2
00:00:11,810 --> 00:00:14,290
Hi.
Welcome to a bite of today we're

00:00:14,290 --> 00:00:17,650
talking about the parenting.
I'm Derek that's Noah and things

4
00:00:17,650 --> 00:00:23,570
are about to get gay Ampy
Romkami scary Adzi think that's

5
00:00:23,570 --> 00:00:25,970
about it and Parker Posey EE.
Yeah, that is true.

6
00:00:25,970 --> 00:00:29,490
I mean, this is the cast.
I'm very interested to talk

7
00:00:29,490 --> 00:00:31,650
about this because we did not
really talk to each other about

8
00:00:31,650 --> 00:00:35,120
this movie after seeing it.
So before we get into the movie,

9
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,200
do all the the normal things,
subscribe, leave a like comment,

10
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,080
follow whatever.
It's all down below it.

11
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,560
There's going to be a thing.
Follow us at blah blah, blah,

12
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:50,800
you know, But spoilers ahead for
the gay agenda, for the

13
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,160
parenting, for, I don't know,
ROM coms in general.

14
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,280
But yeah, if you haven't seen
it, go watch it.

15
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,840
It's a crisp I worn 30 minutes.
So let us officially take a bite

16
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,520
of the parenting.
Written by Kent Sublett and

17
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,200
directed by Craig Johnson.
Rohan and Josh plan the perfect

18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,880
weekend in the perfect Airbnb to
finally have their parents meet

19
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,000
for the perfect proposal.
Unfortunately for them, the

20
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,760
place is haunted and the demon
that resides there needs a

21
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,760
perfect host to escape.
So what did you think, my dear

22
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,440
husband?
OK, so instead of just saying

23
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,720
what I think I'm going to do
like a grading thing, right?

24
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,440
OK, so as you said, the the
setup, right, we did the amouge

25
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,400
bouche.
This is what the movie is about

26
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,120
a A for setup, right?
Then we have this cast.

27
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:44,440
OK, we have Brian Cox, Eddie
Falco, Lisa Kudrow, Dean Norris,

28
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:53,160
Parker Ozzy A A+ for the cast.
Now, horror and comedy, this is

29
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,720
where I am usually a little
hesitant for these types of

30
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,720
movies because sometimes it goes
one or the other.

31
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,040
It's very rare we get like,
Shaun of the Dead, Bodies,

32
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:10,199
Bodies, Bodies, Scary Movie.
So did this really balance those

33
00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:11,720
two?
I don't think so.

34
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:13,760
But I will say I had a good
time.

35
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,440
Yeah.
Like, I didn't hate it.

36
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,560
Like I wouldn't mind putting
this on while I'm like, folding

37
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,320
laundry.
Yeah, I think as far as horomety

38
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:26,640
is is concerned, I think that
they had both of those elements

39
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:29,280
in here.
I do think that sometimes the

40
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,680
transition from 1:00 to the
other felt a little clunky, like

41
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,120
they're just was like, oh, we're
serious again.

42
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,000
Oh, we're being heartfelt right
now.

43
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,640
So I agree in that sense.
But I also agree that I think it

44
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:43,320
was just a really good time,
made me laugh, had a couple of

45
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,000
good jump scares.
So I don't think we can deny it

46
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,080
that.
Yeah, I there is a question of

47
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,880
like the queerness of it, right?
Like because the difference with

48
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,240
this, it's like meet parents
also like haunted house, but

49
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,320
like make it gay, right.
I very interested in that

50
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,760
premise because it's very rare
that we get good queer movies

51
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,840
that represent like that family
meeting the family aspect within

52
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,720
also horror.
It does feel like a streaming

53
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,200
movie.
Like it's like straight to

54
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,840
streaming.
Like you get that feeling?

55
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,000
I mean, I think for what it was,
it was fine, right?

56
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,440
I didn't go into it thinking
that it was going to be like the

57
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,320
Last of Us level practical
makeup or anything like that.

58
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,560
But I think that you're right.
It it felt like a streaming, I

59
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,120
feel like back in the day there
used to be made for TV movies,

60
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,200
right?
But now there's just like

61
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,080
streaming movies.
And so maybe the budget isn't as

62
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,920
big, maybe the storyline isn't
as intense, but I think that

63
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,440
there's the entertainment factor
there.

