Toss Popcorn is a production of iHeartRadio

0:10

Pork Pork. Hello, I'm

0:15

Leanna Holsten and I'm Sienna

0:18

Jacob, and welcome

0:20

to Tossed Popcorn, the podcast

0:22

where two idiots watched every

0:24

film on the AFI's one hundred Greatest

0:26

American Movies of All Time, the very

0:29

slightly less racist tenth Anniversary edition

0:31

and are now. Oh,

0:34

we're having a good day.

0:39

This podcast is a safe space

0:41

for people who don't know anything about movies. Today

0:44

we're watching Best in Show.

0:47

Allowed to do anything like that, dress up a dog

0:49

in a funny way. That's that's not quite what the

0:51

purpose of these shows, but it would be I think it could

0:53

really get the crowd going. You don't you know what I

0:55

mean that. You're like, oh, Zach with a I

0:58

don't know if you can make it look like smokes went

1:00

out of the pipe, Believe it or not. A Sienna

1:02

choice. Warning

1:05

there will be spoilers about this. Canine.

1:08

Oh

1:12

I suggested this, and it wasn't

1:14

until I was finally turning it on that I was like,

1:16

oh my gosh,

1:19

Leanna might love this. Sienna,

1:25

h huh, could I please hear

1:27

your prediction? Sure? For

1:29

Best in Show?

1:30

It's so funny that it's

1:33

like I could see you not even remembering that

1:35

there were dogs in a movie.

1:36

That's kind of what happened. Let's

1:39

go ahead and do

1:41

mine. Hi, Leanna,

1:44

it's hi. I'm about to watch

1:46

Best in Show. I love

1:48

Christopher Guest. I know I'm

1:50

going to enjoy this, but I haven't seen it in a very long time.

1:53

Now. It's about a dog show, and

1:56

only in this moment am I realizing that

1:58

you will probably enjoy that. But

2:00

maybe you won't because it's like disrespectful

2:03

the dogs. Maybe I

2:05

won't because it's disrespectful to dogs. All

2:08

Right, I'm excited to enjoy many

2:10

funny characters. I love you, Goodbye,

2:17

Silly. Can't wait to hear the verdict, but first

2:19

i'd like to hear your prediction for Best in

2:22

Show. Hello,

2:24

Sienna, it's Leanna. I'm about

2:26

to watch Best in Show. I've

2:29

never seen this before, but I really love I think

2:31

a lot of the people in it, and I'm

2:33

so excited for there to be dogs.

2:38

I predict silly goofy

2:40

mockumentary question work style. Yes,

2:44

I love you by such

2:47

gentle and quiet excitement.

2:50

My roommate was still asleep when I recorded

2:52

that.

2:54

Wow, so you've never seen it? Have you seen other Christopher guest

2:56

movies? What are

2:58

other Christopher guests movies? Waiting

3:00

for Guffman spinal tap?

3:03

Nope? Okay, there's kind of like

3:05

a big cast of Canadian characters.

3:08

Oh, you wrote a synopsis this week, and I would

3:10

love to hear it. I would just love to

3:13

hear you wrote.

3:14

I'd love to hear that best

3:18

in show. A

3:21

Bloodhound, a Norwich Terrier,

3:24

a standard poodle, a Shitsu,

3:27

and a Wimerner all compete

3:29

for best in Show at the Mayflower

3:32

Kennel Club Dog Show.

3:33

They are so not the subjects of

3:35

the film.

3:39

There is also a husky, a

3:41

Pomeranian, oh

3:46

no, a

3:49

beagle, and

3:51

several other wonderful dog

3:54

breeds. A

3:56

couple who hate each other, a

3:58

couple played by Catherine o'hanara and Eugene

4:00

Levy, a guy from North

4:02

Carolina.

4:04

Two lesbians, and.

4:05

Two gay hairdressers played

4:07

by straight men are the dogs

4:10

owners and handlers. This

4:13

mockumentary features every white

4:15

Canadian comedic actor you've

4:18

ever seen that.

4:20

Ye, and that's

4:25

that's it. You really got it now,

4:28

You did it dog forward as I should have expected.

4:33

He said, are you doing this synopsis? And I said, okay,

4:35

bitch, all right, wow.

4:41

Gosh,

4:44

oh, Leanna, mm

4:47

hmmm, hey girl, hey

4:49

girl, how's it going girl?

4:51

Or hey bitch this week? Hey bitch,

4:53

bork born bitch, hey

4:55

bitch, wolf as

4:57

hell? What's going on?

5:01

I was, this was a great

5:03

week to be watching this movie because this

5:05

week I got to hug

5:07

two dogs for

5:09

a prolonged period of time. Tell me

5:12

more, and thank god because

5:14

otherwise it's like when you're watching food

5:16

content but you don't have any food with you, and you're

5:18

like, oh, I'm actually upset now.

5:21

Fortunately I'd gotten my fill of dog snugs

5:24

earlier.

5:24

This week.

5:25

I got my hair done and the salon had

5:27

a salon dog.

5:29

Oh that's nice, would

5:31

just come and sit in your lap while

5:34

they were doing your hair and fall

5:36

asleep and I

5:38

cried. Oh.

