The SWAMP (00:00.206)
I have been weighed, measured, and found wanting to hear what you have to say about 2001, A Knight's Tale. This has left me wanting to do a lot of things to Heath Ledger. I'll say that. RIP, my king. In all that is respectful on his name, I cannot.

behave the way that I fully would intend to. If given unrestricted, if I... It's like, have you ever seen those videos from Janet Jackson's tour in the 90s where she like straps boys up to like a cross basically and literally grinds on their face? Right. That. Right. Well, yes. Not to start this episode literally under a minute and we're already getting so horny.

Oh, but it's like, how can you not? Cause that's what- That's the whole movie. That's That's the draw is that Heath Ledger is so charming and likable and they actually just parade him in and say, look at this pretty boy. Don't you believe that he's a prince? And everyone's like, oh yes, look at his golden hair and his beautiful smile. Oh, so pretty. Yes. And then they let him joust. These are the photos that it hits you with on Google. Like tell me, what else am I supposed to do?

What else am I supposed to do? And that's why this movie is perfect. Well, I like to ask you about that considering that they did make it right. Is he a natural blonde? I can't recall. Yeah. So I mean, he's got like sandy, sandy colored hair. Whatever you have to tell yourself. But he leans. He I would say his his license says blonde, you know. Yeah, certainly. He's blonde man. This is where.

you're criticizing me because I notably dislike long men. I wanna know how you, how do you reckon with this? Yeah, how do you cope? Thank you. Okay, well, the white dreads at the beginning were testing me. Of course. If I was still able to pierce through that and find it to be meeting my needs, it's really, it's It's dire. It's damn bad. Diva down.

The SWAMP (02:13.807)
down, but so obviously I do prefer him as a brunette, duh. But you know, the blonde we get here is still stunning because he pulls it off. I'm- He's hitting it with the fricking, the purple shampoo in this one, honestly. Right, he's making sure the highlights are popping. Yeah, he's out in the sun. But like, know, in my mind palace where I like, you know, where I go, he's in this role, but he has the dark hair from-

10 Things I Hate About You. That's like the... Oof, the curls, the big curls. And we have the content, so it doesn't take much for my little brain to just, know, reconnoiter a few rims, you know? Just make it a little bit. And then you can just, you know, play that shit back at 2 a.m. when you're trying to fall asleep, you know? It's nice. But yeah, I mean, of course, I think he looks beautiful in this movie. I mean, yeah. Nobody's ever looked better. I think that a good chunk of the men here

They did a solid job. Yeah. I would fuck Geoffrey Chaucer. I'd even fuck... I'd maybe, if I was down bad, who's the redhead? What's his name? Alan Tudyk. my God. His name was Watt in the story. That Garnier Fructis Honey Mist Auburn die that they put on that man. I could not believe it. Yeah, it was something lethal, but at least they didn't wig him.

And he was committing committing to the bit in a way that I had to admire. I want to find that man annoying, but I kind of liked him in this. Exactly. I mean, same thing with Geoffrey Chaucer and especially immediately showing him bare ass. His tiny ass. His tiny little ass. Paul Bettany, you need to get your tiny ass on to set because we're doing your opening sequence. OK, and we're rolling.

rolling on Paul Bettany's the world's smallest little tush. Did I love every second of it though? Yes. Well, he was serving. But yeah, Paul Bettany serves as Geoffrey Chaucer in this film. Had you seen this in the past? Yes, I saw this. I think I was in the middle of

The SWAMP (04:31.342)
coping with a breakup. I was really, yeah, really not there. It's actually a pretty good one for that though. It's a pretty uplifting movie. Yes and no. I don't know. I feel like I did not enjoy it as much. I just wasn't in a rom-com space probably. sure, sure. But I really liked it this watch and I felt a little more like I was actually watching it too. I probably was like, you know.

on my phone, maybe crying last time I watched it. Right, yeah, real, real. But no, I had a fucking blast. This is like, it gives me kids movie, honestly. This movie kind of strikes me as a children's movie, which is really fun and just easy on the brain and I'm chilling. No, I definitely feel You got the hot blacksmith. It falls into the crooks of like Ella Enchanted or like Princess Bride.

almost right where you can kind of deal with themes of like violence and sex and stuff but since it's like Shakespearean it's like well we're never really gonna cross that line so you could show this to kids you know yeah they are gonna joust but you you could show this to a child yeah they're gonna joust and then there's gonna be like a butt on screen twice and then I just beautiful people male ass as we know does not warrant any sort of rating increase you can show that for free

It's fine by me. Hey, I'm not mad at it. Listen, everyone knows that I think men need to be naked in movies more, so. Oh my God, Henry and I just watched, we just started the new season of Righteous Gemstones. I know it's like on episode nine or 10 or whatever in real time, but we gave it a beat so that we wouldn't have to like wait each week so we could just like binge a bunch of it. Smart. But Walton Goggins showed full dong and there's no way it was real. There's no way it was real. Cause the ball sack looked empty, so.

Unless Walton Goggins has really gotten something going on. I haven't fact-checked this yet, but I was like, come on. He doesn't seem like... False balls on the false prosthetic dick? Or are we learning about the character by knowing that his balls are, you know, nary to be seen? Interesting. Maybe I wasn't reading enough into it. Probably not. No, but because that's the thing. think if Walton Goggins... Not that I know him personally, but he strikes me as the man that...

The SWAMP (06:55.336)
if he had the chance to show his real cock and balls on TV, he would. So I'm going to guess it was some character device. Sure. But who's to say? I haven't watched The Righteous Jumstone, so. It's pretty good. This movie is essentially about the Canterbury Tales, but not really.

So Joffrey Chaucer is a man who lived, do you know about any of this? I know about Chaucer and the Canterbury Tales, but I didn't really, I mean, that was one that I remember I fucking tuned out in school. Yeah. Because it's a pain in the ass, it's what, Middle English? Yes. some like that? The Sorry, my brain was not doing that. The reason it's really important is because it's the first piece of fiction.

that they found written in English because everyone in high society spoke and read in either Latin or French. poor, poor common people spoke English. I didn't know that. that's how it was in the, you know, in the middle ages. And so the Canterbury Tales were one of the first pieces of, you know, fiction written in Old English. And I'm sure, you know, they've discovered earlier ones now. But the big deal was that it was somewhat popular as in like

you know, like a hundred copies existed, which is like nothing, but it's absurd because this was predating the printing press. if everyone wanted a copy of the Canterbury Tales, you had to get a smunk to scribe it for you. Like that's wild. the fact that were multiple copies, I think it's probably pretty long. I don't know. I only had to study it in the abstract. actually had to read that shit in school.

