Pop Culture Minisode (S4 E22 "Raincoats and Recipes”)

staff ready. I just happened to have crackstaff notes right in front of me. It's wild go first, all right, here we go. Here's a crack staff cold open right. The opening scene, Laureli trying to barricade Rory's door with a chair wouldn't work because the door opens. Yeah it does. It opens in correct, it opens in I'll tell you, crackstaff man, they are firing on all cylinders. Yeah, okay.

At the two minute and seven second point of the episode, notice Laurelize black shirt has a dragonfly, and I think we do point that out. Yeah. Um. At the four fifty five point, the employee that walks up behind Laureli instantaneously appears behind Michelle a split second later. Um, okay. At dinner, at the twenty six minute ten second point,

Suki asked Taylor how Derek the Waiter is doing. Taylor sings praises, but back at seventeen forty eight, he can be seen licking his fingers to clean the silverware, and also licking a towel and wiping the silver We've got to see that, Jackie. Oh yes, can Jackie, can you get us to seventeen forty eight in the episode because that is actually insane. That is insanity. Um, that is so we must see Derek licking. Okay, here we go. Where now? Where's who's Derek behind him? Oh my god,

he's licking. He just looked the napkin. He licked the napkin to to clean the silver one more time, one more time, one more time. I love the walkie talkies. By the way, Oh my god, that's like a full lick. That's a double lick. While who's sitting there? We should find out who was sitting there? Probably a couple of randos. What do you think? Huh, yeah, it's a couple that

Amy pointed out. All right. Another fun fact about Derek the Silverware Spider is that the actor that portrayed him, Graham Norris, went on to be a writer and producer of eighty seven episodes of New Amsterdam. That is some impressive crackstaff research and information. Kudos to the crackstaff. Amy, you have something to add, crackstaff. So when the guests arrive, you go to that video the guests arrive, it says Freddie, follow your door to number one. Who's Freddie? By the way,

I thought that was another rando? What's going on on the wall? They hang waters on the wall? Huh, thank you very long. There's literally some contraption hanging on the wall. Is that water? Is that shampoo? Looks like the wall? Grab a bottle on your way up to your rooms. Very odd. So there you go, ready for pop culture. It's not exactly Crackstaff. It's more like what's going on? Yeah, I don't know if that rises to the level of credit doesn't. I'm going to admit that it doesn't. Thank you.

It is an interesting addition though. Yeah, so maybe we just have weird tidbits right right from the estate. Right, Okay, Scott, you start you start us, start up. Okay. Rory is telling Lane about the awful guy her Grandma set her up with Lane. How is that bad? Rory? James Spader in pretty pink, Pretty and pink? That was such a what's wrong with James Spader? Why was it? He's an ass and pretty in pink. He's his Blaine. I'll never forget Blaine and pretty and pink. Let me tell you

about Blaine. No, but it was. It was a knock against It was a line against James Spader. Correct, because they're basically saying, the guy she went out with was James Spader, pretty in pink. Yeah, which also the guy she went out with was not nearly as bad as James Spader. And all right, James, James Spader and pretty and pink Blaine? Alright? Was he Blaine? Oh wait, pardon me. Andrew McCarthy might have played Blaine, but Andrew McCarthy was great.

Let me let me get the correct character name for James. It wasn't Spader like his dealer or something like that. No, that's you're thinking of less than zero. I'm thinking of less I'm sorry, James Spader, Steph, Steph McKee wasn't wasn't all right? All right? Pretty Blaine? Was? Was Andrew McCarthy who turned out to be cool but all right. Pretty and Pink is a nineteen eighty six American team romantic comedy drama film about love and social clicks in American

high schools in the eighties. A cult classic, it is commonly identified as a brat pack film, borrowing from the brat pack of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Junior, et cetera. Don Reckles. James Spader plays the character Steph McKee, who was a part of the arrogant richie kids and harasses and bullies Andy because he finds Andy attractive and secretly resents having been rejected by her. Do you want

to know one little funny trivia tidbit about Pretty in Pink? Yes? Okay, So I've seen Pretty and Pink many times and I love the scene when Ducky comes into the record store and does the lip syncing. But at the ending they changed the ending of the movie. There was like an original ending, I think maybe where Andy ends up with Ducky, but like test audiences didn't like it, so they bring Andrew McCarthy back to play Blaine, so that Andy ends

up with Blaine. But Andrew McCarthy was already working on another movie at the time, and his hair was different, so they have to give him like kind of like fake hair or a wig to shoot this scene. It is so evident his hair is so bad in the final, like most important scene where they end up together, that when I watch it now, slightly jarring, I experienced something like that. I know what that. Remember your cover of the matter, if you want to see the worst, if

