Tara, why don't you take us away?

1:00

Alrighty? So, Rory and Laurlai

1:03

have just been introduced to Charlotte, Emily

1:05

and Richard's house. Rory says, you

1:07

know, Charlotte's Web is one of my favorite books.

1:09

Lorla says, spiders talking to pigs.

1:12

What could be better than that? Charlott's

1:14

Webb is a children's book written by E. B. White

1:16

and is considered a classic. The book

1:19

was adapted into an animated feature

1:21

and a live action film, And did

1:23

you Know In Charlotte's web. In the live action movie,

1:25

there were forty seven Wilbers

1:28

on set because the piglets grew up

1:30

so fast.

1:31

You can you imagine

1:33

being the pig wrangler.

1:35

No, there's a lot of pigs.

1:37

That's a lot of piglets.

1:39

Lot.

1:41

Charlotte is explaining why she missed

1:43

the table manner session for

1:45

the summer Cotillion. Charlotte, I'm awfully sorry about

1:47

that, Missus Gilmore. My grandparents took me to

1:49

account Basie tribute at Tanglewood.

1:53

Count Basie was a jazz pianist,

1:57

organist, bandleader, and composer.

1:59

Nineteen thirty five, formed the Count Basie

2:01

Orchestra and performed with them for over fifty

2:04

years, at the very top.

2:06

The zenith of that business.

2:08

Did you know? Count Basie's most famous

2:10

collaborators included Frank Sinatra

2:12

and Tony Bennett. Bassi's

2:15

orchestra performed with Sinatra several

2:18

times. What

2:20

a man, what a time.

2:22

I think you should do the next one too, except your.

2:24

Alley really yeah, all

2:27

right too in a row. I mean

2:29

we're breaking president here I go. I will

2:31

need extra pay.

2:33

Just letting you know.

2:35

Rory is helping tutor at Paris's

2:38

sat Prep program. When the

2:40

timer goes off Paris, that's it pencils

2:42

down. That means you, Casanova, time is up everyone

2:45

else, unless your parents want to start paying

2:47

overtime, which for many of you might be a good

2:49

idea. A Jacomo Casanovo

2:52

was a Venetian who lived from seventeen

2:55

twenty five to seventeen ninety

2:57

eight. He was an adventure and author. He became known

2:59

as a ladies man. In his memoir,

3:01

he wrote that he made love to

3:04

one hundred and thirty two

3:06

women hardly, hardly

3:08

Wilt Chamberlain's standards. That's like Wilt

3:10

Chamberlain in one in a month.

3:12

I never knew his first name was Jakomo.

3:14

Though, Oh no, you know, I didn't

3:17

either. I thought it was Fred.

3:19

His memoir has been turned into many

3:22

film adaptations starring Heath

3:24

Ledger, Tony Curtis, Bob

3:27

Hope, Donald Sutherland. I think

3:29

that Donald Sutherland was Bob

3:31

Hope, Fellini Bob

3:33

Hope. Not to be right,

3:35

that's not, yeah,

3:38

it's not.

3:39

You would normally think God.

3:41

To Sully the great name of Bob Hope.

3:43

But yet, what Casanova? Did

3:49

you know that Casanova achieved celebrity

3:51

status by mingling with famous people

3:54

and making himself the subject of gossip.

3:57

He hobnobbed with Voltaire, Catherine

3:59

the Gray, and Benjamin

4:02

Franklin. Well, wow,

4:05

isn't he special

4:08

anyway? I think, Amy, it's this

4:10

one. Let's know, I want to do this one.

4:12

I was going to say this one is better for you

4:14

too.

4:15

It really truly is, because I've actually read

4:17

Henry Miller books. Rory

4:21

and Lane are in the library reading books

4:23

to help out with the recent problems pregnancy

4:25

and boys. Rory, well, it's supposed to be metaphorical

4:28

and evocative. It's Henry Miller, Lane.

4:31

Henry Miller has better stuff

4:33

than that. Believe me. This is

4:35

not why they banned his books.

4:37

Henry Miller was a writer who published several

4:39

semi autobiographical novels.

4:41

His work blended personal philosophy,

4:43

social critique, UH, and

4:46

candid depictions of s

4:49

X. His books were banned for decades

4:52

in the United States.

4:56

I remember in high school reading a book that has called

4:58

The Time of the Assassin. It was a book about Rombo.

5:01

I had never even heard of this guy until Gilmore

5:03

Girls.

5:04

Oh Henry Miller, really, oh wow?

5:07

The book Rory is reading is called sexist

5:10

The first volume is the

5:12

Rosie Crucifixion Trilogy. The

5:14

book is about Henry Miller's early sexual

5:17

escapades in Brooklyn. Did

5:19

you know Henry Miller had five wives?

5:22

Shocking? I was gonna say

5:25

shocker. I wasn't about

5:27

to read attended church

5:30

regularly. It was

5:32

going to be had five wives. Thank you very

5:34

much.

5:43

This was funny. Lourlai welcomes the young girls

5:46

to the inn to practice for cotillion. Is

5:48

the library ready for us, Emily says Lorlai.

