Matt, Rachael and The Juror: Thursday, January 16th 2025

30:41Even though I ship him and that girl, Ella. It look like you love me. I could see it too. It look like you want me to want you to come on home. I ended up on like fan fiction about those two. Did I tell you about that? Could you see her with Craig Conover? That's what people were saying on social media. I saw it on Liz Woods' Instagram. I not only could see. That was an original thought I just want to say. Oh, yeah, no, you're not the only one. A lot of people said that. Because I'm going into the archives. And I would love. Because I also feel like I remember seeing content from them that was like talking about getting engaged.

31:22And how like Matt, I forget what it was, but it was like the subtext was like that Rachel's sort of like waiting. And that's never a good place to be. It's almost like her and Craig were in the same position. Yeah. so I could see them also just getting along on an interests level yes yes I could see her moving to Charleston same adding value to the show I could see that as well they're both very good looking people like it won't be hard no it won't to to venture out that's fun that is fun but I need a little bit more before I can like really close the chapter on these two I'm beyond confused okay well are you ready for our next story yes Wendy Williams is making headlines as she insists that she's not cognitively impaired and feels like she's in prison in a bombshell breakfast club interview so Wendy Williams called into the breakfast club on Thursday morning in a plea for freedom the 60 year old and her niece told listeners that she is trapped in a facility in New York with elderly patients without access to her phone or laptop while under guardianship She called her situation emotional abuse in the bombshell interview.

32:33She said, I am not cognitively impaired, but I feel like I am in prison. I am definitely isolated. To talk to these people who live here, that is not my cup of tea. She said, I keep the door closed. I watch TV. I listen to the radio. I watch the window. I sit here and my life goes by. She claimed her cats have been taken and are gone despite her wanting to be with them. and that she is in a conservatorship despite not being cognitively impaired. So this immediately reminded me of some sort of Freedia McFadden book because I could see two different realities, one in which like this is a person who has been completely taken advantage of that like literally had money, had people around her who were bad faith actors and they literally put her in a facility, put her in a conservatorship and are stealing money from her.

33:16And she's trying to get her story out. But I could also see like the plot twist of this book being like she's actually deeply unwell she had a moment of lucidity or she this is like a a fantasy in her mind like what's that movie uh shutter island where he's like actually a patient and they're playing this game like i don't know it gives me the willies like i don't know what reality is yeah it's like because also it's not like there hasn't been like a couple of years of we've seen wendy williams over the last couple of years like struggle publicly with like health things and then also be on camera caught by tmz looking a little and sounding a little you know not so clear.

33:48So it's not like there isn't, but maybe they laid that path for us. Right, right. I don't know. I don't know what's true here. I don't know either. But it's a scary one to think about the first situation. It's almost too terrible to think about. Yeah. Like I hope, like not that I want her to be unwell, but I hope that the truth is that she is dealing with some sort of, she's incapacitated in some way and that's why she's been placed under the care of these people and under a conservatorship and a guardianship because if it is the alternative and what she said this morning is completely true like it's a horror it's a horror yeah so I don't know maybe I'm just like saying it to make myself feel better because I refuse to like believe there's someone living literally in a prison like she's kidnapped if that's true had she had access to a phone I need to know more about the niece too yeah the niece was there helping her and like sharing more details of the situation and like maybe this niece is taking advantage of this elderly sick woman like I don't know I don't know.

34:46There's a lot. I need Frida to write a book about it to just explain it to me. Yeah, but then the end would be the cliffhanger. Kind of like the end of Juror number two, by the way. Like, what is it they're saying? Okay. So, spoiler alert. So many people, when I've watched the movie, were like, what did you think of the ending? What do you think happened? Is it a fucking mystery? Why else would the DA show up at somebody's house to chat? The police didn't show up. I know, maybe she was giving him a heads up or something, but like, if she wasn't going to turn him in, why on God's green diddly in dally earth would that bitch be at this guy's house oh i thought if they wanted to let you know for sure that he was going away for it the police would have come and arrested him they had maybe maybe they were right behind tony collette she just wanted to give him a heads up because they had like this weird friendship like it was so clear to me like you're going to jail like do you think that he should go to jail i think that had he come forward it would have been a lot different but now it looks like a bad faith actor and why would someone believe him that like this is exactly how it happened because he's been caught so you say anything when you're caught you know yeah but it's like Kiefer Sutherland said with his record this would have been strike too and they would have you know jailed for right oh Kiefer Sutherland did say that yeah I was like are you quoting Kiefer Sutherland or like I forgot he was in the movie yeah um I'm not sure.

