I'm Jordan Morris.

And I'm Emily Fleming. Today's movie is House of Versace, a lifetime biopic about the legendary fashion designer Donatello Versace, who was apparently as coked out as she was influential. Is it biopic or biopic? I said biopic. The second one. Okay.

The second one. Biopic. It's a biopic. I think biopic or biopic is acceptable. I personally consider biopic to be classier. I like biopic. I'm sticking with biopic. Do it.

Cool. Keep it going. Oh, I thought we were done. And that biopic. I'm sticking with biopic. Do it. Cool. Keep it going. Oh, I thought we were done. And that's the episode. And that's the episode. I nailed that intro. Before we start talking about House of Versace, which I think we can both agree is a rich text, I want to talk about some other free stuff we saw on the internet this week.

Other free stuff we saw on the internet this week. Other free stuff. This one's a little bit of a cheat for me because I just want to talk to you about this. Okay. Now, the week of this record, the trailer for X-Men 97 came out. This is a continuation of the 90s X-Men cartoon that is going to be on Disney+. It is just picking up right where the 90s x-men cartoon that is going to be on disney plus it is just picking up right where the 90s cartoon left off and just like continuing the story emily this this show the original version of this show was like an important and an important thing for you right

yes well wasn't it for you too were you obsessed with with it? It was. I watched it a lot and I loved it. And I loved X-Men comics and I loved X-Men trading cards. But I think you are more into it than I think anyone I've ever met. Yeah. Oh, I feel very flattered about that. I mean, it's the best theme song of anything. I mean, I think Power Rangers and this theme song, if I had those on a loop at the gym, I'd be unstoppable. You can do that, Emily.

I can? You can make a playlist that's just this. But it's just the X-Men theme song and the Power Rangers theme song. Okay. And you'll be fucking jacked as the rock by summer. Yeah, I have the Beast action figure from this. Yes. It's my favorite toy that I own. I mean, there's toys that I sleep with,

like my American Girl doll, but. You wouldn't sleep with the Beast, too pointy. He's too pointy. Too pointy, too plastic. He's too jaggedy. And maybe that's creepy that I said that, but sometimes Mama gets lonely. No, I don't think so.

This is a safe space, just be you. Thank you. No, you don't have to put on airs here in the booth. Sometimes I wanna sleep with a a doll in accurate period clothing, like with shoes with a buckle on it. You want to sleep with a doll who's going to die of cholera. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, so I have Beast and I have Rogue, and those were probably my two favorite characters. But yeah, I would watch that.

I think it was on Saturday mornings on Fox. Part of the Fox Kids block. Yes, Fox block yes Fox kids block the cat and the tick yeah so I would watch that and I got very horny for Gambit and Rogues little relationship I loved her sassy southern accent so I just think it looks gorgeous I like the the bright, flat colors, and I like how everyone looks maybe naked. Like Jean Grey looks like she's just wearing the tiniest little leotard, but her pants are flesh colored? Mm-hmm. Because there's pockets on her legs, and you're like, what? Yes.

So there's stuff like that. And then Sabretooth, I'd be like, that guy's just naked. Yeah. But I guess it was the same thing. It was just the flesh color was maybe they ran out of different tones or something. I don't know. I don't know what it was. Cartoons were cheaper back then.

Yeah. But I love it. So I have not watched this trailer. Okay. I sent this to you on Instagram. I was assuming, I'm like, 40 people are sending this to Emily today. I can't believe you haven't seen this trailer. Okay, I sent this to you on Instagram. I was assuming, I'm like, I'm like, 40 people are sending this to Emily today. I can't believe you haven't seen this yet.

I know, I wanted to watch it, but I guess I've been a little busy with my jewelry. No, I understand. Making jewelry now. But no, this is great. We get to hear your live reaction. Okay. I'm so curious to hear what you think about this.

Okay, so I'm gonna- Because this could be, oh my God, my favorite show's back, or this could be they're ruining my childhood. We have to stay vigilant. The voices sound the same. The professor entrusted us with his dream. Are they the same voice actors?

I think some of them have been like, gosh. We must believe. I think I saw an apocalypse arm. Right? Damn it. We get this done by working together as a team. Jeez, bub. Keep buzzing in my ear. Ooh, Storm looks cool.

Storm looks great. Storm has the mohawk. Yay, Jubilee pretty much looks cool. Storm looks great. Storm has the mohawk. Yay, Jubilee pretty much looks classic. Oh, Jean Grey having baby. Gambit looks the same. I love it. I love it. I love it.

To me, my X-Men. Wow. That looks so good. Oh wait, there's more. Magneto. Magneto's hot. No! Magneto's got a gray mullet.

That's so hot. I only see it with the helmet on when I've seen the other show. It's got a nice head of hair. Not enough rogue. Yeah. There's like no rogue. No rogue. But I gotta say, Storm's like cool mullet haircut thing is rad.

Storm looks great. That's a version of her comics look that she has had a lot where she has the kind of like shaved on the sides mohawk. It looks fucking awesome. That is cool. I don't know if they've ever done that in the cartoon, but that's like a look, one of her looks from the comics that I really like. She looks really like sleek and modern.

They updated her pretty cool. I love that Rogue is the classic Rogue. Gambit is perfect. I mean that shot, there's a shot in the trailer where Gambit jumps on Wolverine's back and uses his powers to energy charge Wolverine's claws. It's like, fuck, yes.

This is so good. So you're excited. I'm so excited. Do you subscribe to Disney Plus? I have a Hulu account that everybody in my family and a ton of my friends use, and it costs me $60 a month, and I get HBO Stars, Showtime, Disney Plus. And so, yeah, I do, but I've watched a lot, like re-watched a lot of the old cartoon,

but now I'm just going to have to get right back to it. Yeah. Because I want to be able to follow it to where it left off. Yeah. Okay, so you're stoked. I'm just going to have to get right back to it. Yeah. Because I want to be able to follow it to where it left off. Yeah. Okay. So you're stoked. I'm stoked. This is the best review I've heard of the trailer so far.

