The ZM Podcast Network. Fleshborn and Hayley's Little Bit of Pod. Treat yourself to McCafe coffee with my Macca's rewards. Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod. Well, it's finally happened. We did talk about this last week. The producers have finally watched one of the greatest, most harrowing, saddest documentaries ever made. Rotten Tomatoes IMDb, it's up like 90%.

Oh, it's just perfect. It's always on those lists of the greatest documentaries of all time. And we figured out last week that neither of the girlies had even seen it. Dear Zachary, a letter to a son about his father. 94% Rotten Tomatoes, 8.5 out of 10 on IMDB. I mean, the way it unravels

is harrowing. It's wild. And the rules are and I think you guys found it on YouTube, didn't you? Oh, hang on, I haven't got their channel on. Oh, silencing women in the workplace. I was, well, accidentally silencing women on the the that's all right so yeah we we found a full link to the movie because it wasn't in any of the platforms that we all subscribed to we found a full link on YouTube for the gals and we sent it to them and then the rule was you can not google anything about the film no because it'll ruin it it ruin it. And it's been around for so long

that so many people spoil it online. Because I Googled it to find it. I put in Dear Zachary YouTube and it was the first one. Then I did go down and there was little bits. Don't do it. Don't do it. Did you follow the rules, girls?

Yeah, of course. Of course, I'm a good girl. They are good girls. Shannon, without spoilers, what did you think? I have honestly never cried at a piece of media before that much. Wow, I know. It hit me in a way that hurt my soul. And then I was alone.

So I watched it home alone. We recorded the cocktail special. Next morning, woke up. First thing I did. Oh, so a little volume. I was vulnerable. and it hurt. And then, so my parents are about to become grandparents for the first time, and I called them sobbing afterwards.

Hi, hi. Oh, no. I cried the same, ugly, ugly, ugly crying in that documentary. Well, that was, I think, the appropriate response. After Shannon said in the group she'd watched it and Carwen hadn't yet, I messaged Shannon, blah, blah, blah, that's a part I'm not going to mention because it's not a spoiler, but that's enough.

Oh, I thought you meant before you discussed the documentary, you and Shannon had a chat about something you don't want to tell us about. And I was like, well, that's not fair. No, I said, blah, blah, blah, that part still haunts me. And even as I was typing it and thinking about it, I was like, ugh. I know, just you said it then and I got a lump in my throat.

And she said, I'm literally broken. I feel like i need to call my parents and tell them i love them my heart hurts so much this is why i enjoy recommending this movie to anyone and everyone because you're a sadist because yeah because then it ruins people i sent it to every friend i had i said here's your saturday night sort of gals Sent it to all my group. Did you ruin any of their weekends? All of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's evil. Carwen did not have the same reaction. So my question before I say anything, did you actually cry at this fletch?

Yeah, I did. It was really sad. It's just that scene. It's just that harrowing scene. I mean, the whole thing's harrowing, but there is a particular moment. I mean, you know it's coming. But then it's confirmed. But then it's just confirmed and it's just horrible. Because

I didn't shed a single tear. Yeah she didn't feel anything. This fucking robot eh. I thought I was bad. She's dead inside. Yeah. What happened to you that made you so cold? She'll cry when Taylor Swift is like oh I'm dropping a book.

Yeah, I know. Oh, I'm doing another course. Oh, I'm going to make a... He's going to make him millions of dollars of a book. Do you know what the problem is? This is like, I would say, probably one of my toxic traits

of all time is that I'm really, really, really good at picking the ending from like Aaron's the same. He's like, oh, shut up. I've stopped. There was a point, and I'll tell you what the point was.

I was watching a magician. Not your magician, Shannon. But I was watching a magician. Look at her. She's got a bat prick up. She's like, get your eyes off my man. It was that show where seven of them did a theatre show together. Right. I only watch my own. And then did they tell?

She's a purist. No, they were doing it. And I was trying to work out how they were doing it. And I was like, you're not going to enjoy this. No. If you sit here trying to pick it apart. Do you know, I went. Just sit back and be like, fuck, that's wicked.

Yes. I went to a magic show once in a festival. And the magician did an amazing trick with his table. Yeah. And then he said, do you want to know how it's done? And the audience was divided. He was like, okay if you don't want to know, close your eyes and I'm just going to show people.

No, you don't want to know how the... So I kept my eyes open. He showed us how the trick was done and then he sort of looked at us like, shame on you. And then everyone else opened their eyes and they were still full of wonder and joy and we all sat there like, yeah yeah shame on me yeah we ruined

we were robbed of our childhood yeah we were now imagine dating one of those yeah yeah now I know everything yeah I'm all good but yeah yeah you

I mean you knock yourself out we're fine you've got that covered you take this one for the team but it's the same with movies because I kind of thought about it afterwards I was like

I always try to pick up on a movie rather than just enjoying it yeah and that's why I'll like watch heaps of shit movies and I'm just like someone put some effort into making that yeah fuck it afterwards. I was like, I always try to pick a part of a movie rather than just enjoying it. And that's why I'll watch heaps of shit movies and I'm just like, someone put some effort into making that. Yeah, fuck it. The least I can do is watch it.

Yeah, yeah, I'll watch it. Apart from Twilight New Moon. Fuck you. Fuck you. No, I will never watch that film. No, you can't see Carolyn like that one. No, I didn't like it. She's like, really, Twilight New Moon?
