Sorry, I'm just cringing. 241 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:44,160 As I said, oh, swung both ways. Oh greedy bisexuals. 242 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,920 I'm like, who the fuck am I? It feels reductive. 243 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,800 Sorry, listeners. Then Steve gets together with 244 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,200 Clint Culpepper who is the president of Screen Gems. 245 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,400 These two are in a relationship like a made-up company. 246 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,240 I know I've heard one. These two are in a relationship 247 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,200 for 20 years. Screen Gems is done like 248 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:09,160 Resident Evil, Easy A and basically Clint gets a call from 249 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,360 Christina's agent saying Christina wants to do a movie. 250 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,760 And him and Steve had already talked about how the pussy got 251 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,720 to also make a good movie. And so they're like, quick, 252 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,880 write something really fast, We'll get it to Christina. 253 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,000 And so it's all kind of happening at the same time, just 254 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,760 like everyone's in the right place, the right time. 255 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,360 Stevens got the PCD connection. He's got a boyfriend who has a 256 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,080 production company and and Christina's like, I want to do a 257 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,680 movie. And it's just like all kind of 258 00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:34,360 fell into place, but the movie was basically written for her. 259 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,080 Meanwhile, Nicole Shirt Singer is waiting in the wings, furious 260 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,280 that she hasn't been given this as a vehicle. 261 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,840 Yeah, yeah. I mean, I bet that was true, 262 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:42,360 actually. But. 263 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,600 I watched it this weekend. I didn't know any of The 264 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,680 Pussycat Dolls thing. I was like, what in The Pussycat 265 00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:49,040 Dolls is going on in this movie? And then you find all of this 266 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,720 out and you're like, oh. Yeah, because it is. 267 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,400 It is like a long form Pussycat Dolls music video, which fine, 268 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,640 I'm here for. Yeah, fine, no problems. 269 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,800 It had a budget of 55,000,000, which was the most expensive 270 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,520 movie Screen Gems had done at this point. 271 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,320 And it was a hit, modest hit at the box office, took 90 million. 272 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,280 So it didn't quite make its budget back. 273 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,080 But then it took another 50 million in an home video sales. 274 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,600 And it's had like quite an ongoing legacy. 275 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,520 One would say it's recently been is it? 276 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,840 Did it do Broadway? No, I think just West End. 277 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,480 I'm not sure it's good to do Broadway, but. 278 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,360 Is it still on? No, I don't think so. 279 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,280 Maybe. Touring. 280 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,480 Tour, Yeah. Probably and Lester, but. 281 00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:31,120 There's Todrick in it. Yeah, it's all very Todrick 282 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:35,400 Hall, isn't it? And but Chris Extina was one of 283 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,120 the executive producers, so she still claims it, whereas I 284 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,520 believe Cher. Cher has hate this about this 285 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,000 film. I also think she was pissed 286 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,480 because apparently her songs been dropped from the musical as 287 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,440 well. Maybe it hasn't actually. 288 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,560 Maybe I've just made that up, But she hates it. 289 00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:54,440 She hates this film, Yeah. I'll, I'll get to her her 290 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,040 review. It has it got a decidedly mixed 291 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,400 reviews from critics. I would say it has. 292 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:00,920 They weren't. Ready for its GP? 293 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:07,400 37% on Rotten Tomatoes and the website's critical consensus 294 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,480 reads Campi and cliched burlesque wastes it's talented 295 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,560 cast, including a better than expected Christina Aguilera on a 296 00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:17,480 movie that wavers uncertainly between bad and so bad it's 297 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,320 good, I think it's pretty fair I. 298 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,440 Mean, I feel like there may be odd jobs done. 299 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,200 Yeah. Because she is quite good in it, 300 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,200 yeah. She's quite good. 301 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,600 It also got 2 Razzie noms, worst actress and worst supporting 302 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,880 actress and people were upset at the time. 303 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,240 They said that that wasn't deserved. 304 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,880 Cher is in worst. Yeah, OK. 305 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,720 There's lots of things I think I would give this worst 306 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,400 screenplay, worst script, worst director. 307 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:42,600 Sure. I'm I'm not. 308 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,040 I don't think it deserves worst actress. 309 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,440 No, I I agree with you. Yeah, it's just that classic 310 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,840 thing of a of a singer dares put her head above the parapet and 311 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,040 try something artistic. She tries, she throws herself 312 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,600 out there in an acting role and people are just ready to tear 313 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,080 her down, aren't they? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 314 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,800 There isn't a lot of goodwill in the world for Christina. 315 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,240 Aguilera yeah. I mean, I have feelings about X 316 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,120 Tina in this movie that we'll get to, yeah. 317 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,280 OK, that's the context. Anything else we need to say? 318 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,600 I feel like I'm. I feel like I can feel the 319 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,440 stripy stockings on my legs. I feel like I'm in the world. 320 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,080 Yeah, like you're stepping it in, Yeah. 321 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,200 It's like a little sailor hand. Music. 322 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,000 I've had a little shake and it's like I'm going to turn and I. 323 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:37,520 And that is the opening scene. We meet Alice Marilyn Rose. 324 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,080 But listen, we're not in the world of burlesque yet. 325 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,000 Oh no. We're in acoustic serious. 326 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:44,320 Iowa. Iowa. 327 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,520 It's very crossroads coded. It's. 328 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,920 Very crossroads coded. Ali. 329 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,640 Marilyn Rose. Alice, Marilyn Rose. 330 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,120 I mean, she was always going to end up a stripper with that 331 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,480 name. I actually did a countdown to be 332 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:01,120 precise with time codes. 26 seconds in we see her and I'm 333 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:08,440 going to say it, bam wig. 26 seconds in and she's a 334 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,160 strawberry blonde. Banged. 335 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:16,600 Frizzy Dry No. I don't have any issues with 336 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,840 wigs but for this one I'm like why is XD wearing a wig? 337 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,800 It doesn't make any sense. Because it's like, it's, is it 338 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,080 really to like separate her from Christina and like character of 339 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,040 Ali? Make her a brunette. 340 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,480 Yes. Make her a brunette that when 341 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,280 she gets to LA she gets to start wearing wigs, you know, and that 342 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,840 can be the storyline, and then she's blonde. 343 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,840 No. But because that's, you know, 344 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,680 that's a journey we can all relate to the serious brunette 345 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,480 and the the slutty blonde. Like give us. 346 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,160 That. This makes no sense. 347 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,480 She's just like, it is such a bad wig. 348 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,280 Do you wear wigs? One of the worst wigs because 349 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,000 it's trying so hard to to to convince you it's not a. 350 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,080 Wig. Oh, honey, we get gas lit later 351 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,480 on down the line. Well, no, spoiler alert, we do 352 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,880 have you worn wigs? When when it's like Stanley 353 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,839 touchy, he goes to her. Oh, I think you look good with a 354 00:17:05,839 --> 00:17:06,599 Bob. And she's like. 355 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,560 I can't cutting my hair. Instead, we're going to cut your 356 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,839 hair wig. It's like, do not gaslight us 357 00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:15,280 into thinking this is your real hair from the start, you whore. 358 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:20,119 When will you wear wigs? Especially when she's lit in 359 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,160 daylight. There's a few shot like there's 360 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,240 that montage of her walking down the street in LA and she's doing 361 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,319 like the choreo. That light, that wig, could not 362 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,280 handle being seen in natural light. 363 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,320 And they're also like, oh, she's versatile. 364 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,120 I can tie her up a bit. It's a wig. 365 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,440 But do you know what the wig is wigging throughout this film? 366 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,120 So. It's a delight. 367 00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:44,920 Welcome to the podcast Christina Aguilera's Wig. 368 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,360 There we go.

The one thing just before we 370 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,400 move, I mean we're never going to, but I was watching the 371 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,680 making of and the makeup artist is talking about how at the 372 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,400 beginning of the movie when you first meet her, she's so fresh 373 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:11,680 faced, innocent, no makeup. She is. 374 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,880 That's a funny 1. She is caked. 375 00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:17,240 Yeah. Every. 376 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,560 You've never see Christina without like a full cut crease, 377 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,600 smoky eye, like a pan stick all over the face. 378 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,560 She is caked in makeup from the second you see her. 379 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,680 And that's what you expect from Christina Aguilera. 380 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,160 But don't try and tell me she's an innocent girl with no makeup, 381 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,560 fresh faced, just turned, just turned up and. 382 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,120 And yeah, it's wild. This. 383 00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:41,640 Is like, you know, I don't want to be 1 of someone to put the 384 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,720 Britney and Ekstina against each other. 385 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,720 But like, at least that is what what Britney did do. 386 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,720 Well, the all American girl, like, oh, look at me without a 387 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,440 stitch of makeup on my eye. But like Xena is, she's ready. 388 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,640 She's already at the boudoir. She's ready to perform. 389 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,800 It would have it would have been a good idea again, make her 390 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,360 brunette and let's have her bare faced at the opening scene. 391 00:19:04,360 --> 00:19:08,600 Or at least, you know, a light coverage and maybe a bit of 392 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,760 mascara. But like, let's see her be that 393 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,280 girl. It's an interesting thing 394 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,640 because I find the whole sort of like meeting Ali for the first 395 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,800 time really interesting because it's interesting that, like, not 396 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,520 only are the hair and makeup artist team gaslighting us into 397 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,360 believing that she's this like small time girl, but like from 398 00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:28,480 the get go, Ali's not particularly like hometown, you 399 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,840 know, with big dreams, like something a bit different. 400 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,440 She's already a bit of a bitch, like from the get go. 401 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,280 Do you know what I mean? She's not she's not this like 402 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,400 girl that then gets, you know, seduced by the world of 403 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,800 burlesque and become something. She's a pretty nasty character. 404 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,240 And I have camp clues throughout the film that that keep this in 405 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:48,800 mind. But yeah, from the get go, she's 406 00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:50,640 she's saying I'm taking what's mine. 407 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:51,760 She knows what she wants, doesn't she? 408 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,640 She's taking money from the register, she's giving it to her 409 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,800 workmate and she's I think she's already quite edgy. 410 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,240 Yeah, I actually quite quite like that about this. 411 00:20:01,360 --> 00:20:04,360 You're like 2 minutes into the movie and you already know 412 00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:05,640 everything you need to know about this girl. 413 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,080 She's down on her luck, she's got big dreams, she won't be 414 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,960 taken advantage of, and she sounds like a foghorn. 