you want to see the worst ever hair wig. It was my biggest It was the biggest piece of pr I ever did. Was the cover of Entertainment Weekly and they put on this dead raccoon on top of my head. And I went to my publicist. I said, this can't be happening. This looks like, this looks stupid. And who did it? The Entertainment Weekly people or the Gilmore Girls people both? Oh? No, Ever, they all agreed it was

it was. You want to make yourself feel less bad, watch the end of Pretty in Pink because it's pretty bad, Okay, I do need to feel less better. Waits as bad as Taylor. It was worse. It was probably worse. It was probably worse. If you want a good laugh, go look at that. Go look at that we talked about it once. You will laugh. Rory is complaining to Laura that she did not wake her up this morning. Um. Rory says, I only have so much time off. I don't want to waste it sleeping. I don't want to

waste it all sleeping till noon. Laura Lai says, there was no waking you up. You were completely out of it. We're talking Farah on Letterman. So this is a late show with David Letterman, and as everyone knows, it's an all night talk show on CBS. Fara Fawcett was an actress who rose to international fame when she got the

starring role in Charlie's Angels. Farah went on the show in nineteen ninety nine, and she seemed very distracted and coherent, and everybody in the studio knew it, but her people believed she was under the influence of something as she stumbled around and seemed extremely unaware and confused. I remember it, and I love Fara faucets so much. I do remember that. Oh my god, far a faucet in the Charlie's Angels

era is the coolest. Yeah, that was was that back in the day when Letterman was just so he was so mean to everybody. Yeah, yeah, that was kind of a stick, right, just just abuse his guests to Howard Stern now and then Share just told him that he was in a hole and everybody applauded and that kind of I don't know if it changed him. But how much do I need to buy this sweatshirt with Fara Faucet on? It? Is? That? Yeah? You should probably I need. I have a couple of Farra Faucet shirts, but I

need a sweatshirt. Yeah, you need to get that. I do. Yeah, I know, you know, get us all one? Can you just get I'd like one too. He really crushed the seventies track suit. Oh yeah, oh yeah. Anyway, all right, who's up, Tara? Tara, you go, I'm shopping for fair fauxing. Yeah, we're busy shopping, all right. Loralai is uh pushing Rory out the diner door. After asking her if Luke seems different,

Rory says, what's your damage? Heather Heathers is a nineteen eighty nine comedy thriller film written by Daniel Waters and directed by Michael Lehman Layman. It's plopper trays fourteenage girls, three of whom are named Heather in a click at Ohio High School. Wasn't Shannon Doherty one of them? Yeah? She was in Heathers. Yeah. Rory refers to lorelais Heather because the school's ruthless queen Bee in the movie is Heather Chandler. Loralai invited, Oh shoot, I skipped one. I

was hoping I was getting the Hayley Mills one. But Lorela is explaining to Rory that Luke asked her to the movies, but she's not sure if he considers it a real date. But maybe he didn't mean it as a date. Maybe he just needed to get out of the house. And since I'm currently one of the women sitting home thinking if only I could find a man like Rigorn, he picked me. See, I don't even like the Lord of the Rings. I'm getting them back. How

can you not like the Lord of the Rings? I fell asleep during that Anne Harry Potter character and a protagonist in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Aragorn was easily the best swordsman in all of Middle Earth at the time. Lorala compares Luke to Aragon because he is one of the most desired Lord of the Rings characters. I mean, that's really cute. I guess I'm up. Amy, you want to do the Haley Mills when goy do?

Thank you so much for letting me do it. Loria invited her parents to come to the opening of the Inn and is going to force them to stay together. I'm going to lock those two in a room and they are either coming out reconciled or in a bodyback. Believe you me, I'm fine either way. Well, look who died and made you Haley Mills. Okay, Well. The original Parent Trap in nineteen sixty one starred Hayley Mills and

Hayley Mills. She appeared as twins Susan and Sharon. She played both parts, which love it and then later this became there was another Parent Trap where Lindsay Lohan played both parts with Dennis Quaid and Oh Liam Neeson's why that died? Oh Natasha Richardson, Yeah, that was the mom and dad in the remake of Parent Trap. But Hayley Mills was in the original Parent Trap which I saw back in the day. Might have even been black and white. I don't know who who was Lindsay Lohan and lead

to that. Lindsay Lorian was the lead remake. We have a special announcement coming in Hot Off the Wire. Oh yeah, that lord, Lindsay Lohan's pregnant. Okay, well, I was going to do a whole Walter Cronkite thing, but I guess I'm not going to do that now. It happened a week ago, so a good track would have been funnier if you'd just let me do it. Did you ever watch The Parent Trap? Guys? No, it's my It's my favorite movie and I watch it on every single plane

I take because it's the lohand one. No. I literally eat Oreos with peanut butter because of that movie. Orehans with peanut butter. Word from the actress is with child, That's what they eat. That's how they realized they're sisters. Like Oreos and peanut butter. I like Oreos and peanut butter. I've never had Oreos and peanuts so good. It is divine. Did you say Oreos with peanut butter? Yeah? Heavy for me.

