Sticker Collection Obsession
00:00:00
Speaker
um i have gotten into a little bit of a um an issue ah um in that i have become addicted to fun quirky stickers to put on my water bottle and everyone else knows that i love fun quirky stickers to put on my water bottle and so they keep gifting me fun quirky stickers to put on my water bottle which i love um but i'm running out of space well that's the one you do then is you get another water bottle I know, but this is the one I'm used the most and I want people to see that I'm using their stickers. That's like true. That's true. About 90% of these stickers have been gifted to me. Yeah.
00:00:38
Speaker
And I love it. I love it. Like yesterday, I just got this Libra one from my boss at work. That is huge. Also, a lot of those stickers are very large. Yeah, they keep giving them to me and I can't say no. I have this um more pride, less prejudice. And then i have this like Taylor Swift one, this wicked one. and then I've got this Chicago one and Starry Night that was also gifted. And then I bought this, the Felicity one and like from- that a Stanley?
00:01:09
Speaker
ah Yeah, it's the wicked Stanley. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. From Starbucks? No, from Target. Yeah. Okay, yeah, Starbucks had the Wicked Stanleys too Oh, they did?
00:01:21
Speaker
I got this one for my birthday last year Yeah, last year for my mom um And that was that she was going to give me a check And then I was in town and I was like, let's go to Target Because I think they might have the Wicked Stanley that I want And we went and they did And I was like, so going to tear up that check And you're going to give me the money now Okay
00:01:47
Speaker
um yeah
00:01:51
Speaker
um i've never had i'm an awala girl that's what i an awala awala and look at all your stickers yeah you know it's just the little things it's the little things and i think it's like it's that millennial like desire because i don't have textbooks to put stuff on to like show my individuality you know you used to put stickers on textbooks Well, you know, you'd have to do the book covers like made out of paper
School Memories and Dialects
00:02:20
Speaker
bags. And so I draw all over mine and I put stickers on it and like I made it make it mine. And i just ah yeah, I don't think we did that. Like I think in middle school we had like i remember doing it like a couple of times, but it wasn't like a. It wasn't a major thing in my school to do the book covers. Yeah. Oh, it was a big thing. Yeah. And then like I also did that with my like my satchel junior and senior year. I had a shirt that was too big and I cut it up. It it had like it was like a William Shakespeare shirt. And so it like had it was like a really cool like William Shakespeare's plays. um And so I cut that out. Really cool.
00:03:01
Speaker
Yeah, right. I mean, I'm saying all of this. I'm not saying that everybody else in my school did this. I'm just saying I did this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I wanted people to know I was different. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's that's part of it. Um, and yeah right yeah. And so I sewed that onto my satchel. And so it was like, that was my backpack was, it was just like a normal satchel with this weird, like t-shirt just cut out and sewed on to the front. yeah Um, yeah cause I was cool.
00:03:33
Speaker
So cool. Um, I was, uh, I've always been a a, pin girl, like, um, like oh a pin. Yeah. Sorry. You're, so you're Southern. Well, okay. So first of all,
00:03:49
Speaker
that is ah the the pin, the pin pen shift only goes one way. So um the Southern people, they'll say pen like a writing, like a writing pen, like pin, like something that goes on your, um your jacket, but it doesn't go the other way. At least not in the South. I don't know if there's another dialect that does that.
00:04:08
Speaker
But because I would get made fun of for saying like specifically 10 or pen. um And I yeah probably put a little bit too much.
00:04:19
Speaker
uh like put little too much mustard on it when i was you know trying to uh like get rid of my accent as a as a tween yeah i remember my my mom especially and i think and a couple of other my friends would make fun of me for saying 10 instead of 10 like 10 dollars you got 10 dollars um i didn't know that dollars were made of tin No, they're $10. And then I would, and then my mom would go, 10. You have 10.
00:04:50
Speaker
a pen. Like, yeah, that's, that's how it's, that's how it's pronounced. That's correct. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Pins. Pins.
00:05:01
Speaker
Like a denim jacket. mean, I have a denim jacket like right next to me here with a bunch of pins on it, but I, um they're so easy to lose. And i always seem to lose my favorite ones. Like, the little The little weird shape that I got for free when I got another pin that like i doesn't mean anything to me, that's held onto my jacket for years. But my my Ten of Swords pin,
00:05:23
Speaker
my like my Sad Girl pin, God knows where they are. They just fell off at some point.
Tarot and Magic Mike Journey
00:05:28
Speaker
Oh, God. Have you ever done – is the Ten of Swords your like birthday tarot card? Um, that would be very upsetting if it was. Whoever's birthday tarot is the Ten of Swords, like, that's unfortunate. Because you can do that. Ten Swords one of the worst tarot cards to pull. Um... ah I don't know what my birthday um tarot card is. I hope it's not the Ten of Swords. I like the Ten of Swords because it is, I think, beautiful visually. Yeah. yeah um
00:05:57
Speaker
More so than, and, and you know, it it's, I mean, yeah, okay, fine. that It's not always terrible, it's but it's like. Yeah. Depends on the interpretation. huge change, you know? Yeah. catastrophic change of events is the Ten of Swords. Yeah.
00:06:13
Speaker
And um so that's why that's why I like it. but Yeah. You can Google. If you Google your birthday and your tarot card, like you can find out what your tarot card is. Let's find out together. Yes. i Mine is the lovers and um the devil.
00:06:28
Speaker
but you have two major arcana on your. um Yeah. It says the Zodiac tarot. So cancer is the chariot. Sorry. Zodiac. Sorry. Not birthday. Okay. Okay. Um, the two cards are the chariot and the high priestess.
00:06:47
Speaker
Um, because the high priestess is number three. ah oh, and the chariot is seven. So it's just seven, three. Okay. I get it. Yeah. Yeah. The combination of these two cards is just a person who is both motivated and driven and also possesses a strong intuition and a creative nurturing side. All right. There you go. i could have sworn that I did a thing where it was like your birthday tarot.
00:07:11
Speaker
So yours would be 1015. So is, um I Yeah, that's that's why i thought. It's we it's za is the devil.
00:07:24
Speaker
I don't know why. i could have sworn it was the lovers and the devil. um By numerology, it's the devil card. Okay. By the Zodiac, it's the justice card. I don't know where I got the lovers. Lovers also make sense for Libras though. 15 is the devil and 10 is the wheel. So it should be the wheel and the devil.
00:07:42
Speaker
Ah, okay. Well, the devil is in there. Yeah. So yay me.
00:07:52
Speaker
ah man So that's Tarot Corner. Yeah, yeah. So, um, the devil famously featured in today's film. Right, Thomas?
00:08:04
Speaker
Right, producer Thomas? What was that? You want to say that again? He's not going to do it that cute. Cats famously cannot be trained. I to be fair, the devil tarot card is about like being like in like the devil, like seduced by physical pleasure, like that sort of thing. Actually, yes.
00:08:26
Speaker
The devil does kind of work for this movie, yeah. Yeah, and others might say super hot dudes dancing. Might also be a devil in disguise. I mean, it's seduction, right? That's part of the devil card. Yeah. Right. And also, I don't know.
00:08:45
Speaker
I feel like our main character, who surprisingly isn't really Mike, but kind of is Mike. um it's It's weird. These movies are so weird. I'm excited that we're going to watch all three of them because it's quite a journey. Quite a journey. I'm so excited to go on this journey. Anyways, um that's right, guys. You guessed it. This is go Get Your Girl. This is the podcast test where Emma and Katie are just...
00:09:12
Speaker
How do Their brother. Their brother. Okay, fair enough. yeah Their brother. Because I was like, I could say that we're strippers, but then that would be the same thing if we do Hustlers. That's a different movie. um And we're not dudes. um And so their brother goes, is like kind of deadbeat and like can't hold down a job. And he wears the stupid sneakers. He kind of sucks a lot. Yeah, and he wears sneakers everywhere and he sucks. um But he makes friends with a dude named Mike and Mike shows him the wild ways of the Tampa stripping scene. And... ah
00:09:57
Speaker
And, um yeah, and he flourishes at this strip club and makes a lot of money, but um he doesn't know responsibility or how to adult. So he squanders it all and is a little piece of shit.
