Hello and welcome to Big Gay Energy.
I'm Caitlin. And I'm Fiora.
Come along with us while we dive into the fun and nuances of
queer media. Representation matters.
And we're here to talk about it. Cheers queers, today on the big
A Agenda we have a very special, yet unplanned episode.
So very recently Caitlin and I were sent a pilot trailer of
Frame Becky's new movie that's coming out this year called
Uranus 2324. And so without knowing anything,
we jumped into this and just watched it and we put our
reaction on YouTube of us watching this for the very first
time in all of our glorious confusion.
So if you haven't checked that out, I suggest you go over to
YouTube for you audio only listeners.
I've basically taken our discussion from that reaction
episode and I'm going to put it on here.
So This Is Us going through the trailer after we learned more
things about it and discussing this movie that sounds super
gay. Very fun, and we cannot, cannot,
cannot, cannot wait to watch this.
So without further ado, here's me and Caitlin discussing Uranus
2324. Enjoy all.
Right. You're sitting.
I'm Caitlin. I know.
It just did it itself. OK.
All right. Thoughts.
I know I should have known more because I watched the trailer,
but I still am very confused. It's definitely sci-fi, right,
'cause it's like. Trippy.
Yeah. I mean there there's space.
There's space. Lind is an astronaut slash
photographer. And then?
Did we? Get Becky's character's name in
the trailer. I don't know that we did.
If we did, I missed. It but she's a photo developer.
She's a photo developer. Slash detective.
I think. A very specific detective.
I don't know what happened. So yeah, I think that's the
point. I think it's like parallel
universes is like the vibe I'm getting.
Not like reading anything about it just because of like what
she, you know, what she said, she's like, I I have these
memories, but like, are they memories?
Are they not Like, what's real, what isn't?
And like we keep seeing them like almost living different
lives. And there was this part on the
beach where basically like, you know, Lynn gave the line of
basically like no matter what universe, I hope there's a
universe that exists where we could be together, like and not
be in pain and be separated and stuff like that.
So it gives me parallel universes, and I think that
maybe Becky's character is like trying to probe parallel
universes. Huh.
Like, OK, so like, literally parallel universes where, like,
it's like the same person in a different universe.
Like she's getting memories from someone else.
Right. I wonder cause like it's it.
The trope it's giving me is like, no matter what lifetime
we're in, I'll find you kind of thing, I think.
That's some arrow verse shit there, right?
But it's in like a sci-fi thing. So I don't know like if the
number like 2324, that's like when they find each other,
that's like is that the real time we're in the photo?
Machine. The thing is, the photo machine
right now would probably be that dusty so.
Right. And it was.
Either way, it could be that you're and the the whole towns
are banned, so is like human civilization, like dying out?
I don't know. I don't know if this is an
Apocalypse movie. It doesn't give me that.
No, it doesn't. But like, they're the only two
people we've seen in the trailer, right?
No, there's a third person who is some woman who's basically
like, do you know her? And it was like pointing at
Lynn, who's sitting on a bike. Yeah, I.
Don't know. I don't understand the why.
There's an abandoned town. Maybe they had a whole life in
this town and Lynn used to take photos and no name developed
them. And then the town got abandoned
somehow and she went back. I don't know.
Well, that's why I'm wondering if it's parallel universes,
'cause that looks like it. Like looking at the film like OK
again. Like when was the last time
people used like actual like film film to shoot photos and
get them actually developed? 15 years ago.
Right. And so, like in the memory that
she was having, like Lynn owned the shop, right.
And so like so. I'm wondering if that was a
because it's. Not like the these are
different, they're the same. As ages or.
At. Least it's very.
Fairly close. Right.
But I'm wondering if that was a parallel universe or whatever.
And then so in 2324 or whatever, she's entering the shop and it's
like, but there's photo evidence of us in this fucking shop.
Like what is real, what isn't kind of thing.
Because, like, it would be weird for her to be a photo developer
and then become an work for NASA.
Not impossible, but like, that would be weird.
It gives me like, they're living different lives and they're
trying like, Becky's character's on the she's the detective, the
time detective, who's trying to put all together and be like,
have we just lived all these lives together?
Like, I don't know. Their relationship spans time
and space. Right.
It's that trouble. OK, it takes me that long to get
things all right. There you go.
Yeah.
