Hello, the internet, and welcome to this best and worst of the decade of Dirty Daily Zeitgeist! I don't know if that
even made sense, but
I'm Jack. I'm
joined by super producer Anna
Hosmy.
Everyone has fallen apart.
And two wonderful guests.
Caitlin Durante.
Hi. And Shireen
Laniunas.
I don't know what the fuck I walked into.
I regret everything.
I know.
I apologize.
We just pulled Shireen in here as she walked in the building.
She did not have any time to prep.
And I had plenty of time to prep and I did not prep anything.
So I'm just going to be commenting on everybody else's.
So basically the idea is
I wanted everybody to
come with a underrated,
overrated, and myth
about some
different areas. Movie,
music, person,
news story, innovation.
So, yeah.
And everybody filled out parts of that.
And so we're just going to go through.
This will be sort of our decade in review.
So, guys, let's talk about movies up top. I think that's one that everybody has an opinion of about what is your overrated movie or movie trend of the decade.
Caitlin Durante.
Thank you so much for giving me this platform.
I think you only wanted one from every category but I did list like
five. I also have like
several underrateds in movies.
I have a whole category that I
made up that you did not ask for.
I have several movies
in that category.
Okay, starting with our overrated.
La La Land.
That was my first one!
That was Sophie Lichterman's too oh we are not original
same no we're just all on the same page yeah it sucked it sucked a lot uh i also hated i liked it
just joking i love la la land uh number two drive Can't stand it.
Wow, you do not like Riga.
Riga.
Riga.
I think that's part of it.
Riga.
I don't mind Riga, but I just don't like that movie at all.
I also did not care for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Thought that was highly overrated.
I've been here for like maybe
five minutes and I got both of those already.
I have a few more. Let's see if you got these.
Okay, well. Hereditary.
Yeah, I said it.
It's overrated in K.
No, you just said it.
I did.
Spring Breakers.
Spring Breakers. That was on a lot of
lists of people's best movies of the decade.
Yeah, and I was like, what are you talking about?
It was just like a horny guy movie made by a horny dude.
I know a lot of people who love it, though, and I simply don't understand.
The protagonist leaves 30 minutes into the movie.
Harmony and Corinne has a lesion of such dedicated fuckboys.
Truly.
Yes. The same guys are just like, beach bum, perfect movie.
Beach bum.
Ugh.
And then I think the same applies.
These three directors, so Yargos Whatever's Face, who did Hereditary in Midsommar.
I may have gotten his name wrong.
Yargos.
Harmony Korine, I can't stand.
And then, or no, sorry.
Yargos is the lobster.
That's my other movie.
Yeah, yeah, I was going to say.
Overrated lobster?
Lobster's also on my list of overrated.
Did you like Dogtooth?
No, I don't.
I didn't.
I don't like this movie.
I like Yargos.
I like Dogtooth.
I can't stand him.
And then, wait, who did Hereditary in Midsommar?
That was Ari Aster.
Ari Aster.
Forget it.
Dog Tooth is 2009, so we're not allowed to talk about it.
Yeah, well, you brought it up, Jack.
Yeah, your fault.
My bad.
My bad.
Miles is, I don't know.
Miles' overrated movie is all films with a white savior theme.
Oh, sure.
Of course.
I mean, that's a cop out.
I feel like you could just name a movie.
Green Book.
Fine.
Yeah, Green Book.
I mean, no one liked Green Book.
Did anyone like Green Book?
Yeah, what the fucking best picture Oscar award?
No, it didn't.
Yes, it did.
No, that was last year.
No, that was last year.
Yeah, I fucking hate Green Book.
I thought it was a mistake.
No, that was last year. No, that was last year.
Yeah, I fucking hate Green Book.
And Miles' under is Blockers.
Blockers was great.
Miles loves Blockers.
I also think he only started watching movies last year.
It is a fun movie, though.
It is.
I think overrated overall is the
how much do I want
my mentions just completely
blown up a lot
the Marvel movies
overrated okay Martin Scorsese
I know
it's not cinema
it's not cinema
I also think Martin Scorsese's movies are
overrated I mean I put the Irishman on there.
Overrated, yeah. No, I feel you
on that. Fuck the Irishman.
It's just like, it's an okay movie
but
I couldn't get past the weird
de-aging shit. I mean, everyone
looks a little bit smoother, but at the end of the day
they're still hunched
over melty wax
puppets pretending to be young again
and that was just sad as hell to me
that was so sad
Shireen coming in with the hottest of takes
and more overrated movies
than anyone even though she only had
two minutes to prepare
no but really that was more sad
than any of the plot
seeing these old men pretending to be young
I don't know.
I thought the most
effective
performance was when Joe Pesci
was pretending to be slightly older
than he was when he was like
the old kid. That was the whole movie.
They were all just like every
other scene like okay now it's been two years.
Now I'm really old. Now it's two years.
I also was very frustrated that they, like, this movie spans all of the, like, 40s, 50s, 60s, and they played one song the whole time just over and over again.
Which is, like, a fine song in the still of the night.
All that CGI cost money.
Yeah.
I don't know, man.
You think Scorsese's made of money?
No, I just think Scorsese should hire people with good taste in music to pick soundtracks for him.
Not possible.
Like you.
Do you want to be his sound?
What?
No.
I don't even like him.
Music supervisor?
Like that.
Okay.
Like that.
Like Kubrick used to use his daughter, and she had great taste in music.
You're not going to ask me?
Oh, did I forget to ask you?
Wow.
Oh, man.
Jack, erasing women from the conversation.
So if you know, I'm going to go home and see my father so you're foreshadowing.
Super producer Anna Hosnier, what is your overrated movie?
Overrated? Dunkirk
I'm over it
Fuck it
It was boring, there were no fucking women
We get it, war happened
Enough of these war movies that take 45 minutes
For one scene to happen
I can't do it anymore
Oh the one where they were
She's like can I help you?
