Emma: You’re listening to The Lovely Mess Podcast, your cozy consolation hear, and this week we’re discussing the film Now and Then directed by Leslie Linka Gladder and starring Christina Ricci and Demi Moore. An oldie however a goodie.
Elsie: Sure, it is a great film. I’m excited to debate it.
Emma: Yeah, me too. However earlier than we do, Elsie stated she had a private opener. That’s what we name these segments and it’s some loopy story that she hasn’t advised me but, so I’m listening to it for the primary time.
Elsie: Alright, who’s able to be horrified, terrified, and freaked out?
Emma: Me, me, me, me.
Elsie: Sure. Okay, good. Alright. So the opposite day I purchased this superior large portray on the flea market ’trigger I had this concept that I might, principally, it’s like a large portray of a sea scene with a few boats and stuff, and it has the shore and it has a moon and it has a sky. That’s what it seems to be, and it simply appeared like an old-timey portray with an attractive gold body, and it was actually large. And so I had the concept I used to be gonna take it dwelling and paint a bit of pirate ship and a few little fairies and a few little mermaids on it and make this Neverland portray, for our visitor room upstairs ’trigger we’re making the type of like an adults and youngsters visitor suite upstairs. So anyway, I did it and it turned out so cute. So Marigold was simply waking up from her nap, this was simply a few days in the past, and so I used to be like, Goldie, I completed the Neverland portray, it’s upstairs. Do you wanna see it? And she or he was like, yeah, and so we went upstairs. And Nova was nonetheless asleep and Jeremy was downstairs within the kitchen watching baseball. We bought up there, so displaying her, you understand, just like the pirate ship and the mermaids after which the fairy tree, it glows in the dead of night ’trigger I discovered some glow-in-the-dark paint. So I used to be like, let’s try the glow in the dead of night. So we type of caught this large portray into the closet, barely match, and we bought into the closet and we shut the door. And now you understand the place the story’s going.
Emma: I don’t. Did you get locked in?
Elsie: Yeah, and it wouldn’t open. And so we had been on the third ground, and for a second I used to be like, okay, we’ll get it open. I used to be like simply displaying her the portray and making an attempt to not overreact ’trigger I didn’t need her to freak out. I didn’t need her to really feel any dangerous power from me ’trigger we had been in a really small area collectively. However I used to be type of feeling round and it was virtually utterly darkish with a bit of hole alongside the floorboard. Just a little, we might see out. And to be clear, the fairy lights did preserve glowing the complete time we had been on this closet, which was quarter-hour. So I began first identical to screaming, you understand, Jeremy, Jeremy like that, making an attempt to get him to listen to, after which it was Nova. Nova later claims that she might hear, however she was too drained to examine what anybody wanted.
Emma: Wow Nova. Wow, Thanks for nothing.
Elsie: I do know, and I used to be banging on the door. I imply actually loud. For quarter-hour I’d say might be estimate. I’ve no method of understanding how lengthy we had been in there, but it surely bought very popular. I knew that it was going to be okay, there was by no means a second the place I believed they gained’t have the ability to discover us. Or they would go away the home with out us or one thing. ’trigger I knew they might discover finally that we weren’t there, but it surely took method longer than I believed it might. Like quarter-hour being trapped in a closet with no cellphone, we didn’t have something, we solely simply had the portray. And yeah, it was the worst, it was the worst feeling ever. So now I want to instantly get these locks eliminated off the closets up there as a result of they’re type of harmful and freaky. Anyway, after a very long time Jeremy heard me screaming after which he ran up there and he was actually sorry and he felt dangerous.
Emma: It’s type of far, I’ve been over at your own home, it’s on a 3rd ground.
Elsie: It’s an attic principally, and it’s fairly properly enclosed. So I type of knew he wouldn’t have the ability to hear and he had a baseball sport on.
Emma: Yeah. Truthfully, I’m shocked he did hear you ’trigger I’m excited about somebody being on that third ground and being down within the kitchen.
Elsie: I type of was like laying on the bottom, placing my mouth as much as the crack, holding my hand there in order that I might get probably the most potential noise out of the outlet, and Marigold was doing it too, she was collaborating. Anyway, that’s our story.
Emma: That’s hilarious. I believed it was gonna be both one of many youngsters painted over it when you had been finished, or I believed perhaps there was gonna be a rat within the closet or one thing. , one thing the place you couldn’t escape it.
