 I want to apologize to everyone because we recorded this last year and it's not coming out till now. It took us a year to get to it, but we always get to it, don't we? You missed the joke. No, I got it. It just wasn't funny, man. No, it was very funny. You filmed it. Hey, welcome back to our studio. This is Edith. I'm Corbin. I'm Laughman. Paul is on Instagram and Twitter. I'm all juicy content. Thank you for watching. I'm Edith. I'm Edith. I'm Edith. I'm Edith. I'm Edith. I'm Edith. You did? Do you have anything to get rid of the earwax in my ear? Yeah. Have you ever done those candle things? No. They're weird. Shut up. And we'll talk about it. You stick them in that ear to cone and the fire and the wax and it comes out as weird. We are doing a movie review. It's kind of time-traveling because you're seeing this from the future. That's true. But we watched one of our first official romantic comedies. I mean, Remly was a little bit, but it was a little more than that, right? Yeah. And I would consider English from English to fall into the rom-com category. Rom-com category. Okay. But yeah, on Twitter I asked for, you know, give me a rom-com because I was feeling a little light. Yeah. We've been watching some heavy stuff. So I wanted something a little light. I thought Dil-Chart the High, but that was a little heavier than I even thought it was going to be. It was. I thought that was going to be rom-com. And that turned out to be a little heavier. This was a rom-com by every definition of the word. Yep. But we watched Jab We Met starring Shane Capporte and Karina Capporte. And Karina Capporte. Which not to be confused with the life of boxers because all boxers have jabs that they meet. Jab We Met. And it was directed by, say his name for me. MTS Ali. Directed by Rockstar and, by the way. And wrote it, I believe. And yeah, he wrote it as well. Right. But yes, it was actually really nice. This was the earliest thing we've seen Shane Capporte. He looked young. It was 2007. I think Kameni was the next earliest thing. Yeah. This was the weird scene. What's the terminology for him before he did? Chocolate boy. Chocolate boy. Yeah. And he said to me when they said this, like, this is how we met Shane Capporte. Got it. He's had quite a transformation. Yeah. He has. I like it. Yeah. And it was, I mean, we were watching this and I really enjoyed it for being a rom-com, honestly. I don't know if you did or not, but it was, I think it was really enjoyable. They obviously, I wasn't watching it from really a critical standpoint. I was really honestly, because that's why I asked for a rom-com. I was like, I want something I can just sit down and enjoy a stupid love story. Yeah. Wow. Look at Corbin saying he wanted to sit down and enjoy a stupid love story. I enjoy rom-coms. I don't know. But yes, Shane Capporte, I thought he was so interesting because one, he's very realistic in this for being a rom-com. Don't you think? Yeah. It depends on the kind of rom-com. Yeah. Like there's, my favorite rom-coms, to me, like the quintessential rom-coms are sleepless in Seattle and while you were sleeping and you've got mail and when Harry Met Sally, those are to me the quintessential rom-coms and those are pretty as silly as they can be, they're pretty grounded. Mm-hmm. You know? Well, like, I think he was, well, for the first part of it until he became basically her once she flipped. Yeah. Um, he was the grounded character in this and I thought he did, he did a really good job and she oftentimes, Corrin Capporte, reminded me of Basanti from, uh, from Cholet. Good comparison. Like, I thought this was almost like a modern Cholet love story between, uh, no, not, Well, especially at the outset, because at the outset he's silent and she just will not stop. No, she just keeps going and going and going. Yeah. And I'm a pretty patient guy and I'm a conversationalist but I was like, girl, stop. But yeah, it was, it was. But then when I started to talk. Yeah. It wasn't so much idle banter. Yeah. Yeah. And, uh, I thought that was, that was, that was really, it was a really enjoyable, um, juxtaposition. Nice. Look at you dropping the juxtaposition. I don't know why that's a thing. Apparently they like that word. I used it a couple of times or maybe I use it more frequently than I know. Like, love in the juxtaposition. Oh. Love in the juxtaposition. Yeah. I, for those of you, I think there were people who were saying when we first started getting introduced to Shahid, they were like, watch Jabwee Man. And I know there's a lot of people, this was a big hit, who love the film. For me, I was kind of like, yeah. Well, how are you watching it though? On a TV. You all right? No, I'm good. No, how are you watching it? Like, were you, were you watching it like you're, you're watching basically like Apu? No. Because that could be a big mistake. I knew. I knew. And this is true. You do have to accept the fact of where I am predispositionally