. No, exactly. And I think that
Starting point is 00:54:40 she does, I don't agree. I'm kind of splitting the difference because I agree with Chelsea and Chris at the same time. I think that the movie's philosophy on this character is what annoys me, but the way that Merrill Street plays her is correct. Do you know what I mean? Does that mean? Yeah, it does. I'd like
Starting point is 00:54:56 to think of being able, because she's so well regarded, you know, that you almost want to be like Merrill Streep is overrated, but then you watch her in anything and you're like, nope, she's rated exactly where she needs to be. is one of the greatest to ever do it. I saw her and only murders in the building.
Starting point is 00:55:13 She fucking blows the doors off the place. Absolutely. And that's another thing where I was like, come on, do we really? Because they keep adding characters of that. And I'm like, do we really need Merrill Streep?
Starting point is 00:55:21 And then she says anything. And I'm like, yep, it's so good. Because it's just like, it's such a kicker. It's so not like much else I've seen her do anyway. I'm not like a Merrill Streep completest.
Starting point is 00:55:32 There's tons of stuff of hers I haven't seen. But like, I'd never seen her do. I mean, even like this, which this is like arguably funny a lot of the time and like her inflections and pronunciations and whatever but like she's legitimately fucking hysterical on that show playing a real odd ball a real weirdo yeah i just wish that someone i know
Starting point is 00:55:49 would finally you know be murdered near me so that i podcast could take off that's where i see dude if you did it only murders in the building it's either you or your wife that's fucking getting it just live it out you need a big multi-unit apartment built it and statistics say my wife will go first that's what the statistics say oh is that right i didn't know cats could murder the other cat and then you and Amy do a podcast about it. That might be popular. What do you think, Steve cat murders? Oh, cat murder, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:56:16 And I'm worried every night. Every night. I'm just like, what's going to happen? Who's going to be alive when I wake up? New side podcast for Patreon, cat murders, right? We go through all the heinous cat crimes of history. Like, Daryl Strawberry? My lord.
Starting point is 00:56:31 You hear about that guy? Daryl's strawberry. He cut his girlfriend's cat's head off, supposedly. What? Legend. What? Darryl's a problem.
Starting point is 00:56:39 Yeah, they've gotten into an argument, and that's what happens. That's terrible. Allegedly. Daryl. That's what started it, right there. He got taunted too much.
Starting point is 00:56:50 His appearance on the Simpsons carried out. Oh, no. I guess he ratted another person out, Kevin Mitchell decapitated. Okay. I'm correcting the record while I'm going. Well, no, that's good, because I'll pull a Steve Sedaic here.
Starting point is 00:57:01 If any of you motherfuckers, I found out you fucking tortured and killed me, I'd turn your right in. Oh, he turned you on inside of the fucking cock. Is Kevin Mitchell a baseball man too? He is. He is indeed. I just looked it up.
Starting point is 00:57:11 So that guy caught off his ladies' cat's head. It's strawberry. It's the 86 Mets. We're lucky that's all he did. Is that the bad lieutenant Mets? Yes. That's going to say. That might be it.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Cursed. Speaking of curse, this grilled cheese sandwich that Adrian Grinier is making here. It is so burned. And then Stephen Eric, he doesn't slice it. Go. Where do you feel? And also, I'll get this in right now. A, he needs to cut that.
Starting point is 00:57:42 But B, that's burnt is everywhere I want to be with a grilled cheese. It is way too burned. But I don't mind a heavy toast, Steve. But like this looks like an accidental. I forgot I was making a grilled cheese sandwich. It means like at least 30 seconds less on each side than it got. I am not allowed to make Jen grilled cheese because I make it to burn. It's just like that's just not in what I'm allowed to do.
Starting point is 00:58:10 Sounds like not me either then. I will say you make a solid grilled cheese, Chelsea. Thank you. I take a lot of pride in that. Yeah, but he doesn't slice it. And I knew that that was going to cause him trouble. With grilled cheese, I think you cut afterwards. Is my, oh, sure.
Starting point is 00:58:29 Yeah, you can't cut before you grill. Don't pre-cut that. I don't think that's good. But he never does. No, he hands it to her whole. It's a walkin cheese, you know what I mean? It's a big one. It's a big sandwich.
Starting point is 00:58:40 And I would say, even though that's a big sandwich, eight pieces of fucking Yarlesburg on one sandwich is fucking insane. I think he says $8. $8 worth. But even still. Yarlsberg is not, I mean, it's not craft singles, but it's not like. It's a decent cheese, but. It's a top tier cheese.
Starting point is 00:58:59 Especially if he's later shopping at Dean and Deluca, like. Yeah. Just remember, this is why. he's going to go work in Boston cooking. He gets shot out of the New York. Yeah, up in Boston, they appreciate a literal pound of cheese. If you're $8 worth of cheese, that's a pound of cheese. That's disgusting.
Starting point is 00:59:17 He's awful. Well, and then they do also, this was a little earlier when they're first at it. Lily makes fun and it's like, this dump that Nate works at. And then they show it later and it's a pretty decent restaurant. Really nice. It's bubbyes. He works at bubys. It's legendary bubbyes.
Starting point is 00:59:33 And he's like, look at this fucking dope. Bubbies is great. Folks, if you're visiting the city ever... No, it's way too touristy, though, so don't tell people to go. There's already too many people go away. It's not a shitty place. It's not a shitty place. This movie is talking shit about it.
Starting point is 00:59:49 It's down in Tribeca, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That place is fantastic, and he should be very happy to... But honestly, that place, and he should be thinking about this, that place is probably better than 98% of places in Boston. So I would, you know, watch yourself a little bit out. there Adrian Grenier. That's why he couldn't hack it, you know?
Starting point is 01:00:08 He couldn't do it. I'm sure there's Oates Cuisine in Boston. We're just unfamiliar with it. By the way, I'm just having fun. The whole ending of them getting back together, spoilt, like. It's ambiguous. I like that it's ambiguous. I prefer.
Starting point is 01:00:22 Right. I think it's never actually going to happen, but they're like, maybe if you come to Boston, we can hook up sometime and we're both single and that's about it. You should be happy to be far away from your starter boyfriend. That's all I'm saying. In the book, the Nate character, he has a different name. I forget what it is. But he's a teacher and like with the Teach for America program. So he's in like a troubled school in the Bronx. And so like then it sort of almost makes a little more sense that he's like such a dick about like you work in fashion now. But at the same time, if he's a chef, that's a career that famously has really difficult hours. Why are you being so persnickety about her having, you know? Great point.
Starting point is 01:01:00 They have no time for a social life. And bad bosses famously, right? A lot of, of those tests? You don't want Mario Batali over your shoulder. Oh, you don't. You really, really do not. Legally, he's not allowed over your shoulder anymore. I'm glad that dude got drained of all popularity.
Starting point is 01:01:22 Hey, Mario, stay away from that shoulder. Get away from that shoulder. I see, I see you over there. Just stop looking at the shoulder there, Mario. We get another bop-bop-bop-a-pon montage right here and you're seeing like Miranda being demanding but Andy's like getting a hang of getting the hang of it right but there's a great
Starting point is 01:01:40 Miranda line where she's just because like the requests keep getting weirder and weirder and more ridiculous and it finally ends with where's that piece of paper I had in my hand yesterday I just can't imagine anyone fucking asking me that seriously did you punch Bill Irwin like I asked you too oh Bill Irwin would have spiced this movie up a little bit He couldn't have said no. I would have said no. I would love it. I'm getting divorced because my husband keeps doing fucking clown tricks in the living room. I love Bill Irwin.
Starting point is 01:02:15 He's great. But yeah, so, you know, you know that she's got it because now she answers. She calls whoever the fuck and is like, I have Patrick. Like, and that was the big. She didn't know how to do that at the beginning of the employment here. So now that she knows how to dial Patrick when Miranda says, I need devil. or whatever the guy's last name is. It is one of those things I think that, like,
Starting point is 01:02:38 someone needs to be like, this is how you do your job. Because they're just like, there's got to be an onboarding. There's no onboarding. Yeah. Yes. It's totally right, Steve. This is how you do it. This is what the phone, this is how the phone works. Not just like, you get 10 minutes for lunch and you better not fuck it up.
Starting point is 01:02:53 Like, yeah. Eve, I'm sorry, but a bunch of other people would die for this job. So, no, you don't have to do that. That's true. This is why you're, here's the thing. If you keep firing assistance, you got to turn that fucking magnifying glass the other way and look at what? Why? What is the process here?
Starting point is 01:03:08 Why would I have to do that? I'm around to Priestley. I can do whatever I want. Steve, she just demands perfection. And there's something like that. This is where the demand goes too far, though, because this goes into the, it's in the, the, the category of this woman doesn't know how weather and airplanes works. Get me out of here.
Starting point is 01:03:26 We got dinner with dad. And this dude literally flown to Ohio to be like, or from Ohio to be like. I don't think they say, I think you guys all made that. No, she says it at one point. She's from a little. Yeah. It's somewhere in there. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:37 All right. This motherfucker flies all the way to New York to be like, your mother and I are very concerned about you. We're going to go see a Broadway show and have a nice night. But seriously, this job might be killing you. And like, Miranda calls right here. And it's like, uh-oh, the flight that she was taking back up to the city from Miami is canceled due to a storm. And you see Merrill Street in this like, it looks like the set of perfect strangers,
Starting point is 01:04:01 this fake fucking hotel room that. she's in with the bad storm outside. The fake storm that it looks like a cartoon. It's like she slipped into the cartoon world here. Yes, I saw Steve Urkel in a similar fucking rainstorm back in the 90s. I thought I was watching another TV, TBS Classic Forces of Nature with Sarah. Oh, God. Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck.
Starting point is 01:04:23 How have you guys never done that movie? That's a horrible movie. Is that what, which one is that the rehab movie? No, that's the 28 days. This is, it's very plain. trains in automobile. Oh. Like they're both trying to get to
Starting point is 01:04:37 somewhere and so they've got to car together. Yeah, and she's going to the same place and they end up falling in love. Spoiler alert. I actually don't think I've seen this. I think I was thinking of what's that other Ben Affleck movie where he's like he's trapped overseas at some place?
Starting point is 01:04:53 Are you talking about Pearl Harbor? Well, that's fucking Hawaii dude. So that's okay. Okay. So not overseas. I just know. Maybe I don't know. Maybe I'm just space. I think about bounce. Oh, yeah. Bounce is another airplane movie with Ben Affleck. Yeah, that's the only thing I could think of. That's the one where Gwyneth Paltrow's husband and him trade tickets for the plane and then it crashes. And so Gwyneth Paltrow is a widow and Ben Affleck. Is it right there to fix that. He was. I think I was. He always is. I was thinking of a different movie that he's not even in. Don't work.