64
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,160
And I think that's where we come
into things like, you know,

65
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,120
Ghosted, one of our favorite
movies that has ever existed,

66
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,200
and some of the other like
lighter ROM coms that we have.

67
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,520
I just want to put that out
there, Ghosted is not one of our

68
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,360
favorite movies.
You can also listen slash watch

69
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,680
a review on that.
Yeah, for our true feelings

70
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,960
about ghosted and how we would
have ghosted it, Please watch.

71
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,640
So I think that for what it was
meant to be, it delivered.

72
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,520
Yeah, I mean, yes, fair.
I, I, I have OK.

73
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,080
So I wouldn't say this cast was
wasted.

74
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,360
I think if this cast wasn't
here, the movie wouldn't have

75
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,079
been good because if we have our
two, our two leading men here,

76
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:22,760
right?
I think they were fine.

77
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:27,160
There wasn't anything really
that they brought to these roles

78
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,080
that was different.
I feel like everybody almost was

79
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:35,320
like safe in their roles.
These two leads, the parents and

80
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,960
Parker Posey, were the best part
of this movie.

81
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,120
Yeah.
I think when you think of kind

82
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:45,680
of the trajectory that queer
movies, queer ROM coms have gone

83
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,840
on, right back in the day, they
always felt very much like

84
00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:50,720
straight to video, straight to
DVD.

85
00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:53,640
Parker Posey was always there
kind of holding the mask for us,

86
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,960
leading us there.
So I think it's nice to see that

87
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,400
we have a queer film.
At least our leads here are

88
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,360
queer, but the rest of the past
is stacked.

89
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,440
And I think that's what kind of
feels most important to me is

90
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,280
that they were willing to bring
these heavy hitters, these

91
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:13,400
comedy legends on here.
Parker Posey still there.

92
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,240
But now we're kind of giving it
to.

93
00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:18,200
Yeah.
They could have played the

94
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,600
parents in, you know, what was
that like Will Ferrell, Reese

95
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,480
Witherspoon thing that came out
where it was like on an Amazon

96
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:25,920
Prime or something.
So it's like.

97
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,600
But that was a straight couple.
So it's nice to see we're

98
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,280
getting those powerhouse actors
in what could have been a sweep

99
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:35,000
under the rug.
We are ROM com, you know, so I

100
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,240
appreciate that.
Yeah, I think that the queer

101
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,760
side of it, again, it's not
bringing anything.

102
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,120
You know who I actually kind of
was like this is like odd choice

103
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:47,920
was the friend Sarah.
She felt very like 2000s like

104
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,960
hag friend, you know, which it
it only irritated me in the way

105
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,800
of like, OK, like, of course
there's this friend, right.

106
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,480
And like she ruined the
proposal.

107
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,960
She she was there for laughs and
stuff like that.

108
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:02,080
But like, I almost feel like we
didn't need it.

109
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,160
And not to say the actor isn't
good just from a story

110
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,640
perspective.
And so I think the writer in

111
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,280
here, what was the writer?
Kent Sublett, he was a writer

112
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:14,120
for SNL for like 17 years.
And you can kind of feel some of

113
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,080
that in there.
But it was interesting to like,

114
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,680
get some of these, like, really
like, laugh out loud moments and

115
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,600
then like a weird fart joke in
there.

116
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,920
I'm like, this is very SNL,
Yeah, level of like jokes and

117
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,800
structuring, you know?
I agree about the friend Sarah.

118
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,760
I think that she actually wasn't
written well.

119
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,760
I think like you're saying, she
was very much a stock character,

120
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,440
just kind of like that crazy
drunk straight girl that shows

121
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,120
up at the gay thing.
And so we could have had some

122
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,640
better representation there.
I just said it was the writing,

123
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,520
but was it also the actor?
But did the actor not have a lot

124
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,400
to work with?
I just think that that character

125
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,600
out of this entire ensemble was
like the person that didn't

126
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,600
necessarily need to be there.
Yeah, I that's, I think that's

127
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,520
what I was trying to get with,
with the characters almost being

128
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,080
safe in the roles.
It's like you were going to be

129
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,680
the straight best friend of
these gay couple, play that

130
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,080
character.
You're going to be this guy that

131
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,400
lost his job, but as a
songwriter isn't good at it.

