Speaker 1: Welcome to but I'm a Lesbian, the podcast where we
serve allt batty SaaS, queer film reviews, and everything in between.
Speaker 2: Whether you were a baby, gay or.
Speaker 3: A queer elder, We're here, We're clear, and we're diving
deep into all things lesbian. We're your hosts, Caitlin and Angelina.
Get ready for some sappix serotonin. So on today's episode,
we are discussing the twenty sixteen Brazilian short ish film
about two women meeting. It is narrated and directed and
also written by Oswaldo Montenegro, and it's available on YouTube.
Since this movie features someone with a hidden talent, I
was inspired to ask you, Angelina, if you have hidden talents. No,
I'm not being like any like, I.
Speaker 1: Don't know if it's a talent, and I don't know
if I'm like actually, but ever since I was younger,
like I remember one time going to the doctor, and
you know when you sit on like the little table,
I was just like leaning because I was kind of
tired of like sitting up right.
Speaker 2: I had bad posture too as a kid, So.
Speaker 1: I'd be like and they'd be like sit up, and
I'm like, my back fucking hurds, so I'd go like
i'd lean, but apparently my elbow like went in and
the doctor was like, oh my god, that's so weird.
It looks like your elbow's like breaking. And I was like, oh,
She's like, are you double joined it? And I was like, girl, no,
I don't think so.
Speaker 2: And I always thought about that, and I felt like
kind of like self conscious because sometimes in pictures when I'm.
Speaker 1: Like leading on my elbows, like they're like are you okay?
Speaker 2: But it feels like comfortable. So I don't know, it's
not talent.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like more like a party trick. Yeah,
I'm like, look at my elbow twists. Have you heard
or seen the TikTok videos about septum arms septim arm Okay,
I don't really know what it means. I think I
have them because it's like a body shaming type of
thing like, and I think it means when you have
like your like elbow is kind of like a little
bit like that, Like it's not like a skinny person elbows.
I don't know, it's like like a little fat roll
on my elbow. I don't know, tell me what septum
arms are, but I'm and if I have them, please
don't be mean about it. But it's okay. But uh,
I think I think that's what it means. Okay, Anyway,
I don't my special talent is having a chubby elbows.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: It is interesting though, because my whole life I've never
been like skinny. And I was thinking the other day
about like skinny people's knees, and they're so weird looking
to me because I've always had chunky person news and
with skinny people's knees are so bony. And then the
same with like skinny armpits, they really are a pit,
they really like the actual yeah yeah, And I was like, oh,
that's never I have. I have regular little chubby bunny
arm pits. I don't know. Is something interesting that that
I learned the other day. And I guess to each
their own about their arm pits. I like my arm pits.
I think I'm gonna get them tattooed, but I'm.
Speaker 2: Scared that'd be so cool.
Speaker 3: I want to, are you ticklish, Like, do you think
it'd be like kind of hard?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I feel like that'd be hard to like sick, just
because I can't just hurt. I think I guess i'd
be like, You're like, I'm worried about what if it
doesn't necessarily hurt so much? But it tickles because I
hate that, and I'm gonna be like, I'm sorry, I
will just pay you for the inconvenience, but I can't
go through with this.
Speaker 3: You get like ticklish when you get pedicures, yes, yeah.
Speaker 1: Which is why I stop getting them because that felt
really bad when you're wiggling and they're looking at you
like I like, no. Once the last time I got it,
which was like years ago, I went with my friend
and I was struggle so hard to keep my foot
like still, but I was just like, no, stop because
I don't want to make it harder for them.
Speaker 2: And so she was doing it. She's like laughing because
she's like, oh, you're ticklish, and I was like, oh
my god, yeah.
Speaker 1: And I thought she was going to say something about that,
but apparently she said my foot is too curved, so
she was hitting it to make it flat and I
was like, she's like, uncurve your foot and I was like,
that's my foot, Like I don't know. I was like
I'm not curving it, like it's just regular, and she
was like hitting it.
Speaker 2: She was like punching it, and I was.
Speaker 3: Like, okay, what she's like, huh, like with people's feet.
Speaker 1: She was punching my foot and I was like, oh,
I was like, okay, kind of okay. I was like, oh,
she's like it's like a violent She was like genuinely
like curious.
Speaker 2: She was like why, and I was like, what do
you mean why? I was like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: She was convinced that I was like flexing my foot
and I was like that would hurt me.
Speaker 3: But okay, that's so weird. I'm sorry that happens.
Speaker 2: It's okay. Now I don't go anymore. I'll just take
care of my curf fee at home. I can do
my own.
Speaker 3: I what was I gonna say? I guess I don't
have any secret talents either, so I was hoping you
did with this question. I do have. Well, I can
sing like Jessica Simpson.
Speaker 2: We estauish that.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's actually probably not as good. I think it's
more like Britney spears during like her auto tune era. Yeah,
I could do that. Oh blabe lamb, but you just
have to be breathy. You're welcome. I'm waiting for my
record deal. No, but I do have cool like body talents,
like since you mentioned that, Okay, let me see if
I can do I'm curiouss like Baltimore. I can suck
my nostrils in Okay, I need to see this locking kilan.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's stupid.
Speaker 3: I used to always do it when I did to
show people.
Speaker 5: Were they like, oh my god, Kaitlyn, you like exactly. No,
Baltimore wasn't even a thing yet. That's how lamb but
I used to always do. But okay, another thing I
can't do.
Speaker 2: My wife is.
