Breaks & No Hard Feelings

No Hard Feelings

Reegs: Welcome to Bad Dad's Film Review. The podcast that is to intelligent discourse as America is to gun control completely fucking hopeless. Which is why here at Bad Dads, we are advocating for mandatory assault, rifle distribution at birth for all Americans.

Because if every baby emerges clutching an AR 15, at least they've got a fighting chance in a country where thoughts and prayers is considered effective ballistic protection. Anyway, this week we're taking time out from our usual incompetence to discuss the top five breaks from coffee to psychotic. We promised to deliver more crack than Tommy Robinson's business partners.

is Our

main event sees us dissecting no hard feelings, where Jennifer Lawrence plays a financially desperate woman paid to deflower a socially awkward teenager. It's a coming of age story, really, except Jennifer Lawrence has already done the aging and the coming happens awkwardly on her thighs. A quick warning before we get started, we're about to shatter more illusions than walking in on your parents fucking, and if it wasn't already obvious, there will be a few swears.

So if you've [00:01:00] never listened to this show before and didn't know that you're about to have a very unpleasant time, and to be fair, if you have listened to the show before, you are also in for a very unpleasant time.

Dan: Yeah,

it

is a no win situation.

Reegs: Time to meet this

week's human equivalent of

participation trophy, starting with Dan.

He's so old. He remembers when taking five meant taking five minutes to sharpen your spear in his capacity for giving a damn suffered. A complete structural failure that engineers still study to this day as a cautionary tale

Next up, dazzling Chris who curates films with the same broad-minded approach as an anorexic meal planning.

Unless someone's getting their windpipe crushed with a tire iron. Chris watches movie like a man being slowly digested by a python aware, uncomfortable, and counting the minutes until death brings sweet relief.

And taking a

breather in third place, the man who told me the best part of my week is getting the bitches to roll over and spread their legs wide.

Clearly all those hours volunteering at the shelter have been worthwhile. It's sidey. Yeah. And then there's

Dan: Oh, LA[00:02:00]

Hola. Hello Been watching much this week. Other than the films we're gonna review,

Reegs: Ted Lasso season three. I've been watching a bit of that.

Dan: Is that been out a

Reegs: Yeah.

Yeah.

But I have finally started to catch up with it. Okay. It's really dips off the quality in

Sidey: Oh, really? They're coming back for another one. Well, don't they?

Reegs: Are they? I

Dan: I really liked all of it, to be honest.

Reegs: fancy Hannah Wadham or whatever her name is a

Dan: she Keely? No, no. Which

Sidey: one? No. Keeley Hazel was the page three guy.

Yeah.

Dan: Yeah.

Reegs: No. The one, she's like, the

Sidey: shame. One from Game of Thrones.

Dan: Oh, right. Yes.

Reegs: Oh, Yeah.

Well, so, Yeah,

Dan: yeah,

No, I, I really loved that show, to be honest. It was one of those rare programs that me and the Mrs actually sat down. In fact, it had a football kind of theme through it was

Reegs: West Ham as well. They're the bad

Dan: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're

badass.

Sidey: it?

Dan: Anyway, we're not talking about football. No.

Reegs: No.

Sidey: Unless it's walking football. What about you, Dan?

Dan: I [00:03:00] did watch something. It's just got out my mind. What it was

it

was something with my daughter. I'll come back to it, but it wasn't obviously that memorable.

Sidey: Okay. Yeah, Chris,

Cris: I have the same thing as done, which

Reegs: you watched something with his daughter.

Cris: I didn't. I watched something with Kea last week, which is a film called Havoc

with

Reegs: Oh, Tom Hardy A any good?

Cris: It is. Okay. Yeah. But

Reegs: I fancied that one,

Cris: Look, it, it's, it's not bad, but it's another one that I, I didn't stay until the end because it just, I knew what was gonna happen, but until 15 minutes towards the end, I was like, I know there's too much fighting, too much action.

It's a very fairly simple premise. The only problem I have with that is because he's been released in the same time almost as Mob Land, and he kind of plays a similar, very similar character only in Mob Land. He's the right hand man of the crime family in this one. He's a dirty cop, but all of them are dirty cops.

[00:04:00] and it's a lot of shooting, so it's like, it's like John Wick, Tom Hardy being John Wick, but he's a dirty cop and there's a lot of Asian people that get killed. Spoiler alert.

Reegs: Sounds good

Cris: Sounds good though. Which is, look, it's, it is good. It's, you know, shoot him up type thing. And I've watched on Netflix limited series because I do like a limited series, and generally I like what do you call them, based on real characters and all

Dan: Yeah, yeah. Real

Cris: A film about Griselda Blanco is called Griselda with the one with Sophia Vera.

Sidey: Yeah, I know

Cris: Where, where she gets made ugly rather than the way she actually looks. She was at the Terrance Crawford,

Sidey: oh. She

Cris: Saul Alvarez fight

Reegs: who, Who

is she? Who was she?

Vera? No. No.

Cris: Oh, Grisel de Blanco.

Have you ever heard of the cocaine cowboys?

Sidey: matriarch?

of

Cris: She was called the, the Godmother, LA Madina, and they made the film about her. It's I think six episodes. It was good. And it, it has the Mutiny Hotel. There's, there's got a few like, actual facts about her life and what happened, but it's already very accurate.

They've taken a lot of, [00:05:00] yeah. A lot of creative license or whatever to do that. And that's everything I watch except for, and I watch the England game against Serbia,

Reegs: yeah,

Sidey: that. I watched The Ballad

of

something.

Cris: Buster Scrubs? No.

Sidey: No.

It's the one on an island

where Tim Key

pays

for his

favorite bands to come and play.

Reegs: Oh, was that any

Sidey: Yeah, it's really good.

Reegs: What is that called? Yeah, no, I know that

Sidey: Kerry Mulligan

and that guy are in it.

Reegs: That could be a pod nomination, right?

Sidey: Yeah, It's really good. So it is like, how did you

like. how

did you get the money for this? The guy's asking him, he's like, well, I won the

Cris: Wallis Island.

Sidey: That's

1. Wall Island. Yeah.

And then I went traveling for ages and age and ages till all the money was gone. He's

like, okay, so where'd you get the money for This? He goes, oh, I played the lottery again and won

it second time.

And

he's just like a bit of an idiot But it's really good. Yeah. Yeah. We should, we should watch

it.

It's fun. I did enjoy

Dan: that.

I, I just remembered we watched loads of Simpsons, but not the newer ones, which has been what [00:06:00] my daughter's been watching. She's finally getting, she says, actually, the old ones are better. And I goes, yes, correct. Exactly. Yeah. So we started watching from like season six, season

Sidey: That's a real sweet spot.

Reegs: written by Schwartz welder

Sidey: and

and Phil Hartman's

content as

Dan: It, was, it was just, ab, you know, so many, many lows.

Sidey: We had a bit

of feedback.

Reegs: We did on top five copies copy nomination Paul Rudd in the TV mini series called Living With Yourself We A Clone Of Intakes Over His Life. I saw that.

That's on Netflix. That's a limited

series. Chris. She also points out to this day she will never use a public toilet stall next to an occupied one. Yeah. Mel on Discord, if there's others available because of the film that we reviewed last week, copycat, she says she doesn't remember anything else about the movie apart

from that

scene.

Somebody

Sidey: that's unlucky to reoccur though.

Reegs: Mm.

Dan: Yeah,

But why take the chance?

Sidey: That's true. actually.

Cris: Well, unless there's a glory

Sidey: hole I suppose the risk is never

zero, is it?

Dan: exactly.

Sidey: Yeah.

