Pop Culture Minisode (S3 E16, "The Big One")

this is the big one. Uh, Season three, episode six, What this is the big one? And then I was like what and then the actual name of the Yeah, anyway, Tara take it away. All right, Let's start with Loraly and Rory anxiously awaiting Kirk to hand them their mail. Um, Rory says, I guess I've got time to time my shoes. Laurel I says, yeah, we'll call yourself a new pair of Daniel day Lewis. So Daniel day Lewis my foot. Well, let me get into this fun fact. Daniel dy Lewis

is a three time Oscar winning actor. But Lorala is referring to the time when Daniel Day quit acting in the mid nineties and moved to Venice, Italy and became a shoemaker after he finished filming The Boxer and his body lasted five years. I thought it was from the movie My Life was that not Daniel Day Lewis. Yes, But what's that got to do with shoes? I don't know.

I just thought, my love, But I don't know because no, no, I just said, because he moved to Italy to become a shoemaker after making that movie that was But what movie did he make that made him want to move to Italy to be a combler? So he was just sick of the business. Yeah, it was like he was done. But what the hell is my left foot about? I have no idea. No one expects much from Christie Brown, and it's a true story with cerebral palsy, born into a working, last class family. Oh excuse me. I had

nothing to do with shoes. Yeah, it had to do with him using his left I I apologize. Actually seemed like I was a bit offensive with my but it was just because I didn't know anything. Because I talk, I talk like I know something. You are the most. First of all, you're extremely funny when you're when you're consciously trying to be funny, and you're even funnier when you're unintentionally funny. But no, my favorite part is that I explained it. She's like, wait, but the left foot.

I'm sorry. I sometimes Amy. I love how inappropriate we can be. I actually do that. I really was certain I was right, and I could have been more wrong. You're not hurting anybody. You didn't hurt anybody. Okay, it was just a funny thing. You know. You blurted out my left foot. I love it. I did not know he was a left and then and then, by the way, he eventually made his way back to acting and left the shoemaking industry when he was offered the starring role

alongside Leonard DiCaprio in Gangs of New York. Oh really, he So he did that for five years before Gangs of New York. Correct, So he took a break that lasted five years. Yeah, wow, is right? You know he just you know I felt that way too. You just want to go reconnect with yourself and and stop, you know, stop being in the business and stopped with all the insanity. That comes with it and stop. I don't know what it is. It's it's just you just want to you

want your life back. You want what's the one where they're like, you try to get out but they suck you back line and Godfather. Alright, So the next one is Laura Lee and Roya at Luke's giving lukea hard time about his new menus, and Laura la says, why did you get new menus? Luke says it was time. Laura Lai says, but I had made little doodles and my name hidden in them on each one of them,

just like Hirschfeld. So. Albert Hirschfeld is an American characterists, best known for his black and white portraits of celebrities and Broadway stars. Caricaturists, charactis, character caricature, charricter urre not characterist, caricature can't say that, I'm so no say she can say caricaturist. There you go. I said it really quickly, guys.

But anyway, in addition to Broadway and film, he drew politicians, TVs, ares in celebrities, and in nineteen seventy seven he drew the cover of Aerosmiths Draw the Line album Yeah He drew every famous person there was for the New Yorker, right, didn't he New York Times, New Yorker. He was everyone? He was everyone. So this is the part of pop culture where we're really getting into musicals because of Brad Good.