415 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,160 I get a feeling that I never, never, never, never had before. 416 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,320 No, she can belt it. She yeah, she's getting out of 417 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,480 this town. She closes up shop and she sings 418 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:28,960 some Etta James. And it is. 419 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,320 It is a belter. It's a belter and I particularly 420 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,880 love the intercut with the very, very cheap ass PCD wannabes. 421 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,440 Yeah, who was it from? The burlesque show? 422 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:39,960 Just to kind of tease what's about to happen. 423 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:45,040 But they look cheap. So she moves to LA to chase her 424 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,760 dreams. It with the smallest suitcase in 425 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,640 the world, might I add. Nobody has a suitcase that 426 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,960 small. No, she she gets asked at the 427 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,320 bus station one way return and she says you're kidding, right? 428 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,120 I liked that line. That was like maybe the best 429 00:20:58,120 --> 00:21:01,960 written line in the whole movie. Too bad it happens 2 minutes in. 430 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,240 Yeah, we're, I mean, we're already in, we're in the world 431 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,800 of showgirls, aren't we? And do you think that might have 432 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:09,840 been a reference for this? Movie. 433 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,080 What a delight. What a delight. 434 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,720 This is showgirl's younger sister who isn't quite ready to 435 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:19,120 be exposed to the sex, drugs and lesbianism of showgirls. 436 00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:22,400 And it's like, no, you can this, this is like Barbie's little 437 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:23,840 sister. What was she called? 438 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,440 Oh, I don't know, You know what I mean? 439 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,000 But it's like what? That one's safe for you to play 440 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:29,760 with this. That's what this movie is. 441 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,360 But we're always happy to see, you know, a girl chasing. 442 00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:35,040 Her dreams. And like Nomi's little sister, 443 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,200 Ali is a bit like, oh, I'm sick of my crazy bitch older sister. 444 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,320 Like she's so like, Ali's more. Yeah. 445 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,840 And. There's a montage of beautiful 446 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:49,280 people by Marilyn Monroe. Monroe, I mean. 447 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,400 Marilyn. Manson, which again slightly 448 00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:00,080 problematic, flared to it. I also enjoy that she so she's 449 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,000 in her apartment, isn't she where she's staying? 450 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,040 And it's such a rough place, but it has a postcard available 451 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:08,680 where she can go. I'm here. 452 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,360 Oh yeah. It's like we can't be that bad 453 00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:15,040 if there's like a postcard and then but then straight away she 454 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,520 rips it up and can't clue again why Christina Aguilera in this 455 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,160 film is a bad person. She just litters out the window. 456 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,040 She's just like, fuck LA and just throwing it out. 457 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,960 Yeah. So there's going to be a little 458 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,880 camp clues as to why she's the worst human. 459 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,080 Being great. So great. 460 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,160 I'm ready. I'm ready. 461 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:31,640 Yeah. She's. 462 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,600 She can't find a dancing job. No surprising really. 463 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,200 Have you seen how she does job hunting? 464 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,840 She just walks around and then just crosses things. 465 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,800 Like this girl wearing this really weird wig came in and 466 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,360 asked for a job. And then she's just parading 467 00:22:44,360 --> 00:22:46,200 down the street. She doesn't look like she's 468 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,680 really hunting. For jobs, but. 469 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,200 She I love that trope in a film. I love it so much. 470 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,280 I mean, he should have done it. There's a film, Dolly Parton 471 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,320 Straight Talk, which does it beautifully, the same scene, but 472 00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,200 she does it with like, red lipstick and red nail varnish 473 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,040 straight. It just crosses off things with 474 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,480 red nail varnish and it's just perfect. 475 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,400 Yeah. And again, in that film, you see 476 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,560 Dolly go in for the different jobs and there's a bit where 477 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,400 she's dancing. And then at the end, this guy 478 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,000 goes, great, now show us your tits. 479 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,560 And it's all, it's all they should have. 480 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,080 They should have referenced that more in this. 481 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,120 Right. But they were. 482 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,600 Yeah. This was not a tawdry movie. 483 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,680 This is a classy movie. This isn't strippers because Ali 484 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,960 turns up at the burlesque club and she's like, is this a strip 485 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,200 club? And how do we know it's a 486 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,120 burlesque club? Because Alan Cummings is there. 487 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,840 Alan Cummings is there. He works the door. 488 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:38,000 As the MC for a yeah. And he says the the only poll 489 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,440 you'll find in here is the shock girl. 490 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,640 Is that what he says? Something like that, yeah. 491 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,880 Yeah, Alan Cumming horribly wasted in this movie. 492 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,560 Yeah, I know. It's just like he's literally 493 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,360 just playing a cartoon version of himself. 494 00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:53,200 Yeah, quickly, before she gets in, I just want to point out 495 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,680 when she's drawn into the. Yeah, the Burlesque Lounge, it's 496 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:57,120 called. It would. 497 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:58,760 You would have thought it would have had a slightly more 498 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,440 interesting name. Yes, The Burlesque Lounge isn't 499 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,840 it. And we see the stripey tights. 500 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,560 She has stripey tights. She's pulling them up, not 501 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,480 fishnet. It's just like circusy stripey 502 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,120 tights. And it looks like Ali is 503 00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:15,080 cruising her from afar because Ali also is a massive cruiser in 504 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,720 this film. She is like trying to fuck 505 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,000 everyone. With you're right, you're right. 506 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,720 I mean, this whole the number of times in this movie that it 507 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,640 someone's performing and it cuts to someone in the audience 508 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,520 watching. Wanting. 509 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:29,240 Yeah. Waiting. 510 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,360 Or like, or they're either like, oh, I want that. 511 00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:34,200 I could do that. Or they're like, oh, I'm 512 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,160 casually impressed. Or oh, I'm pissed that she's 513 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,800 doing so well. It's just like, how many 514 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,960 reaction shots can we have in a single movie? 515 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:47,160 So she's at the burlesque club and then we see Cher. 516 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,360 Being Cher. Chair welcome to burlesque. 517 00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:55,240 She performs one of three songs in this movie with the word 518 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,120 burlesque in the title. A hard word I'd say to like fit 519 00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:02,480 into a song. Oh well, not not not if you're 520 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,080 in this movie. Still have a lot of rhyming 521 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,360 words. It's it's quite clunky. 522 00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:09,160 No one's really quite sure how to use it. 523 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,960 Like, are you welcoming? You're welcome to burlesque, but 524 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,720 you can also show you how to burlesque. 525 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,560 So it's a verb and a noun and a place and a thing and a. 526 00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:21,880 Yeah, it's a lifestyle. Do we want to say anything about 527 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,480 Cher's opening performance? I'm sold straight away. 528 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,320 I mean, what's the not to love about? 529 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:31,200 Yeah, Cher. I mean, she looked great. 530 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,720 I love the choreography. I love. 531 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,520 I just love love. I'm just like, look at me, I'm a 532 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,600 fucking mess. I used to share. 533 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,840 No, it's great. Yeah, it's, I hate to be this 534 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,960 faggy, but yeah, it's just like, wow, I love looking at Cher. 535 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,520 It's as simple as that. It's just like. 536 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,160 One of one of the best lids are eyelids. 537 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,280 You just want to like look at her eyes with shimmers on them. 538 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,440 It's so nice. I what I will say is this is 539 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,920 where we get to a point where, you know, no matter what what 540 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,480 happens with the rest of the movie, you you actually are 541 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,000 looking at like really well choreographed type musical 542 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,120 numbers. They're actually shot this is 543 00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:17,080 like 15 years old now, this film isn't it? 544 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,920 And they're actually they're shot beautifully. 545 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,360 Like they the musical sequence is because they're referencing 546 00:26:22,360 --> 00:26:26,200 something from like a past style aren't really that dated. 547 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,960 They are kind of just beautifully shot numbers. 548 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,280 So again with that I'm like and tick. 549 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,160 Yeah, and Cher sounds great, and I think she's very well cast in 550 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,840 this, like it's a, it's a great role for her, even though she 551 00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,840 now hates the movie. Christina also meets Jack the 552 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,520 bartender. I will say so I've just looked 553 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:46,640 at my yeah, we're about to find out that like the the club's in 554 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,600 trouble. There's a few clues as to why 555 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,640 it's in trouble. Have you looked at the fucking 556 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,240 club? The amount of lights, the set, 557 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,320 there's like 20 dances. The number of staff working 558 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,280 backstage. The band, how many people? 559 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,240 There's like a live band that are introduced. 560 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,040 If you if like whenever you see Christina backstage, there's 561 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,640 always like 20 people running around with headsets that are 562 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,000 like sound and light people like. 563 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,480 Whoa, this is a small burlesque lounge. 564 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,200 And frankly, the running cost of that, like of course you're 565 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,320 going to be in trouble. It's giving like the biggest 566 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,840 West End show you've ever seen level levels of staff. 567 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,320 One of production, yeah. Spectacular, yeah. 568 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,360 But this is like 7 nights a week. 569 00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:33,400 Yeah. Like we've we've worked in what 570 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,760 I would say would actually technically be the equivalent of 571 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,160 this place. I'd say Bethel and Green Working 572 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,520 Men's Club is a good example of like, yeah, Cabaret Lounge 573 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,240 rundown down on its luck. How many staff do you think we 574 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,280 ever had? Maybe one person on the door if 575 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,680 we're lucky, one person on tech, and maybe someone helping with 576 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,520 stage. Yeah, maximum, maximum. 577 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,440 Yeah, Well, one thing though, I particularly enjoy how moved 578 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,320 Extina was by Cher's performance at the end of it, because she is 579 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,600 literally breathless. She's like panting or she's 580 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,560 having a stroke. I couldn't work it out, but I 581 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,120 was. Yeah, she was moved. 