Cris: If there's a hole in the stall, then

Sidey: Yeah.

that's

Cris: get something [00:07:00] poking in your ear.

Reegs: And

I think Darren had some copies for us.

Mickey 17.

Sidey: seen that yet. That's

Reegs: the bong June ho, one, isn't it? Yeah. I haven't

Cris: Is

that something really? The Patti Patties, Patti pants.

Reegs: plays a clone. There is, diamonds are forever. I don't remember this. Blow fell, create surgical

Sidey: diamond. It's terrible. That one. Yeah.

Yeah.

Cris: is that a James Bond?

Sidey: It's one of the, like, Sean Cony who's gone, like,

he's carried

on for too long.

Cris: I think that's the one I remember the most. It's probably because it's so bad.

Sidey: Yeah.

Reegs: And then single white female, which is a great shout where she, that's the whole premise of the film is that she co moves in and takes over her

Sidey: Squatters rights.

Dan: Yeah. She

gives a blowjob oh, What is

Reegs: oh, what a terrible thing to have happened to. me. Yeah.

Cris: Shocking.

Reegs: And

so are we gonna put all of those in.

Dan: Yeah. I, I will big shout out to Melissa Mo and the leaf native for their recommendations. Thank you.

Sidey: Nice. Top five

breaks.

Dan: Go for it. Should we take a [00:08:00] break?

Well, yeah. Breaks because we did for the midweek take on breakdown Yeah. With Kurt Russell. So,

Reegs: that. Yeah.

Didn't we do varying degrees. I think

Sidey: Mrs. Sebo enjoyed it as well. Did

Reegs: she? Yeah. She likes an action thriller,

Sidey: she? does. Yeah. Yeah.

Reegs: was a, a strong one.

Sidey: Yeah.

Dan: There's lots of breaks in movies and I suppose it's how you are going to interpret this break. To

get us started. I'm gonna do break with a title and it's point break. That's an easy one to start us off. Point break obviously being the, the point that a break on a wave breaks.

Obviously. Yeah. That's how well I've described

that.

Yeah.

And that's, that's surfer talk. If, you know, it, if you wanna hang five or 10 with the boys, then that's what you're gonna do. You're gonna break

Cris: What if you want hang with the girls. What do you

Sidey: I don't

Dan: Well, I I'm sure that happens.

Oh, it does. A little bit,

Reegs: pretty inclusive,

I think I [00:09:00] do. Don't listen to the waffling old man in the corner.

Dan: Not maybe in this film though. There wasn't. there was one.

Cris: Ah, right. Sorry.

Sidey: No, there's The, chick,

Dan: the chick, She's,

Reegs: no, absolutely. Yeah. That she, she

Dan: She's way better surfer than all of us put

Reegs: In fact, her dream was to go, if you remember to go and surf all the beaches,

Dan: made that dream.

Cris: Sad times,

Dan: point break Swayze, I mean.

Could he?

Yeah. RIP Could he have challenged Kurt Russell's hair and break down?

Sidey: That's strong hair.

Reegs: I know.

Dan: we got some amazing hair in this. I mean, he's got his blonde, he's got the surfer.

Sidey: Look, Johnny, Utah.

Dan: Johnny, he, he gets to see Johnny fucking Utah. He gets going. What am I gonna do, Johnny, I'm not gonna pat on New Zealand.

There's some great fucking Swayze content. Rest in peace.

Sidey: Yeah.

Rest in power.

Dan: Rest in power, indeed. Great hair.

Reegs: He's a loss though, wouldn't he? Imagine what he would've been churning out.

Dan: I tell you what, he got better with ages. Well, he did some really more [00:10:00] serious

Sidey: Played a pedo in Donny Darko.

let's go off. It's one of my favorite lines. in any film ever.

Dan: Yeah.

Shame. A real shame. But what did he leave as? Some great movies and point. break being one

Sidey: Christian,

Cris: I've got some well, I've got one or two maybe films where you, there's a few bones being broken.

Sidey: Yeah.

Cris: Most of the action film action. Most of the action films, mostly the

Sidey: it the other way.

Cris: mostly.

Mostly the action films there. I don't think I have an Australian one where someone breaks there.

Reegs: bone toma hawke. things

get broken in that from, Oh, and Actually, the guy who was in this week's

Cris: I've got, there's a couple of them. Buser Kean and Frank Sinatra fractured different real bones in while they were playing in films.

Frank Sinatra, Frank, his pinky finger while karate chopping a prop table that was not [00:11:00] breakaway. It doesn't tell me when, which film, so I'm really sorry about that. I did

Sidey: Man with the golden

Cris: and Buser Kean Kean says in the film, Cheryl Holmes, he structured a fractured neck

Reegs: Oh.

Cris: when he was knocked off a moving train.

I've

Dan: I've done that. It hurts.

Cris: I can imagine. Yeah.

Sidey: Jackie Chan,

I think like Every bone in his body. And he's got a hole in his head to this day, hasn't

he?

Cris: Yes. Yeah.

Sidey: I was

in Total

Film Magazine. They had just like, you know, like a cardboard. It wasn't, a cardboard card, but it's like a, a portrait

of Him. Yeah. With arrows. to like every Bone that he'd Broken

It was mad.

Cris: Mr.

Mr. Scientology, he's broken a few. Yeah. Tommy, he's broken a few bones. John Wick breaks quite a few bones in, especially in the chapter three.

Sidey: Parabellum.

Cris: Yeah. He breaks loads of bones in that one. Zena, the Warrior Princess.

This is a

Reegs: do you remember in the fly. when he does the

arm wrestle?

Yes.

Cris: Big little Big, big lesbian

Dan: Break.

Cris: gay Lucy.

Sidey: a big lesbian. Fancy though, isn't it? Zena? [00:12:00]

Dan: Well, there's some, there's some good breaks there.

Cris: Think

this

Sidey: is gonna

list every broken bone.

Reegs: Broken bone in film

Cris: No,

I've just, I've just got quite a few, so I'm gonna keep some for myself.

Sidey: Okay. Nice.

Commercial breaks

are

things that happen. Yeah.

And I remember when,

do you remember?

There was a

So they get

quite, especially over here, they get,

they're quite good, the

adverts occasionally.

And they, they can

actually

serialize the adverts themselves. do you remember the nest.

Cafe one?

going. Yeah. because then I, I from,

my dad still buys

the, the, newspaper and, but I remember I would, I would get

the paper and I would look

at what's on tele that night or there's any films coming up, whatever.

And on that it said

the new, it had an advert for the next Nest cafe advert when it was

gonna be premiered. to think.

What the fuck is

Dan: Well, it it was, it was, it started off with a guy going, oh, can I borrow some coffee?

Sidey: Yeah. They, they fucked, I

Dan: And it was like

he just moved in.

Sidey: Anthony Stewart

Reegs: I was about to say it was the guy from

Buffy,

Sidey: it was the, yeah,

Giles. he

Dan: moved [00:13:00] in next door.

And then

Sidey: was smoking

Dan: She was smoking hot. And it was like, oh, I might have some hot water to go with those granules and.

Sidey: I think I keep him here.

Dan: And then it just opened, it opened up. All

Sidey: So I think if you bought Nescafe, you got to Fuck was the message of the

advert?

Dan: Well, it was like the Pampers grass of

Reegs: yeah,

Dan: yeah.

Its Day wasn't

Reegs: you bought Yeah. Nescafe out

Sidey: and do you

sometimes,

get, not a commercial break, but you

get an

intermission in a, in a particularly long movie. And, there was one still,

you know, on the

streaming version

of

We

watched it for the

pod all, almost all of us apart from

Dan: oh

yeah. Watched

Sidey: for Pod Lawrence

Arabia And you think

you don't need to keep the intermission in the stream because I can just pause that shit whenever I want.

