"For going on really two seasons in the NWSL and really carrying into the U.S. picture here. So, you know, I think undeniably, especially with how important wingers are in this system, she's the most important player for them right now. Jeff, what's the biggest change you've seen in Mallory from that Olympic era, the Olympic moment of not getting called in until now? Yeah, you know, I think she's been really introspective. I mean, look, this is a player who was a teenager when she started. She came in with a lot of pressure. I mean, it was four years ago or so now that I think every media outlet that we could imagine had sort of the think piece on this being Mallory pew's time to break out and shine and it came with a lot of pressure and she still relatively very young player and she's matured quite a bit. I would say since that Olympics, even in those that year or so before that, she's talked about it. I've talked about it with her about she had a couple of trades within the NWSL that sort of opened her eyes and I think she's sort of processed all of these things that you could look at and say maybe that was a negative or you could let fester and become a negative if you're a player and she kind of looked within herself and said, you know what? I need to look forward. And I think as simple as that might sound and you know her, I mean sometimes the mental aspect of that, you just got to get that right and get out of your own way sometimes and I think she's talked about quite a bit that she's been able to do that, not let herself get dragged down by perhaps some negative news in the moment and look forward and really the past two years she's been on a tear. Absolute task she's absolutely figured it out. The question now I have for you let's shift into the midfield is has lacto figured out the midfield. So, I mean, I think he's had it figured out in his mind, right? I mean, Andy Sullivan, Lindsey Iran, rose lavelle. That's been the trio for most of the past year, even in this transition. It's been clear that that's what we're looking at, especially with the unfortunate injury to Katarina macario, who should be back soon and trying to figure her out in the ten and last year in spring. So I mean, I think the starting midfield core, he has known what I think we learned in the she believes cup, at least a little bit more, is about his depth. I think Ashley Sanchez in particular Roosevelt missed the first two games with a slight injury and we saw, you know, Ashley Sanchez, I think did pretty well in that number ten role. We saw her in New Zealand as well when Roosevelt dropped deeper. You know, I think we saw there a player who certainly lavelle is the starter there, right? But you're going to need some rotation, you're going to need to rest some players at times when you can or hopefully you can at a World Cup. And I think we saw from Sanchez in particular that she is up for the moment, whatever that moment might be when that time comes. I think we saw a little bit more of Christie mues first time starting in about a year over a year now. And a player who, you know, you look at the she believes cup and if you're a player who's not getting minutes now with only one international window to come before the World Cup roster is named, you're probably worried about where you stand. And we hadn't seen a lot of Christian U.S. and then we saw her in multiple rules at this tournament. So I think perhaps an indication too of how black going to seize her as a depth player in the midfield. So I think we learn more from this tournament, maybe about the reserves and the depth and certainly we'll see roster rotation at the World Cup than we did about the starting trio because I think we knew who that was. Absolutely. Let's talk about a little bit more of a change. A proposed change in calendar for the NWSL from fall to spring. What can you tell us about this? Yeah, so I've been reporting on this for a few weeks. I mean, look, it's early stages. It is an idea that's on the table. And I think the key, the key thing to figure out here, the key thing to say is in the past, I think people would dismiss this. And I know we've got some MLS news already about some weather problems at the start of the season here, right? So people are rightfully pointing out that there are plenty of markets where the weather is bad. But what I know from reporting right now is that this is an idea that is being taken seriously in a way that it was not previously. And the NWSL, which we've talked about on this show a few weeks ago, needs to find solutions to a serious calendar problem that isn't going away. And they finally sort of started to realize that in a way that they've got to look at a fall to spring idea at the very minimum. What could this look like? What could it be as a proposal? And they have to take that seriously because one FIFA's calendar is based on Europe. That's not going away. FIFA's calendar is getting more crowded. And we're about to have a second division women's league in the U.S. that runs on a fall to spring calendar so there might be a bit of a template there. Look, I don't know if this gets across the line if it gets anywhere close to that, but it's something that is in the conversation which right now is heating up and by summer or so there's going to need to be some kind of a solution for the long term of what this NWSL calendar is going to look like. Hey, Jeff, before I let you go, I have to ask, you going back to the she believes cup. Has blocko under ansky has blocked on danowski under delivered with this U.S. women's national team heading into this World Cup. So I'm probably going to be in the minority here, I think from a lot of folks that I've seen talking about this. Look, my answer to that is no, because if you look at what he was tasked with, and of course, the World Cup is going to tell us everything, right? I mean, at the end of the day, you have to get results there and the task there is significant a third straight World Cup title for the U.S., but we've got to, when the value in this, like you've got to rewind this three and a half years and look at why was he brought in and what was he brought in for, right?

