1
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:23,360
used to love doggy chow. 
I used to love doggy chow too. 

2
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,320
Do you know how many leather 
jackets with poppers and a cock 

3
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,520
ring in the left pocket we've 
got back here? 

4
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:37,760
I'm Crystal. 
No more Neve Campbell, I'm baby 

5
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,960
lame. 
And welcome to Camp Classics. 

6
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,440
A thoughtful podcast about 
stupid movies. 

7
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,720
Or, you know, just a podcast 
where we find out how many 

8
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,840
movies about a small town girl 
with big city dreams we can 

9
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,040
watch. 
I had high hopes for this one 

10
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,640
crystal. 
I think this was your idea. 

11
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,000
It was my idea, Yeah. 
And I well, we'll get. 

12
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,960
We'll get into it, won't we? 
I mean, I'm surprised I'm alive 

13
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,480
right now because your club 
night killed me. 

14
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,120
I. 
Look pretty good for a dead 

15
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,160
bitch. 
I had the worst outbreak of 

16
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,520
facial herpes that I've ever had
in my life. 

17
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,640
Cold sores is what we like to 
call it, but let's be real, I 

18
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,600
had herpes all over my fucking 
lips. 

19
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,840
That's how you. 
Crusty, sore mouth, ulcers, 

20
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,560
tongue grows down to you. 
Disgusting. 

21
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,040
Gosh, you're you're just like 
Ryan Philippine this movie 54. 

22
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,240
Oh no, I'm someone else in this 
movie and we'll get to it. 

23
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,520
I felt very triggered watching 
this movie with my facial herpes

24
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,760
and I felt I felt, I felt like 
the people that couldn't get 

25
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,840
into the club Crystal and. 
I. 

26
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,640
Felt triggered I was in my 
fields. 

27
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,800
This has been an emotional 
roller coaster for me. 

28
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,720
I'm just having a flashback to a
night we went out in Athens. 

29
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,800
Didn't you get chased by a pack 
of wild dogs? 

30
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,480
What does trauma really look? 
Like, not chased, I was left 

31
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:10,120
outside of a night an outdoor 
rave by you and was circulated 

32
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,320
by some wild dogs as I woke. 
Up. 

33
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,600
So which would you rather have, 
pack of wild dogs or facial 

34
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,160
herpes? 
This is what trauma looks like. 

35
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,640
But yes, that's what I've been. 
That's where I've been at. 

36
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:23,280
How have you been? 
Yeah, really good. 

37
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,920
Really good, Yeah. 
Just really great. 

38
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:28,800
Actually, I had AI had such a 
fun time at Get a grip and you 

39
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,840
know, no, not a Herpe insight. 
That probably means I didn't 

40
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,240
have as much fun as you to be 
honest. 

41
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,320
Oh, I wish. 
I wish that's what I was doing. 

42
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:41,000
No, no. 
I think I was just like talking 

43
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,800
to a corner of a wall or 
something. 

44
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:56,080
We've also we've done our BFI 
live screening since we last 

45
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:56,720
recorded. 
Together. 

46
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:57,960
Apparently it's talk of the 
town. 

47
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,640
I was at the BFI that they're 
still talking about the event 

48
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,960
and some people can't believe 
that Kindergarten Cop is deemed 

49
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,520
now a camp classic. 
I also saw Peaches Christ and 

50
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,640
she was like that's not a 
fucking camp classic. 

51
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,080
Really well. 
According to our listeners, 

52
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,360
Peaches. 
What was her argument against? 

53
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,320
I just think she just, it's just
not one of the root 1 ones, is 

54
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,480
it? 
But we're not here to just. 

55
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,120
No, we know. 
We know. 

56
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,680
Yes, we know. 
Yes, we can't. 

57
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,320
All not every movie can have 
mink store. 

58
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,840
I'll tell you what you just 
performed. 

59
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,320
With I did just with Mink style.
Thank you for dropping that one.

60
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,760
But yeah, that panel that we had
on that episode was brilliant. 

61
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,040
Yeah, one more time for Juno, 
Travis and Charlie. 

62
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,960
That's how you do it, yeah. 
Just three very different trans 

63
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,080
people. 
Very different and meanwhile 

64
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,440
we're the 2 drunk aunties with 
them. 

65
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,440
I was so drunk. 
You were. 

66
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,960
Pissed BF fly is what I kept on 
calling. 

67
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,480
You were BF fly. 
You were BF flying. 

68
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,680
Yeah, I was so drunk. 
That's what happens when you're 

69
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,680
nervous and you make me do these
things that I don't want to do. 

70
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,800
So weird to see you nervous, I 
said to you. 

71
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,280
I've never seen you nervous 
before a gig before. 

72
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,280
I was nervous and then I was the
flip, wasn't I? 

73
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,600
Yeah. 
And then you turned into like a 

74
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,000
kind of Wendy Williams style. 
How you doing? 

75
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,000
I really did. 
I'm so. 

76
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,080
Sorry, you did great. 
I was like, you're. 

77
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,440
Right in the inner went to 
William came out. 

78
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,880
It was great though. 
You're like you suddenly just 

79
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,760
relaxed into it and then it's 
like, Oh no, someone's produced 

80
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,640
chat shows for TVA lot and you 
were just like, so in your 

81
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:39,280
element. 
It was great. 

82
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:40,640
I. 
Was happy with both of us. 

83
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,160
I think we did a really good job
considering it was our first one

84
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,280
and it was a huge black, yeah. 
But you can listen to that 

85
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:51,640
episode now it's out and the 
audio does suck, but the content

86
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:52,800
is excellent. 
It's. 

87
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,880
Like it's like, please, let's 
not get get rid of this one. 

88
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,240
Let's just make it work. 
Deal with it. 

89
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,560
We did an event at the BFI and 
we're gonna tell people about 

90
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:02,720
it. 
You. 

91
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,000
Will listen. 
I mean, that's just like the 

92
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,280
rules of feminism. 
Just this is nothing related to 

93
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:11,640
nothing but I was while I was 
researching 54 today, I saw this

94
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,760
click bait headline. 
Liz Hurley defends lesbian sex 

95
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,720
scene a new movie that was 
directed by her son. 

96
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,040
Sounds like we've got some 
watching to do coming out. 

97
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,120
I mean. 
Damian Hurley is giving. 

98
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,960
She is the diva. 
Yeah. 

99
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,680
Wow, that face it's giving. 
Yeah. 

100
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,680
What is? 
It's kind of she's got like an 

101
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,040
Aphrodite, Helen of Troy sort of
thing going on. 

102
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,600
I love it. 
She's so pretty. 

103
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,640
I'm here for it. 
I'm here for it so much and 

104
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,240
like, I mean just imagine being 
like a glam mum actress and just

105
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,840
being like I'm not getting 
naked. 

106
00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:51,520
I'm not scissoring that actress 
until my son tells me the exact 

107
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,360
angle that he wants. 
Darling, make sure the 

108
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,560
lighting's OK. 
I bet, but The thing is, he 

109
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,200
knows her angle so well. 
You know he's holding the camera

110
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,520
whenever she's in a bikini. 
It's. 

111
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,680
Like it's a match made in 
heaven. 

112
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,600
Yeah, it's perfect. 
And like, you know, it's like 

113
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,200
sometimes you, you, when you 
find these people that know how 

114
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,600
to get you just right or you've 
got to stick with. 

115
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,760
Them, and if that person was 
worth by you, all the better. 

116
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaking of match made in 
heaven, I just bought us tickets

117
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,640
to a combo I never thought I 
would see on stage together. 

118
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,880
Gina Gershon and Cate Blanchett 
in conversation. 

119
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,240
Oh, you mean the gays, not the 
gays. 

120
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,960
And it's Kate interviewing Gina,
isn't it? 

121
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,640
Yeah, but when you told me I was
like, what the fuck? 

122
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:40,080
What the fuck? 
You have been scammed. 

123
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,960
There's no such event. 
Apparently they've been friends 

124
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,080
for years. 
I can't fucking wait. 

125
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,200
Honestly, what are they going to
talk about? 

126
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,600
I don't care. 
I don't care either. 

127
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:51,560
I. 
Literally don't care. 

128
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,200
I don't care either. 
I God, should we go like, should

129
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:01,280
we go dressed as like crystal 
and and what's your face from 

130
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:16,320
Lord of the Rings? 
Yeah, Yeah, we did. 

131
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,040
Anyway, that's great. 
It's really, it's really tickled

132
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,160
me today. 
That's very funny. 

133
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,200
Down to business, though, we, 
yeah, like to welcome our new 

134
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:33,520
Gatreon members, Heather Dune, 
Joe Brown, Eve Frankenstein and 

135
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,440
and Nick. 
Frankenstein. 

136
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,840
That's her name and Nikki Craig.
Nikki Craig these. 

137
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,000
These sound like made-up maybe? 
They're real. 

138
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,960
People are. 
You starting to pay for the 

139
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,400
Gatreon? 
Yourself and. 

140
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,000
Then just making massaging. 
The numbers, yeah. 

141
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,080
And then I put the money into a 
garbage bag and stick it into a 

142
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,040
roof tile. 
Yeah, but welcome. 

143
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,200
Welcome. 
We have a Gatreon. 

144
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,280
It's £4 a month. 
You get a bonus episode every 

145
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:03,120
month. 
And our last episode was I can't

146
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,440
remember. 
I can't remember either. 

147
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,880
Party Girl. 
Party girl, brilliant, but also 

148
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,680
as well, I feel party girl with 
all of the kind of Wheeling and 

149
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,600
dealing you you're doing God 
knows what's going to be on the 

150
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,960
next episode because it is going
free full at the moment. 

151
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,120
It's like, sure, let's do 
something live at the be a 

152
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,640
fight. 
Let's get Lorraine. 

153
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,880
Oh, you, you're a director of a 
film. 

154
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,840
I'll talk to you also. 
Interviewing. 

155
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,400
The other thing I feel like 
really, really battered my 

156
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,720
confidence was you interviewing 
Jordan. 

157
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,360
Yeah, children person, because 
the camp classics like views on 

158
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,840
reels, like, Oh my God, went 
stratospheric compared to what 

159
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,159
we normally get. 
And then you've got my one with 

160
00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:46,440
you, like the one before, and 
it's like on 380 views. 

161
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,880
And then it's like, OK, I get 
it. 

162
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,560
I'm old, I'm ugly, and I'm not 
popular. 

163
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,880
Trauma, trauma, trauma, trauma, 
trauma. 

164
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,000
You just don't have the reach of
Attitude magazine, but that's 

165
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,760
OK. 
Yeah, she's doing junkets now. 

166
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,680
Yeah, well, we'll see if I get 
another one. 

167
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,800
It was fun though, you know, gay
stuff with gay people. 

168
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,680
Media. 
Media, yes, I love. 

169
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,960
I saw a comment on it and it was
like, they all seem high and I'm

170
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,040
here for it and I was like, 
that's brilliant. 

171
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,760
And I wasn't high, I was just 
stressed, yeah. 

172
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:21,920
You were very stressed. 
What's because you weren't in 

173
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,000
control of it? 
Were you Just wheeled in? 

174
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,920
Correct. 
It was like going to like job 

175
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,960
interview, but like, I guess 
it's like an audition where 

176
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,000
you'd have to perform, but also 
everyone's really bored and 

177
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,880
tired and grumpy. 
Yeah, I guess that's like an 

178
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,080
audition. 
I've never auditioned for 

179
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,200
things. 
I can't use you if you can't 

180
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,240
smile. 
I can't use you if you can't 

181
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,120
show. 
I can't use you if you can't 

182
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,960
sell. 
We're now on YouTube. 

183
00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:49,160
We've we were already on 
YouTube, but now there's video 

184
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,120
on YouTube and also I think on 
Spotify. 

185
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,400
The camera is over there. 
The camera loves you, baby. 

186
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,040
Now do more things to the camera
just because we're on. 

187
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,520
Or would you prefer us to just 
be like speaking normally, or 

188
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,760
would you like us to point out 
Louise, sing out. 

189
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:10,840
Louise, sing out. 
I think just occasionally a 

190
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,440
little nip, OK nip slip just for
the people who are watching at. 

191
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,440
Home OK, it might just be a full
move at the moment. 

192
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,040
But but yeah, you can watch us 
live. 

193
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,560
I'd be interested to know if you
are watching because it's a 

194
00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:25,840
whole other editing process and 
I don't know if it's worth it. 

195
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,840
So let us know if you watch if 
you watch the video. 

196
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,360
Oh, and then we've had some 
comments. 

197
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,920
Eve says I just joined the Gay 
Tron to suggest either 1980s 

198
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,000
Flash Gordon or 1984's Voyage of
the Rock aliens. 

199
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,000
I'm not familiar with the second
one, but Flash Gordon is. 

200
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,560
I think it's on our list 
already. 

201
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:45,200
If it's not, it should. 
Be. 

202
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,320
Yeah. 
I mean, it's a miracle some of 

203
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,920
these other films have been 
getting on True. 

204
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,600
It feels like a good one. 
Amanda Paul says on Baby Limbs 

205
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,480
comment about adding to the 
Gayatrion. 

206
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:57,720
You could add a new level that 
includes live rewatches of your 

207
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,880
camp faves. 
Yeah, I'm here for that just so 

208
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,720
you you can work out. 
A whole new technology, live 

209
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,920
streaming. 
That'd be fun though. 

210
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,360
Just like Gogglebox, we'll look 
into it. 

211
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,480
Katie says this is a nice 
message. 

212
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,800
Hi Crystal and Babylame, and 
thank you for an irresistible 

213
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,640
podcast. 
It has become my treat and an 

214
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,680
escape after a hard day's work 
on my dissertation, which is 

215
00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:23,360
also about movies, but a lot 
less fun. 

216
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,000
Really enjoy the combo of 
sightful and insightful 

217
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,560
analysis, bitchy jokes and 
warmth. 

218
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,400
I would love to hear more 
conversations about sexy plant 

219
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,600
monsters like the ones in 1986's
Little Shop of Horrors or Men in

220
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,480
Black 2. 
Little Shop of Horrors will be 

221
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:37,760
fun. 
That's. 

222
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,400
A kink there, yeah. 
Sexy plant you get to. 

