Age of Adaline: A Humorous Dive into Staying Forever Young
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ever wondered how a freak accident could keep someone forever young? Join us as we unravel the peculiar charm of "The Age of Adaline," where Blake Lively's character is stuck at the age of 29 thanks to a bizarre lightning strike. Our wives put together a poll for the best Valentine's Day films, and this one made the cut—an irresistible choice for some lighthearted banter and a few laughs about the elusive secret to eternal youth. We dive into the film’s intriguing mix of magic and pseudo-science, all while poking fun at its audacious plot twists and the not-so-subtle FBI hunt that follows Adaline.
Our conversation doesn’t shy away from the odd romance budding amidst eternal youth and life’s fleeting moments. Picture a New Year's Eve party where the sparks fly awkwardly, featuring a suitor who pulls out all the stops—even risking bodily harm in an elevator just to chat! From awkward elevator encounters to grand romantic gestures, we share our thoughts on Adaline's reluctance to let love in and the poignant moment when her beloved dog passes, leaving her teetering on the edge of vulnerability. Expect a humorous take on love, loss, and the audacity of never aging.
Finally, it wouldn’t be our show without some whimsical banter about ridiculous movie plot points and the absurdity of life’s little quirks. Imagine a comedy plot spun from a hit-and-run accident leading to chaos, or the hilarity of a Jeep Cherokee chase that defies logic. We wrap up the episode with a playful nod to the idea of koozie-handcuff combos and "ET" themed handcuffs, sprinkled with our honest ratings of the film. With gratitude for our listeners and a promise of more laughter, Tom, Hayden, and Mitch are ready to take you on this whimsical ride through romance, eternal life, and more.
Age of Adeline
Speaker 1Record time.
Speaker 2Record time.
Speaker 1I wasn't ready, Get ready. You are now Mitch.
Speaker 2Nobody expects to entertain this podcast, not even us Wasting daylight. Hey Hi, welcome to Entertain this. It's a podcast about movies, tv shows and Video games. Thank you for the enthusiasm, hayden.
Speaker 1Books.
Speaker 2Yes, books, books. Back in my day, podcasts was books. I'm Tom.
Speaker 1With me. I have hey dude, Is that enthusiastic enough for you? Yes, hey dad, Drink more Red.
Speaker 2Bull. All right, have a pulse. I forgot, we changed it and we have Mitch.
Speaker 4Hey, how you doing, how you doing.
Speaker 2And on today's episode we are doing our dive into, I guess, a Valentine's Day theme, as this episode comes out way past Valentine's Day. But we're reviewing the age of Adeline. But before we get into talking about it, social media Mitchell.
Speaker 4Well, you can go to entertainthispodcastcom, which will take you to our Facebook group and page. You also can go to X and Instagram at entertainthis underscore.
Speaker 1You could be the first person in history to be injured on social media.
Speaker 4No, no, another group of people I listen to have done that. He jumped and fell. He's like I hurt my knee. He's like all you did was shift in your chair. He goes yeah, I know oh okay, well, I understand that.
Speaker 1We're not that bad on this show we could be.
Speaker 2I mean, I'm not going to lie, my neck hurts from sleeping.
Speaker 1I have sneezed really hard and you thought you blew a butt muscle.
Speaker 2I did.
Speaker 1I didn't sit on my side.
Speaker 2Just wrecked a glute.
Speaker 4We're at the age where we get our injured sleeping sound.
Speaker 2Yes, we're all in our 30s now on this show. Speaking of age, we're talking about the Age of Adaline.
Speaker 1This is my favorite movie.
Speaker 2No, it's not. You didn't even freaking watch it. I'm not doing it with them.
Speaker 4No, hang on 20 minutes earlier.
Speaker 2We need to curse on this show no.
Speaker 4But we're not. I took it seriously.
Speaker 1I'm a trendsetter. It's still the golden rule, Dude weaseled out of it.
Speaker 2What'd you do with it? Get the hot sauce. What'd you do with it? No, get the hot sauce.
Speaker 1Did out of. I paid for that. I saw it right here. Where are you hiding it? I didn't hide it.
Speaker 2Here I'll find it.
Speaker 4Keep talking about my favorite movie that you didn't watch. Well, look, look, look, look. I planned a whole intro to read out here. Says welcome to the age of Adeline, where time stands still and aging is just an annoying suggestion. Meet Adeline Bowman, the woman who's managed to dodge age like it's a tax collector. Thanks to a freak accident, she's stuck at the ripe old age of 29 forever. Because who wouldn't want to relive their late 20s forever?
Speaker 2And ever, and ever.
Speaker 4Forever. Forget about wisdom and maturity. She's all about the endless cycle of questionable fashion choices and dating guys who are still figuring out their post-college lives. And let's not overlook the joy of keeping secrets, because nothing screams normal like lying through your teeth about your age while trying to explain why your favorite music is still from the 1920s. Adeline's Life is one big comedy of errors, where the biggest challenge isn't finding love, it's convincing your date that you're not just a time traveler with a very elaborate backstory. So buckle up for a hilariously absurd ride through romance and the eternal quest for a decent anti-aging cream.
Speaker 2Hayden, I wish I could tell you. I don't know. You threw it away.
Speaker 4I didn't throw it away. I don't know where it went.
Speaker 2I don't touch it. It's not in the pile of Star Wars action figures.
Speaker 4This is Tom's elaborate ruse to get out of it.