But it basically gave us a very important foundational understanding of Old English because, you know, using the threads of time to track language progress or whatever, you know, big, big whoop. But it's basically also, you know, literally somewhat important because it's about common people. It's about a group of people traveling from an inn to a city and each of them has to tell two stories on the way. it's all about like, you know, the normal everyday stories that

The SWAMP (09:08.866)
people have to tell and that's what the Canterbury Tales is. Yes. I do remember that. And this, this is not from the Canterbury Tales. There is one called the Knight's Tale because it's like the guy who's the knight and the stories he has to tell on the journey or whatever. But it's not.

this, like it's totally, totally different than this. The intention of this film by putting Chaucer in as a character rather than just as like the abstract, like, this is based on shit that Chaucer wrote, like actually putting him in there that they wanted to infer that like, this is where he really was getting the inspiration for what would be the Canterbury Tales. That's like the through line here, but then it's very anachronistic and it's a historical representation because we've got like, you know,

queen needle drops and like very period inaccurate costumes and shit. She's having hair gel in her hair that they could not. Her makeup was ahead of its time, obviously for whatever medieval, whatever we're in. But also for what year did this come out? 2004? 2001. 2001. Her makeup was ahead of its time for 2001. This is the shit that the girlies would, I mean, obviously I think we're past it now, but I think like,

The soft smokey eye you mean? The soft smokey eye, the glittery line work that are just cute little accessories almost. And a sharp and powerful brow as well. And bronzer. lot of shimmery bronzers. Oh my god, everything's sparkled. Yeah, Heath Ledger's white ass teeth. So this is the mid-14th century is when this movie takes place.

So around the year 1370 something is what we would speculate if we're going off of like when Jeffrey Chaucer actually lived. But again, very anachronistic and the liberal takes of history in this thing. don't think they're clearly not trying to present us with huge accuracy. That's like made abundantly clear from the very beginning. it does try to maintain, it we will rock you.

The SWAMP (11:15.38)
Right. Like it's giving rent fair, you know, it's giving King Richards. Yes. my God. Yeah. Shout out to anyone who lives in Massachusetts and goes to King Richards fair. No, but it's closing down. It's closed now forever because the owners are hacks. The owners are fucking hacks. going to kill myself. Are you serious? better one in Connecticut, people say. There's like a different one that's going to...

really pop off this next season. I'll give you all the renfair tea. The biggest renfair in New England just got basically this past year. They got sacked. There's really not too much more than that. That they were just shitty people and they weren't paying their workers and all of their workers were like, hey, you need to pay us, we're not doing this anymore. And they were like, okay. And then, so now it's just over and they have to sell that land obviously, cause they have like debts or whatever. That's fucking crazy. I grew up going there.

Wow. There are other ones now in the state that are popping off because all the people who went to that one obviously are looking for new ones. the girls love chainmail. Fair enough. I am the girls. It's me. It is you. Because I live for some medieval historical shit. I think it's so fun. Did you grow up on this movie? I had seen it definitely when I was younger and I also remember having to watch it in like school. Really?

Yeah, think like middle or early high school, you know, a little older for sure. But I definitely seen this like on cable TV and then I had to watch it in school for sure. And it's definitely, you know, I wouldn't say it's one of my favorites, but like I like this movie a whole lot. But I'm also, again, very biased to Heath Ledger Stan in the house. Well, it's not like there's a whole lot to it, honestly.

No, so if you don't know, you haven't seen a Knight's Tale, basically Heath Ledger is William Thatcher. He's poor, he is like a squire or whatever, or not even, just like a servant person to this guy who's jousting and he...

The SWAMP (13:21.678)
dies, like all the light in his life has been snuffed by shite or something they say, it's like really just like they put a kaput on him. He's like, I'm going to put his clothes on and disguises him so to finish the jousting match so that we can win so that we can eat tonight boys. And he does that shit and wins and he gets his helmet rattled around and they said, who are you? And he said, you don't have to worry about it. And he wins, they get the gold and they're like, hell yeah.

but he's like, wait, we could take And we can go our separate ways or this could be a multi-level marketing opportunity for us. You guys let me keep all the gold and you can just hang out with me while I continue to go do professional sports. And they're like, bro, that sounds awful. We are so hungry. And he's like, wait, think about it. We're going to do a really cool training montage in the woods.

and it's gonna really work. And they say, okay, we have nothing better to do. And it was at this point where they were talking about eating and the things that they wanna eat. And somebody says something- I was really curious by this, something with peppermint cream. Peppermint cream and then he says like eel, something with eel. And I know like eel pies are very much a thing. There's like a place in Britain that still does like traditional like eel clatters or something like that. And first of all- quite something.

I the only context I've thought of people eating eel is like sushi. Sushi, yep. So I was like, what the fuck are we doing eating hot eel? This is new. you this up, This is new to me. So I looked into it, but then Henry crosses through while I'm watching and he goes, oh, wanna hear something crazy? Scientists didn't know how eels reproduced until 2023. Oh yeah, yep, yep.

What? Can you tell me how actually? Cause I don't, I never got the update. Do we know how? My most basic gleaning from this conversation I had with him was it's really similar to salmon and the way that they have a one specific location where they drop the eggs and then, you know, go and they fertilize the eggs. So it's the way that, you know, fish do it, but it's only one spot in the whole fucking world where it happens. So they had to find the eel spot.

The SWAMP (15:35.57)
The sex the eel sex spot. The eel, yeah, spawning point, basically. And all of them start there, and then, you know, they start basically sort of like life of a tadpole. Every eel comes from the same spot. I'll link an article below if you want to read about this. I'm have to. That's crazy. I'm not gonna pull it up in real time, because this is, again, just, Henry was like, hey, did you know? And I was like, what the fuck are you talking about, eels?

only come from one spot. I just don't think we should be eating those things hot. But there's so many kinds of eels. There's only five species and it's this one species that does it this way, but it's the predominant species. But all the other species do it a way that's kind of like this, but not as intense. It seemed to me, because we were talking about the eels that go to, that are up in New England. The British eels. It's those eels. Anyways, that's when science...

It's been Science Corner by Contact from my husband, Henry. I'm sorry, but an eel pie sounds fucking disgusting. I have no clue what's going on there. Beans on toast? What the fuck is wrong with you? I don't know, ma'am. The whole tomatoes is what gets me too. The whole cherry tomatoes. Oh, in the full English? the breakfast? What are we doing here?