132
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,640
Typical straight white guy, you
know what I mean?

133
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,240
So it's like, yeah, and or a gay
white guy.

134
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,480
Yeah, and even the parents
themselves, right.

135
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,600
It was kind of like the
archetype of the rich Snooty

136
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,240
parents and then like the down
to earth zany parents.

137
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,080
And so, yeah, I think that.
That's the Meet the Parents

138
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,880
formula, which I think can work
and it's not bad.

139
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,080
I just feel like we've seen it,
you know, it's safe.

140
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,720
But it was gay.
But it was gay.

141
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,600
So what do you think of that
twist on the Meet the Parents

142
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,360
storyline?
I thought it was fine.

143
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:50,280
I did think it was interesting
that our Rohan's parents were

144
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,560
white.
Not that we have to get into

145
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,320
that, but it was almost like,
OK, like, was it just so they

146
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,840
could get Eddie Falco in there
and Brian Cox?

147
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,800
You know what I mean?
And then it was like he was

148
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,240
adopted.
Not that we need to go into

149
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,480
that, but it was like, OK,
that's that was a weird choice

150
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,040
to do to like just have like a
person of color but have their

151
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,640
parents white.
So it's like all the parents are

152
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,400
white.
I mean, I I always am excited to

153
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,160
see Eddie Falco on my screen,
and the same with Lisa Kudrow.

154
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,360
So I don't know, like it.
It was wonderful to see them.

155
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:27,040
But yeah, I think, you know,
maybe it was a thing of the cast

156
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,880
was just right and that's what
they went with.

157
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,320
I wonder if that was originally
written in the script that he

158
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,000
was adopted.
You know, I mean, the seeing

159
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,600
Edie Falco, like on the toilet,
being embarrassed, hilarious.

160
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,080
Seeing Brian Cox say all these
like, homophobic slurs were

161
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,160
completely naked, amazing.
Lisa Kudrow and her crazy

162
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,520
noodles, also amazing.
So it's like those beats were so

163
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,840
good that like the flaws, like
the little flaws that you see is

164
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,440
like, OK, I can get past this,
you know?

165
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,320
Yeah.
Did the horror work for you and

166
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:01,640
it did you think it was like 80%
kind of ROM com and like little

167
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,640
bit of horror or like what was
the level for you?

168
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,320
I think the horror work for me,
I thought it was AI mean this is

169
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,800
the first kind of film like this
starring queer characters that

170
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,000
I've ever seen.
So I would be interested in more

171
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
if anybody else has any
recommendations.

172
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,240
So I was willing to give myself
over to all that and I thought

173
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,320
that some of the horror stuff it
because it wasn't like our

174
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,600
horror to me, right?
It was like campy 80s haunted

175
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,720
house horror, right?
It's like we didn't get one

176
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,240
projectile vomiting scene.
We got 2 projectile vomiting

177
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:35,960
scenes.
Quite.

178
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,360
Large.
Yes, crazy noodles, whatever

179
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:40,920
else.
That was one of the moments that

180
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,040
I laughed out loud when the dad
was vomiting on Josh.

181
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:48,240
It was just so funny because it
was ridiculous.

182
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,120
I almost wanted it to go more.
Like it felt like.

183
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,640
Well, no.
Yeah, but more camp, you know,

184
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,800
Or more like outrageous.
I felt like it just needed a

185
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,920
little more teeth in one or the
other.

186
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,080
And like, what do you think
could have done that?

187
00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:05,720
I don't know, like, I, I think
either like, OK, so the, the

188
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,800
moment with Rohan's father,
Brian Cox, when he's fully

189
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,880
possessed by the demon, I
thought some of that work was

190
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,280
really interesting.
I felt like that almost was the

191
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,600
best writing in in the movie
with him talking to himself,

192
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,160
talking to the demon and just
the camera work with that.

193
00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:22,840
But when they're all sitting
down for breakfast and he like

194
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,640
starts cutting Josh, like those
moments, I was actually like

195
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,880
like, oh, that's almost what I
wanted.