36:09I'm not sure. It's hard to think about. Yeah. And it's hard to think about Wendy Williams. Like, seriously, wishing her well. Wendy Williams is a queen. I think her impact as a woman in media is often overlooked, actually, like, dead seriously. When we talk about the greats. When we talk about the greats. When we talk about people who, like, actually moved the needle and actually, like, entertained people for so many years. Like, we don't talk about her. Like, we talk about Ellen. But Wendy Williams often gets overlooked by the historians. and she's the type of person who actually needs a documentary because.

36:40Claudia, there was just one. About Wendy? Or was it about her situation, like her conservatorship? I mean her overarching career because she had a lifetime original movie about her that was like dramatized. I watched it. You liked it. I liked it in the way that I like Hallmark movies. Like they're terrible pieces of shit, you know? But my takeaways from it were like really how she came up in radio and went on to become like one of the, you know, longest running women in daytime. It's actually really impressive and nobody talks about it. And I think if they gave her like a proper documentary, people would really respect her.

37:13But I do think she gets like, she has like written off a little bit. Do you feel that? Like, we're just like, oh, crazy Wendy Williams. Yeah. Yeah. And I don't know if it's because of like what's happening now or. No. And when you think of her cultural impact, like so many like viral TikTok sounds like are literally just Wendy Williams. Like, yeah. Are you a Nikki fan? am I a Nikki fan? Pull up in the, what did Wendy Osefa from Real Housewives of Potomac, she misquoted the Nicki Minaj line. Am I a Nikki fan? Pull up in the monster, the real lyrics is put up in the monster automobile gangster, but she says, pull up in the Sri Lanka.

37:50Also, clap if you're fat. Like there are so many Wendy Williams. She's so funny. So I'm going to choose to remember Wendy this way. Yeah. Are you ready for our next story? Yeah. So fans are trying to give Leighton Meester the Heidi Pratt treatment. Leighton Meester's fans hype up the actress's underappreciated pop music to help her rebuild her home after the LA fires. So Leighton Meester and Adam Brody, their house was one of the first to burn down in the LA fires. And now fans are starting to hype up her music that she released back in the day and try and do for Leighton what the internet did for Heidi's music as well.

38:31so I love this the fact that her songs are just re-entering the zeitgeist I'll never be upset about however do we know that they didn't have insurance like the thing why everybody felt so compelled to help Spencer and Heidi has been very vocal that farmers insurance dropped them like he's been outspoken about that so I don't know if Leighton and Adam are in the same situation they're also not in the same situation because I think like financially they're a lot better off than like two former reality stars who are like active content creators versus you know he has a hit show on Netflix I think she chooses to work when she wants to work like I think they're very different situations yeah but her songs are coming back into the fold now of course somebody to love your love's a drug I don't know how the royalties on summer girl would get to her because it is from the movie it's owned by like Warner Brothers and I do wish the initiative was a little more like let's all watch country strong to support Layton yeah because that is a challenge I could definitely be a part of um but I think every now and then we're reminded of the great work she did in the music industry and so if this is just another reminder for a young generation to be influenced by her music and her work then I'm not upset about it I just want to say I don't think it's the same situation as Heidi and Spencer yeah also good girls go bad and she did have a debut album Heartstrings with Universal Republic um no no that was independently released oh so that's even more oh so we should be streaming her independent music but her previously she was with Universal or public with your love's your drug.