Well, now I'm just going to watch the old cartoon starting tonight while I'm making my jewelry. I'm now more excited knowing that you're excited. I'm stoked. We should have a pizza party and watch it. Yeah. Yay. If mom tells us to go to sleep, we'll tell her to fuck off. I'm stoked. We should have a pizza party and watch it. Yeah. Yay. If mom tells us to go to sleep, we'll tell her to fuck off.

That's right. We're not babies anymore, mom. We'll be fine at church tomorrow. Yeah. Okay, so now mine's really lame. Yeah. No, no. Let's see it.

What's your internet thing? Okay, so there's this account on Instagram that I love that's like, I think they're just an artist that does color theory stuff. Where it's like they take, they do it with clay too. So there's like a little mixing knife or whatever. And they have like either two colors in front of you. And they take some from both colors and then they mix it together to make a new color.

And it's really fun to watch. And they chop it up and they do it really, really, really fast. Somebody speeds it up. And all the little ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting, ting sounds are really satisfying. Let's hear the sounds. Would this count as an ASMR thing? I think it does. It doesn't soothe me.

It just kind of, it's tasty. It's like, I don't know. But the clay ones, I highly recommend. I'm curious to see how I react to it, because I think the satisfying sound stuff rarely works on me on the internet, but sometimes it does. I'll see if this one hits. So, I don't know if I can get, do you not, you got to open yours. So, it's Smashing Pencils is the name of the account. is the name of the account.

I'll be honest, don't love the sounds. Makes me feel like there's metal bugs on me. Makes me feel like a little ant might crawl into my mouth while I'm sleeping. Wait, well maybe... That's so funny. But I'm like, maybe you might like... So if you go to the account, though, they do a thing where it's the clay

one I think is even better. The little clay ones. So there's ones where they take the colors of cartoon characters and mix them together. So they have a Bart Simpson, they have Buzz Lightyear, and they do those. So I recommend the balls of clay one. Let's hear a balls of clay sound. Maybe I'll like that better than that. Okay.

Here we go. No. Yeah, this is the stuff. This is... Matt, jack the volume on this stuff. Nice. I hate you both so much right now. I love this sloppy clay play. Dang it.

There we go. Well, hey, that's our free. That's the free. You showed me like a trailer that changed my life. And I showed you something. And you made me feel like I took a bite of food that life and I showed you something. And you made me feel like I took a bite of food that had a little screw in it. Well, hey, let's talk about House of Versace. Yes.

This is currently streaming free with ads on YouTube. Before we get into the movie, Emily, I wanted to ask you a question. Okay. with ads on YouTube. Before we get into the movie, Emily, I wanted to ask you a question. Okay. So this is about,

specifically, Donatella Versace, who is the sister of Gianni Versace. I know these are fashion people, but I don't really know how they're important. You are, you're a very fashionable person. You've worked in, you've worked in fashion before.

Yeah, a little. I dress like a road manager at the Warped Tour. So I don't think that's true. Nice of you to say. But I don't, this is not never something that's like been, you know, something I've paid attention to. So can you like explain why they're important or like, I can do that. Well, first, I want to specify that this is not only free with ads on YouTube, it is free with ads on the Lifetime TV YouTube channel. Yeah, a lot of good stuff over there. Lifetime has their own channel and they have free movies and TV shows that you can watch on that channel.

And this was one of the only ones that wasn't about a really fucked up murder that happened in a high school. Sure, yes. Alludes to a fucked up murder, but it's not about the fucked up murder. Yes, that's true. So, yeah, I'd say Versace is like, it's the sexiest of the design. Okay.

I think of it like 2000s fashion. I mean, you know, the Jennifer Lopez green dress. Right. Which somebody told me is the reason why Google Images like came to be the button for Google Images because people were looking for pictures of that dress. Oh my gosh. That's funny that that dress never gets a mention in this movie.

I know. It does because like I know if you said Jennifer Lopez's dress I immediately know what you're talking about. Yeah. So that's wild that they designed it but it's not mentioned in this movie. Well it's probably like pretty copyright that's probably a dress they didn't want like the most famous dress i don't know there's a lot of things about this movie that it's like you got the licensing for these images

but not like and these songs but not that so we got a lot of that but yeah i would say the safety pin dress which they okay they reference um has made a huge comeback as well. It's like probably she does, the character of Donatella, she does mention like mistress, like where. Like that they're designing things for the. Right. Yes. The man buys this for his wife, but he buys Versace for their mistress. And I thought that was a pretty good explanation for what Versace is.

Like it's almost tacky. Okay. But I think it's very, every single time I've seen someone wearing it on the red carpet and they say what it is, I go, oh, yeah, yeah, that's, yeah. Okay. But it always looks hot and kind of modern and kind of campy. I've seen someone wearing it on the red carpet and they say what it is. I go, oh, yeah, yeah, that's, yeah. Okay. But it always looks hot and kind of modern and kind of campy. So, and I don't know. And she's, you know, we kind of know Donatella Versace

for the plastic surgery. Yes, I know. They do not, so Donatella Versace in this is played by Gina Gershon, one of the great babes, one of the great babes of my childhood. Who I think, I mean, I know we're going to get into it in a minute, but I think she knocked it out of the park.

She's very good in this. Other people are not, but she is very good in this. And yeah, I have just like so much affection for her. I think she's terrific. I love watching her. She's such a babe. She's just such a babe, I know. I know.