00:10:13
Speaker
And all the meanwhile, we're just trying to protect him. And Mike keeps saying he's going to watch out for him. And I guess somehow we start falling for Mike. Yeah.
00:10:24
Speaker
weirdly, i don't know why ah sort of thrown in there our last minute. um That's right, guys. I'm Emma. And I'm Katie, and today we are, of course, talking about the not really a rom-com. Although, to be of the three of them, this one is, I guess, the most a rom-com, maybe? Is it?
00:10:46
Speaker
In terms of structure. um Yeah, because the next one is like a buddy hangout movie, a buddy road trip hangout movie. Oh, okay, of the three Magic Mikes. i thought were talking about of the movies we've done in November. I was like, really? More so than K-pop Demon Hunters? More so than Twilight? Yeah.
00:11:02
Speaker
Yes, it is but it is more of a rom-com than both of those two movies, yes. No, The Pallbearer is the closest rom-com of our November movies, is is the closest to a rom-com, because it even it's rom-com. don't like that answer. I don't like that answer. going to go with K-pop Demon Hunters. K-pop Demon Hunters, not a rom-com at all. Well, yeah, Magic Mike, 2012, directed by American auteur Steven Soderbergh, for some reason. its Steven Soderbergh?
00:11:32
Speaker
The director of Ocean's Eleven, Out of Sight, Sex, Lies, and Videotape. like Just one of ah the the shining lights of American independent film.
00:11:43
Speaker
yeah And he tried. it I think this is a great movie. I mean, he so worked with what he had. This movie is written by Reed Carolyn, who is Channing Tatum's BFF and yeah producing partner. And it is based on... I'm surprised that Channing doesn't get a story credit. Maybe he didn't want one. I don't know. Yeah, maybe he really didn't want one.
00:12:07
Speaker
It is um yeah written by Reed Carolyn and directed by Steven Soderbergh. And um choreographed by Alison Falk, I want to say. We don't point that out, but it's a dance movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. credit where credit is due. This is based on Channing Tatum's life. When he was 18 and living in Tampa, he started um stripping to to make money. Yeah.
00:12:35
Speaker
Yeah. So are we to assume that he is Alex Perferferfer? Yes, yes, yes. Oh, so he fucks up. petty Alex Pettyfer. Yeah, Alex Perferferferfer.
00:12:49
Speaker
Who they were really trying to sell us on in the early 2010s. Like he was everywhere. and i was in Beastly, which was a flop. Didn't didn't see Beastly. Neither did I.
00:13:01
Speaker
but What I know him from is this. ah But he is in... He was number four, right? Yeah. He is number four and I am number four. He was a stormbreaker. He was in Time with Justin Timberlake. um He is... No. He's he's done. He's cooked. um He is in Magic. I was thinking he wasn't in Magic Mike XXL, but according to this, he is. So he must have like a cameo or something. I don't think he's... He doesn't have a big part in that. They basically just... like
00:13:32
Speaker
Don't worry about him anymore in the next movie. Yeah, that guy sucked. Moving on. But he is he is an English actor and model. o He's not even doing stuff in England?
00:13:45
Speaker
Yeah, he is. He's in The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, which is, um what's his name? ah um Guy Ritchie movie. Oh, okay. Yeah, he's got a lot of action movies now. He is attractive for an English person, I will say.
00:14:03
Speaker
yeah Hey now. Hey now. Notice that, did you? Hey out um now. I will let you know, Charlie is almost caught up. You will be getting some very timely texts.
00:14:17
Speaker
I don't know. He always text he texts me things that make no sense to me because i've forgotten every I forget everything I say on this podcast as soon as we stop recording. So he sends me something and I'm like, i don't know what that means, man, but I'm happy for you.
00:14:29
Speaker
and I don't know. The other day i was walking downstairs and I thought I heard him say something and I turned and i went, what was that, hon? And he goes, no, that was you. and I was like, what? He was like, that was you on the podcast. And I was so confused.
00:14:43
Speaker
You heard your own voice coming out of a speaker? thought was Charlie. thought it was him talking? Wow. I thought he was responding to something I said. oh right right, right, right, right. But he said, no, it was very confusing. It was probably a ghost.
00:14:55
Speaker
So, um yeah, Magic Mike. Magic Mike. This was a huge hit.
Magic Mike's Impact and Themes
00:15:00
Speaker
Yeah. It's won two sequels and and and dance clubs across the country, more specifically. Yeah. And kind of, like, I think partially normalized, like, male strip clubs to a degree. Yeah. Which is wonderful. which Yeah, yeah. I have never been to to any any kind of strip club. Yeah. I feel like I would just be embarrassed.
00:15:27
Speaker
I also have not been to any kind of strip club, but I think I have nothing but um like respect and admiring. like Between this movie and Hustlers, you get like people that like exotic dance for a living are...
00:15:46
Speaker
fucking built they're so fucking strong and like i wish that i could do half the things that they could do like a pole dancing especially ah had like it's so good for you like yeah good for you um Caitlin did a couple of classes, but she didn't she she she didn't continue with it. But she yeah she enjoyed it. yeah And they do it all in massive heels. um And like the dancing that these guys do. Well, not at they the The first several ah for several classes, they're like, don't put the heels on.
00:16:17
Speaker
Okay, just just just do a barefoot. Just do a barefoot. ah But the dancing that at least Channing Tatum does in this movie is super... They all do their own dancing. They do all do their own dancing, which is some of the Emma's fun facts, Emma's fun facts. Channing Tatum specifically, he choreographed a lot of his own stuff. That was all Channing Tatum. Yeah.
00:16:41
Speaker
Allison, um ah the Allison Falk is the, you know, the credited like lead choreographer. But yeah, all the I mean, Channing Tatum did a lot of choreography. He is a choreographer. You know, he's done this. as before Yeah. Yeah. He was in Step Up, which I'm sure we'll do on this pod at one point or another. um And i and they specifically made it. alex perfer when he does his um first dance as the kid ah they didn't give him any choreography they were like just just go just go fuck around and so that it's purposefully bad yeah go embarrass he yourself yeah go embarrass yourself go go improv up there um which which is very effective in the film like musical improv is scary enough can you imagine dance improv like yeah
00:17:28
Speaker
Yeah, boy, oh boy. Although i am Second City trained in musical improv, so you're welcome. Yeah, i just guess that was just an excuse for you to plug that, actually. was That was a setup for you. Yeah, I'm really good at making up songs on the spot. Okay.
00:17:45
Speaker
I mean, I came up with all of our theme songs, not the main theme song. That was actually a professional person that we hired. on That's a friend of ours. But um but ah the other like little like intro theme songs, like the Emma's Fun Facts, the Katie's Fascist Facts, the Charlie's Corner.
00:18:03
Speaker
Katie's Fascist Facts, I think was a one off. But yeah, don't if I've had more fascist facts. But we probably will as things probably will as things progress in this hellscape of a country. um But Magic Mike, I will say, Katie, starting right off the bat.
00:18:23
Speaker
Emma was Emma caught up in the axle. She was caught in the axle. Oh, no, we were you were you were wrapped around the axle on what? I was. on but where we were They talk about it all the time. they Not until like the first 15, 20 minutes. They don't mention – well, actually, they don't even mention Tampa for like the first 45. And so like I'm like, are we in Louisiana? Are we in Florida? They mention Miami. You didn't Cheney Tatum was a Florida boy? no, I had no idea. Why would I know that?
