GAY LADY FIGHT CLUB for horny little weirdos
That's a two dollar sentence right there
Fun times! I hope you weren’t kidding about talking about D.E.B.S. soon-more fun times. 😊💜
"Horny little weirdos" yeah, that pretty much sums up middle and high school.
Wasn't Fight Club already pretty gay?
I just want to say, don't punch people in the face.
The face has a lot of hard surfaces that can break your hand. If you're punching hit soft areas where you're less likely to hurt yourself.
Use padded areas, like the heel of the hand, against hard surfaces.
Ayo Edebiri is such a breath of fresh air, it’s so nice to see a Black female lead in non-stereotypical roles with awkward personalities. We exist!!!
you should watch ‘insecure’ and ‘awkward black girl’ by issa rae!
I also recommend the series Betty! It’s queer, with an almost all-women cast, and there are several black leads who have very different personalities - awkward very much included. You won’t regret it I swear !!!
Yes I love her
@@mariannestrgzr9374such a great underrated show on HBO !!
Ikr shes just THAT GIRL!!!
“I really value when people use violence for me. It’s actually one of my love languages” is 100% something I would have said as a teenager, and I would have said it that genuinely too. I had some issues.
saaame lol
Oh my god same,
The more I see Nicholas Galitzine the more I've convinced myself that purple hearts was just to pay rent. 😆😆
fr, it was just the script i fear his acting has never been bad :/
Definitely
Honestly, same. I was trying to sus out his other movies bc of that one single part 😂
I liked Purple Hearts.
I haven't seen Purple Hearts, but he's freaking AMAZING in both Handsome Devil and Red, White & Royal Blue. (And this, too, obviously - the absolute polar opposite of his RWRB role.)
I read an article that Marshawn Lynch decided to play Mr G to atone for reacting negatively when his sister came out as a lesbian when they were teenagers. Although they've since patched things up, and he gave her away on her wedding day, she supported him taking on this role.
mentioned that in the vid!
Lynch has been acting since retiring and he is always a delight, like not just as a fan of his from football but his deadpan line delivery is legitimately hilarious.
He was also in season 3 of Westworld and was highly needed for the levity.
Oof watch the video next time
12:28 in the video
...gave her away? Like, as a present?
Hazel is best girl.
That aside, I just fucking love how goofy and zany this got by the end. More goofy comedies need to take a surprising turn into *even goofier* cartoon nonsense in the third act.
Agreed, Hazel was the MVP for the girls, along with Lynch for the guys. This was not a sex comedy, it turned into a movie for females made by females.
I’m so happy Ruby Cruz is getting her flowers as the sweet, put-upon Hazel. Especially after Disney canned Willow and effectively cheated her out of a star turn as Kit Tanthalos.
imagine amanda screaming, "YES QUEEN, SLAY!" at the top of her lungs had me dying on the ground
lmao i wanna like this but it has 420 likes so i’ll just comment
The guy in the cage never being explained was one of the best jokes. Like, I cracked up when I saw him and even more when my questions about him were never answered.
I'm totally on board with actually showing characters being shitty people, especially in a setting where they should be learning from their mistakes and becoming better. Also, anyone who things girls can't be as relentlessly, rabidly, atrociously as horny as guys has never spent a second around a high school theatre group. Seriously, the shit I heard.
Me too, and as a person who has the biggest theater kid energy, i agree 😂
I need Emma Seligman to direct a horror comedy with Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edibiri as the lead
im so glad Rachel came onto my radar last year with Bodies Bodies Bodies, one of my favorites
YES!
also they need havana rose liu in there too her chemistry with ayo is toooo good to waste
cornetto trilogy for lesbians
With Molly gordon too!
“These obscene teen comedies/coming of age stories are just this kind of right of passage and it’s great to see them finally being told from a lot of different angles. Because girls can be the horny little weirdos too!”
This is what I love about the show Sex Education. Such a broad range of representation done so very well.
Same. Very fun show
It is true next season gonne be their last season?
@@nyanneko20 yes
@@nyanneko20 Yes, season 4 (which came out yesterday) is the final season
Best girl Hazel! She is the glue that keeps the organization together. Appreciate your Hazels!