Speaker 2Snort this? I'm not snorting crushed red pepper flakes. No, get away from me. Ow Alright, the age of Adeline. Thank you for that interruption. Hayden, 55 on the tomato meter, but the popcorn meter gives it a 67%. Do the critics actually know? Does anybody Hayden just still looking around like it's going to appear? I'm not drinking hand sanitizer, you maniac.
Speaker 2Just a little alcohol, all right, just give me real alcohol. The AJL is a 2015 American romantic fantasy film directed by Lee Tolan Krieger, written by J Mills Goodloe and Salvador Paskowitz, starring Blake Lively as the title character. Adeline Mike uh. Mikiel Huseman.
Speaker 4Yeah, pronounce that name. Pronounce the name.
Speaker 2Huseman.
Speaker 4I don't know, I can't see it.
Speaker 2I know you can't see it because you don't know how to read. Oh, I thirst to breathe. Dario Naharis from Game of Thrones the second one, not the other guy that was in it for one episode and then got recast and just nobody addressed it.
Speaker 1That's the dude's name that you can't pronounce, yeah.
Speaker 2Harrison Ford, kathy Baker, amanda Crew and Ellen Burstyn, narrated by Hugh Ross, not Hugh Mann. Hugh Mann, that's a name I can trust.
Speaker 1Let's see $25 million budget, box office, $65.7 million. It's pretty successful.
Speaker 2I guess Received two nominations at the 42nd Saturn Awards, one for Best Fantasy Film and one for Blake Lively for Best Actress. Did not win.
Speaker 1Oh, she didn't win the Saturn Award.
Speaker 2Nope, couldn't win a Saturn, Couldn't win a Sati Did she get a Neptune Award. Nope, couldn't win a Saturn, Couldn't win a Sati. Did she get a Neptune Award? No, but she did get the Uranus Award. So this movie the reason we had to watch it is we came up with the idea of doing a poll of like. We asked our wives to pick a Valentine's Day movie.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 2And Mitch put it on social media this was Rachel's, my wife's, uh contribution. She goes you should watch age adeline. She goes, I like it. And I was like okay, and I texted mitch and then it was on the poll and it won. I don't know how many people actually voted in this poll your watch.
Speaker 1Your wife didn't watch it, right? No, my wife didn't watch it either. You didn't watch it either. Well, I didn't watch it either, but I was just thinking like, do you think it's because one of the wives won and the other two were like I'm not going to watch it now, or do you think it was like no, my wife just didn't have time. She liked the movie.
Speaker 4Oh, she did. Yeah, she just doesn't have time, so she has seen it before. That's what she tells me. Yeah, she's seen it before.
Speaker 1She didn't watch it this time, I think my wife just genuinely I'm excited about watching it.
Speaker 2She didn't watch it at all.
Speaker 1She didn't watch it.
Speaker 2Your kids, Did your dog, did your cat watch it? Anybody? Did anybody in the Brandon household?
Speaker 1I just put it to you being on by the window, whoever, was walking by. Bucky the squirrel Lives outside by the well With a comment box.
Speaker 4So we all got this Valentine's movie and none of us watched it with our wives.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 4Happy Valentine's. Yeah, that's us.
Speaker 1Look, been married for 16 years. We're lucky to be in the same house on Valentine's Day.
Speaker 4I've only been married for 12. How long have you been married, Tom?
Speaker 2Was it February 28th? I've been married. It was February 23rd today Punching his Casio my calculator.
Speaker 3Watch Such a dork. You're a dork Screw, you Is that bad, getting even tighter with your stick wrists.
Speaker 2I don't like it moving around.
Speaker 4Would you hurry up and tell us how many days?
Speaker 2We've been married since January 18th so however many days. That is from now Close enough.
Speaker 1I've slept longer than that. I'm crap bigger than you.
Speaker 2Shut up, Anyway the movie.
Speaker 4Well, first we got a couple of reviews.
Speaker 2Oh right.
Speaker 4This one is by Roshannon81205. Two out of ten. It's visually pretty, emotionally vapid and intellectually void. She says I was curious about this film because of its premise A woman, Adeline, who seems to be immortal. I shall state the good parts first. Most of the visual direction is quite pretty and the soundtrack is rather lovely in places. The cast are very good too, given the material they had to work with. However, the script and story fall flat on their faces with astounding force. Adeline initially is put across as a bright but not exceptional woman leading a happy life. The rest of the film swings between portraying her as being a genius, then to being a usually irrational, doe-eyed fool.
Speaker 1Doe-eyed.
Speaker 4Oh, let's see.
Speaker 2I guess there's worse things to be called, but it's like it falls flat on his face hard. It's like immediately tripping, and then all of a sudden gravity intensifies by five. He just goes he bounced.
Speaker 4Then we get a PhD. Underscore travel, a 10 out of 10. Romantic fantasy at its best.
Speaker 2Does he have a PhD and travel?
Speaker 4Every generation needs a romantic love story that has an elemental of magical fantasy and beautiful lead. In the 80s there was Somewhere in Time, and now there is Age of Adaline, about a lovely woman in San Francisco who, after an accident, stops aging at 29. The story is well written, enjoyable, logical and a complete and clear, without being confusing. It's hard to read.
Speaker 4They have commas well, they have a PhD mention you don't it's much better to see Blake Lively cast in the role of a romantic lead instead of the druggy or criminal role that has been in on the big screen from the Town and Savages.