196
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:34,000
Like to balance the like absurd
comedy with like actual visceral

197
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,280
horror.
I get the camp of it, but it

198
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,360
almost was like safe camp.
I keep using that word, but

199
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,040
that's what I feel like it was
like, OK, because we have Parker

200
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,360
Posey's character that like was
the one that like did they

201
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,600
Airbnb and wanted people to send
the demon and get them out?

202
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,480
We got that.
But like then she did that

203
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,120
annoying thing of literally
telling them what she was doing.

204
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,960
It was like, OK, it was funny to
see her with braces, but like

205
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:01,920
kind of annoying.
The villain has the monologue.

206
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,880
Sarah found the box.
She was almost there, you know,

207
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,320
It was just like, safe.
Yes, safe.

208
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,960
I also love a box clearly marked
with all the answers in it, the

209
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,360
witchcraft books still in there
for them to find you.

210
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,400
Might as well just say in case
of demon please open this box.

211
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,920
Need this for plot point.
Take all, you know, things that

212
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,800
are in here and read them.
Yeah, I I see that.

213
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,200
And I think that you're right.
The parts where Brian Cox is

214
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,880
literally slashing Josh was
really kind of scary and.

215
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,640
Floating.
Yeah, I, I, I do think though

216
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,880
that like from a just for the
greater sort of ROM com side of

217
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,720
the plot, there is too much
packed in here.

218
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:52,480
As homosexuals, we are not going
to have our parents meet at the

219
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:57,680
same time of one of us proposing
to the other and also not even

220
00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:01,640
have met our partner yet.
Like Rohan's parents really

221
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,480
hadn't met Josh?
No, and Rohan was going to

222
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,760
propose to Josh and then Rohan's
parents also needed to meet

223
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,640
Josh's parents.
Well, and I think that's where

224
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,000
like it almost feels overstuffed
in a way, the balancing it does

225
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,880
seem like.
I feel like we're doing a lot of

226
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,720
these genre blending films
lately.

227
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,120
So it's like, did it blend it
well?

228
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,080
I think it to a point.
But when you set things up like

229
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,480
that, they could have easily
have met before.

230
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:27,000
Like there was no reason for
them to meet them for the first

231
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,800
time.
While I do find that their first

232
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,200
interaction and like meeting
each other was really awkward

233
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,000
and that's the meet the parents
side of like that's why meet the

234
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,360
parents was successful.
Like this was awkward.

235
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,960
Everybody can relate to it, but
then it forgot about some of

236
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,360
that.
It kind of glazed over it and it

237
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,320
was like pushed to the side to
then do the demon stuff.

238
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,680
Like there, there could have
easily been a line of Edie Falco

239
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:54,400
going, oh great, Tatty's here
with her crazy fucking noodles.

240
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,920
Oh, your noodles.
Like they know it.

241
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,000
They've been there before.
They've had this experience.

242
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,760
Yeah.
And again, like, I don't think

243
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:05,480
like, we're asking for like
Oscar worthy, like writing and

244
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,680
performances.
And not every movies going to be

245
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:10,400
like, perfect.
Every movie has its flaws.

246
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,240
But like, I do think there are
some interesting choices of

247
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,880
like, was it like patchworked?
Was the story going to be

248
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,520
different initially?
It's almost our job to be like,

249
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,160
that line kind of just fell.
Yeah.

250
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,920
Like it doesn't connect.
I think that there's also a

251
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,280
piece of me though, that it's
just like, but it's queer.

252
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,360
I think, like I said, the gay
agenda, we're always pushing it,

253
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,800
right?
And I think that is something

254
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:40,360
that we always hope is good
because for so long we did get

255
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:45,280
really bad queer movies.
It is nice to see more of them

256
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,880
and to have some type of budget
to have actors of this caliber

257
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,760
in them.
You know, we got stuff like red,

258
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,560
white and warm blue.
We got Heart Stopper now.

259
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,080
It's great, but I think now we
can be a little more like, hey

260
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,960
guys, like we can do good.
Stories There's another movie

261
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,680
that came out quite a few years
ago.

262
00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:05,520
It's called Adam and Steve
Parker Posey's in that she plays

263
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,880
kind of the straight friends to
the one of the main characters

264
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,400
and it's hilarious and I
remember seeing it.

