Greetings and Travel Woes
00:00:08
The Amazing Rewatch
Hello. Hello. Hello. Well, well, well. Where have you been? I have been in Costa Rica and I was supposed to leave two days before we actually left.
00:00:25
The Amazing Rewatch
Almost three days before we actually left. Mm-hmm. But the the storm that went through at the end of January, it didn't affect the Salt Lake City Airport and it didn't affect any of the airports that I went to, but it caused my flight to be canceled twice.
00:00:43
The Amazing Rewatch
And it was a mess. So this the January sister session is now going to be posted on February 4th. yeah And February is a short month. So you're going to hear from us again in like three and a half weeks. But that's okay.
00:01:02
The Amazing Rewatch
And here we are. I haven't written anything down either.
Exploring Classic Literature
00:01:06
The Amazing Rewatch
If we're going to do like the R-E-P-O-R-T... I know. I didn't either. We don't have to stick to that format. We could just talk.
00:01:15
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. um Have you ever read Wuthering Heights? No. It's really hard to read. Yeah. We're reading it for book club for February. oh man.
00:01:26
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. and obviously the movie comes out this month. Which I'm super excited for the movie. I really like that director. And it looks really interesting. Like her artistic direction she took with it.
00:01:40
The Amazing Rewatch
But I'd never read it. And I'm on like chapter three. and I seriously had no idea who was even talking. I don't even know who the narrator is.
00:01:50
The Amazing Rewatch
Or what is going on. I looked it up online online. uh chapter um explanations for the first three chapters yeah like Wuthering Heights for Dummies because I seriously and I read the notes and I'm I'm like oh I didn't know that person i didn't even know what was happening so it'll be interesting and I'm also I had bought the book and I I'm also listening to it because it's kind of a longer book yeah sometimes it's easier to just kind of
00:02:21
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. And I won't be able to finish it if I just read it. Yeah. The paper copy. But oh goodness, I'm interested to see where it goes because right now I'm it's too hard.
00:02:33
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. It's not like, I don't know, an enjoyable read yet. Well, and it's like people love it and it's a classic for a reason and it's stood the test of time apparently. yeah.
00:02:47
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah I don't know. i Maybe someday we'll read it. Once upon a time when I applied to work at Barnes and Noble back when I was 21, 22.
00:02:59
The Amazing Rewatch
this was in 2011, think. And got the job. thousand eleven i think and i got the job And it was a really fun job, but and it like inspired me to want to read more. So I made a goal that year to read more classic literature.
00:03:20
The Amazing Rewatch
And I read Pride and Prejudice. oh And that's where I got and I stopped. And I love Pride and Prejudice. And I loved the book. But then the next one I tried to read was um The Count of Monte Cristo and it's long. Yeah.
00:03:35
The Amazing Rewatch
And I got like a few chapters in and I was like, I'm not doing this. And I never picked it up again and I didn't read any others. Yeah. So. and know. Classics. I think I did read The Great Gatsby. What makes a book like a classic?
00:04:01
The Amazing Rewatch
But yeah, what makes something a classic? I don't know And why have we why are books in school, why are we assigned all the same books in school?
00:04:13
The Amazing Rewatch
Like every school across the country? I don't know. Why do we all have to read Great Gatsby? Yeah. I didn't read Great Gatsby in high school. I don't think.
00:04:22
The Amazing Rewatch
Maybe. we i know I read To Kill a Mockingbird, which I also loved. And we read Frankenstein, which I actually surprisingly liked.
00:04:33
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. And I think that was like the only two that i like finished. We read... The Crucible, but I think that's a play.
00:04:44
The Amazing Rewatch
And I think I read that in history. Oh, and The Scarlet Letter? Oh, yeah. I did read The Scarlet Letter. i Was that middle school? that was No, that was high school. Like Mr. Cox's English, I think.
00:04:56
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, I don't know who decides that and...
00:05:00
The Amazing Rewatch
i there's It's probably the specific lessons that are taught in the book that make it widely studied in every high school. I don't know. To Kill a Mockingbird, feel like that's a good one for um talking about race and like laws and yeah uh what's the yeah what is the word that i'm thinking of justice maybe i don't know yeah so maybe next month when we do this i will tell you it's the best book i ever read but right now weathering heights is really hard
00:05:41
The Amazing Rewatch
And i finished Hamnet and that was our book club book and went and saw the movie. That one was really good. It's very emotional. The book and the movie, but really good.
