Madison: I’m Madison. She/her.
Rachel: I’m Rachel. They them.
Talia: I’m Talia. She her.
Lee: I’m Lee. They them.
So we watched this movie on Netflix and the synopsis for it was “During the bachelorette weekend, a lesbian couple’s relationship hits a snag when one of the brides confesses to never having an orgasm.”
And that’s where the synopsis ends. And that is not nearly where the movie ends (laughter). We just talk about the trailer first because we saw the trailer for this movie. Well, Madison saw the trailer for this movie and thought it looked interesting and cute and pretty good for like a queer movie, which is unusual, unfortunately.
Madison: I mean, it had Constance Wu in it. I was paying attention to where that was going.
Lee: That was honestly my favorite part of the movie.
Madison: Yeah, I saw the trailer for it – it was definitely on some list of like queer movies that are being slept on. And I sent it over to the group and was like, we should watch this. And we feel the trailer was very misleading. Overall, we- We just watched it as a refresher, um, and it was spun as though it was a comedy that was going to have some hard moments in it and some topics that they were going to talk about that were a little more serious, but like done in a comedic way, and that was not at all what we felt came out of the actual movie. They had some, like titular words that were done in the trailer and Lee had those.
Lee: Oh, yeah. It was all the laughs. All the tears. All the feels.
Uh- and I’ve really got none of that from this movie. They were like- it was maybe two laughs.
Madison: Two and a half.
Lee: I had zero tears. And I felt nothing.
ALL: (laughter)
Madison: Do you ever though?
Rachel: I felt awkward and annoyed.
Lee: Yeah that’s true.
There were some negative feels, but I don’t. I really hate the word feels too. Oh, that reminds me of like 2008 Tumblr.
Talia: Yeah. Yeah.
Madison: All of the feels.
Lee: So the fact that it was titled that probably should have given us that little feeling like, well, let’s back away slowly and with a stick.
Talia: To be fair, I think it was unfortunately accurate to describe the feelings.
ALL: (Laughter)
Madison: But I feel it pretty much took that the several funny moments, like any moments that I felt like I was going to give a little chuckle was cut and spliced into the trailer,.
Lee: Which like, isn’t unusual for a movie. Like all movies are like, look, we made a funny thing, let’s put it all on the start of the thing. Um (laugh). But, the problem was that they did it purposely to fool you. It was like, marketed as a comedy with some drama. And it came out as like the worst parts of hanging out with people you’ve never met before. And like two times that you laughed.
Madison: It was very much how I felt like- it wasn’t to the same caliber, but at the same level of disappointment you get if you watched the Sucker Punch trailer versus watching this Sucker Punch movie.
Lee: I never watched Sucker Punch because I was afraid it would ruin it for me.
ALL: (laughter)
Madison: Well it would have.
ALL: (laugher)
Madison: Hang on to all that the trailer gives to you because it is beautiful. And don’t watch the movie because it is highly disappointing, not to the same degree as that, but the same concept where,- definitely whoever was given the job of creating that storyline within that trailer like kudos to you. But, you did not accurately portray the movie.
Lee: It felt like I ordered a movie from Redbox, picked it up or brought it home and like opened it up in a different movie was inside (laughter) “I can’t wait to watch like Fast and Furious” and I brought it home and popped into my DVD player and Kung Fu Panda 2 started playing.
Talia: (laughter)
Lee: I was like, hold on a minute. But it also wasn’t nearly as enjoyable as Kung Fu Panda 2. But gayer I guess. There was a literal bear in that movie though. (laughter)
Talia: I would love to see Kung Fu Panda 2 but gayer just to clarify.
Lee: Kung Fu Panda 2: But Gayer, coming soon.
Talia: Yeah. To theaters.
Madison: Completely made out of stop motion sticky notes that Lee has done.
Lee: Yes. Uh, oh we should we should just say first off, that uh, first off, like three minutes in that (laughter) we’re gonna be talking for a bit without spoilers so that anyone that wants to hear something about this movie without knowing everything about it can get a gist of it. And like our feelings about it. And then at some point we’re going to tell you like, hey, there’s gonna be spoilers. And that’s when shit’s gonna go off and we’re gonna get like, down and dirty and talk about everything that happens in the movie, which will be like the good part. But I guess if like you don’t want that. That’s fine. And you can bail out and watch the movie first and come back. So we’re still in spoiler free zone. We’ll, you know, when.
Uh, do we want to give our- our ratings and then we can get into the spoilers if that sounds.
Madison: Yeah. Why don’t we do that.
Talia: Yeah.
Lee: So, uh- we’re gonna go with overall rating for the movie from everyone out of 10. 10 being the best 1 being like the worst movie you’ve ever seen, probably not even a movie and 10 is like this is my new favorite movie and I now have a T-shirt of it that I didn’t even buy and just have it now
Madison: I crocheted it with my tears.
Lee: I crocheted- yeah, I crochet it suddenly during the movie.
Talia: I feel attacked. I was crocheting while we were watching this movie.
Lee: Well, did you look. Does it have the feels written on it? Is it your new favorite movie?
Talia: No.
Lee: OK, failed.
Madison: So- so the ratings scale is like 1 to Mad Max Fury Road.
ALL: Yeah.
Lee: 1 to like, oh my God, I saw Furiosa for the first time and fell deeply in love.
ALL: (laughter)
Madison: The intense look you were giving me while you said that…
Lee: ANYWAY
Madison: I know you know I feel the same.
Lee: (laughter)
Madison: Um, it’s hard for me because I feel like in order for me to accurately give it, I have to have a mentality of like I’m a movie that hits every number so I can directly compare it.
Lee: Mad Max, Fury Road.
Madison: I mean, I wouldn’t give that.
Lee: I’m going to call it Mad Max Fury Road. Part 1, cause I’m still holding out.
ALL: (laughter)
Madison: I mean, I have to give it like a four. I was so disappointed by this. Maybe, maybe somewhere between the range of a four to a six because it wasn’t offensive or awful in that way. It was just disappointing.
Lee: Yeah.
Rachel: See I can’t even come up with a number? It was just to.
Lee: (laughter)
Rachel: I can’t think of what I would put it as because it’s just- I wanted to turn it off. It was so awkward. and just like- not, it was almost like a whole bunch of clips put together.
Lee: Right.
Rachel: And not almost like a solid movie.
Lee: Right. So you’re at crumpling up the scorecard and throwing it away.
Rachel: Yeah.