So I wonder if that it just, it looks really trippy and like,
'cause it's like, I wonder if it's yeah, like, 'cause it's
sci-fi. So I wonder if it's just like
you have to put the pieces together, like what's going?
On That's really cute. That's really so cute he's been.
Diving like, literally. I know.
Like, it's really cute. I'm very excited to see this
movie. All right.
Do you want to pause here and see if you can find anything?
Yes, we'll be OK. I found a synopsis in English.
Do it. So I think the beginning is a
quote. And it says my life is driven by
two types of power. The 1st is the power of dreams
and the 2nd is the power of love.
Dreams give me purpose. Why?
Love gives me the strength to move forward.
Oh, that's kind of cool. Are they dreaming?
Though. Oh God.
Shit. These are some good dreams,
though, I'm not gonna lie. All right, so let me pull this.
That is beautiful. That's what I mean.
This seems like it's gonna be a really beautiful story.
Yeah, so far the writing is interesting.
All right, So Catherine Lynn, two friends who started as
friends before developing into lovers.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I have to pause there. Two quote friends who started as
friends. It's a very interesting way to
write. They forgot to put air quotes
around friends. 2 gal pals who started as friends.
OK, continue. Before developing into lovers,
each had their own dreams. Lynn dreamed of becoming an
astronaut. So was she not actually an
astronaut? No, she was developing photos
when they first met, so. Yeah, I remember you got to see
this more than once. I've only seen you once and I
was reading half the time, even though I wasn't.
I didn't need to. Do you want to watch it again?
We will after this, OK? While Kath aspired to be a free
diving, free diving champion. What?
That's not where I thought that was going.
What are we? Sure that this is the same
synopsis? No, OK, OK.
However, due to a misunderstanding they had to
separate at the age of 18. I'm hoping that this isn't like
a fan made one. Like I'm pretty sure that this
is like what it's about. It looks official, not for
commercial use. I don't know.
We're going. To go with it.
And if we're wrong, we're wrong. We're trying.
OK, so however, due to a misunderstanding, they had to
separate at the age of 18 with no means of contacting each
other. It wasn't until 15 years later
in the United States, OK, make sure makes sense, like NASA and
yeah, the English, that they would finally reunite.
By that time, Kath had given up in her dream of competing and
free diving. OK, cool 'cause we didn't see
that. At all.
Obviously that track, OK. Well, Lynn had successfully
pursued her dream of becoming an astronaut and was about to be
stationed at the International Space Station.
In the short time there's there's stars in the background
like it's space background, so it looked very weird.
It's kind of hard to read. In the short time they had to
spend together, they had to spend together like they were.
Forced, they. Forced.
Oh no, the the short time that they had.
To. Spend together, I think.
That's why it's situation like they had to spend together.
The seeds of their love began to bloom once more in both of their
hearts. There were things that Lynn
wanted to tell Kath, but in the end, she never had the chance to
say them. Oh.
My God, she's a coward too. And that's.
Eventually, they had to part ways once again, with Lynn
thinking that when Kath returned to this world once more.
OK, why? Did you just get emotional?
She would finally confess her love.
This is only two paragraphs in, by the way.
After meeting Lynn again, Kath realized that she had found
love. Is this going to spoil like the
entire movie? I think so.
Realized she that she had found love and the dreams she thought
she had forgotten. OK, so after meeting Lynn again,
Kath realized she had found love and dream.
Oh, 'cause I think Kath's dreams were like shattered because she
wanted to be a diving champion or something, and then had to
give up the dream. And then she got reunited with
Lynn and she's like, oh, you're the dream, whoops.
That's what it sounds like. It brought happiness back into
her life. Lynn's success reignited Kath's
own dream, and she returned to the world of free diving.
For. Sure, aspirations once more.
I don't understand where the free diving is going.
To be just. Because it's not in the trailer
at all. I mean, they were by the ocean.
So like, is she free diving like into the ocean?
Is that what free diving is? At night, yeah, free diving is.
OK, then maybe that's why they were on the beach.
But at night? No, no, they were hanging out at
night. But I I wonder if, like, that's
why they were at the beach, which, OK, that tracks.
OK, I don't know where this sentence comes from.
