| 0:26.5 | Not necessarily. |
| 0:27.8 | Flies away with the help of drugs, maybe? |
| 0:30.3 | No, she flies away. |
| 0:31.8 | They take her. |
| 0:33.0 | Well, she flies away to the Magic Kingdom. |
| 0:35.4 | How do they get in there? |
| 0:37.1 | They just skip over that. What do you mean? In the Florida Project? Yeah, that's right at the end. Yeah, they just show them running and then they're like inside the magic kingdom. Although that girl's a, that girl has, that girl has, she can break. The art of deceiving and breaking behind enemy lines. Breaking every rule. Did you like that movie? We're not going to review that so quickly. Would you like the Florida Project? Less than everybody else did. Oh, did people love it? Oh, people fucking love that movie. I liked it, but I for sure couldn't see another second of it and we'll definitely not watch it again. Those kids were fucking nightmares. All them. And like the mom. Oh, yeah. It was an interesting movie. It was like a tough watch. It was definitely a tough watch. Yeah. Willem DeFoe did great in it though. Okay. Lady Bird is not the Florida project. It's a much more of a feel good movie. It's an all the feels movie. Everybody fucking loves it. They came out saying came out saying hey guess what that reminded me |
| 1:28.6 | of when i was in high school it's like no shit that's because they made a movie tug at your heart |

| 1:39.4 | everybody else how about you um it's sort of the same yeah i would say i say. I mean, like, it was not, I completely agree with your assessment that, like, it was maybe one of the better movies of the year, but it shouldn't be in, like, best picture in consideration.

| 2:04.6 | I have it at 3.65 out of 4. Oh, okay, so that's really high. Yeah, I have it a 3.1 out of 4, yeah. I liked it. but the thing for me is, and it's not fair to compare Sir Sharonin toan to Sersheronan, but like this isn't, she's very |
| 2:20.4 | young and I've already seen a better Sersheronan coming of age film. You know, like, I preferred |
| 2:27.5 | Brooklyn to this by quite a bit. Maybe just because it wasn't so, um, this I felt, and I hate this word, like, |