Elsie: Effectively, the unsettling factor is it is a closet that has one other attic door within it, and I’ve appeared within it earlier than with Nova and it’s type of scary, so I simply needed to like flip my mind off to excited about it whereas we had been in there as a result of, in a horror film method, it might’ve been horrible ’trigger we had been for certain trapped in there there was no method out. I used to be slamming on it. I couldn’t break it down.
Emma: Effectively, within the kids’s e-book model, you guys soar into the portray and simply sail away within the pirate boat as a result of that’s the way in which out is into the portray. And then you definately get to the tip of the film and it was all a dream and also you had been caught within the closet the entire time, and your mother and father lastly got here.
Elsie: Okay, so again to the topic. Anyway, a consolation rewatch, I attempted to look at this film with my youngsters and it was too boring for them. They take into account it an grownup film, and actually, I watched it with Jeremy final evening and it was, it was good. It was enjoyable. It was cozy. My overview of it was I had watched it as a baby, after which this was my first time to look at it as an grownup and I’d undoubtedly put it into our cozy rewatch rotation. It’s very candy. It does have that feel-good. However I suppose I used to be anticipating it to have extra of a giant story. It doesn’t have a giant story but it surely’s fairly chill and it’s fairly delicate, I’d say.
Emma: Yeah, it’s, and it has fairly dramatic moments too. So, I had by no means seen the film earlier than. So I first watched the trailer being like, what is that this film that we’re gonna do? As a result of, we’re type of breaking out of the consolation rewatch, I suppose, since technically I hadn’t seen it earlier than. So I watched the trailer and I used to be like, oh, I feel I’m gonna love this as a result of in case you’ve by no means seen Now and Then, which I hadn’t, it’s primarily a couple of group of younger ladies and it’s their coming of age summer season. They’re all like 12, 13, and they also’re type of rising up. They’re better of buddies and so they make a pact that in the event that they ever want one another once they develop up, they’ll get again collectively. They’ll reassemble and so they do this. One among ’em is having her first child and so they type of reassemble and so they’re principally reminiscing about this summer season that they spent collectively. And so a lot of the film is simply seeing the summer season when these ladies are rising up, after which a bit of bit, it flashes ahead to love who they’re within the current tense because the grown grownup ladies, and it’s actually candy. After watching it 5 out of 5 ruining the ending right here but when I used to be going to redo it, I’d say, I don’t even know if we want the grownup half. I’m like, simply present us the youngsters’ Summer time. You possibly can have simply made the entire film simply the youngsters’ summer season.
Elsie: Actually?
Emma: Yeah.
Elsie: I just like the forwards and backwards.
Emma: There’s one half the place one of many youngsters virtually dies and also you type of know she gained’t ’trigger it’s a child’s film, however as a result of I’ve already seen her as an grownup, I do know she gained’t. So to me, it virtually took away this dramatic second. Whereas I feel if it was simply the summer season, you’d be like, oh my God, is that this child about to die? Like, whoa, this film’s method darker than I believed, and he or she doesn’t. Additionally, a giant bonus to this film, in my view, is that they do a seance and a graveyard a few instances. And a giant facet plot, which I feel type of turns into the primary plot, is you’re making an attempt to determine what occurred to this one individual within the graveyard, Johnny, Expensive Johnny. They’re making an attempt to determine their story, and that’s what the summer season type of turns into in a method. And I type of really feel prefer it may very well be virtually a Halloween film as a result of there’s a lot within the graveyard and like ghosts and It’s type of a darkish story of what occurred to that household.
Elsie: Rattling. Perhaps they missed its true calling.
Emma: I used to be like, when did this launch? Did it come out earlier than Halloween? ’trigger I felt like there have been some spooky elements for a child’s film. After which the half the place one in every of ’em virtually dies like in a drain, and it’s like, wow, that’s darkish. Additionally, when she goes down there, I used to be like, is it about to point out up since you’re down on this drain, and I simply really feel like there’s about to be a creepy clown any minute now, however there wasn’t.
Elsie: I hate the drain factor. I simply can’t think about that anybody would ever prefer to attempt to go inside one. It’s completely horrible.