Before she received the news of Lynn's accident caused by a
small maintenance spacecraft that Lynn was piloting during
her mission, they had lost contact due to a severe storm
during the solar storm. Oh, OK yeah, that's in the
trailer cause like, she was in the shop getting the photos.
When the news came on, it was like we lost contact with the
Eurita's vessel. So, like, that's what happened.
So she's like lost in space, I guess.
Yeah, at that time, everyone had believed that Lynn had perished.
OK, so she's like. Trapped in space?
Yeah. Yeah, in the worlds of free
diving. I'm sorry every time.
I hear this free. Diving thing.
I'm sorry, this is a very like what weird transition.
I'm sorry. I'm happy for Kath but.
Yeah, OK. Back in the world of free
diving, Kath decided to challenge herself with a
statistic that she had never achieved before.
She was determined to break this record not only for her own
glory, but to honor Lynn, the person that she loved, but to
also, but to also. I'm just trying to figure out
the grammar in this, but to also reignite the spark of Lynn's
dream once again, but to also reignite the spark Lynn's dream.
OK. However, during an attempt Calf
lost consciousness underwater 'cause that makes sense due to
kaisin disease, Kaisin CAISSON. Is that a real thing?
I have no idea. Did she get like?
I don't know. We'd have to look.
Look it up. What does it mean?
OK, well, you. Don't we have to Google look it
up? I I expect you to.
I. Thought Concussion.
I thought she was going to get her head hit on a rock or some
shit. Is that like OK?
So it's acute decompression syndrome.
That's what I thought. An.
Acute neurological emergency in divers.
OK, so it's a common diver thing.
Yeah, yeah. It's probably because she went
to. I guess you don't.
See many divers in your work on the aura.
No, they don't have infections. I mean, they do, but I don't see
many. OK, during the five seconds that
she was unconscious, Kath felt like she had been transported to
another dimension, a parallel. Universe.
After regaining consciousness, I we don't see her lose conscious.
That's. Why?
Like we're not. It's not in the trailer, but you
get the like from the language, you get the sense that's why
she's like, what's a memory, what's real, 'cause she probably
gets transported into another dimension, quote, and Lynn's
probably there and she's like, wait, what?
And then she's going through all this stuff and probably finding,
trying to find evidence of like, what really happened.
Maybe that's the sci-fi element, I think.
After regaining consciousness, Kath continued using this method
to explore various parallel universes, OK, hoping to find a
world where she and Lynn could live together without the
disappointments that they had. Faced, yeah.
OK, interesting they. Kind of said that at the beach,
yeah. In every parallel world that
Kath and Lynn encountered, they fell in love with each other,
each time going through different eras and stories.
The word era will never. Be same again.
This is a lover era. However, Kath knew that in the
end they would have to face the pain of parting.
She couldn't change anything. All she could do was cherish
every moment of love that they had together, let love guide
them until the very end, and she had to accept whatever ending
that might be. OK, that's a shitty place to end
it. June 2024 Whoo.
OK, yeah. So we weren't far off.
Like, there definitely is this parallel universe element.
June 20th, 2024, but I'm assuming that's in Thailand.
I assume that as well, so I don't know when we'll be able to
see it. Or if.
Oh. Oh, there's videos of them in
the water. Really.
Yeah, it's definitely free diving.
This is right, they have snorkel and masks.
On. OK.
Yeah. So the that was the right
synapse. It was it.
Was OK, that makes sense. That's why they're on the
beaches. And it's a member area of the
Uranus website. I know we can.
Register for it. Oh.
What? What is this?
I don't know. Oh.
Well, you can spend $599 or $1099.
And what happens? OK, so the free one, you get
updated on the news? I mean, yes on the.
Movie and free and Becky engage and share on the Community
Board. I guess a chance to win gold
tickets via merchandise exclusive Free and Becky Reality
content and buy and pre-order Uranus 2324 exclusives.
And now, if you go to the 599 membership, wait, can you?
Just like, Can you watch the movie, though?
No, I don't think not with the free one.
Hold on, let me see. I mean, oh wait, OK, so this
isn't in dollars. I'm so used to thinking in
dollars. It is not dollars.
Let me see if I can figure out how to convert this thing real
quick, because I was like, that's a lot of money.
OK, it's $16.00 and. 62 cents. Beautiful. 1641, something like
that. All right, so that makes more
sense. I am still learning.
Money. That America is not the only
country. I promise.