Speaker 1Oh yeah.
Speaker 4This movie makes use of her special quality and loveliness that sets her apart from other actresses to full effect. Her love interest, usman, while not the most good-looking actor out there he has a kind face Bam. They look right together. Harrison Ford is well-cast as an older professor and father of the boyfriend. This is a role to which he is suited and doesn't look too old to handle like in some of his recent movies.
Speaker 1You belong in a museum. Agent Vanilline.
Speaker 4Let's see Along with me.
Speaker 2I want my family back.
Speaker 4We got one more.
Speaker 2Get off my plane.
Speaker 4One out of ten, Lacking Any Sense by Vlad P6.
Speaker 2Vlad.
Speaker 4No, it's well, I guess Vlad P6, then yeah, Vlad.
Speaker 1You idiot. I too can R-E-D, it's all one word.
Speaker 2What do you mean? Because that's a name there's not going to be a space, vlad P6.
Speaker 4Six is not part of his name. Yeah, m-itch, yeah. Yeah, m-itch Look you were messed up reading somebody's name too. Shut up.
Speaker 1At least mine was an actual name.
Speaker 4It's not just something mixed and you may feel sometimes with the characters watching it and the acting is good, but what really made me disliking this movie is an unbelievable behavior in the ending of the story which lacks any sense. This is a strongly spoiler, so you may stop reading here if you want to watch the whole movie, but I really cannot comprehend how the father and the son can agree to share the bed with the same girl. It really disturbed me. Oh, I was looking forward to that part, mitch, the whole situation in the script. Imagine you suddenly know that your father slept with your girl, loved her and wanted to marry her, but she escaped from him. And now you shared the bed with her escaped you're getting.
Speaker 2You're getting your dad's like sloppy seconds, whilst the father still has very strong feelings for her.
Speaker 4Disgusting, it's simply damaging.
Speaker 1What's Bicentennial man when Robin Williams' robot character sleeps with every generation of the same woman? I know that.
Speaker 4Yeah.
Speaker 1I mean, it's essentially the same thing. It's just gross because it's a girl.
Speaker 4now, there was one very Karen response.
Speaker 1How many do you got Mitch, Just the last one.
Speaker 4Dragone 001. Is it?
Speaker 2dragon.
Speaker 4D-R-O-G-O-N 001.
Speaker 4Very uncomfortable to watch. My husband adores the movie. I, on the other hand, was so creeped out by Ellis' overly persistent behavior regarding Adeline when he tries to get to know her in the beginning that I couldn't watch any longer. His borderline stalker behavior is anything but romantic. It's creepy and disturbing and so off-putting that it made me extremely uncomfortable. I really love romance flicks, but this is not a romance. It made my skin crawl. It's the glorification of an obsessed stalker and a man who can't take no for an answer. Adeline's behavior regarding her persistent suitor is completely unrealistic. This movie is definitely a hard pass for me.
Speaker 1This lady's husband is like all right, you get older, but she stays the same.
Speaker 2He's the same age. This is a win-win.
Speaker 1I can hear the chest slaps. You know the wife like pow yeah.
Speaker 4Ouch Dang. Anyways, go Now continue.
Speaker 2All right, scene one. The movie opens in 1908, san Francisco, where the narrator tells us about Adeline Bowman is born on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day, don't miss it, you might know. 12.01 pm or am. She gets married in 1929 to an engineer working on the Golden Gate Bridge, having a daughter in 1932. Her husband is killed in 1937 in an accident. 10 months later she's in a car accident and now no longer ages.
Speaker 1So let me pick up from here, because what I remember is where she comes out of the car accident and discovers that she has super speed after being struck by the speed force and she goes all around the world at high rates of speeds, sometimes doing that thing where you can move so fast you can turn back time and phase through walls and defeats a guy named dark side I think the movie he watched was probably better probably that's where I fell asleep.
Speaker 1Things kind of went off the rails, yeah it was like a fever dream.
Speaker 2So, yes you, the narration I liked and then hated, like the justification that they give you, is like they try to impose actual science like this is why she doesn't age the immersion in the frigid water caused adeline's body to go into an anoxic reflex, instantly stopping her breathing and slowing her heartbeat.
Speaker 3Within two minutes, adeline Bowman's core temperature had dropped to 87 degrees. Her heart stopped beating. At 8.55, a bolt of lightning struck the vehicle, discharging half a billion volts of electricity and producing 60,000 amperes of current Its. Effect was threefold. 60,000 amperes of current Its. Effect was threefold. First, the charge defibrillated Adeline Bowman's heart. Second, she was jolted out of her anoxic state, causing her to draw her first breath in two minutes. Third, based on von Lehmann's principle of electron compression in deoxyribonucleic acid, which will be discovered in the year 2035. Adeline Bowman will henceforth be immune to the ravages of time. She will never age another day.
Speaker 2Like this can really happen.
Speaker 1So something about like her heart rate slowed Because, like she was in the water, her like core temperature dropped to like this can really happen. So something about like her heart rate slowed.
Speaker 2Because, like she was in the water, her like core temperature dropped to like this amount, exactly 82 degrees. She was dead for like two minutes, yeah. And then the car got struck by lightning but because it's like wet outside but it had to be it was like three times the amount of amps.
Speaker 1It had to be, yeah, yeah, it had to be 500,000 volts of lightning at 600,000 ampoules, or something like that and you're like, wouldn't she just explode?