Girl, black pudding, get real. Get fucking, you know what that is, right? Yeah, it's like intestines, right? It's blood sausage. Well, I'm not really against eating a meat based on like what part of the animal it's from. I feel like that's, know, we can have the blood. I think that's fine. fact that it's black.

It's a lot. It's the presentation. Yeah. Yeah, girls. Maybe that's what it is. We do something else with this. We need to work on presentation a lot here because don't get me wrong, I can get down with like a cottage pie, a shepherd's pie, that sort of thing, which is definitely, my suggestion- Why eels? Why are we adding eels to the pies? Like I get it. I get it. Scarcity and things, but like, come on, girls. We can move on. We can move on. It is trendy to eat bugs now, so.

The SWAMP (17:48.046)
Consider that. know. We're getting into territory where it's like we're eating like... The protein blocks from Snowpiercer? Yeah, my guy. Yes, I'm thinking of Cricket Flour or some shit like that. Yeah, it's getting really dystopian out here, folks, especially with the Blue Origin trip that just happened. Did we talk about that? We talked about this last week. Katy Perry didn't die. Right, and now she's apologizing.

or something. I think we should, yeah, this is the thing that she should like really. feel bad. I mean, they're obviously test running sending celebrities to space so that they know it's chill, like when it's time to fucking flee. Easily, yeah, of course, yeah. Which these end times are not much unlike the end of the Tudor era, which is when his movie takes place. Yes. actually, for like a hot second, something did flash before my eyes.

where it's like this medieval version of like the rich people get to sit up and wear their ducked out shit and eat the pies and drink the meat and watch while these athletes that have basically been bred for the purpose of smashing into each other on horses for entertainment. I'm like, what if we're not far off from, cause like all the MMA.

All the MMA boys and like the MAGA-ism of MMA. And then also like reality competition television shows with like pushing people to their physical extremes. I'm like, how far are we from like a modern day like gladiator situation where we're like straight up putting people in fighting ranks and like, but is it just gonna be video games this time around? Like are we just digitizing that I guess? Yeah, we'll just digitize it. I don't know, we'll see how it goes.

That's what RFK is about to do. He's gonna round up all the mentally ill people and put us in pits. Put us in the fighting pits. Oh my God.

The SWAMP (19:51.918)
designated by weight class so that like we'll have a chance but like they can't put me up against like they're gonna make us do the Hunger Games for real yeah yeah at the fucking loony farms dude my fuck but William Fletcher wants to change his stars and he's a poor boy from Cheapside and his dad sends him away as we learn in a flashback with like a traveler and he's like travel the world

and see where life takes you and it'll probably be better than what we've got going on here. And he seems to be like eight when this happens. Something like just really very small. very cutie little actor baby. Yeah, very good young Keith. Yeah. We can see how that hair is kind of starting to dread a little bit. yeah. Which is where we get our end result. Yeah. That shit, he never stood a chance, man. But after our training montage, he does cut his hair. He freshens up. He gets a nice little.

Wolf Cut, it's really working for me. And he has two friends with him. Law is Alan Tudyk and then Rowland, did you clock? Robert Baratheon? Did you clock King Robert fucking Baratheon? I didn't clock him, once I pulled up IMDB halfway through, was like, I could not believe it. I didn't clock him, but I did clock Sir.

There's someone, the Tyrell, who played what's his name, the minister or whatever. Like in the beginning where he rides the horse in to the church and he's like, yo, what the fuck are you doing? Get your horse out of here. Damn. it's like, yeah, not like, not one of the younger Tyrells. He's like the father. Oh, okay. Well, because I did think that our girl Jocelyn was serving Big Marjorie energy.

She's like a little flirtatious, a little coy. For sure. And she kind of has the upper hand socially, sort of speaking. And she is basically the main love interest. so William Thatcher bumps into Geoffrey Chaucer, who says, I can forge you some documents so that it seems like you are of a lineage of nobility, that you can enter this tournament and we'll just see how it goes. And it turns out I also have a gambling debt that

The SWAMP (22:09.92)
you know, you're going to help me pay off by way of winning. so they sort of come to this little team that they're rounding up and he gets in, does the little competition, you know, he's doing all the different ones, the sword fighting and the jousting. Kicked ass at the sword fighting. Yeah. He's like, he's pretty fired all of them, but then he learns that like the real prestige is in the joust. And he's like, well, that's the one I got to win then. Cause I'm trying to be fucking legit.

and they're like, just do what you feel. And he's like, no, I need to do the one, like I need to be the fucking best. Yeah, he gets real aggro real quick. He specifically really wants to diss on Count Admar, who is his sort of rival jouster, guess, the only one who ever really for Drosselan. Right, and has basically slipped that he's already got it arranged that the two of them are going to be paired off together.

He's like, no the fuck you aren't, because I made the eyes at her one time, so we're basically in love now. And he sort of, yeah, he pursues her. He follows her. He's begging to know information about her. She's like, can match outfits at the dance party. But then it seems like they really start to get to know each other and to like each other. And he's sort of like, what if she doesn't like the real me? And everyone's like, well.

Yeah, probably because she is like a noble woman, right? She seems like pretty fucking of high status and you're yeah, William, get your head out of You're a phony and a fake. You're aiming too high, sir. She's like, you're gonna lose if you really fuck with me. You'll take it in your pride. Like you, you know, will throw the next match and that will be your proof. And even though it's really hard, cause he's a really, you know,

He wants to compete. He's got that dog in him. He's a very proud man at this point. He also is like, he's just gunning for what's his name, Atmar. Right. So he doesn't even really care about these other jousting masters as much. And so he keeps throwing them and she's like, my God, he really does love me. And that's when it's sort of like, okay, it's kind of chill to drop the veil now. Like I'm, you she visits him in his tent and she's like, I hear. tucked up and sad.

The SWAMP (24:29.646)
And she's like, I hear your friends calling you William. Like, I get that you probably have this other whole situation going on. Like, honestly, I don't really care because you're like, and I feel, you know, the vibes are vibing and he's like, great. And so then basically she is like the big prize at the end.