Oh no, it's fantastic. Okay. I guess you would eat that if you were pregnant the way I wouldn't eat it ever, I mean, Lindsay Lohand is right now the movie which she was like five years old, suggests suggestions. Just okay, So all right, Danielle, I think you're up. Okay. Taylor's telling Lorela that he already found fourteen complaints about the inn, and Taylor goes most of them are small infractions. But it's the little things, the details that distinguished the

barber the Barber streisands from the Rosslyn Kinds. Barbra Streisan is a singer, actress, and director with a career spanning over six decades. She is one of the few performers performers awarded and e got um. Rosalin, on the other hand, is an actress and songwriter. She is the maternal half sister of Barbara Streistan. She has been performing on Broadway

and other venues since her teenage years. Arguably very successful in herself um, but Barbara is significantly more successful and popular than Rosalin, and Rosin's bio's bio names her as Barbara Streisen's half sister. Wa that's a good, good reference though. All right, Soa gave her parents the keys the outside private room. Rory says, bye, you are the bad seed Laura, I says, I have the prettiest mother. Everybody thinks so,

and she strokes Rory. That's a really great moment. So Loralai is saying a line from the movie The Bad Seed. Bad Seat is in nineteen fifty six American psychological thriller film that focuses on a family with a seemingly perfect little girl, Rhoda and her mother, Christine, who eventually realizes that her daughter's actually a murderer. One of Rhoda's most popular lines is, Oh, I've got the prettiest mother. I've got the nicest mother. That's what I tell everybody. I say,

I've got the sweetest mother in the world. Do I need to watch this movie? Yeah, I've never heard of it. Just watch Ginny and Georgia, very similar that everyone loves Ginny and Georgia is one of them a murderer the mom. Yeah, yes, I'm going to need to watch that, and you would like it's great. It's so good. Right now, I'm not even allowed to say this, but I'm watching a show that's coming out like a couple of weeks. I got a sneak preview of it, and I'm scared to say

the title. It is so good you're seeing you're seeing something that Ryan produced. Nope, I got a Netflix show that's come that's I got it early. You approve of it? Like, do you recommend it? Oh? My god? Clearly really good. I'll tell you guys in a couple of weeks. Well, I mean, if people really want to see a show, they should tune in to Sullivan's Crossing. Well, first of all, thank you so much. How did they do that? If they live in America, we can't say anything yet. It's

very frustrating. Wait when does it premiere in Canada? Is it on Sunday night? March? Wow? Nineteenth? It'll air up there in Canada. Do you have to go all the way back to where you film? Did you go into a better place in Canada? Well? No, I'm going to Toronto. To Toronto. Where did you film it? Though? Halifax? Okay? Is Toronto on the left or the right? It's kind of on the right ish Okay, Yeah, it's it's it's

east coast. It's considered northeast. Okay. Yeah. Emily wants a room of her own and sees Jason sitting in the lobby and ask him if he asked by the way, that was very funny. Do you have a room? No, Mom, he doesn't. He just showed up here because apparently it's Blake Edwards night at the dragon Fly. Blake Edwards was

a film director, producer, screenwriter, actor. Edwards began his career in the forties as an actor, but he soon began writing screenplays and radio scripts before turning to producing and directing and television and film. Blake was hailed as Hollywood master of screwball farces and rude comedies like Victor Victoria

and the Pink Panther movie. Kind Of ending with a thud there because I don't really care too much about Blake Edwards, but whatever, he just happened to be a comedy master who worked with the greatest comedic actress of all time. But yeah, let's just dishim instead. Can I ask the question about myself? Peter Sellers, Hello, I know pink Panther, Pink Panther. I used to be able to play that on the piano. Yeah, whatever, it was like Jaws two notes or something. Can I ask the question

this is very self serving, total obnoxious question about me. Yes, okay, do we feel like I can read prompter? Really well, Like should I have been a news anchor because I feel like I pretty much flawlessly delivered. I think you are job. I think you do a very solid job. Thank you. Like I agree. In my original dream of my career, I thought I was going to be like a news anchor. And what's the girl that they say all the time? Christine? Oh um, I'm on, poor Christian,

I'm there you she's more of like a order. Yeah, she's an investigator job. I wanted to be there. Have you read off a teleprompt or Amy? No, but I feel like I'm nail though. Yeah you would. When I was in college, though, I took a news reporting class. And what's cool is they can do with based on the speed of how you read, so someone's like doing it. So if you're a fast reader, they'll just fly through it.

And if I need to go to KTLA and practice with the telepar there's a website that you can practice it. Send me it. I'll find I'll find I used to know it. I'll find it in tech. We'd love to fly you to New York. Have you seen all expenses paid? We'd like to come audition for us.
