Believe it or not...

FYI: I HAVE THIS AIR FRESHNER THAT GOES OFF EVERY 45 MINUTES, and I got a new mic from my boyfriend sooooo you can hear it lmao. Although I got rid of background noise while editing. I love this podcast more than I love redoing those small moments. This is a good one. 

The first episode to last over an hour deals with Alfred Hitchcock, who is widely regarded to be one of the greatest directors of all time -- including to me. Enjoy, anddddd Merry Christmas. I pronounce mise-en-scene like a Californian. Also… Did you get my Grammarly joke? Because everyone uses Grammarly, lmao. I am back, “sometimes.” As I edited this back, I was like, “wow, I am so excited about Knives Out.” This is the most exciting podcast to date, and I am very pumped... that's why I talk so much. :)

Covered

1. Alfred Hitchcock (1899 - 1980);
2. Clue (Lynn 1985);
3. "And Then There Were Fewer" (Family Guy, 2010; S9, E1);
4. Knives Out (Johnson 2019)

Welcome back friends, season two, and better than ever. A long 'un with some calm, soothing voice sounds to celebrate the premiere of whatever season I choose to be on. What a life. I have no organization for this podcast, see ya on the flip side.

OOHHHHH, I don't go in-depth about the marketing of Jennifer's Body (2009) enough, but my friend Yhara does and incredibly fucking well -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llQ_OpOl7Qg; this does it a better service than I did and I believe her interview about her wanting to do Jen's Body is referenced. I have seen that video a million times since it's been put uppppp.

I called my new mic “smoothing” which is now a new-formed word, “smooth” and “soothing” and I dig it so here I am. new mic, new me. TRIGGER WARNING: I talk about feminism and Megan Fox and Hollywood and sexism and all the terrible things you associate Hollywood with, right? Not really so much all of those in-depth, but in comparison to Megan Fox.

For some reason, I swear A LOT in this podcast, more than usual - so beware. I use the f-bomb, which I usually don’t use, I just love Megan damn Fox, okay? I was never a fan of the Olsen Twins so this passed me by in 2001, Holiday in the Sun (2001) is the film I reference as her first. In turn, the Zac Efron show is Down to Earth with Zac Efron on Netttyflix, an incredible show. You truly get another look at who he is as a person and a human being.

Honestly: I ALWAYS PRONOUNCE HIATUS WRONG, I have a hard time pronouncing words -- I have a weird tongue from my great-grandma and mom, so I deal with it. I don't realize it until I have edited the podcast and by then I am so lazyyyyy. But I know how it is pronounced, I just forget. Sorrrrrry. I just deal with it, hopefully, you can too. I literally pronounce it incorrectly every day of my life and no one corrects me because they understand my weird tongue... but I have a degree in English I promise lmao.

What makes 'teen girl comedies' so nostalgic? Why do we love films like Clueless, To All The Boys, and 10 Things I Hate About You so much?

i pronounce things weirdly, sorry if this upsets you. i mostly do it on purpose because i feel as an english degree-haver it is my duty to always pronounce things incorrectly for the fun of it. i once convinced multiple someones that all animals have a singular version like "cacti." I'm a terrible person... so i say "cancellization" on purpose. i am full aware it is cancellation. I'm just having fun on a podcast, as i don't spend hours or have 1000 dollars worth of fancy equipment. i just have fun with it. you don't need those things either. just have fun with it. not everything needs a whole "set up." enjoy! have fun, be you because you are awesome. i talk about freaks and geeks today, a short one but a good one.

ACTUALLY i don't think i swear in this podcast??? do i??? omg what an achievement, i swear literally all the time.

TRIGGER WARNING. Since I mention a few things I want to make sure y'all feel safe. I talk about the topics in both shows which are alluded to mental health, pregnancy, etc. Howeva, two of my faves honestly. I am so excited about publishing/recording this. Had A LOT of fun and yes... my voice still does crack, it gets dry what am I to do about it? I mean, if you know... then you know.
