主播：Selah (美国) + 梅莉 (法国) 音乐：Friends欢迎大家来到《老外来了》特辑“老外请回答！”第2期！Q1. “你觉得中式英语该被消灭还是被保护？”"Do you think Chinglish should be protected or gotten rid of?"Final answer 1: Instead of trying to 消灭 (get rid of) it, we just need to use it in the right context (在恰当的语境中使用)—like seasoning (调味品). A little bit in the right dish makes it even better.Final answer 2: 在正式场合我们要注意语言的准确性，但在日常交流中，Chinglish真的蛮可爱的！For people who've grown up in a 双语家庭 (bilingual household) —this kind of language mix (语言混用) can feel really natural.And sometimes Chinglish is super creative, like “add oil” — a direct translation of “加油”. It's like a linguistic inside joke (语言上的“圈内梗”). But in formal situations (正式场合)—like school essays or business emails—it's better to use standard English (标准英语).Q2. “你们国家有饭前先拍照的习惯吗？”“Does your country have a ‘take a picture before you eat' kind of habit?”Final answer 1: In the US, they call this “my phone eats first.” It's like... you don't dare touch your food until you've gotten the perfect angle (角度), lighting, everything. Especially if it's something super pretty—like latte art (咖啡拉花) or a fancy dessert (美味的甜点) or if it's your first time at a famous restaurant. 美美的食物，当然要先拍照啦~ Final answer 2: It's become part of modern food culture, not just in the US but globally now.不过有些人也会觉得这样有点烦。Some people even make rules—like, okay, ONE picture, then phones down. That's a good compromise (折中办法).But if it's something homemade (自制的) and you're really proud of it, post away, Maelle said. 梅莉觉得自己辛苦做的饭尤其值得在朋友圈或者小红书上晒一晒！Q3. “如果必须选一个，一年不喝奶茶，还是一年不吃炸鸡？”“Would you go a year without milk tea or a year without fried chicken?”Final answer 1: This one is easy for Maelle, “I would choose to give up fried chicken. I just love 奶茶 too much. It's like my emotional support drink.”Final answer 2: For Selah, she thinks she eats 炸鸡 more often and in more circumstances (在更多时候), so this would be harder to give up!Fried chicken is so versatile (百搭的)—it can be part of a meal, a snack, comfort food (疗愈系美食)… And there are so many styles too—美式南方炸鸡、韩式炸鸡、台式盐酥鸡......04. Meme Sentence Challenge 梗图造句挑战今天的趣味挑战是——用“泰酷辣”来夸一夸英国菜！To say something over-the-top about British food (用夸张的方式“赞美”英国菜). “This boiled potato with no salt? 泰酷辣! It's like… flavor went on vacation!” （这土豆也太原味了，味道去度假了吗？）“Baked beans on toast? 泰酷辣! Michelin stars could never.”（米其林都做不出来的“神级”早餐～）”“This cucumber sandwich with exactly one slice of cucumber? 泰～酷～辣！It's giving… invisible luxury (隐形的奢华).”（只放一片黄瓜，低调到极致）“A proper cup of British tea with milk? 泰酷辣! Smooth. Classic. Basically emotional support in a mug (柔顺、经典，一杯能抚慰灵魂的奶茶).”And jokes aside, British food does have its charm. 我们只是用“泰酷辣”的语气来玩个梗，其实还是很尊重英国文化的。British friends, we're just having fun—no hard feelings (别介意哈)! 我们今天从Chinglish聊到拍照文化，再聊到炸鸡奶茶，还有British food 的“泰酷辣”时刻。 If you had fun, don't forget to follow, leave a comment, and share the episode with your friends! 欢迎大家留言告诉我们你最喜欢的问题，或者你自己的回答。我们可能会在下一期节目读出你的答案哦！And if you have a spicy question (有趣的问题) you want us to answer…请在留言区告诉我们，我们下期再见！

【#幹話神秘學】Ep.263｜Johnny English與Johnny Chinglish：Mathew Trickett離奇死亡四個可能｜HAARP似你的陰謀｜半夜微醺 Drunkirk 影片連結：https://youtube.com/live/xTw7mvwVlxc #HAARP #MathewTrickett #陰謀 近日地球不少地方被極光籠罩，英美澳紐都可輕易觀賞到極光，不再是地球兩極頂端獨家的珍貴風光，閒人都可隨意張望。而且專家更表示，由於太陽風暴牛巿放題，極光無限未來盛況，誰都可以窺探。 天生渴望。 氣象專家表示極光密集閃耀，是因為太陽進入了為期十一年的太陽周期最活躍時期，太陽封了嘴也不會靜，綁了手也不會停，太陽風暴會一直影響地球，除了有絢爛的極光，還會隨之附送地磁暴、X射線脈衝和極紫外線輻射，可能會影響甚至損毁導航系統、電網和衛星等服務，連Space X的Starlink的服務質素都可能因而下降，隨時連Deadpool同Wolverine都好打啲。不過陰謀論者卻沒有認同專家的解釋，將氣候變化甚至天災都歸咎於美國的HAARP。 HAARP(High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program，高頻主動式極光研究項目）是一個美國學術研究計劃，但這個遠在阿拉斯加的計劃不似只是一般研究電離層和修補臭氧層那麼簡單，人所共知HAARP是有政府和軍方身影的計劃，陰謀論者認為HAARP是能夠製造極端天氣情況，成為氣象武器，有可能近年的地震、海嘯等災難，都並非天災咁單純。HAARP可以製造狂風猛風怒似狂龍，又能捲起巨浪亂撞亂動，雷電用疾勁暴力，劃破這世界震裂天空。若果天文台明明只是掛黃雨，但你嗰邊大雨到災難咁，咁你首先望下街上有無見馬浚偉喺度游水，然後可以指責係美帝的HARRP陰謀。尤其喺委內瑞拉前總統查維斯都公開指責過HAARP造成海地地震，這個HAARP陰謀更被加持。而且，亦有陰謀論者指出，HAARP發出的低頻可使人類情緒波動，即可操縱人類集體作出某一類行為。如陰謀屬實，HAARP便成了繼熱兵器和電腦攻擊後的重大軍事武器，不戰而HAARP人之兵，成個X Men暴風女咁，或Lorelei咁。 傾密計去Discord～：https://discord.gg/N24SpkP8m4 _ 加入天文學會，你唔會後悔。⬇️ Youtube會員：https://bit.ly/3u85q1L Podcast會員：https://apple.co/3AVfRqD 一週工作尾聲，讓我們微醺一點。 眾人皆醉我更醉，微醺中更清楚面對自己、看見世界。 逢星期三、五晚上，使我們在死前多一點品味。 節目類型：一個坦誠尖酸的社會觀察、文化研究過程 主持：陳四、VVN 支援小平台，敬希打賞，少少無拘：https://shorturl.at/cfyHZ 半夜微醺Drunkirk Youtube： https://bit.ly/3zzZ6PE ➤歡迎分享影片連結 ➤➤本頻道合作提案請洽：team@drunkirk.com 會有專人回覆你！ _ Youtube視像版及各大Podcast ： Apple Podcast • Google Podcast • KKBOX • Firstory • Spotify Linktree：https://linktr.ee/drunkirk #podcast #半夜微醺Drunkirk #Drunkirk #半夜微醺 #廣東話Podcast Powered by Firstory Hosting

笔记：citywalk 城市漫游 city 城市，加上walk行走，可以理解为“城市漫游”，这个词起源于“London Walks”伦敦的一种户外旅行风潮。其实在英文当中并没有这种说法。 Citywalk means "roaming around the city" on foot. It can be a special guided trip for a small group of people, or simply a leisurely stroll for one or two to explore new areas. Citywalk的意思是“在城市里漫步”。它可以是一小群人的特殊导游之旅，也可以是一两个人的悠闲漫步，探索新的地方。获取节目完整音频、笔记和片尾的歌曲名，请关注微信公众号「早安英文」，回复“笔记”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues Bookwaves Robert Anton Wilson (1932-2007), interviewed by Richard Wolinsky in February 1983, recorded in a car in the Santa Cruz mountains during a rainstorm. Digitized, remastered and edited in May, 2023. Robert Anton Wilson had a remarkable career. Starting as a writer of comic science fiction based on historical stories of conspiracy, his work soon turned in the direction of physics, psychology, and futurism, and described himself as an agnostic mystic. In the religion or philosophy known as discordianism, he is considered both pope and saint. A journalist in his early career, he co-edited the Playboy Magazine forum, and covered the work of both Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert, later known as Ram Dass. Most of his best known works were written in the 1970s and 1980s, though he continued to write non-fiction into the 21st century. These include The Illuminati Trilogy, co-written with Robert Shea, The Schrodinger's Cat and Cosmic Trigger trilogies, and Prometheus Rising. His early works were published by large commercial presses; his later by small presses. Most, of not all, of his books still remain in print. The three books mentioned toward the end of the interview were all published and are all available. Complete 32-minute interview. Bookwaves Fay Weldon (1931-2023) who died on January 4th, 2023 at the age of 91, published 31 novels during her lifetime, including The Life and Loves of a She-Devil, one of four novels which later became films. She was also a playwright, short story writer, television writer and non-fiction author. Richard A. Lupoff and Richard Wolinsky interviewed her twice in the KPFA studios. This second interview was recorded on January 21, 1992 while she was on tour for two novels, Darcy's Utopia and Life Force Fay Weldon's career continued for the next thirty years after the interview with several novels, including a sequel to She-Devil, more plays, more short stories and several works of non-fiction. This interview was digitized, remastered, and edited in June, 2023 by Richard Wolinsky. First time on the air in over thirty years. Complete 34-minute Interview. First Fay Weldon interview, recorded March 1990 while she was on tour for The Cloning of Joanna May.

