The Devil Wears Prada
35 Plays15 hours ago
This week on Go Get Your Girl, we’re strapping on our Chanel boots and entering the emotionally hazardous workplace known as The Devil Wears Prada. We discuss Miranda Priestly’s terrifying and calm aura, Andy’s rapid transformation from “girl who owns one sweater” to Fashion Week cryptid, and why Andy needs a better judge of character when it comes to friends. Also: we all know the real villian of this wasn't Miranda (cough; Nate sucks; cough)

Speaker
although i'm sure there's tons yeah
00:00:05
Speaker
my personal life oh okay wow lucky you this movie applies to your personal life you know just uh in ways that it would influence any tween
00:00:21
Speaker
i'm sure i'm sure it influenced you in a lot of ways and those are fun facts I'm sorry. I didn't listen. I didn't hear you because I touched my earbud and Thundercats started playing again. Thundercats!
00:00:32
Speaker
It's not take on me. It's just one Thundercat. Just one Thundercat. Yeah. one Thundercat. Anyways, um the listeners would be disappointed if I didn't ah say this to you, Katie.
00:00:45
Speaker
But, um, happy hump day. i don't know if they would. i don't know if we've got... Listen, we have a lot more listeners. Have you noticeed have you noticed this?
00:00:56
Speaker
I haven't. Yeah. i don't know if you can be tracked, but we've had we have a lot more listeners recently for whatever reason. been like upticking. Yeah. um So i thank you for thank you for listening. um I don't know how it happened because I certainly haven't been promoting I've been telling some people. Okay. All right. Well, we've got more listeners. So welcome. More dozens. Yeah.
00:01:23
Speaker
Welcome to our fabulous fun hole. um Oh, if I don't like that.
Humor in SNL's Animorphs Parody
00:01:32
Speaker
This is a hole where Katie and Emma have fun? No, no. Not our fabulous fun hole. Our fabulous fun hole.
00:01:43
Speaker
Sounds like a... ah clown vagina i don't know oh man ki speaking of can we talk about speaking of clown vaginas
00:01:56
Speaker
surely not no but like related body horror um can we talk about the unsolicited snl sketch that i just randomly sent you with no context and you left you so confused yeah Well, I should have known it was SNL because it was not funny. That should have been my first clue.
00:02:16
Speaker
Oh, I thought it was hilarious. Oh, my God. I did not find that amusing at all. i don't know what to tell you. Were you offended as a fan of Animorphs? No. Well, first of all, i I never really watched the TV show, um which I believe this is what it was more accurately like parodying.
00:02:34
Speaker
um But it was mostly just confusing. like, is that Coleman Domingo? Why is Coleman Domingo doing this he was but extremely low budget, talentless um reenactment of Animorphs? I don't understand.
00:02:49
Speaker
ah ah SNL did a sketch made in front of Animorphs called, what was it, like Beastimorphs? Making fun is strong. I'm not really sure what the joke was. Oh, I think the correct term is an homage, too. Yeah, it was an homage where there was lots of farting, and I guess that's supposed to be funny? I don't, I can't, I don't know i don't understand.
00:03:12
Speaker
It's like right up my alley. Because like whenever she like couldn't, um everybody's like turning into their animals and they're turning back into people. And then as one girl is turning back into her person, she's a rabbit. She farts and sneezes and then she gets stuck.
00:03:30
Speaker
So she's like a half frog, half human teen. And it just freaks everybody out except Pullman Domingo who finds it highly attractive.
00:03:42
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Sure. I guess that's a joke. I don't know. Katie was very confused. And then I realized, oh, I didn't tell her why or what this is. No, no. I didn't know what that was.
Film Recommendation: 'Host'
00:03:56
Speaker
um I did watch a really great film that I think that you would like. i It's a horror film. um Have you seen the movie Host? um i Host or is it the South Korean one?
00:04:11
Speaker
No, no, no. I know. there's like an eighty movie ok i should I should probably be more specific because there's 80,000 different movies called hosts. Because there's the Stephanie Meyer, the host. And then there's the Bong Joon-ho movie, which I believe is also the host. No, I don't know. This is this is neither of these.
00:04:28
Speaker
This movie was made during COVID. And it is. Oh, it's the screen life thing. Yes, I haven't seen it now. It's the um a bunch of girls to have a seance over Zoom.
00:04:40
Speaker
And the way that it's framed is so fucking clever. Like it's only an hour long. um Highly recommend it's on Netflix. um Shout out to Netflix. If you want to sponsor our pod.
00:04:53
Speaker
i don't know about that. You can send us your requests at go get your girl at gmail.com. And, ah and so, yeah, so it's a bunch of girls having a seance and it's basically, you In the frame of you during you know how on Zoom, if you don't pay for premium, you only have a certain amount of free time for a free call.
00:05:17
Speaker
And so the end of the movie is because they run out of free time. Which I thought was fucking brilliant. I've heard good things about it, yeah. Yeah, it's really good. I really liked it. um i what It scared me for the first time in a long time. i literally legit screamed.
00:05:34
Speaker
I'm probably not going to watch this anytime soon because unless I can find a friend to watch it with me, because I'll tell you last night, big deal for me. Last night was the first night I slept with the living room light off since Caitlin moved out.
00:05:48
Speaker
Oh my God. Congratulations. That's a big yeah Yeah. I'm very proud of you. I'm very, very proud of you. My suggestion would only make things worse, which was, i was like, Oh, well I'll watch it again with you on zoom.
00:06:02
Speaker
That's way worse.
00:06:09
Speaker
Because that's how it happens, you know? Yeah. yeah ah Yeah. ah But I'm so proud of you. That's that's a big deal. Yeah. Yeah. We'll get there. Yeah.
Living Independently & Career Reflections
00:06:20
Speaker
If people aren't aware, Katie is in her Samantha era. no I'm not. Yeah.
00:06:28
Speaker
i'm I'm never going to be in a Samantha era, I fear. I'm um still a Charlotte, just alone now. Just a ah Charlotte post-Dougal?
00:06:40
Speaker
McDougal? I don't know. but I only watched a couple seasons of that show. But Caitlin's not that dure that... This divorce is not messy. Like that divorce. No, not yet.
00:06:51
Speaker
TBD!
00:06:53
Speaker
tbd No, it's very, it's very, it's very nice. We're, we're friends. It's good. Yes. Yes. Um, so I guess you're just in your Charlotte York, um, post Dougal era.
00:07:05
Speaker
Sure. But you don't have a Upper East Side, like townhouse. I don't have any money. Right. Yeah. That's a big difference between me and all the girls and sex in the city.
00:07:17
Speaker
I mean, ah Carrie didn't have any money. i don't know how she was buying those Manolo Blahniks. No, she clearly did. She clearly had quite a lot of money. Speaking, oh my God, Emma, Manolo Blahniks, famously featured.
00:07:29
Speaker
Famously featured in today's film. That's right, guys. You guessed it. We did it. Full circle. You guessed it. This is Go Get Your Girl. This is the podcast where Emma and Katie- This is your edit. You're going to have to duck yourself this time.
00:07:45
Speaker
I mean, i like being a little loud. um People with the headphones on probably will be alarmed. ah um That's right, guys. You guessed it. This is Go Get Your Girl. This is the podcast where Emma and Katie are just one conjoined twin trying to work, ah trying to make it as a journalist in New York City. my God, it'd be so hard to find clothes in our size. Sample sizes definitely won't fit.
00:08:11
Speaker
No. Two sixes side by side. don't have four arm holes? Yeah. Wait, four arms? Most conjoined twins. Okay, look, we got to stop the conjoined twin thing. We're going to get some angry letters.
00:08:25
Speaker
i'm From conjoined twins? Well, I mean, from, you know, disability activists in general, probably. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Yeah. You know, it's not a laughing matter. But when I imagine Katie and I as a conjoined twin, it is a laughing matter. Sure, sure. Yes, yes, yes. Yes. um And the fact that all I know of conjoined twins is the musical sideshow. Sure.
00:08:47
Speaker
Sure. well those were real people, I think. Yeah, i right. They were real people. Yeah, they were real people. um It's based on true story. A very sad true story, but true story nonetheless.
00:08:58
Speaker
um As most true stories are. Very sad. But ah so, yeah, we're just we're or should Oh, no, I can't say that we're like two personalities in one body.
00:09:10
Speaker
um You don't have to say anything at all. ah Katie's just trying to make it as a journalist in New York City. ah And she's just trying her darndest. And so she's not, though. That's the thing. Well, we'll get to it.
00:09:26
Speaker
get to it And so like most college graduates, she ah it gets through to some sort of HR at Elias Clark, which um is baffling for her to get an entry level job at some sort of magazine that they publicize.
00:09:44
Speaker
And um she gets, she goes and she interviews at Renway Vogue. And she Emma is there.
00:09:58
Speaker
oh you're going to be mayor Miranda Priestly in this? You know it. Emma is there and she's fabulous and she is a boss bitch. And she just like she she definitely needs therapy.
00:10:09
Speaker
But like
Exploring 'The Devil Wears Prada'
00:10:11
Speaker
she's she's gotten to the top a certain way and she needs to stay at the top. And but she sees something in Katie. And so she says. She's going to take a chance.