Emma: It’s. Yeah. Effectively, throughout rain too. It’s like, oh my god. Yeah. My reminiscences of first watching this film the opposite evening is I cherished it.
Elsie: Yeah. I keep in mind watching it as a baby. I knew it had Christina Ricci and Thora Birch. I didn’t keep in mind the rest about it. Just about.
Emma: That’s a reasonably all-star forged. As soon as I used to be watching it, I used to be like, Rosie O’Donnell, Rita Wilson. What? What’s taking place right here? Yeah. It’s like a reasonably all-star.
Elsie: Yeah. No, I like all the casting. It’s very nice. Yeah. So, okay. So far as decor inspiration.
Emma: Earlier than we speak concerning the homes can we simply shout out to the gaslight lamps within the neighborhood? The neighborhood is called Gaslight one thing. Gaslight estates, I wanna say.
Elsie: Gaslight District or one thing.
Emma: I don’t know. It’s one thing, and every of the little outside sconces in entrance of individuals’s homes, just like the streetlights are flickering, it’s like gasoline lit by propane or no matter.
Elsie: I like these type of lamps.
Emma: I used to be so into it. I don’t know in the event that they’re harmful. I do know nothing about them.
Elsie: Oh, they’re not harmful, plenty of individuals have them.
Emma: However I used to be like, that is so charming. Yeah. I like these gaslight lamps, I used to be so into that. I cherished that element. I felt prefer it have to be in somebody’s precise neighborhood someplace, ’trigger it was actually particular and so they confirmed it just a few instances and I cherished it.
Elsie: Sure, I cherished the element as properly. One among our buddies, I gained’t say who, ’trigger perhaps that is like violating their privateness, however one in every of our shut buddies lives in a, like, what’d you name it? An old-timey-themed neighborhood and it type of seems to be like that with the lamps, you’ve by no means been there.
Emma: I don’t know who you’re speaking about. I really feel like they’re secret, protected as a result of I don’t know who you speaking about.
Elsie: All of the streets are named after previous authors or books or one thing. I’m making an attempt to think about some extent, anyhow.
Emma: It’s in all probability like Charles Dickens’s method or one thing.
Elsie: Yeah, it has like gazebos.
Emma: Shakespeare circle. I don’t know. What are we doing?
Elsie: Yeah, I feel it’s like Jane Austen and Charles Dixon’s theme or one thing. I don’t know. It’s cute although. Anyway, these neighborhoods do exist is my level. I didn’t have robust decor reactions to this film, I’ll simply say upfront. For me, probably the most nostalgic half was the general feeling and for me, my favourite rooms that had been proven had been for certain the tree home and likewise the grandma’s attic once they broke into the grandma’s attic. These had been the vibiest locations, and I additionally just like the small-town diner.
Emma: I cherished the diner and the psychic’s home. Once they go to get the tarot card studying or no matter it’s they’re doing precisely. Her home was cool too, with all of the beads and the doorways and issues like that. It felt very, It’s the vibe.
Elsie: Eighties meets Tarot Girl.
Emma: Yeah. It was like a dressing up. It was like a Disney journey, but it surely additionally felt good and I cherished it.
Elsie: Oh yeah, that’s a good suggestion for a Disney journey, now that you just point out it.
Emma: Like a psychic studying, and it may very well be like previous, current, future. We don’t must design that proper now. Let’s focus. Okay. So my favourite rooms although, I did love Chrissy’s bed room. She has pink and white stripe wallpaper in her room. That’s the one. Bonnie Hunt’s the mother, and it’s coming and giving her the intercourse speak. Nevertheless it’s not actual intercourse speak, it’s flowers and gardening intercourse speak, and also you’re like, uh oh, this isn’t gonna be useful. And that’s all you’re considering within the film. However the wallpaper seems to be identical to old fashioned Peter Pan, their bed room wallpaper, like within the e-book. I learn that to Oscar on a regular basis, he loves that one. So I used to be like, oh, that is the Peter Pan bed room wallpaper. It’s not Peter Pan’s bed room, however like Wendy and her brother’s, their playroom, the nursery, it’s like pink and white stripes. And I used to be like, this seems to be identical to Chrissy’s bed room. That’s attention-grabbing. After which I additionally actually like Teenie’s room. Thora Birch and her character develop as much as be a film star, and her bed room was simply very seventies, groovy, orange and yellow and crimson.
