Age of Adaline: A Humorous Dive into Staying Forever Young
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.
Record time.
Speaker 2:Record time.
Speaker 1:I wasn't ready, Get ready. You are now Mitch.
Speaker 2:Nobody 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 1:Books.
Speaker 2:Yes, books, books. Back in my day, podcasts was books. I'm Tom.
Speaker 1:With me. I have hey dude, Is that enthusiastic enough for you? Yes, hey dad, Drink more Red.
Speaker 2:Bull. All right, have a pulse. I forgot, we changed it and we have Mitch.
Speaker 4:Hey, how you doing, how you doing.
Speaker 2:And 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 4:Well, 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 1:You could be the first person in history to be injured on social media.
Speaker 4:No, 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 1:We're not that bad on this show we could be.
Speaker 2:I mean, I'm not going to lie, my neck hurts from sleeping.
Speaker 1:I have sneezed really hard and you thought you blew a butt muscle.
Speaker 2:I did.
Speaker 1:I didn't sit on my side.
Speaker 2:Just wrecked a glute.
Speaker 4:We're at the age where we get our injured sleeping sound.
Speaker 2:Yes, we're all in our 30s now on this show. Speaking of age, we're talking about the Age of Adaline.
Speaker 1:This is my favorite movie.
Speaker 2:No, it's not. You didn't even freaking watch it. I'm not doing it with them.
Speaker 4:No, hang on 20 minutes earlier.
Speaker 2:We need to curse on this show no.
Speaker 4:But we're not. I took it seriously.
Speaker 1:I'm a trendsetter. It's still the golden rule, Dude weaseled out of it.
Speaker 2:What'd you do with it? Get the hot sauce. What'd you do with it? No, get the hot sauce.
Speaker 1:Did out of. I paid for that. I saw it right here. Where are you hiding it? I didn't hide it.
Speaker 2:Here I'll find it.
Speaker 4:Keep 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 2:And ever, and ever.
Speaker 4:Forever. 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 2:Hayden, I wish I could tell you. I don't know. You threw it away.
Speaker 4:I didn't throw it away. I don't know where it went.
Speaker 2:I don't touch it. It's not in the pile of Star Wars action figures.
Speaker 4:This is Tom's elaborate ruse to get out of it.
Speaker 2:Snort 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 2:Just 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 4:Yeah, pronounce that name. Pronounce the name.
Speaker 2:Huseman.
Speaker 4:I don't know, I can't see it.
Speaker 2:I 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 1:That's the dude's name that you can't pronounce, yeah.
Speaker 2:Harrison 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 1:Let's see $25 million budget, box office, $65.7 million. It's pretty successful.
Speaker 2:I 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 1:Oh, she didn't win the Saturn Award.
Speaker 2:Nope, 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 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And 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 1:Your 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 4:Oh, 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 1:She didn't watch it this time, I think my wife just genuinely I'm excited about watching it.
Speaker 2:She didn't watch it at all.
Speaker 1:She didn't watch it.
Speaker 2:Your kids, Did your dog, did your cat watch it? Anybody? Did anybody in the Brandon household?
Speaker 1:I 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 4:So we all got this Valentine's movie and none of us watched it with our wives.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Happy Valentine's. Yeah, that's us.
Speaker 1:Look, been married for 16 years. We're lucky to be in the same house on Valentine's Day.
Speaker 4:I've only been married for 12. How long have you been married, Tom?
Speaker 2:Was it February 28th? I've been married. It was February 23rd today Punching his Casio my calculator.
Speaker 3:Watch Such a dork. You're a dork Screw, you Is that bad, getting even tighter with your stick wrists.
Speaker 2:I don't like it moving around.
Speaker 4:Would you hurry up and tell us how many days?
Speaker 2:We've been married since January 18th so however many days. That is from now Close enough.
Speaker 1:I've slept longer than that. I'm crap bigger than you.
Speaker 2:Shut up, Anyway the movie.
Speaker 4:Well, first we got a couple of reviews.
Speaker 2:Oh right.
Speaker 4:This 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 1:Doe-eyed.
Speaker 4:Oh, let's see.
