Stuck in Love (2012) Greg Kinnear, Jennifer Connelly

Stuck in Love (2012) Greg Kinnear, Jennifer Connelly

Henrique and David open a complicated family manuscript with Stuck in Love (2012), writer-director Josh Boone’s romantic drama originally titled Writers. Greg Kinnear stars as acclaimed novelist Bill Borgens, who remains emotionally fixed on his ex-wife Erica, played by Jennifer Connelly. Their children are writers too: Lily Collins’ Samantha protects herself with cynicism as her first novel is published, while Nat Wolff’s Rusty longs for experience and falls for Kate. Across one year, the Borgens family confronts divorce, infidelity, new relationships, addiction, grief and the distance between writing about life and actually living it.
The hosts follow the story from one Thanksgiving to the next, discussing Logan Lerman’s gentle performance as Lou and the way his relationship with Samantha challenges her fear of commitment. They examine Bill’s inability to let go, Erica’s regret, Rusty’s idealism and the film’s interlocking ideas about second chances. Henrique and David also address Kate’s substance-use disorder without reducing her to a label, along with story elements involving teen sexuality, cancer, death and family estrangement. A voice cameo from Stephen King adds a memorable touch to the film’s portrait of aspiring authors.
For both hosts, Stuck in Love is a heartbreaking favorite because its heightened coincidences remain anchored by recognizable emotions and committed performances. Their conversation turns personal as David considers what it means to discover that someone from a former relationship has blocked him on LinkedIn. That small digital detail opens a larger discussion about closure, memory and the temptation to keep interpreting another person’s boundaries after a relationship ends. The hosts connect those feelings to Bill’s waiting, Samantha’s defenses and Rusty’s desire to transform pain into art.
Henrique and David discuss Boone’s feature directorial debut, the Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, locations and the film’s 2012 festival premiere before its wider 2013 release. They consider how the original title Writers highlights the family’s shared vocation, while Stuck in Love emphasizes the emotional pattern each character must break. Originally chosen for the podcast’s February love-story series, the episode offers a spoiler-rich examination of divorce, parent-child bonds, creative identity and the difficult difference between devotion and refusing to move forward.

Your sister is a great writer,
and it's because she's courageous in her life.

2
00:00:04.519 --> 00:00:06.960
They both want to go back to
your room home sex and never see

3
00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:10.279
each other again. She's promiscuous.
That's not the same thing things. And

4
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:16.960
I'm not sure I made the right
decision. Think about us, our story

5
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:20.920
and all of the things that went
wrong with us, and I could do

6
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:35.560
it so much better at this time
in a world where podcasts reign supreme,

7
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:50.679
Two Friends dare to ask Do You

00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.280
into this. Yes we are.
You're the one who wore a family video

13
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.519
sweatshirt. Mister, I don't really
rent anything anymore. I just did rent

14
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.879
from them. You have admitted to
me, Yes, you have admitted to

15
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:45.560
me that most of the time what
you did was bought the used copies because

16
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.359
it was the easiest. Dude,
I got a copy of Midsummer on Blu

17
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:52.599
Ray for eight bucks. Okay,
first of all, that's too much,

18
00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:57.200
and that's too much, and second
of all, if you rented from them,

19
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:00.760
maybe they could have survived a little. I was not the one factor

20
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:07.040
that made Family Video. You know, you might dissemble, you miss disassemble

21
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:12.879
Johnny five. I know, I'm
afraid on this one. We're gonna have

22
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.840
to Enrique is right, it's so
handsome. I mean, we'll take it

23
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:20.360
for now. I mean, I'm
just trying to help you, Okay,

24
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:29.319
just please no, David, but
you killed Family Video because video zest for

25
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.439
the idea of renting movies. You
were like, bro, I'm just gonna

26
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:35.159
take advantage of the ones that don't
do well and buy them cheap off them.

27
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.879
Bro Bro, bro Bro. They
had so many copies that they had

28
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:42.280
to, you know, eventually sell
them. I I mean I did go

29
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.759
after a lot of stuff that like, like I think I got my toxic

30
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.800
Avenger Blue. You almost never rented
from there. You told me this about

31
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:52.919
ten times, about ten times altogether. I was a prolific rent your Family

32
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:55.840
Video because I care well, but
I would go with you to rent things.

33
00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:00.879
So there is that I didn't you
know necessarily do the rent. Are

34
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:04.680
you gonna say that to I?
R s Well, my friend paid his

35
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:09.439
taxes. I should be fine.
You want to get into the movie.

36
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:14.439
I have no clue what you're talking
about now, so, uh, welcome

37
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:17.560
back, everybody, happy to have
you here. It is now February.

38
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:23.280
How do you say February February?
I just destroyed it. Now he doesn't

39
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:27.639
know how because you have We talked
about how I can't say rural. Can't.

40
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:31.280
You can't say a lot of words, but rural specifically is a word

41
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:38.319
I cannot rural. I roll too
much. Rural, rural, rural,

42
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:43.840
rural. Yeah, you're just now, you're just being a dick. That

43
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.800
has been that's been my life.
I can't say that word. That has

44
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:53.840
been my life, my struggle.
Uh rural, But uh no, you

45
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:57.719
can't say tons of words. So
it's fine. I enjoyed explaining what the

46
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.199
word decimated. It makes you feel
a better. People misused that word always,

47
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.159
No, I mean, that's that's
why I mis used, because I've

48
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:05.680
always heard misused. Apparently. I
mean, you make me sad. So

49
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:13.759
and speaking of sad, sad perfect
transition for February. Obviously, we decided

50
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:17.319
to choose a couple of love and
Valentine's themed films. Yes, we did,

51
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:25.399
and this week's is the You're twenty
twelve twenty twelve heartbreak film Stuck in

52
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:30.319
Love, a film that I discovered
in a very odd way. And we'll

53
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:34.120
get to that in a second,
but do you want to give a quick

54
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:39.079
rundown of Stuck in Love? And
we're finally in the two thousands. I

55
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.319
was looking at the films we covered
and I was like, man, it's

56
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.199
a lot of nineties with just a
smidge of eighties. Man, like,

57
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.360
we gotta I mean, we have
Mercy Christmas and just another Christmas. Okay,

58
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.639
we did have Mercy. No,
no, you're right, that's not

59
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:54.759
that's fairy. But we haven't had
anything in the twenty tens. Real week,

60
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:57.800
I mean kind of mercy Christmas.
But anyway, go on, dude,

61
00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:59.839
all right, so we're talking about
Stuck in Love from twenty twelve.

62
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.519
This movie is one hour and thirty
seven minutes, rated R for language,

63
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:06.399
teen drug and alcohol use, and
some sexual content. I hate when films

64
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:10.319
have language in them, like don't
talk at all, everybody. Sorry.

65
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.120
I always laugh when I see it
says like language, I'm like, well,

66
00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:17.439
that's vague. People are using speech
to communicate R. So. The

67
00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:21.199
director and writer of this movie is
Josh Boone. He directed Stuck in Love

68
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:24.839
in twenty twelve. It was his
directorial debut. He then went on to

69
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:28.439
do The Faultnar Stars in twenty fourteen. Yes, the New Mutants in twenty

70
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.959
twenty. I didn't know. He
did the New Mutants Stand remake in twenty

71
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.279
twenty. The mini series, Yeah, the one that Peacock or what was

72
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:39.120
it CBS Plus At that point,
I forget what they were called in I

73
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.800
can't remember. Yeah, but I
never watched it, did you? I

74
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.839
haven't yet. I really really want
to, okay, because I really like

75
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:46.959
Faultner Stars and I actually really like
the New Mutants as well. The Mutants

76
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.240
is fun. He was also the
writer, of course, on Stuck in

77
00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:53.040
Love. He also did All the
We All We Had in twenty sixteen,

78
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.439
The Pretenders in twenty eighteen. He
wrote New Mutants in twenty twenty, and

79
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.120
wrote On the Stand in twenty twenty
as well. Well that makes sense.

80
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:00.759
Yeah, And like I said,
he is the writer rector. The other

81
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:05.120
writer is credited with creative development.
That is Rick Bitzelberger and the reason that

82
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:09.240
I put him on here is because
this gentleman has a very interesting resume.

83
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.560
So he is a writer on Embrace
of the Vampire in nineteen ninety five,

84
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.600
goes on to do Erotic Confessions the
same year, Embrace the Darkness in nineteen

85
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:20.639
ninety nine, Eddie's Million Dollar Cookoff
in two thousand and three, the Disney

86
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:26.199
Channel original movie What Yeah. Then
goes on to do Crazy for Christmas for

87
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.800
Lifetime in two thousand and five,
All She Wants for Christmas in two thousand

88
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:30.839
and six, and then Stuck in
Love. He has created development on in

89
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:35.519
twenty twelve. He was also an
actor in nineteen eighty nine's but Where Children

90
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:40.519
At Play? Ah, the New
Jersey classic. Yes, I a buddy

91
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.920
of mine was actually on set.
Ohh she wear Children at Play? He

92
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:47.199
was filming like BTS Yeah, And
to this day he always says, man,

93
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.160
it's so annoying. You know.
I called Troma and I told him

94
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:53.720
I have all this BTS stuff and
I want to do something with it,

95
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:55.839
and they don't even care. No, they don't. I bet they don't.

96
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:59.040
So then to finish us off with
this gentleman. He was also the

97
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.079
producer of Ultiple films in the nineties
that just so happened to have the Penthouse

98
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:06.279
title with them as Penthouse Pet of
the Year Playoff in ninety one, Penthouse,

99
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:11.040
Passport to Paradise in ninety one,
Penthouse sat and Lace in ninety two,

100
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:14.319
Penthouse on Campus in ninety five,
And he also was the producer for

101
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.759
Erotic Confessions in ninety five as well. Do you know who directed Erotic Confessions?

102
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:21.279
That might have been a Jim Wnorski
joint look like a series? I

103
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:25.399
don't know, I I but uh, I would love to know how he

104
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:29.319
ended up being a part of Stuck
in Love. Yeah, Actually, that's

105
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.720
really interesting in his creative development title
for it, especially because, like I

106
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:36.000
said, with Boone is the is
the main writer and director on this.

107
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:41.319
So what I mean, what does
creative development usually mean in that ass Usually

108
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:44.079
you don't credit someone. Is that
That means he must have had some kind

109
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:46.720
of writing credit, but they didn't
want to give him a real writing credit.

110
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:50.759
Okay, Like he must have been
very vaguely involved. So Erotic Confessions

111
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:59.800
was a TV series and it had
directors. It was directed by Peter Gaving's

112
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:05.959
unch and Mary Ronan Hmm or Marcy
Ronan. Excuse me, he's always messing

113
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.759
up names. I don't really see
anybody on here that I recognize. That's

114
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.399
that's interesting, I mean, and
it was. It was distributed by Millennium

115
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:16.240
Pictures, which is kind of a
stalwart in the studio for quite a while.

116
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:18.360
I mean, they still are,
but they went through a really bad

117
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.160
restructure. When we were watching our
disc right before, you know, we

118
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.319
were getting ready for the movie and
all the trailers before, and it was

119
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:26.759
like, oh my god, I
forgot Millennium was behind these movies like The

120
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:30.439
Iceman. That was that was their
big era of theatricals. Yeah, and

121
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.480
that's why they almost went bankrupt.
I think I would. I would say,

122
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.399
that's very clear. I've I've done
work with people from Millennium. I've

123
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.240
never done business with Millennium, but
literally with some of the people who work

124
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:43.200
there. Uh, Millennium had they
had no association with Magnolia, right,

125
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.679
No, I don't think so.
Yeah, no, Magnolia and Magnagnet Yeah,

126
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.720
no, Magnolia. The most interesting
about Magnolia was that one of the

127
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.919
main owners was Mark Cuban. Yeah. Yeah, So finishing us off with

128
00:08:56.120 --> 00:09:01.159
our crew is the cinematographer tim Or. This gentle has quite a resume.

129
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:05.600
Enrique so starts with George Washington in
two thousand, does a film called Raising

130
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.360
Victor Vargas, two thousand and two, Dandy Lyon and four, The Undertoe

131
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.759
and four, and then he kind
of gets a career spike in two thousand

132
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:16.120
and five with a little film called
The Baxter. Oh, he shot the

133
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.360
Backs. He shot the back I
bet you. I bet you. He's

134
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:22.159
worked with that group multiple times,
because that's why I recognize the name more

135
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.639
so. Then he goes on to
do Little Manhattan in two thousand and five,

136
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.360
You're the Dog in two thousand and
seven, Choke in two thousand and

137
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:31.159
eight, then Pineapple Express, and
he shot Observant Reports. He did Thanks

138
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:35.879
Driving nineport, one of my favorite
movies of all time, Observant Report,

139
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.840
so that he goes from Observant Report
to Eastbound and Down. The same year

140
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:43.919
does Bloodworth, Then he does Your
Highness in twenty eleven, The Sitter Seeking

a Friend for the End of the
World, Get Stuck in Love Joe with

142
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:50.720
Nicholas Cage Oh twenty thirteen, U
Search Party twenty fourteen, Our Brand Is

143
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.559
Crisis twenty fifteen, Pee Wee's Big
Holiday twenty sixteen The Professor, which is

144
00:09:54.600 --> 00:10:00.000
a really really good Johnny Depp movie
where he finds out that he has cans

145
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.519
and so he decides for his like
last semester that he's going to teach the

146
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:05.720
class how he wants to do all
the things he wants to It's a really

147
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.720
really cute movie. Palms in twenty
nineteen, and then most recently, Stray's

148
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:15.039
twenty twenty three straight Fun, Fun, Well tim or Yeah, I knew.

149
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:16.919
I knew that name, and now
I know exactly why, because if

150
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:22.399
he worked on Observant Report and The
Baxter, those are two highly like deeply

151
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.919
criminally underrated films solid that I that
I adore, and two films that I

152
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:31.600
tend to bring to everybody's attention is
The Baxter. And I mean I literally

153
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:33.360
was at my buddy Jeff's house a
couple of months back and he had a

154
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:37.679
copy of The Baxter on his shelf, and I literally went, dide,

155
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:39.759
you have a copy of The Baxter
and he went yeah, And I was

156
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:41.360
like, did I give that to
you? And he was like, no,

157
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:45.480
I bought it myself, and I
was like, weird. I would

158
00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.200
just assume I gifted it because there
was a year I bought everybody a copy

159
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:52.960
of The Baxter for Christmas. Baxter, Eddie Presley's Diehard Dive I did.