00:10:21
Speaker
She's going to take a chance on this. Smart fat girl, as she's described. This is the quote from the movie, the smart fat girl. And ah it changes Katie's life. Who's a six, we should say. a size six.
00:10:38
Speaker
Motherfuckers. um And it changes Kitty's life. And there's also a B-plot where it's sort of like an anti-rom-com because the entire time you're rooting for her to break up with her fucking boyfriend. Fucking Nate. God. Fucking Nate. He's the real villain of the story. Everybody knows it. I mean, her friends aren't great. Her other friend isn't he isn't great either. Tracy Toms also sucks in this movie. Yeah. The only one that's good is the guy from Mad Men because he supports her.
00:11:04
Speaker
Yes, he does. It actually, it took me until this watch to realize that he was gay and not Tracy Thompson's boyfriend. Oh, right. Yes. he's He's, again, much like he and um and the Tooch are both implied to be gay, but never stated that they're gay because it was 2006. Because it was 2006.
00:11:24
Speaker
um But that's right, guys. I'm Emma. And I'm Katie. And today we are, of course, talking about The cinematic masterpiece, 2006's The Devil Wears Prada. Yeah. Directed David Frankel, who directs directed Hope Springs, also with Meryl Streep.
00:11:44
Speaker
And the The Big Year, which is about bird watching. And Marley and Me. Oh, fuck. And a bunch of TV. um Much like a lot of the lot of the directors we we we run into on this show, directs a lot of TV. Yeah, they like money.
00:12:00
Speaker
Yeah. Well, I mean, they need it to live. may Yeah. This is ah written by, um I'm apparently never going to look up how to pronounce her name, but Aline, I would say it's, it's is it Aline or A-Line? Sure, it's not A-Line. Aileen.
00:12:16
Speaker
It's A-L-I-N-E.
00:12:20
Speaker
Aileen, is that I would say that? Aileen, yeah. Aileen, yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll go with that. Aileen Brosh McKenna, who wrote 27 Dresses, twenty seven dresses Morning Glory, which we've done on this podcast. 27 Dresses, we've done this podcast. Yep. I don't know how she does it, and we bought a zoo.
00:12:37
Speaker
ah Okay, so we've got two left. Yes. Well, and Devil Wears Prada 2, which by the time this episode comes out, will be in theaters and we will know whether it is a a stunning masterpiece follow-up or um a travesty, ah which everyone wants to forget about. Yes, it could be a I-slop.
00:12:57
Speaker
Yes. Possibility. I'm hoping for the best because it's based on the second book. So... There is a second book. I didn't realize there book. There is. there is a second book. I remember my mom had it and i am in high school I thought, I should read that. And then I didn't.
00:13:12
Speaker
um Well, it's, um yeah, so it's based on a novel by Lauren Weisberger, which was a huge, huge hit, major bestseller. This got turned into a movie fairly quickly. um Lauren Weisberger did work for Vogue, um and the base part of it, her experiences on it, based on the famous editor-in-chief of Vogue, Anna Wintour, who was editor-in-chief of Vogue until last year when she finally stepped down. Yeah, which is weird.
00:13:40
Speaker
Yeah. And now it's Louis Moll's daughter.
00:13:45
Speaker
Chloe Moll. It's just like not not as iconic. I mean, we'll see. She's only like 39 years old. So um yeah who knows? We'll see. We'll see. we we She hasn't even had a September yet.
00:13:58
Speaker
I know. She hasn't had a September issue. We'll see if they keep the September issue. Well, I'm sure i'm sure that itll it'll be there. You'll have to keep the September issue. Vogue is one of the few magazines that I will still buy.
00:14:09
Speaker
If I'm in an airport, I will still buy Vogue. Sure, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's mostly like a lot of these things just kind of make me sad because like i I found this fashion blog, this like contemporary to the movie fashion blog, where it was like detailing what everybody was wearing and what and what the brands were and everything. yeah And she was like linking to sites where you could buy it. And first of all, all the links were dead because this, the website is 20 years old. Of course.
00:14:33
Speaker
But secondly, it's like, everyone has to have a Chanel jacket. A Chanel jacket is the wardrobe of any modern woman's, like um the staple of any modern woman's wardrobe. And like, are they talking about specifically like the tweed jacket, the Chanel tweed jacket, like the suit jacket?
00:14:50
Speaker
She is, well, no, she she was going off. She was basic. She was talking about originally like the school jacket, that Chanel school jacket that um Anne Hathaway wears in this, which is of course not something anyone should wear. but is But she's talking about generally a a Chanel jacket of of event of many kinds. There were a bunch of them that were listed. But yeah, the tweet thing was one of them. If I could afford one, I absolutely Well, that's what I looked. I looked it up and it's, you know, about $8,000. You can get one and like, it just makes me sad. So I, you know. Yeah.
00:15:19
Speaker
Paging through Vogue would, I think, mostly just make me sad. I mean, I've i obviously read Vogue before, but... Yeah. i just I I have loved Vogue and I have loved Teen Vogue since I was a teen.
00:15:31
Speaker
um A lot of it came from the fact that Annie Leibovitz did a fantastic spread with, like, The Wizard of Oz... Yeah, yeah, sure. In fashion, like in the early 2000s, which was like on my wall. Like I like cut it, cut those out of the magazine and like put those pictures on my wall. I thought it was so cool and so fabulous.
00:15:50
Speaker
um And it was, I think she she did like a whole series on like, on fairy tales, actually. Because I remember there was like an Alice in Wonderland one. um There was like a whole bunch. And like, I just, anytime I'm at an airport and I want to buy a magazine, I'll buy a Vogue.
00:16:05
Speaker
I think it's the best bang for your buck because it's like 18,000 pounds. Cause it's like novel. Especially the September. yeah Yeah. Yeah. 75% of which is ads, but you know, gotta pay for it. Yeah. You gotta pay for it.
00:16:19
Speaker
um but i just i love i love the artistic um the photo spreads that they do i think well at least i used to um i haven't bought a vogue in a minute but um but i i think that it's i i love it i love vogue yeah and teen vogue i was in the building where vogue is once in new york shut up i had a is a conda nass building I had a job interview for an agency that um that ah that was in the Condé Nast building and I completely blew it. ah
00:16:53
Speaker
Oh, no. I'm sorry. Well, it's my fault for telling the truth. um like The interview is doing great. I do great in interviews. Everybody loves me because I'm a sweetheart. Yeah, because you're fabulous.
00:17:04
Speaker
It was for reception, it was reception job, which is what I was doing at New new York theater workshop. and And this is what I was trying to, cause they couldn't keep me anymore because they were making the receptionist, the, um, like, um, and the one of and the, marketing assistant, the same job. So like, I definitely couldn't be in the marketing assistant. So they had to hire somebody who was qualified to do that.
00:17:26
Speaker
Um, it was a bad time for New York theater workshop. Um, best theater in the world, by the way, everyone should yeah live in New York. You should go see a play your theater workshop. Um, Yes, but it was in the Cade Nast building. And um yeah, they asked me like what I wanted to do, like career wise. And I told them the truth, which was a mistake because I went back to the workshop and I was talking to like um one of the girls there. And she's like, no, you got to tell him you want to be an agent. I'm like, oh nobody me that.
00:17:53
Speaker
You tell them that the agencies love to hear that you want to be them or you want to be with them or you want to be like them. But I don't want to be an agent. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I realize that now.
00:18:05
Speaker
I was 24 at the time. Yeah. yeah Well, you live and you learn. However, you know, I was, I was, you know, that of course I was thinking about, I was there and I realized that Vogue was there. was like, Oh my God, what if I see, what if, what if I see Anna Wintour go by with book?
00:18:20
Speaker
Right. With her book and her glasses. I mean, how fabulous. um Yeah. No, but, um but that's fantastic. That's fabulous. And that would have been amazing. Had you seen that.
00:18:32
Speaker
Yeah. If I'd worked there, i' I'm sure I would have at some point. Oh, of course. Of course. i I just like want to, you know, every now and again, I'm just like, man, wouldn't it be nice to work at Vogue?
00:18:45
Speaker
And then you watch this movie and you're like. No, it would not. It'd be awful.
00:18:54
Speaker
I mean, we both we've both had like secretary slash assistant jobs. Like, and the the minor like problems we had, can you imagine if like a true sociopath was our boss instead of yeah like, yeah. The like mild sociopaths we had. Like the PTSD that I get sometimes from watching this movie. I'm just like, oh God.
00:19:14
Speaker
Oh God. Cause I had that. I remember, I don't know if you remember the first time you were ever receptionist, you had to take messages over the phone and like having to ask someone to spell their name and they thought they were like too important to do it And they would hang up on you. And I'd be like, I don't, but I, that never happened to me. um mostly because I was dealing with, I was dealing with theater people and i if they were, if they were famous enough, I knew who they were.
00:19:38
Speaker
oh I knew how to spell Kushner. Yes. Yeah. Well, I wasn't. i was dealing with theater people. It was a world you weren't aware of. yeah Exactly. and much like Andy in this film.