Lee: Ok, I gotcha.
ALL: (laughter)
Rachel: I mean, there’s nothing like, too offensive or anything, but it just. Like I can’t
Talia: Yeah, just throw the whole dang script away.
I don’t remember if we could curse on this or not.
Lee: Oh I’ve said shit like five times.
Talia: Oh ok hahaha.
Lee: If we can’t I’m a little screwed.
Madison: We’re about to talk about orgasms so I really don’t know that cursing.
Talia: You know what-
Madison: is really were our level of “don’t say it”‘s gonna be.
Talia: That’s really fair.
Lee: If someone cursed me with orgasms I’d thank them.
ALL: (laughter)
Lee: Go ahead.
Talia: Um.. Yeah. Everyone was going around with grades I’m like, um, oh no, I didn’t think about this before. Um- I want to say 3, 3 was originally what came to mind because I w- I felt like I was either bored or I was extremely anxious.
Lee: Yeah.
Talia: Yeah (laughter)
Lee: I- I’m gonna go with a 3 also because it’s definitely not one notch under neutral. Um
ALL: (laughter)
Lee: But, but really like you guys have said this too that it wasn’t… bad because it was offensive. It was bad because it was a poorly told story and a bad story that I didn’t enjoy. But it was like it was a queer movie and. Yeah. There’s that.
Ok so our next rating isn’t really rating. It’s just was there a happy ending? So consensus for that?
Madison: I think the movie think it had a-, thought it had a happy ending.
Talia: (laughter)
Lee: That’s correct!
Talia: Yeah..
Lee: I’m going to say that’s all we need to say on that.
ALL: (laughter)
Lee: The movie totally thought it was a happy ending, and it.
Rachel: I mean, it was technically like it wasn’t an unhappy ending.
Lee: Yep.
Rachel: But it was,
Madison: It was an unhealthy ending.
Lee: Right.
Lee: Yeah.
Talia: Yeah. That’s what I would say
Lee: There we go. And our last criteria for these movies is going to be death toll because unfortunately, that is something that happens a lot in queer movies. But luckily.. or maybe unluckily, none of the characters died in this movie.
ALL: (laughter)
Lee: And now we’re going to get into spoiler zone. I think.
Talia: It’s time for spoilers, naughty children.
ALL: (laughter)
Lee: Can we add like a whip crack sound to that?
ALL: (laughter)
Lee: Welcome to the spoiler room. Here we are
Madison: I don’t want to call it that.
Lee: The spoiler room.. it’s -.
ALL: (laughter)
Madison: I need to stop looking at you when you speak to me, cause I just can’t do this anymore.
Lee: Ok. From here on out, we’re going to have spoilers. So pause this if you don’t want spoilers. Go watch the movie and then come back and listen to it and be angry with us.
Lee: So now that we’re in the spoiler part, we’re going to give a little bit more in-depth of a synopsis then what Netflix gave because that was a little bit bullshit. Um, that was like one of the storylines that they followed. But so the whole thing is the two main characters, Andi and Lou, are going to be getting married. So it’s following their bachelorette weekend. They have this house that they’ve rented that’s got like with a giant pool and everything. And their friends are coming over to like set up a party and they’re just going to spend the weekend together. The first person we see is Josh, who’s Andi’s friend from childhood. He comes in, he’s setting up the party.
Everyone else comes along and then things go downhill from there. Essentially Lou’d sister doesn’t show up right away. Josh sleeps with her sister when she does show up. They do, Molly. It’s like a shit show. You want to jump into in at all because like, it’s like.
Madison: I think that, it – know, there was no.. They made several small attempts at character development. But for the most part, you didn’t get to know the characters, because their introduction to them was them all walking into a house together and having several conversations at once. So you really didn’t get a good feel of how the people interacted with each other within the room. You are sort of understanding of the people in the relationships together was Lou saying that there was no- nobody in her corner that ended up at the bachelorette party because they were either late
Rachel: except for Helen.
Madison: Except for Helen, who was her friend from work. So it-
Rachel: Which can I point out- It doesn’t even look- seem like Lou even likes Helen. Did anyone get that?
Lee: All the character relationships are extremely uncomfortable because we- we hear very briefly who is like related to who in what ways, And then they really don’t interact in any way that shows that they are- they know each other or are friends.
Rachel: Right. And to me, it always sounded- whenever Lou started talking about Helen, it was always sort of negative.
Lee: I have a lot of issues with Helen’s characterization.
Madison: Yeah, Lee has s- Lee has some deep feelings about Helen, and we haven’t heard any of them because they wanted to save it for this.
Lee: I’m gonna say it now if that’s cool.
Madison: Go ahead. Give us- give us your Helen spiel
Lee: Uh, so the Helen is one of the side characters- she doesn’t really get like a storyline of her own. She’s kind of there as comedic relief um, thinking like, uh, what’s her name in uh, Bridesmaids?
Madison: Melissa McCarthy?
Lee: Yes. Yeah. Um, she kind of plays that sort of character. And why that bothers me is she is like the most butch looking one of the party, like the only one that is.. clearly like, non traditionally feminine. And she is the comedic relief. And she’s also like uncomfortably awkward. And that’s always played for like laughs at her expense. And that’s a very common trait that I see in queer characters that like present outside of their gender in general, but also specifically like women who are butch. And I hate that, A LOT. Um, She’s the only one with like shorter hair. She’s wearing like a button up the first time we see her. And like all of her lines are about how awkward she is and how weird it is. And like how. Like she doesn’t quite fit in there. And it’s just really uncomfortable to see, especially in a movie that’s like centering around two women in a relationship. And like both of them are traditionally feminine. And then their friend, who is not, is like the odd one out. That’s like, oh, we don’t really like Helen, but she’s like fun to be around because she’s weird. And that’s why I hate it.
Talia: Yeah,
Lee: But it’s like it’s also weird because she has some really funny lines, but it’s always at her expense.
Madison: It’s at her expense. But it’s also because- what it is, is her being the comedic relief she carried all of the comedy, I have to say. There were some lines that were funny that other characters said, but all of the setups were for Helen to be the comedic relief. And when no one else in the movie is at all responsive to that, it makes it look like she’s a clown because everyone else is- all of their feelings throughout the whole movie are very serious. So it- that- it feels like a very odd juxtaposition when you pull in, you know, Helen trying to be funny and everyone else is like very somber in the scene.