582 00:28:10,120 --> 00:28:11,880 Yeah, I think. But as you just said, I think 583 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,200 that's what we would be like. Imagine if you still share do 584 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:14,720 that. You'd be. 585 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,840 Totally. I also think it's a, it's 586 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,640 actually a very accurate representation of what does 587 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,640 happen if you are a certain kind of person and you go to a really 588 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,720 good cabaret show or really good burlesque show or a really good 589 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,520 drag show and you see it for the first time. 590 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,000 You are like that, yeah. You're kind of hooked and 591 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,120 you're, you suddenly become that annoying person who wants to go 592 00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:35,400 backstage and tell everyone how amazing they are and ask how you 593 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:36,480 can do it. And I want to do it. 594 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,880 Can I join a class? And and I mean, that is 595 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,800 literally what happened to me. Yeah, like it. 596 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,720 I went to a alternative burlesque show in Montreal and I 597 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,280 was like, oh, I want to do that. And so then I did, and I started 598 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,760 burlesque shows. And started kissing arse with 599 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,680 everyone backstage and yeah, doing all of that, yeah. 600 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,960 I mean, yeah, because obviously I fully understand. 601 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,040 We, we meet a new character now, don't we? 602 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,320 We meet Nikki. Nikki. 603 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:05,000 And she instantly dismisses Exteno as like go get me a 604 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,600 martini. Like fuck off basically. 605 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,200 And it's like, I've been that person. 606 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,040 Like get out of the fucking dressing room. 607 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,320 You don't belong here. It's the worst thing ever. 608 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,320 Fuck off. We're literally in the middle of 609 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,800 the show. There's no space and now you've 610 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,240 seen a mirror and you're not even performing and now you want 611 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,640 to look at yourself. It's like, honestly it is the 612 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,520 worst thing as any performer to have people all backstage in a 613 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:25,760 dressing room that don't belong there. 614 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,280 Oh, I just have a drink. I just like. 615 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,640 It's one, it's one thing after the show if like everyone's 616 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,080 relaxing, blah, blah, blah, but like, yeah, don't go backstage 617 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,280 during the numbers. But there is a camp clue here. 618 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,040 Just before this we've met. What's his name? 619 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,880 Who's the love interest guy? Jack. 620 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:44,680 Jack. Yeah. 621 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,360 Another camp clue as to why Christina Aguilera in this film 622 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:52,680 was a terrible person because of her homophobia that she scatters 623 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,040 throughout the film. Yes. 624 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,960 So she says something along the lines that he's gay. 625 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,280 What? You wear more eyeliner than me? 626 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,680 So just just what? Listen out. 627 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,400 She's also transphobic because backstage with Kristen Bell 628 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,880 Nikki, she says no one would ever know you're a dude, which 629 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,480 apparently was supposed to be a joke that she looks like a drag 630 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:14,240 queen. But. 631 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,760 Yeah, it reads as yeah. So, yeah. 632 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,400 So again, we in this movie, we're meant to be buying the 633 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,640 Ali's the New Girl. She's innocent. 634 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:27,680 No, she's coming in backstage. She's like ripping apart people 635 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,680 and being transphobic. So yeah, not exactly the most 636 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:35,360 likeable character so far, but. Christina also played Samantha 637 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,920 on a Sex and the City sketch on Saturday Night Live, and the gag 638 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,080 at the end of that sketch was her saying I'm a dude. 639 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,320 That's not the first time she's made a transphobic joke. 640 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,400 Literally calling someone a woman a dude. 641 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:49,760 So there. Well. 642 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,680 There we go. That's that's lovely for her, 643 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:52,680 isn't it? Yeah, Oh. 644 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,000 Sorry, Kristen Bell. Kristen Bell. 645 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,480 You know who else went up for that role? 646 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,560 Who? Jessica Biel Fine and Lindsay 647 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,120 Lohan. Can you imagine? 648 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,960 Now I'm seeing it. Yeah, I'm seeing it. 649 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,360 Yeah. I mean, Kristen Bell was like, I 650 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,640 saw an interview and she was like, oh, I feel so grateful 651 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,440 that they saw something in me, that they saw the the darkness 652 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:14,640 in me and gave me the chance to play. 653 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,040 And I get that. As an actor, that's what you 654 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,120 meant to do. She's not enough for me. 655 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,560 Yeah, she's not enough. She doesn't sell. 656 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,520 I've seen her. She's obviously played a bitch 657 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,280 many times, like in the Good Place. 658 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,560 She's kind of doing a great version of that character 659 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,400 doesn't work in this one for some reason. 660 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,200 She's she's not, she's not arch enough. 661 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,120 Yeah, she's not giving headliner. 662 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,000 She's like, there's something a bit too kind of normal about 663 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:39,880 her. Yeah. 664 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,560 Whereas it's like, I feel like if they really were going to 665 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,600 nail this character, it should be that like we've, we've all 666 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,400 seen them like the untouchable burlester like. 667 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,800 Sure, that would have. Been good for them where they 668 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,920 are like and they know how to turn it on, but they also know 669 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,400 how to fucking give you a look like you're a piece of fucking 670 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,080 shit without saying anything. You also just think about like 671 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,040 Emily Blunt in The Devil Wears Prada and how well she sells 672 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,040 cunt. Yeah, and that's missing here. 673 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:09,840 And maybe it's because the comedy isn't there in this 674 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,200 movie, but. But it's also just that thing of 675 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:19,240 like, I do think Exene probably would have been better by the 676 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,560 bad girl. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 677 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,280 It's it is hard to park everything you know about 678 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,400 Christina and then place her as like innocent. 679 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,720 Yeah, at this time, she didn't have a particularly great 680 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,080 reputation for being a kind yeah diva. 681 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,560 Like, you know, you, you hear a lot of pop stars talking about 682 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,160 each other and there's people like Mary J Blige saying how 683 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,280 mean and nasty she is. Oh, really? 684 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:47,720 Yeah. There's a bunch of people round 685 00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,240 about this time that are. And I don't want to be like, oh, 686 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,600 XD is the worst person in the world. 687 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,640 But there's like, she had a bit of a reputation for not being 688 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,400 the nicest person who said she needs to be nice to people 689 00:32:58,400 --> 00:32:59,400 anyway. But like, yeah. 690 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,280 So there's a waitress shortage in the bar, so Ally just picks 691 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,560 up a tray and begins serving. She's like, I'm just going to 692 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,400 make them give me a job. And so she gets a job, wedding 693 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,280 tables, and she we get a montage of her watching the shows and 694 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,960 learning the ropes and she's like, she's watching, she's 695 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,000 watching the burlesque shows and just fantasizing about being in 696 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,480 the numbers. There's another clue why this 697 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,400 place is going down. Did you see the way they were 698 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,600 pouring the drinks, the free pouring? 699 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,520 They are literally pouring and it's like pouring, overflowing 700 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,360 on the thing. I'm like, we need to do an audit 701 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,640 on the bar here guys because you are just pouring spirits on the 702 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:33,720 floor. Honey. 703 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,400 This is how you throw a party, amigo. 704 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,280 Nose bitch. We learned the club is in 705 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,240 financial stress as you've said, and then that we meet hot jerk 706 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:44,280 Marcus who wants to buy the club and turn it into condos but Cher 707 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,760 doesn't want to sell. I wonder what will happen there. 708 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:48,560 It's like. Oh God. 709 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,320 Can we also mention Stanley Tucci as? 710 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,840 Well, yeah, yeah. Playing gay? 711 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:58,440 Yeah, same gay this guy in every single gay film he's in. 712 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:01,800 Yeah, it's, is it OK? I mean, he does well. 713 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,320 He does do very well. He's, he's really good gay. 714 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,199 It's very that errors idea of gay. 715 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,719 It's Queer Eye gay, isn't it? It's like very palatable, kind 716 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,600 of desexed. Well, and he does get a bit 717 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,280 later and. I think actually the way he that 718 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,520 plays out with him because he's kind of like Blase about it and 719 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,280 just like, yeah, I kind of don't hate it, but he is playing the 720 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:27,920 same characters. The Devil Wears Prado. 721 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,639 It's exactly the same. In fact, they could be he could 722 00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:36,520 be like he's he's in the magazine and but I particularly 723 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,600 enjoy something he says, which I think is very you coded because 724 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,960 he's like people come to see the girls dance and lip sync to the 725 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,880 great singers and not sing live. And I just was like, wow, 726 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,880 that's, that's Crystal's opinion on drag right there. 727 00:34:51,600 --> 00:35:00,840 Look, if you Can't Sing incredibly well, lip sync lol 728 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,920 stare. Yeah. 729 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,800 I just think also there's quite a few people who who are great 730 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:13,400 lip synchers and good dancers who don't need it anyway. 731 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,000 Christina's apartment get Ally. Christina's apartment gets 732 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,440 broken into and she loses all her money, so she moves in with. 733 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,480 That happens when you tempt a toilet. 734 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:25,320 Yes, stupid. Haven't you seen Coyote Ugly? 735 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,560 That literal plot point happens. Well, that's because they had 736 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,960 seconds to write the dialogue for this, so they're like, fuck, 737 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:33,440 add something in like that, yeah. 738 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,480 Yeah, this movie, The plots of this movie and Coyote Ugly are 739 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:38,240 the same. Yeah. 740 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,840 But yeah, she. She moves in with Jack 741 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,760 temporarily. And then Georgia, this is Julian 742 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,720 Hoff. She's one of the lead dancers, 743 00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:48,720 becomes pregnant, so the auditions are held in search of 744 00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:52,000 her replacement. And Ali storms on stage even 745 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,320 though she wasn't invited to audition and she. 746 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,160 She. Kind of. 747 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,080 She performs, according to Wikipedia, a difficult dance 748 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:03,240 routine, Wagon Wheel, what to see, and she persuades Tess to 749 00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:05,120 hire her. Now, this is, I think, the first 750 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,920 time we're really seeing Christina move. 751 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:09,760 It's not. It's not great. 752 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,960 It's fucking terrible. It's like, it's like now we're 753 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,920 watching an SNL sketch because it's like we've really hyped up 754 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,360 how much she wants it. We've hyped up all of the kind 755 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,640 of performers in the show. So you're kind of expecting it 756 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,920 to like really kill it and it is just. 757 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,000 She can't. Just like a little chipmunk. 