5:51

Yes, the tables are set and the tea is brewed, and I have

5:53

hired some extra poor people for the girls to look

5:55

down on. Charlotte. She's the one

5:57

I told you about a regular. Immagene

5:59

Coka Michelle, Oh my god,

6:02

I love them. They're like Madame Alexander

6:04

dolls come to life.

6:05

So.

6:05

Immagene Coca was a comic actress,

6:08

best known for her role on Your Show of Shows with Sid

6:10

Caesar. She was nominated for five Emmy Awards

6:12

and won for Best Actress in nineteen fifty

6:14

one. But most people listening to this podcast

6:16

know are from one of two things. Her

6:19

role on The Brady Bunch, where

6:21

she was to look like

6:24

jan and I think Jan was kind

6:26

of like bent out of shape that in

6:29

earlier years she looked like Imogene

6:31

Coca and it's like, come on, Jan, and

6:34

she's Aunt Edna from vacation.

6:38

Who the dog Pete

6:40

on the sandwich?

6:41

She died.

6:42

They put her on top of the car.

6:44

Oh, that was Imagene Coca.

6:45

Yeah, these are classic imaging

6:48

Coca roles that we might know. Immagene

6:51

Coca survived a serious car accident in

6:53

nineteen seventy three with left her without

6:55

sight in her right eye. Now

6:57

we also can talk about Madame Alexander Dolls.

6:59

Madam Alexander Doll Company is a manufacturer

7:02

of collectible dolls founded by Beatrix

7:05

Alexander in nineteen twenty six. Madam

7:07

Alexander created the first doll based on a licensed

7:10

character, which was Scarlettlehair from the movie

7:12

Gone with the Wind and.

7:13

A nice fact that's a nice

7:16

factory tire. Europe

7:19

was the last one.

7:19

There weren't that many of this.

7:21

I feel like I have a theory on that they

7:23

bombarded us with so many weird

7:26

pop culture references, not weird, but

7:28

too many that it got weird.

7:30

In the one before that.

7:32

Somebody was like dialog a wow,

7:35

Also, this is truly one of

7:37

the big reasons why everything feels off,

7:40

because the pop culture references are I

7:42

don't know, maybe.

7:43

Really sure, they're mostly there's very

7:45

few, they're very historical, and

7:47

I think it's because, like you know how you said

7:49

you get notes. I bet you someone gave a note

7:51

like too many and then they just did

7:53

nothing.

7:54

I wonder also, did you notice in so far

7:56

the first three episodes, there's a lot of food

7:59

talk, like more than pop culture.

8:02

Maybe it's like a crutch they're like when in

8:04

doubt talk about food or pop culture.

8:06

Yeah, like PP and J pop tarts, like we're just gonna

8:08

throw like sandwiches. Like there's

8:11

there was a lot of food talk.

8:12

Hmmm, that's interesting.

8:14

So Charlotte is introducing Lorelei to her

8:16

grandparents. Arthur says, oh, the famous

8:19

Laura I. Lorale says famous.

8:21

I have to catch up on my US weeklies. Arthur

8:24

says, Charlotte told us you were a card. Beverly

8:26

says, she also told us that you were a delightful

8:29

dining companion, like Noel

8:31

Coward and Slim Keith rolled into

8:33

one. Lorlai says, oh, well,

8:35

she's delightful too, like Shirley Temple

8:37

and Mother Teresa and someone with very

8:40

good table manners rolled into one. Noel

8:43

Coward was a playwright, director, an actor

8:45

known for his wit and flamboyance. Slim

8:48

Keith was an American socialite and fashion

8:50

icon of the fifties and sixties. Slim

8:53

also is featured as one of the Swans in

8:55

the current Ryan Murphy show Feud

8:58

Capodi Versus the Ones, and

9:01

Slim is portrayed by Diane Lane

9:03

in the series. Shirley Temple

9:05

is an American actress, singer, dancer, and diplomat

9:08

who is the Hollywood who was Hollywood's

9:11

number one box office draw as a child's.

9:13

Access She went on to be an ambassador to

9:15

something.

9:16

Yep, and I still to this day ordered

9:18

Shirley Temples. And did you know the Shirley Temple

9:21

drink was created when she was

9:23

out at a restaurant and needed something non alcoholic

9:26

to drink.

9:28

That's famous.

9:30

Oh yeah, she was whining over her parents

9:32

sipping old fashioned drinks, which

9:34

also come with a signature Marashina

9:36

cherry.

9:37

Oh yeah the best.

9:38

So the waiter created

9:40

a version for her. Yeah and so, and

9:42

every kid loves a Marashino cherry

9:45

mm hmmm, so

9:48

that's interesting. My theory on the pop culture

9:50

is too much now

9:52

too little, Just

9:55

like Goldilocks, I

9:57

can't quite get it right.

9:58

There's only six I know.

10:00

It's really light,

10:02

but last time was so crazy.

10:06

So you think week by week they're like, all right, I don't know.

10:08

They're trying to find their way. I think that's what they're

10:10

trying to find their way and maybe next week will

10:12

be so wonderful and s marvelous.

10:16

All right, kids, that's going to wrap

10:18

it up for this very lengthy marathon

10:21

episode of pop culture. We will see you next time.

10:23

10:26