Speaker 3: Probably gonna be mad at me for showing this, but
I'm gonna show it. I'm like, what are you gonnaw?
I could do the belly roll like a belly Okay, I'm.
Speaker 2: Gonna like this.
Speaker 3: Can you see? Can they see?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Shakira, your hips don't lie.
Speaker 3: I can do it. Oh my god, you actually a
little hard to talk. I do it because like moving
my little stomach muscles that are under my layer of fat.
Speaker 2: That is hidden talent if I ever saw one.
Speaker 3: Yes, So I'm available for a belly dancing gigs. That's
the only thing I do, you know, man, if you
want me to go on stage and show people my
nose trick. I can do that too. When I was
in school, there was like I didn't do this in
the talent show. Okay, I don't care where talent shows,
you know, in elementary school, and one kid did nose singing, oh,
and that was his talent. So he had the microphone
really close to his nose and he would go like that.
Speaker 2: So he was just hung.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know. I don't know what
he's up to. Did you ever do a talent show?
I did do a talent show, but as a class
not like by myself.
Speaker 2: We did uh. We did a lot of plays. Actually.
Speaker 1: I used to like doing it, even though I was
like very shy, but once like the like it started,
I locked in and I was like doing everything right.
Speaker 2: And I would get mad at the other people, like my.
Speaker 1: Other classmates, for not like taking it seriously, Like I
look around and I'm like, you're fucking up the rhythm
right now.
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't like this.
Speaker 1: But we did the last one I think we did
was like reciting the States, you know that songla.
Speaker 2: Arizona, Arkansas.
Speaker 1: I still kind of I still do it sometimes, just
to see if I can remember it. I know I'm
missing a couple of states, but that one stuck with
me because I was like just like breaking through.
Speaker 2: And then they stopped doing.
Speaker 3: Like class ones, and I was too nervous to do
like the.
Speaker 2: Actual one by myself.
Speaker 1: What about you did you do like the class Like
the talent show class ones?
Speaker 3: We did one where I was a clock, so like
like a square board around my face that had like numbers,
and then they painted my face like white with like
a oh or whatever, and I my job was to go.
Speaker 2: That sounds like fun. That's all I did.
Speaker 3: They were like, we need a job for this weird girl.
Speaker 2: You're like, they're like clobha yeh yeh.
Speaker 3: Another time I did a talent show with my friends
and it was like third grade, and we did this song.
I don't think this is a copy written song. It's
like on top of the gety all covered with cheese.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, that's not me.
Speaker 3: When somebody sneeze.
Speaker 4: And then my friend was a meatball, like this big
outfit and filled it with newspaper and then she rolled
around the stage while.
Speaker 3: Me and my friend sang the song Oh my god, yeah,
And then I think I really really wanted to do
Christina Aguilera, but I can't sing like Christina Aguilera. So
I'm glad that I didn't do that, but I couldn't
want to, you know, I didn't. Yeah, okay, we did
do I think we did this for a talent I
can't remember, but Britney spears crazy. Oh we made a
whole dance and I think we did it for the
talent show and we got to wear like body glitter
and stuff and I just remember it started with like
a whoop and then like a like that. It was
really cool.
Speaker 1: If you want to dance, you have to subscribe.
Speaker 3: I'm going to try to remember it. I remember doing it,
like I remember showing all of my parents' friends. I
was like really proud, You're like, look at this queen,
this dance. This was also during the era of like
kyote ugly, so I was like, I'm going to grow
up and dance on table.
Speaker 2: You were inspired yeah.
Speaker 3: By Piper Parallel. Yes, okay, anyhow we can talk about
this actual movie. So, uh, before we take our little break,
I want to talk about any hot takes or burning
desires that you have about this film.
Speaker 2: Okay, So again spoilers.
Speaker 1: Obviously, watch the movie of not then you're gonna have
to be okay that it's spoiled.
Speaker 3: But I do we tell them the week before.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you're like, well watch it, but I.
Speaker 1: Don't want them to be like in case they're like,
well you're reviewing, you should wait till the end and
they can skip and then they're like, you didn't give
us a warning, so it's a spoiler.
Speaker 2: Spoiler.
Speaker 1: I do think that Anna should have told Laura about
like I was fucking your husband, but I didn't know
that that was your husband.
Speaker 3: That is a big spoiler. That's like the big that's.
Speaker 2: The main thing. But I do think that's.
Speaker 3: True because he was that the whole time, like six
I know, I was.
Speaker 2: Waiting in the home.
Speaker 3: Movies this, which is why I'm like, spoilers fairs movies
from twenty sixteen. Yeah, so we haven't seen its like
almost a decade old.
Speaker 1: Yeah you can like you know movies that you've seen
and then like you're like, do you want me to
tell you? And I'm like, yeah, I'll still watch it,
but tell me, like tell me what happens, you know. Yeah,
But I do think she should have because then her
excuse was also like, I am gonna hate myself forever
more than you're gonna hate me, because you're better than me.
But I'm gonna hate myself and you you're not angry
that I am at myself for not telling you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't like that.
Speaker 1: I was like, girl, Okay, I.
Speaker 3: Said this and I felt it at the time, but
I don't know if I was being a little harsh.
I said that they're both unhinged and deserve each other.
Because see, I didn't really like either of them. I
thought they were both like kind of annoying. And who
lets this weird random lady into her house when she
said she didn't even want to hang out. Yeah, still weird.
And then she started putting her own poetry to her,
which was supposed to be a secret and she would
never found out.
Speaker 2: She's like, I've only shown it to Louisa.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Louisa showed no one, then I would be mad.
