Ansel Burch 2:17
We've heard the story like two times
Ben Silverio 2:21
maybe they don't remember it maybe in a while.
Ansel Burch 2:23
I also don't remember if I left it in both times.
Nicole Keating 2:27
I have like two stories so
Ansel Burch 2:30
incorrect. But that is a good
Nicole Keating 2:33
that is a good one. That's a good one
Ben Silverio 2:34
two stories until we get really drunk.
Nicole Keating 2:36
Yes, yes. And then I haven't
Ansel Burch 2:38
Then you get the other
Nicole Keating 2:40
But it is you know it's a great story because people love Greg Kinnear and having a hit him like that's the that's the nice little twist. People are like oh, what? Why? Why would you do that? Why?
Ben Silverio 2:53
You struck Mystery Men star Greg Kinnear
Nicole Keating 2:59
struck him I did struck him I did.
Ben Silverio 3:04
So if you don't know about this movie, our friends at Rotten Tomatoes. Give you the rundown. The film tells the story of a quick witted teen Mark contentedly living the same day in an endless loop, whose world is turned upside down when he meets mysterious Margaret also stuck in the time loop. Mark and Margaret form a magnetic partnership setting out to find all the tiny things that make one day perfect. What follows is a love story with a fantastical twist as The two struggled to figure out how and whether to escape their never ending day.
Nicole Keating 3:39
Much more detailed than I am DB but yeah, sorry. Great, Margaret, magnetically what what was our next tongue twister?
Ben Silverio 3:48
Mark and Margaret form a magnetic partnership
Nicole Keating 3:51
Mark and Margaret former magnetic partnership after me students
Ansel Burch 3:57
I got distracted by how his life got flipped turned upside down. Yeah.
Nicole Keating 4:02
Also this person needs like some sort of like, basic, like clarity of writing class. Not not great. Hey,
Ansel Burch 4:11
what is it? It was the interns first day
Nicole Keating 4:13
you know, and they got to put on a lot of content. Yeah, I get it. But I'm curious what the what our tomato meter says.
Ben Silverio 4:19
Certainly six percents audience score 72 percents Interesting. Yeah, that's
Nicole Keating 4:25
pretty damn good. Yeah.
Ben Silverio 4:28
I don't trust Rotten Tomatoes. Don't Don't trust Rotten Tomatoes.
Nicole Keating 4:31
I don't trust anything. Really.
Ansel Burch 4:36
It's 2023 Trust is dead.
Nicole Keating 4:37
I mean trust no one has been my like next tattoo idea when I finally save up enough money where would you put it? Yeah, I'm gonna get it. Like there's like a design with like I'm on my thigh. And there's a design with like us like a traditional UFO lifting a cow off the ground that I found on Pinterest you taught it says trust no one and a little banner on the bottom. You Yeah. And so So yeah, I mean, I don't I don't trust any anything until I watch it for myself. Also, like, I don't know, so many of movie critics are idiots. I mean, wow, by you. You're the good. I mean, you, you You've obviously read a lot of criticism as well. You can fact that like, some of these people are literally like turning in book reports. And a lot of they're like, this is my review.
Ben Silverio 5:31
I feel like a lot of critics forget who these movies are for, you know, so they're unfairly judging them against fucking Scorsese and bullshit, you know, but like a Pixar movie doesn't need to be compared to Tarantino. Yeah, you know? Absolutely. Remember who the audience is,
Nicole Keating 5:51
you have to remember who the audience is. But I do think it is like, you know, I always think that people who like drive for a living are the worst drivers like bus drivers, Uber drivers, anything like that, because they just drive so much. They don't fucking care anymore. And so you see enough movies, you just don't fucking care.
Ansel Burch 6:06
Probably true.
Nicole Keating 6:08
I hated this. I hate my life. There are too many movies, goodbye.