Lee: That’s why I bring up Melissa McCarthy in Bridesmaids, because it’s it’s really a mirror of that character, because she in that movie is like the more butch one who’s like always dressing like not traditionally feminine and talking in ways that are like, well, what are you talking about? Um, and the jokes are very similar, like the setup. And the payoff is always like, she’s weird, she doesn’t fit in. And we’re laughing at that because she doesn’t know what’s going on and how to react in the situation.
I fucking hate that.
ALL: (laughter)
Madison: I see the fire in your eyes.
Lee: Yeah. No, I have a lot of feelings about that and how like representations of lesbian couples like very rarely show like one or both of them being butch or like at all non feminine in media. They’re usually too traditionally feminine women together, which is the case with this movie.
Madison: And our feelings towards her being like “the weird one” isn’t because, like, it was just an odd script writing and us feeling like she felt very out of place, like it was openly acknowledged in a weird storyline that she and culinary school was known- what was the original one?
Rachel: She was known as weird Helen
Madison: Weird Helen
Rachel: And the other where there was another Helen in their class, and that Hel- the other Helen was known as a regular Helen until one time they were supposed to be making hollandaise.
Lee: Yeah
Rachel: Sauce or whatever and the other regular Hel-
Talia: Quote unquote
Lee: Yeah.
Rachel: Regular. Helen what- like didn’t do it well and then threw a knife, and then she became psycho Helen
Lee: And then weird Helen who is the Helen in the movie that we’re following became regular Helen. But we find out that she’s like in one of the main characters phones is regular Helen because like this is so much a part of who she was that she went from weird to like not as weird as the other one that like that’s still how they refer to her.
Madison: But we need to understand that there’s context to her being the weird character.
Lee: Oh one hundred percent. It’s not just like we’re watching this movie and she was weird to us. It’s framed as her being out of place. Like, she doesn’t pick up on the social cues and like she creates the situations that the audience is supposed to feel awkward about or like.
Madison: She openly announces that there’s tension.
Lee: Right.
Madison: And She thinks that’s weird.
Lee: She’s like the classics like Clueless Sitcom Character who like walks in and is like, “what’s going on?” when clearly there’s something very obviously wrong.
Talia: Yeah.
Madison: So beyond Helen.
Lee: Sorry.
Madison: No!
Lee: Beyond Helen!
Madison: There’s other characters that get, I- You said earlier something about none of the characters feel like they interact with each other. I- That is that is very accurate to how I feel now that you’ve said it. It feels right. It- it feels like they were all kind of existing and like surface value interacting with each other. But nobody had a real conversation with each other.
Lee: Even the main characters didn’t feel like the main characters of the story to me.
Talia: Yeah.
Rachel: Yeah, I felt like it kept switching to like whose story we were supposed to be following. It was so annoying.
Madison: It was too short of a movie to have that many things happening. It really was- It was like, I guess I should have it in front of me, but it’s probably the 90 minute movie and it felt like there were far too many things happening. It’s like when you have too many dishes at Thanksgiving dinner, you can’t have everything on your plate and accurately enjoy any of it.
Rachel: That’s a lie.
ALL: (laughter)
Lee: I enjoy every bit of it.
ALL: (laughter)
Lee: Yeah. And to- and to just like go over if it’s like the main story, you know, loud air quotes for everyone. So you can hear that. The “main story” uh – between the two brides that like, Lou has never had an orgasm like, not even within Andi. And like, that’s a problem for them… and like Lou won’t open up. That’s a story line.
Rachel: The problem with that I found was like apparently they showed it in the beginning, they had sex and she pretended to have an orgasm. So you don’t know.
Madison: I feel like sh- she didn’t even really pretended that scene.
Rachel: Right.
Lee: It was framed – yeah, it, to be clear, it opens up with them having sex.
Rachel: Right.
Lee: And we are like as the audience supposed to see, this is like a very like oh, like they’re a great couple. They’re doing a good thing. Like they’re having fun. And then they go on a run and they’re like all cute together.
Rachel: No they- they ran first and then had sex.
Lee: Oh, right. I’m sorry. But yeah, it like almost opens up with them having sex.
Rachel: Right
Lee: In the movie. And it’s supposed to be like a very cute thing. I think.
Madison: So Andi grew on me further into the movie, but when we were watching the movie, at one point, you mentioned how you liked Andi or felt bad for her and I had a very different reaction to that because I feel like in that first scene where they are having sex, it ends with Andi having an orgasm. But clearly, Lou isn’t very like, like, did not have an orgasm and doesn’t look very into.
Rachel: It didn’t frame that she was supposed to- like she was.
Madison: But Andi felt- it looked- like I, and they they did it did it with some of the lines they were doing in the weird storyline with Josh, I feel like they were trying to frame it as Andi being very like self minded and self-centered and not really paying attention to other people. So when they had it so that Lou, was like not having an orgasm. They had it so that after Andi orgasm when she kind of like- sex was over.
Lee: mhmm
Madison: So, like I. That’s what I was taking out of that, was that like Andi was kind of like a selfish lover and like she had an orgasm she wasn’t paying attention to whether or not her partner had finished.
Lee: mhmm
Madison: So that’s that’s kind of what I got out of that scene that that trailed into when they were at dinner. Um, Lou was telling the story about regular Helen. She and Helen were kind of going back and forth and trading different aspects of that story. But then Andi interrupted and finished it out for her, even though she wasn’t even there. So I- those were the kind of setups that I took out of Andi being like, the overlook- overbearing or like overriding Lou and like taking advantage of the fact that Lou maybe wasn’t as outspoken as she was and sort of like being a little selfish.
Lee: She never came across as selfish to me.
Rachel: Yeah. I never I didn’t get that from Andy. To me, it was more the whole issue was that Lou couldn’t come at Lou…
Lee: Yeah.
Rachel: Yeah, nevermind. For what? Sorry that Lou couldn’t communicate and wouldn’t. And just for whatever reason, just pretended to orgasm from like being there, I guess past experiences. And they’re at their bachelorette. They’re going to be getting married. So how long was this relationship where you were pretending the whole time that like- that’s so, that makes no sense to me that you had to pretend for that long. Like you couldn’t..
Lee: Here’s the thing. It’s – ha,
Madison: Queer’s the thing
Lee: Get it?