Speaker 2: No, But then she said no, Luisa didn't show it
to me.
Speaker 3: But that's what she thought at the time, right. She
was like, I know, Louisa, I don't know. I just
I guess my my hot take is that I didn't
like either of them, and I think terrify.
Speaker 2: You're like, fuck this movie?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like, I literally thought I thought that
Angelina put this on here because she knew it was sad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I texted.
Speaker 3: I texted her and I was like, did you put
this on here to fuck with me? And she was like,
I haven't even seen it yet.
Speaker 1: I've never seen this movie. She's like like Maggie Nanny
when go watch that episode. Yeah, it's a bad movie.
Speaker 2: And I did put Maggie Nanny on there.
Speaker 3: Because I knew you were gonna So I was like,
are you fucking with me again? You're like enough? Can
we get good with no offense to anyone that likes
this movie? So anyway, coming up next, we will dissect
this very interesting story piece by piece. But first we're
going to take a little break, So take this time
to write some secret gay poetry yourself.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to but I'm a Lesbian. This week we
are discussing The Perfume of Memory, a Brazilian short ish
film available on YouTube.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I wasn't sure if we could call this
a short film or not, because I don't know what
the time limit is on something being short. But it's
an hour and twelve minutes, so so's're's definitely like short
to me. It's not like a regular linth movie is
like ninety minutes. Ish, I would say, unless it's like Titanic,
then it's three hours and twelve minutes. I think twelve minutes.
I could be wrong.
Speaker 2: The twelve minutes is necessary for that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's like so sad. It's the part where
like she drops him, you know, like, oh wait, that
probably isn't thet the last twelve minutes and then she
gets rescued and then at the end she drops the
dinand into the ocean, Like why would you do that?
Her whole family could be like rich forever. She's probably
gonna die soon. She should have given it to the grandmaughter,
poor guys. Yeah, like the more I watch that, At
first that was mad because I was like, why are
you throwing things in the ocean? Like even as a
seven year old, I was like, this seems like not good,
like don't just throw things in the ocean. But also
that's where so much money. Why would you do that?
I'm mad at her anyhow, So this movie is not Titanic,
but I love Titanic. We should talk about it. Someday
we'll just pretend that Leo was it was. Yeah, yeah,
I'd be into it. So this movie we open on, oh,
I wrote, already not stoked because this is made by
a man, and a man is the narrator. Yes, he
narrates the whole thing. And so we open on two
women musicians and the male narrator talking about them. I
thought that the two women were Anna and Laura because
they're also two women, but the musicians that they keep
showing are different.
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too, I thought that too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like, okay, whatever, and so he's like
talking about them. Also, this has subtitles, so if anything
didn't translate, right, I'm sorry. This is in Portuguese and
I was reading the English subtitles. But he was talking
about how Anna loves books and he wants to start
by talking about her. Then he shows her at a museum.
She loves art. She's different, but she looks kind of basic.
She's not getting she's so quirky, guys. But yeah, so
she's artsy, right. I said, she's giving Bette porter because
we have to talk about the L word episode.
Speaker 2: She's like the basic version.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm sorry, I did you compare she was giving
that porter because he said something like she's so moved
by art and she needs me, like crying about the
art piece. I don't know. I don't know. She doesn't
look like that porter. I mean, she's fine, she's not ugly.
I'm sorry she was she even she wasn't even giving
power lesbians.
Speaker 2: She was wearing she was giving wishy wash.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not a fan. Okay. So she loves photography. She
loves to take pictures of geese. That's what she's doing here.
And it reminded me of in Hotel Reverie when the
one girl, Brandy Friday, was like, look a goose. I
was like, oh my god, what are geese gay?
Speaker 1: These are They say swans are gay, but they're like
related in the family.
Speaker 2: Aren't they never gay?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Also there's a gay animal and every special.
Speaker 3: Have we talked about the Nobo's.
Speaker 2: I want to say we talked about it, but not
on here.
Speaker 3: Okay, they're lesbians. They'd be scissoring all the time.
Speaker 2: This is they want.
Speaker 3: I get it. I'm pretty sure they ignore the boy Bonobo's.
They're like, why would I be with you when I
could be with this other hot girl? Banoa, like I agree,
So uh, then she's she's just different. She's like ordinary
life was not enough for her. It is what he said,
and so if she already seem annoying, So then we
meet Laura. We see her talking to her friends on
the phone, and it seems like she's going through it.
She's like going through a breakup. And then the narrator
is like, yeah, her husband left her, and I was like, cool,
I could tell she's a good actress because I could
already tell.
Speaker 2: That, but yeah, you told me.
Speaker 3: And then we find out that she's a secret poet
and she writes and hides poems so no one else
can read them. And then she's at her house and
then Anna shows up at her door. So it's like
she knocks on the door or rings the bell I
don't remember, and she answers, which is like, ha, I
don't answer the door at my house. Do you enter
the door?
Speaker 2: I look at the people, and if I know, then I.
Speaker 1: Open it obviously, And I'm like even if I see you,
I'm like no, Or if it's someone that I feel
like looks kind of like they need to, like it's important,
then I open it.
Speaker 2: But like no, usually I don't. Usually I'm just like
leave a mess.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. We literally hide, like we'll like we'll
be like watching TV and then somebody knocks and we're like.
Speaker 2: Fuck, we like turn out the TV and we.
Speaker 3: Like go and hide behind the couch or whatever. Because
you can kind of see like the little window, they
could see us there, so we're like, oh no, we
have to hide. Yeah, we don't answer the door. So
maybe that's also part of why I thought she was unhinged,
not just that she let.