39:52That was really crazy how her decision after Gossip Girl was to become a pop star, which was a brilliant decision. And I don't think any of the other girls had the same goals. So it wasn't competitive at all. And how she really made an impact, even at the time, like she was popping off. It's not like now we look back and be like, no. And then she just sort of decided she didn't want to do it anymore. Yeah. Well, who would give up a career like that? She was like giving them bitches a run for their money. No, I feel like she's a real one. Like she really keeps herself. I think she just like lives her life is in a happy marriage works now yes she's very settled works to work but maybe all of the glitz and glam in the industry like wasn't for her and she's also in that show parenthood like don't let's not forget which is a big show one of my favorite Leighton Meester moments is like actually somewhat recently after her and Seth Cohen had been married for a while and they don't do like a lot of press together I think one of the first times they did an interview together like entertainment tonight the interview was like do you guys understand like the impact of Leighton me sir blair waldorf marrying seth cohen and they were like no like they literally don't give a fuck and then by the way jackie they gave the fans nothing they were like we like we get it like we were both on shows but like they are so wrong for that i just want to say you have to watch the interview it's like this girl it was a good question i can't blame the journalist she was like do you get it like what it means to so many people and she was like no she was like what do you mean like we're married and she's like and we act like she was just like very literal about it oh my god that is and i get it she wasn't like a teenager who got to appreciate blair waldorf and seth cohen but like she doesn't get it and i don't think she wants to get it either no no no yeah and i feel like he plays with like the internet he like you know he knows he's like playing a part like seth cona yeah like he does it for like his work and then he goes home and rolls his eyes she gives the people nothing i love it no nothing nothing well stream layton if you want to support some of us never stopped i'm just a summer girl like seriously flip flops and when i get my hair down the party never stops and who needs a boyfriend I got my girlfriends.

42:05Like that song is so good. That whole album from the Country Strong soundtrack is just fucking incredible. But the Layton songs in particular, they're not all original songs. They're like, one of them is like a Sarah Evans song. Yeah, they're covers. They're brilliant. They are brilliant beyond brilliant. Of course, there are original songs because I'm country strong. Like so many good ones. But I highly recommend taking a deep dive in the Country Strong soundtrack. I recommend streaming Country Strong to support. And watching. And listening to the album. Oh, you know, I saw a really funny interview.

42:40My boyfriend, Tim Riggins, Taylor Kitsch. You know, I'm sure he gets asked this all the time. Like, would you have a reboot? And he was like, no. If they asked me to, like, come, they're doing a reboot, and they wanted me to play, like, a coach for another team, I would maybe do an episode. But, like, I'm not committing. I'm not becoming Riggins again. Like, I don't want to be doing multiple seasons of it. and I found it so refreshing. Like obviously I'm devastated, but like why can't we let perfect things remain perfect? And I feel like he, I don't know if it was, and I don't think he's so booked and busy that he would like, you know, be too good for the job.

43:11I think he just like likes the work that he did and wants to leave it alone. And I was like, I wish we could get more comfortable answering this. Like, yes, I don't want to do it. Yeah, but also a lot of those shows when the people are like in their young adult years, like they don't look back on them as fondly as we remember it like it's they're traumatic it's like toxic you know they're not as obsessed with it as we are so we have having said that i just know that scott porter saw that interview and cried because he's ready yeah he is rwa ready willing and able are you ready for our next story if it's our next story that's brought to you by thrive cosmetics it is so whether you like fresh face full glam or a little something in between You've probably seen Thrive Cosmetics viral tubing mascara all over your social media.

44:01It's the turquoise tube that Turdy uses. I got a fresh tube two days ago. I guess I didn't realize I was literally scraping the bottom of my last one. Like this new tube has given me like a whole new lease on life. Like I just, every time I sit and do my makeup, I feel different. That was my gateway drug to Thrive Cosmetics. I've been a Thrive customer like before they were a sponsor. But now obviously like I'm sort of like a spokesperson for the company, I guess you could say. So the mascara that's like super viral, the one that I use, it's a tubing mascara. I'd never used a tubing mascara before.