00:19:54
Speaker
Yes. um ah So we meet Andy, who is, oh first of all, we get the montage that reminds us that a man directed this movie. Yeah. Look at all his butt.
00:20:06
Speaker
Or perhaps edited, like, you know, the title sequence, you know, that could have been second unit. And, you know, who knows who yeah directed the title sequence. But it's like, it's iconic. It's a bunch of models. It's Katie Tunstall's, um ah what's it called? um suddenly i swear i never dare do Suddenly I See. I See.
00:20:26
Speaker
Suddenly I See, which is, you know, big song of the early 2000s and a bunch of models getting ready juxtaposed with dumpy Anne Hathaway.
00:20:38
Speaker
Who, and my favorite like cutaway is like, they're all like picking out their like fabulous lingerie to wear underneath their clothes. um And she's just like, these high-waisted granny underpants.
00:20:55
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
00:20:59
Speaker
It's, yeah, it's it's a little, it's, yeah, it's it is a little, um it's a little awkward. Like a lot of the the shots of, you know, stockings being pulled up and thongs and stuff. It's a little like, okay, all right. And like, here's only six nuts that I can have for breakfast. And Anne Hathaway like gets a bagel.
00:21:19
Speaker
Yes, an onion bagel. An onion bagel. Here's the thing, i know, okay, so she's 22 years old, but like, she's still like, What is she doing? What is she thinking with this job interview? Like, she is dressed.
00:21:31
Speaker
Yep. Listen. Okay, listen. I am not a high fashion person because I don't have the money. Like, if I had the money, I would have extremely nice clothes. But I don't. So I don't. But if I go on a job interview, I'm going to look a hell of a lot better than Andy does in this. Just that this...
00:21:48
Speaker
ah like shirt like dress shirt with a with a big sweater over it. Nothing fits. She's wearing the ugliest shoes I've ever seen. Yep. They're like Crocs, but orthopedic Crocs.
00:22:00
Speaker
They're like, yeah, they're like if Crocs, they're like, they're like slides, but like they're not, they look like Birken, like almost Birkenstocks with heels. It's bad. They're like what chefs wear in the kitchen so that they don't fall. Well, those are Crocs. Yeah.
00:22:17
Speaker
but these are leather. Leather Crocs. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, i think like in my mindset, she thought she was going into this interview thinking it would be all about like her writing and like why she wants to be a writer or and like how she thinks working at a magazine gonna help her become a writer, regardless of what the magazine is. And she also doesn't look up the magazine and doesn't look up what she would be doing. Like that's just, it's poor planning.
00:22:47
Speaker
I mean, but also this is the days before you could just Google something on your on the subway on your phone. Yeah, but like she knew about the interview for days.
00:22:58
Speaker
She could have Googled Miranda Priestly at home. Nah. She's 22. She's bad at this. Yeah. She appears to live on the border of Chinatown and East Village, which is a, I wrote, great knave, man. 2006, she's at, um ah where was she? She was at Orchard and Broom. Yeah. Just like, it's great. Good for her. I'm glad they can afford it. yeah to um all the All the models are taking cabs and private cars to their job and she's taking the subway. Which can't be any faster. Well, no, it's cheaper though.
00:23:37
Speaker
Oh, you mean the cars. The cars. Yeah. yeah, but it's, you don't have to deal with people on the subway. You don't have to deal with people. I get that. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Whatever. um It's about the luxury of it. um she's done She's done terrible research for this interview. She does not deserve this job under any circumstances. And people keep reminding her of that because she doesn't want it.
00:23:58
Speaker
It's true, yeah. she's yeah she She thinks she's too good for this place. Yeah. um And ah Emily Blunt shows up. Also, like I was just listening to an older episode. um And I remember if I was editing it if I was just listening to it for for no reason. But we talked about how if you had taken in Charles' last name, your name would be Emma Blunt. And that's not a good...
00:24:18
Speaker
name for an actor and i'm like but Emily Blunt is very similar to that and she's a very successful actor so well yeah the idea the idea is is that there's already an Emily Blunt and so it would just be very confusing for people that's true yeah yeah yeah it's like and I just am it's like Emily Stone has to go by yeah exactly exactly and I just like didn't want to deal with that and so I also mostly because I just really love my last name and think my last name's fucking cool It is, yeah. Yeah.
00:24:48
Speaker
Yeah. Fake Italian. Fake Italian, baby! Arrivederci! okay Um, ah she's immediately a star, Emily Blunt in this. Oh my God,
00:25:02
Speaker
This is like early Emily Blunt, right? This is pretty much the first thing she did. Yeah, I read that she, she was auditioning for Aragon and she had had like a million callbacks for Aragon and she didn't get it and she was in the parking lot and one of the producers saw her and asked her to come in for this. That's how she got this. Yes.
00:25:17
Speaker
Yes. And she just brings so much sass and so much nonsense to it. And boy oh boy, does she outshine. um it's Is it Giselle? Giselle, yeah.
00:25:28
Speaker
Yeah. Giselle is there. And Giselle's just there. But Emily- Listen, she wanted to do it. Wanted to do it. Because one thing, and this is Katie's fun fact. Katie's fun fact. Katie's fun fact. Katie's fun fact.
00:25:42
Speaker
It was very difficult for them to get anybody to cooperate with this production when the movie was being made because everybody was afraid of Anna Wintour. Oh. So they asked a bunch of designers. They asked a bunch of famous models to do cameos in this and everybody turned them down except for Valentino, yeah who I guess is successful that doesn't give a fuck.
00:26:04
Speaker
Yep. And Giselle, which same reason, I guess. um And everybody else is made up. Everybody else. Well, they again, the big benefit was supposed to be the Met ah Gala and the me the the Metropolitan Museum was like, absolutely not. Cannot. Yep. You can't do that. You can't call it that. Nope.
00:26:21
Speaker
um And there were a bunch of um there are a bunch of apartment buildings that ah that wouldn't let them film. And they wouldn't shoot a scene in Bryant Park. And Bryant Park wouldn't let them film there either. Because everybody in New York is afraid of Anna Wintour.
00:26:36
Speaker
I mean, she got to where she is for a reason. Apparently, she she didn't hate the movie. Yeah. I mean, she's she's been doing publicity for Devil Wears Prada, too. Yeah, she's she's she's humanized in this much more so than the book, I believe. In the book, she's more of a true villain. Yeah. And in this, she's- Meryl made you like her.
00:26:55
Speaker
Well, I mean, yeah. How do you not? How do you not? um so um So, yeah, Anna Wintour did not go to the premiere, but she did see she did have a, there was a private screening made available for her. But um apparently, yeah, a lot of magazines, all the Condé Nast publications, like, didn't, like, talk about the movie, didn't review the movie, because...
00:27:17
Speaker
I mean, and there's like of her a few characters that are that are made up that I'm just like, oh, my God, is that sort of an homage to such and such? Like, i believe that's true. Yes. Like, oh, my God, what's his name?
00:27:28
Speaker
The like little designer that that's like up and coming. And Daniel Sunyatta's character. Yeah. Yeah, Daniel Sonata's character. I mean, that's got to be like Michael Kors, right? Or Tom Ford. Yeah, somebody like that. Yeah, probably. Somebody like that. That was like up and coming in like the 90s, 2000s that Anna Wintour like ushered into brilliance and then became mainstream.
00:27:50
Speaker
Yeah. um yeah I'm sure that that writer is somebody. i just don't know enough about literary fiction. it is villainous, so he's probably a... um Any writer.
00:28:03
Speaker
Yeah. up Oh, yeah. All writers are villains. Famously. Except for you, Katie. Thank you. Thank you. um Yeah. um ah Emily Blunt shows up and her character's name is Emily as well. And yeah she is wearing Vivian Westwood. Of course she is.
00:28:22
Speaker
Yep. Love Vivian Westwood. And um she kind of gets pre-interviewed by ah Emily until Miranda Priestly walks in and everybody freaks out when Miranda Priestly gets there.
00:28:35
Speaker
um It seems like a horrible place to work. It's a very toxic workplace. I also, this this movie made me think a lot about sort of like pre-COVID and um I don't know why like COVID did such like a revamp of like the modern workplace.
00:28:55
Speaker
But like, and over time, I guess, with social media and stuff, like you can't be that much of a dick boss. Otherwise, you get called out on social media and then you get cancels. I don't know if it... Yeah, I think it's more likely the Me Too movement, which expanded to all all types of mistreatment um yeah being less um less um forgiven. um So it's not more than COVID, but um it was... Just a couple years before that. um Yeah.
00:29:23
Speaker
Because, like, I was watching this, I was like, of course, in 2006, she's, like, a fucking nightmare. And, of course, this would happen. And it would everyone would be totally fine with it. Like, I remember when I started my, like, day job, not to age me, like, 2013, my boss was a fucking asshole. And I was like, how? And you just sort of, like, took it on the chin and you just, like, dealt with it because you were like, I need this paycheck. And...
00:29:43
Speaker
um This isn't going to be my forever job. This is just for now. And I just need to get through this so that I have it on my resume. And I just need to power through. Yeah. I'm sure there are plenty of places where people are are mistreated horribly by egomaniacs. Look at Amazon. Well, sure. Yeah.