Here we go. So the teacher welcomes Brad back to school and she says, we welcome back Brad, who's fresh from Broadway after successful year's run of Into the Woods. Brad says, thank you, it's good to be back. Paris says, sit down, Mary Martin Water, Peter Pan, Yes, uh, she was Peter Pan. Also Mary von Trapp from Sound of Music Broadway. Yes, and so Into the Woods musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim in a book by

James Lapine. The musical intertwined the plots of several brothers Grimm fairy tales, exploring the consequences of the character's wishes and quests, which was then made into a movie. And yeah, yeah, I don't think it was the best. It was with Meryl Street, Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine, Emily Blunt, and James Gordon. I knew James Cordon wasn't so funny. How James Cordon's

and so many random musicals. Totally, should we take a moment to just honor Chris Pine, who might be in the top position for me on the Chris Is right now. Really it's Pratt and Pine for me. For me has been just kind of cracking me up with all that press he's doing for that Dungeons and Dragon. See, I'm more of a Hem's worth right now with Thour Why do you place Evans? Actually, you know what, Evans is pretty up there, but because you got to happen and

then I got my muscles? Are you Hemsworth Ben Evans? No, I'm Evan, But currently I just saw Thor, so I think it's just like Freshsworth. Hem's worth is Thor Evans as Captain Mary. I just saw Jurassic so Pratt. I think I'm Pratt time. I didn't like my new Jurassic Okay, first of all, it got bad reviews, and I loved it. I loved it so much. I literally loved it. I loved everything about it, and I was I'm sad inside

that there's not another one. Yeah. Oh, I rewatched all the first five before I saw number six, and then I already bought number six so I can watch it again on streaming. I loved it. Don't be discouraged by those reviews or by what Tara just said. Go watch I mean action scenes where some of the best action with dinosaurs I've ever seen. You want to know. My bones pick with that is I just felt like he didn't have a relationship with um oh, what's her names hower? Yeah.

I just felt like there was no chemistry. That was my issue with it. Yeah, I thought they were completely in love. My bone to pick with it is that Christopher Palaha, who I love, had like one line. I was like, this guy is so hot. Why does he have one line? Do you know who he is? He's the handsome man from Wonder Woman. But he was on that awesome stew show. Google it, everybody, everybody. I'm always

on the set, oh man, keep going alright. But it was Sherry Appleby and Christopher Palaha and they had a kid they didn't know about. Come on, so good that guy is so hot? Okay, okay, so we're still talking about Broadway. So Umory says, well, I mean pop culture wise, not only go off golf the rails. Um so Rory says, Hey, Brad, good to have you back, how is Broadway? Bratt says it was great, but Nathan Lane is a very bitter man.

Nathan Lane is an actor who started on Broadway in one His most famous role was The Producers on Broadway and he's currently on Only Murders in the Building and The Gilded Age. I love him, but you know what I just thought of, like, I wonder if these celebrities that get referenced ever had like a bone depict to use our own things, because like Nathan Lane isn't bitter, but it's just for the joke. But it's like, I wonder if any of them ever like watched like wait

what or is it like flattering that the Yeah? I agree, alright. So the next one, um, we're still this is now after class, Louise says, did you get to keep your makeup? Madeline says, what about your costumes? Because that seems great. Louise says, oh, unless you're doing lemez, Madeline says, or cats oh so. Lame As is a musical and film adaptation of Victor Hugo's eighteen sixty two novel of the same name. Victor Hugo has been used in pop culture

many times as we know. Um and Laymans is the longest running musical in London's West End, and the film came out in starring Hugh Jackman. Cat No, but what about Cats? Well, then Cats is another I was getting there. The Cats is another Broadway musical um based on the poetry collection of Old Possums Book of Practical Cats by T. S. Eliott. The London production ran for twenty one years, while the New York Broadway production ran for eighteen. And that's the

one that James Cordon also played. And I had to hate watch it because everybody talked about how it is the worst movie ever. So then I was like, well, now I need to know if it's so bad, which I literally could watch like twenty minutes, just so I didn't even try. I didn't even try. I don't even know it was so bad as it was sort of a dumb. Yeah. I love watching things that are bad. I do too, just because I sometimes like that, what okay, really fast, everybody go around and say they're two like

supposed worst movies that are amazing. I'll go first to Megalodon the Meg. That's what it was called, The Meg. It's about a megalodon shark. Like bad movies that were amazing. Yeah, that like everyone's like, that's so bad, but I love it. I don't know why. After Tomorrow also just was that the Joan hauled Dennis Quay The world is ending and Dennis holds up going through snow to get isn't John Cusack and that too. That's the other one which they're

