00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,800
Hey guys, this is Mel. 
If you're listening to this, you

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:07,560
are about to hear a super 
special sneak peek of our latest

3
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,600
bonus episode. 
But fair warning, this is just a

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,720
sneak peek.

online. 
Hope you enjoy. 

8
00:00:31,430 --> 00:00:33,870
We are your host. 
My name is Mel. 

9
00:00:34,990 --> 00:00:40,110
And I'm Kel and. 
I'm with cousins and best 

10
00:00:40,110 --> 00:00:46,470
friends and this is a Halloween 
episode. 

11
00:00:47,070 --> 00:00:53,790
Halloween. 
This is a spooky, spooky couple.

12
00:00:57,260 --> 00:01:02,940
They they are this this is 
another October episode. 

13
00:01:02,940 --> 00:01:07,260
This couple was actually 
requested to us by our listener 

14
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:11,580
Luna, so just wanted to give a 
shout out there. 

15
00:01:11,620 --> 00:01:14,380
What a great idea and who is 
this couple? 

16
00:01:15,780 --> 00:01:21,540
This couple is Helena Bonham 
Carter and Tim Burton. 

17
00:01:21,780 --> 00:01:26,120
Could you be any more Gothic? 
And creepy. 

18
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,160
Now I'm wondering if they were 
both gothic to start or if one 

19
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:39,600
influenced the others image. 
That's a good question, Mel. 

20
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,160
I think we will get into that I.
Think you'll find out? 

21
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,880
Yeah. 
I think it's funny, we're doing 

22
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,920
another three named person. 
Yeah, again, this week. 

23
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,000
We did Neil Patrick Harris last 
week. 

24
00:01:53,610 --> 00:01:56,890
We're doing HBC Hannah Bonham 
Carter. 

25
00:01:57,930 --> 00:02:02,570
She's never just Helena or 
Helena Carter or, you know, you 

26
00:02:02,810 --> 00:02:05,370
always say the whole thing. 
I always find, though, that her 

27
00:02:05,370 --> 00:02:07,330
name doesn't really roll off the
tongue. 

28
00:02:08,370 --> 00:02:10,210
It yeah. 
It is a bit hard to say. 

29
00:02:11,170 --> 00:02:14,450
It's a bit hard. 
I think she's so cool. 

30
00:02:14,450 --> 00:02:19,170
I I've always admired her. 
I think she has, really. 

31
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:22,900
Funky, unique style. 
And I love her hair. 

32
00:02:23,260 --> 00:02:25,860
Crazy curls on the top of her 
head, actually. 

33
00:02:25,860 --> 00:02:29,460
Both of them have out of control
curly hair, which is something 

34
00:02:29,460 --> 00:02:33,260
they have in common, and they 
both dress pretty disheveled, so

35
00:02:33,260 --> 00:02:35,820
I think that's funny. 
But Tim Burton, I never really 

36
00:02:35,820 --> 00:02:37,260
knew. 
I mean, I didn't know much about

37
00:02:37,260 --> 00:02:41,180
her either, but I really didn't 
know anything about him before 

38
00:02:41,180 --> 00:02:45,300
researching this and I didn't 
even know what he looked like, 

39
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:47,580
really. 
So honestly mean, I learned. 

40
00:02:47,580 --> 00:02:49,750
A lot. 
He's, I mean, he's not older now

41
00:02:49,750 --> 00:02:52,870
than when they first met, 
obviously, But yeah, he's got 

42
00:02:52,870 --> 00:02:57,230
also this wild hair that he just
lets go in any direction. 

43
00:02:58,710 --> 00:02:59,310
Yeah, they. 
Almost. 

44
00:02:59,350 --> 00:03:01,830
He doesn't eat little related in
that way. 

45
00:03:03,550 --> 00:03:09,390
Yeah, you might imagine him to 
be wearing like a monocle with a

46
00:03:09,830 --> 00:03:13,230
Raven on his shoulder or 
something based on his movies, 

47
00:03:13,230 --> 00:03:15,590
but he is actually a pretty 
normal guy. 

48
00:03:15,590 --> 00:03:17,630
But I'm getting hit by myself, I
guess. 

49
00:03:19,620 --> 00:03:21,820
Well, I guess before we get into
it too, I just want to say thank

50
00:03:21,820 --> 00:03:24,820
you to everybody who subscribed 
to the Patreon. 

51
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:28,180
We love you. 
We appreciate you so much. 

52
00:03:28,380 --> 00:03:29,780
Thank you so much for the 
support. 

53
00:03:29,780 --> 00:03:32,900
It really makes a difference and
it really helps us because we do

54
00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:35,980
put a lot of work into the show 
and I do. 