And then it gets, and know, the rug pulled out from underneath him that his identity, cause Count Audemar follows him into the village and is like, we know you're not noble. Your paperwork is shit. You need to get out of here. And he's like, I still want to compete. And then, they put him in the stocks and the black Prince of Wales who he had previously, no one would go against him because he was the Prince and they didn't want to hurt the Prince. then,

Heath Ledger's like, I'll fucking do it. I don't pussy Sign me up, bitch. And then he thought that that was so chill. He's like, I respect that you did that, man. So he rolls up right in the nick of time. Of course. he's like, hey, I fuck with you heavy. And I think you've got great qualities of a knight. whether he actually meant this or just was saying it because he can say whatever the fuck he wants, he's like, we traced your lineage. And it turns out you are royalty. took that.

that as bullshit. Yes, yes, I took that as bullshit. Especially he was like a noble, a noble line. like, I'm like, didn't drop any names, very vague. Yeah, no, he's just out there riffing. But who gives a fuck, he's the prince. And he's like, you can get your ass in there and finish out this fourth quarter, okay? And he gets to go and compete as himself this time.

as Sir William instead of Sir Ulrich. And he goes and he wins and it's great. And the whole time they're playing, like the boys are back in town. It's fucking, it's- Snappy. Yeah, these cats were cooking. For I have the pride, the privilege, nay, the pleasure of introducing this podcast guest segment host. Give it up for Jen everyone.

The SWAMP (26:35.672)
That's Jen is here. I would give Jen my token. Your flower. she was jousting, yeah. Jen would be a very noble knight. Thank you so much. They'd her like Jen the true or something. Yes, yes. Jen the pushover lately. I think you guys, this is another movie you could have done for a period piece or ensemble cast. This cast was-

Amazing. Right? just thinking back into other previous themes we've done like soundtracks like Banger fucking soundtrack month. I remember we did once. Yeah. It's a goodie for sure. lot of Venn diagrammism with this one. Because of that, the Banger soundtrack, this chocolate vanilla is the theme of group dances in tribute to Golden Years where they do the dance in the dance hall. Hell yes.

Group, dance number, chocolate or vanilla? Yes. Group is anything more than one person, by the way. Oh, sure. This is perfect because I wanted to talk to Dara about what some of her favorite dance scenes are. we'll get into it. I'm sure all of them are going to get mentioned here because I picked some pretty basic-ass ones as my favorites. Oh, same. All right. So chocolate or vanilla? Chocolate. Vanilla. Chocolate.

Okay, the dogs in the street in Oliver during Why Should I Worry? Or Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the park during You Make My Dreams Come True for 500 Days of Summer. that's, mean, those are like two wild things to put against each other. But I'm an Oliver and company stan. That piece of children's media is often slept on and of the like forgotten VHS tapes that just didn't quite make it to like the

popular like zeitgeist, I don't know. So I feel like I have to represent for Billy Joel and why should I worry? Yep, can't say I ever saw Oliver. I'm gonna go. It's a watch. Yeah, it's a goodie. I'm gonna go Joseph Gordon-Levitt because I do think that is just about the one scene in that movie that is like, I like him. Correct, yeah. Yeah, and although I love a hybrid,

The SWAMP (29:02.754)
where the real life person is dancing with animated creatures. I am still gonna pick, Why Should I Worry? Next one is two high school musicals, Get Your Head in the Game or We're All in This Together. Both iconic. I feel like Get Your Head in the Game, that basketball choreography, the little blow up basketball you got with your high school musical DVD and the dance along instructional video so that you could nail that shit at the sleepover, iconic.

Yeah, I'll go get your head in the game as well. I will also go get your head in the game. Next one is LaviBoham when they're dancing on the tables in Rent or Glee. We got the beat when they're dancing on the cafeteria tables. I guess I'll just, I'll pick Rent, because I assume that whatever they're doing, Glee is like a reference to something, which is fun. Like, that's the point of Glee, but...

I feel like I'll pick the original, I guess. Yeah, I think I have to go with you on that because I can't even recall the We Got the Beat number from Glee. Yeah, I'll go with Glee because I always do. It's when they were trying to recruit people to be members of Glee. purple-peel-o-um- Like one, episode two or something? feel like season two. two, episode one, yeah. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Okay, okay.

Not as naming episodes like that. Well, now I'm trying to think, no offense to now I'm trying to think what's the most iconic like glee dance number that you could have picked that's like far more recognizable. Bohemian Rhapsody, if you ask me. But that wasn't even New Directions. When they Heads Will Roll on the football field. That's what I would say. That's one my favorites. picked that one. Brittany, Brittany. Sniping. True. Santana, well for me it was the Santana, Brittany song in that episode, so.

Next one is Cell Block Tango from Chicago or Jailhouse Rock from Jailhouse Rock. Cell Block Tango from Chicago. Yeah, Cell Block Tango, absolutely. Yeah, 100%. Or any number in Chicago. Yeah, yes, yes. Pick any of them. That end one is one that I'm like, have never been that girl when I was little that I was like, I wanted to learn the dances. I never learned the Lady Gaga dances, things like that. I would die.

The SWAMP (31:27.406)
to like one day with my hypothetical girlfriend, we sit down and we learn the final duet. The choreo. Next one is born to hand jive, Grease, or Jaiho at the train station at the end of Slumdog Millionaire. Fuck! That was on my top five list that I prepared for Emily as Jaiho at the end of Slumdog Millionaire. That is one of the most iconic and important dance sequences in a movie. Why did they do it?

I don't need to know. You're proving its validity just by its existence. It's amazing. I'm gonna have to go grease on this one. And you know what? That's fair, but... I think that's probably my favorite number from the whole, or at least dance sequence from the entire movie. I think it's so fun. I love to see the boys getting raunchy and the teachers screaming and kicking them off the dance floor. I think it's hysterical.

And it's also so impressive, honestly. You know what, you both make excellent points. Emily sold me on Born to Hingeive, You know what? I'll take my L and Dev Patel, OK? I get him as well. Listen, this might be one that we pull online, because that is a very contentious answer. Yeah, tough. Next one is, oh, these are singles, but end of movies. Napoleon Dynamite doing canned heat.

at the end of Napoleon Dynamite or Jennifer Beals doing her flash dance audition at the end of flash dance. I have got to go with Napoleon Dynamite as that one was also on my top five list of all-timer dance sequences. I can't say. I've seen either of these, honestly. You know in flash dance where she pulls the rope and the water comes down, right? That's not right. And out of lesbian solidarity with

L Word star Jennifer Bales, I'm gonna go flash dance. Am I wrong about that? That was in the club. That was in the beginning of the movie. The end is when she's auditioning to be a ballerina and she just dances by herself in the gym. but there's no water? There is water earlier in the movie. No, but she doesn't use, she doesn't utilize that technique in her audition. That is correct. She does the break dance spin on her back though.