160
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.279
I went to my used store.
This was like twenty ten, twenty eleven

161
00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:00.360
era, maybe twenty twelve, thirteen. Yeah, I went to my used

162
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.799
video store and just bought every DVD
copy of die Hard. Then one year

163
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.360
I bought every copy they had of
Observant Report, and then one year I

164
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.919
got every copy that was used on
Amazon of Eddie Presley. So well,

165
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.200
because you know, you give a
gift, you know, someone to like

166
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:18.639
a movie that I I mean,
I think that those are all great films.

167
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.639
With Burr passing away, it's pretty
much I mean, they don't know

168
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:30.879
where the film is, so I
I mean, I unfortunately don't think it's

169
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:35.679
very likely, but I would love
to see it properly as well. Absolutely,

170
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:39.200
But you know, you know,
now you made me sad. I

171
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.000
was already sorry. But Eddie a
really good movie, by the way.

172
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.320
Yeah, no, it'll end up
on the show. It'll be It's an

173
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:52.200
Eddie Presley on the show is inevitable, so straight into darkness and probably Stepfather.

174
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.120
Yeah, we should really just do
a burr month. I'd be down

175
00:11:54.159 --> 00:12:00.799
for that. Actually, well that's
a little late, good suggestion when we're

176
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.480
already in that month. It was
the first thing that came to mind.

177
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:05.679
You did a bad job. I
did a bad job. Did a bad

178
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.120
Joe. Now I'm gonna. Now, I'm gonna. I'm gonna get myself

179
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.679
back on track with a synopsis of
Stuck in Love and Acclaimed Writer And this

180
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.159
is the IMDb synopsis and a claim
writer, his ex wife, and their

181
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.480
teenage children come to terms with the
complexities of love and all its forms over

182
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.639
the course of one tumultuous year.
That's how hete my synopsis. A writer

183
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.639
dealing with writer's block after his ex
wife left him three years ago, must

184
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:28.159
figure out how to navigate the ups
and downs of raising his children, who

185
00:12:28.200 --> 00:12:33.759
are dealing with complexities of love.
I like yours less, Thanks, Bud,

186
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:35.960
I'm being honest. I've told you
when yours are better, I like

187
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.480
yours less. That's fine. You
focus too much on the dad, the

188
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.039
dad. I feel like the the
the dad plot is actually like the C

189
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.320
story. I would agree, No, I totally agree. So having that

190
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.960
open with him, it makes the
movie sound like it's All about Greg Kinnear,

191
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.559
which which, by the way,
is the name of his debut album,

192
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.279
All About Greg Kinnear. So do
you remember the first time you saw

193
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:03.480
this? So I had a recommendation
from a good friend who said that I

194
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:05.960
needed to watch Stuck in Love.
And that was you. Oh, it

195
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.879
was it was me? It was
okay. Yeah. And also quick side

196
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.480
note, readily available on many streaming
services. Don't don't hesitate to just look

197
00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:16.480
for it. You'll find it and
you'll be able to watch it. So

198
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:18.000
it was me who made you watch
it. I didn't realize that, but

199
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:22.240
in typical Dave fashion, you know, I probably waited a good couple of

200
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.279
years before I took up that recommendation. Really, yeah, because it would

201
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.039
have been twenty fourteen. Yeah,
and that's I think twenty sixteen is when

202
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:33.279
I watched this because I recalled that
i'd gotten it at one of our stores

203
00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:35.360
that is unfortunately closed by this point. But I used DVD stories to good

204
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:39.720
to all the time, and I
I buy movies and they sit on my

205
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.720
shelf unfortunately sometimes, and this was
one of them. And then, yeah,

206
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.080
you and I are similar in the
fact that when we're feeling pain or

207
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:50.799
just feeling down that we sometimes will
watch things that just devastate us more maybe

208
00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:54.840
yeah, uh maybe, And you
had warned me that Stuck in Love was

209
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:58.879
one of those movies. So I
put it on and I was just absolutely

210
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.679
blown away by the film. I
just I really really liked it, and

211
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:03.559
it didn't make me feel any better. But at the same time, I

212
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:07.480
really enjoyed the movie. I mean, and what really matters is that you

213
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:13.480
didn't feel That's what helps me so
well. Stuck in Love for me was

214
00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:18.480
a random Netflix find. I was
up one night probably it was probably like

215
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.919
midnight or eleven o'clock at night or
something, and it would have been twenty

216
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:24.840
fourteen. And the reason I know
it's twenty fourteen is because right after I

217
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:26.480
watched this movie, I was like, well, what else has this guy

218
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:30.720
done? And and Fault Stars was
coming out, like coming out, it

219
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.200
was coming out in like three weeks. I remember that. So I start

220
00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:35.360
watching it and I'm like, oh, this is cool, like this is

221
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.840
cute. I like movies like this. And I watched it all the way

222
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.519
through, stayed up till like three
in the morning, crying my eyes out.

223
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:50.799
That was completely engrossed in Stuck in
love. It sucks you in.

224
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:54.960
It does, And it's really a
movie mostly about the most painful and hellish

225
00:14:56.080 --> 00:15:01.679
parts of being in love, but
very different directions. Yeah, no,

226
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:05.200
absolutely, it covers so many with
the story of the family and how everybody

227
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:09.720
is dealing with some something. It
opens up the story to go all sorts

228
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.279
of places. I mean, from
young love to old love, all of

229
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:18.960
that is exactly, and from dating
a problem person to being the problem person.

230
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:22.879
Yeah, it's it's very very interesting
how they how they do it.

231
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:26.080
So before we jump into this,
I have to ask Dave, what's your

232
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:31.399
greatest heartbreak? Share it on the
show You Chose, You Chose Stuck in

233
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:35.159
Love? Now you can't not talk
about heartbreak. I can absolutely not talk

234
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.799
about heartbreak. Why so why wouldn't
you talk about it? Because I don't

235
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.360
want to share that right now,
right now? How long ago was it

236
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.919
college? Oh my god, that
was like twenty five years ago. Oh,

237
00:15:48.039 --> 00:16:00.960
come on, do you even?
Movie will be right back, Welcome

238
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:10.080
back to do you even movie?
I was a shitty person to somebody and

239
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:12.840
it's oh that's the worst one.
Took me a while to really come to

240
00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:18.840
terms with the fact that when you
when you chase after somebody after you've wronged

241
00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:21.879
them, and you try, you
know, and you and you technically get

242
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:25.840
several chances from them and fuck everyone
up. Yeah, you kind of have

243
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:27.080
to look in the mirror and be
like, Okay, maybe maybe I was

244
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:32.799
the problem with that. I can
see why you were. You were resisting

245
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:37.279
because nothing's worse than when you're the
asshole. See luckily I am perfect,

246
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:48.559
so uh but no, I it
was it was a situation where I let

247
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:55.799
myself get into a mindset that really
wasn't I don't know how to say this,

248
00:16:55.919 --> 00:17:00.240
and just I let somebody into my
life that I really enjoyed spending time

249
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.759
with him being around, and the
pay that I gave them was of some

250
00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:07.240
really shitty moves on my part.
In our we weren't even really dating per

251
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.400
se, but it was just we
we enjoyed each other's company, and things

252
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:17.000
went really south when some issues arose
that I didn't handle properly. But I

253
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:21.519
was also in my early twenties issues. Yeah, I mean, I'm trying

254
00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:26.000
not to legitimately like make you spill
all your but at the same time,

255
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:29.759
you're really just making us want to
know more. Well, maybe maybe we'll

256
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:30.640
get there at the end of the
episode. I mean, I'm just I'm

257
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:33.400
just asking, you know, So
this is you were with a person.

258
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:37.759
Yeah, we'll assume a man and
no, no, but you were in

259
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:42.480
a kind of situation ship I guess. Yeah. In college that there was.

260
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:47.599
I went to an art school and
everybody was very promiscuous, myself included.

261
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:49.839
So you know, we we have
too many jokes. I'm not going

262
00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:56.039
to go that's fine, but a
large portion of us scot around, best

263
00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:00.279
way I can say it. And
this person in particular, I really really

264
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:03.680
had feelings for. I really enjoy
I really enjoyed their company, and you

265
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:06.960
know, we we were thinking about
getting serious for a while. But then

266
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:11.880
I had another prior relationship opened back
up in Troy while I was in Mason,

267
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:15.839
and yeah he was. He went
to school about hour and a half

268
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:19.640
south of where he had grown up. So when that relationship opened back up,

269
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:22.440
I kind of pursued the one in
Troy, not even taking into account

270
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:26.680
of the other person's feelings back when
I'm oh, man, that is crummy.

271
00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:30.240
It was very shitty. Ouch.
Yeah, so why were you such

272
00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:33.000
a cop? Yeah? No,
I was like there there there's no denying

273
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.200
it. On that one like that, that is something like I still I

274
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:41.039
don't hold tight to it because you
have to move past those things. You

275
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:42.039
can't live in the past. But
like that is still one that'll kind of

276
00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:45.640
pop up every now and then.
I'm just like, man, if there

277
00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:49.759
is one relationship or you know,
whatever you want to call it, that

278
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:52.039
that really still stands out today.
That was just kind of like, damn,

279
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:56.359
I really shouldn't have done that that. It's that one. I think

280
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:59.440
you should suffer more. You should
hold that closer to you all the time.

281
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:07.279
She's block be on LinkedIn. Please
no, David. Yeah, that's

282
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:11.960
the saddest story I've ever heard.
I don't even have a sound effect.

283
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:15.519
No you don't. That was that
was the That was the final nail,

284
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.319
the coffin where it's like I'm never
going to talk to her or see her

285
00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:25.799
again. And that's when someone blocks
you on LinkedIn. It's over. I

286
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:30.559
mean, there's no doubt about that. Holy mackerel, there you go.

287
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:33.839
I well, first of all,
you should talk about your personal life more,

288
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:36.599
because I might not have asked that
question if I knew that story.

289
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:42.519
That's numero uno ye fair I see. I mean, I have some big

290
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:47.839
heartbreaks in my life. But my
first girlfriend was very similar to the girl

291
00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:51.319
in UH and Stuck in Love,
And that's one of the reasons that it

292
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:56.400
clicked with me and hit me so
hard. I was with an absolute train

293
00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:00.599
wreck of a girl. She wasn't
a drug addict, but honestly being a

294
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.119
drug addict, which will you know, we'll get to that in a minute,

295
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:07.640
you know, let me get the
spoiler button spoiler alert. But the

296
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.720
girl who was addicted to drugs like
that, at least you can kind of

297
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:14.039
excuse, like, oh, you
know, you need to get help.

298
00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:18.240
No. I was just with like
a crazy person, like a truly insane

299
00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:22.559
person who gas lit me and threatened
me and made me afraid to leave.

300
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:26.119
And I was like, seventeen,
Yeah, it's a lot. So it's

301
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:30.119
a lot to take on as your
first relationship, man. And but you

302
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.359
know, I think that it's given
me a I guess I would call it

303
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:40.119
an interesting perspective on relationship because I
don't I'm not a cynic at all.

304
00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:47.319
I'm actually a pretty obnoxious romantic.
But thanks. But I'm not saying like

305
00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:49.119
you're you're the mister matchmaker, but
I mean you are. You are a

306
00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:55.839
romantic. I know I am a
romantic, not a romantic, because now

307
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:59.680
there's all these new words we have
to learn freaking millennials. I'm an old

308
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:02.759
one, you're a young one.
It's sad, but no, no,

309
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:07.480
but that being said, it does
kind of like paint you in a different

310
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:10.880
way. Yeah, it kind of
paints love in a different way. Absolutely,

311
00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:18.079
And so I love when stories are
very complicated about emotions and feelings.

312
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:23.119
And also I really love the idea
that this young guy's first relationship, yeah,

313
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:27.319
was so troubled because early on in
the movie, Greg Kinnear's character is

314
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:33.119
literally like, you need to get
in trouble, go do some things because

315
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:36.759
like he read some quote from some
author, which I thought was the dumbest

316
00:21:36.759 --> 00:21:38.039
fucking quote I've ever heard. Yeah, that said that like, by the

317
00:21:38.039 --> 00:21:41.319
time you're twenty, you should have
all the experience you need to write a

318
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:44.519
lifetime's worth of books. Yeah,
And I was like, well, number

319
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:47.200
one, Yeah, if you're like
fucking Hemingway and you just drink yourself to

320
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:49.440
let them blow your brains up,
sure, yeah, but you know,

321
00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:53.119
no, if you actually want to
like make it to seventy also, that

322
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:56.640
makes me mad because that makes me
think that people were smarter than me in

323
00:21:56.680 --> 00:22:02.440
their twenties, and I don't appreciate
that kind of insult. I will say

324
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:10.160
I was seldom the asshole. I'm
being honest, but I could have picked

325
00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:15.039
them better. So that's my big
one is like, I definitely when I

326
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.279
was young, I definitely fell for
that trap of like I can help you,

327
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:22.680
I can I can fix you.
And and that's a trapping I think

328
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:26.559
a lot of young men fall into, and a lot of older men fall

329
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:29.759
into. I mean, it's just
it's just a man thing to want to

330
00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:34.519
help and uh yeah. So you
know, there's an old joke where it's

331
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:40.039
like, whenever you meet a girl
who's like stunningly attractive, like traditionally a

332
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:47.640
gorgeous and she's a single, it's
like, what's wrong with her? And

333
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:48.799
they always say like, oh,
I'm really picky or whatever. And then

334
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:55.480
you're like, ah, it's borderline
personality disorder again. I gotta sound for

335
00:22:55.519 --> 00:23:00.680
that. You ready to get into
the movie. What else? Yeah?

336
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:03.559
Exactly? Okay, No, no, I love this film and I can't

337
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:04.559
wait to talk about it. So
let's go into our cast real quick.

00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:19.160

it. Well, I don't want

373
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:12.359
lines in all of cinema history.
That's only funny to history nerds. What

374
00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:17.319
is that? There's a part where
the uh where DiCaprio's character is taking a

375
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:19.880
drink of beer and she says interesting
coming from the white South African and he

376
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:23.200
looks at it goes, I'm from
Rhodesia, and she goes, we call

377
00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:26.480
that Zimbabwe now, and he looks
at right in the face and goes,

378
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:32.319
do we I remember that? If
you are a history nerd, It's like

379
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:36.920
the best moment ever. Do we? She also was in Noah in twenty

And I want to mention first time

384
00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.160
I remember her was the Rocketeer.
Oh yeah, I watched the rocket Teer.

385
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:53.440
Literally, I just taught the Rocketeer
on Voodoo because I haven't seen it

386
00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:56.880
in a while. I haven't seen
it in forever. We could watch that

387
00:25:56.920 --> 00:26:00.200
after this. Uh I actually I
have to watch my error that night.