Elsie: That’s true. Her bed room appeared like a modern-day dwelling Instagrammer. It was very vibey and completed out, she had her built-in colours matching her wallpaper and stuff.
Emma: And so they talked about that her mother and father are type of properly todo or nation membership individuals, I feel it calls them or one thing. So I used to be like, okay, I suppose it is sensible as a result of her bed room, I used to be like, it is a good bed room. I don’t know what your childhood bed room was like, however mine was extra like posters tacked up on the wall, you understand? So I used to be like, wow, this room is fancy, I used to be fairly into it and yeah, cherished the tree home. It had an attractive rail round it. I used to be type of obsessed in the entire film that they saved saying it was like $124 and so they’re making an attempt to save lots of up the cash for this tree home. And I used to be like, this tree home value $124. I do know that is set method again within the day, however actually? After which additionally, who’s gonna set up this? Whose mother and father put this tree home up, ’trigger it was like three tales up. It was method up within the tree, they’d like three ladders snaking up there.
Elsie: They did type of HGTV a bit of bit on the tree home as a result of they stated it was $120 and you can purchase it from Sears. However someone has to place that equipment collectively.
Emma: And there’s portray concerned critical portray. Yeah. Not like simply sprayed it.
Elsie: There was rather a lot occurring. It was very elaborate. I’m undoubtedly in my tree home period making an attempt to get my youngsters an epic tree home, so I used to be very invested in that.
Emma: I didn’t suppose they confirmed the within sufficient both. I used to be very upset. I attempted Googling it later and there wasn’t something on-line both, and I used to be upset.
Elsie: When you don’t present the inside of your tree home throughout all 4 seasons and the foremost holidays, then don’t even make a film about it.
Emma: Don’t speak concerning the tree home as a result of Yeah, it’s such as you’re not even displaying it to us. God. Yeah, I didn’t really feel like there was sufficient. And on the very finish of the film, one of many characters had her child, and so they’re all up within the tree home speaking and the newborn’s up there. And I used to be like, okay no, as a result of I noticed that there have been three ladders to stand up into this tree home. You will have a new child child up there. How did you climb up these ladders with that child? I didn’t imagine that half. I used to be like, Nope. I’m not calling it an unsafe scenario. I’m simply saying I don’t see how you probably did it. I don’t suppose so.
Elsie: It’s worthwhile to droop your disbelief for that a bit of bit.
Emma: I used to be like, why’d you are taking the newborn up there? Treehouses are the place to flee the newborn for a couple of minutes. Go away it together with your mother for a couple of minutes.
Elsie: Oh, Emma.
Emma: Anyway. What else? What else, what else?
Elsie: They’re simply making an attempt to painting the circle of life.
Emma: I suppose that’s true.
Elsie: Don’t take that away from them.
Emma: I’ll say perhaps the interiors weren’t as, I imply, they had been fairly nice, however there simply wasn’t as a lot of them.
There was lots of being exterior. They’re on their bikes rather a lot. There’s rather a lot taking place open air. So I really feel just like the film’s a bit of extra about that. They’re within the graveyard rather a lot, however I did really feel like there was some fairly good style inspiration on this. I do know we’re following round like preteen ladies, however I nonetheless was like, I just like the shirt, I like these shorts.
If Madewell was promoting this, I’d purchase it, I’m fairly , it was all cute.
Elsie: Yeah, they had been undoubtedly lovable and I cherished their grownup variations, seeing how they dressed as properly. It’s very candy. It’s such film.
Emma: Yeah. Demi Morre’s character, I feel she’s type of science fiction. She had these braids up on her head.
Elsie: She was like an excellent hipster.
Emma: Yeah, undoubtedly. Type of a Benik kind or one thing, very emo. However yeah some other inspirations from the film? They do lots of life classes ’trigger one of many ladies virtually dies, and one of many ladies has a lifeless mother or father. One among ’em, the mother and father are divorcing, and he or she meets the brand new boyfriend and that’s an entire second.
Elsie: Oh my God. One among my favourite traces from the film was when she stated, I’ve heard that in just a few years, 50% of the inhabitants will probably be divorced. And she or he’s like, I don’t imagine that. It’s like, oh my gosh it’s such a loopy change for our nation when no-fault divorce turned authorized. It’s very completely different.