The SWAMP (33:49.23)
Right. Sick. Flashdance was a big deal when I was grown up. So I will go with Flashdance. I can imagine her hair was phenomenal in that movie. Yeah, she was phenomenal in that movie. Next one is 13 going on 30 when Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo do Thriller or Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo dancing together in Poor Things. Fuck, Jen. Oh, damn. This is really hard.

Oh, guess I'm going to pick Poor Things because I think I just like that movie better. that dance scene from 13 Going on 30 is so iconic. And I feel like that movie for the longest time was my staple of like, can't say I don't like rom-coms because I do like that one. Yeah. Like I always wrote off the genre, but I was like, but I always fucked with 13 Going on 30. So I just watched it. Poor Things. That's I feel like the best. They made all the trailers that of them dancing. And I felt like that was like

the perfect thing to grab the attention or thing to highlight that didn't actually give much of the plot away, but definitely gave you tonally, this is where we're gonna be at. So Yeah, no, I just watched 13 Going on 30 for the first time a couple of months ago, and I will say, I found that scene very endearing, but like you said, Dara, every single time that clip of the trailer scrolled by on my TikTok.

I watched the whole fucking thing. I think it was a mesmerizing dance sequence. I'll go Poor Things as well. Yeah, I agree. It was hysterical, but I'm going to go with Thriller. I forgot to say chocolate, vanilla or strawberry. Chocolate. I'm going to strawberry today considering that it's beautiful Earth Day and sunny. Yeah, I think I'm going to go strawberry also. In Singing in the Rain, when the three of them step over the couch.

in Sound of Music, So Long Farewell, or in Stick It when they're dancing in the mall in their prom dresses. How could I forget? Stick It. I'm thinking Stick It. Shit Jen. I feel like that's blasphemous, to me, that's the winner. Yeah, think I have to go with Stick It even though I think that, what is it, the Good Morning scene in Singing in the Rain is incredible.

The SWAMP (36:17.326)
I've never seen that one. All I know is Tom Holland. I know the Tom Holland bit. Of course, of course. That's my cultural reference point. Just not good. It's not a good look for me. What about you, Jen? Let's go stick it for the sweep. Why not? Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Do you have any other favorites that you didn't? my gosh. It's so funny because I was...

Sometimes when I'm thinking of them, I'm why can't I think of any good ones? Cause I know there are so, so many. Yeah. I'm definitely going to like leave out a lot, but obviously Dirty Dancing is one of my favorite movies. I don't think, I still don't think we've ever covered it, which I need to get us on that. But the Mickey and Sylvia scene in particular kills me every time. All of Billy Elliot, basically that movie I was in.

peers watching for the first time. I saw it. I have not seen it again. I only know that Tom Holland was in it. That's my only cultural touch point. He was in stage musical, think. Yeah, yeah, he was in the movie. No, he just did that. I was gonna say that. the West End. Little Jamie Bell. But also the Eximachina scene is also iconic. Yeah. But I know I'm missing 600 others, so.

I know I love a big group dancing too. what is it? The big one in West Side Story. America? Yes, yes, yes. The one, the Jets versus the Sharks. one's big one too. When you're spinning around and we're doing tap dance. Also just Mike faced out dancing the shit out of Ansel Elgort in particular.

And I was thinking recently, Fiyero dancing in Wicked, I thought was awesome this year. He did kill that, I will say. Jen got me on Jaiho and Napoleon Dynamite. But my other, when you texted me and you said, like, I'm going to ask you best dance, this the first thing, I was like, OK, well, Pulp Fiction. Like, I that's too easy, but that's correct. Pulp Fiction. And then personally, really Little Miss Sunshine. I love that. course.

The SWAMP (38:34.274)
My favorite, feel like that's kind of in the same vein as Napoleon Dynamite 2, like the big comedic punch dance number. So good, and then the time warp, I feel is too, I would be remiss if I did not mention the group dance number. Yeah, yeah, that is a really good one. and also, fuck, we can't stop the beat. shit, olive hairspray. Olive hairspray, also olive hairspray. Lay all your love on me.

true. See, feel like musicals is just like a different thing, though. It's like almost you can't even compare them. But that's what we do here. I will shout out the Anna Karenina dance sequence, because I do particularly love that one. Well, Jen, thank you for being here. We love you. We'll see you next week. Bye. Bye.

I would just really love to jump into the fact of how gay this movie is. Right. This movie is ferociously homoerotic. I feel like we've lost the culture. We've lost the sauce of like your team of boys, of your hype men, right? should all be a little gay. It should be a little gay. Like at least, like I think the sweet spot is between five to 20 % of the relationship feels pretty gay.

Yeah, like a neurotic tension. That's gonna propel you to greatness. Yeah, our redhead and William Chaucer are constantly bickering and I'm just waiting for one to mount the other. Right, yeah, like flirty. You can do flirty bickering with your friends. Uh-huh, but what is it? Admar and Heath Ledger literally fuming over each other this entire time. There's one scene in particular.

that AdMAR's on the battlefield and he gets like all the papers back confirming that William has been winning tournaments left and right and he is furious. Yeah, and then the other one, what was it? What was the other guy's name, Roland? Yeah. Roland's giving me gay sitting in the corner weaving his best friend a fucking tunic. A pretty light forest green tunic.

The SWAMP (40:43.116)
with gold embroidery and I'm like, okay, gay boy. Yeah, just like they, and also everyone is just in love with Heath Ledger. Like everyone he speaks to is like, okay, well I'm gonna do anything you fucking say now. Cause it's just like, how can you not? Like all he has to do is smile and it's like staring into the fucking sun. But Chaucer immediately is like, I'm hitching myself to this wagon, okay honey? Like honey, I do PR and.

this is some great material I can work with, all right? And he rolls up into the city and he says, we're doing grassroots campaigning. We're getting the people involved. And the whole thing ends up being that he's sort of as a knight of the people because Chaucer gets up there and is like, hey, everyone, not just the rich people, but all you in the back, we see you too. Which is, the people get really riled up and into, you know.

being included, which is the whole, his lineage isn't really noble. He is a peasant. Anyone should be able to, you know, prove themselves or whatever. Yeah. Can I say something maybe controversial? Sure. I don't give a shit for Jocelyn in this movie. yeah. I think her character is really underdeveloped. I think she does more than a lot of throwaway romantic leads. I think she's more than just an incredibly hot woman. She does have a few,

sassy little character moments where I'm like, oh, you're bringing something to the table. But we never get, we never see her out of the perspective of just her being his love interest. Yeah, she does hit early feminism, like screaming, I don't know, they're having like a big argument in the church or something like that. And she has this one really good line where a bishop comes to shush them. And she's like, do not silence me without silencing him as well, or something like that. And I said,

Okay, girl, eat. But other than that, like, I don't know. was, yeah, the whole scene of like her being like, throw your fights for me and you watch this man get pummeled for like five minutes straight. I'm like, girl, to a point. How are you gonna ride him later? I understood her though, because I also am like, wait, I kind of want you to a little bit. Like, wait, I kind of want you down in the dumps.

