Yes please! Another day, another amazing video from y’all!

I remember reading somewhere that Aaron is referencing estrangement and reconnecting with his wife in The Alcott. And yeah, maybe Taylor felt similarly about Joe so jumped in on the idea.

Also, I'm one of the besties lite who wasn't around when besties opened up. I didn't get or see a link to the Google form so I'm curious how it leaked

Alex

I’m sure the bestie preview/link was stressful but the content we got out of it had me on the floor I love y’all’s dynamic so much 🫶🏼

Sara woods

I was lmao when it got to the besties lite part,im in there and i also got a submit your questions thing and i thought oh this must be a mistake so i didnt send anything in 🤣

Erin

That was meeeee telling them to find another name!!!!!!!!!

Gianna

Speak now tour love well yes!!!!!

Kylee

I’m a bestie lite, I definitely saw the link when I was the tier below (I think last month?) Don’t worry Madeline, I respected the space 😆

nate

would do anything for the lakes lyrical analysis on lizard!!

Joey Caleb

Lmaooooo I’m a Bitch is not an alanis song 😭💙

Daniel Juarez

Me when I missed besties submission bc I’m traveling 😭

CAN WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE WING LINER SLAYAGE SHE DID IT YALL

Hugh Gatchell

No joke, getting shamed by Zach and Madeleine was fully the highlight of my day😂 I made 100% sure that I said I was a besties lite member right at the beginning to make sure they knew before they potentially responded. Tbh the whole thing had me floored.

maryna

but to be fair, many people think "bitch" is by alanis. whenever i say i like alanis, people literally sing this song to me 😃 it's a classic! 😁

maryna

it's ok that you're not alanis stans 😄 (my question was more about taylor's lyrics, not the music as such, though, but it's ok. it may be a bit off topic anyway :)) btw: by "i'm old", i mean i'm 40... i guess that's pretty old around here 😉😀 (well, i guess, but who knows 😜)

Alanis has way more songs that sound alt indie than alt rock ... and a very personal writing style, like Taylor. If you follow her, you also know the muses of all her work ... like Taylor. For example, Flavors of Entanglement is an entire album about her breakup with Ryan Reynolds. "Unsent", "That I Would Be Good (MTV Unplugged version)", and "Thank You" are some of my favorite Alanis songs. As Madeline would say, you need to open your heart to Alanis. Because a lot of artists were directly inspired by her honesty on Jagged Little Pill (Taylor, Avril Lavigne, even Katy Perry). She's the OG. Show some respect.

martin scorsese won his only directing oscar for the departed. But you're right overall they arent huge fans of his work, whenever he releases a movie its always predicted to be nominated but rarely to win

may december warrior

also you'd be shocked that ryan gosling was getting early buzz BEFORE the movie even came out, we knew in nov of 2022 that people were labeling him as a standout, also it's a bit diff for me that he's nominated in supporting actor. I'm fine with him being nominated there as that's usually where comedic performances get nominated (melissa mccarthy was nominated for bridesmaids). I personally prefer Ruffalo's performance in poor things as a comedic choice but idm gosling being there since we're giving it to rdj for no real reason yk. Also Emma Stone winning over lily was always on the cards, mainly cause if you've seen poor things its sort of undeniable and emma almost had an unfair advantage going in just cause of how juicy that role was. Sorry to blabber but i am an oscarologist LOLL!! also also lily gladstone was originally campaigned in supporting and was later moved to lead which is a bad choice in terms of voting cause people already saw your performance as supporting even if it wasnt yk. Additionally there was a decent amount of pushback from the Osage community about Lily's role in the movie, they said that they were very conflicted which isnt a good look. (i for one agree and wanted more from lily's character) but overall that is the oscars tea. I also want to say that barbie being nominated and up for wins isnt that shocking considering top gun maverick had a similar path last year. OH also also, people were so shocked by margot missing but it was actually not shocking to those in the know (she was never in my predictions) cause her performance was never gonna get a lot of number 1 votes which is what counts when deciding who gets nommed. additionally she was actually nominated as a producer and campaigned heavily there so people seem to forget that

The song Madeline referenced discussing Alanis is a Meredith Brooks song 😂 I know this bc I'm also old (36) and was around when it was getting radio play.

maryna

yay, someone else who is old (well, "old" in taylor swift stan groups terms). love it! 😄

Burtasaurusrex11

Turning 34 this year. Glad I'm not the only person old enough to catch that.

ccynthesyzer

I just want to say I am a rule following besties L I T E 👀🤣

maryna

there's more older girlies here than i thought! 🙃

maryna

yeah, she gets reduced to "jagged little pill" a lot, but she has released a lot of albums. i think, "hands clean" was an interesting departure from her more rock-inspired beginnings. also lyrically - it's about a relationship with a much older man when she was pretty young. the fact that this really is one of the poppiest songs ever and is so easy to sing along to kind of clashes with the lyrics in an interesting way. i remember being really gagged about this back in the day, but i was also shocked at how poppy she had become. the old alanis could no longer come to the phone at that point 😉. her honesty/confessional songwriting was something else, though! i think "not as we", "this grudge", "madness" and "simple together" have interesting lyrics for taylor fans maybe (well, maybe!), as these songs describe the post-relationship/post break-up feeling very well and include a couple of lines that are pretty clever (😎), but some of them sound a bit dated, i guess. some of her pop bangers include "hands clean", "sister blister", "precious illusions", "straitjacket", "eight easy steps", "versions of violence", "woman down".

“Not As We” is on my Joever/“Processing Turkey” playlist. 😜

Kai Bishop

I agree both that KOTFM, specifically Lily Gladstone, was robbed. I love Emma Stones performance, but I love how subtle that Lily Gladstone was. Also, Anatomy of a Fall is sooo good. Honestly, I loved most of the best picture noms, expect for the flop that was Maestro. My #1 was Past Lives.

maryna

me too!!

maryna

"anatomy of a fall" and "past lives" were both outstanding, i think. "poor things" was great as well, but a bit too porn for my liking. and by porn i mean male-gaze porn, not aesthetic porn that would have fitted the movie. this really put me off... but the rest of the movie i loved!

Juliana McKenna

I was one of the people who left a Nicole raffie comment, and honestly, I have trigger fingers. I wanted to comment before the videos over. I didn’t even get to the point in the video where he credits Nicole yet. Anyway, I think it’s lowkey human nature to want to be involved and certain people either are better at not commenting than I am, or don’t admit that they are the same as I am.

What did the Bestie Lights do? (I did nothing wrong!) stop breaking the rules people!!! This is why we can’t have nice things….

Rachel Bullock

Drew the cat eye sharp enough to kill a man, truly...

Kylee

Bestie Lites spoke now, and the Snakes said 🤫 shut the f*** up i.e. speak less.

Kylee

I just turned 36 😩 I’m in my Bejeweled Era with my other thirty something girlie Taylor 😆 I was a freshman in college when Tim McGraw came out. But I want Madeline to do a lyric analysis/deep dive on Tragic Kingdom (If you know, you know). That album was written to be reviewed by the Lizard 👑

Cameron

not really relevant but salmon is a sublime hue on you Zack ;)

Mia Mar

Wait what is the alchemist is about her feeling like she transformed her music into something new or putting the pieces back together, maybe I’m just too lit rn or this makes sense😀