Yes!!! Hazel was the heart of the film and my favorite character
My sister actually out loud said “PJ NO!” When she did that ‘yeah hazel, lets do terrorism’ thing bc i. Also. Never understand sarcasm and often am midway thru doing something before my sister goes no!!! Thats not what i meant!!!
It was pretty funny 🤣 and we both of course legit cheered when complicated started playing
I personally lost my mind when Avril Lavigne's Complicated started playing. The whole soundtrack for the movie is perfect but using Complicated at that moment was just a masterpiece. Loved it so much
I genuinely teared up when they explained Mr G's actor took on the role to make up for not being supportive of his real life sister when she came out. That's so lovely 🥹
This movie was the first that I felt really seen as a gay person. When Brittany tells PJ she’s straight, that moment felt SO real in this batshit movie. I bought the digital copy as soon as I could and I’ve watched this a half a dozen times already.
Also great job with the sword, Amanda 😂
The humor got me good, especially the little details. The scene where a student goes through the cafeteria line to get their spoonful of slop followed by the football player with a fancy steak dish on his tray had me screaming
I loved the movie, it was so much fun! However, I couldn’t help but wonder why our leads were wasting so much time obsessing over cheerleaders when Hazel was RIGHT THERE! I’m gonna need a reboot of Some Kind of Wonderful with Hazel as Mary Stuart Masterson’s character and Eric Stolz’s character done by a girl who actually deserves her.
Hazel was the best person there!
When I first saw some kind of wonderful I thought Amanda was into Watts and that’s why she was jealous of Keith having a relationship with her not because she liked Keith. I want a some kind of wonderful remake that is gay.
Hazel's fantastic, but I also think it's entirely understandable why PJ and Josie are into Isabel and Brittany. They're both shown to be very likable throughout the movie. In the case PJ, since she ultimately ends up with Hazel, the way she's rejected by Brittany is very different from how a movie like this would've done it just a few years ago. She doesn't jerk away when PJ kisses her, but rather tells her that she's straight when PJ tries to kiss her again. She doesn't say anything to make PJ feel bad. You just know that a character like that would've had a homophobic response in a different movie.
Yeah if Hazel was in my vicinity I would be barking like a mad dog
OMG. I thought of Some Kind of Wonderful too!! Hazel def reminds me of Watts.
I really like Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edibiri as a comedy duo, so I’m glad to hear the movie turned out good. Looking forward to it!
As a lesbian from Seattle, Marshawn Lynch has always held a special place in my heart. He’s incredible. From Beast Mode to his obsession with Skittles to “I’m just here so I don’t get fined” and now Bottoms. He’s an absolute star and it’s so great to see him continue in his career like this.
SAME but from Olympia! 😆
this movie had me from the moment the lead jock came out and did that weird "oopsie" pose like the bully from cloudy with a chance of meatballs. and mr. g made me lose it when he said amelia earhart's not a hero bc there's a ton of guy pilots who didn't crash
I was unprepared for how crazy this movie was. I met two fellow lgbtq+ friends at my screening that are close to my age, which in my small retirement town in south Florida is a big deal, so I’ll be forever grateful to this movie for multiple reasons.
I went and saw the movie again and every time I looked at the background something hilarious was going on. I can’t wait to watch it again!
Naples?
I’ve seen it twice and loved it!! As a huge Ruby Cruz fan from Willow where she plays a lesbian Princess badass ⚔️, I loved seeing her onscreen again as Hazel. This movie is a blast. And I was dying with laughter at so many spots, especially the Avril needle drop moment. I’m an OG Avril fan and loved it! My cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing so much.
Amanda: "It's what you do with the sucking as a creator that matters."
Archer: "Phrasing!"
The use of Complicated by Avril Lavigne is the most perfect song usage in any film ever.
I loved this film. I’m so gay
Hazel did nothing wrong
The "You look like a little Dutch boy" joke, took me until the credits of the movie to understand, and it's honestly such a good joke 🤣
Wait can you explain the joke?
I feel like I understand it but I'm not sure now lol
I also am curious
@@LauM I answered above! :D
How did the people at the premiere not sing a long to Complicated? I was a little upset that they didn't play the whole song.
I saw bottoms yesterday with a friend of mine and we were both laughing our heads off all through it. It's got a lot of heart to it, and it shows.
Also can we please get more Ruby Cruz? She stole the show for me as Hazel.
Hazel did do decent. She was on his back clawing at his eyes, but I think she would've won if she started hammer punching his head. Too bad.