The SWAMP (43:05.198)
Interesting. feel like I understood her for that one. it was, yeah, it does get to a point. this is a boy thing because I think seeing boys humiliated is more fine. I want there to be dirt and blood on the visage, know? Visibly scuffed is ideal. Yeah. Going out there and saying, fight for me, girl, get real. Cranking his shoulder into a medieval stretching device to...

sock that shit back in. was like, Jocelyn, you really let him take that many hits? That's what I'm saying. I was not pleased with her at that. We need to keep Baby Boy in tip-top condition. was, listen, I think it's, you can do it a little bit. She let him take too much. Could you imagine? I mean, just the sheer actual physical act of jousting is fucking insane. And I didn't know anything about it about like,

how it actually works and it is just like the pummels and hitting the armor. Cause I thought the intention was always to knock the guy off, but like to stick them, you get a point too. And all of that business. It's the same way that football is like barbaric of course, but like, you know, but that shit will kill you.

That shit will literally kill you. forget like people were like back then were so like did not give a shit as long as they were entertained. Wild, buck wild. And they like used it as military training in between wars and that's all anyone cared about was wars. So if a war wasn't actively going on, you're like, well, what are we gonna do with all this war equipment we have? It's all we fucking have. They're like, well, war parties.

And basically this was like the result, you know, historically of like what we do to fill our time when we're not actively in battle. Cause yeah, again, if all of your energy and resources are constantly being put towards things like blacksmithing and fucking weapons mastering, like why wouldn't you just send that? You're in the off season, that's all. But it was dangerous and they did die, you know.

The SWAMP (45:17.1)
a lot. It's literally sword fighting. It's yeah. Well, my my question is in the future, do you think Heath Ledger goes on to like he's obviously a knight at the end of this movie? Does he go on to like battle and war? Yeah. Or is he just a pretty boy? Who's to say? That's the real test. If you ask me, I do think like this this is the lame boy shit. Like I do think that what was his name? The other one? What's his name?

Admar, Admar is out there on the battlefield and I do respect him for that. Sure, sure. Well, I mean, I don't blame them if there is no, I wouldn't seek war out, you No, but should the calling come? Right, yeah. Are you joining the draft? I mean, What's going on? I think that's kind of part of the deal when you get knighted is that you also have to, that's like being a military officer because you serve the crown, you're of the crown. So if they call you to arms, I'm sure the knights get called.

Right? But yeah, who's to say what happens to Heath Ledger? Maybe he's just doing dance numbers and that would be okay with me. Yeah. Should we get into the nitty gritty of that dance number because that shit was so hot. Right. Yeah. my God. It's very paralleling it exactly with in the new Wicked movie, right? When everyone at the Oz Dust ball like puts Cynthia Erivo in the middle and she's like doing her little awkward dance moves.

And this is the turning point where Galinda comes around and is like, you guys are making fun of her, but these awkward movements can actually be quite beautiful and elegant if done by a person who you think is beautiful and elegant. And so we get this with Heath Ledger that, know, Count Admar is trying to out him. He's like, well, show us a dance from where you're from, Liechtenstein. And he's like, well, he just learned one.

So we're gonna do that one, but we're gonna put a little stank on it, okay? And they said, okay, what's the stank? And he's just kind of throwing some hands up, then, yeah, Miss Jocelyn comes to his aid and is like, this could be sexy. We can get down with this. And then they're all just like jiving around to David Bowie's golden years and obsessed. I've never, I don't, okay. Out of everything I've seen Heath Ledger in, this might be the sexiest moment. Right.

The SWAMP (47:37.174)
Him dancing, basically singing a lot. Like there are times where he's like mouthing the words to golden years. He's shaking his little hips. He's swaying. Drop to my knees, dog. Yeah, actually physically painful to watch. He did one of those like Gene Kelly little flips. was like. I guess the director, they told them they're like, we don't want these like modern pin drops.

And it's like, well, why would anyone have ever told them that? Cause that's like fucking stupid. But they were like, we want it to be like a score. And the director's like, you mean like a score with like violins and cellos? And they were like, yeah. And they were like, okay, well that's also 300 years out of date. So why does it matter if I'm just another 300 years out of date? He's like, if you're not gonna make me, we're not doing clear historical accuracy here. If the movie is not-

If the music, we're not doing Lutz from the 1300s, so then who cares, right? And it's, know, of course about capturing the feeling. And I think that that's sort of this movie's saving grace is the modernisms. Cause I don't think this did particularly well, but I think it's like remembered quite fondly by, you know, millennials as like a cult classic.

I think every... It's very 2001. was very 2000s. I think every needle drop is very indicative of like, yeah, the time that it was released. And I thought that was beautiful. Yeah, but that dance number is really something else. Like, I could just watch that one back over and over. Yeah, there's... Yeah. Oh my god. It's the scene where him and...

him and what's her fucking name, Jocelyn, doing this move with their arms up and walking through the crowd. And I'm like, my God. That's my husband. The tunic too, boys. Stop. Why no one out here in a tunic? His handcrafted tunic by his homie. Which looked fire when she walks up and she's like, you look great. I was like, yeah, shouts out Roland. It's a Roland original. A Roland original. Yeah, we love it.

The SWAMP (49:48.222)
I was obsessed with her hair in every scene. Just like the extra lengths that they were going to to give her the most 2000 era hairstyles was just like chef's kiss. loved it. It looked something straight out of like an old Vogue magazine or something. If we're on the topic though of costuming as well, please. That jacket that they put Paul Bettany in for

Act two and three as Chaucer, it was like a leather. The brown leather with the black fur trim and with these little slits that came all the way up. That shit was so fucking cunty. I was like looking online for sewing patterns, trying to find like a match for that jacket because. No, let's get.

We need high- We d**k was irresistible. Let's get high slits going again. Because I was just at the Lucy Dacus concert in Boston with about every other lesbian in the tri-state area. what was her name? Katie Gavin from Moona opened for her and she had these almost like...