388
00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:06.759
I'm actually like getting ready to block
you on link man. Shut the hell

389
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:10.960
up. I'm sorry, but you
can't. You told me that because you

390
00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:14.279
knew it was fun. Because that's
the bluntness that I can deliver. The

391
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:17.640
like, because it's like, on
one hand, it's like, oh my

392
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:19.279
god, LinkedIn doesn't even matter,
but when you're blocked in something that doesn't

393
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:22.880
even matter, it matters so much. Yeah, no, no, I

394
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:30.279
really I really like Whoa man?
Whoa? Anyway, But Jennifer Connelly wonderful

395
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:33.240
actress, amazing since she was a
kid. Yeah so yeah, anyway,

396
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.799
Advantaging goes off as Lily Collins.
She plays Samantha Borgain's the daughter in this

397
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:41.480
film. She voiced did a voice
in Tarzan and the Disney Tarzan in ninety

398
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:42.960
nine. She was on nine O
two one oh in two thousand and nine,

399
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:47.920
The blind Side, and nine Priest
twenty eleven, Taylor Lautner's Abduction in

400
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:51.480
twenty eleven, Remember that movie.
I don't That was when they tried to

401
00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:56.359
make him an action star and it
failed miserably. I do remember that because

402
00:26:56.359 --> 00:27:00.759
they basically like recut the trailer to
looked like Taken because the trailer did so

403
00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:03.279
poorly well, which is funny because
the first Taken trailer, it's like the

404
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:07.960
worst trailer I've ever seen in the
history of cinema. And that's saying because

405
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.359
the movie's so good. Yeah,
that's why I can say that, so

406
00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:14.039
so bluntly. So she does Stuck
in Love in twenty twelve, goes on

407
00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:17.079
to do The English Teacher in twenty
thirteen, Mortal Instrument, City of Bones

408
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:19.720
in twenty thirteen, Love Rosie in
twenty fourteen. Rules Don't Apply, Oak

409
00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:23.680
Jube the Last Tycoon, a Wizard's
Tale, Le mis Rob extremely wicked and

410
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:26.799
shockingly evil and vile, which I
forgot she was in. Hey, she's

411
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:32.000
one of the victims. Huh uh. But then's also Picture Oh God.

412
00:27:32.480 --> 00:27:36.200
Then there was mank Curve of Your
Enthusiasm in Honey twenty one, Windfall in

413
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:38.160
twenty twenty two, and she's also
on Emily in Paris, which has been

414
00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:41.000
on Netflix, I want to say, for like three years, now I

415
00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:44.519
think that was third season and she's
the star. Okay, yeah, I've

416
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:47.000
not seen a lot of those.
Ye if you have, I have yet.

417
00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:48.400
Oh good stuff. All right,
you ready to get into the movie.

418
00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:53.279
Sure? All right, So Stuck
in Love we open with a voiceover

419
00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:57.160
as we see Rusty who is the
Sun, and he's looking at Kate in

420
00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:00.920
the classroom, and you hear him
say, I remember the hurt, looking

421
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:03.240
at her hurt, and that becomes
kind of a theme for the film.

422
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.000
Yeah, yeah, it definitely sets
the tone. Yeah, and he's looking

423
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:11.240
at this cute young girl who is
asleep at her desk yep, as her

424
00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:17.119
nose starts to lead just a little
bit. Yeah, and when she wakes

425
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:19.160
up, her response is just like, oh yeah, it does that sometimes.

426
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:25.680
Yeah, foreshadowing. I mean,
all I'm saying is, you know,

427
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:30.559
looks like you got a troubled young
lady. Better throw your better get

428
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:33.400
her pregnant, now save yourself the
trouble. So I do want to point

429
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.240
out that Rusty is played by nat
Wolf, who many will know from his

430
00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:41.519
role as the brother in Hereditary.
Yeah. This is I think like four

431
00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:44.880
years before Hereditary, and he looks
the exact same. Yeah, he definitely

432
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:47.319
could play. He played a high
schooler for like a good eight years.

433
00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:49.440
Yeah he did. No, he
definitely did. So he is looking at

434
00:28:49.519 --> 00:28:52.759
Kate her nose against the bleed,
so he points it out to her and

435
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:53.839
she says, yeah, it does
that sometimes, and he just kind of

436
00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:57.240
watches her as she leaves the classroom
and goes to her boyfriend after class,

437
00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:00.279
and you kind of see that he
is just kind of crushing on her.

438
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:03.599
You think, yeah, just a
bit. I like that her boyfriend is

439
00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:07.160
like such a chad. Oh yeah, Like like they're not even trying to

440
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:11.279
be subtle. They're just like,
here's this fucking macho chad and you're like,

441
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:15.119
okay, cool. So then we
meet Samantha who's talking about her life,

442
00:29:15.160 --> 00:29:18.000
and then she's talking to a guy
at a party and just has all

443
00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:22.640
these life I guess theories that she's
going about, and then she basically ends

444
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:23.200
it by saying, you know,
do you want us to go back to

445
00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:27.160
your place? And fuck, I
mean she says it pretty much exactly like

446
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:30.559
yeah, yeah, yeah, just
bluntly, and he like chokes on his

447
00:29:30.640 --> 00:29:33.480
drain. It's a very nice silly
intro to the movie. YEA, to

448
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:41.079
make sure you understand this is a
very talented Chlamydia Riddle writer. She explains

449
00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:42.480
that that's what they both want on
one night's stan. He agrees. They

450
00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:45.119
go back to his dorm and she
notices that he has a copy of Stephen

451
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:48.960
King's It on his nightstand. She
asked him if he's a King fan,

452
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:51.000
and he's like, no, that's
my roommates. He's like, do you

453
00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:52.160
like it? And she's like,
no, my brother loves Steve. Well,

454
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:56.599
you got the order of Reverse?
Oh did I? She asks you

455
00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:00.480
like that? Or he asks her, do you like Steve? It makes

456
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:07.319
me think of my brother. He's
lying. So they begin to strip and

457
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:11.559
they get to it, and then
we meet Bill who is smoking a cigarette

458
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:14.359
in his car and he gets out
and he sneaks around the house and we

459
00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:15.920
see that he is looking on on
his ex wife, who has played by

460
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:21.599
Jennifer Connley who's Erica, and he
is watching her and her new boyfriend is

461
00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:26.079
a husband boyfriend. I don't know
if they're married, address they're married fight

462
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:29.279
and he's just kind of looking and
watching him, and then they start to

463
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:33.519
they start to make out. They
make up, make out yeah, and

464
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:36.319
then that's when a dog comes to
the window starts barking at him, gets

465
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:37.960
his attention, and he runs off
and runs away from the window, and

466
00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:41.640
the dog chases him all the way
to his car. It is very funny

467
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:47.400
in that like impossibly sad kind of
one that absolutely is enduring him watching it.

468
00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:49.480
He he basically states that when he
watches her, he feels like he's

469
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:52.880
watching some odds sitcom where the main
character in his place, one of the

470
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:57.000
main characters have been replaced. Yeah, which is a very powerful way to

471
00:30:57.000 --> 00:31:11.240
put it. I think Do You
Even movie will be right back, welcome

472
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:18.319
back to Do You Even? Movie. So then we see Bill's house on

473
00:31:18.359 --> 00:31:21.319
the beach. Him and his son
are preparing Thanksgiving dinner. It's a really

474
00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:23.240
cute moment between them. You know, he's opening the wine, they're putting

475
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:26.720
the turkey together, they're doing all
the side dishes. Well, I mean

476
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:30.680
that's the whole opening credits. Yeah, is just they're they're making Thanksgiving dinner

477
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:33.920
and it's insanely wholesome. I really
enjoyed it. So his daughter comes over,

478
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:36.720
and it's funny because when she comes
to the door, at first,

479
00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:40.359
he jokingly shuts in her face and
then opens it back like angrily yeah,

480
00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:42.480
And they all sit down to dinner
and Samantha announces that her book is getting

481
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:47.160
published through King's Publisher, which is, oh god, I can't write the

482
00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:51.240
scribner scribner yeah, Which that's when
Rusty is like, oh, you're using

483
00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:53.160
King's Publisher. And that's when Samantha
declares that there's a lot of publishers that

484
00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:56.640
use it. She didn't know it
was a competition. Yeah. Yeah.

485
00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:00.039
She actually gets like awfully defensive.
Yeah. And they debate who had DIBs

486
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:04.200
on scripner, but Bill is quickly
to embrace them with the toast and celebrate

487
00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:06.759
this, and that's when she tells
him that she submitted the book under a

488
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:08.400
fake name so that they wouldn't know
that she was the daughter of him,

489
00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:12.839
because he is a he's a published
writer, he's got two books out,

490
00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:15.720
and he's a miles celebrity. He's
well known. Yeah no, no,

491
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:20.519
he's got he's been a very successful
writer. Yeah. So she submitted under

492
00:32:20.559 --> 00:32:23.599
a fake name. And she also
unveils that she didn't publish they're not publishing

493
00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:27.839
her book, just saying hi,
which offends Bill because he was the one

494
00:32:27.839 --> 00:32:30.160
that edited the book, read over
that book and helps her with it.

495
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:32.920
And she is completely going with something
different. Yeah. She reveals that over

496
00:32:32.960 --> 00:32:37.160
the summer she wrote a totally different
book and that's the book that they took.

497
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:38.720
Yeah, so they kind of get
into a little bit of a fight

498
00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:42.960
and Rusty states that he's going to
go over to Erica's house, and he

499
00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:45.400
asked if Samantha wants to go,
and she says no, but tell mom

500
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:49.400
to drop dead, which is nice
since the holidays. Yeah, so we

501
00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:52.519
see him outside of Erica's house and
he's smoking a bull, and then we

502
00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:55.000
see them sitting down at dinner with
her. People might not understand what that

503
00:32:55.039 --> 00:33:00.599
means, smoking a bull as weed
children he's smoking Marijuan Maara Jawa. I'm

504
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:02.720
just I'm sorry, Dave. You're
like what everybody knows that, bro,

505
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:06.240
Like that's what you do in college. Bro, You just like smoke a

506
00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:08.720
bull and then you like fuck it. You like beat down on the nerds,

507
00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:12.680
bro, and then get brought to
LinkedIn. Bro. I didn't even

508
00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:19.359
say it. I was being nice, but yes, that's exactly accurate.

509
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:24.240
You deserve all the bad things.
So her boyfriend Martin or Erica's husband is

510
00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:29.599
They're all sitting downe at dinner and
uh, that's when he makes a comment

511
00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:34.440
basically because Rusty tells the family that
Erica or that Samantha's getting her book published,

512
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:37.599
and Martin has a comment that basically
Bill makes it so that all his

513
00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:39.839
kids have to be writers, and
that pisses off Rusty. Yeah, yeah,

514
00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:44.839
he ba because apparently their dad would
make them write journals. Yeah,

515
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:47.160
but by make, I mean encourage
heavily. Yeah, encourage it so he

516
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:52.240
would he would pay them to write
journal entries instead of having jobs, so

517
00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:54.079
he could focus on their writing.
So Rusty kind of loses a little bit

518
00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:57.920
and Martin looks at him ask him
if he's high, and that's when Erica

519
00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:00.200
excuses them most of the kitchen,
and she asked about the legitimacy of Sam's

520
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:04.079
book being published, and you know, what's going on with Rusty, And

521
00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:07.680
she asked what if Sam said anything? And Rusty lies that she said Hi.

522
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:10.280
Buddy also says that he's just going
to stick to weed nothing else.

523
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:14.400
Well, she demands that she's like
stick to weed and nothing anything else.

524
00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:16.320
So Sam joins Bill on the beach
as he's smoking, and they bicker more

525
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:20.360
about the book, and his offense
is basically that, you know, she

526
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:22.960
didn't use anything that he helped her
with, and that's when she states that

527
00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:24.440
she didn't want to do it with
his help. She wanted to prove that

528
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:30.159
she could do it on her own, which is such a like fortunate white

529
00:34:30.199 --> 00:34:32.840
people thing to do. It's like, I didn't want to have the advantage

530
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:36.480
of having a famous dad who was
the writer. I wanted to do something

531
00:34:36.519 --> 00:34:38.760
really hard by myself. It's like, dude, if you knew what a

532
00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:42.360
life was like where you couldn't get
any of that stuff done, you'd take

533
00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:45.599
every opportunity you got. Well,
but it's a cute content and it's a

534
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:49.440
cute moment too, because you know
he's he's kind of just pouting on the

535
00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:51.239
beach and she's like, like,
you don't do you even want to read

536
00:34:51.280 --> 00:34:52.960
the new one? And he's like
nope, no fucking way. Yeah,

537
00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:54.920
and that's when she's like, well, I brought you a copy. I

538
00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:57.760
can leave it on your desk and
I can even sign it for you.

539
00:34:57.800 --> 00:34:59.639
He's like yeah, He's just like, you know, leave it and I'll

540
00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:02.679
read it. So that's when they
we see that he goes back into the

541
00:35:02.679 --> 00:35:06.599
house and sees that Rusty is writing
a poem for English class, and Sam

542
00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:09.000
tells him that he will have a
book one day, and that's when Rusty

543
00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:10.800
tells her that he's got a little
bit of weeds. So we see them

544
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:15.440
go out to the roof and spoke
together. Yeah, and that's when he

545
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:17.360
tells her about Kate in his English
class, and she gives him the advice

546
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:22.079
that there are hopeless romantics and they're
a realist and the hopeless romantics are the

547
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:24.800
ones that chase after girls, and
the realists are the ones that get laid

548
00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:29.559
Yeah, that's basically the point of
it. She says, there is no

549
00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:32.480
god in life is meaningful guys who
get laid more on a realist meaningless sorry,

550
00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:37.559
and avoid love at all costs.
And she is says love is setting

551
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:39.119
a place at a table for someone
who's never coming to dinner. Because that's

552
00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:43.599
one thing we did gloss over is
that for the Thanksgiving Bill did set a

553
00:35:43.639 --> 00:35:45.480
place for Erica. Yeah, there's
an empty spot at the table. That

554
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:50.920
becomes a theme again. YEAHLM.
So Rusty reads his poem next in English

555
00:35:50.960 --> 00:35:53.280
class and the words are catching Kate's
attention. Kate grabs him after class,

556
00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:57.719
telling him that she liked the poem
and they talk about their Thanksgiving before a

557
00:35:57.760 --> 00:36:00.079
boyfriend calls her over. We see
Bill and reading on the beach when Tricia,

558
00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:04.000
his neighbor played by Kristen Bell,
comes running up. Ah. Yes,

559
00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:07.760
she comes, jogging up in her
sports braad tights. Yes and uh,

560
00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:09.960
and says she has twenty minutes and
they gotta make it quick. Yeah,

561
00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:13.519
and then she starts running toward the
house. Yeah. And we reveal

562
00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:15.840
that they are having a kind of
well, uh, he's not having,

563
00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:23.719
he's having and uh, they're having
what I would call deeply transactional setting.