00:18:51
Speaker
And and so I was just like, are we in Texas? like Because they're they're mentioning like hurricanes and how it like wiped out a bunch of stuff. And I was like, okay, so we're either Texas, Louisiana, or Florida. That's where we've got to be.
00:19:03
Speaker
But like we're seeing palm trees, so I was like, maybe it's California. And so like it wasn't until they said, and for a long time, like I thought we were in New Orleans. I thought and thought it was Louisiana. Until we got to um them being like, something something some something tampa and i was like oh okay we're in tampa they're the the uh cock rocking kings of tampa is what they are yeah the cock rocking kings of tampa yeah and boy florida what a place florida rock and cocks i should say i mean that's it the the name fits we do get some full hog we do yeah in the first half an hour we get full hog yeah I mean, full is hard to to say. I mean, you're talking about um in the in the penis pump. Is that what you're talking about? if bump but yeah yeah pump
00:19:52
Speaker
Yeah. sweet Swedish made penis. The penis bump from Austin Powers makes a cameo in this movie. Yeah. um Okay, so let's back up. um ah We're first introduced to Mike, ah who has this kind of on again, like non committal relationship with Olivia Munn.
00:20:13
Speaker
um ah Love to see her. Who is an actress and has chemistry in this movie. Yes. um We should point out. Unlike Nepo Baby. ah you looked her up, did you? Yep. Yep. I looked up the Nepo Baby. Because was like, why is she familiar?
00:20:29
Speaker
She's a double Nepo Baby. Because not only is she Alan Horn's daughter, the head of Warner Brothers at the time this movie was made, which was distributed guess, Warner Brothers. Yep. Of course it was. But she's married to Reed Carolyn, the screenwriter.
00:20:44
Speaker
jesus fucking christ who But they weren't married at the time, so I assume they were only dating at this time. Or maybe this is how he met her. I don't know. it's It's unclear. You can't look up biography facts about a screenwriter on the internet. Like, nobody cares enough to – Nobody cares enough. And, I mean, like, I was like, why she look so familiar? I was like, oh, she's been in one episode of The Office and this.
00:21:06
Speaker
End of list. she's a she's in a She's in a couple of other things. um She is what I like to call a charisma black hole ummo where nothing can escape her dead, vacant stare. Yep. um Apparently she is like, I mean, she's retired from acting um yeah and does a lot of like philanthropy. And, you know, i know that Reed Carolyn does also, and maybe they're good people. um So apologies. Yeah.
00:21:37
Speaker
But she is horrible in this movie. She's not good She's not good. She's not good. Although I will say, i will credit it with that. She looks like every single basic bitch girl in 2012.
00:21:50
Speaker
she is She looks like a Tampa girl for sure. She looks like a Tampa girl in 2012. She looks like that girl, that bitch, you know who she was. And like everything about the sort of like set, I mean, like, I don't know if they filmed on location, but like if it's all feels so real. Okay, good. Cause like, I was like, I've been to that apartment complex. they shot some of it in They shot some of it in Los Angeles. um My guess is they shot the the stage stuff in Los Angeles.
00:22:20
Speaker
and then they also shot in tampa my guess is all the exteriors are really tampa Just based on what general process. yeah but like ah the apartment complex that she lives in that her and Alex Um, but that apartment complex, like I have been to a thousand and one of those apartment complexes is when I lived in Houston. Like that's where all of my friends in their twenties lived in Houston. Like some like made of cardboard a apartment complex. Very like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Golf.
00:23:07
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so everything felt like very real because everything in that little Gulf of Mexico area all feels very similar in some ways. Yeah. So, yeah.
00:23:22
Speaker
Um, so, um but we're getting ahead of ourselves again. So logic Mike, Mike, uh, who has had a threesome with Olivia Munn and a girl whose name they can't remember. And we don't even see her face. Yeah. And then we kind of like follow ah Mike's life, which is just so busy. He's so busy. has so many businesses. he He's working as a roofer when we meet him, but he's driving a truck that says like, you know, Mike's detailing. Like he owns a detailing company. yeah he really cares about making custom furniture. Yeah.
00:24:01
Speaker
That's his like passion. he will He's saving this money so he can start a custom furniture business. Yeah. And it's not just custom furniture. It's re recycled. um Yes. Recycled custom furniture. So it's like yeah pieces that he finds on the beach from like a hurricane. um He'll like make into a table and like yeah he's like repurposing junk essentially to look very chic and nice. And he's very good at it.
00:24:30
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. um and um But yeah, he's doing a million different things to and saving up a lot of money to for this this business that he wants to start. um While when he goes to his roofing job and he meets Adam, who's this dumb asshole. Yeah.
00:24:49
Speaker
Yeah. Who's Alex Pettifer. And he has he has gotten, he doesn't know how to roof. He got on this job through Craigslist. He's wearing tennis shoes. um He gets accused of stealing soda from the the cooler. So he quits in a huff of of ah a fit of pique.
00:25:09
Speaker
yeah And Mike kind of like, takes him under his wing a little bit. Yeah. And, um, well, yeah, he runs into him on the street and try to get him into this club.
00:25:19
Speaker
um he's living with his sister. He's dropped out of college. He's 19. Yeah. And Mike is like, okay, I can get you into this club if you do a favor for me. And he's like, see those girls over there? Start talking to him.
00:25:31
Speaker
sorry Start talking to them. And so he talks to them and then Mike comes over and gives them a flyer for his, for their, for their, their dance group. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:25:42
Speaker
ah He's out there at the clubs trying to pick up girls to bring to their their show. Yeah, the clubs in Tampa. Just like every dance major you knew in college who would come up and say, are you coming to my showcase? Are you coming to my showcase?
00:26:00
Speaker
Come to my club. Come to my club. Yeah. And they do because these guys are hot. um Yeah. And they know how to dance. Yes. And this movie, I was surprised. There's so little of the other boys in this movie. Like this movie is really just about, um just about Channing Tatum and Alex Pettiford. Well, the next movie is just the boys in a van. So there's much more of them. So we also have Manginello, or as I like to call him, Daddy.
00:26:33
Speaker
na Matt Bomer. Yeah. matthew And Matthew McConaughey. Matthew Matthew McConaughey, as I like to call him.
00:26:46
Speaker
And you you guessed it, guys. They, of course, make an all right, all right, all right reference in this movie. It's the first thing he says on the um um in on the um amount of my god microphone. keith He says it like two or three times. like He says it in the gym, too. yeah yeah He goes, all right, all right, all right. That's his that's his deal. um And this is um that this is the beginning of the McConaissance, as they call it. The McConaissance?
00:27:16
Speaker
Yeah. Where he comes back and he does this and then he does True Detective. Yeah. And then he does the ah the movie that wins him an Oscar that everyone remembers, of course. Of course.
00:27:28
Speaker
Dallas Buyers Club. Yeah. Yeah. Which is ah a movie that just kind of evaporated as soon as it came out. But he won an Oscar. So good for him. There you go. Good job, McConaughey. um ah and And then there's some other boys as well who don't who get even less screen time.
00:27:48
Speaker
But ah yeah, he he brings Alex there and he's like, okay, you can you can do something. You can take tickets. You can do props. Yeah, McConaughey is Dallas, who's like the in charge. And he's like, fine, you can do props.
00:28:02
Speaker
You're in charge of props on the back. Yep. but And then we see um Big Dick Richie, ah who's Joe Manganiello, pumping up his penis with a Swedish made penis pump and larger.
00:28:15
Speaker
Yeah, but like we see we see it in a very creative way, so we don't know if it's actually Joe's penis. I was about to say Joe's pee-pee. i don't I don't think it is. I don't think.