ALL: (laughter)
Lee: I- I think like, this movie, the storyline that they were going for could have been really great. It could have been about like opening up to your partner and learning how to communicate. And like also like from Andi’s side, like realizing when something’s wrong with your partner being more in tune with them and like them coming together and coming closer as partners. And like right before their marriage, they’re like, oh, my God, like we realize we haven’t been communicating. Like, what do we do? And they could have just had this great moment where they were like, you know, whatever, talk it out. And they eventually, in the end become so much closer. And now they know this. And like, it could have been funny, like the trailer and like, oh, my God, you’ve never had an orgasm. And clearly, they’re both not OK with this, but then they’re like, OK, well, now we got to work together and figure this out. And then they’re like trying all these stupid like crazy ways to get her to have an orgasm or something like.
I think it could have. It has the potential to be a really fun, cute movie with also like a serious like, story under it. Where, yeah, like not every relationship is perfect just cause, like these two people seem perfect. We also need to like work for it. But it was none of that
Madison: That was really disappointing I think. And this is gonna become- I’m going to say it all the time, and this is gonna become my free square on bingo. It felt like a draft. It really didn’t feel fully realized. And I thi- I think what it is, is because… going along with the fact that none of the characters really seemed to feel like they interacted with each other, they had- there are so many- there are a couple other side characters that we haven’t, And I don’t even know if we should go into there like sideline stories because they’re really not important to what should have been out of the movie. And what happened is… like, even when all of these problems were realize they sort of went, even Andi tried to get it so that Lou, like, would talk to her about what was going on, like Andy, where I really started to like her again and maybe like realized that my perception of her from beginning movie is different is that she ackno- like she had a moment of denial. And then her friend called her out on it.
Lee: Right
Madison: And then she immediately went into the zone where it was like, OK, what can I do to fix this? What am I doing wrong?
Lee: We see her researching on her laptop, like, “how do you make a girl orgasm”?
Madison: She clearly realizes that she is maybe not doing her best or that like, she- she- there’s sort of this point-
Lee: She takes on the responsibility.
Madison: She takes on the level of responsibility that she should be responsible for. She calls out Lu for letting. For not telling her like let it- saying like, how can I know that there’s a problem if you don’t tell me there’s a problem? And they have that moment. But then after that’s acknowledged and Lu kind of is like, you’re right. I should’ve told you. Or like now, you know,.
Rachel: Lou you never really had that moment until the very end. Lou ran away from the problem.
Lee: Literally.
Madison: But Lu ran away after Andi was like, I want to fix this. Like, how can I help you fix this? And they did end up having sex, which ended in a really confusing way. Tha- because.. Andi was going down on Lou and had an orgasm in the middle of it. And Lou got.. mad! Which- I know Lee was confused about because we had comments about it during the movie.
Lee: Cause I’d take that is a big compliment.
ALL: (laughter)
Lee: No one was even touching Andi. (laughter)
But ah- ah- it just backtracked any progress that movie could have made towards them being like, “OK, now we’re going to work this out together.” It was like, “oh, it didn’t work out the one time we tried.” And that Lou is angry again at- Lou pisses me off.
Rachel: Yeah. I didn’t like Lu.
Madison: And then Lu ran away for like 20 minutes and went and sat and looked at the river and several like, you know, her sister came and talked to her and her sister had her own thing happening with divorce and all of that. And there was a bunch of drama that was happening with her and other people in the house.
Lee: I would just like to list off the other side stories that happen because we’re talking about this as if like the whole movie is focused on that. No, no, no. Maybe 20 minutes of the movie actually discussed this problem,.
Madison: Even though that’s what I wanted the whole movie to be
Lee: All of the other storylines we have, uh, Andi’s friend Josh, who that she’s known since childhood, is a complete creep and asshole, and is hitting on like everyone at this party and has been in love with Andy for years. I say love loosely- has been like lusting after Andy for years. Um, He’s- he sleeps with Lu’s sister during the bachelorette party. He’s not doing a great job at being, like, a host of the bachelorette party. He, like, insults them during his speech. Then there is Nikki, who is Lu’s sister, who is getting divorced from her husband, sleeps with Josh, shows up late to the bachelorette party. Isn’t like there for Lou until the very end where she’s like sort of trying to be buddy-buddy with her. And then the other two friends. What are their names? I- They were barely even in it.
Talia: Vivian
Madison: Their names are Vivian and Kárin.
Rachel: Kárin
Lee: Vivian and Kárin.
Talia: Yeah.
Lee: Um, They could basically not have been in the movie and it wouldn’t have changed
Talia: Yeah, I feel like
Rachel: Definitely, Vivian. 100% could have like- barely was there?
Talia: Yeah.
Rachel: Like, didn’t it have a real role.
Madison: I don’t think Kárin did either.
Talia: Yeah.
Rachel: Kárin had more of a presence though.
Madison: Kárin made out with Helen. That was about it.
Rachel: Yeah. No, but there was the whole thing like, the fact that, s- like, like she’s some I guess singer? And she like was on tour and she’s singing at their – the dinner and then she also sang- she did that whole song at the poolside. And that went on way too long. It just didn’t make sense.
Talia: Yeah. Kárin was like their friend who is supposed to like it’s- Like people, it’s never directly stated if she’s like a pop star or something, but people are constantly asking her, oh are you on tour? Please sing for us and stuff like that. And she has scenes where she literally sings for them. One of them is in a public restaurant.
Lee: (laughter)
Talia: This is awkward for everybody involved. And the second one is like,
Madison: Including us.
Talia: And she does an entire song and the cinematography- it takes so long that the cinematography decides that, you know, you can’t look at the characters anymore and it has to pan to the sky.
Rachel: It was almost like it was like a music video.
Talia: Yeah.
Lee: Yeah. I thought they were going to break into a music video.
Talia: Like I was watching it, and I was like, I wonder if they filmed this specifically so they could use the music video as promotional material. That was my first thought when I saw that scene. Vivienne had like a weird part in the story, mainly that weird part being that she didn’t at all. And then
ALL: (laughter)
Talia: Throughout the course of the movie, each character has like at a certain point basically a confessional about what their first orgasm was like, what had happened, etc.. And like, Vivian has a very.. deep story. She does not go very far into it, but she talks about um, there is implied sexual trauma there. And um..
Rachel: When she was very young.
Lee: Vivian and Kárin both had that.
Talia: Yeah. Both of them.
Lee: In their stories. Yeah.