Happy Mother's Day! To the mothers out there, to those who have chosen not to have children, for those who can't, for those who have lost a mother, for those who may not be close with their mother, for those whose mother is their best friend. Being in this business is hard enough without having to worry about dependents, and families, and schedules, and pregnancy. For all the moms out there that are also actors, they have to juggle a million and one things all at once. Today I wanted to speak with some women who have made the choice to have children, and what that has looked like for them in their day-to-day life and in their career. We are joined by Christine Lin, a stage and screen actress born in Indiana with a biomedical and electrical engineering degree from Duke. She originated the role of Miss Zhao in "Chinglish" on Broadway. She is known for Surfside Girls, The Blacklist, and Abominable. Then we have the wonderful Linara Washington, who graduated from the University of Chicago, and who moved to Los Angeles after booking the role of Keisha in Barbershop 2. Since moving here, she has been on several of your favorite shows; Grey's Anatomy, NCIS, Madame Secretary, and more. She is the co-owner of Picture Palace Films and has produced two feature films. Last but not least, we have Wendy Wynne who you can see on Who is Killing the Cheerleaders and Jesus Revolution. Wendy is a wife, mother, actor, advocate, hope dealer, cheeleader/sister/friend on a mission to remind you of your greatness!

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues Bookwaves Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) Excerpts from various sources, including KPFA, of Philip K. Dick discussing his career, his books, and his life, originally created as a memorial program by Richard Wollnsky, Richard A. Lupoff and Lawrence Davidson in the spring of 1982. Hosted by Richard Wolinsky. When science fiction writer Philip K. Dick died of a stroke on March 2, 1982 at the age of 53, most of the literary world shrugged and the entertainment world barely took notice. The film Blade Runner, based on his novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, was still a few months from its release. Today, IMDb lists nearly fifty adaptations for film, TV and other media, which includes twelve feature films and a handful of television series, from Total Recall to A Scanner Darkly to Minority Report to The Man in the High Castle and Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams. The science fiction world, though, knew it had lost one of the all time greats. Between the time the KPFA show Probabilities started in the February of 1977 until Phil Dick's death five years later, Dick Lupoff, Lawrence Davidson, and Richard Wolinsky never did get a chance to fully interview him for the program, though over the years they'd collected several excerpts to use in a two-part memorial program which was aired some time in the spring of 1982. The show consisted of commentary and explanations from all three of us interspersed with these excerpts. As is pointed out a couple of times in the program, the sound quality of the excerpts is very uneven, and even with digital tweaking, some of it may be unintelligible. This is the two-part show that originally aired, minus a few musical segments along with an outro from part one, and intro and outro from part two. The program was never rebroadcast, and the cassette sat in a closet for the next forty years, until it was digitized, remastered and edited in 2023. Bookwaves Alan Furst, historical spy novelist, discussing his career, in a short excerpt from an interview recorded in 2014 while he was on tour for Midnight in Europe. Hosted by Richard Wolinsky.

More about Patreon coming a little bit later. On with the episode, my darlings. [theme] JAZZA: Welcome to the Queer Movie Podcast celebrating the best— ROWAN: —And worst— JAZZA: In LGBTQ plus cinema, one glorious genre at a time. ROWAN: I'm Rowan Ellis. JAZZA: And I'm Jazza John. ROWAN: Each episode we discuss a movie from a different genre of cinema. JAZZA: This episode's genre is— JAZZA AND ROWAN: Queer Oscars 2023. ROWAN: So in sync, so coordinated. JAZZA: Yeah, a 100%. The—the yearly tradition of us doing the Queer Oscar stuff. So today, we're going to be talking about the best bloody movie ever made by the Daniels, Kwan, and Scheinert. And starring the best actor in the history of humanity, Michelle Yeoh, and nominated for 11 Oscars, I think. Everything Everywhere All at Once. ROWAN: Not to spoil what Jazza thought of the movie or anything. But before we start— JAZZA: It's my favorite movie, it's my favorite movie. I'm so fucking excite— after like the last three movies that we've done, I'm so excited to speak about something that I actually genuinely adore. I love this film. Spoiler. ROWAN: But before we stuff Employee of the Month awards up our asses, so we can fight Michelle herself. Jazza, what's the gayest thing you've done since the last episode? JAZZA: So um, hi everybody, I live in New York. And I— ROWAN: Oh, here we go again. JAZZA: Ran out of my NHS-prescribed prep at the end of last year. And so I have been having to live like it's the 90s, oh, my God. And I just—for the first time, like a true American, which I'm not. But like a true American resident picked up my first prescription of prep from CVS. ROWAN: You— did you have to pay American money for it? Or do—do you have an insurance? JAZZA: No, I get it on my health insurance. ROWAN: Oooh, look at you! JAZZA: I got a full fe—although, can I just show you the documentation that I have to read— ROWAN: Yeah. JAZZA: —when I take this. ROWAN: I'll do an audio [2:33] Okay, here's the audio description. What's basically happened is Jazza has just come onto the webcam that I can see. And they've essentially like, you know, one of those comedy scrolls that just keeps rolling all the way down the throne room in some kind of fantasy comedy movie, that's exactly what's just—just been displayed in front of me. That is like, a world map to scale, that is so big. Have you read any of it? JAZZA: Yeah, well, I had to try and because, like, I know that, like what you're meant to do to take for it. But I wanted to like double check, because this is American prep, and maybe it's different. So I found the instructions of dosage and how to take it, and it says, take dosage exactly as your prescriber told you. ROWAN: Okay. JAZZA: Fucking useless. ROWAN: What—oh, did your prescriber not tell you? JAZZA: No. But I have texted him and said, is it like normal prep and we'll find out when he texts me back, so that'd be good. ROWAN: Wow. JAZZA: What's the gayest thing you did? ROWAN: Before we go into the gayest thing, I really feel like this podcast is educational. It's very vitally important, very serious, not at all. But in cases, anyone listening who doesn't know this, if you take two or more prescriptions monthly, and you're on the NHS, like through the NHS, get yourself a prepaid certificate, because it will be cheaper. And then every single prescription you get past, I think it's literally like you have to have one and a half prescriptions a month, it will be cheaper, and every single one, it won't cost you any more money. And then when you go in and they say do you pay for prescriptions, you get to be like, I already did baby, I pre-paid. Because I didn't know that until very recently. And I've been taking two prescriptions a month for many years and didn't realize I was paying too much for them. That wasn't the gayest thing I've done though. Um. JAZZA: [laughs] ROWAN: What? JAZZA: Isn't it, making—making healthcare more easy to—easier to navigate and more accessible? [4:24] ROWAN: [4:25] that's pretty gay. No, that I actually did my first in-person talk, and since the pandemic— JAZZA: Oh yeah, this is cool. ROWAN: I used to do a lot of them. And I've done some in person like hosting stuff and things like that, but mostly it's been online. But I went to essentially like a organization where a bunch of like solicitors and lawyers, and legal organizations kind of have joined forces so that, that LGBT group is—has some has—has actual members and it isn't just like one person at one law firm. And I did a little talk and I am very, very proud of it, it went very, very well. And I actually think that talk is very good. It's basically about the—the parallels of the moral panic from the 80s around gay people to the trans panic now. Yeah, a lot of people came to ask me about it afterward, I think including some people who hadn't necessarily been to abreast of the situation with like the trans panic. And who had some very thoughtful questions, and I think definitely was making them think, which is, you know, what we love to do. So, If anyone wants me to come and talk, basically be very depressing for an hour, I now apparently do that professionally. But that was my gay [5:34] JAZZA: Don't sell yourself [5:35]. If anybody wants like a really informed and provocative discussion or talk to bring to your workplace, then please get in touch with Rowan Ellis because she's one of the [5:45] ROWAN: [5:48] JAZZA: Yeah. ROWAN: Oh, don't think I won't do it, I'll do it. I'm sorry, that was a threat for some reason to you. Yeah. No, that's—that was, that's pretty gay, so that's me. JAZZA: Well done. Proud of you. ROWAN: Thank you. [theme] JAZZA: So anybody who is new here, here's how we're going to do it. So first, we're going to give a little bit of context around how gay the Oscars are this year in 2023. And I am just going to carve out a little bit of time to do some gushing around how I think Michelle Yeoh is the best person on the face of the planet, how she's my bitch, and that I die for her. I watched Star Trek Discovery for Michelle Yeoh. ROWAN: That's dedication. We will be spoiling this movie, so we would encourage you to watch it before listening to the rest of the episode because it really is very excellent. And some of these movies that we review, were like, no, don't bother, just listen to us describe what happens during the plot. But for this one, do go away and watch it and then come back. JAZZA: Yeah. To be clear, I think this is the best