Also, paint-sniffing Amanda's step-dad actually seems pretty nice. Didn't she say he was trying to have board game night?
And, when Josie got with Isabel, my stomach flipped. The anxiety was crazy. She knew she was with Isabel on wrong terms! She tried to blame PJ when they got caught, but like you said, she was just as bad, just less aggressive than PJ.
as a millennial, i picked up on the early 200s silly teen movies vibes that they are parodying and i love it
I love Hazel!
Spoiler...
I wouldn't say I liked how PJ treated her and how easily she forgot her; however I think Hazel had feelings for PJ alone .
Both Rachel and Ayo are so good and funny.
Hazel was the mvp for sure!
Watched this today with my 19yo daughter, who had already seen it and loved it. Her friends had been telling her she was so much like one of the characters and as soon as Hazel came on screen, I said, “That’s who it is, isn’t it? They say you’re like Hazel. They’re right!” Hilarious movie, such lovable characters, and so much fun.
I was legit disappointed Jeff survived at the end 😂 him and the other main football guy did an impressive job of being just so very hatable
Ayo was also in Spiderverse. In addition to TMNT and Theatre Camp.
I watched this in theaters with my best friend (we’re both queer) and it was amazing! And don’t worry Amanda we are both teens and were rocking out to Avril.
I have never laughed harder at a movie than at BOTTOMS in the theater. I even gave myself a headache from laughing.
I'm disappointed that Talk To Me was barely a week at my theater when uninteresting flicks have stayed for almost months at a time. I want to hope they show this one.
That's so weird. How many screens does your theater have? Personally, this movie has done very well locally so that just seems odd. I can kind of understand if there are only like 10 screens with Barbie and Oppenheimer dominating during that time, but I always find that horror/thriller films do well at anytime of the year. Honestly side-eyeing the heck out of the buyer for that theater, or whom ever made the schedule.
@@madelion24 I live in a tiny town so there's only one screen.
@@tmntaddict That'll do it. Damn, sorry. yeah I got nothing after that bomb.
That tiny little Heathers joke in there made me laugh so much.
I am not a football person but Marshawn Lynch was funny af in the episode of Brooklyn 99 where he played himself
The Avril needle drop was amazing. I adored this movie.
Best use of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" in a movie EVER!!
(Also Ruby Cruz is amazing and deserves all the fame and fortune she could ever want.)
Also also, can we just appreciate the placement of the characters on the poster, in that the _token straight girl_ is the one who seems to have her hand on another girl's junk? Mad props to whoever came up with that idea.
I started belting out Complicated when the scene hit, you're so valid Amanda
I'm like the polar opposite of the target audience of this film, but I'm not ashamed to admit I cried like multiple times in this film, sometimes just from laughing.
i didn’t see the similarity until you put the side by side on 11:40 and i had to pause the video because i couldn’t stop laughing
We went with my husband to watch it after the trailer picked our interest when we watched Barbie a few weeks ago. We are not big fans of raunchy comedies, but this one felt different for some reason, and it was more than enjoyable. The fight scene made my eyes water because I was laughing so much and the delivering of the punch lines was amazing. While we didn't get out of the cinema with a heartful, life changing message, we were still giggling by the time we got back home and I count that as a good movie.
I hate to say that I was convinced that Amanda had a secret cousin or sister in the movie. Which honestly made the experience even funnier!
Saw it Labor Day. It was so funny and absurd and Hazel was probably my favorite. It was interesting getting a film today that touched on horrible stuff, took it way beyond "normal" and then somehow it came out funny. Like addressing S.A. "even the grey area" and then brushing it aside for P.J.'s selfish interest and motives.
Loved Ruby cruz in willow and really looking forward to this one
People don’t talk enough about DEBS! I never understood how it was always left off of compilations in decades past. I’m glad people are remembering it more this year.
wait how could anyone not be like jamming out but also sad during that montage! IT'S AVRIL FREAKING LAVIGNE'S COMPLICATED
This was such a fun watch. I went with one of my best queer friends to a locally owned theater and it was a blast. I laughed through the entire thing and it was cathartic in a way I can’t quite put my finger on.
Am I the only one who thought Miles Fowler's character was going to be revealed to have the hots for Nicholas Galitzine?