Dan: I love

Sidey: But it's there. I love

Dan: love that they kept it, it was like, it's even that long on A DVD. That you need to pause it

Reegs: They're just telling you stop fucking doing it.

Dan: This is, this is two hours you've

Sidey: like when Netflix says

Dan: absolutely glued to it. Best you [00:14:00] take a break now because we've got two more fucking electric hours.

Sidey: So commercial

breaks and especially the NECA one.

Have

Dan: Read it. Have you still never seen that?

Reegs: No.

I Still never seen

Sidey: It's a

Dan: Oh my

Reegs: I

know.

Well,

Dan: are you well, Sorry just for a second. 'cause you made me watch cats.

Reegs: Yeah.

Dan: When I said I didn't watch cats. and Even though I wasn't,

Reegs: you because

Dan: you because you shamed

me.

Sidey: shaming you.

Dan: worked.

and

Reegs: I know. Yeah. Yeah. I'll but I'll need to find the four hours. Break. Something else that you can break is wind.

Sidey: Oh yeah.

Dan: Oh, I've got a load of broken wind ones.

Reegs: Well join in. Farting. It's the expulsion of flatters from your distal tract.

And

Dan: I've got, a, I've got a couple brewing right now, but the Swiss army man, one was

Reegs: Oh, that

Dan: Really enjoyed that farting gag because Paul Dano was the corpse that was flight floating

Sidey: like a jet ski

Dan: And he suddenly became like, yeah,

Reegs: you've

probably got blazing saddles on there

Dan: Blazing Saddles, of course, is on their caddy. [00:15:00] Shack. You've got Austin Powers.

Reegs: I bet you haven't got on your list.

Air Buddies. One of the director video sequel to the Air Bud franchise. No.

Dan: Air

Reegs: has Bud Ball. right? Likes to fart a lot.

Dan: how dare you fart before me. Oh, sorry. I didn't know It's your turn.

Reegs: Ed from Sean are the dead. He's got a silent but deadly type variety. Did you ever see

Mystery

Men?

I really liked that movie.

Sidey: Yeah. it was,

Reegs: Ben Stiller.

Sidey: Hank Azaria's

Reegs: Hank Garia. Hank Cria the spleen. They had him. It was,

Sidey: was he No it wasn't.

it was Ben

still. who was the farting one. Was it Ben Stiller?

Reegs: No, Ben Stiller was like Mr. Angry or

Sidey: That's right.

Reegs: And Hanker's area I think had control over forks or spoons. And the spleen he was cursed with explosive flatulence after he blamed a fart on an old gypsy woman when he was walking in the park.

So, and he's in that and Thunder Pants. A 2002 British movie about a. Sort of farting child who becomes a sort of hero. And then of course there's our very own occasional guest host [00:16:00] Peter,

Who

is one of the most breaky, windy people I know.

Dan: Yes, he is indeed. I suppose you could add dumb and dumber onto that.

There was obviously the, the flatulence there the gas man. And was loads of fart kind of competition and jokes in that as well.

Reegs: Did you ever, this is a bit disgusting. Did you ever, have you ever lit a fart?

Sidey: Yeah.

Reegs: Yeah. Because you

Cris: of your own

Sidey: Yeah. Yeah.

Dan: I don't,

Reegs: well, you know, where you like someone else is

else's

Yeah.

Yeah. But I was probably more flexible in those days,

Dan: I don't, like 'em all.

Sidey: I've done it in a shell suit. Back in the day it was high risk.

Reegs: that is high

Sidey: High risk.

Reegs: Yeah.

And then you could throw a fart as, So this is really disgusting Do you Remember you Could yeah. You'd cut some, yeah.

Yeah. I somebody once did it to, who was it? Alan Clark.

threw it at him

Dan: This, This is a private schoolboy thing I think.

Sidey: at

least we've grown

out of all that

stuff.

Reegs: yeah.

Dan: Big time. Breakups, I've got a, a Vince Vaughn kind of breakup thing because he was

there

is the film [00:17:00] itself. There is, I can't even read my

Reegs: Do you want me to hold it over here for

Dan: It was, yeah.

the, the wedding crashes when there was a few breakups and getting back together is in that, but the one that I really remember him for you was is Paul, it was John.

Fru.

Is it? Yeah.

Reegs: Who,

who,

Dan: who, he knows who I'm talking

Sidey: about.

John Favre.

Dan: the

breakup in swingers where he's just absolutely in a

Reegs: on the phone, He's

Dan: on the phone, he's calling up.

Sidey: yeah. Vince's getting busy in the back

of the trailer and he is like,

need you the phone.

Dan: And he he's just

Reegs: leaves about 15 messages,

Dan: Yeah. With the breakup there, he's just broken hearted.

Sidey: a 10 outta 10

movie. I love that Chris

Cris: I've got a break. What is it called?

In the video Music Video Scream?

Sidey: Yes.

Cris: There is a, there's a sound of broken glass from the actual song Jam. [00:18:00] Which is playing in the background of the, of the Song of the Scream. And there is a visual effect of shattered glass, which is

Sidey: Broken They're playing, its him and Janet, aren't, they're playing like sort of Air Tennessee sort. of thing over the park.

Cris: So in that I, I don't have another music video.

I probably should have told I should probably should have done a better research on that. But I do like that video. The song not so much I do like Michael Jackson, however, but apparently in the live performances for Jam, Michael Jackson would rise from the stage with a shattering glass sound effect before beginning his dance.

An iconic moment of fans. So it would be the sound of breaking glass when he comes through on the stage. So can I have that?

Reegs: Yeah,

Dan: Got it. Thank you.

Sidey: Like a

mental breakdown?

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: Falling down. I missed that one pod, but we did do it on the pod. You seen

it No, I've still never seen it. I spit it out there. Arthur.

Fleck,

the, That,

the Joachim Jon joker. he sort of has a, a, a marginal kind of breakdown.

And Jack Torrance in The [00:19:00] Shining

he goes properly. loop. Yeah. He really loses it.

So

those breakups,

Pete's a big fan

of the sitcom

friends.

Ross and Rachel, what did he always say to her?

Reegs: Oh, that was gonna be my no, we were on a break.

okay.

Sidey: Sorry. So, that's

Reegs: that's all right.

Sidey: Breaking the fourth wall.

Reegs: Yeah.

that's a

good One.

Your favorite,

Ferris Bueller.

Sidey: Right?

So

it is gonna be my comment about

the film.

Wayne does it

in Wayne's World quite a lot. Mm-hmm. Deadpool, of course. Yes. Yeah. Then, then Ferris Buer. I fucking hate Matthew Broderick.

I hate him.

Cris: He's in the one that I watched.

Sidey: this,

fucking film. You watch this,

Cris: Oh, he is in this

Dan: I dunno How you hate him?

Sidey: I dunno. I dunno. Myself, I dunno what it is about him, it just appears,

Dan: he done?

Sidey: think it's because I

hate

Cris: he in Godzilla as well?

Reegs: Yep.

Cris: Yeah. What a

Reegs: was.

Sidey: Yeah. And

yeah, so Breaking forth

all,

Reegs: Do you want some sort of breaky

Sidey: Yeah.

Reegs: Yeah. Break

Gillen Hall,

Hugh Kramen, ter and Howard Crush. Pratt. Brad Split and Burst Reynolds. Nice. [00:20:00]

Dan: like

Reegs: what I've got for you. Then another thing you can break is you are fast. When you are hungry, you can have breakfast In the morning. And breakfast involves typically two of the scenes that I hate most in modern movies.