Speaker 2: Her in, but why did she answer the door?
Speaker 3: It was nighttime, but I'm not sure because this seems
like it was hours and hours and it was already nighttime. Yeah. Anyway,
So Anna and Laura are meeting because they have a
mutual friend named Louisa. An A cites a line from
one of Laura's poems to her, and Laura's like, what
the fuck, how do you know my secret poetry? And
she just replies with more quotes from her poems, which
I thought was like annoying, and Laura's like, that was
a different era. I'm not in my poetry era right now.
But I think it's because it was like a love
poem and she's like heartbroken. So she's like, that was
not this era of my life, you know, like flood
tri being like when I was in my queer era.
She's like my queer era, Oh my god. Okay. So
then she's like that was a different era. I want
to be left alone by. And Anna's like, wait, I
got you flowers, and she's like, oh, thank you. She's
like come in, and so Anna starts telling her about
the meaning of the flowers. She's like, I'm not just
going to give you flowers. I want to explain the
flowers to you. She's like, we carry flowers in our souls.
And Laura's like, okay, well, my soul is a cactus
garden right now. And instead of taking that as like
a bad thing, Anna is like, a cactus is very strong,
and she's like, my intuition says that your soul is
more like Lily's because they represent the loss of a
strong love. And it's like, bitch, Luisa told me told
you a lot.
Speaker 2: About looking back.
Speaker 1: That's diabolical to be saying all that shit, knowing like I.
Speaker 2: Fucked your husband all this shit. But she's like no, like, yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't like this. I didn't like it,
even when I didn't realize we.
Speaker 2: Didn't Yeah, we didn't know.
Speaker 3: But Laura seems to like appreciate that. And then she
lets her in and she says, yeah, you can come in,
even though she didn't want to be around anyone. And
then Laura and Anna are talking and she's like, oh, well,
what do you know about me? Or I know from
Louisa that you're really into art, and so they're just
like talking about like, what what have you heard about me?
Blah blah, and Anna says, oh, I have a husband
named Bernard. And I was like, eh, I thought this
was a lesbian movie husband's lord and I was like,
married to a man really so annoyed. So I was like, Okay,
well I don't know. So then Anna tells Laura that
her father left her when she was young and she
never looked for him, and I was like, is this
gonna be accidental incest? I was like, what the fuck
is this? Flowers? I thought it was her sister. I
thought I was gonna be her sister, and I would
have been a plot tist, plot twist, yeah, tits, blood tits,
Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: I was thinking about tips I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that you repeated at me, and I
was like plot twist.
Speaker 3: So no, I was like, oh, no, I hope they
don't do anything then if they are going to be sisters,
but they're not sisters. So anyway, she just wanted to
tell her about how her her dad left her. Yeah,
they started talking about astrology, and Laura is a Taurus
I think a Taurus rising, but they're talking about it
a lot, like yeah, so I don't know if she's
also like a tourist son or she's a triple tourist.
She's all taurists, okay, And then Anna is like being
weirdly aggressive about astrology and then she's like, actually, I
don't even believe in that, and I was like I
already thought this witch was annoying, so now I'm extra annoyed.
But she's an extra. It's like she wants to fight
about it. And then she's like just kidding. I literally
don't even care when I was younger, Like I'm mad.
And so then they start doing like photoshoots of each
other and they're like listening to music. They're just like
talking and talking, and the narrator describes their instant connection
as affinity and uh Anna tells Laura that she has
an open relationship and I was like, oh yeah. And
then they tell each other about everyone that they sleep with.
Oh yeah, Anna and her husband and tell each other
about everyone they sleep with, so it's like open relationship.
She does say that she would never want to fall
in love with someone else, like if it got too serious,
she like cuts it off or not. She cuts it
off and goes back to She's.
Speaker 2: Like, got her respect for my husband are packed. That's
very sacred. I just fuck other people, but I don't
want to be with them.
Speaker 1: And then she's like, so you're just and he cheats
on you too. She's like, so you guys are both
cheating on each other. And she's like, do you have
sex with your husband? And she's like no, why She's like,
we don't, Like I have no desire. She's like, I
have no desire to.
Speaker 2: Sleep with him. And I was like, girl, the signs
are there.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, And so Laura's like, why don't you just
break up? Like if you don't, and she's like, uh,
because she needs you need something eternal in your life
basically yeah, and that Laura is like, h it seems
like you're just being a coward and you don't have
the courage to break up with him, and Anna kind
of like agrees with her, Yeah, so whatever, and then
Laura asks, like, what would you do if you met
someone that you love passion? That's where I was saying.
She's like, I would cut them off and I would
go back to Bernard, and then we cut to them
playing darts, and then they show the two women musicians again,
which is like, really cringe to me, and it keeps
taking me out of the moment every time they do that. Also,
I don't know if this has happened yet. I think
it has. They have fucking crickets in the background the
whole time, crickets, Like it's aggressive, and my dogs were
really mad, like they did not like it, Like, oh,
they didn't like it at all. No, they didn't like
First my wife didn't like it first of all. She
was like, oh my god, these crickets are annoying, and
then the dogs started like barking, and like I was like, oh,
they don't like the crickets either, so yeah, they shouldn't
have put the crickets in there. And you're like, though
they were trying to be like, look, she lives in
this beautiful house by nature with a lot of crickets.
I was like. And so then after their the music,
the musicians they show that they also start doing like
weird mining things and like faces like they'll go like yeah,
like I don't know why they do it, it's so weird.