Starting point is 01:05:31 What is the movie though? I gotta know. Breakdown Palace, I think I was thinking of. Oh, Brokedown Palace. Oh, yeah. They are indeed stuck overseas in that movie. And Vince Vaughn's the only one who can get him out. Oh, he's the lawyer? Yes, I think so, yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:47 Or he's just like a fixer or somebody who's trying to get him. Who plays the boyfriend? No, I think you're getting confused the different one. Broke down Palace is Claire Dane's and what's her face. And Kate Beckinsale, right? And they're stuck. But then Vince Vaughn is another. oh no we did like coke in the wrong country movie uh red corner no it's him in that oh right uh no so a broke down palace
Starting point is 01:06:12 has bill pullman and lou diamond phillips is standing out to me okay okay i'm pulling it up i'll get there we'll get there uh but so like we're we're trying she's like oh call fucking donatella versaci see if we can use her jet all this shit there's a fucking hurricane outside because this is that this is what needs to be stomped out of this society, which is like, I don't take no for an answer. Cool, but there's no way to do it. You know what I mean? Also, like, if you ever find yourself in a situation where you're the person saying, I don't take no for an answer, re-evaluate almost everything about yourself,
Starting point is 01:06:50 because that is, it's shitty sounding, and it's also at this point, this day and age, very pathetic sounding. Sometimes no is the answer. Yeah, exactly. Lead sentence and just leave it. Yep. It's the wanting to deny reality. I would be losing my mind if I had to deal with somebody like this.
Starting point is 01:07:05 She leaves this restaurant to like make all these calls. It's awesome. Actually, they run through Times Square. We spied the old Virgin Megastore RIP. The site of the Mr. Durst is trying to stop in the shop incident that I had all those. That's right. If you're new to the show, Andrew got bullied by limp biscuit. By limp biscuit's body guard.
Starting point is 01:07:27 Yes, exactly. Thank you. Fred Durst's security guard. It's bullied me. Thank you very much. The hard biscuit they called that guy. Yes. And she does eventually give up and goes to see Chicago with her dad, we assume,
Starting point is 01:07:38 because no one can get Miranda out because it's a hurricane. Exactly. Hot ticket in 2006, you know what I mean? That's how that worked. It had been playing for like nine years already. This revival has been played. And which is funny, though, but Miranda's husband was the, maybe not funny. It's the wrong word for it.
Starting point is 01:07:55 But I don't know. It was interesting for me. Interesting tidbit. There you go. Yeah. He was, he was Billy Flynn when the revival first opened in 97. Oh, that's interesting. But that's funny, though, that they're going to see Chicago because, like, this is 06.
Starting point is 01:08:08 That movie was 02. So that's even four years in the rear view by this point. But it is kind of accurate in the sense of like, you have a parent come in and it's like, what do you want to do? And if they don't know much about like hip Broadway goings on, they'll be like, oh, yeah, Chicago is supposed to be good, right? And then, you know, you go see Chicago. And most of the time you can go see that Chicago.
Starting point is 01:08:28 revival with about 20 minutes notice and you can still get a ticket. Now it's selling like crazy because the secret life of Mormon wives woman is in it. And what's his face from Traders? Exactly. Who was her dancing with the stars partner? Oh, so that's why they've got, I see. Steve, you were right. It's returned to paradise.
Starting point is 01:08:45 Yes. That's God damn it. Fuck. That's the Vin's Bonn getting stuck somewhere. Yeah, Wachian Phoenix. They all do hash in Malaysia. Yes. The Malaysians will hang you just for looking at hash.
Starting point is 01:08:56 And wait a second. So now I am now realizing. that I also thought that that was both, I thought the Claire Danes and Kate Wins, or Kate Beck and Sails shit, and also the Joaquin Vint was the same fucking broken down palace movies. It's the boy
Starting point is 01:09:10 version and the girl version. That's all about how these other people are very aggressive and will hang you when you go overseas. So be careful out there. Looks. We had Midnight Express. We need 11 p.m. Express. It's also a really awkward of the second Bridget Jones' diary
Starting point is 01:09:28 movie and I believe book two where she gets stuck in I think it's Thailand for... Oh really? Caning her? No, she's so stupid. She teaches all the prisoner ladies to sing like a virgin and they do and that's how she gets released from jazz?
Starting point is 01:09:44 No, Colin for his lawyer so he gets up. Oh, right. I would have to be it if you did that you get added on to your sentence. But the next day she's so fucking icy because it's like you failed me. And I missed the twins recital and blah, blah, blah, sure.
Starting point is 01:10:03 But you know what? I didn't make the fucking hurricane lady, you know? Exactly. And also, I seriously doubt this is the first time you've missed something your children were doing. Right. So she decides it's time for a makeover to show that she's really serious about the job. That's right. This is after, yeah, she gets basically dressed down by two children
Starting point is 01:10:21 because she goes to him looking for sympathy like, oh, isn't Miranda such a bitch? And he's like, look, I'm just trying to look at that. some photo proofs and you're not fucking doing yourself any favors in this job you know this is not just a magazine this is where he gives the big speech about like you know for someone from the Midwest this was he didn't play
Starting point is 01:10:41 baseball he hit under the covers reading runway and blah blah shining beacon of hope he refers to it right yeah right and be serious you're not trying you're whining yeah this screenplay is really good it was they were like a million versions of it if you look into it um but this one was written by Aileen, I believe
Starting point is 01:11:00 is how you would pronounce it, Brash McKenna, who ended up being one of the co-creators of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, a really good writer. Oh, that's fucking beautiful. Yeah, and I'm pretty sure she's back for the second for the sequel, but don't quote me on that's nice. Because we haven't seen it.
Starting point is 01:11:15 Yeah, we'll let you know. But it is out by the time this comes, Craig, it's coming out of this again. This drops the Tuesday after it. She is writing it again. It looks like. Okay, okay, good. I mean, so that's, you know, good, the same writing team and directing team there's hope here.
Starting point is 01:11:32 Buzz is good. Bill Gail already gave it three stars, so there's that. I don't know. We'll see what's going on. The thing about this is like she hears the speech that Tucci gives it's very well taken and she's like, oh, you're right, I got to do this. And like, what?
Starting point is 01:11:48 It's three to four minutes and like, oh my God, she's hot Anne Hathaway now. Yeah, I know. It's not three minutes. It's like, it's so quick that she's just like, oh, I listen to somebody. I am now perfect. I'm actually shocked they didn't give her glasses. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:12:03 It can't be quick, though, because she comes back with a full haircut. Meanwhile, poor Emily Blunt must have to pee so bad. You got a haircut while I was here. I have a urinary tract infection because you needed to get bangs. Are you kidding me? At work? Go home. There's not the orientation.
Starting point is 01:12:23 When I said, you had 15 minutes for a legitimate, two hours for a fucking haircut. Are there like nice, like slim diapers, like diaper singles? You wear it at the desk, you take it up, you just throw it into the trash bin, you know, the whole office smells like, piss. Yeah, dude, the fucking president's been wearing them for years, as a matter of fact. Those are not nice, slim ones. Those are thick. There's nothing nice and slim about that guy. Dumber brand diapers.
Starting point is 01:12:47 But the funny thing is, yeah, this is where she gets the glow up and whatnot, but not before Tucci's got to take her to the big company closet to be like, all right, you fat closet. what can I put you in? And he does, you know, she's like bitching about stuff and he's like, you'll take what I give you. But yeah, then we have to get to the beauty department and Lord knows how long that will take, he says to her. You're Anne Hathaway. It's, so you go to the beauty department.
Starting point is 01:13:12 We don't see the beauty department as far as I'm concerned. It seems like it goes directly from that to Emily Blunt and, uh, Tom. Giselle, uh, talking and then like, oh my God, Anne Hathaway comes in and she's hot now. Chris, I will you get, oh, weird. Those list of names, they're Emily Blunt, Giselle, Ann Hathaway. It seems like I've been to the beauty department. Here it is. Well, I mean, I guess the idea is, it sort of makes sense that they wouldn't realize that
Starting point is 01:13:39 Ed Hathaway is hot because she's, they're Emily Blunt and Giselle Bunchin. It's like, I don't know. Right. That's just, you know, a regular, regular lady to them, maybe. Mm-hmm. But, yeah, this is, they're calling her like a complete nutter disaster and she walks in and and this is the very famous Emily. Are you wearing the Chanel boots?
Starting point is 01:13:57 I am. You fucking bitch. And then we get all her great outfits to a, there are a lot of montage. Vogue, yeah. I know some people say maybe too many, but this is the Vogue one. Andrew was really dancing around to Vogue, you guys. What's a banger? A good song.
Starting point is 01:14:16 It's a great song, but you were dancing so much that it made my notes. Oh, really? Yeah. My fucking idiot husband. Was he doing shibbing? Yeah, that's what I'm questioning. It was not vogueing. No.
Starting point is 01:14:27 It was more of a shimmy than a I was doing kind of like a, you know, a little show. Like I was more kind of dancing like the fucking catty shack gopher. You know what I mean? But I wasn't doing the hand stuff. The vogging because I didn't want to be like
Starting point is 01:14:39 getting the old, you know, you're doing that the wrong direction. You know, that? Plus you were typing. I was typing notes also. Let out your inner Paris is burning. And do the vogue. God damn it.
Starting point is 01:14:49 Well, you save that for company, Chris, you know. I guess. That's fair. It was just me. Yeah, it's only what people are over. That's what I really pick it out. Yeah. But yeah, this is Adrian getting off work right here.
Starting point is 01:15:01 This is the Bubby's cameo right here. And I just had to write like, isn't it supposed to be a shitty place? I had my diatribe about Bubbies. That's fine. But the montage sort of ends out right here with her. She's wearing these fucking two foot long fuck me boots that she's got on here, and he's horny as the day is long right here. You get a double take from him like, is this my girl?
Starting point is 01:15:24 girlfriend and then later out throughout the whole goddamn movie they're doing this right Miranda's like is this my assistant this what's what's what yeah well that's it's a haircut she's still in Hathaway she was hot before she's still hot I guess she's using eyeliner more
Starting point is 01:15:40 I don't know like she the way the reason you know that Eric is right the reason you know that it's all successful is Miranda Presley like checks her out and is like yeah she notices that Andy is trying yes and does this sort of approval of pulling her glasses down a little bit or whatever slight
Starting point is 01:15:57 sort of physicality she has. But this is, man, okay, so we get back with these shitty friends that we're meeting up for a drink or whatever. And she, Andy comes in, sorry I'm late, I have a fucking crazy job. Here's a bag full a bunch of free expensive shit for you people. It's very important to point out at this moment
Starting point is 01:16:16 that she gives the one friend, what's her name? Lily. Lily, yes. This new Mark Jacobs bag. And Lily is like, oh my God, this is $1,900. She accepts it, it's fine. The fact that this woman has the audacity to, like, talk shit after you just were, like, talking shit about the job, you were just gifted this expensive handbag from that job? They all get at least $1,000 worth of stuff.