Speaker 2:I 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 4:Then we get a PhD. Underscore travel, a 10 out of 10. Romantic fantasy at its best.
Speaker 2:Does he have a PhD and travel?
Speaker 4:Every 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 4:They 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 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 4:This 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 1:You belong in a museum. Agent Vanilline.
Speaker 4:Let's see Along with me.
Speaker 2:I want my family back.
Speaker 4:We got one more.
Speaker 2:Get off my plane.
Speaker 4:One out of ten, Lacking Any Sense by Vlad P6.
Speaker 2:Vlad.
Speaker 4:No, it's well, I guess Vlad P6, then yeah, Vlad.
Speaker 1:You idiot. I too can R-E-D, it's all one word.
Speaker 2:What do you mean? Because that's a name there's not going to be a space, vlad P6.
Speaker 4:Six 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 1:At least mine was an actual name.
Speaker 4:It'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 2:You're getting your dad's like sloppy seconds, whilst the father still has very strong feelings for her.
Speaker 4:Disgusting, it's simply damaging.
Speaker 1:What's Bicentennial man when Robin Williams' robot character sleeps with every generation of the same woman? I know that.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's essentially the same thing. It's just gross because it's a girl.
Speaker 4:now, there was one very Karen response.
Speaker 1:How many do you got Mitch, Just the last one.
Speaker 4:Dragone 001. Is it?
Speaker 2:dragon.
Speaker 4:D-R-O-G-O-N 001.
Speaker 4:Very 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 1:This lady's husband is like all right, you get older, but she stays the same.
Speaker 2:He's the same age. This is a win-win.
Speaker 1:I can hear the chest slaps. You know the wife like pow yeah.
Speaker 4:Ouch Dang. Anyways, go Now continue.
Speaker 2:All 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 1:So 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 1:Things kind of went off the rails, yeah it was like a fever dream.
Speaker 2:So, 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 3:Within 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 2:Like this can really happen.
Speaker 1:So 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 2:Because, 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 1:It 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 4:It'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 1:You know why Benjamin Button worked? Because they didn't explain it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're just like he was born old and he got.
Speaker 1:That's his goofiness that works, just go with it.
Speaker 4:For some reason tracking and almost dying. She's alive.
Speaker 1:If 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 4:Well, we're still doing this podcast in 2035. We need to review this and go hey that was still not discovered, liar.
Speaker 1:What is that like? 10 more years, 10 more years, we'll be around 10 more years Following that she can no longer age.
Speaker 2:she is hunted down by the Catholic Church because they think she's a witch.
Speaker 1:Oh 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 2:Like 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 4:Because it went on too long. It was too descriptive of what's going on.
Speaker 2:The 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 1:I 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 2:Yeah, 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 1:How does she escape?
Speaker 2:She 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 4:They didn't say all that it's implied.
Speaker 1:They are the federal body inspectors.
Speaker 2:Federal 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 4:you just dressed in Christmas the inside car.
Speaker 2:Like 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 1:It's a really elaborate way, yeah, like knocking down a wall right next to a door and locked.
Speaker 4:But 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 1:leave the keys in there. I don't know the lights were on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the lights were on Because they were showing them standing in front with the light on.
Speaker 1:She's just been Look at that.
Speaker 4:Look, we're trying to make logic out of a movie about this girl that lives hundreds of years.
Speaker 2:Here 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 1:I don't think she found her, oh definitely struck by the speed force. It would make more sense.
Speaker 2:But 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 4:They're like yeah, okay, bye, okay bye.
Speaker 2:As 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 1:That's my favorite button.
Speaker 2:So 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 4:But you got to think back. Then it wouldn't be that hard to change your ID.
Speaker 2:No, 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 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Really.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what were the people just going off of Goodwill? Yeah, Pretty much.
Speaker 4:You 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 1:Yeah, but wasn't there a lot of serial killings and murders and stuff?
Speaker 4:That's besides the point.
Speaker 1:We're not getting undocumented.
Speaker 2:Yes, and probably still do.
Speaker 1:Not as bad, but yeah.
Speaker 2:It 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 2:He'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.