I know you need shorthand for showing who everybody is and all that, but breakfast scenes basically boil down to two things. A moment where somebody sits down to a huge, beautifully cooked breakfast, take one bite of toast and then fuck off to work straight away. Or the other one is the family scene where the dad who's in a hurry has to get to work the mom, and he's like running around like a headless chicken.

The mom's frazzled and trying to service The kids, if they're young or if their kids are older, they're bored or ignoring you looking at their phone. I can't tell you how many movies you've seen. That fucking scene in there must be a better way to do it.

So yeah, breakfast, but other breakfasts in movies, Groundhog Day he's has a massive breakfast at the diner, uncle Buck. the fucking huge pancakes that he has [00:21:00] to turn with the snow shovel.

The Hobbits have second breakfast.

Sidey: That's before elevens I think.

Reegs: Yeah. And my favorite breakfast is the breakfast in train spotting where I, I don't think in the review you talked about this scene is when he goes to it's spud at his ex-girlfriend Gail's house. And he's, he's had too much to drink the night before and he's shot the bed.

And they're all having breakfast in the morning, and he comes down and he's got this like duvet full of shit basically. And, and he's too embarrassed to let it go and the mum grabs it

Sidey: from which you would be

Reegs: flings shit across the entire dining room.

Cris: I've got a breakfast scene more likely in Pulp Fiction when the, at the diner they do go for breakfast and it's, it's quite a, it's at the beginning and not

Sidey: yeah, it doesn't feast on swine.

Cris: so

he doesn't like the swine and all that, so he is not Jewish and

Reegs: Yeah.

It's the one that says bad motherfucker on

Sidey: it.

Yeah. Yeah.

Cris: So I can I say

Reegs: please. I

I wish you would.

Sidey: you

Should we nob

done.

Dan: Yeah, I've just got a few [00:22:00] breakout movies. Obviously there was a big breakout this week for the young 15-year-old who won through adolescence. The, the movie not the movie, the series. You had the Shaw Shank Redemption, he broke out.

You had escape from Alco tra.

He broke out The great escape. They broke out midnight Express.

Reegs: They broke in.

Dan: broke in. He, he broke out Paon.

yeah. He broke out there as well. And the, the count of um, he broke out, didn't so there was a few

Reegs: and escape plan.

Cris: Yeah. With,

Dan: you more escaped there with really

Cris: Can

I say about breakdowns?

Because no one said breakdowns. So I I'm gonna say breakdowns.

Dan: Was gonna be my

Reegs: Oh. Break dancing. I've got

Dan: fame, but

Cris: fame, no. I've got break

Reegs: Breakin. Yeah, Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. No, you go for

Cris: Break. I'm not numbing because I've got something else. Even better than that. But I just had to say something about break dancing because no one said anything.

Yeah. Break in and there's breaking two electric

Reegs: That was gonna be my second norm. Yeah. that was [00:23:00] gonna be,

Cris: oh fuck.

Reegs: Electric boogaloo.

Yeah. It's the greatest addition to a. Franchise's name ever. Yeah. And people now just append it to everything, you know? fast and

Cris: I've also got a documentary, which I've actually seen, I dunno why it's Planet Bboy.

Reegs: Mm.

Cris: It's a documentary about a break, break dancer. And he's really, really good. And he just does all this weird shit. So, yeah. I just thought I'd remind people that, sorry, I didn't I didn't know that you were gonna say that. Shall we know? Sorry, now that I've ruined the rigs,

Dan: let's knm up, I I will get my no in there before anybody else ruins it.

Reegs: I'm going break into electric Booy. Absolutely.

Cris: Yeah. You have to.

Sidey: Oh,

I'm gonna go for lost in translation because there's a couple of

[00:24:00] references to breaks.

Bob says that in the bar

he's trying to organize a prison break.

When she asks

him what

he's doing there, he says he's on a break from his wife. And then there's a scene later on where

she's having dinner with her husband, but he's talking to all the hangers on and the guy leans over to her and and says, do you know about Breakbeat?

And she just like, is so depressed with

his shit chat and

she just keeps looking over at Bob and wants to

to have a proper connection of someone not talk about Breakbeat.

Reegs: And that was Sophia Coplar processing the breakup of her relationship to Spike

Sidey: auto autobiographical.

Reegs: Spike Jones then processed that breakup himself in the movie her, which also featured Scarlet Johansen, which is a bit, so they both viewed their breakup of their relationship through the lens of Scarlet

Sidey: Nice. Amazing. But why not? I

mean,

Cris: I mean, yeah. Well, well, since no one mentioned it, I'm surprised no one mentioned this because it's a very common topic. It's a penile fracture, which is penis being broken.

Sidey: Yeah. Ouch.

Cris: it happened in real life in a film called Jackass 3D, [00:25:00] where Johnny Knoxville joining Knoxville suffered a penile fracture where in a, a, a motorcycle handle hit him during a jump and the motorcycle lands on him.

Yeah. Yeah. And it says that he was left to a catheter

Sidey: Yeah, they, they're

Cris: for over three years, but he has stated his penis now is in great working order. Okay.

And there was also in the Grey Anatomy, this this incident was featured just to bring attention to the public because this is an injury involving thing.

Yeah. It's, it can happen.

Reegs: you know anyone who's fractured their penis?

Dan: Yeah. He's a,

Sidey: human

Dan: who takes away cars.

Sidey: They've had their relationship

of sorts, or certainly a fling, which he was quite

keen on her.

But she seems to be fairly aloof about

every relationship.

Dan: That's right. Yeah. We meet her as, as someone who will try and manipulate people to her own advantage, but [00:32:00] soon they get to know the real her and

Sidey: well, she's got money problems.

out the gate with no school problem. 'cause that her

Dan: haven't we all? haven't we all?

Sidey: And that's bad for her 'cause she's

a.

An Uber

Cris: that's her career. She's, she's got a career in Uber driving.

Reegs: Yeah. So,

Dan: And Gary,

Reegs: the ex, the tow truck driver is not too sympathetic when repossessing her car,

Sidey: There's quite a good gag

Reegs: This sort of Hispanic guy comes out in his pants from the trailer as

she's

Cris: Have you seen his name in the credits?

Reegs: What was it?

Cris: Stunning Italian man.

Reegs: Stunning Italian man.

came out,

Sidey: good

Reegs: was

stunning. And she says, oh, that's my cousin. And he starts feeling her tits. He's like, oh, that's my second cousin.

Dan: from Europe. Yeah. Yeah,

Sidey: he sort of slacks her off. Says, look, you, you know, you wouldn't commit, you know, you would never call me back and 'cause look anyway, you're really like non-committal.

And then we see him excited. Yeah.

See him ordering a drink? and He's like,

Reegs: well that's, yeah. As he repossess it, he's at the coffee shop and you see her

Sidey: trying to steal it back

everywhere

Reegs: in on roller [00:33:00] skates and she steals the car back.

or attempts to. She starts to unhook it from the trailer while he's still inside fucking picking his breakfast.

And she almost gets it done then puts her foot down and it's still tied to the back and she's sort of hopelessly spinning around sorts of we cut to the title after that.

Dan: Yeah. And she goes to court. She's got some kind of surfer dude, hippie guy, lawyer who's a friend of hers and we see

Reegs: Gabe Sawyer, the surfing lawyer is his character.

Cris: He's na, native American.

Reegs: Yeah, he's the actor is, 'cause you've seen him in loads of stuff. He's

Sidey: there's a good gag here as well. cause she's losing her car. She's getting and

She's like, he's like. You need to get some money

together or you're gonna lose.

blah. blah.