5:43

Then and then I walked a friend's

5:45

dog and got to pat her belly many

5:47

a time when they got back. That

5:50

was my dog fixed for the week. And then

5:52

this movie. It was a great, great week for dog

5:54

content. I can't wait to reflect on Believe

5:57

it or not, Leanna, I can't wait to reflect on Dogs,

5:59

A bit movie that's really interesting

6:02

because I had some reflections. I spent enough time they

6:04

were there, just long enough for me to actually notice

6:07

them.

6:08

Oh okay, and

6:10

that seems like a literal

6:12

dog show.

6:13

Yeah, because they were there the whole time, and I was like, hey,

6:17

the dogs are here. A

6:19

dog? Hey, bitch, how

6:22

are you? I'm good. I'm

6:24

moving apartments, and it's all

6:27

I'm thinking about or doing. Yeah,

6:29

yeah, so you're bad.

6:32

I'm You're bad.

6:34

You're bad. I'm bad. I am

6:37

girl. Let me tell you. It's

6:40

it's like I keep being kind of like stressed out

6:42

or agitated, and I'm like, why am

6:44

I just And

6:47

then I'm like, oh yeah, I'm looking for a

6:50

place right now. I just want everybody to

6:52

manifest for me. The

6:54

times comes out, I'll be happily living in

6:57

this place. I want to manifest. There's this house that we found

6:59

that we really like. Unfortunately, I

7:01

think like families are also looking at

7:04

it. Oh heck, so we're

7:06

screwed. Yeah, but for

7:09

young idiots versus well,

7:11

in my in my we had to write a cover letter for this

7:13

place. That's how like fancy it is. And

7:17

I talked about my found family and

7:21

and my experience as like a

7:23

community and house manager

7:26

at Stanford University.

7:28

Yeah.

7:29

My friend was like, got to drop your plants and

7:32

then you know, we're like we're some puppeteers

7:34

in Los Angeles and

7:37

you feel it slip out of your grasp exactly.

7:42

Yeah. So it's so the

7:44

shapes we have to contort ourselves into when

7:46

applying for housing of any sort.

7:48

It's different than a job or something. I'm like, I'm

7:51

basically trying to say, like I

7:53

will not be interesting, we're lively or

7:55

anything at all. I'm going to just send fortunately

7:57

like everything we do is interesting

7:59

in life and threateningly

8:02

loud, but they don't know us and that we're not

8:05

that way. Yeah, totally, totally.

8:08

So anyway, everybody, please you can just put out

8:10

good energy. That's that's what I'm already to say. Today.

8:13

We'll pray for Sienna, thank you so much

8:16

in her housing search.

8:18

Well, I think it's about time to get into phone

8:20

notes, okay, where we talk about

8:22

this film. Yeah,

8:24

yeah, yeah,

8:27

these notes are about to be I

8:31

can't just skip me on his notes about dogs anymore

8:33

because they're all probably gonna be about dogs.

8:36

It's a lot of them are, and I,

8:38

for your sake, did not highlight most of

8:40

the ones, but they are in all caps. You will see

8:43

them.

8:44

Okay, great? Oh, yep, I

8:49

really appreciate that.

8:51

It was the most notes I've taken on a movie

8:53

in a long time, and it's because I kept writing

8:55

down whenever a dog was on screen.

8:57

That's so funny. This was the least notes

8:59

I've ever taken in I think my

9:01

first note was that this is the least notes I've ever dated.

9:04

Yep, that's exactly right, Leanna.

9:08

Your first note is I love Mockumentary's

9:10

tbh. Me too, I

9:13

really do, because

9:17

they look so fun to be in.

9:20

Yeah, this is something

9:22

to ask right off the bat, which of these

9:24

characters do you think you'd have most fun playing.

9:27

Ooh

9:32

minus the ventriloquism the

9:35

guy from North Carolina?

9:36

Why I love that? I don't know.

9:39

He you know, because he got to walk in

9:41

the woods. Oh yeah, and he got

9:43

to do like a southern drawl

9:47

and just hang out with the dog. Get

9:50

a one on one time with the pup or.

9:52

Very one on one. Yeah,

9:55

not really because of her character traits, but because

9:57

Catherine O'Hara got to hold the

9:59

tear for the majority of the film.

10:02

It would be so fun Okay,

10:04

how about you. It's my option.

10:07

My choice is so funny, which is I

10:09

definitely is it Eugene Levy. No, I'd

10:11

most want to be Fred Willard, who

10:14

is the only person who doesn't actually such a dog.

10:16

Wait, you're so right. First

10:19

of all, you are that character. Second of all,

10:21

that's such a fun role. Yeah, just to

10:23

comment like for any commentator

10:26

duo, to have one of them not know anything about

10:28

what's happening.

10:30

I didn't notice. I haven't seen this in a long time,

10:32

but it was really cute by the end that

10:34

the other commentator was clearly cracking

10:37

at some of the stuff. I

10:39

didn't notice that just a little bit because at the

10:41

point once Fred Willard is like, no,

10:43

here's a question, how much do you think that I

10:45

could lift? That

10:49

made me laugh so much. He was barely

10:51

keeping it together. Surprisingly enough, one

10:54

of my favorite dogs here. And

10:56

the thing is I started liking them more and more as the movie

10:59

was going on. I was like, I like that guy, stick

11:01

it around. You were getting to know them,

11:03

Yeah, exactly. I felt like I knew them

11:05

better and I had moments where I was like, man,

11:07

that dog is still in a good mood despite everything

11:09

else. That's going on. That's pretty nice

11:12

trade about dogs. But

11:14

I really liked a winkie.