564
00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:29.440
So that's pretty accurate. Yeah.
Yeah, Like there is clearly nothing about

565
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:31.519
this sex that is romantic. No. And I mean, and Bill doesn't

566
00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:34.880
even look like he's enjoying it,
to be hod, He's just doing it

567
00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:37.039
because it's something you do. Yeah, it's just something you just sleep with

568
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:38.960
the hot blonde neighbor. So afterwards, she's chugging a glass of water in

569
00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:42.679
the kitchen before she tells him she's
got to run and Thursday to be ready,

570
00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:44.880
she'll be back. Yeah, Thursday, I'll be here, be ready,

571
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:46.119
And he's like, uh, yes, ma'am. So later that day,

572
00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:50.480
Rusty returns home and he catches Bill
sitting at his desk reading his journal,

573
00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:52.159
and he apologizes, stating that he
was just checking the dates to make

574
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:54.360
sure he was writing, and you
know, Russy's pissed him, but he

575
00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:57.360
says, you know, I was
checking the dates, but something did pop

576
00:36:57.360 --> 00:37:00.559
out at him and he comments on, I remember that it hurt looking at

577
00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:04.039
her hurt. And he says that's
the kind of thing that would grab people

578
00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:07.280
to read a book. It made
me have to read more. Yeah,

579
00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:09.079
and that's his excuse for reading further. And that's when Bill states that,

580
00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:12.880
you know, Samantha's a good writer, and he can be a good writer

581
00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:15.519
too, but the reason Samantha is
a good writer is because she's courageous.

582
00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:19.199
And that's when Rusty comments that she's
promiscuous. There's a difference. But Bill

583
00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:21.440
goes on to say that you know, she is out there living life.

584
00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:22.480
You need to go live your life. Yeah, He's like, go out

585
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:25.880
there, get addicted to heroin Kate's
you know, just like, come on,

586
00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:30.039
kid. So we then see Russy
and his friend Jason go to a

587
00:37:30.360 --> 00:37:32.039
party and they are denied at first, but then he's like, well,

588
00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:34.880
what are you What were we gonna
do with all this weed? We brought

589
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:38.639
yea gargantuan bag of weed. Gets
the man and they're welcomed, and Rodney,

590
00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:40.960
the guy that blocked him at first, tells Russy that Kate is upstairs

591
00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:45.760
because he's looking for Kate. We
then see sam is at a bar watching

592
00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:47.559
a concert, and I'm the lead
singer, and behind her one of the

593
00:37:47.599 --> 00:37:52.840
bandmates, Lewis, who is played
by what is his name? Well,

594
00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:54.360
while you're figuring out, I just
want to point out that, like,

595
00:37:54.440 --> 00:38:00.000
my goodness, why is Kate the
troubled girl name? Yeah? In life?

596
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:02.039
Yeah, I just want to know
that. I mean, that's a

597
00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:06.679
fair question. I just it was
worth mentioning because that was the first thought

598
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:07.719
I had when I watched them the
first time. I was like, man,

599
00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:12.880
I don't know if I've ever known
a well well doing Kate, at

600
00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:15.519
least not as a teenager. So
Lewis is eyeing Samantha, She's eye the

601
00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:17.920
lead singer, and the eyed singers. The lead singer is eyeing her.

602
00:38:17.960 --> 00:38:22.199
Back back at the party, though, Rusty finds Kate upstairs in a bathroom

603
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:24.760
doing cocaine. Yeah, they're they're
just hog in the bathroom so they can

604
00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:29.440
do their toot. So she slams
the door and Rusty goes back downstairs,

605
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:31.280
telling Jason he wants to leave.
He then catches sight of Kate and her

606
00:38:31.280 --> 00:38:35.199
boyfriend fighting at the top of the
stairs. They come down the steps and

607
00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:37.639
that's when he shoves it to the
ground, and Rusty's not having this,

608
00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:39.320
so he throws a punch and knocks
him to the ground. He just not

609
00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:43.000
I mean, he just freaking shines
his shoes. Yeah, no, he

610
00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:50.239
absolutely, That is not a saying. But oh quick, aside about the

611
00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:53.519
English language, Yeah, if I
may that I struggle with it, that

612
00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:58.519
is fair too. Yeah. One
of the reasons English can be so hard

613
00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:04.840
to learn is because we speak extremely
poetically. But a lot of people don't

614
00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:12.280
realize that. Like if you learn
to speak Spanish and you translated exactly literally,

615
00:39:12.280 --> 00:39:14.559
it's things like, hey, could
you give me give me food?

616
00:39:14.840 --> 00:39:19.000
I like food with food, thank
you. Like it's not poetic for the

617
00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:21.199
most part. There are words that
are poetic, like, you know,

618
00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:24.000
if somebody wants to say the word
dick, they'll say southa, which means

619
00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:28.760
sausage. You know, there are
little things like that. Wavos means eggs,

620
00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:32.320
but it also means testicles. But
in American English. I actually helped

621
00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:36.559
a friend of mine who was learning
English as a third language. She spoke

622
00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:39.400
Russian and German and I and I
told her. She was like, I

623
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:44.519
just don't understand how you guys talk. And I told her dead serious,

624
00:39:44.599 --> 00:39:51.199
I was like, you need to
understand that all plural nouns mean breasts.

625
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:54.559
Look at the laptops on that girl. Look at the set of laptops on

626
00:39:54.599 --> 00:39:57.400
her. You know what I'm saying. If I say that, ye,

627
00:39:57.599 --> 00:40:01.639
man, look at those external hard
drives on her. All singular nouns are

628
00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:06.320
penises. Think about it, though, it's like it's like, uh,

629
00:40:06.679 --> 00:40:08.119
oh, man, I dropped a
you know, uh man, uh,

630
00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:15.159
don't you be talking about my envelope? Jesus Christ? And all verbs are

631
00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:22.239
farting, shitting or fucking. Yeah, that's accurate. Yeah. So but

632
00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:28.320
that being said, all verbs can
just become whatever you want, like if

633
00:40:28.320 --> 00:40:30.000
you if you just put the emphasis
right, Like when I literally said that,

634
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:34.000
yeah, he shined his shoes.
You knew exactly what I meant,

635
00:40:34.440 --> 00:40:37.480
but it didn't make any sense.
And I never heard you would say that

636
00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:39.599
about that. So that's the other
part. That's just cause he shined his

637
00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:43.639
shoes. He cleaned his clock.
He I cleaned his clock at least as

638
00:40:43.679 --> 00:40:47.039
a known saying. But but yeah, so that's my guide how to speak

639
00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:52.400
English as a second language and speak
it well. And I am the show's

640
00:40:52.440 --> 00:40:58.039
lifestyle coach here for you. So
he punches them to the ground and they

641
00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:00.119
take off, the three of them
running off. Rusty drops Jason off at

642
00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:02.920
his house and Kate tells him that
she can't go home like this, noting

643
00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:06.880
that her knees are banged up and
she'll and she's high, so she asks

644
00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:10.400
if she can go to his house
instead. Woooo, well, where's the

645
00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:15.719
I know I got a drop for
this. There we go. So we

646
00:41:15.760 --> 00:41:20.320
see Bill asleep on the deck and
his phone rings with Eric calling him telling

647
00:41:20.400 --> 00:41:22.360
him that she's here, and he's
like, well, I've been asleep out

648
00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:23.440
back. She's like, I'm out
the door. So she comes around back

649
00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:27.519
and she tells him that they need
to put their heads together and figure this

650
00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:30.480
out, and Bill at first thinks
that they're talking about them too, but

651
00:41:30.639 --> 00:41:34.239
she reveals that she's actually talking about
her relationship with Samantha, which makes sense,

652
00:41:34.280 --> 00:41:36.840
you know, because she's very focused
on their kids. Ye, he's

653
00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:39.480
very focused on her so he defends
her with being busy with the book and

654
00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:43.559
living life, and Erica tells him
to stop defending her, and Erica tells

655
00:41:43.599 --> 00:41:45.199
him also that he has to move
on with his life and be happy.

656
00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:49.079
Bill states he is happy, he
was happy with her, but she wasn't

657
00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:52.079
happy with him, adding that she
doesn't look happy now either, and she

658
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:55.920
comments on him sneaking around the house
and tells him that they are as he

659
00:41:55.920 --> 00:41:59.800
tells her that he's seen them fighting. She walks away, telling him,

660
00:42:00.079 --> 00:42:04.639
you shut up. Yeah, I
mean it's there. That wouldn't call them

661
00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:07.360
having a lot of her having a
lot of warm no for him person.

662
00:42:08.360 --> 00:42:12.480
So back at the concert, Sam
is warned by Lewis, another member of

663
00:42:12.519 --> 00:42:15.599
the band, telling her not to
sleep with the lead singer because he has

664
00:42:15.679 --> 00:42:19.719
chlamydia and he gets around a lot
too, and that's when she tells him

665
00:42:19.719 --> 00:42:22.039
that he's cute, but he's also
hopeless, romantic and not her type.

666
00:42:22.199 --> 00:42:24.920
Lewis tells her he'll see her in
class, stating that they have advanced fiction

667
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:29.360
together, and he remembers her and
she walks off. Rusty then takes Kate

668
00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:30.679
to his house. He's putting ice
on her knees, as Bill comes in

669
00:42:30.760 --> 00:42:34.880
asking who she is. Rusty introduces
her, and Bill tells her that he's

670
00:42:34.920 --> 00:42:37.159
heard a lot about her and tells
her that they have something better for her

671
00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:39.960
knees. So then he tells them
also that they're to sleep in separate rooms.

672
00:42:40.039 --> 00:42:43.559
Yeah, they're not gonna seeg you
can sleep on the couch and she

673
00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:46.960
gets sleep in your bed or get
you're not sleeping together. Yeah. So

674
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:50.880
upstairs, Rusty helps Kate get ready
for bed, turning away when she starts

675
00:42:50.880 --> 00:42:53.280
to undress, and they talk about
his father's writing career and also that his

676
00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:57.320
sister is getting the book published.
Rusty goes to excuse himself of the night,

677
00:42:57.360 --> 00:42:59.840
but Kate asks if he can just
sit with her for a little bit.

678
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:02.480
And it's important to keep in mind
they're sixteen. Yeah, so I

679
00:43:02.519 --> 00:43:07.199
just want to point that out because
it's not it's not like straight up said

680
00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:09.199
until a little later in the movie. So he sits on the bed with

681
00:43:09.239 --> 00:43:13.559
her and she asked if she was
the angel in his poem that he shared

682
00:43:13.599 --> 00:43:15.480
in class. Rusty confirms this and
they share a kiss as she tells him

683
00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:22.960
that she thinks he's gonna be good
for her. I that line, Yeah,

684
00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:25.000
you're gonna be good. I think
you're gonna be good for me.

685
00:43:25.079 --> 00:43:30.480
It's like, the problem with that
is not that she's so self centered she

686
00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:34.039
only cares about how hell have an
effect on her, although there's a little

687
00:43:34.039 --> 00:43:37.679
bit of that. Yeah, the
problem is that just feeds into that stupid

688
00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:42.119
I'm gonna save you mentality so much
like you're gonna be good for me because

689
00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:45.039
you'll actually treat me well and like
me and stuff. But let's we'll find

690
00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:47.159
out a little bit what happens when
you gets a couple of Champagnes in her.

691
00:43:47.159 --> 00:43:51.000
This is true. So we see
Sam next going to her advanced fiction

692
00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:52.360
class and she turns around to see
Lewis, who waves at her and she

693
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:55.679
turns around quickly away from him.
We see Rusty and Kate then walking the

694
00:43:55.719 --> 00:43:59.599
halls of the high school together.
They're all smiles, and we see Tricia

695
00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:04.079
and Bill post sex and Tricia tells
him how much she loves Christmas. Bill

696
00:44:04.079 --> 00:44:06.559
states he gets a bit depressed her
in the holidays, and Christia reminds him

697
00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:08.400
he's divorced. He gets depressed about
a lot of things, and that yeah,

698
00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:12.360
because she mentions, like, ah, the lights and the music and

699
00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:14.800
coming home and my husband has the
one ever set up, and you're just

700
00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:19.920
like, that's when you actually realize
she's married. Yeah, And then and

701
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:22.639
her attitude is like, you need
to be married, yeah, like you're

702
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:25.960
that's why you're so sad because you're
alone. You need to remarry remarried sites

703
00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:31.559
yeah. And it's just like it
is hilarious because she's literally cheating on her

704
00:44:31.639 --> 00:44:35.800
husband right now. She is,
and she's like, no, marriage is

705
00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:38.199
like the perfect thing, Like that's
why I'm not sad. It's like you're

706
00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:45.920
having an affair, all right,
what do you even? Movie? Will

707
00:44:45.960 --> 00:45:00.920
be right back, welcome back to
do you even? Movie? So she

708
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.400
tells him that, you know,
he is handsome, he's successful plus a

709
00:45:04.440 --> 00:45:07.199
mild celebrity, and she tells him
to think about it. We next see

710
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:09.320
Sam at a barr talking to a
different guy discussing evolution, but he says

711
00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:13.599
he doesn't believe in evolution and excuses
himself. That's when Lewis comes over.

712
00:45:13.639 --> 00:45:16.840
Well, she insults a core being
and says and mentions that like, uh,

713
00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:22.199
people who believe in evolution never get
laid yeah, which is just funny.

714
00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:24.239
Lewis comes in behind her, asking
if she was hitting on him,

715
00:45:24.320 --> 00:45:28.000
joking that he thinks he's a Mormon, before asking if they want to get

716
00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:30.480
out of here. She reminds him
that she's not interested in him, but

717
00:45:30.559 --> 00:45:32.199
he steals her jacket, telling her
that she can follow him if she wants

718
00:45:32.239 --> 00:45:35.639
to get it back. We next
see him at a restaurant and he asked

719
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:37.639
her about her favorite books. Sam
calls him out, though, warning him

720
00:45:37.800 --> 00:45:42.039
that that's basically wanting to get to
know personal information so they can act like

721
00:45:42.079 --> 00:45:44.519
they have a connection together. Yeah, and and well, and she's afraid

722
00:45:44.519 --> 00:45:46.760
that if she tells him her books, yeah, then he'll just go like,

723
00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:51.480
that's my my favorite book, which
is which is extra funny that for

724
00:45:51.519 --> 00:45:55.559
a person who who wants completely no
strings attached sex with no emotion or whatever,

725
00:45:55.599 --> 00:45:58.679
She's like, I don't want you
lying to make me like you.