Talia: But Kárin, Kárin and her confessional actually goes ahead to say like. “But that’s how I express it through my music. And it’s given me a sense of power I have reclaimed that for myself.” Whereas Vivian doesn’t have anything going on for her in the story, and her confessional is the only glimpse into her character, you get. The only other time- like things that she really does in the narrative is talk to Andi. And Andi tells her basically anytime they talk, oh, you’re lusting after Josh and that’s the only interaction they have.
Lee: Yeah.
Rachel: Yeah.
Lee: It’s extremely unfortunate. And to talk more about those interviews, the characters are standing in front of scenery that we don’t see anywhere else in the movie. It’s like it’s a completely different location. The only detail I like about it is that the wallpaper behind them has two female moose nuzzling each other. And it’s like that’s a good- that’s like a nice little detail.
Madison: I didn’t even notice that..
Lee: Yeah it was two female moose cause neither of them have antlers. Um, but everything else I hated because-
ALL: (laughter)
Lee: It was like talking head interviews, like we’ve we’ve said like in the style, like The Office or Parks and Rec where we just like jump cut away from the action to a slide of the character’s name and then them talking about the first time they had an orgasm. And it doesn’t fit with the tone of the movie?
Talia: Yeah.
Lee: At least to me, it didn’t. It felt like it was trying to be way more serious about like how different people have sexual awakenings. And it was really interesting. I thought, I kind of thought that was.
Madison: Those are my favorite parts of the movie.
ALL: Yeah.
Lee: Those were the best parts of the movie.
Rachel: Definitely
Lee: And I was like, if they’d made this either way, more focused on that, about like YOUR sexual awakening or way more of a comedy, it would have been great.
But it was stuck between those two in a very weird way where we’re like talking about these people who’ve had sexual trauma and then laughing at like people smoking weed.
Talia: Yeah
Lee: It was weird. It was very strange.
Madison: They also went nowhere. There was no- we were given no relief.
Lee: Yeah.
Madison: Of like, is- We were talking about this earlier before we recorded, um, that.. there could have been some very cute ways to like incorporate it back into like being like, you know, these confessionals being a gift to the brides and stuff like that. But we- they they were out of place, but in – there wasn’t even a glimpse at the end of the movie that like what they were for, where like, “oh, it makes sense that these characters were doing these confessionals. Now I get it.” But it was, they were- they were just there.
Lee: They’re very out of place.
Rachel: Right?
Talia: Yeah.
Rachel: It’s almost like- I’ve sort of been thinking about it. And it’s almost like.. if you look at it as like, you’re another person at the party, you’re the one with the camera and you’re the one talking to these people.
Lee: That’s how it felt.
Rachel: Right?
Talia: Yeah.
Rachel: And it’s like I don’t know. It just makes it weird. It’s just weird.
Talia: Yeah. You had mentioned that it sort of felt like if like you were at a party with a bunch of people you would never met and you’re watching them all interact and have their own drama.
Lee: Yeah it- it, from like the first scene where we see all the characters together. It gives the dialogue and the way that the characters interact. And the like, the the camera angles, everything makes you feel like you’re standing in the corner because you’ve never spoken to any of these people before. You don’t know them. Everything is uncomfortable because they clearly have previous tension and you’re just like backing towards the door, like, please let me out of here. And I like I really wanted to leave the room at certain points when we were watching this movie. Second hand discomfort,.
Madison: 15 minutes in, I, in my head. I was like, is this even worth like, should we switch to a different movie? Like, is this worth this time?
Lee: NO! This is why we have to review these things.
Madison: I know…
Lee: Because everyone else is going to see that cute trailer and be like “oh look a like fun lil lesbian movie.”
Madison: I think the big disappointing thing about this movie and why I have such a huge problem with the differentiation between the trailer and the actual film is that the movie… tried really hard to have these small, intimate moments where they talk about important things. Specifically, the word that they- that was really the key word that they kept using was- was “safe.” They.. whenever people sort of having side conversations where they talk about how they feel while having sex or how they feel while having orgasms or when they’re talking to Lu about sort of how she can project herself more and ask for what she wants, the key word of their story of how they relate to her was how they feel safe during sex and what made them feel safe or empowered. And I think they tried to make that the theme. And it really it didn’t come together in any way because there was a bunch of small stories about that or we heard about that in the confessional, but not in the context of the characters together.
Lee: Right.
Madison: And it- it just made it very disjointed. And you didn’t actually f- When Lu was supposedly at the end got- got it! and had her big aha moment, it felt undeserved because half of the “safe stories” or the things that should have empowered her, were not mentioned to her or weren’t mentioned to any of the other characters besides you behind the camera.
Rachel: See, the problem that I had with like the word “safe” was because, again, going back to Lu and Andi and communication, Lou apparently doesn’t feel safe with Andi and doesn’t feel safe, like, while they’re having sex. And to me, it’s like, why are you with a person? Why are you not telling this person like you don’t feel safe with them. If you don’t feel safe with them why would you even stay with this person long enough to the point that you’re engaged and getting married?
Lee: Yeah, it- it was. It felt like a very unhealthy way to present that because in the end, they do get married and they’re like, oh, this is just like a thing that like.. IS and they don’t really work out their problem and they don’t ever say that they’re really going to. It’s just kind of like.. this is a thing that we have. And I’ll talk about it, more. But like, let’s just shrug it off for now and get married.
Madison: They literally say “it’s not a big deal.”
Lee: Yeah, it’s it’s not like, “oh, my God, a realization that we don’t feel safe with each other. Either we need to fix this, We should talk about it, or like we’re not meant to be together.
Like there’s no discussion that happens with that. It- the resolution that they give is, uh, “let’s just not let’s just not talk about it. Let’s just not do more of this,”.
Madison: Which is so crazy to me. And I’m gonna continue to use the word disappointing, which is really just like the key word of how we should feel about the movie, because the concept of it, you know, not giving your, it b- like it being hard or not having the communication to give your partner an orgasm, especially in a lesbian relationship like I think that’s something I haven’t heard having a big discussion. And the fact that that was supposed to be the main discussion of a movie is exciting and that’s awesome, that’s a topic that definitely should be talked about.
Lee: Right
Madison: So when your resolution is that one of the characters gives up and wants to be with this person regardless and doesn’t think it’s a big deal to me, the idea- like the movie wants you to think that she had development because she got into a screaming match with her girlfriend to s- or her fiancee, to say, to quote, give herself a voice. But the resolution is that she doesn’t care to like give importance to her voice, which is, you know, the importance of her not having an orgasm. So I it’s it’s it’s the movie itself thinks it’s triumphant, but the way it does, it is failing itself.