Speaker 4It's just like bop. What kills me, though, is, to begin with, they try to make it out like it'd be magical, and then they try to throw all the science in, because they're like oh, it snowed for the first time in the foothills of the mountains, sonora County, or whatever they said it was, so it can be magical. And they're like no, here's your unproven science that's going to describe science.
Speaker 1You know why Benjamin Button worked? Because they didn't explain it.
Speaker 2Yeah, they're just like he was born old and he got.
Speaker 1That's his goofiness that works, just go with it.
Speaker 4For some reason tracking and almost dying. She's alive.
Speaker 1If you try and sell me on your weird little scientific plot hole, I'd rather you just like she was born that way. She just can't die, she's an immortal, just go with it.
Speaker 4Well, we're still doing this podcast in 2035. We need to review this and go hey that was still not discovered, liar.
Speaker 1What is that like? 10 more years, 10 more years, we'll be around 10 more years Following that she can no longer age.
Speaker 2she is hunted down by the Catholic Church because they think she's a witch.
Speaker 1Oh wait, that's a different movie. I was like, wow, hayden's like all right, they're like kick your eye here and there.
Speaker 2Like man, we should have watched that. I mean it's just a quick beginning. The narration, I think, just kind of ruins it off the bat for me.
Speaker 4Because it went on too long. It was too descriptive of what's going on.
Speaker 2The sciences were ruined. Yeah, Because now I'm like well, that's not, there's no way that would actually happen. It's like you took me out.
Speaker 1I suspended disbelief for this and then you ruined it and brought me back and I'm like all right, yeah, no, the guy even sounds like he's narrating a documentary the circle of life continues.
Speaker 2Yeah, like we all understand, you know, but anyways, In 1953, she's pulled over and the cops are dubious about her age Because she'd technically be 45 years old, even though she looks like she's 29. And the cop confiscates her license. Later that day the FBI tried to abduct her. She escapes and goes on the run.
Speaker 1How does she escape?
Speaker 2She somehow, like these two FBI guys, just show up and like, man, we're with the FBI, we need to ask you some questions. Like we're going to run some tests. Like they're just telling her her, we're going to test you and you're probably going to die and we're going to dissect you.
Speaker 4They didn't say all that it's implied.
Speaker 1They are the federal body inspectors.
Speaker 2Federal boob inspectors for guys in college. They pull up to an airport and there's a plane. The FBI agents get out of the car. They're talking to them. They leave her completely unattended in the vehicle. She's not handcuffed, though she's not handcuffed, nothing Back in the 20s.
Speaker 4you just dressed in Christmas the inside car.
Speaker 2Like the door, it doesn't have inside handles. Why she didn't just jump over into the front seat and go up one of the passenger doors, don't know True. So she like, pulls down the back seat and manages to get in the trunk and pop the trunk.
Speaker 1It's a really elaborate way, yeah, like knocking down a wall right next to a door and locked.
Speaker 4But it was less conspicuous, though they might have seen the door open At the trunk they couldn't see it. Well then, get in the car and drive off, did they?
Speaker 1leave the keys in there. I don't know the lights were on.
Speaker 2Yeah, the lights were on Because they were showing them standing in front with the light on.
Speaker 1She's just been Look at that.
Speaker 4Look, we're trying to make logic out of a movie about this girl that lives hundreds of years.
Speaker 2Here lives like 100-something years. I think she's like 109 by the time of the story, I still think she was struck by the speed force.
Speaker 1I don't think she found her, oh definitely struck by the speed force. It would make more sense.
Speaker 2But it's like she's with her daughter, who's like now, like they look like they're like sisters with like the age difference. And then she, they're like walking to like a hotel and they see somebody who knew her when, like back in the day, and she's like you haven't aged like at all, and she's like, yeah, it's this new cream from paris, it's just like, and she's like pressuring her like I'd be like lady, like f off, yeah, like I said hi she's like goodbye, like seriously, you look the exact same.
Speaker 4They're like yeah, okay, bye, okay bye.
Speaker 2As they walk out the door have you ever read Lord of the Rings? It's the same concept, Bilbo. You have an age today. Bilbo Baggins the Bilbo button.
Speaker 1That's my favorite button.
Speaker 2So after this, I don't remember what the other one was too. Don't do it. After this, adeline goes home and she, like, packs all of her bags, and now she's on the run and like in hiding, changing her identity. So we opened in 2015 after decades of her being on the run and changing her identity. Every 10 years she meets Ellis Jones.
Speaker 4But you got to think back. Then it wouldn't be that hard to change your ID.
Speaker 2No, it was just paper documents Up until modern days. It wasn't until like the late 70s, like driver's licenses in New York, didn't have your photo on it.
Speaker 4Yeah.
Speaker 2Really.
Speaker 1Yeah, what were the people just going off of Goodwill? Yeah, Pretty much.
Speaker 4You got like crayon-scrawled cardboard that says your name on it, there was less people that would be mischievous and conniving towards you back then.
Speaker 1Yeah, but wasn't there a lot of serial killings and murders and stuff?
Speaker 4That's besides the point.
Speaker 1We're not getting undocumented.
Speaker 2Yes, and probably still do.
Speaker 1Not as bad, but yeah.
Speaker 2It was so bad. My dad, he was a sidebar. When my dad was a cop in New York City he issued an arrest warrant for a guy. But he issued an arrest warrant for a guy but he issued like 30 of them because it was all different names that the guy had used all the times he'd been arrested and the dude's attorney's like Detective. So I was like you really.