And they're like get the fuck out of where they're like she's like can I help you and they're like
get the fuck out of here
exactly
they're like rude to her
she's like
she's a nurse
she's trying to help you
okay
okay
okay
okay
can't stand
you know
I'm not a huge
Christopher Nolan person
really
I liked Inception
because I like
I like the visuals
and how the story
was really interesting
but then he killed it
for me when he said
it was a filmmaking metaphor.
I was like,
Inception came out in 2010.
So that is a movie this decade.
Okay.
Well,
whatever.
So,
what do you want me to say?
Guys,
I have very interesting insights to offer.
Underrated.
Thanks for asking.
I would say Spotlight.
Oh, sure.
I feel like it went by and people were just kind of like,
yeah, I mean, that was Catholic priest.
It did win Best Picture, right?
Yeah, but then no one ever spoke about it again.
Yeah, it's not in the conversations that people are having.
Yeah, for the year-enders.
But also anything by Taika Waititi.
Not Thor.
I mean, like, his, like, true, like, boy,
hunt for the wilder people.
Yeah.
What we do in the shadows.
I feel like there's one more I'm forgetting.
Jojo Rabbit.
He just got Jojo Rabbit out.
No, the other, the, he,
this is all previous to, to like Blockbuster Taika.
I'm talking like.
Right.
I'm talking like working with the New Zealand Film Administration Academy or whatever it is.
Yeah.
YTT.
Because he was killing it.
He is great.
He's the great.
I feel like he's one of the great film comedy writers of our time.
He is hilarious.
He's a great actor.
That's the other thing.
He doesn't,
he directs a lot,
but he doesn't show up in a lot of his films unless,
you know,
it's like here or there he's there.
He's around.
But when he does,
and this is the most important thing is that he's hot.
He's like,
fuck a ball.
Yeah.
He's rock hard at all times.
His.
What?
Also, the best thing about him him if you follow him on instagram he only posts photos that other people took of him trying to sleep on set and it's
hilarious that's a fun present and it's like he'll just try and sleep anywhere where it's like
five different like chairs lined up to create a bed for him or like he's like asleep in a baby stroller
or just wherever he can catch
a quick Z he's there
I love that about him
Sophie Lichterman's Underrated which I like
is Bridesmaids
oh yeah I mean everyone likes
that movie though I think so but
maybe it's just another thing of like people don't
really talk about it anymore
you guys ever see that movie Submarine it's on my list of people don't really talk about it anymore. It's not on their year-end list. Right, right, right. You guys ever see that movie Submarine?
It's on my list, but I have not seen it.
Oh, I thought you meant it's on your list of-
Oh, my watch list.
Sorry, sorry, my watch list.
It came out in 2010.
I haven't seen it.
Anyways.
Can I share my underrateds?
Yes.
I would like to, too, when I get permission.
You go first, Shreen.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
I have a couple underrateds.
One of them is the Nathan For You special,
Finding Frances,
which is like a feature length thing.
Yes!
I'm obsessed with Nathan Fielder.
He is the funniest.
His show is the best thing.
It's the best.
It's my favorite kind of comedy ever.
And that special,
it's like an 85 minute finale,
essentially.
And it is so, so good.
It's incredible.
So that's one of my underrateds.
No one talks about it. Do you have any that are actually movies?
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
Wow, shots.
She loves Love Actually.
There's one,
I saw this one,
not when it came out,
because I didn't even hear of it
until someone told me about it,
but Brigsby Bear.
No one talks about Brigsby Bear. It's this ending movie with Kyle Mooney. i didn't even hear of it until someone told me about it but brigsby bear no one talks about brigsby bear it's kyle mooney yeah it is so funny is it i
really liked it um it's so underrated uh i thought spider-man is the spider-verse was really fun time
oh my god the best movie of the ever uh and then i uh the handmaiden which was this yeah
in 2016 i have told so many people fuck you jack no no i'm just laughing
at my own reaction to things every time i bring it up everyone's like the handmaid's tale and i'm
like no there's a movie yeah there's a movie a korean beautiful fucking movie that's called the
handmaiden it's been on amazon this entire time no one fucking fucking watches it. It is so beautiful. It's
such a good story. It is so good.
It is so good. Everyone needs to watch The Handmaiden.
A South Korean erotic
psychological thriller. Yes. It is
so beautiful. And my last one
is one
it's 2011. What's this decade? Yeah, that
counts.
This movie called Perfect Sense. It's like
a really dramatic movie with Eva Green and it's like a really dramatic movie
with Eva Green
and
it's like a sci-fi
that everyone loses
their senses one by one
and the reason why
I love this movie
is that I still listen
to the soundtrack
to go to sleep
it's like this beautiful
like
orchestral
instrumental
piano music soundtrack
it is so
so lovely
and it's a really
beautiful movie
but no one fucking
knows about it
yeah I didn't.
The Handmaiden is by the guy who made Oldboy.
Yeah. Oh, shit.
That's one of my favorite movies of all time.
You love Oldboy? That shit bums me out.
Yeah.
I mean, it's not like a fun
romp. It's not on the romp-o-mator.
Caitlin romp-o-mator.
But the fact that you love Oldboy and had no
idea that The Handmaiden existed,
that is criminal.
Proves your point.
That's criminal.
Handmaiden is number one underrated.
Okay.
Okay, your floor.
Thank you so much.
The Handmaiden is number one on my underrated list.
Oh, is it?
Yes.
Damn.
Followed by.
Same number one.
Well, I listed it first. I'm not necessarily ranking them.
Followed by. These'm not necessarily ranking them.
These are lesser underrated movies, just so people know.
No, because what I had listed last are Paddington and Paddington 2, which I still feel are underrated because there are large swaths of people who do not think that they're like, oh, you like that movie?