Speaker 2: I was like, because they're drunk, is the comedy.
Speaker 1: Like now the musicians are they Yeah, they're probably drunk too.
I think you're talking about them when they're doing the
photo shoot. And then they were like, you know, like maybe.
Speaker 3: They weren't doing that too. And then they do this
psychology game with like where you have to say like, oh,
you like are going up to like a body of water,
and then you see like an animal and blah blah blah,
and then those like the different things describe you, and
of course, because Anna's kind of a creep, one of
them has to do with how you view sex or whatever.
And I was like, Okay, she's just trying to get
in her pants. Yea was like, ugh, I don't like that.
Speaker 2: She's like I slept with lots of women.
Speaker 3: Yes, Then she said that yeah, and so she's like
this reveals that Laura is not afraid of sex, but
she's also not forward, and so then they're like, just
like more playing around. This is what I mean literally
like hours and hours ago doing like of just like
having like a fun slumber party, which is like cool.
That is like I think a big fun part about
being a lesbian is like every night is like a
slumber party. It's always girls night. I love it. It's
always girls at my house and we can like, you know,
do masks together. Yeah. Yeah, you're like, wait, yeah, like
all kinds of things. Anyway, So Laura says sometimes she
wants to be like Anna, and Anna is like, no,
it's actually a lot of work to be like me.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, she's insufferable.
Speaker 3: It's just like you don't want to be me.
Speaker 2: It's so hard.
Speaker 3: I'd be sucking your husband. Anyway. Then Laura's like, oh
my god, I love church. And she's like, are you religious?
And she's like no, I just love church and I
just love.
Speaker 2: Okay, the idea of truth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like, I don't know. That felt random
to me, but maybe it had a reason. Also, I
don't know if we were supposed to understand this in
the beginning, but I didn't get it until like halfway
through the movie. It's Laura's birthday, yeah, she says, like
in the during the call, she's like, it's my birthday, yes, whatever,
Like she's talking to her friends and she's like, understand
me if you know me.
Speaker 1: I love you guys, but I want to spend it
alone and you guys should respect that.
Speaker 3: And clearly I missed that part. And then her husband
that left her keeps calling her, and it makes a
little more sense because I guess he's calling because it's
her birthday and he like doesn't meet alone on her birthday.
And he's like, I'm sad that you're a sad and
she's like, you're the one that made me sad.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Like he's like, I just don't want you to
be like sad on your birthday.
Speaker 3: I was like, what the fuck? So, yeah, he's an asshole.
So the narrator says this thing that I think he
thinks is very clever. He says one lives in the
House of Courage and one in the House of fear.
But they're about to switch, so we're like, oh, foreshadowy, Okay, Yeah,
and so Anna gives Laura a Russian nesting doll and
then they're playing with it. I thought that that was
going to be important, but I don't think it was.
But I really like those little dolls, like I don't know,
oh yeah, they look like little grandma's. And they're talking
about young love and crushes, and then the ex calls
again and Laura is like talking to him, and then
after she hangs up, she she's crying and Anna tries
to comfort her, and she's like, you haven't experienced, so
you don't understand. Because you're too much of a wuss
to break up with your husband, so you don't understand.
Speaker 2: So you're a coward. You'll never know that.
Speaker 3: Basically, And then Anna comforts her by holding her hand
and kissing her head. And then Laura puts her head
in on his lap and rubs her back and plays
with her hair. And I was like, oh, yeah, I'm
gonna do sex left now. Well, just because I was like, oh,
her head is like an exact seg I was like, yeah,
I don't well, I mean we watched Maggie Nanny. They
kept crying when they were having I don't know. And
so then Anna brings up the thing about like would
you ever be with a woman, and Laura's like, yeah,
if I like really loved her, you know, And Anna's like,
I've had sex with lots of women, and She's like,
just let you know, I don't like her. She's so
annoying to me. And Laura's like, well, I never have,
but like I mean I would if I really like
the person, basically, yeah, and then they talk about like
one day loves and one day crushes, like you just
are really into this person for this one day, and
I think that is like Anna's jam because she has
one day in Yeah, it makes me think of I
think it's in fight club. They talk about single serving friends,
like he would make friends on the flight and like, oh,
this is your friend for the flight out, but like
you're never going to hang out again, like you only
met each other because you happen to be on the
same flight, right, Like It's kind of like that, but
like probably with sex, because Anna is just like, oh
it just fuck so many women. She's so annoying, and
so Laura's like, are you trying to convince me of something?
Like are you trying to like get in my pants?
Speaker 2: Basically?
Speaker 3: And Anna's like yeah. And then Laura's like I wouldn't
want to do anything with you because you don't want
to make anything serious. And then Anna changes the subject
or tries to change the subject to talk about something else. Yeah,
and then they do this whole thing where they act
out the end of my best friend's wedding, which I
like that movie. Have you seen that movie? Yes, okay,
I really like it. I watched it as an adult
and I was like, oh my god, Julia Roberts character
is kind of a cunt. Yeah, as fucked up for
that when I watched her just trying to be happy. Yes,
when I watched it as a kid, I was like
on Julia Robert's side for me too, I'm like, how
dare he marry someone else?
Speaker 2: She's right there?
Speaker 3: And then I yeah, yeah. But then this time when
I watched it as a grown up, I was like,
oh my god, Cameron Diaz's character is like sweet and
she didn't do anything wrong, and then this girl is
like trying to sabotage her love. Yeah, and I was like,
that's so sad. So anyway, they like act out the
whole thing. And then that's how much I love Titanic.