when I'm going in. I will say this. Some of what I've been watching, my most recent, recent watching, not just with Apu and Gangs of Waspher, but the current awards films that we have to be watching and want to be watching, as well as some things I'm watching with Andrani that are just upper echelon, fantastic artistry. I knew I had to ratchet it down. I knew not to prejudge that. Like, my greatest pre-judgment, as we know, is my Ranbeer pre-judgment and Barfi. And I've probably done that with some films. But this one, I went into it expecting fluff, expecting nothing. Romcom, silly. I wasn't even expecting it to fall into the category of, of, of the one you just mentioned that we just saw. Oh, they'll try to hide. They'll try to hide. Yeah. So it just for me was, I got, I got kind of bored. Now I didn't get bored in the musical numbers. I thought my favorite part of the film were the musical numbers. They loved the musical numbers. And we've reacted to two of them, I think. One a long, long time ago. One like last week. Yeah. Yeah. I thought the musical numbers were just a lot of fun. But on a whole, I just found myself a couple of spots just kind of like, Well, and I mean, I can, I could take it or leave it. I can understand that. But it's, you know, this came out of, this is a lot of people's like guilty pleasure. Yeah. Like they were like, I just want to sit down and watch a stupid romantic comedy, which a lot of them are like, yeah, the proposal. It's a stupid romantic comedy. Yeah. It's enjoyable. No. And this isn't, this isn't one of those films. Like we watched it and I disliked it and was like, I don't understand what anyone would like this. I don't understand where there's, there'd be an audience for this. I'm just not that audience. I did enjoy seeing, because obviously like most people in Bollywood or India cinema, we've wrecked them backwards. Right. Yeah. And so it was so interesting because like right when he popped on screen, I'm like, whoa, one young baby. Yeah. Ridiculously young. But then seeing him and his, his growth as an actor and being able to, I think honestly he probably had the talent then to do header. It's just obviously he wasn't given the opportunity to, to do header. But it's like to, we've seen some rom-coms where people are over the top and he was I think very, very grounded and it's, it's not easy to do films like this, rom-coms where it's not, because it's honestly sometimes I think it's easier to do more dramatic stuff sometimes. It is. Because like, like these are meant to be over the top sometimes. And but you have to believe you're over the topness. Yeah. It's an old adage and it is very true. Comedy is a much harder thing to accomplish than drama. Yeah. Now there are some things dramatically that are really hard to accomplish. So. Yeah. They're both difficult. They're both difficult. But as a whole, it is. Comedy is extraordinarily hard to do. Not every actor can do both. No. And it can do comedy. That is the one thing I've always looked at. He has, he has two places that make him, he's still the best technician I've ever seen ever. But as far as Meryl Streep is a much more well-rounded actor. Meryl Streep does everything. Yeah. Musicals, comedy, everything. Daniel Lewis does not do musicals well. And we've never seen him to my knowledge try a comedy. I wish he had. Because I remember when I watched Robert De Niro, his first known comedy that made everybody go, what's De Niro doing? Was a movie called Midnight Run. Did you ever see that? No, I haven't. I know that. It's very good. And he's still his quintessential kind of Italian mafiosa guy. But it's a comedy. Yeah. And he did great. And there was like, wow, look at De Niro. Now everybody knows he can now because of Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers and everything. Yeah. I don't typically see people who can do drama really well, which Shahid clearly can do, doing comedy well. And I agree. For a movie where he was playing opposite someone who I'm sure it was written this way and was directed for Karina to make her much bigger and cartoony. And he tried, it seemed, to maintain the groundedness. Yeah. Don't know if that's a writing and director choice or if it's a Shahid choice. Yeah. I think it was. But he was fairly grounded for a long time. Ron Com of this Milk Toasty Light Sluff. Yeah. And I enjoyed it because it kind of fulfilled what I was looking for and just like, I didn't have to think during this. Correct. I didn't have to critique anything. No. It wasn't really anything. And there's a few actors we could talk about that I ridiculously enjoy. But we could talk about Karina because we've seen her in a few things. Correct. Our first introduction to Karina was three idiots. And then we saw her in... We've seen her in quite a few things, actually. Recently we saw her in the, say, Bajrangi Bajab. Oh, did we see her in Udipunjab? We did. Oh, was she in Udipunjab? She was the