Starting point is 01:16:44 And then they're like, oh, your job sucks so much. Let's keep your phone away and try to get you fired. Yeah, fucking with the phone. You can get a $1,000 bag again if I get fired. Yep. The keep away. Exactly. What are we in the fifth grade here?
Starting point is 01:16:57 Come on. We cannot be in our mid-20s doing keep-away under any circumstances. I'm sorry, it's just not okay. Nugis are out and so is keep-away. How about that? How about wedgis? You bring up a good point, though, about, you know, that they're in their 20s, which is an important thing to sort of remember and that we're now so much older than this movie.
Starting point is 01:17:18 But it's not a time in your life when you're necessarily always the best friend that you want to be to your friend. Your job is demanding and you haven't earned enough, you know, clout there to be able to sort of say, I mean, this comes up again later with the birthday thing. I don't want to jump ahead. But all of that, you know, you're still trying to figure out the adult that you are. And generally, because your friends are your age, they're pretty sympathetic about that. Not if they're characters in the doubleworth. Then how dare you not be an amazing, perfect friend to me? And also just if A.
Starting point is 01:17:51 Hathaway gives me a $1,900 purse. I am fucking selling that immediately. In my 20s, forget about it. That motherfucker's on eBay. eBay exists, yeah. You will get fired immediately. Like, this is, that, that, like, this is an industry that looks after that
Starting point is 01:18:07 shit really close about, like, sample stuff being put on the market. Like, they don't, they don't fuck with that. It's as bad as us, like, you know, sharing screener links and shit like that. But wasn't because our industry does not give a fuck ultimately, but the, Passion people give a fuck.
Starting point is 01:18:24 I don't know, man. People give a fuck if their movie leaks on the internet. Don't worry about it. Leaking is another thing, yeah. I went to San Francisco for the first time. I took my wife to San Francisco for the first time off of a Marvel comic book variant that somebody that was just in the free sample pile. I'm like, yep, okay, that was cool.
Starting point is 01:18:40 Really? Really? What was the variant? It was like, I think it was like, it was way back when it was the Spider-Man when like Dr. Octopus turned into Spider-Man. If you remember, I think the superior Spider-Man storyline. And like Steve Ditko came out of retirement and did a variant. Whoa.
Starting point is 01:18:56 And it was like going for like a thousand dollars. And I was like, I will put this. I'll put this under eBay in a separate account, blah, blah, blah. I got a grand. Two tickets to San Francisco, Bing, Bang, Boom. That's that. Nice. Did, do you think it was a thing, Steve, where like, whoever was putting stuff out in the freebie pile, like, didn't know what they had there, didn't notice it or whatever?
Starting point is 01:19:17 At my job, where I worked in production, the freebie pile was for everybody. Like, it's just, every issue got its own thing. Oh, so there was going to be a copy of that in there no matter what. You just happened to have the good timing. Oh, wow. Yeah, exactly. That's amazing. So Andy goes to see Daniel Sun Hata's character here, James Holt.
Starting point is 01:19:40 I don't believe James Holt thinks that 9-11 was an inside job, but Daniel does. Is that right? So he's a truth. Yeah. At least he was. Him and Marion Cotillard shared info together. Okay. So they're on the right side of history.
Starting point is 01:19:55 Good for them. I would love to have a dinner with those two. He's still working. He's on that high maintenance. Is that what it's called? The Caitlin Wolster show. High potential. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:05 High maintenance was the Vimeo show that went to HBO about the weed dealer guy. Yeah. Never mind. That's a good show. Yeah, no. I never actually watched any of the HBO stuff, but I loved the two seasons that were just like on Vimeo. I thought they were really great.
Starting point is 01:20:19 But yeah, so he's this big designer and she's going to, I figure, she's got to give him something, I think, or drop something off or whatever. Pick something up. Apparently, because Anna Wintor is such a devious force of the fashion industry, everybody, there was supposed to be a bunch
Starting point is 01:20:35 of fun cameos, like, oh, that's Georgia Armani, that's whomever. Right. And, like, everybody was like, I ain't fucking crossing that lady. Yes, they didn't know how she was going to react. And apparently, that is not going to be the case in the sequel, because now that she reportedly likes the movie.
Starting point is 01:20:50 Oh man. So I hope that this is... It will be a little more cameo heavy, I think. See, so now I hope it doesn't get to the level of Happy Gilmore 2 where there was just like... Oh my God. Every 30 seconds.
Starting point is 01:21:01 Who the fuck knew there were this many golfers to begin with? What are we doing with this fucking movie? What? Do you don't like Eminem as Joe Flaherty's son? You don't think that's a whole other different part of that... That's a whole other different part of that... Boy, howdy. I'll never see it.
Starting point is 01:21:16 Don't worry. Everybody in that movie is the son of somebody from the first movie. Don't worry about it. So she's like settling into this party and he's like forcing this punch on her, which is kind of weird. It comes to nothing and it's, I'm over reading it. But it's a weird like, have this punch. The punch is deadly.
Starting point is 01:21:35 Like, I don't know, man. Can I have a glass of wine maybe? I don't trust it. I only become the mentalist when I get the punch in me. Well, here we go. Here's the mentalist himself. Simon Baker as Christian Thompson. These eyebrows
Starting point is 01:21:50 are on Steadway. He looks like Sabretooth. It's just really strange. He does. I hadn't thought of it, but he does. I never watched The Mentalist. I think this is the only thing I've seen him in. Oh, that's an interesting question. Yeah, I never watched a second of that 12 years show.
Starting point is 01:22:09 He's also in margin call, which people like, which I'm never seen. That's okay. He's in Land. Oh, previous episode Land of the Dance. Oh, right. He's kind of like the main guy in that. I mix him up with Thomas Dane. Those are two separate people, right? With blonde curly hair? Okay. And they both kind of have like middling nothing careers. Yeah. But Thomas Jane is in the
Starting point is 01:22:31 Thomas Jane is in the sweetest thing with Cameron Diaz and Christine Applegate. Yes. That could be an episode. I think that's definitely an episode. Yeah. He's in LA Confidential for a hot minute. Oh, yeah. He's like the kind of young guy that gets, like, forced into, like, getting murdered because he's gay or whatever's going on. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I had to look up, by the way, what Mark Paul was.
Starting point is 01:22:59 And I think that is actually a pretty solid movie. I forget, but he isn't Ride with the Devil, which is a good Angley movie, Good Western. Oh, yes, the Civil War movie? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes, that is, I just watched that recently for the first time. A fantastic movie 150. Also, Chelsea, you know why you might
Starting point is 01:23:18 confuse with Thomas Jane. In The Mentalist, he played Patrick Jane. Stop, that's too much. No, that's not fair. 151 ever-loving episodes of the Mentalist. When a show is on CBS, it just can go
Starting point is 01:23:35 forever. It really, because like, old people will just watch stuff. Like, my parents watched, like, all fucking 10 years of that Blue Bloods. And I think they're doing the Donnie Wahlberg spin-off. Oh, no. They're definitely watching that spin. Boston Blue or whatever the fuck.
Starting point is 01:23:48 Yeah, I think they're watching that. You're licking the inside of the baggie at that point. Let the drugs go. You can let it go. By the way, Simon Baker, Steve, not only all those mentalist episodes, 67 episodes of some show called The Guardian from 2001 to 2004, where he played a hot shot lawyer named Nick Fallon. I think that's also a CBS one if I remember.
Starting point is 01:24:10 makes sense. Hot shot lawyer Nick Fallen must perform community service at a child advocacy office or risk being disbarred. So it's kind of like the plot of the Mighty Ducks. Is this still on the air? No, it ended in 2004. So the ratings had fallen? Nice. It's him.
Starting point is 01:24:27 Raphael Sbarge is in the show. Dabney Colton was in the show. Never heard of it though. He's immediately very flirty with her, even though he's like this hot shot sort of, I don't know, a lot of these people have sort of real life equivalence. He's like, he's like a magazine writer.
Starting point is 01:24:46 Yeah, I don't know who he would like supposed to be. But he trolls these parties for impressionable young girls. I think it's kind of the idea here. He doesn't appear to have too much else. Well, it's a weird thing where he's like, yeah, I work in magazines. And she's like, oh, yeah, I read all your pieces. I read the thing you did in New York Magazine, or whatever it is, right? So it's weird then at the end of the movie where he's being positioned.
Starting point is 01:25:08 to work in... Well, that does get a decent amount of good writers to work, you know, write for it. If he's got some heat, maybe he could do it, you know? And then the other thing, Anne Hathaway just needs to be a little Andy here. It needs to be a little more savvy when you look like Andy and some guys like, oh, send me your packet. I'll totally read it. You need to know
Starting point is 01:25:30 what that is. And also, you know, do the entire thing. This guy's using his power in the industry, as leverage with her in a romantic sense. Yeah. It's very weird. It is weird. Oh, actually, around here is she's got to deliver the book. Yes.
Starting point is 01:25:46 That's like the next big movement of this. So the whole thing is Miranda takes the book at home to look at it, I guess, and someone doesn't drop it off late at night is the idea. She has to wait until it for 10. I mean, everything about this job, I'm like, thank God I never worked in magazines or fashion because I couldn't, staying at the office till 10.30 every night. Wait. Running around in stiletto heels, no thing.
Starting point is 01:26:08 Thank you. All of this dropped. No thank you. Yeah. A lot of the thankless stuff like that, I was kind of reminded of my, my early outings. I mean, finally, I was speaking, like, right in like 2006 when I started working, you know, for that film center up the way there. You know, there was a lot of like, like, I remember specifically I was, when I started there, I was like the print trafficker. So I had to make sure the movies all came in on time. And it was 35 millimeter prints back in the day. No fucking transferring, you know, big computer files or whatever. So there was. There was. a print coming from Australia for a screening
Starting point is 01:26:40 that Jonathan Demi was doing of a movie maybe it'll come to me. It was some wild ass Japanese genre movie and it was something like there was a delay in the shipping and I was so paranoid at that time of like fucking up and I'm going to lose my job and whatever
Starting point is 01:26:57 so I was like I'm going to stay here until it's an acceptable time in Australia to call these people to see what's going on with this fucking shipment that the tracking number wasn't working. And I stayed at work till like fucking 10.30 at night just waiting to make
Starting point is 01:27:14 a phone call. It was pathetic, man, and I shouldn't have done it, but like, you're so in this country, man, there's no fucking guardrails. Like, you're paranoid about losing your job and then everything falls apart after that. So you do crazy shit. I worked at an auction house and I was putting together an auction
Starting point is 01:27:30 catalog for a bunch of sports memorabilia. And it was like me and two other people. One was OJ. Simpson? I wish. I wish. I wish we had the juice on our team. But no, he was not there. But they had families. And I was like, you go to home to your family.
