Hello, hello everybody. Welcome back to another episode of Fluently Forward. Today we are covering Sydney Sweeney on the podcast.

Actually, no, that's not the truth, Ellen. Oh, no, Dakota, you're right. That is not the truth. We are covering Dakota Johnson.

Obviously, I love that iconic clip of her telling Ellen, knock your shit off and don't try to play to your audience that I didn't invite you to my birthday party when I did.

I actually recommend that everybody go back and rewatch that clip because I remember when it first came out, everybody was like, oh, okay, Dakota Johnson, Miss 50 Shades of Gray has a little bit of brass balls to her standing up to Ellen.

It's actually quite, it's quite tense and layered. And the way that Ellen kind of like keeps trying to put

Dakota in her place, obviously I'm reading a lot into this, but since that clip, everything about

I like her and Tom Holland. I never really feel chemistry. Even in a movie that's like all

about the tennis threesome with Dune and Timothy Shalame, I talked to my Dune episodes that we've done here for public episodes about how I think a lot of the chemistry was taken away from the director's shots.

For example, every time her and Timothy Shalemay's lips meet each other in Dune, they pull away and go to a cinematic landscape. That's where

the chemistry is. Zoom in. Let me be a pervert. But there's been a lot of movies that have been like,

oh, challengers, it's giving MMF threesome. It's sexy. Nicole Kidman, baby girl. She's on her hands and

knees. But instead of Sabrina Carpenter going woof, woof, she's going

meow, meow, meow. And it's kind of like hitting you over the head with the sex stick. But something

about Dakota Johnson is a little bit of, I don't know, like an underlying sexual edge. And I've just

been very fascinated to do a deep dive on her. I know that she's an

nepo baby. I know she was in 50 shades of gray, but let's see what's really going on. So before we get