44:27It's called the Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara. It lasts all day. Very true. I put my makeup on at 9 a.m. yesterday all the way out to dinner with Brian. I got home at 9 o 'clock. I looked fabulous. It doesn't clump. It doesn't smudge and it doesn't flake. It looks like lash extensions, but you don't have the damaging glue or the salon pricing. It's also really easy to take off. It slides right off with warm water and a washcloth. There's no soap required. The ingredients are nourishing and they support longer, stronger, and healthier looking lashes over time. They also have the Flake Free Tubing Formula, which lengthens and defines your lashes from root to tip.

44:55I love this mascara. I have like lash issues. I have really straight lashes. They're really long, but they don't hold a curl. So you would never know how long they are. And it wasn't until I found the tubing mascara from Thrive Cosmetics. So like I actually look like I'm alive some days. Thrive Cosmetics is luxury beauty that gives back.

47:41Several social media users posted videos of the installment and documented the cast portraying their characters in their makeshift office space in the center of the train station. So it's just like this glass box and all the actors are in there like kind of literally larping their characters for the show to drum up some excitement for their new show Severance season two. You know it's hard to stand out when there's so many TV shows and this is a popular show. I watched the beginning of the last season. it gave me such a pit I had to turn it off I found myself like I'm not a person who suffers from like depression or anxiety I felt actively depressed and really anxious like why it's just it's a show about like a very high stress job um I think they work in finance I think it's in the UK don't correct me if I'm wrong I watched it a really long time ago um and it's like very high stakes and it's the way it's filmed is like very gray it's just like I really like had a very physical reaction to the show me and Ben were like we were really disturbed for the rest of the night and I just never forgot it I never want to watch it people love it and there's been a it was a long time ago so there's been a lot of hype for the second season and I think that you know there's so many tv shows out there and it's hard to stand out when it comes to promoting your your content I thought this was kind of brilliant it of course reminded me of where Carrie met Alexander Petrovsky where that artist was like sitting in a glass box for 24 hours no food no water you know like it was giving it was giving performance art it is performance art but these are you know artists performers and I think it's really putting them to work in a good way they're literally LARPing so I like that and I agree I now that I think of it I've heard of the show Severance I've seen like posters for it but it never really stood out from the heap of other shows yeah and this stands out now maybe I would have watched it if you said something better about it but no I don't want to feel those feelings you just described so I'll set this one out like maybe it was just me because I know people love it but like you guys I was seriously not okay was like anything disturbing happening or it's just like the fast-paced nature was like just giving you anxiety the fast the whole thing was giving me anxiety and then I remember at the very end of the first episode I don't want to say hold on let me just triple check

49:48episode one season one ending like I'm pretty sure something happened at the very end of the first episode that was disturbing really gave me a pit okay maybe not I don't remember I just remember like really having like a not good time while watching it understood well also Ben Stiller is like the director of this so he was like there like filming in Grand Central like having the best time yeah and i i'm happy for team severance like yeah i just feel like it's a particularly

50:31unglamorous task to like stand in grand central these are like celebrities like i've got who like seriously haven't been on a train and they haven't been on the train station like at the subway like i just imagine like when they got booked for this they were like oh no they haven't worked this hard in a while yeah like because it's very physical too like they had to be walking around being like whoa look at this file like I imagine while we're all enjoying it and like praising its marketing positives the actual people doing it were like this fucking blows yeah but they did it and I maybe they didn't have to and so I think that that is good and exciting for the fans of the show and we'll drum up more interest in the show for sure yeah it was giving the boy in the plastic bubble they were in this like actual clear box it was hilarious yeah that is really funny no it's smart and I liked it.