It made me want to watch Showgirls like immediately. Oh yeah, sure. I was like, terrific. I love watching her. She's such a babe. I know. It made me want to watch Showgirls immediately. Oh yeah, sure. God, I love this chick. As we saw in Showgirls, she knows how to do that 10 out of 10 high camp performance. I think no one else in this movie is meeting her where she is and they should be. That's a

mistake. But yeah, they do not. Donatella Versace, the the actual person has a lot of really insane plastic surgery yes has very big lips there's a world i think where they do a higher budge version of this movie and she just has to be in the makeup chair like jim carrey when he's playing the grinch she just has to put straws in her fucking nose and being there for 10 hours before she shoots. Well, this is based on a biography that someone wrote. I'm not entirely sure if Donatello Versace gave any blessing.

There's probably some copyright issues with the clothing itself. But, yeah, I feel like they were trying to be as flattering as possible to her story. Yes, they are. Yeah, they're being very nice and they seem to be sugarcoating some stuff. Well, yeah, let's actually get into it. And I want to talk about the cheapness of it because this, it starts with a red carpet montage of people saying, I'm wearing Versace. Celebrity, like real celebrity.

Yeah, this is like actual news footage that I think Lifetime is a universal network. So, you know, whatever E footage they have, they could probably use. They're playing Pump Up the Jam. And I got excited because I'm like, all right, we're going to hear these kind of 90s catwalk needle drops all throughout the movie. I'm like, this is fun. There's three. And the rest of the movie is the most fucking generic ass library music you have ever heard. It's kind of a bummer.

How do we get through this movie without hearing I'm too sexy? Yes! Is it too on the nose? I don't think so. It's wild that that's not in the movie. Yes, I agree. Yeah. The music at the top was like, wow, we're about to see a movie about fashion.

Here we are. Yeah. Fashion. So the first scene that's not this repurposed news footage is Gianna and Donatella. Am I getting their names right? Gianni. And Donatella.

So yeah, you see them backstage. They're fighting. Gina Grishana, of course, plays Donatella. Gianni is played by Enrico Colantoni, who is a real that guy from that thing. You would recognize him from a million things. Just shoot me. Just shoot me.

He's one of the aliens in Galaxy Quest. Oh my god, you're right. I just watched that recently. Isn't he good in that? He's so good. He is not good in this. He is phoning this in. He looks just good in that? He's so good. He is not good in this. Aww.

He's phoning this in. He looks just like the dude. He does. And I can see why they cast him. Yes. But he is just fucking ambienting his way through this.

I mean, I think that we need to address the biggest elephant in the movie. Yes. Which is the accents. The accents. The Italian

da-ba-da-ba-ba-ba like that kind of it's like Everyone sounds like the guy on the pizza. The accents. The Italian, da-ba-da-ba-ba-ba, like that kind of, it's like. Everyone sounds like the guy on the pizza box. Yes, except for Gina Gershon, who's like, I think,

really killing it. I cannot speak to the accuracy of it, but it does, I like listening to it. Some of the other ones are nails on a chalkboard. Oh yeah, but I think whatever she's doing, even if it's like,

not accurate, it just sounds like a person instead of a generic, like, you know, accent. Yeah. She sounds like a character. She has a take. She has a take, and she sounds like she has too much Botox to move her face, which I think is perfect. She just kind of has a face like this. It's this really stone paralyzed face. But yeah, she's amazing. It is halfway between like girl Wario and trying to kill Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Oh my God. I thought you were going to say Rocky Balboa. And Rocky. Honestly, kind of. We got to adjust his hemline. We've got to have a sloppy neck, Adrian. Add more lace, Adrian. Adrian. Honestly, kind of.

But yeah, everyone else sounds like but all I could think about was, yes, all of these accents are rough, but God bless everybody for trying. God bless everyone, yes. Everyone tries, kind of. But it also, I did not see House of Gucci, which this is interesting. Yeah, so this movie came before. Way before. I was positive when you suggested this.

I'm like, oh, this is their, like, transmorphers, right? How, like, someone saw House of Gucci was coming out. Like, we can shoot House of Versace in a fucking long weekend. But this movie came first. Yeah. And, but it's interesting because I'm like, wow, are all fashion houses Italian? I guess it makes sense. Like, Italian suits and all that stuff.

Sure, yes. I'd never really paid attention. Yeah. But yeah, so it's another fashion movie about Italians and having strong accents. A lot of wack. Producer Matt Leib here. Hi, Matt. Yep.

I just want to say that you guys, by mixing these movies up, have made the fatal mistake that was warned by Gucci. Oh, no. Never confuse shit with cioccolato. Is that Jared Leto? That is Jared Leto. Oh, my God. You guys are confusing shit with cioccolato right now. Listen, I'm going to be honest.

I never saw House of Gucci because even in the trailers, the accents were so horrible. Yeah. This has better accents were so horrible. This has better accents than that movie. And so that's like when I started watching it, I went, hey, Gina Gershon, I think is like killing Lady Gaga over here. I think she's pummeling her with the accent work. And she's like actually. Get fucking Gina Gershon in there to play Harley Quinn, right? Yeah!

Take everything Lady Gaga has and give it to Gina Gershon. Honestly? Hell yeah. But not everything. But yeah, I think that Harley Quinn, Gina Gershon could be really cool. That would be great, actually.

But yeah, so first of all, I just really want to give Gina the biggest compliment. Yes. The accent work. She deserves her flowers. I think you want to give Gina the biggest compliment. Yes. The accent work. She deserves her flowers. I think you just nailed this. I loved it.

Okay. So we have them fighting at this fashion show, and then we go to see the Versace's at home, and we kind of go around the table, and we meet all the characters we're going to be following throughout the movie. They have a sensible brother who keeps the finances in line. Right. And then we also meet Gina Gershon's husband, who I think is the tallest person in the movie. Ooh.

Tallest guy. He's the tallest guy, and he has insane cheekbones. Did you notice this guy's sharp shovel blade cheekbones that just jut off of his face? sharp shovel blade cheekbones that just jut off of his face. I guess I didn't because I felt like he was just somebody's husband they put in the movie. He's bad. He is very bland. Yeah.

