Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of I've seen a million trends and I've rocked them all. That is courtesy of Blinky Heck and uh Kanie siwaha, Uh Sheldon, not the way that I think it's usually spelled.
On the dip board.
And uh yeah, rock is.
Literary.
Yeah, shout out to that gang Andrew guys.
Yeah yeah, but it's you had another example of Twitter cool.
I'm Jack.
That's Miles and these are some of the things that are trending. There may be a cure for morning sickness. Okay, scientists have finally figured out what causes morning sickness. Feels like one of those things that would have been figured out a while back but for the patriarchy, But they've finally figured out what causes it. People experience morning sickness during pregnancy because, according to a new study, there's a surge and a hormone called g d F fifteen during the first trimester.
Get the fuck out of my.
Body fifteen times fifteen.
It's I mean, the morning sickness is not one of my homegrows. She had to go on fucking disability yes, because her morning sickness was so debilitating. So yeah, I mean it is interesting that I guess, like you're saying, why do it take so long to figure these things out.
We've like treat curing baldness and directile dysfunction like it is the race for nuclear weapons. You know, it's like the Manhattan Project and those two.
Projects for us to live on exactly make bring hairline back. Also, we didn't know where that a snake had a glitterist till like a year ago.
But this is Yeah, it's a big like nausea and vomiting effect. About eighty percent of people during pregnancy, around two percent experience an extreme form of morning sickness, which sounds like your friend might have suffered from.
They can lead to weight.
Loss, dehydration, and even hospitalization. It just it's it's so brutal, so brutal time to be sick. You know, you're like, yeah, wake up, hit your feet hit the floor, and you're like, oh shit.
And I'm absolutely fucked. Hey, uh, sperm guy, what how's it been for you? I don't know I just did that one part.
What you mean, why do you feel bad?
Hey? What's wrong? You like drinkle lout or something? Are you fucking and for real, did I drink or something?
I hate hungovers.
This is also the most reliable way to know someone is pregnant in a movie. Oh yeah, so I don't I don't know what filmmakers are gonna do from that point from this point forward, if they do find a way to treat this.
By the way, this is not they have not.
This is just hope that they could lead to.
This could lead to a treatment, because also you have to be very careful when it comes to creating medicines for people who are in early pregnancy, which tends to be when morning sickness hits the hardest. My dumb ass thought it was a baby in there, probably pushing on your stomach and that's why you got mourning sickness. Baby probably coming from inside. Yeah, but in retrospect, that doesn't make any fucking sense, because it is it's usually very early in pregnancy.
That's all because like, yeah, men do not experience a ton of hormones hitting your body and yeah, just throwing everything out of whack. That's you know, that's why it's like you what, yeah, you are right.
Well, what's your fucking problem?
Me? Ginger ill? That probably help?
Oh hell yeah, Gingerill.
That like always works for me, okay for you, dumb ass.
I do think we can probably at this point guarantee that there will never be a hangover cure because that does affect men, and I feel like they they would have come up with a cure by now if they.
I mean, there's a lot of stuff. I mean, Asia is definitely on the cutting edge of trying to figure out how to not feel the pain of binge drinking, because there are a lot like in Japan and Korea, there are a lot of like pre blackout drinks you can have that like swear it will, like, you know, help you safely land the plane of your liver the next day. Wow, But like.
But you have to drink it before you get blacked out.
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, well that's.
Come and then maybe invent time travel.
Yeah, maybe I'll do that in the women's room in secret at the bar. All right, dude, right the fuck?
But yeah, I mean, there have been some partially effective therapies in the past, but people are often reluctant to take them due to the lack of scientific understanding of the disorder and also a fear of, like we said, using medication and pregnancy.
So step one achieved.
Step one. There we go.
Yep, identify the source, all right.
People are putting out TikTok trends of twenty twenty three. Thought we'd take a look through those because we didn't get to them in our hear and review and review episode which is coming later this year when we're off. But of course, for TikTok trends, this year, we got girl dinner.