so good, They're so bad that No. No, there's one about Aliens coming to Earth John Hamm and Jennifer Connolly. What is that called? John Cleese is even in it? Oh my god, Yeah, the Aliens come to Earth and they it's like this big, huge movie, like I think it's, oh my god, aliens are coming to work with John I mean coming to day that Earth stood still? Yes, that one, Yes, I think that was Kiana reads the Alien And there was some like really good parts about it,

you know that we're kind of cool. Never really bad stuff. There was some really like absurd is amazing with John Cusack, Body Harrelson. It's so bad, it's amazing. Any other star worst movie, that's awesome. I don't know, Like I'm I'm so easy, like I'll watch anything. But usually like all these rom coms, like I'm obsessed with them just because I love a good rom com and they usually get hate it on. So I don't have a specific one,

not on the top of my mind. Oh I think I think of a watchable horrible film is the best. Matthew McConaughey and Al Pacino in that gambling thing. Oh she didn't see that? You didn't see that? Oh God? Oh wait, I have one. I have one. Matthew McConaughey plays an ex star quarterback, college quarterback who got injured, who got injured, and now he's like, he's he's a you know. He works at a gambling business where he's picking winners. It's called two for the Money, Two for

the money, for the money. And then he gets recruited by Al Pacino and they're like, yeah, I see you going a pretty good record. I like to fly you up here in New York and wine and dine, and so he does and he becomes a big star. And then it was just so bad. It was it was so bad that it was good. That's how I feel about so many movies. Are my favorite movies are so bad they're also and Jeremy Pivens in it. It's it's it's like hysterically bad. It's so funny. Sorry him, Yeah,

I remember cause I just watching up LONGOUM. Have you seen Mike and Daveny Wedding Dates with Zeche Kendrick And I love that movie. I just think it's dumb, but it was good. But I'll continue this as I think of more bad movies that I love. I'm start texting you, guys, just start texting, text million times. Alright, So next one. Um. Paris continues to be mean to Brad upon his return to Chiltern. Brad says, Paris, this time on stage has been a very growing experience for me. I'm no longer

intimidated by you or people like you. Paris says, I'm thrilled to hear it. Cheeta Rivera, I'm only and then Paris says, I'm only saying it won't be a totally satisfying victory, just beating Jerome Robbins and the rest of the losers here, I'd really like to take you down. Also, so, Cheeter Rivera is a legendary actress, singer, and dance are best known for original roles in Broadway musicals, including Anita in the West Side, Story and vill mcklly in Chicago.

Um when she danced in West Side Story, she would get a bump on her forehead, but initially didn't understand how it appeared. When she did a leap. She knew her foot could reach the back of her head, but she had such extreme flexibility she would actually kick her forehead and get a bump on it. Mm hmm wow. On fact and Jerome Robbins the legendary choreographer and won an Oscar alongside Robert Wise for the nineteen sixty one film adaptation of West Side Story and Natalie Wood with

Natalie Wood and Rita Moreno. And he later received an Honorary Oscar m And he was also fired from West Side Story after forty five days of shooting because they were twenty four days behind schedule. To this to this day, he is the only winner of an Academy Award as Best Director for a job which he was fired for. Oh wow, all right, and moving on, And this is Paris is an annoying people in the hallways. Rory says, It's amazing how you It's amazing how you managed to

hide these bolts on the side of your neck. What is that just a really good cover up. Yep, and she is referencing the monster Frankenstein who had bolts on the side of his neck. That was correct. Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein before she turned twenty one in the early eight hundreds and is one of the earliest works of sci fi. Alright, So moving on, um, Suki's getting complaints about her food and quoting a review, Suki says, they sent it back my food afford, my food, my four star.