I wrote about it in here again. I wrote then
they start spinning around like in Titanic when they're like
skinny and dancing, and then Laura is like, I think
we could get deep, you know, that's what she's meant
she tells her. She's like yeah, She's like, yeah, we could.
And then Anna is like should I kiss you? And
Laura's like.
Speaker 1: Nah, She's like no, how about you do what You're
like good at changing the subject.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 3: Then they walked to the beach. This is the longest
night ever, like.
Speaker 2: Literally, like how close is her house to the beach?
Speaker 3: Like they like rich rich, Like I think, okay, I
don't know are their crickets at the beach because that
doesn't seem like a beach thing, but they walk to
the beach, so it must be close. Okay. So they
walked to the beach. Oh yeah, yeah this Laura is like, oh,
by the way, I'm pregnant and I'm keeping the baby.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: She's like does Marco's her ex husband know? And that's
what Anna tells her and she's like no. She's like,
are you gonna tell them? She's like no, I'm gonna
have this child.
Speaker 2: And I was like, are they going to raise the
child together?
Speaker 3: Like is that way, it's going like very lesbian. Yeah, okay.
They then they hold hands while looking at the ocean,
and when they get back, Anna is like, oh my god,
do you have baby photos of you? Because I want
to see them because you know, she told her that
she's pregnant. And then they start drinking more wine. And
I'm really confused because in Brazil, are you like, is
it is it not bad to drink while you're pregnant,
because I thought you're not supposed.
Speaker 2: To dorine know, in general, allowed to like you're allowed.
Speaker 3: To have some I don't dream a lot.
Speaker 1: They were drinking a lot, but maybe she's like, I
don't know, I'm not excusing it, you guys.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I do know.
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, like when they're drinking while they're pregnant.
Speaker 2: No, I do know that they say you're allowed to
have a couple of drinks.
Speaker 1: But in like all the movies I've seen that are
like sort of older too, when they're pregnant, they're just like,
it's okay, it's just like my fifth, like glass of
wine today.
Speaker 2: It's not too much.
Speaker 3: I thought people were like allowed to have like one
beer a day. I want to say, it's very yeah,
very limited. I don't know. It seems like I don't know,
maybe this is because I'm a sober person, but alcohol
is like a really like it's like bad for your body.
So I really I was judging her. I was like,
you're gonna keep the baby, and you're choosing its alcohol.
Speaker 2: They've been drinking like the moment they met. Literally, I'm like,
was she.
Speaker 3: Drinking before she got there? I don't know, I don't remember,
but yeah, so I was very disturbed by that. And
then they start eating ice cream and it's the most
giant bowl and I don't want to sound like an asshole,
but like they're both really skinny, and I was like,
there's no way these bitches are gonna eat that much
ice cream. Like it was so heaping, heaping bowl of
ice cream. It's so many scoops. Did you see how
many they It looked like a challenge, like an ice
can challenge, Like if you can eat all this ice cream,
you win, Like you get a T shirt and you're
you're a picture on the board.
Speaker 2: Like the content the man versus food.
Speaker 3: That's why it was giving. I was like, who made this?
Oh my god, who was it? What was the model?
Where they like, was it belahadid someone there was. The
interviewer was asking him like, what do you eat? And
she's like, I love pizza. Oh it was pizza every meal.
Speaker 2: She's like, I know what food is.
Speaker 3: Everybody's like, okay, you could have said like every week.
So then uh, later, Laura shares some of her poems
with Anna, but it's like, bitch, she's already like seen them,
she's already reciting them to and it's like a special
moment because she's being vulnerable because she's like, only you
and Luisa know these. And then the husband ex husband
guy calls again and Anna answers and tells him off,
like she takes the phone and is like you meet
or leave her alone, you little asshole. Blahblah. I don't
remember what she said. And then and then Laura sings
for her.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's her hidden talent.
Speaker 3: And I wrote, she's better than me and Jessica Simpson
or maybe equal to Jessica Simpson, I don't know. So
Anna cries and says she needs to leave, and I
was like, okay, So it's because it's getting too deep
and she doesn't want things she get deep, right, And
then Laura's like are you in love? Like are you
in love with me?
Speaker 1: Which I was like, this is crazy in the entire
like day, I want to know how many hours? Why
should be just like they were together for like eight
hours or something, but still either way, I mean it.
Speaker 3: Was still dark, so say it was like eight pm.
Now it's like I don't know two am. I don't
know what time.
Speaker 2: Those two am times.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and so she's like, would you resist if someone
you loved gave themselves to you?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah? And then she kisses Anna and tells her she
doesn't want her to leave. So I was like, oh, okay,
something like something. Yeah, and then Anna doesn't kiss her back,
and I thought it was weird and I was like,
this is like uncomfortable, Like she was being really aggressive,
which I know they made a point of saying that
usually Laura is not assertive with sex, but I felt
like it was so weird because like Anna wasn't kissing
her back.
Speaker 2: She was like she was just literally crying and she
was like kissing me. She's like like, uh.
Speaker 3: This is like unwanted sexual advances.
Speaker 1: She's like, Anna kissed me back. Yeah, I was just
like fucking crying.