00:30:02
Speaker
well sure Um, but yeah, I mean, um there's definitely still, it still happens, but I think there is a little bit more, um you know, the,
00:30:13
Speaker
Getting called out on Twitter is is more of a ah um a fear for these people. yeah Yeah. People, because like people will post about it nowadays. They'll like, they'll video themselves like having a meeting with their toxic boss and they'll post it on Instagram.
00:30:27
Speaker
Like stuff like that happens all the time. So like, like you're monitored everywhere. um So it's less of an acceptable thing and you have to be terrible behind doors. Yeah, that's true. That's true. Yeah. um ah So, Miranda Preciarabas, the very first thing we see is, of course, Prada shoes and a Prada bag. Of course. um As she comes into the building. And we also meet ah the Tooch, Stanley Tucci, who plays Nigel, who is the art director of Runway Magazine.
00:30:57
Speaker
Who's gay but not gay. Well, it's one of those things, right? Apparently in the book, he's like a troubling stereotype. And so they, they toned him down significantly for the movie.
00:31:10
Speaker
Oh, I'm glad they that. They don't, I mean, they imply pretty heavily that he's gay, but they never actually mention it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. um And she gets this little mini interview with ah Miranda where she's like, so you don't care about fashion. you Heather goes, what makes you think I don't care about fashion?
00:31:34
Speaker
That wasn't a question. Yeah. No, no but That wasn't a question. yeah um ah And um she kind of talks back to her and tells her that she is, you know, was the editor of the Northwestern um newspaper. Daily Northwestern.
00:31:51
Speaker
Yeah, had all of these, um you know, she won an award and publications and stuff. And she's like, all right you know, fine, fine. The last two people, Emily chose, and they were idiots. So I'll hire this. She tells her later, I decided to hire the smart fat girl, which. Yes.
00:32:07
Speaker
Again, Anne Hathaway is very thin in this movie. Very thin. Very, very thin. Although according to her, she was a size six, which is, again, thin but not not a sample size, you know, not model thin.
00:32:22
Speaker
Yeah. Not teeny, teeny tiny. Yeah. yeah um But I did read a thing where both um Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway starved themselves throughout the ah shooting of this movie and had to um um console one another constantly with ah like not eating. So, oh dear you know, that's probably not great. No, but I mean, like, also, it's 2006, you're surrounded by models.
00:32:47
Speaker
um You're constantly being, your character's constantly being called fat, even though you're not. um And, or you're talking about, your character's constantly talking about not eating in the case of Emily Blunt.
00:33:01
Speaker
So, of course, it's going to, like, blend into your reality. So, unfortunately, that is the reality of that situation. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, even now, like if I were to be, if I were going to be in a movie or something, I would panic about my weight. Like it's just true.
00:33:18
Speaker
oh absolutely. Absolutely.
00:33:23
Speaker
um So, yeah, the the girls doing their makeup in photo booth on their Macs at the desk now like in 2006, like, that did not work. It just, you the resolution was not strong enough. and to that Because i I tried, I'll tell you. We all did. And you cannot do your makeup in a 2006 photo booth Mac. I wonder if you could now. I haven't tried. i was like, do they still have photo booths?
00:33:49
Speaker
Yeah, there's photo booths. There's still photo booths. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But it was not, it's not the icon that it was. No, no, no, no. um So, yeah, so she comes in there and she has this incredible monologue where she's... yeah So her choice for this movie um is she never really raises her voice above ah a a heavy whisper and is very even keeled and will just say the most horrible things at the same even level, which is just perfect. It's it's beautiful. It works extremely well. It's so terrifying.
00:34:23
Speaker
Yes, it is. Yes. Like every single line just like bites even harder. yeah And they made the choice. She is American, um unlike Anna Wintour. And I believe the character in the in the book maybe was also British. I don't remember. I think so.
00:34:41
Speaker
It sounds book. Well, because they could get away with a lot more in the book. So like yeah it's way more like Vogue. Vogue. yeah yeah i think so i think even in the um like even in the like about the author of the book it says like lauren weisberger worked for vogue in you know such and such yeah and then she wrote this book you know part of the marketing was like this is about anna winter yeah um and uh she goes yeah you have no style or no sense of fashion no no wasn't a question um
00:35:15
Speaker
And then we meet her shitty friends. Her shitty friends and her shitty boyfriend, who we've already kind of seen before, who we have had, we have done one of his films before. He was previously in um Drive Me Crazy, what whatever the fuck his name is. Adrian Grenier is his name.
00:35:34
Speaker
Adrian Grenier, who plays Nate. He was in this, and he was in Drive Me Crazy, and then he was Mr. Entourage, and he's been in nothing since, as far as I'm nowhere aware of. No, no, no. That was it. End of list.
00:35:47
Speaker
And some might say he he is the true villain of this. Which I have so many fucking thoughts in this movie because he is she wants to be a journalist. He wants to be a chef. So he is like working in a teeny tiny little restaurant to work his way up.
00:36:01
Speaker
And she is like, you know, doing reception work at Runway. Yeah, but she has an incredible job. She has such an amazing like first job. Like again, oh they say it over and over. A million girls would kill for this job.
00:36:16
Speaker
Right? Yeah. Cause it actually like pays. Yeah. It pays shit. But at least for 2006, it wasn't an internship. Yeah. Right. Um, the very first thing her boyfriend says to her is you got a job at a fashion magazine. What was it? A phone interview? Like, you dude Right?
00:36:33
Speaker
I mean, and like they do try to make it to where like negging each other is like part of their like love language. But like it just never really comes off. He comes off way too harsh in so many of the things. And he keeps and and that's sort of like crybaby. Yeah, he's a big old crybaby. And like part of like his well, I wouldn't even say his character arc, but like everybody else kind of has an arc except for Tracy Toms and and Nate.
00:36:58
Speaker
um They all like, they just sort of like stay the same. And like, even later on, whenever she's like handing out the free stuff and her friends are so excited about it, he's just like bashing it and making fun of them for like being excited about all of this ridiculously expensive stuff that they are getting for free due to her amazing job.
00:37:16
Speaker
And it's weird because he's a chef and like chefs famously get, have like abusive hours and like horrible bosses. That's what I was thinking the whole time. And like, it's really. Aren't you going the same thing, dude?
00:37:30
Speaker
It's so funny because there's so much like good writing in this. Like all the Miranda stuff is written really well. All the Emily stuff is written really well. There's some great monologues in this. There's some good writing in this movie, but all the stuff with her friends is like, it's poorly written. Like some of the banter is bad.
00:37:47
Speaker
um It's awkward. um It's yeah. Yeah. How do these people know each other? How do they know each other? We have Tracy Toms who said she's known her for 16 years. So I guess they were little kids. Um, and then there's Rich Sommer who is the Harry Crane, the worst character on Mad Men.
00:38:06
Speaker
Um, okay. a Uh, and he is the, yeah, he's the, he knows about fashion and he, he, he understands. He's like, Oh, okay.
00:38:19
Speaker
It's again, it's never, it's implied just because he likes fashion, I suppose. well And then later at the art thing, she's like, there's someone I want you to meet. She doesn't say there's a girl i want you to meet or there's a guy I want you to meet. She just says someone. There's someone I want you to meet. And his response is like, um you're here for something and now I'm here for sex or something like that. yeah yeah um And that's that was the moment that I was like, oh, I've seen this movie on repeat since 2006.
00:38:47
Speaker
and Yeah, I couldn't tell you how many times I've seen this movie. Yeah. This was the first time I realized that he was not Tracy Toms' boyfriend. Oh, wow. Oh, yeah. But also, like, they're barely in it. And there's barely any character development with any of them that, like, if you blink, you miss it sort of situation. i just assumed that they were couple friends.
00:39:09
Speaker
No. This whole time. Yeah. She, we've got Nigel tells her that she needs to fix her wardrobe. And she's like, oh, Miranda hired me. She knows what I look like. And he goes, do you?
00:39:24
Speaker
Right? And then Miranda constantly does this thing wherever she walks in and like she is she like she goes, and Emily, because she calls her Emily for the first like third of the movie because she refuses yeah to learn her name. um And she'll just like look at her shoes and just silently intimidate Anne Hathaway. The shoes are really bad. They're bad.
00:39:46
Speaker
yeah It's funny because I wrote in the notes, hideous shoes, and then like 10 seconds later, Emily Blunt says, what do you have a hideous skirt convention you're late for or something?
Fashion's Cultural Impact
00:39:56
Speaker
The skirt's bad, too. Yeah, the whole outfit's bad. It's real bad, yeah. um And so she gets sent to the garment district to get skirts from Calvin Klein and 25 scarves from Hermes, which, yep my God, would be... a lot of money. A lot of money. A lot of money. I don't know how much. lot of fucking money. An Hermes scarf is what, like $250, probably? Minimum?
00:40:22
Speaker
Oh, minimum. like that Let's see how much an Hermes scarf is. I mean, their famous, the like Birkin bag is $12,000. Oh, well, Birkins are a whole different thing. Yeah, $260,000 up to $600,000 depending.