Starting point is 01:27:45 I will stay. So I was there. This is out in Long Island. And I ended up sleeping on a leather couch in my fucking work. I think I was up until like 1230 putting that fucking thing together. I mean, I've worked 10 to 10. 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. scheduling commercials at MTV. I mean, I've done some late nights too, but a consistent 10.30, that's my bedtime.
Starting point is 01:28:06 That was, yeah. Maybe it wasn't when I was 23, but... Sure. Sending the files to the printer, you'd stay there on Friday to like 10 o'clock or whatever. You'd rotate. Some would do it one week.
Starting point is 01:28:17 Someone would do it next, but like it would be... At least it's not, yeah. That's at least kind of nice. So you... You had to do that every once in a while? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Like sit around and your fucking thumbs just waiting. Oh, yeah, until this stuff gets approved.
Starting point is 01:28:29 Oh, that's crazy. You know what else is crazy? Miranda's sick townhouse, which... The exterior of which I wanted to ask you, Chelsea, because we rewatched all of it recently. Was this the... same exterior that they used for Mr. Sheffield's house on the nanny?
Starting point is 01:28:41 I don't know. It just, it looked like it was one of those kinds of houses. Sure, maybe, but I don't know. Is this Marin, is this when Andy gets attacked by an alien that attaches to her head and starts controlling her thoughts and opinions,
Starting point is 01:28:58 this purple hat that is just outrageous? The whole hat comes later, the other time that she comes to drop off the book. This is when she's haunted by the ghosts of those two little girls who lived in his house in the early 1900s. You can come upstairs and give the book to us. One of us lies and one of us tells the truth.
Starting point is 01:29:20 Try to guess which one I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. These might be some DSGs right now, some disgusting shit girls. Big time. Definitely. Also, real-life twin situation. Scary as fuck. Not good. You're right.
Starting point is 01:29:33 I mean, Steve, they look like two boogers next to each other. I can't stand them. And at first it starts It's innocent enough, right? Because Andy walks in and of course Emily has given all of these sort of vague directions Like when you go in put the dry cleaning in the closet And there's multiple doors
Starting point is 01:29:50 Put the book on the table with the flowers There's multiple table of flowers So the little girls are like pointing like It's that closet. So you're first like, okay, cool. You know, they're being helpful or whatever And then it's like, you can just give the book to us To us to us to us.
Starting point is 01:30:04 Come play with this. Play with us. Play with this. I mean, she fucks it. The one says like, oh yeah, Emily did that all the time. And the other one says she did. And I'm like, you saw that happen. Right. Pay a little attention.
Starting point is 01:30:18 Come on now. Just don't do this. That's a nudge for us, the audience, that she's going to get in trouble by going up the stairs. And she does. But it's just the absolute worst is like she goes up these stairs and it's just Miranda having a fucking argument with this husband. And the dude is like over it.
Starting point is 01:30:36 and she's very like vulnerable and apologetic right here. And then she, the dude sees her first on the stairs and she tries to like back away. And dude, as soon as Merrill turns around, I piss my own pants at this part. He stopped handing out your house key to your assistance and just come on in. What do you expect to happen eventually? I mean,
Starting point is 01:30:57 right. If you're too, if you're that paranoid and you're not going to use like a courier service, a messenger service at night, then just fucking wait your ass there. You know, I don't know. It's a pretty intense conversation.
Starting point is 01:31:08 I never told her to have the abortion. Like, it's just like, oh, my God. And again, Tim Nielstreet being amazing. Like, you can see the fire in her. She's so mad. It's great because, like, the face is still, most of the face is still sad from the argument, but the eyes are on fire.
Starting point is 01:31:30 Yes. Oh, my God. It's wild. One day the twins will find out their clones. No, I'm not going to tell the twins They used to be triplets. You agreed you would do that with a turn 18. We know the weird one ate the third one in the womb. So the next morning, yes, Emily is freaking out.
Starting point is 01:31:55 She's not happy. But it's Miranda gives her the ultimate test because she thinks it's impossible and this will get her, you know, easily fired and out of the way. And boy, does it date where we were culturally. Coming out in 2006, you have to get the manuscript for the unpublished Harry Potter book because my two ghost children need something to read on the train up to Mee Maugh's house. The final Harry Potter book, too.
Starting point is 01:32:25 There's no, like, it doesn't, so it ends up being the Christian Baker, like, knows the person who's doing the cover art. So, yes. That woman who is doing the cover art, would, be sued and fired. You could not release this book. She would be executed. This was the most serious
Starting point is 01:32:43 publishing fuck up in the world. When that last book was coming out, it was insane. There's no way. And this is another thing where I think, this is actually one where I think the book gets it a little more normal. It's not the last book, first of all. And it's also, it's coming out on
Starting point is 01:32:59 like Monday and she's supposed to get it Friday. Yeah. That's at least something. Right. Exactly. Let's go to Bards. noble, you know. She gets someone from Scholastic to give it to her. And like it's totally actual. This would be impossible.
Starting point is 01:33:13 She would be fired. There's no way that this could be accomplished. Oh, actually, I had them bound with the covers that look like the real. Oh, no, so you're just pirating a book now. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And it's, I would imagine, and I've never worked in book publishing, but I would imagine those kinds of things like a not yet published manuscript.
Starting point is 01:33:33 It would be a lot like scripts, right? And you would have like a little shadowy watermark. You know, this is uncorrected proof right in front of it. Right. There's just how there's possibly even like this was the one that was given to the fucking, you know, artists doing the covers. So this lady's just going down. What do you do?
Starting point is 01:33:51 They use whiteout to get rid of that uncorrected proof perfectly on every page. Because the twins, they want to have a, you know, a regular experience with this book. That's right. Oh, the twins won't read anything with watermark. Sorry. That would be amazing if she just turns around and turns her into the publishing police. Oh, you'll never work in this town again. You're gone.
Starting point is 01:34:15 But at least now the girls have the manuscript to the last book. And now, as Simon Baker will remind her for the rest of the movie, You owe me. That's right. You still owe me for the Harry-Comp. That's a fun, if you're in a flirty situation, if you just want, you know, you owe me for that. You could do that once and it's got to be light and you've got to back off immediately and be like, but not like in a way that's not weird. Neither of those are the case here.
Starting point is 01:34:43 Yeah. No, explicitly something weird. That's what I'm working on here, honey. Oh, go ahead. I was going to say the last Harry Potter. Maybe this is what you're going to say. Do you remember that night it came out? I was going to ask you about this.
Starting point is 01:34:57 Yes. One of the saddest things we've ever seen on public transportation. So the last, the night the last book came out, it was like a huge event. And like at midnight, bookstores were having events, you could get it and whatever. And so we were on the train back to my apartment at the time after it had come out. We didn't stay. Like, we were out for other stuff. We didn't care about the books at the time.
Starting point is 01:35:18 We were in our 20s, so we stayed out after midnight. Right. That's crazy. And there was this girl on the train reading it aloud to this group of friends. And we were like, that's so rude. It just came out. What if people, what if we were desperately going home to go read it or whatever? But I guess this group of friends is.
Starting point is 01:35:34 that's what they're doing or whatever. So then we get to my stop in Queens. She gets off alone. She was not with this group of people. She was just reading the book, using voices for all the characters. What? Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:35:49 It was fucking crazy, man. She was not with X-1. We thought, like, well, all right, this group of losers is doing that. Nope. She was preaching the gospel of 2007 at that point. That's how that works. She's insane.
Starting point is 01:36:01 I love her. another part of this that I think it's just a fucking hate crime against food is she's like you need it's two tests one you have four hours to get this unpublished manuscript of Harry Potter
Starting point is 01:36:15 but also you have 15 minutes to go get me at my steak lunch we get a little exterior of the real place Smith and Wolenski guys we were yelled at there one time that was a fucking 80 year old woman asked us to stop using such salty language asked me to stop
Starting point is 01:36:33 using it was very explicit that my language was the problem I was trying to to smooth everything over with that old battle axe
Starting point is 01:36:41 I was doing the prayer hands and everything and everything you asked her out like the whole thing you let Eric be in charge of making things nice at the old lady
Starting point is 01:36:52 I'm very polite if you don't know me he'd water right out on 3rd Avenue it's right in the street they got a huge fight oh man But yeah, so she goes, she convinces like Smith and Wollenski to open early, seems deleted, and gets this gorgeous fucking steak.
Starting point is 01:37:11 She places it right down. And fucking Miranda comes back. This is before she succeeds with the book. And it's just like, oh, I don't want that. I'm getting lunch with Irv. And she, you know, Anne's angry. She throws the whole steak played against the wall or the garbage or whatever. This is just a beautiful Smith and Wollenski steak, just getting thrown out.
Starting point is 01:37:31 hate crime. I'm getting lunch with Jeffrey Epstein. That's in my book. Okay. It's New York. It's 2006. We love J.K. Rowling. She's not a transphobe.
Starting point is 01:37:43 And I'm getting lunch with Jeff. New York financier, Jeffrey Epstein. Me, Jeff, and J.K. Are getting lunch. Absolutely went to one of the dinners with Woody. It's just got to be. Yeah, Trump Tower. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:56 Oh, definitely. Yeah, baby. Wow. I can't believe you got the new. Harry Potterman script You mind if I read it? Oh, and she brought it all the way to the train for your daughters? Oh, oh my.
Starting point is 01:38:11 Yeah, you do just get that shot of these two little DSGs just sitting on the train reading these things. Yeah. But it's great because Amanda is very impressed at this point and the best that this woman can do. Miranda. Miranda. What did I say Amanda? It's getting Melro on the brain here.
Starting point is 01:38:26 But Miranda, yes, is... Amanda is impressed by nothing. No, that's true. Nothing impressed. evil the um that's all which is basically what merrill streep gave to me in real life when i tried to get her out of a weird seating situation oh really again again at the fucking old place back in the day we're talking 2014 we're honoring jonathan demi so of course merrill's there they'd work together and uh there was a weird like the event is over and there was a big like crowd going one way and she's fucking merrill streep and she's not gonna you know walk out with the hoi poloi you know know, she's got to get to her range rover and get out of here or whatever. And I was like, oh, Ms. Streep, I think if you walk this way, there's a, you know, the chairs are out of the way.
Starting point is 01:39:10 You can go this way. I said, you can go this way, Ms. Streep. And as soon as I said that, like a fucking group of people just walked right where I pointed her to go. And she just looks at me and she goes, no, I don't think that'll work. And I just wanted to fucking curl up and die right there. I was like, I'm going to go down, lay on the train tracks. How about that? I would never recover.