Lee: It’s like jerking itself off ironically.
Rachel: Like her conclusion was basically yelling- Lu is yelling at Andi being like, “you’re a bitch. I want a dog together. We’re getting married.”
Lee: Those are real words.
Rachel: And our kids will be messed up.
Lee: Yup
Talia: Yeah.
Lee: Those are actual words. Rachel is not exaggerating.
Rachel: Those actual word that were said
Lee: And everyone applauds this.
Talia: Yeah. Andi cries and they hug and she’s like, so.. happy about it.
Lee: Finally you yelled at me.
Talia: Yeah! Like literally, that’s kind of how it ends. I have- like I’ve been sitting here, likes stewing this, trying to figure out what
Lee: I can feel it
Talia: the best way to like say this is like all three of you like don’t like Lu. I have sympathy and like empathy for Lu. A lot of it, I think, um, especially because I feel like in that scene where Andi finally calls her out and is like, well, let’s talk about it. Obviously, communication there is bad. But Andi is in like….Like what genuinely looks like a dissociative state.
Lee: Yeah.
Talia: Because, like, she doesn’t know how to deal with this problem. This is the first time they’re having the conversation and they should have had it like earlier. But like the dynamic between the couples that Andy is selfish and thinks of herself. And Lu doesn’t know how to stand up for herself because she knows Andi is selfish. And it’s like I feel like Lou is not developed enough as a character, even though she is the main character outside of Andy in the story. Like, they don’t. They do not go into her backstory except for like a little bit. She apparently she has like had sex with other women, but she doesn’t really talk about it, you know?
Rachel: No.
Madison: No Andy’s her first girl.
Talia: Really? She said like
Rachel: She’s had sex with guys. “But you were my first girl.”.
Talia: Okay, yeah. So like and she was like, this has always, like, been a problem. I know that, like, rung some bells for me as an ace person. I was like, oh, cool. And I was like, because I like I related to that aspect. And I know it’s not necessarily like the same feeling, but I felt like. There was something about it that was like, I know they definitely did not do it on purpose, but it felt Ace coded to me and I was like, that’s me. And especially because they were going for that code word “safe”, like communication goes both ways. Shouting at your partner and telling them to grow up- which is how Andi tries to handle the situation- actually, like doesn’t help anybody because if somebody doesn’t feel safe with you, like that’s just going to propel them further into it. So it’s a whole big mess.
Rachel: Well, that’s how I don’t- that why I don’t even understand how they even got to this point.
Talia: Yeah.
Lee: I think – I totally… I don’t want to.. make this sound like I disliked Lu’s.. character.
Talia: No, you can say that.
Lee: No, no, no. Well, I think I don’t like how.. she came out on the screen. I think the intention behind her was good.
Talia: Yes.
Lee: Because I-I- I do. I very much understand that feeling of like I got to keep this inside because putting it out there will cause more problems. This is something that I personally have to deal with. I don’t want to make it someone else’s problem. Like. Like, I shouldn’t tell this person this even though, like, that’s that’s her partner. Like, I get that feeling. And I think that’s a very interesting thing for a character to deal with on screen. But it wasn’t presented in the correct way.
Talia: Yes.
Lee: It it was like.. it was shown as a thing that was like a she was doing selfishly for like quote unquote, no reason in the movie. Whereas they could have given it that that meaning behind it. Where like it- again, they needed to make it either more of a serious movie or more of a comedy.
Talia: Yeah.
Lee: Because if you made this a serious movie, then show her having trauma and show her having this like repression issue where she feels like she has to deal with everything herself. That’s a fucking relatable thing. Like DO that.
Talia: Yeah.
Lee: Or make it a comedy. “Oh my god. She can’t have an orgasm?? Like we’re going to get married soon. Like you can’t go around telling people that. Let’s go, like have a bunch of sex and like do stupid things and try to get you to have an orgasm like… one way or the other.
Talia: Yeah
Lee: And they went right down the middle and hit no emotion.
Talia: Yeah.
Rachel: Right.
Talia: Yeah exactly
Lee: Like I. I don’t hate what they could have done with her the way you’re describing her. I would have loved to watch that movie.
Talia: Yeah.
Lee: That’s not what I feel like they showed us.
Talia: I agree with that, yeah
Lee: That’s what like, the intention could have been.
Talia: Yeah. But-but like, that’s why it makes me mad.
Lee: Yeah.
Talia: Is it like, just the fact that she’s supposed to be one of the main characters of this movie.
Lee: Yeah.
Talia: And I personally feel like her sister, who is like I’m pretty sure her sister is supposed to be straight in the movie?
Lee: I think so
Madison: Yes
Rachel: Yeah
Talia: I’ve felt like gotten more character development and actual like look into her problem than she did.
Lee: Well let’s talk about that too.
Talia: Yes!
Lee: A lot of the like, straight characters get like big long stories that super cut away time chunks from like, the.. main characters. It’s like fucking Josh is in like every scene. Josh, who once again is Andi’s friend from childhood, gets like into every scene and is always hitting on someone in a very uncomfortable, disturbing way to watch and gets a whole storyline about how he was in love with Andi and how he’s fucking Lu’s sister and gets this whole big thing. And what was her name? Vivian kind of wanted his attention and
Madison: They used- Vivian and him used to be a thing.
Lee: Yeah
Madison: They used to have like a lot of casual sex and then they broke it off.
Lee: And he is.. (sigh) I-I-I was very uncomfortable watching his character on screen.
Madison: He felt the most out of place. I. To be honest, if he wasn’t there and Helen was, I would have been like, these characters don’t know how to interact with each other, but I wouldn’t have been uncomfortable.
Lee: Yeah
Madison: Whereas he physically made me uncomfortable. There is a scene, so it is slowly leaked out that Nicky, who’s Lu’s sister, is getting a divorce. Like you learn, you- you come in and she and Josh have this weird exchange at dinner and then they’re talking about it late night in the kitchen and she starts crying on the couch and she lets it slip to him that she- does she say she’s getting divorced at that point?
Rachel: Yeah.
Talia: Yeah she does
Madison: She tells him she’s getting divorced. And then a- she,
Rachel: They cry. She cries.
Madison: She cries, And then.
Rachel: And he like, embraces her
Madison: He’s trying to comfort her. And I felt- that was my- I didn’t like him. And then I immediately hated him and felt uncomfortable because like during the kiss, he puts his face on her shoulder. I mean, during the kiss, (laughter) I am getting to that. During the hug
Lee: We were led to believe that he’s trying to comfort her.
