Speaker 25 and a special guest, Mr.

Speaker 26 Dan Levy. Get over, Dan!

Speaker 3 All right.

Speaker 3 Okay.

Speaker 25 Glitter, glitter.

Speaker 40 Here we go.

Speaker 42 Well, this movie is a movie that I've heard about for a long time.

Speaker 44 So you hadn't seen this?

Speaker 45 I had not seen this movie.

Speaker 38 I owned the DVD, but never worked up the courage to watch it.

Speaker 47 It's very hard to find this movie.

Speaker 31 Yes.

Speaker 47 It's only available on Amazon for $3.99,

Speaker 49 and it's an hour and 47 minutes long.

Speaker 44 $4.99 for HD, y'all.

Speaker 53 Powerful people have done a lot to make sure that you don't see this.

Speaker 54 Yes.

Speaker 55 Yes.

Speaker 56 A lot of people say the reason why this movie didn't do well is because of September 11th.

Speaker 10 Because it was released the week after,

Speaker 18 but it has nothing to do with that.

Speaker 60 It is a terrible movie nonetheless.

Speaker 61 How convenient for them.

Speaker 50 Like,

Speaker 59 I've literally read multiple releases.

Speaker 12 Beautiful timing.

Speaker 62 Mariah Carey numerous times says 9-11 was the downfall of

Speaker 3 the girl. Oh, no.

Speaker 47 But it takes place, it's such a New York movie that, you know, the last thing you do want to see after 9-11 is Mariah Carey

Speaker 49 representing her city.

Speaker 46 I will say that someone pointed out to me that even though it takes place in New York, there are many Toronto landmarks throughout the movie.

Speaker 66 Very Canadian.

Speaker 10 They shot it in Toronto.

Speaker 70 You would think they would have the budget to shoot this in New York.

Speaker 72 They had $22 million.

Speaker 49 Yeah.

Speaker 65 What about Madison Square goes?

Speaker 73 $22 million.

Speaker 66 $22 million. $22 million, and it made a whopping $2.5 million

Speaker 40 opening weekend.

Speaker 41 And then worldwide, 5.2.

Speaker 44 Wow, it looks like it was made for like five shits.

Speaker 72 And you had the HG version.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 47 Because it's an 80s movie, but there's nothing 80s about it.

Speaker 44 Nothing.

Speaker 5 At all.

Speaker 33 Nothing. Nothing.

Speaker 18 That was the, and they don't even clearly delineate that it is the 80s.

Speaker 10 They don't put like a graphic up to say like 1980.

Speaker 59 Well, that one guy was in a silk.

Speaker 22 1983. Oh, does it? Okay.

Speaker 78 I didn't like the HD version.

Speaker 44 It's very blurry.

Speaker 72 And that one guy was in the silk shirt with the C D's all over it.

Speaker 79 That's true.

Speaker 64 Right.

Speaker 72 That was pretty clear.

Speaker 80 But it's also Mariah Carey, so you're watching it.

Speaker 47 You're like, oh, this is a 90s movie.

Speaker 48 It has to be.

Speaker 16 Yeah, it doesn't feel, it doesn't feel like...

Speaker 44 There's nothing 80.

Speaker 44 They just paid no attention. Like, I almost think they decided to say it was in the 80s to make it seem more interesting.
Because, like, afterwards, they

Speaker 72 this needs to be a period piece.

Speaker 57 The biggest clue that's in the 80s is they just play that rap song: like, Don't Push Me, Guys,

Speaker 10 that's the only thing I need to do.

Speaker 49 People have cordless telephones.

Speaker 44 1983, people weren't like, That wasn't happening.

Speaker 60 No.

Speaker 83 As a matter of fact,

Speaker 84 he's on the cover of Spin, and Spin didn't even come out until 1985.

Speaker 85 So,

Speaker 44 yes, see?

Speaker 47 But there is the character named Chili D,

Speaker 15 which is a pretty 80s name.

Speaker 30 It is.

Speaker 87 It has a pretty good name.

Speaker 29 This movie has all the stuff that I love, which is like things that don't ever exist, like the 80s clubs in this movie.

Speaker 24 Like someone's doing semaphore, like in the club.

Speaker 43 Another guy has like a Lion King, like shield.

Speaker 10 That's right.

Speaker 18 Like that never happened.

Speaker 22 Right.

Speaker 44 And there's this club that is a dance club packed with thousands of people. There's a DJ who's also a world-famous record producer,

Speaker 44 and he has the power to break artists at a dance club.

Speaker 44 Like, he gets the market. Can we just start talking?

Speaker 35 Yeah, please. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 60 Let's get into it.

Speaker 44 He's DJing like the full thing with the headphones when the tape comes up to him. Someone gives him the tape.

Speaker 49 Yeah.

Speaker 8 He,

Speaker 44 thank you, Casey.

Speaker 5 Don't drop it.

Speaker 59 Don't drop it.

Speaker 44 He listens to it

Speaker 88 three seconds.

Speaker 80 Two. I think it was two seconds.

Speaker 44 And says, this is amazing. Who's this?

Speaker 44 And

Speaker 54 it's spice, right?

Speaker 89 I mean,

Speaker 44 the Padma.

Speaker 63 Silk. It's Silk.

Speaker 44 Padma Lakshmi's character, right?

Speaker 30 By the way, Padma Lakshmi

Speaker 90 did not know she was an actress until this movie.

Speaker 60 No.

Speaker 23 And really want to spin off of her character and Terrence Howard.

Speaker 85 I want to see their lives together.

Speaker 80 By the way, how upset is Terrence Howard that he's in this movie?

Speaker 3 This must fucking kill him.

Speaker 44 But he's like super good in it.

Speaker 60 Yeah.

Speaker 59 He is giving it his all.

Speaker 72 He really is giving it everything he has.

Speaker 3 He's trying.

Speaker 80 He's trying way too hard in this movie.

Speaker 44 You know what, you guys? I think Top Chef is her spin-off.

Speaker 44 I think that's the character.

Speaker 90 Silk didn't make it in that business, and she moved over.

Speaker 44 No, but he gets the tape, puts it in, listens to it for two seconds, and then says, oh, this is great. And then right then,

Speaker 44 he introduces Silk and the girls, and the camera pans over, and they start performing for the club.

Speaker 9 Yeah, they're ready to go.

Speaker 79 They're ready to go.

Speaker 44 It makes no fucking sense.

Speaker 72 He just had to listen to them for a second before he saw them.

Speaker 64 Right.

Speaker 66 And by the way, it wasn't like a dance song.

Speaker 28 It was kind of like a ballad song, right?

Speaker 84 It wasn't like a song that you'd be like, let's put this on in the club and people are going to go crazy.

Speaker 37 No.

Speaker 15 Thank God Silk was there, you know.

Speaker 80 Because imagine if he was like, This is great, fuck, they're not here.

Speaker 8 Exactly.

Speaker 80 What are we gonna do?

Speaker 5 Well,

Speaker 30 it just goes back to the whole movie is suspect because Terrence Howard originally finds Mariah Carey and her two girls the backup,

Speaker 71 they're just dancing like they're just

Speaker 72 Louise

Speaker 48 and the other one playing the other one,

Speaker 93 Roxy and Louise.

Speaker 44 Wait, now who is Roxy?

Speaker 73 Who is?

Speaker 38 Roxy is the other one.

Speaker 75 Okay.

Speaker 10 The one that is not the Brad.

Speaker 60 Both spirited, spirited performances.

Speaker 61 I have some questions about them, too.

Speaker 94 Yeah, I think we all do. Yeah.

Speaker 44 They were really giving it their all.

Speaker 72 And I felt like I should have was in a time machine nuts. I would have been cast as the other one.

Speaker 72 And I thought she gave a lot to that i thought they both gave their heart and soul oh i felt like i didn't mind that performance

Speaker 37 with hamlet

Speaker 23 like comic relief but like it was so odd because it looked like terrence howard was just going to watch three girls dance at a club he's like hey i want you guys to be backup dancers like no no no we're not into that we're doing our own thing but i wasn't quite sure what their own thing was

Speaker 44 yeah i have terrence howard and padma ask them to be backup but like from what why would he ask them to do that from what he saw?

Speaker 28 Well, that was my question.

Speaker 46 It's like they're just

Speaker 48 dancing, and I didn't even understand what club would give that

Speaker 95 an outlet.

Speaker 44 Like, if you guys want to come and dance on stage, because they were backstage, like they have dressing rooms, but all they were doing was dancing with thousands of people.

Speaker 5 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 48 But the camera was focused on Mariah the first time you saw her in that leopard thing.

Speaker 47 You know, that must have been maybe from his point of view.

Speaker 30 And they, but she literally

Speaker 5 is VOV.

Speaker 89 But she said, Mariah's like, we don't want to be a backup because we're doing our own thing, but we never established what that was.

Speaker 10 At all.

Speaker 45 Because it didn't seem to me like Mariah wanted to become a singer.

Speaker 54 Ever in the whole movie.

Speaker 64 Yeah.

Speaker 72 Even at a time.

Speaker 98 As a child, she did not want to go up on stage.

Speaker 66 Yeah, she was emotionally scarred. It was making her.

Speaker 25 Well, her house almost got burnt down by her dumb mom.

Speaker 94 I wanted that.

Speaker 72 That's my favorite scene. When the mom said this, it was just so, like, every other scene took about five hours.