I really wanna watch this movie. Hazel is played by Ruby Cruz, who I first saw on the Willow series that Disney gutted. If you like playful fantasy in the style of Knights Tale or D&D, I recommend finding it somewhere 👀
By the way, if you are ever wanting a "smaller" film to be shown at your local theater it never hurts to either email the theater or to give a call and ask. Make sure your friends do the same. They need to be aware that there is, in fact, an audience for the indie/smaller film.
And if it's something that really couldn't sustain a release in your area, but you're very passionate about seeing it on the big screen go through the cooperate side of the theater. As the local theaters aren't the ones doing the negotiations with the distributors over hard-drive rentals. If that theater has private screenings available the corporate liaison will be able to put in a request to the distributor of the film if it's not already listed on their approved movie list. It's not always 100% going to work, but if you don't ask it's going to be 100% no.
As an aside, with the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes still on going with no end in sight, many studios will run out of "new" product to release. This means more re-releases of older films. You're going to see way more "anniversary" releases happening as well. So, requesting a smaller film that is a new release might actually have a higher chance to be released if requested.
Amanda, I loved when you mentioned how you would've loved for this movie like how you did for D.E.B.S back then.
For me, there was this nostalgic, yet unexpected feel to it all.
The ending didn't have to go as hard as it did. I was surprised the box office numbers are so low as the theater I went to was fairly packed. Hoping it picks up steam.
I saw Bottoms for my bday, i loved it! Hilarious! Hazel was my fav overall 😂
I had the entire theater to myself (Weekday) and I sang Complicated lmao
busted the fuck out of my ankle walking out of the theater at the end and i still want to shake amandas hand for letting me know this movie exists it was so fucking good guys
Finally got to watch this yesterday as it came to amazon prime in the UK and it did not dissapoint! I’m already on my second rewatch. Hazel is my favourite, she’s so adorable and kind of crazy😂
11:57 yes! This casting 30 somethings as teenagers. I basically used that trope to inspire my constume for one Halloween party in my 30s.....i wore a letterman jacket (no year on it) plus a huge neck gash and shirt soaked in fake blood....the title of my costume was "Generic horror flic victim: a 30 something playing a teenager" lol.
I totally went because of your rave review! I'm 43, my husband is 62. I thought he wasn't going to feel it all! We loved it! He told me he had such a great time. Thanks
Im absolutely heartbroken that this isnt getting a proper global release. I wouldve loved to go see it in the cinema with friends, it sounds so fun!
D.E.B.S is easily one of my favourite movies as well, I just get so happy when ever I watch
Heathers and American Pie had a baby, and it's called Bottoms! Saw Bottoms and Talk to Me after your reviews, LOVED both, thank you! Also, I made a friend at work when she overheard me mentioning your channel in the lunchroom! Amanda the Jedi, bringing people together!
Me and my best friend saw this opening night here in Ireland and we cant get enought of it. we're going to see it again and again, when the dvd is out im buying it
Of course I'm fully down with the Avril placement; but the big question is this: Did they set the big final battle to "Ballroom Blitz"? ("Another one bites the dust" would also be acceptable.)
emma is truly the one to watch for she knows how to do satire really well, bottoms is funny but also you can tell she put her entire soul and heart in it. i cant wait for her future projects!
Rented and watched Bottoms last night, then I couldn't resist immediately renting Shiva Baby as soon as it was over and watched that earlier today! Really loved both! Emma Seligman is such a fresh new voice in cinema!
Nicholas did such a amazing job in the movie
This man has range
He deserves to be famous
One of my favorite things about this movie is theres SO much going on in the background. A lot of funny shit and also things that come into play later. Love it
I’m super disappointed that you don’t know that guy from the second Craft movie - where he is amazing and I loved him so much.
Your festivals hype for this really got me excited and I'm pleased to say I had a blast watching this. Was DYING at several moments, especially since Josie's gay pastor monologue killed me.
I finally got around to watching Shiva Baby recently, and I loved it! It had such great representation. I really hope I find the time and money to see Bottoms in the theater.
I saw it last tuesday with my sister. We were cracking up so much during the movie
I just saw Bottoms and it was such a refreshing movie. This is why we need different povs and main characters in movies. I am so buying it when it comes out on dvd.