Starting point is 01:39:29 I still clearly haven't. 12 years ago, I'm still haunted by it. Every time I see Merrill Street and something. That's rough. I mean, lines I also love, I will search every Blimpies in the tri-state area. Yes. That really, when Emily Blunt says that, I was very happy. But so, like, at some point, Adrian Grinier, like, she's like, oh, I fucking quit.
Starting point is 01:39:52 And he is all excited. He comes back. He's like, oh, I got Dean and DeLuca's special ingredients for this big dinner I'm going to make. you and then she's like, uh, I didn't because she's still working on the twins science project. Yes, you're not as you're painting little planets for
Starting point is 01:40:09 your boss's kids. I'm sorry. Draw the line somewhere. You're exactly right, dude. You got to draw that line of the fucking sand. This is pathetic. And you're not helping these girls with their education at all. Also making a solar system thing like that is not that hard. I mean, I guess they're ghosts, so maybe that's the problem.
Starting point is 01:40:25 We want to make our own solar system model, but we can't get our hands on the We can't hold objects. We're just ghosts. We're ethereal, don't you know? So that's tricky. I get it then. We can only push books across rooms.
Starting point is 01:40:39 We can't hold things. Well, Emily, the twins died at 1886. How are they supposed to do their own experience? Idiot. I like that after this we do see. This is another thing that I think the movie gets right over the book. We see Miranda just working. There are scenes without Andy.
Starting point is 01:40:59 You know, you get to sort of just see her. It's George C. Wolf also working with her at the museum, which is very cool. He's a huge theater guy. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. He's not the guy who plays Irv. No, no. I don't know if his character gets a name, but he works at the magazine with her.
Starting point is 01:41:17 Paul, apparently. Oh, Paul. Of course. So this is another, though, she uses, well, she doesn't really have to do anything, but it's like, she's like, oh, I know you're upset. about this, but would you be upset that I got this from work? And it's like a fucking titty extravaganza
Starting point is 01:41:37 with some lingerie here. And again, just, he falls for it because you would, like you're, you're, you know, you're not going to be fucking arguing about your Dean and DeLuca's special dinner after that, I guess. He didn't care that much. And also, I mean, like, you went to Dean DeLuca, you got Driscoll's strawberries, brother. That, you get
Starting point is 01:41:53 that in any, you get that in C-Town. You can, Driscoll's is everywhere. You're totally right. Yeah, one of the special ingredients you got from fucking D&D, man. Are they still around? Do we still have Dean and DeLuca? I think so. One or two at least. The one by
Starting point is 01:42:08 the New York Times building closed. They used to go there before screenings at the Empire 25. They were at Rockfeller Center, too, that I think is gone. One of Soho, I think it's still there. Yeah. They had a fabulous donut spread back in the day. I would go in, I mean, it was fucking Dean and DeLucco, so you're getting like a goddamn $8 donut.
Starting point is 01:42:26 But it was, it was worth it. I mean, maybe it is all gone. I don't know. Really? erased from existence. Cedarella is still around and those were usually like kind of if there wasn't one there was the other.
Starting point is 01:42:37 Yeah, you're totally right. Yeah. This is where they're doing the shoot in Central Park and I loved this. Some fucking on location. There's a lot of on location, New York in this movie. It's nice to see the park like this.
Starting point is 01:42:47 And true of the sequel too. They were filming all around. Oh, really? So that'll be neat to see. That's good. That's good for here. And she's like now getting good at her job. Right.
Starting point is 01:42:57 Like that's the idea. Like this is the confidence montage kind of a thing. She like Tucci right here So much so the confidence that Tucci During the shoot scene is like Oh, when you go back to the office Tell Miranda that I changed this to that or whatever And she Andy's response is like kind of a flipping like
Starting point is 01:43:15 Oh great or like you know Oh I can't wait to hear what Miranda say about that Is basically what the intention is behind the comment And the Tuch is like Whoa who do you think you're fucking talking? He's like excuse me like don't get too fucking comfortable You're still talking to the Tuch here and I told you that I had to make a professional change about something,
Starting point is 01:43:34 and I don't need you bitching about it. Right. It's basically the idea. She's doing her job so well, and Emily Blunt is faltering by coughing. Well, they have Emily Blunt coming into the office looking like it's like the first scene from Outbreak. She's holding the monkey for something. This is when we get the Miranda work scene without Andy. I was too excited and jumped ahead to that.
Starting point is 01:43:59 It's a big planning meeting. the florals for spring ground breaking this is it starts with Amanda or Jesus Christ it starts with Miranda Miranda Prisely is the character pulling the tubin piece from the issue did you guys catch that oh no I didn't yeah dude we will not be tubing on runway this month
Starting point is 01:44:19 oh boy does size matter investigation but for tube was there any reports on that when that hit were we talking size or girth or anything I don't think it was just the impropriety of the state. It's kind of the lead. I think anything to be discussed was not seen in the frame. It was just more that what was going on.
Starting point is 01:44:42 Maybe I'm wrong. I never watched it. I don't, was there a video? I don't think. It was like a Zoom, right? To them, yeah, they could have seen it. Yeah, I don't know if there was a screen recording. I think it was like he was like pumping it off camera,
Starting point is 01:44:55 but you can tell what he was doing. Right, but I don't think you saw. I don't think he actually stood up in his cockles in front of the camera. It's just heavy breathing is illegal? No. You can fucking see. If you're obviously doing that on a work call. People know.
Starting point is 01:45:08 Interesting. Yeah. Okay. I was just curious. So keep that in mind. We're keeping an eye on you, dude. I was just curious if there were any reviews of the acts while the allegations were coming up.
Starting point is 01:45:19 It's just interested in techniques overall. You know, it's just like style. You know, this old dog means a new trick. I'll say that much. Two things. It was the most horrible work call I've ever been on. guy was totally unprofessional and his cock was really crooked. Right
Starting point is 01:45:34 dish, dude, dish. Like a 45 degree angle on that thing like he fucking fell face down while having a boner. I know, I know this is going to be unfair, but it looked like it smelled. Just be frank about this. Could have been the Zoom call quality. I don't know. It just looked like it was a stinky thing.
Starting point is 01:45:52 Speaking of stinky, you know what else? Stunk Nate's birthday party. I have so little patience for adults who take birthday too seriously. You know what? Here it is. I'm going to be justice for Nate here.
Starting point is 01:46:05 If you're, because if it's a thing where, like, A, you're already, this relationship is circling the toilet, right? It's just, we are on round three or four of the circling of the toilet. But, and someone says they're going to be at your birthday, your girlfriend, your partner, your boyfriend, whatever, and they ice you. You can be a little salty about it. A little salty, but like, you get pulled into a work. Sometimes people have to work on, we've missed each other's birthdays.
Starting point is 01:46:33 We've done it. We've missed anniversaries. You just do Nate's birthday observed. Right. But that's the problem is he's got like a Charlie Brown rain cloud over his fucking head. It's just moping. That's worse. It's the floppy haircut, you know, the strokes were king.
Starting point is 01:46:51 You know, this was sort of what we did back then. But him brooding by the TV and she comes home looking like Annie Hathaway, who's finally hot now in this movie. She brings him He had to have his goddamn cupcake But no, he won't have it I'm going to bed He makes a big show about it Linus is playing piano in the corner
Starting point is 01:47:10 Christian shows up at the benefit too And tries to say Oh come in and have a drink with me And some publisher or whatever Yeah And she says no, it's my boyfriend's birthday She's trying She is trying
Starting point is 01:47:23 She is trying And it's also like And also this is what a bad This is what a bad corporate cultures do you need to tell people that you need to take sick days because if not they're going to be fucking sneezing and shitting all over your fucking office yeah exactly and you know the thing about it is yeah she is she's fucking sneezing all over this meeting and whatever and you think like the the answer here is Andy you have to work because Emily is disgusting and I can't bring her to this fucking benefit at the natural history museum no they're both they're both there's like what do we fucking do it's only so that when when Emily fucks up in the moment and doesn't recall the ambassador and the new wife The ambassador and the woman he left his wife for Rebecca. Yeah, hell yeah, Rebecca. But like, it's this situation is only so that this is the usurping moment, right?
Starting point is 01:48:12 Andy is able to be like, that's the ambassador. And then like Emily Blaine, it's funny because she's like, thank you. And it's like, no, no, no, no. She just fucking signed your death warrant, lady. You don't even know, you're fucking thanking her. No, no, no, no. You should have stayed home in the days leading up to this with some fucking vitamin C and some other immune stuff and got better.
Starting point is 01:48:30 So you didn't fuck up, but you fucked up, and it's the beginning of the end for you, Emily. Or, you know, it would be funny in this scene, like, oh, that's the governor's wife. That's John Milton from the devil's advocate. Yeah, that's Al Pacino's character. That's the actual devil. He's your five o'clock.
Starting point is 01:48:47 Miranda. So good to see you. Oh, you're looking ravishing as always. Oh, oh. I love fashion. Yeah. Give me the art cartoon. I would like you to meet my son
Starting point is 01:49:01 or trying to create an antichrist together. I guess we're both wearing prodder together because he's the devil and I am too. I'm the devil-in-law. I used to be a lawyer who defended a guy who ate a thousand pancakes. Also the other thing here is we meet the French runway editor comes in
Starting point is 01:49:24 and we just learn, oh yeah, Miranda hates that woman. And it's after this all goes so well that while Andy is wearing the world's worst hat, as you pointed out, clearly. I mean, it's up there with, like, Kieranightly's terrible hat and Love Actually. I think it's sort of kind of bad a head. Page boy, like 2000s hat. Like, you look like you should be selling newspapers for five cents a pop on the street corner with that shit. But, yes, she's world's worst hat. Paris is the most important week of the entire year.
Starting point is 01:49:56 we're learning, but uh-oh, Emily is no longer going to Paris and Andy is going in her place. Andy, for her part here, does try to get out of it and is like, you know, Miranda, Emily's put her whole life into this. Like, have you seen her computer at the office? It's the saddest thing ever. The desktop is just a picture of the art of the dreamtrium. Like, that's how bad she fucking wants this. And Miranda's like, no, she's gross and has germs and didn't tell me about the ambassador. So she's out. which is fine
Starting point is 01:50:26 but also this is not a moral problem on Andy's part like hey Emily's treated her like shit since day one and her boss is telling her to do it hey that I don't hate the player hate the game if that's lived by the sword die by the sword you ain't go to Paris precisely and I don't feel bad about it at all
Starting point is 01:50:40 that's why Miranda's whole thing at the end of the movie is like well you already became me you did exactly what I did when you did it to Emily and it's like no it's not the fucking same thing if if Miranda Priestley lost the job at run she's still fucking rich and will land somewhere.