This is supposed to be a dumb kids movie, right?
No one realizes.
See, Brigsby Bear was on my radar.
I haven't seen it yet,
but I'm aware of all bear content out there because of Paddington and Paddington 2.
Jack the Bear?
Jack the Bear?
Isn't that a movie?
Is it?
Never mind.
Don't pay no attention to me.
But the argument, like the children argument,
I think it applies to my underrated Spider-Verse
because everyone's like,
oh, it's a cartoon.
It's an animated.
It's superhero.
Ew.
But it's such a good movie.
So good.
And I love it.
It's great.
And then also Dora and the Lost City
is one of the best movies of the decade.
What?
I have not seen it.
Holy shit.
It's again,
it's maybe perhaps,
okay,
it's just so funny. Everyone needs to
see it. It's great. Everyone
brushed it aside when it came out.
I think it's a kids movie. What, Dora?
I saw it. It was fun. It's good. Jack the Bear
is a movie, according to
Sophie Lichterman.
Sorry to doubt you. Where is Sophie right now?
She's in the other room listening.
Listening and sending me
messages.
This is strange.
Okay, so then I have the category that you did not ask me to list movies for,
which is appropriately rated movies,
a.k.a. what I think are the best movies of the decade,
which that other people also agree are the best. Okay.
So on this list, I have Mad Max Fury Road.
Yeah.
See, Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse I put on this list
because I feel like
it is making lists
it's making the list
decade end
the social network
ooh
I like it too
but I was
going to be ashamed
of admitting it
I was too scared
I'm not ashamed
alright
I'm here for it
good
and even though
you know
Aaron Sorkin is whatever
and some of the other people
who worked on it are blah blah blah. But like
it's a great movie. Trent Reznor.
That movie belongs to Trent Reznor.
Tell me about it. Hot take.
Parasite, of course. Oh yeah, of course.
And Get Out. Yes.
I think they're all appropriately highly rated.
Yeah, I like that
category. Thank you. I agree with everything you said. I don't know. I mean. Yeah. I like that category. Thank you.
I agree with everything you said.
I don't know.
I mean, I'm not like a huge social network fan, but I love Parasite and I love, what
was the one before that one that you said that I was not into?
Fury Road?
Oh, Get Out.
Get Out.
Or Get Out, yeah.
Get Out and Parasite.
Yeah.
Get Out is, will be, I feel like, the movie that people look back on this decade and are like,
that is the movie of the decade, and it didn't even win the Academy.
Don't remind me.
It won Best Screenplay.
That was it.
Yeah.
Screenplays are stupid.
What's your underrated?
I told you.
She said.
You did?
Yeah.
Any film by Taika Waititi and Spotlight.
Who are you again?
I'm your daughter.
All right.
Did I miss anyone's underrated?
Nick didn't give us an underrated.
Oh, are we doing myths about movies?
Oh, yeah.
Do we have any myths?
I got one that the movie The House with Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler isn't hilarious.
That's a myth.
It's so funny.
It's fucking funny.
It's hilarious.
Is it?
I didn't see it.
I've never seen it.
It has one of the hardest laughs that I've had in the past.
Yes.
Yeah.
I almost, maybe I did pee myself a little.
It involves Jeremy Renner.
Oh, baby.
It's the funniest thing I've ever seen.
You know, it starts out slow, but it picks up, and people hate it.
It has the worst reviews, but I find it so funny.
Yeah.
I don't like Renner.
It's not like the movie's about him.
He's just a random...
You would like this
because of what happens
to Renner.
Jeremy Renner
is my
person of the decade.
He, I think,
is underrated as a performer now
because of his Marvel shit.
But his performance in The Town is fucking good.
I hate The Town.
He definitely has good performances.
He's so good in The Town.
I hate Ben Affleck.
I hate The Town.
Ben Affleck?
Ben Affleck.
Because you're very benevolent about Ben Affleck?
Ben Affleck.
I don't know.
Ben Affleck.
Ben Affleck. Wow. Oh, shit. don't know. Ben Affleck. Ben Affleck.
Wow.
Oh, shit.
I heard that here first.
Ben Affleck.
Cut to news story
of him tomorrow
going back to rehab
because you hurt
his feelings so hard.
Fuck that guy.
I don't care.
Damn.
All right.
You guys ready for Dan's takes
now that he's on his way
to Europe?
Dan said,
overrated,
real CGI remakes
of Disney classics.
Lion King was trash.
Get the fuck out.
On the other hand,
different styles of animation,
less Pixar, more Into the Spider
Verse or Kubo. Although
I will say there were some good Pixar
movies this decade.
Like Toy Story 4.
Toy Story 4, which I really like.
I think they did a good job
with sequels this decade, actually.
Yeah, they started making,
like, at a certain point,
they were like,
hey, you know what?
Even if the, like,
sequels can be better
than the previous movies,
and sometimes the sequel can be,
like, good,
and the previous movies
can be terrible, like the Fast and the Furious
films and then he said
myth premium food is not the upgrade
that movie theaters need which I agree with
and then he said weed
smoking sections are man
okay still
he said it just like that
why don't you do what we all do which is vape
in our hoodies okay
right exactly what's wrong with this guy Why don't you do what we all do, which is vape in our hoodies, okay? Right.
Exactly.
What's wrong with this guy?
All right.
And Dan is a musician, so let's use him to vault into the music section.
But before we do that, we're going to take a quick break.

On the Renee Stubbs Tennis Podcast, I get the chance to do what I love,
talk about how tennis and other women's sports are growing and changing,
and what the future holds.
I think I just genuinely loved what I did. I love this waking up, putting on my sports gear. I still believe it was so rewarding.
Maybe you can relate to it as well. As a woman, I think it's a very powerful feeling to
have a job at which you're able to see improvements in real time. On the show,
we dissect everything going on in the game
straight from the biggest players in the world.