223
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,040
Pay for that while you are on 
the Patreon. 

224
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,240
So you are but like. 
Yeah, the sexy is an interesting

225
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,120
addition there. 
It's. 

226
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,000
What kind of plants do you want 
us to talk about? 

227
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,560
Is it kind of like tentacle 
porn? 

228
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:52,000
You know what I mean? 
I feel like plant porn, tentacle

229
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,680
porn is kind of related. 
Or is it like those AI videos of

230
00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:57,680
like the tomato cheating on the 
cobbled corn? 

231
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,200
Oh, I haven't seen. 
That the gassy tomato. 

232
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,560
I haven't seen that it gets 
kicked out of her house for 

233
00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:08,000
being too gassy. 
OK, wow. 

234
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,320
OK. 
You're going to need a few more 

235
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,920
junkets to occupy your time, I 
think. 

236
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,160
Another comment from Suzanne, 
this is about Troop Beverly 

237
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,240
Hills. 
Knowing this film was in the 

238
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,160
queue, I bought it from the 
library recently. 

239
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,720
Hello library party girl. 
Hello. 

240
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,680
And I was very curious to what 
you 2 would have to say. 

241
00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:30,240
Of course, my main take away 
from the episode is you have to 

242
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,760
lay it low and spread it wide. 
Good. 

243
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,160
Yes, you're paying attention, 
Suzanne, for the suggestion 

244
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,400
sack. 
Why not skip past the 80s and go

245
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,360
all the way back to the 50s? 
Is some like it hot camp? 

246
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,040
Yeah. 
We haven't done anything that 

247
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,680
old. 
I just feel like there isn't 

248
00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:48,480
necessarily an audience for that
stuff, but I would like to like 

249
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,680
we need to do. 
Something cold. 

250
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:51,760
Yeah. 
I know what you're going to say.

251
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,040
All about you. 
Yeah. 

252
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,480
I was thinking we should do The 
Wicked Stepmother, which was her

253
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,360
last film where she had a stroke
and she walked out and she 

254
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,080
didn't. 
So then they had to like, change

255
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,920
the story. 
Like she's only got like 20 

256
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,160
minutes of footage. 
Oh shit, yeah, it's. 

257
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,240
Terrible, though it's quite 
funny, I didn't see it for a 

258
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,160
while. 
Oh, lastly, we had a lot of 

259
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,640
people send us the remake 
possibility of Troop Beverly 

260
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,400
Hills starring Cameron Diaz. 
Did you see this story? 

261
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,600
Oh, is she doing it? 
Cameron Diaz is attached to a 

262
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,760
Troop Beverly Hills remake I 
don't think we need. 

263
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,920
It I thought she retired. 
No, she came back. 

264
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,040
I know, but I thought she but 
her whole thing was that she 

265
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,360
retired from Hollywood. 
No, but she came back. 

266
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,760
She's had her. 
She's had her like. 

267
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,400
Don't need her now. 
No, we could use a Charlie's 

268
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,760
Angels three. 
Really. 

269
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,480
Yeah, I'd take it. 
We've had. 

270
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,040
We've had it with the reboot. 
Yeah, no, to skip past that, 

271
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,400
give me Lucy. 
Drew Barrymore. 

272
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,720
I just, yes, I'll take it 
you're, you're excited about 

273
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,560
Madonna's confessions too. 
It's the same shit. 

274
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,640
I don't wouldn't say I'm 
excited. 

275
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,560
I thought it seems all right. 
Yeah, I mean. 

276
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,440
I've not seen her in concert. 
I'm not like a Madonna fan. 

277
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:03,600
You've never seen Madonna in 
concert? 

278
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,440
Oh wow, I think I've seen her 
four times. 

279
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:11,760
Now he's the sad old fad. 
Well, I'm not sharing it to my 

280
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,880
stories like every other fag I 
know today. 

281
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,760
It feels reductive. 
I am excited though. 

282
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,560
Anyway, there's our business 
taken care of, baby. 

283
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,560
Before we go any further, what 
makes a Camp classic? 

284
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,320
Well, thanks for asking, 
Crystal. 

285
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,640
A camp classic is something that
will unlock queer joy. 

286
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,720
In the words of our Lord Saviour
Megan Fox. 

287
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,920
I want to get a weddy. 
It needs to be stupid. 

288
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,120
It needs to have an ongoing 
legacy that informs queer pop 

289
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,200
culture and ultimately it needs 
to be anti mainstream underdog 

290
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,720
flop vibes that can be reclaimed
by the F slurs. 

291
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,280
Why? 
Why are you laughing? 

292
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,680
Because I'm just like, why don't
you just use the same reading 

293
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,600
out every time? 
Because I just say it the same 

294
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,960
intonation. 
I'm just like just just do us 

295
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,320
all a favour and just like have 
it as a built in sound. 

296
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:15,600
Maybe I should do that. 
Yeah, reductive and. 

297
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,120
I'm killing this episode, by the
way. 

298
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:19,880
Literally. 
Yeah, sorry. 

299
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,320
It's really the bar is already 
very low. 

300
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,400
Just trying to make it so you 
don't need to edit around the 

301
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,520
coughs, but it's hard. 
Thank you. 

302
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,400
Today we are covering. 
Boring. 

303
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:41,240
Oh Jesus, 5454 the movie 54 
though this was your idea, you 

304
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,720
pitched it to me. 
Blame for this actually Attitude

305
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,840
magazine, and I know you've got 
like lots of big ties with them,

306
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:54,360
but it was on some list that 
they wrote maybe like five years

307
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,320
ago about camp films. 
And they're like, it's like the 

308
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,400
male showgirls. 
And I was like, oh, this sounds 

309
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,920
good. 
And then I've showed you, didn't

310
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,240
I? 
Yeah, that is how you pitched it

311
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,240
to me. 
You called it the male 

312
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,440
Showgirls. 
And then at an afters after my 

313
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,480
club night, I was talking to my 
friend Erica from Berlin, who's 

314
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,680
very cool, and she said 54 is 
her favorite movie. 

315
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,120
And I was like, OK, now that's 
254 mentions in a couple of. 

316
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,720
Weeks. 
Now I'm interested. 

317
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,920
So we watched it on Saturday 
very, you know, post party 

318
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,040
vibes. 
It was actually kind of. 

319
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,080
Perfect. 
I know of all time. 

320
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:37,680
OK, I she's cool, but like, it's
gone way down in my rating now 

321
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,800
because I'd literally don't know
why anyone would ever say that 

322
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,760
about this film. 
I think I can see how it's got 

323
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,600
an appeal along the alongside, 
like a burlesque, for example. 

324
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,240
Some light fare, you know. 
But now I this is where I need 

325
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,880
to ask you. 
You'd never had. 

326
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:58,000
You never seen it before? 
I had seen it before when I was 

327
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,600
like a teenager and I remember 
being a bit like meh about it, 

328
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,480
but that's before knowing 
anything about Studio 54. 

329
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,640
Yeah, right. 
I had never seen it. 

330
00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:10,240
I remember like the cover really
well. 

331
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,760
Like I remember the marketing 
around it. 

332
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:15,000
I can picture Neve Campbell on 
that and Mike Myers on that 

333
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,680
movie. 
It's like Weinstein top power, 

334
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,400
isn't it? 
But which version did you watch 

335
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,800
for this? 
Wow I watched the extended 

336
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,880
version which I bought was the 
director's cut but no it's just 

337
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,080
slightly longer. 
So I think the version I watched

338
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,280
was like they still didn't want 
to make it homo but they just 

339
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,400
made it a bit longer but they 
didn't really add any. 

340
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,600
Interesting. 
So yeah, this movie has two 

341
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,440
versions. 
There's the theatrical version. 

342
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,400
Well, I guess 3, actually, yeah,
because there is the extended 

343
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,960
cut, the theatrical version, but
then there's the director's cut,

344
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:55,600
which got released in 2015. 
And now I've watched both, so I 

345
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,600
can tell you all about the 
differences and they're so 

346
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,720
different, really. 
Yeah, I saw like a deleted clip.

347
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:06,680
We'll get to it on YouTube, but.
So this movie was written and 

348
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,960
directed by Mark Christopher, 
who is a gay man, and he spent 

349
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,400
five years researching the club 
and working on a screenplay. 

350
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,440
It was bought by Miramax, Harvey
Weinstein, all of that shit. 

351
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:21,480
It stars Ryan. 
Philippi, it turns out, is the 

352
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,040
pronunciation. 
He stars as Shane. 

353
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,400
We've got Salma Hayek as Anita, 
Mike Myers as Studio 54's owner 

354
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:33,040
Steve Rebel, Breckin Meyer as 
Greg, and Nevada Campbell as 

355
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,080
soap star Julie Black. 
Boo. 

356
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:38,880
Yeah, I mean, you suggested 
enough. 

357
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,000
You can't escape her. 
She's on. 

358
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,800
She's following you around. 
Soon we'll be out of Nevada 

359
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,080
Campbell movies, and then you'll
be free. 

360
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,600
I don't think there's many left,
to be honest with you. 

361
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,640
I think we've covered nearly 
every Nevada. 

362
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:58,640
Film or Dolly Parton, but we've 
done 4-5 Nevada Campbell films. 

363
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,080
So the movie had a budget of 
roughly $13 million, and they 

364
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,800
screened it in early 98 on Long 
Island for teenagers. 

365
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,560
Audiences at the screening 
reacted negatively to the lead 

366
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,760
characters bisexuality, 
particularly to a scene where 

367
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:19,320
Shane and Greg kiss, and so that
led Miramax to demand a recut, 

368
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,040
which removed all of the 
bisexuality stuff. 

369
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,120
There was a lot of fallout 
between the director and Harvey 

370
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:32,360
Weinstein and eventually the 
director agreed to reshoot, but 

371
00:19:32,360 --> 00:19:35,000
he got no control over the final
cut and he wasn't even allowed 

372
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:39,480
to see the editing process. 
Overall, 40 minutes was cut from

373
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:43,760
the theatrical version and 30 
minutes was re added of 

374
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,320
reshoots. 
So it's basically over 1/3 of a 

375
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,920
different movie, which is crazy.
It's like, yeah, yeah. 

376
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,200
So a lot of this is because 
obviously Harvey Weinstein is a 

377
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,840
fucking disgusting prick, but 
it's actually probably mostly 

378
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,560
because the movie had Neve 
Campbell and Ryan Felipe in it 

379
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,840
and he had just done. 
I know what you did last summer 

380
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,920
and was suddenly a kind of an IT
name, right? 

381
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,680
And so that had come out while 
they were shooting this and I 

382
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:14,880
realized. 
She's still in her kind of 

383
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,600
Golden Girl era. 
She would scream to it just been

384
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,920
a hit and they were like, oh, 
she's bankable now. 

385
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,160
Oh yeah, because and that's 
basically what they do with her 

386
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,960
in this film. 
Isn't like she's she's whacked 

387
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,800
in as just like. 
Yeah, yeah. 

388
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,320
So she goes from basically a 
glorified cameo in the 

389
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,960
director's version to, like, a 
proper sort of love interest in 

390
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,440
the theatrical version. 
They've amped her up. 

391
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,880
They've removed any of Ryan 
Felipe's character's bisexuality

392
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,880
in order to appeal more to a 
teen audience. 

393
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:52,480
And, well, it didn't work 
because the critics hated it. 

394
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:57,800
It has 15% on Rotten Tomatoes, 
and it only made $17 million at 

395
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,160
the box office. 
It was a flop, flop, flop, flop,

396
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,000
flop. 
Ryan Felipe was nominated for 

397
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,040
Razzie. 
And yeah, it was basically kind 

398
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,960
of forgotten until a director's 
cut began circulating. 

399
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,400
And this was in kind of the mid 
2000s. 

400
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,520
It it like a unauthorized 
version screened at, I think, 

401
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,000
Tribeca Film Festival or 
something. 

402
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:25,200
And and then that started this 
buzz and demand until Mark 

403
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,720
Christopher was actually given 
permission from Miramax to 

404
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,600
release his version. 
They found all the old footage, 

405
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:37,320
recut it together and it showed 
at Berlin Film Festival in 2015.

406
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,560
But it's interesting watching 
the director's version because 

407
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:43,160
some of the footage they've had 
to just RIP from VHS copies. 

408
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,520
And so it's really grainy and 
weird and the dimensions are off

409
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,960
and like you can, you can really
see like chop between and like 

410
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,960
some of it they were able to 
salvage and it's looks the same 

411
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,000
or just the grating's a bit 
different, but some of it's like

412
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,880
proper like rough looking. 
That's really interesting, isn't

413
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,920
it? 
Yeah, I would say I have. 

414
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,840
Questions for when we get to 
comparing them. 

415
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,520
But I would say listen. 
Out though, because they're 

416
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,960
coming, but we're going to just 
tease that moment now. 

417
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,200
Should we get into the plot? 
Yeah. 

418
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,600
So I will try and like 
differentiate the. 

419
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,520
The thing between the two 
versions is that like so many of

420
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,880
the scenes are even just 
completely out of order that it 

421
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,960
gets very very difficult to like
compare. 

422
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:36,280
Right, but. 
I'm going to do my best. 

423
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,880
There's like a few key things 
that are like the key 

424
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,480
differences that that kind of 
matter. 

425
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,280
What I will say is at the start 
of the movie I saw, I was 

426
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,800
excited because it's like the 
premise of the film about Studio

427
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,280
54 is just, you know, we've 
anybody who is remotely 

428
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:57,040
interested in pop culture is 
aware of like the incredible 

429
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,400
reference points that like 
legend, like the iconography 

430
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,160
from this place and like the 
music alone. 

431
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,160
Like it was kind of like I was, 
I was thinking, even if it's 

432
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,280
terrible, this is going to be 
like. 

433
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,520
Yeah, thinking of all of the the
stuff that happened there that's

434
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,440
going to be referenced. 
And I just was like, even if 

435
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,240
it's bad, it's just going to be 
fun. 

436
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,720
Totally. 
I actually prepared a very short

437
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,160
game for you. 
Oh, it's called Studio 54 or 

438
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,000
Studio 50. 
No. 