I don't think that but. And then the the top tier is
$30.00 for US American money USD.
OK, so let me see. You can bid on freeing and
Becky's items. Oh.
Probably like props I assume. I hope so.
Yeah, I hope four pieces of them, that'd.
Be weird, man. No, don't do that to them.
Leave them alone. Oh, and then if you have the
highest number, you could like win random call events with
Freen and Becky. So it's just like chances to
like. Promote the movie and etcetera.
Yeah, get more. Watch the movie.
No, none of it's watching it. You you get an exclusive voice
box from them. I I feel like that has to be a
mistranslation or? Something like a voicemail,
yeah. Or a voice message, maybe like
a. Yeah, probably that.
Which I feel like it's totally worth $30.
Right. So if you want to do these
things, go put the latest 20. 324.com.
We shall we sign up for the notifications, though?
Yeah, we'll do that. I'll do that real quick.
No. OK, never mind.
Sign up with Google, OK, They might make it really easy for us
right now. OK, I don't know if there's
anything, do we want to look up more about this?
Do you think that posit? I think that's good.
That was a pretty in depth synopsis.
Actually and help. Put the trailer.
I mean, the trailer is pretty long and there's a lot going on
it. I will say beautifully shot.
Yes, it is. It's definitely a good.
I love the tone already. Of this I agree.
I they there is going to be special effects in this which
is, which is awesome and really cool.
And then something else I saw, incidentally is OK.
The space station that they were showing, Caitlin, they actually
built, built it. Oh, really?
It's not just like visual. Exactly.
Yeah. So that's, that's the thing
they've actually built and like, so Freen is actually in this
thing and they think I saw somewhere they're like, this is
the first space station in Thailand or something.
It was very, that was the caption that I saw, which is
super cute. So yeah, that's like a real
thing that they built for the movie, which is really cool.
So I'm excited to see how that all that kind of, like plays out
and then seems like they're color-coded again.
Like, again, it's it's weird to see like, 'cause I'm currently
coming from Gap, so it is weird to see like Becky's character in
like darker tones versus like frames and lighter tones.
But it's very exciting to to see what their like personalities
are gonna, because I didn't really get their personalities
from the trailer. It was more so like the drama of
it all. So, like, I'm excited to see who
the characters. Actually, I kind.
Of wish they would have introduced the free diving thing
a little bit. Because it seems to be.
A big part of the movie. I know, I'm surprised that's not
in the trailer. Actually, there's no not one
instance. It's not even a photo of her,
like in a diving outfit. Yeah, they're like a like
slight. Yeah, truly, that was jarring to
read 'cause. It's just.
Not clear, but I'm excited to see where this goes.
And like, I'm hoping the ending doesn't destroy our hearts and
souls, 'cause it doesn't sound great, but maybe she'll come
back from the space station and all will be well.
Who knows? We do know we get at least two
kisses, so that's exciting. That's more than most American
movies. And we got a happy ending and
gap, so I mean like. I'll take it.
Not always. Be happy a happy.
Ending. So and like, sometimes I do like
it. Not being happy.
I agree. More recently, since like, I
came out and was like, oh, I kind of like happy endings now
where I was. I was such a cynical child.
But I'm also all for things being like, happy, but still
like, you know, bittersweet, I guess.
Bittersweet. Yeah, it's giving me bittersweet
fries, which is totally fine, honestly.
Like, it sounds like it's gonna be a beautiful journey.
And that's what it's all about. It's the journey into.
The stay in space. Beyond the universe, et cetera.
So let us know what you think of this movie.
I'm sure you know more than us, so if you have any other tidbits
or things that we should watch or read like, please put it in
the comments. We will figure out a way to
watch this eventually. If you know how.
We know that. So anyway, that's that.
Anything else to say Caitlin before we sign off?
No, but do we have to go to Thailand to go watch it in June?
Oh my God, you'll be in. Vietnam in the beginning of the
month, so let's. Just that pops.
I know it's. Not like I don't know where it.
I. Americans don't know geography,
but it has to be closer than we are.
So no, it definitely, it definitely is.
Yeah, so. So let's go there.
Let's go there. I'll come meet you in Vietnam
and then we can jump over to Thailand together.
Head on over. It'll be great.
All righty, so until next time, Hydrant for lesbian Jesus.