Think of the Pedro Pascal, like, dress pant shorts, or, what's his name, Lee Pace in those shorts that he wore to, like, the Met a couple of years ago. Sure. With the high socks. It was those. But then slits all the way up the sides. Ooh. It was so crazy, cunty, dude. Amazing. Slits. Slits are in. You heard it here first, folks. Trend setting on the swamp. I will really be trying to get myself a accurate chaucer.

replication costume for my next Ren Faire exhibit that I attend. I think that's a great idea. I think you should get a mink. No, that shit's nothing real. That shit's so expensive. Fake. Fake. Some fake. Yeah, I don't know. I went to fucking Joanne's and they claim that they're liquidating and going out of business. They're selling the shelves, bitch. And even then, 40 % off, that's the best you can give me. Are you serious?

The SWAMP (51:53.966)
I was like, I was going there because I was like fun. Like trims and like fun feathers and stuff. was like, they'll be so cheap. No, they weren't even. I was like, what, so these are just going to go to a landfill? I'm fucking pissed. Yep. I also to a Costco for the first time. I'd never been to a Costco before. you ever been Oh yeah, you were telling me this about, no, you were telling me about this last week or so when we were recording and I'm actively jealous. Sort of an out of body experience. $1.50 for a hot dog and a drink though. Not bad.

I can't complain there. I grew up going to BJ's, which I don't know. No, I think that's just a very local thing. But it's like a Sam's Club, know, a local bulk foods. would love to like going to a Costco is, you know, on my bucket list, unfortunately.

My America bucket list. I've got the hookup for the, do you have to have the membership card? True, I myself am not a holder, but what really resonated with me is that you were saying that you weren't entirely interested by Jocelyn as she was feeling very like early 2000s feminism. And I have to say the same thing about the character Kate, the blacksmith.

Like, her whole, like, thing was like, yeah, and she's also a woman. She's a boy's girl. She's one of the boys. She's a widow. So she's allowed to still practice her dead husband's business, which is the only way that women were allowed to be black sex in the times. they weren't even allowed to make armor. They were only allowed to make horseshoes. So yeah, Heath Ledger finds her and she's willing.

to do armor, pro bono armor for him because she's looking to invent the Nike symbol. She's like, my tradesman signature Nike swish on your armor, that really got me. But her whole thing, yeah, was, they're like, are you a blacksmith or a woman? And she's like, sometimes I'm both. But I did, I liked a few of her character moments because she was very cool and very hot. So I did, you know,

The SWAMP (54:03.438)
I enjoyed what little we did get of her, but I felt the same thing with Jocelyn, that it's just like we never really got enough screen time with her to like learn enough about her. Really. Which it's almost like, I just wish they kind of cut Kate at that point. And which I mean, I do think personally, this movie could still lose 30 minutes, if you ask me. Right, right. Two hours and 14, nah, for this, for this. It could be 19.

Yeah, it could be 90. least 100. But I will give them credit where credit is due. I love that cunty little hawk that the squire was holding and he had his little eye covers on. Loved that accessory. Yup. And then speaking of eye covers, the blind dad. was my favorite. I honestly really enjoyed his character and that backstory that we got.

Right, we got more of the three minutes from the dad than we did for the main female characters, like the women, are supposedly his love interest. Kate, I actually was really glad that they didn't fuck around and try to, you know, that Kate is secretly so in love with him. yeah. Or even a side romance with Kate. I was glad we didn't really get into that. she's all business, bitch. Yeah, I felt really like that would have been super unnecessary.

But yeah, the blind dad coming in at the end and he said, oh my God, I'm about to rip your heart out to shreds. He said, I know that voice. I those feet traveled you back home to this very day. Yes, bring it here son. That gave me goosebumps, dog. Yeah, so I will say, I really enjoyed that. So I mean, if I'm gonna fuck Mary or kill someone, I might marry his father, honestly. So I feel like we don't have three, because are the three main ones like what? William, Roland and what?

Watt or are we not counting Chaucer? like let's just cut Roland and Watt and let's do Heath Ledger, Chaucer and Jocelyn. But I don't give a shit about her though is the thing. say we do the four boys. Yeah. I want to fight Watt because I think he wants to get it out of his system.

The SWAMP (56:22.03)
I'm gonna marry Roland, actually. I'm gonna... God. God. Well, I'm gonna have to fuck Heath Ledger, obviously. And then I guess I have to kill Chaucer, but I don't want to kill Chaucer. I'd rather kill Watt, honestly. I'll kill Watt and fight Chaucer. Okay. Chaucer would be fun to fight. Because he'll be giving it to verbally as well.

Absolutely, that'll be fun. Yeah, but I think marrying Roland feels really right for me. I feel like I wanna marry Chaucer, because there's a cut scene from this movie where they need to go find him and they find Chaucer and he's getting laid and they're like, whoa. And he's like, no, don't worry, this is just my wife. And then she gets up and she's really cool. And she's like, you must be...

Roland Watt and Sir O'Rick, I've heard all about you. And like, she's just like the cool wife. So I would like to be Chaucer's cool wife. Fair enough. Giving them some material for the stories, you know, perhaps. I'm obviously then just going to fuck Heath Ledger. Yep. No one has ever looked more fuckable on film. Save for like Julia Roberts. Till the paint peels off the walls. my God.

Yeah, same for Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, honestly. like real. Nothing but respect on your grave, sir. We do. Thank you for your service. Yeah, we stand. We for the each other in this podcast. In this house. And then I'll fight Watt, because I think I could take him, because Roland's kind of a beefy guy, so I'm going to have to just kill him. Dang. Yeah, rough. And then from the whole movie, ooh.

Ooh. You still fuck Heath Ledger. I still fuck Heath. Yeah, I still fuck Heath Ledger. think I still maybe... too aggro for me to marry. Right. And just too, he's a football player. He's like, he's way too into sports. He's a football player. Yeah. he's too... Yeah, he loves the game. He's never gonna love the game, me more than he loves the game. Okay. And I feel like, I'll still marry Chaucer. I don't really see any better options there. And then I'll kill Count Athmar because he's a fuck.