55
00:03:36,020 --> 00:03:39,820
We do get it. 
You know, some people, I think 

56
00:03:39,820 --> 00:03:42,500
sometimes they're a little bit 
disappointed if the episodes are

57
00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:48,140
not free every single episode. 
But it it really makes it, it's 

58
00:03:48,140 --> 00:03:51,580
so much easier because we do 
have fulltime jobs to have a 

59
00:03:51,580 --> 00:03:54,940
little bit of support in order 
to keep going with the podcast. 

60
00:03:54,940 --> 00:03:57,820
So thank you so much. 
Like the Patreon helps us with 

61
00:03:57,820 --> 00:04:00,700
the free episodes too. 
So we really appreciate it. 

62
00:04:01,740 --> 00:04:05,020
It's true. 
And you know, Muna requested 

63
00:04:05,020 --> 00:04:07,420
this episode. 
It's happening. 

64
00:04:07,460 --> 00:04:10,180
It might not, you know, we might
not be able to listen to your 

65
00:04:10,180 --> 00:04:13,380
request right away, but we do 
listen to people and especially 

66
00:04:13,380 --> 00:04:16,140
when we hear like multiple 
suggestions for the same. 

67
00:04:16,610 --> 00:04:19,610
Couple, you know that influences
us for sure. 

68
00:04:19,890 --> 00:04:26,010
So if I had to describe this 
couple in three words, I would 

69
00:04:26,010 --> 00:04:35,810
say unusual, magnetic, and this 
is kind of similar to the first 

70
00:04:35,810 --> 00:04:40,490
word, but kooky. 
I love that word. 

71
00:04:41,770 --> 00:04:44,370
Me too. 
And also magnetic. 

72
00:04:44,930 --> 00:04:47,900
I say magnetic. 
Not just because they were very 

73
00:04:47,900 --> 00:04:52,100
drawn to each other, but also 
because I do think that they are

74
00:04:52,580 --> 00:04:56,020
quite different from each other.
And I think that that attracted 

75
00:04:56,500 --> 00:05:00,340
each other to the other, OK, 
because they do seem pretty 

76
00:05:00,340 --> 00:05:03,660
similar. 
So I'm curious to hear why you 

77
00:05:03,660 --> 00:05:04,980
say? 
That I know that's like the 

78
00:05:05,020 --> 00:05:07,140
age-old thing like similar but 
different. 

79
00:05:09,580 --> 00:05:12,610
I think they have a similar. 
Aesthetic, But I think 

80
00:05:12,610 --> 00:05:14,530
personality wise, they're really
different. 

81
00:05:14,530 --> 00:05:16,770
Oh, interesting. 
Well, so. 

82
00:05:16,770 --> 00:05:19,090
Who, like what are their 
personalities? 

83
00:05:19,090 --> 00:05:21,410
I honestly have no idea. 
Like I just. 

84
00:05:21,610 --> 00:05:25,650
I'm going to tell you, I'm going
to tell you now, to start, I'm 

85
00:05:25,650 --> 00:05:28,290
going to read this description 
that I liked from the Guardian 

86
00:05:28,290 --> 00:05:31,690
just to just to set the scene. 
I just liked this paragraph. 

87
00:05:31,690 --> 00:05:34,730
I read. 
It said before Burton Bonham 

88
00:05:34,730 --> 00:05:38,290
Carter's public image was that 
of an enjoyably punkish posh 

89
00:05:38,290 --> 00:05:40,770
woman. 
Stephanie Guinness across with 

90
00:05:40,850 --> 00:05:43,370
Isabella Blow. 
I'm not quite sure who that is. 

91
00:05:43,810 --> 00:05:47,130
He brought out her goth side and
she toned down his more 

92
00:05:47,130 --> 00:05:50,610
scissorhandsish tendencies, 
smiling in photos instead of 

93
00:05:50,610 --> 00:05:52,410
staring out with a haunted 
scowl. 

94
00:05:52,650 --> 00:05:55,330
They were so well matched they 
looked like one of his drawings 

95
00:05:55,330 --> 00:05:57,330
come to life. 
Characters straight out of 

96
00:05:57,330 --> 00:05:59,210
Beetlejuice. 
She appeared in eight of 

97
00:05:59,210 --> 00:06:02,650
Burton's films, including Planet
of the Apes, Big Fish, Charlie 

98
00:06:02,650 --> 00:06:06,250
and the Chocolate Factory, Alice
in Wonderland and SUNY Todd and 

99
00:06:06,250 --> 00:06:08,240
Then. 
And she said, although I never 

100
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,560
got a free ride with Tim because
I was sleeping with him, I was 

101
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,640
always auditioning and I gave 
him two kids and everything. 

102
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,280
She cackles again. 
All right, I will have to stop 

103
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:22,920
the episode right there. 
Thank you so much for listening 

104
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,000