11:17

Yeah, that dog was so cute.

11:20

That dog was so fucking cute.

11:22

Oh my god. I'm so glad you noticed. I really

11:25

liked that dog. And I often small dogs,

11:27

I'm like feel medium about but yeah,

11:30

that dog looks like a little wombat. She was

11:32

adorable, so cute.

11:36

And then I also liked that bloodhound.

11:39

Yeah, I love that bloodhound. They

11:41

were fluppy ears. Oh

11:43

my gosh, that was cute. Did

11:45

you see the photo of the bloodhound as a puppy.

11:48

No, it was only on screen for

11:50

a second, but it was so fucking cute.

11:52

Oh my god.

11:54

I like, I was trying not to wake

11:56

up my flatmate with the sounds that I was

11:58

making at these dogs, but it

12:00

got real hard to withhold

12:03

my my jubilants.

12:04

Wow. Wow,

12:07

So Leanna,

12:10

I've been waiting, Yes, I've been waiting for this

12:12

moment, and I didn't even know I was waiting for it. You just said

12:14

in your notes, Sienna, I'd like to thank you

12:16

for choosing this film.

12:18

Yes, yeah, I

12:21

was relief. I was very grateful because

12:23

some of the stuff that

12:26

I've made. You look at some

12:28

of the stuff that you've made me look at has

12:30

not been dogs, to say the least.

12:34

Some of it's been the opposite of dogs.

12:37

It's been two ugly people kissing, and that, to

12:39

me, is the opposite of a dog. The feeling that I

12:41

get from looking at a dog is the exact

12:43

opposite of what I felt watching the film Dogfight.

12:48

That it was such a such a joy.

12:50

Oh and within minutes of the movie starting,

12:53

there's dogs everywhere. You also

12:55

said, I have gasped at every dog who's

12:57

come on screen, and I would like to inform the listeners

12:59

that's like at least sixty dogs.

13:06

Oh, it was. It was a utopia.

13:10

It was the best. It

13:12

was. It was my happy place. It is cute

13:14

to think that they had to hire so many dogs

13:16

for this film. Yeah,

13:19

it must have been imagined, the dog auditions

13:21

that they had to have. It

13:24

must have just been so fun to be on set

13:26

for that reason too. Dogs everywhere, Like,

13:28

are you kidding? That'd be such a

13:31

dream? Oh my gosh, Leanna,

13:33

you said, quote decorative abilities,

13:35

unquote me writing my CV.

13:39

They were talking.

13:40

This is Jane Lynch and Jennifer Coolidge talking

13:42

about like their skills that they bring

13:44

to the table. Yeah, for showing

13:47

dogs. And Jennifer Coolidge.

13:49

Said decorative abilities, and

13:52

I was like, absolutely, that is one of my main

13:54

things that I know I can do. That is not

13:57

useful in any salaried

14:03

but I have to put it on my CV in case somebody

14:05

somewhere is like, oh, thank God Abilities

14:08

give her fifty thousand dollars a year for

14:10

her decorative ability.

14:11

Somebody must be making it.

14:14

And I must note not design, like,

14:16

not interior design. I cannot do

14:18

that, but decorative abilities.

14:21

Yes. Oh

14:24

my gosh, I can't find my busy bee anywhere.

14:27

Please excuse me for three minutes while I go try

14:29

to find it. We'll be right back. Oleona.

14:39

You said, this guy's a really good manager tbh

14:43

ed Bigtel manager, Yes,

14:48

Ed beg Lee Junior.

14:51

I was watching him manage this hotel

14:53

and the way that he handled Catherine

14:56

and Eugene checking in but not having

14:58

a credit card to pay

15:00

for the room, and he found

15:02

a solution and was extremely

15:05

professional about it, and his whole conversation

15:07

about like, the kitchen is just next door,

15:10

you can call this the utility room. I'll alert the

15:12

staff to the circumstance. I was like slay,

15:18

a managerial sleigh is

15:20

occurring. I really respected

15:22

him.

15:22

Yeah, that's part of what's fun to watch

15:24

the Do you know how rare

15:26

it is for me to see a man in

15:28

a film and go, I respect

15:31

that man. It's

15:34

like and the Phantom of

15:36

the Opera. Those are the two you

15:38

respect. The Phantom of the Opera,

15:42

I just get it. I see where he's coming from. I

15:44

respect that. I do respect that.

15:47

What I love about movies like

15:49

this, I think is that a lot of comedy comes

15:52

from things being positive, and I

15:54

think that is so genius. I love

15:56

it. Oh my gosh, you're so right, Like he's

15:58

doing a good but it's a ridiculous

16:00

situation. Well in the way

16:02

in which everybody's friends

16:04

were so supportive of them and just seeing

16:06

them off and really happy for them. I kept

16:08

waiting for the other shoe to drop and for them to be like,

16:11

God, I hate those idiots, like as

16:13

soon as they got out of sight, but they were just happy,

16:15

and it was such a nice feeling.