Ansel Burch 6:13
I will say it only took two months of being an Uber driver. Before I started just flipping you is in the middle of the
Nicole Keating 6:19
streaming seriously, you gotta I really do feel like you just stopped caring. And you're like,
Ansel Burch 6:23
I know I can pull this off because I've done it 12 times today.
Ben Silverio 6:30
So one of the first things that I wanted to bring up about the map of tiny little things like perfect timing, perfect things.
Nicole Keating 6:37
So many small little itty bitty, we map. We perfect thing.
Ben Silverio 6:44
Yes. The first thing that I wanted to bring up about the map of tiny perfect things is that star Kyle Allen reminds me of a young John Cena. Oh my god, you're right. The job and also the comedic chops.
Nicole Keating 7:01
He really is almost a dead ringer. Like they could do they could do a brothers thing.
Ben Silverio 7:06
Or like a father son thing.
Nicole Keating 7:09
I know Kyle Allen from American Horror Story, Apocalypse. So I did not. I didn't really get out of that zone.
Ben Silverio 7:18
I did not know this because but I wanted to watch this movie. He plays Romeo in the modern retelling of Rosalind.
Nicole Keating 7:24
Yeah, I'm interested in that as well. And I think he'd be a good Romeo because like you said comedic chops. Like he's, he's a guy that he's got a very handsome face like John Cena. But he's got that that comedy that I think really elevates it above. Yeah, above just being a pretty boy, you know?
Ben Silverio 7:41
Right. You know, he and he was also in Spielberg's West Side Story. Oh, well see, I still haven't seen that. I haven't either. But when I read that, I was just like, Oh, I could see him being musical and all that stuff.
Nicole Keating 7:55
I could see me having a huge crush on him when I was 17. Um,
Ansel Burch 8:00
he looks like he got cast in a lot of things. Yeah.
Nicole Keating 8:02
Well, it's like I definitely would have wanted to make out with him in theater class.
Ben Silverio 8:06
But Kathryn Newton is much younger.
Nicole Keating 8:08
2626. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah,
Ben Silverio 8:11
Catherine Newton. I know from me and the Wasp quantum media, obviously. So seeing Cassie Lang in this. I don't want to say quirky because like, quirky has
Nicole Keating 8:26
a bad has exactly this connotation. Right. But it is like, I don't know. Okay, so first things first. I love this movie. Yes. Great. is a
Ansel Burch 8:37
great place to start. Yes, we should start more of our reviews. Or did you not like this?
Nicole Keating 8:42
I really I really thought that this was it was charming. Yes, it was interesting in the fact that it like actually had twists and turns that I didn't expect. Um, and it was just a really wonderful, like, first love teen romance kind of thing. And also, I hope, really hope this isn't first love, I really hope they stay together. Because I swear to God, if they went through all of this, stay together, I will kill someone.
Ben Silverio 9:13
But also like, this is indicative of those movies from the 90s and 2000s that were under 100 minutes. That told a really charming story, you know, and it doesn't require too much brain capacity. You know, but like, if you wanted to delve a little deeper into this movie, you probably could but like, on the surface, it's it's just it's a nice love story.
Nicole Keating 9:41
It's a really good love story. And it's very, very well structure and very funny.
Ben Silverio 9:47
And also very romantic. I think. There were very romantic elements about this until he was really pushing the relationship where it was just like, you know, hey, if you had to push that hard. Maybe you should back off.
Ansel Burch 10:02
That might be the ultimate message of all time loop romances Don't push it. mean, we've watched three of them. And that seems to be the running theme.