51:14Are you ready for our fifth and final story? Wow. I know. Bidding is such sweet sorrow. Sure. Well, Jen Shaw's prison sentence has been reduced again and she will be home before Thanksgiving 2026, reports are reporting. Not to sound like Sandra Bullock, but like harsher punishment for, you know, elder abuse. How would she keep getting out of prison so quick? I don't know. So she would be home in about less than two years and it's like this is she's doing her time she's not she's definitely not getting any leniency because of who she is and so she will likely come home when the show is still on the air I thought by the time she got out of prison this show would be long gone and it would just move on but no she will come back to this show how long will she have served she will when did she go in I believe it was eight-year sentence i think she she pled guilty in july 2022 so she went she got sentenced january 2023 and uh went to prison february 2023 and then by march her sentence was lessened by one year and now it has been so 2023 to 2026 three years and her original sentence was what am i correct in six and a half years got it so her okay and so I know every state is different so you can't compare like one person's sentence to another but I'm always thinking about the Chrisleys who got like such a harsh sentencing um and every time they appeal every time they get denied everything like they cannot catch a fucking break these people and their crimes were very similar to Jen Chas actually theirs were in my opinion a little bit lesser because they were stealing from banks like who gives a fuck she was stealing from like your grandma and that's pretty rough So I don't know.

53:01I know like everybody like, ha ha, Jen Shah. Like it's literally not funny, like not to be a narc, but like she literally stole from your grandma and like ruined several people's lives. Like the disabled, the elderly, like it's actually what she did. Cause I know when, when people commit financial crimes, we're like, well, you know, it's a victimless crime. Or like tax evasion celebrities, like Teresa Giudice, like who gives a fuck? Make the situation, rob the government. You're not gonna see me caring. But Jen Shah is like somebody who committed a financial crime I mean, like actually really hurt people and vulnerable people.

53:29So I don't like I don't see the memes that I'm like, ha ha. I'm like, oh, you're literally a criminal bitch. Like, bye. So do you think that they'll have her back on the show when she gets out? Of course. Yeah. Bravo doesn't give a fuck. No, they don't have like actual scruples when it comes to like morally bankrupt individuals. Plus the precedent is there. Teresa came back on the show after serving time. And I think for Bravo, it's like, well, you did the crime. You served your time. Why are we going to miss out on entertainment value? Yeah. and it's actually been very interesting to see the show go on without Jen Shaw and really prosper without her.

54:00Whereas like the show for Real Housewives of New Jersey was like very much in this terrible state of limbo until Teresa got back. Like they had these turn the twins and Amber Marchese. Like that was some of the darkest times on reality TV. But they didn't film without her. They waited for her. There was one season without her. I'm pretty sure they waited for her though. Like I know what you're talking about that season. It feels like she wasn't there. but then I remember reading like she was in prison for a year and they waited no fucking way okay hold on

54:40Teresa by the way you're 100 % right she never missed a season yeah so maybe she was laying low for one reason or another that season with the twins but she was there so Amber Mar Casey was on season six okay and so was tree wait that's so crazy that i don't remember it that way i remember there being like dire you thought that she was there because tree wasn't and the twins were there to fill tree's void yeah because they literally started filming when she came home from prison like that night cameras up so the real houses in new jersey focused on theresa melissa and dina dina returned after originally leaving the series in season two and former cast members jacqueline larita and kathy wakili appeared kathy wakili appeared periodically throughout the season but they were replaced as was caroline manzo by theresa amber marquise and nicole napolitano like those three turn housewives oh man that's like so interesting i always thought that they were the way i like i remember it mandela effect is like no they literally like we're trying to hold it down without tree and couldn't get arrested yeah no that's so funny oh my god okay never mind um well what i mean is that real house was just like said he's having a banner year people are obsessed with it and i actually found when jen was on and like actively being arrested actively being investigated by the fbi some of the worst fucking tv i've ever seen in my life when it should have been manifique it was literally they were handed they were literally all handed careers because of that like it was the things that dreams are made of for a reality star and the fact that they were all like fighting over dumb things that had nothing to do with Jen I'm like are you guys dumb like what's going on so the fact that like not a lot of time is going to pass between it felt like when even when Jen came back to the show would have been like six seven eight years that like the stories between them like whatever but now it's like all still kind of fresh they're all like always still like actively talking about and being asked about Jen I'm sure she reads about it in prison like she will have a laundry list of things to talk to Heather Day about like that I don't really want to go back there honestly.