758 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,800 She can't really do the wagon wheel to see, turns out. 759 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,240 She can't keep his eyes off of her. 760 00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:39,840 Yeah, it's, it's tough. I mean, I actually watched like, 761 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,040 what the Wagon, what the Watusi is. 762 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,600 It's like a 50s dance craze. It is kind of what she's doing. 763 00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,360 So they were like doing something referencing. 764 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:52,880 But yeah, the camera can't do long shots of Christina when 765 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,920 she's doing the choreo, I feel, because we can just see that she 766 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,440 can't really do it. And then you contrast that with 767 00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,080 like Elizabeth Berkley and Showgirls and you're like, OK. 768 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,680 She's. Manic extra, whatever. 769 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,960 But like, it's fun to watch her move. 770 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,240 Yeah. And you don't feel comfortable 771 00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:11,280 watching Christina do it, do you, Tom? 772 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,320 My husband is a dancer, and he was watching us, Like, 773 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:17,960 straighten your arms extend. He was so angry with her. 774 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,320 No. I mean what kind of turn was 775 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,000 that? Do a PK turn. 776 00:37:21,720 --> 00:37:23,720 Well, she's not here to just be a dancer. 777 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,400 She's here because she is the voice. 778 00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,160 Well, we'll get to that, but that kind of sums up one of my 779 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,040 problems with this movie. But she gets hired. 780 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:32,280 She she gets a spot in the show and. 781 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,000 Then the ray of light by Madonna comes in and we are like oh this 782 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,920 is actually has happened in Devil Wears Prada with Stanley 783 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,080 too. She's. 784 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,120 And him showing her the ropes while Ray of Light and while 785 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,480 she's learning. It was vogue in Devil Wears 786 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,600 Prada. OK, but but Ray of light is in 787 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,960 Devil Wears Prada is that? So are you thinking of And 788 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,240 suddenly I see. No, I'm pretty sure ray of 789 00:37:54,240 --> 00:37:56,880 lights in there as well. It's like a montage thing. 790 00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,760 I could be wrong but I'm that's why I was like I've been here 791 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,720 before. Yeah, it's the exact exact same 792 00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:04,440 thing. And yeah, you're just watching 793 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,520 Christina walking down the street with her earbuds in, 794 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,760 practicing the choreo as she walks down the street. 795 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,480 She's going to get this. She's committed. 796 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,280 She's going to learn it. She's still wearing that wig 797 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,800 though. So it's busy, busy, busy. 798 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,640 Life of a show girl. Life of a show girl. 799 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,920 Life of a show girl. Ends of the day. 800 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,040 Oh, oh, girls, do you want to go and get some pizza? 801 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,080 Yeah, I love that. And then they like, just go down 802 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,520 the stairs. Thing is, she's left alone. 803 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,280 She hasn't got a pizza. She can see them walking down 804 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:31,840 the stairs. She. 805 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,520 Could just followed them. Yeah, it's not like they've run 806 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:35,920 off. No, but no. 807 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,280 So there. Was an open invitation. 808 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:38,560 Yeah. Yeah. 809 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,320 Poor Christina. Left all alone. 810 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:41,880 Just go with the girls. You've got to. 811 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,840 We've already learned you're the kind of girl who goes after it. 812 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,080 Also, what is pizza code word for? 813 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,960 Because those girls are not eating pizza with their bodies. 814 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,120 Right. Cocaine, yeah. 815 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,360 Yeah, let's go and have some cocaine. 816 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,400 Or in show girls it would be you guys want to go smoke some 817 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,480 grass, which is nice. Yes. 818 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,960 Oh God, whenever you compare it to show girls and you're like oh 819 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,120 if this was show girls someone would have their tits out and 820 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,120 they'd be talking about getting fucked. 821 00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:10,000 No boohoo. Christina So then she's in the 822 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,000 mirror and. With a full face of makeup 823 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,200 already. On yeah. 824 00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:18,280 And Cher comes in and is like, let me help you do your makeup. 825 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,880 And they have a bonding scene where Cher does her makeup. 826 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,280 What I would say is that she does actually put eyeliner on 827 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:24,800 her. Yes, she does put eyeliner on. 828 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:31,720 I counted the seconds. It took Cher 10 seconds to paint 829 00:39:31,720 --> 00:39:34,560 on that red lip. And like, I'm not a makeup 830 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:38,320 person, but you look at how precise that red lip is. 831 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,920 That is not a 10 second with a paintbrush. 832 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,960 Oh no bitch, no. What in the sorcery is going on? 833 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,480 That is probably I think the campus thing in this film is 834 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,080 that Cher puts on lipstick that Immaculate in 10 seconds. 835 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,800 Yeah, well, Christina always looks like she's been shot in 836 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,920 the face by that makeup gun from The Simpsons. 837 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:55,920 Dad. Women won't like being shot in 838 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,000 the face. And so maybe that's what Cher 839 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,800 did, like in the cut. She just, like, pulled the 840 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,360 trigger on the makeup gun. Yeah. 841 00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:07,520 But we're getting really getting to see their acting skills in 842 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,040 this scene. Do you think Cher made-up these 843 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,000 lines? The clip that first scene they 844 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,840 did together was the scene where Christina's like barging into 845 00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:18,680 the dressing room and she's trying to get Cher to listen to 846 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:20,760 her and then she has to like, keep talking, blah, blah, blah. 847 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,880 And she said Stanley Tucci. And the Cher just immediately 848 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,040 started ad libbing. And she was totally thrown 849 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,120 because she had her lines all memorized and then nothing was 850 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:29,520 correct. And she was like, fuck, what do 851 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:30,880 I do? And so she just had to go with 852 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,640 it. Yeah, because like Cher wasn't 853 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,240 Cher just like this dialogue is terrible. 854 00:40:35,240 --> 00:40:37,080 Yeah, because. And yeah, because I've seen Cher 855 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,200 talking about that as well. And she just said that her and 856 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,360 Stanley took. She was just like hamming it up, 857 00:40:41,720 --> 00:40:44,680 going full on. And she was like, Christina was 858 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:45,720 hot. She was. 859 00:40:45,720 --> 00:40:49,080 And I'm like, Oh, yeah, So OK, fair play to Christina for 860 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,080 keeping up because you do kind of see that with some of Cher's 861 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,000 dialogue. There's a bit of a kind of a 862 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,000 cooler edge to it. And it would make sense if she's 863 00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,240 just sort of doing it in her own way. 864 00:40:59,240 --> 00:41:01,280 Yeah. Because it doesn't seem as. 865 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,520 I mean, the plot points are still Pony, but a lot of her 866 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,160 reactions to things are a bit more. 867 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,280 I know what you mean. I agree. 868 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,680 Yeah, But that I mean, that makeup scene. 869 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,640 This movie also has one of my favorite bad things, which is 870 00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,320 just like people constantly rubbing dry clean makeup brushes 871 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,080 across the their face as though they're doing something just 872 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:22,320 like big fluffy brushes, just bashing their cheeks with them. 873 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,480 You're like, what are you doing? What are you? 874 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,920 Why are you holding an eyelash spoolie? 875 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:28,120 What are you? What are you doing with that? 876 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:31,960 There's nothing on it constantly like so many times in this 877 00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:33,920 movie. Rant, rant, rant. 878 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,160 Makeup you. Ever just realized how much of A 879 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:37,720 cliche of yourself you've become? 880 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:44,920 Yes, it feels reductive. OK I bet I literally couldn't 881 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,280 speak when we were talking about the first share number. 882 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,880 I was left deemed speechless by it. 883 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,600 Ali replaces Nikki one night on stage after Nikki is too 884 00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:58,760 intoxicated to perform. Well, that's, sorry, that's not 885 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,040 factually correct because let me tell you as someone with 886 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:05,080 performance experience, you can never be too intoxicated to go 887 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,920 on the stage. So that is an that's not correct 888 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,000 about the burlesque world. I should know. 889 00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:15,200 I have. I have performed at places where 890 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:16,560 they don't let you drink. Really. 891 00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,360 Yeah. Like theatre, it doesn't let 892 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,200 you, does it? Was like someone who ran the 893 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,080 club was like, I don't like people drinking backstage. 894 00:42:25,240 --> 00:42:26,960 You get the best performances I think. 895 00:42:27,240 --> 00:42:28,920 Sorry. From drunk people. 896 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,480 Sorry, I know it's a toxic thing to say, but it does take the 897 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:33,880 edge off. It does take the edge off I. 898 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,400 Like to rock out. I like to go nuts. 899 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:41,040 I like to lose myself on stage, but once again, so Extin has 900 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,480 been offered the role. Oh, but I wouldn't want to step 901 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,760 on anyone's toes. Sure you wouldn't Ally. 902 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,080 You are like the most cutthroat bitch there is. 903 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:51,560 What is it? Gina Gershon says. 904 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:55,840 If you're standing there hoping for a spot, someone gets in your 905 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,520 way, step on them. If you're the only one left 906 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:04,320 standing there, they hire you. That is the lesson that she that 907 00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:05,920 ally. Is where we realized that Ally 908 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,400 isn't Nomi's little sister. She's actually. 909 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:09,760 Crystals. Crystals. 910 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:14,640 Yeah, that's actually she's. Their daughter, because they had 911 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,880 a child together, which obviously does happen if you 912 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,320 were to continue the story of show goals. 913 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:22,120 Oh, my God. Ali is the daughter of Naomi and 914 00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:23,720 Crystal. I see it. 915 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:25,440 She's both of them. Yeah. 916 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,640 Oh my God. Do you think that she got she 917 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,680 was like poking holes in Julianne Hoff's boyfriend's 918 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,240 condom to get her pregnant so she could get her spot? 919 00:43:37,240 --> 00:43:42,480 Yes, totally, totally. Throwing. 920 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,480 Beads rent his car. I mean, that would make a great 921 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,720 film. So Ali's on stage in Nicki's 922 00:43:48,720 --> 00:43:53,160 spot, and Nicki's pissed, so she tries to sabotage it by turning 923 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,680 off the music. And you know what Ali does? 924 00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:04,840 She's got a secret weapon. Oh no, I won't share. 925 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:09,160 I mean, this is a camp clue, a moment where the music cuts out 926 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:13,080 and someone has to just rely on their natural talents to 927 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:14,880 succeed. Mean Girls. 928 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:19,040 Yeah, yes. I think it happens in A Star is 929 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,400 Born. It doesn't Lady Gaga do that? 930 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:22,160 I. Haven't seen that. 931 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,200 Film, right? Well, I think it happens. 932 00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:25,680 I think it happens in Coyote Ugly. 933 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,560 There's that Hilary Duff clip. Oh, it happens in glitter with 934 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,680 Mariah Carey as well. Yes, the exact same thing. 