"Is always good to play. I think that there's really good teams, some of the top teams in the world, so it's always a good test for us and it's a good experience to have. And especially before World Cup, I think that having these games and playing against different teams and different styles is really beneficial. It is a very good tournament and I don't think we're going to talk a lot about the title. We're actually going to talk a lot about the play. And the details and we're going to use the use this games in preparation to prepare furthermore for the World Cup. So that's what is good about this. It's not necessarily the title. Obviously, we enjoy winning. We enjoy winning. The title, but the outcome of this game is what is more important for us. The whole time, throughout the tournament, while we were in camp, we're talking about it's not about it's not just about this tournament. It's about preparation for the World Cup.

Certainly no leaving her off the World Cup roster. Right now, 6 games, 6 goals. Is she the most important player for vodka on danowski? Yeah, I mean, I think that's undeniable at the moment, right? This is a team that I think we saw in the she believes cup at times, you know, and this is true of any team that's trying to win a World Cup. You have to grind a little bit against other top ten opponents and you need a player to come through in 2019 that was Megan Rapinoe at the World Cup, obviously. And I think you look at Swanson, the form that she's in, we're talking about the immediate here, the 6 game streak and we're in a World Cup year now, the world's starting to notice. She's been

The U.S. women's national team playing Brazil will jump ahead to the 40 8 minute injury time in the first half Mallory Swanson that rebound lands on number 13 Alex Morgan. Yes. Do whatever you want. Just don't let her come inside to her left foot. Don't let her have a shot from distance. Don't let her get you one of me one. This was beautifully taken a little half bounce there, but look at the curler, no chance for the gold bad angle is just beautiful. The great goal by the great Alex Morgan, 60 third minute rose lavelle, assisting mullery Swanson, who is on a strict meme. She's on fire. And Fuego. Roosevelt just beautiful night and sister. Beautiful ball in, the reception is good, sets her up. Calmly taken. I believe this is 6 straight for her insane production. We go to the 90th minute, that's a good cross. That's an even better header put on the Buddha Nina. Ludmilla with a header two to one, it was not going to be enough. It will be a win for the U.S. women's national team with that win. They're securing the she believes cup the World Cup is just around the corner. Good prep games for the team hurt. Great prep games that Brazil game a little bit trickier than what we just showed Brazil all over. I'm starting the second half, but they pulled it out. All right, that was the action from the Toyota stadium to the Wang wing.

