[Music]
and this
is pop chat taylor hussain it is time to
drop something
anything in the group chat i'd like to
hear something that you're watching or
reading or listening to something that
you're like i'm into this and i think
it should be shared with the rest of the
world because it's nice it doesn't you
know what
whatever strikes your fantasy to share
this morning hussein what would you like
to drop in the group chat today uh
oh my god like not something that's nice
um it doesn't have to be nice if you
don't want a documentary that's nice but
you know
yeah i mean okay look i'm gonna drop
something that's like very obvious
because i've been very
like my my uh consumption taste has been
very obvious for the past kind of months
um i just finished watching the undoing
on hbo
um i i i have like some contentions with
it
uh i think that like you know there
could have been uh
you know there were like some
interesting lines in that show that
didn't get followed through
but i think for like it was genuinely
quite a good and fun series to watch and
it was like definitely
in terms of like the kind of short-lived
or the short series thrillers like i
think that it was definitely
one of the most entertaining and i don't
usually kind of like binge watch shows
but i did binge watch that over two days
um which might be like indicative of uh
both the fact that like you know uh
sometimes you just need kind you
sometimes you need like an over-the-top
uh drama to like see yourself through to
the end of the year
um but yeah i think like nicole kidman's
great in it hugh grant is really good in
it as well
um yeah i would i would definitely watch
the undoing that's that's the thing that
i'm dropping him what's uh what's great
about the undoing is that
in the show it was dropped after
literally the first episode kevin
dropped it
and then i didn't watch it then i was
like oh man i better you know
because the election happened and now
you're dropping it after the series has
ended i'm like
this is two times that the ending has
been dropped in this group chat so
i better i better get on it um taylor
what would you like to drop
i would like to drop how to with john
wilson
on hbo um
familiar with that show i've heard of i
don't know if you've watched it but
um it's basic it is so
good it is like the only thing that's
made me not want to
just curl up in a ballet this year it's
this really wholesome show of this guy
john wilson
um kind of going around and it's it's
hard to describe it's like
it's it reminds me a lot of nathan for
you and i think nathan fielder
like executive produced it um it's very
similar but but not like
in the same funny way it's more
heartwarming and it's all these amazing
scenes of new york and um i'm from new
york and so i
you know it's just close to my heart i
love it it's just it's just such a good
escape from reality
lovely i will i will get on it um the
thing i'd like to drop in the group chat
today is a podcast it's an episode of
screen drafts um and the good folks at
screen drafts what they do is like they
just gather
um every every week i guess and they
uh each person each panelist goes has a
has a go and they pick um a movie in a
category and they draft it to their team
uh just like kind of like a regular
sports strapper with with movies
um so say for example we were playing
like a matthew mcconaughey movie draft
and
i would like immediately draft the wolf
of wall street because he's not central
to it but he's such a he's got such a
good role in it and then
you know you might draft something else
but uh this past week
they did a super draft of all 22 pixar
movies
um and i saw i saw the episode floating
around
on twitter and i was like oh like maybe
i'll check this out later
and i went to download it just to save
it for the weekend
and i saw that it was five hours
and i lost my no it was six hours six
hours and ten minutes and i lost my mind
i was like
there's no way i'm listening to a six
hour podcast
and i regret to inform you that i'm now
on hour four and i'm gonna make it all
the way to the end
and i'm just like wow i'm so hooked like
i'm so interested
in everything that they're doing because
i didn't realize that like these movies
are so
emotional to me um like of course like
some like i have my favorites list but
all the other ones like have a lot of
merits they really get into
the emotionality of these pixar movies
um
and uh like my favorite pixar movie is
is coco and i'm not gonna tell you where
ranked um in the draft but i just love
coco so much
so screen drafts pixar super draft if
you have six hours and ten minutes to
kill
uh by all means you should do it and if
you don't like most people you should
maybe do it over like a few days
it's it's also fine to do that because
it was great i know i watched it on an
airplane and i cried
i so coco is like my go-to um coco is my
go-to
like cry movie like when i'm like i need
a good cry
i'm just gonna put this on and for 90
minutes i'm just gonna just weep and
it's gonna be fine and that's it
okay uh thank you so much folks for uh
for for joining me today
thank you thanks for having me been a
pleasure thank you to my panelists
taylor lorenz and hussein kaspani for
joining me today on popchat
the show where we try to slow it down
and make sense of the cultural drama
blowing up the internet
i will see you again next week