265
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,280
I watched it with my mom.
We were like, we wish more

266
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,040
people knew about this movie
because it's so funny.

267
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,320
It was so well done, but it
probably had a very limited

268
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,480
release and I think when we saw
it, it was just like on demand

269
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,080
on HBO or something like that.
Well, look at like just the

270
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,200
history of like shows and stuff
that had the first queer kiss

271
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,800
and like how much funding and
advertising and stuff gets

272
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,560
pulled.
And it's like, I still think

273
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,680
people are a little scared to do
something like that.

274
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,760
But you know, Parker Posey is
always going to be there

275
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,360
cheering him on and being in
these roles.

276
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,560
Like I'd love that.
This recently we're getting like

277
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,000
a Josie and the Pussycats like
resurgence because we have Alan

278
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,600
Cumming with the traitors and we
have Parker Posey and White

279
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:55,160
Lotus and the parenting.
She was also in what was it, Mr.

280
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,280
and Missus Smith?
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right.

281
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,760
And then but Rosario Dawson was
in oh, she and just in Daredevil

282
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,680
few years ago.
And so we need, we need where,

283
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:06,840
what's her name?
Tara.

284
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,880
I don't remember those people.
I just remember Alan Cumming and

285
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,640
Parker.
Posey, where's Rachel Lee Cook?

286
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,920
But I'm talking about ones that
had movement stuff this year.

287
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,240
We should just have a full put
Josie and the Pussycats

288
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,440
resurgence.
I would want them to just do a

289
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,600
sequel.
Tara Reid I just remembered it

290
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:30,280
from American Pie fame.
So as far as the campy stuff in

291
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,040
this, do you think that it was
too campy or do you think it

292
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,160
kind of met the level of camp
that was acceptable?

293
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,320
I think both oddly.
Like, if I can say that, like,

294
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,320
again, it's fun.
It's a movie that like, well,

295
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,360
there's like people hanging out,
but we're going to be chatting,

296
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,120
maybe put this on or something
like that.

297
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,840
This is a fun movie.
I think a safe movie to show

298
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,920
your parents that, like, are
like, OK with being with you

299
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,680
being queer or queer people, But
like, it's fine.

300
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,040
Like, it's digestible for
straight people as well.

301
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,720
Yeah.
I think it could have been more

302
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,200
campy or less.
Here's an interesting pop point

303
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,240
that I don't know if it
necessarily goes into camp, but

304
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,400
something I just thought of so.
What is Camp?

305
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:12,400
What?
Is camp.

306
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,720
What's never explained is the
fact that Parker Posey's

307
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,320
character has a magic snow globe
that can create a Blizzard

308
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,520
around the house.
It also is never explained why

309
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,520
she has like 2 wigs on.
She's just cuckoo.

310
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,120
She was, I hate to say not, I
hate to say this, but like she

311
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,720
was the funniest part of this
movie.

312
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,560
Every time she was on screen I
was like, thank God no, it's

313
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,680
just fun.
Absolutely.

314
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,000
But not Brian Cox's haunted
boner that, apparently.

315
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,400
Brian Cox's cock.
I thought that was fine, like it

316
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,040
was funny, but.
You know, I always think like,

317
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,600
what's the new?
Like whenever a movie comes out

318
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,520
that's campy and has like some
sort of outrageous sexual comedy

319
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,640
in it, it's like, what's the
next thing we could possibly do,

320
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,440
right?
And so like, you know, American

321
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,760
Pie is obviously having sex with
an apple pie and whatever, you

322
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,319
know, there's something about
Mary is the gel in the hair.

323
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,560
So for this, it was like, not
only did we get reference to a

324
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,960
haunted boner or a demonic boner
actually, but also there's the

325
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,680
part where there's a demon dog
and they have to stick their

326
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,240
finger up its butt to save Lisa
Kudra.

327
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,040
And see, I think like when you
put them out there like that,

328
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,359
it's like you can tell somebody
from SNL wrote this, you know

329
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,359
what I mean?
Like, I'm not saying that's bad.

330
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,480
It's just like, no, I probably
wouldn't have thought.

331
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,080
How do I stop this demon dog
from biting Lisa Kudrow?

332
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,760
Oh, stick my finger up at the
butt.