00:28:28
Speaker
Because it just is like in the corner. It's in like the far bottom left corner of the shot. and You really get to pause it, yeah. the penis slowly growing and you're seeing and being like pumped and you're seeing Alex Piffiffiff's reaction to this and then it shoots and then it cuts to Joe's face so you make the assumption that it is his his dick yes yes so um and his name is Big Dick Richie so yeah yeah so that's his whole spiel they all have like a thing they've all got a thing Magic Mike's is that he can dance yes
00:29:04
Speaker
Which you might think is a um priority for ah male exotic dancers, but it's not. I mean, that's the thing. though He can like really dance, though. like the Yeah, he's a good dancer. Yes, he is.
00:29:20
Speaker
um ah So Alex gets kind of drawn into this world. yeah um ah Somebody, oh, ah Tarzan, um the the old guy who is yeah um whose deal is that he's Tarzan.
00:29:34
Speaker
ah ah ah takes too much ghb which jesus yeah oh is that what was in the drink yeah it's ghb yeah oh okay because he ah when we first meet all the boys in magic mike um in the strip club uh he um what's his name the comedian who plays the dj Gabriel Iglesias. Yeah. Gabriel Iglesias. He um is just like, Hey, here's some of this, this stuff, um you know, and he calls it like a different name and gives it to Mike and Mike um ah Alex is like, Oh, can i have some? And he goes, you're not even 21. You can have half a cup full, half a um a cap full. um He goes, it's G. And I was like, Oh, like grain alcohol. That's what I thought.
00:30:28
Speaker
He was like, it's how you get fucked up without all the calories. And I was like, like, great alcohol. No, it is not. It is GHB, which is like mini dosing, like roofing yourself, um which is crazy. um yeah So he passes out, so he can't dance. So they got to get ah Adam or the kid, as they call him, dance.
00:30:53
Speaker
Yeah. um And he goes out and this is the scene where they just shoved Alex Perfifer on stage in his little hoodie and ah and T-shirt and baggy jeans because it's 2012 and we're still doing the baggy jeans nonsense. um And they're like, OK, just go improv.
00:31:16
Speaker
Just go do something. And so he just starts being real awkward and weird. And then he starts taking his clothes off. Everyone starts going wild. Then he shows off his butt a little bit. And then he starts making out with a girl in the audience. The girl that he brought from the club. Yeah. Yeah. yeah um Because you learn that this lifestyle, it's not just about the dancing. They're not just there for the dancing. They're there for the parties. They're there for the drugs. They're there for the sex. They're there for all the things. um I would think personally, i mean, but this is just me being an old lady, is that when you're done with a night of dancing and like um and like flirting with girls and doing all that, wouldn't you just want to go home and get in your jammies?
00:32:01
Speaker
Well, the thing is that you keep doing um ecstasy and coke. which is going to um keep you up and horny, I believe. Yeah. Yeah. But I just want to go home in my jammies. Yeah. Yeah. He's also 19. Yeah, that's true. That's true.
00:32:18
Speaker
And they're like, you can't, you can't make out with the the customers. That's rule number one, man. Yeah. Yeah. But I like that you took a risk. anything Boy. Oh boy. He keeps going too far. That's kind of his whole deal. He is a, um,
00:32:35
Speaker
Asshole is the best way to describe it. I hate this guy so much. They make absolutely no attempt to make you like him. Like there's no no like saving grace for him. Like you never, he never has a save the cat moment. He never has anything to sort of you be like, oh, okay, I kind of understand why he's being an asshole. He's just always an asshole.
00:32:54
Speaker
I think that's the point, right? Like he's like, this is part of how Mike realizes that this isn't for him anymore. yeah You know, like this is, he's like, was I like this when I was this age? I you don't know. He hasn't been doing it since he was a kid. Like I think he says he's been doing it for five years. Yeah. Dallas met him. Yeah.
00:33:12
Speaker
Yeah. And he's he's 30 now because they mentioned it at the end. So he's been doing it since he was 25. um And he does it for the money and he's not really in it for the lifestyle. He does it for the cash.
00:33:26
Speaker
That's his big thing. And he's like the most responsible of all the dudes. Oh, definitely. Yeah. There's even like. uh matt bomer who's married is like still selling ecstasy to everybody you know yeah yeah exactly um ah they are uh yeah so adam has a sister uh who is brooke who is the previously mentioned uh in this movie and she is concerned yeah Basically her only The only gear she's in In this whole movie um That's her only personality He dropped out of college and moved in with her And then she has the worst boyfriend in the world Yeah, he sucks Whose name is Tall Paul Tall Paul Tall Paul's whole thing is that he works in insurance claims Yes, yes And belittles her because she doesn't do as big insurance claims as he does Yeah, yeah
00:34:23
Speaker
yeah there's There's a lot in this movie about economics and about specifically, like, the very specific time they were in. This was 2012. It was just a few years after the housing collapse and the, like, mortgage interest rates and things that, like, I don't really care enough about to go to, like, learn a lot about. But there is, it's always in the background. In every, yeah like, scene where the guys are hanging out, like, somebody is talking about, like...
00:34:55
Speaker
getting their money, like the, the stock market they're talking about, um, they're talking about like manipulating mortgage rates. They're talking about, um, they're all very, very money focused and it's a very economics in the background kind of movie. Cause these are like, you know, working class guys, like they're all working construction or something during the day and then dancing at night. So.
00:35:21
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. um And I mean, like, also, it's like, it's not post, obviously not post Katrina, but it is sort of, I mean, Katrina is more of Louisiana. Let's see. What was the um hurricane? I think there was another hurricane and that hit Tampa, but sometime before this. Yeah, there's, yeah it is also like, you know,
00:35:45
Speaker
rebuilding from hurricanes and stuff. Yeah, they're trying to, oh, was it Irma maybe? was like of those. was big one, Irma was a big one, I remember. i don't remember Milton or Helene or Idalia, but this is all after I moved out of the South. I knew all of the names um to hit there ah whenever it was, ah yeah, I think, oh, it was Irene. Yeah. Wait, Emma, were you in Houston when ah Katrina hit? Yeah.
00:36:15
Speaker
Yeah, I was in Houston when Katrina hit. I don't think we've ever talked about that. Yeah. um I was there for Katrina. I was there for um Rita. I was there for um Sarah Lucy. I remember there being. I remember pre-hurricane parties where my friends and I would hang out the day before everything was canceled. And um my dad had to board up That's how I lost my weed smoking...
00:36:46
Speaker
ah My weed-smoking treehouse was because Katrina. Because my dad dismantled it to ah board up the windows of our house. um And I had like painted everything. My weed-smoking treehouse. And it was um it was it didn't affect me so much personally or like my school. But I had friends that went to public school and they had...
00:37:12
Speaker
buses of kids that that that were sort of bused in from louisiana um yeah but to say yeah because they um that everybody everybody came to houston to like you know everybody was in the um the astrodome right yeah yeah yeah so like it was like ah there was a huge uh wave of people that were sort of like migrated to houston around that time so like all of like post hurricane rebuilding is very very like Not personal to me, but like, I get it. I lived around it. I lived through I mean, I didn't have to rebuild, but... They weren't sending the kids to the ah bougie, rich kid, Catholic private school you went to? No, they weren't. They were sending them to public school. Shocking. And it was like a whole thing. Like, like kids would get into fights. if that It was like Texas kids versus Louisiana kids. It was like, it was a whole thing. Yeah.
00:38:04
Speaker
Yeah, it was a whole thing. So, um so yeah, I get it. yeah Um, so, uh, then we have like a dance practice with, uh, where Matthew McConaughey teaches, uh, Alex Pettifer to dance, um, which is good. And he kind of like lays it all out. He's like, you know, it's, you make these women's fantasies come true, right? Like they have husbands or boyfriends that, you know, um,
00:38:37
Speaker
not I mean, it's not that they don't love them and it's not that they they're not attracted to them, but like the we are we are but we are we are a fantasy. We are like yeah extreme ah um specimens of yeah male ah attraction. And, you know, you you take this woman on stage and simulate sex with her. And then she gets to go home to her husband and not feel guilty about doing anything wrong. Right. Exactly.