00:05:54
The Amazing Rewatch
I've heard good things about it. So I've seen several of the movies nominated for the Oscars this year. And all the ones I've seen are really good. So I would be happy with any of them that win.
Social Media and Society
00:06:05
The Amazing Rewatch
I've seen none. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen any of them. You should watch Sinners. You've told me that. In fact, maybe on the last podcast. Maybe I did. Something we recorded recently, you told me to watch Sinners.
00:06:17
The Amazing Rewatch
Everyone in the world should watch it. But you should watch it It's like not that scary. I could sit i could watch it alone at night. I might someday. Maybe before the oscar say do Oscars. it before the Oscars.
00:06:28
The Amazing Rewatch
I read, what's the one with um Emma Stone? Begonia? You read that? I read a synopsis of it. okay. Yeah, I read the synopsis of that too. It's not one I want to watch. Yeah, sounds weird.
00:06:42
The Amazing Rewatch
I don't even know. Oh, I was sitting behind somebody that was watching the Leonardo DiCaprio movie. One battle after another. Yeah. Yeah, that one was really good.
00:06:53
The Amazing Rewatch
It wasn't good? It was really good. It was really good. So I saw like five minute increments like here and there as I peeked into their screen. It's one of those movies that's like... On from the very first second.
00:07:05
The Amazing Rewatch
It doesn't really have a... Okay, breathe. No breather. It's all like... No downtime. Go, go, go Very interesting. I liked it and the acting was really good. So... theyll I heard that the Timothee Chalamet one is really interesting.
00:07:24
The Amazing Rewatch
But it's not really one that's calling to me to watch. What's called? Marty Supreme. I'm sure his acting is really good, but it's not something I'm like, I really got to watch that.
00:07:43
The Amazing Rewatch
People try way too hard. like they've always been like that. Because there's not really an an Oscars movie ever since like Lord of the Rings. That has been something that has been a popular movie. Yeah. That has been in the best film of the year or whatever. Yeah.
00:08:00
The Amazing Rewatch
That's pretty much only one I can think of. You know, and like Titanic was, but it didn't win. But, you know, there's only a few that are actually. Titanic didn't win best ah best movie? I don't think so. Oh, no. Saving Private Ryan didn't win.
00:08:13
The Amazing Rewatch
Oh, yeah. Shakespeare in Love beat it that year. Yeah. And it was kind of controversial. Yeah. Controversial? Controversial? don't know. Both, maybe?
00:08:25
The Amazing Rewatch
Anyways. Yeah. Yeah. I like the Oscars. I just like to see what people are wearing and... I still am interested and I will watch it, but I don't have like a huge attachment because I don't really watch the Oscar movies, like not the nominated movies anymore. Yeah. the Grammys were two days ago and Bad Bunny won album of the year, which I love. I love his album. I'm excited for him to be in the Super Bowl on Sunday.
00:08:56
The Amazing Rewatch
Big week for him. And the Olympics start on Friday. exciting We love the Olympics. Yeah. Speaking of the Olympics, when we got back to the Salt Lake Airport and um they have like the Utah 2034 sign at the airport.
00:09:12
The Amazing Rewatch
And that the logo for the Olympics is also controversial. It is. People hate I like it. I know. I think it's cool. Also, it is just one of those things that is just.
00:09:26
The Amazing Rewatch
Just enjoy things. I know. Like why? It's not that big of a deal. Really. It's not that big of a deal. Just enjoy things. Just look at it and say, maybe say, that's not for me.
00:09:39
The Amazing Rewatch
And that's it yeah That's all have I wouldn't have designed it like that, but cool for the people that did. Yeah. If they hired me, it wouldn't have looked like that, but they didn't. So that's all I have to say. People get so angry about so many things. Just worked up about everything. and Right now, nowadays. Right now, now, now, nowadays.
00:09:59
The Amazing Rewatch
There are a lot of things to be upset and worked up about. I know, and this is not one of them. there are lot of things not to be upset and worked up about. Oh my gosh, seriously. People just need to chill out and just enjoy life. Why do you have to get so upset about so many things all the time? Yeah.