56:41Well it's not like we're watching currently. Yeah but I heard it's so good. Yeah I have heard really good things but I guess she will be back whenever she comes out. But she's kind of like one of these people who's just like a agent of chaos where I think like she just wanted to make like the best craziest interesting TV but it didn't make sense. And I don't like that. Like I don't mind someone being like a supervillain when they're consistent but she would just like say things just to like disrupt a dinner. And it's like, this is not grounded in anything. Yeah, she wasn't grounded to any person even in particular.

57:13She didn't have like one friend that she wouldn't turn on. People like that who like seriously, just for the sake of entertaining, just try and comfort everyone and everything and say everything. It's actually like not fun to watch because like we're supposed to be believing that this is a group of friends who have like actual ties to one another. And when she was so untethered, just like coming for everyone, I was like. Yeah, that's not my favorite. I know it's like crazy and like pops up, but like it just doesn't, it's not, doesn't make sense to me. And there's no continuity. and that's what I found like frustrating it's like well literally three minutes ago you were saying the nastiest things but now you're crying that this is your best friend that's confusing yeah I like when I can see like clear alliances and like who's actually friends yeah because this is always supposed to be about like a group of women who are friends and now we've gotten to a point where it's such a job that like they're all virtual strangers until they meet yeah but and when they're not filming they don't hang it hits harder when it's like friendships and there's history even if the drama isn't good that's like Beverly Hills it's just two friends who are kind of like like ships passing right now and like they're missing each other but because the friendship like runs so deep it's what makes it interesting yeah now would be the time where for you to share whatever thing you had to say about the ending of juror number two oh my god so no not the ending necessarily but just the whole movie like i had such a pit for this guy like could there be a worse feeling in the world than like having killed someone and like facing like accidentally like you didn't do it on purpose you weren't drinking you like realize that you've killed someone like you have to go to jail like now i thought that at the end when they were showing us like flashback scenes i thought they were gonna make it so that he actually like wasn't guilty no wasn't guilty um because they were like they're showing him driving and the other the boyfriend driving then the boyfriend turns around and i was like wait that would have been actually really good if they like fucked with us and then he's but he still thinks that he did it and he looks so guilty that he ends up going to prison for a crime he didn't commit like I thought that would have been like a little bit more interesting yeah or it's like maybe someone hit her first and then he did hit a deer and it just happened to be like right after but that would have let us off the hook too much like morally we wouldn't have to like deal with this really hard question of like does this person who is a what was a drug dealer who has done like he is a criminal who's going to jail for something that he didn't do does Nicholas Holt deserve to go to jail when he has a baby at home and he's an otherwise good person like like an upstanding citizen yeah yeah it's also interesting I've never been a part of a jury um and I can only imagine what goes on in those rooms like for real like there definitely are people who like don't care who just want to get back to work like the lady was a bus driver like I felt her like seriously not my problem like I have kids I have a job like I gotta go um and there are a lot of dynamics at play so I felt like it was like getting behind the scenes and it wasn't a real jury room but I'm sure a lot of them go down like that um where some people are just like so stubborn some people are like so weak like one person says something they're like yeah and then oh actually you know yeah like I think it's such an interesting like dynamic of humanity that I thought they did a good job showing those like jury scenes too because it was like god people are such fucking losers yeah and it really is like one person it's worth a conversation right right but that's also the crazy thing about a jury is like there can't even be one it's not majority rules like it's not 12 to 1 it's 11 to 1 it's 12 to 0 right and then if one person won't budge it's a hung jury yeah