"This firm that was contracted to conduct a search for outsourced their sporting director and then a coach. For him to say, hey, let's not waste each other's time. To me, when he says I'd rather be the head coach slash sporting director of sporting Kansas City over the U.S. men's national U.S. soccer, wow, that is damning. That tells you a lot, so it's nothing for Peter Burmese, but it's everything for U.S. soccer. Yeah. If they can't even get them out of bed, if sports ology. Sports ology. This firm who does. Searches for NBA teams and a few other in this morning land keep it. They can't get a viable candidate to even interview this is everything. Has to be everything. Because it's one thing to listen to what they have to offer, take some time, analyze, put in perspective, evaluate what's good for you was not good for you. And then make a decision. That's the way an interviewing process works. In every single field, not only finding a manager, a coach, or a general manager, but the fact, and I'm not criticizing Peter meets in any way, completely the opposite. I absolutely respect him for doing this, but the fact that he said, now I'm good. That's a pretty much what happened. He said that it doesn't matter. I'm good. Eventually we will have to know. Is it a personal decision? Because he loves his life the way it is right now, as you said, don't want to move to a different city. Maybe the money's not good enough? Or is it a professional decision? And if it is a professional decision, then it is highly concerning that someone, as respected, as knowledgeable, as great as Peter Burmese has been for soccer in this country did not even take the interview. If I can elaborate on your professional decision where I think is a very good point, you just brought up. That would be even scarier. If he just says 100%, I don't even want to step foot in here. I don't believe in what's going on here. I don't think it's going in the right direction. I don't want to be part of it. That is something else. Yeah, Peter Burmese is no, it's not new to this business. No. And he knows a lot. So probably he asked a couple of questions, talk to a couple of people, probably found out something that he suspected and said, nah, or the reality is he's the longest tenured coach in Major League Soccer and he's got a very good thing going on right now with sporting Kansas City and he enjoys his life and he doesn't want to uproot his family. Whatever the case may be, it's not worth it to him to align himself with U.S. soccer at the moment. But regardless, it is surprising that he made that decision so fast. And again, didn't even take the interview. Man, this is an I thought Mexican soccer was a big telenovela guys. Why guys? We took our interview at the goal cast. That's so awesome.

"Fact that Carlos vela staying through the fearless leader, I know he's not going to score the same amount of goals or give the same amount of cysts. LAFC will play Orlando city. I already talked about martino geder Ramirez another young Argentinian player that will be very, very productive. I believe Orlando has the weapons, the attack good enough to make it all the way. Back line, still a big question mark. But I'm sold on LA at sea project and the way they build the team. Yes, they are going to suffer without chicharron. Gareth Bale was, he was good whenever he needed to be good. But chicharron was very, very consistent. I think they're going to miss him. Picked it up towards the end of the season. What I will say on Orlando is very interesting because it's Orlando open cup champion versus your previous MLS cup champion, so interesting there. I'm not sold on Osaka to win a title, like an important title, but I do think he builds a very good model. All right, those are our predictions for next season, starting this weekend before we move on. On the show on Monday, we presented from the athletic and interview they had with Phil Neville inter Miami's manager. Some quotes regarding the league, his perception after not knowing exactly that playoff format turns out inter Miami band the athletic from the immediate media session they held after those comments were published. What do you make of it? Let me tell you how just weak it makes Major League Soccer look. Forget about enter Miami. That makes them look incredibly weak, but Major League Soccer. And it puts a lot of friends and colleagues that I have who now work at Apple or Major League Soccer because they're paid by Major League Soccer in a very precarious position. It threatens a credibility. The league needs to take action because what you're trying to say here, if you don't take action, you're on board with censorship of the media. And it's very important that the league is covered in a very fair and valid way. And by the way, Phil Neville didn't say anything wrong. In fact, the article in the athletic made me think he was praising the league and did he liked being in the league and he wanted to see the league continue to grow and succeed, but to do this gives everybody the outside world the impression that this is still amateur hour. The most important thing everything feel never said was on the record. Every single word was on the record and a club when a media outlet publishes anything that was said on the record. You have zero zero right to criticize those media members. They did their job. They were actually promoting the league, not them, Phil never was. So yeah, it's a disgraceful act, and they shoot corrected. As soon as possible. I was told to say talking about this graceful but I'm not going to say it because he barely leaves nowadays.

Yeah, he's a great goalkeeper. I'm going to go with a very familiar name as well and someone who it wouldn't be the first time that has been linked to a move to the European club and that is Jose sifuentes from LAFC. We already stated how they're great at scouting young players. This would be his fourth season with LAC three outstanding season so far. Played in the World Cup 23 years old and when you are a player that was developed the way he did becoming crucial for LAFC, he can do everything. He scores, he assists, he can dribble, he plays box to box, I think is just matter of time until Jose Fuentes makes his way to Europe out of major leagues. I don't think I'm the only one in this boat, but I'm surprised he's still here. Yeah, the word was this off season. He was an he already had a couple of opportunities. So I'm with you.