439
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,200
Or OK. 
Did these things happen in 

440
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,600
studio? 
Did these things happen in 

441
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,280
Studio 54? 
OK, starting with an obvious 

442
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,040
one. 
Bianca Jagger riding a White 

443
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,360
Horse. 
It happened. 

444
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,000
How dare you even ask me that? 
It's just. 

445
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,920
Just warming you up. 
Play at home though. 

446
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,760
Dead body in an air vent from 
someone trying to sneak into the

447
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,000
club. 
Yes. 

448
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:53,240
Studio 54 Dolly Parton after 
party with live farm animals. 

449
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,520
Yes, yes. 
When it was raided eventually 

450
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:03,040
they found $600,000 in garbage 
bags and 300 Quaalude pills. 

451
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,600
Yes, yes, a Republican US 
Senator was photographed here 

452
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:12,920
with gay prostitutes and had to 
resign in shame, but it probably

453
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,800
happened. 
Yeah, I mean, this is it, isn't 

454
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,120
it? 
Like, yeah, this is the place of

455
00:24:18,120 --> 00:24:21,160
dreams come true. 
This is like nightlife born 

456
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:22,840
berserk. 
This is. 

457
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,800
Yeah, yeah, I also saw that they
one night wheeled in 4 tons of 

458
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,880
glitter so that the entire dance
floor was like sand but made of 

459
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:36,240
glitter. 
I do wonder though, do you think

460
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:41,280
if we had Studio 54 as it was 
then, like we would enjoy it, or

461
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,280
do we think it would be like the
box and just be this thing where

462
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,280
like super rich people are like 
sort of just praying on queer 

463
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,160
and subcultures as their little 
freak show farm? 

464
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,440
Good question. 
I don't know, maybe. 

465
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,960
Somewhere between. 
Yeah, because I feel like, I 

466
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,040
don't know how true it is, but I
feel like part of the the way 

467
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,520
the atmosphere was, they would 
let in people that had no money 

468
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,360
as well to kind of have a good 
time, wouldn't they? 

469
00:25:04,360 --> 00:25:06,240
Yeah. 
And maybe there's also an 

470
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,880
element of, like, these cultures
were emerging here a bit. 

471
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:18,400
So like, disco was coming up, 
drugs, drug use, like, like 

472
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,560
ecstasy was coming up. 
Like maybe that was all just 

473
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,000
kind of fresh and exciting for 
people. 

474
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,800
And gay rights, Gay rights 
because it does feel like with 

475
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,280
the box, a bit like there is a 
sense of people trying to create

476
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,040
a hedonistic atmosphere. 
And everything you hear about 

477
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,160
Studio Fit 4 is like, it just 
actually was that. 

478
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,600
That's what I hope. 
And also the balcony, the orgy 

479
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,000
balcony and stuff. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

480
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,760
OK, Hopefully, hopefully. 
So yeah, this movie opens. 

481
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,720
The director's cut opens and 
it's Ryan Felipe on cold on the 

482
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,440
street wrapping himself in a bin
bag. 

483
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,760
And he's provided a new voice 
over for this version 20 years 

484
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,280
later. 
So it's 40 year old Ryan Felipe 

485
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,840
explaining and he's giving a 
voice over about like, you know,

486
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:01,960
I bet you're wondering how I got
here kind of vibes. 

487
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:06,640
The version I watched, Wig. 
Yeah, Wig. 

488
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,840
And I was like, I've, you know, 
because we've just seen some 

489
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,800
like stock footage of original 
Studio 54 and then I'm seeing my

490
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,680
male Naomi Malone in a shit wig.
Wig. 

491
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:18,840
Did you just say wig? 
Yes. 

492
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,760
Oh, you mean when he's still got
his long hair? 

493
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,720
Yeah, yes. 
And I'm just like, I've sat 

494
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:24,920
there like. 
Great. 

495
00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:30,640
You better be a beat by beat 
male version of Show Girls, 

496
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,360
yeah. 
Yeah, it's the summer of 79 and 

497
00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:37,960
we meet 19 year old American 
Shane O'Shea, who lives in 

498
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:44,000
Jersey City, Jersey. 
He's with his he lives with his 

499
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,440
widowed conservative father and 
two younger sisters. 

500
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,840
And yeah, he's got a wig on. 
This is not the only wig Ryan 

501
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,800
Felipe will wear in this movie, 
because also in all of the 

502
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,240
reshoots, he's got a wig of his 
own hair. 

503
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,200
I am ready for my wig to go 
flying. 

504
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,440
I hope it does go flying out of 
this room. 

505
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,200
So he's got a wig of his own 
hair. 

506
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,680
Yeah, so because when? 
Because when they did the 

507
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,720
reshoots, it was only like a 
month before the movie opened. 

508
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,360
And so he'd had his hair cut. 
And so they had to get a wig to 

509
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:17,320
match his hair from the movie. 
Yeah. 

510
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:18,720
And you can. 
And you can see it. 

511
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,920
You can see it. 
He also apparently was 

512
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,080
complaining about it because he 
was like, I was in really good 

513
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,600
shape when we filmed this movie.
And then they asked me to come 

514
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,600
back six months later, and I 
hadn't been working out. 

515
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,240
And, like, now I'm back in those
tiny little shorts with a wig of

516
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,560
my own hair on, trying to, like,
sell the same character. 

517
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:38,920
Bless him. 
But yeah. 

518
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,680
So he's, he's weary of his 
working class existence, isn't 

519
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,840
he? 
And he can see the big city over

520
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,120
the river. 
And he just wants to get to 

521
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:50,400
Manhattan and make it so far, so
familiar. 

522
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,960
It's a tale as old as time. 
So one night, he persuades his 

523
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,880
two friends to accompany him to 
Studio 54. 

524
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,240
Can I? 
Also just interrupt because he 

525
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,320
is a bit of a douchebag as well 
because he's like fucking that 

526
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,960
woman in the car and he 
basically just comes on her and 

527
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,240
it were like, he's just like a 
douchebag. 

528
00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:11,600
Yeah, he no wonder she's just 
like, get off me. 

529
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,840
It's like, fair enough. 
Does she say did you finish 

530
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,040
already? 
Yeah, it's actually like. 

531
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:22,480
That isn't in the director's cut
funny enough, but yeah. 

532
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,840
There needs to be like another 
cut that incorporates all of the

533
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:27,560
good. 
Maybe there's a good film here 

534
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,800
somewhere. 
Yeah, well, I'll, I'll, I'll 

535
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,400
tease, but I think that there 
is. 

536
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:37,000
Yeah, he's a. 
He's A at best a dum dum and at 

537
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,200
worst a full on douche. 
But he's fit. 

538
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,600
Yeah, he is hot. 
So that is how he gets in. 

539
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:47,000
We go to Studio 54, he's 
convinced his friends to come. 

540
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:52,080
And Shane is so hot that Steve 
Rebel, Mike Myers lets him in. 

541
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,880
But he says not with that shirt.
I said not with that shirt. 

542
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:03,480
And so Ryan takes off his shirt 
and the whole crowd cheers and 

543
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,720
he gets into the club. 
I mean, I quite enjoyed that. 

544
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:10,000
It was great, also the parade of
models and like gladiators 

545
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,240
walking into the club, it was 
fab. 

546
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,520
Yeah, I was here for it. 
Definitely here for it. 

547
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,240
Yeah, it was a great setup. 
So he gets in, his friends do 

548
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,680
not. 
Have you ever been turned away 

549
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,800
from a club? 
I don't know if I have actually 

550
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,040
have you. 
I turned away from Berghind the 

551
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:25,560
first time I went. 
Oh, did you? 

552
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,200
Yeah. 
I've not been as many times as 

553
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:28,920
you, but I've never been turned 
away. 

554
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,800
But I was shit faced in with two
girls and we definitely looked 

555
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,280
like we were just there to be 
tourists. 

556
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,360
Right. 
You know, Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

557
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,880
Also one time in such as we 
tried to get into a club and and

558
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:46,120
the bouncer was like only shoes 
and I was like oh guys, we can't

559
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:47,760
get in. 
Some of us are in flip flops and

560
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,800
he was like, no, only shoes. 
And it turned out to just be a 

561
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,200
naked bar. 
You could not. 

562
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:53,440
You were only allowed to wear 
shoes. 

563
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,400
And so we were turned away, but 
we just didn't feel like getting

564
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,760
naked. 
Oh, you're a prude, aren't you? 

565
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,480
So they basically were Ryan 
Felipe then in sitches. 

566
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,560
Yeah. 
Not with those shoes, not with 

567
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,880
those clothes, Yeah. 
Take them off Boring. 

568
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,080
That could have been my moment, 
and then the crowd would have 

569
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,480
clapped all the bears on those 
plastic chairs. 

570
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,880
Stitches would have broken into 
standing. 

571
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,400
Up on those plastic chairs 
because they'll definitely 

572
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,840
break. 
We're in the club. 

573
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,320
And. 
Again, I'm like, right, I'm 

574
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:31,040
like, we are getting started and
you know, it's a good club when 

575
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,200
the balcony is just a big dark 
room, sex room. 

576
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,200
And I've just like straight away
I'm like, I love that it's in 

577
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,880
the theatre and I love that 
people are just fucking. 

578
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,800
So I'm like, let's go. 
Yeah, it looks great. 

579
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,720
First major difference in the 
two versions. 

580
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,160
When in the balcony, Shane is 
cruised by a man on the balcony 

581
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,240
and is not mad about it. 
Let's say he's just kind of 

582
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,040
like. 
Oh, yeah, This man is like, oh, 

583
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,320
gives him a good look over and 
Shane's like, gives a good look 

584
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,920
back and he's like, wow. 
And then he watches that that 

585
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,040
couple have sex. 
Yeah, this party's crazy. 

586
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,480
Oh my God. 
There's a shot of him in the. 

587
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,720
I think there's a shot of him 
here and he's lit blue and he 

588
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:13,040
just looks gorgeous and what? 
I will say is by this point, I'm

589
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:17,720
like, I'm like the budget isn't 
budgeting because I want to see 

590
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,160
more bodies. 
I know what you mean because I 

591
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:24,800
know that that kind of location 
in the club is going to be busy.

592
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,400
Yeah, there's going. 
To be a lot of people out there.

593
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,880
You see the budget, I think a 
lot of times in this movie where

594
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,760
there's just not quite enough 
extras. 

595
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,760
The club is never quite full 
enough. 

596
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,520
But again, I'm kind of like when
he walks over and the the woman 

597
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,520
who's like riding the man's 
Dick, love her, and then she 

598
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,880
goes straight to sort of rubbing
his Dick. 

599
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,000
I'm like, this happens and I'm 
like, yeah, let's go to it. 

600
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,360
Yeah, yeah, it's very like, kind
of sex positive straight away. 

601
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,200
So Shane loves it. 
Oh my God. 

602
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,360
Looks, drugs, sex, all of the 
things a boy could want. 

603
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,040
Yeah. 
So, against his dad's wishes, he

604
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,200
goes back. 
Also, can I just, sorry to just 

605
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,520
jump in here, there was a big 
problem with how they're just 

606
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,840
trying to like hetro this film 
up. 

607
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,720
How can you hetro up a film 
about disco? 

608
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:14,360
I know it's crazy. 
It's crazy. 

609
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:15,120
I. 
Think it's. 

610
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:20,040
I think it's actually very camp 
to make a straight movie about 

611
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:24,160
Studio 54. 
It makes me giggle, just like 

612
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,720
the idea that you are trying to 
make this movie and you are so 

613
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,280
hamstrung by trying to make it 
marketable to teenage girls. 

614
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,440
It's so funny to me. 
The, the power of people, the 

615
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:39,680
threat we possess, the menace. 
It's so great. 

616
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,040
So, yeah. 
So it's he goes back to 54 the 

617
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,160
next night against his dad's 
wishes, and Steve hires him as a

618
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,840
busboy. 
And this is another big 

619
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,400
difference between the two 
versions. 

620
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,120
Just quickly in the Directors 
Cup we get a clear sense that 

621
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,520
the dad is a racist and a 
homophobe. 

622
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,880
Oh, because I've got a note. 
That's so interesting. 

623
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:06,080
Because I've got a note in my 
notebook surprisingly saying the

624
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,160
dad seems quite nice. 
I know. 

625
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,440
I don't have a problem with 
that. 

626
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,240
I know that was a big question 
mark for me because I was like, 

627
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,720
normally there's something 
repressive. 

628
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,280
There's something like wrong 
with the dad. 

629
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,560
You know he's an alcoholic or 
like, you know, he's beating up 

630
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,200
the family or like you said, 
homophone. 

631
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,120
Yeah, but in the in the theatre 
was. 

632
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,360
A good, honest dad. 
Yeah. 

633
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,200
Interesting. 
So that scene where they're at 

634
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,080
breakfast and he's kind of 
telling them about the club, 

635
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,800
you're like, it kind of switches
gears really fast in the 

636
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,280
theatrical version where you're 
like, why did the air come out 

637
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,640
of the room? 
And why are they suddenly being 

638
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,160
so weird? 
But in the director's cut, it's 

639
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:43,040
because the dads just use the N 
word and and it's been like, I 

640
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,960
don't want you going to that 
place with like all of those 

641
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:51,960
degenerates. 
Oh, my God, you are pulling this

642
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,520
film back for me that literally.
And also because as well, 

643
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,960
there's like, lots of moments 
with like, Ryan Felipe and his 

644
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,120
sisters and like, whether 
they're driving him to New York 

645
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,200
and there's this kind of like 
they're just driving and there's

646
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,320
no conversation. 
And there's no sense of like, 

647
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,159
you're leaving me behind. 
Or even when he goes back for 

648
00:34:10,159 --> 00:34:12,120
Christmas and isn't welcome. 
I'm like, well, why? 

649
00:34:12,159 --> 00:34:13,320
Are they? 
Why aren't you welcome? 

650
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,320
Yeah, it's just Jersey. 
It's just across the river. 

651
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,800
It's like living in packing and 
going to like fucking Dalston 

652
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,600
for like a night out. 
Yeah, sorry to be London 

653
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:21,800
centric. 
Everybody. 

654
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,120
But yeah, it's like being in 
Brooklyn going upstate. 

655
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,560
To Joy Z but yeah, big big 
difference. 