16:18

His movies will have this. They always have little songs

16:21

like things often end up okay for people because

16:24

like, you love the characters, so you want them to be

16:26

and then and they're also

16:28

just playing people, and people always figure themselves

16:31

out in some way or like figure out something to do. Yeah,

16:34

but this and portlandy are I'm realizing

16:36

right now. It's like what they have in common that

16:39

that's what I love so much about them is that you're

16:41

still laughing even though everybody's like, whoohoo,

16:45

yeah we got what we wanted. Yeah,

16:49

dang. And you said, look at

16:51

this little beagle.

16:52

When is a little beagele And then you said the

16:54

little beagle dog

16:56

category? Okay, Then you said, boresoays

16:59

are fucked up?

17:01

Yeah? Is that a dog?

17:02

This is a rare moment where you'll hear me say

17:05

something not entirely positive about a dog.

17:08

But Borzois are fucked up, and you'll.

17:10

See your name. Oh

17:16

wow mm

17:18

hmmm, So that's what

17:20

the didn't I do it

17:23

for you? Yes?

17:25

Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, based

17:28

on that's based on a bar.

17:30

Yeah, they look like a very ghostly

17:32

dog. I actually very ghostly.

17:35

I respect how strong of a character they are, but

17:38

wow, that is so scary.

17:40

I would bet that the dogs

17:42

that I find the least cute are

17:44

ones that you would respect for be it for

17:46

doing something.

17:48

Yeah, it's making a strong choice. Wow,

17:51

why are they so? Are they dogs that are meant to

17:53

like poke around holes and get rats and stuff.

17:56

That's an incredible guess. I don't seems like they

17:58

were bred to poke around holes

18:00

and get rats.

18:02

Yeah, hmmm. Uh.

18:07

Or they just scare an animal to death

18:10

because they look like a ghost.

18:12

They do look like a ghost. Oh my gosh, Leanna,

18:14

you said giving me flashbacks to dance competitions.

18:17

Oh, I'm so sorry. Tell me more.

18:20

Oh my gosh. They used to take you out. Your mom would have

18:22

to walk you around in a circle, and

18:25

then.

18:25

You'd have to get up on a table and

18:28

they'd pull up my lips and look

18:30

at my teeth, and then someone

18:32

would grab my ass.

18:33

No, that's

18:38

so funny.

18:39

They were often in events centers

18:42

or not quite arenas, but

18:45

convention centers that type of thing.

18:47

Yeah where or gymnasiums

18:50

and the.

18:52

Uh like cafeteria area

18:54

or like the refreshment area was very concrete,

18:58

very concrete based, like the scene where Jennifer Cooler just

19:00

stress eating popcorn. That concession

19:02

stand. The concessions area, wow,

19:04

looked exactly like so many of my dance competition

19:06

concessions areas looked and it was

19:09

so I just was immediately like, oh,

19:11

I have to.

19:11

Warm up my hornpipe. Oh my god, yeah,

19:14

oh no, your hornpipe.

19:17

Yes, a hornpipe is a

19:20

type of dance done in hard

19:22

shoe and it was originally

19:26

done by sailors on ships and

19:28

the rhythm was developed from there. And

19:30

I don't want to talk any more about it.

19:32

Okay, wow, thank you. Fascinating

19:36

Leanna. You said he

19:39

went after her like she's made out of ham.

19:45

When the wimerner jumps on the

19:47

judge, and then the commentator said

19:49

that line, and it made.

19:50

Me laugh so much. That's

19:53

so funny. He went after her like

19:56

she's made out of ham.

20:00

So enjoyable. I think ham

20:02

is one of the funniest nouns. Even

20:05

as myself a pescatarian, ham

20:08

will always make me laugh. One of the better

20:10

nouns. Mmmm.

20:12

And Sienna, you noted this, and I

20:14

too loved this.

20:17

American Bitch is

20:20

an amazing idea.

20:23

That is so smart. I love

20:25

that it's about women and their dogs, a

20:28

magazine about women and their dog owners.

20:31

Oh, it's so

20:33

so funny. I really felt

20:35

like something we would say to each other, like a

20:37

way that we would describe a character.

20:39

American bitch. He's an American bitch.

20:45

We've heard of old bitch here on toss

20:47

popcorn. Now get ready for American

20:49

bitch. Oh so

20:52

funny. I just like, I would absolutely subscribe

20:54

to a magazine about women and their dogs.

20:56

I'm sorry, that's awesome. See that

20:58

surprises me again. I know I

21:01

would.

21:01

I just didn't realize that you would pay money about

21:03

a dog.

21:05

It's not just dog like, it's

21:07

the combination, you know. I think dogs are

21:09

mainly supplementary.

21:16

I think you have a very human forward

21:20

approach to the world. Human

21:24

enjoy animals a lot. And you know, I try

21:26

not to kill bugs and things like that,

21:28

but.

21:29

I try to.

21:30

You have like you have relationships

21:33

like that's why,

21:35

because you like value humans. Oh

21:38

yeah, it's led to these. I

21:40

love dogs.