"And I did next with us here on football America's MaaS, great to have you with the show. Yeah, thanks for having me. So what do you do in the off season? How do you spend the time? Well, this off season I was pretty much just rehabbing my Achilles, but other off seasons I like to travel, spend times with the family. Tell us about the Achilles. Were you at? Yeah, I'm doing good. I'm feeling really good, really fit, healthy. The strengths back. So I'm excited to get out there. You know, I've been there with that lengthy layoff of an injury, a knee injury. Months and months of rehab, and I wasn't an off season. You were an integral part of the U.S. men's national team. You helped them get to the World Cup. What was it like for you? One watching them playing guitar and two kind of seeing guys that maybe weren't in the picture starting. Yeah, I mean, it was definitely a tough pill to swallow at some points. But I think it's one of those things that, you know, it happened, you gotta just recognize that fact that you can't change it now. So you just gotta take what you can from it, and that's definitely a type of fire that's burning. You know, burning in with me and I'm excited to use it as motivation. So we see a lot of injuries in soccer, but I feel like a lot of them are knee injuries. You don't see it as many Achilles, but anytime somebody does an Achilles, you hear not horror stories, but you hear of just how tough it is, how it's not an ACL. It's not a broken leg. It's something different. What is it about the Achilles that's so tough for somebody that's never been through it? I think it's just all long-term injuries can be tough. I don't know whether it's as tough or as easy, you know, as an ACL or something like this, but for me personally, it was just a matter of taking it day by day. That's all I could do. But I had trust in my athletic trainers at Atlanta United and, you know, my friends and family were a good support group for me. So I try to stay positive and I thought I did stay positive for pretty much the whole time. That I was hurt and now the fact that I'm actually slowly getting back training, you know, seeing the guys every day during preseason. I think that just kind of sparked me to, you know, finally take that next step forward. You've got the green light. You've pretty much been working out for like 8 plus months. How do you feel? Now I feel good, I feel like this was a type of period in my career where I got to work out my lower bodies, especially rehabbing, you know, lower body muscles where I haven't in my whole career.

So I shoot feel excited that someone is going to hold that position a new name, but the problem is, they're already a new de facto precedent of the Mexican soccer federation. And that is Alejandro diori. He's now the main in charge. Oh, I think he has foreign than president. That's what I'm saying de facto, right? He has all the power and and presenting this argument for everyone who probably have our new to the dynamics of the Mexican soccer federation usually was one person in charge of everything. One decision maker, the owner of televisa, Emilio escara, and the de facto owner of the Mexican national team. But now, he's not as hands on as he was. And he has delegated now. The power is with Alejandro. And maybe on the researchers realized this, but the moment in Alejandro was in charge of this, how do you call council of owners? Comedian of owners, that's when yonda Luisa should have realized that he was no longer going to be the Mexican stock federation president. You could also realize that it doesn't matter if it's him or if somebody else you are a puppet to these owners, so that this puppet out, the next puppet in.

And he was actually a good time for him to go. Now, after he announced that he was not going to run for reelection. Correct. One of the most powerful names in Mexican soccer actually in Mexican business. He is the owner of the second largest media network in Mexico, owner of muscle clan, owner of Puerto he doesn't want you to know that he also. He went on a, it was not a rant, but he went on Twitter. He went on Twitter, and he's good at Twitter. He's active. And he came with this list of proposals initiatives. Initiatives for the betterment of Mexican soccer. And I know you're very interested in talking about a fee of those proposals. Touched on Ricardo Salinas and his importance to Mexican football, you should also know is important to Mexico in general. It's a third richest person in Mexico. So when he said something, it's not just an idea. It carries a lot of weight. And he's also given us an insight track to what he wants.

The Luisa did not attend the press conference where they go coca was announced and introduced as Mexico's new manager and clearly felt his input was not as valuable as it once was.