935 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,080 It's almost like they've gone. What happened in glitter again? 936 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,760 Like this movie, you know you're in trouble if you're going to 937 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,520 glitter for a plot. Point, I mean, we'll cover 938 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:44,960 glitter at some point, yeah, but yeah, camp clue, Ali impresses. 939 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,440 She just belts it out and everyone's like, Oh my God, the 940 00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,280 girl can sing. Is like the most cliche looking 941 00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,000 prostitute I've ever seen in my life. 942 00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:55,760 They've got full on prozzie with these outfits. 943 00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:59,680 I love it. But she's like a prostitute from 944 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,560 like, like a top of Streets of Rage. 945 00:45:02,720 --> 00:45:05,960 Yeah, Tom of Finland. Like, yeah, it's like. 946 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,840 It's leather zips. Yeah, it's, it's hot. 947 00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:10,920 Yeah, she looks fucking great. But. 948 00:45:11,240 --> 00:45:15,560 Everyone's so impressed with Ali's voice that Cher decides to 949 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,920 build a whole new show around her because people are going to 950 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,400 pay to see her. And one thing they must have is 951 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,800 time to rehearse and change musical direction for all of 952 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,320 this. Yeah, let's go. 953 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,960 So then we get more shows, more montages, more wages. 954 00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,480 A good girl, which we said. Sensational, utter, utter, 955 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,240 cinematic masterpiece. I would love to be part of that 956 00:45:35,240 --> 00:45:36,600 performance. I just want to say it. 957 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,240 That's a great look. This is where she unveils the 958 00:45:39,240 --> 00:45:41,120 Bob. Yeah, and she's like rolling 959 00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,080 around. In the cinema, she really she 960 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,760 really sells the the she really sells this number. 961 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,920 Yeah, she doesn't sell them all, as I said, like her dancing. 962 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,000 It doesn't bear up under like close scrutiny, but when it's 963 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,880 like a really produced a fun looking number, I think she does 964 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:57,480 a great. Job and within these medley we 965 00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:01,440 get more tension between Nikki and Ali as well so we get Nikki 966 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:06,880 saying oh you're the farm girl from Iowa and then Ali returns 967 00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:10,840 that with we know a cow when we see one that's a good line yeah 968 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,920 it just rolls off the tongue for Ali though doesn't. 969 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,400 It Ali starts dating Marcus because Jack is has a fiance so 970 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,760 he's not interested. So we find out about dead mum. 971 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,000 That's phone Dead mum. That's just a picture though, 972 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,040 isn't it? It's a Bob we learn about air 973 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,360 rights. Oh yes, we're learning a lot of 974 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:27,960 stuff. Very. 975 00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:29,480 Quickly. Yeah, it's all happening, this 976 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:34,360 interspersed montage. Really just someone someone has 977 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:38,000 come up with air rights now. This is very ChatGPT. 978 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,120 Preform. It's like, right, I'm writing a 979 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,560 story I need to come up with like an interesting plot that's 980 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:46,560 going to hang off of everything else. 981 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,320 When Air Rights comes up. It's it's really. 982 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:54,240 Weird. It is such a bonkers like plot 983 00:46:54,240 --> 00:46:56,920 device to hang a movie on, but I love it. 984 00:46:57,240 --> 00:46:58,360 I wouldn't have it any other way. 985 00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:02,240 And then Cher sings her big ballad written by Diane Warren. 986 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,640 The song won a Golden Globe I. Must say, where's the dance 987 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:07,960 remix? Yeah, I want it to. 988 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:12,000 Must be. There must be, there must be. 989 00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,600 Cher was apparently mad it didn't get an Oscars nom, and 990 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,040 Steve Anton wanted to cut that number. 991 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,320 He said he didn't think it fit with the movie, and it seemed in 992 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,200 Congress it was 80s power ballad and it just didn't feel right. 993 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,800 And apparently Cher said if you cut that number, I won't do any 994 00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,800 press. And who won? 995 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,600 It won a Golden Globe, the only, not the only award this movie 996 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,880 won. I mean, she does need it in the 997 00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:36,880 show because otherwise this is one of the problems I have with 998 00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,080 the film. Like, she does sort of more and 999 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,840 more just sort of get pushed to the back of the movie, doesn't 1000 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:42,800 she? Yeah. 1001 00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,440 And it's like you'll share. At the end of the day, that must 1002 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,520 be really fucking difficult. It is like meant to be a vehicle 1003 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,240 for you as much as it is meant to be a vehicle. 1004 00:47:50,240 --> 00:47:54,840 For and also this movie requires the levels of like a ballad 1005 00:47:55,240 --> 00:47:59,960 because it doesn't really make sense to put it into the show, 1006 00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,360 even though Christina does do a ballad as well. 1007 00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:06,440 But like all of the show numbers are quite samey, like, and after 1008 00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,200 a certain point you're like, OK, how many times can I hear a horn 1009 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:15,200 and like watch someone do a? Dinner does D Madonna in show me 1010 00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:18,400 they was express yourself yeah, but less because she's like 1011 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:26,520 girls it's like very like. ESPESS Burlesque. 1012 00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:30,680 Can I quickly just jump back as well? 1013 00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:32,520 What do you think of Marcus? Do you think he's hot? 1014 00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:33,880 I kind of found him quite hot, yeah. 1015 00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:34,720 Of course he's. Hot. 1016 00:48:34,720 --> 00:48:35,800 He's like rich. Yeah. 1017 00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,840 I just didn't know if it was just me being kooky or. 1018 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:43,240 No, that's that's a man who, like the aesthetic gods, rained 1019 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,520 their gifts on. The fucking shoes though that he 1020 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:52,160 buys her. They are the most rancid fucking 1021 00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,800 Louboutins I have ever seen in my life. 1022 00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:58,200 Is that someone has glue gunned some lace flowers? 1023 00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:02,560 Lace flowers, pearls, some like some of those big Swarovski 1024 00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,760 gems. They're they're so high, like 1025 00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:09,400 the platform stack. They are disgusting. 1026 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,960 Yeah, she had her eyes on them. Yeah, at the party. 1027 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,520 And then lo and behold. They turn up OK. 1028 00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,680 We're approaching the finale of the movie. 1029 00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:21,080 We're about to enter the longest 24 hours in movie history. 1030 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:22,960 I don't know if you clocked this, but the rest of the movie 1031 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,240 now takes place in one day. Oh, does it? 1032 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,640 Yeah, I'm not. So they go to George's wedding. 1033 00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:29,040 What about have you had the fight? 1034 00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:30,920 Have we done the fight with Tessa? 1035 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:32,200 Oh, no, I was going to skip over that. 1036 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:33,360 Yeah, let's talk. Let's cover the fight. 1037 00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,480 Yeah, because. Again, this is like, Cher's 1038 00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,920 trying desperately to get some drama and actual scenes into 1039 00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,200 this, isn't she? So this is where we find out 1040 00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:46,800 that Kristen's been drinking again, She's going to quit the 1041 00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,360 club, she's going to drive off. But we're getting the maternal 1042 00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,640 side from Tess being like, don't drive, don't drive. 1043 00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:55,880 And then it's essentially like, I will not be upstaged with some 1044 00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,280 slut with mutant lungs. I'm getting out of here. 1045 00:49:58,720 --> 00:49:59,920 Tests like don't drive, don't drive. 1046 00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:02,400 And then it's like, oh, just so you know something, I slept with 1047 00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:03,880 Vincent the night of your wedding. 1048 00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,080 Yeah. And then Cher crowbars the 1049 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,200 window. It's so good tire. 1050 00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:11,920 I think it's a tire iron. Oh, OK, yeah, fabulous. 1051 00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,600 Oh, look, you're not just technical with the makeup. 1052 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:19,600 Also car car equipment. Yeah, she just, Kristen's just 1053 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,640 driving past and like, without even missing a beat, Cher pops 1054 00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,160 the hood of her car, pulls out the thing and smashes the window 1055 00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,920 like in one's fluid motion. She knows exactly where that 1056 00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,200 tire iron is. She's like, I, I've got time. 1057 00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:37,080 I have fantasized about doing that to cars with my bike so 1058 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:41,040 many times, like bashing a side mirror with my handlebars. 1059 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,840 Because when someone's a cunt to you on a bike, you're like. 1060 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,480 I want to get them. That weapon, though, is a good 1061 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,440 one because it's just, it's you. You know that like even if 1062 00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:51,800 you're not that strong, that's going to do a decent bit of 1063 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:52,400 damage. Don't. 1064 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,960 You and she also has the line if you want to pour tequila on your 1065 00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:57,360 Cheerios. It's a great line. 1066 00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:58,800 Yeah. Oh. 1067 00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,120 But again, really, Cher's fighting the good fight here 1068 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:05,160 because ultimately we don't care about this and we care more 1069 00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,800 about airplanes. Airplanes. 1070 00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:14,680 Yeah. The other thing, just watching 1071 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:18,160 Cher, you're just like, if you told me that was Chad Michaels 1072 00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,960 doing a Cher impression the entire movie, I would kind of 1073 00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,920 believe it. Like she's gone into parody of 1074 00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,760 Cher territory. And it's like, it's so much. 1075 00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,080 It's so fun. She's like one beat away from 1076 00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,240 going home. She does it, does she? 1077 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,160 Yeah. And like she you watch her like 1078 00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:35,720 do her little lick clip. Oh yeah, she does the lick, 1079 00:51:35,720 --> 00:51:37,800 Yeah. The way her voice sounds, yeah, 1080 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:41,520 it's like she's internalized the parodies and it's it's 1081 00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,640 wonderful. It seems like she's having fun 1082 00:51:44,240 --> 00:51:47,520 even though she's probably in her head like this fucking pony 1083 00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:48,680 movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1084 00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,600 Piece of shit, can't believe I agreed to do this. 1085 00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,600 Because I kind of like every single scene of drama that she 1086 00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:58,280 has, like, you know, someone calls her out on something and 1087 00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,360 she's just kind of like, there's a there's a scene and it feels 1088 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,320 very Sherry. And I kind of in my hopes, I 1089 00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:04,880 hope that she sort of made-up this dialogue. 1090 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:08,920 There's a bit where it's like Cher calls out Christina for 1091 00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,400 dating Marcus. And yeah. 1092 00:52:11,720 --> 00:52:14,440 And then Cher's like, don't go with him. 1093 00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:17,600 He's he's a bad guy. And then Christina's like, is 1094 00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,640 that because this information is more beneficial for me or for 1095 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:22,320 you? And then Cher's just kind of 1096 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,560 like Fairpoint. I can't answer you. 1097 00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:26,040 And I feel like it's such a small bit. 1098 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,080 I feel like in most films it would just be like a more black 1099 00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:30,600 and white answer, but it's just a bit more nuance. 1100 00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:35,120 Was sharing this movie. Yeah, I would far more willing 1101 00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:38,520 to give her the credit that like whenever something was good, it 1102 00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,520 was Cher's doing because I don't think it was Steve Antons. 1103 00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,800 No, no, no, no, no, no. OK, yeah, so now we're in the 1104 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,720 longest 24 hours of movie history. 