She's like, do you even know what it's like to have things taken away from you? And she's like,

oh yeah. Oh yeah.

Reegs: He just stares at her.

like,

Cris: that was actually, yeah. I like that.

Reegs: And her mates are Jim and Sarah. Sarah [00:34:00] is heavily pregnant. And Jim is a kind surfer first.

Cris: He looks like he's pregnant as well, a little bit.

Sidey: They relatively

sensible compared to her.

Reegs: Yeah. well they've, they've got a baby on the way basically, so they're straightening up, but she, they live in Montauk,

Sidey: say,

Reegs: Sort of seaside town? short town, and it's like, it's one of those places where

Sidey: it's much like, much like, bait

Reegs: yeah, exactly. The gentrification. Yeah, it was like bait. So in the summer there's an influx of tourists and money and that's when she can make her, her the money that she needs.

Sidey: She's,

she's

Working in a.

Hospitality. Yeah. And she's just a dick to people who come in and people are like, no, you can't do that. We need to fucking,

Reegs: that woman's sister. I'm sorry, she's got a disability. She's like, what? No, I haven't.

Dan: the only reason I gave you this job.

Sidey: But people, what's happening now is that people are not just coming

in for holidays, they're

coming in, they're buying

up properties,

and she's really resentful of

these people coming in.

Reegs: They all are. Yeah.

Dan: well, because [00:35:00] her, the, the price of her taxes have skyrocketed. She owns her house, but she still needs to pay property taxes. I dunno quite how it works in America, but,

Sidey: just, she's just got bills to pay It

Dan: She's got bills to pay. it. But I think until the rich people came into town and pushed up the property

Reegs: that's exactly it.

Dan: Otherwise, the, the property taxes,

Sidey: fairly comfortable

Dan: She

was fairly comfortable. but she's lived in the same house, but she can't afford the taxes just to live where she's Living now And the, the house, her grandmother or mother left her

Sidey: So there's only really one solution

to this problem.

Reegs: Yeah, and it comes up in conversation.

Her friend shows her a Craigslist advert, really as

Sidey: which was a real advert, which was the inspiration for the movie. That was a real advert that they saw.

Reegs: And it's a listening from a rich family asking for someone to inverted commas, date their son before he goes off to school. And in exchange you'll get a particular car. Did you get the name and make of this [00:36:00] particular car.

It's

Sidey: Buick

No, Oh,

Reegs: Buick Regal.

Dan: But it wasn't so much school as college. I mean, the, the kids are 18

Cris: he going to Princeton.

Sidey: always going to Princeton.

It's Ivy League. Yes. It's A big,

Big deal.

Yeah.

Reegs: So

they have a little bit of a debate about this. I mean, you know, the, the movie's not shy about comparing her directly to sex workers.

Sidey: They say that to her. The family said,

we

listen, we, we've got nothing against sex

work. She's like, I'm not a sex

Reegs: She said, well, the Jim, the, he says, you won't rent your house out, but now you're gonna rent out your v is what he says to her. But yeah, so anyway, it, it, she does go and follow up on this.

She needs the money debatable premise aside. keep going. And she does meet the parents who are Matthew Broderick. And someone else He's had this sort of formative experience when he was 19. He was shy and reclusive and he'd met an older woman just before he went to college and

Dan: Ms.

Robinson [00:37:00] type experience.

Reegs: of turned him into a man and he'd gone on to make a great success of his life.

And

Sidey: the way he's

describing it, and then he's almost gonna start listing out the stuff that they go up to.

and his wife's like,

I don't wanna

Reegs: no thanks.

Dan: we're going

a little too far here.

Reegs: Wanna create this scenario again for their sort of, again, slightly antisocial son.

So

Dan: so there's

a really good scene where she's being interviewed on the couch and

she

says okay. So I am probably just outside that profile that you wanted a little,

Sidey: because there's an age,

Reegs: early twenties is

Dan: Early, twenties. Well,

Reegs: says I'm more mid to late twenties.

Sidey: How old are you actually?

Dan: Yeah. Well, 29. 29.

Reegs: Just turned 29 last year.

Dan: Last year

Well, no,

Reegs: So you are 29 last year. Last year, yes.

Dan: no, last year. Last year. Yeah.

Reegs: so you are 30, 32 is what she says.

Dan: But she says you don't, you know, this kind of sensitive situation. You don't want somebody that's too young. know, so, And she talks 'em [00:38:00] around. And

Reegs: she's an absolute knockout as well.

Dan: Yeah. And she gets the, the job as far as they're concerned. And he works in a, an animal shelter. Yeah. And so that's where she's gonna go and introduce herself to him.

Reegs: Yeah. And so she puts on a slinky dress and goes around there to seduce him. There's a friend who works with him that she just completely ignores.

She's, she's like, I want him. And she slinks overall sexy. She says, can I touch your wiener? 'cause he's holding this dog. It's the first thing. It's just so over the top. And he's a very realistic 19-year-old in that he looks kind of a bit scrawny. He mostly plays computer games. And you

Dan: totally

shy.

Reegs: and a 3-year-old woman like that coming onto him, he just falls to pieces completely.

You know, it can't really flirt and then, then eventually when she offers him a lift home through just sheer force of. will, He thinks that she's stalking and ready to kill him. When She sees machetes [00:39:00] in the back of the van.

she's,

Dan: she, he's looking at the back of the van. He sees these garden tools and things and thinks I'm, I'm being like, kidnapped here.

And he, maces her

And she can't believe it, but then agrees as she convinces him to spray some water at a million miles an hour in, in her face to

a date the next night. And they say, right, we'll go for dinner. Which is really what she wants because she's going to get this car if this all goes well.

And that will get her the business that she needs back in the Uber

Reegs: She's got no preconceptions that she just kind of wants to fuck this guy and get this over with as quickly as possible. Because the next two thirds of the movie is gonna be her attempts to get him to fuck.

Cris: It's very

similar to the Pink Panther.

Only the rolls have

Reegs: the rolls of reverse. Yeah. So she takes him to a bar. Gets him a Long Island iced tea, which he absolutely hates.

Sidey: Then the waitress, like, it takes ages to get a drink and the waitress comes and she goes, oh, here she is, the flash

Which I thought was really

[00:40:00] funny.

And you can tell she's just wherever she goes, she's pissed someone off

there. Yeah.

Reegs: And usually a string of non, you know, relationships that have gone

Dan: one night stands men that have been into her that she's not called back in, things like that.

Reegs: And One guy, Travis, I think his name is, is gonna warn Percy not to get too attached to

Sidey: Yeah. in

Reegs: this very bar. Then afterwards they're gonna go for a little skinny dip.

As she tries to ratchet up the tension, he is desperate to diffuse the situation, not take his clothes off. He's like, oh, the beach is closed after 6:00 PM Like

Sidey: there's no lifeguards. The red flags are out a literal red flag. Yeah, but she doesn't give a fuck. She gets

naked. Yeah.

Goes in. He

reluctantly

I was thinking

he would,

I don't know.

Anyway, he does get naked and goes in the water as well. Wouldn't you know it?

Some

drunk teenagers. Steal their

Reegs: Yeah,

Dan: yeah. They're coming.

Sidey: which to him is like

Dan: she's not Yeah. She But she's not having that. And she runs after said drunk teenagers,

Reegs: completely bollock naked.

She shouts, come here, cunts at them,

and then

starts a [00:41:00] sort

Dan: throw sand in their face, she gets kicked right between the legs. Is

Sidey: a kick or

a punch?

Reegs: There's a punch? and a kick, There's, there's two Vagina shots in this,

Dan: Fight,

Sidey: But she scares them

off. They're

Reegs: nude fight seen since Eastern promises.