1:00:33he should have let it be a hung jury though no because if it's a hung jury he'll get tried again yeah like they can go back and reinvestigate that's what his lawyer was saying like getting this guy guilty like helps you personally yeah unless him opening his big fat mouth in the jury room and being like wow what are you doing unless they could get a not guilty verdict because that's like casey anthony right she was not guilty but they didn't go back out and try and find the person who did it yeah there wasn't any evidence like of anybody else that's the thing right like it was clearly casey but if he could have gotten not guilty and not had put the prosecutors onto the idea that it was someone else on that yeah they would have moved on so that would have been ideal but then when it was clear that list of cars was then added to the file like yeah there was mounting evidence like for like if you a new investigator sat down and looked like they would have said maybe it's not this guy maybe it could be someone else yeah yeah no it was definitely a good movie like it made you think me and Ben like we're talking about it a lot afterwards like what do you think is right it really posed this like ethical dilemma that there there is no right answer to like that boyfriend was like a woman beating drug dealer like bye yeah but prison for life he didn't he didn't do that he didn't do that thing yeah I I don't know I didn't really care like yeah no and it's like it's just a shame because this Nicholas Holtz has really changed his whole life and like one right accident right you know because I think if if under regular circumstances say he hadn't had that prior DUI and like this history and if he had come forward and said oh my gosh like I thought it was a DR blah blah blah Like he would have, there would have been consequences.

1:02:11No, but like it's also about intent. In the moment, if he knew he hit this girl and killed her and called the police and they showed up and they'd say like, oh, there's a inebriated woman walking in the rain in the dark on a curvy road. This guy takes a breathalyzer. He's not drunk. Like they probably wouldn't have pressed charges. So the crime itself like really wasn't a crime. Right. It's that's what they always say, bitch. It's the crime, not the cover up. No, but even if he came forward a year later and was like, oh my gosh, I think this was me. I thought I hit a deer. The issue is that he had ordered a drink at the bar.

1:02:43They can't prove that he didn't drink it. They know he's an alcoholic formerly and that he's had a DUI in the past. So it lines up to be something else because they couldn't breathalyze him. The movie was kind of brilliantly done. Like they put it, they made the situation like impossible. Yeah, it's an impossible situation. So I enjoyed it. I thought Zoe Deutsch was great. Yeah. Toni Collette, queen in her shoes. Like, it was good. J.K. Simmons. Yeah, that was an exciting touch. Kiefer Sutherland. Everybody was star-sided. It was star-sided. Clinton and Francesca. Francesca. And the boyfriend.

1:03:19What's he in? He looks familiar. I never saw him before. He looks like he was from an episode of SVU. Like a character actor. Oh, no. I've seen him in something. Let me find out what. And then we can bid you farewell. Gabriel Basso. There's no update on Matt James. So just like letting everyone know. Hillbilly Elegy. Yeah, he played J.D. Vance in Hillbilly Elegy. What? Yeah. Older J.D. Wait, that's so funny. Didn't you see that? I did see that movie, but I, by the way, nothing new for Matt James. No. But I did not recognize him in the slightest. I recognized him and that is so funny. And then also he was in one of my favorite movies, Barely Lethal, starring Haley Seinfeld and Dove Cameron.

1:04:02Of course, of course. And Sophie Turner. Don't sleep on that one. That's funny. That's our show. I think that's it. Tomorrow shall be a Cosdale Celebré. Oh, thank God. Like, we needed this. Yeah. So we bid you adieu. Adieu. I want to see that movie Night Bitch. With Amy Adams? Yeah. Okay, do it. yeah just reminded me because amy adams was in hillbilly elegy maybe you don't want to see it hold on why something bad happened i think it's just like not the sort of thing you would want to watch pregnant i don't know why i feel like it's just like a like a inside look and how hard it is to be a stay-at-home mom is that not it it's also like a horror an artist really an artist who pauses her career to be a stay-at-home mom seeks a new chapter in her life and encounters is just that when her nightly routine takes a surreal turn and her maternal instincts begin to manifest in canine form.

1:05:02Wait, what? She becomes a dog? Her maternal instincts manifest in canine form. Oh, it's not at all like how the movie was marketed towards me on TikTok. Like, I saw it as like this powerful film, like, It's magical realism. Magical realism. What? Oh my God, never mind. That reminds me of that show on Netflix with Drew Barrymore where they would eat people. The Santa Clarita diet. Yeah. All right, you guys, that's our show.