Speaker 26 That scene, the mom was like, well, I know.

Speaker 99 Totally.

Speaker 65 But the credits keep on going. Do you notice that?

Speaker 49 Forever.

Speaker 66 The credits are going like an hour, 10 into the movie.

Speaker 63 It's like director of photography.

Speaker 79 I'm like, what?

Speaker 78 Why is this happening still?

Speaker 59 I want to

Speaker 11 take credit for this movie.

Speaker 30 I wanted that mom to really be on fire.

Speaker 25 Like, I wanted her to run into like, Mariah's like,

Speaker 79 just like in flames.

Speaker 72 Burn her face, just burn something more.

Speaker 21 And I guess maybe this is me paying a little bit of not that much attention to the top.

Speaker 96 They didn't really establish her as being like an anecdotor.

Speaker 31 Was she an answer?

Speaker 60 No, she just was such a great singer.

Speaker 50 She's a smoker, right?

Speaker 44 She was just sleeping. She had a sleeping.
Yeah.

Speaker 77 Yes.

Speaker 72 She had smoking and a sleeping problem.

Speaker 65 She was addicted to cigarettes.

Speaker 101 It's a really, you know, it's very addicting.

Speaker 40 Don't smoke.

Speaker 50 Don't smoke.

Speaker 72 It's like she's following her dreams. I didn't see her try to get another job anywhere else.
I'm like, this selfish mom was just like, I got to sing, but I can't take care of you.

Speaker 22 It was just strange.

Speaker 44 Like the house burnt down, and then she's like, bye.

Speaker 5 Yeah.

Speaker 15 And then when she gets to the orphanage, I mean, those kids were, I feel like they acted as well as DeBrat and the other one.

Speaker 72 That was DeBrat and Louisiana.

Speaker 35 Yeah, they weren't acting.

Speaker 50 That was their characters.

Speaker 5 Yeah,

Speaker 5 them.

Speaker 50 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 44 Yeah, it's like Richard Link later.

Speaker 73 They shot the first car.

Speaker 8 And then came back.

Speaker 72 Yeah,

Speaker 72 they're shooting an installment now.

Speaker 49 They're still shooting the movie right now.

Speaker 47 But when they came over to her, and I think it was

Speaker 47 very friendly right away. But the first question was, are you Puerto Rican?

Speaker 51 Right.

Speaker 47 And she said, no, I'm mixed. And they said, okay, I guess I like like you then.

Speaker 44 End of conversation.

Speaker 49 End of conversation.

Speaker 31 We're going to be a trio.

Speaker 90 We got this going on.

Speaker 84 We have a plan to do something that is undefined and I will never say it.

Speaker 44 We're going to be endlessly loyal to each other for no reason

Speaker 44 and pertaining to what we don't know.

Speaker 44 Let's get busy doing that.

Speaker 72 And just a sidebar, the scene with DeBratt and the other one when they were trying on clothes and watching the news report, That was alternately like she's watching the news and then it's very comic turns with the other one coming out so quickly in different outfits.

Speaker 5 Does anyone

Speaker 49 thank you? When was that?

Speaker 72 You know, hard to say.

Speaker 24 It was just somewhere in the kind of middle, right, when they're watching.

Speaker 72 But it seemed like a long improv between the two of them that the director was like, this is gold.

Speaker 60 Keep going.

Speaker 44 That's something that Casey brought up backstage that I think is true, that it seemed like there was a lot of loose improvisation to the movie.

Speaker 59 DeBratt is someone who's going to improvise.

Speaker 44 Look, you hired DeBrat.

Speaker 102 You're going to get it.

Speaker 72 Well, you're getting it.

Speaker 77 De Brat.

Speaker 12 And

Speaker 15 I looked up the guy who played Dice.

Speaker 88 Yeah. I forget his name.

Speaker 49 Max Liesley. Yeah.

Speaker 47 But he is a known improviser.

Speaker 22 Really?

Speaker 49 No, no, he's not.

Speaker 40 He's definitely.

Speaker 81 I thought for a middle of the movie that Dice was just Jim Brewer.

Speaker 80 Just waiting for him to do the goat man in the middle of the club.

Speaker 44 Not to brag, but I was in a movie with Dice, with Max Beasley.

Speaker 95 Oh, really? Yeah.

Speaker 67 Did you guys talk about glitter?

Speaker 44 Not to brag.

Speaker 73 Maybe you've...

Speaker 44 No, no, no, maybe you've heard of it.

Speaker 5 Talk about it. What was it called?

Speaker 38 What was it?

Speaker 73 What was it?

Speaker 44 It was a movie called Torque. Oh.

Speaker 22 Sorry, sorry. Wow, wow, yeah.

Speaker 52 So, yeah, I mean, look, you don't have to brag about it.

Speaker 40 No, No, I'm not.

Speaker 5 I'm not bragging about it. Just looking at my papers.

Speaker 55 I'm looking at my notes.

Speaker 30 But to talk about dice, are we going to see a clip of dice right now?

Speaker 101 I'm going to show the what

Speaker 52 is people often called like the meat cute, I guess.

Speaker 36 This is like when Dice and Mariah Carey is rocking a great bicycle, like Lance Armstrong hat.

Speaker 3 Very or very 80s.

Speaker 50 Not 80s.

Speaker 48 Not 80s. 90s.
Not anything.

Speaker 24 I kind of felt like they told Mariah Carey this movie takes place in the 80s.

Speaker 10 She's like, well, I won't dress badly.

Speaker 42 I'll dress like, I'll wear what I wear normally.

Speaker 55 Right.

Speaker 12 Oh, all right, sure.

Speaker 104 Someone also mentioned this, and I didn't notice this, but that she has like a silver streak on her.

Speaker 54 On her shoulder. Yes.

Speaker 60 At one point. What the fuck is that all about?

Speaker 66 According to all the research I was able to find, no one knows.

Speaker 36 There is really,

Speaker 40 like, no one has been able to put it together.

Speaker 90 The closest that we got was because Mariah wanted a silver streak on her. Like, that was it.

Speaker 44 But at one point, it's here, right? Yes. Is that where it is in the whole movie?

Speaker 60 It moves. It moves.

Speaker 23 Is that the glitter?

Speaker 94 That's glitter? That's the glitter. What?

Speaker 98 Glitter?

Speaker 99 What?

Speaker 39 Oh, my God.

Speaker 63 We solved the riddle.

Speaker 65 Wait, so she's made of glitter?

Speaker 12 She is glitter?

Speaker 33 She's personified?

Speaker 44 Is that where her robot skin has been worn off?

Speaker 62 I want to see Terminator 4 with Mariah Carey from Glitter and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Speaker 45 All right, so here's a scene.

Speaker 24 This is where you get, I mean, and again, you get the taste of the chemistry that's going on between these two people.

Speaker 32 The love story for the ages.

Speaker 20 Here we go.

Speaker 80 I don't soup girls up.

Speaker 12 Really?

Speaker 105 Really?

Speaker 106 Look, I know you're a fly DJ and everything, really, and I should be honored that you want to work with me, but I mean, I'm just not into the games.

Speaker 7 I'm not playing games.

Speaker 49 I'm serious.

Speaker 52 So there you go.

Speaker 29 That's kind of and that's you know, we don't know if they're gonna get together, but they do.

Speaker 44 And that that was immediately after he had been saying the same thing to Pad Malakshmi, and then he discovers that Mariah Kay was the one doing the singing.

Speaker 37 Right, because

Speaker 20 they were basically like Terrence Howard kind of shit on her.

Speaker 72 She did like a storm-off riff.

Speaker 64 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 98 But up until that point.

Speaker 60 Wait a minute. Yeah.

Speaker 44 Up until that point, we had no idea she was angry or frustrated with her

Speaker 60 with anything.

Speaker 73 She was fine.

Speaker 48 She was fine.

Speaker 47 She was fine with it. She was just living her life.

Speaker 96 She was fine being the...

Speaker 72 Because she wasn't giving her best stuff.

Speaker 47 She was saving it for Dice, who his name is Dice in the movie. He also goes by Dice Man.
I mean, how mad was Andrew Dice Clay

Speaker 80 when he sees this?

Speaker 90 That's his whole thing.

Speaker 29 The Dice Man is, I just still don't understand how, like, I guess now, like, who's a big DJ?

Speaker 37 Like, Tiesto or like... like Skrillex?

Speaker 35 Like, yeah, like, would you, would that guy,

Speaker 60 he's a DJ?

Speaker 54 Skrillex.

Speaker 49 Did Did I say his name wrong?

Speaker 10 Srix, like, breaking like R ⁇ D performers.

Speaker 54 But like a club owner,

Speaker 44 apparently like the manager of the club, the DJ of the club, also like

Speaker 44 a big record producer and an artist manager.

Speaker 24 Who seems to have no other clients.

Speaker 5 Or him at all for that matter.

Speaker 30 To me, the more believable story would be like, I've always wanted to produce. Sure.

Speaker 35 Trust me and we'll get there.

Speaker 46 Instead of like setting him up as I know you're the hottest producer in the world, he's not.

Speaker 30 No, not at all.

Speaker 73 He's not.

Speaker 64 He didn't even have a keyboard.

Speaker 15 He has nothing.

Speaker 65 He has nothing except for that black tank top that he wears so much.

Speaker 44 It's true about the keyboard because his

Speaker 72 beautiful scene.