film ever made. So without further ado, let's put everything on a bagel, despair, report cards, salt, and this review of the movie, Everything Everywhere All at Once. [theme] ROWAN: So this year we had a few options actually when we were looking at what maybe we wanted to do for— JAZZA: No we didn't, we were always going to do this— ROWAN: Okay, well— JAZZA: [7:12] ROWAN: —hypotechnically. JAZZA: Yeah, yeah. ROWAN: There would [7:13] JAZZA: If were gonna pretend. ROWAN: So obviously Everything Everywhere All at Once, Tar, which was the film with Cate Blanchett that we didn't enjoy, that we have already reviewed. So if you did enjoy that or not, check out the podcast on that, already out. There's also The Whale, which has earned three nominations, I think, including for Brendan Frazier's performance of a gay man, spiraling out over grief after the death of his partner. And then technically Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, [7:44] JAZZA: Oh sure. Yeah. ROWAN: For Best Adapted Screenplay because allegedly Ben was gay. And we also have already done that. So realis—oh, I think like, again, technically like Lady Gaga got a nomination for the theme song to Top Gun Maverick, and you know. JAZZA: Love the Top Gun Maverick, already one of the gayest fucking movies on the planet without actually being gay. Actually did get an Oscar nomination, we could have covered it. I love that because of Lady fucking Gaga of all people. ROWAN: Yeah. Their only— JAZZA: It would have been quite poetic actually. Should we go back and just do Top Gun? ROWAN: I mean, yeah, maybe it's like hey, here's a little sneak little—little cheeky episode where it's just like gay, the gay subtext genre. That is technically a genre, I guess? JAZZA: Hey, watch this space. ROWAN: And then there's also some ones that are maybe lesser known. So one of the best international feature, Close, which is from Belgium, follows two teenage boys who have this very close friendship and then it get there like a lot of drama happens after some of their schoolmates sort of notice how close they are. And there's like a rift forms between them, which I haven't seen. And it also haven't seen after [8:48] which seems to be ambiguously gay. Where some people are like, it's very obvious that the main character is gay. And some people are like, it's—it's not, no one picked up on it, blah, blah, blah. So it's like, that was also a possibility of [9:00] this movie that everyone is obsessed with. And that I do need to see, but I need to be emotionally ready for it because apparently, it's going to tear my heart out. JAZZA: Great. ROWAN: Absolutely decimated. And so yeah, I think that the only one that we haven't covered that we might do on the podcast seems to be The Whale. But I literally—I mentioned it not to say that we shouldn't do Everything Everywhere All at Once. I just mentioned it as like, oh, we could also do the work. Like I hadn't even finished typing to send the message. Before Jazza was like absolutely the fuck not, we're doing this movie. We're not doing any other movie ever again. Only this movie. JAZZA: I think I might have threatened to quit. ROWAN: Yeah. [9:35] Okay. Good luck [9:37] Rowan. So yeah, essentially, we didn't really have a choice and by we, I mean me. But I'm fine with that. I—I um have a confession though. JAZZA: Go on. ROWAN: I started watching this movie a little while ago. And I just didn't finish. I just got like— I mean I've finished it now. To be clear, I'm coming into this podcast— JAZZA: Oh my gosh! ROWAN: —not having watched the movie. JAZZA: Well, you did it with Rose, so. ROWAN: I basically got to the fanny pack fight scene, but I just like wasn't in the frame of mind to— I don't know like the ADHD was really ADHD. And I was like, I can't concentrate on anything, let alone this long movie. JAZZA: You didn't even get that far. ROWAN: I know. JAZZA: The fanny pack [10:18] ROWAN: It's really near the beginning, but my brain was just like, I can't concentrate on anything longer than about two minutes long. And I wanted to do it justice. Like I knew that so many people love this film, and I wanted to give it a good go. So I was like, I'm not just going to try and push through it. I want to actually enjoy it. So I am very happy that you forced me to watch it, because it's a very good movie. JAZZA: Wait, had you not finished it until we were going to do this episode? ROWAN: Yeah. I literally watched it for the episode. JAZZA: Oh, my God. I'm—you're welcome. ROWAN: Your—again. Again, Jazza the way you say welcome absolutely destroys me, but— JAZZA: Welcome. ROWAN: Absolutely not. So basically, but I'll show you because I don't know why I thought I would be able to watch this movie. I was like, maybe I need something different to my brain. So I was like, maybe I'll just paint while I'm doing it, just like a little cute painting. But then I forgot that I had to make notes for this podcast. So I was like, trying to write notes, and then also paint. So I got like, not far through the painting whatsoever. I just got the under-the-base thing done, which is like, this is— JAZZA: Oh that's cute. ROWAN: —the scene where she like cracks in three, and it's like any office building. JAZZA: Oh yeah. ROWAN: But like none of the actual features are in, so it just looks really like blobs. But I will try and finish it by the time this goes out, so we can put it on our social media because you know, we should probably upload there, you know. JAZZA: Hey [11:39] ROWAN: Put things on our socials. JAZZA: Really great for engagement. ROWAN: Yeah, everyone loves a good [11:44] So yeah, that is essentially my context, is that the queer movies we've done, like I've done like a—together, we did a whole video about the quick history of the Oscars on my channel before, we've talked about the kind of Oscars in general in other episodes of the podcast, so I wanted to keep it just to like what's going on specifically this year, which seems to be—I would say that from the movies that I've seen, that are nominated, this one it feels like— like Tar, for example, and Knives Out and things, the sexuality is not necessarily a key part of the plot. It could be that the character like isn't queer, and it would have been reasonably similar. Whereas I think that the queer element of this film is like important to the plot. Like the— the fact— JAZZA: Yeah 100%. ROWAN: — that she's queer is important to what's going on here. Which I think is very—it's going to be interesting to have a little chat about. Would you like to do your context, which is basically just you talking about your [12:40] JAZZA: Michelle Yeoh? Yeah, my girl Michelle, I'm—every gay kind of has a that one female artist, that they will die for generally. Mine in the music sphere, Shakira, and in the action sphere, Michelle Yeoh. Michelle Yeoh could probably be credited with me deciding to learn Chinese and move to China. I'm not even joking. I first— I remember watching her—the first time I ever watched her was in the James Bond movie that she was in, which was I Think Tomorrow Never Dies? And since then, have just like, completely been obsessed with her, obsessed with her career. She went from—well before then, she started off as like a beauty queen in Malaysia, then did an advert with Jackie Chan in the 1980s because, of course, every East Asian woman in the 1980s did an advert with the Jackie Chan, they were advertising watches. Then she from that ended up being an action star and a huge star in Hong Kong in her own— right Hong Kong being the center of the movie industry in Asia. So she was in movies like when [13:51] Yes, madam, and was already this huge, huge star. She was catapulted into international stardom through James Bond and then ended up doing the Ang Lee film, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was in stuff like Memoirs of a Geisha, went on to do have supporting roles in movies like Crazy Rich Asians. And just— has just kind of like grown into playing a lot of these matriarch roles. She has a dance background and so has traditionally done all of her own stunts and all of her fight scenes, which is the same for a lot of the stuff that is in this movie. And I just think she's really fucking badass. She's learned whole languages in order to play roles. Before the 2000s she couldn't speak any Mandarin, she learned it for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and now does this whole movie, this whole movie Everything Everywhere All at Once in Mandarin, just full interviews in Mandarin. She learnt Burmese when she played Aung San Suu Kyi in The Lady hasn't aged very well that movie, but that's crazy. And she didn't speak any Cantonese before she broke into Hong Kong cinema. Like this woman is a absolutely fucking phenomenal. And she was educated at least part of her life in London, so we can claim her, she's one of us. And that's all. I love her. ROWAN: That's very adorable. JAZZA: Thank you. ROWAN: Someone, someone, someone send this to Michelle. JAZZA: Oh, I—you know that embarrassing interaction I had with Baldwin Yang, I feel like Michelle Yeoh is one of the only other people who I would like physically combust in front of. I would not be able to handle it. ROWAN: I love that. Yeah, we'll keep you at a distance. I'll be— if I ever see her in the street and you're with me, I'm taking, I'm like gonna rugby tackle you to the floor. I'll be like, no, Jazza shield your eyes. Like— JAZZA: Yeah. ROWAN: —I feel like it would just have you'd be having some kind of like angelic experience, it would burn the very soul out of you, so don't worry, I've got your back. JAZZA: Thank you. And just to close on one final thing before we dive into the plot of this movie. She's the first East Asian woman to be nominated for an Oscar Best Actress. And Stephanie Hsu is the first East Asian woman to be nominated as a Best Supporting Actress. This movie is groundbreaking. And yeah, just again, before we go in and spoil the plot if you haven't watched it, you have to, it'll change your life. And you'll cry a lot. If you're anything like me, you'll probably cry a lot. ROWAN: I think she feels like a shoo-in for Best