Welcome to Unspool's Real Confessions, the show where we dim the lights and we ask our guests to bear their cinematic souls.

That's right, Amy. We're not hitting them with trivia. No, we are talking about the movies that they love, the ones that they hate, the films that they're embarrassed to admit that they own, and the reasons that you might not want to sit next to them in a dark theater. Or maybe you do want to sit next to them because today stepping into the confessional, we have Sarah Marshall. Oh my gosh. I love Sarah. If you've not listened to her podcast, you're wrong about. Get on that. As a matter of fact, Amy and I are going to be on that show. And let me tell you,

tease what we're going to be on the podcast about is Ishtar, a movie I have wanted to talk about

but you, as the queen of wrongness, give it a pass? Oh, that makes me happy as a question.

Thank you for having me, first of all.

Let's see.

Well, I mean, the most obvious answer is newsies, which I think strives to be historically accurate to a point and has like kind of a surprising amount of actual information about the real newsboy strike of 1899.

And then completely changes the ending in order to make it, you know, a great triumphant story

where also Teddy Roosevelt shows up at the end and fixes everything, which he would not have and didn't.

But to make, you know, to sort of give it that Disney type ending where

you stand up for what's right and it's an unmitigated success in the last reel as opposed to

a morally troubling compromise in which the bosses in question also were able to get, you know, some of the

strikers to turn scab, as happens sometimes in life. But also, it's not so family-friendly

that all the kids aren't smoking the whole time, which I guess is accurate. But Newsies is my favorite

movie that I will always defend no matter what it has done wrong. Wow, Sarah, I actually have to