00:40:37
Speaker
Oh, okay. That's not too bad. Maybe I can buy myself an Hermes scarf. I would love to have an Hermes scarf. Right? ah um So would love to have an Hermes anything. I just want the orange bag, Emma. I i mean, I get it. I get it too. I used to work ah like across the street from Hermes when I worked at Beholden and I would walk past and there would like always be people going in and out and like, who the fuck is offering Hermes?
00:41:03
Speaker
can afford this shit with a big orange bag? Like, what you got in there? was just like, what do you ah yeah who are you Yeah.
00:41:14
Speaker
This sent me on a list of like, I was looking at like Net-A-Porter and some other stuff. It was like, like it reminded me like how much I wanted a Burberry trench coat. Like when I was younger. i still want a Burberry trench coat.
00:41:26
Speaker
Me too. Yeah. It's affordable. Like, I mean, affordable is strong, but like you, you could buy one with like Farna or something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. um it's about, about $1,500. Yeah.
00:41:39
Speaker
Yeah. And they last forever. They last for life. course. Oh, that's the thing about all of this stuff. Yeah. Is that they're, so it's such well-made. And then on top of that, you've got at least the like really good designers are really well-made. And, um, and then you have the name recognition on top of that.
00:41:58
Speaker
So that just inflates the price. If you're not like, you know, one of these people in this movie, you can wear it forever. As opposed to like, if you're super rich, you can't wear it past the season, obviously. Yeah.
00:42:10
Speaker
Yeah. Which is why you can always go to a consignment shop or a thrift store in the richest part of your state. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, no, you can't anymore. I mean, you could 2006, but now the rich people sell them on Depop for, you know, half price and... you know I mean, some of those old people don't know Depop.
00:42:33
Speaker
They don't know Depop. What a world. i'll tell you that worlds I'll tell you Goodwill in Westport, Connecticut. Okay. I got pair of good American jeans for $12. Okay.
00:42:46
Speaker
okay Well, listen, when I come to visit you, that we have to do that then. Yes, we'll go to all the like the um resale stores in the rich parts of town. And then like estate sales, too.
00:42:58
Speaker
Like you can get some pretty great I've been to estate sale. Yeah. Oh, my God. They're fabulous. My parents love estate sales, especially my dad. He's a huge estate sale like nerd.
00:43:09
Speaker
And he he works while he volunteers at the Lake Forest um thrift store, Forest and Found on Fridays um oh because he was the one that taught me that if you want something really nice, but don't want to pay for it, go to the rich part of town and go to their thrift store.
00:43:26
Speaker
That that is how you get things. yeah And like he loves to tell me he got. I should go to like a Winnetka Goodwill or something. Go to a Winnetka Goodwill. Go to Forest and Found. Forest and Found has some great deals.
00:43:37
Speaker
I'll go on Friday and see your dad. Yeah. And he'll give you his his like 50% off. Oh my God. oh god My favorite thing is that whenever we were living with my parents, we would go there all the time. And because Charlie loves Forrest about. um And ah the they constantly were like, oh, you're John's daughter. You know, you're your dad, your dad, he's a real label for. He loves the names. Wow.
00:44:07
Speaker
And I was like, yes, he does. He'll tell me how expensive something retails for and how much paid for it. um I appreciate that. i i'm not I'm not a label whore. I would like to have some some nice things. I would like to own some haute couture, but yeah I'm not. I'm certainly not a. I don't care about the label. Most of my wardrobe comes from Quince at this point. so I mean, but that's pretty good. My whole thing as I've gotten. Quince is great. Quince, please advertise Anna. We love Quince. We love quince here.
00:44:41
Speaker
um Highly recommend quince. But like one of the reasons I really like quince is because like, this is this isn't an ad, but like the more and more that I work in fashion, ah the longer I work in fashion, the more and more that you learn that like fast fashion is such like a waste of money and you just, yeah you need stuff that's made well and nothing's made well these days. Like you have to like- even made well.
00:45:08
Speaker
Not even Madewell. You need stuff that's like Sick burn on Madewell. Right. Quality made stuff. If you want to like. have some Madewell jeans. They're perfectly fine. That was just an easy pun.
00:45:20
Speaker
Madewell's fine. um But yeah, like that's the whole thing. And that's why a lot of these like people like brands have like gotten popular. But even as you get like go on and on and on, am a lot of sort of like cool name brands um have, you know, been cutting costs and stuff and their stuff has been made shittier and shittier.
00:45:43
Speaker
Yeah. And that's capitalism, baby. Capitalism. It comes for us all. Capitalism corner.
00:45:54
Speaker
Giselle shows up. She plays Emily's friend. She has a couple of lines. She has some cunty glasses. She does. She does have some cunty little glasses. um ah So does Emily. That's true.
00:46:07
Speaker
We would spend all day if we went over every outfit in this. Exactly. ah this It influenced so much of my personal style. yeah so no Good for you. Wow. Boy, oh boy.
00:46:18
Speaker
If you find a vibe, go with it. That was what I got from the, um what, what is, is it, which Madonna song is it? that That's the fabulous montage. Is it Vogue? Vogue. It's Vogue, yeah.
00:46:31
Speaker
The Vogue montage. Oh God, yeah. on Where she, she alternates between something that looks incredible and something that looks insane. Yes. Yes. And everything is like themed. And Charlie turned to me he goes, how would she get it affording all of these clothes? I was like, just she's probably just wearing She's getting them from samples. That's what he says. Like later on, he's like, who put this together for you? Like she's not paying for any of this. Yeah. Yeah.
00:46:56
Speaker
Yeah. She's ah utilizing what ah resources she has at work. But first she has to make Miranda mad. Well, she's got she she squeezes her giant size 6 frame into these samples. Like something that I personally could never do in a million years, unfortunately.
00:47:17
Speaker
Because maybe maybe Vogue has some size 6 samples, but they don't they don't got size 10 to sometimes 12 samples, I'll tell you. I mean, they probably do now. Maybe, maybe they do now. You're right. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good point. That is something that has changed. There has been a lot more inclusive body types in high fashion modeling since this movie came out for sure. Yeah. Which is fabulous. And I think that that's one of the things that they're going to utilize in the new movie.
00:47:44
Speaker
Oh, that makes sense. yeah Yeah. Is it so hard to find a lovely slender female paratrooper? Am I shooting for the stars here? Yep. Right. She is constantly talking about how the models she has sent for her editorial shoots are all too fat. Yeah. Which again, I'm sure is taken directly from the horse's mouth.
00:48:04
Speaker
Probably. yeah Probably. um But we get the infamous belt scene. cerulean top monologue is what I wrote. Cerulean top monologue.
00:48:16
Speaker
But, um Emily has to go pee. And so Miranda or Miranda. Um, so, um, Andy has to, ah man the desk and she gets called in to take notes and, um, they're putting together like a run through, um which is, there's a lot of like things for the magazine that they explain and stuff. And it you, you can tell that it's a plot that it's,
00:48:41
Speaker
Probably true, but also a plot device that she was so green to the fashion industry because they're like, here, let me explain this to you. XYZ, here's exposition, blah, blah, blah, blah. This the book is, blah, blah, blah, blah. blah um And so she has to take notes and... ah Miranda is like saying how much she hates everything that they pulled for the run through. And Stanley Tucci pulls out this fabulous or no, way she pulls out this. She pulls out this fabulous like coral tutu dress number and he turns to Stanley Tucci and he's like, oh, give me a tutu saloon moment any day. but he needs the right accessories.
00:49:18
Speaker
And so then ah she goes, it needs a belt. And then one of the little like minions brings two belts and she goes, I know it's so difficult because they're both so different. And, and Hathaway, like the idiot that she is verbally laughs.
00:49:35
Speaker
Yeah. They are two um ah very similar belts with two very different buckles. They are very different belts. Yes. Very different. um The buckles are very different. Yes. The buckles are very different. It would be ridiculous for her to laugh at that statement in real life. In reality, she probably would be fired. But yes she does a lot of things that would probably get her fired that don't in this movie. Oh, so many times in this movie. So many times.
00:50:02
Speaker
ah And Miranda like goes, was something funny? And she goes, well, you know, I'm just still all learning about all this stuff. they Those look exactly the same to me. And then Miranda goes on her fabulous Cerulean sweater monologue talking about how the fact of the matter is, is that like,
00:50:19
Speaker
You might think that you don't care about fashion, but like you still have to put something on your body. And a lot of times things that trickle down, trickle from the top. And the people that make those decisions are the people that she's working for.
00:50:30
Speaker
Yeah. And whenever you, that whatever casual corner hell you fished that out of a bargain bin. Yep. Yep. And then it cuts to a grilled cheese sizzling. It's just perfect. Like ah yeah it's right. um It's yeah. Yeah.
00:50:48
Speaker
it's ah It's a good match cutting um where Adrienne Grenier is burning the fuck out of her grilled cheese. Yeah, it is way too grilled. Isn't he wanting to be a chef or something? Yeah, exactly. and he may makes it with Jarlsberg and he's very particular about saying that it's Jarlsberg. He's like, there's eight dollars worth of Jarlsberg in there.
00:51:07
Speaker
Listen, I love Jarlsberg. Jarlsberg is great. Like a Jarlsberg dip, some like little bagel crisps. Incredible. um ah And I said, he's killing that sandwich. He's bad at everything. um He's bad at everything.