656
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:34,480
So Shane is hired. 
Oh, he has sex with a model in 

657
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,040
the balcony. 
Oh, yes, yeah. 

658
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:38,840
First night, Good boy, good on 
him. 

659
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,120
And you would. 
You would. 

660
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,920
And we're jumping over Mike 
Myers here. 

661
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:44,760
Oh, you've seen Mike Myers. 
We. 

662
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:45,560
Have. 
Yeah, Shall we? 

663
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:46,120
He's. 
Giving. 

664
00:34:51,639 --> 00:34:53,960
That's the line I laughed to. 
Myself about before. 

665
00:34:55,679 --> 00:35:00,360
It is though, isn't it? 
Creepy old man like. 

666
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,680
What do you think of Mike? 
What do you think of his 

667
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,400
performance in this movie? 
I don't think it's like all it's

668
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,400
cracked up to be. 
I mean, he's like just 

669
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,560
underplaying like the role in a 
sense. 

670
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,880
Yeah, I can't. 
I'm going to have to just say it

671
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,040
so many times. 
But yeah, there's more of him in

672
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,240
the director's version, and I 
think it's like quite a nuanced 

673
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:21,600
character and it's quite 
interesting. 

674
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,480
Unfortunately, in the theatrical
version, he is just kind of like

675
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,480
a predatory gay villain. 
I'm not gay either. 

676
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,960
I want to suck your cock. 
Which is also kind of camp. 

677
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:42,760
I retract the name I said 
obviously. 

678
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:52,200
So Shane and his dad fight some 
more, and so he leaves Jersey 

679
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:56,080
City and moves in with fellow 
busboy Greg Breckenmeier and his

680
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:00,080
coatjack girl wife Anita, played
by Salma Hayek, who is an 

681
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,160
aspiring singer. 
And he's living with them in 

682
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,800
Manhattan. 
He's leaving behind his small 

683
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,640
town life, gone to the big city.
Well, sorry to jump back, I've 

684
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,440
just looked over my notes again.
Now. 

685
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,840
Now, some other things about him
in the club the second night. 

686
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,000
Yeah, he's fucked the model. 
And no matter how hard they try,

687
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,120
they cannot get away from how 
gay he is. 

688
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,400
The fag is there. 
You know what, Dad? 

689
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:23,640
You know what? 
Peter's gay. 

690
00:36:24,720 --> 00:36:29,360
Because he is so distracted by 
that disco diva on stage, he 

691
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,240
doesn't get a hand job. 
And he's literally just like, 

692
00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:36,120
it's like a fake Donna Summer, 
isn't it? 

693
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:40,280
Is it ultra Nate? 
Alternate. 

694
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,000
Is it in the end, Yeah, I think 
it's Thelma Houston. 

695
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,280
Oh. 
Is it actually? 

696
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,640
Is it meant to be? 
Oh, OK. 

697
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,000
Yeah, I think it actually is. 
But yeah, I'm just basically 

698
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:53,160
saying the clues are there. 
And like so no matter how they 

699
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,000
tried to edit him, he is still 
gay. 

700
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:01,360
Gay. 
Shane then meets Billy, who I 

701
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,360
love. 
This is she's played by Cela 

702
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:07,120
Ward and she's a record exec. 
The one of the first signs we 

703
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:11,240
get from her, she's taking some 
coke and she says Diana helped 

704
00:37:11,240 --> 00:37:16,040
herself to the last of my snow. 
Great, great line. 

705
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,320
She and Shane kind of start a 
relationship and she shows him 

706
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,440
how to fuck. 
Yeah, she does. 

707
00:37:24,240 --> 00:37:27,560
Oh, you're a fast learner. 
Fast learner and this all. 

708
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,960
Suddenly feels very Sex in the 
City coded to me. 

709
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,000
Now I'm like it's. 
So true. 

710
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,120
It's so true. 
I'm like, are we just watching? 

711
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,600
Because they're like doing 
narration while they're having 

712
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,000
sex. 
Yeah, and it's kind of shot in 

713
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,440
the same way because it's the 
90s and I'm just like, are we 

714
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:45,440
just watching AHBOTV show now? 
Yeah, so he she shows him how to

715
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,680
fuck, and then, as the film puts
it in the director's version, he

716
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:53,280
fucks her unconscious. 
Oh my God, he fucks her 

717
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,440
unconscious. 
Yeah, so she then they're having

718
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:00,400
sex and she passes out and he 
then watches himself have sex 

719
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,080
with her in the mirror while 
she's unconscious. 

720
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,080
Oh. 
That is a bit in the extended as

721
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,120
well, but not. 
Yeah, but then later in the 

722
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,160
director's version, she says to 
her friend, He fucked me 

723
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,560
unconscious. 
Now that is a showgirl's like 

724
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,960
that is a showgirl's kind of 
line. 

725
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,800
I'm here for that because I did 
write on my extended version 

726
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,960
which isn't as graphic as yours.
I did put dead question mark 

727
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,120
lol. 
It's not. 

728
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,080
So it's like. 
Low yeah, when it first happens 

729
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,960
like this isn't OK he's having 
he's having sex with an 

730
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,880
unconscious lady but then later 
she's clearly but she clearly 

731
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,080
she was into it she. 
Likes it. 

732
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,400
Yeah, so it was fine actually. 
She gets so fucking high and 

733
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,280
then gets railed to the point 
where she can't take anymore and

734
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,880
then she's like, fuck my 
unconscious body bitch, I've 

735
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,280
been. 
I want to wake up sore. 

736
00:38:45,720 --> 00:38:47,640
Been Austin? 
I tapped my hat. 

737
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:55,120
Off to you, babe. 
I hope they use me she anyway 

738
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,920
she she so is she's complaining 
about drugs and sex and she's 

739
00:38:59,920 --> 00:39:02,000
passing around her new toy boy. 
It's. 

740
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,360
Passing around her unconscious 
body to anyone who wants to fill

741
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,680
it up. 
What am I here for if not to be 

742
00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:09,680
used by good people for good 
things? 

743
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,160
So then we find out that the 
club owner Steve is laundering 

744
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:18,240
loads of cash and Breckin Myers 
slash Greg helps him bring the 

745
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:20,960
cash home one night. 
This is another pretty good 

746
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,560
scene. 
Mike Myers says there's a new 

747
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:29,080
bartender job and there's a he 
says no, me, there's a spot open

748
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,800
up. 
You want an audition. 

749
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:37,400
And he's currently he's lying on
a bed covered in cash and he 

750
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:41,760
says you can have the bartender 
job if you let me blow you. 

751
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,400
Greg says no. 
And he's like, maybe? 

752
00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:50,960
Yeah. 
But then the bouncers there and 

753
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,800
laughing, Yeah, bouncers there 
laughing, reading a comic book, 

754
00:39:53,800 --> 00:40:00,760
read Sonia, I noticed. 
And so Greg, like, chickens out.

755
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,560
He says no. 
And Mike Myers is like, oh, you 

756
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,400
really are straight. 
And then he throws up on his 

757
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,120
money. 
Oh yeah, it's. 

758
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,040
Quite a tableau. 
Quarter, I'm like, was this me 

759
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:17,320
at your party potentially? 
Yeah, I haven't heard anything 

760
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:22,480
out of character for you yet, 
but yeah, Mike Myers throwing up

761
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,600
on the pile of money while 
trying to get some, trying to 

762
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,040
give someone a blowjob. 
Quite camp. 

763
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,280
Yeah, right. 
So then Shane finds out the way 

764
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,720
you get the bartender job. 
So he goes to Mike Myers office 

765
00:40:32,720 --> 00:40:36,200
and tries to seduce him. 
And Mike Myers is kind of 

766
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,400
impressed but turns him down but
gives him the job. 

767
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,880
But also is like, you want a 
job? 

768
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,200
Well, shouldn't I be the one 
taking my pants off to Ryan 

769
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,280
Felipe? 
Yeah, yeah, suck my Dick. 

770
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,520
Yeah, yeah. 
Well, and then Shane, Shane, 

771
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,320
Ryan, Felipe's confused. 
He's like, no, I thought it 

772
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,000
worked the other way around. 
I know. 

773
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,120
But yeah, so he gets the 
bartender job over Greg. 

774
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,840
Greg's pissed. 
And this is where we see Shane 

775
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,320
is kind of willing to step on 
his friends to get to the top. 

776
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:06,960
Good. 
There's always someone younger 

777
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,400
and hungrier. 
Now we're watching Shane's 

778
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:13,520
popularity skyrocketing. 
And in the director's version, 

779
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,800
this is a more extended scene, 
but it's a montage of him, like 

780
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,760
sleeping around meeting high 
societies. 

781
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:23,120
That people that like, get jobs 
at Studio 4, these are like, 

782
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:27,960
they are like, they're like a 
prize jewel for the the venue, 

783
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:29,080
aren't they? 
And they're treated like 

784
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,320
celebrities at the club. 
That's right. 

785
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,040
And there's a montage in the 
theatrical version of, like, him

786
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,800
waking up with all of these 
women in bed next to him in the 

787
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,880
director's cut. 
Some of those people are men. 

788
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,080
Yeah, great. 
Yeah, and then you know the hot 

789
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:44,880
tub scene. 
Yeah. 

790
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,440
He's like in a hot tub with all 
of these, like, high flying 

791
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:53,120
people, and he's clearly about 
to have sex with a girl in that 

792
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:54,480
hot tub. 
In the theatrical version and 

793
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,840
the director's version, he's 
introduced to that woman by a 

794
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,600
man he's just had sex with. 
Then the next time we meet that 

795
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,680
woman, she says to Billy, he 
fucked me unconscious. 

796
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:06,280
And so it's gotten around full 
circle and Billy's rolling her 

797
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:10,480
eyes because now this woman 
she's just met is telling her 

798
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,000
that he's fucked her 
unconscious. 

799
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,120
And she's like, oh, baby, I 
know. 

800
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:15,920
But yeah, we can. 
We. 

801
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,400
He's kind of got a relationship 
going on with a man. 

802
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,160
The man's introducing him to 
other women. 

803
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,040
It's all very bisexual. 
Well, love that. 

804
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:24,760
Yeah, love that. 
It's fabulous. 

805
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,000
Yeah. 
And he's also kind of trying to 

806
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,000
keep up with the rich and the 
famous. 

807
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,600
He's paying for things. 
He doesn't really have the 

808
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:33,320
money. 
He buys a fancy car with a 

809
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,720
vanity plate on it that says 
Shane, 54, and Shane's. 

810
00:42:36,720 --> 00:42:39,800
He's basically addicted to the 
attention and he thinks he's on 

811
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,040
the path to becoming something. 
And they the extended version 

812
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,640
doesn't really do that. 
He says he's having a good time.

813
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:49,040
He's having a good time, yeah. 
It's very like, it's so 

814
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,280
interesting. 
You said it was like teen 

815
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,280
audience testing because it is 
just a very like teen like 

816
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,080
friendly version. 
Yeah. 

817
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:02,320
Then he gets chlamydia and he 
goes to the clinic to get 

818
00:43:03,240 --> 00:43:06,280
antibiotics and he runs into 
club regular Disco Dottie. 

819
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,360
What do you think of Disco 
Dottie? 

820
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,640
I mean. 
She feels gimmicky. 

821
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:16,480
Yeah, like it's, you know, 
again, it's like there's nothing

822
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,680
crazy about, like, an older 
person frequenting a night and 

823
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,320
taking drugs. 
But the fact she's got like, 

824
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,920
this double life is like a cute 
grandma. 

825
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:29,520
Yeah, I don't know. 
Again, it feels like a straight 

826
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:33,840
person has read that that was a 
character that existed at Studio

827
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,320
54, even though I know it's a 
gay director, but it feels like 

828
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,600
a straight person has then 
created the the character rather

829
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,640
than. 
So again, I would say in the 

830
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,760
director's cut, she's got a 
little bit more time and there's

831
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,360
a bit more a little just ever so
slightly. 

832
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,000
They've got a bit more of a 
relationship. 

833
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,360
So she doesn't feel quite so 
much as like we need someone to 

834
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:55,200
say something outrageous in this
scene, like just Wheeler in and 

835
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:59,160
get her to give her one liner 
and then like, but there's a 

836
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,640
little bit more to her. 
But I also quite like her just 

837
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:06,600
as the zany one liner like she 
Merry Christmas. 

838
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:14,920
You can't, Merry. 
Christmas you can't she's a big 

839
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,640
party girl as well she but like 
by this point with the STD 

840
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,560
thing, I was starting to get a 
bit bored right. 

841
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,800
Just all of these things sound, 
even you saying them now, they 

842
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,760
sound like more exciting than 
they are. 

843
00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:31,440
But this is kind of like built 
it kind of basicness about the 

844
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,760
way that all of these characters
are presented. 

845
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,360
Yeah, yeah, for sure. 
Disco Dotty should be getting 

846
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,840
fingered in the fucking balcony.
Full mouse energy. 

847
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:45,400
Yeah, yeah, she probably was. 
The real character that she was 

848
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,560
based on. 
Ended up with a 25 year old man 

849
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,000
and she was married to a 25 year
old when she died. 

850
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:52,880
But that's kind of what you want
to see. 

851
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:56,760
Yeah, for sure. 
But yeah, she buys him his, he's

852
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,600
got no money, so he she buys him
his antibiotics at the pharmacy 

853
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,280
and they've got a cute kind of 
little. 

854
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,720
We know each other sort of thing
now around about this point in 

855
00:45:04,720 --> 00:45:06,880
the film, I put his giving Ryan 
Murphy. 

856
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,080
Yes. 
It's starting to feel just like 

857
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:14,400
a Ryan Murphy TV series. 
Yeah, it is very pose actually. 

858
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,200
Like and it's just everything's 
being over explained. 

859
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:20,720
It's just got this kind of like 
lost to it. 

860
00:45:20,720 --> 00:45:22,840
Well, again, the theatrical 
version has all of these voice 

861
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,320
overs, which are not in the 
director's cut, which are very 

862
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,720
like, and this was Studio 54. 
It was a cool party and they 

863
00:45:29,720 --> 00:45:32,440
were embezzling money. 
And you're like, I don't need to

864
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:35,080
be told this because I can see 
that happening. 