"There's kind of this ditsy thelma who is not as world wise and kind of like yeah. Just wanna have fun. I'm just going to go do what i wanna do. And then there's the we's who is much more like i've seen seen some and trying to guide them through this journey of getting away from prison but then like they make a switch. They make a really interesting. I don't have switches the right word but they take care of each other. Like bell realized that she needs to do something because wease so upset so she is like okay. I'll take control of the situation. Whereas louisa big control up until that point which To your point i think it could have been a kind of caddy women against each other movie but it is very much like they fight but then they help each other like they support each other and they stick with each other Yeah one of the interesting coats. I read and i think we've talked about this a lot. Is i just read this quote. Where together they become a quote. Third thing where there's thelma there's the weeds but together they become something else where they're kind of transcending there. The film was life being knowing her husband's cheating on her and is so disrespectful to her and louise's life of like you know i'm in this waitress mode. I could be all these other things and they come together. And i mean thelma says it all all kinds of times movie. Where she's like. I think i'm cut out for. I made for this and i just connected with that so much because i felt that with people. I felt that with you or like right together with this woman with this friend. I feel like. I'm coming into my own like barry helping me realize my potential in what i can do right. I mean there's definitely where the hype woman the person behind you who encourages you to be the better. Of course this is not necessarily the better for say but hopefully like you have those people in your background being able to encourage you to know that you can stand on your own end or you can step forward into this world of so uncertainty you indoor standing up for yourself in general like that whole level of having that person in your life that sees when you need to be pushed and that sees when you need to be supported like there's those those things you need to be there and yeah. I don't think talk about enough because for the longest time especially in the nineties when we looked at like the headers and that was not the context of the movies. It was all like all on your own. Get what you can move on in. you know. this was not it. This is not that this was a i was protecting you. I was defending. You now have gone to this point and the truth of the matter is like we know women are not believed and in the nineties even less so and just for the mere sake of saying i took a drink. I went outside with him voluntarily. Met enough that you're sliding guilty right. Which is exactly that indication and understand that you can't trust the system because they don't believe women so in itself like yeah. This is exactly what happens. And then when you push someone to the edge what happens and then if you have some line hopefully they will have your back and what does that. Look like yeah. It's hard because washing it. You're like this. Is you know the outcome. The ultimate outcome minded. Been a great thing but you feel like the paid connected so strongly with each other and he stuck with each other. Something about is very movie. I mean jean davis character. Selma does say. I've had the best time and i feel like the first time on living. Yeah this is. I thought about talking about this in this episode. I think it's too big of a topic for now but it kind of goes back to our platonic marriage thing that just kind of thinking about. Why does this idea in my group at least of a compound of women essentially resonate so much and it feels like what. I'm watching that movie. This is kind of it is like own hashtag not all men but essentially were still living in a patriarchal system. Were i know if i were to marry even if it was someone i loved. I don't trust myself. Because i've been raised in the system not to not grow resentful and take more burden than i should take on because they feel like that's expected of me and the dude and relationship has been raised in the same patriarchal system and has different expectations. And that's not saying like it's either of our faults necessarily but that's what we were raised in right and communication is great. But i do think at a certain point. It's hard to communicate your own experience. Right somebody who hasn't experienced it So when i watched it i was like this is the vibe. I'm talking about the compound. And yeah i do think i like that. There's moments where they're angry with each other and frustration with each other but they kind of give each other space and they don't even if there were moments where they kind of have barbs at each other they don't really blame each other ultimately like they'd stick with each other and i think that's a that's a really beautiful representation of it because it's hard not to even if you're the victim or the survivor not to have those thoughts of like blame and i like that they have the who's but then kind of give space and dinner like no by i was running was that you were sticking together. And then i do like they add. There's this real shift in their characters especially film. I think who goes from being what she calls like. Sedate or louise call today. What you settle for urged the quote to really. I'm gonna rob this place to stick this in the back of the trunk iranian Sticking with you and she says a lot of lines that are really interesting. I can't go back and i feel awake. All these things and then this was filmed in utah. Which i just say. Because i did a similar road trip with my friend through utah and it was. It was equally like really were. Yeah i wasn't on the run from the law though we did a But yeah it was just like a really beautiful experienced to be in in that that space with for me and other just really close female friends and then i did wanna point out there. Those moments louise throwing away. Her lipstick trading her jewelry. I draw hat like these items of women entity that are if you're living a life on the run runner ultimately worthless or kind of like. What good does this do me right. Yeah and also. Interestingly the two main stars with thirty five and forty five when they are a cast which has been know in hollywood. You know thirty. Two's like the.