00:51:21
Speaker
She goes to see her dad. Her dad gives her a check. They're going to go see Chicago. But instead, Miranda is stranded in Miami because there's a hurricane. And she's like, get me a plane out of here. And she's like, it's not possible. There's a hurricane.
00:51:35
Speaker
Yep, and she's like, it's just a little drizzle. Yeah, and it cuts to like the palm trees swinging in the background. She's like, give me Donatella's jet. Give me Donatella's jet. Call everyone who has a private jet.
00:51:48
Speaker
ah She can't get her out of Miami and she misses her daughter's recital and she's mad at Andy because she's an unreasonable hag. Yep, because she couldn't do the impossible. Yeah, so she's um she's a little sidekick also, I wanted to point out. Yes, the phones in this movie. Very 2006. Yeah. And Tucci has a razor.
00:52:10
Speaker
Mm hmm. Yep. And this is when she gives her another horrible mom. This is when she says she was going to hire the smart fat girl. And she goes to Stanley Tucci crying. And it's that very lovely kind of dynamic, which I love, which I love. it shows up in a lot of movies where it's like someone is upset and they go to see someone and treat them like they're being nice, but the person is not nice.
00:52:33
Speaker
um you know what i mean like it's yep it it's very much like reminds me of like boo and mike wazowski in um monsters inc where she yeah she treats him like she like he's a loving figure to her but he's mean to her it's very much like her and stanley tucci in this at least at first she she's the only one that would like talk to her at first yes yes exactly her stuff and so she's like well he's he friend and Hello friend shaped thing. Be my friend. he keeps me But he keeps being mean to her throughout it, which is very, it's a, it's a great dynamic. Yeah. It's really great. um
00:53:07
Speaker
And he tells her, you know, um you're not trying like yeah you, these people, you know, want their way to their whole lives to work here. Everybody's so excited to work here. And you only deign to work here. yeah You think you're too good for this place and you're not actually trying.
00:53:23
Speaker
Yep. um And then he takes her to the samples. Yeah. And then he gives her a Cinderella makeover. And it's great. You're in desperate need of Chanel. Desperate need of Chanel. He's like, I don't know what what will fit you. All of these are a size two or four. And he hands her a poncho. And she goes, a poncho. And she goes, you will. He says, you will take what I give you and you will wear it. It's great. um He says, we have to. You better hurry because we have to get to the beauty department. And God knows how long that'll take.
00:53:49
Speaker
Right? Right? Goodness. And then she walks in with, ah are those the, yeah, the Chanel boots? It's a Chanel, like, um ah school jacket and ah Chanel thigh high boots. she and they And they cut her hair and gave her actual bangs and she looks amazing. Yep.
00:54:07
Speaker
And she looks amazing. She looks fantastic because it didn't take that much to, like, spruce off it spruce up Anne Hathaway. This is the second movie in a row with Anne Hathaway we've watched where she gets a makeover partway through. yeah Right?
00:54:19
Speaker
And it's like, you didn't have to do that much work to make her beautiful because she's Anne fucking Hathaway. One of the most beautiful women in the world. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
00:54:30
Speaker
um And so you get that beautiful montage. And then she's like waiting for Nate after he gets off work. And he does a double take. And he's like, she's like, what do you think? And he goes, oh, oh well, we have to get out of here because we have to get out of here before my girlfriend sees. And he's all turned on to the new look.
00:54:50
Speaker
And she it's like, that's still kind of shitty thing to say, man. Like, what's right? This guy sucks in every scene. Like even in the scenes where he's supposed to be nice, yeah like he sucks. Why can't you just say she looks really nice?
00:55:01
Speaker
And even when he says she looks really nice, he uses it as an insult. Yeah. That's the thing at the end when he says you look pretty, like that's the meanest thing he said to her. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. um ah like Let's talk about the the accessories and the jewelry in this movie because it's insane.
00:55:16
Speaker
Very 2006. But boy, did I want those Chanel like drop necklaces. Oh my God. With the little charms all over it. Yes. but Everybody is wearing, a you know, the the famous, like, I don't know if it was Chanel who originally said this, but like the famous like fashion advice, which like before you leave, take off one accessory. That was Chanel. In this movie, everybody put on accessories before they left. Like everyone's wearing big earrings, big rings, big necklaces all together.
00:55:44
Speaker
Yep. yup Hats. boots. Yeah, they look like, they look like they're like, a the metal detector suddenly uh or ah um a magnet went off on them and all the jewelry just clung to them yes um it's it's ridiculous yeah yeah absolutely insane obviously wardrobe was just like this is a movie about fashion give them more things more fashion yes it was quantity quantity over quality on the accessories yeah but This is when she meets her shitty friends and gives them gifts, one of which is Mason Pearson hairbrush, which we talked about in a previous episode.
Character Dynamics in 'The Devil Wears Prada'
00:56:21
Speaker

00:56:22
Speaker
Because it's like, what, $650? um It's something like that. i don't remember what movie we were watching where someone was like, it's a $5,000 hairbrush, and I wanted to see what the most expensive hairbrush. Oh, yeah, yeah, what the most expensive hairbrush actually was, and it's Mason Pearson. it's in the It's in the $500 range for sure. It's made with horse hair, and I want it.

Speaker
Yeah, yeah. um ah And he's such a dick to her. This is when they steal her phone. Yeah, when they steal her phone and like almost sabotage her fucking job after she has given them gifts from said job.
00:56:55
Speaker
Like, what the hell? She gives Lily a ah fucking Marc Jacobs bag. That has that like, it's pulled out everywhere. Yeah, and they're still like, you suck and you're stupid because your job isn't as isn't as important as our jobs. I'm like, I'm sorry, you don't take her seriously as a person. Like, it's that's exactly what it is.
00:57:14
Speaker
Yeah, they suck. It's really shitty, yeah. um And this is when he meet Daniel Sunyatta, who has a name, presumably, but I didn't write it down. um um Yeah. He's the up and coming designer. Christian.
00:57:27
Speaker
No, no, that's Simon Baker. Oh, sorry. Yeah. The designer is something like, yeah. It's something along the lines of Tom Ford. It's like two one-syllable names. Yeah, James Holt.
00:57:38
Speaker
Yeah, James Holt. Yeah. James Holt. This is when they're doing the preview and she doesn't like any of, oh no, he gives her a sketch. um She goes to meet him at a bar and she he gives her a sketch. And this is when she meets Simon Baker, um ah who's a journalist who she knows and he does not stop flirting with her the whole day. Yep.
00:57:59
Speaker
Yep. And you know that he's a sucky man, whore human because they give him a teeny tiny skinny scarf. Yeah, exactly. That he has draped over one shoulder and you're like, this guy sucks. Yeah.
00:58:10
Speaker
Yeah, he sucks. um ah and But he's like, i can introduce you to some editors and some um some magazine people. If you're a writer, send me your stuff. Yep. And this is when she has to deliver the book ah to Miranda's apartment. And she's an idiot and goes upstairs and overhears her and her husband arguing. So the next day, Miranda punishes her by telling her to get book seven of Harry Potter.
00:58:38
Speaker
Which has not been released yet. Which is not, which will not be released for like a year. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And she's like, well, that's impossible. And she goes, well, get it done. And so she just goes and cause she's finally doing, and Andy is finally doing good at her job. And then that little fuck up happens because of Miranda's nightmare of children, nightmare children, her shining twins. Yeah. Her shining twins. Yeah. And so then she's like trying to get this manuscript. She like pulls everything she can.
00:59:09
Speaker
And Miranda also like, is just like, and I want my steak here in 15 minutes. And she's just giving her like this list of like possible tasks. And then she gets back with the steak um after at getting Smith and Walensky to open early and make her a steak.
00:59:24
Speaker
um And Miranda's like, I don't need, what is this? I don't want that. I'm going to lunch with so-and-so. And if, um oh, and- andrea Andrea, if that book is not here when I get back, don't come back.
00:59:40
Speaker
Essentially is what she thinks. And this is when Emily said tells her, um listen, if you get fired, that might screw up Paris for me. And if that happens, I'll search every blimpies in the tri-state area until I track you down.
00:59:55
Speaker
it's So good. It's very funny. i a So she has to track down the Harry Potter book. And so she calls her good friend, Simon Baker, who she met the night before. Yep.
01:00:06
Speaker
Christian. and i And he's like, no, that's impossible. I can't do it. And so she's like, well, I guess I'm fucked. And so then she calls Nate. She's like, well, I'm going to quit. I'm going to quit. Why, why, why not beat her to the punch? She's going to fire me anyways. I'm going to quit. And then two seconds later, Christian calls back and he's like, I'm a genius.
01:00:27
Speaker
I did it. I got it. And she's just like, she starts to go on this monologue about how she was going to quit and it was going to change her life. and he goes, oh, do you want this or not, girl? Meet me at the bar for St. Regis.
01:00:39
Speaker
This guy sucks, but I still like him more than fucking Adrian Pernier in this movie. Oh, 1000%. And this guy calls her baby. Yeah.
01:00:49
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. um This is when she says to Emily, wish me luck. And Emily goes, no, shant. Shant.