Speaker 44 He has an apartment filled with musical instruments. And then she gets him a shitty keyboard.

Speaker 72 It's like that shitty yama.

Speaker 51 Yeah, he got

Speaker 44 very big at all.

Speaker 12 He's like, oh my God,

Speaker 44 you got me this.

Speaker 41 And

Speaker 24 there is nothing more uncool than watching someone on an electric keyboard compose music.

Speaker 10 Right.

Speaker 72 He's like putting the bass, the beat on. He's like,

Speaker 18 oh, my favorite thing about him, though, is that he loves the marimba.

Speaker 5 Yes.

Speaker 78 Which is like...

Speaker 23 You know, and Mariah Carey, when she first sees the marimba, is like, what is this?

Speaker 22 Like some kindergarten thing?

Speaker 20 He's like, like, no, it's my favorite instrument.

Speaker 44 And that's where she gets all hot for him.

Speaker 99 That's the moment.

Speaker 78 That's the turning point.

Speaker 49 It's him playing this thing.

Speaker 72 The whole movie is different people watching other people sing or perform the marimba and just being like with no emotion or expressions just like mm-hmm.

Speaker 72 And like, and then that person in the next scene watching them, that same person, just like, everyone's watching everyone and just loving their music making.

Speaker 90 The one thing I did like that they kept with that marimba is like later on in the movie, not to jump ahead, but they, you know, obviously they have a falling out Mariah and dice.

Speaker 35 And like he's composing. Oh, yeah, it's happening, guys.
And he's composing his own music, but he's playing the marimba.

Speaker 23 Like he's he's making tracks with a marimba being the lead instrument.

Speaker 38 He's like,

Speaker 23 and showing the drummer how he's fucking up.

Speaker 95 Like, no, you're not doing that.

Speaker 85 What was the purpose of that?

Speaker 12 Follow Marimba.

Speaker 73 So weird.

Speaker 47 Well, I really enjoyed their first date.

Speaker 88 Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 47 When she was like, is this a date? What's going on?

Speaker 64 And so suspicious that she thought he was going to kill her or something.

Speaker 18 But yet she was also really excited about the date. She went looking out the window.
She's like, ooh, Lemo's here.

Speaker 66 Ooh, it's a date.

Speaker 31 She's like, it's not a date.

Speaker 97 But she dressed for a date.

Speaker 15 And then she's like, what's with these snails?

Speaker 44 But she and her friends are all aflutter about this date. But

Speaker 44 the previous like 10 minutes of the movie was a montage of them spending all of their time together.

Speaker 28 Yeah, it did not seem like this was out of the norm at all.

Speaker 44 Oh, they're just going to go get dinner. Like, they're always.

Speaker 72 They were holding hands on the street before that.

Speaker 47 That might have been like a reshoot situation, you know, where they had the rose thing at the end, not to jump to Madison Square Garden, and then they're like, oh, fuck, we got to set up that rose.

Speaker 49 Right. Let's all go back to Toronto.

Speaker 44 But they accidentally...

Speaker 44 Dropped that scene in 20 minutes after they were supposed to.

Speaker 3 They're like, you know what?

Speaker 79 We're locked.

Speaker 60 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 46 I also will say that, I don't know, this is little things bug me, but it looked like that limo did not have a driver when it pulled up.

Speaker 25 It looked like he drove that limo to the date.

Speaker 12 Like, yeah, CMZ gave me this limo, but no driver.

Speaker 74 Get in the back.

Speaker 44 Oh, that was one thing.

Speaker 44 When he's talking about the record companies that are going to be at the dance club to discover new artists,

Speaker 44 he says, EMI, Warner Brothers, and CMZ are all going to be here. It's like, oh, I wonder which one the movie's going to end up using.

Speaker 61 They do a great, like a bunch of great stuff like that.

Speaker 84 Like when she performs on late night live, which is Saturday Night Live, they do a lot of like switching.

Speaker 53 But, oh, I also like when they go meet with CMZ.

Speaker 35 Like they come in and they go, oh, we're so glad you're here.

Speaker 62 You're signed.

Speaker 5 Like, well, right.

Speaker 89 Yeah,

Speaker 89 you were coming in for the signing meeting.

Speaker 89 There's the champagne in the floor.

Speaker 72 And then they're like, the main boss can't be here.

Speaker 5 I was like, why?

Speaker 50 Yeah, there was.

Speaker 28 She's kind of a big deal.

Speaker 101 Everyone should come meet her.

Speaker 47 Chili B is trying to sign her at the club.

Speaker 44 But the night before that meeting, they see the label guys, and the guys are like, why don't you come in tomorrow and we'll sit down and chat? They're like, okay.

Speaker 44 Then they go in and they're all drinking champagne and celebrating.

Speaker 44 But they never have that meeting where they decide that this is what the...

Speaker 35 It almost seems like they walked in.

Speaker 45 It's like, if they would have continued to take the rest of the meetings the rest of the day, they may have been signed at a different label.

Speaker 82 They just like first come, first serve.

Speaker 23 Like, hey, you're here, you're signed. What?

Speaker 35 We got you first.

Speaker 20 You would think that Mariah Carey at one point would just like pipe up and go, actually, no, this is not how this business works.

Speaker 18 I know because I'm a huge, gigantic star in this world.

Speaker 35 Like, I have a little life experience.

Speaker 65 She was also married to a record, you know, Tommy Mattola.

Speaker 31 So she definitely was like, oh, all of this is wrong, by the way.

Speaker 50 But now was Mariah Carey.

Speaker 66 Was this guy supposed to be Tommy Mattola?

Speaker 80 I think so.

Speaker 76 Because they were married.

Speaker 20 Tommy Mattola and her were married in 93, deteriorating by 95 and divorced in 98.

Speaker 52 And Mariah Carey called their house sing-sing because he would never let her leave and called their marriage a private hell.

Speaker 64 Awesome. I believe it.

Speaker 35 Yeah, but this guy was pretty abusive to her, but also she kind of always liked him.

Speaker 44 Yeah, and at the end, she's totally devastated when he's murdered for weird reasons.

Speaker 50 Can we talk about his murder?

Speaker 64 Or not?

Speaker 61 Yeah, why not? We could jump all the way around.

Speaker 47 Because that really, when it got good for me, was when he was shot in the shoulder.

Speaker 74 Yeah.

Speaker 44 And then later they say he was shot in the chest.

Speaker 51 Yeah.

Speaker 63 He saw him get shot in the shoulder.

Speaker 15 He also clearly went right into his shoulder, which he

Speaker 63 could have shot him in the

Speaker 3 same friends.

Speaker 65 But then, you know, he could have got, but in the shoulder, the shoulder, that means he probably, really, probably is bled to death on the street.

Speaker 81 That or unless he is cut out too early, it was a real violent ending.

Speaker 5 Yeah.

Speaker 47 He shot him five times, curbed him, and then just ran back.

Speaker 24 If you haven't seen the movie, basically what is going on is Terrence Howard sells Mariah Carey for $100,000.

Speaker 89 And it seems like she's making that money in spades.

Speaker 72 But Dice is just like, I'm not paying it.

Speaker 69 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 66 Dice is not going to.

Speaker 72 I'm not worried about it at all.

Speaker 47 When Terrence Howard says it's $100,000, Dice is like, all right. But like, we're supposed to get that he can't afford it.
But he's a DJ.

Speaker 80 He's very popular.

Speaker 47 And he runs a record label.

Speaker 8 And he's.

Speaker 75 I thought he actually paid him off.

Speaker 56 I didn't think like when he said $100,000, like, oh, yeah, he paid him off.

Speaker 67 He seemed to win with it at first.

Speaker 15 Yeah, he was like, uh, and then I was like, okay.

Speaker 72 And then it was like, no, this is a problem.

Speaker 96 And I didn't get that scene when Dice kind of confronts Terrence Howard.

Speaker 1 He's like, is there food in your fridge?

Speaker 60 He's like, yeah, I didn't understand that.

Speaker 72 That was.

Speaker 89 Yeah. And is he saying, like, you don't need $100,000?

Speaker 94 Yes.

Speaker 72 And then Terrence Howard seemed to be like, good point.

Speaker 49 Yes.

Speaker 44 No, he was. He was like, good point, but still, I would appreciate the money you owe me.

Speaker 72 And then the scene when Terrence Howard came in and came behind Mariah Carey, she was in the house for like 40 minutes before she noticed that he was standing behind her.

Speaker 72 She was like talking for so long to dice in the other room. Like, baby, we're going to do this and we're going to,

Speaker 22 but she turned around like 40 minutes after he was standing there. Terrence is a creeper, man.
He just hangs out.

Speaker 88 Yeah.

Speaker 56 And then Dice beats the shit out of Terrence Howard.

Speaker 9 Right. And he's in the wrong.

Speaker 50 Yeah. Like, Dice is wrong.

Speaker 5 Like, yes.

Speaker 76 This movie actually proves to me as it goes on, like, oh, I'm glad she's not with Dice.

Speaker 29 Dice is not the right girl.

Speaker 3 Dice is a horrible person.

Speaker 15 Dice is a horrible person. He could have.

Speaker 72 He called her friend a fat ass, ass and he called the other one something.

Speaker 107 Let me show that scene.

Speaker 50 This is a

Speaker 76 so you know obviously Dice is on the way out.

Speaker 18 And just one

Speaker 76 point to make here is like when Dice is on the way out,

Speaker 21 they also kick out the Brat and Roxy.