21:46

I love knowing how much your whole family

21:48

loves dogs. Yeahs,

21:51

maybe it's because we're wasps. I

21:53

don't know, like it would be much

21:57

towards a person, but to

21:59

a dog, it's like, oh yeah, that's fine. You

22:01

can hug a dog for as long as you

22:04

need. A

22:09

person. That's another story. Uh

22:11

uh, that is so funny. I

22:14

will have to repost the photo

22:17

of me with a dog. Versus the photo of you

22:19

with a dog. My

22:24

favorite part of that is that is

22:26

you saying I thought that I was

22:28

having a good time. I was

22:31

like, because since I've gone on anti anxiety

22:33

meds, I've had less social anxiety around dogs,

22:36

and like I've been like, I've

22:40

been more normal around Actually I

22:42

did not know that legitimately.

22:44

Do you think that's what it was for a long time.

22:47

I think that's part of it.

22:48

I felt anxious around that, like you felt like

22:50

you were gonna do a faux pas.

22:51

Yeah, I'm like, I don't want to be respected as this

22:53

dog. And then I think I've been a little bit chilled out and

22:56

I'm like, Okay, it's a dog. But I

22:58

a little bit feel like I'm cosplaying a lot a little bit

23:00

when I get and again, I enjoy dogs.

23:02

It's just like I've come to understand that

23:05

the the general the custom

23:07

is actually to be more upfront affectionate

23:10

towards dogs right when you meet them, which I still find a

23:12

bit disrespectful, but I uh, I've

23:16

been getting up in their face more because they

23:18

don't know me.

23:21

Oh so you feel like you'd be bothering

23:23

them? Yeah, okay, in their

23:25

own life. But I found that they actually quite enjoy the attention,

23:28

and so.

23:28

I've been

23:31

dabbling more and kind of getting down on the dog's

23:33

level and you know, petting it and saying hi and

23:35

like hi dog, like Hi baby

23:38

dog, Hi puppy. Oh

23:40

okay, yeah yeah yeah, hi puppy.

23:43

Hi. Anyway, it's

23:46

been going pretty well, Leanna.

23:48

You have also said your final note, which

23:50

is the final moment pug, and

23:53

I must ask how you feel about pugs.

23:56

I really like pugs me

23:58

too.

24:00

It's interesting, actually, I

24:02

think I had a sort of a U experience

24:06

where for a long time I just thought pugs

24:08

were pretty fucked up because they're not supposed to exist and

24:10

all of the in breeding is.

24:12

Like, come on, that thing can't breathe.

24:14

Yeah.

24:15

But then my friend Molly on

24:17

my improv team in La, she has two

24:19

pugs, and I've met them and seen

24:21

them a lot over Google meet,

24:24

and I've really fallen in

24:26

love with the breede.

24:27

As a result. I think they're so cute.

24:29

Mess I think they're so freaking cute. Oh my gosh,

24:31

they just hobble around.

24:33

Yeah.

24:34

There's a lot of pugs here too in jackets.

24:37

Oh yeah, it's adorable.

24:40

Real good.

24:41

Shall we move on to badges and trages.

24:43

Yes, welcome everyone

24:46

to badges and tradges in which we award

24:48

badges for bark,

24:51

bark, that's a dog, and

24:54

tradges for tripping

24:56

and injuring your knee.

24:58

Yeah.

25:00

Perfect. I have a

25:02

badge for the little therapy Chay's

25:05

lounge for the dog.

25:09

That was hilarious and I loved that, such

25:12

a cute dog, a little dog sized

25:14

therapy couch. Come

25:17

on.

25:19

Badge for the terrier on

25:21

Eugene Levy's hat. Oh,

25:24

and then all of their terrier paraphernalia.

25:26

So funny. I have a badge for just generally

25:29

the character prowess in the film,

25:32

so character forward, and they're

25:34

all very positive and comforting presences,

25:36

i'd say, or many of them. I enjoyed it.

25:38

Quite a badge

25:41

for it.

25:41

When the dog put her chin on the

25:43

desk. This is when Bob Balaban's

25:46

character is introduced to me. He's holding a dog and

25:48

then she rests her chin on the desk that

25:50

they're sitting at.

25:51

It's really cute.

25:54

I have a badge for Jennifer

25:56

Coolidge, an American treasure.

25:59

Yes, badge

26:01

for an energy where everyone loves

26:03

their dogs Oh.

26:05

Yeah, that's true. Oh

26:07

my god, that's kind of the point

26:10

of the film is ambivalent about

26:12

their dogs. They all love them so much,

26:15

which is the right amount. I have a badge

26:17

for Parker Posey, a Canadian American

26:20

treasure. It's

26:22

too good.

26:23

A badge for Jennifer Coolidge is

26:25

the way that Jennifer Coolidge delivers the line

26:28

when she's talking about how much she and her husband have in common,

26:30

and she says, we both love

26:33

soup, we both love Sure,

26:35

you could do a much better job, but yes,

26:37

yeah.

26:37

The way she hits soup was so funny.

26:40

Soup, She's so funny.

26:44

Badge for Catherine O'Hara, a Canadian

26:46

American treasure.

26:48

My next badge is a badge for Catherine O'Hara is

26:50

so talented.

26:51

She's so talented. I love that she can do

26:53

anything. Her character was so I

26:55

just she's like, Hey, he's my past.

26:58

Hey, who's my future? Is my future?

27:01

He's so history? Oh he is so history.

27:06

Badge for Eugene Levy, a Canadian

27:08

American hero.

27:10

Hero.