Yeah. They probably just like shove this guy into different Lifetime movies every week. Oh, yeah. He is very good looking. You're right. Yes. The cheekbones are chiseled. The cheekbones are chiseled. He's a pretty hot guy. You do get to see him

shirtless a couple times. And I do not mind. Yes. The nipples are as pointy as the cheekbones. Mamma me. Like a sleeping with your beast toy. What are we doing?

My beast toy. Dr. Hank McCoy. He's a pointy it's a me horny man we are having fun yeah yeah um okay so we kind of like meet all the characters um we go to uh donatella she is uh giving an interview in a nightclub and just kind of laying out why she's important to history. This is like the laziest biopic technique of like, let's see them doing an interview. And they just get to tell you about themselves. Well, they do multiple interviews like this. And every single time she just goes, well, he's a genius.

Yeah. You know, like this kind of thing. It's like, oh, my God, you just say the same thing over and over. This movie has a really bad problem of telling, not showing. There's a couple of moments. Oh, that is so well put. Yes. It's just people saying exactly what's going on. And like there's no subtext. There's a couple parts that I think are very well done. And I'll point those out. But I think for the most part, this is just people sitting in a room and like saying what's happening.

It's a very like inert, it's a very inert movie. But there are a lot of fun parts. I think our next bit, we do hear another one of our catwalk needle drops. Groove is in the heart. Oh, yes. And so this is like her at a shoot

and she is like, someone else is photographing the models, but she's like off to the side coaxing them. Yes. And I can tell they wrote no lines for her during this, but are just like, pump up the models. It just feels so riffed. You got naked sexy, huh? Hey, freestyle for my project today. Just win. Okay, working, girls. Look hot. Very hot. Look hot.

Look good. Yes. Sexy. Now. Go. Pose. There's a lot of that. There is a lot of that. There's a lot of that kind of like fashion generic speak where it's like, I want that

to look like a woman, like a woman's woman's woman. Yeah. She could go woman's woman's woman. Yeah. She could go outside. A female woman. I want to see the ovaries. A woman wants to feel sexy. And when she feels sexy, she goes out at nighttime. Yes.

And she wears clothes. At night, that's where you have dinner. If you're a woman, you love dinner. And no sandals. We only wear stilettos. Yeah, she hates sandals. She hates sandals. There's a little joke about that at the end.

Yeah, yeah, for sure. So they're at this photo shoot. She's like coaxing these models. Now, Emily, you were saying- She's also coke-ing these models. Yeah. Oh, that? Yes, she is.

They're doing cocaine. They're doing cocaine. Yeah, her and one of the photographers are, like, doing coke together. Yeah. Emily, you were saying that, like, you think they fucked up the fashions in this. Like, they're not actually good representations of how the clothes are supposed to look. Well, I don't know how accurate they are to, like, the time period and what they were coming out with. It's just all of it looked like

i don't know like there's there's like this brand called rainbow that's like you would in new york it's like you go get club dresses like yeah you pay 14.99 for you wear it one night and then you throw it in the trash it's kind of that's how everything looked in this movie yeah it didn't look like elevated fashion it It just kind of, they kind of looked like the Fanta girls in that clip. Fashion icons, the Fanta girls. Yeah, they're like

in these pleather kind of bright yellow and pink little mini dress things. And again, listen, fashion, not my strong suit.

I buy all my clothes from the fan store. But I was watching this going like, I don't like, I don't see why these are important clothes. Honestly, I'd say Donatella is the one kind of wearing the coolest stuff. Yeah, she does look great. And that wig is not bad, by the way. I think there's-

The wig's good. The wig's good. Good wig. It still looks like it's bleached to hell, but it looks good as it can be. Emily, did we just create a new segment? Best wig in the movie? Oh, yeah. Best wig in the movie.

Well, I also. The best wig. Well, there were no hats in this movie that I could spot, but I will say the worst hat is Gianni Versace's wig. Okay, so I'll play that. The worst hat. Yes. So you're saying one great wig, one awful wig.

Yes. It's like, and his wig kind of looks like, I don't know, like somebody sprinkled asbestos on top of like a bald cap and just went, yeah, that's good. So your head is dusty. Yeah. Nope, that's my hair, my real hair. Yeah, pretty much.

But yeah, I don't, yeah yeah the fashion in this whole like when they had the fashion shows i recently watched white chicks okay and at the very end of white chicks there's a fashion show and it's also like a generic fashion show where it's just like here's a pink dress yes girl work it yes sexy walk and it's like kind of a cheap looking runway and everything. This was that. It looked like the white chick's runway, kind of. Yeah. But yeah, that scene was cool.

I do remember her walking up to, there was a male model who's supposed to seem naked, but he's got like boxers on that are his own skin color. And they're like, we want him to really seem naked. You know, it's like they're like, touch him, cover him. Like, so they're like we want them to really seem naked you know it's like they're like touch him cover it like so they're doing that stuff but i remember she gets a phone call from somebody in the middle of it and she's like dealing with some business stuff while talking to the models and i went she's a good business woman she is she grinds yes she rises and grinds she does she seems like one of those people who's really professional and has energy for everything. And those people baffle me.

I don't know who those people are. That's certainly not me. I think people who are on cocaine. I think people who are doing as much blow as she does in this movie. That's so funny because she reminded me of the manager of the menswear store when I was in New York who just had time for everything. He'd get on a phone with this guy and he was on a lot of cocaine. He was on cocaine. There you go.