Plus, serve up recaps of all the matches and headlines in the game,
including a rundown of the US Open every Monday.

And we're back.
And all right.
Dan says, overrated.
People releasing albums that are like 20 plus tracks.
It doesn't need to be that long.
I would agree with that.
I would too.
Just as like, if you have that much content, like split it up.
Like save the rest of it for next year.
And then you can be like, yeah, I put out a whole other album.
And people will be impressed that you're putting out like an album every year.
Yeah.
You know?
As somebody who likes to be very selective in the amount of content that I put out,
I totally identify with this.
What's everybody's overrated
musical thing?
Taylor Swift. Fuck Taylor
Swift. She is so overrated.
Yeah, she was on mine. All her songs
sound the same. I don't
like her personality.
Her personality is fine, whatever. I'm not judging her personality.
But I think she's
overrated. There are so many talented people out there.
Like, she didn't time.
I think they named her Entertainer of the Decade.
Right?
Yeah.
Somebody did.
Billboard.
Something.
I don't know.
I just think she's just, I'm over it.
She should have went, like, White Girl of the Decade.
And then she gave a speech about, like, if I was a man, I would just be the man or something.
Like, I only get like people, no one ever says, I like his music, but there's something about him I don't like.
Or like, whatever.
She gave a speech where she was basically like, I'm only discriminated because I'm a woman.
But I was like, no, it's because you're bad.
Right.
And also, not true.
People say that all the time.
Yeah, right.
Like Kanye West.
Exactly.
When he like went up and did that thing.
People were like, I hate him exactly um i would agree that she's like when i uh i talk about how in the 60s the year
that give me shelter the song that like people associate in movies with the 60s came out the
number one song that year was Sugar Sugar by the
Archie band. Like by the Archies.
Sing it for us, please.
Sugar Sugar
Keep going.
Yeah, honey, honey
We can't afford this.
You are my candy girl.
Anyways,
Gimme Shelter didn't even come out as a single.
I feel like Taylor Swift will be the thing we look back on and we're like,
oh yeah, people loved Taylor Swift back then,
even though we'll all be listening to Nickelback.
Wasn't there the whole thing where she like,
there was a long time where people kept being like,
hey, Taylor, what do you think about white supremacy?
It's bad, right?
And she just like wouldn't comment.
And then recently she was just like,
well, I didn't think it would help
to say that it was bad.
And it's like,
what are you talking about?
It's like all your fans started using you.
It's white feminism 101
to only care about your own fucking thing
and not give a shit about anyone else.
And then she's like,
well, I don't want to be political.
But really her not being political was an act of
politics. Right.
She only came out and said something because
her fans were being like she's our white
queen. Exactly.
She's a fucking hack.
What's everybody
does anybody have a overrated
anyone any other overrated
music? Ed Sheeran.
Does anyone actually like his music, though?
I guess.
I mean, he's on there.
Okay, I don't know if anyone saw the movie Yesterday,
but he basically is in that movie saying,
I'm the second best musician of all time behind the Beatles.
Isn't that wild?
But he thinks he's great.
But he's probably making fun of himself, right?
Who knows?
I can't tell.
It's not super clear,
but I cannot stand
the sound of any of his songs.
I have a personal vendetta against him only because
people think
he's a similar name to me.
Oh sure.
Ed Sheeran Yunus?
I just don't like that he has a similar name.
I want to be unique.
What else?
Jack, I have one that's going to hurt you, but it's Chance the Rapper.
Oh.
That doesn't hurt me.
Oh, he's over it?
Over it.
Over it.
Wow, that was quick.
A month ago, you were singing his praises.
I don't know.
I just, there's something about the, like, he's such a good guy.
Oh, yeah.
It bums me out.
I don't know why.
It's so, like, it feels so, like. I love acid rap. Okay, acid. It bums me out. I don't know why. It's so like, it feels so like...
I love acid rap.
Okay, acid rap was great.
Yeah.
The Big Day was bad.
The Big Day is trash as fuck.
I hate it.
And I was like,
okay, so you get some,
you make some money
and all of a sudden you put out,
like, what are we doing here?
Coloring book is good too.
I like...
Also, I would say Drake.
Drake is overrated.
Thank you. He's very overrated.
I think, yeah.
Frank Ocean.
I think people,
like Drake will be
the Archie band
of this decade,
but Frank Ocean
will be the gimme shelter.
I love Frank Ocean.
He's so great.
He's so great.
He's underrated
and also underrated
Dev Hines.
I'm obsessed with Dev Hines.
Blood Orange is my,
on Spotify,
my artist of the whatever,
like the person I love the most.
Oh really?
Yeah.
But like no one,
I mean,
no one else would have him
as their top,
but everyone should
because he's great
and I love Blood Orange.
Yeah,
Blood Orange is good.
Yeah,
Dev Hines,
underrated.
Sorry,
that made me think of the movie Tangerine,
which is another underrated movie
of the decade.
And Florida Project.
Florida Project also underrated.
I haven't seen it yet.
Is it made by the same person?
Yeah.
I feel like it is.
Yeah, it is.
Sean Baker.
Under.
From Miles.
Carly Rae Jepsen.
Yeah, emotional is fun.
Miles says, I feel like she makes great pop music.
It doesn't get nearly the kind of attention some of these hacks like Katy Perry get.
She writes most of their music too.
Carly Rae Jepsen does?
That's how she came into the industry.
She was a songwriter and she wrote most of these.
Her and fucking
Robin. They're really underrated pop stars
that write for everybody.
They write for everybody. And then like Katy Perry
is like a pop princess.
Robin was going to be
as my underrated person,
but what I put instead was
the album slash soundtrack
to Popstar Never Stop Stopping.
Oh, yeah.
I actually never saw that.
That movie is hilarious.
So good.
That movie's underrated
because people,
like it got panned by critics,
but it's hilarious.