Starting point is 01:50:57 Andy is a nobody who has to fucking desperately hang on to this job because otherwise she's ruined and has to start all over. It's not the one to one that Miranda thinks it is. But it's not just Miranda. Everyone acts like she's this terrible person who's deciding to go to Paris. Lily gets mad at her. Yes. And again, she didn't, I mean, granted, we're watching the movie in there not, but like she
Starting point is 01:51:20 didn't have a say. Right. No, I agree. It's a very weird Like there's other ways to write this as a moral quandary I don't see this as one No It's not your boss told you to do something
Starting point is 01:51:32 And it's last man and whatever But again it's the United States of America You cannot afford to get fucking fired Two years from this point The goddamn economy is gonna collapse She works in magazines and publishing in 2006 Like it's still not quite 2008 But like the writing was on the wall
Starting point is 01:51:50 Like you don't Yes You're not you know willy-nilly about a job in a magazine. Exactly. It feels exactly like the thing with Miranda, the flip flopping that they do at the end, they're like, they press too hard on trying to make you
Starting point is 01:52:02 either like them or hate them. And every time they do it, it's way too much. They overheat it. Yeah. So now you see how the tide is turned, right? Miranda is dropping off her shit on Emily's desk and no longer
Starting point is 01:52:18 on Andy's desk, you know, all that good stuff. The dumb thing, though, is this is like a bit too much. The movie doesn't need it. Like, you got fucked over because you're sick and you're not going to Paris. Yes. And then the movie's like, well, that's not. And she could get well again or something.
Starting point is 01:52:34 We better fucking run her down with this taxi cat. I love this. In case. I wanted the full meet Joe Black here. I wanted them to really. Oh, then fucking the double dose of car hitting? She does get nailed by this fucking car, though. It's a good stunt.
Starting point is 01:52:49 You didn't expect to stunt in this movie, but holy fit. I'll tell you what, just to put it here, because it doesn't matter anywhere else. But Steve, you said stunts. And I remember when we watched the credits the other day being like stunts, lead stunt guy, Danny Iiello the third. Ooh, nice. Yeah. How about that? So was he, Emily, getting up his carbs everywhere?
Starting point is 01:53:10 Because it's Danny I. Yellow the third with a wig on, getting rocked by that taxi cab. Gotcha. Yeah, like she goes to visit Emily in the hospital and Emily is devastated. But again, like, I kind of don't care about Emily. She's treated me like shit this entire time. Exactly. Like it's a villainous character, folks.
Starting point is 01:53:27 She got comeuppance and it's awesome. The book is again really different here. First of all, the Emily character is not an antagonist. They're kind of friends, which I don't think works as well. I mean, yes,
Starting point is 01:53:37 for real life, it does, but it's not as interesting. And she has mono, so she, like, unequivocally cannot go. Right.
Starting point is 01:53:46 So that's fun. She doesn't get hit by a car. There's no, yeah. That's good. The car is just very silly. But the stakes of it are then a whole lot. less interesting.
Starting point is 01:53:53 Right, exactly. Yeah, because now it's like, you definitely can't. You're in a fucking full leg cast. Like, obviously now you're not going.
Starting point is 01:53:59 Right. So we go really quickly before she leads to Paris, which is pretty much the end of the movie. We have the gallery opening scene, and this is Lily's big gallery opening. And this is the craziest thing I've ever heard.
Starting point is 01:54:12 She's like, well, my gallery opening. She says to Andy, the way I've laid it out, you start in the back and work your way forward. What are you talking? So I have to walk through your entire exhibition to get to the start of it is what you're saying.
Starting point is 01:54:27 That seems a little like it doesn't make any sense. I mean, I'm a terrible curator. Or the art that I'm walking past whilst I do it. You know what I mean? Yeah, exactly. Is there a blindfold? Is someone going to lead me to fucking back? What are you talking about?
Starting point is 01:54:38 Which hallway should I use? I think this is why usually gallerists aren't who program shows when they're 23 years old. Exactly. Perhaps. Then they say, oh, walk to the back and work your way from it. It's again, a sort of like real like, okay, you guys all have amazing jobs. Like, oh, you work in a gallery, but you're programming shit or not programming. Yes, it's a huge job.
Starting point is 01:55:00 Yeah, yeah. Maybe the first and last for Lily here. Exactly. I don't think she's getting a second chance. She does appear in the sequel, according to IMDB. So we'll see what she's up to you then. Well, in this, she spots the mentalist give Anne Hathway a little kiss on the cheek and she flips the fuck out. Like, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:55:17 Are you Nate? You're Nate's friend. You're not her friend, right? What's going on? I mean, I think it's reasonable to get, like, annoyed that you see your friend kind of cheating. Sure, yeah. Friends with both. But you can call your friend out.
Starting point is 01:55:31 Yeah, it's also true. I also think that's not kind of cheating. That's like a little kiss. I mean, like, oh, but it looks like, oh, what's, you can ask. You can ask what's going on, but I wouldn't do it right there in the middle of a gallery. What's going on is one thing, but the freak out of, I don't understand who you've become now. You're this glamazon. I don't get this Andy.
Starting point is 01:55:50 It's not like you walked in. She's sucking his cock. She's totally overreacts. And I will need that. Okay, then I'll leave. And I will need that $1,900 purse back. Also, this gallery doesn't make sense. Also, your breakthrough idea about the layout was really dumb.
Starting point is 01:56:05 Why didn't you just let me walk through it that way? Why didn't you set it up that way? Wouldn't that have been smarter? Like, right when I enter and, like, go into it. You don't get me? I don't fucking get this gallery set up. How about that? How's that?
Starting point is 01:56:18 So she storms out of the gallery, Andy does, and she's got to fight with Adrian Grinier outside. And this is when they kind of break up a little bit because he's like, he used to make fun of the runway people. Now you become one of them. Like she fucking joined the Nazi party. It's so insane. How dare you enjoy your job and find pleasure in something? It's one thing if you are showing concern because your partner or your girlfriend has changed a lot, has seemingly flipped in a certain way.
Starting point is 01:56:47 you don't again you do not frame it like this and be super judgment judgment judgmental about it you go home and you be like hey you know I've been noticing but but but but but but but and you talk about it you don't just be like well fuck you like it's a selling out shit and you're just like I don't care I don't be judgmental about the mentalist yes this was around when you guys used to see a train friend yeah at the levy at the levy in Williamsburg we saw me a couple of times yeah yeah and it was it was at the height of Entourage too, I think.
Starting point is 01:57:18 So it wasn't around this time then. It was later. No, I guess probably around this time because Entourage was before this movie. He wouldn't have been on this movie if it wasn't for Entourage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a good point. Yeah, And Arirage has started 2004, so this is like what it's happening. It's going on.
Starting point is 01:57:36 September 11th, 2011. If you had asked me, though, I would have said that was done in 2009. But I guess it just ran a lot longer than I watched it as the idea. Oh, and then the movie. We did. the movie in 2015, previous episode. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, the great Ronda Rousey line.
Starting point is 01:57:53 Someone's fucking in there. Yeah, she can be in movies, everybody. That's... But her punishment for being such a terrible person is... Gets to go to Paris. Harry. She has to see you, too. That is a punishment.
Starting point is 01:58:07 New you two. Pretty bad. The city of blinding lights is an okay tune. I will defend that a little bit. I'm not going to say on the whole album that it's on. Not for me. It's fine enough to. But she's staying at the plaza, like, it's a real deal. She's going to be a big runway show.
Starting point is 01:58:22 We get the Toch talking with Heidi Kloom right here. Another person brave enough to be in this movie. Yeah. Brave enough. I think they were very worried how Anna and the war was going to react. And Valentino is the only person playing himself as a designer. RIPD. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:58:42 Yeah. It is a Valentino show, I think, that they're at. Yes. He's like, oh, did you like the show? Little assistant girl, did you like it? Look at my big tan. So here's a question I had. Only two days of the production took place in Paris.
Starting point is 01:58:55 This is from the MDB trivia, and I think it's elsewhere. Yeah. It was too expensive to fly Merrill Street to Europe, so her scenes were shot in the U.S. Is she King Kong? Do we need a barge? Like, what are we talking about? Like, how is it first class?
Starting point is 01:59:09 They pointed her to the airplane like Andrew did, and she said, I don't think so. Oh, that's not going to work. Celebrity pricing? Like, what the fuck? What the fuck? I guess because none of her parisines are outside, so it's more that it's like, we can save this money.
Starting point is 01:59:28 I see. The I need to be trivia says that they couldn't afford it, which again, yeah, Steve, I was like, speaking of entourage, like, is she flying with 20 people on a jet? Like, what is the demand there? Because she ain't fucking flying commercial. I'm sorry to tell you. You will need a boat, and she should be packed in the earth of her home. So that is a little expensive.
Starting point is 01:59:48 She might feed on the crew during the voyage. We strongly suggest that when you have her in there, laying amongst her own homeworld dirt, you nail the coffin shut because she will get out and start wreaking havoc and eating your crew. Of course. If you find a lot of dead rats with puncture wounds in them, I would say that Merrill Streep has gotten out.
Starting point is 02:00:13 Yeah. When they get to Paris, a bunch of plague rat should descend on the oh yes so this is where Simon Baker pulls the oh hey welcome to Paris you still owe me for Harry Potter
Starting point is 02:00:29 oh you fucking broke up with your boyfriend what time should I pick you up tonight I would he does this whole thing about like I have this nice little place at the 7th and I could take you to a falafel restaurant that will change your life
Starting point is 02:00:43 I would kill this person where stood. I'll tell you what, when we were in Paris, we tried to go to that falafel place. There is a very famous, he's referencing that place. Closed for business that day. They were on vacation. Yeah, they were on holiday, those sons of bitches. We also just, it's a really interesting part of Paris. We literally turned around and there was another great falafel place right there. It is surrounded, I think, by people being like, you don't want to wait in that line. Come get a falafel. It's kind of like in Philly when you're trying to get off-brand cheese steaks. Right. But she can't immediately
Starting point is 02:01:15 go out to dinner with this guy because guess what? The luncheon seating is all wrong and we need to move Snoop Dog to Miranda's table. Yes. This thing is so good. It is. She's really, really good. It turns out Merrill Streep can really act. Who knew?
Starting point is 02:01:32 She's devastated by finding out that her, this is going to be her latest divorce. It didn't work out with the other guy. Stephen isn't coming. She's got no makeup on. Yes. She's been crying all. day and like just clearly very upset. She like kills it with this monologue and also
Starting point is 02:01:51 Hathaway for her part. All she has to do is be horrified that this woman is still thinking about work in this moment. Yes. And she does that because Andy is like what do you mean you want to still fucking push ahead with this stuff like okay well do the seating chart I guess. Uh huh and so and you know what dude check off Snoop Dogg you mentioned him being at that fucking benefit. I better see Snoop Dogg at that benefit. Well you know now that he's all big with like, you know, NBC and the Olympics and stuff. Like I know that this movie is Fox Disney and whatever, but like he's, you know, I could see there's a Martha Stewart cameo.