Ben Silverio 10:13
I mean, that's true. Now that you bring that up, that is very true, we'll
Nicole Keating 10:16
say in a way that, you know, because this movie was made in 2021, he didn't push it in a way that like ever made me feel uncomfortable. It's true. Like, as soon as he got the actual like, nope, signal, he was like,
Ben Silverio 10:29
got the point. He was gone. He wasn't like ducky. And you know,
Nicole Keating 10:33
and I mean, it really was like, they were obviously flirting and obviously liked each other and all that stuff. So even him attempting to kiss her the first time was not, it wasn't like he was totally misreading the situation and being a creep. And then again, as soon as she was like this, no, just wasn't feeling it. Yeah. And of course, you know, we know now having seen the whole movie that and I mean, I think even like dramatic irony sense. You understand while you're watching it, that there's something going on with her that doesn't involve him. That is, we, as the audience understand that. So we know that it's not about him. She's not saying no to him specifically. And you know, they did it. I think if I had if I were younger, and had seen fewer movies, I might not have guessed that the doctor wasn't her boyfriend. But they did. So they did have a little like false. Oh, maybe it's because she's seeing someone right now. I feel like both of the movies I've done on this podcast so far have a certain nostalgia value and a certain a certain level of Camp they're appertaining on to. And this is the first movie where I'm like, this is just a good movie. Like you should just watch this one. I will say some things that like from the beginning, I was like, I think I'm gonna like this because first of all his room perfect. opening shots of his room. I was like, I already get this character show. Don't tell. I understand. Go to filmmaking.
Ben Silverio 12:02
Starting it in media res was a good point. Ding ding
Nicole Keating 12:05
ding Yeah, that was that was that was that was also one of my notes. I was like, I'm so glad we're starting mid time.
Ansel Burch 12:12
Around do the thing. Yeah,
Nicole Keating 12:14
Exactly. And you can see the moments where you're like, Oh, he's doing that because the more he knows, and you can just you can already pick out what those moments are. And so I really I thought that was a really smart choice who directed this this romp?
Ben Silverio 12:30
It was in Samuels who doesn't really have many credits, if any
Nicole Keating 12:36
Aaron Samuel no isn't but it's not the boyfriend from Mean Girls.
Ben Silverio 12:41
It is Aaron Samuels.
Nicole Keating 12:42
Thank you. Thank you. I thought so. I don't know this. Ian Samuels, but this was a a lot of a lot of a lot of good choices were made.
Ben Silverio 12:49
So he directed a number of shorts, but the other big thing he's done was Sierra Burgess is a loser. Never heard of it. It started starring Shannon Purser from Stranger Things because that
Nicole Keating 13:08
BB Oh. Loves bars. Seriously, still mad about that? Yeah, right. I mean, literally one of my notes is just adorable. Just the word adorable. Next bullet point.
Ben Silverio 13:24
Oh, I think I got it. So show don't tell right? Yes. When they literally tell us that it's not his story. Ah, I thought I would be annoyed by it, but it fit really well. Because of the transition into Margaret's story. You know, I didn't think it was too egregious. You know, one of my notes was typical white male thinking the story is his
Nicole Keating 13:55
I really liked that because I honestly from the beginning of the movie was like, why are we not getting more of what she's about? Why are we not getting more of what she's about? And then when he said that, I was like, all because that's the point. Like this is this is being done on purpose. Yeah. And so I really appreciated that. The music in this movie was fantastic. Yeah, I love the songs. I was like, I like the band. Kishi. Bashi, which had a song in this movie, and I literally wrote a song. And I thought for a minute I was like, Is the dog doing the time loop? is doing the time lib, which also I've known so many dogs named chewy and Chewbacca. I've never known a dog named Chewbacca. And this is a crime. a crime against, dogmannity
Ansel Burch 14:44
dear all of our friends.
Nicole Keating 14:46
Chewbacca. Chewbacca, it's right. It's great, which is I also so I was getting ready while I was watching this and so the credits played in full so I've got to the end where all the logos are and everything. Chewbacca is some ones dog because it is the logo for like one of the I took a picture really like a little like cartoon of that dog's face is one of the things where it's all like PGA this this studio, this studio, this studio, he's like in the bottom right.
Ansel Burch 15:13
I wonder if it's Kiva Goldman's dog, maybe,
Nicole Keating 15:15
maybe that would be trash on mom. Just it's very charming. There's so many, there's a lot of like very clever lines, a lot of a lot of clever turns of phrase. I say again, do they get hangovers?