It's hilarious.
I love it.
It was like, to me, like Hot Rod all over over again where everyone hated hot rod and i was like this movie is fucking hilarious
i loved hot rod it was so funny and so was pop star never stop what is it never stop stopping
that's great um yes that is oh sorry selena gomez why does she make music oh overrated yeah yeah she's like the
most followed person on instagram or whatever her music is trash it is the most basic crap i've ever
heard i just don't get it robin's performance of dancing on my own and call your girlfriend on snl
in 2011 everybody needs to go watch that immediately. Yes.
She's so talented.
That's my favorite musical thing of the decade.
Oh, wow.
Those performances on SNL.
You mean like the side-by-side thing that the, what is his name that he did?
He did the dance that she does in the video to,
I think it's Call Your Girlfriend.
Call Your Girlfriend.
I'm sick.
But is it
Taryn Kern?
I don't know.
Someone does
like a
he like
recreated the dance
that she does in the video
and then plays it
side by side
and it's brilliant.
Oh that's awesome.
That dance is very hard to do.
Like she like
gets on the ground
she like flips over
it's really cool.
It's really like. It's a
true study. I've
watched it so many times.
That SNL performance? No, the actual music
video where she's in that gym.
Which is like a one shot, right?
It's like a continuous shot.
Single performance.
Legend. Miles is overrated.
It is Festival
EDM.
Shots fired to DJ Channel!
No explanation, just like,
yeah, fuck. You guys get
it, right? Festival EDM.
But then he also
said underrated as Kaytranada,
who just released an album, and I think
Miles is feeling
that album very hard.
He's Kayt up to his next album
Super producer
Sophie Lichterman
listed a bunch of
good and bad songs
I don't know
which is supposed to be which
I'm assuming
Friday by Rebecca Black
is one of her favorites
Underrated
Underrated
It's time
It's never ring time
And then
Call Me Maybe
is overrated
she said Truth Hurts she said Liz Maybe is overrated, she said.
Truth Hurts, she said Lizzo's overrated.
What?
Adele.
That's a hot take.
Nicki Minaj, overrated.
Wait, Sophie, get in here now.
She's saying.
I'm just joking.
No, I'm pretty sure Rebecca Black is the only one that she thinks is bad.
So she listed for the good songs,
Bodak Yellow, Formation, Beyonce.
Thank you, Next, Ariana Grande.
Shake It Off or Blank Space, Taylor Swift.
Are those good?
Tell us, Sophie.
Clarify.
Okay.
Oh, so they're important,
not necessarily her favorites or not favorites.
So this is very recent,
but like a day ago,
maybe even yesterday
or the day before,
Harry Styles covered Lizzo's Juice
on like a studio performance.
It is so fucking good.
Like it is so, so good.
I think he is so,
he's just like my white boy
of the moment right now.
I am all behind Harry Styles.
Zach, mark this for cutting.
No!
We're cutting this.
He's talented.
I like his brand of sexual ambiguity.
His cover of Lizzo is fucking sick.
He doesn't change any of the-
I haven't seen it yet, but my friend tweeted it at me and I forgot to watch it.
It is really, really fun.
And I really love when an artist doesn't change the lyrics.
Like, for example, he...
He's not like, she... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He just owns what it's supposed to be.
Right. And it's fucking killer.
No, Harry Styles is
like a super
human person. Like, everybody...
I've had the
privilege of being around
him and being around people who have been around him.
And they all say he's like just.
He's a good?
Yeah, he's a good.
He's like the best.
But isn't he like, except for all his like One Direction former friends were like.
No, he's just like he goes out of his way to like be really kind to people.
I like that he's like genuinely seems like a good person. Yeah. I think
he gets a lot of flack for even being
in a boy band and like maybe people dismissing his
music but he's very talented. Very talented.
And I love that one I forget which One
Direction ex-member but one of them
had this interview recently where he was like
I don't even know who Harry is anymore
like he wears an earring now and just he
got so uncomfortable with the fact that like Harry
Styles was like expressing any type of femininity it just made me love him so much probably liam
there was just like there's so much there's so much power there's so much power in like a cis man
just like wearing a skirt if he fucking wants to like i fucking love that shit same i don't know
harry styles man he's he's the one i could probably tell you right now i don't know. Harry Styles, man. He's the one. I can probably tell you right now, I don't even know what Harry Styles looks like.
I have gone through my life not observing him at all.
I don't know.
I mean, that's on you.
He's just not in my world.
That's on you.
Yeah.
That's on you, dude.
I think I'll be okay.
I think you need to take a long look at yourself in the mirror.
I think I'll literally just continue living and everything will be fine in my life.
My favorite take, because we're running out of time.
Actually, let's take another quick break and then we'll be right back
with our, we'll just close out
with some really hot
spicy takes.
When you think of Mexican culture,
you think of avocado, mariachi,
delicious cuisine,
and of course,
lucha libre. It doesn't get more Mexican than this.
Lucha Libre is known globally because it is much more than just a sport and much more than just entertainment.
Lucha Libre is a type of storytelling.
It's a dance.
It's tradition.
It's culture.
This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask, a 12-episode podcast in both English and Spanish about the history and cultural richness of Lucha Libre.
And I'm your host, Santos Escobar, the emperor of Lucha Libre and a WWE superstar.
Join me as we learn more about the history behind this spectacular sport from its inception in the
United States to how it became a global symbol of Mexican culture. We'll learn more about some
of the most iconic heroes in the ring. This is
Lucha Libre Behind the Mask.

Hello, everyone. I am
Lacey Lamar. And I'm
Amber Ruffin, a better Lacey
Lamar. Boo. Okay, everybody,
we have exciting news to share. We're back with Season 2 of, a better Lacey Lamar. Boo. Okay, everybody, we have exciting news to share.
We're back with season two of the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network.