Is what I would say.

Dan: But it is CGI nude? is,

Reegs: unfortunately. So that wa doesn't count Dan,

Dan: didn't it?

Sidey: She, they're just like, oh my God, this was a completely lunatic and. Drop the clothes and run off and she gets back in the

Dan: then she goes back in the water like, oh, I've done

Reegs: let's go and have sex again.

sort of thing.

Dan: he,

He,

quite rightly is just like, this is fucking nuts. this is, this is crazy.

Reegs: And he says, no, and she acts, starts acting a bit hurt. That's what she's like, well, you don't think I'm attractive or whatever.

Dan: Is, is this where he grabs on the bonnet in the car? So he's she says, right, I'm gonna leave you then.

And she's got his clothes and she's gonna drive off. And he's like, what? You can't just leave me. So he's naked on the bonnet of the car. She's [00:42:00] driving increasingly faster down the road.

Sidey: The police cops,

the blues and twos come on and she's like, fuck, I can't get pulled over 'cause I'm on probation.

Dan: So, yeah, that's right.

Sidey: So I'm thinking, well,

Dan: so she get, he gets into the car and they just make it through the. Train

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: I don't think, Did he get the car Thought it

was still on the bottom when

Reegs: was still on

the bonnet when they go over

Sidey: and yeah, the

train goes through. But I was thinking if they would've had, like it's a police car.

in, America, they would've had her license anyway. That doesn't matter.

doesn't

Reegs: doesn't matter. So they go back to Maddy's place and she does a sexy little dance for and then she says, oh, do you wanna swap places? And he ends up sitting on her knee. She look, He looks like a child, like sitting on her knee.

It's

very funny.

And they're like closer to doing the do, he really wants to do it. That seems to be more of a genuine emotional connection this time round. He's and then he's got like a rash on his back.

Sidey: Yeah. He's got it's quite hideous rash. Yeah. Yeah. So then she's having to apply

lotion

Dan: ointment. and

Reegs: he talks a bit about his anxiety, which includes he had to, [00:43:00] he had a, a story that involved 'cause he slept in his parents' bed until he was quite

Dan: and it got outta

Reegs: story. Got outta school that he was, yeah, he got cheeked. So he had to move school. Did you

Dan: And did you really connect with this partner?

res.

Reegs: Which part?

Dan: The The

cheek. the the, the cheek

is gone.

Reegs: I did a lot of the

Dan: Yeah. Yeah. No, so she starts actually having a human connection with him.

Reegs: Well, she shares to him

Dan: he does

Reegs: her missed stuff as well.

'cause her right, she's the product, essentially of an affair. Yeah. Her father came to town.

Sidey: that's why she hates the foreigners. Really?

Reegs: It's why she hates the, the

Sidey: the influx. Yeah.

Reegs: Yeah. Yeah.

Sidey: he was

a rich blur of whatever, stockbroker

he'd come in, fuck someone, a waitress or whatever it was. Her mother.

Dan: mom.

Reegs: And then paid them

Sidey: Paid them off to keep her acquired. and,

ne and never, she wrote him a letter and

he just returned it. Unopened.

Reegs: Yeah. So that really explains why she's been stuck in this sort of perpetual, late adolescence, sort of as a teenager, hurt adult

Dan: they've swapped [00:44:00] some, some stories and

Sidey: they, we found out that they've, neither of them have been to

prom.

She didn't

go because of the, the letter I think came back on prom night. that's why she didn't go. She was too upset.

So

they're gonna have, they're gonna, they, they're sort of learning

stuff

from each other.

Reegs: Yeah.

They're

Cris: go on a date, right? With a

Sidey: He gets the corsage. They have, their, they have their prom,

Dan: Yeah.

Cris: that's when he plays

Reegs: They go to Quasar and all sorts

Dan: That

Cris: he plays

the piano.

No,

Sidey: Yeah. She, she sort of says, oh, you, you do all this stuff that's really cool. You should play And it's like, nah, no, I'm

Dan: like that, But in, in the first,

Sidey: about Haller Oats

Dan: in the first bar they've been to, they play the Haller oat song, man. Eater. That's right.

Sidey: He thinks it's a story about Monster.

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: he literal

Reegs: like an actual monster.

Dan: monster. But he's gone home and learned it. And she knows that. He did know it that night. So when he plays it at a piano in, she says, look, if you don't play that piano right there, and it's one of those posh restaurants with a grand piano in it. And the guy just got up from playing the guy who [00:45:00] actually gets paid for playing.

And she says, if you don't get up and Start fucking screaming and shouting and, you know, making a real scene of it. And I'll, I'll say, you the world's greatest love in front of everyone. He, God,

Reegs: God, how awful that would be.

Dan: Well, he, he's so shy, isn't he? That he, yeah, he kind of, he goes, go on then do it.

And then she goes, right, okay. And she tings on the okay. Right.

And he plays this amazing kind of,

Reegs: I had no idea this kid had that in him at all. When he starts singing and you're like,

Sidey: well she's, she's not for six as well. She's like

looking at him like, oh my God.

Dan: that

Cris: Well, it's also a reference to her.

Right. That song. So it's not really

Dan: Oh, it's it is, it is totally you know, on

Cris: not just because she was mesmerized by him singing. It's

Reegs: Well, I think

Dan: yeah,

if you know the words to that

Sidey: you start to think like, well, she hasn't caught feelings here.

Surely.

Like

Actual romantic.

Reegs: Well,

Cris: well,

anyway, until the Asian girl comes in and then that's a

Dan: Yeah, a little bit of [00:46:00] jealousy. Is it Jenny or something? Natalie.

Reegs: Natalie.

Dan: Natalie,

Sidey: yeah. There's a, there's a mixer for all the kids that are going off to college

Dan: and she comes over and says, I'm gonna Princeton too. And

Reegs: she starts treating her like she's really old. She's like, oh, excuse me, ma'am. And all this

Sidey: sort of stuff.

Reegs: And she gets really bitchy straight away.

Jennifer Lawrence's character, it's

very

funny.

Cris: Do

have a bit of a thing, sorry. Because he does say that, ah, it's only an hour, four hours on the train. Or I could drive. And she's like, I'm not driving to Princeton. And he's like, well, it's all four hours on the train. And she's like, Hmm. And then they kind of have a bit of a fallout and he's like, look, I'm going to this party.

Do you wanna come or not? Yeah, I'm going anyway. And she follows him there. And it's, to be fair, I didn't really, it's a whole scene here. In this house. He is like, whose mom is that? And all that.

Dan: It's it's a big party. She's got, starts getting some stick because she's clearly like 10 years older than the other,

Reegs: There's a little bit of commentary about this generation and [00:47:00] how kind of wimpy they are. 'cause she goes through all the rooms,

Sidey: you know what? Fuck anymore?

Reegs: games. Yeah. Well, It's nobody fuck anymore. People are playing

Dan: Well, when she gets to the, when she gets to him right at the top, he's in bed with Natalie and he's taking a pill.

And he's, he's clearly not looking good. And she's like, right, okay, what you need to do? Put two fingers down your throat. I'll fucking put two fingers down your throat. And she's making him puke up. She's wedge. He's going, oh, I just never knew that. Taking like a paracetamol with,

And she's like, what? You've taken, she was thinking obviously it was some

Sidey: Yeah.

So I think there's, there's like a keg. I think there's

a beer, isn't there? Yeah.

But there's no one's like getting smashed here.

It's just like

a few drinks And then the parents, the parents are still there.

Dan: also,

Reegs: Also,

Sidey: they come

into the bathroom and they're like, yeah, of course

we're still here. It's a

fucking high

school party.