726
00:45:58.760 --> 00:46:01.960
It's yeah, okay. So that's
when Lewis tells her some of his favorite

727
00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:06.199
novels, one of which being is
Dear Mister Henshaw by Beverly Cleary, and

728
00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:10.440
Sam immediately gets a little unsettled hearing
that because he's her favorite one of her

729
00:46:10.440 --> 00:46:14.480
favorite books. Yeah, So she
runs off and he's asking her what's wrong

730
00:46:14.599 --> 00:46:15.840
She states that she doesn't want to
do this, and he scolds her on

731
00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:20.280
giving herself to assholes with lower IQ's, and that's when they both split and

732
00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:22.880
walk away. We next see Kate
knock on Rusty's door as he answers asking

733
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:25.559
if his dad is home, and
Rusty states he's not. Kate says that

734
00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:29.840
she wants to give him his Christmas
present and leads him upstairs as they go

735
00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:32.599
into a closet to have sex,
because that's how they'll be able to remember

736
00:46:32.639 --> 00:46:37.039
this moment, because it's his first
time and it's her first time in a

737
00:46:37.079 --> 00:46:43.800
closet yep, which I got cute
concept. Yeah, and she's she's wearing

738
00:46:44.239 --> 00:46:46.840
they reveal she's like not wearing any
she's wearing only her underwear under her winter

739
00:46:46.960 --> 00:46:51.599
jacket. Yeah. So although it's
California, or is it California, don't

740
00:46:51.599 --> 00:46:53.519
even so, it's upstate New York. He it was filmed in North Carolina,

741
00:46:53.679 --> 00:46:58.440
So I don't know what they're if
they're faking another place instead of North

742
00:46:58.480 --> 00:47:00.199
Carolina. But that's therst film.
Well, it looks like North Carolina because

743
00:47:00.199 --> 00:47:02.000
actually, as though about it,
because the big thing is that we may

744
00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:06.440
not have mentioned Cane and them live
on a beach beach house. Yeah,

745
00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:08.599
so right on the beach, so
there's constantly the beach right there. So

746
00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:13.480
it made me think California. But
uh, that makes sense to be Carolinia.

747
00:47:13.519 --> 00:47:16.760
I mean I assumed it took place
in either like a beach town in

748
00:47:16.800 --> 00:47:21.159
California or a beach town in New
York. Yeah, or Connecticut or something.

749
00:47:21.199 --> 00:47:22.679
But he don't think. Yeah,
I don't think we ever get a

750
00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:24.199
location, and we don't need one, No, we don't. So back

751
00:47:24.199 --> 00:47:27.480
in her class, Sam turns around
to see that Lewis is not at his

752
00:47:27.559 --> 00:47:30.559
seat, so we see her driving
looking at an address, and we see

753
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:32.760
that Louis is unloading groceries from a
car. He goes inside and a caregiver

754
00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:36.800
asks or a caregiver takes the groceries, and he asks how she's doing.

755
00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:39.199
That's when we see that his mother
is on bed rest with ivs all around

756
00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:43.840
her. Yes, she's clearly extremely
ill. Yeah, so he begins to

757
00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:45.320
sit down and read to her.
As Sam enters the house, and the

758
00:47:45.320 --> 00:47:49.199
mother looks over and she asks,
am I seeing things? Or is that

759
00:47:49.239 --> 00:47:52.400
an angel at the door. Lewis
jokes that that's definitely not an angel,

760
00:47:52.440 --> 00:47:55.079
and we next see that Bill is
out Christmas shopping as he runs into Erica

761
00:47:55.119 --> 00:47:58.840
and he asked if she'd like to
join, and she's at first hesitats and

762
00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:00.360
he's like, oh, it'll just
take about to minutes, and that's when

763
00:48:00.400 --> 00:48:05.760
we see them sitting next at a
a bookstore together as Bill tells her that

764
00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:08.119
he's going to move on with his
life and he tells her that Tricia was

765
00:48:08.119 --> 00:48:12.400
the one who said that, as
he confesses that they have had time together,

766
00:48:12.559 --> 00:48:15.920
or they've had time together and they've
been having an affair, or she's

767
00:48:15.960 --> 00:48:19.159
having an affair. Yeah yeah,
She's like, oh yeah, I always

768
00:48:19.159 --> 00:48:22.920
remembered you having a question her and
her having a husband. So Bill tells

769
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:25.760
her that he's not a great writer, he's a great rewriter, and he

770
00:48:25.800 --> 00:48:30.199
sees that a future with her could
be different. It's talking about Erica his

771
00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:32.480
wife, his ex wife, and
he also tells her that he has not

772
00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:36.440
written anything since she left, and
Erica tells me he's a great writer and

773
00:48:36.480 --> 00:48:38.519
not to waste all his imagination on
her. We see them getting ready to

774
00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:42.760
leave as Erica confesses to him that
she has bad days too, not sure

775
00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:45.880
that she made the right decision,
basically telling him that she still thinks about

776
00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:47.880
them as well. Yeah, it's
a little awkward because I kind of feel

777
00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:51.679
bad for Kanear. Yeah, whenever
he talks to her, she like kind

778
00:48:51.719 --> 00:48:52.800
of gives him a lot of hope. Yeah, and I feel kind of

779
00:48:52.800 --> 00:48:55.440
awful for him, though, I
really do. I feel bad for him,

780
00:48:55.480 --> 00:48:58.639
And I mean, I think that's
one thing that we haven't said yet

781
00:48:58.760 --> 00:49:01.639
is Knear in this film is some
of his best acting of all time.

782
00:49:01.679 --> 00:49:06.679
He's very subtle, very believable.
Yes, in every way. So we

783
00:49:06.719 --> 00:49:08.519
see Samantha with Lewis's mom, stating
that it was nice to meet her.

784
00:49:08.599 --> 00:49:12.000
She goes to lead, but the
caregiver states that there's hot chocolate in the

785
00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:15.519
kitchen. As we see sam sitting
with her Lewis in the kitchen, and

786
00:49:15.559 --> 00:49:17.480
that's when he tells her that his
mother has a brain tumor. And he

787
00:49:17.519 --> 00:49:21.239
tells her that he doesn't want her
to feel sorry for him because he's enjoyed

788
00:49:21.239 --> 00:49:23.119
the back and forth that they fight
between them, but she does, so

789
00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:27.320
she dates him. Yes, literally, that's basically what happens is he finds

790
00:49:27.320 --> 00:49:30.480
out he has a dying mom and
then well, he says he says he'll

791
00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:34.559
forgive her stalking if he'll allow her
to allow him to take her on a

792
00:49:34.639 --> 00:49:37.760
date. Basically basically, so Lewis
tells her that he'll read her book on

793
00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:42.360
break because Sam gives him a copy
of the book and he says he'll read

794
00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:45.079
it over break. We see Sam
and Bill falling and are failing at making

795
00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:49.079
Christmas cookies as Rusty comes in dressed
nice, stating that he's going to go

796
00:49:49.119 --> 00:49:52.320
over to Kat's and give her her
gift. Now. Sam asked about how

797
00:49:52.360 --> 00:49:54.280
serious they are, and Bill admits
that he knows that they're having sex,

798
00:49:54.280 --> 00:50:00.800
which is a really cute moment because
this is just like really ah. So

799
00:50:00.880 --> 00:50:04.960
Sam comments on the chipperness that Bill
is expressing and he tells her that he's

800
00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:07.800
going to move on, New Year, new start. At Kate's, we

801
00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:10.719
see Rusty is given a bright eyed
CD by Kate, telling her telling him

802
00:50:10.760 --> 00:50:14.119
that it's a roadmap to her soul, and that's when he gives her a

803
00:50:14.159 --> 00:50:15.320
copy of it, but not just
any copy. As I said, what

804
00:50:15.400 --> 00:50:19.559
we were watching, boy, here
we go, Dave go on, talk

805
00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:23.480
all about your favorite book with a
eleven year old gang bang in Yes.

806
00:50:24.199 --> 00:50:30.280
In twenty fourteen. Cemetery Dance did
a re release of it that was completely

807
00:50:30.400 --> 00:50:32.719
ill had a bunch of illustrations through
it, the completely redne cover. It

808
00:50:32.760 --> 00:50:37.119
had a sleeve and everything with it. It was priced it like I think

809
00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:39.000
two fifty for the cheapest. So
the fact that that's what I was giving,

810
00:50:39.119 --> 00:50:42.719
Yeah, the fact that he's giving
her this book, I'm jealous.

811
00:50:43.360 --> 00:50:45.480
Well, you should have put on
a little rouge, maybe put a little

812
00:50:45.480 --> 00:50:50.119
effort, maybe wear sun dress every
now and then maybe you'd get maybe some

813
00:50:50.199 --> 00:50:52.519
guy take care of you. Regardless, I really really wanted that edition and

814
00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:55.360
I found it one time at a
half priced books that they were asking double

815
00:50:55.719 --> 00:50:59.000
for it, which was probably what
it was worth that well, but if

816
00:50:59.000 --> 00:51:00.199
it was half priced, posed the
books and they were asking double, and

817
00:51:00.199 --> 00:51:04.760
that's pretty good deal. It's a
pretty good deal, right. So he

818
00:51:04.800 --> 00:51:07.559
gives her a copy of Stephen Gingzette, telling her that it's a book to

819
00:51:07.639 --> 00:51:09.239
him like Moby Dick, and she
will cry at the end, and that's

820
00:51:09.239 --> 00:51:13.159
when they begin to make out,
and it's a really sweet scene. It

821
00:51:13.239 --> 00:51:15.960
is. It's a very cute scene, yeah, because he basically explains to

822
00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:17.159
her, like you don't understand.
It's like Moby Dick. It's it's not

823
00:51:17.199 --> 00:51:21.519
about a killer climent, it's about
every thing. And by the end you

824
00:51:21.559 --> 00:51:23.920
will cry. And she's like,
you cried, and he's like, yeah,

825
00:51:23.960 --> 00:51:27.639
you will too. So we next
see Lewis and Sam at the restaurant

826
00:51:27.679 --> 00:51:30.199
on their date and she questions about
reading her book, and that's when he

827
00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:32.519
questions if she really feels a cynical
about love and marriage as she states in

828
00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:36.840
the book. She confesses that she
did make up most of what happened in

829
00:51:36.840 --> 00:51:38.880
it, but one thing that she
didn't lie about was catching her mother having

830
00:51:38.920 --> 00:51:42.639
sex with Martin on the beach when
her and her father were still again.

831
00:51:42.880 --> 00:51:45.840
Yeah, she just changed it to
being a little girl when in reality she

832
00:51:45.920 --> 00:51:49.559
was in high school. And that's
a pretty heartbreaking thing because basically, she

833
00:51:49.719 --> 00:51:52.800
reveals that what she remembers so clearly
is her mom being drunk and having her

834
00:51:52.840 --> 00:51:57.079
hands all over him yah, and
him saying what about your husband? And

835
00:51:57.280 --> 00:52:00.760
what about the husband of the husbands? What about your hus been her just

836
00:52:00.800 --> 00:52:02.760
saying I I don't care. Yeah, I don't know. It's pretty brutal.

837
00:52:02.800 --> 00:52:06.719
That's a pretty brutal memory, yeah, to have. So she comments

838
00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:08.199
that he makes her feel less cynical, and we see them sitting in a

839
00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:12.960
car discussing their favorite songs TV shows
and he tells her his favorite song is

840
00:52:12.960 --> 00:52:15.000
a track by Elliott Smith and she
asked him to play it, and we

841
00:52:15.039 --> 00:52:23.199
see the song I cannot approve of
of Elliott Smith. I mean he had

842
00:52:23.239 --> 00:52:30.400
some good songs, yeah, but
that was necessary. So we see him

843
00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:34.760
put the track on and we just
see that Sam just starts getting moved by

844
00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:37.239
it, and she just starts crying. In states that she's really scared right

845
00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:38.480
now. She doesn't want to get
hurt, and Lewis tells her that he

846
00:52:38.519 --> 00:52:40.800
won't hurt her, and they share
a kiss, and we next see them

847
00:52:40.800 --> 00:52:45.119
skating together at an ice rink and
it's really cute. It is very cute.

848
00:52:45.199 --> 00:52:51.719
I wonder if she's been checked.
So what we next see? That's

849
00:52:51.719 --> 00:52:54.920
a fair question. In school.
We next see Tricia helping Bill with his

850
00:52:55.000 --> 00:53:00.800
dating profile because his fricking profile picture
reminds her of a serial killer. He

851
00:53:00.880 --> 00:53:04.079
looks like his caption would be I
just want to take your picture. It's

852
00:53:04.079 --> 00:53:06.960
like, do you remember love Hard? When they were going through his dating

853
00:53:06.960 --> 00:53:10.599
profile and there's that one picture where
he has like rope I wanted to look

854
00:53:10.639 --> 00:53:14.719
like a handyman. Yeah, I
want to. I wanted to show those

855
00:53:14.760 --> 00:53:20.039
rusticks I could do stuff with my
hands. I need to revisit Love Heart,

856
00:53:20.159 --> 00:53:22.559
Love Heart on Netflix. Oh my
god, fantastic movie. Great Christmas

857
00:53:22.559 --> 00:53:24.760
movie, but a great love story. Yeah, love Heart. It's a

858
00:53:24.800 --> 00:53:30.440
combination of love actually and die hard
titles because one has one is their favorite

859
00:53:30.480 --> 00:53:32.239
Christmasy and the other has the other. Yep, uh yeah, I really

860
00:53:32.239 --> 00:53:36.039
liked that. I really did.
So. She helpling in with his dating

861
00:53:36.039 --> 00:53:37.920
profile and his attire. One of
my favorite lines that she has is he

862
00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:39.800
walks out and she goes, I
just I have to ask one question,

863
00:53:39.840 --> 00:53:45.280
are you colorblind? Because no outfit
is every outfit is just is just heinous

864
00:53:45.360 --> 00:53:47.920
to the point where she goes into
his closet and is literally just throwing things

865
00:53:47.960 --> 00:53:51.440
out like nope, nope, nope. And she finally picks up an outfit

866
00:53:51.480 --> 00:53:53.039
for him, and we see Bill
going to a restaurant for a date.