Speaker 2: Yes, she's like, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: So that was like weird. And then Anna is like, okay,
I gotta tell you everything. And I was like, oh fuck,
it's her sister. Like. I was like, you're like that's
where she was sure. Yeah. I was like, oh, this
is like soap opera shit, but that's not what happened. Instead,
she says, oh, yeah, I just want to tell you
this story about how when I first arrived in Brazil,
I met this man and he showed me these poems
that he wrote and they were so beautiful, but actually
it was Marcus and they were your poems, and he
uses your poems to fuck girls, and I I had
an affair with your husband basically, and I already knew
of you before Luisa ever mentioned you, because I was
talking your husband.
Speaker 2: She's like, I saw your name.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was like, oh yeah. She found out herself
that it wasn't actually Marcus that wrote the things, because
she saw it on his laptop whatever anyway, and so
Laura's like, get the fuck out, you cun't. I don't
know what she actually said, but that's what I wrote that.
Speaker 2: She's like uniuely right now.
Speaker 3: And then Laura's like, you know I feel like you
should have told me this before I let you in.
And Anna it's like, oh no, I'm so sad. I
feel really bad, and I feel so bad for me.
Trying to make herself like the victim like I felt.
Speaker 2: She was like, you'll never like I hate myself.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'll never understand on how bad I feel. It's like,
oh whatever, and she's like, Laura says, I'll never forgive you,
and Anna's like, yes, you will, because you're a better
person than me. And she's like, you're right. I am
I probably.
Speaker 2: She's like I hate it, but I will, yes.
Speaker 3: And then honest, it's back down and talks about like us,
and Laura's like there is no us, and I thought
it was really bold of her to sit back down.
I was like, I'm pretty sure she told you to
get out early.
Speaker 2: So let me take it. This is really intense right now.
Speaker 3: I was like, really, she's so entitled. And then they're
like what. Laura's like, I know we fell in love,
but you're a cowardly bitch. I don't know that she
said that, but that's what I wrote. And she tells
her to leave and Anna doesn't do it, and then
they talk about cowardice and the Bernard thing again, and
I was just like, oh, that's so over. I was
just annoyed by that whole thing. And then Laura tells
Anna she needs to make a decision, like to stay
or leave, Like should I stay? I'll should I don't.
I don't know if I'm a lot to say that either.
So Anna chooses to leave and she's like and she
goes out, and then I was like, she's drunk. Is
she gonna drive?
Speaker 2: It's the next day?
Speaker 1: Well, okay, so when you see her open the thing,
it's literally the next morning, and I'm guessing she's like
sobered up from like revealing this like awful truth. But
they were drinking, like up until the last argument, they
were drunk. And I want to say that fight didn't
go off for very long. It was very like to
the point this is dangerous.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm like, don't drink while you're pregnant,
and don't.
Speaker 2: D don't drink and drive.
Speaker 3: We don't really that bad. And so anyway, she like
leaves and then they're both crying and then Laura is
like thinking about it and she's like, I don't know,
and she's like, I think she doesn't say it out loud,
but basically you can see that she like decides to
go chase her. Yeah, so she like goes and like
opens the door to go chase Anna, but Anna's still
standing there. And so I think what we're supposed to
get out of this is that they they did choose
each other and that Anna is gonna not be a
coward and she's gonna leave her husband because.
Speaker 1: She says yes because uh, Laura asked her. She's like,
I expose my soul, like are you willing to take
the risk? And then Anna says no at first, and
that's when she leaves, and then she's like, oh my god,
and then she's like yes I will.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. I was just kind of annoyed the whole movie,
to be honest, because I just felt like it dragged
on a lot.
Speaker 1: Bernard was like in a lot of the conversation. Yeah,
it was like all leading back, Like each time they
had like a deep conversation, she was just like I
can see us being deep, Like I can see us,
but I can't be with you because you don't want that,
you know. And then they both literally said like I
fell in love with you, I know, you fell in
love with me, Like they literally say, like I fell
in love with you, and I'm like, wow.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't know if we need to like
talk about this in a different episode because I don't
have super strong feelings about it either way. But I
just don't really feel like you could fall in love
with someone when you just like met them for a
few hours. Like I think that you could think they're
really awesome and you want to get to know them better,
and like you could think that they're hot and you
like want to like do sex stuff with them, like
you could have like lust for them, But I don't
know that you could really fall in love with them.
And I know they're trying to be like she loves art,
so when she saw the poetry, she was like in
love with whoever wrote the poetry. Yeah, but I don't know.
It just seems kind of like it makes me think
of like kids, like it's like, uh, fourth grade relationship,
like I love you and I love you. And they
were like, but I'm like, what if that was weird?
We're gonna be munch merch murder. So the options for
this are Anna, Laura, and Luisa, who we never see
but we hear about we.
Speaker 2: Should have done one of the musicians.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I know I did see other.
Speaker 2: Women in there, but I didn't think about it.
Speaker 3: You guys, I thought there were four musicians because at
one point they two looked differ right than the first two.
But maybe they just had their hair different or they.
Speaker 2: Had and then remember they had the mind makeup.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Okay, Well, no, I didn't choose those.
I chose Anna, Laura, and Louisa. Honestly, you go for us?
Speaker 2: Can we murder all of them?
Speaker 1: I know?
Speaker 2: Okay, So.
Speaker 1: I would munch Laura, kill Anna, and then merge with Luisa,
just because I don't know. I feel like I can't
see myself merging with.
Speaker 2: Either of the two.
Speaker 1: You can munch one of them, but I can't merge
with you. I'll do Luisa, who we find out is
a good friend. She did not show her poems and everything.
She was a good friend. What about you?
Speaker 3: Okay, I was thinking that I would, well, I would
murder Anna, sorry, but she was just so self important.