Speaker 57 Yeah. They get them out too.

Speaker 96 And there, we continue to check in with her two friends, but they don't seem to have any career ambition.

Speaker 40 Like, where are they?

Speaker 46 What are they doing? Are they just still dancing?

Speaker 44 And when they kick them out, when they're shooting the music video, they're like, oh, we got to get rid of them.

Speaker 44 Then they cut to the two friends, and one of the two friends, DeBrat's like, fuck this. And she walks out right before they go and fire.
Like, why would you choose a shot of her walking off set?

Speaker 64 Yeah.

Speaker 109 Before the big reveal of we're making you fire your best friend.

Speaker 37 Right.

Speaker 14 And that music video scene, by the way.

Speaker 55 Oh, man.

Speaker 3 It's very long.

Speaker 65 Everything about this movie is very long.

Speaker 26 Yes.

Speaker 46 The director is quoted as saying that it was the funniest scene in the movie

Speaker 10 and that he loved that guy.

Speaker 108 He loved,

Speaker 52 he just loved that actor.

Speaker 19 It's like a scene, like it's like Juan Pablo from The Bachelor is directing a music video, and he makes them replace the hot girls with like naked men.

Speaker 30 And he's German. Yes.

Speaker 37 And it's weird.

Speaker 44 And it's not any

Speaker 44 more ridiculous than it was before. It's just slightly different.

Speaker 29 Yeah, and those girls were not bad.

Speaker 46 But yeah, they're like, oh, yeah.

Speaker 24 It's his vision. It's his vision.

Speaker 21 It's like, again, this is not how this industry works.

Speaker 23 A director would have like a storyboard.

Speaker 46 He wouldn't be like, oh, wait, she brought her own backup dancers?

Speaker 45 Oh, shit.

Speaker 52 I got a whole different plan for this music video.

Speaker 90 Like, it doesn't just change instantly.

Speaker 84 Like, you just can't do that on the fly. But it seemed like, oh, no, no, no.

Speaker 45 We changed the whole music video in this, like, in five minutes.

Speaker 84 We got him out.

Speaker 44 Anyway, Dice is upset, and it's like, this guy's a really hot director. You have to do it.

Speaker 46 You gotta listen to this German director.

Speaker 60 This is after Eric Benet has come on the scene.

Speaker 21 Yes, Eric Benet is on the scene, and Dice isn't jealous, and this is where he lashes out against our two friends.

Speaker 105 Do you think that he'd want to actually write a song with you if you were, you know, properly dressed?

Speaker 106 What is that supposed to mean?

Speaker 105 What it means is, look at everything here. Everything is hanging out.

Speaker 105 Where do you get this from anyway?

Speaker 72 I got this from you.

Speaker 106 Why don't you just leave her alone again?

Speaker 110 Hey, mouth. Did I ask you?

Speaker 65 You just mad because you don't produce her no more. Get over it.

Speaker 106 Louise, don't say that.

Speaker 110 Hey, Louise, you know what? I produced just something a little more than a body pop, fat ass.

Speaker 79 Dice, fat ass. Who are you calling fat ass?

Speaker 47 You got plenty of ass.

Speaker 98 You do not talk to her like that. I told you once.

Speaker 110 Don't mouth off again, Roachbag.

Speaker 60 You dice. Shut up.

Speaker 98 Okay, you know what? Let's just get out of here.

Speaker 3 Calm down, you can't. Excuse me.
Could you pull over?

Speaker 72 Look, he doesn't know what he's saying. He's trunk, okay?

Speaker 60 You're trunk.

Speaker 64 Apologize.

Speaker 54 What's the matter with you? I don't know.

Speaker 60 Look, you're trunk.

Speaker 3 He's trunk.

Speaker 3 Could you pull over?

Speaker 9 Yeah, pull over.

Speaker 72 And also no limo driver in that scene.

Speaker 77 Yeah.

Speaker 109 Yeah, no limo driver.

Speaker 47 They couldn't afford anyone to say, okay.

Speaker 24 Did he call her a roach bag?

Speaker 93 Yeah.

Speaker 35 That's a real, like a term you might call a bad apartment, but a human being

Speaker 83 means that like roaches live.

Speaker 47 Again, that wasn't an 80s outfit. Like, I think that was like pure 1991, 1993, cross colors.

Speaker 44 Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 64 Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 80 The Brat was wearing the clothes that the Brat wore on tour with Crisscross.

Speaker 38 Everybody bought their own wardrobe.

Speaker 44 I have written down here, does she want to be a singer? Is she interested in the music business?

Speaker 72 Well, also, I would like to segue just into Mariah herself.

Speaker 95 Yeah, sure.

Speaker 73 We could.

Speaker 60 Yes.

Speaker 94 Yeah, she thought, comments, concerns.

Speaker 31 Mariah is an interesting character in this, obviously, because she doesn't really have a passion.

Speaker 79 Wait, in real life?

Speaker 3 No, no, no, no.

Speaker 12 In the movie.

Speaker 35 Sorry, I should say Billy Franks.

Speaker 38 The character Billy Franks.

Speaker 37 Who is Mariah? A game right now.

Speaker 23 Yeah, she's an odd character.

Speaker 24 Very passive character.

Speaker 44 Yeah, you can't tell if she's coming or going.

Speaker 44 Annoyed, thrilled.

Speaker 77 Every expression looks like she's about to laugh.

Speaker 72 She's like,

Speaker 72 It's like, is the laugh coming or is it sad?

Speaker 60 Well,

Speaker 27 that's also her cry face because her cry face is like

Speaker 23 just like it's like it's never going to get there.

Speaker 72 I will admit in the scene where she was asking about her mom when she suddenly decided to go try to find her mom.

Speaker 85 Yeah.

Speaker 64 I felt for her.

Speaker 60 Why?

Speaker 64 I did.

Speaker 72 I thought she handled that scene pretty well when she put the glasses on.

Speaker 72 And I know nobody wants to hear it, but I don't know if I'm overly emotional period but i i didn't mind that scene the acting i want to hear it thank you i just that i thought that was a nice well

Speaker 47 really turned the crowd off it's it's mariah carry you know starring in this movie so you know she had like an acting coach like on set who was just like you know by the side just being like you were killing this

Speaker 47 yeah you are doing this and the brats looking at her like yeah we're fucking doing this mariah yeah okay but let me ask did anyone see mariah in precious

Speaker 5 no yeah Yeah.

Speaker 64 She was pretty similar.

Speaker 49 Wait, you said where Mariah didn't see Precious?

Speaker 103 I got confused for a second.

Speaker 57 Yes, I did see her.

Speaker 5 And they're so similar.

Speaker 35 I saw it and I loved it.

Speaker 10 It was great.

Speaker 64 Did I see her in the butler?

Speaker 103 Was she in the butler? I did not see the butler. I'm sorry.

Speaker 49 She was in the butler?

Speaker 74 Wasn't she?

Speaker 31 No? She was.

Speaker 60 Yeah, I know.

Speaker 3 How many people saw the butler?

Speaker 12 One person.

Speaker 25 I want to see the butler. If everyone saw the butler and I said that, hilarious applause break.

Speaker 49 But everyone's like, I don't think I saw that.

Speaker 44 I was trying to pinpoint, like, I was trying to figure out, like, maybe the director was like, let's just keep it loose. Look, forget about the words.

Speaker 44 Let's just play. And so she's like, okay, let's play.
But she just kind of locked into this weird thing.

Speaker 24 It is an odd choice because I feel like even her stage persona, like her stage persona as a singer is similar to her stage persona in this as an actor, which is very like,

Speaker 39 sultry.

Speaker 53 Sultry doesn't translate as a thing.

Speaker 97 Right.

Speaker 9 I don't think.

Speaker 44 And is her stage persona in the movie different than her stage persona? Because I don't. I was trying to think of like as a performer in like real life, Mariah Carey.

Speaker 78 She is a good performer, right?

Speaker 44 Like I would imagine she's a good performer.

Speaker 49 Yeah.

Speaker 46 But she doesn't have like stage persona.

Speaker 69 Tough crowd.

Speaker 9 Jeez.

Speaker 64 Yes. No, she's not.
She's Mariah Carey.

Speaker 47 She could stand on the stage and sing, and everyone's like, yeah, but she's not like that.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Dan.

Speaker 59 She could stand on a stage and sing.

Speaker 63 She's Brian Carrie.

Speaker 72 You know why I'm taking up Brian's cause?

Rules and restrictions apply.

Speaker 76 I do want to also talk about like the only real difference is like her hair straightens as she gets more famous.

Speaker 24 That's a big thing.

Speaker 46 And she's just constantly in different gowns.

Speaker 8 And she's doing a lot, a lot of wardrobe, a lot of wardrobe changes in this.

Speaker 76 She dresses like MC Scatcat in the beginning of the movie and then becomes like a very graceful.

Speaker 44 It's like MC Scatcat and Lance Armstrong next to go

Speaker 35 now dice makes the very cool choice of at the uh whatever it is the uh

Speaker 76 the america the usa music awards

Speaker 87 that that's the best part she's in the limo and they're like hey we just got to call you have to perform at the usa music awards right now

Speaker 3 what

Speaker 72 we're we're turning the limo around right now yeah and they turn it around she shows up like oh wait get on stage sing your song and that's when she's like can someone call dice she could never get called dice herself she's always like, can someone call dice?