Rebecca nicholson over at the guardian in may twenty twenty one this year when the film was released in nineteen ninety-one. It unleashed a wave of controversy. That seemed to take its cast and crew by surprise. Gena davis and susan sarandon appeared on the cover of time magazine under the cover line. Why emma and louise strikes a nerve. The particular nerve that it struck was much debated. Was it as some critics felt thoughtlessly violent movie to women committing terrible crimes in the name of empowerment. And by the way. Where are these table crimes. They didn't murder one person. They did put a person in a trunk. Everybody else evenly yup. Okay yeah. I got a nuts about this about it being on with the article where they quote acting like men under the cover of feminism or was it a fact sandri unfair to men because it portrayed all of his mel characters as awful. Never mind that. They're not all awful is by the way a pre hashtag not all men. Yes we know that one so well where they role models was a feminist parable was that ending one of the few that has truly earned the overused iconic perfect or a cop out in the last journey at two thousand two documentary about the making of thelma and louise serandon addressed all the noise and said films at the best. Should challenge your perspective. This is at its best. Yeah and that's that's a great quote and interestingly because a lot of people are writing about this movie right now. because it's the thirtieth anniversary. Some people have said this film wouldn't even get made today and that women in fact have been losing ground when it comes to representation in entertainment and we've gone over those numbers on the show so a lot of articles to use those numbers to be like. Yeah look at how we've lost ground in fact or how they're going down. But despite the controversy the film was successful both commercially and critically it was nominated for six academy awards. I believe it's so last movie to have to actresses nominated for the best actress. Roll like the main actress from one. Movie gena davis and susan sarandon and it won for best original screenplay and when it when corrie accepted the oscar. She said for everybody that wanted to see a happy ending. For thelma and louise. This is it and yeah just as a reminder. She is one of the only few women who has won this award. And the film had obviously a cultural impact influencing them in thought and other media from recent movies to taylor swift to even the simpsons in two thousand sixteen. The us library of congress chose to preserve it in the national film registry. Yes and yes after. This movie came out. There're all these predictions that it was the catalyst for so many great movies about women and don't forget nine hundred ninety two which was the year after this movie came out was predicted to be the year of the woman but that didn't happen for the movies twentieth anniversary. In two thousand eleven rain elicits called it. The quote last great film about women and for the thirtieth anniversary gena davis said. I'm thinking hot dog. Let's sit back and wait for all this magic. Change to happen or still waiting. It really did not happen. It seems like every five years or so. There's another movie starring women. That's a huge hit. People say well now certainly everything is going to change. And it really hasn't and gena davis started organization called the gina davis institute on gender and media all about representation in media in part because of this and she's spoken about how she felt about this after. This movie came out where like. Oh i really need to think about how. This role is perceived and what roles. I'm taking susan. Serandon said i completely underestimated that. We were backing into territory held by white heterosexual males. They got offended and accused as of glorifying murder and suicide and all kinds of things. It didn't seem like a big deal. It seems like it was unusual that there would be a woman that you could be friends with in a film which we've talked about a lot right right and even for a split second. You still had the stereotype of women pinned against the women and it could've taken a really bad turn good script and made this horribly done and i think part of that would have been having even though a sweet like having one being the innocent one and the other one being the bad one as in kinda was trying to go down that route and they did a better job. Nah nah we're in this together in stories and of course we don't wanna highlight violence nor do we want to highlight suicide in any way but what does movie did is a completely different conversation about how these women were pushed over the edge but everyday occurrences the so familiar by all of us who has grown up female. We know these experiences the truck driver. Yeah i remember. I had experienced trying to drive away real quickly. Because of the things they were Insinuating towards me on the road versus a man in buying you. A drink gives me entitlement to do this. And that and this we know these people we've seen these people. Yeah oh absolutely. And that's one of the interesting things. I find about this movie which a lot of people have written about is like from know nineteen ninety one. And how can we be watching it in twenty twenty one and we're like. Oh gosh yes. They connect to all of this but also there is a really interesting dynamic in my opinion. And we're going to talk about this in a minute more. But where.

