And this is mostly nitpicking, a podcast where me and DJ analyze a pop culture thing by looking exclusively at the details.

0:24.5

The description changes by the day.

0:26.7

Yep, we got it, guys.

0:29.0

Got a big week this week.

0:30.5

It's pretty big.

0:31.7

I'm so excited.

0:32.6

It has been right now, wait a second, because for people who don't know, we're recording this on Thursday. We are entering the one week anniversary of when I saw this movie. Hey! Right? Because like, this is like maybe an hour. I think I saw it at 7 o'clock on a Thursday Easter. So yeah, right up, right up against it. And you know what? Yeah. Still love it. I've had a week to sit on it. I think this move is great. Oh, good. Well, we're going to talk about it. Ned, I wanted to take the floor for two seconds, if I may.

0:38.8

I, we were week to sit on it. I think this movie's great. Oh, good. We're going to talk about it. Nandah, I wanted to take the floor for two seconds, if I may. I, we were going to record on Tuesday, which is our normal Tuesday recording day for a Wednesday release. However, I got some news. Michelle had entered and won the SpongeBob Broadway lottery. So it was like, oh, fuck, we're going to this now. So, yeah, I saw SpongeBob on Broadway on Tuesday. That's so great, kind of. Was it good? Did you like it? I enjoyed it. What I would, so someone had asked me this. Well, like, what's the plot? And like, it's not like a spoiler or whatever or like just skip a volcano or something yeah yeah there's

1:28.7

like a volcano eruption that got to stop it whatever um but like the way i described it is it's like a jukebox

1:34.2

musical with all original songs like yeah it's not for like the narrative piece it's like for the um

1:39.8

for like the music and stuff like that and that's what you're really in it for and like the music's good uh my favorite number is the one that uh who do you guess has like the best number like every character gets like a number like so this would be tough if i hadn't seen the squidward number on broadway i'd think it's that because they did that on the Tonys. And I don't think it is.

2:02.2

I would guess the plankton number is probably the best one. So they're one and two, but I like the Squidward number better than the plankton number. Oh, really? What's the, let's the like, I mean, we're spoiling this, but this movie is like musical's going off soon, right? I don't think it, I think it's going on tour, yeah. So, like, if you're one of our not local listeners, local to the New York

2:01.6

slash Philly area, it's, uh, you'll be able to see it soon, potentially. So the Squidward one is about how it's like him being like, I'm cool, I'm not a nerd. Yeah, pretty much. And it's a tap number. Yeah. I'm a sucker for tap dancing, though. I love tap dancing. See, I couldn't give us a crap.

2:35.8

Oh, Nando, no. Because it's just like a thing. Like, it's like if instead of, instead of, because it's like a, it's like an art form, I guess. But it's more kind of like a talent where it would be like if. Yeah, exactly. It would be like if there was a five-minute song and three and a half minutes in for a minute, everybody just did backflips.

2:36.3

I'd be like if there was a five-minute song and three and a half minutes in for a minute, everybody just did backflips. I'd be like, cool for the first 10 seconds. Like, wow, it's a lot of backflips. And then I'd just be like, all right, can we be done with the backflips? It's great that you practice backflips. But like backflips is like one thing. It's a backflip. With tap dancing, like, there's so much to it.

3:07.5

It's just a lot of tapping, really. But you got to get into music, and it's got to look like appealing to the eye. Like, there's a lot that goes into it. I think if you showed someone a backflip, and then you showed someone a tap dance, like a, you know, second or two a tap dancing. And they had never seen either. 99 out of 1,000 people would be like, yeah, backclips are better.

4:00.9

Not even like are better. Just like there's, I just don't think there's anything interesting about tap dancing. Like what do you? You can't express anything with it. It's not like, you know, dancing where it's like the, you know, people doing ballet and stuff. It's, no, it's a type. No, okay. No, no, no, no. It's a type of dance. There's facial expressions that go into it. There's movement that goes into it. Yeah. And they're all this, like smile, you know, Broadway, not Broadway, beauty pageant kid, face. It's such like a one way of thinking about tap dancing uh i mean listen you never see it in the real world it only makes its way out in broadway musicals

4:06.1

like it's never no one's ever like you know what you want to go to this comedy show no man

4:12.0

i'm gonna go see some tap dancers tomorrow.

4:14.3