Actress. JAZZA: Who's she against? ROWAN: Cate Blanchett. JAZZA: [16:26] ROWAN: For Tar. JAZZA: I rec— so I will be. I can see Cate Blanchett winning, and I will be furious. ROWAN: Yeah. I think that— I think that's the most likely thing if Michelle doesn't, because the other ones it's other Michelle, for the fave woman's Michelle Williams, which you know, whatever. It's a film, it's fine, but like I feel like there's been better. Movies about movies and stuff. I think it's only because it's Spielberg talking about himself that anyone cares. JAZZA: Yeah. ROWAN: It's Andrea Riseborough for To Leslie, which is like the one everyone jokes about how no one actually knows. That everyone was like what the hell even is that film? When did it even come out? What is it, who cares? Ana De Armas for Blonde, where the hell did that nomination come from? Absolutely unhinged behavior from the Academy, and then Michelle. So I feel like she—she— if there's any justice in the world, will win it. JAZZA: And also she's—she's like a has a long decorated career, everywhere else apart from the Oscars. And the Oscars generally likes taking these opportunities to award— rewards people who have been such items in the industry, but maybe have never had the— the role has kind of put them in the contention for an award like this. ROWAN: Yeah. JAZZA: I think she will win. I think the best picture win is less of a shoo-in. ROWAN: Screenplay, I think is going to be the contest there is going to be with Banshees. And I think supporting actress—supporting actress Stephanie might be in. I feel like the only one that might—you know actually no because even though it is Angela Bassett, it's for Black Panther, which won't—It won't get it because it's a superhero movie. And the other two for The Whale and Banshees, like the— it's—they weren't big enough roles, I don't think. So it's Stephanie against Jamie Lee Curtis for the same movie, and Stephanie was simply better. So I'm really hoping that we have some— not just like first nominations, but first wins to go with it in the same year. JAZZA: I'd love it if Mitski beat Lady Gaga as well. [18:30] ROWAN: I love that for you. Right. Should we get into the plot of this movie then? JAZZA: Yeah, let's do it. [theme] ROWAN: Okay, so the movie begins with our hero Evelyn doing her taxes, which apparently was the summary of the movie pre-trailers, and even when the trailers were going out because I didn't want to spoil the movie at all. What it was we're going to be before the trailer dropped. So it was just a woman does her taxes was the description on IMDb for a long time, which I think is hysterical. And we essentially get this extremely chaotic scene where we're introduced to a bunch of issues that are going on in her life and complications, including the fact that she's not doing her taxes very well essentially, is one thing that she is, and it kind of hurt her husband on this laundromat which might not be doing too well, business-wise. She has annoying customers, her father is there and— JAZZA: He's just arrived from China. ROWAN: —just arrive from China. And her daughter is gay, has a girlfriend called Becky. The grandfather doesn't know about. And so the daughter has come to basically demand that hey, I just want to tell grand like I don't want to lie to him. I want to tell him what's going on and the fact that Becky is my actual girlfriend, not just like a friend. And she has a very sweet husband that she kind of does—they have this very practice dance where she will like bang the ceiling and he'll know that he needs to come down and but he—there's also slight difficulties in communication. So the husband has like moved a bunch of the clothes for the customers upstairs, so they're not where they should be. And so it's—it's both very like synchronized dance almost situation going on, but with utter chaos because there are things that aren't quite fitting together, which, you know, it's kind of the vibe metaphorically and literally throughout this movie with this— with her life and with the family. JAZZA: This is the first scene so I don't want to spend too much time on it. But I adore it so much for a couple of reasons. One is the swirling chaos that you talk about, and that I love you [20:37] describing it as a dance because I've never really thought of it like that. It's also one of the first times I can remember seeing the Chinglish kind of like flow of their language going with like dipping in and out of Mandarin and English, as the two of them are speaking depending on kind of like what they're talking about. When they're talking about external things, so things like their taxes, when Stephanie's girlfriend is coming, and all of those kinds of things, they'll often dip into English. And then when they're talking about their relationship, the fact that Gong Gong is there and all of that kind of stuff, a lot of it is in Mandarin. And they just kind of like that's a part of like bilingual families that I've never really seen before, maybe in kind of like some Spanish media, but definitely not with Chinese, and I love being able to see that. And secondly, I want to ask you, what do you think about the theory that Evelyn has ADHD? ROWAN: I didn't see that theory. I've not seen that theory before. Until literally I was reading just like the Wikipedia page and stuff to make sure that I hadn't missed any of the plot points while I was like making notes. And it was like yeah, themes, including ADHD. And I was like, huh, interesting. JAZZA: I think there's a couple of reads of it. One is, this is the modern world that we're in, where we are distracted and having to pay attention to and having to care about things that we don't actually care about. Stuff like taxes and laundry is like the line that goes through the movie. But you can also read it as the this is Evelyn trying to deal with all of the spinning plates, and a mind that is dealing with ADHD. And I love that reading of her, of kind of like, this is how she is trying to kind of like function through the world. And from my experience with ADHD anyway, it feels very—when I'm having like bad days, it feels like this opening scene. And I think that it's portrayed with the editing style and with her acting incredibly, incredibly well. And I'd like this as a reading for the character too. I don't think it's ever like explicitly mentioned, I think it's—I think it is just a theory unless one of the Daniels has mentioned it, ROWAN: I can definitely see that either way to be honest. I like that. Also, something I think is interesting is I watch everything with subtitles on because otherwise I wouldn't—as someone who doesn't speak anything but English, I wouldn't have noticed the fact that it's both Cantonese and Mandarin, depending on which member the family she's speaking to. So her father speaks Cantonese, and then she speaks Mandarin to Waymond. And I think that's also really interesting these like specific differences, cultural differences, even within this family that I think from the outside people would see as like one distinct group, as like this is a specifically a Chinese-American story. And I like the fact that you've got these elements which are brought in by the people who worked on the film to ensure that it doesn't become something which is sort of the homogenized version of the Asian-American story that might be told by people outside of that group. JAZZA: Yeah. It feels so real. It felt so real and really kind of like, it like [23:42] I'm not Asian- American, but I have been around these spaces at all, and it felt incredibly real. Like even though—when Stephanie's character [23:52] ROWAN: [23:53] Steph's character. JAZZA: Yeah. When Joy—when Joy as a character is introduced and we see Gong Gong for the first time, hug her granddad for the first time. And she's trying to kind of like get out. She—she understands Chinese, but she's trying to get out like the introduction to Becky and the distain with which her granddad just goes, your Chinese is really getting worse and worse every time I see you. And I've heard—I've heard older members of kind of like, I'm older generations of families, like say that about the other younger generations and like the disdain, like all of those interactions just feel really, really real. ROWAN: Also, the fact that Joy is— Joy is trying to—it is Evelyn's daughter it's trying to tell her grandfather that Becky has a girlfriend, and she suddenly realizes that she doesn't know the exact version of friend— JAZZA: Doesn't know how to say it, yeah. ROWAN: —girlfriend like which again just feels very real. That idea of like if you're someone who's got language for certain things in your life, and like you speak about certain things to your family. I think that's quite telling that that's not necessarily a word that she has at the tip of her tongue to be able to say in Cantonese. That, to me was like very interesting. And then we also have essentially, the end of this interaction is that Evelyn interrupts in Cantonese to describe Becky as a good friend rather than a girlfriend. So deliberately interrupting her daughter, to cover up her daughter's queerness for his grandfather. That she says, you know, he's old, we don't want him to, you know, this would— this would be too difficult for him to deal with. JAZZA: They keep on talking about how it's going to kill him, [25:24] ROWAN: [25:25] JAZZA: [25:25] he's already flown from China for the Chinese New Year [25:27] ROWAN: It's really difficult. And then essentially Joy leaves really upset. JAZZA: Yeah. ROWAN: And goes to get in the car to leave. And Evelyn has clearly got this parental love within her that she just cannot express in a way that her daughter understands. JAZZA: And so just says that she's fat. ROWAN: Yeah, she's like, you need to eat healthier, you're getting fat, which you can understand. And you can tell that it's—it's—she's not trying to say it to be awful. But obviously for Joy without the context of like, we've kind of been in Evelyn's point of view, and we get from the expression on— on her face that she can't just say, I love you so much, I'm sorry. So she has to just say—she's trying to