Ben Silverio 15:34
Yeah, that's, that's a very good question.
Ansel Burch 15:37
I mean, time repeats.
Nicole Keating 15:38
Yeah, that's true. Yeah, it would clean if it clears
Ansel Burch 15:41
It's a new body, technically.
Ben Silverio 15:43
But like, also, the thing that I was thinking of with the resetting of time is that he remakes that map every day, every single day, and that's really deep. He remembers her phone number every day after he gets it. And I'm like, I barely remember
Nicole Keating 15:59
to ask my best friend for her email address. I don't know if it's in autofill. I don't know what yeah, why would I? Why would I? Why would I remember it?
Ben Silverio 16:08
Right? Because like, if I'm texting someone, you know, they're at my phone already. You know, so like, I don't have anyone's phone numbers memorized anymore. Absolutely not.
Ansel Burch 16:17
Granted, we establish that he's been through this time loop many, many times before. Yeah. He's probably used to like, Okay, if this is going to be important, and I need it tomorrow, yeah. He's committed to memory.
Nicole Keating 16:30
Well, I think that there's a certain also, like, if he's so good at art, there's probably like, he's probably just got the got a certain observational sense. Already got well,
Ben Silverio 16:39
we know that his observation skills aren't great, because, you know, the thing going on with his dad. Yeah, like, he's very selective on what he wants to. He wants to run. Obviously, he wants to remember Margaret's phone number, but like the fact that his dad got fired and didn't quit because of midlife crisis. You know, it was just, it was very good character building. It was, you know, showing how selfish mark is, but like, in an endearing way.
Nicole Keating 17:07
Unlike he's not unredeemable, right, just a teenage boy. Like, but he's a teenage boy who is maturing by force through having to live the same day for like, I mean, 1000s of times. I mean, how many? How long do you guys think this actually was? That was something that I was curious about? Like, is this like three years?
Ansel Burch 17:30
I mean, that's always a good question. Time Luke movies, but like, based on the fact that he was like, comfortable with it, but not tired of it. Like he seems really content. That's, like, early, right? Yeah, that feels like a maybe a month worth of days sort of deal. Because I feel like after a month or so you're like, okay, then how
Nicole Keating 17:49
long do they spend together? I felt like that was like yours. Because they do. Because they because they do so much they do. They do a lot. And the things that they learned, I feel like you need a longer time to learn. So I felt like it was at least a year.
Ben Silverio 18:06
And also like, he has to get that all the cute things that he does down to a science. So he has to have tried them out multiple times, in order to bribe the art club and get all the snacks and turn the gym into the moon. Yeah, like you don't do that in one afternoon, where you have 16 hours. That's
Nicole Keating 18:25
a that's a that's like a month long.
Ansel Burch 18:28
Yeah, right. Basically, that's fair. Maybe he's just got a lot of patience. Because like he kept striking
Ben Silverio 18:33
out with the girl at the pool. Yeah, over and over again, that he got down to the moment when he knew to grab her hands. So that had to have happened so many times. And I think that's that's what the initial shock was for him when, when Margaret showed up, you know, he was just like, What the fuck?
Nicole Keating 18:51
I need to know what products does she use because her hair is phenomenal. And when he said she had frizzy hair, I was like, That is crazy hair. Don't even know. Give me the phone number of your hair guy. Perfect curls perfect curls.
Ben Silverio 19:10
I wrote down the line. I don't want the day to seize me.
Nicole Keating 19:15
I loved that quote. I thought that was one you could like take in and use it for Yeah. life advice. Yeah, this is again this this movie is quite well written. You know, I think they made it they made liberal use of the Montage. But what else are you going to do on a timeless past? Several montages and I love a montage. So I'm not going to be mad at that. I mean, honestly, I was just sad that it was sad.
Ben Silverio 19:47
Yeah, I mean, let's talk about it. The whole reason that it's sad is because Margaret started the time loop because she wasn't ready for her mom to die.