865
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,760
Then Greg starts stealing drugs 
because he doesn't have the 

866
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,880
bartender job, so he's dealing 
drugs. 

867
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:45,480
And Shane is really hitting on 
his wife Anita, and Greg catches

868
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:48,400
him trying to kiss her. 
And there's this whole love 

869
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:52,440
triangle situation brewing. 
And it's not a love triangle 

870
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,680
that goes anywhere, is it? 
Well, it does. 

871
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:57,680
Well, in your version it does, 
but in my version it's like. 

872
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,480
Nothing happens. 
Yeah. 

873
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,560
And the director's cut, it's 
actually Shane is broke because 

874
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:04,600
he can't afford to keep up with 
the rich and famous. 

875
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:08,000
And so he also becomes a drug 
dealer, and he's the one who 

876
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,840
steals the money from Steve. 
In the theatrical version, Greg 

877
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,120
is the thief and only Greg is 
dealing drugs. 

878
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:18,720
Yeah, so basically in the the 
extended version, the version, 

879
00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:22,200
the hetero 1, essentially we've 
got a pretty boy that's like 

880
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,200
everyone wants a bit of a bit of
the action from he's hitting the

881
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,680
drugs, he's having a good time, 
He's sort of fucking trying to 

882
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:33,720
fuck his friend's best, his 
friend's girlfriend, but that's 

883
00:46:33,720 --> 00:46:35,960
about it. 
There's no like real stakes are 

884
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,240
there for him. 
He's just kind of existing. 

885
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,480
Yeah, that's it. 
And you also don't get a sense 

886
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,960
of why this character is doing 
anything or what like what his 

887
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,320
motivation is like. 
It's, I mean, fine, it's 

888
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,160
probably good enough to be like,
I'm from a small town and I have

889
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:52,360
big city dreams like that maybe 
is kind of enough. 

890
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,920
But this one, it adds a 
dimension of I also couldn't be 

891
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:59,560
myself in my small town. 
And so I'm finally being allowed

892
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:03,360
to express myself fully. 
And that is intoxicating. 

893
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,160
I don't, I don't need someone to
be like to go off the rails with

894
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,360
a drug addiction or I don't need
to see that. 

895
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:12,160
But like, yeah, like something 
like it makes sense. 

896
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,320
Like he doesn't have money, but 
he's trying to keep up with 

897
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:15,600
people. 
That makes sense. 

898
00:47:15,720 --> 00:47:17,920
Gives the whole story like a bit
more. 

899
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,400
He also ends up going over the 
like, he also ends up having a 

900
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:26,560
drug problem. 
So everything you're saying will

901
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:28,440
happen. 
Something Otherwise it's just 

902
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:32,240
like hot guy goes to club, has a
nice time, yeah. 

903
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:37,840
Exactly what are the stakes? 
He's like, oh, I had a bit too 

904
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:39,760
much fun. 
I guess I'll the. 

905
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,000
Funniest place in the world? 
I guess I'll, I guess I'll just 

906
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:46,320
go be friends with my family 
again and manage a restaurant. 

907
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,080
The end. 
Yeah. 

908
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,840
Basically, let's. 
Yeah. 

909
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:54,440
Meanwhile. 
So yeah, in my version this sub 

910
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,600
character is being given a 
bigger part. 

911
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:00,040
Yeah, Nevada Campbell, we 
haven't quite got there yet. 

912
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:01,400
No, haven't we? 
Well, maybe we have. 

913
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:04,680
Yeah, I'm going to start calling
it. 

914
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:06,720
I think we should just start 
calling it the hat version and 

915
00:48:06,720 --> 00:48:12,440
the gay version. 
So they go to a fancy dinner 

916
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,600
where this is where Shane 
realizes he's pretty much he's 

917
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,040
basically just a pretty trophy 
to all of these people. 

918
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,240
Yeah, but we're not getting 
Versace. 

919
00:48:21,240 --> 00:48:23,880
Level no, but that is the, that 
is the. 

920
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,760
Vibe, but I feel like I just 
need to really, if you haven't 

921
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:30,400
watched this movie, I can't let 
you believe that we're getting 

922
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,640
like Versace levels of fun now 
because it's not it's. 

923
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:37,640
Yeah, what what we get is you're
the most gorgeous troglioedite 

924
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:39,440
I've ever seen. 
And Shane thinks it's a 

925
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:43,200
compliment and everybody laughs 
at him, but it is essentially 

926
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,160
Versace. 
Yeah, the the point of it, the 

927
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:48,280
scene is Versace. 
Also, we've got Michael York 

928
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:52,600
cameo there who is famously in 
Cabaret and that's obviously a 

929
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:56,520
very explicit nod to that. 
Pick up, Yeah. 

930
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:02,440
Also at this dinner, Anita is 
also up for sleeping her way 

931
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,120
around to get a record deal. 
I don't remember if this happens

932
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,520
in the heady version or not. 
Oh yeah, she does. 

933
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:08,280
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

934
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,400
I mean because in the Haiti 
version, like a woman can be a 

935
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,400
slut. 
Yeah, a woman can sleep her way 

936
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,120
to the top, but a man? 
Because it's her only option. 

937
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,360
Yeah, like a man can't kiss 
another guy. 

938
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,160
No. 
So I will say it's funny because

939
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,400
she has a terrible voice. 
I know. 

940
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,960
And it's like she's meant to be 
this like new hot disco side and

941
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:29,080
she literally is awful. 
But I feel like she does kind of

942
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,960
also be like, I'm not very good.
Yeah, but it's not even like in 

943
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:36,720
a kind of fabulous performance 
artist disco diva kind of way. 

944
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:38,760
It's like. 
It's giving Jennifer Lopez 

945
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,600
great, great gowns, beautiful 
gowns. 

946
00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:46,280
Yes, without the dancing. 
Yeah, without the it's 

947
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:48,120
literally. 
Like when you see those clips of

948
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,160
Jennifer Lopez now and she's 
like singing songs from 

949
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:53,360
Broadway. 
And it's like, no, we do not 

950
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:54,440
need this. 
Thank you. 

951
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:56,760
What we need is Ashanti and 
Christine. 

952
00:49:56,760 --> 00:50:00,840
Millions and voices ramped right
up and you're reading in vocal 

953
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:02,360
at the bottom. 
And you've got a cane. 

954
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,200
Yes. 
You're doing some great cane 

955
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:10,120
work, so Shane is starting to 
feel a bit used because he wants

956
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:13,040
to be taken seriously and valued
for more than just his good 

957
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:16,480
looks and sex appeal. 
Loser. 

958
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:17,640
Yeah. 
Right, there's the. 

959
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,880
Violet like him. 
I know there's the whole thing 

960
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:23,160
with him. 
That's the thing. 

961
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:26,160
What is this thing like, oh, who
is it? 

962
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,240
Oh, it's something Michelle de 
Swartz says. 

963
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,920
When you're a model, you 
literally don't need to give a 

964
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:33,960
shit. 
It's only when you, like, turn 

965
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,520
old that you actually have to 
start working on a personality. 

966
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:40,080
But like literally have your 
fucking glory days of being a 

967
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,920
fucking cunt because no one 
cares if you're a hot model. 

968
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:45,560
And I'm like, that is 
sensational. 

969
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,000
And then when you go downhill, 
then work on having a 

970
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,760
personality. 
Then such a Chinese friend. 

971
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,480
Gorgeous model. 
Carry on. 

972
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:59,920
That is that should. 
Yeah, that should be the message

973
00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:01,440
of this movie. 
It's not. 

974
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:03,520
So now we're now it's Christmas 
Eve. 

975
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:06,000
It turns out this movie is a 
Christmas movie if you squint. 

976
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,040
Merry. 
Christmas, you cunt. 

977
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:12,160
Dottie says that line and I 
can't wait to terrorize everyone

978
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:14,760
listening to this podcast with 
that clip at come Christmas 

979
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:18,120
time. 
But yeah, it's Christmas Eve, 

980
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:23,160
Shane, Greg and and neither are 
at home in the gay version and 

981
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,800
they really nearly have a 
threesome. 

982
00:51:25,800 --> 00:51:28,520
It's like they're all standing 
very close and they're all about

983
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:32,080
to three-way kiss. 
It gets very close and then Greg

984
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:33,800
walks out. 
But surely there could have just

985
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,800
been a hefty way of doing that 
as well. 

986
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:40,240
Yeah, just making all about her 
and then you know, it's like I 

987
00:51:40,240 --> 00:51:42,440
mean isn't that just like the 
most heady thing in the world 

988
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:46,040
like 2 Bros and well this one is
touch each others Dick. 

989
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,640
Yeah, but. 
This one is very it looks really

990
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,040
gay. 
Ohk OK, yeah, then she's not 

991
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:52,320
getting any. 
Yeah, they would have had. 

992
00:51:52,320 --> 00:51:55,320
She's like, it's like honey, 
like go and get the strap on. 

993
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,800
Because we are, Yeah. 
Going they would have had to 

994
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:02,560
reshoot it because you you know,
the the I fucking Ryan is doing 

995
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:07,240
to Greg is like, yeah, there's 
no way a teen in Long Island is 

996
00:52:07,240 --> 00:52:09,720
going to be OK with that. 
OK, OK, got you. 

997
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:11,920
I'm God. 
I'm surprised because there 

998
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:16,720
aren't there aren't any properly
gay or trans characters in this 

999
00:52:16,720 --> 00:52:18,840
story. 
Just Mike Myers, yeah, in the 

1000
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:20,720
neti. 
Version and there's no there's 

1001
00:52:20,720 --> 00:52:25,040
no trans, no characters in 
Studio 54, no film about Studio 

1002
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:29,000
54, about disco in New York. 
I think you see like a flash of 

1003
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:33,600
one drag queen one time. 
Yeah, that is fucking wild. 

1004
00:52:33,720 --> 00:52:35,920
Yeah. 
And I mean I'm surprised the 

1005
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,960
Hetty version didn't just go 
down like the one gay character 

1006
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:41,480
having AIDS and dying as well. 
Well, he does. 

1007
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,520
That is what happens is. 
That what happens to him in the 

1008
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,480
film. 
Yeah, at the end, I mean. 

1009
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,960
The Hetty version. 
The Hetty version in the voice 

1010
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,880
over at the end. 
They're like Steve Rebel died 4 

1011
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,440
years later of AIDS. 
Oh, OK. 

1012
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,000
So yeah, they did do that. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1013
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:57,760
That is also true. 
That is what happened. 

1014
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,440
So it's Christmas Eve still. 
They're in the club basement. 

1015
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:07,880
And this is in the gay version. 
Shane breaks down about how 

1016
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:11,000
hollow his life has become. 
And he's crying and Greg is 

1017
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,560
there and Greg is comforting him
and being like, I'm Greg's like,

1018
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:16,560
I want your life, man. 
Like you've got it all. 

1019
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,960
Like, come on, it's all, 
everything's going to be fine. 

1020
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:24,360
And in that comforting scene, 
Shane looks up at him and he 

1021
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:26,240
kisses him. 
And they kiss for a minute and 

1022
00:53:26,240 --> 00:53:29,120
then Greg runs out because Greg 
is no homo. 

1023
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:33,560
But they do kiss. 
None of this happens in the 

1024
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,880
theatrical, in the head. 
None of this happens in the 

1025
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:36,360
head. 
He cut. 

1026
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:40,800
And then so Shane's just been 
rejected by Greg. 

1027
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:43,920
Greg's freaked out because he's 
just been kissed by his best 

1028
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:45,920
friend. 
He tries to get Anita to leave. 

1029
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,120
They have a fight because she 
doesn't want to go because 

1030
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:53,280
they're in an open marriage. 
And Greg can't really handle. 

1031
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,200
It Yeah. 
And again, in the Hetty version,

1032
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,520
he just gets angry and you're 
like, Oh my God, no wonder she 

1033
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,280
doesn't want to be with you. 
So then Shane and Anita meet and

1034
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,680
then they fuck in the bathroom 
and they've that's kind of why 

1035
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:05,600
they're fucking, because they're
both kind of pissed off at Greg.

1036
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,880
That's so much better. 
Yeah. 

1037
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,600
And also, hello. 
That's exactly what a little fag

1038
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:17,000
like Ryan Felipe would do. 
It's like, oh, you turned me 

1039
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:18,560
down, did you? 
I want. 

1040
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:20,200
You to. 
Take your wife. 

1041
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:23,520
Even though I want you, Greg, 
and I want your Dick, I'm now 

1042
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,240
going to take her. 
That is exactly the kind of 

1043
00:54:26,240 --> 00:54:29,360
manipulation that we want to see
in a movie. 

1044
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,800
That's what you would do if you 
were chaotic 20 year old 

1045
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:34,640
bisexual. 
Yes, And you have those powers. 

1046
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:36,280
It's very Gina. 
Good shot. 

1047
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:40,320
Yes, very crystal. 
Steve also watches them have 

1048
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:45,600
sex, which does have a payoff in
the gay version, so. 

1049
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,280
Oh yeah, because in the Hetty 
version he just is, like, he 

1050
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,000
just storms out, isn't he? 
Yeah. 

1051
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:55,040
So now we're in the in the bit 
between Christmas and New 

1052
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:58,760
Year's, and this is another big 
difference in the Hetty version.

1053
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:02,480
In this period, he has a short 
love affair with Neve Campbell. 

1054
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:04,600
They go bowling. 
Yeah, bowling. 

1055
00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:08,440
And they go on a coffee day and 
I'm like, because I wrote this, 

1056
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:14,400
I was like, this is a film about
Studio 54 and we are watching 

1057
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:18,760
people going bowling. 
What the fuck is going on? 

1058
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:23,920
Why are there not any subplots? 
Are there not any more 

1059
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,120
interesting things that we could
happen that the world's most 

1060
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:33,520
infamous exciting disco ever and
we are fucking bowling with Neve

1061
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:34,960
Campbell? 
It's crazy. 

1062
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:38,200
And she's in like a sensible 
knit, and he's wearing a wig of 

1063
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:39,160
his own hair. 
Oh yeah. 

1064
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:46,480
Because all of this, what you're
describing to me is very camp. 

1065
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:50,840
It's really funny to have a 
movie called About Studio 54. 