I couldn't with her. I would. I would merge with
Laura because I didn't really like her. But then there
were parts where I was like maybe maybe going through
a really rough time her life. Yeah, and then I
would un to Louisa, I hope she's hot because they
don't ever show her.
Speaker 2: She's whatever you wanted to be.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then what would you rate this movie on
a scale of one to five cherries?
Speaker 1: I get what it was trying to do, Like I
liked the visual some of it, just not the musicians,
like some like scenes of them were cool, but obviously
it sucked ass.
Speaker 3: So one.
Speaker 2: What about I think that one? Oh, I was actually
gonna do one point five.
Speaker 1: But then I remember that part when you were like
talking back about Anna, when she was saying like, let
me tell you everything now, and then she's like starting
off with like remember this man, and I was like, oh,
I forgot this. She's like not even like I'm so sorry,
like I have to tell you something important. She's like,
just let me tell you my story, and I'm like, girl,
what the fuck? So I don't know that point five
was taken off.
Speaker 3: Honestly, I would have given it a two if it
was a secret incest story because that would have been
a crazier like twist.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I really love VC Andrews. I don't
know if anyone is of that age, but I've made
my watch my watch I've made my wife watch all
the VC Andrews, like Flowers in the Attic movies, all
of that, and she's like, why do you like this?
Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't know, Like it's just interesting. It's
just interesting.
Speaker 3: But it's always like, oh my god, that ended up
being her uncle. What the fuck? I don't know, you guys,
it's crazy. I'm weird. So we're gonna We're gonna take
a little break before we go into our last segment.

where we're starting a new thing, we're going to talk
about our current obsessions every once in a while, so
mainly because I just wanted a way to fit these
things in, but they didn't really fit with the vibe
of the pots. So now they do because they're you
know what, I think. I was gonna name it current fixations,
but we can, we can, we can workshop it.
Speaker 2: I like current obsessions.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, obsessions fixations. Current things were really into Yeah,
so tell me about yours.
Speaker 2: I was telling you about it.
Speaker 1: And then they released that little like article and it's
like the LGBTQ plus laboo boos, Like which ones are
they based on?
Speaker 2: The colors? Was so cute, wasn't it. I don't have
a lab boo boom. Oh yeah, that's my obsession right now.
My current obsessions.
Speaker 1: They're so expensive, but they're they're very cute, but I
can't just the one that I wanted to get in
Portland was thirty five dollars like this bit.
Speaker 3: Well at least it wasn't sixty the ones that while
were showing me or six, because this is what was
a knockoff.
Speaker 2: Even though I was like the Fu Foo it was
a little food food. I wanted it so bad.
Speaker 1: And there was one oh my god, it looked like
bun and it was like a little bunny but like cat.
Speaker 3: Ears and I was like a little like bun cat thing.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I didn't get it just because I was like,
I spent a lot of money on stuff and I
have a.
Speaker 2: Lot of stuff animals.
Speaker 1: Already that I had a storage and then we have
someone like the frame of our bed because I don't know,
they have sentimental.
Speaker 2: Value and I just like looking at them and being like, yeah,
I had you, like you know, when I was a kid.
Speaker 1: So I can't get anymore because there's no place to
put it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, but I want one because I want to
put it on my backpack, my work backpack. But the
thing is that I feel like they get dirty really easily.
They would get in I would not do a good
job of keeping it clean.
Speaker 2: It'd be like really dingy. But then that would mean
because I love because it goes everywhere.
Speaker 3: With you, so it is cute. Well, I am also
a little bit obsessed with the la boo boos, and
I don't want to be because I was like, I
don't like that with the first time Angelina asked me
about it, I was like no, uh, And then now
they grow on me and they're so cute and I'm
obsessing over it, and my TikTok is just full of
it because it knows I keep liking things about them,
and so it keeps showing them to me. And my
wife is like, Caitlin, you're not getting a Labuo boo.
You don't need one, and I'm like.
Speaker 1: I need When they say you don't need it, I
want it more and then I'm like no, yeah, I'm like,
can I get there was this mon chi chi like
notebooked I wanted to get. I already have like so
many notebooks that I was like, I don't think I
can fit one like at all. So I was like
I don't need this, but I want it, and I
had to like fight it because I was like, I'm
not going to use it.
Speaker 2: It's just going to be there, you know.
Speaker 3: So well mine is not as cute, but it's been
around for a long time, but I'm really into it
literally specifically right now. I love watching videos. Specifically, I've
always like liked ASMR videos, but I really like the
wax tapping where they take like a squishy toy and
then they put different amounts of layers of wax on
it and then they tap it and they scratch it
and then they crush it.
Speaker 2: I love it. Oh, is it in that one like
machine where they put it in.
Speaker 3: The no no no, I like those two no. It's
like somebody with nice nails and then they go and
then they go and I love to see it crack
and then the pieces come up and then I also
same vibe soap cutting and soap crushing. My favorite are
the soap crushing ones where inside of the soap there's
like shaving cream stuff. Oh, and then it's like it's
like I'm not And then the soap cutting is fun too,
where they do like you know, they'll put like I
don't know, I'm really bad cutting things. This is how
my wife cuts an onion, so like you do, like
you have the bar soap and then it's like oh
like then and then they like cut it and layers
so all this soap and I feel like it's really wasteful.
But I've told myself that they probably reuse the soap
because you can just like melt it and like reuse it.
So that's my hope because I was feeling bad to
do anyway, that's my thing. I can watch it for hours,
like I will be on TikTok for hours watching those.
