Greetings Empire member and or members.
If you are hearing my voice it means the following conditions have been met.
It means you at least once in your life have listened to the clubhouse podcast.
Your one-stop shop for all things sports and entertainment.
Live every Sunday at 70's from Fort Pacific.
But more importantly, it means you listen on iTunes because it is time for another.
The one hundred and fifty-third one of these.
Welcome.
My name is Robin.
I got a lot of people that I like to call friends in this life.
And that means I've got more riches than I could ever imagine.
It's a true story.
But I'm not alone for this particular episode.
So joining me across the desk as he tends to do is my co-host.
And a man.
I don't think it's going to have some good input on this particular episode.
And I'm not being facetious.
You'll find out why hearing just a minute.
He is chat.
Welcome sir.
Good evening my friend.
And it's a good evening to you as well.
Also joining us for this edition is the official fact checker of this show.
And a guy that's got some pretty strong opinions.
Here I'm the next few minutes of your life.
You may know him as fun, don't go, but his mom and even don't want to come.
Welcome sir.
What?
Chicken butt?
No.
Okay.
Things that we missed.
I finally had some blue belt today.
Did you?
So did I.
I got it last night.
I got some quick.
I got some cream last night.
I got it last night.
I got it.
I shed a tear.
That's what it is.
Hope you enjoyed that.
Yes we did.
We did.
Moving on.
Whatever do we do one of these?
It is normally to review something.
And this particular episode is no different.
We are here today to review the latest film from director Catherine Hardwick, who's IMDV profile picture is a wheel on a Ferrari.
So take that for what you've got.
It's a Porsche.
Thank you.
You would know her.
She directed the first Twilight film.
She also directed the red writing hood remake in 2011 as well as Lords of Dog Town.
The film is called Miss You Already.
Star's Tony Colette and Drew Barrymore.
It's a Porsche.
It's a Porsche.
It's a Porsche.
Porsche.
Porsche.
I miss red the label which is back because I'm a Porsche man myself.
I don't drive one but I've always been a fan.
Here's what you need to know.
Drew Barrymore plays Jess Tony Colette.
Tony Colette plays Millie.
They have been best friends since Jess's family moved to London when she was in elementary school.
And they've spent their entire lives together.
And as one of them is starting, they have separate paths but they're always together.
You know, Millie meets a man falls in love.
Has a berries him.
Has a couple of babies.
Drew Barrymore has a living boyfriend.
They live on a boat.
And they're trying to have a baby and they're having a little struggles.
Tragedy strikes one.
Victory strikes the other.
And we're going to go through.
This deals a lot with breast cancer.
Yes, it does.
Indeed.
And we're going to talk about that here in just a moment.
Probably.
So we got to thank Carol Smith and Galer Smith and Lions Gate.
Such wonderful people.
Yeah.
Carol's such a nice, nice lady.
We enjoy everything she does for us.
So thank you.
Carol for right.
Well, Chad was not able to attend this screening with us.
But I think he's going to have a lot to give input on this particular film.
Let's just say that front.
This is a chick flick.
Yeah.
Nothing wrong with that, though.
But you might be surprised at what we think.
What?
Totally.
Down.
Let's start with the story itself.
What did you think?
I am so conflicted on the story because.
As you said in your review and WWW dot the clubhouse podcast.com.
Which is our website.
It is indeed.
I really enjoyed.
Most.
I'm going to say the word.
Most.
80% of this film because.
And I mean, really, really enjoy.
Because this goes to the nuts and bolts of dealing with breast cancer and what these women have to deal with.
If they get this horrible disease.
I mean, it is gritty.
There are some tough things.
It is probably.
One of the most.
Detailed.
Films of of a woman dealing with breast cancer that I think.
I think that I've ever seen ever in the history of ever.
Top scenes.
But very incredible scenes.
I was loving the comedy.
I was loving.
And it wasn't for shock value.
Yeah.
Like it added to the story.
This is what they deal with.
Which I immensely, immensely enjoyed.
I even loved how the ending came together and how they did the ending.
The ending was beautiful.
I just can't see enough and how much I love this film until one thing happened.
Which I didn't say it was a mistake.
To be spoiler free.
No, I mean, and that's your opinion.
I respect that.
I mean, what the character did was a mistake.