01:00:58
Speaker
um And she, she accomplishes it and she surprises Miranda yeah with. ah She gags her completely. Yeah. She um comes back with the Starbucks and i a third manuscript copy because she's already gotten two made for the twins bound and on the train to grandma's and third one just to she says just in case, but, you know, it's just to like push it in Miranda's face.
01:01:23
Speaker
Did it. yeah And big time ah and she's like doing great at her job. um And then Emily gets the flu. um Yeah, we have a scene real quick. I just wanted to mention um ah George C. Wolfe shows up, who also showed up in Garden State, who is an extremely accomplished playwright and theater director. He was the artistic director of the public for many years. For whatever reason, he has two lines in this movie.
01:01:49
Speaker
He was also in Garden State. Wait, who this this He's in the meeting that they have where he's the guy sitting next to her. He has just a couple of lines where they're pitching her he the with glasses?
01:02:01
Speaker
Yes. The one that's like, thought the florals, because she goes, you know, I was thinking florals, and she's like, florals for spring, how groundbreaking. And he goes, well, we thought that could, you know, do it in an industrial setting, you know, the little contrast she gives. And she's like, yeah. That does sound like pretty amateurish for Vogue, yeah. I mean, runway.
01:02:21
Speaker
um vogue but also he has four acting credits um he's directed movies um he's got a lot of other but four times has he does he have acting credits and imdb and we've watched two of them so far yeah well the other two movies are fresh fresh kills an indie movie from the 90s which i have never seen and i can't imagine would be appropriate for this this uh this show and the other one is uh ramona and beezus
01:02:49
Speaker
Maybe if we ever do a kid-friendly month. Like, clearly, he must just he just must have had friends work on these four movies, and that's the only reason why he's in them. I i can't imagine why, yeah. Either that, or he really had a beef with Anna Wintour, and he heard this movie was being made, he like, me in the fucking movie.
01:03:08
Speaker
Maybe. Put me in the movie. um ah adrian grenier continues to be the worst emily is sick and is going and so they need andy to come to the benefit which is supposed to be the mat ball yep um she's supposed to go to nate's birthday yeah and mrs's birthday because he's a baby birthday and she's having little birthday party but she's got a work thing as if that's never happened in the history of any relationship ever birth exactly um ah Yeah, she's going to the fucking Met Ball on your birthday. Sorry, dude. Like, try not to be born in May next time. I don't know what to tell you.
01:03:45
Speaker
Right? Also, like, yeah, it's your birthday party. They didn't say it was his actual birthday. Maybe, like, maybe she can, like, make it up to him in a different way. I don't know. By giving him a blowjob.
01:03:58
Speaker
Yeah. um Simon Baker is at the, oh, she she covers for Emily because Emily cant is sick and can't remember somebody's name before he gets there, but Andy does. And this is when ah um Miranda decides that Emily is, Emily got the flu and now is no longer the the beloved ah assistant, which is crazy. Right. Well, and Andy just keeps like, you know, being really good at her job.
01:04:27
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. um Simon Baker is there and flirts with her and says that she should get rid of her stupid boyfriend who looks down on her. And she's like, no I have to go to him. Yeah. And I'm like, that's stupid because he also was just like, I have a lot of um I read your stuff. I mean, I didn't read everything, but um it was like pretty solid stuff.
01:04:45
Speaker
And I got some like editor people I'd love for you to meet in there. um Emma would have dropped everything and gone in there for a drink and like fucking networked the shit out of that.
01:04:55
Speaker
Like, yeah, that's such a good opportunity, Andy. What is wrong with you? She picks her dumb ass boyfriend repeatedly in this movie. She picks her dumb ass boyfriend. Repeatedly. Because that's what this movie, this movie is really about. When we get down to like the end of it, it's like the thing that really like separates her is that, you know, she doesn't want to become Miranda who has her, her professional life take over her personal life, which is fine if you want that. But like him, girl, yeah this guy, it's not like her boyfriend is amazing.
01:05:29
Speaker
I mean, why couldn't they make him amazing? Why did he have to suck so bad? Yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's it's it's incomprehensible. Yeah. Well, it was 2006, so this was all acceptable for men to do. Yeah, she wears a ridiculous outfit um ah in this next scene with a little hat, and i hate it so much. Yes. Oh, when she delivers the book again, and Miranda's like, It's Chanel. This is when she's wearing that necklace with the charms. And it's so good.
01:05:58
Speaker
and she's just And Miranda's like, ah you should come. You are going to come to Paris. Emily is not capable. Andrea, you are coming to Paris. And she's like, i don't think I can do that. That would literally kill Emily. No.
01:06:11
Speaker
And she goes, well, come to Paris or don't come to work. Yeah. and And you get to tell her, by the way, tell ah she tell her she's no longer invited to Paris. Yeah. And yeah she's on the phone with her when she's picking up a bunch of Hermes scarves and she gets hit by a taxi cab breaks her leg.
01:06:27
Speaker
Yeah, and I'm like, that's so much money that just went flying into the air. So much money. Oh my god, I would have been snatching them. Right? i was like, how are there not people like just snatching these scarves left and right?
01:06:39
Speaker
Like, she's fine. like She's fine. it' It's okay. like There's... Right.
Andy & Personal Relationships
01:06:44
Speaker
And then we get the end this scene Andy's visiting her in the hospital and she's just like, I don't understand. You know, a thing that really kills me is that you didn't want this job.
01:06:52
Speaker
You didn't want this. And, um, and also you get to go to Paris and all the clothes you get to wear, all the people you get to meet, all of these fabulous things. And you eat carbs.
01:07:04
Speaker
Yes, exactly. As she starts eating chocolate pudding and, um, ah French fries or something. Yeah, it's a croissant. Yeah, yeah, yeah. um And ah yeah, so um there's Simon Baker turning up again, um telling her he's going to be in Paris. And this is when, oh, it's at Tracy Tom's art show. And he tells her, hey, you should come to my hotel in Paris. And she's like, I can't do that. I'll be working. And he kisses her on the cheek. And Tracy Tom's sees him kiss her on the cheek. And she treats Anne Hathaway like She was all over him. It's like, like she was on the floor giving him a blowjob in the back. Yes, exactly.
01:07:46
Speaker
yes Yes. She got kissed on the cheek by a fucking colleague. He could be gay. We don't know. hundred percent. Or like, you know, sometimes some people kiss people on the cheeks. Like it's fine. would be French.
01:08:01
Speaker
And also, it should be it could be it could be romantic and unwanted and one-sided, but she doesn't give Anne Hathaway a second to explain anything. Yeah, just blows up on her.
01:08:12
Speaker
Blows up on her. She's such a fucking bitch. like said She's like, also the Andy I knew was only in love with one guy, and that was Nate. Your great boyfriend, Nate. The only black person in this movie, also, we should say, which problematic.
01:08:27
Speaker
Yeah. um It's, um well, I mean, George C. Wolfe is black, but like I said, he has two lines. Yeah, I was gonna say, well, there's George C. Wolfe, but guess that doesn't really count. Yeah. um ah And ah yeah, he doesn't respect her. That is
Miranda's Vulnerabilities
01:08:42
Speaker
the main thing about this. He has no respect for her or her choices or like doesn't understand anything that she's doing, takes no energy to understand it or to, to like, like, and again, he's a fucking chef. Like yeah one of the most abusive thing.
01:09:02
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. has anyone seen the bear? Exactly. Yeah. Jesus. Come out yet. Come on. Like freaking Jeremy Allen White gets mentally tormented by what's his fuck from Community.
01:09:24
Speaker
and he's got trauma. name um oh my God. What's his name? The main guy from Community is his. the Joel McHale. Joel McHale is the Michelin star chef who like abused him in New York.
01:09:37
Speaker
Oh, that's right. I forgot about that. Yeah. Very briefly in like some like flashback scenes. But, you know, Dermiel, you know, Carney can't ah give up chef-in.
01:09:49
Speaker
So. Yeah. Can't give up chef-in. Can't give up chef-in. Yeah. So we go to Paris um and then we have a a cameo with Valentino, RIP. Valentino. Just died a few months ago.
01:10:03
Speaker
RIP Valentino. But not just Valentino, because this is the first of Emma's Fun Facts, Emma's Fun Facts. We also get another made-for-TV cameo as part of a promotion.
01:10:16
Speaker
Similar. This is the second Anne Hathaway movie that had one. The last one was the Disney Channel for... um you know, girl on the street from the Disney channel was in the scene with Andy Moore. And she's clapping. ah And this one, it was a news reporter from E!
01:10:32
Speaker
And I remember watching the behind the scenes segment on um the like E! Entertainment Tonight thing that he was on. And um being like, and then I got two lines in the movie. And he he's the reporter that goes, so Miranda, tell us, how do you think French fashion is different from American fashion? And that's it. Right. Right.
01:10:55
Speaker
Yeah. That's nice. Yeah. That was a promotional cameo. Got to do it. Yeah. You got to do it. You got to get the name of the movie out there somehow. um
Realizations & Career Decisions
01:11:04
Speaker
ah And ah she this is when she runs into Miranda's ah apartment and Miranda has no makeup on and she's been crying and she tells her she's getting a divorce.