00:10:14
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. The so logo, I mean, it's interesting and unique and fun. cool yeah that's it doesn't but people are so it's exhausting what was i i was listening to another podcast actually maybe i shouldn't even try to say this because i can't think of what it said but what we were talking about it just like 10 10 years ago even When like social media, it was around but not like divisive the way it is. And just like you can't you can't do and anything without somebody having an opinion yeah about it.
00:10:57
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. And i like I like listening to the podcast called Psychobabble. It's Tyler Oakley and Corey Kuhl, their podcast. And they've been doing it for over 10 years now. I've listened to every single episode. Like I have been a huge fan. And they say a lot of times, not everything is made for you.
00:11:15
The Amazing Rewatch
Not everything is for everyone. that's made That wasn't made for you. You didn't enjoy it. It wasn't made for you. Yeah. Like people, I saw somebody post on Instagram that she like posts recipes. Yes, the black bean one.
00:11:30
The Amazing Rewatch
I don't know. But it was like ah she posted a brownie recipe and somebody comments and says, I don't like brownies. Yeah. Okay, i fine. Then make cookies. Like you don't have to use this recipe or something like that. Or she put black beans in and somebody's like, but I don't like black beans.
00:11:46
The Amazing Rewatch
Well, then don't make it. You don't have to say that. i have to But give us your opinion. i don't care. Like, why do you care? Yeah. it Yeah.
00:11:57
The Amazing Rewatch
That recipe's not for you. i can't imagine like just being so... um miserable in my life that my it consists of going on social media and finding something I don't like and commenting about it i never comment on anything no i hope I'll comment on TikTok sometimes, but it's reacting to something funny or saying something funny or responding to like a positive way. I don't think I've ever said anything.
00:12:28
The Amazing Rewatch
I mean, i don't think I know i have never said anything negative on a comment on any social media platform. No. I don't even hardly eat like heart stuff. Yeah. Like when I accidentally like double tap and push a heart, I like turn it like I unheart it. Yeah. Because I'm like, I don't want.
00:12:45
The Amazing Rewatch
I don't want anyone to know my opinions on anything. Yes.
Personal Anecdotes and Memory
00:12:49
The Amazing Rewatch
I did respond to somebody on Facebook. It was some political post. Oh, it was about like the the new district maps in Utah. And somebody was mad saying like um Utah is majority Republican. We don't need a seat to have like a Democratic representative.
00:13:16
The Amazing Rewatch
And i all I did was comment like I bet there's a lot of people that register Republicans so that they can vote in the primaries. Because that's what I do. Because that's like the only time in the Utah voting process that you really have a voice is if you vote in the Republican primaries.
00:13:35
The Amazing Rewatch
And the response was like, oh, so you're just cheating? like, no, I'm educated on how to make my voice matter. Like, okay, I'm done with this conversation. I regret I said anything.
00:13:46
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. ah Yeah, it's it's exhausting. Yes. Well, how did we go? Wuthering Heights is how we got on this conversation. We've just kind of meandered.
00:13:58
The Amazing Rewatch
um I am reading.
00:14:01
The Amazing Rewatch
Well, I'm listening to what's it called? The Kind Worth Saving. i need to finish it tonight, actually. I still have four and half hours left. Oh. Because it has to go back little But it's a sequel to The Kind Worth Killing. Did I talk about that one? i don't remember.
00:14:17
The Amazing Rewatch
i read them I read that one pretty quickly or listened to that one pretty quickly. um And they're just like horrible people that don't feel bad about killing people.
00:14:27
The Amazing Rewatch
But they're interesting. Oh, yeah. It's due in one hour. oh I don't think going to make Libby. I don't think I'm going to. I need to renew it.
00:14:38
The Amazing Rewatch
Renew. There we go. um But I also read the Frozen River. Yeah, we talked about that one. and Drowning.
00:14:50
The Amazing Rewatch
Is the title of another one? Mm-hmm. Oh, okay I think it's called Drowning. And I have to go to my Goodreads. I finally am in Goodreads. And you discovered that it's a terrible app? Yeah, it's the worst.
00:15:03
The Amazing Rewatch
Seriously, of the billions of dollars this company has? Yeah. What are they doing? I don't know. It's pretty awful. Yeah, drowning. It's about like a plane that crashes in the water like right after takeoff.