Yep, Girl dinner was everywhere because even I saw it in a fucking ad for like weight Watchers too. Like it's it's been fully co opted by corporate marketing. So that's that's when you know you've reached new heights when yeah, the marketing room and at a company's like oh the grill grilled dinner at real Quick.
Yeah.
It did inspire discussions about topics like what is healthy eating and the shelter around disordered eating, as well as like new derivatives of the trend, including musical parodies and boy dinner, which.
Everybody, you don't want boy dinner, so you want boy dinner. Look, I'll tell you right now. It's called hummus and eggs boy perfectly. My god, I hate that ship once always like, fuck.
Here we go hummus and eggs, slob buffet can use the eggs is like the thing you dip in the hummus? Yeah, kind of amazing.
Pop it. It's not good. It was not good.
Acting like you're in a Wes Anderson film. Uh, this one. I was always just like, damn, y'all are like good filmmakers, like some of them really fucking like that's that's not an easy thing.
To pull off. This TikToker.
Ava Williams just did like her commute to work, like the train she takes to work in New York, but like through the lens of a Wes Anderson film. And it was really well done.
I mean, I feel like it. I mean it. To do it well is definitely a feat. But like I think, just the rule of thumb is just look for symmetry in every single shot. That's all you need. Don't don't don't load your characters to the right or left of the frame. They got to be center framed and make sure there's all that symmetry in the camera. And then you've got Wes Anderson. Do you know what the where's my Dad?
Audio clip?
No, I don't. I missed this one. This is because it's something I say out loud all the.
Time, just blended in background noise.
Yeah, of course, man, where's my dad?
But so it's an audio clip that originated with this kind of terrifying community theater production of Finding Nemo, where the Nemo like paper mache puppet is being operated by this young child and the puppet it looks dead. It's just not a not a well executed rendering. And also the person is operating the puppet. You know, the rule of like puppeteering that I had always kind of taken for granted. What when watching a puppet shows that you wear like black and kind of stay in the background.
And like Trim Blendon, he's just wearing a red T shirt and the lighting is such that he's just as noticeable as the barely moving Nemo puppet that he's holding.
Let's see, I just want to see where's my dad? Okay, all right, I'm involved in there. You got me, kid.
It's kind of interesting because like the thing that is striking about the thing is like how weird the puppet is, and like his per like he's he's got a good voice. But then it's just like the audio just got stripped from that because everybody heard that and it like kind of got stuck in their head, and people how the ticking and the talking works, chicken and the talk in these modern times. M And then of course the trend that we might have handled or something.
And I think we started it.
We started we started ship milkshake.
Ye, we knew what we knew, you know, we are we are the fucking ocular receptors. We see it, and then we send the signal to the brain that is culture that something right here. Yeah, something's not right with this Grimace milkshake, and.
And it is that it is. Grimace has come.
Grimaces come, obviously, and it will turn you into a murder. So I mean thank you for yes andding that the internet obviously, because that took it to places even the beautifully imagine beautifully executed some of the best horror filmmaking that I saw this year.
A lot of people were like, it's kind of a weird like movie, kind of an off year for horror films. And that's because the genius of the collective consciousness was being used on TikTok to make grimas cum milkshake viral clips. All right, let's take a quick break, we'll come back and talk some more trends of the year twenty twenty three.
We'll be right back, and we're back. And you know, there's a.
Lot of a lot of talk about a certain film that took the world by storm in July. And I'm of course talking about Sound of Freedom.
Where's Donald Trump, cause you guys a freedom did he? Uh huh? Yeah, he said that, like to try and you know, just sort of conjure up the demon of human trafficking that is actually missing the point of actually harmful human trafficking.
But yeah, fictionalized account of the true story of somebody who is a human like has there's some wild accusations that came out about the person who that is supposedly based on.
Oh yeah, and now everybody is distancing themselves from that guy, Tim Ballard to view his name completely. They're like, oh Jimmy b No, no, not him. Yeah.
And it also, yeah, just get some horrible information out there about what human trafficking actually looks like. And they do not want to know or share information about what it actually is. They want it to know that your children are in danger if you let people into the country or something I don't know.
Anyways, this is your list of worst conservative moved.