Speaker 2:it'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 4:He meets her at the party. Well, that's why I?
Speaker 2:this 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 4:That's like 30, 40 minutes of the movie.
Speaker 2:So, 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 4:uh, what time period was this supposed to be in?
Speaker 2:this is in the present, this is in 2015. Okay, the for them and when the movie came out.
Speaker 4:Yeah, 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 2:He's trying to chat her up and they have no chemistry.
Speaker 4:Because she's like shooting down everything he does. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 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 4:Well, 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 3:They always hit on you, even the young ones.
Speaker 4:She's like I don't know.
Speaker 1:She 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 2:Wild Stupid Wild.
Speaker 4:Woman must have wrote this movie.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 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 4:No, 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 1:Did he cyber stalk her?
Speaker 3:No.
Speaker 4:Maybe he recognized her and went because she's like she works at a library. Of course she does. She likes old books.
Speaker 2:He's on the board of commissioners for, or trustees or something.
Speaker 4:Something like that For the library he donates like 50,000 books or something to him. He's some rich guy.
Speaker 2:But he basically uses his leverage to get a date out of her.
Speaker 4:Yeah, he said he won't donate the books unless he goes on the date and donate the books specifically to her. Yeah.
Speaker 2:And she's like no, and he goes all right, cool, he's like no books.
Speaker 4:And she's like fine, fine, I'll go out with this roughly handsome, extremely rich man God.
Speaker 2:The inconvenience of it all, the inconvenience.
Speaker 1:Well, that's her problem. She just doesn't want to love again, or?
Speaker 4:something Exactly, yeah, and then you find out later, yeah.
Speaker 2:So 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 4:Yeah, he looks like a freaking professional chef.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 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 4:Which was not what he was cooking. He was chopping up peppers and all sorts of stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, whatever it is. So they obviously have a great first date because they wake up in bed together. Yeah, the next morning.
Speaker 1:She's just playing hard to get for about 15 minutes.
Speaker 4:They'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 2:They were doing dancing stuff.
Speaker 4:They're just watching them through the window.
Speaker 2:Then 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 2:She 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 4:she just tied it to a pole and opened out the window. It'll work, I promise.
Speaker 2:Just 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 4:We've all had a dog that's died.
Speaker 1:It's sad yes, but she only allowed herself to love the one thing in our world, and it was the dog.
Speaker 4:Oh well.
Speaker 1:It'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 2:My 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 4:forbid you bring me flowers.
Speaker 2:I 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 4:Yeah, giving him a chance.
Speaker 2:Because her daughter's like 80. Yeah.
Speaker 4:Her daughter's played by somebody famous.
Speaker 2:I can't remember what her name is though we can look it up after this.
Speaker 1:I'll look it up while you're talking, yeah go for it.
Speaker 2:So 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 4:burston, you illiterate, shut up look, look, I do all the work. Y'all figure out how to say it.
Speaker 2:I do words good.
Speaker 4:We would be here if it's not for me.
Speaker 2:Shut 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 1:An affair that transcends time.
Speaker 2:And 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 4:Now 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 1:Woo, what did I just sign up for? Don't worry about it, just keep going.
Speaker 2:Anyway, 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 1:Did she do quick math about her new boyfriend's age and when she met Harrison Ford?
Speaker 2:Yeah, 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 1:But like did somebody address it? Like was she boinking her son?
Speaker 2:No, they never.
Speaker 1:I'd get a quick DNA test.
Speaker 4:Well, at the end of the movie she tells Ellis the whole thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, wait, wait, wait, wait. She doesn't really cue in like the hey. I was banging your dad in the 60s.
Speaker 4:Yeah, she doesn't. Put cue in like the hey I was banging your dad in the 60s.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she doesn't put it that way, or in the 70s, whenever it was, you know, around that time.
Speaker 1:Okay, weird.
Speaker 2:Eventually he figures it out, but they went in.
Speaker 4:He'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 3:Yeah it's kind of weird it's like it made me think of that.
Speaker 4:What'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 1:Yeah, 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 4:There 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 2:I 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 4:I 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 1:We heard you like screwdrivers. We put screwdrivers in your screwdriver.