Reegs: Yeah. And she's made a sort of a half homophobic joke that the generation, again, this generation,

Sidey: like they're filming everything

Reegs: incensed and suddenly all the cameras said, what's funny about two men kissing.

Like

[00:48:00] uh, like.

So, it's all gone very wrong. And she's also had to shining her way through the door as well It's all gone. Very, very, very wrong. And it culminates with the parents there. And Percy takes a swing at the dad, doesn't he? And ends up punching her in the throat.

So the scene ends with them going back in the limo with her. Like she's got

Sidey: a can

Reegs: can on a, can on her neck

Dan: I icing her neck.

Reegs: and He tells her that he loves her, but he's

Dan: and he does want to do it tonight.

Reegs: too

Sidey: Don't they get a, Doesn't he get Johnny's

out

this

this moment? or is that Yes.

Cris: Yeah. He, he,

Sidey: cause they, they get, she gets condom out. He says something

about.

Being in love with her or something like

Cris: I love you. Yeah. And

Sidey: she puts it back in It's like, this is not right.

Cris: You're too drunk when I don't want to take advantage

Sidey: No, not on your first

time like so she's gonna

go back then to the parents after this andt. she?

Cris: Well, no, he

Reegs: Well, next, day he goes back to the parents. Yeah.

Cris: He tells them,

Sidey: going

Reegs: He tells him,

I'm just gonna [00:49:00] stay, You know, I'm not going to, you know,

I'm a

Cris: I'm a man now.

Reegs: I'm a man now.

Dan: Yeah. He is falling in love with her. They got serious. And so the parents called her

and. she's, she says, well, of course, right. Look, I'll, I'll call it down and everything. He catches half the conversation by listening through his dad's Tesla.

Which is kind of connected to the house phone. And so he gets half that conversation, but enough to know that the parents and her have planned this from the beginning. Yeah. And,

Reegs: and like it's a damning 'cause she's like, I think the sentence he hears just something like, oh, so I don't have to sleep with him to get the car.

Yeah. So it's like really in the context, really awful. 'cause we know at this moment she feels

Dan: Yeah.

Reegs: blah blah.

Dan: And, and so that's a real kind of low moment for him, but he invites her over for dinner and just kind of acts a complete

dick

Reegs: He does the man standing next, doesn't he?

You know what? the man

standing.

Cris: Yeah. So the wine.

Reegs: the big drink, he does the same

thing in [00:50:00] this. He falls a massive glass of wine next it and then invites her over. She comes

in,

Cris: he

Sidey: He also vandalizes the car that she

would get.

Yeah.

Which he can't Do it first. He's trying to break the window and it keeps

Dan: it's like, yeah,

Sidey: at the end he has to chainsaw tree down

Dan: Buick Regal is pretty indestructible, isn't it?

But

Yeah, she does eventually you know, come to the house and she can't understand like why he is acting like that. And he goes, well, 'cause you fucking made this plan with my parents. That's why. you, And she's gutted because actually she has developed,

if

not romantic feelings, at least feelings of He's quite an amazing kid.

Reegs: Yeah.

Sidey: And also he's, he's helped her

to reconcile her

Her

like trauma from

her father and

stuff. And she's starting to realize,

Reegs: yes, and no, It's more, Yeah. That sort of happens when it all falls apart. That's when she really.

Sidey: Yeah. So now this moment she's gonna,

there's a guy,

Reegs: Well, we've gotta have the, he he, they try to have sex first, don't they?

Sidey: Yeah. But there's been a [00:51:00] guy earlier trying to commit her to

sell the gaff. Yeah. And that's gonna, that's gonna

come along. But yeah,

they they, do have some pretty horny

Reegs: Yeah.

Dan: he,

Cris: that was her thigh though. it

was, it wasn't,

Sidey: still counts.

Dan: quite good.

And he goes did you come as well?

Reegs: Yeah, I know. Yeah.

He does like a two and a half thrusts on her thighs. And is, did you come as well? She's like, no,

Dan: It's not in that's just between my legs. Like and he, he gets a bit too excited.

Reegs: Was, it was weird that moment though, because he was essentially kind of coercing her and she was kind of going along with it because she felt that she owed it to It's a weird, weird bit of

Dan: basically. And, and she kind of wipes it off with his

Reegs: bear, lobster,

Dan: bear,

Sidey: lobster

Dan: Teddy bear LOBs that behind the bed. And they're both kind of pissed off at each other. Well, she, he's pissed off at her. he, ends up as they're sat on the beach, then that counts.

That counts for

Sidey: But they do

Reegs: a bit later. but They

Dan: know that's a bit

later,

Sidey: They do Reconcile.

Reegs: Yeah.

Cris: Well, she gets the [00:52:00] car right. That's the thing. She gets the car. This

scene

by, by Bill again or whatever his name is. Gary. The, the guy from the beginning brings the car and he's, she's like, that's not my car.

She's like, well, the deeds are in your name. So the papers are in your

Dan: a fucking Buick, it's pretty indestructible.

Reegs: Well,

It's fucked though.

Dan: It's fucked, though. It is fucked, but it's pretty, you know, it will still run. You just need the window's fucked whatever tape up, you can still drive it. You can still Uber in it

Reegs: and

then her bank account goes from 6,000 to 22,000 in about

10 seconds.

Yeah. I was like, what the fuck?

Cris: Well, in between there, there's a scene with those girls where like, I'm not getting in this. Yes, you fucking are getting in the fucking car.

Reegs: So anyway, she realizes that all the people in her life are moving on because Jim and Sarah have said that they're gonna go

Sidey: they can't afford to live.

there anymore,

Reegs: to live there anymore, Florida. They can't

afford to live there anymore. And, thingy's moving off to Princeton and all that stuff. So, and what he's really said to her that's hit home is that she's kind of been sat there waiting for her father to he's like, it's not gonna happen. And that was a sort of [00:53:00] wake up call to her.

'cause she put her life on hold. She was gonna go surfing to California and all visit all these

Sidey: Yeah. She never made it.

Reegs: and she never made it. And she's now gonna decide that that is what she wants to do, move on with her life. So she sells her,

Sidey: She, she accepts She, she contacts that guy from college and says, yeah,

actually I will sell the gaff.

Dan: Needlessly brings him into the equation because she ends up just selling to her friends anyway. For much cheaper than she would've asked. And she just ends up paying a fee to that guy for no reason.

Sidey: yeah. true. Well,

Cris: Well, he married his Spanish teacher, so I think he she, just

Dan: let's

let's

Reegs: he would say I'm Doug Khan. You remember me from school? I was, you know, in the football team, Nah, it was the head of. maths. Nah, I fucked the Spanish teacher. Oh, Doug. Like

Cris: she's Miss Kahan

Reegs: She's Miss

Kahan now. Yeah. And so then there's just mad and Percy left to kind of wrap up. She goes to find him at a Princeton mixer 'cause he's just been ignoring her.

Yeah. And so there's a kind of big [00:54:00] party for all the Princeton. she goes

Dan: and it, it ends up in a bit of a role reversal where he's driving off in the car and she is now pinned the bonnet of the car.

Sidey: Yeah.

Reegs: She also ends up on fire.

Sidey: They drive through a Barbecue.

Reegs: Yeah. it's some really bad CGI fire and the, only way to put that out is to drive the

Sidey: at a hundred miles an hour into sea. Yeah.

Reegs: And she's on the bonnet at this point. I dunno how he didn't kill her, but didn't. So, and then they sort of apologized to each other and you know, they're friends and

Sidey: Yeah,

She he's getting ready

to

go.

He's got his suitcases

he can't

probably

like you. Yeah.