00:15:19
The Amazing Rewatch
And there's like a group of people. they' Like the plane is basically underwater. And they are still alive. And they have to like figure out how to survive. And o it was really intense.
00:15:32
The Amazing Rewatch
Sounds intense. And I liked it.
00:15:33
The Amazing Rewatch
um Yeah. Those are the three that I've read this Nice. And now it's February. It's a new month. Nice. Book club for this month is
00:15:44
The Amazing Rewatch
is the Enchanted River. It was something to do with a river. Because I thought it was funny that we were doing two, we were doing the Frozen Rivers. Oh, a river enchanted.
00:15:57
The Amazing Rewatch
So I have to start that one soon. Yeah. I haven't heard that one. Yeah. I downloaded a lot of things on my phone with the intention of listening to them on the plane.
00:16:08
The Amazing Rewatch
But I slept a lot of the time. I actually did listen to quite a few of my podcast episodes that i had downloaded. Yeah.
00:16:19
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah I like sleeping on a plane. Huh? I like sleeping on the plane. Yeah. I fall asleep really easily on plane. I do too i have my little eye mask thing that attaches to the back of the seat. I left it on the plane.
00:16:34
The Amazing Rewatch
And I know. And then I just told Sadie before we got on this podcast that I left a gift card in my hotel room. I am losing my mind. Yeah. I am so forgetful.
00:16:45
The Amazing Rewatch
And just like I don't notice things as well as I used to. i don't know if that's true either. I just don't know the same way in things.
00:16:56
The Amazing Rewatch
I feel like a brain fog, but and it's not even like a brain fog. It's more kind of just a brain lag. I don't know. Like I have sticky notes on my desk at work that says like a number.
00:17:10
The Amazing Rewatch
I'm like, why did i write what was that number for? What is this for? What supposed to do with this? Yeah. I have to leave myself a very...
00:17:18
The Amazing Rewatch
very More detailed. Yeah, detailed note because I can't even yeah remember anything. Yeah. And i remember like the whole week that gift card sat on the nightstand by the bed in the hotel. And I i remember exactly where it was.
00:17:36
The Amazing Rewatch
And i clean like i I got my chargers and I got my watch and I got my water bottle that were all sitting right there next to it. And i swear I didn't even see it.
00:17:49
The Amazing Rewatch
I don't know. Jeff is tricking you. Well, i the other day a few weeks ago, I bought two workout sets from Aerie. A really cute one that's purple and a cute one that's green.
00:18:00
The Amazing Rewatch
And I cannot find the green one anywhere. And I think I might have thrown it away with the box. Oh, no. But i just can't imagine myself doing that. But where is that set? Where's that green set? Yeah. i I'm like waiting for like that Soul Raven epiphany to be like, huh?
00:18:16
The Amazing Rewatch
And sometimes they do come. But also sometimes I like, like have to like trick my brain. I'm like, okay, it was a fleeting vision. I can't think about it too hard because then we'll get lost. i have to wait for the fleeting vision to come across my mind again. Yeah. And then like, I have to like play mind games with myself to like bring this into into the light. No, i totally know what you're thinking because like, you know, it's like there at the tip of your brain and it's like, it will come if you like stop thinking about it. And if I think about it too hard, old it will go further back into the recesses of my mind. Like a cat or something. Let it come to you.
00:18:54
The Amazing Rewatch
You can't let, like force it. That's how my thoughts are. like Yeah, no, I totally get that. I'm the same way. I'm hoping this vision of my green outfit shows up because I'm really sad. That was a brand new workout set just in the garbage.
00:19:13
The Amazing Rewatch
i Yeah, I'm sure I've done something like that before. we are We are low on forks. I'm pretty sure they get thrown away with yeah plates and stuff.
00:19:25
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Like, where are all of our forks going? Yeah. That's, like, such a random, like. If we, like, if we don't run the dishwasher every day, we run out of forks in one day.
00:19:37
The Amazing Rewatch
should just buy more. I know. i should. They're not going to come from anywhere, probably. Yeah. They're not going to reappear because I'm pretty sure they've been tossed.
00:19:49
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. oh
Binge-Watching and Historical Fiction
00:19:52
The Amazing Rewatch
Well. Well, okay. What are we watching? i am watching Traders. Oh, yes. it's I haven't watched the last episode.