Yeah, this is a list of bad conservative movies from our writer JM. Just kind of going through because Sound of Freedom, you might be like, uh, get from from that film's success because it did do bafo bo. I think it was like top close to the top ten or maybe in the top ten also domestic bo.
Remember it was a total like full on I guess scio where people were just buying fucking tickets and like just show up. Yeah, you got to pay for it, right, And I know somebody who felt for that shit, and I had to fucking yell at them to be like, why'd you go this? They said it was free. When I went to the movie theater, I'm like, you're okay, wow, Yeah.
I didn't realize it was that like, because I do know people who went like as a you know, as a journalistic excursion to see it, and they did say like the theaters were crowded, like they there were a lot of people there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sure many though. I mean, like I said, it was like it was like you know when books are on the bestseller lists, like someone buying them already, but not to say that people didn't go see it. That's why I was like surprised when someone I knew who's not it was not like a conservative or right wing. They're just not terminally online. Yeah that They're like, I don't know, it was like this free moving and like I didn't it wasn't that great. I'm like, yeah,
because it's a fucking weird propaganda piece. Yeah there's also but so that that was not the only conservative movie it. Do not be fooled into thinking conservatives have learned how to make movies and now and Hollywood is scared.
They also released Lady.
Ballers, which is a movie, written, directed, and headlined by Daily Wires CEO Jeremy Boring and featuring an appearance by former Daily Wire editor Ben Shapiro. And it is, you know, just very bad. And nobody went to see it. Nobody saw it.
Wasn't it the thing that he tried to start off as like a documentary it could and then.
And then he was like, damn it, the and then the facts aren't cohering. So what I want to say here.
This thing isn't actually real. Oh well, then I guess I'll just make a Ribald comedy.
Yeah, so the premise is that you just become you just set declare I'm girl.
And then you can like enter the w n B A and so fucking stupid.
I also love that, Like even the reviews from the Catholic World Report are not They're even like, I don't know, man, this movie kind of sucks. You know, if high fiving fellow patriots, gender traditionalists, and god fears is the point, then the Daily Wire film succeeds. But if the goal is making a quality film that transformed the culture, then it is a disappointing first effort. Signed the Pope, signed Elpobe.
Uh my son Hunter we covered, but that did come out this year. That was Brave Hunter, Biden biopic, directed by Robert Davey Dobby. He's that guy from He's one of the FBI guys from die Hard and also one of the brothers from the for Telly Crime Family and Goonies. He has gone off his rocker and is a conservative weirdo now.
Or maybe he always was. You know, it's back.
Then it was like yeah, man, right on, brother Reagan, am I right whale?
He's an actor too, But.
Yeah, it's that didn't make that big of a splash. Yeah, they really wanted it to. Yeah, then of course.
We got left Behind Rise of the Anti Christ, which is the first left Behind movie to be written and directed by Kevin Sorbo.
Hell yeah, dude, we need our rapture content. Yeah.
In the trailer there's one part where Sorbo asks who can we trust and someone answers, trust God and tell Yeah that's right. So I don't know nefarious, which sounds when I when I saw that there was a movie called Nefarius made by the Right, I was like, oh shit, I saw that one right like or I saw like trailers for that one, and that's insidious. They just like took a word. They just figured out they focus and were like, okay, so what else? What else did nefarious
we could try? But yeah, it's just a a Christian film that is uh marketed to mainstream audiences as a standard horror movie and then it serves as a Christian allegory and is conveyed with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.
According to Media Matters.
Yeah, hey, they're doing the rest. They're doing their best.
Netflix just dropped a list of like the most watched things from the first half of twenty twenty three. They're trying to get in on this year end thing. Why can't they just hit us with it all?
I don't know. Miles question portioned out like it does, like you you have the data.
Yeah, it's very strange because also they released it as an like downloadable Excel spreadsheet, and it goes all the way to the bottom, like it goes from you know, it makes sense if they it would have made it would have made sense if they were like, here are the ten most watched things, right, it goes from uh, goes down to row let's see here, still scrolling at seventeen thousand, five hundred.
No, yeah, yeah, it goes.