"Them to turn themselves in. so thelma tells the we's that she can turn herself in if if louise to go back. And she has jamie your her boyfriend waiting for her. But that thelma herself refuses to go back to her husband. She refuses to go back to real life. The we's argues that they are in this together. They're gonna do this together later. Thelma discusses what happened at the bar that set off the whole thing and asked if louise's response to it had to do with what happened in texas in. Louise is angry and demands thelma. Never talk about again what she had kind of already done previously. She's just been very close. Close lipped about this whole thing right. I do want to talk about with the one scene when the waitress is giving her statement and just absolutely no those ladies had nothing to do with it there too sweet a two nights one tip me really well. There's no way that they were boswell in just about how. This man's reputation was that he was sort of an and disaster by essentially with a whole. Like okay this is kind of telling harvey cocktails scared like okay. Yeah there's something a mess. Something had to have happened here. We go and then of course when the hair pulled over for speeding which is one of the funnier scenes. I thought they quickly realized they'll be caught. So thelma after the police officer tries to get louise identify her. Pull a gun on the trooper and forces him into the trunk of the police car. Which again she's doing some days like you're like weld. Am come into our own demanding like turn off the radio. Shoot the radio making little air holes for the police officer. She's been nice in the day on. Trunk you go. And as they continue their drive to mexico hilarious a truck driver makes rude sexual gestures them. They forced him to pull over after many racket and him being a dick demanding an apology from him at gunpoint which he decided that he's going to be a a real deck and just continue on even though they start asking which by the way. We've done this recently. Just for people to get empathy about think about your mother. Think about your your wife. Would you want this to happen to the people you love. And the fact that we have to even or anyone has to even suggest that for them to think about another woman as a human right but of course he didn't so they use a gun to blow up his entire rig and leave him stranded. Antique has hat which is hilarious. Yes not right. It's satisfying so the police soon. Catch up with them as they're passing near the edge of the grand canyon and film. Louise decide that in the face of spending their lives in prison that they keep going to almost address. They keep going the we's make sure that she's totally sure of this decision and it kiss hold hands the we's pushes down the accelerator and they fly over the edge and the image freeze frames car hovering in the air over the cliff. It's one of the most famous iconic imperative evenings of all time. Yes yes but apparently in the original ending at the last minute the weeds. Push thelma as the car. But serandon and davis fought against it and ultimately they got their way. Gena davis would later say. I earned my death which is interesting and also i read right before coming in to record this that the scene where thelma has sex with a brad pitt. Jd she was supposed to be naked. And they're supposed to be like you know boobs. And and gene davis. I don't see the point. And she went to susan serandon about an susan. Serandon like marched gotten said and so they put it in porting women right. But i wanted to because as i was researching this i just found so many really funny summaries of this movie so i wanted to know samantha if you had to t. l. d. r. This if you had to summarize this movie how would you describe it o. Two best friends pushed over the edge. Get their revenge and have their happy ending point. That's beautiful thing. I love I don't think i can do better than that. It's essentially add to your best friends. Discover the beauty of their friendship over all else and choose it over all else and writer dai rider. This is the enemy of writer. Die the beginning of writer die. Feel like you know. I need to look into it but i think this might mean but okay as we mentioned. There was a rod of controversy. When this movie. I came out and especially around. People say that it portrayed men in a negative light. Yeah there were all kinds of headlines like is violence would feminism is all about. this is toxic. Feminism people calling it a violent disturbing movie that it was degrading men all kinds of things like that that being said plenty of people praised it a lot of these people women but some in some have rightly pointed out that there were plenty of good male characters in the film but they weren't the main characters and were defined through their relationships with thelma. And the we's with women like how most women are defined by men and almost all movies ever all of them. Yeah or in the words of critic. Janet maslin after the film's release. Many detractors. were annoyed by quote. Something as simple as it is powerful the fact that the men in this story don't really matter which again is how women characters are it almost a majority of our movies right and i found this quote interesting. Corey said in two thousand and one bad guys get killed in every damn movie that gets made. That guy was the bad guy and he got killed. It was only because a woman did it that there was any controversy at all and i thought that was really interesting because i think she's on to something they're thinking about. Having movies we have about men getting revenge right and how we're like yeah kid and then in this movie apparently huge backlash of look at these violate women. They hate men. Oh my gosh.

