Mamma Mia Is Astoundingly Horned Up - Guilty Pleasures Ep. 74

[@sydneealyse1932]

Miles confidently saying just because the songs are in English that ABBA has to be American is killing me!! Kelsey was literally right! They’re Swedish!

[@maahoycaroo]

That’s when you know he’s American 😂

[@alexandraertz1238]

This episode is proof that Zach is the backbone of keeping this pod on track even though he exudes pure chaos himself.

[@naomithomas5609]

As a European that ABBA history recap - killed me inside…slowly😂

currently at the beginning and hoping they do the bare minimum of researching the band 'cause I feel betrayed right now :')

[@laurwolves]

But for real tho 🤣

[@alexandraertz1238]

As an American who just loves ABBA, I’m also traumatized by the history recap 🤣

[@bgingerich]

whenever someone kills me by saying they don't know who ABBA is I just tell them they make incredible pop music and are basically Swedish Fleetwood Mac with how much they dated and married each other lmao

[@clesiaisabelsoares1176]

How is no one talking about the fact that the actors were famously DRUNK AF while filming!? And those infamous after party photos where they’re all singing their hearts out ? Iconic.

The hotel didn't exist when Donna came to the island! It was a goat house! Zach leaves and all research goes out the window!

[@chickennugget1139]

he doesn’t do his research well either and constantly gets things completely wrong so...

[@rohannapsc]

The amount of incorrect information in this podcast is wild😂. We need Zach back for fact checking.

[@rosejermusyk]

Every time someone says they don't like musicals because no one breaks out in song and dance in real life and that makes them realistic, every single time someone says that I think "you need new friends." Because there are plenty of people in the world who do in fact break into song and dance in real life.

[@_bebeboudeur_]

This ! Yes !

[@livelifeincolour]

The "musicals aren't realistic" argument seems silly to me because there are so many movies out there that have unrealistic premises.

[@MeredithHagan]

The best part about Mamma Mia is you can tell how much fun the cast had making it.

[@Sophie-nz9fz]

you’re telling me kelsey is a musical theater kid who doesn’t know what a jukebox musical is? also guys PLEASE start doing just a teeny bit more research before the episodes, I love y’all but the misinformation in these podcasts is rampant lol

[@amandaskoglund13]

I am so surprised that everyone thinks there’s too many songs in this movie I love the fact that it’s mostly vibes a good plot line and a whole bunch of bangers

[@wrath-of-the-badger2238]

ABBA is Swedish and Björn and Benny were part of making the movie and you can actually see them in both of the movies

[@linaljp]

This is the reason I can't watch this episode... the lies... pisses me off!

[@cheesecakelasagna]

This is why there should be at least one expert/stan [of the film topic] in every video. I'm thinking like Zach Noe Towers in the Minions episode or Jarvis Johnson in HSM 1 and 2.

[@HeauxforHorror]

The movie isn't about the father though. It's all about the relationship between daughter and mother that grows out of the chaos of this entire situation.

[@Balsammaison]

“Papa Mia” Made me laugh out loud I think I woke up my whole house. Miles, you are straight up my daily dose of medication

[@herb_rolls]

stop letting better help sponsor you pleaseeee. they are trying to create a monopoly service for therapists that don't allow them to operate their own business and provide lower quality care for their clients!

[@PokhrajRoy.]

This movie proved to us that the Holy Trifecta of Meryl Streep, Christine Baranski and Julie Walters along with Amanda Seyfried’s immense talent can move cinematic mountains.

[@desolationsamiga]

None of them seem to realize that it is structured like a Greek Comedy. Hence why Sophie's choices might not make sense to Garrick. Also the people who "work for Donna" are shown to actually be the Greek Chorus of the film, as seen in the song during the credits. (But yes this is a very white movie.)

[@kathleenuclear]

Kelsey needs to get into ABBA. I can't believe she doesn't know who they are! Their music is so fun!