00:20:00
The Amazing Rewatch
Episode seven, think. The banquet? Yeah. You saw the setup of the banquet? Yes. You haven't watched the banquet? No. Did you watch it? Uh-huh. And didn't was it you that was saying that it was supposed to be like the most dramatic or most like... Yeah, well, Alan was on a talk show and he said, episode seven is the most and the most exciting thing to ever happen on Traitors.
00:20:22
The Amazing Rewatch
And I loved it. Do you agree? It was really good. Okay. I don't think anything is ever going to beat... Boss and Rob and Bob the drag queen? Rob calling out Bob the drag queen at the room table. Nothing will ever beat that, but that's a ah so It's up there? Yeah. Okay.
00:20:37
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. I need to watch that. I probably will go home and watch that actually after this. Yeah. I like this season. um Bridgerton. I watched the first four episodes of Bridgerton. I haven't yet. I'm rewatching the series. I'm on season three. Halfway through season three. Okay.
00:20:54
The Amazing Rewatch
So I just. I rewatched the last couple of months. I didn't rewatch every episode. I just like. a few here and there, like some of my favorites. And then then the last half of season three, just to remind myself of what happened.
00:21:11
The Amazing Rewatch
um Not counting the season four because I haven't watched it yet, but which is your favorite season? Two. Two. Season one is my favorite. Season one is so perfect to me.
00:21:23
The Amazing Rewatch
It was a good one. Nostalgic and... Like brings you into the world. Yeah. The casting, yeah. I just, the chemistry between the the leads in season two is like fire and I love them.
00:21:39
The Amazing Rewatch
That's true, but just the so much...
00:21:44
The Amazing Rewatch
It's just that could have just been a conversation. yeah and Oh, I know. we wouldn't have had all these problems. But it's a it's a romance novel trope. I know. But it's just it gets to an annoying point. That's how a season. I love Kate and Anthony. Like, I love them. Yeah.
00:22:01
The Amazing Rewatch
But season two is kind of exhausting. Yeah. Season one is perfect. It went. It, like, showed too much of. Like the engagement of Anthony and Edwina and like leading up to their wedding. And then we don't even get Kate and Anthony's wedding. Yeah.
00:22:18
The Amazing Rewatch
Which they could have like cut the, the previous, like the first part of the season by an episode or two. And then like we get yes more of their story later, but that doesn't happen in the books that he doesn't even get engaged to Edwina at all.
00:22:36
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. I'm, listening to book two right now. Oh, sorry. I ruined it for you. It's okay. I don't. I know that the series doesn't stick with books very well, but
00:22:49
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. That's okay.
00:22:51
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Season four. Well, season four is actually the third book. Okay. Like benedict's Benedict's story is before Collins in the books.
00:23:03
The Amazing Rewatch
But they just had to like keep the Whistledown story progressing. i can see yeah
00:23:09
The Amazing Rewatch
Season four probably is my least favorite so far, but we're only halfway And I love Queen Charlotte. i love Yeah, that's so good. Is it called Queen Charlotte or just Charlotte? Queen Charlotte, yeah.
00:23:21
The Amazing Rewatch
That's a good little one to throw in there. Yeah. Do you ever think about that the King George in Queen Charlotte and the King George in Hamilton are the same person?
00:23:34
The Amazing Rewatch
No, because I didn't know that. Yeah. Huh. You'll be back. That's interesting. Yeah. Like, he's just like this handsome, romantic, yeah but he' lovely character in Queen Charlotte, but he's like a doofus tyrant. Yeah, the tyrant who...
00:23:52
The Amazing Rewatch
we try to free ourselves from. Yeah. yeah I'll think of the, I'll think of them as two different people still. I love the guy who plays King George in that.
00:24:05
The Amazing Rewatch
don't know if I've seen him in anything else. and What's his name? I don't know. I haven't seen him in anything else either. He did a good job though in that season. Also where we're at in Bridgerton season four, like people are thinking that it's like 1816-ish and Queen Charlotte dies in 1818. So like her real life death is coming up soon. Yeah.
00:24:28
The Amazing Rewatch
And King George outlives her, even though he was like in bad health. he I think he died like two or three years after she did in real life.
00:24:37
The Amazing Rewatch
I wonder if they'll do that because nobody even really puts them together. Yeah. Like in the same timeline. least I didn't until you just said that. so
00:24:49
The Amazing Rewatch
And well, I'm... I am learning a lot about this because I've been listening to that Founded podcast. Oh, yeah.