The SWAMP (58:38.574)
I'm gonna marry the black prince or whatever his name is. Yeah, he's the future king of England. So you're be the queen of England. He was really hot. I would absolutely be the queen of England in this scenario. Yeah, I had like reverse iPhone face like he looked like I was like, I believe that they got the guy they got the real guy. Yeah, I'm gonna fuck Heath Ledger. I'm gonna marry him.

and I'm gonna kill the debt collectors that were trying to come for Chaucer. Right, when he's like, I will eviscerate you in fiction. I'll write about your sits. was like, He said, I was naked for a day. You'll be naked forever. Hell yeah, girlfriend. And then what are you gonna bring to the function? You're having a little night's tale party. I'm keeping it real basic. Mead. Same. Have you ever had mead? Maybe once. It's pretty solid. So fucking fire.

I feel like some the shit they sell at Ren Faires is knockoff or water it down meat. Real meat is pretty fucking expensive. If you go to the liquor store and you find the meat section. honey wine, It's honey wine, yeah. But you can get ginger or raspberry, the flavors. The flavors they've got on meat are fucking nice. That sounds really lovely. It's really sugary though, so it will give you a headache and a hangover.

So that's sort of the downside, especially it's like something you want to drink copious amounts of. Cause again, with the sugar, like once you're drunk, you're like, I want 10 more of these. But then also we're keeping it easy. was thinking maybe like rotisserie chicken or something, but then I'm like, this movie just gives fall to me again, cause I'm thinking about the run fair and thinking about being outside and the crisp. What are you about to say here? An apple fritter.

Like a warm apple fritter donut. Apple fritter and some meat sounds so good. Holy shit. around with my titties out at the Ren fair. I'm gonna watch you guys fake, fake chow. Somebody's gonna try to sell me some resin dice for $40 and I'm gonna be like, great to be here. That's the thing I do hate about.

The SWAMP (01:00:51.298)
like some things like that is like, once you get in, the only other thing you can do is just spend more money. It's like, so we can walk around and look at things and then choose to not buy them. Like, okay. Yeah. They're like, maybe have a handful of neat performances and stuff, but it's mostly about spending money on knickknacks. I'm gonna go ahead here. I think this is a good duo, because I would say that you have a nice like,

ale or a beer. This is a beer movie. This is a boys beer movie for me. It's the same thing as watching football. You want to have a beer. I'd say like a Stella or an Amstel or something like that. And then a chicken pot pie. Yeah. And yeah, anything to pie. Cause we're not doing ale pie, but we We're not doing ale pie, but I can get done with the chicken pot pie. Yeah. And that also feels very, you know, this movie is all about the lower class people rising up.

to put our to participate in league sports. Which speaking of sports, I'm going to go ahead and jump to my follow up, which is challengers. work. OK, because you're like, wait, I want there to be something gay happening with me, Heath Ledger, and something else and someone else.

maybe Chaucer. So now I'm just reimagining. Exactly. Some tensions. Yeah. The homoerotic tension set to a sports backdrop. I mean, it's the natural progression, if you ask me. I felt like Ella Enchanted was a good one after this. If I wanted just like another like mid medieval period piece, like, but still very anachronistic and fun and punchy.

I also thought of The Little Hours is another like, period accurate, like also not really at all, but just like so fucking funny. But then I feel like I just settled on Shrek because to me, does have Shrek vibes. has huge Shrek vibes. To me, this movie is like the why would we ever need a live action Shrek? have this movie. So basically, you know, the scene with Bad Reputation, right? And all the beer is spilling and I'm like, that's what this movie is. They literally have that exact same thing happen. And he's

The SWAMP (01:03:07.406)
and what song fucking plays. Not The Boys Are Back in Town, not We Will Rock You. Oh, Taking Care of Business. Yeah. care of business. when he's sword fighting. Sword fighting. And just crushing the competition. Yeah. That happened to Shrek. So. Do these both come out in 2001? Yeah. Icons. Interesting. Icons only. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, Heath Ledger and Shrek. Out of 10, I'm gonna give it an eight. I think this movie's solid.

I'm gonna give it a six. Understandable. I did enjoy it. It's one that I would throw on for a background movie. Yeah, yeah, for sure. And just like, you know, the Tumblr gift sets of Heath Ledger just never looking happier. Yeah, big smile. What more could you want? Once again, rest in peace to an icon and a legend. Thank you for...

listening to the swamp. I saw Sinners last night. my God, how was it? Yeah. So word to those at home, definitely make the effort to go see it in IMAX because I didn't do that. I saw it at a really shitty theater with a not good screen and I liked the movie and I thought it was good, but I've been seeing so much shit on my Twitter of people explaining the importance of, you know, this movie was shot for IMAX and like aspect ratio changes and just like.

craziest shit that I totally think I missed out on for not having seen it in the optimal format. I legit would go see it again, think, in IMAX to get that experience because of how much I've seen on just how much thought was put into that part of it. I think is still fucking cool.

But yeah, was really good. It's definitely worth the hype. I do think Michael B. Jordan has iPhone face though. I was like, I do not believe you are from any olden time. Sir, your face is too dewy. You're polished. He's polished. But he was, he did a good job and no spoilers really, but he was a twin of himself, which is my favorite thing in any movie. Love, add it to the list. Ryan Coogler really said, that's my muse. And I can't think of anything better than a Michael B. Jordan than two Michael B. Jordans.

The SWAMP (01:05:18.83)
So he made that happen. Yeah, it was good. You definitely should go see it in the theater and catch it while you still can. Because I this is one that they're hopefully really going to continue the theatrical run of it because of how much people are talking about the need to see this in a theater and on the correct display. Sure. So I hope they keep it running for a while because to just dump this onto video on demand seems like such a waste. shame. Yeah.

Yeah, no, I'll have to try and fit that into my schedule. Right now, I'm, right after this, I'm gonna go buy my tickets for the re-release of Revenge of the Sith. Yes, I have my tickets as well. I'm going with a whole big group of friends, a bunch of us who had seen episode two when that, you know, had its 20 year, whatever, couple years ago. And it's so fun to go see all these movies re-released in the theater. It's my favorite shit.

Yeah, no, just saw Princess Mononoke, apparently, at Coolidge Corner. That's nice. Yeah, it was fucking sick. It was the first Ghibli movie I'd ever seen on a big screen, so it was do the Ghibli festival at most like every year. You can go see, I went and saw Kiki's Celebrity Services last year, and they're just such beautiful. They're so beautiful. You could put any of them just up on a big screen. It's just like, that's the way.

Yeah, it was one of the ones too where I'm like, okay, thank fucking God I saw this because like just the sound design too comes through obviously better than anything when you're at the theater. yeah. Get your asses out to the movies. to try to movie this week, girls. Try to distract yourself from whatever's going on in your personal life or the greater life that we're all currently being subjected to.