333
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,200
Yeah.
But I think that like it needs

334
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,840
things like that.
Yes, right.

335
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,360
We need new interesting gross
out beats.

336
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:46,640
We need more fingers and butts.
And that's the podcast, everyone

337
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,760
so.
I think, but I think that kind

338
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,080
of what's the the pin in it of
what I was saying, like almost

339
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,360
both like I think that it wasn't
enough camping or too much camp

340
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,080
because like moments like that
great, but then like there's

341
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:00,400
like fart jokes, you know what I
mean?

342
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,720
It was almost like they couldn't
pick a lane for like camp and

343
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,200
humor and they just wanted to do
like all of it.

344
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,880
You know, I also was like just
kind of like either go like real

345
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:16,760
outrageous or more, I don't
know, you know, I just wanted it

346
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:21,520
to be better, but I liked it.
I do think the one gross out

347
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,320
thing for me was that fart.
I don't think I needed the fart.

348
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,240
The vomit, Yes.
You know the boner.

349
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,240
Yes.
Yeah.

350
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,840
You know the the funny scene of
them all laying in bed thinking

351
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,360
they're all having sex, moving.
Meanwhile, it's just the ghost

352
00:18:35,360 --> 00:18:36,680
bashing its head against the
wall.

353
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,480
Fantastic.
Perfect, you know.

354
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,840
I felt like they could have gone
far, gone further with it, but

355
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,560
it was fine.
Boners.

356
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,760
Yeah, I mean, poor, also poor
Pomeranians, you know, just

357
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,520
getting the literal shit end of
the stick in this movie.

358
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,680
But you know the two of them.
Survived.

359
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,000
Yes.
As mentioned at the beginning of

360
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,440
this episode, there are four
dogs in this movie.

361
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,240
Kate, 88, is delightful.
One of them does die.

362
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,040
One of the Pomeranians dies.
Can I say something that also

363
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,160
really bugged me about this
movie?

364
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaking of the dogs, where the
fuck was Kate during the whole

365
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,520
movie?
A. 100 Very good point.

366
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,360
She just came in sometimes.
And like Kate, you're not going

367
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:14,200
to protect them from these
little poofs.

368
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:22,680
Slur, slur like slur.
I meant like these dogs that are

369
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,920
poofy.
Oh, my God.

370
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,040
Oh my God.
Yeah, I agree.

371
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:31,400
Well, Kate, Kate kind of was
just there to be like the angry

372
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,280
step kid, you know, of the
couple.

373
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,240
But yeah, I agree.
Where was Kate?

374
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,360
I mean, I'm glad Kate wasn't
around because I don't think I

375
00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:41,160
could have handled Kate getting
flattened by a giant Bureau.

376
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,720
She wouldn't have.
Yeah, yeah.

377
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,080
And also that's another plot
point that we didn't really like

378
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,480
get much explanation that just
Lisa Kudrow happened to be dog

379
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,080
sitting three dogs of her
friend.

380
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,080
Yeah, why not?
Yeah, I guess.

381
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,920
Well, again, that's I think
that's what I'm saying with

382
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:01,400
this, is that they just wrote
things in it to have a joke, you

383
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,520
know, where it just didn't
naturally make sense.

384
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,840
Like why couldn't it have just
been her dogs?

385
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,360
Right.
Maybe Lisa Kudrow's character

386
00:20:08,360 --> 00:20:11,400
wouldn't have been able to
really get past one of her own

387
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,200
dogs being murdered.
I don't know, maybe she she just

388
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:15,880
could hate them, but she still
has them.

389
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,600
That's true.
I feel like she could have done

390
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,360
that.
Also, one of the running gags in

391
00:20:19,360 --> 00:20:22,080
this that I liked was Lisa
Kudrow cussing and then being

392
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,200
like, oh that's not me, that's
not me.

393
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,680
But she would keep doing it so
good.

394
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,880
Between our parent leads, who do
you think was the strongest?

395
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,360
The women, yeah, I I think
again, Brian Cox, phenomenal

396
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:41,400
actor, very funny.
Dennis also very funny, but

397
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,840
yeah, I mean, Lisa Kudrow and
Edie Falco, come on.