[@skinquench]

Ya'll not knowing the chronology of Abba music and Mama Mia the musical is KILLING ME 🥲😂

[@DtotheLA]

Thanks, Rainy, for standing up for the joyfulness of this movie ❤

[@cb1188]

I would also like to say that me and my friends watch this movie every single holiday and every single birthday we smoke a little weed get a little drunk and watch the first and second movie. I’ve also been to several ABBA tribute concerts I just don’t understand how someone can’t love this movie🤣

[@innermoppet3378]

garrick -- you've never just walked down the street feeling happy and realized you're singing out loud? never been in a bar when backstreet boys comes on and everyone sings? never run into a flash mob or even just some rando goes into a music store and starts rocking out on the piano? music is EVERYWHERE and the fact that you don't seem to notice makes me genuinely sad for you. don't be so cool that you can't appreciate joyful silliness.

[@kseniacaillouet1956]

I keep trying really hard to enjoy this podcast because I like the dynamic between Zach and Garrick, but it is maddening to me that Kelsey continuously interrupts Garrick in every episode. I know it's supposed to be a comedy show (maybe) and that Garrick often-times brings up serious issues/concerns about the movies, but they are super valid points that need to be heard and talked about. 🤷‍♀️

[@awesomeperson1302]

Do you think that’s partially due to the fact that he’s like Skyping in and there’s a lag?

I’m an American born in 1998 and I was still screaming in my car about all the ABBA misinformation….. 😭 I know they’re busy but come on…. 4 people in one room and no one knew anything else? 😭

I can’t believe Miles said that the second movie is pointless are you kidding me dhdff young Donna is fucking amazing!!! also I love seeing the flashbacks and flash forwards of it all.

[@alsoimawkward4909]

Yes like sure the second movie is incosistent with some of the lore of the first movie and some of the songs are the same but its still such a fun time with good songs, outfits, moments and a bit more insight into the characters.

[@Chief_Nicc]

Gotta say really lovin Rainie being in the podcasts lol great energy

I listened to ABBA for the first time through this movie. So many chills in theatres. Immediately went home to learn all the lyrics.

Well one they are all of 25-31 on this show in America. Their parents weren't playing ABBA for them. I grew up knowing ABBA because my grandmother and mom were alive for a large part of the disco era. Some of these parents were born in the disco era.

I would love to see Gerrick's take on any dramatic musical. Because I can't imagine he can watch Les Misérables or the new West Side Story or even Rent and say that the music takes him out of it. In any good, well-made musical, the music movies the plot forward so seamlessly that you are able to suspend your disbelief and be fully absorbed.

[@chickennugget1139]

BEGGING for at least one of the three co-hosts on this show to have imdb and wikipedia open while recording. or even one of the podcasts producers since that is something other podcast producers execute. almost 80 episodes with comments always having to fact check and correct the show. we get that this isn’t a podcast detailing the ins and outs of films, but a little basic knowledge about the films you guys JUST watched would not only make it more enjoyable for us, but it would make the podcast seem a bit more professional and less carelessly put together. even if you don’t like the movies or don’t know everything about them, why talk about them for an hour and be ignorant the whole time. as three people who pride themselves in their love and knowledge of film, and who assumedly made this podcast with that at its core, it’s frustrating as a listener to have such a fun concept for a podcast seem so undirected. if anyone has recommendations for other film podcasts lmk cuz i’m kinda over the eye rolls this one gives me.

[@monamohamed6871]

So many hilarious but gobsmacking points I need to raise after listening to this episode: 1. Kelsey doesn't know who ABBA are??!! I wish I was there, then I could give you a rundown of their whole history. They became famous after winning the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974. AND the play came way after their success. The band and the music were a thing WAY before the musical became an idea 2. Miles thinking ABBA are American and saying it so confidently??!! I'm so glad he discovered they were Swedish, that would've bothered me if he spent the entire episode believing they were American 3. Garrick hates musicals??!! That makes me so sad for you 4. Rainie not knowing Maury??!! 5. Rainie wondering if the world knew about Steve Martin??!! I recommend Father of the Bride and Father of the Bride 2 - that was my first time watching him when I was young. I just had to let it out! 😮‍💨

Because there hasn't been several tv iterations on beloved comic book characters LONG before the dark knight. It's MAMMA MIA that was the one to start it all 🙄