27:11

Wow, oh,

27:13

treasure, You're describing women as treasures and

27:15

men as heroes. Oh my gosh,

27:18

treasure. Treasure. Badge

27:20

for waving the dog's paw.

27:23

When Eugene and Catherine are driving away off

27:25

to the competition, Catherine is holding the terrier

27:28

and she waves her little paw to say

27:30

to the friends, and I do that all

27:32

the time. I love that. That's just

27:34

good. Oh uh.

27:37

Badge for Fred Willard. Uh.

27:40

I don't know where he's from, but he's a treasure.

27:44

Badge for being ninety minutes long.

27:46

Oh perfect amount, perfect

27:50

experience. Mm

27:52

hmm. Badge

27:54

for Christopher Guest, a

27:57

Canadian American treasure. And i'd

27:59

say hero because he gets all these

28:01

people together. I didn't realize

28:03

he was in his movies, but

28:07

he's so funny as

28:10

well as I really

28:12

appreciate that he brings these people into

28:14

one place. Thank

28:17

you, sir.

28:19

Badge for the opera binoculars

28:21

that one of the gay straight

28:24

men uses to watch the competition.

28:28

Badge for I'll have to also talk about

28:30

this in trages, but Badge for Scott

28:32

and Stefan are actually the most enjoyable

28:35

couple, the one the gay couple they

28:38

have. Of course we'll talk about

28:40

in trages that that's played by two straight men, but in

28:42

terms of how the couples are, they're

28:44

like the most healthy and just loving couple,

28:46

like they just enjoy each other and enjoy talking to

28:48

each other, and it was kind of nice because

28:51

they already have a thing, which

28:53

again, yeah, we can talk about in trages, but I

28:55

feel like they just kind of like let them be, and

28:58

so their relationship was actually quite like

29:00

they both love movies. And then

29:03

I don't know they were they were on the

29:05

same team more than the others were.

29:07

I'd say, yeah,

29:10

a badge for everyone's run with

29:12

their dog, but specifically Scott's

29:15

strut when he parades the

29:17

shitsu and he has one arm out.

29:20

It's so funny, so funny.

29:23

My final badge is for the costuming generally

29:26

and all the so good production design

29:28

and everything, because despite the improv being very good,

29:30

it was already set up to be extremely funny.

29:33

All the little details that they created for it

29:35

were emact.

29:37

I loved him badge for Jane's

29:39

salute when the poodle wins

29:42

their category on the Dog Show.

29:45

So funny.

29:46

Badge for casting normal looking people.

29:50

I love.

29:51

That's something about people who are funny, is we also

29:53

kind of look yeah like regular

29:56

regular, yeah, a lot of the time, And

29:58

it's nice to know that there's a world in which we were allowed

30:00

to be in a film.

30:02

A bad.

30:04

Badge for Cookie is a slut and good

30:07

for her, Yeah, I thought, for the

30:09

most part, and we'll get to this in trags as well,

30:11

but for the most part they

30:13

handled her. I

30:15

want to say lucrative, but that's not right.

30:18

Her full

30:20

past of romantic partners ruitful

30:23

in a way that I thought was for the most part, really

30:25

good and just funny and fun and

30:27

honestly empowering.

30:29

Sleigh.

30:30

And my final badge is for American

30:32

Bitch, Absolutely

30:36

excellent.

30:36

Wow, what fun badges this time? Do

30:40

you own a dog?

30:43

Could you please send us a photo of your

30:45

dog at Tossed Popcorn

30:48

on Instagram.

30:49

We'd love to see your dog. You

30:52

have three minutes. We'll be right back. Trageds

31:00

trag is. My first trage

31:03

is for as you noted last time, gay or

31:05

homophobic, as you

31:07

so well put it last time. There's

31:09

certainly like the joke

31:12

is that they're gay, you know, yes,

31:15

yeah, which is yeah. This one is

31:17

a little bit like. I also liked them as a couple.

31:20

They were like it's pretty

31:23

respectful to its characters this movie generally,

31:25

but also when it comes out in two thousand stuff, are

31:27

like, okay, so these are two straight guys playing yeah,

31:30

and it's it's funny, you know, yeah,

31:33

yeah, yeah. Anyway.

31:36

A trag for letting his dog be

31:38

a narc the bloodhound owner

31:41

at the very beginning, when he's introducing himself in his

31:43

dog, he's like, she'd also be great

31:45

working for the police, And I was like, what

31:51

a cab includes police

31:53

dogs?

31:55

Yeah? Boo. Trage

31:58

for this we will

32:00

if you like comedy, make you go what am I doing

32:02

with my life? Ah?

32:06

Absolutely, A

32:09

trage for poke as a verb

32:12

for a sexual encounter when

32:14

Catherine was like, what because he used to poke me. I

32:17

was like, don't say that, do

32:20

not say that.

32:22

I totally glossed over what that meant.

32:24

Wanted to feel. Its trage

32:28

for.

32:28

That racist encounter when

32:30

Poy screams at the housekeeper about

32:33

going back to where she's from. Ah.

32:36

WHOA trage for

32:38

a ventriloquist doll. No,

32:43

yeah, that's not that's not for you. It's not for

32:45

me either, but that's especially not for you.