Reegs: Yeah. It is

Sidey: around trying to, get, he's

got a a smaller bag on

top of two bigger suitcases and he just can't

maneuver them

round.

Yeah. No. And

his,

Reegs: And he's like, he wants to do it all himself.

Sidey: He is like, no, no, I gotta do it. And he just can't.

And then he

gets, eventually gets them round the right way, but he can't get through the

door. Yeah.

And then when he does get to the door, she's like, your Uber driver's here, and

she's gonna run him the four hour drive down the road [00:55:00] to Princeton. Yeah.

Reegs: And there's a nice little gag where we've met this ex-drug dog, Milo. And She introduces him as a boyfriend,

Sidey: Yeah. it's

Reegs: a

Dan: Anytime you say cocaine, it just absolutely goes.

Sidey: an old sniffer dog. Yeah.

Yeah.

Reegs: And so yeah, she's gonna drop him off at Princeton.

I mean, a purely platonic relationship at this point.

Sidey: They're gonna keep in touch and. Check in and make sure they're both doing all right and you know, just friendship.

Yeah. Yeah.

Dan: And it, it just, yeah, it, it ended quite nicely there for me. I thought it was quite a nice ending. In fact, I, I really enjoyed the movie.

There was some really great scenes. She's a great actress, actor, whatever.

Reegs: I didn't know she had much comedic timing. But she certainly does in this.

Sidey: I think she's

really funny when you see her get interviewed. I think she's just got, she's quite funny. and I, this might not have worked for me if it was anyone

else playing her character.

I

she was good.

I was like, watching go

this fucking stupid, like, you know, there's no way [00:56:00] you this would never happen. or

Reegs: it's like an eighties movie. Yeah. It's like got the premise

Sidey: porkies or something, you know, it's Like

brash sort of teen comedy, like sex comedy

but I ended up really liking it,

Dan: the, the different years, you know, because she is, more our age.

Sidey: got a lot of heat for the age difference between her and him.

Dan: But I think it's, is exactly. Those attitudes and you know, there's 15 years difference or whatever there is between them,

Sidey: people will always say, if you flipped it round and

you had the, the bloke was the elder one and it was a young girl, it'd be fucking weird.

Reegs: And it, and I think that's right, but that's not what this movie is in anyway. We have different expectations for, for whatever reason about what male sexuality is like versus what female we Gate keep other. so that's still there in this movie. 'cause it's still to be

Dan: I, I think, yeah, I think they can just laugh at each other in, in this situation. And it's not trying to say too much in and around that, it's just she's doing it for a transactional point of view. He's a, a shy kid the parents are totally on board [00:57:00] with it. So you get kind of permission through that around everybody that would need permission for it for that, you know, a sexual act to happen.

But in fact it's very.

It's

not a very sexual movie. It's just awkward all the time. And

Reegs: it's about people from different classes and generations like coming together to solve loneliness for each other.

Dan: and, and Exactly. that.

It's, It is, it's, it's solving much deeper issues than sex It's, is talking

Sidey: Is there anything deeper than that

Dan: there?

No, I don't think so, but I'm just trying to No,

Sidey: if you call your child Percy it's gonna be a nerd.

It's

gonna be like a loser

fucking do. We nerd

fact.

Dan: There you go. Would you say about, that Percy,

Reegs: if you're hard and you're a Percy, right in and challenge sidey to a fight.

Dan: but you're probably

Sidey: Did you

vibe with this

Chris?

Cris: Yes and no. I, [00:58:00] I, I, there was a few good parts. The, the nanny guy was quite like, oh, you the nanny. He is like,

Sidey: oh, yeah,

Cris: know, the was a man called, I dunno, Jody, Jody

Sidey: do you want?

Cris: yeah, and the guy, whatever. And there's a few, you know, and look, I, I've seen the, in the, I've seen the trailer, I think a, a while ago for this thing.

And I've seen the, the part where she's like, I'm 29. I'm, so, I've seen that before. So I kind of knew that that was one of the best parts of the film. I did like the, oh, it was my thighs and all that. So it's had a few really good parts where I laughed and everything else, the, the one that did it for me, and, and I kind of lost interest, which is fairly early in the film, is when she dressed all like that, that dress, and she goes to the animal shelter with these two fucking nerds and she's there.

And then. The, to make it even worse, in the Princeton Party thing with all these kids, she's a million miles hotter than anyone else in that, in the whole building. And, Ooh, whose mom is fuck off? I [00:59:00] can't, I can't understand that. But at the same time, it was quite funny. It's also one of them that it kind of, it's almost like a nostalgia comedy because basically this is American Pie.

Yeah. But made more politically with Uber drivers and apps in 2024. It's exactly the same thing. The cheerleader fucks the nerd. This time is not, it is like this hotter, older woman who gives it to people and then has commitment issues. And this kid's gonna be a man. Look, it's an easy watch. Kira enjoyed it.

So that's the

Sidey: bonus. Yeah. My Mrs. Enjoyed it.

Cris: It was good. It was good. And look, by far, by far, the best thing about this movie was Jennifer Lawrence. Yeah. If she wasn't in this film. Y they could have put anyone else. It would've been a total

Reegs: but It's a

weird film for her to pick. Right. Yeah.

Sidey: Yeah. I was think of that

Reegs: star

and It's like this raunchy

set. And she's known

for like Yeah, exactly. Oscar winner. And for but being a great.

Sidey: think it's been a while since she's had a hit.

Dan: I, I, I, I really liked him [01:00:00] in it as well though. I thought he was really good. The young, Yeah.

Reegs: He's

like absolutely brilliant. He is. He's, a very real, like 19-year-old and that voice is sensational.

and He can dance as well. 'cause

Sidey: Dear

Dan: Right. Okay. I, I've not seen him in anything else, but I really liked him in this. I thought he was he

Reegs: Bath. Feldman.

Dan: I, I thought he complimented her well and was

Sidey: Is that

Dan: her ying to her yang.

Sidey: one who was fat?

Who's not fat anymore, Moneyball

and other

Cris: Oh yes. Yeah. No,

Sidey: a

Feldman Feldman, The guy that I'm talking

Cris: He's from super bad

Reegs: Oh,

Jonah Hill.

Sidey: Yeah. Isn't he a Feldman? 'cause His sister's Beanie Feldman. I wonder, if, I wonder, I wonder, I wonder. Anyway

it made a few could, but not

a huge amount.

Reegs: I think this is way better than its schlocky premise. Implies. yeah. Strong recommend.

Sidey: strong. Yeah.

strong. Go

Dan: for it. Two out two.

Sidey: out two. I'm not having

that. [01:01:00] CGI boobs and

Reegs: It is, I'm afraid.

Sidey: Outro

things.

Dan: Outro.

Cris: Yeah.

Dan: Blobby.

Blobby.

Cris: be blessed

Sidey: Chris down next week. Yeah.

Cris: away.

Dan: Man. Down man. Down.

Cris: be, I think bringing the intellect. That's what he said. He's gonna bring some intellectual value to

Sidey: Can't

Dan: bring some wine, Peter.

Sidey: very believable.

Reegs: Oh, Just cheese. Just bring cheese. Peter.

Dan: where was cheese club. Remember He used to take

Sidey: because We ate all the, all of the cheeses. We went, we did the whole lot.

Dan: Went round the world.

Sidey: Should we get Pete to nominate then.

Reegs: Yeah. We could do

can't, we should

Sidey: we

do.

that?

Reegs: If he can do it in time,

Sidey: Sounds, we'll start bullying him immediately. Yeah. All that remains then is to say, society signing out.

Dan: Dan's gone

Reegs: Res is exiting the simulation.