Rachel Ruth Richelle is a chef, food writer, producer, and the last editor in chief of Gourmet magazine from two thousand nine, and she has written seven books. She's also known for ability to make or break a restaurant with her fierce um attention to detail. Great good for her all right. This is after the Paris after having her meltdown on stage when she finds out she can't get into Harvard, she says, how could I have not gotten

into Harvard? Five generations of Gallies have gotten into Harvard. Even if I was the Billy Carter of the family. The name is still supposed to carry some weight. So Billy Carter is the youngest sibling of Jimmy Carter. He also sold his name. Yeah, he also sold his name to a brewing company that marketed the short lived Billy beer. H Um. He was also involved in a scandal in nine when he um was what was that? Yeah, yeah, yep, and he registered and he's presidents such a bad one,

so weird, but he was. She got to jail for it. But like that, but he was a beloved character. He was actually a breath of fresh air. Yeah. I just loved Jimmy. And wait, are we talking about the Carters? Yeah, okay, I just love that Jimmy and Mrs Carter have been married for like forever, like forever and ever and ever, like so long. Remember that picture. I think there was a picture of like Barack and Michelle and Jimmy and

Mrs Carter. Nobody, it's fine, just google it. It was so sweet and they look so tiny, and for some reason, Barack and Michelle looks so tall. Well yeah, I mean the Carters are approaching God, they're in their midnight there. They're like way like nine six I think is literally and he like beat cancer and it's just like, oh my gosh, how old is he? Jimmy Carter are you looking it up? Nineties seven? Wow? And Norman Lear one hundred. Way to go, dude, mhm, sidebar keep going. Oh no,

I was about to tell you that was it. I think I like we blew through the last three and that was the Yeah, there was a lot of musicals in there, a lot of Broadway shows that was pop culture. That was that was great. That was great that we had a lot of sidebars. We should just let the people go. Yeah, let them get back to their I like the sidebars, which one of the sidebars trying to literally go turn on tonight, literally love it. It's true. For the Money went to for the Money comes on

day after Tomorrow, yesterday. Yeah, Dennis Quaid, he's so, he's

so Dennis Quady in it and I love it. Day after Tomorrow it's the one Jake Jillen Hall goes to like New York for some sort of like debate and then the world something happens to the like environment and the whole world is like freezing over in the snowstorm, and Dennis Quaid have to like get his galoshes on, and like seven people died and like it was so emotional and Emmy Rossum and Jake Joan helped fall in love and it's quite like a leading man with galoshes.

That's a secret to my twelve also great, Oh my goodness. Um, Well, okay, so we're seeing we're gonna wrap up pop culture. See your kids. Hope you enjoyed it. We did, see that's the thing we never failed to have fun about. Halfway through we forget that anyone's listening. Somehow. That also happens, like like do you have that moment where I feel like we're just on a phone each other, Like it's just like a zoom meeting gone off, like off topic for dish. No. I love it. I love pop cultures.

Sometimes I wonder if culture is more fun than the when we talk about the episode. But it's also because, like I don't say, sometimes I don't pay attention watching it, Like through I'm just like yeah, okay, and then like I get the notes where I go back and I'm like, oh that was yeah, you realize like that really made sense. Yeah, that's that's not your fault. If you can't pay attention to that's not your fast. Like the Frankenstein one, I

didn't catch that the first time. That the first time, I just I just was like, okay, and then I went back, you didn't know what that meant. No, I knew Frankenstein, but I think it just like went over my head. Like I was just like Scott. You guys do talk super fast. So sometimes you're like, just you know, if you think too hard about Frankenstein, you missed the

next thing. That's why these episodes you gotta watch more hard about friends, because sometimes you're like, wait, wait, wait, wait a minute, No I was, I was thinking about Frankenstein. I didn't get any of them. I didn't get the launches. No, wait a minute. No. In her defense, I thought Richard was just grimacing and didn't realize he was asleep. So you know, I mean, what did I miss? Get everyone on on Instagram? Or I did in the last episode, I told everybody to tell us. I think nobody thinks

he wasn't asleep. Did I say that right? He was asleep. It was a sleep.