398
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,400
Yeah, No, no competition.
Who's Dennis?

399
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,080
Did I say Dennis?
Yeah.

400
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,520
Cliff Dean.
Dean Norris.

401
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,760
Dean Norris.
What did you think of Rohan and

402
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,840
Josh as characters and romantic
leads in this?

403
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,720
I, I mean, I think I kind of
said it of like, they're fine.

404
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,680
They didn't they were
stereotypical gays.

405
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,120
You know, I, I felt like, you
know, he had the, the, the tight

406
00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:13,800
shirt.
They were playing Dua Lipa when

407
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:18,320
we first meet them, you know,
like they were, they were fine.

408
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,800
I don't know there's.
Some of us wear sweatshirts,

409
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:22,560
right?
Hollywood.

410
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,880
He did change.
That's true.

411
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,080
Yeah, I mean, they're fine, I
think.

412
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,320
What's Josh?
Brandon Flynn.

413
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,200
What's his name?
It was from 13 Reasons Why, So I

414
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,280
hadn't seen him in a while.
I don't really know what he's

415
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,680
doing outside of that.
The actor that plays Rohan, I

416
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,920
don't think I've really seen him
in anything before.

417
00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:41,680
I thought they were fine, but
you know, if it wasn't for these

418
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,000
parents, I don't think the movie
would be as good.

419
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,120
There was one funny, 1 funny
moment I think between them when

420
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,320
the ghost is in the corner of
the room and Rohan sees it and

421
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,360
Josh gets up and he's like, Oh
no, doesn't even see it and he

422
00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:58,480
just runs away.
I was like, that's really funny

423
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,400
because I would do that.
I I'd like to believe I would

424
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,680
jump into action.
I would.

425
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,040
Would you remember when Dallas
fell in the pool?

426
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,640
That is true.
Jumped in the pool to save her.

427
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,560
I didn't, but I tried.
You did try.

428
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,720
Yeah, I hurt my thumb, Yeah.
OK, so final thoughts.

429
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:18,960
I didn't say watch it, it's a
good time.

430
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,240
I would say skip it, definitely
check it out.

431
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,320
If we don't watch these types of
movies, we won't get these types

432
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,440
of movies anymore.
An hour and 30 minutes fun time.

433
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,160
You know, that's my, I would
give it like three stars.

434
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:31,760
Yeah, I would give it three
stars as well.

435
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,240
I think that this is like the
perfect movie for just like a

436
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,800
week.
Night viewing, just hanging out,

437
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,320
nothing serious going on.
Being real gay.

438
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,120
Yeah, changed homosexual
watching a homosexual movie with

439
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:46,880
my homosexual husband.
Real gay old time.

440
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,800
Yeah, but again, I, like I said
before, I, and I think kind of

441
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,640
to the essence of what you're
saying is like, I'm here for a

442
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,920
queer representation with a
star-studded cast with two male

443
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:00,960
leads at the center of a ROM
com, you know?

444
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,520
And so was it the best thing
I've ever seen?

445
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,000
No.
But it was a lot of fun and I

446
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,680
think it delivered what it
wanted to.

447
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,280
There's one that's coming out
soon called Good Indian Boy.

448
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,280
I believe that is another queer
ROM com.

449
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,480
Very excited for that.
It looks a little more serious

450
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,160
but comedy as well.
So it's going to be fun to

451
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,600
compare compare the two.
And I think they're getting a

452
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,680
theatrical release, right?
Yeah.

453
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:28,600
I don't.
Not sure if it's limited or not,

454
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,560
but yeah, yeah, I would
definitely look up the trailer

455
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:31,800
for that if you see it.
Of course.

456
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,920
What's his face?
Wait, is it Matt Bomer or

457
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,280
Jonathan Groff?
Jonathan Groff.

458
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,920
They look the same.
You're honest.

459
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,720
And all the gays they but one.
Together than the other.

460
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,560
One's a king.
Oh yeah.

461
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,320
One spitty.
Same same one.

462
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,360
All right, well, thanks for
hanging out.

463
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,360
Be gay.
Watch more gay stuff.

464
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,960
Yeah, while we're still allowed
to have these movies in our

465
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,840
country, let's support them.
OK, till next.

466
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:00,800
Time bye.