say I care about you by being like, I've noticed something about you. I want you to take care of yourself like this is the way I show I care. But for Joy, she very much just hears, you're fat, you're doing things wrong, this is bad, you're bad. And so we see immediately this like real kind of disconnects between the two of them. This gap in generations, and language and culture, etc, etc. And we just essentially have this whole very chaotic first scene that leads into her meeting with internal revenue, where things are not going to get any easier for her, put it that way. JAZZA: Yeah, where Jamie Lee Curtis is her IRS agent. So when they go up into the elevator, we see that Waymond has divorce papers with him. And it's kind of like looking at this other older couple who are very affectionate. And you can see him lamenting the fact that he doesn't have that with Evelyn. Going up in the elevator, the elevator is very slow. And then Waymond shuts down opens up again and all of a sudden is like hiding from the cameras and whatever. And he's been Raccacoonie, and he's being puppeted by Waymond from another universe, the Alpha Verse. ROWAN: Alpha Waymond. JAZZA: Alpha Waymond. ROWAN: And it does the classic, I've taken over your body from another universe thing of being like, you're in grave danger. I don't have much time, here are some instructions. I can't say any more. Very, very classic call to adventure vibes, where it's like, I love a mysterious call to adventure like that. It all depends on you kind of energy to it, which is something that's really fun about this movie for me is it's a lot of like follows that process of the call to adventure. The refusal of the call, like all of this stuff that's very Monomyth is very Joseph Campbell, it's very much how Hollywood works. But then there is just such absurdism going on alongside it, and such bizarre stuff that—kind of by its nature, because we find out later that within this multiverse that's happening, that alpha Waymond is from part of the ways in which you're able to jump through the multiverse is by doing something that's statistically bizarre and unlikely. And so the absurdism sort of is written into these small moments of the script, as well as the overall story. But I just really like how it plays with the classic call to adventure, you know, this Alpha Waymond has said, not, this is your destiny, and she refuses it at first. And it's like, no, it's not me, I'm not the person to do this, and then gradually gets pulled into it. But it has these twists to it, which I really, really loved. JAZZA: And I—I just want to ask, what—what was your favorite like anomaly that somebody had to do? Apart from having to sit on an employee of the month award and then fighting with a [28:50] ROWAN: I'll tell you my least fucking favorite, Jazza. JAZZA: Yeah, go on. ROWAN: Giving yourself four paper cuts. [28:56] JAZZA: Yeah. The paper-cut one is horrible. ROWAN: I could not watch that. I could not watch her, it's literally the worst thing I can possibly think of, so I don't think I even now could name you a single one that— that—oh, do you know what else I hated, Waymond, eating chapstick. JAZZA: Yeah, it was sooo— ROWAN: I hated it so much. JAZZA: It looked so waxy, and— ROWAN: But yes. Anyway, so basically all that to say, because I realized I've jumped ahead to like, by the way, there's a multiverse. Get with it people, you should have seen this movie so you should already know about—yes, we meet Jamie Lee Curtis as audit lady, Deirdre is the name? JAZZA: Deirdre, yes, Deirdre. ROWAN: Who is I've just written in my notes, very mean and has butt plugs in the background question mark, question mark. Because I spotted them I was like— JAZZA: Chekov's— ROWAN: Are those relevant, like Chekov's butt plug? JAZZA: Chekov's butt plug. ROWAN: But essentially Evelyn, who has heard from Alpha Waymond these instructions that she needs to do during this meeting, gets completely overwhelmed. And just I think at the point of like, I have nothing to lose, looks at the end structions and carries them out, which essentially is to swap her shoes over to the other feet to really, really think about the janitor's closet that he wants her to go into. And basically, she finds herself there somehow. What—what in the science fiction? And the screen at this point cracks, and I think it's really interesting to know a little bit of con—a little bit of a behind the scenes info. Apparently, the effects for this movie, which are stunning, were done by like five people. JAZZA: Yeah, they also had a shoot time of like, of only, I think it was less than a month? [30:36] ROWAN: That is wild, that is truly wild. Because this one I feel like is where we start to get the sort of the Sci-Fi element the effects, special effects type element with a skink. The screen cracks, and we sort of realized that she is both in the closet now, but also still in front of Jamie Lee Curtis, who I guess from now on, I'm just going to refer to [30:54] as Jamie Lee Curtis. And we get this explanation that there is, you know, from Alpha Waymond, evil spreading throughout the multiverse, it's only you who can help us. While simultaneously getting the stakes of the normal everyday plot, which is that the laundromat could be repossessed, they could lose everything in that timeline. And it's a very stressful scene, because it's essentially, her potentially, like the whole universe is collapsing, but also her life is collapsing. And I think it's a really good example of how stakes that are just really big, like the whole universe is going to be destroyed are not actually necessarily that impactful, it's much more impactful to have something that's like very specific and personal to the character. And then they manage to marry those both together, by making the whole universe is going to be destroyed, personal for her as well, which to me was just like chef's kiss, my favorite version of this kind of storytelling. JAZZA: So in the Alpha Universe, we find out that Alpha Evelyn was the person who developed this verse jumping technology, which allows you to not necessarily— to, like inhabit the bodies of like yourself in other—depending on all of the branching decisions that you've possibly made all the way through your life. But also allows you to use all of their skills as well. So if for example, oh, let's say you were Michelle Yeoh in another universe, you'd be able to do kung fu because you learned that when you were a film star. So we also found find out that the big bad in the across the multiverse is someone called Jobu Tupaki, who is going around murdering everybody trying to find Evelyn, to what end, we have no idea. ROWAN: Dun, dun, dun. At this point, she's sort of slightly convinced, not really convinced this is real. She's very confused, and in a fit of confusion punches, Jamie Lee Curtis in the face, who has just offered to give her a little bit of an extension until the end of the day. And the classic, you'll know when it's time to fight, that happened from Alpha Waymond is completely misinterpreted, because she decides, I guess now's the time to fight and just punches this lady in the face. And it's at this point that we get our first like fight sequence of the movie. And I— JAZZA: I love all of the action sequences here. It's like one big long homage to Jackie Chan movies. It's fucking brilliant. ROWAN: It's beautiful. And essentially, it's just Waymond getting possessed by Alpha Waymond and using his fanny pack/bumbag, depending on which country you're in, to fight a load of people. And it's beautiful, it's— it's wonderful. It's actually exciting. I have a real big bone to pick with all the movies that do like CGI fight sequences against like, it's just what—two CGI things fighting each other, and I just get so bored. And these fights are consists— actually had like interesting choreography, was very legible as well, because I find that that's really tricky, which was helped by the fact that they film this movie at a very high frame rate, basically, so that they would have the freedom to use slow motion at any point, not just the ones that were scripted. Because if you've ever seen slow motion in older movies, and it looks really janky, it's basically because they put slow motion on something that was filmed at a normal frame rate, meaning that your eye is like used to seeing frames flick way faster, so it looks weirdly disjointed. And so this was this, I think really paid off for them. What I'm sure was very annoying having to film with that kind of high frame rate, I think has really worked because they utilize that so well. And before he does that, he does eat chapstick which again was extremely upsetting to watch. JAZZA: Very disgusting. So it is revealed to us that Jobu is in fact, Joy. [34:36] ROWAN: Plot twist. JAZZA: Got twist plot, and she possesses the Joy in the universe where there—the IRS having a conversation with Jamie Lee Curtis punching Jamie Lee Curtis in the face. And she wanders off somewhere, maybe to come and find Evelyn in our universe, that seems to be what is happening. Evelyn and Waymond and like it's—it's like the IRS building is in lockdown, and so they're hiding. And Jamie Lee Curtis ends up doing her own verse jump, getting the skills of a high-pitch-screaming wrestler we think? And goes around and fights Waymond one on one. But then Waymond goes, because Evelyn is so nervous, doesn't seem to be able to master any verse jumping at all on her own. He goes, you're clearly not the Evelyn I've been looking for, I've gotta go now. Bye. Can you imagine? No. ROWAN: No, I can't. JAZZA: Sorry Michelle Yeoh, you're not good enough. And so then she starts herself just doing a load of random shit in order to be able to try and get the skills of her in another universe. ROWAN: Yeah, she's like what is statistically unlikely just like give me— don't do random stuff to try and make that happen. JAZZA: She is told before Waymond runs away that saying I love you yo Jamie Lee Curtis will allow her to jump to a universe where she has the abilities of kung fu. She ends up being able to do that when Jamie Lee Curtis's knee drop is literally centimeters