Yeah. It's the productivity powder. There it is. How do they do it? So she's at this fashion shoot. She goes home and has a fight with Gianni. He says, I'm the sun and you're the moon. He's kind of trying to get her

to not stay in her lane. He says, your job is to reflect my glow. And she says, oh, your glow. It's like one of the best deliveries. It's like she in this scene. It's like he is just like fucking getting his paycheck and showing up and saying the lines. And she's at a 10. And it's the disparity is so clear in this scene how she's going for it

and gets it and he doesn't I just wrote down at this point this is a very beige movie a lot of beige in this a lot of beige walls a lot of beige clothes

yep they make up later at the like fashion office they do this thing fashion office they're at the fashion office honestly that could be

the title of that movie right yeah it's more generic yeah than House of Versace yep they do that thing They're at the fashion office. They're at the fashion office. Honestly, that could be the title of that movie. Right. Yeah. It seems more generic than House of Versace. Yeah. They do that thing where they're like, the people in movies do, where they like sniff each other's heads, where you like grab their head and you're like, oh, my brother. This little part where they're apologizing and sniffing each other's heads,

there's more sexual chemistry in this scene than anything else in the movie. It's like I did forget periodically that they were supposed to be brother and sister. And I'm like, oh, are they supposed to be married? And that he was supposed to be gay. Yeah, I know. Very weird. You barely ever see his partner with him. Yeah, he's kind of like just a character with five lines.

Yeah, it's true. Anyway, so they make up, but he dies. She gets the call. We get to see her get the call. In the movie and in real life, Johnny Versace killed by a serial killer. Oh, my God. Yeah. I'm sure there's an actual movie about that so no there is actually

um ryan murphy has the um american crime story oh okay is it good um i haven't watched it but i know it is like about the guy who did it and um i think that penelope cruz plays donatella Versace in it. I haven't watched it. And Ricky Martin plays Gianni's boyfriend. Ooh. You know what? I think I'm going to watch that. It looks pretty good. I'm going to watch it. Okay, so the family is

grieving. They are talking about his legacy. And they're mentioning all of the celebrities who he dressed in his legacy. Princess Di comes up a lot. Oh yeah. But they also many times in this movie mention Sting. Yeah.

Jennifer Lopez doesn't get a mention but they're like well he dressed Sting. It's like so weird to think about like there was a time in our culture where Sting was this like famous guy and now he's just the guy from the police who takes a long time to come when he's just the tantric sex guy who used to play bass in the police right you know it's so funny well i love sting i still i still love sting okay

um i also love the police the police are yeah They're great. But I remember I bought a Greatest Hits Sting album when I was like 11 or something. And I played that thing to death. Okay. What are the Sting solo hits that you love? Fields of Gold. Okay. It's very like romantic. If I Ever Lose My Faith In You.

Oh, that's a good song. That song. And then- Desert Rose. Desert Rose. Desert Rose. Desert Rose. And then Free, Set Them Free, I think is that one. Okay.

I like Desert Rose. Okay. All right. A lot of great Sting songs out there. I also really love that song from Three Musketeers soundtrack. Oh, that was Sting. Okay. It was Sting, Rod Stewart, Bryan Adams.

The original Three Musketeers. Yeah, I know. Don't you love how Brian Adams was the- The soundtrack guy. The soundtrack guy. After the Robin Hood song. Robin Hood. He also did Spirit, the cartoon about the horse.

Great. Why do I just know not useful things? Those are fine things. What's useful? I don't know. I don't know. Why know anything? So yeah, if you ask this movie,

Sting is the most famous person to have ever lived. So she decides to kind of soldier on without him. She does the fashion show that he had planned. Yeah, but she's not doing great, though. She's very sad. She's very sad. She's just kind of tromping through this. And there's a moment here that I think is really great.

And I think this is an example of when the movie shows and not tells. But she does this fashion show and she comes out and everyone's applauding. And she looks back to realize that they've put his picture on the screen. And there's this moment where she realizes they're clapping for him. And they don't talk about it. They don't say like, and then I came out and they put up his picture. You just, like, it's just like, here's a moment. And here's what she's going through.

And it is fucking great. And it, yeah, it kind of points to a better movie. And, you know, it's a Lifetime movie. I'm sure they shot it for five bucks and a long weekend in Canada. It's a lot more, like, I feel like that tells more of a story than anything else because it's like she wanted her own moment, but she's also sad that her brother's dead. Right. So it's like she feels guilt probably for wanting her own moment in the sun.

And yeah. And then she can't have it, but then she's like, like, you know. It's a good moment. And it really, like, it really, like, it like it really like paints the picture of a really interesting character. Yeah. We jump ahead to the year 2000. Her husband leaves her off. I felt like it came out of fucking nowhere.

For gold with his face. With his two little face shovels. Off to write the Ten Commandments. Yeah. Tablet with his cheek. Going to scratch him in there. Well, can we talk about something really quick? Sure.

So there's a lot of alluding to her being out of control in this movie. And all I see is her occasionally doing cocaine. Right, yeah, the like meltdowns in this movie aren't that severe. No, she has like one kind of meltdown, but really it's just she spilt some wine and broke a glass. Yeah, they show her being kind of drunk at family functions.

Yeah, I agree that they, you know, these movies are about the rise and fall, right? And you have to have that low moment. But they don't do the low moment that well. It doesn't seem that severe. She always seems fine. They don't show, they just tell. Yeah, yeah. They're like, you're out of control of control it's like we'll show her being out of control i

don't know or the only thing that's out of control is they keep going we're losing money like the everything's about to go under and she's like well that's not my problem like you know what i mean like so it's and people are because they're losing money, telling her she's out of control, which honestly, that kind of makes her look good in real life where it's like everybody is just, you know, vampires. Yeah, these money-grubbing assholes. And so they sent me to rehab because I wasn't making the money. But it's like, no, clearly she was drunk and had some issues with drugs. Right. But it just wasn't, it didn't make any sense.

So we are not shown, we are told that the business is collapsing. She is comforted by Aunt Lucia, played by Raquel Welsh. Hey, Raquel Welsh, that means it's time for Hunk Watch. Ooh. It's Hunk Watch. So my personal hunk. Yes. For this movie is Raquel Welsh.