When I saw the movie in theatres, I immediately saw the mascot’s dingaling hanging out but no one else there seemed to react to it and even when I watched reaction videos to it, no one pointed it out (it’s not even censored which makes me wonder if they missed it even in editing lol). It’s so funny how there’s all the background jokes that aren’t even subtle but you have to be keen to catch it
I feel like I was waiting forever for this movie to drop! It did not disappoint. It was so quippy and fun. And I liked the little callbacks to other media like "But I'm a Cheerleader" with the name of the diner and the waitress being named Natasha. My row in the theater was definitely singing along to Complicated. I really enjoyed it! CharliXCX is killing it with these movie soundtrack contributions lately as well.
Best gay r-rated movie that isn't a porno. Truly funny. Also would like to know what evil inner city schools did the director and writers went to for this to be product of that experience.
evil inner city school😂😂😂😂❤
The commercials made me chuckle, but you never know when they were wasting their best jokes on the advertisement.
It wasn't until I heard from you that the movie just plain slapped that I was like, okay, we're going to this. SO glad I did.
When I saw the girl with the stocking cap and red hair in this movie, my immediate thought was that she looked like a young Amanda the Jedi 😂. I even mentioned that in my review.
I loved this movie. Your SXSW coverage for it had me ready to watch it, and I'm so happy I was able to. Not knowing a ton ahead of time made it just.. wow. I got the same "raunchy teen comedy vibe" without really being raunchy (or at least not as raunchy as most would be); I kept thinking more on the parody side (like Not Another Teen Movie). I had so many questions until the parody bit landed with me ("Why is the football team always in their uniforms? Why is that guy in a cage? Is that Marshawn Lynch?"). Also the mid-credits bloopers/other takes... awesome. I just figured the mascot wang was a scabbard for the sword (since the sword was... elsewhere at that point), but wow, yeah.
This is actually the second movie you've gotten me to see in theaters. I really loved it, thanks for the rec
Marshawn is amazing in the Netflix improve murder mystery thing. Screw netflix, but that show did help show us how hilarious he is
15:41 I sung the WHOLE SONG during the movie - perfect needle drop
had to pause the video to head to theaters. so good. thank you
You'll be happy to hear the theater I saw it at in Milwaukee, Wisconsin erupted into laughter and applause when Complicated started.
I just hit Bottoms and Sanctuary back to back after listening to these videos on them and 10/10 recommendations; they were both so good and so not the things I’ve seen in a while.
The best way I've been able to describe this movie is that it is a fever dream, but one with a tight script
Hazel's autistic vibes were off the charts, and one of the many reasons I loved her the most (and related to her). Props to her actor, though truly everyone was SO good in this film!
My sister and I just watched this movie for the first time, and I had never seen a trailer or anything. I was NOT prepared for the absurdist, dark humor of it, but it's what kept me watching. I, too, lost it when "Complicated" started playing. PERFECT song choice!!!!
I love that my sister and I started out the evening thinking we were gonna watch a Fear Street movie but we decided we wanted humor, yet still ended the evening with sapphics & co fighting an enemy and there being dead teenagers everywhere XD
I'm so angry I missed this in theaters
i commented on twitter a few days ago that you should make a debs video, and i haven’t yet seen this one (had to wait for vod of bottoms).
this is definitely fate.
Loooved it. I'm so glad they went there at the end-totally didn't expect that. I am looking forward to watching it again.
When i watched it there were about 20 people in the theater w us. I was surprised at how many older folks there were but it was still such a good vibe. We were almost kinda chatty and sitting in the middle of the theater so it felt like one giant sleepover.
As someone from Australia it sucks that I can’t access Bottoms since it’s not playing at any theatres here:(
I finally watch Bottoms! It's great and just the right type of humor for me. I keep on yelling "WHAT??!" or wondering WHAT IS GOING ON?! Hilarious! Absolutely entertaining! 10/10
With your point about teenagers going through their shitty phase in a lot of teen movies. This movie made me think of Heather is a lot, but also made me think of booksmart which I feel like Olivia wild, had to mess up her career because she made it perfectly great movie with booksmart and then she makes don’t worry darling and we’re all like done with her. It was such a bummer to cause Booksmart was so great.
the way that Emma did a really funny movie and with authenticity omg such an amazing film
When Complicated started playing my friend leaned over and excitedly reminded me that it's her dad's favorite song lol