867
00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:57.679
The date goes pretty well that we
don't get any dialogue really that we see

868
00:53:57.679 --> 00:54:00.239
them talk, yeah, and we
see them talking having dinner and then they

869
00:54:00.400 --> 00:54:04.159
hug and that's when he drives home. But on the way home, he

870
00:54:04.239 --> 00:54:07.519
just makes a stop. That's the
saddest part, Dave. Yeah, he's

871
00:54:07.599 --> 00:54:10.639
driving home and he seems happy.
Yeah, he seems like he's juiced up

872
00:54:10.679 --> 00:54:15.760
the way I think anybody would be
after a good first date. But then

873
00:54:15.800 --> 00:54:19.400
he drives to his ex wife's house
again, Yes he does, and he

874
00:54:19.480 --> 00:54:22.960
goes up to her window and he
leaves his putting his wedding ring on the

875
00:54:23.000 --> 00:54:29.320
windowsill. But then he realizes she's
reading his book, one of his books,

876
00:54:29.320 --> 00:54:30.760
and she's alone. She's just said
she's all by herself, just reading

877
00:54:30.760 --> 00:54:35.760
one of his books, and the
fire can't go out, Nope, And

878
00:54:35.880 --> 00:54:38.079
he snatches the ring back and he
takes off. It's one of my favorite

879
00:54:38.079 --> 00:54:42.559
scenes in the whole film. It's
so good. So we then see Rusty

880
00:54:42.599 --> 00:54:45.199
and Kate pulling up to Erica's house. As she meets Kate, we see

881
00:54:45.320 --> 00:54:47.400
Erica, Martin, Kate, and
Rusty all enjoying an evening. They're having

882
00:54:47.400 --> 00:54:51.559
dinner, playing just dance, and
then Kate is later in the bathroom going

883
00:54:51.599 --> 00:54:54.280
through prescription medication and gets caught by
Erica and she says, oh, I'm

884
00:54:54.280 --> 00:54:57.159
just looking for some aspert and she's
like, okay, it's right there,

885
00:54:57.199 --> 00:55:00.480
but we can already see that Eric
is a bit suspicious of that. That's

886
00:55:00.920 --> 00:55:04.320
a weird moment. Yeah yeah.
So we next see Bill with Kate and

887
00:55:04.400 --> 00:55:07.239
Rusty and they are attending an event
that's for Samantha's book promotion and Leslie the

888
00:55:07.239 --> 00:55:12.039
promoter. It takes Bill to meet
other publishers. Rusty and Kate go up

889
00:55:12.039 --> 00:55:15.119
to Sam and Lewis and Stephen King. Discussion starts between the two of them.

890
00:55:15.239 --> 00:55:17.559
So then Kate, Kate, and
Sam excuse themselves and go to the

891
00:55:17.599 --> 00:55:22.719
bar, and that's when we see
that Samantha gets a champagne for Kate,

892
00:55:22.760 --> 00:55:24.800
who once again is sixteen years old. But at first the bartenders like,

893
00:55:24.800 --> 00:55:27.800
you know, well how old does
she let me see your ID? And

894
00:55:27.840 --> 00:55:30.199
He's like, all right, you
know, I'll do this, but I'm

895
00:55:30.760 --> 00:55:34.480
these are your drinks. I'm giving
these to you because you're taking these not

896
00:55:34.679 --> 00:55:39.480
Yeah. He basically does like a
cute little like eh whatever. So Bill

897
00:55:39.559 --> 00:55:44.360
goes up to Leslie goes up to
Bill and invites him to come speak to

898
00:55:44.440 --> 00:55:46.679
the attendees, which are his students
because he's a college professor. Bill goes

899
00:55:46.719 --> 00:55:50.519
up and tells them about a Raymond
Carver line that he liked, which was

900
00:55:50.559 --> 00:55:52.440
listening for a beating heart. When
you hear it, it's the best to

901
00:55:52.480 --> 00:55:57.960
decipher all your abilities, basically stating
that every writer is looking for that heartbeat

902
00:55:58.000 --> 00:56:00.519
to be able to decipher what they
want to write and what they want to

903
00:56:00.639 --> 00:56:04.079
give to the people. It's a
good moment where he actually sounds confident.

904
00:56:04.280 --> 00:56:08.360
Yeah, and yeah, it's a
really beautiful moment. It's short and sweet,

905
00:56:08.440 --> 00:56:10.519
like he doesn't take a lot of
time to talk, like because he

906
00:56:10.800 --> 00:56:14.119
even says, you know, this
is my daughter's event, and you know,

907
00:56:14.199 --> 00:56:16.599
that's when he congratulates Sam again and
they share a hug. Later that

908
00:56:16.679 --> 00:56:21.519
evening, he's sitting on the side
and Erica joins Bill, sitting with a

909
00:56:21.519 --> 00:56:24.760
beer in a smoke and she watches
Sam stating that she's done her with she's

910
00:56:24.880 --> 00:56:28.159
all, she's done with her life, and she doesn't want her to,

911
00:56:28.280 --> 00:56:30.599
like, you know, not be
a part of this because she's just really

912
00:56:30.639 --> 00:56:34.360
troubled by the fact of this relationship
they have now. And then we get

913
00:56:34.360 --> 00:56:37.760
probably one of the most heartbreaking scenes. I mean, you mean in this

914
00:56:38.400 --> 00:56:42.480
until three minutes later, I mean, there's that too. So Bill tells

915
00:56:42.519 --> 00:56:45.960
her that he believes Sam swiped would
he believed to be one of her favorite

916
00:56:45.960 --> 00:56:47.920
books from the library, hoping to
find a piece of her in it before

917
00:56:47.960 --> 00:56:52.280
telling her to go talk to her
daughter. So he sends Erica to go

918
00:56:52.320 --> 00:56:53.960
talk to him. Erica kisses him
on the cheek and goes over to Sam,

919
00:56:54.039 --> 00:56:57.880
and Sam is speechless as her mom
walks up with the book and she's

920
00:56:57.920 --> 00:57:00.760
like, you know, I'd love
for you to sign this, and Sam,

921
00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:02.280
being how she is, says,
oh, okay, and what's your

922
00:57:02.360 --> 00:57:06.920
name? Yeah? What's your name? Yeah? And then and she's like

923
00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:08.960
I don't want this to be a
scene or she's like, okay, no

924
00:57:09.039 --> 00:57:15.320
name, sign it without the prescription
and personalization. So of course this just

925
00:57:15.400 --> 00:57:19.840
breaks are down and she goes running, and that's when Rusty finds her out

926
00:57:19.840 --> 00:57:22.920
back and he confesses that he's lost. He's lost track of Kate. He

927
00:57:22.920 --> 00:57:24.440
doesn't know where Kate is. He's
looking for her. So he goes up

928
00:57:24.440 --> 00:57:27.199
to Sam. He asked her if
she's seen her, and she's like,

929
00:57:27.239 --> 00:57:29.480
no, like we got some champagne. He's like, you gave her champagne?

930
00:57:29.599 --> 00:57:30.880
Yeah, and then he basically like
she's a drug addict. Yeah,

931
00:57:30.920 --> 00:57:35.239
And then they're like what he's like, was a drug add a drug addict,

932
00:57:36.400 --> 00:57:40.320
which also we didn't really realize he
fully accepted that. Yeah, yeah,

933
00:57:40.320 --> 00:57:44.119
well I think he always knew,
but yeah, he didn't quite accept

934
00:57:44.119 --> 00:57:49.199
that. But so they find out
that she went back to then got more

935
00:57:49.280 --> 00:57:52.079
Champagne said it was for the guest
of honor, and then left with some

936
00:57:52.199 --> 00:57:57.079
god named Gus named Gus. Yes, it's always a guy named Gus.

937
00:57:57.199 --> 00:57:59.960
So the whole family leaves and goes
to find Kate and they arrive at us

938
00:58:00.199 --> 00:58:01.880
apartment, which I would love to
know how they got the address. Oh,

939
00:58:02.000 --> 00:58:05.400
well, it's he was a student. Oh that's right. Yeah,

940
00:58:05.400 --> 00:58:07.280
And because remember, somebody goes,
oh, she left with Gus. Yeah,

941
00:58:07.320 --> 00:58:10.360
so I'm guessing that that was a
friend because he was in student housing.

942
00:58:10.480 --> 00:58:15.360
Yeah. Yeah. So they they
find Kate unconscious in the bedroom because

943
00:58:15.400 --> 00:58:19.480
they go into the apartment and freaking
Greg grabs Gus by the nose, slams

944
00:58:19.519 --> 00:58:22.000
him against the wall and throws him
to the ground when he opens the door.

945
00:58:22.079 --> 00:58:23.280
Can hear just grabs him by the
nose really hardly. He is like

946
00:58:23.320 --> 00:58:27.679
ah, and then he throws him
down and his nose is all bleeding,

947
00:58:28.000 --> 00:58:30.719
and he just starts kicking him and
kicking him, not like he's not like

948
00:58:30.840 --> 00:58:32.719
killing him, No, he just
like when he realizes what's going on,

949
00:58:32.840 --> 00:58:36.519
so he gives him a couple of
kicks. He tells him that she's in

950
00:58:36.519 --> 00:58:37.960
the bedroom. They did some coke, but everything's fine. But that's when

951
00:58:38.039 --> 00:58:42.440
Erica comes out carrying an unconscious Kate. So they go back to the blanket.

952
00:58:42.519 --> 00:58:44.719
Yeah, they go to the car
and they rush Kate to the er.

953
00:58:44.880 --> 00:58:47.960
And this is heartbreaking because Rusty's crying. And then when Rusty is upset

954
00:58:49.000 --> 00:58:52.760
and Samanth the season, she starts
crying as well, Well, did you

955
00:58:52.760 --> 00:58:55.079
miss why he cried? Well,
he cries because she's she's unconscious. No,

956
00:58:55.320 --> 00:58:59.320
he cries because he looks under the
blanket and sees she's naked. Oh

957
00:58:59.599 --> 00:59:01.559
she's left with the guy. Yeah, yeah, though, that's why,

958
00:59:01.639 --> 00:59:05.400
I mean, that's why he cries. He pulls the blanket aside just a

959
00:59:05.440 --> 00:59:07.079
little bit, and when he realizes
she's naked, that's when he starts crying

960
00:59:07.079 --> 00:59:10.159
his eyes out because that's when he
realizes, like, oh my god,

961
00:59:10.480 --> 00:59:15.320
this girl I'm in love with had
like a couple drinks and immediately started sleeping

962
00:59:15.400 --> 00:59:21.280
with somebody else and it's really tragically
super heartbreaking. So sometime passes and we

963
00:59:21.280 --> 00:59:23.039
find Bill at his home, hard
at work writing at his desk. Him

964
00:59:23.079 --> 00:59:27.719
and Sam later sit on the beach
as she talks about Lewis and Will.

965
00:59:27.719 --> 00:59:30.760
He asks her who's Lewis. She
sees Tricia or he sees Tricia running up

966
00:59:30.760 --> 00:59:32.000
on the beach, and he tells
Sam to go wake Rusty, and Sam

967
00:59:32.000 --> 00:59:36.920
admits to knowing about them sleeping together
before she goes upstairs to find Rusty asleep

968
00:59:36.920 --> 00:59:38.639
in the closet listening to the Bright
Eyes album the Cake gave him. Now,

969
00:59:39.079 --> 00:59:45.559
this is where the movie really hooked
me forever. She goes into the

970
00:59:45.599 --> 00:59:50.679
bedroom. Her brother's not in bed. Yeah, she goes and opens the

971
00:59:50.719 --> 00:59:54.599
closet door, and he is asleep
in the closet. Yea with the iPod,

972
00:59:55.519 --> 01:00:00.480
I know, right dating it,
but with the volume so loud you're

973
01:00:00.519 --> 01:00:05.000
like hearing you're coming out of the
earbuds, because like that's the only way

974
01:00:05.039 --> 01:00:07.760
he could fall asleep, because he's
so unbelievably heartbroken. He's listening to the

975
01:00:07.800 --> 01:00:15.559
album she gave him on full volume
while he's asleep. That I really believe

976
01:00:15.719 --> 01:00:19.440
you could only come up with from
real heartbreak. Absolutely. I believe that

977
01:00:19.519 --> 01:00:24.760
the writer director did that or at
least felt like doing that, and that

978
01:00:24.880 --> 01:00:29.639
was one of the things that really
made it made the material connect with me.

979
01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:32.760
That's what I love about this movie
is, you know, it is

980
01:00:32.840 --> 01:00:37.400
not your it's not a rom com, it's a drama dy but everything is

981
01:00:37.440 --> 01:00:42.960
realistic in it. Every every problem
that's faced is something that most encounter.

982
01:00:43.079 --> 01:00:45.639
Would you call it a drama?
I feel like there aren't any big laughs.

983
01:00:45.679 --> 01:00:47.440
I would say it's drama. I
would just call it a drama.

984
01:00:47.599 --> 01:00:52.800
It's got a couple laughs, but
there's no big It's not like crazy stupid

985
01:00:52.800 --> 01:00:54.320
love or something. It's not like
John Hughes. Yeah, yeah, no,

986
01:00:54.320 --> 01:00:57.960
No, there's no like huge laughs. There's just a couple of chuckles.

987
01:00:58.000 --> 01:01:00.880
Although you know, John Knty probably
could have been proved this movie.

988
01:01:00.360 --> 01:01:05.280
I agree. He could have been
the neighbor here that Keane was sleeping with.

989
01:01:05.519 --> 01:01:12.039
Yes, yeah, I love Christmas, the light, the music,

990
01:01:12.719 --> 01:01:19.280
my husband decorating the tree. Do
You Even? Movie will be right back,

991
01:01:25.760 --> 01:01:34.920
Welcome back to Do You Even?
Movie? So we see Rusty and

992
01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:37.639
Jason getting high in a car and
they go into a convenience store to buy

993
01:01:37.639 --> 01:01:40.280
snacks as kate X walks in and
starts chasing them throughout the store yep and

994
01:01:40.360 --> 01:01:44.280
catches them in the parking lot and
eats the ship the ever loving hell out

995
01:01:44.280 --> 01:01:47.199
of them. Great great visual storytelling
us his friend is driving him to the

996
01:01:47.199 --> 01:01:52.239
hospital in his face all mashed in, and then we see we see Keaneer's

997
01:01:52.320 --> 01:01:53.519
character and the sister taking care of
him, and that when we get a

998
01:01:53.599 --> 01:01:57.840
voice over from Kate of a letter
that she wrote Rusty basically explaining that you

999
01:01:57.880 --> 01:02:00.039
know, she's grateful to him.
She understands like he wanted to help her,

1000
01:02:00.079 --> 01:02:02.880
but she can only help herself any
hope, and she hopes that he'll

1001
01:02:02.880 --> 01:02:07.000
still be around when she figures that
out. She doesn't really say I hope

1002
01:02:07.000 --> 01:02:10.039
you'll be around so much. I
mean she says, you know, she

1003
01:02:10.079 --> 01:02:14.480
says, I hope I can deserve
someone like you, someone who says good

1004
01:02:14.519 --> 01:02:17.599
to me as you are. No, it came off as like a f

1005
01:02:17.719 --> 01:02:27.199
off as well. Yeah, And
honestly I always felt like that scene was

1006
01:02:27.280 --> 01:02:30.960
kind of was sweet, but it
was almost naive, like as a writer

1007
01:02:31.559 --> 01:02:37.159
like to still angelicies, I'm gonna
say that like it's a word it might

1008
01:02:37.199 --> 01:02:43.079
be or angel eyes or what every
angel eyes, But make her still this

1009
01:02:43.239 --> 01:02:46.079
like wonderful person who just needs to
work on herself. And I'm not saying

1010
01:02:46.079 --> 01:02:50.320
she's all bad. Yeah, I
mean, drug addicts have a massive struggle.