Now, Gina Gershon, I mentioned at the top, is one of the babes of my youth. I think one of the great babes. Raquel Welsh. Okay. Yeah. So when I was a kid, I loved dinosaurs. I'm going somewhere with this. I can't wait. and so we would just rent any movie at the longs drugstore had a little movie rental counter i

would just rent anything with a dinosaur on it and that was just my mom's go-to it's like this has a dinosaur fucking get it and then you know and so you know it's a little land before time and uh yeah you know um oh God, what's the one? Baby. But they find the little brontosaurus in the- Probably Land of the Lost. Land of the Lost, yeah. But there was a genre of movie like in the 60s and 70s that was like cavewoman movie.

Now, one of these was 10,000 BC starring Raquel Welch. Okay. And they always fought like stop motion dinosaurs in these. Or in this one, a stop motion turtle, I believe, they fight at some point. And they always have like cavemen, but also these cavewomen who are wearing fur bikinis. Their hair is all perfect.

And they are completely hairless. Love it. And, you know, it's just the most ridiculous, like, okay, these are cave... And, you know, I know now that these cave women movies were like women in prison movies. These were, like,

as close to porn as they could make. You know, it's like these were jack-off movies. Oh, yeah. But we watched them as kids for, you know, it's like these were jack off movies. Oh yeah. But we watched them as kids for, you know, just because I'm like, a dinosaur movie. And then, you know, they imprinted on me. So I, you know, I just said- So now we know what Jordan's kink is. It's cave women.

Yes. So- Walk me on the head and drag me into a cave. yes bonk me on the head and drag me into a cave Raquel Welch is is in probably

you know the ultimate version of one of these cave women movies and every time I see her I I I appreciate

those she does look amazing looks fucking great in this yeah yeah do you have a hunk do you have a different hunk

for the movie I like the the stern but fair brother. Yes. The other Versace brother. You're like a responsible man who's good with money. Yes, I, well, I should. That should be what I'm into, but I tend to, his name is Colm Fiore. Okay. good name.

Yeah, and he's hot. And I'm looking at the other stuff that he's, he's in so much stuff. His accent could maybe use a little work in this movie. But he's doing what he can. And yeah, he's in Thor. He's in Chicago, Face Off. Dang.

Like a ton of stuff. Gina Dershon's in Face Off too. in Chicago. Faceoff. Dang. Gina Dershon's in Faceoff too. No shit. This is a little reunion for them. Oh man, I wonder if that's free with ads. We got to watch that. Faceoff is so fucking good. Hell yes.

Yeah, he's in a ton of stuff. But my favorite thing, so they have a, what is it called? You know what this is called where they talk to people about how you're a drug addict? An intervention. Oh, thank you. They do. Why'd you look back at me? Hey, Matt, what do they call this?

They call it an intervention. That's right. Yeah, yeah. I'm looking back. Just because I've been sober doesn't mean I've had an intervention. Oh, okay. I have had an intervention. Oh, okay, cool.

Matt, we're really proud of you. We are proud of you. I'm very proud of Matt. But, okay, so. So, yeah, so they have the intervention. Well, the brother at the intervention, Matt we're really proud of you we are proud of you I'm very proud of Matt but okay so so yeah so they have the intervention well the brother at the intervention

they just are like you need to get it together but he kind of loses his cool and goes like why don't you just finish yourself off do us a favor

yeah and then I went oh my god daddy like yeah oh I'll finish you off you finish

we'll both finish each other off. Be mean to me, brother daddy. So that line I think is great. There's another line I want to play here that is from right before this where they tell her that the company is crumbling and that they're going to buy her out or something. Okay. So if you want to put me on a leash, it better be diamond studded or you can kiss my ass. So yeah, this is in the trailer. If you want to put me on a leash, it better be diamond studded or you can kiss my ass. So yeah, this is in the trailer.

If you want to put me on a leash, it better be diamond studded or you can kiss my ass. I loved this line. Also very hot. And also like this is the tone the movie should be. Like there's little moments where it gets big and campy and funny and it fucking works. She sells it. And then there's just all this like boring stuff in between it's like whoever is writing these lines just get them to punch up the whole movie it's it there's some

great stuff in here but we want to talk about the intervention we want to talk about her journey into rehab but first it's the max fun drive we mentioned it at the top of the show folks are going to maximumfund.org join um emily doing this show is something we've been talking about for like a long time years yeah we've been friends for a long time we've we've known that we like talking about cum together we we love to talk about cum but our problem was there's not there's not a way for everyone else to hear us talk about cum. Yeah, that's true. And that's why we wanted to do a podcast. But the two of us...

Well, we did pitch the cum podcast. We did pitch the cum podcast. It was shot down. Maximum Fun said, we think too many people would listen. Yes. And we're afraid it would crash the servers. Yes. And were afraid it would crash the servers. Yes. Is there something else you could do that would still be very popular, but not that

popular? Yeah. And then we went, movies. Movies. So we've wanted to do this for a long time. Yeah. And the two of us, we don't have a lot of tech smarts. No.

We'll be back again to tell you a few more things about the MaxFunDrive. But first, here's the rest of our discussion about House of Versace. I love you.

And we're back. Woo! Donatella Versace has been sent to rehab. We see, like, one scene at the rehab, and she looks like she's doing great. Her kids come to visit her. Kinda. I mean, she's, like, it's weird,

because she's kind of in sweats. Yeah. She's always smoking a cigarette, and usually when people smoke cigarettes in movies, it makes me want one real bad. Not this movie. Every time she's- It did to me. It really did to me.