Right.
Really.
The character makes a huge mistake.
Yeah.
Millie makes a huge mistake.
But you saw it differently than I think.
And I just said.
When that.
They did not have to put this mistake into the film.
They're not totally just.
I see where you're going.
I'm going to say it.
It may be lose all compassion and sympathy for Millie for what she was going through when
this mistake happened.
See, for me, it was one of those losing it all to gain it back situations.
Now, we talked about Chad wasn't there.
Yeah.
But he, he lived through a family member dealing with cancer.
Yeah.
So I, so that's why I think that he might have at least a mild interest in this film.
And he had to get some opportunities to take care of.
In college, my grandmother had to move in because she had cancer.
And she lived until she passed with us.
So I've seen the living.
Oh, yeah.
No.
Yes.
And I mean, the living.
Obstacle.
She have to deal with with cancer even being a family member.
So I mean, I know the horrors of it.
And to be.
I mean, because these these women were for all intents and purposes.
Sisters.
Yeah.
But we're not going to see how they went through the struggle together.
The joy in pain of everything.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
But just that one thing was so unnecessarily needed.
It just like you know, why did it happen?
No.
I see where you're going.
I just agree.
Now that.
Yeah.
They did not put that one issue in.
I would have been through the roof on this film.
And see, I disagree with you there just because.
And I agree.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And that's why we do this.
Yeah.
I saw it as just.
It was reinforcing who she was and who she had.
It was and who she had to get away with to become who she would be.
And.
And it also fostered the story of Drew Barrymore's character as well.
Because there's there's a breaking point that everybody has.
Totally.
And to see that happen.
I thought was really good.
Uh.
The the screenwriter here more went a banks.
She's been no more for just independent just acting stuff that she has.
She's been for screenwriting.
I think she crushed it here.
It there was there were some points where I was like.
I know how long this movie is.
And if we're here right now.
What are we going to do for the next X number of minutes.
But she was able to pace it so that you didn't.
You didn't ever think anything was filler.
Okay.
The big question.
The watch.
The first time I looked at my watch.
We were 45 minutes in.
Oh.
And this film is an hour 52.
Okay.
So there's not a lot of filler here.
No.
And then you also have to talk about the people that the men that played the men in their lives.
You have a penny.
A patty.
Uh.
Considine.
I know I screwed up.
Chad.
He was in the world end.
Right.
Also dominant Cooper who we know as the winner soldier from the Captain America film.
Who will be featured in the upcoming Captain America Civil War.
They, they caught not only did they compliment the actresses playing their significant
others very well.
Cooper.
I'm telling you this dude went to into the ocean.
Yeah.
If you go to my ring review at the clubhouse podcast.
That is our website.
I totally put under that.
My shadow role goes to him on Cooper.
And Cooper.
Cooper's character.
He's.
He's a former.
Of.
Band.
Band.
Yeah.
That.
You really believe that he is nothing but enamored with Millie.
Yeah.
And how he played his character.
Absolutely.
And the character was also written very well.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He didn't play this stereotypical.
Oh, you're going through this and I'm just a man and I don't know what's going on.
It's sometimes I felt more sorry for Cooper.
Yeah.
Absolutely agree with you on that.
Yeah.
He hit it.
He hit it.
I mean.
And all that they did incredible show.
You really felt that these guys were best friends.
And what I really liked about Drew Barrymore's performance here.
And Chad, I'm sure you'll back me up on this.
She tends to gravitate towards her portrayal towards the cheesy.
She does.
Towards the.
Look at me.
I'm a sunshine type of girl.
She really plays this very very grounded.
Where you see those little bits shine through here and there.
But she really understands.
She really understands in this role.
The given take and both of them.
You'd use the given take very well.
And Tony Colette for the most part.
If you look through her her IMDB page.
Yeah.
The chick flick is not something she does very much.
Oh, no.
And she kills it here.
Yeah.
She absolutely kills it here.
Uh.
Tyson, writer, who plays ace and we don't want to go too deep into who he is.
Very pivotal to the story.
Yes.
And and plays it very well.
I thought, yeah, wasn't a major role.
But still he had a big impact for being a minor role.
And you know, who else is in this chat?
No.
The great Jacqueline beset.
Really plays Tony Colette's mother.