1011
01:02:50.960 --> 01:02:57.320
But she hurt him effortlessly. I
mean for real, like you're not

1012
01:02:59.280 --> 01:03:01.960
she did just get drunk and cheat
on him. Yeah, she got drunk

1013
01:03:02.320 --> 01:03:07.000
at an event she was there with
him for his sister, with his whole

1014
01:03:07.000 --> 01:03:09.920
family there, Yeah, and then
left with the stranger yeah, to go

1015
01:03:10.119 --> 01:03:15.639
drink and do drugs and then completely
you know, gets gets fucked up well

1016
01:03:15.679 --> 01:03:22.320
and have sex with him. Yeah, Like that's not something that like she

1017
01:03:22.679 --> 01:03:28.960
has something in her that hates him. Yeah, detests that he cares about

1018
01:03:28.960 --> 01:03:32.039
her. Yeah, she needs massive
help. It's not just about the drugs

1019
01:03:32.039 --> 01:03:37.599
and stuff like that, because she
could have you know, done this to

1020
01:03:37.679 --> 01:03:42.119
him when she was out by herself
or with friends, not literally at an

1021
01:03:42.159 --> 01:03:45.000
event that important. I mean,
maybe you know, maybe I'm out of

1022
01:03:45.039 --> 01:03:47.599
line. Keep in mind too,
that she does in the letter by saying,

1023
01:03:47.599 --> 01:03:50.360
you know, I finished the book
and you're write I did cry.

1024
01:03:50.480 --> 01:03:53.880
Yeah, she does give him the
closure of that sense that you know,

1025
01:03:53.960 --> 01:03:57.320
she did take his gift to heart
and that she did, you know,

1026
01:03:57.400 --> 01:04:00.760
read it and does think about him
in make sense? I saying, maybe

1027
01:04:00.840 --> 01:04:03.639
I'm too stupid because I've never been
drunk and I've never been high, But

1028
01:04:05.440 --> 01:04:08.599
I wouldn't call that stupid. But
I mean, I get what you're saying,

1029
01:04:09.039 --> 01:04:13.559
but I'm just saying, like,
I feel like no amount of champagne

1030
01:04:14.239 --> 01:04:17.960
would make you just completely forget that
you exist in the world. I mean,

1031
01:04:18.360 --> 01:04:20.920
we don't get much of her past. We just know that she has

1032
01:04:20.960 --> 01:04:25.400
one well, and apparently her parents
are not that absent, no, because

1033
01:04:25.440 --> 01:04:27.400
at the one point when they go
in there for Christmas, he's like,

1034
01:04:27.400 --> 01:04:28.800
you know, what about your parents, and she's like, oh, they

1035
01:04:28.840 --> 01:04:30.000
never come up here anyway. Yeah, But then she mentions that, like

1036
01:04:30.039 --> 01:04:32.639
her parents took her to rehab and
are taken care of her. Yeah,

1037
01:04:32.679 --> 01:04:35.440
So it seems like she just had
an aversion to her parents. I will

1038
01:04:35.480 --> 01:04:39.400
say, I mean, maybe I'm
overthinking this, but I will say that,

1039
01:04:39.480 --> 01:04:42.400
like, I do think it's odd
that we don't get a scene of

1040
01:04:42.440 --> 01:04:45.199
them either going to the hospital or
the parents coming, like even if it

1041
01:04:45.239 --> 01:04:46.519
was just a montage. Oh no, no, no, no, because

1042
01:04:46.559 --> 01:04:51.440
she's gone, Yeah she's not She's
completely gone. Yeah. Uh, that's

1043
01:04:51.480 --> 01:04:58.000
it. Her character is gone because
in the world of our our you know,

1044
01:04:58.079 --> 01:05:02.119
young man character, she's never going
to return. Yeah. That was

1045
01:05:02.280 --> 01:05:08.920
the experience that is going to mar
his life. Yeah, and we all

1046
01:05:08.960 --> 01:05:13.239
have those absolutely. So I thought
it made great sense that she was gone.

1047
01:05:13.280 --> 01:05:15.719
I just pardon me. Thought the
letter was almost too nice. Was

1048
01:05:15.760 --> 01:05:18.320
My only problem was I was like, I mean, like, I wouldn't

1049
01:05:19.360 --> 01:05:23.679
again. Maybe I'm just too cynical. I imagine if if that had happened,

1050
01:05:23.679 --> 01:05:26.000
she would have never spoke to him
again. And I mean there there

1051
01:05:26.039 --> 01:05:31.440
is absolutely that too. Walked on
LinkedIn. Bill confronts Rusty about him coming

1052
01:05:31.519 --> 01:05:34.760
home drunken Stone and it tells him
to get it together, and Rusty makes

1053
01:05:34.800 --> 01:05:38.320
the comment basically stating, you know, is that what you did when you

1054
01:05:38.440 --> 01:05:42.440
when you divorced mom? And that
pisses Kenear's character off. Bill off and

1055
01:05:42.480 --> 01:05:45.679
he's like, Okay, you're grounded. Yeah, And of course Rusty's like,

1056
01:05:45.719 --> 01:05:46.679
you can't ground me, and he's
like, what am I gonna do?

1057
01:05:46.760 --> 01:05:50.440
So then later on the beach,
Bill confront Sam about her treatment of

1058
01:05:51.079 --> 01:05:55.920
Erica, confessing an affair that he
had that she had six months and how

1059
01:05:56.400 --> 01:06:00.840
she had Oh yeah, yeah,
he had an affair when she was six

1060
01:06:00.880 --> 01:06:04.840
months old. Yeah, that's right, and six months he waited and she

1061
01:06:05.079 --> 01:06:09.519
took him back, and that's when
she They basically made a pack that like,

1062
01:06:09.559 --> 01:06:12.079
if that happened again, that they
would wait, but if she ever

1063
01:06:12.119 --> 01:06:14.639
did something as stupid as what he
did to wait for he would wait for

1064
01:06:14.719 --> 01:06:16.760
him the way she waited for her. Yeah. So, Sam, hearing

1065
01:06:16.800 --> 01:06:18.960
this, gets angry that he kept
it from her, and that's when Bill

1066
01:06:19.000 --> 01:06:24.599
finds Rusty hardaway typing. Sam gets
woken up crying by Lewis, who tells

1067
01:06:24.679 --> 01:06:27.440
him, or tells her, that
his mom has passed and he doesn't know

1068
01:06:27.440 --> 01:06:30.480
what to do. Yeah, so, which is one of my favorite parts.

1069
01:06:30.719 --> 01:06:31.559
You know, it's painful, but
it's one of my favorite parts.

1070
01:06:31.840 --> 01:06:35.440
Because she has not spoken to her
boyfriend in what we assume is at least

1071
01:06:35.440 --> 01:06:39.719
a few weeks. Yeah, and
now you know, the phone rings and

1072
01:06:39.760 --> 01:06:42.440
it's because his mother. And we
also got to mention that the reason that

1073
01:06:42.559 --> 01:06:45.159
Erica was at Samantha's event is because
he invited her. Yeah yeah, yeah,

1074
01:06:45.239 --> 01:06:47.800
yeah, he invited the mother,
which makes sense because he has more

1075
01:06:48.079 --> 01:06:53.599
of an understanding of the finality of
you know, having a mother around and

1076
01:06:53.920 --> 01:06:56.679
stuff like that. So Sam in
tears, you know, hears this,

1077
01:06:56.719 --> 01:06:59.280
and she tells him she's coming over, and she runs over see them sitting

1078
01:06:59.320 --> 01:07:01.000
together on the couch crying together.
We go through the funeral, we go

1079
01:07:01.079 --> 01:07:03.840
through the wake as they're looking at
a photo album and we see some really

1080
01:07:03.840 --> 01:07:09.199
cute pictures. We then see Sam
walking up to Erica's door and her mother

1081
01:07:09.239 --> 01:07:12.119
opens the door and they just embrace
each other and start crying. Yeah,

1082
01:07:12.119 --> 01:07:15.480
it's a beautiful moment. I really
loved it. So Rusty is typing away

1083
01:07:15.480 --> 01:07:17.239
at his computer when his phone rings
and a voice ask is Rusty and he

1084
01:07:17.239 --> 01:07:19.159
says, this is Rusty. He
goes, oh, hey, this is

1085
01:07:19.159 --> 01:07:26.039
Stephen King and it actually yeah.
So he tells him that Sam sent him

1086
01:07:26.039 --> 01:07:29.480
his story and he thinks it's damn
good and he sent it to the science

1087
01:07:29.480 --> 01:07:31.519
fiction magazine that he thinks will like
it that used to publish one of his

1088
01:07:31.559 --> 01:07:35.400
stories early on. He also tells
him to tell his dad High and he

1089
01:07:35.440 --> 01:07:39.440
thinks that Suit Monkeys is an absolute
classic, which is one of Kinnear's books.

1090
01:07:40.360 --> 01:07:43.239
Overcome, Rusty tries to express his
love the King, but he says,

1091
01:07:43.239 --> 01:07:44.800
you know, I can't put it
put into words, and he's like,

1092
01:07:44.840 --> 01:07:45.559
you know, I just thank you
for stating that you like my story,

1093
01:07:45.559 --> 01:07:47.800
and King corrects him, he said, I didn't say I liked it.

1094
01:07:47.920 --> 01:07:51.599
I loved it. That's a really
good moment. It is. And

1095
01:07:51.639 --> 01:07:55.239
the fact that his sister sent it
to him that which makes sense there was

1096
01:07:55.280 --> 01:07:58.719
the same publisher. Yeah. So
we next see Rusty and Bill making Thanksgiving

1097
01:07:58.760 --> 01:08:00.239
dinner again. He sets a place
for Erica, but then he takes it

1098
01:08:00.280 --> 01:08:03.159
away. Lewis and Sam come to
the door as the four sit down,

1099
01:08:03.239 --> 01:08:06.079
they're enjoying their dinner. As the
bell rings, Rusty goes to the door

1100
01:08:06.119 --> 01:08:10.199
and opens it. But why does
he go to the door because he thinks

1101
01:08:10.239 --> 01:08:14.239
it's Oh Kate Kate. Ye.
He says that he did invite Kate,

1102
01:08:14.840 --> 01:08:19.159
which I think is is a sad
revealed too, which is that he invited

1103
01:08:19.239 --> 01:08:24.760
Kate to Thanksgiving because now she's probably
out of rehab. Yeah, she's never

1104
01:08:24.800 --> 01:08:27.680
coming, She's never coming, She's
never coming. No. No, So

1105
01:08:27.720 --> 01:08:30.560
he opens the door and instead finds
his mom at the door and she makes

1106
01:08:30.560 --> 01:08:32.600
a joking comment of I pictured your
dad opening the door. Can you close

1107
01:08:32.640 --> 01:08:35.279
it and go get him? Yeah? Which I love that. That's such

1108
01:08:35.279 --> 01:08:38.560
a great and I love it too, because he shuts the door, and

1109
01:08:38.560 --> 01:08:40.880
we're just on Erica's side of the
door the entire time, we don't see

1110
01:08:40.880 --> 01:08:45.600
anything that happens inside. So when
Bill opens the door, he's surprised as

1111
01:08:45.640 --> 01:08:48.359
they exchange highs and Erica tells him
that she got lost and asking if there's

1112
01:08:48.359 --> 01:08:51.279
still a place for her at the
table. Yeah, and she understands if

1113
01:08:51.279 --> 01:08:54.640
there isn't, He says, you
know, we have food, we have

1114
01:08:54.640 --> 01:08:57.239
the company. We'd love to have
you. So he invites Erica in,

1115
01:08:57.319 --> 01:09:00.800
embraces her and apologizes, and Sam
sees her mom says hi. As they

1116
01:09:00.840 --> 01:09:03.680
make a place for her at the
table. Rusty announceds he sold his first

1117
01:09:03.680 --> 01:09:06.159
story, thanking Sam, but she
reminds him that he wrote it. She

1118
01:09:06.239 --> 01:09:10.199
just sent it off to one of
his favorite heroes. No, she says,

1119
01:09:10.239 --> 01:09:13.399
I send it off to the one
person who would actually like Yeah,

1120
01:09:13.840 --> 01:09:19.039
which is which is such a great
line because that sounds insulting, except it's

1121
01:09:19.039 --> 01:09:21.279
like I said it to the one
person to actually like it, your favorite

1122
01:09:21.279 --> 01:09:25.399
author, favorite world. It's like
it's like such a great way to put

1123
01:09:25.439 --> 01:09:29.640
like such a big favorite. So
Erica makes a toast Rusty wishing everyone a

1124
01:09:29.680 --> 01:09:32.359
happy Thanksgiving, and we just close
out with the film of Stuck in Love

1125
01:09:32.439 --> 01:09:35.439
with a nice ending just like that. Yeah, and I love that it

1126
01:09:35.479 --> 01:09:39.880
came full circle. We see them
making Thanksgiving dinner again, just like at

1127
01:09:39.920 --> 01:09:44.800
the beginning of the film, and
I've yeah, I've always loved this movie.

1128
01:09:44.960 --> 01:09:47.279
I like even even though I can
get a little cynical about the young

1129
01:09:47.359 --> 01:09:55.600
love element. And also I do
I go back and forth about Conley coming

1130
01:09:55.680 --> 01:09:58.960
back. I get that because she
was gone three years. Yeah, she

1131
01:09:59.119 --> 01:10:01.840
was. It's a long time actually, probably more around four to be honest,

1132
01:10:01.840 --> 01:10:04.800
because we're starting the year and it's
already in three years maybe, so

1133
01:10:04.840 --> 01:10:11.359
it's probably about but that's a long
time. And the idea that like if

1134
01:10:11.399 --> 01:10:13.800
you just kind of well, but
he doesn't just kind of wait around.