00:24:59
The Amazing Rewatch
I started the first episode. feel like they're annoying. They are a little bit. I don't know if I can even listen to it. They're like, I'm like, calm down.
00:25:11
The Amazing Rewatch
No, they are a little bit over the top, especially the one. So like the one that's like the way that this podcast is formatted is there's two friends and one is like doing all the research and teaching us about the revolution.
00:25:25
The Amazing Rewatch
And she's telling the other person who doesn't know anything about it to get like her genuine reactions and stuff like that. And the person that she's That is being taught is a little bit annoying to me.
00:25:41
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. But the information that I'm learning is like interesting enough that i can ignore her. Okay. I may have to get a little bit farther than the first episode. I was like, oh my gosh. yeah so yeah. I think...
00:25:57
The Amazing Rewatch
There, it's probably like 20 to 30 episodes in and we I am at 1765, which is nine, 11 11 years before the Declaration of Independence is even signed. So it's just like everything leading up to it. And um yeah, like King George and all the people. They talked about George Washington yet?
00:26:22
The Amazing Rewatch
Yes. um But not in the context of the revolution yet. They talked about him in the French and Indian War. yeah That's like one of the earliest episodes. So if you keep with it, you'll learn about it.
00:26:36
The Amazing Rewatch
My favorite podcast, The History Chicks, just went back to Martha Washington. So they've been doing it for... I think like 12 years or something like that. And she was one of their first episodes. And so they redid it because what's his name? That photographer?
00:26:56
The Amazing Rewatch
Ken Burns just did a Revolutionary War documentary. m And so they just revisited it because a lot of people were watching that documentary. And...
00:27:18
The Amazing Rewatch
yeah.
00:27:21
The Amazing Rewatch
It's interesting, like, how many things um have, like, come into my realm in that time period since I've started listening to this podcast. Like the frozen river takes place kind of like late 1700s. Bridgerton is kind of within that timeline. um There's been like a couple of other things.
00:27:47
The Amazing Rewatch
And I'm like, huh, I guess we're in a 1700s time period in my early eighteen hundreds in my pop culture yeah partakings right now.
00:27:59
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. um I saw something that was like, when you watch Bridgerton, you don't think about how much horse poop is in the streets. Right.
00:28:13
The Amazing Rewatch
And how stinky everything was and all this stuff. It's like Bridgerton is a fan fiction, not reality. I'm like, I think we all knew that. Yeah. where Yeah. Everything looks so clean and beautiful and like you don't really see like the poor people. no Of London. no And there were lots of them. Yeah.
00:28:34
The Amazing Rewatch
And yeah I'm like to the point of when Eloise is mad at Penelope and you know and like Eloise is such a spoiled brat.
00:28:47
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. She's so rich and she always is talking about women bla of blah blah blah. Well yeah but there's like poor women who have it really really really bad.
00:28:58
The Amazing Rewatch
You're a rich woman and it's not that bad. Yeah. But this is a fan fiction. It's not that serious. Yeah. But sometimes I'm like, okay, you're just a spoiled brat. And I really like her, but sometimes I'm like.
00:29:09
The Amazing Rewatch
Do you know who Eloise marries in the books? Doesn't she marry um the husband of Miss Thompson? Yeah.
00:29:19
The Amazing Rewatch
Marina? Marina. Yeah. Yes. Sir Philip. Yeah.
00:29:26
The Amazing Rewatch
I just know. I just don't know how they get there. I'm guessing Marina dies.
00:29:32
The Amazing Rewatch
I actually liked her book. One of the best of the series. Yeah. Eloise and Francesca, I think, were my two favorites.
00:29:41
The Amazing Rewatch
They take so long to make these up these seasons. Eloise is going to be like 45 by the time they get to her season. I know. Because she's supposed to be like 18 and she's already like 30.
00:29:52
The Amazing Rewatch
The actress is like in her mid-30s. Yeah. Yeah.
00:29:56
The Amazing Rewatch
Yes. So they need to hurry. And like what is taking so long? I know. And why do they split them into two?
00:30:07
The Amazing Rewatch
i know. If it was like a 20 episode season. Fine. But it's eight episodes. Yeah. And you're giving us four at a time. Yeah. So stupid.