You thought you had fun last season?
Well, you were right.
And you should tune in today for new fun segments like Sister Court and listening to Lacey's steamy DMs.

That's my husband.
Daphne Spring. Daniel Thrasher, Peppermint, Morgan J. And more. You got to watch us. No, you
mean you have to listen to us. I mean, you can still watch us, but you got to listen.

I'm Dr. Laurie Santos,
host of the Happiness Lab podcast.
As the U.S. elections approach,
it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever.
But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast,
I'll share what the science really shows,
that we're surprisingly more united than most people think.
We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics,
and that we need to do better and that we can do better.
With the help of Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki.
It's really tragic. If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison.
We'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with,
are more generous than we assume.
My assumption, my feeling, my hunch is that a lot of us
are actually looking for a way to disagree and still be in relationships with each other.
All that on the Happiness Lab. Listen on the iHeartRadio app,

And we're back.
And so miles over had Taylor Swift from an attention standpoint,
underrated women of color.
But his innovations, because that was one of the ones that we put out there,
his overrated was wireless charging,
which I think is such a good point.
I don't think it works well.
Like heading into the decade.
Yeah, like people are like,
oh, and it has wireless charging.
And it is like, it takes up more space.
It works less well.
And it's fucking stupid.
It works less well. It works less. It works less well and it's fucking stupid. It works less well.
It works less.
It works better.
And then his underrated is microdosing psychedelic drugs.
That's up.
I fucking love that.
Wait, can I?
That's innovation, right?
Yes.
So my overrated is Slack.
Please don't ever fucking Slack me.
I hate this whole concept of like, in your office messaging.
It's like,
what's,
what are we doing here?
I'm not,
I just don't like it.
Please never slack me.
Just shoot me an email.
Okay,
please don't ever be like,
didn't you see my slack?
Cause no,
I didn't.
I chose not to.
You hear that Jack?
Stop slacking.
Stop slacking me unless you're trying to verbally abuse me.
Okay.
our whole, our cut, Stop slacking me unless you're trying to verbally abuse me. Okay. We have a company-wide Slack that I famously have never checked.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, I as well.
I have no idea what's going on there.
You can email me or call me.
They're like, have you guys noticed the LA office never responds to Slack?
Yeah.
And my underrated is casting.
Genius.
What?
I'm sorry, what?
Casting.
What are you talking about?
From your phone or your computer to
a tv it's fucking oh but it always is slow for me then get better internet what do you want me to
tell you so it's genius because it fixes everything you're like i want to watch this this on my phone
wait i can just fucking slingshot it to my fucking tv like i want to watch this it's chromecast the casting on
iphones like to apple tv like i fucking love it it's my life i if i can't cast somewhere i leave
okay all right it's genius i know you've left my house several times i'm not impressed
tell you right now come on get some some casting devices. Because it makes everything so much easier.
And I think it's the most brilliant innovation of the last decade.
Nice.
Okay, good to know.
Very good.
I agree with Miles, it's underrated.
Microdosing is so underrated.
It is, I love shrooms.
Me too.
Overrated AirPods.
I think they're stupid.
And I also think what's hilarious is that they came
out with a because people kept losing them they came out with a strap for them wasn't that or
it was either an onion headline or i just believe no they did okay great see that's
that's idiotic just use regular headphones if you're gonna lose them anyway like i don't
fucking know and for me they're just a sign of like elitism that i'm just like they're so expensive they're just over it i'm just over
yeah i agree my overrated is driverless cars because even though i know it is human to error
i think that uh driverless cars will run us all over and kill us all i do not trust them
uh and my underrated is um menstrual cups and I know that they were invented
decades ago but it wasn't
until this past decade that we
saw more mainstream use of them so
shout out to the diva cup
I will say that I have never used one
bold
I know but I love
the idea of it because I don't get my period
I have a birth control thing
that like just makes me have no periods which is actually maybe the best innovation ever of all
of all is uh birth control where you don't have to have a no mine's a next plan on okay um so i
don't have periods but uh if i were i'd want them to go into a cup yeah word or or another one in mind period underwear oh sure there's
nothing truly there's nothing like free bleeding and just like making your male employees deal with
it just being like what's up i'm free bleeding and it just makes them so uncomfortable oh the
power of just free bleeding all over an office is just's just, woo! Jack is so confused.
When did that happen?
You don't know it's happening.
But I'm just, I'm like, just, woo.
Because she's wearing period underwear.
I'm looking in your eyes and I'm having a conversation with you and I'm just bleeding into my underwear.
And that is the most empowering feeling of being like, fuck you, bitch.
But I was not made uncomfortable by it, I don't think.
Was I?
I can't tell you how you feel.
See how these white men always try to put stuff on you?
Oh my god. I will not answer that.
Yeah.
Free bleeding.
Free bleeding is the
underrated innovation.
Free bleeding.
It really is an amazing feeling to know that
I don't have to worry about
my period. Yeah.
Yeah.
That's beautiful.
Yeah.
Nick Stumpf's overrated innovation.
He's like free bleeding.
Free bleeding.
Yeah.
Transition from that, Jack.
Yeah.
His overrated innovation, he said the internet, which this is the decade when the internet went from tyranny toppling to dystopian data mining, human
race commodifying
bullshit. Podcasts
are overrated. I'm just kidding. Where am I?
What was his underrated?
Yeah, what's underrated? He
gave me underrated
institution.
Okay. What is it?
What is it?
He went in some weird directions, guys.
Underrated institution, the sacred.
What?
Is he talking the secret?
The sacred.
Like this decade could be said to be the one that saw the death of the concept of sacred,
wherein something is revered and protected by that reverence.
Oh, we get it.
You're not on social media.
Next.
Overrated.
Dan didn't do an overrated innovation.
Yes, he did. Overrated.
Buried lime scooter under Tesla
solar roof tiles.