Speaker 4:Because 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 2:It'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 1:This tangent was brought to you by whatever penis pill Mitch was using.
Speaker 2:It was brought to you by Megalode, so you do know what it's for.
Speaker 1:It was pretty obvious. Yeah, did a little ad there.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I was trying to be a little vague.
Speaker 1:Anyway, 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 2:Adeline, 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 1:I was there.
Speaker 2:The board game's wrong. I was there 3,000 years ago. His suspicions only grow until finally he confronts her.
Speaker 4:He like, freaks out, runs to this shed that he has in the back, gets all these boxes out and starts finding letters.
Speaker 2:The 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 1:Well, maybe that's like her weakness is wood.
Speaker 2:Yeah Is physical injury.
Speaker 1:Wow, she's got the super power to live forever, but a strong gust of wind.
Speaker 2:But you think, would she heal without her cells aging?
Speaker 1:I actually have a lot of questions, I do. I'm going to save it for the end, though, okay.
Speaker 2:So 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 4:Like chasing her down by vehicle as she's running. Yeah, harrison Ford does yeah.
Speaker 1:It was like freaking, you know, like Well, no, no.
Speaker 2:She runs through the woods to another road he gets into like a 2012 Jeep Cherokee.
Speaker 4:Chases her down.
Speaker 1:Was he monologuing about Jeep Cherokees while he was doing it?
Speaker 2:No, 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 4:While 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 1:Okay, saying women can't drive.
Speaker 2:So she's in the Saab, she gets hit, she gets ejected from the vehicle out of a multi-role crash.
Speaker 4:Yeah, instraplug.
Speaker 1:Blonde hair just goes everywhere. An oil tanker falls out of the sky.
Speaker 4:This would be a great comedy movie the guy that hits him does drive off and just leaves. Yeah, just wrecks out.
Speaker 2:He 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 4:I'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 1:Alice comes home 600,000 ampules. Don't worry, it was. No, it wasn't.
Speaker 2:Just 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 1:her. Did he do the fingers? Yes, yeah, he did you belong in the museum? And he's like yeah.
Speaker 2:And 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 4:It was awesome.
Speaker 1:It. It was awesome, it was fresh. Take it now. Yeah, go get some of that. I bequeath her to you.
Speaker 2:So 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 4:It would be funny if it was Sure is.
Speaker 1:She just explodes.
Speaker 4:It'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 2:No, it just cuts to the scene from T2 with the nuke going up.
Speaker 1:So I take it like they take away her ability to live forever with that right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the narrator tells it. Now here's my question.
Speaker 1:Well, you don't know for sure.
Speaker 2:Well, 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 2:She 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 4:And smiles.
Speaker 1:And smiles.
Speaker 4:She's so right End film we all know that's fake.
Speaker 1:She'd be in that car, driving, looking for snow, challenging the gods.
Speaker 4:One more time Be drifting corners just trying something.
Speaker 1:Hit me. Hit me, I want you to hit me Come on.
Speaker 2:I give this movie a three out of ten.
Speaker 1:Wow, I have some questions. So a she only has the one kid the whole, the whole age of Adeline.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she has a daughter named Fleming.
Speaker 1:Okay, 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 2:Well, 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 1:That's a good question. That's a pro-life movie.
Speaker 2:Could she actually get sick?
Speaker 4:Yeah, I wonder if it would transfer.
Speaker 2:Is 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 1:Nick Fury's like we need you for the Avengers initiative.
Speaker 4:No, 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 1:But 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 2:The 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 1:Do 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 4:Uber 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 1:I give it a ten out of ten if you go off of my plot.
Speaker 2:All 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 1:didn'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 2:I'd entertain this score of a four out of 10. Yeah, put it on our stuff later.
Speaker 1:Yeah, put on our website. We'll just start listing the movies and what we gave it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 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 4:I 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 1:The first one yeah.
Speaker 2:This is a lost star.
Speaker 4:They'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 2:He's like I don't have time for that he just takes his.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's funny. Ride the light.
Speaker 1:Well, 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.