away from her nose. ROWAN: Millimeters, she's so close to getting a knee to the face. JAZZA: So close to getting a knee to the face. And Evelyn's verse jumps to basically the life of Michelle Yeoh, the actual actress. So interestingly, did you know that Michelle Yeoh was originally asked to play basically herself? And this verse jump, I reckon was meant to actually be our universes, Michelle Yeoh. ROWAN: I'll— well because they flashed through a bunch of footage, which is of her on various red carpets that she has done previously because it's all movie she's been in. So I was like, I didn't know whether that was meant to be literally jumping to our universe, or whether it was they just use it because it was footage. But either way, I like— I like both—both of those options to be honest. JAZZA: So she turned it down because she wanted to be taken seriously. [36:59] want to like play herself. But I do like the reading of—and to be honest, that's how I've been interpreting it as well. She's Michelle Yeoh in the other universe, is totally fine. ROWAN: Yeah. And we also get a little bit of a bunch of law here. So basically, every jump causes a crack, you can re—reseal the cracks, but only with training. You can't stay in a universe isn't your own that you've jumped to, because you could die, or worse. And essentially, we find out what the worst option is, is what happened to Jobu aka Joy, were in the Alpha Verse, that version of Joy's mind was splintered because Alpha Everlyn essentially pushed her too far. She made verse jump too many times. And now she's experiencing all of the universe, everywhere all at once. JAZZA: All at once. ROWAN: Everything, It's the title. And so she can verse jump, but also sort of manipulate matter itself at will seemingly. And so no one knows what Jobu wants, they just know that she's looking for Evelyn. And we—this essentially is like a little dump, but it doesn't necessarily feel like a bad law dump or like just exposition because you're listening to it going. Okay, okay, this is all information that I do need because right now, I don't know what the hell is going on. Because I am Evelyn, and I'm just like, oh, God, I just want to go back and finish my taxes, I guess, and be Michelle on the red carpet. But that is not her fate, unfortunately. JAZZA: So there's—out of this law dump come. I think two of the strongest themes of the movie that resonate with people the most, one is intergenerational, the differences between generations, and how relationships between generations are pressured from first-generation immigrants. So the fact that in the Alpha Universe, Evelyn pushed Joy too hard, made her crack, made her resent. And kind of like reflecting those sometimes difficult relationships, that it's similar across other phenomena like working-class parents, but especially with immigrant parents, that experience being represented there. And then also, the whole idea of fracturing, and each choice that you make in your life, creating a completely new branch of reality and possibility, really reflects people who choose to or are forced to go to another country to uproot themselves and go to another country. Evelyn, when she becomes Michelle Yeoh, and gets the skills of Michelle Yeoh, gets to see the world that she would have had and the life she would have had if she had never left for the United States with Waymond. And there's always whenever you leave a place, you make one of those big decisions. There's always the thought of oh my god, what would my life be like if I never left? Would it be better if I never left? The life I have now it's a struggle. Would it have been better if I had just stayed? And that I love the way that that is pulled through to the whole idea of kind of like the alternate realities and splintering. Like this is I think Sci-Fi and I didn't even really think of this as Sci-Fi until I saw it classified as such on IMDb. But this is Sci-Fi as its—at its absolute best, as a reflection of the real-world phenomena that happen for so many people. ROWAN: Yeah, I've been reading a bunch of like reviews and this is one that I think touches on that really nicely critic for The Washington Post. [40:22] says it's not only that the multiverse acts as a metaphor for the immigrant Asian-American experience, or a convenient parable for the dislocations and personality splits suffered by hyphenated that is Asian-American citizens. It also becomes a rather heavy vehicle for confronting and negotiating Asian pessimism, which I think is a really interesting idea of like, yeah, the— the literal hyphenation of you the— the ways in which your identity is split between and across, being something that's mirrored quite literally in this like cracking that's happening across these different multiverses. We also see at this point like the powers that Jobu has which includes like confetti cannoning a man's body apart. And various other very exciting, very exciting things which we lo—you know, I'm like, you know what I love to see, but also you are absolutely terrifying. JAZZA: Also if no, I'm sorry, I'm turning giant dildos into a murder weapon. ROWAN: Yes, stunning. JAZZA: This [41:18] and dildos, brilliant. ROWAN: Very into it. At this point, we also get Michelle jumping to a universe where everyone has hot dogs instead of fingers, I'm losing my mind. Just incredible work all around. And also, we get this moment where we're starting to see the big universal multiverse drama and the personal drama clash together, when Michelle basically is—is separating Jobu as a concept from her daughter Joy, because she says, you're the reason my daughter doesn't call anymore and dropped out of college and thinks that she's gay. So there's a sense of like, everything that's bad is not actually Joy, it's Jobu taking over her body or influencing her in some way, or being connected to her. And that she thinks that being gay is like one of these bad things like not caring and not having ambition. And being gay is like one of these things that she still doesn't support, which I think is— is very telling when we look at before where she—her excuse for not telling the granddad is like, oh, he's old, it's kind of like saying, oh, it's you know, he's old, he might be— it might like kill him all this kind of stuff, but never really admitting that she herself finds this difficult to deal with. And so we are like, this is going to be a journey for her as well in that way. And this is where we get to the bagel. JAZZA: Before we get to the bagel. ROWAN: Okay. JAZZA: This is— this is where I'm like, this is an explicitly queer movie. ROWAN: Yeah. JAZZA: It's not just kind of like a fact, this is about the queer experience. And something that I've only recently like clocked onto, I've watched this movie. I've watched the movie six times. In the—in the hot dog hand universe, I didn't even clock that the Ja— that Jamie Lee Curtis and Michelle Yeoh, in a queer relationship. ROWAN: How did you not clock that? JAZZA: I just like, obviously, I knew that it existed, but I never like when—oh, like Evelyn is also potentially at least in one of these universes, is queer as well. And showing kind of like those—a lot of this movie is about being distracted and caring about things that don't actually in the grand scheme of things matter, and deciding what you actually care about. We see that when Jobu is busy kind of like massacring all of these bodyguards. And goes, wait, you're still hung up on the fact that I'm gay in this universe? As kind of like, I can't believe that this is something that this Evelyn has decided to actually still fixate on. And it's— I think that there is a possible reading here where Evelyn herself is maybe queer in some way, shape, or form. But because of the fact that she was born in particular culture, comes from a particular time, got married to somebody who's actually trying to divorce her, was never able, and never had the freedom to be able to actually experiment with herself and—and find out about herself in that way. And actually, one of the many reasons that many people choose to emigrate and find a new life in another country, is so that they— their children can have a better opportunities and be able to kind of like be whoever they want to be. But then there is sometimes this brush up against who your kid then, therefore, wants to be, you'll have critic— critiques of like, oh, you've become too American. I don't understand all of this queerness and things like that. And I I love that kind of like relationship between Evelyn and Joy—oh, Jobu being represented here. But yeah, they're showing the bagel. ROWAN: Yeah, then there's a bagel. So basically Jo—okay, listen, stay with me here you guys. Jobu has created a bagel. And everything bagel with everything on it. That's quite literally everything in the world. All concepts, all matter, all things, which is all also kind of created a black hole that could destroy the entire multiverse. Classic. But Jobu is basically like nothing matters, so who cares? Let's all just get sucked into a bagel, that's a vibe for me. JAZZA: She's experienced Everything Everywhere All at Once. And therefore is like, well, everything matters, therefore nothing matters—matters. So what the fuck is the point anymore? ROWAN: Yeah. JAZZA: What is this world? ROWAN: Yeah. JAZZA: Essentially is Jobu's philosophy. ROWAN: Just total nihilism, just total, just like screw everything. And this is the interesting thing, right? We've heard the idea that she's looking for Evelyn, but we don't know why. And what she basically wants is for Evelyn to come into the bagel with her and for them to be dead and gone, and not have to experience anything, and just be free of the like agonies of life, and living, and experience. And it's kind of like Jobu, where's your therapist, I beg of you. We need— we need to, we need to sit down and talk about the bagel babes. JAZZA: So we—basically Jobu goes to Evelyn, I wanted somebody else to experience this with me. Her and her mother is really the only one who is able to because she invented verse jumping. Evelyn doesn't want Joy—she doesn't want joy to feel like this. She doesn't want