Madison: During this hug he like- the way he puts his face on her- she is wearing some sort of spaghetti strap, tank top or dress or something. He, like, he like puts his lips on our shoulder.
Lee: Yeah.
Madison: And it- I was like, oooh
Lee: and he moves to her neck, and then they kiss
Madison: He then moves to her neck and then he kisses her. And they have this weird make out scene and she like- the, he starts like taking off her shirt and she gets insecure about it. And.. he- she tells- she says that the insecurity is like, “I had two kids, I breastfed them.” And then the way him immediately is like, “oh, I don’t care.” Like it’s so like he’s ready to jump on her. He did- like that doesn’t matter, I like a real woman. But he says it in such a quick, creepy way.
Lee: He’s saying anything to get her to sleep with him basically.
Madison: Yes.
Talia: Yeah.
Lee: But that- that wasn’t the first time he made me uncomfortable.
Talia: Yeah
Lee: Because the whole dinner scene happens before that.
Madison: Right. Yeah.
Lee: The bachelorette party goes out to like, oh what it looks like a nice dinner. It’s like in an outdoor patio space and there’s like oh whatever- it’s supposed be sort of fancy and they’re giving toasts to the brides. And he goes off about how like Lu came out of nowhere and he was always friends with Andi and like, he kind of like had a claim to her. And like, who is even Lu? And it doesn’t seem like they have a good relationship because they broke up once in the past and now they’re getting together. And like- I don’t know- that’s, that’s a big moment. But there are several other lines where he casually creeps on people in a way that’s like way too familiar to be funny.
Madison: Yeah.
Talia: Yeah.
Lee: If that makes sense.
Madison: I guess like I- the- I felt like the scene on the couch with Nikki was where he took action to being creepy, whereas before that it was all these weird lines.
Lee: That’s action!
Madison: I guess. Yeah.
Lee: He’s saying that shit, and he knows
Madison: Another thing about Josh is that he.. he is the one that called Andi out on being a little selfish, which they did set up for that. In that even though Lu not telling her that she isn’t orgasming is the problem, like Andi- they did try to set up Andi as being a mildly selfish character so that is part of it. So Josh is thought on calling Andi out on being selfish, and his way of doing that is to tell her that he’s been in love with her for like 20 years. And, she’s like, “why are you unloading this shit on me? I’m getting married. That’s insane.” And then he transitions into, well, this is my way of letting you know that you are blind to everyone around you-like you’re not paying attention. And it’s used as- it’s ignored after that because it’s used as a moment that like Andi’s having this realization that she hasn’t been paying attention to her girlfriend, that she should have- or whatnot. But it’s- it’s a really shitty moment coming from Josh for like, rather than just telling your friend and pointing it out, you have to relate it back to the fact that you’re in love with them.
Lee: Yeah, I, I guess what I really don’t like about Josh’s and is especially in a queer movie, is the fact that he is completely gross and completely misogynistic and like homophobic in the way that like he’s sexualizes Andi. And like, his talking head interview about his first orgasm, he doesn’t even talk about his first orgasm. He talks about how when he and Andi were young, he would like get off to the idea of things that Andi would tell him about her, like emerging sexuality and about how like she would like a girl or like talk about like, “oh, yeah, like I, like, looked at the girl’s boobs today and she looked at me or whatever,” and he would get off to that, I guess-
Rachel: But he also said that like- that’s still all it takes.
Lee: Yeah! Yeah- Like it’s not something that like he’s grown from, he like he is still like that. And I don’t like the fact that in a queer movie where the two main characters are like two women getting married, that that is a character that’s not like ostracized for- Like we’re not supposed to dislike Josh, really. He’s just a quirky friend of theirs and they are all still friends with him, and it’s not-
Madison: We’re supposed to think Helen is the weird one.
Lee: Right! Right. Yeah, exactly. He- he isn’t the source of like, “oh my god, this guy again,” he’s just there as part of the movie. Like- I don’t know.
Talia: Yeah
Lee: Maybe that was just me.
Rachel: Yeah, but the- the thing is also I just thought of that, it seems like this has happened before.
Lee: Oh yeah.
Rachel: Where it’s like- because at one point Andi says “Josh fucked things up again” or something like that. Or “Josh fucked something again.”
Lee: Yeah. It’s something everyone accepts.
Rachel: Right.
Lee: It’s like “That’s just Josh being”- It’s like “boys will be boys” to the extreme. And- and they’re still friends with him. It’s not like, “oh, I had to invite this guy- like he’s my cousin” or whatever. Like there wasn’t some excuse and we’re supposed to hate him,.
Rachel: Right.
Lee: He is their friend and we’re supposed to get that. And I don’t.
Talia: Yeah
Madison: No
Lee: A lot
Rachel: Especially something like what happened at- that- at The Bachelorette has happened before. Like, why? Why continue?
Madison: It almost feels mildly unrealistic. And this may just be-
Lee: Mildly??
Madison: No, but it just may- just be like the queer spaces that I live within with you guys and stuff like that. But like, no group of lesbians would put up with a straight white guy like that to that degree.
Talia: Yeah
Madison: Like, they’d be like, “You’re a fucking creep. Get out.” Like you- like- I don’t, like that felt very weird to me, like. And I guess it’s- it might be the childhood friend thing, but I think the reason why it feels so like- like the reason why I think it wouldn’t happen is like I can see Andi making excuses for that, although she doesn’t seem like a person who would like do that, so that seems odd, but like none of her other friends seem to like on the side dislike him.
Lee: No, they’re all presented as like people with their heads on their shoulders, like, you know, know where they are in life and who they are and very confident people- maybe be except for Nikki. And like, none of that makes sense that they would tolerate that. They’re all- they all just like at most roll their eyes at it. The biggest reaction he gets is when he gives his bad speech, people are like, “stop, stop, stop.” But that’s it. Then it’s just like, “OK.” He- then he finishes up in like a good way. And they’re like, “yeah. Yeah. There you go.”
Rachel: He’s like, “my point is that you guys are good together.”.
Lee: Yeah. Yeah.
Rachel: After saying that they broke up and it was such a bad time for Andi.
Lee: The last thing I want in a queer movie is to have to deal with like, the shit that men do every day.
ALL: (laughter)
Madison: I deal with that enough. I really don’t. I really don’t need to see that.