Speaker 47 There needs to be some explanation, like, why right now?

Speaker 9 You know, like, never happened.

Speaker 65 That never happens. MC Hammer was murdered right now.

Speaker 18 It's like, get there, go perform.

Speaker 30 She performed, like, that all happened within like three hours, but dice did, like, and they're like, oh, you think, like, oh, they're blowing off dice.

Speaker 84 Like, Dice can't make it. Dice can't make it.

Speaker 18 But then he was there at the American Music Awards in his open black t-shirt

Speaker 29 where apparently Lionel Ritchie has swept the awards because everything was like a Lionel Ritchie.

Speaker 24 Like, it's like the whole movie is told through like bad news reporter footage.

Speaker 42 Like, today, Lionel Richie won a bunch of awards here.

Speaker 72 And then, when they leave, the major plot point is just a newscaster.

Speaker 10 The newscaster delivers all the important information.

Speaker 47 Well, speaking of, you know, Mariah's acting, the last newscaster

Speaker 80 reporting on Dice's murder.

Speaker 78 Yeah.

Speaker 80 That was really just her going,

Speaker 50 not a trainer.

Speaker 101 And then a bunch of people in big suits going, we're really sorry.

Speaker 44 And also the room they're in backstage at Madison Square Gardens is literally, it looks like

Speaker 78 a room at an, like a Hyatt.

Speaker 44 Yeah, like a Hyatt with kind of an Asian flair.

Speaker 35 I was going to say it looked like a low-budget James Bond villain, although.

Speaker 10 And by the way,

Speaker 89 like, all right, so you see that Dice gets shot.

Speaker 35 And then she's like, where is Billy Franks?

Speaker 62 Where is she?

Speaker 72 She's like, it seems like the concept, it's like, yeah, why was Billy late if she didn't know that he was shot?

Speaker 59 She has no job.

Speaker 26 She's like,

Speaker 64 he was shot.

Speaker 56 Like, so she's like everyone's bad at their job because, like, she shows up, like, five minutes late to her own concert.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 35 Not knowing that Billy Frank, not knowing that Dice was shot.

Speaker 31 Right.

Speaker 70 It just happens to see the news report and then does the show.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 49 And was happy with that.

Speaker 47 And the fact that the New York City Toronto News reports on that murder immediately is impressive.

Speaker 59 Yeah.

Speaker 25 Someone's murdered.

Speaker 64 Get the camera crew.

Speaker 44 But it's also, there's the time, she goes to Dice's apartment right before that big show, and he's not there. She just wants to like tinker on the ivories.

Speaker 44 Feel him in the ivories.

Speaker 53 Yeah, because she realizes that even though he's abusive and mean, she loves him.

Speaker 37 She loves him.

Speaker 72 Did she get a piano or was she at the Yamaha?

Speaker 5 She was at the real piano.

Speaker 72 But then I was like, but why not at the Yamaha?

Speaker 73 After all,

Speaker 64 she gave it to him.

Speaker 11 Yeah, I bet.

Speaker 35 Why give him a Yamaha if he had a real piano?

Speaker 44 And why was he so fucking psyched about the Yamaha? Yeah.

Speaker 47 I'm sure, like, the props guy, I can't imagine that the crew was, you know, together on this movie. I'm sure they got to that scene.
They're like, oh, where's a Yamaha?

Speaker 80 And he's like, oh, I brought it to this other fucking movie. Just have her play the piano.

Speaker 5 They're like, all right, action.

Speaker 10 Power right because they're shooting down the block, and they needed it for a scene.

Speaker 44 I really did look for the Yamaha in that scene. I did not see it in that scene.
It just was nowhere to be found.

Speaker 30 He probably destroyed it after they broke up.

Speaker 37 Like, ah, I hate this Yamaha.

Speaker 52 Casey, I think you're going to get to the point that you were talking about, maybe the continuity thing, right?

Speaker 22 Yes.

Speaker 84 Well, please bring it up, and then I want to show you something.

Speaker 72 Well, just some continuity, many continuity issues throughout, it seemed. Some lipstick when she kisses the music

Speaker 72 note. It just seems very off to me, but maybe I'm.

Speaker 44 When he finds it later, it looks completely different.

Speaker 5 Oh, well, the thing I was noticing was that when she first comes there, she sees a picture of them, and it's them, like, it's like him, like, hey,

Speaker 86 and she's like, I love you.

Speaker 40 In front of a brick wall.

Speaker 8 In front of a brick wall.

Speaker 44 They were at the improv.

Speaker 50 And then

Speaker 89 as she writes her note, they fade back down to that picture. And it's a completely different

Speaker 59 kissing.

Speaker 27 It's them kissing.

Speaker 35 So a lot of people go, oh, that is a continuity problem.

Speaker 24 Thankfully, there's a director's commentary track.

Speaker 49 Oh, wow.

Speaker 22 Did you watch it with the commentary?

Speaker 10 I have clips of the commentary.

Speaker 57 Yes.

Speaker 30 And the commentary track, this is one of the best commentary.

Speaker 29 If you have the means, buy the DVD for 98 cents on Amazon and enjoy this commentary because it's full of chunks and little things like this.

Speaker 57 So here we go.

Speaker 113 And it's got this wonderful magi realist moment where she kisses the photo

Speaker 113 and it's not the same photo that we saw when she picked it up.

Speaker 55 After

Speaker 113 she kisses the

Speaker 113 piece of music, you look at, we zoom in on the lipstick,

Speaker 55 her heart,

Speaker 2 the billy.

Speaker 113 And if you look at the picture, the picture is now, they're now kissing.

Speaker 113 And so one of those very subtle sort of magical realist moments.

Speaker 3 Yeah, picture.

Speaker 3 Magical

Speaker 25 realism.

Speaker 83 What?

Speaker 25 For those of you who did not know what was happening,

Speaker 25 magical

Speaker 73 realism.

Speaker 5 Wow.

Speaker 5 But they like...

Speaker 26 That made me feel really sad.

Speaker 65 I feel like he was making that up as he went along.

Speaker 49 I think this was the first time he saw the movie.

Speaker 3 He's like, oh, God.

Speaker 12 What did I do?

Speaker 44 There was something else that happened right there that I was going to point out.

Speaker 73 Yes. And it's right at the end of the day.

Speaker 37 I think this is maybe the thing.

Speaker 70 Please, because I think I've an issue.

Speaker 44 She's walking out and he's walking in. Yes.
And it's supposed to be one of those near-misses, like, oh, shit. Yeah.

Speaker 44 But it's literally, they would have seen each other.

Speaker 44 They would have just been like, oh, hey, hey, Dice.

Speaker 18 Now, here's my issue with it.

Speaker 30 And

Speaker 35 I'll turn in the volume on it.

Speaker 29 But the idea is, she's walking, the mattress is breaking them up, right?

Speaker 5 Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 24 So my thought is when the mattress clears frame, there should be dice.

Speaker 29 He shouldn't be coming in from the side of frame.

Speaker 90 Like

Speaker 46 look at like if you're a director, you'd be like, oh, she doesn't see him because he's over here.

Speaker 59 But no, he's over there.

Speaker 59 He's going the same direction as the mattress.

Speaker 27 The same mattress direction.

Speaker 72 That's a theological realism.

Speaker 65 Right there. She definitely would have seen him.

Speaker 60 Like as she was turning around, be like, oh, dice.

Speaker 63 He would have been like, oh, hey.

Speaker 80 Piano, where's your Yamaha?

Speaker 100 You know?

Speaker 83 There's a bunch of...

Speaker 58 The one thing I just want to tell, again, little things that get caught in my mind that I feel like it's worthy of talking about is when she goes on Saturday Night Live, and I want to just applaud the sketch that was happening on Saturday Night Live.

Speaker 56 I do not, unfortunately, the blow dryer briefcase sketch.

Speaker 18 So she's like getting ready.

Speaker 10 Again, very late.

Speaker 62 Like they're like, okay, Billy, you're on in like four minutes.

Speaker 112 And she's just arriving at SNL.

Speaker 10 Like there was no rehearsal time.

Speaker 35 There was nothing.

Speaker 10 She's being ushered in moments before her performance.

Speaker 8 Terrible management all around.

Speaker 44 Publish everything.

Speaker 98 No one gets her anywhere in her.

Speaker 64 That's her whole career.

Speaker 72 The publicist is working her whole career is like, we got to go now.

Speaker 79 You're on in five.

Speaker 72 And then she's like, cold ice.

Speaker 29 But yes, the blow dryer briefcase is one of my favorite scenes.

Speaker 32 But

Speaker 20 here's actually a little thing about that.

Speaker 30 The publicist character was supposed to have a thick Swiss slash German accent.

Speaker 79 Like all publicists.

Speaker 86 But the studio felt that since this was the 80s,

Speaker 32 the accent wouldn't work in tandem with the costumes.

Speaker 73 Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 31 Because that's the problem.

Speaker 80 That's the problem with this movie, the publicist accent.

Speaker 44 I'm glad the studio was choosing to micromanage things like that.

Speaker 44 And just let the big picture stay as it was.

Speaker 29 Other little things from the commentary track that I just realized I have this page here.

Speaker 52 Max Beasley is the guy who you worked with in the great film Torque, led the way for Fast and the Furious Films.

Speaker 108 Yes.

Speaker 5 He

Speaker 62 toured with George Michael and Jameer Kwai.