main... Was she? The main one, the one investigating who... Sorry, if you haven't seen Udipunjab, close your ears. Who dies? Oh, yeah. Remember? Yeah. We've seen her in quite a few certain things. Yeah. So, I thought this was actually a very different performer. And like you were saying, I think it was written that way. Clearly. Right when she came on screen, I was like, that reminds me of Basanti from... It's funny, I didn't put that together, but you're absolutely... Chole. The minute you mentioned it, it clearly is... That's exactly what came into my mind. I'm like, this is how I felt when I was watching Chole, and she wouldn't stop talking. That was the topic. I would not be as nice as Shahid. Yeah. No. You would not. I probably would have been, but I would have reached... If I was in the place that Shahid was in, I would have reached that just like he did. But I think she did a really good job, because that's not easy to do. One, to be, one, that annoying... True. That believable, that annoying. Right. There's really... There's nothing glaringly bad about this in any way. Whereas, for example, I... This isn't the rom-com, but this is the first thing that came to mind when we watched Rockstar. I appreciated what Rambeer did, but his co-star, you and I were both like... Yeah. There wasn't anybody in this that... There was nothing about this that was glaringly bad at all. Just for my cup of tea and my kind of rom-com I like. This, for me, was just kind of saccharine, milk toast, junior high, kind of level, silly fun. And there's an audience for that. I have no problem with it, but just for me, it's not a movie I would revisit again. Yeah. But yeah, I thought she did a really good job. She did do a good job. I would like to see her, and you can let us know. I will... Did we see her? I didn't like her. I apparently forgot she was in Utapunjab. Where did she flex her big acting most? Because she's a massive star. Massive star has done a lot of work and continues to... You know her and Chet were dating during this film? No. I think it broke up during this film, actually. Huh. Yeah. Interesting. They were dating during this film. But I think she's in Omkar. Oh, but there were, by the way, there were, as far as blaring things, there were just a couple of things that this won't surprise any of you. I found out that my... That insulted my sensitivities toward worldviews and absolutes and stuff. Uh-huh. The whole concept she had when he explained to her how angry he was with his mom for having left his dad for another man. Yeah. And the whole premise of there's no right or wrong in love. Mmm. Yeah. That doesn't fly with me. I'm not going to get into the bay with you again. It's all right. That for me was like, sorry, that's wrong. I don't agree with it, either. But no, it doesn't bother me. People having different worldviews in film. Well, it doesn't bother me that people have different worldviews. I just don't like that the worldviews are wrong. She is in Omkar. So, obviously, when you... She's in Omkar? She is. Apparently, obviously we're going to watch Omkar. Very soon. Very soon. Because we're... We know. We know, guys, if you're typing in here, you need to see Saif Ali Khan. We know. We are going to watch it. Obviously. We've already signed it for watching. We're very excited to. We are just... I don't want to get... I don't want to just do... Vishal Bhardwaj. Vishal Bhardwaj. Vishal Bhardwaj. I like to space stuff out so people don't... If they don't like it, I don't want to... Yeah, and all the people from the other non-Hindi-speaking film languages are like, oh, yeah, you want to spread it out when you haven't reacted to... Fill in the blank. We know we're going to get to it. Thank you for your patience. We love you. We really do. But yeah, what is her big thing that flexed her? Like, what is... I know she's known for a lot. Obviously. I wouldn't know. Like, for a dramatic turn? Yeah. I don't know. What is her, like... I would imagine performance. I would imagine it's Omkara. The subject matter and everything and that. I can't imagine she's not going to be strong in that. Especially with all the recommendations we've had for it. But I know she's in it. And I would like to get to know her more. Because I just know her as three idiots. Correct. And jab... This is how I think of her. I think of her in the same way people used to think about Meg Ryan. Yeah. Does rom-coms. Does light-hearted fare. Occasionally does a film that's on the more serious side, but she wouldn't be part of the awards conversation or considered an athespian. Right? Yeah. I mean, I thought she did really well in the salmon con one that we saw. Yeah, she's always done well. She's never been, as far as this past almost year now, when we put the actresses that we elevate to the level of could win like Oscars and things. That's why I want to know, because people do. Right. Like, I think almost everybody that was watching would