00:30:18
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. And it's it's also like if you like maybe you need to just make a movie. Yeah. Instead of a series. Because you take so long and you make us wait.
00:30:29
The Amazing Rewatch
And then you get it here and you make us wait. Yeah. And there is a lot of filler. Mm-hmm. Like, i I think the reason that people don't love season three as much is because, like, Penelope and Colin were the main story, but they were, like, not in it very much. Like, there was a lot of, like, sub-stories. Mm-hmm.
00:30:51
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, they introduced a lot of sub-stories in 3. the boxer that turns into, that opens that bar, like, why do we have this story?
00:31:04
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, they're very random storyline.
00:31:08
The Amazing Rewatch
They're not in the books. Yeah. I'm just wondering why they're in the movie, in the show, because
00:31:14
The Amazing Rewatch
it's not interesting. No.
00:31:17
The Amazing Rewatch
Um, what else are we watching? That's pretty much it. And it's the only thing that's like current, not like a rewatch. Yeah.
00:31:29
The Amazing Rewatch
I'm not even really rewatching anything right now, am I?
00:31:33
The Amazing Rewatch
I don't. I'll just watch an episode of Downton Abbey here and there. But yeah, I'm not really watching a lot of TV other than those couple things. Oh, I watched the last, like the final chapter, Downton Abbey, the final chapter on the plane to Costa Rica.
00:31:49
The Amazing Rewatch
It was not that good. Yeah, it definitely was just a nostalgia. Yeah. Just ah a, we'll get you guys together for the fans. Yeah.
00:31:59
The Amazing Rewatch
The storyline is silly. Yeah.
00:32:02
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. I can't even remember it now. I just know that they like are buying an apartment in yeah London. Mary got divorced and – People are like shunning her. Yeah.
00:32:15
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. And they're like downsizing. Just like the the times are changing and like the lords and ladies are not –
00:32:23
The Amazing Rewatch
It's just not the way that it was. Yeah.
00:32:27
The Amazing Rewatch
Which is interesting. Because they've been telling us that since the beginning. And Mary was like, I'll never let that happen. You should just let us keep believing in that.
00:32:39
The Amazing Rewatch
It was cute, though. Just a good, just, yeah, Yeah. nostalgic. Speaking of that, I was thinking the other day, like,
00:32:48
The Amazing Rewatch
About Bridgerton and like the, their titles. So like Anthony is Lord Bridgerton. Like it's his last name. Viscount Bridgerton.
00:32:59
The Amazing Rewatch
But
00:33:01
The Amazing Rewatch
like Simon is like Duke of Hastings. So what makes them, what decides whether they have their last name or like a place?
00:33:13
The Amazing Rewatch
Well, because when he first, when Simon first comes, he calls him something else that starts with a C. Because that's what he, his name was in when they went to Oxford together or whatever. Antony and Simon.
00:33:27
The Amazing Rewatch
And Simon Bassett is his last name, his actual last name. Yeah. Yeah.
00:33:32
The Amazing Rewatch
Okay. Yeah. So not a C. But he's the Duke of Hastings. Yeah. But he's like Anthony is not, Antony is not the Viscount of Bridgerton. Like it's Viscount Bridgerton.
00:33:45
The Amazing Rewatch
But like the Mondriches, they are um like their son is like the Baron of Kent.
00:33:54
The Amazing Rewatch
I don't know. But like Penelope's dad was Lord Featherington. Mm-hmm.
00:33:59
The Amazing Rewatch
Let's see. I'm not up to date on English gentry and why they have titles of the way they do.
00:34:10
The Amazing Rewatch
And I've also looked it up like 15 times. Like what's the, I know that like Duke is the highest, like under Prince. And then I think Earl and then Viscount. And then I don't know. I don't know the order.
00:34:25
The Amazing Rewatch
Are you looking things up? Yeah. in the british period In the British peerage system, a person's title changes to a higher rank, such as from Viscount to Duke, or adopts a different family name upon inheriting a title or being granted a new one by one of the monarch.
00:34:40
The Amazing Rewatch
um
00:34:42
The Amazing Rewatch
Specific instances when titles and last names change is when you inherit like a Duke, the title passes to the next eldest heir who assumes that title and uses the territorial name.