1066
00:55:51,240 --> 00:55:54,280
Actually is. 
Nevada Campbell bowling and a 

1067
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,240
sensible knit. 
I'd like she's like, yeah, oh, 

1068
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,240
she's all delusions of her. 
Even cosplaying as someone that 

1069
00:56:00,240 --> 00:56:03,720
goes to Studio 54 out the 
window, She's like, no, I'm back

1070
00:56:03,720 --> 00:56:08,840
to my Sydney outfit. 
She knew what she was doing, 

1071
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:12,640
didn't she? 
Yeah, so in the game version. 

1072
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:17,120
Behind the hetification of it 
all, Not just not just acting. 

1073
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:20,080
But like, do you think she's not
joining your Nevada Campbell 

1074
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:21,240
Haywell? 
Do you? 

1075
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:25,160
Think she was like, listen, I 
know how to hetty this up, leave

1076
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,920
it with me. 
I think she was the mastermind. 

1077
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,880
I think she was the one that 
made the decision that this 

1078
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:36,480
needed to be hettified. 
She's like, Neve Campbell hates 

1079
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,120
gay people and only wants to be 
in straight movies. 

1080
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,280
She's like, she saw that 
director Scott, she actually 

1081
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:45,240
paid all those kids to go to the
screening in Long Island and was

1082
00:56:45,240 --> 00:56:47,560
like, tell them you wanted to be
less gay. 

1083
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:50,120
I need more screen time. 
I believe it. 

1084
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:51,480
I believe it. 
I've. 

1085
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,560
Got this great idea for a 
bowling scene. 

1086
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:58,160
Listen, let me cast your mind 
back to wild things. 

1087
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:01,920
She ain't that wild with Denise 
Richards. 

1088
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:03,320
Denise Richards. 
They had sex in a. 

1089
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:07,400
Pool Denise Richards did all of 
the work and continues to do the

1090
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:10,960
work to this very day. 
Just because Neve Campbell 

1091
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:14,760
didn't want to show her boobs 
does not mean she didn't do the 

1092
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:16,400
work. 
Well, that's the start of the 

1093
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:26,560
heterification of it all, so. 
The head of vacation so gay 

1094
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:34,720
version none of no bowling gay 
version. 

1095
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:38,320
Gay version no bowling would be 
a great T-shirt. 

1096
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:47,200
The gay version yeah no bowling.
But he's he's basically tries to

1097
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,760
go home because he's like 
realized he's crossed the line 

1098
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,960
by having sex with Anita. 
He's taken too many drugs and 

1099
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:56,560
he's crossed lines, so he goes 
home, but his dad rejects him, 

1100
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:00,480
which makes more sense now that 
his dad thinks he's a drug 

1101
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:04,200
addicted fag. 
In the heady version, you're 

1102
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:05,840
like, why is he sleeping in his 
car? 

1103
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,280
This doesn't make any sense. 
But in the gay version, he's 

1104
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,240
like sleeping in his car because
he's kind of fucked everything 

1105
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,400
up. 
He decides he's going back to 

1106
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:15,280
the city. 
He throws his bong out of the 

1107
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:17,600
window, which again is not in 
the heady version. 

1108
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,520
And he's like, he's going to 
patch things up and he's going 

1109
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:25,200
to like do this right then it's.
I swear to God, just having only

1110
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:29,040
watched the Hetty version, you 
don't get any sense of like, I'm

1111
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:31,920
literally just like, there's no 
problem, I'm watching this. 

1112
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:33,280
I'm just like, there's no issues
here. 

1113
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:34,880
Totally. 
But it's also incredibly 

1114
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:38,000
confusing because you'll get 
sections of scenes like for 

1115
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,840
example, this scene where in the
gay version, he throws his bong 

1116
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:43,480
out the window. 
He like looks at it and he's 

1117
00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:46,480
like, no, you know what? 
I'm done and throws it out the 

1118
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:48,960
window and it crashes. 
And that you can hear it smash 

1119
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:51,000
on the road behind him and a car
honks and he's like, oops. 

1120
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,200
In the heady version, you just 
see him swerve. 

1121
00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:59,040
He's still driving his car. 
A car honks at him and he goes, 

1122
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,440
but you don't have any. 
Like there's no reason why he's 

1123
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:04,520
like, they're just like, we need
some running time. 

1124
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:06,600
So we need to use this bit. 
But. 

1125
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,960
I also just don't get the sense 
that he's having a downfall as a

1126
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,040
no. 
I the only thing I do get a 

1127
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,960
slight sense of is that he's 
like, oh, you know, his emotions

1128
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,880
are a bit all over the place. 
And that actually, you know, 

1129
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:21,880
being with Neve Campbell, you 
know, that could be the thing 

1130
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,200
that will tone him down. 
And actually he's thinking 

1131
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,000
outside of life outside the 
party. 

1132
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:30,240
But like the other thing, I 
don't even get like a drug 

1133
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,640
problem. 
I get the biggest problem is 

1134
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:36,240
unlike his evil whatever, when 
it's like, oh, you know, we're 

1135
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:38,000
exhausted. 
It's such a big shift. 

1136
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:42,000
Yeah, that's it. 
It's like, oh God. 

1137
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:46,160
It's, yeah, it's, it's not only 
incomprehensible because the 

1138
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:49,360
plot that they've decided to 
push with the heady version is 

1139
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:52,560
stupid, but it's also like, so 
weirdly cut together that it's 

1140
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:56,560
also just quite hard to follow. 
I'm like, when are we? 

1141
00:59:56,560 --> 01:00:00,160
Is this the same night? 
Like, what's happened? 

1142
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:02,120
What's like, it's very 
confusing. 

1143
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:08,800
But now it's New Year's Eve and 
things are ox between Shane and 

1144
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:10,840
Greg because obviously he tried 
to kiss him and he was kind of 

1145
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:13,520
rejected. 
Shane tells Anita he just wants 

1146
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:18,240
to be friends and and he also 
owns up to stealing the money 

1147
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:20,960
from Steve, which obviously none
of this is in the heady version.

1148
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:23,720
They have this kind of more 
expanded, nuanced relationship 

1149
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:27,120
here where Steve is like, yeah, 
I knew you were stealing from 

1150
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:28,960
me, but like, I've got a soft 
spot for you. 

1151
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:32,560
Like, they've got this weird 
kind of relationship, which in 

1152
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,840
the heady version is just Steve 
is just a pervy old man. 

1153
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:39,360
In another scene in the gay 
version, Greg goes back to 

1154
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:42,480
Steve's house for a second time.
There's another opening on the 

1155
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:46,600
bartender spot. 
Greg is back at Steve's house 

1156
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:52,920
with the bag of money, and he's 
finally ready to get to receive 

1157
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:54,640
a blowy in order to get the 
bartender job. 

1158
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:58,560
And Steve turns him down and 
says, now I'm not interested, 

1159
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,320
but I would like to watch you 
and Anita have sex sometime. 

1160
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:05,160
And Greg's like, fuck that, no. 
And he's like, why not? 

1161
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:07,880
I liked it when I watched Shane 
and Anita have sex. 

1162
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:11,880
Oh my God. 
So. 

1163
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:14,920
Now we've actually got a reason.
Why he was watching, you know, 

1164
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:17,000
there's like at least a 
narrative through line. 

1165
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,680
And more of this understanding 
of he's just this manipulative 

1166
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:21,400
because he's just like the 
version I watch. 

1167
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:25,400
He's just like a desperate old 
club owner. 

1168
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,400
Yeah, which is why I kind of 
made the comparisons. 

1169
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:36,720
So Greg storms back to the club 
and gets in a fist fight with 

1170
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:39,840
Shane are. 
We hetty or gay version now 

1171
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,640
because a fist fight could mean 
slightly different things 

1172
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:45,800
Crystal So just to confirm are 
they fisting each other or? 

1173
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,600
It's a heady fist fight in the 
gay version. 

1174
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,040
So no fisting. 
No fisting. 

1175
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:56,120
Shane also runs into never at 
the club and realizes that she's

1176
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:58,720
the same as everyone, she's just
a social climber. 

1177
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,560
It's not a big deal in the gay 
version because they barely know

1178
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:07,720
each other. 
But it's a huge like, Oh my God,

1179
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,160
my girl. 
But this is where we get to 

1180
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:13,160
Shane's rock bottom. 
Because he's fallen out with his

1181
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,160
friends. 
Finally, all of his like, bad 

1182
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:17,120
behaviours kind of come back to 
roost and he doesn't really have

1183
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:22,160
anywhere to go. 
So he freebases cocaine and he 

1184
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:26,520
loses his fucking mind. 
He doesn't do that in the Hetty 

1185
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:27,600
vote. 
No, he does not. 

1186
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:28,920
No, he does not. 
So he's. 

1187
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:31,520
Yeah, because. 
So now we're watching. 

1188
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:34,040
Yeah, now we're watching him 
have a very bad trip and he's 

1189
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:35,080
on. 
It's New Year's Eve. 

1190
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:39,120
Dottie comes up to him and 
comforts him and is like trying 

1191
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:41,640
to take care of him. 
She's like being like the. 

1192
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:46,040
Old lady. 
The old lady, Yeah, Anita gets 

1193
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:49,280
the chance to perform on stage. 
This happens in both versions. 

1194
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:52,600
She's terrible. 
Yeah, she's she's quite bad, but

1195
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:54,920
the song kind of has a moment. 
Everybody. 

1196
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,920
It's it starts week and you're 
meant to be like, oh, is she 

1197
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:00,600
going to be able to do this? 
And then the disco of it all 

1198
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:02,440
kicks in. 
She's doing well. 

1199
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:06,760
Greg sees her on stage and 
forgives her for having sex with

1200
01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:08,840
Shane and realizes he can't 
control her. 

1201
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,360
And there's like this moment 
where he's like, I'm so proud of

1202
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:15,720
her and I want to be with her. 
Which again, in the Hetty 

1203
01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:19,160
version there's you're like, why
are they fighting? 

1204
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:21,920
He doesn't. 
He doesn't know she cheated on 

1205
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:28,200
him. 
Listen, it's what it's telling 

1206
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,640
me is like being Hetty is just a
bit easier. 

1207
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:34,240
You don't need to know about 
things and you just get on and 

1208
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:38,720
it just happens. 
And then in both versions, 

1209
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:43,280
Dottie takes some coke on the 
dance floor and she drops dead. 

1210
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:47,160
Yes, yeah, now I have feelings 
about this. 

1211
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:51,640
For starters, she is a fucking 
caner, OK? 

1212
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:57,040
This old woman who was in her 
80s is caning it every night, 

1213
01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:59,760
every night, every single drug 
that she can get her fucking 

1214
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:01,480
hands on, even in the Hetty 
version. 

1215
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:04,240
So I'm like, it kind of makes 
sense. 

1216
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:06,800
It makes sense. 
Point #2 Wouldn't that? 

1217
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:08,400
Isn't that how she would want to
die? 

1218
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:10,760
What a way? 
Did you want to go like that? 

1219
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:14,560
It's New Year's Eve, I have just
taken the world's most mind 

1220
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:18,680
blown drugs and now I've died 
under under a fucking mirror 

1221
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:21,720
ball. 
If it was the real Studio 54, if

1222
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:25,200
I died in that Studio 54, maybe 
I would be slightly sad. 

1223
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:29,440
But going out on a dance floor, 
like surrounded by people we 

1224
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:32,640
shopping music in your 80s like 
quite a fucking. 

1225
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:39,000
It's so true because it's like, 
it's like a school theatre 

1226
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:43,840
production of what transpires 
now, because it's like everybody

1227
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:47,200
in the club, which is you 
really, really, really, really 

1228
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:49,920
realise how well lit the club is
now. 

1229
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:52,040
It's like a function room, isn't
it? 

1230
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:56,960
And then it's like, everyone's 
like, so. 

1231
01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:01,160
And then I was like, how many 
fucking ODS must have happened 

1232
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:05,560
at Studio 54? 
They definitely had a system. 

1233
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:10,480
Keep the music pumping, the 
cocktails flowing, and get rid 

1234
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:14,920
of that dead body now. 
The most unforgivable, the most 

1235
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:17,760
unforgivable thing that the 
theatrical version does is it 

1236
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:22,080
tries to moralize this lady's 
death and make me think she's a 

1237
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:24,920
victim of a hedonistic lifestyle
where I'm, like, watching him, 

1238
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:30,120
like, yeah. 
She makes it to her 80s and like

1239
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:32,200
she's still partying with the 
best of them. 

1240
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:36,560
And I go. 
I'm going like darling. 

1241
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:39,000
Right. 
It's just everybody's just like 

1242
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:44,480
the only way that could feel 
right with the reaction they've 

1243
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:48,480
given it is that like he was, 
I'm I'm going off script now. 

1244
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:52,800
I'm creating it in his like 
cocaine high craziness. 

1245
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:58,160
He accidentally gave her a drink
that was drugged. 

1246
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:00,240
And like, you know, Dottie's 
thing was she doesn't take 

1247
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,080
drugs. 
She just like she's high on life

1248
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:05,560
or something. 
And then because of his actions,

1249
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:08,360
the old lady dies. 
She's hunting for drugs. 

1250
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:10,280
We haven't been following her 
story. 

1251
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,880
I don't know what else she's 
been mopping up that fucking 

1252
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:16,640
night, but she's not fussy with 
what goes up and she. 

1253
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:19,000
Is a scrounger. 
She'll take it all. 

1254
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:22,600
Got any treats for Donnie? 
Yeah, it's like, but so it's 

1255
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:25,760
just like, I kind of feel like 
she'd want everyone to just, if 

1256
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:30,840
she did done that, that everyone
just be like, yeah, but no, the 

1257
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:35,160
way that my version of the film 
does, it's basically the end of 

1258
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:41,480
Studio 54 because of this. 
It's so stupid and yeah, so in. 

1259
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:45,440
Also quite camp, a very color. 
We're analyzing it like this. 

1260
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:49,480
Yeah, very camp to turn try and 
turn this all into a morality 

1261
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:54,360
play about the dangers and drugs
and sex in the set at Studio 54.

1262
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:59,120
Set at Studio 54, The Studio 54 
with no gay people. 