00:39:05
Speaker
Cause it's all spectacle and it's all, you know, I love, I liked this movie sort of gave a Renaissance to ah normalizing the female libido.
00:39:18
Speaker
Big time. Yeah. ah And normalizing ah horny ladies. And it's not just ah older ladies. They're not just the ones that are... well Older like moms with like eight kids are not just the horny ladies. like You have like the girl who's there for her 21st birthday. You've got like you know the bachelorette party and stuff like that. um You get the sorority house. like It's a lot of like younger chicks and they're like really into it. And I love that because I feel like there was so much stifling of like female sexuality in the two thousand s I think without this movie, you don't have like the boom in like romance, horny romance novels. like This is all part of it.
00:39:58
Speaker
um I think Twilight is part of it, too. Oh, i I actually have an update on that as I am almost done listening to re-listening to Twilight for the first time since I first
Twilight's Surprising Intensity
00:40:08
Speaker
read it. um It is way hornier than the movie.
00:40:12
Speaker
Yeah. like Way hornier. Horny explicitly or like horny for kissing? Like, horny, like, she describes um that she gets, like, you know, that um pit at the bottom of her stomach, which I know is in, like, romance novels a lot for, like, I'm feeling horny. Like, that comes up. And, like, he he, like, keeps, like, whispering in her ear and, like, brushing her face and, like, touching her. And it's just sort of, like, there's a lot of descriptions of, like, him, like, touching her and, like, And then they talk about them doing it at one point. He's like, i don't know if we could do that because I might destroy you. And I was like, oh, my God. This is so hornier than I remember. It's all about repression, right? Like, it's all about, like, that that Christian kind of, like, you have to keep this down. Like, you can't do this, right? Doesn't feel Christian. If you have sex, you will be destroyed, right? Like, that's what it's really about.
00:41:13
Speaker
I mean, i think it's just about a horny vampire. Okay.
00:41:21
Speaker
So, because they do end up doing it. I remember they end up doing it. After they get married.
00:41:29
Speaker
I'm going to listen to all of these books and I'm going to give you the updates. Oh boy. I can't wait. it's It's way hornier than I remember. ah And, and it is a surprise I'm here for. it And I'm also disappointing Catherine Hardwick for not making the movie hornier.
00:41:44
Speaker
Well, I mean, I guess we'll see what the other directors do. Right. But this that was also pre-Magic Mike. I think if they had made Twilight post-Magic Mike, it would have been hornier.
00:41:55
Speaker
i would like to think so. Yeah. it would I'm sure they'll remake it eventually. So, you know. You've got BM and...
00:42:04
Speaker
Before Mike, post Mike. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Gotta be a better name for it than that. yeah So Mike is taking Adam to buy thongs.
00:42:17
Speaker
yeah ah he gets a big box of costumes and thongs and he's shaving his legs in the sink yeah and Brooke is like excuse me what's happening what's going on like i kind of I'm not gonna judge you for your lifestyle or whatever but I just you gotta tell me what's going on but I'm exactly judging you yeah he constantly is like it's for work Brooke shut up he's like how is it for work also can we talk about the first scene with Brooke and Alex perforfor um They had, I mean, for an actress, a Nepo baby actress who has no chemistry with the man she's supposed to be falling in love with, she ah it's it's basically the Folgers commercial. They are silently flirting with each other. you think so? I think so. I think they had too much sexual chemistry in that first scene. And I was like, are they brother and sister? Are they fucking? Because I can't tell.
00:43:08
Speaker
I did not get that. I just know that every time Brooke is on screen, I'm like, Where's Olivia Munn? Is Olivia Munn coming back? Can we get Olivia Munn, please? Can we get Olivia Munn back in here? mean, even What's Her Face, Elvis Presley's granddaughter who plays, who's in there, doesn't have like basically any lines. She's in it for like all of like 30 seconds, it feels like. Oh, wait. What's her name? Fury Road herself is in this? I didn't notice that.
00:43:37
Speaker
Yeah, she's the one with the pig.
00:43:41
Speaker
Oh, God, I knew she looked familiar. I kept calling her Pig Girl. Yeah. um God, what is her name? um ah It's Elvis Presley's granddaughter. But that's not her name.
00:43:53
Speaker
Yeah, she's in Fury Road. Riley Keough. Yeah, she is. Riley Keough. She is in Steven Soderbergh's TV. Oh, no, no, she's not. So Steven Soderbergh made a movie called The Girlfriend Experience.
00:44:07
Speaker
um but And then they made a TV show. Yeah. on it. And she's, she plays her. yeah And she's so good. really good she And she's really good in um ah Daisy Jones and the Six. Like she's fantastic. I still haven't watched it. Oh, you'd love it. You'd love it. It's really good.
00:44:26
Speaker
The book's fantastic as well. Who's the showrunner? Oh, it's, oh, it's Amy Simons. Yeah. I love Amy Simons. and She's an actress and, um and she did the, ah she wrote ah the, the girlfriend experience TV show and she's done some, other movies too. She did that horror movie, um, the other, a couple of years ago called, um, fuck, why is this not on here?
00:44:51
Speaker
I should have gone to, uh, she dies tomorrow. Yeah. I should have gone to um db I went to Wikipedia by mistake. Rookie mistake. Yeah. Rookie mistake.
00:45:04
Speaker
So yes, um, uh, Brooke, uh, ends up at the club yeah weirdly watching her brother yeah yeah um so she's watching him and uh mike comes up and is like hey breakfast girly or something um he oh because they had met before they had met once before yeah and uh and now he's like you should stick around you should uh you should watch me dance uh and of course she does and this is when we get the The centerpiece of the movie, Channing Tatum dancing Jenny Wine's pony. Yep.
00:45:42
Speaker
Yep. And it's Very good. He's a very talented dancer. Yes, he is. Boy, oh boy. is Can he do things? Sometimes at moments, I thought he was just flying.
00:45:54
Speaker
He was just gliding in the He is popping up and doing the doing the worm. and and it's It's flooding basements across America. Channing Tatum dancing funny. Flooding basements?
00:46:07
Speaker
you never heard that expression? No, but I'm going to use it all the time now. oh yeah. I got a flooded basement. yes I got a flooded basement. He is... ah he is a Dreadful euphemism. Yep. Gross.
00:46:21
Speaker
He is pop, lockin' and rockin' into ah the hearts of millions. The hearts and underwear of Underwear of millions. He is snail trailing his way. ah
00:46:37
Speaker
You know...
00:46:42
Speaker
I don't listen to a lot of male podcasts, but I assume, I can only assume that the number of euphemisms they have for getting hard far outweigh the number of euphemisms we have for getting wet. So that yeah consider this just a, um, a fun experimental a small pushback in the other direction.
00:47:01
Speaker
Yeah. And if you have any euphemisms that you'd like to share, message us on Instagram. Share euphemisms for being wet and on our Instagram. For feminism.
00:47:14
Speaker
It's for feminism. To show that we too can be funny about our horniness. Yeah. Like slide. Equal rights. Slid right out of my chair. i used i've used that before. Yeah. yeah A slip and slide. Slip and slide, yeah.
00:47:35
Speaker
Uh, yeah, so he's flooding me. I guess that's going be the Instagram clip. Yep, yep, yep. Whenever I have time to make more. Uh-huh. I'm still sitting on one for the from the mummy that I haven't posted. i wanted to do, like, a compilation for Go Get Your Ghoul, and, like, I started it yesterday, but then i was working, because i had a lot of downtime at my job, but I was working with one of my friends, Griffin, and we just ended up watching, showing each other memes all day.