32:49

Those are my trages, only

32:52

a few more from me. Uh, trage

32:55

for men from the year two

32:57

thousand. You

33:00

know, it's just it's

33:03

a minefield that category

33:06

of person. And

33:08

there were some times, especially

33:10

in the running bit about Catherine O'Hara's

33:12

character Cookie having had a lot of sexual

33:15

partners in the past, where they'd

33:17

say stuff that I was like, Okay, that actually was just

33:19

demeaning and objectifying,

33:23

and it's it's not quite crossed

33:26

over into the land of respectability

33:29

and respecting this woman as

33:31

a human being. A

33:34

trage for very white

33:36

and pretty male. Yeah,

33:40

and my last trage

33:42

is a trage for Eugene's teeth and

33:44

the way he moved his mouth around them.

33:47

I didn't like that. Yeah,

33:51

they were a lot. There were

33:53

a lot. Yeah.

33:55

I did love his two left feet though. That was so

33:57

funny. It's so funny,

34:03

just the right amount of there goes when

34:05

Fred Willard goes, am I nuts or something's

34:08

wrong with his feet. I

34:12

really like when people speak in an announcer voice.

34:15

Yes, it also felt like if I were

34:17

an announcer, that's how I would comment

34:19

on something. I'd be like, something is wrong with

34:22

that, that's not that's not right.

34:25

I don't think that's supposed to be that way.

34:27

Well, Leanna, shall we move on to our next

34:29

segment, And our next segment is of course,

34:32

how to pretend you've seen this film? This

34:34

is for uh,

34:37

the wrong kind of dog, Yeah,

34:41

the wrong kind of dog. Jerry

34:45

comes up to you and he

34:48

is a dog, is

34:51

what I was trying to say. Jahing

34:53

but a dog, nothing but a hound dog. And he comes

34:56

up to you and uh, he

34:59

you you are? You were just walking your dog in the park or

35:01

your friend's dog. You're at a dog park, enjoying yourself,

35:04

yes, Barker Park, enjoying the dog. You

35:06

spent a lot enough time with this dog that you feel close to

35:08

it, and so you have affection for it. Yeah, which takes some

35:10

people some time like that, and that's totally fine,

35:13

some people inhuman at all. And

35:15

you're at that dog park and Jerry

35:17

comes up to you. He doesn't have a dog. He just likes

35:19

to walk around. So I

35:20

just I just like to walk around.

35:22

Hello, bitch, bitch, Hello bitch.

35:25

Whoa, whoa.

35:28

It's a dog joke. It's a dog joke. It's just a dog joke,

35:30

he says. He goes, I like to walk around

35:32

here and see if anybody's bringing their dog around, because

35:34

I think if they like dog, they're gonna like this movie that I'm gonna

35:36

explain to them, even though there's lots of women in it, and that it's

35:38

something that you could you could enjoy as your own. I'm gonna

35:40

make it all about me. I'm gonna tell you about it so you

35:43

feel bad liking this movie. I'm gonna tell

35:45

you many facts about it.

35:47

And in order to disqualify

35:49

Jerry, we are gonna give you a few

35:51

sentences you can say to pretend you've

35:53

seen the film Best in Show.

35:56

I actually love the concept of disqualifying

35:59

guys like Jenny. Sir, I'm sorry, you've

36:01

been disqualified from this conversation. You

36:04

may no longer participate. You don't have the qualification

36:06

on the sideline's so go to the pedaltry. True.

36:09

Oh, you've been disqualified. Please leave right.

36:12

I'm so sorry, Jerry. I have seen Best in Show,

36:14

but unfortunately I can't have a conversation with

36:16

you about it. Why well,

36:18

I was born with two left feet,

36:25

so I'll just be talking in circles.

36:28

Oh ho ho ho ho. That's

36:30

good. Yes, Jerry, I've

36:32

seen Best in Show and it

36:34

is a movie I enjoy, particularly

36:37

because it is a Christopher Guest movie, which, as

36:39

we know, is tends to be a

36:42

mockumentary style movie with a

36:45

specific cast of characters, often

36:47

people that we love that are either that are from

36:49

Canada and or the two thousands, but

36:52

they're pretty positive character

36:54

forward films.

36:56

Yeah,

36:58

Jerry, I've seen Best in Show and if you don't

37:00

leave me alone within the next two seconds, I'm gonna

37:02

stab you with forks.

37:03

Until you bleed. I

37:07

don't remember that part.

37:09

That's when the guy's trying to talk his son

37:11

off the little roof of their shed and

37:14

he's holding the Cairn Terrier. It's

37:16

like, please, I do this for a living. While

37:20

that was incredibly triggering for me personally, it

37:22

was also really funny.

37:25

I'm sorry, I'm gonna stab you with

37:27

forks until you bleed. What

37:30

the fuck? Who

37:32

does that help? That's so funny.

37:37

Just start immediately threatening the.

37:38

Person stab

37:44

you with forks until you bleed.

37:49

Yes, Jerry, I have seen Best

37:52

in Show. That movie is interesting if you

37:54

are also interested in how dog shows work.

37:57

They really go through it and you might learn

37:59

a lot about dogs. If you're a person who doesn't know all

38:01

sorts of things, you might even learn a lot about

38:03

dog breeds. So educational.

38:06

Mm hmmmmm. Would

38:09

you ever go to a dog show.