1105 00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,200 So we start at Georgia's wedding. 1106 00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:51,200 Also why are we focusing on Georgia? 1107 00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,240 Like because Ali keeps on referencing her in the movie 1108 00:52:54,240 --> 00:52:55,760 like she's her friend or something. 1109 00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,400 It doesn't matter. No one cares. 1110 00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,520 But Jack breaks up with his fiance at the wedding and gets 1111 00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:02,520 drunk and he and Ali sleep together. 1112 00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,040 Then we have it cut with Christina doing a ballad at the 1113 00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,120 club. Now, I don't know when that took 1114 00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:12,120 place, but this is not happening contemporaneously with them 1115 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,520 fucking. And also, you do think, because 1116 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,120 they've been teasing all this time that Jack's a songwriter 1117 00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:18,920 and you're like, oh, this is very crossroads. 1118 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:20,720 I'm not. And you think, oh, this is the 1119 00:53:20,720 --> 00:53:21,680 song. This is the song. 1120 00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:23,800 Because it's this big old Sia song, isn't it? 1121 00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:30,240 It's like I am Brown to you. But no looking gorgeous in that 1122 00:53:30,240 --> 00:53:33,920 green. Honey, the wig is wigging there. 1123 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,280 Yeah, she's giving Vivian Westwood. 1124 00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,840 Yeah, it's, it's fab. Yeah, one of my favorite looks 1125 00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,960 in the movie. Then it's the next morning, his 1126 00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,760 fiance comes home and catches them in bed. 1127 00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,240 So Ali leaves and goes to Stanley Tucci's house and sees 1128 00:53:48,240 --> 00:53:52,360 him in bed with the wedding DJ. She has no problem just going 1129 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,160 into his bedroom even though he's sleeping naked from a 1130 00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:56,240 hookup. But anyway. 1131 00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,440 Well, she also doesn't seem at this point particularly 1132 00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,040 emotional with what's happened with Jack, considering that was 1133 00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,040 meant to be a big like, upsetting things. 1134 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,200 And then she gets a call from Marcus and it's like, Oh well, 1135 00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,120 Jack, I'll just go to Marcus. So still be. 1136 00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,920 Fair is what I would do if I was in that situation. 1137 00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:14,680 I'd be like, screw that little fucking black tea boy. 1138 00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:20,720 The eyeliner. In a real man who owns condos 1139 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,360 so. To be fair, in all that Marcus's 1140 00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:27,760 credit, he does give her a good time. 1141 00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:31,720 Yeah, like other than like he wants to destroy the ESP, but 1142 00:54:31,720 --> 00:54:36,080 also he actually says it. He's going to give share a load 1143 00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:38,560 of money. He wants to pay her $1,000,000 1144 00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:40,280 anyway. Capitalism. 1145 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,200 Yeah. So then she goes to Marcus's 1146 00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,240 house. She realizes his plan to tear 1147 00:54:44,240 --> 00:54:46,440 down the club. So then she goes to see Ted. 1148 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:47,560 So. She leaves very quickly. 1149 00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:50,600 Yeah, well, she's at this point. She's been at today, she's been 1150 00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:53,080 at Jack's house, Stanley Tucci's house, Marcus's house, she's 1151 00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,080 gone to the club and now they're going to go to the condo 1152 00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:59,320 developer over the roads office. This is all still the same day. 1153 00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:02,040 They are really like people in the writers room are like, we 1154 00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,600 need to end this, end this. Movie. 1155 00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,120 So you're right, so much is happening now. 1156 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:12,440 So she goes over the road to see the condo developer who has the 1157 00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:17,080 building across the road from the club and they convince him 1158 00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:18,680 to buy the air rights above the club. 1159 00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,000 This man is Barbra Streisand's ex-husband. 1160 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,240 Oh. Sure. 1161 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,000 And also Josh Brolin's dad. It's James Brolin. 1162 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,360 Then she goes back to the club and Jack and Christina 1163 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,560 reconcile. He says he's left his fiance, 1164 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,640 and then that day ends. Is there anything we need to 1165 00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,840 cover in any of that nonsense? I mean. 1166 00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:42,400 You're right, There's a whole lot of lot of nonsense just 1167 00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,480 happening there. Just going through my notes. 1168 00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,760 I mean, no, not really. Stanley Tucci's one night stand. 1169 00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:49,160 Do we care? We kind of talked about it. 1170 00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,960 Yeah, it kind of is possible. Yeah, it's fine. 1171 00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:53,960 Yeah. I kind of to be fair, they could 1172 00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:57,200 have played that in a lot kind of more generic gay way. 1173 00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:01,480 And I actually think that's kind of how a lot of gay hookups hack 1174 00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:03,560 happen in the sense of like, they don't remember each other's 1175 00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:05,240 names. They're kind of a bit cool with 1176 00:56:05,240 --> 00:56:05,800 each other. Yeah. 1177 00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:09,200 It's not like. It it was a little, it was a 1178 00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:12,800 little annoying, but it wasn't as bad as that could have gone. 1179 00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:17,240 Wake up call, gays are annoying. Yeah, fair. 1180 00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,160 But I did, I did find it kind of annoying that they're like, the 1181 00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:22,480 implication is that Stanley Tuchi's character has been a gay 1182 00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,520 slut and like, they need to settle him down before the end 1183 00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:28,880 of the movie. You know, would have been nicer 1184 00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:31,320 if he'd been like, I don't know, does he need to settle down? 1185 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,400 Can he just have the like, slutty one night stand and 1186 00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:35,520 they'd, like fuck and then they never see each other again? 1187 00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:36,640 Whatever, Who cares? But. 1188 00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:38,360 Then you'd be complaining if that was, yeah. 1189 00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:40,720 Exactly. Because you're fickle. 1190 00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:42,840 I am. But yeah, there's a whole lot of 1191 00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:44,960 bullshit happening now in the movie. 1192 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:48,360 Isn't that they're just like going at it hammer and Tong. 1193 00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:53,600 I mean, I don't believe that Ali is qualified to explain airspace 1194 00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:59,480 from her air rights, s s air rights from her seconds long 1195 00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:01,360 conversation with Marcus about it. 1196 00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:04,440 And then I then also don't believe, having found out how 1197 00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:09,440 bad a businesswoman Tess is, that she is then also capable of 1198 00:57:09,720 --> 00:57:13,200 going to someone and striking a huge, huge. 1199 00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:18,480 Deal within like minutes because they've got this point, 24 hours 1200 00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:21,200 to save the club. Also, if I was Tess in this 1201 00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:23,800 situation, I'd be like, shut the fuck up X Dina, because it's the 1202 00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:26,480 way she chips in and, you know, she's doing her comedy bit now, 1203 00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,080 isn't she? You should really listen. 1204 00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:31,160 Yeah, if I were you. Listen, it's just I'll shut up. 1205 00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:34,920 We know you've done comedy because we saw you prat fall 1206 00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:38,240 earlier in the movie. X Tina, you ticked your. 1207 00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:40,960 When did she prat fall? She falls over when she's, you 1208 00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,920 know, she goes to Jack's apartment for the first time and 1209 00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:48,120 she's like, oh, oh, oh, kooky. She falls on the floor because, 1210 00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:51,960 you know, she's a kooky girl. So we've already got that You 1211 00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,840 you're ticking all the boxes. And then we've got the final 1212 00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:56,840 scene. So Jack has been working on a 1213 00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:58,960 song the whole movie that he's not ready to show. 1214 00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:07,120 And this is this is proof all along, Ali was right. 1215 00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:11,520 Jack is gay. And there's a fact that he's gay 1216 00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:15,080 because the song that he's, you know, this masterpiece that he's 1217 00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,600 been working towards is drum roll. 1218 00:58:18,080 --> 00:58:23,040 Show me how you burlesque underneath the city lights. 1219 00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:27,760 Yeah, which includes a gorgeous lyrics such as Get Your Ass Up. 1220 00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:32,040 Show me how you burlesque. Gay gay. 1221 00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:37,240 God, I'm so glad he found the confidence to release his music. 1222 00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,000 I'm also just like with the stage production of this last 1223 00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:44,800 number, I'm like, oh honey, you're going under very soon. 1224 00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,520 You've got a couple more months. If you carry test, Test carries 1225 00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:49,680 on spending like this those letters alone. 1226 00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:53,360 I do love the era where everything had to be spelled out 1227 00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:56,720 in giant letters though. Like you didn't, you didn't know 1228 00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,240 you were watching a pop song unless there was a diva standing 1229 00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:03,280 in front of her own name and in giant letters, Mimi, you know, 1230 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:05,520 Fergie, everyone did it. It was so great. 1231 00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:08,600 And that's that is the film Burlesque? 1232 00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,880 Yeah, I mean it, it does sort of just crumble down to the ending 1233 00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:16,080 at the end, but. I don't think it ever had like 1234 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,440 legs. It never had the potential of 1235 00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:21,920 being a good movie, so it's not like the ending is then 1236 00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:25,080 disappointing. I think the first question I 1237 00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:29,720 want to ask is does this movie feature burlesque? 1238 00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,920 Oh. Would you say this is movie is a 1239 00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:37,080 good representation of the art of burlesque Well. 1240 00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:39,800 I think there was some really good numbers that actually, 1241 00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,480 because the number I wrote, which we haven't spoken about 1242 00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:47,960 yet, is a guy who takes his time, which has that really sort 1243 00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:50,160 of classic arrangement. And it does give me like 1244 00:59:50,160 --> 00:59:54,000 expensive D to Von Tease and Modesty Blaze vibes. 1245 00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,000 And if I feel like that, because do you remember it's where she's 1246 00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:58,320 like doing. Is she in the pearls? 1247 00:59:58,560 --> 00:59:59,680 Oh no. Oh yeah. 1248 00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:01,640 And then it ends with her standing naked. 1249 01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:03,480 And. She's got the feathers. 1250 01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:05,640 Yeah, Yeah. I think this movie got quite a 1251 01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,680 hard time when it came out for not being representative of 1252 01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:10,560 burlesque. I think a lot of burlesque 1253 01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:13,120 people were annoyed by this movie because they were like, 1254 01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:17,240 this isn't how it is, but actually like it does take care 1255 01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:22,880 to I think nod at the art. But unfortunately the plot ends 1256 01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:25,880 up being that it's Christina as a singer. 1257 01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:29,040 And I think those two things don't really meld very well, but 1258 01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,640 the movie does try and like, show little bits around. 1259 01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:35,280 Well, listen, she does her research, Yeah, because you 1260 01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:38,960 know, when Ali arrives in Los Los Angeles and she's got no 1261 01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:43,280 money or she's she suddenly goes and buys lots of very expensive. 1262 01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:47,640 Looking to the library, the burlesque library of LA. 1263 01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,600 Yeah, so she she did do her research there. 1264 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:55,240 There's also you see snippets of a number with Alan Cumming where 1265 01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:58,080 he's got it's kind of like a 2 ladies from cabaret, kind of 1266 01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:01,480 like it's just two ladies from they're just doing 2 ladies from 1267 01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:03,840 cabaret. But that's got like cheeky like 1268 01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:07,680 banana props and like people doing contortion. 