Joy to have this nihilism as like the basis of her existence. And so Evelyn decides to do the thing that Waymond earlier said was worse than death, and splinter her mind so that she is across as many different universes as possible so that she experiences the same thing as her daughter. And so that she can get there and then bring her back. Essentially, this is the way. So we end up with Evelyn jumping to get the powers of somebody in one of the universes as she falls over and blind herself and then becomes an opera singer. As we all know, in one universe, she is one of those pizza sign spinners and manages to use that in some fighting. ROWAN: She is a chef who is friends with a man, who is being Ratatouilled by a raccoon. JAZZA: By a raccoon, Raccacoonie. ROWAN: Classic. JAZZA: Which is a better movie, it would have been a better movie, I think. [theme] JAZZA: Hello, friends Jazza here from another space and another time. Just popping in to humbly ask you to consider supporting this podcast financially. It makes a huge difference, and it keeps us on the airwaves, frankly. If you like what we're doing and want to support queer media, then you can sign up for our Patreon for as little as $5 a month. For that fee, that low fee less than like a fancy Starbucks, you can become a [47:47] called Baby Gay. And as a Baby Gay, you get access to our thriving Discord with hundreds of members who all chat about, not only movies but queer media and general chitchat that they love. It's a really lovely community. We've been going crazy about stuff like The Last of Us episodes and all of the Oscars hype. It's been a good time in the Discord recently. What's more, those Baby Gays get to join our monthly watch-along, which really is the jewel in the crown of our Patreon perks where we all watch a movie together once a month. In the run-up to the Oscars, we'll be watching something Oscars themed. Maybe The Whale, maybe not. If that sounds fun to you, check out our Patreon for that and many other perks. It really does keep the podcast afloat, especially in these difficult times. So thank you very much for considering supporting us. As returning listeners, know we are part of Multitude a collective of creators who make audio nibbles that you can listen to [48:48] really, really good. This week, I want to walk you through some of the refreshed parks that they offer to their patrons. Important hence separate to our patrons of the Queer Movie Podcast. But you get loads of really cool stuff, for example, my dears at the $10 tier who are called The Insiders, you get access to all of the behind-the-scenes stuff at Multitude. All of the drama going down in the office, all of the pet photos, and all of that kind of stuff. You also get to see the crew-only Instagram accounts, first dibs on any and all Multitude update coming down the pike. Plus, all insiders get 10% off all Multitude logo merch, and that is forever. There were loads of other perks available as well, that all have fantastic perks all the way up to the founders, which is the highest tier, where you can get hangout sessions for one to two hours with certain hosts, which is truly amazing access. So go over to Multitude Patreon and consider having a look there and seeing what you might be interested in, it can really be worth it. We are also still supported by Squarespace, who can help you to buy a domain and create a website. So a friend of mine was putting together an event in New York. Did I mention I live in New York now? And had a ton of amazing artwork that they had made in order to accompany this event. I was very naughty, and I told them to use our link, which is squarespace.com/queermovie. And I'm going to tell you what I told them, dear listener, that then convinced them to use our code. So not only does Squarespace allow you to centralize all of your assets, and platform presences in one place. It also lets you set up a shop where people can buy things from you, or even donate if they feel so inclined. Not only that high-tech analytics present a pretty good overview of how your posts are doing, how your content is doing, what's selling well. And it's all done with pretty, pretty graphics, so you can tell what is working and what isn't. And it also makes all events in New York instantly successful. Yeah, it's true. All you have to do in order to get all of those good things, maybe not the successful New York event stuff. All you have to do is go to squarespace.com/queermovie. And when you're set up to make all of your digital dreams come true, you can use the offer code, QUEERMOVIE that's all one word, to save 10% points off of your first purchase of a website or a domain. Remember to go to squarespace.com/queermovie. Now, back to the show. [theme] ROWAN: I have to ask at this point Jazza, have we reached act two yet? I forget when act two happens. JAZZA: Okay. So, so that was Act One, by the way, listener that was— ROWAN: [51:39] JAZZA: Handily, handily the movie splits it into three acts for us, that was everything. And then we go into act two, which is everywhere, but what I have also called the party and its aftermath. Because [51:54] ROWAN: Because the New Year's party is happening. JAZZA: Yeah, because as Evelyn's mind is cracking and she gets exposed to all of this and she becomes susceptible to all of the nihilism, by the way, that is in this just before this section, a fight scene with Michelle Yeoh and two people with butt plugs in them because that's the thing they had to do to get the martial arts skills. ROWAN: Classic. JAZZA: Amazing. One of the greatest pieces of cinema—cinema ever fucking made. I'm just annoyed, the whole thing was pixelated. But we ended up with her suspecting to the nihilism. And then she also just kind of like gives up and it feels like Evelyn, well, she dies, she dies in this one universe and then get sucked into the universe where she's having the Chinese New Year's celebration, where the IRS are arriving, and they're going to possess everything. ROWAN: I have my notes here was New Year's party is coming, there will be so much aftermath. Because I'm sure at this point, everyone has listened to the podcast already. But if you haven't, there is always an act in gay movies, that's the party in its aftermath. And they literally threw a party and they kept talking about this party. And I was like, we're gonna get so much fucking aftermath. We love to see it. So yeah, basically, we've reached—she's reached a point in this movie where she's basically like, yeah, you're right, everything is random and meaningless. Every single verse that I—that she's in, because she's in every universe all at once, all the time with her daughter. JAZZA: It's the movie, it's the title of the movie. ROWAN: It's the title of a movie. She's piñata in one universe, she's a rock in one universe, she's made of animation in one of the universe— JAZZA: Ah, the rock universe. ROWAN: —You've never—who would have thought that the rocks could make us feel so many fucking emotions. And there's a really, really sad bit where basically, Joy says to Evelyn, like, I was really hoping that someone else would have this experience, have themselves crack in this way. And then tell me that they had figured it out and everything was okay. And that I was just—I was just thinking about this wrong, and they would experience it and they will be able to tell me the meaning of life, and tell me what was actually happening and what I should be living for. And that hasn't happened because you essentially have turned just as chaotic and nihilistic and like, everything is meaningless as I have. And that was pretty— that's pretty rough. That's a pretty rough message for us to get at this point in the movie. So you know, spoiler alert, though, it gets better. JAZZA: Yeah. So as Evelyn kind of gives up, and he's about to step into the bagel, Waymond steps up, normal Waymond, not Alpha Waymond, because he's dead now, he died at some point. This is when I begin sobbing because Waymond is just being like, I don't understand why everybody is fighting. Why can't everybody just be kinder to one another? So this is where we have the trifecta, and it is complete. So we have Joy, who is nihilism, we have Evelyn who is existentialism, and then we have Waymond, who is optimism and absurdism. So those three philosophies, kind of interacting as these three main characters and the different ways that they go to the world, nihilism obviously everything is obviously, you read Wikipedia. Nihilism, obviously being where nothing matters, so why should you care? Existentialism is we can find meaning in kind of like the choices that we make in our live, And absurdism is kind of like finding the—it realizing how ridiculous everything is, and so laughing along with it anyway. And that optimism that can potentially come with that. So these few characters represent that, Those like three philosophies for life. And this speech from Waymond is—is one of the most heartwarming wonderful things because I think it's—it's such an optimistic take on humanity. And sometimes we need that optimism and I— I fucking loved it. So Waymond ended up influencing Evelyn. Evelyn realizes that the thing that is going to get her through this, even though that she is seeing that nothing matters, the thing that matters to her is Joy, her daughter, and so she decides that she is now going to help everybody else who's trying to fight her, including Jamie Lee Curtis. She's going to fight everybody and find out what they're thi—the thing that brings them joy. So she faces off against all of these minions. Jamie Lee Curtis, what is Jamie Lee Curtis's joy? Isn't it—is it— Jamie Lee Curtis finds out that she's lovable. There's one character—oh, the Raccacoonie guy, realizes he really loves being controlled by raccoons. ROWAN: He is played by Mike from Glee as well. JAZZA: Yeah. ROWAN: Which I immediately clocked and was like, absolutely perfect. Love it, beautiful. That boy I was like if they don't make him dance at some point during this, it would have been a wasted movie. And he does have a little bit of like more fight choreography style stuff, but I'm like I can see your dance roots