38:11

No, all right, no,

38:13

because I think dogs should be allowed to just like flop

38:16

around to their hearts content. And

38:19

it also I think they are like problematic

38:21

in the sense that they encourage continuing to

38:23

breed dogs instead of like

38:25

rescuing. Gotcha,

38:28

you know, adopted, don't shop pashtag. So

38:31

okay, Jerry has approached and I turned to my

38:34

dog, who has looked at Jerry, and I say,

38:37

Winky, no, don't look at the fat ass

38:39

losers or freaks.

38:40

You look at me.

38:44

And then we parade around to the dog

38:46

park away from Jerry.

38:48

That was pretty funny. I

38:51

did we watch that? Yes, Jerry,

38:54

I have seen Best in Show.

38:56

And here's a little juicy Easter

38:58

egg for you and for all the film bros to shoot

39:00

you down. I while

39:03

watching this wondered about this, and I have now verified

39:06

ed Begley Junior's character at one point talks about

39:08

a rock band who is a real mess in his hotel,

39:12

and I thought, I wonder if they're referring to the band from

39:14

Spinal Tap whoa Easter

39:16

egg to another movie. And indeed it

39:18

is oh fun a

39:21

Spinal Tap reference. That's

39:23

really fun. Yeah, they

39:25

have a little universe going on. Oh

39:28

my gosh, it's a good one to blast the

39:30

film, bros. Away.

39:32

Yeah, and now

39:34

that you've gotten the blue ribbon in Deferring

39:37

a Man, we can

39:39

move on to our next segment, should you watch

39:41

this or in which we tell you if you should

39:44

watch this movie or if you should do something else

39:46

with your

39:49

with your time, I

39:55

had nothing clever to say.

39:57

I know it was like with your making time

39:59

with.

39:59

Your I was gonna say with your dog days,

40:01

but those are with your dog time

40:05

with your dog.

40:09

I'll go first. I think you should watch this

40:11

movie. I love it. Yeah,

40:13

it was better than I remembered, even because

40:16

it's also shorter. Okay,

40:19

yeah like length. Yeah

40:21

totally. I think that his movies are really

40:23

fun and totally worth watching. You

40:25

can choose from other ones if you want, but this is

40:27

one of my faves. At least. I haven't seen a lot

40:29

of them in a long time, so it'll be fun to go back

40:32

and watch them. But I very much recommend.

40:34

I do think as we were talking about this, that it

40:37

is sort of like a great place for a

40:40

lot of women actors as well, getting

40:42

to play fun roles. Yeah,

40:46

it just seems like it's really fun to be in, and

40:48

yeah, I think I

40:51

quite enjoy them. So I would recommend Best in Show.

40:53

Leonna, what about yourself.

40:56

I'd say, yeah, you can watch Best in Show

40:59

If you're not in did in sitting

41:01

down for a film? What you could do

41:03

instead is you could go

41:06

you could donate to your local dog shelter or

41:08

go see if they need any volunteers, because,

41:12

as it turns out, a lot of animal shelters are like super

41:14

overwhelmed right now, so it would be a cool

41:16

thing that you could do.

41:18

Great wreck, Leanna.

41:20

What would you rate sorry for the community service

41:24

that I know we don't normally do that. Yeah,

41:27

and you should be sorry for it, Leanna.

41:31

It's so tracks that, like the first movie where

41:33

I'm like, this is a cause you should go helps

41:35

for dogs.

41:42

Now more than ever. Leanna,

41:44

how would you rate the film Best in Show?

41:47

I would give this movie four

41:50

huskies out of five. I

41:53

loved the dog content so much.

41:55

The improv was really fun. There

41:58

was an under current for me

42:00

because it's a comedy

42:03

that can get kind of off the rails

42:05

or a bit outlandish. I

42:07

did definitely found myself feeling a little bit

42:09

nervous the whole time that a dog was gonna

42:11

get hurt as a punchline, or like

42:13

something sad would happen to a dog as a punchline.

42:16

It didn't end up happening, but it

42:18

also doesn't come to like the viewer

42:21

from the jump to know that that won't

42:23

happen at all. Ah, they are

42:25

very respectful of the dogs. They

42:27

are, so watching it again, I think I would be very

42:30

relaxed.

42:31

That's a good point.

42:31

See, you know, what would you rate the film?

42:33

I would give this film

42:36

four point nine

42:38

uh four point nine

42:40

unsuccessful makeovers out

42:42

of five. I

42:45

looked freakish. I

42:47

loved that lie.

42:50

Oh god, when they started making out, I love that

42:52

so much. The whole time I was like, I hope they're lesbians,

42:55

and then they were lovely, wonderful.

43:00

The point one is taken off for the

43:02

two thousands of it all. Some

43:05

of their jokes feel a little disrespectful. Yeah,

43:09

but honestly, in terms of like there's they don't

43:11

it's pretty again. It's

43:14

it's pretty respectful and caring

43:16

towards its characters. And you can sense

43:18

that, like they don't really make

43:21

fun of anybody too much or make it too negative or

43:23

it's mostly a very pleasant watch. I really enjoyed

43:25

it. I really enjoyed it.

43:27

Yay, perfect, well

43:30

work poor correct,

43:33

we did it. We been tossed Popcorn's

43:36

review of Best in Show.

43:38

Probably the most delightful movie I'll ever recommend

43:40

43:43

best case scenario of movie that I recommend.