Speaker 2He's like yeah, he's like your client gave us those names. He's like starting in like 1971 to now. It's just like all these fake names and it's like a recurring gag on Hill Street street blues this one dude they keep arresting like what's your name? And he's like, uh, jones quentin glass. And he's like all right, and then, like the next episode, he's like walter.
Unlikely Love Story Unfolds
Speaker 2it's just different every time, like he ends up getting like killed in the show and like he actually tells the cop his real name and then dies it was bill smith anyway in 2015, after decades on the run and changing her identity every 10 years, adeline meets ellis jones and this and discovers his father is a lover from the past you skipped a whole bunch of movie there, from meeting him to get into the uh well, not much happens well, they go on a date.
Speaker 4He meets her at the party. Well, that's why I?
Speaker 2this is just like a exposition of like they meet. We can talk about those scenes at length, and then we move on to the rest.
Speaker 4That's like 30, 40 minutes of the movie.
Speaker 2So, yeah, there's plenty to talk about. She meets him at a New Year's Eve party and he's leaving. Or she's leaving and the elevator door is about to close and he risks losing his hand. To stop it, because it was like not enough room for the lasers to be like oh, movement, uh-huh and he's like ah, and what?
Speaker 4uh, what time period was this supposed to be in?
Speaker 2this is in the present, this is in 2015. Okay, the for them and when the movie came out.
Speaker 4Yeah, okay, I couldn't remember if it was like 90s or if it was present that was the, the 2015s, the 20 teens gotcha so they meet in the elevator.
Speaker 2He's trying to chat her up and they have no chemistry.
Speaker 4Because she's like shooting down everything he does. Yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, like relentlessly, and like she leaves and goes home after she was like hanging out with her blind friend who we see who plays the piano.
Speaker 4Well, the blind friend can't judge her on her age, the way she looks. Yeah, because yeah, oh it's such a curse to stay young forever the horror Well like they're sitting there and the blind lady's obviously older but, they're sitting there and she's like I don't know how.
Speaker 3They always hit on you, even the young ones.
Speaker 4She's like I don't know.
Speaker 1She can't see her. It's like she, she's in a room with a blind person because she's concerned about how young she looks.
Speaker 2Wild Stupid Wild.
Speaker 4Woman must have wrote this movie.
Speaker 2Yeah, probably. So she stands up, this Alice guy gets in her cab and he like grabs the cab and like asks her something. And I'm just like all right, bro, you are putting on like I'm going to like take advantage of you.
Speaker 4No, he let her in the cab. He putting on like I'm going to like take advantage of you vibes. No, he didn't like jump in there, I'm for one of them. I'm like you know. He went to Lynx to find out who her name was and where she worked so he could try and meet her again. He's a rich guy that donated a bunch of books. He didn't make her go out.
Speaker 1Did he cyber stalk her?
Speaker 3No.
Speaker 4Maybe he recognized her and went because she's like she works at a library. Of course she does. She likes old books.
Speaker 2He's on the board of commissioners for, or trustees or something.
Speaker 4Something like that For the library he donates like 50,000 books or something to him. He's some rich guy.
Speaker 2But he basically uses his leverage to get a date out of her.
Speaker 4Yeah, he said he won't donate the books unless he goes on the date and donate the books specifically to her. Yeah.
Speaker 2And she's like no, and he goes all right, cool, he's like no books.
Speaker 4And she's like fine, fine, I'll go out with this roughly handsome, extremely rich man God.
Speaker 2The inconvenience of it all, the inconvenience.
Speaker 1Well, that's her problem. She just doesn't want to love again, or?
Speaker 4something Exactly, yeah, and then you find out later, yeah.
Speaker 2So they go out or she meets him at his apartment. He makes dinner and it's all fancy, he's got a cool apartment.
Speaker 4Yeah, he looks like a freaking professional chef.
Speaker 2Yeah, he's going there's jazz playing. He's got the wine, cool apartment with the wood and the brick and the lights, and then he's like, are you ready? And he's like this is a special dish and he pulls off and it's like chili dogs.
Speaker 4Which was not what he was cooking. He was chopping up peppers and all sorts of stuff.
Speaker 2Yeah, whatever it is. So they obviously have a great first date because they wake up in bed together. Yeah, the next morning.
Speaker 1She's just playing hard to get for about 15 minutes.
Speaker 4They're laying down on this couch watching out the window at these other rooms I can't remember if they were doing aerobics or if they were doing dancing.
Speaker 2They were doing dancing stuff.
Speaker 4They're just watching them through the window.
Speaker 2Then they start making out and they wake up in bed the next morning. It's like they should have did the side cut where all the people who were dancing were watching them fool around. And then at the end like one of them just goes yeah, so after that he runs into her again and he has flowers for her, and then because he shows up where she lives or tries to, because her dog dies and she yeah, and they told him so she comes home her dog is sick.
Speaker 2She takes the dog to the vet. The vet's like alright, you know, gotta put the dog down why didn't she strike it with lightning?
Speaker 4she just tied it to a pole and opened out the window. It'll work, I promise.