It made you want a cigarette? I was like watching some little parts of this this morning to like remind me of what happens in the movie. And I like stopped at all the cigarette parts. I'm like, ooh, yum. So I actually was, so I have a pack of like cloves in my apartment. I'm like just for a special occasion kind of thing. Never know. And I was like, do I have a pack of like cloves in my apartment that I'm like just

for a special occasion kind of thing. Never know. And I was like, do I want a clove? You never know when there might be an Evanescence concert. Shut up. That'd be great, right? I know. I would love to go to an Evanescence concert.

But yeah. Oh, also, Power Man 5000 is playing on my birthday. Wow. This year in Los Angeles. You guys want to go? Where are they playing? I don't know. Yeah, absolutely. You guys want to go? Where are they playing? I don't know. Yeah, absolutely.

You guys want to go? Yeah, I'll go. I bet we could get free tickets, Matt. Yeah, sure. If we just DM them. If you know, we should get Spider to do this show. Oh. We could talk about the Matrix.

Yeah. Which I don't think is free with ads. But yes, we'll see you all at the Power Man 5000 concert. On April 14th. I can't wait to free with ads. But yes, we'll see you all at the Power Man 5000 concert. On April 14th. I can't wait to see where they're playing. I think it's, I mean, I'll find out. Okay. But I'm very excited.

I was like, what should I do for my birthday? 38 is so meh. And then I saw that and I was like, there it is. There, yeah. Today I'm turning 5,000. I know that's not him. I know that's not him. That's his brother. I know that's not him. I know that's not him. That's his brother.

I know that's not him. That's not him. This is him. That's Power Man. That's the Power Man we know. I'm in the back of my Draguna. But no, that's Spider-Man's brother. I know.

Rob Zombie. So don't, you know, Spider-Man may be very sensitive about that. They're all great. A lot of great. The whole zombie family. Yeah, yeah. But wait, what were we talking about? Oh, I don't know.

Intervention, cigarettes, cloves. That's a rumor. But sometimes when I watch people smoke it, I'll go, ooh, I could have a clove right now. But then I was like, no, I don't even want one. It's just, I don't know, there's something, it, I could have a clove right now. But then I was like, no, I don't even want one. It's just, I don't know, there's something, it's not enticing in this movie for me. So the rehab basically just like fixes her in one. It's done.

Her journey is over. She gets better at rehab. She goes home and like fixes the company. There's this moment where she says, okay, I have a new direction for the company. I've been designing clothes for the everyday woman. I've been talking to women and asking them what they want. And I want to give them what they want again. Are we going to see this?

No, she's like, we don't see this happening. She's like, I did this. I'm like, oh, well, that would have been a cool scene to see you, a fucking insane, coked out, snobby weirdo talking to a regular woman and finding out what she actually wants. Oh, that is a great idea. Like, again, just like, I did this. And just trust me, I did it. We don't want to show it to you. I'm telling you, I did this. Also, so she sketches a lot with the clothes and stuff,

but you can't really even see the sketches. I know. You get like a little flash of a sketch and it's like, can I at least see the sketches? Because you're not even showing us the clothes. Like, I want to see something that's, I don't know, exciting to look at. She says, I'm a genius. Trust me.

You know I'm a genius because I'm telling you I'm a genius. Yeah. I know that it's probably there's some licensing or whatever. Of course. But it's like, I don't know. I just want to see something exciting. So this is pretty much the end of the movie. She turns the company around

and we get one final needle drop. Finally, it happened to me. And I'm like, I'm jamming on this part. So I'm like going out with a good feeling. We see a little like afterwards. It says she turned the company around, but she still doesn't wear sandals. Oh!

Ow! Ow! Yeah. Yeah, so that is House of Versace. Before we get to our ratings, let's talk about the best line in the movie. Okay. My line for this week is just a piece of music that plays under her cocaine freakout. I think we've mentioned that the cocaine freakouts aren't that severe, but this fucking music is brilliant. I think whoever composed this music understands what it's like to be coked out of your mind and has a perfect musical illustration of that.

Matt, can we play this? Please try and find some time to rest, okay? Doesn't this make you feel crazy? Oh my god! Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches of damn in the bag of mad desert walls. and do the witch's a damn in the bag of mad.

Desert Rose. Who composed this music? This is fucking brilliant. Damn in the bag of mad. Oh, my God. Well, you're going to have to make that song something in every episode. Yeah, Matt, save the cocaine music. For when one of us is going off the rails about something.

So you have a favorite line in the movie, right? Well, I don't know, but I certainly can't top that. I'm just going to show you more paint mixing. Okay. No, okay. So the first introduction to any of the characters, any line of dialogue by any of the characters is just Gianni Versace getting models and stuff ready. And these are the first, this is the first few lines that he even says in the movie and it makes me want to die. Bigger, bigger, like she's been having sex all night. Smokier, like she slept in it.

No, brows, brows, per favore. Did I hire Frida Kahlo? He's got the Jean-Claude Van Damme delivery, but he don't have the Jean-Claude Van Damme butt. He's got the, yeah. He doesn't care. It's like an AI was like, what's an Italian man? Yes, make sex hair.

Make hair good. Time for pizza. Yeah. It's like. Yeah. Time for pizza. Time for pizza. Time for pizza.

Time for pizza. Time for pizza. So we're going to rate this movie on a scale of 1 to 10 super loud commercials. But before we do that, we have to take another break before the ratings. We got to take a cocaine break. Yeah, okay. We're going to do a break before the ratings. Right. We got to take a cocaine break. Yeah, okay. We're going to do a little rowdy powder. We're going to find us a little booger sugar, and then we're going to come back and rate our movie.

Play us out. Right after this. Yeah, play us out, Matt. No! No! Wrong song. This is Free With Ads. It's the MaxFunDrive. MaximumFun.org slash join.

Matt had to pay $75,000 to match up Desert Rose with the cocaine music from House of Versace. But it was worth it. It was worth it. Well, to you guys, I had to pay out of my pocket. No, we really liked it. It was really funny and totally worth it. It was worth it. Well, to you guys, I had to pay out of my pocket. No, we really liked it. It was really funny and totally worth it. Thank you. But we want to help Matt and Maximum Fun recoup some of that loss.