Nicole Keating 19:56
Yep, her mom played by none other than CSI is GA x Oh, where I was like, Why do I recognize this woman and then her second appearance? I was like, it's the lady from CSI. Because I've watched too many crimes. And yes, she. So I mean, it's Margaret's fault. Why does she have this magical power? We don't know. It's not explained. But I feel like we don't care.
Ansel Burch 20:22
Yeah. Sometimes just wanting it hard enough. Like, in big. Yeah, like big and I mean, we haven't talked about it on the pod yet, but we were about to so I did watch the movie, but was it time after time? Oh, yeah. Read movie, right. Yes. Yeah. He just like, I super want to be in the in the past. And so it happens. Yeah. Yeah, that force of will.
Ben Silverio 20:45
But I kind of knew that it was going to be cancer, because they kept hammering the cure. Yes. They kept going back to that. And then when she looks at him and says, but you didn't cure cancer. Like I thought she
Nicole Keating 21:00
was gonna be the one who was dying.
Ben Silverio 21:01
I thought about that.
Nicole Keating 21:02
I was pleasantly surprised that that was not the thing. And I also thought it was gonna be like a, I'm not gonna kiss you because then you'll fall in love with me and I'm gonna die. Wasn't like Yeah, exactly, exactly. I thought it was gonna want to remember me. And I was like, I'm glad they didn't do that. I'm glad that the central relationship had a happy ending. And I I thought it was really touching. I cried a lot. Drink cry when you're sad. Sad. I love to cry.
Ben Silverio 21:38
Another line from the movie was where is that creeping sense of failure coming from? Oh, man. Like,
Nicole Keating 21:47
Margaret talking about aging was like, oh, Wolf.
Ben Silverio 21:51
It was very real conversation.
Nicole Keating 21:53
The dude Lev Grossman. You hit me where I live. Yeah, I feel like if I had if I had been a teenager when this movie would have come out, this would have been like, a favorite. I loved sad love stories back then. Yeah. Now real life is too horrible. So I need superheroes and explosions, headlock.
Ben Silverio 22:12
So
Nicole Keating 22:13
soccer. Men crying while they play soccer. And Dick's tied together.
Ben Silverio 22:18
Dick's tied together.
You said that? Mighty Ducks. Exactly. Ducks.
Somebody picked that
Nicole Keating 22:35
I was. I was Dare I say instantly esta vez
Ansel Burch 22:39
Oh my god. There's our merch. There's our first shirt, you know, instantly.
Ben Silverio 22:48
Oh, man.
Nicole Keating 22:51
I did. I was sad when she friendzone him. I also wrote, don't go to art school. scam. It's a scam scam.
Ben Silverio 23:01
It's all made up. You can
Nicole Keating 23:03
go to a liberal arts school and be an art major. But like actual like art school, it was like a scam. Like, if you're just if you're good at it, just do it. Like if you want to go to school to get like the history and everything like that. Otherwise, just draw?
Ansel Burch 23:17
Yeah. Yeah, I guess it depends on whether you want to draw or teach drawing or like, exactly if you're into conservative conservative conservatorship. Yeah. Let's see solvency.
Ben Silverio 23:31
As I'm realizing now, a lot of my notes were just different quotes that I wrote down.
Nicole Keating 23:37
Very well written, it's very quotable. And the quotes are pretty damn serious. Yeah, times. Like, it's also funny. There are a lot of really funny lobbyists. So sad. Because they make up for it by being funny.
Ben Silverio 23:50
Yes. Like the bit about the dad eating ice cream later that day, and then back
Nicole Keating 23:58
off, I love that the Chubby Hubby paid off. That was a good pay.
Ben Silverio 24:02
But the the I think the line of the movie that was just like, damn, bro. So terrible to lose someone. And if you don't face it, if you don't deal with it, then you just end up losing yourself
Nicole Keating 24:15
a punch in the gut.