Speaker 2Just fur, just goes everywhere, like in Time Bandits, where he blows up the dog he's like. That's pretty much what happens in Time Bandits. He's like Benson Blasts him, so she's obviously distraught about the death of the dog. He's calling a lot and it's like he didn't do like the wait two days or something, or wait three days and call or whatever the Before we leave the dog, though they act like this is like a thing that only she would experience because she's so old.
Speaker 4We've all had a dog that's died.
Speaker 1It's sad yes, but she only allowed herself to love the one thing in our world, and it was the dog.
Speaker 4Oh well.
Speaker 1It's a hundred years of love. That's a you problem. Look, I get it. Mitch, did you see it? I don't have to see it, this movie pretty much fills in its own blanks. I like my interpretation of it better.
Speaker 2My dream so Ellis stalks her, finds her on the street in Chinatown in San Francisco and he's got flowers. Yeah, and she's like why are you here? And he's like do you know where I live? God?
Speaker 4forbid you bring me flowers.
Speaker 2I know right, and it's just like you know he's checking on you and she's like I just got it from the library, it wasn't hard, so she's upset, runs off not returning his calls. Her daughter talks her into like going for it.
Speaker 4Yeah, giving him a chance.
Speaker 2Because her daughter's like 80. Yeah.
Speaker 4Her daughter's played by somebody famous.
Speaker 2I can't remember what her name is though we can look it up after this.
Speaker 1I'll look it up while you're talking, yeah go for it.
Speaker 2So she ends up going back to him and the doorman guy wouldn't let her up, yeah, and he's like, oh, tell her so-and-so. But then she keeps interrupting him as he's talking to the guy to tell him what he's saying I think he was on the construction side or something like that oh yeah, there he was redoing like the entire apartment, because he owned the whole thing, because he's, you know, rich, yeah, and she's like going on and on and on and he's like uh-huh, uh-huh, he's like okay yeah, ellen bernstein yes, yeah and burston
Speaker 4burston, you illiterate, shut up look, look, I do all the work. Y'all figure out how to say it.
Speaker 2I do words good.
Speaker 4We would be here if it's not for me.
Speaker 2Shut up. It's like three minutes of her going on and on as the guy's trying to tell the her future boyfriend what she's saying, and every time he's about to talk she interrupts and keeps going like oh well, tell him, I'm really sorry about this. And he just goes like all right, hey, it's this. Oh, you heard everything. Oh, thank God, so he doesn't have to try to repeat it all. So they resume their affair with each other. An affair. Their lover's tryst.
Speaker 1An affair that transcends time.
Speaker 2And she still says she's leaving to move to Oregon and redo the identity thing because it's been like, I guess, 10 years for her since the last one. But she agrees to go with him to meet his parents for their parents' 40th wedding anniversary and arrives and we meet Harrison Ford.
Speaker 4Now For this timely interruption. Sometimes things just need a little boost, when life feels a bit different. It's time for a change, Introducing something that could redefine your experience. It's good. It's about feeling good, looking good and embracing. What's next? What if you could unlock potential you didn't know you had? You don't have to wonder any longer. Try Aaronics. It will help live life better and give you that extra energy when you need it. Don't believe us. Just ask Hayden. He's been using Aaronics for years and couldn't be happier. Aaronics, the boost that gets you going in the evening. Or meth.
Speaker 1Woo, what did I just sign up for? Don't worry about it, just keep going.
Speaker 2Anyway, am I getting money for that? No, we are, but not you. They meet Ellis' parents and Harrison Ford is like I don't know why you belong in a museum and he immediately recognizes her as a lover from the past and we learned through flashbacks that the two of them had a torrid love affair meeting in Europe and she comes with him back to the US.
Speaker 1Did she do quick math about her new boyfriend's age and when she met Harrison Ford?
Speaker 2Yeah, you could see her coming up with a lie on the spot and she's like, oh, that was my mom, yeah. And he's like like, how is she? And like even like his wife is looking at him, like you said, like you knew her, like that was a good friend of yours. I never heard of her. Then he's like says something like twice, and then she's like, and indignantly just storms out of the room like who was this hoe?
Speaker 1But like did somebody address it? Like was she boinking her son?
Speaker 2No, they never.
Speaker 1I'd get a quick DNA test.
Speaker 4Well, at the end of the movie she tells Ellis the whole thing.
Speaker 2Yeah, wait, wait, wait, wait. She doesn't really cue in like the hey. I was banging your dad in the 60s.
Speaker 4Yeah, she doesn't. Put cue in like the hey I was banging your dad in the 60s.
Speaker 2Yeah, she doesn't put it that way, or in the 70s, whenever it was, you know, around that time.
Speaker 1Okay, weird.
Speaker 2Eventually he figures it out, but they went in.
Speaker 4He's like obsessed over trying to figure this out because he keeps seeing her Every time he sees her before they quote, unquote, unquote, figure it out. He's just like mesmerized, like, oh, like trying to hand her a cup of coffee or something like that.
Speaker 3Yeah it's kind of weird it's like it made me think of that.
Speaker 4What's the horror movie that he's in, where, like, he killed his wife? No, what Lies Beneath it reminds me of that, just a less aggressive version.
Speaker 1Yeah, that was a weird movie the fact that he just elaborately tries to kill Michelle Pfeiffer by drowning her in a bathtub, by paralyzing her, instead of just shooting her in the face.
Speaker 4There might have left evidence that way it's like a cooking video where they do Instead of just like shooting her in the face, like what there might have left evidence that way.