00:48:03
Speaker
And so I didn't do it, yeah. and It's like that sometimes. It's like that sometimes. um ah Don't worry about it. um ah There is... um Yeah, and then we kind of like move forward. they're do They do these um these scene transitions. for like This whole movie takes place over the summer. and We do June, July,
Career Highlights of Matt Bomer
00:48:22
Speaker
and August. ye um And they are... you know um Adam is stepping up his game. he is Now he's doing like Western shootout dances with Matt Bomer. Yeah.
00:48:33
Speaker
Yeah. Superman himself. Or pre-Superman. I'm sorry. he's He's not Superman. I thought he was Superman. No. He could have been. um Matt Bomer it had a TV show um ah ah called White Collar that became that came out I think the same year as Magic Mike. But got he got really, really big. um And then he ah yeah, he's in some other stuff. He got into the Ryan Murphy verse because that's what happens when you're a gay male actor. Yeah, that happens. that Ryan Murphy sucks you in. but yeah, he's been in some movies. He's done some good stuff too. um Oh, upcoming White Collar Renaissance.
00:49:20
Speaker
Oh, they're bringing it back. Of course they are. yeah back I've never seen an episode of White Collar, but he is very, very pretty. And yeah um I hear that that show is is fun. Yep. He is one of the the actors that really puts the lie to like, I mean, and I think this is a lie in general, but like, you know, for a long time, a lot of actors were afraid to come out because they thought they would never get to, you know, they would only have to play gay parts. They would get, and they're just, and there just weren't enough at that point, at that point yeah where nobody was making TV shows or or movies with gay characters. So that means you don't have a career, yeah but he, he continues, he he does play gay characters, but he also continues to get cast in like, romances he was in um uh fucking whatchamacallit wasn't he he was either he was in the normal heart or he was in the boys in the band he was in he was definitely in the normal heart he did the normal heart on broadway and he did the show um but um he continues to get cast in uh in straight roles as well yeah um which is like super hot that's what you want as an actor you can do anything yeah yeah you're you're a chameleon yeah
00:50:28
Speaker
if he's a chameleon but he is uh think that he's a he's a good actor um i don't i can't think of any particular roles that i've seen him in but yeah oh i know i know where i recognized him from he's bryce larkin from chuck yes he yes he is the um to villainous ah the uh the villainous best friend of actual life villain Actual life villain Zachary Levi. Zachary Levi. ah
00:51:01
Speaker
He's the reason that Chuck becomes Chuck. um Yeah, but that's that's for our side podcast on Chuck. I do not want to do a side podcast on Chuck. Listen, we can do a side podcast on The O.C. We can do a side podcast on other stuff we talked about, but I do not want to talk about Chuck. for i don't know why I don't want to do 100 episodes on fucking Chuck. I don't think I can take it.
00:51:28
Speaker
I've seen that show like three times. ah Mrs. Maisel. That's the other show we talked about doing. Mrs. Maisel. Yeah. I think Buffy. We've talked we talked a lot of game about some side pods. Oh, The Last King, Tenth Kingdom. oh sure. Well, yeah that's only like 10 episodes. We could do that. Yeah, yeah. That's an easy goal.
00:51:47
Speaker
Hold on. I want to continue talking about Channing Tatum dancing to Pony real quick. Yes. Go on. Backflip off the stage. So He does the thing where he picks the woman up in the chair, puts yeah her legs over his shoulders, and then drops the chair. Yep. I physically said heavens out loud. ah Heavens.
00:52:07
Speaker
Oh, oh, that actually leads me to and a segue of a the point in the movie that I did not like. um which is Joe Montesum, married to Sofia Vergara.
00:52:22
Speaker
Joe, Joe. Big Dick Richie. Big Dick Richie. Joe Mangianello. Joe Mangianello. Al Seed from True Blood.
00:52:34
Speaker
Yes, werewolf extraordinaire. does something similar in one of the little sort of like montage shots that they use to like fill time. And he picks up a ah woman who is not obese. she Oh, no. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:52:52
Speaker
Maybe for 2012 considered to be... overweight but is a normal looking woman i will say yeah yeah yeah um because beauty standards as we've talked about it for millennials is just so fucked up um but uh he picks her up does something similar but it like flips her upside down and like has her like spread eagle um in front of him and throws his back out yeah and And then you see a cut of his face of him like walking off the stage, holding his back. And then you see her just standing on stage looking mortified.
00:53:26
Speaker
And that's the end of that scene. hated it. Here's the thing. I think, I don't think that that is, i don't think that the joke is on her. I think that's more like...
00:53:37
Speaker
I think that's part of the the culture of it, you know, because a lot of the women who go to this show... And actually, there's there's a little bit more to that in the next movie. um There's... um Because that is something... I'm sure that's something that happens, you know? like Yeah. I do feel like, you know, they they concentrate on the 21-year-old, like, little tiny girls. Yeah. And, you know, the more, like, average-sized women probably do get, um you know, either...
00:54:07
Speaker
either not given attention at all or when they are something like this happens. and I'm not saying that this is like a good example of that or necessarily even what they were going for. i don't necessarily think it's a joke in this movie, but, um but it is, you know, in the context of everything else, I think it's, it is just part of maybe, maybe just something that they, they talked about in the, in the the stories of, of actually working at the strip joint. I don't know.
00:54:36
Speaker
It just, it felt a little fat shamey. It felt, felt. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And like, I felt mortified. I was like, I felt for that girl so much. And I was like, I hate this. I hate this. This is bringing up a lot of feelings for me that I didn't want to feel when I was watching Magic Mike.
00:54:50
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, here's the thing. Like, it's not a comedy. um now This is, yeah this is a sad movie. Yeah, it's sad. Things don't go well for Mike, as we will see.
00:55:02
Speaker
Um, yeah, the second one is more fun. And I want to say, i want to say they explicit, it's been years since I've seen it. So I might be wrong about this. But I want to say there's some explicit talk about like, um you know, ah not fat shaming necessarily, but like, you know, different body sizes in terms of the women that they're dancing for.
00:55:23
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Well, this felt fat shamey and I hated it. Sure. Anyways, moving on. So he has a loan meeting with yeah Betsy Brandt from Breaking Bad. um It has i'll sit more of an arc in the scene that she's in and all six seasons of Breaking Bad. um She is ah he's got all his shit together. He's got his business proposal laid out. He's got, you know, several thousand dollars in cash as a down payment. And he is trying to get a loan to start his business. And his credit rating is like 400 and something.
00:56:01
Speaker
Yeah, it's not good. And she's like, there's we can't do anything about it. And he's like, well, I talked to this other guy. And he said that you know if I brought in cash for the down payment, then that could be you know something different. Like all of these these businesses I do, there they're cash only. you know i have a hard time building credit. Yeah. And she's like, um well, you know, we have, I can't do anything about it. We have programs for people who are distressed. And he's like, do I look distressed? Yeah. Like, does this stack of cash look distressed to to to you? The only thing that's distressed is you. And talking about like the, you know, the bank crisis and, yeah you know, the absolute atrocity that I'll never get over of the government bailing out all those banks that stole all the money from people that we, yeah.
00:56:45
Speaker
yeah It's alluded to, but not gone deep, deep on this, but he's, ah he's not getting his loan. He has, he tells Brooke that he saved $13,000 over the course of like six years to get this business off the ground, but he just can't, he can't get a loan to, to make it happen. And $13,000 isn't enough, you know? so Yeah. Which is insane. He's got all this cash in a safe in his apartment. Yeah. yeah Yeah.
00:57:11
Speaker
um it is very very nice two-story apartment with the spiral staircase yeah yeah yeah he has a he has a nice apartment um it is uh well he's got like five jobs so yeah boy's busy he shows up he shows up at their apartment dressed like marilyn monroe yep that to go for a fourth of july party sandbar party
00:57:37
Speaker
And, uh, and brings Brooke with them, ah to the stripper party on the sandbar. And she continues to have no charisma. Yeah. Yeah. There's, uh, there's more talk about, you know, post-economic collapse economics. Um, uh, we learned that Adam ruined his football scholarship by punching out the coach on like the second day. yeah Because he's an angry asshole. Yep.