Ben Silverio 24:18
And I mean, full disclosure, we have a friend who recently lost their mom and like re watching this at this time was just such a like I'm feeling for them, you know, like feeling for myself and then feeling for them. And it was it was almost the same progression that Mark went through where he was mostly thinking of himself and then thinking of others finally, you know, like, showing up at his sister's game.
Nicole Keating 24:45
I loved that and it actually like she didn't they didn't win the game. It didn't seem like but oh, so it wasn't three zero wasn't three now. Yep. Ted last Oh, football.
Ben Silverio 24:55
That's total football.
Nicole Keating 24:56
That's total football cheering for your sister. That's total little football. And I do you know, it left me with a good feeling at the end.
Ben Silverio 25:05
Yeah, absolutely. And this definitely would have been up there with like 10 Things I Hate About You and she's all that when I was growing up I think I think so he's really into like Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist Perks of Being a Wallflower.
Nicole Keating 25:20
I very much identified with Margaret, in a lot of ways the AP math thing when she was like, I'm a math girl and her stupid, frizzy hair. And I was like, I like this math girl. I liked this AP math girl. And one of my notes was also just I love math. So I really liked that. i This is why I thought we would go on more teenage tangents. So I guess I've been good, because I was like, I love her so much. How do you thank you? I'm proud of me, too.
Ansel Burch 25:52
Did she read as accurate to your math girl memories?
Nicole Keating 25:57
Probably, I would say so. I mean, just like I just I loved the sort of disaffected attitude, I loved that she was. So he was like, we need to make this map. And she was like, Okay, well, so we need the system. We need a methodology. And we need to lay the sound like or we could just look for cool stuff. I was like, shut the fuck up.
Ansel Burch 26:19
You asked. She's doing it.
Ben Silverio 26:22
Speaking. Speaking of the map, turning the map into the MacGuffin, by the end,
Nicole Keating 26:27
I thought that was great. I like I didn't think the Mac was going to be and he really did a good job, which
Ben Silverio 26:33
goes to show that Margaret is way smarter than I am. Like when she was doing the thing with the row.
Nicole Keating 26:40
She's like, going to like, okay, so if this is the point that is missing in this geometric figure, this is the time How did you? I don't know why. I didn't study test. Right.
Ben Silverio 26:53
But like, suspension of disbelief was enough that I went with it anyway. It didn't bother me. Yeah, you know, and but I knew what that point was gonna be. Of course, I fucking knew it had to be the fucking pool. You know?
Nicole Keating 27:09
Well, it's got to be the pool. It's got to be the case. It's got to be the whole thing. You know that? Like, I mean, that's kind of it's, like, faded from the beginning of the movie. But it was
Ansel Burch 27:17
unsatisfying if it came out of nowhere.
Nicole Keating 27:19
Right. Worse check offs kiss
Ben Silverio 27:21
when you put a shotgun on the wall. Yeah.
Nicole Keating 27:25
Um, and, yeah, I just really liked it. I was there. I was thoroughly charmed. I'm glad this is what the kids are getting these days. And I'm a little jealous that kids in my day didn't get this type of
Ben Silverio 27:39
it's true. It was very mature when she was just like, This is what I can give you. And he was like, all take it. Like he'd rather have her in his life as a friend than not at all. Yeah, and that's extremely mature. Make it fucking weird. He did make it fucking weird, you know? And that's something that we didn't get in our movies back then. They always made it we always made
Ansel Burch 28:00
it weird. It was they always made it weird. And then got away with it.
Nicole Keating 28:02
Made it weird. got away with it. And we thought it was funny. Because that's what we told was fun. We were told was funny. I mean, I was listening to you guys's episode on Bring it on. And I was just like, oh my god, I forgot about that one guy who just basically like, fingers the other cheerleader randomly whenever he wants to. And that was a joke. Digit slipped. Yeah, that was a joke. Like we were like, that means these fingers here. Whoa. But no kids have it. Kids have it. I'm I'm sometimes sad. I'm not a kid these days. Yeah, but also
Ben Silverio 28:34
kids these days had to mature a lot faster than we did
Nicole Keating 28:38
go to high school during the pandemic and we had a lot of luxury that they don't have tick tock and Instagram where we only live journal. I barely had a MySpace. I had I had Live Journal and almost I had a MySpace but
Ben Silverio 28:54
so I learned how to code and then forgot it all.