Speaker 44 Oh, like as a singer-dancer?

Speaker 103 I guess as a Marimba player, drums and piano.

Speaker 36 I mean, he toured with them.

Speaker 30 I mean, he plays drums and piano.

Speaker 44 He's a super nice, sure.

Speaker 60 Very cool guy.

Speaker 22 Let's say he's touring with Jameer Kwai and George Michael, the talented dude.

Speaker 73 Has to be cool.

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 114 And then this is another funny thing from the commentary track.

Speaker 53 The director originally didn't want to do the movie because he wasn't interested in working with singers.

Speaker 108 He wanted to work with actors.

Speaker 21 But after he saw Mariah Carey's audition tape for Shaft,

Speaker 46 he signed on to direct.

Speaker 44 For the Samuel L. Jackson.
Yes.

Speaker 37 Shaft. Mariah Carey did not get that part.

Speaker 60 Everyone else was like, oh.

Speaker 5 Wow.

Speaker 30 And And then this is one more little fact.

Speaker 88 This is another fact.

Speaker 24 The director of Glitter thought that one of the funniest scenes in the movie was the music video shoot.

Speaker 53 The director is making her wear a bikini.

Speaker 37 Apparently, the intent of the scene is that the director was English was his second language, and his vision was getting lost in the translation.

Speaker 84 That was the game of the scene that we might not have gotten.

Speaker 5 Whoa.

Speaker 44 I actually figured that out.

Speaker 31 So just some little tips that you might get in there.

Speaker 22 Man.

Speaker 43 It's pretty great.

Speaker 72 What happened to Eric Benet? I'm like, did I forget how that ended with?

Speaker 44 He just faded away.

Speaker 81 Eric Benet, basically, everyone was like, Dice is bad for you.

Speaker 21 You need to team up with Eric Bonet.

Speaker 71 Dice is like.

Speaker 72 But I love the world in which Dice is like an abuser and a womanizer and Eric Bonet is the saint.

Speaker 10 Yeah, they recorded a duo,

Speaker 14 like

Speaker 14 a song.

Speaker 21 It became number one. She played Master Square Garden.
Bye.

Speaker 37 See you later. He's done.

Speaker 103 He served his purpose. See you later.

Speaker 37 See you later, Eric Benet.

Speaker 46 Well, let's go to the audience because we have a couple more clothes, but let's go to the audience here and see if there's anything that we might have missed.

Speaker 52 So let's get these house sets up. All right.

Speaker 88 Oh, we got a lot of hands.

Speaker 51 All right, already.

Speaker 88 All right, let's see.

Speaker 52 Let's see what people are saying.

Speaker 37 All right, Lana, go to you first.

Speaker 46 What is your name?

Speaker 30 What would you have called Billy Franks?

Speaker 17 What would you have given her the name of in your question?

Speaker 4 My name is Cora.

Speaker 14 I would have given her the name

Speaker 4 Seductive Sultress.

Speaker 12 Ooh, nice. I like that.

Speaker 4 And my question is,

Speaker 4 when you were listening to the commentary, did they say anything about Mariah Carey's cats?

Speaker 5 Great question.

Speaker 72 That cat lived a long time.

Speaker 43 The cat went away for a majority of the

Speaker 94 hour and ten minutes.

Speaker 72 And then on the stairwell, I'm like, is that the same cat?

Speaker 29 Well, they make a big deal out of it because She has the cat as a child, but then when she breaks up with dice, you see her like grabbing the cat and leaving.

Speaker 72 Like, I'm taking this cat with me.

Speaker 60 Yeah. And you're like, oh, did I miss the cat? Like, I fucking forgot about that stupid cat.

Speaker 60 How did I miss the cat entirely?

Speaker 49 When she went into the organization.

Speaker 18 Because you wouldn't know it.

Speaker 89 Because the cat really is barely in the movie, but is grabbed as an exclamation point when she storms out of Dice's apartment.

Speaker 22 You're like, I'm taking the cat. Yeah.

Speaker 19 And the cat's head is just in her hands.

Speaker 20 It's a nice two-shot.

Speaker 47 To be fair, the cat is in the first 40 seconds of the movie.

Speaker 57 Apparently, Mariah didn't like working with the cat.

Speaker 37 So, yes, your name, what you would have called Mariah Carey's character and your question.

Speaker 115 Yeah, my name's Carrie.

Speaker 6 I would have called her character beige.

Speaker 112 She is a beige woman.

Speaker 46 She's like khaki. She's a khaki woman.

Speaker 63 Well it wasn't so much about like skin.

Speaker 115 Well costuming was definitely part of it, but it was just more her general attitude towards the movie.

Speaker 88 Ooh, interesting. I like that.

Speaker 115 So the beginning is a flashback scene. And then at the end of the flashback scene, we get the transition that's like the whoosh.

Speaker 115 And then it's supposed to be in the present, but no, it's still in the past. And then there's another scene, whoosh, still in the past.

Speaker 80 Yes.

Speaker 115 This goes on for like five times.

Speaker 5 Yeah.

Speaker 49 Yeah. This really.

Speaker 23 Well, transit.

Speaker 24 We haven't talked about transitions.

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 44 Let's hear it for transitions.

Speaker 67 There's a lot of that like

Speaker 48 raving type of stuff throughout the entire.

Speaker 61 Well, let's just talk about the fireworks.

Speaker 36 That's a ballsy move for any filmmaker.

Speaker 10 You're like, yeah, let's put some fireworks in this one transition scene.

Speaker 44 There were several times, they weren't exactly transitions, but there were just times when it would, when the scene would speed up.

Speaker 35 Yeah, that.

Speaker 44 And it was just because these stupid, shitty, terrible shots they were getting were taking too long, so they had to speed them up, right?

Speaker 72 Yes, like when Terrence, Howard, and Dice were walking through the bar, and then it just was like in three phases.

Speaker 85 Yep.

Speaker 8 Yep.

Speaker 85 Okay.

Speaker 47 It's like they sped that stuff up, but again, like the first part of the movie

Speaker 59 is so five minutes long.

Speaker 17 All right, ma'am, your name and your question.

Speaker 4 My name is Valeska.

Speaker 19 Nice to meet you.

Speaker 4 There was a part when, after they went to bed together the first time,

Speaker 12 made love. She was saying.

Speaker 59 When they fucked.

Speaker 4 She said, I don't generally do this. And then he was really mean and he said, oh, I can tell.

Speaker 5 I forgot about that.

Speaker 73 Yeah.

Speaker 44 He said, I can tell. And then she gave him an absolutely blank look.

Speaker 44 And he said, I'm just kidding. She gave him another blank look.
And then the scene ended.

Speaker 103 All right, sir, your name, your song title, a dice-produced song track, or Billy Frank's alternate name, and your question.

Speaker 44 All right, my name is Brian. My dice song is Trouble in Paradise.

Speaker 3 Whoa!

Speaker 99 Nice!

Speaker 42 Yeah, very nice.

Speaker 49 Very good.

Speaker 44 And

Speaker 44 there's a scene halfway through the movie where it's shortly after she tries to find her mother, and then she finds a homeless woman on the stream.

Speaker 72 Thank you.

Speaker 44 Saying identical to her mother, looks at her, and then just walks away, and then nothing has ever, nothing happened.

Speaker 39 That's a good point.

Speaker 56 We were talking about this backstage.

Speaker 46 What do you think happened there?

Speaker 72 Was it a dream?

Speaker 92 Because why wouldn't you at least stop her?

Speaker 102 Right? Like you would.

Speaker 72 Magical realism, I'm here.

Speaker 78 Magical realism.

Speaker 32 All right, yes.

Speaker 83 When in doubt, it's magical realism.

Speaker 52 I'm going to come over here. All right.

Speaker 58 Your name, your dice song track, and your question.

Speaker 4 My name is Erica. My dice song track is going brawless because there was a lot of brawless moments.

Speaker 4 My question is, if you notice, and if you know this about Mariah, she only likes to be photographed from her right side.

Speaker 4 And there is, I think, one scene in the movie where the director got her left side. Does it say anything in the commentary of how long he had to talk to her to get her to shoot from her bad side?

Speaker 103 Ooh, that's a, no.

Speaker 38 In the commentary track, he is effusive about every actor except for Mariah Garrison.

Speaker 59 Really?

Speaker 39 He's not mean about her, but he's diplomatic.

Speaker 22 Really?

Speaker 78 Yes.

Speaker 57 So

Speaker 57 that speaks volumes.

Speaker 19 All right, let's see.

Speaker 30 I'm going to see what your question is. All right.

Speaker 37 Your name, your dice track, and here we go.

Speaker 116 My name's Tony. Of course, the dice track has to be Dice, Dice, Baby.

Speaker 64 Dice.

Speaker 52 Respect.

Speaker 116 I'm very surprised that the studio made a casting choice based on it being an 80s movie because there's so little reason for it to take place in the 80s. I could have sworn it was added in post.

Speaker 93 Well, we talked about that.

Speaker 10 Yeah, it could have been a post.

Speaker 18 Yeah, there is not like she's not an 80s singer by any means.

Speaker 47 I know, I was just waiting for dice to do a bunch of Coke.

Speaker 47 That would have been like such the easy thing. Like, it's the 80s dice.

Speaker 80 Just do Coke in every scene.

Speaker 100 All right, okay.

Speaker 59 Yeah, stop the Yamaha.

Speaker 60 Yeah.