Thelma and louise who decided to take a weekend trip to a mountain cabin to get away from their lives in small town. Arkansas where. Thelma is housewife married to a controlling loudly firmly abusive husband and louise as a waitress dating a musician. Who has never around off of the actor who plays Toba husband her ex. Yep from all of the Quentin tarantino movies. She recommended him. She was like. I say that as a positive. But we're talking about this a little more but his character wasn't like this likable. He seemed like the typical you. But at the same time he was still one of the more loyal. The it's interesting. I haven't thought about that and we're definitely going to get into it. Okay so thelma and louise stop at a bar on their way to their destination worth elma. Who's like so into this idea like i needed vacation. I wanna have fun. She dances with a very flirty stranger named harlem and later in the parking lot. Harlan kisses her and tries to take off her clothes her consent and when she resist he gets violent and attempts to rape her. The we's arrives with a gun and threatens to shoot him. He reluctantly releases thelma. As they're walking away he insults. Both of them says he should've raped thelma. Furious louis shoots and kills harlan and the pair flee the scene true yes also. I feel like i have a lot of behind. The scenes factual said like a so susan sarandon and made it clear. It was clear script as well that it was a very split-second decision on her character's part that it was like not premeditated but he just called her. This and it was like a lesson and it was just like final straw snaps which i find really interesting and acting is amazing this movie. Yeah okay so the pair go to a motel and they discuss what they should do about the situation and they discuss it on the car ride on the way. Thelma wants to go to the police. Louise disagrees thinking. No one will believe that. The man tried to rape thelma. No one will believe them. Especially after bar. Patrons saw thelma dancing and drinking with harlan. This man and that they would be charged with murder. Eventually they decide to go to mexico or at least to louise decides to go to mexico but she insists they do it without passing through texas so while on their way. They meet a handsome and often shirtless drifter jd. Played by brad pitt. And thelma quickly becomes smitten with him and persuades in begs lewis. Allow him to ride with them for a little. While louise contacts are boyfriend. You'd have to transfer her life savings to her but he surprised her by showing up and he proposes which she refuses. Because it's obvious that he's just scared that he's going to lose her right so therefore this is what he's doing must leaves with j. d. and finds out he's a thief who is breaking parole when the pair wake the following morning how they realized that. Jd who went to a whole thing about how he liked to rob people hasn't been all of louise's savings and is nowhere to be found. The leaving louise devastated and vilma incredibly guilty so she robs a convenience store with what she learned from. Jd she had to get a play by play on what he did. Edge decided. i know i'm going to do this. Yeah i mean that's so it's such a sweet inside seen especially if you know what happens. 'cause he's so happy because she got like good sex. I and you're like wait. He definitely robbed so. Fbi closes in on the following eyewitness accounts of their vehicle. They questioned the newly apprehended. Jd they questioned louise's boyfriend they'd tap the lineup films husband who hilariously and sadly enough to me. He's like she hangs up like now. There'd be tap because she knows right he wouldn't be nicer. The head investigator played by harvey. Keitel seems to understand their actions especially given the wheezes past. And it's kind of implied. I guess the story shifts but it's kind of important i. Louise was the mastermind buying the whole thing. And then it's like a weight almaz. The one stood up this place which is important to to the alternate ending or discuss later. But he is harvey guy tells. Character is unsuccessful in convincing.