Yes. So we're asking people to go to MaximumFun.org slash join. No, but seriously, the money that folks give at MaximumFun.org slash join keeps the show going. It keeps all the Maximum Fun shows going. It is a worker-owned co-op, and we love them. They're the reason we're here. A lot of great levels to give at. Five bucks a month. That's awesome.

We love it. You get all of our bonus content. Emily, I don't know that we've landed on the exact TV pilots that we're doing, but what other TV pilots have you seen on Free With Ads? X-Files is on there. X-Files. Mork-Files is on there. X-Files. Mork & Mindy is on there. Also, a show that I loved back when VH1 was in its heyday of reality TV,

Screen Queens is on there, which is a reality competition show where hopeful actresses try to get a part on Saw in one of the Saw franchise movies. Oh my gosh, Okay, listen. There's two seasons. We're going to watch these and we're going to review them for you. But you can only listen to them if you go to MaximumFun.org slash join.

The bonus content is so much fun. There's over 300 hours of it. All of the shows just do crazy weird stuff. They go off format. Jesse Thorne and I recorded an episode in a boat one year. We did a drinking game. Hang on. I don't want to do that. No, we watched

ALF and that was as much fun. Okay, hold on. Emily? Yeah? We can get drunk during one of these. Can we? Yes. Okay. Maximumfun.org slash join and Emily and I will get drunk and watch the X-Files pilot okay

this is our promise to you that's good because I'm going to get real scared oh no I'm going to be so I need to get drunk

but there's so much good stuff. I really want to shout out for 10 bucks a month, you can get an enamel pin, our Jean-Claude Van Dump Truck big old butt pin. Yep. I would love to see that

on someone in public sometime. Oh, that would make me very, very happy. Yes. So please get the pin and then stalk us relentlessly because we want to see the pen out in public. Outside. Make everyone horny. Everyone will be horny when they see your butt pin.

Yeah. No, seriously. We're so excited to be doing this show. And we want to make sure that MaxFun knows that people love this show. And the way they know that is if people go to MaximumFun.org slash join. What you do when you go there, you tick off all the shows you listen to. You got to tick off free with ads, right? Yes.

We're not mad. Yeah. Nobody's mad. I is the only show you listen to. We're not mad. Yeah. Nobody's mad. I'm not gonna be mad at that. Nobody's mad. And thank you. Yes, thank you so much.

It is, it is so cool to be working for this company that is not giant and evil. Yeah. It is small and nice. Yeah. And cute.

I have an example of why it's small and nice. Why? So, when I first started working here, you know, I was just part-time working for Jordan Jesse Go. Yes. And, it came a here, you know, I was just part time working for Jordan

Jesse Go. Yes. And it came a point where at some point I was like, hey, you know, if ever you guys have some extra hours laying about somewhere, maybe I could work those. And then one thing led to another. You guys came in with this pitch. And one thing led to another. You guys came in with this pitch.

And unlike, I think, other companies that are, you know, faceless, evil organizations, this one said, hey, this would be a great idea for a podcast. And why not? Hey, Matt, you want to produce it?

We are about to rate House of Versace on a scale of 1 to 10 super loud commercials because that's what you're going to have to pay to watch this movie on YouTube. I'll go first. Okay. There's a lot of stuff I liked about the movie. Gina Kershaw, obviously, knocking it out of the park. Raquel Welsh still looks great.

Oof. And some fun moments and some, you know, funny camp that I think it's done well. But I think ultimately I was pretty bored by this, and it seemed like a big wasted opportunity. I think, yeah, I think there's a better version of this movie with Gina Gershon in the lead role, something that plays up the camp a little bit more, something that kind of gets the comedy of it.

So I am going to give this five commercials. Wow. Some fun moments, but I don't think it works. That's how many I was going to give it as well. Okay. And I'm just – Look at us. I think you're – that's so generous of you.

No, no, no. I mean, there's a lot to like. I didn't like – I wasn't like tearing my eyes out while I was watching this. No. But I was just kind of like feeling bummed at the wasted potential. Yes, that's true. But for some reason, I've watched it twice. And I was like, oh, God, am I going to watch this again?

And then it just kind of, I don't know. It's like going into lukewarm bath water. You're like, I'm in here. Yeah. Even the depressing shit isn't that depressing. She always seems fine. Yeah, she always seems fine. The hair always looks good.

Yeah, I thought five is good. Five is good. Yeah. Five is she good. It's the amount of meatballs on my... Are we not supposed to do that voice anymore? I don't know. Well, they did it the whole movie.

That's true. So I don't know. Put me in the movie. Well, hey, that was House of Versace. Before we go, a couple of plugs. Emily, anything going on? Anything going on? Oh, I just started an Etsy store.

Hey! Flim Gems. I'm making a snap into a flim gem. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm on Etsy if you want to check it out. I'm trying to keep things in stock, but I'm having a lot of fun doing it. And I know it's just like, oh, another white girl making jewelry.

Yeah, it's that. You're white? Yeah. Wow. So white. I had no idea. I had a nice childhood, and I like to be creative. There's nothing wrong with that.

But also I had a little mini series podcast for mythicalsociety.com. It's the GMM paid platform that is really cool. We've all done things for it. Yeah, a lot of good stuff over there. You can also see me and Matt get fake married and have a fake baby shower on it. There you go. For characters that we do. What do you mean fake?

Oh, Matt. Oh, no. Oh, God. Oh, he's crushed. But the funny story, though, he was, like, about to get married when we did the wedding, and then he had his baby, baby like days before we did the baby oh my gosh mere days um but yeah jenna purdy and i have a two-part podcast um all about dating horror stories and i forgot what the fucking name of it was it's over there it's over there you'll