1269 01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,360 That feels like it's in a burlesque show for sure. 1270 01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:13,280 There just isn't really enough striptease and like there are a 1271 01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:18,200 lot of numbers in this show that do not feature any tease. 1272 01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:20,960 Well, yeah. I would argue though, we are in 1273 01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:25,080 a world of neo burlesque, pushing the art form forward. 1274 01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:28,200 But then I think neo burlesque and I think like really 1275 01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:33,840 irreverent, surprising gross, like body positivity. 1276 01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:40,960 I think I think, I think comedy. I think really comedy like like 1277 01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:44,360 modern references. But this is what? 1278 01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:47,240 This is what they were doing in LA though, right? 1279 01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,160 I don't see these shows. Pussycat Dolls were. 1280 01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:51,160 Doing, but this is what they were doing with their burlesque 1281 01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:53,000 show before. They I'm not going to, I'm not 1282 01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,600 going to like gatekeep what is or isn't burlesque. 1283 01:01:55,840 --> 01:02:00,920 It is just kind of weird to call a movie burlesque and for there 1284 01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:04,800 to only be 1 striptease number and it's kind of buried in the 1285 01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:06,480 movie. Do you know what I mean? 1286 01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:10,000 And it's like more leaning on the burlesque aesthetic, which 1287 01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:13,800 is like, what if sailor hats and stripy fishnets. 1288 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,840 And because I guess it's like APG movie, they can't show boobs 1289 01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:19,600 and tits. And I don't know, there's just 1290 01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:24,440 like something that's like at odds with like the kind of movie 1291 01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:28,200 this is and the theme the movie is about. 1292 01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:31,760 Yeah, there. Wow, that's very straight. 1293 01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,240 But what about what does it get right and wrong about nightlife 1294 01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:41,040 culture, like nightclub culture? Because I think it's kind of a 1295 01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:44,000 good representation of that. I think the whole thing is it's 1296 01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:46,000 just like, and because they've done it, because they've had to 1297 01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,960 make a commercial film, it's like there's no way any 1298 01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:52,640 production has this much amazing costume or lights or like the 1299 01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:56,680 whole thing is just there's no way anybody could pull that kind 1300 01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,120 of show together. But I don't know. 1301 01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:02,320 I kind of believe it in the sense of like, I believe that 1302 01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:08,840 Cher has been through all forms of showbiz from like small, tiny 1303 01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:12,280 shows to huge, big television, big tours and stuff. 1304 01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,680 So I kind of believe that authenticity with it like the 1305 01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:19,080 kind of like when she's performing, I'm like buying it. 1306 01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,400 Yeah, yeah. And I think like the kind of 1307 01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:24,720 backstage energy kind of works. Like again, that you wouldn't 1308 01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,480 have the giant costume rails, you wouldn't have someone just 1309 01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:29,360 looking after costume on a show like this. 1310 01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:30,840 You wouldn't have a Stanley Tucci. 1311 01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:34,400 But like the the idea of like a jam packed rail and then like 1312 01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:36,720 everyone's scurrying around and like trying to find their 1313 01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,440 costume and like they're being a bit of bicker backstage and like 1314 01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:42,720 some cattiness, but like comedy, like, I don't know, the energy 1315 01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:45,080 backstage kind of felt right. Yeah. 1316 01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:48,080 And also there is the like sort of backstabbing nature of it. 1317 01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:51,000 Like it is it is kind of like people are coming for each 1318 01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:53,160 other's spots and like, I think that's quite. 1319 01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:54,960 Yeah. And also as well the other thing 1320 01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:59,120 I will argue is it can feel like it's an all-encompassing world. 1321 01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:00,920 That's important. Yes. 1322 01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:04,040 And like nothing outside of that world matters. 1323 01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:07,720 And I think a lot of performers get in that space very easily. 1324 01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:09,720 Yeah. I mean the stuff I guess that 1325 01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:19,560 doesn't reflect nightlife is the script, the the plot, the actual 1326 01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:21,680 basis of the film. Yeah. 1327 01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:25,800 And so that's just like a tried and tested, like it's such a 1328 01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:30,000 well trodden path of the yeah, the girl with the big city 1329 01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:31,800 dreams, the small town girl with the big city dreams. 1330 01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,960 And it's like, OK, but that doesn't happen. 1331 01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:36,400 I don't know. It almost would have been more 1332 01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:39,600 interesting to watch, like a bunch of LA sluts try and put a 1333 01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:42,320 burlesque show on and like, do The Pussycat Dolls and like, try 1334 01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:44,320 and convince people that this was going to be a thing. 1335 01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:47,640 And like, watch them kind of attract the audience like that 1336 01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:53,320 kind of a magic mic style thing because we've seen this plot. 1337 01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,640 So. Many times, like by the time 1338 01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:59,120 you've met every character, you know exactly what's going to 1339 01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:00,440 happen. Every character. 1340 01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:03,160 Also, if so, like, you know, why? 1341 01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:05,920 For fuck's sake, is Nikki just, you know, you know, happy to be 1342 01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:08,840 welcomed back into the the fold now? 1343 01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:10,520 She's not headliner. She's like, second. 1344 01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:13,960 That's not that wouldn't you, you would not be a headliner and 1345 01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:16,920 just be like, oh, OK, I'll just be a little bitch to Ally now. 1346 01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:19,520 Stepped in with no experience. So that's that's like, yeah, 1347 01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:20,960 yeah. It's just like from the get go, 1348 01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:23,200 you know what you're watching. It's so predictable. 1349 01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:26,440 It's kind of funny to see where it lands, but there's not any. 1350 01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:29,840 I mean, the stakes are high, but they're also not starting high. 1351 01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,960 At all. But it that said, like for what 1352 01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:36,000 it is, it's fun. Like it's really I. 1353 01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:39,400 Also think although her character is like all over the 1354 01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:43,040 shop, I don't think Christina's bad as the leading part. 1355 01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:46,400 And I'm really surprised that she hasn't at least tried to do 1356 01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:49,000 one other movie. I mean, it kind of makes sense 1357 01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,600 that Britney didn't because it just feels like Britney did 1358 01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:55,000 other stuff and then, you know, showbiz kind of took her in the 1359 01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:56,960 wrong path. And like, it kind of makes sense 1360 01:05:56,960 --> 01:05:58,880 that Britney hasn't stepped back into it. 1361 01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:02,280 But considering that Christina doesn't really do music the way 1362 01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:06,480 she used to now, I'm really surprised that she didn't just 1363 01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:08,080 try like a thriller or something. 1364 01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:11,160 A thriller or like I would have loved to see her like actually 1365 01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:15,160 do you know a no makeup look like. 1366 01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:18,480 Like, like, but we know that's like the Oscar winning moment. 1367 01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:19,160 Yeah. Exactly. 1368 01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:22,440 Do a Mariah Precious. Like, I think she actually 1369 01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:24,720 probably could kind of do it. Yeah. 1370 01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,080 Because I, I agree with you, she's not bad. 1371 01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:29,240 Like there are a few times in this movie where I'm like, oh, I 1372 01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:32,360 can really see you acting. But for the most part, because I 1373 01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:35,160 think she does a very good job and I had my expectations were 1374 01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:37,640 low. Yeah, of course, but also she 1375 01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:40,760 kind of holds her own with share as well, understanding who are 1376 01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:42,880 both like really accomplished comedy actors. 1377 01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,360 I mean, we're not. This is not a serious drama at 1378 01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:47,400 all. But they can hold their own. 1379 01:06:47,400 --> 01:06:49,600 Yeah, I just think she hot does a good job of holding all right, 1380 01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:53,000 but ultimately it's just a steaming pile of trash. 1381 01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:59,480 Yeah, it's just it's a movie made by idiots for idiots, I 1382 01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:01,800 feel. Well, also as well, I read that 1383 01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:06,320 Steve Anton said to Cher, I don't care what you say in this 1384 01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:10,080 movie, I just want to get on and shoot the next dance sequence, 1385 01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:15,080 which I think. Which probably LED Cher to say 1386 01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:18,320 this in burlesque, which was horrible. 1387 01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:20,560 I had no love interest. I was running this troupe and 1388 01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:22,360 that's who I was. It could have been a much better 1389 01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:23,560 film. It was always sad. 1390 01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:25,480 I was always sad that it was not a good film. 1391 01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:28,680 The direct, terrible director, really terrible director and 1392 01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:30,920 really terrible script. He wrote the script also. 1393 01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:33,360 I remember him saying to me, I don't care about what you say, I 1394 01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:34,640 just want to shoot the dance numbers. 1395 01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:37,080 Had it been shorter, it would have squeaked by and been a good 1396 01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,560 popcorn movie. I mean, yeah, says it all 1397 01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:41,600 really, doesn't it, I? Actually think it could have cut 1398 01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:44,240 probably 2 to 3 numbers. Yeah. 1399 01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:47,160 And bit like the fact that this movie is nearly two hours long 1400 01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:50,440 is pretty unforgivable. Yeah, there's too many numbers, 1401 01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,120 too many numbers about burlesque. 1402 01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:54,880 That aren't really burlesque numbers and like. 1403 01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:57,960 And also and then to have this big emotional song where she's 1404 01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:00,920 saying she's bound to her new love and then the way that that 1405 01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:02,760 just falls apart. She's like, screw you, I'm just 1406 01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,080 going to jump someone else. That song feels like it's all 1407 01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:08,080 about like I'm taking a risk. I'm jumping over the edge. 1408 01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:11,440 I'm and it's like, it's not like you've met met someone from a 1409 01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:14,280 rival burlesque show. And it's like, I don't know. 1410 01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:16,160 Yeah, it's so right. I mean, I guess that's what 1411 01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,800 happens when you get 2 Divas in a movie that are both like, no 1412 01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:22,240 I'm getting my ballads. Oh, yeah, It's very, you know. 1413 01:08:22,319 --> 01:08:23,640 Yeah. Who have you got? 1414 01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:26,120 I've got Sia. Yeah, well, I've got Diane 1415 01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:28,080 Warren, which let's fight it out. 1416 01:08:28,359 --> 01:08:30,240 Love it. They don't duet, which is 1417 01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,160 interesting. That would have been good. 1418 01:08:32,359 --> 01:08:36,120 Yeah, I wonder why there's no extena and shared duet 1419 01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:39,680 performance. I think they had a tough time 1420 01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:41,920 with scheduling. I think Cher was not available 1421 01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:44,319 for very long. But yeah, I wonder why you. 1422 01:08:44,319 --> 01:08:48,160 Kind of think that would be like a we that what we just need to 1423 01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:50,040 make that work. They have to be on stage 1424 01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:51,800 together, especially at the end or something. 1425 01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:55,040 Yeah, or like. Imagine sharing there. 1426 01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:59,960 Show you how to bless. But you can imagine like a 1427 01:08:59,960 --> 01:09:05,279 mentor, like a gypsy sort of style number where it's like 1428 01:09:05,279 --> 01:09:08,120 mentor mentee learning the ropes. 1429 01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,640 You could do it on stage for comedy effect, but it's also 1430 01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:12,359 mirroring what's happening in the movie. 1431 01:09:12,359 --> 01:09:13,760 Yeah. Totally. 1432 01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:16,160 I mean, that's a huge wasted opportunity. 