Those never came out.
No? No.
Really? Yeah, he introduced them at a thing, but then they never came out. But then yeah he introduced them at a thing but then they never
came out but then he did too much acid and forgot right he's like whoops uh all the sustainable
energy innovations tesla is making maybe they did come out and then he said myth that virtual
reality is a gimmick it's not i'll die on this hill. He loves the art. That's interesting.
Yeah. Well, I think a lot of people just
dismiss it being like,
oh, just like 3D glasses when really
it's really immersive and shit.
Maybe that's what he means. I don't know. I'm talking for him.
Before we close out, I don't know what your plans are.
Can we do person? Yes.
Sorry, I just want to give Sophie's
overrated innovation,
smart speakers,
which, yeah. But underrated rear view cameras in cars, which I like.
Oh, yeah. I wish I had one.
They became mandatory in all cars in 2012.
That's the only reason I can parallel park.
The new version of that is the screens, the car play where you're like you no longer have to look at your phone
because the screen in your car.
Oh, it takes it over.
Wait, is that a thing?
Yeah, it's like casting onto your car screen.
Yeah, that's like in the newer model cars.
Like if you rent a car.
What?
Yeah, it's really good.
So just like your Google map will just be on your windshield?
Yeah, becomes a windshield thing.
Yeah, yeah.
I've been waiting for this my whole life.
I know.
It's been a long time coming.
It's been?
It's been.
Okay, person, people.
Shereen covered this already.
Overrated Taylor Swift.
I also had that.
I just can't.
The way she tried to be like,
oh my God, I created gay rights in a weird way.
Which is like, what are you?
You just discovered this?
Like, that song was, in my opinion, 10 years too late.
Like, come on.
Yeah.
And she just appropriates culture in weird ways.
Like, she pulls and takes what's good for her and dismisses other aspects of culture that she should acknowledge.
Why not when it's a one-on-one?
Yeah, it's very, it's a bummer.
Also, her music, I guess, I mean, look, it's just not for me.
I'm not really into like that sort of pop.
Yeah, it's bad music.
Look, some people, it's really interesting.
Like some people really, really like her and I, that's fine.
I don't get it.
Get your music where you can by whoever you like, but it just never spoke to me,
and I just don't like her as a being.
I think if I meet someone
and I find out they're a fan of Taylor Swift,
that's when I question everything about them.
Can we be friends?
I don't know.
So Sophie's underrated is Taylor Swift.
She's gonna kill you.
Sophie's underrated is Kim Kardashian,
which I kind of like.
I respect that very smart woman who
you know
gets shit done and her overrated
which I love and I think is the
right answer is Elon Musk
the most
overrated person of the
decade
we both talked about this before we started recording but
Scarlett Johansson being the
highest paid actress in the world and she I just, we both talked about this before we started recording, but Scarlett Johansson. Oh, yeah. She's my overrated.
The highest paid actress in the world.
And she sucks.
She.
Sorry.
Like, she's okay, but she plays the same thing every time.
And she's just a bad person.
Like, not, I don't mean, she's not a terrible person, but like every interview she gets, like she just had an interview with some Vanity Fair or some shit.
I don't fucking know.
But she defended Woody Allen again.
an interview with some vanity fair or some shit i don't fucking know but she defended woody allen again like she just like everything every chance she gets she just like digs her fucking grave but
she's still the highest paid actress in the world it's and then like whenever people are like oh how
about how that role you played was super whitewashed and she's just like whatever and then
if she gets cast as a like cis actor in trans role, she's like, no big deal.
It's fine.
Like, whatever.
As an actor, I could be a tree if I wanted.
It's just like, shut up.
Your takes are terrible.
She's in every movie.
And there are so many other actresses out there.
But why doesn't any studio know that?
My favorite thing about her marriage story thing, where everyone kept tweeting, can you
believe she memorized this 10-minute monologue and just delivered it?
Spot, like, perfectly.
And it's like, you're describing acting.
That's acting.
Like, what is so fascinating?
Have you seen a play before?
Not for everyone.
Marlon Brando.
Have you ever seen the pictures of him?
No.
Trying to act.
Behind the scenes in The Godfather, he's like, the people he's acting opposite have
all his lines taped to them.
Really?
Yeah, because he couldn't memorize anything.
That's hilarious.
Okay, well, Marlon Brando is another creature.
Brando?
Brando.
Brando?
I think it's just like-
Buttigieg.
Buttigieg?
Doesn't anyone else get tired of seeing her face in every movie?
Like, she was in maybe four of the movies this year that were everywhere. And it's just like doesn't anyone else get tired of seeing her face in every movie like she was in maybe four of the movies this year that were everywhere and it's just like i'm tired like i
i want to see a different person it's like emma stone had that a couple years ago jennifer lawrence
had that a couple years ago and it's every every couple years there's a white woman that's just
like in every fucking movie yeah i'm tired of it. It's an interesting thing. I think she's great.
I'm just kidding.
I also have a quick underrated person of the year.
Oh, same.
Yes, go ahead.
I'm going to say Solange Knowles for fucking knocking the shit out of Jay-Z in that elevator
and starting the goddamn renaissance, which turned into Lemonade and us being like, how
dare you, Jay-Z.
That's a great one.
That started a revolution.
The elevator started a revolution with Beyonce
and then she came out
and started dropping classic albums.
Yeah.
She's very underrated.
But that was a really interesting moment
because there's a photo of them all walking out.
Solange looks angry.