01:11:17
Speaker
yeah And she wants to replace her soon to be ex-husband spot at her table with who else? snoopog Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg. That's right. um She's like, this is when she she kind of opens up to her and she's like, you the dragon lady drives another man drives away another man. Like I spent my whole life on my career and I just feel bad for her.
01:11:40
Speaker
For the twins having to, you know, deal with all of the publicity and everything. Yeah. Cause it does suck. And was like, i I don't care what they write about me. I don't care what stories come out about me. It's, it's what it's going to do to the twins. It's the damage it's going to do to my girls.
01:11:54
Speaker
And it's just like, okay. Okay. She's got And this is like Anne Hathaway is like feeling that for one thing, but also like realizing she doesn't want to be her. She doesn't want to end up like this. And this is not the right place for her to work. um Part of it. And then the second shoe is going to drop in a minute.
01:12:14
Speaker
Yeah. But um Nigel comes in and tells her he's got. Oh, yes, yes. And he's like, hey, we should fuck. And she's like, OK, fine. Yeah. She's like, OK, I'm. Oh, they break up. We should say she and. um Yeah, break up because he sucks.
01:12:29
Speaker
Because he sucks. Because she, I don't remember what, whatever she did. It wasn't the birthday. Was it the birthday? No. No, it's more, they get into another fight. They get into another stupid good fight and he's a stupid idiot. It doesn't matter. Anyways, they break up and she goes off to Paris.
01:12:44
Speaker
um Oh yeah. Cause she's just like, well, maybe this is good for us because um I'm going off to Paris. So maybe we just need some time away from each other. um And Christian's like, hey, you want to go to dinner? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. And she's like, yeah, um I'm busy right now, but call me. And he's like, cool. Okay, bye.
01:13:01
Speaker
And then Stanley Tucci comes into her hotel room um asking for um Miranda's itinerary for the next day and then he's just like and we need to celebrate well and this is the scene where he's just like who put this together for you and she's like oh I did it myself and he's like well the tot has become the teacher
01:13:22
Speaker
And she's like, oh, and I'm down to a size four. And he's like, oh, incredible. Incredible. And it's because she's been so stressed and busy at work. She can't eat, um which is not a way to lose weight.
01:13:33
Speaker
But healthfully. And i say it'll definitely it is a way to lose weight, but it's not good for you. It's not good for you. And um and then he goes, well, let's let's pop some champagne. Let's toast to the you know to the job that a million little girls wanted all over the world and she goes um she says something about how she she already has a job and he goes no not you hun i'm talking about me and she's good do tell and he's like i'm going to be the new president of operations for um oh god ah that name is just so easy to forget james i wrote it down this time okay
01:14:14
Speaker
I was like in one ear and out the other for James Holt, new line, which is, ah just got, um, some money investment and it's going global bags, fragrances, the works department stores, and I'm going to be in charge.
01:14:29
Speaker
And, um, Andy at first is just like, uh, does Miranda know? And he goes, Oh yeah, no, no, no. She put me up for this. Like, I mean, can you imagine like that? I would be, I would be a, dead man walking um and yeah he's just like so excited he's like she's gonna make the announcement at the luncheon tomorrow when we're celebrating james halt and um and and she's like yay hooray and then andy goes out to eat with christian and they're having this fabulous time and she's like defending miranda which she makes some solid points because you's just like admit it she's terrible she's the worst she's the worst boss you've ever had and andy makes a really great point which is
01:15:08
Speaker
um She is difficult to work for. However, if she was a man, no one would be saying any of these things about her. They would just tell her how great she is at her job, which essentially is what the entire song The Man by Taylor Swift is about.
01:15:22
Speaker
That's true. That's true. that song is about Miranda Priestly. ah Um, yeah, and it is something that this whole movie is kind of, um, kind of about, uh, in a kind of in spite of itself, um, to a certain degree, because it's very true. Like none of this behavior would be aberrant if she were a man. It's just because she's a woman that it's notable.
01:15:47
Speaker
Um, because you expect men to behave this way and, um, ah misogynist worldview that, um, all of America has, uh, unfortunately like prevents that from being acceptable.
01:16:00
Speaker
Right. Um, hence's why weve and, and probably never will. Um, ah she, uh, so she, they fuck and the next morning, um she discovers a ah runway mock-up and she's like, hey, what the fuck is this?
01:16:20
Speaker
Yeah. He's like, oh, yeah, we're... yeah If Jacqueline, the editor-in-chief of French Vogue... Foyer. Foyer were to run Runway Magazine, or sorry, the head of Runway France.
01:16:35
Speaker
French rogue, whatever. um and ah And he's just like, yeah the deal's already done. She does the same thing that Miranda does, but for a lot less money. And she's like half the age of Miranda. Miranda's really old. She's an old hag. Miranda can't do this anymore.
01:16:51
Speaker
And Andy freaks out and she, yeah she asked to tell Miranda. So she runs from Christian's hotel to her hotel to Miranda's penthouse. She tells him she's not his baby, first of all, which is good. Oh yeah. He goes, baby, come back here. And she goes, I'm not your baby. Yeah.
01:17:13
Speaker
um ah She tries to find Miranda, ah but she won't listen to her and she doesn't get a chance to do it. And they go to the luncheon. um ah She puts on this great green dress. I don't know where it's from. So good. um It's so good. oh yeah I love it. It's one of my favorite. At the luncheon.
01:17:34
Speaker
Yeah, 100%. And she ah it makes the announcement ah that instead of Nigel, Jacqueline Foyer is going to be the head of operations for, I've already forgotten his name, Daniel Sunyades. Yes! Yes!
01:17:52
Speaker
wow I can't remember his name. Oh my God. What is Holt? James Holt. James Holt's new company. And this is a surprise to Stanley Tucci. And he's just like, well, when the time is right, she'll pay me back. But she had to act fast to stop this from happening.
01:18:11
Speaker
She had to get rid of Jacqueline Foyer one way or another. And she sacrificed Stanley Tucci to do it. yeah Because yeah she's not a good person. Yeah. And she reveals all this in the car ride from the luncheon because um Andy finally does get to her right before the luncheon and tells her everything. And they just go into the luncheon. Nothing else is said. And she's just like, I thought it was very sweet that you tried so hard to warn me, but I've known about this for months And um i i you know, just had to find a place for Jacqueline. And also i told head of Elias Clark that, um you know, about my list, which is the list of designers, photographers, um writers, people that have I have sort of like
01:18:54
Speaker
made essentially that will not work for anyone but me so he sort of had his hands tied and he was fucked but it was so nice of you to try and um tell me by humiliating yourself a thousand different ways ah um which is but i mean probably true i mean i'm sure i mean that is why um you know ah anna winter is now the you know president of operations or or some kind of the president of fashion for ah for Vogue instead of the editor in chief. um Yeah.
01:19:28
Speaker
yeah you know and An emeritus role, basically. yeah Yeah, but she's still connected to Vogue. And she still has her job. And she picked her um her fight ah Chloe Mao, her her yeah successor. successor. yeah Yeah. um And ah that was that's the moment that Anne Hathaway re realizes, I don't want to be like you. Oh, because um Meryl Streep turns her and she goes, you know, Andrea, I see i see a lot of myself in you.
01:19:57
Speaker
And Andy's like, I don't want to be like you. i don't want this. And she's like, what do you talking about? couldn't do that to Nigel. Yeah. I couldn't do that to Nigel. She's like, well, you already did to Emily. And she's like, no, that's different. I didn't have a choice. And she was like, did you?
01:20:12
Speaker
You still did it
01:20:15
Speaker
so you know and then we get the famous line of i don't want i don't want to be like them and she goes i don't want to be like this and miranda priestly goes what are you talking
New Beginnings for Andy
01:20:26
Speaker
about andrea everybody wants to be like us
01:20:31
Speaker
and so andy walks away like they get out of the car and miranda goes into the press and andy Walks away into the Plast of the Concord um yeah and her sidekick starts ringing and she throws her phone into the fountain.
01:20:46
Speaker
Yep. And walks away. And somehow gets back to America. Although i was very confused as to how. I'm sure her plane ticket was already paid for. well yeah, her plane ticket was already paid for. But I mean, her seat would have been next to Miranda, right?

Chanel Exhibit & Historical Omissions
01:24:00
Speaker
It's very 2006 rom-com-y. Like, it's just sort of like everything about this movie is like timeless, I feel, except for the hats, the accessories, and the score.
01:24:11
Speaker
It's true. Yeah, yeah. mean, the thing about Chanel, Chanel mostly holds up. But, um yeah, aside from those accessories, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just don't look into her politics around the 40s. No, no. That's true of most people.
01:24:25
Speaker
Don't worry about Yeah. It's my favorite thing when I went to the Chanel exhibit bit at the V&A Museum a few years ago. um was that it's ah It was a beautiful exhibit and like it filled my soul because I'm such a Chanel head. I love Chanel. I would kill for anything Chanel.
01:24:43
Speaker
My perfume of choice is Chanel Mademoiselle. um so And so like seeing all of these iconic Chanel gowns in person was just phenomenal. And then you get to like the timeline where I'm like, and then World War II happened.