Emma: Very completely different. Oh, the scene the place they meet the vet who’s performed by Brendan Frazier. He’s a Vietnam vet, and he appears to be hitchhiking, and he type of has a limp. And they also type of discuss that he bought shot within the wars, I imagine what his character says, however he’s presupposed to be a Vietnam vet so he’s gotten again from Vietnam considerably just lately, I feel, what the film’s telling us. And that entire scene to me was like actually bizarre. ’trigger I used to be like, what’s taking place? This man appears to be like a younger man, like an grownup, and there’s all these pre-teen ladies and he’s like letting them have a cigarette. On the one hand, I’m like, okay, he’s making an attempt to be pleasant, however alternatively, I used to be like, is one thing bizarre about to occur, I don’t know, my radar was up.
Elsie: That’s true. My radar was up as properly. And did you discover that there was a scene the place their grandma brings ’em into their lounge and he or she serves all of them, I feel alcohol as a result of they’re all choking on their drink, and It appeared prefer it may very well be lemonade, however they’re all like choking it down. So I feel that’s what they had been implying. That is actually humorous as a result of yeah, we undoubtedly didn’t have grandmas who served us alcohol after we had been 12 years previous. That may be so cool.
Emma: And there are lots of cigarettes within the film. Like mini characters are smoking. Which, no matter however I simply really feel like films don’t do this as a lot now, so I used to be identical to, oh yeah, that is an previous film. Again after we had been way more chill about this ’trigger it’s a child film for certain, not less than a household film.
Elsie: That’s true. It’s undoubtedly outdated, however I type of imagine in accepting outdated issues for what they’re.
Emma: Effectively, smoking’s the worst factor that occurs within the film then It’s like, that’s not that dangerous. ’trigger it’s fairly straightforward to inform a child, smoking heads up causes most cancers. It’s fairly straightforward. It’s simply attention-grabbing.
Elsie: Yeah, I believed the small city, just like the Predominant Avenue strip, was additionally actually cute. I at all times prefer it once they have that in films. ’trigger that’s one thing that being from Missouri, we see, we see cities that look that method rather a lot. Our city doesn’t look that method, however plenty of like communities, little surrounding cities the place our grandma’s from there are many locations that look that method and it’s, it’s so candy.
Emma: Yeah, a bit of, having a bit of dinner made me consider the diner we used to go to with our grandma rising up. Oh yeah. It felt very acquainted, but it surely didn’t really feel like my city, which I feel is nice. I take into account {that a} praise. They had been like tapping into one thing type of common, not less than to me. However oh yeah, I cherished it. Ought to we do some trivia?
Elsie: Let’s do the trivia.
Emma: Okay. First, so the 4 youthful variations of the ladies had been forged first, and after the adults had been forged, they watched the footage of the younger ladies’ performances to tell their very own.
Elsie: That’s good.
Emma: Do you actually suppose that, how plausible do you suppose that was although ’trigger I used to be like, I like this entire forged. And everybody did an amazing job, however I didn’t really feel prefer it was like, oh yeah, they forged these two individuals ’trigger they type of look alike, or their mannerisms felt related. I used to be identical to, okay and so they forged two nice actresses, one who’s a baby and one who’s an grownup and that’s that, you understand? However I didn’t actually really feel prefer it was like, oh yeah, they appear so related.
Elsie: To be 100% sincere, I feel they only picked well-known individuals too.
Emma: That’s what I feel. I’m not saying it’s dangerous, however I’m identical to, I don’t know. I don’t really feel like they bought my mannerisms precisely. I used to be like, I don’t know.
Elsie: That’s true. Like have you ever watched the present Yellow Jackets?
Emma: No.
Elsie: It’s like a latest present and so they have like a youthful and teenage model or an grownup and teenage model of the identical characters, and so they look rather a lot alike. And so they actually promote it. They didn’t do this, no.
Emma: Or when the brand new Hocus Pocus got here out this previous 12 months, that one I felt just like the little ladies, the younger, I don’t know the way previous they’re, I feel they’re younger ladies, however within the film, they felt like they watched the previous Hocus Pocus to me or Hocus Pocus rather a lot ’trigger they only did little issues just like the older actresses. And I used to be like, oh they’re undoubtedly doing a bit of little bit of an impersonation of them a bit of bit, and I believed it was so good. It made me suppose like, wow, they’re such good actors. ’trigger they’re clearly making an attempt to be this different individual, a youthful model of this individual. So anyway. This film didn’t do this, in my view. Shifting on.