Starting point is 02:02:26 Oh, my friend might be interested in those sunglasses in some Snoop Dog. You know, you got a little cameo going. Sure. Sure. I'd be happy with that. But the Tooch drops by. He's very impressed that she has picked out her own wardrobe. He's got a good, my work here is done kind of line.
Starting point is 02:02:43 He's also very impressed that she's now a size four. instead of a size six, which is gross. Oh, right. Oh, we didn't mention the worst remark he has her, I think anyway, when he's going to give her something to wear to that benefit, and she's like, oh, could I fit in this? And he goes, oh, maybe if I've got a can of Crisco and some fishing wire around.
Starting point is 02:03:04 Amen. You catty bitch. Good God. Like she's Jabadoo Hut. Seriously. Wheeled around on a platform. She should. Maybe that's why they couldn't afford marriage.
Starting point is 02:03:15 Strip because she only travels by platform and they were like What's this fucking platform on a plane? I think all these ladies are nice and belong on pedestals, not platform. That's a good point. But he explains, thank you. That James and he are, James is opening his own line and he has tapped Tuch by dint of Miranda to be his number two and like, it's like I'm finally, he's like the genie at the end of Aladdin.
Starting point is 02:03:39 Like, I'm finally free of this. You know what I mean? In 18 years, I can call the shots in my own life. Oh, what, it's not happening? Thanks. Oh, it's not happening. Great. Oh, that's nice.
Starting point is 02:03:48 By the way, this Tucci character and the genie from Aladdin, both big on wrist jewelry. That's true. By the way, Tuch's gigantic ring. Someone get me the line on this. Let me know. I want to get a big fucking weird ring. Dude, because this is like, it's like above mafia, like old Italian guy rings. This is like Rip Taylor shit.
Starting point is 02:04:10 It's awesome. And it almost, I don't know for sure, but it looks like it's almost like Lockett style. we're like it can open. That's where the cocaine goes. Yeah. But yeah, he's very common. Oh, Miranda knows all about it. This, that and the other thing.
Starting point is 02:04:24 So she goes off. Andy does have dinner with the mentalist here. And this is where he's like, oh, you're being nice about Miranda. So you've crossed over to the dark side. And she's like, listen, I can't tell you, but she's getting a fucking divorce. Like, I'm not going to be shitty about this woman. And he's just being shit. And dude, this guy, this fucking guy.
Starting point is 02:04:44 They're walking in Paris. This guy's quote, Gertrude Stein. He's really laying it on sex. God damn it, dude. But he says you've turned over to the dark side. She's like, well, you know, blah, blah, blah. What does that bother you? And she goes, no, it's incredibly sexy.
Starting point is 02:04:59 Oh. Let's have Darth Vader's sex. Let me feel your glass once again. Oh, another bottle, Monsieur. They walk outside, smoochers happen. They smooch. And then she wakes up late. They fucking back.
Starting point is 02:05:14 bangs. Oh, they definitely bang. I just said they fucking bang. I'm just saying they definitely bang. Oh, Eric, you were saying they fucked and bang.
Starting point is 02:05:24 Oh, I get it. Fucking banged. That's a double fuck. It is fucked up though. I don't know. I mean, you can kind of read this however you want,
Starting point is 02:05:33 I guess. But like he plants this kiss on her and she's like, no. And then he's like, but kissing. And she's like, I've had too much wine. And he's like,
Starting point is 02:05:42 but kissing. And then she's like, well, I guess I'm, out of excuses. Listen, if a woman tells you, I guess I'm all out of excuses, that's not primed for sexual activity. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 02:05:52 She said no, a whole bunch of times. Yeah. Not for this guy. And I'm sure when he orgasms, he's like, you still owe me for the Harry Butterbook. I mean, fucking deathly fucking hallows. It's France. He can do light sex crimes. I mean, fucking Roman Polanski's in the suite next to theirs.
Starting point is 02:06:11 But yeah, so she's hung over and late for work. And uh-oh. as she's like scrambling to get out of his Pietater here she knocks over a bag and a mock up of American runway cover falls out with Jacqueline being named as the editor-in-chief on it and yes this dude is coming in to run
Starting point is 02:06:29 editorial he says and Miranda is about to get fucked by this whole thing all the while this whole see we got to point out Simon Baker's just in this towel he's not a just a towel actor he's not a bad looking guy but he's not walking around doing a scene and a towel kind of guy.
Starting point is 02:06:47 I appreciate the confidence. You know what? I don't see it enough. Yeah, that's true. That's true. If that guy on Seinfeld could do it, I guess. It's just to underline the banging, and it's to be like he just washed his own filth off of himself. Yes. That's what we're supposed to pick up from this. Clean off the sin, as you must.
Starting point is 02:07:03 Yes. But he's like, you know, he's like, I got this great job. And, you know, I'll do well by you here and yada, yada, yada. We'll be like king and queen together. but Miranda's treated me like shit for a whole year. I can't do anything wrong to her. I don't get it. I just don't get it.
Starting point is 02:07:22 I don't care. Okay, cool. The urgency I do not get. It sounds like she's getting her just desserts and I'm cool. I didn't do anything. Andy didn't do anything. It's like, all right, cool. No, it's clearly a long time coming, it sounds like.
Starting point is 02:07:35 But yes, the race is on to stop this. The race is on, but she does also stop to put on a brand new outfit and redo her hair. She's pretty frantic, but not that. Well, it is fashion week. You can't be walking around. No. Actually, that's a question I had. Maybe I just missed it. Do they actually say fashion week? I don't think they do. It's like, is Paris Fashion Week like a copyrighted thing? I understand that I probably know the most about fashion on this call right now, but I don't know. I don't know the answer to this. But anyway, so yes, this luncheon is happening and she's racing to, you know, get Miranda the information here.
Starting point is 02:08:12 doesn't get there in time she gets locked out of the room Irv and Miranda having him and she's fucking banging on the door which is clearly a big no-no but uh-oh we get to this lunch in and Miranda she gives this big a Tucci
Starting point is 02:08:28 the scene starts with Tucci giving a really nice introduction to Miranda then Miranda gets up there and she's supposed to introduce James Halt and this whole thing but she drops uh-oh that Jacqueline is going to be the one that does this creative director job with James Holt so Miranda can stay at runway.
Starting point is 02:08:45 And this is the Tuch, the saddest fucking line. When the time is right, she'll pay me back. I hope we learn in part two that she fucking did because the best character in the movie's getting the shaft. And it gets even sad. Andy asks, you sure about that? And he goes, no, but I hope for the best, I have to. Yikes.
Starting point is 02:09:07 And Stanley Tucci kills it. Tuch, dude, he's one of the all-time great. It's another person who wasn't really commercial before this movie. No, no. God bless that, now he is. After that, you can put him in Transformers movies. You could put him anywhere. There you go.
Starting point is 02:09:21 It's jammed him right in there. It's not just jury duty with Pauly Shore anymore for this guy. Got it. But you know what? Not so bad. Jury duty? Yeah, pretty good. He too is great in Julie and Julia.
Starting point is 02:09:34 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Right. Like the husband? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes. I forgot. That's a movie that if they just did.
Starting point is 02:09:41 the Merrill and Tucci. Julia is better than Julie. Yeah. Because that Amy Adams stuff is just atrocious in that movie. And I love her, but that's, is there some pact with the devil that Amy Adams has with whatever fucking manager she works with? I mean, this is just. She makes some really good ones, but then there's also some others.
Starting point is 02:10:02 Real stinkers. It's starting to feel a little desperate for like trying to get the awards thing. Yeah. Just a little bit. I will say. Right, right, right. The woman in the window should have stayed there, man. That's what, that's for sure.
Starting point is 02:10:13 That's not a fucking woman in the garbage can. That movie is awful. She's real lousy and dear Evan Hansen, too. Oh, no. Everybody's lousy in that movie. Oh, God, that's a terrible movie. It's so fucking bad. I was looking to see where the Tooch was around this time.
Starting point is 02:10:32 And my God, Tuch's 2006, lucky number Sleven. Yikes. this an episode of Monk that movie The Hoax with Richard Gehr. Oh yeah. It's a Lassa Halstrom movie. That's not bad.
Starting point is 02:10:50 That was also 06 and then six episodes of a television show called Three Pounds where he played Dr. Douglas Hansen. Sure. Not Evan Hansen. An arrogant neurosurgeon takes on a new partner that is a nine episodes and canceled Stanley Tucci medical drama.
Starting point is 02:11:08 Love that. So she confronts her in the car basically like, hey, you can't, I can't believe you did this to Stanley Tucci. And she's like, oh, but you're evil too. And this is when, you know, just if she got a devil tail coming out of it, oh, fuck, she was a devil the whole time. Oh, yeah. Better movie. No, probably not. She just like Anne Hathaway turns her head and it's like Steve Martin looking at John Candy in planes, trains and automobiles.
Starting point is 02:11:35 Just cackling maniacally. the car's on fire. Half vanity, my favorite sin. Yeah, that's true. And again, to how Meryl Streep elevates this, the line she has to Andy, because she's like, oh, I don't know if I want to be you. And she goes, everybody wants this. Everybody wants to be us.
Starting point is 02:11:54 The line was everybody wants to be me, but Meryl Streep changed it to us. Oh, that's interesting. And it's so much better. It is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, no, it definitely is. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:12:04 She's one of the best. Great, smart lady. She's great. says, I see a great deal of myself in you, which Andy spits on the floor of the car. I mean a shower. But so Andy, she literally leaves Miranda holding the bag. Like Miranda's going into this event. She turns around to probably make some insane demand of this poor girl. And uh-oh, I've been abandoned on the streets of Paris. I'm getting fucking divorced. Nothing's going. Like, the only thing I have, literally, it's kind of great, right?
Starting point is 02:12:34 the only thing that this woman has left in her life is this fucking job. Everything else is gone. Andrea, would you hand me my baggie of only pineapple gummy bears? What? She's left. Dude, do they make or bags of only pineapple gummy berries? If you call the manufacturer,
Starting point is 02:12:53 you can get them to send you a single bag of the actual one flavor. You can do that. But you have to go through the humiliation of calling them and asking. Maybe. Maybe they'll do it on. line now. I don't know. You could also buy a hundred bags of gummy bears and then just sort them out yourself.