1135
01:10:13.880 --> 01:10:16.319
He does kind of date. Yeah, but at the end of the day

1136
01:10:16.359 --> 01:10:19.319
he just carries the torch. I
don't know. It's like part of me

1137
01:10:19.399 --> 01:10:23.840
doesn't like the message that sends.
I get that, but at the same

1138
01:10:23.880 --> 01:10:27.439
time, I also love though the
idea that like that that a kind of

1139
01:10:27.560 --> 01:10:31.479
true foundational love could work out.
So I get mixed about it, but

1140
01:10:31.520 --> 01:10:35.800
overall, it makes me happy.
The only two parts I cry. I

1141
01:10:35.800 --> 01:10:40.359
cry when the mother dies and I
cry when their mom shows up. So

1142
01:10:40.760 --> 01:10:43.680
I feel that though it's it's a
really really good movie, it just has

1143
01:10:43.720 --> 01:10:45.399
a lot of, like I said, just realistic takes on love that I

1144
01:10:45.399 --> 01:10:48.920
think many can relate to. And
it does things with the stories that you

1145
01:10:48.960 --> 01:10:53.560
don't expect that make it even more
interesting in that fact, because I mean

1146
01:10:53.600 --> 01:10:57.239
the whole thing going down at the
at the promotion for the book event,

1147
01:10:57.319 --> 01:11:00.000
I mean that is such a big
scene that you really just don't expect.

1148
01:11:00.199 --> 01:11:01.880
Yeah, for sure, No,
absolutely, it really, And I love

1149
01:11:01.920 --> 01:11:05.199
the way it just puts the family
into action and you know they've they've been

1150
01:11:05.199 --> 01:11:08.279
at each other all throughout the movie, and that at this one point they

1151
01:11:08.319 --> 01:11:11.800
all come together. I mean,
Keneer goes in and grabs that guy,

1152
01:11:12.039 --> 01:11:15.560
grab it by the nose. This
has gotta happen, the way it's well,

1153
01:11:15.600 --> 01:11:17.039
And then when he's walking out,
he tells him you're expect expect,

1154
01:11:17.079 --> 01:11:20.000
You're lucky. That's all. Yeah, that's all. Yeah, No,

1155
01:11:20.119 --> 01:11:24.600
I mean, I just I love
the way that the family just assembles at

1156
01:11:24.600 --> 01:11:26.840
that point, and then the way
that they all come back at the end.

1157
01:11:27.039 --> 01:11:29.560
You know, it may be kind
of cheesy in that sense, I

1158
01:11:29.600 --> 01:11:31.199
will say, but it just something. It's cheesy at all. The family

1159
01:11:31.239 --> 01:11:34.479
came together the way families do.
They come together when there's an emergency,

1160
01:11:34.479 --> 01:11:38.439
they come together when there's something serious
going on. So the fact that they

1161
01:11:38.479 --> 01:11:42.720
all loaded into the suv and when
Keneer and uh Conley go up to the

1162
01:11:42.760 --> 01:11:46.039
apartment, they make the daughter hold
the sun back, Yeah, because they're

1163
01:11:46.039 --> 01:11:48.680
afraid that, you know, they
don't want him to be a part of

1164
01:11:48.680 --> 01:11:53.680
this because he might lose his cool
or whatever. It's very I love it.

1165
01:11:53.720 --> 01:11:56.479
I love the way it's handled very
much. So what rating are you

1166
01:11:56.520 --> 01:12:00.560
gonna give it? Oh? Well, that's tricky. Do we may be

1167
01:12:00.600 --> 01:12:02.840
on the same page on this.
No we're not. No, No,

1168
01:12:02.920 --> 01:12:09.039
because you're stupid, Okay, go
on, go on. I can't lie.

1169
01:12:09.199 --> 01:12:15.479
I think this movie is a true
classic. I think that it's I

1170
01:12:15.520 --> 01:12:20.079
think that it's themes about love and
loss. Everything it does is so strong.

1171
01:12:20.239 --> 01:12:24.840
Yeah that I would say you have
to own it. You think it's

1172
01:12:24.840 --> 01:12:26.840
a by it. I think it's
a by it. I I think that

1173
01:12:27.920 --> 01:12:30.039
if you don't, if you're not
moved by that film, like I don't

1174
01:12:30.079 --> 01:12:33.000
know what's wrong with you? Yeah, I put it as a rented with

1175
01:12:33.079 --> 01:12:36.800
a Bayot caveat on it because I
think it's a very good movie. It's

1176
01:12:36.840 --> 01:12:41.439
not exactly a fun watch, but
it's a movie that it's kind of a

1177
01:12:41.439 --> 01:12:45.680
fun watch. It's got some it's
got some heavy moments that that I mean

1178
01:12:45.760 --> 01:12:48.279
are are not fun. Oh no, without a doubt. But I mean,

1179
01:12:48.319 --> 01:12:54.359
but like the cast is attractive and
captivating. Performances are amazing. Yeah,

1180
01:12:54.399 --> 01:12:57.119
the performances are solid as hell.
It's a movie. I think everybody

1181
01:12:57.119 --> 01:12:59.159
should watch it. I mean,
if it if it is one that really

1182
01:12:59.159 --> 01:13:00.279
does movie, which I hope it
does, it's an absolute by it.

1183
01:13:00.359 --> 01:13:02.399
But yeah, I mean, if
it's just a rennet for one of those,

1184
01:13:02.399 --> 01:13:05.439
it's just that that's understandable too.
But I think it's one that you

1185
01:13:05.439 --> 01:13:11.399
should absolutely seek out because this movie
is very underrated, I think. I

1186
01:13:11.479 --> 01:13:14.399
mean, I don't hear a lot
of people talk about it, so I

1187
01:13:14.760 --> 01:13:17.920
really don't know how known y Stuck
in Love is, but I adore it.

1188
01:13:18.000 --> 01:13:20.600
Yeah, I mean I usually introduce
people to the movie. They but

1189
01:13:20.880 --> 01:13:24.720
not of people don't know about it. So that's that's where I rate that

1190
01:13:24.800 --> 01:13:29.680
from do you recommend it on LinkedIn. Shut up, you made the jokes

1191
01:13:29.680 --> 01:13:31.960
and now it's forever. It's forever. That'll be the next T shirt before

1192
01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:34.880
we get out of here. I
don't have much trivia for this. I

1193
01:13:34.920 --> 01:13:39.319
do have one that I thought was
interesting where the original title was writers.

1194
01:13:40.600 --> 01:13:43.159
I mean, they're all writers.
They're all writers, so that's not a

1195
01:13:43.239 --> 01:13:45.680
terrible title. But I like stuck
in the Stuck in Love is way better.

1196
01:13:45.840 --> 01:13:48.760
Shot in Wilmington, North Carolina,
primarily Writesville Beach area. There is

1197
01:13:48.800 --> 01:13:51.640
no box office for this because while
it was released theater, it was very

1198
01:13:51.720 --> 01:13:55.239
limited release. And also I can't
find the budget on it. Yeah,

1199
01:13:55.279 --> 01:13:58.640
but it did gross the thirty two
thousand when it did get It's a limited

1200
01:13:58.840 --> 01:14:00.720
so you did find box offic you
just did not budget. Yeah, budget,

1201
01:14:00.680 --> 01:14:02.720
sorry, okay, yeah, just
mix it up. No, I

1202
01:14:02.760 --> 01:14:05.920
had a very limited theatrical run.
Yeah, I caught it on Netflix.

1203
01:14:05.960 --> 01:14:09.840
I think a lot of people caught
it on Netflix. Yeah, And we

1204
01:14:09.880 --> 01:14:12.640
always like to end the show with
the recommendation. I am going to give

1205
01:14:12.680 --> 01:14:16.880
one from twenty fourteen to night Stand. I Love two nights. Two Nights

1206
01:14:16.880 --> 01:14:20.119
Stand is the story of a snowstorm
that forces two people who made an online

1207
01:14:20.119 --> 01:14:24.960
connection to unwillingly extend their one night
stand as the blizzard goes through the night.

1208
01:14:25.000 --> 01:14:28.159
It's a super cute little love story. I adore Two Nights Stand.

1209
01:14:28.239 --> 01:14:30.640
No, that's a really good and
it's a fun rom com too. It's

1210
01:14:30.640 --> 01:14:32.920
not as heavy as Stuck in Love. Yeah, yeah, that's fair.

1211
01:14:33.000 --> 01:14:36.239
So Two nights Stan you can find
available as you can Stuck in Love.

1212
01:14:36.279 --> 01:14:40.920
It's readily streaming many places right now. So if you are looking for something

1213
01:14:40.960 --> 01:14:43.960
a little different for your Valentine's Day
or February fair, then make sure you

1214
01:14:44.039 --> 01:14:46.279
check out Stuck in Love to go
twenty twelve. All right, if I

1215
01:14:47.359 --> 01:14:54.159
my recommendation, you know what I'm
not going for? Like a lovey movie.

1216
01:14:54.239 --> 01:15:00.800
Okay, I'm going even harder funny
games. No U, I'm going

1217
01:15:00.880 --> 01:15:05.199
with the Beaver. I can see
that. A movie about love and family

1218
01:15:05.359 --> 01:15:10.319
and learning to accept your place and
your family, and learning to accept where

1219
01:15:10.319 --> 01:15:15.359
you are in life and learning how
to work with through problems. Hello,

1220
01:15:15.439 --> 01:15:18.359
my name is Doris. Is a
good one too. Well. If I

1221
01:15:18.359 --> 01:15:20.760
had to pick a rom it would
be The Baxter. It'd be The Baxter.

1222
01:15:20.840 --> 01:15:24.760
I always look in the Baxter to
everybody. The Baxter is a great

1223
01:15:24.800 --> 01:15:30.560
film about being the guy that gets
dumped in the rom com. That's what

1224
01:15:30.680 --> 01:15:34.199
a Baxter is. It's a guy
who the girl is with, but the

1225
01:15:34.239 --> 01:15:38.279
audience is waiting for her to choose
the right guy, the guy that she

1226
01:15:38.319 --> 01:15:41.560
should always have been with. And
it's it's literally what it's about. And

1227
01:15:41.760 --> 01:15:44.760
one of my favorite things is that, like in high school, his girlfriend

1228
01:15:44.840 --> 01:15:46.720
ended up going to the dance with
the other guy. In college, his

1229
01:15:46.760 --> 01:15:50.159
girlfriend ended up going back to the
other guy. So now he's an adult,

1230
01:15:50.479 --> 01:15:54.359
he meets this girl and then her
old high school sweetheart shows up from

1231
01:15:54.399 --> 01:15:58.479
town and he's like, because he
knows that he's that's the best phrase.

1232
01:15:58.560 --> 01:16:00.920
He knows he's the Baxter. So
anyway, that would be my other season.

1233
01:16:00.960 --> 01:16:03.520
But I think the Beaver is a
great beaver. You say in the

1234
01:16:03.560 --> 01:16:06.399
Bax You're also made me think of
The Big Sick. That's also really good.

1235
01:16:06.640 --> 01:16:11.920
Yeah, yeah, yeah, based
on true story too, sure.

1236
01:16:12.039 --> 01:16:15.840
Yeah, but that is Stuck in
Love. Yeah, and and a film

1237
01:16:15.840 --> 01:16:19.159
that I cannot recommend highly enough.
Yes, totally worth your time, especially

1238
01:16:19.359 --> 01:16:24.840
around Valentine's Day if you want to
feel as awful as David does for telling

1239
01:16:25.079 --> 01:16:28.000
all the personal information he's given away
today. It's gonna be a T shirt.

1240
01:16:28.000 --> 01:16:30.760
Blocked on LinkedIn. Yep, so
before we get out of here,

1241
01:16:31.760 --> 01:16:36.199
sorry, Dave, that's on.
That one's on you. Uh wow,

1242
01:16:38.720 --> 01:16:41.920
blocked on LinkedIn. Can we close
the show? No? I need a

1243
01:16:42.000 --> 01:16:45.039
drink? Oh gosh, well,
good luck. You probably brought booze you.

1244
01:16:45.720 --> 01:16:49.560
But I'm happy about this Chinese we
may or may not be getting well.

1245
01:16:49.560 --> 01:16:54.920
First of all, you can't buy
people, so I don't know what

1246
01:16:54.960 --> 01:16:57.960
that means. Let's keep going.

1265
01:18:04.279 --> 01:18:06.880
having a lot of fun over in
those places? I think so. I

1266
01:18:08.000 --> 01:18:11.720
seem to have caught somebody not updating
X. Not a big X fan,

1267
01:18:11.760 --> 01:18:14.039
but I'm working on it. I
did a post while I was here,

1268
01:18:14.079 --> 01:18:15.119
by the way, so we do
have a new post on X and you

1269
01:18:15.159 --> 01:18:19.960
can check me good this fucking guy. But you know, as we get

1270
01:18:19.960 --> 01:18:21.640
out of here, I will say, you know, this show, you

1271
01:18:21.640 --> 01:18:26.000
know, we tore ourselves up internally. Next week we're actually gonna have people

1272
01:18:26.039 --> 01:18:29.399
get torn up. Yeah, this
time it'll be the people in the film

1273
01:18:29.439 --> 01:18:34.039
getting torn up internally, as we'll
be talking about my bloody Valentine from nineteen

1274
01:18:34.079 --> 01:18:38.439
eighty one. Yeah, we just
we're gonna talk about the composite cut.

1275
01:18:38.680 --> 01:18:40.840
Yeah, we'll talk. We're gonna
talk, so we have it. We're

1276
01:18:40.840 --> 01:18:43.319
gonna have a really big treat with
that episode because not only will we talking

1277
01:18:43.319 --> 01:18:46.279
about the unrated cuts with the extra
footage they found about ten years now.

1278
01:18:46.479 --> 01:18:53.039
Yeah, but also I just recently
finished the novelization, which was a treat

1279
01:18:53.119 --> 01:18:56.239
because there's a lot of stuff left
in that book that they didn't get the

1280
01:18:56.239 --> 01:19:00.119
film, because the forwards written by
the director and they even state the like,

1281
01:19:00.199 --> 01:19:01.680
this book is the closest that we
could come to the complete my blieve

1282
01:19:01.720 --> 01:19:05.199
outside wow. So I'm going to
be sharing some of those fun facts too.

1283
01:19:05.319 --> 01:19:11.119
So we'll be heading to Canada next
week for Valentine's Day. We will

1284
01:19:11.279 --> 01:19:15.000
so, and I assume you'll be
bringing me chocolates. I might be a

1285
01:19:15.079 --> 01:19:18.600
heart, but we'll see. Yeah. So, thank you guys so much

1286
01:19:18.600 --> 01:19:23.039
for tuning into Do You Even?
Movie. We'll be back next Tuesday with

1287
01:19:23.119 --> 01:19:27.560
another movie to talk about. So
until then, thank you guys so much,

1288
01:19:27.680 --> 01:19:31.159
and we'll be back real soon.
We'll see you yeah sure, And Dave