Elsie: Okay. The subsequent trivia is Thora Birch, who performs Teeny, had by no means ridden a motorbike earlier than this film. That’s so humorous, I like tales like that.
Emma: Robert Pattinson, that was a number of the trivia from Twilight. I feel we learn on the podcast.
Elsie: That he didn’t drive a automobile.
Emma: And he needed to be taught there within the wet space. Yeah, to need to be taught to journey a motorbike after which do it in a film. I imply, I suppose you’d be very motivated to be taught. She appeared nice.
Elsie: I suppose, yeah, to be truthful there’s in all probability like at all times one thing like Emma by no means actually discovered to make use of curler skates.
Emma: I nonetheless don’t know the way.
Elsie: After which for me, I can’t keep in mind what my factor can be, however there’s in all probability undoubtedly one thing that I simply by no means discovered that I’m simply too afraid of.
Emma: Are you able to ski?
Elsie: Positively can’t ski.
Emma: There you go. There’s one thing. I can’t actually ski both. So in case you needed to be in a film the place they’re like, you’re gonna ski previous the digicam now, you’d be like, nope. I don’t know the way to do this. Okay. Samantha’s little sister within the film was performed by Demi Moore’s oldest daughter Rumor Willis.
Elsie: Oh, that’s candy.
Emma: Isn’t that cute?
Elsie: That’s very cute.
Emma: I couldn’t even inform in the course of the film, after which I really feel like I noticed some promo factor or one thing that was like, right here they’re years later or no matter. ’trigger I used to be making an attempt to search for extra treehouse photos, primarily. And I used to be like, oh, it’s her daughter. I didn’t even discover in the course of the film. She’s so little within the film. However I used to be like, oh cute. That’s cute. I don’t even know if they’d the identical days of capturing, in all probability not ’trigger the older actresses are like by no means in photographs with the younger ones. However I nonetheless was like, that’s actually cute that they’re each in the identical film.
Elsie: That’s very cute. Okay. Marlene King wrote the film when she was 10 years previous and stated it was about her group of buddies rising up. That’s lovable. I like that.
Emma: I like that. Yeah. So cool.
Elsie: When she was 10 years previous, although. So that you’re making lots of predictions concerning the future. That really makes their older selves make extra sense to me. I feel I settle for them extra now.
Emma: As a result of they appear extra generic a bit of bit?
Elsie: Yeah, like extra of a visualization of how life can be than an actual individual.
Emma: Yeah. ’trigger I did really feel just like the youthful variations, there have been lots of type of particular issues and particular issues that didn’t even go wherever essentially. They didn’t at all times ladder as much as one thing larger, which to me felt very true to life. It’s not a memoir essentially, however nonetheless I cherished it. It did really feel very very similar to childhood to me. So it kinda is sensible to me {that a} child really wrote it as a result of it actually felt like rising up and it was good. So good for her.
Elsie: Good for her. I like it. Okay, price this film from zero to 5 seances. Okay, I’m going to provide it a 4 out of 5. I feel if Rosie O’Donnell’s character would’ve had a popping out, I’d’ve given it a 5. I feel it wanted that.
Emma: Thought it was gonna occur.
Elsie: I used to be ready for it then it didn’t. I felt prefer it was gonna be an amazing second, after which it simply type of didn’t, in order that’s the one flaw I can discover in it although. I feel it was very cute.
Emma: No, I cherished it. I’m gonna give it 5 seances. Cherished it a lot.
Elsie: It was cute. And thanks to everybody who wrote in.

Elsie: I like that.
Emma: I do know. I’m enthusiastic about it. The longer term is brilliant.
Elsie: Okay. Yeah, I do know. That sounds good. I feel that fairly quickly both the following one or the one after that will probably be full in Halloween film mode, which will probably be good.
Emma: We nonetheless must do Jurassic Park. And I used to be like, perhaps that may very well be the very starting, like transitioning as a result of it’s a little scary, but it surely’s not likely a Halloween film.
Elsie: It’s not a Halloween film.
Emma: Yeah. So I used to be like, we gotta get that in earlier than summer season’s over although. It’s unbelievable.