00:34:55
The Amazing Rewatch
ah so so like a territory that you're in charge of.
00:35:01
The Amazing Rewatch
But Duke is like one of the highest. Yeah. But a Viscount is not as high as a Duke. So you don't, I don't think. Like when they are in the season, Simon is talking about like the taxes of the people and his.
00:35:15
The Amazing Rewatch
But I don't think Anthony Bridgerton's in charge of any any people. I think he is. Like Like that's his job in season two.
00:35:24
The Amazing Rewatch
And like why he feels so much responsibility. He never talks about him.
00:35:28
The Amazing Rewatch
um And then, like, okay, so he's the Duke of Hastings. Is there also Viscount of Hastings, an Earl of Hastings, a Baron of Hastings? Like, is there is there one of every title for each place?
00:35:43
The Amazing Rewatch
Probably not. Maybe. That should be one of the trips that i like, a group trip that I host is, like, an English group. history british history trip where we learn about titles that would you could be doing that for decades learning about british history yes historically a vicount was in charge of people serving as a deputy or lieutenant to a an earl to manage local areas administer justice collect taxes and command soldiers
00:36:17
The Amazing Rewatch
Viscount ranks below an Earl and above a Baron.
00:36:21
The Amazing Rewatch
think that's what I said. I think I said Duke, then Earl, then Viscount, then Baron.
Upcoming Events and Celebrations
00:36:25
The Amazing Rewatch
Marquess is somewhere in there too. Then wouldn't that be Viscountess? Would she be the wife of the Earl?
00:36:33
The Amazing Rewatch
The Viscountess. Marquess. Marquess. No, I think that's the title. The Marquess is the man. What do they call the woman? The wife of an Earl?
00:36:44
The Amazing Rewatch
No. The wife of a... Because ah Edith is a In Downton Abbey, Edith is a... Marquess.
00:36:54
The Amazing Rewatch
Marquess.
00:36:55
The Amazing Rewatch
British nobleman ranking above an earl below a duke. So that's like high. What was the fi the person married Female Marquess is the Martianess.
00:37:07
The Amazing Rewatch
Martianess? Yeah. Martianess. So we have Duke and Duchess, Marquess and Martianess,
00:37:16
The Amazing Rewatch
Viscount and Viscountess. What's the earl?
00:37:21
The Amazing Rewatch
Earl.
00:37:23
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah, Lady Edith Crawley is the marchioness of a hex in Downton Abbey. Named after Bertie Pelham, who inherits inherits the title.
00:37:55
The Amazing Rewatch
think that would be like in my top five of movies same to watch forever and ever. Yep. I just watched it a couple months ago.
00:38:03
The Amazing Rewatch
Well, we're 42 minutes in and have talked a lot about a lot of things. What we're reading, what we're watching.
00:38:13
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. What's happening? Well, we're also going to be watching season 18 of The Amazing Race, which is Unfinished Business, finished which we're really looking forward to. And that will be coming out in March.
00:38:25
The Amazing Rewatch

00:38:33
The Amazing Rewatch

00:38:46
The Amazing Rewatch
What else? What other amazing race news? We still have not watched the season that just aired. no I need to get into that. I'm sure I'll like it. Like once I get started.
00:38:58
The Amazing Rewatch
um
00:38:59
The Amazing Rewatch
Natalie from Amazing Race is on the season of Traitors, but they never mention the Amazing Race. No, because she was on Survivor after, apparently. Yeah. And that's what she's more known for. It's just like they just don't mention Amazing Race anywhere ever.
00:39:14
The Amazing Rewatch
I know. So weird. Like, does Survivor have that much higher ratings and, like, Big Brother have that much higher ratings than Amazing Race? I guess. Or do they pull people from those two shows because they're, like, the quote-unquote gamers?
00:39:29
The Amazing Rewatch
And they... Because, like, Amazing Race is not really like that. It's, like, you do your tasks and you don't, like, besides a yeah U-turn and That's really it here and there. There's no like social play.
00:39:46
The Amazing Rewatch
Yeah. Like strategy. Yeah. I guess. But there are some amazing racers with like strong and fun and interesting personalities that could do a good job on traders.
00:40:00
The Amazing Rewatch
James Wallington should be on traders. Yeah.
00:40:17
The Amazing Rewatch
What else?
00:40:18
The Amazing Rewatch