Starting point is 02:13:10 Then you're like that psycho Dave Franco character and regretting you, getting the fucking jolly ranching. Speaking of regretting you though, man, Ann Hathaway coming up is going to be, watch out for Barity, you guys. I mean, that'll probably be worst of whatever. It's another Colleen Hoover deal, right? It's another
Starting point is 02:13:26 Colleen Hoover. It's bonkers. Oh, you read the book already? Yeah. What's it about? That's the only Colleen Hoover book I've ever read. It's, Dakota Johnson is a ghost writer who has to come in. Anne Hathaway is in a coma and Dakota Johnson is going to finish this like series of books she's written. But there's twists. And for a long time I was like, did I just hate, I read it in like February 2020. And I was like, did I just hate this book because the world was ending and I didn't understand it? And then I was like, no, this book is insane. And the movie is such a bad idea and it's going to be a lot of fun. Well, it wasn't there a note? Is that, um, uh, Michael Monroe,
Starting point is 02:14:04 movie. That's another one where she's drunk dry. Oh, you're right. There was another comment. Yes, that one I didn't see. I haven't seen it yet. Either by here, it's very bad, which I'm very excited about. She writes some wacky, cookie books.
Starting point is 02:14:16 She sure does. Oh, here we go. Verity already has an R rating, 2026. It would have to be rated R. If anything, I'm shocked, they got it to that. Because they're kissing it. Oh, Chris. One ticket sold.
Starting point is 02:14:31 That's one ticket sold. I mean, I don't know how much they'll change, but. It's wild. How about this bit of information, though? Josh Hartnett? No, is the Hartnett in the movie? Oh, there he is. Oh, there is. No, no, no. I was going to say, directed by Michael Schoilalter. What?
Starting point is 02:14:46 Oh, yeah, well, there you go. Yeah, he's, you know. He makes some decisions. He does. He makes movies, man. Wow. Major motion pictures. You know what? I'll say this. What else did he direct? I did the Tammy Fay movie.
Starting point is 02:14:57 That was, you know, it was okay. It was not funny for Oscars, you know, not for directing. There was something else kind of lousy that he did pretty recently. Oh, sure. Yeah, we watched it. He did that, oh, what fun, Christmas movie. Oh, yeah. With Michelle Pfeiffer, one of the worst holiday movies we watched last year.
Starting point is 02:15:13 It was fucking awful. Yeah. But he did that movie with Sally Field that I actually thought was kind of good. My name is Doris or something like that. Yes. Yeah. But he did like The Lovebirds, which was a movie. I believe you and I turned off.
Starting point is 02:15:28 I can't believe he's who's making. No, Lovebirds we watched. That was Camel and Johnny. Yeah, oh, we did watch the entire thing. Yeah, yeah. It wasn't great. I think it's Issa Ray. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 02:15:36 So, uh, Merrill Street beats a shit in Paris. And, uh, Andy fucks off to America. Yes. That goes back to Nate. It's sort of like the final bit here. You know, she's, she's apologizing to this guy. I turned my back on my friends like, no, you didn't. But yes, this is where he's like, oh, I flew to Boston.
Starting point is 02:15:55 I'm a sous chef at some restaurant. Flying to Boston from New York. Come on. I know. I become a little rich boy over here. Seriously. The motherfucker's crying in poverty working out of shitty restaurants. this that you're flying up to Boston?
Starting point is 02:16:06 Come on. The planet is dying. Think of your carbon footprint. Also, it's 2006. You're a poor 20-something going from New York to Boston. Hello, $30 fucking Fung-W bus. That's what you're doing.
Starting point is 02:16:16 Or even Bolt Bus had just been invented around there. You could do that for like five bucks. Oh, the old bus. What a nightmare. Pol Bus, Mega Bus, all those bus games. Medibus is the other one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 02:16:26 Busting up to Boston. Hey. But this is where he's like, oh, well, you know, we could maybe make something work in Boston. And she's like, oh, okay, open invite for Dick. That's fine. But I did have a job interview here today.
Starting point is 02:16:42 Yes, it's like I'm probably staying in New York, but let's see what happens kind of a deal. You know, it's your classic year in your 20s. You're talking to that guy. We're talking. We're in a situation ship. That hadn't been invented yet, but that's what they find themselves in at the end of this movie. They might be complicated on Facebook. Yes, they were definitely complicated on Facebook at this point.
Starting point is 02:17:03 You're absolutely right. messy fucking thing to do with your life is to put that out for everybody. What the fuck, dude? What are we thinking? That was for attention. Yes, exactly. Or jokes. I never knew anyone who did it seriously. Right. So she has an interview with the New York
Starting point is 02:17:18 Mirror. Yes, dude. We all catch the guy here doing the interview. What's that got to do with it? Hell yeah. Library administrator from Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters Frozen Empire. Because man, that guy
Starting point is 02:17:34 to return for that shitty sequel. Isn't it also the assistant from Copycat? Yes. Yes. That's okay. Yeah. I think he's on succession for a minute or two. He gets around.
Starting point is 02:17:46 He's got this great. Miranda said, if I didn't hire you, I'm an idiot. It's your classic like, I got a thing from Miranda and it said you were the worst assistant she ever had and you disappointed her more than anybody.
Starting point is 02:18:00 But if I don't hire you, I'm an idiot. It's like, oh, it turned around. And everybody on, yeah. Suddenly I see, suddenly I see. This is what I want to be. If we didn't keep reading, you know, I wouldn't keep reading. I'm like, okay, a piece of shit.
Starting point is 02:18:14 I'll throw this in the car. I'll ignore these other 25 sentences. Those first two did the deed. I'm out. But she, Andy calls up Emily and she's like, hey, I got all these fancy schmancy clothes from Paris that I don't want. You can have him, you know. it's a well like i'm gonna have to get them fucking taken in you fat pig but thank you dude yeah i'm gonna have this oh i have all these great dresses from paris i'm gonna send it over to the office yeah you're
Starting point is 02:18:45 that's that's your last name okay cool box shows up it's a box full of shit it's a box total like human feces she has spent two weeks shitting into a large box filling it so it would be like comparable to a box of clothes weight wise and then uh she turns to the new assistant and says you have some huge hooves to fill from the pig that used to be here. And you might also be for all I know. And then what's really interesting, and I only noticed this the other day when we rewatched it. But this ending where like, she's, Andy is walking by the publishing building and Miranda comes out to get a car. and they look across the street and see each other.
Starting point is 02:19:34 And I was like, why does this feel familiar? It's because Anne Hathaway, five years after this movie came out, would participate in a very similar thing. This is kind of the end of Dark Night Rise. It is. Just without the Michael Kane there. Someday you'll be walking down the street in Midtown Manhattan, and you'll be walking by the old office,
Starting point is 02:19:51 and you'll look across the street and you'll say, oh, is that Mistress Miranda coming out? And you'll look, and maybe you'll see each other. Maybe not. Maybe this is existing only in my dreams and it's not in the movie. It's kind of almost the same thing. I presume Chris Nolan's a big fan of this one. I can just feel it in my bones.
Starting point is 02:20:08 I mean, with Miranda's attitude, she's welcoming a Bain attack of some kind. Oh, Miranda, you think you can just treat employees this way. Meet my friend and confidant Luigi Manjone. I'm sorry, but the mask is all wrong. The mask is all wrong, honey. Bane, are you wearing? Oh, the pain-dulling mask?
Starting point is 02:20:34 Yes, I am. Be great. Like, redesign it by Prada, the mask? Yeah, great. Thanks. At first, I thought Miranda Priestley was a fucking bitch, but then she turned my life around with some cool fashion and a snazzy new breathing apparatus.
Starting point is 02:20:51 My ass looks fantastic in these other jeans. Well, Mr. Bain, I don't know if we can accept you into the League of Shadows, but Miranda Priestley did, right? you are the most disappointing of all of her assistants. But if we didn't hire you for the League of Shadows, I'm an idiot. Suddenly I see, this is what I want to be.
Starting point is 02:21:14 I'm also in a situation ship with Nate. He told you about Boston. His grilled cheese skills are subpar. That's the end of the movie. I do like the end end is Miranda. is in the car by herself and she actually smiles for seeing Andy and that's that's it until 20 years later
Starting point is 02:21:38 we'll see what happens this weekend at the box office but the end of this movie will go around the hornier for some final thoughts and we'll start with our guest today Chelsea final thoughts and recommendations on the devil words product a huge recommend if you've never seen it I think this is such a fun movie I've always really liked it I've warmed to it more when I first saw it in 2006 all the size
Starting point is 02:21:56 and weight stuff really bothered me that stuff still really bothers me but I do otherwise enjoy the movie I think performances are really great. It's a lot of fun. I'll watch it probably a dozen more times in my life. But will you watch it back to front or just strictly broadcast television? I don't do it on broadcast television as much. However, will I watch it on a plane? Yeah, probably. Mr. Siska. Yeah, I mean, ultimately, it is a recommend for me. I like the cast. I like everyone here. And it's a nice enough story. I feel like we've seen the male version of this
Starting point is 02:22:26 type of movie 10,000 fucking times with like, you know, I don't even have to name them. There's There's billions of them. So it was just nice to see a spin on it. And yeah, that's me. There you go. Steve Sadek. Yeah, I think I wish we had a little more teeth here for the Miranda character and for a lot of the stuff. There's warts here.
Starting point is 02:22:48 It's a light recommend. It's a God-tier hangover movie, although I don't like it a lot. That's kind of where I'm going to land. Yeah, but you could, theoretically, someone could use this as a hangover movie. Oh, yes, absolutely. You're recommending it if you're in physical discomfort. Yes, exactly. From alcohol, probably.
Starting point is 02:23:07 If you feel like you're going to throw up your entire last night, put on the devilware's product. Chris Cabin. Oh, I mean, I agree 100%. I mean, it is a fantastic hangover movie. It's got that nice pace. It just moves. Not glacial, it's moving at a decent enough cliff,
Starting point is 02:23:21 but not too fast because then you're going to throw up. And all the last night's going to come back for you. But no, I think the cast is fantastic. They really keep this thing moving. And I agree with Chelsea. I am not so into all the weight stuff. I think that's pretty disgusting. But, you know, whatever.
Starting point is 02:23:38 It was the time. It was the time. We were allowing this stuff. It was the time in the industry. Yes, exactly. But yeah, very enjoyable movie. Yeah, no, I'm not going to say anything different. I do like this movie.
Starting point is 02:23:49 I liked it, you know, when I saw it in theaters way back. And it's just, it's enjoyable. It is indeed, like, God-tier hangover. Also, like, for the broadcast TV argument of it all, I think it's also an ass magnet. If you catch this on, like, you're going to lose, you know, 45 minutes out of your day easily. But yeah, I mean, everybody here just gets it. I think everybody's bait.
Starting point is 02:24:09 You know, I'm not a big Simon Baker guy, but he's fine here. He's doing what he has to do for this character. So it all works. But, I mean, just the Streep of it all and the Tooch of it all more than anything is what attracts me back here. And not that Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway are bad. I think they're very good in this movie. But you're talking about Merrill Streep and Stanley Toochie. So it's easy for me to call the best.
Starting point is 02:24:30 parts are my favorite parts anyway. But that is going to do it for this episode. Chelsea, thanks so much for coming and bringing some knowledge that we clearly would not have had without you. Thank you so much for having me. This was an absolute blast. I had the best time.