Down to they're flooding the zone with ship dude.
Yeah, goes down to eighteen thy two hundred and twenty fuck yeah.
Wow, okay, okay, don't I don't know what I'm gonna do with all of that data. It's where it's like, all right, I was who fucking who wins? Who won? On Netflix? Yeah?
The Night Agent season one was the big The Big Winner viewed eight hundred and twelve million hours. Jesus, Yeah, I don't really like I noticed that Wednesday came out and that was like one, two, three, four, five or fourth. It was fourth on their list.
Yeah, so many of these I did not see. Like, yeah, it's so weird how Netflix works, Like it'll show you shit that it thinks you're fucking with, and then there's like one of these top shows that it didn't show you at all, or like maybe you missed because you're not on Netflix every day. Yeah, because like of these I saw Wednesday, I saw Queen Charlotte a Bridgerton story, got that one on the plane recently, and not none nothing else. He saw Outer Bank season one, but not the rest.
Wow, you didn't.
How did you resist the siren call of seasons two, two, and three.
I don't know, no, dude, I'm just not down with the OBX like I used to be.
Beef came in at number seventeen with a pretty sturdy two hundred and twenty one million hours viewed. That's a lot of hours. I do think like that these shows are entering the cultural bloodstream like more than we probably realize because everybody seems to have Netflix. As we've talked about Netflix, just like one the whole fucking yeah, one, the whole thing, and.
The second the second you have other media companies being like licensing their shit back to you, even though they started their own streamer. I think that's you can just just tell them that was an l for us. Yeah, here you go, just take maybe you distribute this shit.
Extraction two appears to be the top movie, like coming in at number twenty two or it's up there with two hundred and one million hours viewed, But the thing's kind of low compared to they've claimed movies were how much movies were watched in the past, right, So.
For a second, I was like, what about remember when, like everyone said Bright was like the that like the biggest movie that year with Will Smith? And then I was like, what happened to Bright Too? I didn't realize last year is like it's been canceled.
Yeah, yeah, we're not gonna won't be doing that.
That guy is a monster? Is that from Slapfest? Wait? When was Slapfest? Was that this year?
Slapfest?
Keep my Wife's name out of your fucking mouth?
Oh that was two years ago.
Oh yeah it was twenty two. Oh that's oh shit, they say. Oh so the cancelation of Bright Too happened right after the slap and.
I had nothing to do with the slap okay, okay, too much lifting to for suet this movie yeah first, yeah, but I think they said like that one was viewed one hundred million times, and if you look at the hours viewed on extraction two, it appears that like their top movie of this year was viewed million times. I'm being told Z incorrect. The Mother coming in in the top. You know, twelve or thirteen is actually the number one movie.
That is a twenty twenty three American action thriller starring Jennifer Lopez as a mother who is a US Army operative who partners with an FBI agent to rescue her teenage daughter after she is kidnapped by criminals. This movie was viewed like as much as Avatar based on these numbers, and I did not realize it exists.
What the fuck? I didn't even know there was a completely have no idea. I was blindsided by this. There's a j Lo movie on Netflix of our like Mrking people. Yeah, wow, while fleeing from dangerous assailants and assassin comes out of hiding to protect her daughter, whom she left earlier in life. Had no idea, It had no idea. Well, Netflix you've done it again.
Yeah, I mean, I guess if you look at the number of minutes who streamed, it would be more like one hundred and fifty million dollars of the box office, which is like a sizeable hit. But yeah, instead it is hidden under a bunch of shit.
Yeah. I like, how have varieties even questioning it? They're like, was Jennifer Lopez is the mother one of twenty twenty three's biggest movies. Really, Netflix's gigantic new viewing report shows absurd engagement levels.
Interesting, right, yeah, okay, okay, all.
Right, Well those are some of the things that are trending on this Wednesday, December thirteenth. We are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show, A real banger with one of.
Your favorites, yeah player, son.
Of ours, Yeah, one of yours, one of ours.
So we will talk to you all then.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to your selves, giving fact, and don't do.
Nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to you all tomorrow.
Bye bye,