in there, Harry, I can see them. JAZZA: And she makes two people dance and they become married in one universe. One of the Daniels, one of the directors, she takes him into another universe and exposes him to S&M and that's what brings him joy. ROWAN: I—the fact— I didn't know that—that was one of the Daniels, [57:06] JAZZA: That's one of the Daniels. ROWAN: I love that even more. JAZZA: It's so fucking brilliant. And then she reaches—so Jobu has summoned the bagel that's going to destroy everything and she's about to step into it. And am I sobbing? Yes, I still am. Jobu goes to like start to fight Evelyn her mother, and then Evelyn also like does like some kung fu, goes to fight, and then opens her arms to try and hug her. And eventually, Evelyn like they started rustling in tussling, and Evelyn, let Jobu go into the despair of the bagel. And that's kind of like—that's kind of like the way that this thing— no it isn't. ROWAN: Uh-huh tricks you— tricks you guys. So this I think is— okay, so again, what I found really interesting that I've just talked about before the idea of the big multiverse fight sequence finale, versus the very personal finale, and that the very personal is almost always going to be more interesting. And they tied it together so well because they have the really dramatic like, no don't go into the bagel, like trying to save her daughter she's being pulled in, which is like a very physically dramatic finale. But the actual moment is that it has that pathos and have that emotionality to it, is within our Evelyn's universe at this party where essentially Evelyn is like Joy is saying to Evelyn, like, we're just too different. You know, I'm tired, I just want to go, like us being together hurts the both of us, we need to go our separate ways. Let me go. And so her version of letting me go is very literal. Like I—we just need to be apart from each other. Like I get that we're mother and daughter but we just fucking make each other miserable. And it's this clear parallel to like the very dramatic Sci-Fi let me go into this bagel situation. And that that to me is just so perfect. And then in between we get the set— we get like the absurdist version of them as rocks and having this scene where— JAZZA: With googly eyes like we haven't even mentioned the googly eyes. ROWAN: Oh Joy's googly eye rock falling off a cliff. And then Evelyn's rock just falling after her. Oh, it's so beautiful. JAZZA: Like literally laughing and crying at stationary rocks that have subtitles. Like how has this—how does the [59:26] do that? Oh, it's so fucking good. ROWAN: It's essentially like we also get this again like very human ideas of like change and Evelyn being kind of taking up the call, so like breaking the cycle with her dad the idea of like, my daughter ended up being this like stubborn aimless mess just like her mother, and she's perfect that way. And that she gave someone— she says you gave her someone kind patient and forgiving to make up for all that she likes. Talking about her and Waymond, and her understanding of Waymond now, being so much clearer than it was at the beginning. That this is like helped her marriage, helped her relationship with her daughter. Just oh, she's—and also the idea of like, yeah, it doesn't make sense. You're saying the universe doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense that I would be like, still love you even though you only visit when you need something. And like I— you know, I hate tattoos and your covered in them and like, I could be anywhere else in the entire world. In fact, at this point, she's like a good bit anywhere else in the multiverse, it doesn't make sense, but like, just want to be with you. And like, it doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense, essentially. And I weep and I cry, and so does Jazza. Jazza at this point is just simply 100% tear. JAZZA: Can I say—so I watched it this morning at an AMC and I cried so much. Have you ever cried so much that you dehydrated and you don't have any more tears? ROWAN: Yeah, all the time. JAZZA: That was me— I've met—that's never happened to me before, yeah. ROWAN: [1:00:49] like a headache, a headache that just all come fucking zooming. And so that essentially, in every single universe, they reconcile, there's no universe that she wants to be where her daughter isn't. And that has always been her strength throughout this, right? So like, we have this bit at the beginning where she says, like, you're getting fat, you need to look after yourself, whatever. But like in her actions, she shows that she cares about her daughter. She's willing to go through the thing that will like split her consciousness and like destroy her mind and maybe make her go crazy, and potentially she'll be dead. But she's immediately like, as soon as she knows that, that's an option, that it might help her daughter she does it. And so in her actions, she's showing love from the very beginning, and it just feels like it's about being able to show it in a way that her daughter can appreciate and a language in which they both understand, both like, you know, metaphorically and literally, and vice versa, that they can both kind of start to understand each other. And know that meaning is the meaning that they make

【句子】Hello, John. Long time no see. 【Desperate Housewives S02E03】 【发音】/helˈəʊ/ /ˈdʒɒn/ /ˈdʒɑːn/ /lɒŋ/ /lɑːŋ/ /taɪm/ /nəʊ/ /siː/【发音技巧】暂无；【翻译】约翰，你好呀，好久不见。【适用场合】今天我们来学习一下这个“好久不见”Long time no see.之前网络上大家有争论说这个是不是Chinglish，查了一下相关资料，这个表达据说起源于19世纪晚期，那会儿中国人和西方人打交道做生意，这个表达其实来源于对汉语“好久不见”的字对字翻译，后来变成了洋泾浜语中常见的表达。现在其实完全大家都接受了这一说法，权威词典也收录了，所以大家大胆用。它其实就相当于：I haven't seen you for a long time.或者We haven't seen each other for a long time.或者It's been a long time since we met.再比如说：I haven't seen you for ages.所以这些说法大家放在一起积累学习。It is said when you meet someone who you haven't seen for a long period of time.eg: Well hello there! Long time no see!哈，你好呀，好久不见。eg: Hey, long time no see! How have you been?嘿，好久不见了，你怎么样啊？eg:Tom: Hi, Fred. Where have you been keeping yourself? Fred: Good to see you, Tom. Long time no see. 汤姆：嗨，弗莱德。你去哪了？弗莱德：见到你好高兴，汤姆，好久不见。今天视频中还有一个短语，先来听一下。Well, someone had to tend to the yard.有人得收拾一下院子。这里tend to sth. 是什么意思呢？可以理解成“照顾、照料、打理”这样的意思；to take care of someone or somethingeg: You really need to tend to the lawn--it's getting pretty overgrown!那草坪你真的得打理打理了，都已经杂草丛生了。eg: I'm taking some time off of work to tend to my daughter while she is sick.我请了一段时间的假，没上班，来照顾我女儿，因为她生病了。 【尝试翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】I must tend to my chores before I can go outside.

Sometimes we listen to a podcast or show for company, sometimes just to have noise in the background when we are doing the laundry or having a bath. Sometimes we listen to a podcast because it's a familiar voice, or to get some perspective on our own lives or problems. This is the topic for todays podcast after we have addressed some things.

WX: jessica66001,获得卡卡老师的英语学习干货分享更多卡卡老师福利公号：卡卡课堂“难倒谷爱凌！韭菜合子”英语该怎么说？2月14日，谷爱凌青蛙公主在比赛间隙吃韭菜合子的一幕走红网络。不过，赛后采访时，谷爱凌却被韭菜合子的英文翻译难倒。根据北京旅游网（Beijing Tourism）介绍，韭菜合子的正式英文名称是Fried Chinese Leek Dumplings，不过，网友似乎有“不同意见”，来看看评论区“翻译高手”咋说：有人建议用Jiucai Box，简单好记；还有网友简单粗暴直接音译jiucaihezi，毕竟Fried Chinese Leek Dumplings太“无趣”，这一译法也得到了大部分网友的支持；有网友认为用chive pocket更形象；但也有网友表示，没必要翻译，直接音译最简单明了，翻译成” Jiucaihezi”正如汉堡没有翻译成肉夹馍之类。其实随着中国国际地位的不断提升，很多我们以前认为的“Chinglish”,有很多已经被收录进权威的英语词典中。比如《牛津英语词典（Oxford English Dictionary，简称OED）》就收录了很多Chinglish。食物类的比如：dim sum(点心) 还有 “jiaozi”“jiaozi”（饺子）：由薄面皮做成的新月形饺子，馅料通常是猪肉、卷心菜、韭菜等切成的细末，然后将其煎、炸、烤或煮。“hongbao”（红包）：一种把钱放进红信封里的传统中式礼物。“guanxi”（关系）：社交网络系统及有影响力的人际关系系统，有助于商业活动和其他交易。“wuxia”（武侠）：一种专门描写中国古代流动勇士的中国小说或电影类型，角色通常具有超人的武功。“hukou”（户口）：中国政府发布的官方文件，证明持有人是特定地区的合法居民。著名养生网红“goji Berry”（枸杞）：一种鲜红色的可食用浆果，在中国广泛种植，某些维生素的含量很高。以及“feng shui”（风水）、“kowtow”（叩头）、“hutong”（胡同）等等等等……词组方面，自然少不了耳熟能详的“long time no see”（好久不见）： “long time no see”（好久不见）“lose face”丢脸你还知道有哪些被收录进英语词典的Chinglish吗？也记得留言分享哦！
As a young and multicultural country, Singapore's national identity has always been hard to define. With the world becoming more globalised, more Singaporeans are migrating overseas and more foreigners are moving to Singapore, our Singaporean identity is increasingly fluid and ever evolving. So is being Singaporean simply a matter of citizenship? Or is it about possessing uniquely Singaporean traits or values? If so, what exactly are these traits and values? On the eighth episode of the second season, host and Associate Director at the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) Liang Kaixin chats with Dr Mathew Mathews, Principal Research Fellow of IPS and Head of IPS Social Lab, as well as Oon Shu An, a Singaporean actress and host, to discuss about our national identity and multiculturalism.

It's a combination of celebration, remembrance and education this week – all wrapped up in a tasty package. We celebrate Hanukah with a primer on what it means to keep kosher, and a discussion of all things kosher in Las Vegas. And we found two men who know their stuff: Ken Heck, owner of Chinglish and Chinglish Kosher, and Rabbi Tzvi Bronchtain, who certifies that a restaurant or shop is, indeed, Kosher. We also remember Chris Herrin, the pioneering Strip veteran who brought great bread and pastry to the neighborhoods of Las Vegas. Chris, who struggled with diabetes for decades, died suddenly just before Thanksgiving in St. George, Utah. He and business partner Chris Connors started Farmstead Bakery in downtown St. George less than a year ago. Connors joins us, along with Chris Decker of Metro Pizza and Chris Palmeri of Naked City Pizza, to share stories about their friend. We also have foodie news and tales, and a cannabis edibles review.

In her career, Sue has written many children's books, including Rob and Bob. When Angus met Alvin, and Far from Home. She speaks about her new children's book coming out soon, titled “Maddy Yip's Guide to Life” and potentially working on the Blue Peter program. With focussing on a young adult audience for “Chinglish” to tell a moving and honest story, Sue explains the writing process. Sue has won multiple awards for “Chinglish” including, The Guardian Best Book 2019, Winner Diverse Book Award 2020, and was nominated for the Carnegie Medal 2021.