Lee: I ride public transport every day.
ALL: (laughter)
Madison: We live in New York.
Lee: Yeah. Uh – yup. Final thoughts, I guess, because I’m glad that we ended on bitching about Josh.
Talia: (laughter)
Madison: Honestly, that probably could have been the whole time.
Lee: That- Yeah I could talk for another hour about that.
Madison: So I think sort of our wrap up should be whether or not we would recommend this movie and why.
Lee: Go ahead.
Madison: I get conflicted because I, I go off of what I wanted the trailer to be. I would watch it if you want to see sort of a failed discourse in talking about like the problems in female relationships regarding orgasms, like if you want to start a conversation about what could have been with this movie, I think it’s great. But I think if you’re I- if you’re looking for a movie to enjoy, this is absolutely not your cup of tea.
Lee: (laughter) I’m sorry (laughter) If you’re looking for an enjoyable experience, this isn’t it.
Madison: I- it’s true. That’s how I feel. I- This was the most bland two hours of my life. Like, I only felt uncomfortable or bored or annoyed, but like, I don’t recommend it if you’re looking to be happy in your life,
Lee: (laughter)
Madison: But if you’re looking to have a serious conversation, like watch it and then hit me up and let me know what you thought.
Lee: (deep breath) Rachel
Rachel: Um, Honestly, the main reason I watch movies is to enjoy them. So no, I would not recommend.
Madison: (laughter)
Lee: HEATHEN
Madison: We’re very dif- Rachel we’re very different people.
Rachel: So no, I would not recommend watching the movie, especially because to me, I- my three main feelings was boredom, like, um, annoyance and like just awkward. I just felt awkward through most of it. And to me, like my take away from the movie is just it was a whole bunch of toxic relationships and I’m just not about that.
Talia: There isn’t too much I can say, but hasn’t been said already. Um, I just didn’t enjoy it and it made me upset.
Lee: This movie feels like your kid’s sculpture project.
Madison: (laughter)
Lee: No, no, no, like you put it out on your mantle and it’s a good conversation piece, not because it’s good, but because people are like, hey, uh, what the hell’s that? And it like it has potential, because you know what they were getting at- like it was supposed to be a cat. It really was.
Madison: (laughter)
Lee: But it’s just not a cat. That I- I- I don’t I don’t.
Rachel: Is there a reason you picked cat…?
Lee: I’m looking at a greeting card with a cat on it.
Madison: (laughter)
Rachel: Oh
Lee: On a mantle.
Madison: Not the hot dog with the googley eyes??
Talia: UM, not the minion card?
Madison: Oh god, I didn’t know he was behind me
Lee: Theres a lot- theres a lot of greeting cards in front of me right now. No, I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t recommend it. Which is sad, because if it’s what it could have been, I would have remocc- recommended that movie.
Madison: Yeah.
Lee: I don’t recommend this one
Madison: I presented the trailer to you with, like, bright and shiny eyes, like, hey. Oh My God. Here’s this thing. It’s about orgasms. Like, let’s talk about it. And then I’m coming out of this movie like, yeah, Netflix would just get rid of it and bring friends back or some shit.
Lee: UH Netflix should not get rid of it, though, because when we were scrolling, I- when we scrolled, singular scroll, through their like, gay and lesbian movie section, there were like maybe 10 options that weren’t documentaries. And so many of them were sad.
Madison: Yeah..
Lee: And it was an ace and actively sad queer movie, which is good. It.. tried to do the right thing, which is good. Rachel almost sneezed, but didn’t which is good.
ALL: (laughter)
Rachel: Don’t call me out like that
Lee: I did
Talia: Please Rachel I am wearing the headphones for the sound system
Lee: (demonic sneeze noise) Yeah it just- it missed like every mark that it put on the list. It’s like the checkmarks are on the back of the page.
ALL: (laughter)
Madison: And then that page was burned or lost
Lee: Yeah
Madison: Someone forgot what the guest- gift list was. It’s gone.
Lee: It really is upsetting though. Like I kind of want people to watch it to understand what we’re talking about because you see the potential it could have. It’s on Netflix. So like go for it if you have Netflix. It’s not hard to find. But..
Madison: Yeah, go ahead. Watch The Feels. Let us know what you think.
Lee: Well, I- maybe watch The Feels (laughter) None of us recommended it.
Madison: Yeah, but..
Lee: We want people to bitch about it with us
Rachel: No, No, Madison recommend it.
Madison: I reccomended it for conversation reasons.
Lee: Yeah. The sad cat mantelpiece.
Madison: Yes.
Rachel: Yeah.
Madison: I recommend it for the sad cat mantelpiece situation.
Lee: Yeah.
Madison: But really nothing else. It wasn’t enjoyable in any way.
Lee: Yeah
Rachel: I mean ok. Put it this way, if you’ve watched all the other queer movies on Netflix and this is your last one, then go ahead watch it
Madison: This is your last resort movie?
Rachel: Yeah
Lee: If you’ve watched all three of the other movies on Netflix
Madison: But also, I have to point out. I think you have way too much of an underestimation of how bad the rest of these movies on Netflix are.
Rachel: Oh, maybe yeah, I haven’t watched many of them..yet
Madison: Like I have a feeling this is in- like- I feel like, this is in, like the like, Definitely like the like, runner up category to be real. I don’t think we’re getting s- like, much better than this.
Lee: Yeah
Rachel: You’re, you’re right. You’re right.
Lee: Well hey! Great first episode, guys!
Madison: Yeah
ALL: (laughter)
Lee: We started with a real doozy.
ALL: (laughter)
Madison: Hopefully it’ll get better.
Lee: We real- we really know how to pick em
ALL: (laughter)
Lee: And, I guess. Oh, we didn’t talk about this but I’m just going to say, like if anyone has movies that they want us to watch because you don’t want to watch them and be sad about it, fuckin send them to our email or tweet them at us. Uh, Madison, what is our email and Tweetter? (laughter)
Madison: We have a contact form up on our website. So our Twitter is @qttpodcast and our email is queerthething@gmail.com.
Lee: Sweet. So send us the movies that you- you kinda of want to watch, but your little gay heart just can’t handle the emotion.
ALL: (laughter)
Lee: We’ll filter it for you.
Madison: We’re here to filter your queer movies.
Rachel: Yeah. Let us know your suggestions.
Talia: Byeee
Lee: (laughter) We already said that dude