Speaker 63 There are two things.

Speaker 5 There's Coke everywhere.

Speaker 64 I'm like, all right, now that's the same thing.

Speaker 44 Cookie rated, like, PG-13.

Speaker 19 PG-13, yeah. Oh, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 So they couldn't do Coke.

Speaker 75 Well, I would say this is

Speaker 75 a good thing.

Speaker 60 The mom was a smoking smoking addict. Yeah.

Speaker 66 There's like two things that upset me about it.

Speaker 24 Number one, I go into this movie and I think, well, at least there'll be some great Mariah Carey songs.

Speaker 3 Not a one. Not a one.

Speaker 59 No, they're all terrible songs.

Speaker 3 They all sound exactly the same.

Speaker 72 They're all so breathy and short. You don't even get

Speaker 5 a real Mariah performance.

Speaker 72 It's not that I want it, but you don't get it.

Speaker 79 I was...

Speaker 65 I was waiting for it.

Speaker 47 Just kept on hearing that stupid silk song over and over again. Yeah.

Speaker 78 Like, no, no.

Speaker 24 no no this movie actually made me really happy that when stefani didn't try her hand at acting like i actually have more respect for her i was like you know what you did it right because gwen stefani could have done this but she said no i'm a fucking singer yeah

Speaker 80 what do you have i saw her kids in ralph's last weekend

Speaker 46 i'm sure she's raising them with the same smartness that she did when she probably turned down her movie everybody.

Speaker 54 No, she wasn't there.

Speaker 49 Someone else with their kids.

Speaker 24 Oh my gosh, you have a notebook?

Speaker 38 All right, here's your question.

Speaker 103 Um, I actually have a song title as well.

Speaker 17 It would have been uh, Honey, You've Got a Bunch of Ass, or whatever he says in the limo.

Speaker 88 Oh, I like it.

Speaker 17 Yeah, but my uh, my question is: she was trying to find her mom for so long, but she knew who her real dad was.

Speaker 20 Why didn't she ever try and find her dad?

Speaker 17 Like, the whole

Speaker 38 well, the dad abandoned her, though.

Speaker 81 I mean, that was it, though, or the dad didn't want anything to do with her.

Speaker 18 The mom, it's it seems weird because the mom seemed to give her up without any issue.

Speaker 12 I guess they both abandoned her.

Speaker 5 I think the mom was just like, look, I'm a smoker.

Speaker 47 I can't raise you.

Speaker 72 How come the mom, you know, Mariah's biggest dream, you know, and it sounds silly, but it was for the mom to be sitting in the audience and be proud of her.

Speaker 60 Yeah.

Speaker 72 How come Billy's dream for her at the end wasn't that the mom was at Madison Square Garden? It was like, gotta go see mom in Maryland.

Speaker 70 Well, by the way, Billy's letter at the end of the movie, we haven't even gotten into that.

Speaker 88 Yeah.

Speaker 76 The best thing in the Billy is now dead.

Speaker 86 No, no, sorry.

Speaker 37 Dice's letter. Dice's letter.
Sorry.

Speaker 78 Yeah, sorry.

Speaker 80 Dice has been shot to death.

Speaker 3 But

Speaker 35 luckily, he went to Madison Square Garden, dropped off a handwritten letter and one rose and wrote a letter that it would explain everything just in case he was shot.

Speaker 39 Like, he basically is like, so sorry, Pot.

Speaker 28 I love you too.

Speaker 112 By the way, found out about your mom. Here's where she lives.

Speaker 28 Got to go.

Speaker 66 See you after the show.

Speaker 33 Bye-bye.

Speaker 25 Like,

Speaker 25 some of that for after the show. Like, hey, great job.

Speaker 109 By the way, I found your mom.

Speaker 10 Like, you don't have have to put that all in the letter.

Speaker 80 P.S., I feel like I might get shot tonight.

Speaker 44 Wait, how does she know who her dad is?

Speaker 46 Because in the beginning, they go to that guy's house and knocks on the door, remember?

Speaker 60 They get that money. She needs the money.

Speaker 44 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 3 Which I was.

Speaker 72 Was the mom just recently fired?

Speaker 5 No, she was on fire.

Speaker 44 She did. She said, I just got fired.

Speaker 72 I didn't know if that was wrong.

Speaker 97 I I think she was lying because she's an addict of smoking.

Speaker 54 Right.

Speaker 3 She needed money for a cigarette.

Speaker 72 Again, and I'm so sorry to bring it up. And it's not to be funny.
I'm genuinely asking, why didn't Dice bring the mom to Madison Square Garden?

Speaker 72 They had an attempt at a kind of a nice ending.

Speaker 44 Casey, we don't know.

Speaker 5 But wait, we never know.

Speaker 79 Great answer.

Speaker 3 Wouldn't it have a great question? Let it go. Let it go.

Speaker 18 Wouldn't it have been a great ending if he was like...

Speaker 23 He was like on the phone. He's like, yes, yes, she's performing tonight.
I'll come pick you up. All right, I'll be right there.

Speaker 63 And then Terrence Howard's like, bam.

Speaker 25 Like, that would have been more spelling as a moment.

Speaker 44 There is no connective tissue in this movie.

Speaker 54 Nothing.

Speaker 78 Just the cat. I was looking forward.

Speaker 60 Disconnected.

Speaker 78 All right. Yes, your question.

Speaker 10 You have the notebook.

Speaker 21 The notebook is open. There's many things in there.

Speaker 52 Thoughts are in there.

Speaker 17 All right.

Speaker 20 Your name, your song title, your question. Go.

Speaker 4 Okay. My name's Maria.

Speaker 4 My dice song title would be Elton John Lookalike because there's definitely a scene in the club where I thought he was Elton John for like the whole scene because he looks exactly like him.

Speaker 69 Dice looks like Elton John?

Speaker 4 He's got like the round glasses and he's just kind of sitting chilling. He doesn't say anything.
I thought they got Elton John for the movie and I got excited for a second.

Speaker 44 Dice has round glasses.

Speaker 60 I don't remember this scene, but one scene.

Speaker 83 She's got a notebook, so I believe her.

Speaker 55 Okay, okay.

Speaker 65 I feel like she paid more attention.

Speaker 5 All right, here they are.

Speaker 4 So it's always great when they can manage to work in the title of the movie into a line, and that happens during that excellent music video scene when the director says the glitter cannot overpower the artist which I feel like the screenwriter wrote that line and sat back and was like nailed it

Speaker 25 he was like done for the day

Speaker 72 yep I just saved the cat he was like I was gonna have the mom coming back to the square garden not anymore He got real lazy.

Speaker 52 Let's see. Who has a good question?

Speaker 62 There's so many great questions.

Speaker 114 I don't even, there's a wealth of great ones.

Speaker 17 I'm going to ask you because here's my question. All right.

Speaker 20 Your name, your song title, your question.

Speaker 16 Here we go.

Speaker 6 All right, my name is Paul. My song title, no, the album, I'd probably call it Song in the Key of Yamaha.

Speaker 5 Oh, I like that.

Speaker 6 And then what gets me is: all right, when you get into the movie, they do put what year it is, it says 1983. And then the ticket on there says

Speaker 6 she's performing in, and it's dated in July. So she got famous and all that stuff in six months.
And then she was told that she had to change her sound. She hadn't even put out an album yet.

Speaker 61 That's a very good book.

Speaker 61 Yeah, she had just basically had a single.

Speaker 70 And you got to change it.

Speaker 46 People are sick of this single.

Speaker 19 All right.

Speaker 72 It got bumped to the second on the charts.

Speaker 73 Yeah.

Speaker 65 That was a big deal.

Speaker 52 All right, your name, your song title, and your question.

Speaker 13 My name is Ashika. My song title.

Speaker 88 Made up.

Speaker 13 That could be Billy Frank's name.

Speaker 40 It could be. I like that.

Speaker 13 My song title would be, I don't know, Party Like It's 1993, because that seemed like the actual date this movie.

Speaker 88 Like it, all right.

Speaker 4 And my question is: can we talk about Dice's accent?

Speaker 19 Good question, yeah. What do you think?

Speaker 10 Where do you think he's from?

Speaker 4 Well, I guess since Adam knows him, is he not American?

Speaker 5 He's British.

Speaker 26 He's British.

Speaker 99 Oh, I didn't know that.

Speaker 31 Well, but that doesn't explain the accent because it was kind of like he's like a New York.

Speaker 29 A lot of British, when British people do American accents, they feel like they take a Robert De Niro-y kind of like

Speaker 22 a thing, yeah.

Speaker 5 Don't fuck it.

Speaker 83 One more question. One more question.

Speaker 114 There's something that wants to go to the.

Speaker 44 Like Lucky Seven.

Speaker 58 Yeah. Oh, my gosh.

Speaker 70 You have a good question?

Speaker 28 Do you think you have a good question?

Speaker 107 Who has a good question?

Speaker 84 Really have a good question. All right, you do.
All right.

Speaker 40 I think.

Speaker 44 Did someone say no when you asked the business?

Speaker 55 Honestly, no.

Speaker 5 Hands go down.

Speaker 3 I'll sit back. It is a great thing.

Speaker 61 You make everybody think about it.

Speaker 65 There's no bad questions because we only have bad answers.

Speaker 5 All right, here we go.

Speaker 52 Your name, song title, question. Okay.

Speaker 4 My name is Naomi. My song title would be, I'll only kiss you twice.