Ansel Burch 28:58
I learned to code for Live Journal that was
Ben Silverio 29:01
well I did that too. I guess. What was your? What was your song on your profile? Did you have one?
Nicole Keating 29:07
I don't think I have one because I didn't really use MySpace that much. I was Live Journal and then it was Facebook because we we got like, when I went into college, we were one of the schools that had Facebook. Ah, it was almost straight into straight interface. Really?
Ansel Burch 29:22
You skipped the MySpace?
Nicole Keating 29:24
Again, I had one I just didn't really ever use it. Yeah, and also most of my friends were on Live Journal so
Ben Silverio 29:29
yep. My senior year was when Facebook opened it up to everyone well no no just to yes I think because that would have explained now we got it yeah, you know because we got to have Facebook right before college so we like connected with people yeah we're gonna be college with
Nicole Keating 29:49
our yeah Our school had like we got we got it like the summer before college so I was able to like friend my room. Really?
Ansel Burch 29:56
You got it the summer before? Man I didn't get it until like part way through maybe even end of freshman year
Nicole Keating 30:04
because because, you know, they were Harvard and Zuckerberg is pretentious. So they opened it up to like the top tier schools first. Right? Your Northwest. Yeah, and I'm not. That's it's disgusting and I'm not joking. But yeah, really we're like, we're only gonna let like the people in who are in these like specific universities. So I think maybe you have I might have had it as well.
Ansel Burch 30:26
I might also have waited a while before adopting I don't remember. Right there. I
Nicole Keating 30:30
got it. I want it on. I love the fucking internet. Right away. I wanted to friend everybody in my fucking dorm.
Ansel Burch 30:37
Poking people
Nicole Keating 30:38
Oh, yeah. Do you know that Dave and I have been dating so long that one of the reasons I knew he liked me was that he poked me on Facebook. Yeah, yeah. Big.
Ben Silverio 30:53
I remember being in this ongoing poke war with this girl. And it was just poke war all the time. I'll constantly poke so you,
Nicole Keating 31:03
you that's how you know that website was made for flirting. Oh, man, if
Ansel Burch 31:09
I I was this today years old when I realized that was what that was a poke. It's definitely a flirt. Man. I missed a lot.
Nicole Keating 31:19
Unless you're a lot of potential ups. Literally doing it to like one of your like, actual friends is a joke. No, no. If it's like somebody you like, it's definitely or like somebody like You're like kind of flirting with somebody and then they poke you. It's definitely a sign like it is on? Yeah. Also, again, if I had had this movie in high school, I think I would have like been a little too obsessed with it. Because of again, the hair the math girl. He's really cute.
Ben Silverio 31:49
It kind of felt like 500 Days of Summer to me.
Nicole Keating 31:53
I have not seen that movie. Oh
Ben Silverio 31:54
my god. I loved it when
Nicole Keating 31:57
it's like movies. You know this is that are scary. And I watch movies where things blow up.
Ansel Burch 32:03
There are dragons. Or there
Nicole Keating 32:05
are dragons. Yes, dragons are also but dragons fire very similar to explode kind of like explosions. Yeah, but haven't seen any of the Fast and Furious
Ben Silverio 32:15
movie either. You've been friends with work for this long and he hasn't made you watch any of them.