00:58:02
Speaker
Um, Olivia Munn shows up and she's like, hey, are we going to have a threesome with this girl? And he's like, no, no she's not really our type. She's uptight. Yep. Yep, yep, yep. Olivia Munn says, you know how much I like to eat. Like, Jesus. Mm-hmm.
00:58:19
Speaker
Hoo boy. And it should be said, so Olivia Munn is ah in grad school for psychology. she is. And she is, like, nearing graduation. And so, like, her being in Florida is her for grad school.
00:58:35
Speaker
um And you learn, so, like, she is, like, outside of this world, but, like, likes to dabble sometimes. yeah She met him by, because she was doing research on male strippers.
00:58:46
Speaker
Yeah, yeah She's doing a behavioral analysis Yeah, and they have threesomes together Is their thing, yeah yeah All the time Which good for them Yeah, exactly, have a good time He likes her, he genuinely likes her He likes to come with her He constantly is calling her She's like a person um As opposed to Brooke, who is not who's Or who's not a lot of the other women That he has sex with in this movie Exactly, yeah Yeah.
00:59:16
Speaker
They get a job to do like a private gig ah for a sorority house. and um And so Magic Mike and out Alex per for for her um are hired to do this. And you see they, of course, do the stereotypical cops breaking in, being like, is everybody here 21? You don't have anything hard that I can stick myself with, do you? And, um you know, they do that whole thing and then they tear off their pants and start stripping.
00:59:49
Speaker
But ah at one point there was a hurricane party before this where you meet Riley Keough, who's got a a pig that she's really into. And she's got a pig. I called her pig girl. yeah And. The DJ offers Alex Purfer if he wants to like ah get a pack up front to sell. um so they're They're dealing drugs. yeah um There's a little bit of it previously, but Mike isn't involved in it. But a lot of the other guys are are selling ecstasy. yeah Or MDMA, I guess, which is slightly different.
01:00:26
Speaker
It's ecstasy without all the crap in it. It's clean ecstasy. That's MDMA. yeah It's organic ecstasy. yeah um and uh so at this sorority house party they're like stripping and stuff and alex gives one of the sorority girls a tablet of ecstasy and her boyfriend goes did you just give my girl x did you just give my girl x um and starts freaking out on mike and alex um um
01:00:58
Speaker
bus in your bottle on adam's head your bottle but and then adam almost kills him yeah yeah and so he's like we gotta go so he takes them and they leave and alice is like freaking out and he's like i love my backpack i love my backpack and he's like forget the backpack and he's like it's got my stash in it and he's like what what that's not a big deal forget it it's not worth it he's like how many pills did you have on you um and he goes i don't know maybe like 100 and he goes like 100 or 100 and he's like uh he basically fudges the math to make magic mike think that it's only like what like a thousand dollars worth of ecstasy says 100 pills that's what a thousand dollars like ecstasy is ten dollars a pill i didn't know that um I'm not what you call a drug a person. I'm not like, I don't know how much things cost, but ecstasy seems cheap. i don't know.
01:01:52
Speaker
I mean, i'm not going to get into the ins and outs of that. I didn't ask you.
01:02:01
Speaker
You did not ask that. My mom doesn't listen to the podcast. so That's very true. So you can say that. um Anyways, so i he's just like, yeah, I'd make that in like what? Like a night? like Or in like two nights? That's not a big deal. And Alex is like basically, you know, being like, fuck this. Screw this. I'm fine. I'm above all of this. He's such an asshole. crushing everything off.
01:02:24
Speaker
um dallas has been trying to get a space in miami by their own theater in miami for a long time he's finally getting it together um ah and everybody's gonna get equity everybody's gonna get a cut of the um of the space because they're his boys yeah and um Adam thinks that like, you know, his problems are solved. Like he's not going to have to worry about this. i But also like, listen, I've never dealt drugs, but I've watched The Wire and ah other things.
01:02:55
Speaker
Why would you bring the entire stash to this party? That's insane. That's insane. like But he's idiot. You leave that somewhere safe and then you take like some of it with you to sell. Like you don't take your whole stash to sell to a thing. And also you don't give it away. oh my God. yeah he's he's an idiot i think he's like simple the merchandise and tell your friends and then they'll buy you know brought it all with him he shouldn't have brought it all with him but he's an idiot so um also he has a foursome with matt bomer and his wife yep uh where he's like matt bomer's like you want to touch my wife's breast doesn't she have nice breasts And he's like, are you serious? And he's like feeling up his wife's boobs and staring at Matt Bomer. He's like, i fucking love you. And Matt Bomer's like, I fucking love you. I'm like, yeah this is so sweet. Like they're on ecstasy, but it's sweet. It's sweet. They're bonding.
01:03:47
Speaker
Good job. It's much more so in the second movie. It's just about dudes being dudes and guys who love each other. And I just really love it. i love that.
01:03:58
Speaker
This is all about this stupid idiot being an idiot. Yeah. I'll say that, like, this is this is one of the least homophobic movies to be so – like, they do say the F-slur once, but it's almost in, like, a nice way. It's when um Matthew McConaughey is showing Alex Pettiford her to dance, and he's, like, you know, grinding on him, basically. Yeah. And he's showing him how to move his hips. And he says, um he says no. I mean, I'm just going to say it. yeah He says, ah ah this is no time for f***ing jokes, right? yeah
01:04:30
Speaker
Yeah. And, like, that's a way to you that's a way to use that slur in a way that's not actually hurtful. Because he's telling him, like, don't do this. Like, yeah this we're doing this. And don't think about that.
01:04:43
Speaker
And, like, they don't. Like, it is... It's refreshingly un-homophobic for for a movie of this, for this to be about a bunch of like kind of dumb boys who take their clothes off, you know? Especially the time that it was made um as well, which was still a very homophobic time in our society. Yeah.
01:05:04
Speaker
Yeah. Absolutely. ah So, yeah. So then they um you find out that all the pills were not a thousand dollars.
01:05:17
Speaker
They were like $10,000. ten thousand dollars yeah and It was like a thousand pills, not a hundred pills. Yeah, it was like a thousand pills. And so DJ Dude shows up with like a big, what would you call him? Like a pusher?
01:05:35
Speaker
hustler? Some hitters. Some some muscle. yeah Some muscle. And they're tossing Mike's place. Well, actually, what happened before this is Dallas is yelling at them because they didn't get paid for the sorority gig. oh yeah because they ran out and he's mad at him and mike is like fuck it um because this is also where he go find sees joanna at a restaurant and she's like oh this is my fiance he's like your fiance yeah yeah so things are going very bad she's like yeah i'm leaving you know um and he's like okay great everything's everything's great yeah
01:06:09
Speaker
And he gets into a fight with Dallas and he's like, you know, you don't get paid enough. I'm the the the marquee star. And like I could go out that door and make, you know, money without you. And he goes, yeah, but you won't. And you don't.
01:06:21
Speaker
Yeah. um He says, if you want more than seven and a half percent, you're going to bring me fresher shit. And then so he spins around on a rope, which rules. yes
01:06:32
Speaker
and he's like, and he says to, um he says to Adam, we're getting fucked up tonight. And so yeah previously in the conversation with Brooke, he's like, I'm going to look out for your kid, your, your brother. I'm watching out for him. He's 19, but I will, I'll look out for him.
01:06:45
Speaker
yeah There's this bit where they, they have, they sleep with those girls from the, the, the club the first night. Yeah. And they jump into the ocean off the bridge. And he says, Mike, Mike, I think we're going to be best friends. yeah And he's like, okay, okay, calm down. It's sweet. It's sweet. It is very sweet. It's very sweet.