Speaker 73 That's terrific.

Speaker 4 They only kiss twice in the whole movie. And the lyrics to the song that she's singing about her mom are, you could have had the decency to give me up before you gave me life.

Speaker 72 So that's not so much a question as a terrible downer.

Speaker 25 But it's worthy of talking about because I thought the mom was very

Speaker 10 good with her.

Speaker 31 I mean, she made sure she went to a bar where

Speaker 83 they served milk in shock glasses.

Speaker 65 Then she forced her on the stage to sing.

Speaker 26 Yeah. And then she burnt down her house.

Speaker 76 Well, obviously, they reunite.

Speaker 52 Obviously, they reunited.

Speaker 20 And I want to show the director's commentary track for the reunition.

Speaker 44 I just wanted to say real quick, there's that scene when they're in the cab and the song comes on the radio for the first time.

Speaker 73 Yes.

Speaker 44 And they're like, get it.

Speaker 35 He's like, you got to get.

Speaker 44 He gets out of the cab. It's so confusing.
It's like, oh, so you're on, you haven't been on the radio yet? Okay.

Speaker 72 Their success level is so unclear in this whole movie.

Speaker 93 Well, he runs out of the cab, grabs a homeless person, hugs him.

Speaker 82 That was the first thing.

Speaker 44 And then she's like, give me, give me,

Speaker 44 give me change. Give me, she keeps asking for something.
I don't know what she's talking about. And he gives her a couple quarters.

Speaker 44 she runs over to the phone booth and there's a little kid making a phone call like a nine-year-old just chatting on the phone yeah yeah

Speaker 44 they're like please just let she's on the radio right now uh let us have the phone and he's like he gives them the phone and then he says she's on the radio can i get her autograph and uh dice is like dice said i don't got a pen baby

Speaker 44 And the kid like goes away.

Speaker 47 But the way the movie goes, it would have made more sense if, like, Dice was like, hey, the radio called.

Speaker 18 They need you to be over at the radio station to sing the single right now because it's popular.

Speaker 83 So, all right.

Speaker 97 Here is,

Speaker 57 let's check in with the end of the movie so we can kind of get the idea of what you dummies missed.

Speaker 52 Because clearly there's a lot of symbolism here that

Speaker 114 none of you got.

Speaker 83 So, Mariah Carey takes her limo all the way to Maryland

Speaker 83 to her mom's house,

Speaker 29 and her mom recognizes her immediately.

Speaker 37 So, her mom is very aware of Billy Franks, I would imagine.

Speaker 84 Okay,

Speaker 6 she's been famous for six months.

Speaker 113 The juxtaposition of the gown,

Speaker 3 glitter,

Speaker 3 and the

Speaker 3 country,

Speaker 55 on the grass,

Speaker 113 and her mother in the country house. I thought,

Speaker 113 there's a wonderful way to

Speaker 113 in the picture. Where though there has been loss,

Speaker 113 there's new beginning. And ultimately, you're never too far away.

Speaker 94 So,

Speaker 44 does he ever once, during the commentary track, just say, look.

Speaker 83 This is the last one I will be doing.

Speaker 44 Like, I'm sorry.

Speaker 60 Then you hear a gunshot.

Speaker 61 He did do it with a gun in his mouth the entire time.

Speaker 72 The mom looks completely, like, she's completely kicked her cigarette habit.

Speaker 60 And like, it's like a Geneva commercial. Yeah.

Speaker 72 The end, it's a very nice house. It just seems sort of like, well,

Speaker 96 well, to me, again, the more compelling ending is that she gets her mom off the street.

Speaker 62 Like, her mom is...

Speaker 10 Rebounded in a great way.

Speaker 72 Her mom's doing great. She looks great.

Speaker 48 She seems great.

Speaker 44 So her mom completely rebounded. She's got her shit together and just never

Speaker 44 tried to get in touch with her daughter.

Speaker 64 Right. So the mom's also a horrible person.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Way worse.

Speaker 76 All right.

Speaker 82 So obviously we had an opinion about this movie, but there are other people out there who had a different opinion.

Speaker 25 It is now time for second opinions.

Speaker 25 These are five-star reviews of the film Glitter

Speaker 43 from Amazon.

Speaker 52 And

Speaker 52 this one was written.

Speaker 79 The title is called Stellar.

Speaker 62 Glitter Shines Brightly.

Speaker 53 Did half of the negative reviewers of this film even see the same film as I did?

Speaker 24 I saw Glitter starring Mariah Carey and Max Beasley.

Speaker 90 Is there another film by the same title that I don't know about?

Speaker 66 People, it's not as bad as you think.

Speaker 35 It's actually good.

Speaker 37 Personally, I think Glitter will do better with a DVD release because it should have gone straight to DVD.

Speaker 3 But all in all, an excellent and entertaining movie.

Speaker 88 Even the plot and dialogue are not bad.

Speaker 30 Five stars.

Speaker 12 This one is written by Gletta Richardson, and she titles it Sunshine.

Speaker 57 And now, now, sometimes when you read Amazon reviews, they are not in the best English.

Speaker 83 So bear with me.

Speaker 31 Every day I had this movie on VHS, I watched it so much it stopped working.

Speaker 25 So I'm glad I don't have to worry about this DVD not working.

Speaker 39 That's why I found it.

Speaker 27 I had to hurry and purchase it.

Speaker 10 Now I'm happy.

Speaker 92 Five stars.

Speaker 14 This one is called You'll Laugh.

Speaker 8 for that one.

Speaker 52 This one is called You'll Laugh, You'll Cry, You'll Cheer.

Speaker 100 Cheer.

Speaker 86 If it weren't for Moulin Rouge, this could be the greatest musical of all time.

Speaker 25 It's not even technically a musical.

Speaker 49 There's barely singing in this movie.

Speaker 25 I think people have it all wrong when it comes to glitter.

Speaker 36 It's a fantastic movie and a gritty drama about a biracial singer who climbs to the top.

Speaker 38 Mariah isn't as good of an actress as Nicole Kidman, but she's getting there.

Speaker 3 Guys, I wrote this one.

Speaker 64 It is true. I wrote this one.

Speaker 44 I thought this sounded like you.

Speaker 24 It also has Eric Benet, who used to be married to Hallie Berry, who is the world's most talented actress.

Speaker 26 Wait,

Speaker 80 that part doesn't make sense regarding glitter.

Speaker 25 Don't listen to the dumb haters who trash this movie.

Speaker 35 They're a bunch of snot-nosed 15-year-olds who never even watched the DVD, but spent hours listening to Limp Biscuit.

Speaker 22 Yuck.

Speaker 27 Anyhow, this movie's a masterpiece.

Speaker 17 Trust me.

Speaker 44 That is my favorite movie review of all time.

Speaker 25 And this one, I'm putting it in just because I don't understand it.

Speaker 14 This is by Mr. E.S.M.

Speaker 70 Moshiah.

Speaker 20 This movie deserves five stars as it's one of the best movies I've ever seen.

Speaker 32 I really think all the people should wake up.

Speaker 35 I mean, of all the modern technologies, people are taking it for granted.

Speaker 107 If this movie came out 10 years ago, it would have won an Oscar.

Speaker 79 10 years ago? What?

Speaker 49 Yeah, so it's... modern technologies?

Speaker 28 I don't know what the modern technologies rant in the middle was.

Speaker 42 What?

Speaker 25 What?

Speaker 47 What movie won Best Oscar 10 years ago? Someone should tell us that.

Speaker 63 Yeah,

Speaker 59 we should Google.

Speaker 52 Anyone call your phone and Google what won in 91.

Speaker 10 All right, so any final thoughts, guys?

Speaker 104 Anything that we didn't cover?

Speaker 93 What was it?

Speaker 60 Silence of the Lambs.

Speaker 42 Silence of the Lambs. That would have been a tough year.

Speaker 12 Tough category.

Speaker 44 And then what won in 2001?

Speaker 75 What yeah, what won in 2001?

Speaker 107 Or 2002, it should be.

Speaker 103 Beautiful minds. That was a tough one.
That was a tough year.

Speaker 65 The winner is

Speaker 64 beautiful minds.

Speaker 44 I would recommend this.

Speaker 60 Oh, yes.

Speaker 44 This is a good one to watch.

Speaker 62 100%.

Speaker 83 Super fun to watch.

Speaker 70 And like I said, get that DVD and watch that commentary track.

Speaker 88 I'm going to.

Speaker 95 The director has no conception of what he has done

Speaker 61 except for create a masterpiece.

Speaker 44 Yeah. Well, usually they do commentary before the movie is actually released.
So he probably did it.

Speaker 44 Yeah. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 20 That is extremely the case from Justin to Kelly.

Speaker 103 They recorded it right after they rap, and they are consistently talking about, oh, my God, when people see this, they're going to go nuts.

Speaker 42 They're going to love, they're going to love this.

Speaker 76 Oh, my God.

Speaker 23 They're reveling in the gigantic success, the grease-like success.

Speaker 72 Anyone that likes their own work in general is just such an asshole. So it's just, I don't actually feel that bad.

Speaker 103 It is, I think the director should have said at the end, and you're welcome.

Speaker 88 Yeah.

Speaker 29 He did create a masterpiece of sorts.

Speaker 19 So you would recommend watching it, right?

Speaker 72 Of course, of course.

Speaker 88 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 I definitely would watch this movie over and over again.