Speaker 2I don't know. It's like a cooking video where, like they do, like the basic, it's like all right, we're going to fry an egg. And then it's like, all right, now we're going to do it like the obnoxiously difficult way, like everything's from scratch. It's like now we're going to go forge iron ore so we can make a cast iron pan. After you've done that, we're going to buy a house and we're going to build it so we can cook it.
Speaker 4I saw on TikTok this person. They were going through this intricate way. They were basically making a screwdriver but they cut up a screwdriver to put all these other pieces in it, just to do the same thing.
Speaker 1We heard you like screwdrivers. We put screwdrivers in your screwdriver.
Speaker 4Because there's this person like it's a split video, like the duet things, where one person is describing and talking about something and then this is this picture on the other side. So, basically, this person turned a tool into the same tool just a very complicated process, nice yeah.
Speaker 2It's like that Mel Gibson thing where he pulls out the gun and family guy shoots like the safe and opens it and picks up the same gun and he's just like all right, all right.
Speaker 1This tangent was brought to you by whatever penis pill Mitch was using.
Speaker 2It was brought to you by Megalode, so you do know what it's for.
Speaker 1It was pretty obvious. Yeah, did a little ad there.
Speaker 4Yeah, I was trying to be a little vague.
Speaker 1Anyway, back to the chick flick we're talking about our nice female obvious. Yeah, getting a little ad there. Yeah, I was trying to be a little vague. Anyway, back to the chick flick. We're talking about our nice female audience. Yeah, thanks for being listeners. We do care After.
Speaker 2Adeline, or Jenny as she's called, beats the crap out of Harrison Ford in a game of trivial pursuit due to her knowledge of having lived these events firsthand.
Speaker 1I was there.
Speaker 2The board game's wrong. I was there 3,000 years ago. His suspicions only grow until finally he confronts her.
Speaker 4He like, freaks out, runs to this shed that he has in the back, gets all these boxes out and starts finding letters.
Speaker 2The scar is like what does it? And there's a flashback where the two of them are like frolicking through the woods and she like slides a little bit and cuts her hand on a branch. She rips her hand open on a branch, yeah so he like a stub, like hanging off, like the off a tree.
Speaker 1Well, maybe that's like her weakness is wood.
Speaker 2Yeah Is physical injury.
Speaker 1Wow, she's got the super power to live forever, but a strong gust of wind.
Speaker 2But you think, would she heal without her cells aging?
Speaker 1I actually have a lot of questions, I do. I'm going to save it for the end, though, okay.
Speaker 2So he ends up stitching it and has a unique scar which he immediately recognized. He runs to his shed knocking stuff over and pulls out the box from 1966 and finds photos and looks at Adeline then and realizes it's the same person and takes off after her.
Speaker 4Like chasing her down by vehicle as she's running. Yeah, harrison Ford does yeah.
Speaker 1It was like freaking, you know, like Well, no, no.
Speaker 2She runs through the woods to another road he gets into like a 2012 Jeep Cherokee.
Speaker 4Chases her down.
Speaker 1Was he monologuing about Jeep Cherokees while he was doing it?
Speaker 2No, when you've got to chase down a woman who won't age, choose Jeep, jeep, cherokee. So after being discovered by William Harrison Ford, she begs to keep her secret. Fearful, she runs away.
Speaker 4While driving, she's in another accident and after being in a hit and run, she's rescued by ellis, who is, you know, brought up to speed about her condition, and then, a year later, same kind of because it starts to snow she wrecks, lightning hits. That's her weakness, yeah, lightning that hit, she gets like all right, so she gets defibrillated sexist okay, saying women can't is sexist.
Speaker 1Okay, saying women can't drive.
Speaker 2So she's in the Saab, she gets hit, she gets ejected from the vehicle out of a multi-role crash.
Speaker 4Yeah, instraplug.
Speaker 1Blonde hair just goes everywhere. An oil tanker falls out of the sky.
Speaker 4This would be a great comedy movie the guy that hits him does drive off and just leaves. Yeah, just wrecks out.
Speaker 2He like kind of looks and like looks out and goes, it just keeps going, just leaves, just wrecks out. He kind of looks down and goes, just keeps going, leaves the scene.
Speaker 4I'm not dead yet. The EMT show up and do the electric bottle. That's where she gets the electricity this time, but before this happens.
Speaker 1Alice comes home 600,000 ampules. Don't worry, it was. No, it wasn't.
Speaker 2Just don't worry, it was. No, it wasn't. There's no way it was. But anyway, before all this happens, ellis comes home from his run. He's like showering, she packs up all her stuff, she leaves and he's like questioning his dad Like where's the keys, like what happened? What did you do? Like what did you say? And his dad's like do you love her? He's like do you love?
Speaker 1her. Did he do the fingers? Yes, yeah, he did you belong in the museum? And he's like yeah.
Speaker 2And he's like go. And he tosses him the keys like go, get her kid. He's like my time was over. He's like I blinked her in the 60s.
Speaker 4It was awesome.
Speaker 1It. It was awesome, it was fresh. Take it now. Yeah, go get some of that. I bequeath her to you.
Speaker 2So he drives off after finds her, calls the ambulance. I'm wondering how much time she was there clinically dead. At least two minutes. Yeah, at least two minutes. I got you for two minutes. So they rip her clothes off but they don't show, which is kind of lame. They defibrillate her and there's no way. It's the same amount of amps.
Speaker 4It would be funny if it was Sure is.