1263
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:06,840
So Stephen Shane fight about 
Dottie's death and Shane gets 

1264
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:12,480
fired because Shane's like no 
one cares about her and blah 

1265
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:15,680
blah blah. 
Shane gets fired, the FBI raid 

1266
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:20,200
the club, Steve gets arrested, 
and Shane is thrown out. 

1267
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:23,880
This this is all kind of the 
same in both versions, although 

1268
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:27,160
there is slight differences. 
And then we see Shane shivering 

1269
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:29,920
on the sidewalk wrapped in a bin
bag back where we started the 

1270
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:32,760
movie. 
Julie then drives up in a limo 

1271
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:35,880
and offers him a ride. 
And now we've got I. 

1272
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:37,960
Like you, Shane. 
Yeah, now we've got the other, 

1273
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:41,080
the other two big differences, I
would say. 

1274
01:07:41,400 --> 01:07:46,240
So in the gay version, should I 
start with a better version of 

1275
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:47,480
the I'll start with the one 
you've seen. 

1276
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:51,040
So in the heady version, Nevada 
gets out of the car. 

1277
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:54,760
They have a heart to heart. 
She says she's changed her mind 

1278
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:56,760
about chasing that stuff. 
I don't know why She has enough 

1279
01:07:56,760 --> 01:08:00,440
30 minutes since she left, since
they left her in the club, but 

1280
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:03,320
she's had a change of heart. 
Well, it's because Dotty died, 

1281
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:05,480
so you know she's had to rethink
everything. 

1282
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:09,480
And they say they're going to 
stay friends. 

1283
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:14,480
And then the movie kind of ends.
And then we see, like, a what 

1284
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:17,359
happened next? 
And Shane does a voice over 

1285
01:08:17,359 --> 01:08:19,800
saying, like, he went to 
Business School and is now 

1286
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:23,240
managing restaurants. 
Julie is successful and living 

1287
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:25,800
in LA. 
Greg went to prison for drugs. 

1288
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:27,600
But now he works in 
construction. 

1289
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:29,200
And him and Anita are really 
happy. 

1290
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:34,840
She released an album. 
She's doing OK Shane reconnects 

1291
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,240
with his family and his sisters 
and is back at home. 

1292
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:40,399
Like I'm having a great. 
Time with make up, even though 

1293
01:08:40,399 --> 01:08:42,720
it isn't the 90s. 
But yeah, he's it's literally 

1294
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:46,080
like we're not even pretending 
we're in the this is a sort of 

1295
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:48,319
a, a historical piece now, are 
we? 

1296
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:52,120
And then Steve gets out of 
prison and they get to throw one

1297
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:55,560
last party at Studio 54 and 
everyone comes back together and

1298
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:59,120
ultra Nate. 
This is real though. 

1299
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:03,080
This is what happened. 
Alternate Amber and Jocelyn 

1300
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:06,479
Enriquez perform If you could 
read my mind on stage. 

1301
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:11,800
The end. 
You ready for the gay version? 

1302
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:13,520
Oh. 
Yeah, because this is this is 

1303
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:15,800
blind to me now. 
The gay version. 

1304
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:18,680
So he's in the bin bag walking 
down the street. 

1305
01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:22,120
Julie drives past in the limo. 
She says, do you want to get in?

1306
01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:24,399
It's just me. 
And he says Nah. 

1307
01:09:24,399 --> 01:09:30,160
And so she just drives off. 
A man after my own heart. 

1308
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:33,200
Get rid of her. 
He bumps into Greg, who's also 

1309
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:35,720
on left the club. 
He's also wearing no clothes. 

1310
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:37,319
He's on the run from the cops 
too. 

1311
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:40,800
And then Anita comes out in a 
giant fur coat. 

1312
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:45,720
Allah Hustlers wraps her two 
boys up in her fur coat and they

1313
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:50,160
all walk off in together. 
And the movie. 

1314
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:52,319
And the implication is they're 
going to. 

1315
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:55,040
Fuck, they're going to fuck. 
They're like we have been 

1316
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:57,720
wasting our time. 
Let's just each other's brains 

1317
01:09:57,720 --> 01:09:59,400
out. 
Finally, we all want to fuck 

1318
01:09:59,400 --> 01:10:01,160
each other. 
The end. 

1319
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:03,560
My God, that is such a good 
ending. 

1320
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:04,480
Such a good. 
Ending. 

1321
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:08,040
It's so funny, isn't it? 
Because now, like, I know that 

1322
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:11,040
there's two. 
It's kind of makes mine funnier.

1323
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:13,040
Yeah, I know it. 
Actually. 

1324
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:15,720
The meta camp of this movie is 
so good. 

1325
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:20,280
Really, I will give it to you 
because I hated it, but I knew 

1326
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:27,280
that they did a lot of changes 
to make it Hetty, but I I kind 

1327
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:32,520
of the the joy wasn't there for 
me just because it it just is so

1328
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:35,680
like, and I know it's kind of 
funny to do all of these things 

1329
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:38,120
and get rid of it, but it just 
doesn't play out in a fun way. 

1330
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:41,360
But now I know that there's like
an ulterior universe actually is

1331
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:42,120
out there. 
They're. 

1332
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:45,640
So afraid of anything gay that 
they've like, chopped this movie

1333
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:50,360
into a Frankenstein version and 
added a bowling scene just to 

1334
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:53,760
avoid any gay stuff. 
It's so funny. 

1335
01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:55,840
It's just like, are straight 
people OK? 

1336
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:02,600
That's so true. 
It's like, are you OK? 

1337
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:04,720
Do we need to wrap everything up
A cut of all? 

1338
01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:09,080
For you even like there's 
bartenders in this in this movie

1339
01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:11,240
and then the gay version, 
they're like there's clearly a 

1340
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:14,640
couple and they like have a 
little fight one time they're 

1341
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:16,640
like teasing each other another 
time they're just like 

1342
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:20,280
background characters basically.
But there's like gayness and 

1343
01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:22,800
they're even, they remove that 
from the heavy version. 

1344
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:24,240
Phobic in this? 
In this? 

1345
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:29,360
Where is the like basic lesbian 
stuff like the male gaze lesbian

1346
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:31,960
stuff 'cause that doesn't even 
exist in this, does it? 

1347
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:34,720
Yeah, you're so right. 
Where's where's Neve Campbell 

1348
01:11:34,800 --> 01:11:37,000
letting off with Anita? 
You're right. 

1349
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:39,480
Oh, we know she wouldn't do that
because it's not in her 

1350
01:11:39,480 --> 01:11:41,840
contract, because she owns us 
Hattie Films. 

1351
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:43,480
Yeah. 
You could imagine them also, 

1352
01:11:43,480 --> 01:11:46,000
like in that montage where he's 
making waking up in bed. 

1353
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:48,880
Like you could imagine one time 
it would be two women. 

1354
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:50,360
Yeah. 
They would have replaced one of 

1355
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:53,200
the men with two women and be 
like, see, it's still a bit gay.

1356
01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:59,560
It's so, so funny to me, what I 
would say. 

1357
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:00,840
What? 
Does it mean though? 

1358
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:01,840
What does it mean? 
What? 

1359
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:04,480
How do we where do we go from 
here? 

1360
01:12:04,480 --> 01:12:06,240
I don't know what. 
I don't know what to do. 

1361
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:11,880
I'm I don't know what to say. 
Well they are just such 

1362
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:14,240
surprising. 
It's amazing how you can like 

1363
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:17,200
have almost all the same plot 
points and have such different 

1364
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:18,800
outcomes. 
And the style of movie. 

1365
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:22,400
I really really really wish I'd 
seen the gay version first 

1366
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:24,960
because it is actually I think 
quite a good movie. 

1367
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:29,000
But when you watch it second 
your your perception of it is 

1368
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:32,280
coloured by the shit version you
watched before and you're you're

1369
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:34,080
kind of second guessing. 
You're like, did this happen? 

1370
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:35,680
I can't remember. 
Did I just miss that before? 

1371
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:37,880
So, right, I mean, I obviously 
haven't experienced it, but I 

1372
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:41,200
think from what you're telling 
me, I would I, if I could go 

1373
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:44,120
back in time, I'd like to watch 
the gay version first and then 

1374
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:47,040
watch the Hetty and then laugh 
at how all the bad choices. 

1375
01:12:47,040 --> 01:12:48,920
That sounds perfect. 
Yeah. 

1376
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:52,920
Exactly, And I'm not saying that
the gay version is a perfect 

1377
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:55,480
movie by any means, but it is 
like. 

1378
01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:58,560
Is it sloppy? 
Still no, it's not a sloppy 

1379
01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:01,720
because. 
Because but in terms of like do 

1380
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:05,120
get more of a century in this 
kind of fun Judo 54. 

1381
01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:08,560
Yeah, absolutely. 
And like, because the editing 

1382
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:13,440
isn't so weird, you're not like 
also kind of being jarringly 

1383
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:16,640
janked from scene to scene or 
like you're not sure what's 

1384
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:18,760
going on. 
You can't follow like the 

1385
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:23,000
narrative makes more sense. 
But also like it becomes a quite

1386
01:13:23,000 --> 01:13:27,480
like kind of classic gay coming 
of age story, which is like 

1387
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:29,920
endearing. 
And like, especially, you know, 

1388
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:33,560
if you were watching that as a 
20 year old, I think it would 

1389
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:35,080
have been quite a powerful 
movie. 

1390
01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:39,160
It's kind of got like a velvet 
goldmine sort of thing, but. 

1391
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:42,200
Also, it sounds like it has a 
storyline and like kind of 

1392
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:45,960
stakes and stuff, which the 
straight version doesn't have. 

1393
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:48,560
It's so it is so sanitized. 
It's. 

1394
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:50,480
Crazy. 
And so like, yeah, maybe it's 

1395
01:13:50,480 --> 01:13:53,120
still a bit of a cheesy gay 
coming of age story, but like, 

1396
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:57,080
it's not a bad one of those, you
know what I mean? 

1397
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,760
And also less nab Campbell. 
So much less. 

1398
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:03,920
So I'm like okay side. 
Yeah, she's barely in it. 

1399
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:07,160
As she should be, yeah. 
And she was, I think, you know, 

1400
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:11,080
she was cast in this to be a 
cameo, and they were tried to 

1401
01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:13,320
make her into a feature. 
It's so funny. 

1402
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:16,640
It's so funny. 
Also, not only does it manage to

1403
01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:19,880
erase all of the gay stuff, but 
because the only gay stuff 

1404
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:23,160
that's left in the heady version
is Mike Myers, it's also just 

1405
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:25,040
becomes quite a homophobic 
movie. 

1406
01:14:25,480 --> 01:14:28,960
It goes from like a nuanced gay 
story with different gay 

1407
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:33,800
characters living different ways
to just the only gay person is 

1408
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:41,880
pastiche. 
Well, no, I you know, as I said,

1409
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:46,960
I wouldn't necessarily say just,
it's just giving an older figure

1410
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:49,200
running a club that, you know, I
wouldn't want to. 

1411
01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:51,240
Yeah. 
It's like it was such. 

1412
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:54,920
It's like not only are we going 
to erase queer, we can 

1413
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:57,000
villainize. 
Anything. 

1414
01:14:57,200 --> 01:15:00,480
You know what? 
We can keep the pervy gay man? 

1415
01:15:00,480 --> 01:15:03,200
Yeah. 
The old ugly gay man. 

1416
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:08,760
Let's keep that one. 
So that's that's quite funny. 

1417
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:12,880
That is quite funny. 
Also, just even like the Greg 

1418
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:15,440
and Anita relationship is so 
much more explicitly, they've 

1419
01:15:15,440 --> 01:15:19,520
got an open relationship in the 
gay version, which is also quite

1420
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:21,080
refreshing. 
Actually, that's given me like a

1421
01:15:21,080 --> 01:15:24,840
flashback to the Hetty version 
because there's a bit where Ryan

1422
01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:27,360
Felipe looks at their pictures 
when he goes into their 

1423
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:31,000
apartment and there's the 
wedding picture and they and 

1424
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:34,040
he's like, oh, what a what a 
lovely wedding picture. 

1425
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:36,960
And they both kind of like look 
at each other in a weird way. 

1426
01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:41,920
And like I when I watched the 
Hetty version was like, ohh, is 

1427
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:44,720
that because they're not really 
married or is this something is 

1428
01:15:44,720 --> 01:15:47,840
gonna come out because it was a 
look, right, Which is clearly 

1429
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:50,680
from the original. 
So clearly there's more built in

1430
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:52,840
that they're not open so that 
they are open. 

1431
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:55,720
So that marriage thing is, but 
in in the Hetty version, it is 

1432
01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:58,040
just like, and then I was like, 
oh, it's a fake marriage. 

1433
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:00,560
He's gay or something, right. 
And then it just as you said. 

1434
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:01,440
Nothing. 
Nothing. 

1435
01:16:01,480 --> 01:16:05,400
Doesn't make sense. 
Like love that they've made a 

1436
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:09,000
new film but without caring 
about like well you said the 

1437
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:12,600
director wasn't allowed to watch
the final car now so who has 

1438
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:15,920
been editing this? 
Was Neve Campbell editing it as 

1439
01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:17,800
well? 
The dark truth is that I think 

1440
01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:19,840
it was probably Harvey 
Weinstein, because apparently 

1441
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:21,520
probably his nickname was Harvey
Scissorhands. 

1442
01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:24,400
He loved to make directors recut
their movies. 

1443
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:27,120
Right. 
And just have no through line of

1444
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:30,200
anything. 
I mean, from a cynical point of 

1445
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:33,320
view, I guess you can you could 
say like, OK, so this is the 

1446
01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:36,800
same studio that did Velvet 
Goldmine and that was a flop. 

1447
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:41,360
And so maybe they're like, OK, 
people don't want a gay coming 

1448
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:45,760
of age story. 
Maybe they want a teen focused 

1449
01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:47,760
with the two biggest teen stars 
of the day. 

1450
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:49,960
Maybe we can make a love story 
out of this movie. 

1451
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:54,160
But it like God, it's it's 
pathetic to watch. 

1452
01:16:54,360 --> 01:16:57,520
It's it's. 
It's so it's so interesting to 

1453
01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:02,040
me that there hasn't been 
another film in more recent 

1454
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:04,560
years based around studio. 
Yeah, we haven't had it. 