01:07:07
Speaker
And, and this is where so they um and so they bring they they meet some they they meet some girls he they're doing a lot of drugs. There's this really kind of like hallucinatory sex scene yeah um and uh he's he's he's fucking the pig girl and yeah brooke shows up at mike's apartment and she's like where is he and he's passed out in his own vomit the pig is eating the vomit um and brooke brooke freaks out um he's okay uh but she's really mad at mike obviously because he didn't take care of it yeah yeah
01:07:47
Speaker
And then the guys trash the place. Yeah. And then then the guys trash the place and they're like, um you know. Tobias is Gabriel Iglesias' name. Yeah. Tobias. And the thing about – oh, here's another one of Emma's fun facts. Emma's fun facts. um When they were casting the movie, they had um gabriee Gabriel Iglesias come in and read for Tobias and And they had him do this audition. um And ah it was, I mean, they made him like do some really like weird ass scenes and stuff. And he crushed it. And at the end, they told him it was all for a formality. They wrote the character for him.
01:08:28
Speaker
Oh, that's sweet. That's very sweet. um Which is really nice in that he was hired. But yeah, and so ah basically Magic Mike decides he's still going to care for, even though Alex is being a little bitch, um he's still going to care for him.
01:08:45
Speaker
And he pays his debts. He uses $10,000 of savings yeah to pay off what Alex lost.
01:08:57
Speaker
And, um, and basically Alex finds out about this and he goes, he runs in or he's trying to find Alex and, um, He sees Brooke and Brooke is like, Alex doesn't live here anymore because when she was driving him home, she's like, I can't do this anymore. I can't be taking care of you. I can't be like stressed out. I can't be like doing this anymore. And, um, and so he's just like, well where, where is he? And she's like, he doesn't live here anymore. Um, he's with pig girl. And so, yeah, um
01:09:30
Speaker
mike like finds him and he's like on at a beach bar drinking with pig girl and uh like having no care in the world and he tells him what happens and he's like barely phased by it and he's like ah well i'm gonna pay you back every cent i want to thank you so much for what you did i'm go to pay you back every last cent and you get this feeling of like not genuine meaning behind it like he's not paying him back that's not happening he's a dick and he but he keeps saying like you know you changed my life you brought me into this like you are the best friend i've ever i've ever had um yeah and this is like contrasted with the conversation he had with brooke when he was looking for her which is like you know i don't want to be a part of your lifestyle and he's like i my lifestyle isn't me like that's not who i am like i'm not my job and she's like Miami is going to be a bigger, badder version of this. yeah And, you know, that's where you're going.
01:10:29
Speaker
Yeah, she's like, you're a 30 year old stripper. Yeah. um and And like basically insults him. And so they're like, my and ah and so he's just like, great, super. This is fantastic. um And then we get the goodbye, goodbye dance. Ladies of Tampa, ah Matthew McConaughey finally does a dance. He hasn't danced in the movie up until then. He's the he's the MC, c you know? Yep. Yep.
01:10:57
Speaker
This is his show. He does, like, fire breathing ah and does ah does a whole number, which, good for him, man. He's, like, in his 40s. He looks great. Yeah. He's ripped. He's got what they call cum gutters.
01:11:13
Speaker
Oh, heavens. ah That is... Yeah, I've i've heard him called a bunch of things. ah Vagina Bones is another ah name I've heard for them. Yeah, Cum Gutters is foul. That is foul, but I just think it's so funny and so dumb. That's a lot, yeah. um He certainly does. And Mike leaves. Mike mike ah pieces on them yeah um before his his before they're supposed to go dance to It's Raining Men. Yep. And Mahanahe to Adam is like, all right, man, you're in. You're yeahre all the way in. ah You're my man now.
01:11:52
Speaker
Yeah. And you're the man now, dog, he says. And Mike is, it's the airport scene. Mike is driving to Brooke's place. And um he's like, I'm not going for am'm not going to Miami. And she's like, you know, he told me what you did for him. And he's like, I didn't do it for him.
01:12:10
Speaker
Yeah. And you want you want to get some food and talk about it? And she was like, yeah, I have this really great place. Um, they know exactly what my order is. Um, walk in it's, um, and like the eggs are done how I want it. And they have this whole like bit about breakfast food. Cause like when he first meets her, he's like, so, uh, dude over there was talking about breakfast. He's like, I'm not cooking for you. And she, he was like, I wasn't insinuating that you were going to cook for us. I was trying to invite you to breakfast. Um, and And so at the end, he's like, you want to get some breakfast food? And she's like, yeah, I've got this famous favorite place. and They do it all great. They're all really nice. He goes, great, let's go there. And she goes, here's the little thing.
01:12:53
Speaker
It doesn't open until 6 a.m. And he's like, well, that's in like seven or eight hours. And she goes, yeah, what would we do when seven or eight hours?
01:13:03
Speaker
and she's like well And he's like, well, what about tall Paul? And he's she's like, Denzo's. he know to no yeah for seven hours and then it like pulls out we get a little of the credits and you see them kissing end of movie end of movie and that is like it's a thing it's like what if this like kind of dumb like movie about florida strippers was directed by maybe the the best director who's alive you know like it's fucking like why couldn't why couldn't um steven not spielberg but sterbenberger or whatever why couldn't he even soderberg why couldn't he do twilight
01:13:49
Speaker
Cause he didn't want to probably. I mean, he wasn't on the list. That's the thing. Like he wouldn't have been on the list for this movie too. It's very strange that this happens. Like Channing Tatum originally said that he wanted friends with Channing
Steven Soderbergh's Directing Adventures
01:14:00
Speaker
Tatum. He, he wanted Nicholas Vending Refn or whatever his name is. The guy who did drive yeah to, to direct this movie, but he wasn't available. And um so Channing Tatum was in contagion, I believe the Soderbergh movie. And that's how he got on board.
01:14:15
Speaker
um And he he directed two out of the three of them, but he like there's they say he ghost directed the second one. The second one is directed by his his his first AD on a lot of movies. And Soderbergh was the cinematographer and the editor on on Magic Mike 2, but not the director. And he was on set every day. So it's, who's to say? Yeah, who's to say? what he did He did come back for the third one. um And Steven Soderbergh is so funny because this was also like, where he was like, okay, I'm retiring from directing. And then he's like, okay, I'm going to do, I'll do some TV shows. And then he's like, okay, I'm going to direct three movies a year and a again.
01:14:54
Speaker
Yeah, yeah.
Tech Frustrations and Holiday Preparations
01:14:55
Speaker
She's like, okay okay, calm down. Decide, are you in or are you out? He's made like 35 movies and like 10 of them are after he he supposedly retired. Jesus Christ.
01:15:07
Speaker
yeah um Pick a lane. He's cool. I love him. he he's the He's the DP and the editor on almost all of his own movies under pseudonyms. Love that. He makes the whole thing. like He can't you can't do it another way yeah amazing amazing any other thoughts feelings opinions i'm a i think that's it yeah we we hit the the big notes the main thing i want to say is that i got a new phone and and uh there's a known glitch which i hope will get fixed soon in the notes app where when you're typing the keyboard come covers up the bottom part of the notes app and you can't see what you're typing Oh, I hate that.
01:15:51
Speaker
I know. And I Googled it and I found like, apparently if you type an emoji, it will fix it and and lock you back into where you can see it. But then after, if you if you navigate away from it or the screen closes, it'll do it again. So you keep having to type emojis.
01:16:05
Speaker
It's very funny. For whatever reason, that's the that's the glitch breaker. So I kept having to do that in my notes app while I was watching this, but. ha nice I really need that to get fixed because I use the notes app for all of these. Yeah, I think everybody uses the notes app ah all the time.
01:16:24
Speaker
All the time. Yeah, but I mean, because I'm doing notes for these movies, they're very, very long. So it's only going to the bottom of the screen and the keyboard is covering it. yeah Gotcha, gotcha. Amazing.
01:16:35
Speaker
Well, next week, we are ho. ho ho