Speaker 1She just explodes.
Speaker 4It's hooked up to the ambulance like battery. They look at the paddles like oh, Clear Bah, you should see birds fall out of the tree next to it.
Speaker 2No, it just cuts to the scene from T2 with the nuke going up.
Speaker 1So I take it like they take away her ability to live forever with that right.
Speaker 2Yeah, the narrator tells it. Now here's my question.
Speaker 1Well, you don't know for sure.
Speaker 2Well, yeah Well, the narrator tells you. But it'd be cool if it was like the Last Crusade, where she just like instantaneously is.
Speaker 2She starts catching up. That'd be wild Anyway. So she meets in the hospital. Her daughter comes, she meets Alice and now she's very happy because Alice knows what's going on with Adeline and they all meet as a family. So now the daughter has like a 30-year-old stepdad and she's like 82, which is wild. And then a year later they're leaving to go to some New Year's Eve party and she walks by the mirror and then comes back and pulls out a gray hair.
Speaker 4And smiles.
Speaker 1And smiles.
Speaker 4She's so right End film we all know that's fake.
Speaker 1She'd be in that car, driving, looking for snow, challenging the gods.
Speaker 4One more time Be drifting corners just trying something.
Speaker 1Hit me. Hit me, I want you to hit me Come on.
Speaker 2I give this movie a three out of ten.
Speaker 1Wow, I have some questions. So a she only has the one kid the whole, the whole age of Adeline.
Speaker 2Yeah, she has a daughter named Fleming.
Speaker 1Okay, which is a great name, um, all right. Well then that that there's no way to answer any of my other questions, like is she still capable of having kids?
Speaker 2Well, if she got knocked up while she still had a not aging power, would the child age, or would it just be permanently an infant?
Speaker 1That's a good question. That's a pro-life movie.
Speaker 2Could she actually get sick?
Speaker 4Yeah, I wonder if it would transfer.
Speaker 2Is this a superhero movie? At the end of the movie you see a guy, a bald guy, in a wheelchair wheel up and it's like heavily implied it's Charles Xavier.
Speaker 1Nick Fury's like we need you for the Avengers initiative.
Speaker 4No, he knocks on the door as she's pulling the gray hair out. He's like ah, never mind, Rolls away, we already got one of them.
Speaker 1But Old. If it is a superhero movie, whatever she's supposed to be fighting, she sucked at. I don't know what is she supposed to be fighting herself.
Speaker 2The FBI, I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because, like towards the end, her mom, her mom's like telling her, like she's like you can stop running, she's like nobody's chasing you.
Speaker 1Do you know how complicated that relationship would be if, like you, were hooking up with a 108-year-old woman and like you know you're talking about, like you want to Uber Eats you know some dinner tonight and she's like your fandangled technology Back in my day. Uber and she was like your fandangled technology Back in my day.
Speaker 4Uber was a bad word from the Nazis Uber, uber. Yeah, I give the movie five out of ten Because it is good if you don't try to look too much into it.
Speaker 1I give it a ten out of ten if you go off of my plot.
Speaker 2All right, mitch, you're giving it a five out of ten. Hayden, what's your Well? You didn't even into it. I give it a 10 out of 10 if you go off my plot. All right, mitch, you're giving it a 5 out of 10. Hayden, what's your Well? You?
Speaker 1didn't even watch it. I didn't watch it, Just put like DNF Did not finish. I checked out of a race, I pulled a hamstring and couldn't do it, so combined this movie.
Speaker 2I'd entertain this score of a four out of 10. Yeah, put it on our stuff later.
Speaker 1Yeah, put on our website. We'll just start listing the movies and what we gave it.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, there you go like a link to the episode. It's like, if you want to listen to us, go on side tangents about nonsense while we try to review this film speaking of harrison ford.
Speaker 4I saw this video and they're like it was a tick tock and somebody was like I guess they haven't seen. Uh, one of the Indian. What's the? What's the one where he shoots the guy?
Speaker 1The first one yeah.
Speaker 2This is a lost star.
Speaker 4They're like I guess he hasn't seen Indiana Jones, cause there's this guy in a gym and he's doing like these karate poses and stuff in front of a cop and the cop goes, when you shoot him with a taster, like the cop's not standing like in a fight, stand or nothing, he's just standing there and he just goes pow.
Speaker 2He's like I don't have time for that he just takes his.
Speaker 4Yeah, it's funny. Ride the light.
Speaker 1Well, female audience, we care obviously Listening to our riveting review this movie that you have picked and we're so grateful and we want you to know that this was our respectful, tasteful means of Only two of us watched it, we just ripped the movie apart the whole time.
Speaker 2You're destroying a film you never saw.
Speaker 4I have to say I did check our metrics and a majority of our people that listen or whatever it's like men from 25 to 45 and like basically men 25 to 45 yeah, and four women, and one of them is my wife yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1Well, you know that's a majority of our audience what can you do? Yeah, I mean maybe like, uh, maybe somebody, some, some lady out there is like you know. That's the majority of our audience. What can you do? I mean, maybe, like, maybe somebody, some lady out there is, like you know, trying to push her husband to watch this movie and he listens to our podcast. He's like no way.
Speaker 1Maybe he'll like get all the jokes and stuff. He's like nah, watch it now. You giggle at all the wrong places. You're welcome. That could be our new shtick for the podcast. Like, hey, this is what you need to think about when you're watching this chick flick with your wife.