put her in their top five. They would put her in the Alia category. Yeah. And the Topeka. And so I want to... I want to see what Priyanka's... I do too. I want to see why they're saying that. Because I enjoy her, but I still... I would put like Topeka, Priyanka, all those people over her because I've seen them do that work. Obviously, we... She has a thousand films that she's done, and so we haven't seen barely anything of her. She does. And though she hasn't been in things that have the weightiness of some of the heavy dramatic things, I do... I recognized in this, I recognized it in three idiots, I recognized it in another pun job, which would be the most serious thing we saw her in. Yeah. Because she has... The first person that came to mind that it would remind me of, they're very different. But she has an emotional availability that I love about SRK, where also I... Our introduction to him was, I think there's more to this guy than just being a big movie star. I think this guy's like a legit thespian. And we've started to tap into that. I have a feeling that's what we'll find out from her. Yeah, so let us know, because I know you know, and she has a huge fan base and all that kind of stuff. So I would like to watch stuff of her that she... She flexes those muscles. I do want to talk about our Sartar friend. I know. He did so well in this again. He did. Like, very different obviously. The bach muck of bach was obviously much more dramatic. Yeah. This was almost his silly side, but then at one scene, when he was yelling at his man, Shahid, I think I turned him on. I really enjoyed this guy. I really liked him. So good. So let us know what like his, because I don't know if he's ever been like the lead in a film, where he's always been more of the supporting sides. But he's really good. Yeah. I like him a lot. He reminds me, we've used this comparison with some actors before, but in American theater and film, there are these... They're really A-list actors, because all actors know who they are, and whenever somebody saw them, you'd be like, I know that guy, but so many people wouldn't be able to put his name, John C. Riley. Yeah. Yeah. Who has starred in things, but they were never big successes. Yeah. Has been in a gazillion big things where he was supporting. But he's the guy that when he shows up, he's like, hey, isn't that... Wasn't he in... I feel like maybe this actor is that? Yeah, maybe. In Indian cinema? Could be totally wrong. But I do want to know more about him. I do too. Let me... What was his name? It is... Is this one? No. No? Wait, no, because he looks so different. That might have been him. Just look and see if the credits show him in... Bug Milk Above. Bug Milk Above. Yeah, that's him. Pavan Mahotra? Yeah, he's different than... I mean, he does. Without the beard? Yeah. Yeah, he's been in a lot. So let us know. I do have just a random question, just really to culture. What is the difference and when do they seek? Six. Six. They were the... Forgive me, I don't know the technical name for them. The one with the bun at the top, right here, that they were under their turbans? Just all of them were under their turbans. I believe so. Some of them were wearing the turbans and some of them were just wearing that. Yeah, I believe... Is it a young thing that they wear that? I apologize for asking that thing. I don't know what it's called. We don't know what it's called. I'm sorry. Yeah, and Bob, he was wearing it in Bug Milk Above. Yeah, he was running. I'm just curious as to what the difference is. I think it's the piece that actually holds the hair in place under the turbans. Okay. And you can wear that just out? That's a good question. You don't have to wear the turbans? That's a good question I thought that a sick needed to wear the turban. Yeah, please help us. I'd love to know what that is. Yeah, we watched a few with six and just I don't know but I would like to know. Yeah, and a lot of the young men It's usually the young men are wearing it but not wearing a turban. Yeah, help us no more. So that was just a little... Let us know. Yeah, so like I said, I thoroughly agree with you and it was not my favorite romantic ovity, obviously, but I enjoyed watching a film that was just kind of lighthearted and I could just... Yeah, I think you liked it a little more. For me, I was just like, yeah, and that's okay. I could watch you do anything, honestly. Yeah, there's a little bias there. Yeah, I know. And that's understandable. It's okay. He's really good. I like him a lot. But yeah, let us know what other rom-coms are out there. Please. But this one, I know SRK has a turban. Dil C. Yeah, I know you guys have recommended tons as well. Yeah, there are a ton of that. I know Ren Vier has a few as well. Hey, I gotta say, we did pretty good though in 2019. Yeah. We watched 60 frickin' movies in addition to everything else that we watched. Well, some people will tell you we didn't watch. Shit.