1433 01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:20,000 Yeah. I mean for me this movie is a 1434 01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:23,120 glossy long form pop video. Yeah. 1435 01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:27,640 It's unfortunate though that I think it's aesthetically not the 1436 01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:32,600 kind of pop video I really love. Like I don't like The Pussycat 1437 01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:33,479 Dolls. See. 1438 01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:36,200 Not. Not really, Boo not. 1439 01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:40,560 Really so the aesthetically, I think I don't really resonate 1440 01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:44,000 with it that much. And therefore I'm I'm a bit 1441 01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:47,080 like, yes, this is a long form pop video and like I wish it 1442 01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:49,760 were a different. So trashy. 1443 01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:52,279 I think I'm, I think I'm there, right? 1444 01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:55,000 I've like, I've, I've watched so many of the way it's staged and 1445 01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,360 I'm like, yeah, like, oh, I love this. 1446 01:09:57,680 --> 01:09:59,760 I've got another like critique. Go on. 1447 01:09:59,880 --> 01:10:03,200 The other thing I think that is really important about burlesque 1448 01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:06,280 is that it's like about female empowerment and sexual 1449 01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:08,120 liberation. It's about like taking your 1450 01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:12,560 power, taking your sexuality and doing it on your terms in a 1451 01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:16,320 controlled space that is safe. That is like powerful. 1452 01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:19,520 And this movie doesn't go into any of those politics. 1453 01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:22,880 It's like it kind of, if anything, shame strippers at the 1454 01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:24,840 beginning of the movies. Like this isn't strippers. 1455 01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:27,000 This is something different. And then from then on, it 1456 01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:29,600 doesn't deal with any of that idea. 1457 01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:32,760 And I would have loved to have seen, I don't know, say 1458 01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:35,920 Christina is meek and shy and she doesn't understand that, 1459 01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:39,360 like, sexuality is something that she can use as a powerful 1460 01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:41,680 tool in her arsenal. And she sees that and that's 1461 01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:45,000 what she's resonating with. And that is then then I'm like, 1462 01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:46,800 oh, this is a movie about burlesque. 1463 01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:48,640 Oh, it's not. It's not a movie about burlesque 1464 01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:51,520 at all. And so that kind of element of 1465 01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:54,720 it is really missing for me because it's just like watch, 1466 01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:57,440 it's just watching hot dancers be hot dancers. 1467 01:10:57,440 --> 01:11:01,200 And there's no sense that like there's something subversive 1468 01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:02,400 happening. There's. 1469 01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:08,680 No, I agree with you. It's just right now it's giving 1470 01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:11,240 me like, where's your Protect Queer arts? 1471 01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:12,440 Right. It's very that. 1472 01:11:12,440 --> 01:11:15,360 It's very that you're. So right, I'm not disagreeing, 1473 01:11:15,360 --> 01:11:17,560 but it's also yeah, protect queer arts. 1474 01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:22,200 It's so true. It's so true, yeah, but. 1475 01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:25,200 You're so right. I I 100% agree with you. 1476 01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:29,920 So, and that's why I'm like, oh, this is really a movie made by a 1477 01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:33,960 fucking LA gay who just likes looking at hot girls. 1478 01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:35,880 And there are hot girls who wanted to do it. 1479 01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:39,160 And everyone's just like, should we just be hot people in LA and 1480 01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:43,280 make a hot movie? And it's like, yes, but like, 1481 01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:47,480 don't call it burlesque you fucks. 1482 01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:50,840 Well, well, you told them, Crystal. 1483 01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:52,880 The other thing I wanted to think. 1484 01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:57,600 About about the history of. I was just thinking about Alan 1485 01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:01,680 coming in this, who is obviously like one of the most iconic MCS 1486 01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:04,480 done Cabaret. And then I was comparing and 1487 01:12:04,480 --> 01:12:07,800 contrasting this movie with Cabaret, which I know we have 1488 01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:11,960 not covered on this podcast, but that is a movie that is like 1489 01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:14,480 ostensibly kind of about the same sort of thing. 1490 01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:18,880 And it's like, so good. Is it about the same thing? 1491 01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:22,080 Well, it, it uses the same vehicle. 1492 01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:25,880 It's like, what if we told a story around a nightclub and the 1493 01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:29,360 performers in this nightclub and like the, the degradation of 1494 01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:30,920 that. And like there's a new person 1495 01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:33,680 who comes to town and they're experiencing this whole new 1496 01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:35,760 world. And one of them manages to be a 1497 01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:41,000 really fucking hard hitting piece about like, Nazi Germany 1498 01:12:41,280 --> 01:12:44,920 and like, queer rights and nightclub culture and like, 1499 01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:51,000 decadence and like, it's so powerful and this movie. 1500 01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:53,360 I don't think they are about the same thing. 1501 01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:57,520 I just, I think they're both musical set in a, in a cabaret, 1502 01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:01,240 yeah, space. And I'm just like, it's amazing 1503 01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:03,760 how much you can do with that. Yeah. 1504 01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:07,720 And and 100 years ago or something like when did cabaret? 1505 01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:10,640 When was? I don't know when it was. 60s. 1506 01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:14,400 Yeah, maybe. 70s, I don't know when the musical came out, no. 1507 01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:21,960 So it's like say 70 years ago and then versus this movie, 1508 01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:28,400 which is almost like someone saw Cabaret miss the entire point 1509 01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:32,160 and then was like, let me, let me have a go. 1510 01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:35,840 And it just makes, it just kind of makes me laugh. 1511 01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:38,880 No, of course I I just think I, I, it's. 1512 01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:41,480 Wrong to compare them. Yeah, basically I'm just like, 1513 01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:45,040 obviously cabaret is about like, yeah, like a framework about 1514 01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:49,360 showcasing society and turning that on its head through art, 1515 01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:50,840 which is yeah, yeah. But I. 1516 01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:53,120 Thought how dare they put Alan Cumming in there and do a 1517 01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:56,560 cabaret reference. How dare Alan Cumming accept the 1518 01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:57,840 check. Funny. 1519 01:13:57,840 --> 01:13:59,720 Yeah, fair. If he cares that much about the 1520 01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:03,080 art form that he's been part of, he just got the check. 1521 01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:06,160 And I'm not saying every every movie needs to be that. 1522 01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:08,600 That is what you're saying. You're saying every movie needs 1523 01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:10,480 to be said. It's a star vehicle. 1524 01:14:10,480 --> 01:14:12,200 It is. It was never going to be. 1525 01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:14,240 It could have been a little bit better. 1526 01:14:14,240 --> 01:14:16,880 But Cadbury was a star vehicle for Liza Minnelli. 1527 01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:20,240 It was just also people cared to make a good movie about a good. 1528 01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:24,400 But also, it's like the people that created that musical, like 1529 01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:26,880 we're just way more credible people anyway. 1530 01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:29,160 But I don't think it was. And that's why I say this movie 1531 01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:34,320 was made by idiots for idiots. Well, I'm an idiot, yeah. 1532 01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:38,720 I mean, I watched it, I turned my brain off and I had a lovely 1533 01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:40,720 time looking at Sharon Christina Aguilera. 1534 01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:47,360 I've got no complaints. I think there's a deeper concept 1535 01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:51,320 at the heart of this, and I think it is a critique on air 1536 01:14:51,480 --> 01:14:54,760 rights. You know what we don't talk 1537 01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:55,640 about? Air rights. 1538 01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:58,080 Not enough. Not at all, no. 1539 01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:02,560 And if anything, this film and this podcast has highlighted air 1540 01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:06,640 rights and the fact we should be more aware of them because 1541 01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:11,800 listeners listen up right now. There's a lot of air who has the 1542 01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:14,640 rights to it, though. I'm going to leave you with 1543 01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:16,960 that. And I'm going to leave you with 1544 01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,920 this, which was was what prompted me to write down by 1545 01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:23,600 Idiots for Idiots. This is the costume designer 1546 01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:25,800 again, and he's talking about Julianne Hoff. 1547 01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:29,680 Oh yeah, yeah. Julianne was fun because she has 1548 01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:33,560 red hair. She's so different. 1549 01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:36,000 She's not blonde. That's in the making of. 1550 01:15:36,400 --> 01:15:38,760 OK, OK. That's where we're at. 1551 01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:41,640 That's but you know what, We managed to talk about it but for 1552 01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:43,360 about this for about an hour and a half. 1553 01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:48,440 So you know, really who won? Not us. 1554 01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:51,680 I think it's time to rate this movie. 1555 01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:53,720 Rate this motherfucker. Yeah, yeah. 1556 01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:57,640 So we need to give it our score on our patented camper meter. 1557 01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:02,520 One to 10 Merrills for the quality and once 10 lies As for 1558 01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:04,800 the camp factor. Yeah, yeah. 1559 01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:07,920 OK, we're not going to agree here, but let's go. 1560 01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:10,480 OK, Merrills, I'm going to give it 5. 1561 01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:12,560 Oh yeah, that's what I was going to go. 1562 01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:15,160 Yeah. 5 Merrills, OH. OK, I thought you were. 1563 01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:19,640 I think for what it is, yeah, I think it's a piece of shit, but 1564 01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:22,840 I think it is a really good, fun piece of shit. 1565 01:16:23,480 --> 01:16:26,520 Yeah, because I think the cinematography is really 1566 01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:28,680 gorgeous. I think that it's quite lux. 1567 01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:30,360 I like the set designs and stuff. 1568 01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:32,560 Yeah. And it's got like 2 great 1569 01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:35,520 performers in it doing great performances. 1570 01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:37,920 OK, Yeah, I. Just thought it's just, it's 1571 01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:40,480 just like you can just tell this was the first time director who 1572 01:16:40,480 --> 01:16:41,960 had never written a movie before. 1573 01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:45,720 And that does hold it back in in certain ways. 1574 01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:48,920 And what I've learned from doing this podcast is there's a lot of 1575 01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:51,680 people that gave them get given very big opportunities in their 1576 01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:54,240 first films, and maybe they shouldn't be allowed to do it. 1577 01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:57,080 That's because their boyfriend owns a fucking production. 1578 01:16:57,080 --> 01:16:58,800 Company. Fair play, fair play to you. 1579 01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:02,360 Did you hear that they, they were having screaming rows, 1580 01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:04,280 these two? No, they've been together for 1581 01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:07,240 like 20 years at this point and they were just like screaming at 1582 01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:10,440 each other on set and like Cher, apparently at one point I had to 1583 01:17:10,440 --> 01:17:14,240 be like, I need a calmer set because Steve and his boyfriend 1584 01:17:14,240 --> 01:17:16,240 were just like boom boom boom. Oh my. 1585 01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:20,680 Not that kind. OK, Eliza's. 1586 01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:23,040 How many Lizas are we giving this movie? 1587 01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:25,280 Oh, I'm giving it nine. Wow. 1588 01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:28,400 Just because it's, it's so stupid. 1589 01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:30,280 It is so stupid. It's stupid camp. 1590 01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:33,520 It's like it's, it's as you said, it's kind of like, it is 1591 01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:37,080 awful and it should get lots of deductions, but there's just 1592 01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,880 enough wiggery. I I love how inconsistent 1593 01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:43,120 Christina's character is. She's a real gaslighting mean 1594 01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:46,000 cow who's meant to be like the Anjani that we support. 1595 01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:51,080 Yeah, yeah, you. It's so it's so often jumps 1596 01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:54,680 between camp full like joyous camp where you're like, I'm 1597 01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:56,960 watching a great production number and I love looking at it 1598 01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:00,080 to like this movie is a piece of shit and I'm loving watching. 1599 01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:03,480 It but like even like the ending, it's just we're going 1600 01:18:03,480 --> 01:18:05,840 through the motions.