Nicole Keating 32:19
I tried. I tried to watch the first one and now we thought it was boring because honestly Yeah, it is boring. It doesn't get good until the third one even in action movies. car chases are not my favorite. I just didn't like it just it feels so
Ben Silverio 32:32
fake. Once the rock joins them they turned into superhero movies
Nicole Keating 32:36
that's the scene this is what I've heard and I'm like I'm maybe I'll be there for the superhero part. But I honestly just I don't know
Ansel Burch 32:42
maybe that's our next podcast from Indecisionist Productions. Watching all the Fast and Furious movies
Nicole Keating 32:49
I'd be so actually furious
Ansel Burch 32:54
we quickly get furious will be the name of the podcast
Nicole Keating 32:57
I am fastly.
Ansel Burch 33:02
Furious so quick.
Nicole Keating 33:05
sight was furious. I just don't like the car chases. Because it's all just like, either stunt driving or like green screen. Like,
Ben Silverio 33:18
if it was just stunt driving. I'd be impressed. But because it's green spring green screen a lot of CGI. Yeah, exactly. Because it's mostly that it's just like okay,
Ansel Burch 33:27
is it the one where they jumped the tank off the bridge?
Nicole Keating 33:32
Maybe in Live Free or Die Hard. They crash a truck into a helicopter?
Ansel Burch 33:37
I mean that's just cool. We were just talking about Wolverine
Ben Silverio 33:43
motorcycles Yeah.
Nicole Keating 33:46
See that's that's what that's what
Ansel Burch 33:48
did you crash oh, land vehicle into an air vehicle. That's that's just a good time.
Nicole Keating 33:52
I I just I know. I know that if I had seen this movie in high school, I would have been very fastly furious that I liked it.
Ben Silverio 34:03
But yeah, like I see a little bit of 500 days of summer in this in the sense that Mark is the evolution of Joseph Gordon Levitt's character in 500 days of summer because it for Tom, I believe that was his character's name.
Nicole Keating 34:21
I thought his name was 500
Ben Silverio 34:25
the other character's name is the title. But uh, but when somebody tells him straight up like I'm not looking for a relationship don't fall in love with me. Tom basically ignores it and sees whatever Manic Pixie Dream Girl shit that he Yeah, you know, that he wants to see. But you know, when Mark sees that he catches himself and it's just like, I'd rather have you as a friend. Why not? I mature enough to take himself out of that situation
Nicole Keating 34:53
very much appreciated that even though she very could have easily been a manic pixie dream girl, that I mean, she was even still I like that Margaret subvert subverted that trope I thought that they did. And again, I thought like from the beginning I was like, I'm going to be annoyed by this, aren't I? She's going to be a manic pixie dream girl, but then at every turn, I think they did that on purpose. Or they styled her in the way that they styled her because she looks like she's going to be as though de Chanel. And then at every turn She's literally like, nope, nope, nope.
Ansel Burch 35:22
I think even in 2021 it was too late to try to pull Oh, yeah, like you have to remain self aware enough if you're if you're going to even approach that territory to know not to
Ben Silverio 35:33
talk about being self aware this movie just like yes, they knew what they were doing. Groundhog Day. Oh my god. Tomorrow.
Nicole Keating 35:41
Which I had forgotten about Edge of Tomorrow until they mentioned it in this movie.
Ansel Burch 35:46
I'm amazed we haven't watched that movie. I thought work would have picked it and really did shocking shocking still might who knows? I'm good movie,
Nicole Keating 35:54
do they? They still when they do they still call it live die repeat on the I feel like when it came out on TV did Yeah. With a different title.
Ansel Burch 36:04
I don't remember. I feel like they Yeah, they did fuck around with the titles a bunch on that one. But I don't remember where they landed.
Ben Silverio 36:11
Didn't they do something wonky with a sequel to
Ansel Burch 36:14
there was a made a sequel. So first, I'm hearing of it. Yeah, I
Nicole Keating 36:19
had no idea. Do they get stuck in a time loop again? Can I would just fucking kill myself. Like,
Ansel Burch 36:27
time loop me once. Shame on you. Fool me twice.
Ben Silverio 36:30
Oh, you know, there was a sequel in development. But it hasn't been made yet.
Nicole Keating 36:36