1455
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:08,960
Because I feel like people have 
more guts now, and that's what I

1456
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:11,800
think you need to do a Studio 54
film justice. 

1457
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:14,520
Or even like a just a disco era 
movie. 

1458
01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:16,960
Totally. 
Because it's like, you know, 

1459
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:21,120
like the glitz and glam is one 
thing, but of course inevitably 

1460
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:24,200
there's going to be like, 
problematic, dark, murky 

1461
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:25,680
subculture shit. 
Yeah. 

1462
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:28,040
It's just such a rich thing for 
a film. 

1463
01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:30,360
Totally. 
The problem I have with this 

1464
01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:36,600
film, ultimately is there's just
no, it's like, like an American 

1465
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:38,600
high school production of Studio
54. 

1466
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:42,440
There's no, like, luxury to any 
of the set pieces or it doesn't 

1467
01:17:42,440 --> 01:17:44,160
feel grand. 
It doesn't feel special. 

1468
01:17:44,160 --> 01:17:46,600
It's like you said about all of 
these stories about people 

1469
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:49,440
Wheeling in glitter to great 
glitter sand. 

1470
01:17:49,440 --> 01:17:51,880
There's none of that. 
It's like a cardboard moon. 

1471
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:53,360
Yeah. 
Yeah, yeah, so true. 

1472
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:56,920
The movie that springs to mind, 
which is like the good version 

1473
01:17:56,920 --> 01:18:00,320
of this is Boogie Nights, which 
obviously does deal with all the

1474
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:03,600
darkness and it's about porn. 
It's not about, but it's in the 

1475
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:06,040
same time period. 
It's obviously like in 

1476
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:08,840
conversation with this movie, 
and it's just, yeah, so funny to

1477
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:13,120
see that one, which is like, 
yeah, really incredible, well 

1478
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:16,840
acted, dark, nuanced, like. 
Oh, it all says, well, that with

1479
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:19,040
all of these kind of films, 
like, we've seen it done and we 

1480
01:18:19,040 --> 01:18:21,840
know that it can be done. 
Like, it doesn't have to be 

1481
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:24,160
trauma porn. 
Yeah, it you can. 

1482
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:28,280
You can still tell like really 
wonderful tales of people with 

1483
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:32,360
really complicated, difficult 
lives, but still captured like 

1484
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:35,560
the joy and the sort of essence 
of life in it without going down

1485
01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:38,720
the route of like, and then they
all die like you don't need. 

1486
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:41,280
To do that. 
Yeah, but it's like there were 

1487
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:44,480
ways of kind of like celebrating
those glorious forces in 

1488
01:18:44,480 --> 01:18:48,080
nightlife culture that are like,
have all of these, like demons 

1489
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:50,040
around them. 
So yeah, I want to. 

1490
01:18:50,040 --> 01:18:51,600
I want to see someone else do 
it. 

1491
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:54,680
Totally. 
I love that the gay version of 

1492
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:57,240
this ends basically the same way
as Showgirls, which is like, 

1493
01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:02,440
what did you win me? 
And it's like, I'm triumphantly,

1494
01:19:02,440 --> 01:19:05,200
like, going into the future. 
I've been changed by this 

1495
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:07,720
experience, but I've got no 
shame about what I've done. 

1496
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:11,600
And like, I love, yeah. 
It's like so empowered. 

1497
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:14,360
I think it's interesting that 
it's like a bisexual storyline 

1498
01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:18,880
and obviously I do not think 
this about our bisexual family 

1499
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:22,080
members, but it's kind of giving
like make a choice. 

1500
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:29,120
Do you want to be straight and 
have an IT job and just, or do 

1501
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:32,520
you want to go and just like 
fuck and be queer and like. 

1502
01:19:33,440 --> 01:19:34,160
Right. 
You mean the two? 

1503
01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:35,640
Versions. 
The two, two movies. 

1504
01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:37,880
Yeah, it's just like, what do 
you want to do? 

1505
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:39,640
Yeah, that's so true. 
That's so true. 

1506
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:45,080
I, I, I also think like the 
heady version is, well, I think 

1507
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:47,400
the gay version is like, yeah, 
somewhere between showgirls and 

1508
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:49,800
cabaret. 
And the heady version is 

1509
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:54,080
burlesque, and that's almost 
being cruel to burlesque. 

1510
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:56,520
Oh, it's not almost. 
It's like being really cool to 

1511
01:19:56,520 --> 01:19:58,840
burlesque because at least 
burlesque has like a bit of. 

1512
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:00,960
Yeah, some, some production. 
Value. 

1513
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:04,000
Yeah, it's like, where is this 
is just like, Oh my God. 

1514
01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:05,960
A number. 
It's got a routine. 

1515
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:08,800
It's got an 8 count. 
Although saying that, what's the

1516
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:12,320
name of Christina Aguilera's 
love interest in burlesque? 

1517
01:20:12,840 --> 01:20:16,640
The Dane. 
Yeah, the guy's called Ham 

1518
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:19,240
someone. 
Oh Cam music. 

1519
01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:24,320
Oh, that guy can be the. 
Storyline is is we've got rid of

1520
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:26,440
Christine Aguilera storyline and
we followed him. 

1521
01:20:26,440 --> 01:20:28,000
He's just a barman. 
Yeah, you're right. 

1522
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:32,440
Barman that has a girlfriend and
it's just kind of Yeah, it's the

1523
01:20:32,440 --> 01:20:33,960
same. 
Yeah, you're right. 

1524
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:35,240
They are the. 
Homo. 

1525
01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:39,800
Whatever he wrote, he wrote, let
me show you how to bless. 

1526
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:41,960
So we all know he is a massive 
vendor. 

1527
01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:44,920
But the other thing I find 
really funny and obviously like 

1528
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:47,680
they they had to be really 
careful with this, but it's so 

1529
01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:51,080
funny how they just kind of 
skirt round. 

1530
01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:54,720
No, like big legends like lies 
is not in the corner. 

1531
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:57,760
Like, you know, it's like, oh. 
Truman Capote. 

1532
01:20:57,800 --> 01:21:01,240
I need to go out the way. 
Is what's true about a 

1533
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:03,880
problematic with children? 
Oh God, I hope not. 

1534
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:08,080
Because there was that paedo E 
boy Angel lowering down from the

1535
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:11,040
ceiling and I was just like, are
they painting him as an old 

1536
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:12,400
paedo? 
By what? 

1537
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:15,520
But yeah, I just find it funny 
how it was like they didn't even

1538
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:18,920
attempt to give us a share or 
Donna Summer or. 

1539
01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:21,920
I think I saw someone who was 
meant to look like divine, maybe

1540
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:23,640
for one frame. 
Yeah. 

1541
01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:25,840
And you get Yeah, and you get 
Andy Warhol. 

1542
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:27,880
Oh, God, yeah. 
Of course, the Andy Warhol. 

1543
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:31,280
Oh, yeah. 
They also clearly at some point 

1544
01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:34,080
thought that Michael Myers in a 
prosthetic nose playing this 

1545
01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:35,560
character was going to be an 
Oscar winning. 

1546
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:38,880
Role and. 
I love that people in Hollywood 

1547
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:40,440
are still so transparent with 
this. 

1548
01:21:40,440 --> 01:21:43,120
It's like, let's make them look 
different and they'll win an 

1549
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:44,760
Oscar. 
They still fall for it, don't 

1550
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:47,120
they? 
I think there is an argument in 

1551
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:51,160
the directors in the in the gay 
version for a supporting Oscar 

1552
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:52,520
nomination for Mike Myers in 
this. 

1553
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:55,000
Movie really OK. 
But it is on the edge of like, 

1554
01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:57,600
he's kind of doing it. 
It's kind of bad, but it's kind 

1555
01:21:57,600 --> 01:21:59,400
of good, but it's kind of bad 
and like it's on that. 

1556
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:01,400
It's dancing on that line. 
But because it's in a better 

1557
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:03,960
movie, you're like, yeah, I 
think I can give it. 

1558
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:07,560
Literally in my film, all he 
does is he just tries to suck 

1559
01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:12,360
people's Dicks. 
He gets too high and he let's 

1560
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:15,120
some people into a club and then
fight as a secretary, not an 

1561
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:17,560
accountant. 
It's hard to take a movie this 

1562
01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:20,320
bad and be like, anyone is 
worthy of an Oscar in this 

1563
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:21,600
movie. 
But when the movie is much 

1564
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:24,680
better, you're like, OK, yeah, I
can see it. 

1565
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:27,080
What did the director do after 
this? 

1566
01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:30,320
He didn't really get to do much.
Shit, so this this like I. 

1567
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:33,240
Think maybe his career is 
coming, coming back round since 

1568
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:36,440
this has happened, but yeah. 
That's so upsetting. 

1569
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:39,320
Should we rate it? 
We should rate it, yeah. 

1570
01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:43,840
Oh, yeah. 
I think I'm going to just rate 

1571
01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:47,040
both, OK. 
And you don't, you can just rate

1572
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:50,680
the one that you saw. 
Yeah, I mean, what I will say is

1573
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:54,760
the version I saw as a Merrill 
is, is terrible. 

1574
01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:58,520
So I can't, I can't comment on 
the version you've seen. 

1575
01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:01,880
And it's like really bad. 
It's like shameful levels of 

1576
01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:06,600
quality. 
It's just got like a 90s glaze 

1577
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:10,200
on it that just does nothing. 
So as a film, I'm going to say 

1578
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:12,920
it's like a 2. 
Yeah, I think I'd probably say 

1579
01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:17,400
the same and maybe 3 Merrill's 
for the the heady version and 

1580
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:21,480
for the gay version, I think 
it's more like A7. 

1581
01:23:21,480 --> 01:23:24,680
Yeah, that's wild, isn't it? 
Wild. 

1582
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:27,760
Maybe, maybe that's a bit too 
generous, but and maybe like I 

1583
01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:30,200
want it to be better than it 
was, but it's, it's really hard 

1584
01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:35,320
to tell. 
But yeah like 6 or 7 and then 

1585
01:23:36,080 --> 01:23:40,440
Liza. 
I would say the gay version is 

1586
01:23:40,440 --> 01:23:46,000
less camp now than the heady 
version, which is so weird to 

1587
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:50,000
say, but somehow being afraid of
all the gay stuff is much camper

1588
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:52,680
than actually just making a 
bisexual movie. 

1589
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:55,480
Yeah, And like, as well, like, 
it's such a weird thing because 

1590
01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:59,360
like, obviously I was going to 
go so low camp on this knowing 

1591
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:03,040
that they just sanitized it for 
heterosexual audiences. 

1592
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:07,800
But now that the gay version has
come back and only further 

1593
01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:13,000
highlights how shit the hetero 
thing is, we're now in a thing 

1594
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:15,800
where this is suddenly becoming 
camp again because of this 

1595
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:17,440
existence. 
And I think if he hadn't have 

1596
01:24:17,440 --> 01:24:20,000
released this film, I would be 
like, no way. 

1597
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:22,440
Yeah, yeah. 
I think without the meta 

1598
01:24:22,440 --> 01:24:27,440
context, it's probably like, I 
don't know, A4 Lizers. 

1599
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:30,920
And I think with it, I'm, I'm 
also tempted to kind of go into 

1600
01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:32,720
like A7. 
Perfect. 

1601
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:35,520
Yeah. 
Well, having heard all of the 

1602
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:38,480
kind of plot points that have 
just completely solved and like 

1603
01:24:38,480 --> 01:24:40,760
better things and then what 
they're masking, I'm going to 

1604
01:24:40,760 --> 01:24:43,480
give it a six. 
My version It's quite calm. 

1605
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:46,800
And then I think I'll give the 
gay version. 

1606
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:51,760
It's got queer joy so I'll give 
it 6 Lizers. 

1607
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:57,000
I'll give it six eyes. 
It's very confusing story. 

1608
01:24:57,040 --> 01:24:59,200
Very confusing. 
There you go. 

1609
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:04,360
If you are listening, yeah, 
watch the gay version and then 

1610
01:25:04,360 --> 01:25:08,680
if you need more just go watch 
some of the extra scenes from 

1611
01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:10,920
the petty. 
Version I will say one thing. 

1612
01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:14,960
It is such an because we hear 
this all the time about test 

1613
01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:17,120
audiences, don't we? 
And like we've all seen like 

1614
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:21,080
directors cuts, but I don't 
think I've ever seen anything in

1615
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:23,400
this like level of commercial 
film that's been this much 

1616
01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:26,520
chopped around because of it 
being too gay. 

1617
01:25:26,520 --> 01:25:30,640
So it's a really interesting, 
like educational thing to, if 

1618
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:33,480
you're like interested in in 
Hollywood and cinema, totally 

1619
01:25:33,480 --> 01:25:37,320
kind of see what the how the 
studio works and what kind of 

1620
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:38,840
implications. 
Because there's lots of films 

1621
01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:41,840
where on paper they look great 
and then we know test audiences 

1622
01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:44,240
have taken out the ending and we
see the final product. 

1623
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:45,920
Yeah. 
So yeah, it just makes me want 

1624
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:48,400
to like, see more uncut stuff. 
Totally. 

1625
01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:50,120
Yeah. 
I think it's so interesting. 

1626
01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:54,320
It's so bizarre to me that 54 
has ended up being one of the 

1627
01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:57,160
movies I've like, had to do the 
most research. 

1628
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:04,920
Like I've watched it two to 
three times and like had to 

1629
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:07,200
consume so much media just 
comparing the two. 

1630
01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:10,360
It's like I don't need this much
brain space for 54. 

1631
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:12,840
But also, even that is just kind
of camp to me. 

1632
01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:15,480
Yeah, it's occupied. 
Yeah. 

1633
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:19,960
It's like quite mediocre movie. 
You are now like the expert 

1634
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:23,920
expert. 
On Well, there you go. 

1635
01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:29,080
That's 54. 
What a what a roller coaster 

1636
01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:31,040
it's been. 
I think you know what I don't 

1637
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:32,720
know about you, but I need some 
cocaine. 

1638
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:39,240
Bye. 
Get away from her, you bitch.