Oh, just I was just thinking about her.
And Jacqueline beset her role where she was she's an actress.
And so, you know, actress trying to raise a child.
So we know where that dynamic goes.
She's still getting it done.
Like her performance will hit you clean in the gut.
Because she's trying to make up for that lost time.
But she's also having to deal with the resentment of her daughter from that.
And it's just this, this movie for me works on so many levels.
But I'll tell you who had a very small role.
Who really, really made me giggle.
And he was in it for maybe 90 seconds.
Was Mimforda, who was Ahmed the taxi cab driver.
Oh, yeah.
He was.
Oh, he's so great.
And he was just like, he was like, one of those there outside the card dancing.
He's like, I don't want to dance.
I don't want to dance.
Okay, I want to come down.
It's a good soundtrack, too.
Oh, great.
Great music in this.
Yeah.
I was kind of dancing a couple times to the, you know.
And the other thing I want to give it is the look of the film.
It's so buttoned and ink went very well.
It's just, you weren't Monday.
No, it's just, you knew you're Monday, but they showed it so well.
It was more natural.
Yeah.
And I really dug that.
Um, I just,
Maybe it's because I'm getting older and shadow, I mean,
I'm going to pose this question to you.
You and I have known each other for the better part of two decades.
Right.
When we first started hanging out when we were younger,
we could not have poo pooed on Chick-flex.
We're, oh, no, you did not.
But is it because we're getting older?
That we're understanding the Chick-flex more or are they being just made better?
I don't think it's so much a question of us getting older.
It's a question of our taste and film has matured greatly over the past 15 to 20 years.
And maybe they have up there game a little bit where they know that,
that if they make this thing appealing to both genders,
they're going to make twice as much money as they would normally make.
That's a fair point.
But it didn't feel like there was a reach there for me either, though.
No.
I think that writers are making a concerted effort to make films that would be previously labeled as Chick-flex
more openly accessible to all genders.
They don't think they want to make these things gender exclusive.
They don't want to guide to have to take his girl on a date on date night and have to suffer all the way through.
Let's be clear on something.
And I said this in my written review at www.theclubhousepodcast.com, which is our website.
You're not going to find a bunch of guys getting together and getting a pizza and beer and watching this on a Saturday night.
Let's be clear.
But as a guy, if your lady says, this is the movie I'm going to want to watch tonight, you're not going to feel like,
oh, crap.
The next two hours of my life.
And I say, like, you can get through this and not have to turn your man card in.
And this, how really goes in the breast cancer, which I really enjoy, especially those those gritty scenes, but so necessary.
Absolutely.
You know, a step or women's night with Susan G. Coleman or something, this would really, you know, something
to that effect.
Even if it's a guy's night, if it's guys who whose wives deal with this disease, man, they would really
dig into this.
All right.
Let's go ahead and get the final analysis thing.
I think we've got it covered.
The way we do the final analysis on this show.
I'm going to ask Don a question.
Maybe too.
The first question I'm going to ask him is, would he see this again?
If he says no, then we're done here.
But if he says, yes, I'm going to ask him how far is he going to go to see it again?
Would he pay for price?
Would he pay a twilight?
Matt Nay?
Early morning on a weekend?
Would he wait till second run?
See, the dollar theater?
Would he venture out of this house?
Would he get it from red red box?
Streaming on Netflix?
See on cable.
Is that a film again?
Yes.
How far do you want to go?
Because of that mistake.
We're going so fast.
Right.
Right.
I was going to give this either twilight or full price.
Okay.
Because of that mistake, I'm putting it only on cable.
Okay.
Fair enough.
I would see this film again.
I think a Matt Nay on a weekend would be a good time to see this.
Because it'll give, it gives you a chance to really kind of discuss it after
the film over dinner.
Matt Nay or twilight?
I would still say Matt Nay.
Okay.
Because then you could go to dinner afterwards.
And you could hit an early dinner, not a late dinner.
But again, the film was called Mishu Already, directed by Catherine Hardwick, written by
More Wena Banks.
And again, we got to think Carol Smith from Gailor Smith for a while.
Thank you so much.
And everybody at Lionsgate provide us.
Thank you so much, Carol.
Check anything you want to have where we wrap it up.
I'm intrigued.