Jay-Z looks shook
and Beyonce's just smiling to herself
and that is so iconic to me because she
knew she's like and if you step to
me
I will kill you like or my family
will like this is such a strongly
or just they're bonded
so well that like my sister
will beat the shit out of you in an elevator the second they
close and we don't think there's any eyes on us
and that was a very beautiful moment in my opinion that started a
whole nother like beyonce the self-titled album self-titled album great but this started a whole
nother revolution where jay-z had to put out an album being like yeah my bad yeah that wasn't a
good look wasn't i agree so hard it's beautiful she's so underrated her music is amazing yes and it must be so hard to
be beyonce's sister like as someone who also has sisters that are like amazing like it's cool to
just like that she owns her fucking thing she doesn't like she's not competitive she's not
i just love it she her music is great and that did start a fucking wave of everything like these
women aren't just because they're famous and live
in the spotlight doesn't mean you get to just treat that like that this is a true this is a
powerhouse and how fucking dare you jay-z like i get it you're some hot shit too but don't you step
yeah to the fucking noel family and that i think was a very powerful move by that entire family to i know part of me feels
like maybe that got leaked on purpose yeah because i just feel like so in my opinion this is how i've
always seen it beyonce's whole like that leaked and then either one they were like the rumors of
him cheating on her are already getting out people know so we have to get ahead of this and i bet she i think this is how i imagine because hollywood the industry is hell is that
it's everything is so premeditated and things happen for a reason like they beyonce controls
everything that comes out about her all her documentaries are her like she gets final
like every not every bit of knowledge we know about beyonce is because beyonce has let us know
right and a part of me feels like they were like we need to get ahead of this if this drops then
we hit with them with the album where you acknowledge you've been cheated on and you
acknowledge that you're gonna leave him possibly and then he's gonna come back like it feels so
premeditated it's almost fucking genius and we bought it like fucking little like amazing
at the teat being like please mommy please more and she's like here you go and
we were like yes queen and that was it baby i wish that it just kept going for hours and then
she was like and then we were all but it's true they nailed it they fucking nailed a fucking
cheater and and we bought we And we all bought that goddamn album.
And we all said, Jay-Z, you are lucky to be here because Beyonce forgave you.
And that was amazing marketing by her team.
So shout out to underrated Beyonce's marketing team.
And agents.
Great PR.
Great PR.
And that's the industry, baby.
A couple news story myths.
Dan had the vaping crisis.
What? The vaping crisis.
What?
The vaping crisis.
The one saying vaping is bad for you?
That everybody was dying.
Well, it's not great for you.
It's not great for you. It's also not like...
I think it was put out there
by the
smoking industry.
The tobacco industry because they were
losing out on a lot of dollars
to a bunch of new technology.
And also at the very beginning of this decade,
that thing where Toyotas were accelerating out of control,
that was not actually happening.
What happened was people were hitting the accelerator and thinking they were hitting the brake.
What?
Yeah.
Are you shitting me?
No, I'm not shitting you.
They like – people who like studied it were like, oh, no, they're – when you look at the onboard computer, they were just hitting the thing.
But so the thing – it always happens to people who are in new cars and usually
people who are a little bit shorter
and so they're just like
not oriented. That is the most idiotic thing I've ever heard.
Well it's really sad because like people
died but like
weren't able to
That is dark man. Yeah. It's super dark.
Pathetic and dark at the same time.
Yeah.
Damn. Anything else? On that note. aesthetic and dark at the same time um yeah damn anything else yes well any fun ones no but
the uh well okay i'll do my best here my underrated for a news story is uh i i don't
know why we are not talking every second of every day about how we've done such irreparable damage to the environment
and how we only have a pretty short amount of time, relatively speaking,
before we start seeing major catastrophic effects.
It's going to happen in our lifetime.
It's going to ruin all of our lives.
And we don't seem that concerned about it just yet because it's not something that's happening right now that we're seeing like the catastrophic effects of.
But we need to be worried about it far more than we are.
And we need to be making changes as consumers, as people, you know, whatever, every, every.
We're all going gonna die soon.
Anyway, that's my end of the day.
Yeah, that was one of my myths was that we,
it's like this kind of weird consensus,
it feels like, that we think,
well, once we get Trump out of office,
everything will be fixed.
And it's like, no, no, the damage is done.
The damage is done.
Like, we will,
what we end up doing to try and fix it
will give us maybe like a few more years.
We are, we're fucked. Like, it's just kind of like the way of the world hey we wanted too much we did too much yeah it's not like fossil fuels was like i don't know i think they got a point yeah let's
quit that let's quit that we just dug our grave way too deep we can't crawl out at this point
yeah wow great vibes uh i also yeah go ahead i was gonna say my overrated news story of the decade
was the
Kim Kardashian
breaking the internet
with the champagne
on her butt
yeah
that was my
favorite news story
of the decade
it's my
end of my lifetime
no
what
you just think
it was stupid
yeah like
why was that news
and like why
they have taken credit for corning that term, though.
Breaking the internet?
From that time.
Oh, interesting.
Yeah, from that thing.
They were like, that's where that came from.
Weird.
I guess I hadn't heard that before.
And then Ralph breaks the internet.
Did they sue Disney for stealing their term?
Have you seen the poster where it's Ralph with the champagne pouring onto his ass?
That's hilarious. Is that real?
No, I wish. That would be
awful. That would be so funny.
Alright, I think we covered
off on a lot.
I think people know this
decade better than they did at the beginning
of this episode.
I think we all learned
a valuable lesson about...
Sophie wants me to say
the Me Too movement.
Overrated or underrated?
I'm just kidding.
Underrated?
She said that it is a myth.
No, she said...
Sophie is going to murder you.
You can't leave this video.
She said it is important.
It's important.
And I quit, she said. We are going to murder you. You can't leave this video. She said it is important. It's important.
And I quit, she said.
No, that is good.
We probably should have talked more about that.
Although we did talk about it a lot in the 2017, 18, and 19 reviews,
which she didn't do.
So to be fair to all of us.
Okay, she's still going to kill you.
Definitely. All right. Well, thank you guys so much for joining us for this. Thanks all of us. Okay, she's still going to kill you. Definitely.
All right.
