[00:00:21] [SPEAKER_00]: It's me, your host Chappelle and this is a podcast where we talk about Black media, Black
[00:00:24] [SPEAKER_00]: art and all kinds of other art too.
[00:00:27] [SPEAKER_00]: We just like to really take the time to highlight the black stuff that means a lot to me and
[00:00:30] [SPEAKER_00]: to my listeners and to all of my amazing guests.
[00:00:33] [SPEAKER_00]: And this week was a great example of what our amazing guests bring to Recap Kickback.
[00:00:40] [SPEAKER_00]: We're bringing back being Camille AF to talk about her favorite movie and one of her favorite
[00:00:44] [SPEAKER_00]: topics, the purple one himself.
[00:00:47] [SPEAKER_00]: No not Bryce Isaiah this time.
[00:00:49] [SPEAKER_00]: We're talking about Prince on the anniversary of Purple Rain, the movie.
[00:00:55] [SPEAKER_00]: So Camille welcome back.
[00:00:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you so, so much for having me after our last one.
[00:01:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I got off is like an hour later and I was like, I want to do Purple Rain.
[00:01:05] [SPEAKER_02]: If anybody else is going to do it, tell them no they can't do it.
[00:01:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I want to do it.
[00:01:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
[00:01:10] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm glad you did because I didn't even realize it.
[00:01:13] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, as of 1984 this would make 40 years since the movie release of Princess
[00:01:21] [SPEAKER_00]: iconic rock musical Purple Rain.
[00:01:23] [SPEAKER_00]: And there's so much to talk about when it comes to Prince, when it comes to this movie,
[00:01:28] [SPEAKER_00]: when it comes to that soundtrack.
[00:01:30] [SPEAKER_00]: And that seems like you're the perfect person for this.
[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm so happy that you agreed to be here today.
[00:01:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you so much.
[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_02]: So first off before we jump into anything, we're just going to say I'm old enough
[00:01:42] [SPEAKER_02]: to have watched Purple Rain and that's as old as I'm admitting to being.
[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_02]: OK, so we're not going to do math.
[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_02]: We're not going to do a bunch of numbers.
[00:01:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I can get away with saying I'm younger than what I am.
[00:01:52] [SPEAKER_02]: So we're just going to let y'all think I'm younger than what I am.
[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_02]: But I am old enough to have seen Purple Rain not when it came out.
[00:01:57] [SPEAKER_02]: But like, yeah, I'm old enough to have seen it.
[00:01:59] [SPEAKER_02]: But we're not going to talk about age.
[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we both have seen it.
[00:02:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, for sure.
[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, same.
[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Same to what you said.

[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_00]: We need more to keep this thing popping.
[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Keep it going.
[00:03:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Last week, we had the Was It Good?
[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Though podcast on as well to talk about Supercell, the number two.
[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I haven't watched it yet.
[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Is it good? Oh yeah.
[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Supercell is dope.
[00:03:19] [SPEAKER_00]: It's the number two show on Netflix.
[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_00]: And what I've been seeing is it's taking off in popularity.
[00:03:24] [SPEAKER_00]: And so if you want a little recap of the premiere, if you're thinking about
[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_00]: maybe watching Supercell and you're on the fence, check out that podcast.
[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Jazz and Jason from Was It Good?
[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Though were amazing as usual.
[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_00]: And so it was fun to have them back on and then make sure you check out
[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_00]: the Was It Good?
[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Though podcast to keep up with more from them.
[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_00]: But so you didn't spoil it.
[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just like a little preview of the first one.
[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_00]: It's just a little rundown of the first episode.
[00:03:46] [SPEAKER_00]: We give like some B by B.
[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_00]: And then I think we made a little section at the end.
[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Can we talk about what kind of the bigger picture spoilers?
[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_00]: But we don't get into a lot of specifics, none of the ending or whatever.
[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_00]: But if you want to tap out before the spoiler section, that makes total sense.
[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_00]: You don't try to bring more people to watching Supercell
[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_00]: because I think it's underrated already.
[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_00]: And if people keep a little bit more attention to it, we might get a season two.
[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, we might get a lot more content similar to that.
[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_00]: So that's the kind of thing that we do here on Recap Kickback.
[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_00]: But Camille, we got a lot to talk about.
[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_00]: We have to talk about Prince and why it was so important for you
[00:04:20] [SPEAKER_00]: to be the guest to talk about Purple Rain.
[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, as you all can see.
[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we got a look.
[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_00]: We got purple on for the occasion.
[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_02]: So yes, let's talk about it.
[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_02]: What you got?
[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_02]: My background, my father.
[00:04:34] [SPEAKER_02]: So me and you can speak in big brother terms, right?
[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_02]: My father is a day one season one live feed watching super fan of Prince.
[00:04:44] [SPEAKER_00]: OK, so I grew up.
[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I grew up with that in my household.
[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_02]: My dad is kind of light skinned.
[00:04:49] [SPEAKER_02]: He had a big old fro.
[00:04:50] [SPEAKER_02]: So people said he looked like Prince.
[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And this is all before I was ever born.
[00:04:53] [SPEAKER_02]: So me coming into it, that's kind of like what we listen to growing up.
[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_02]: But the movie itself, I was too young.
[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_02]: My parents were talking about going to the movie.
[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_02]: And at the time they used to take me to the movies with them,
[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_02]: like whenever because I'd fall asleep, I was like five.
[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_02]: So they were talking about going to the movies
[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_02]: and they was getting ready to go.
[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_02]: And they're like, no, you're staying home.
[00:05:12] [SPEAKER_02]: And I remember as the first time they really told me no, I couldn't do something.
[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And I didn't even care about the movie, but I remember I was so upset
[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_02]: and I wanted to see the movie so bad because I wasn't allowed to see it.
[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_02]: But then further on, I'm a military kid.
[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_02]: So we drove from Virginia to Washington state
[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_02]: and it took like 10 days in a car.
[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_02]: And we just listened to Purple Rain over and over and over.
[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_02]: And you know, back then cassette tapes,
[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_02]: you had to listen from like start to finish and flip it and do it again.
[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_02]: So I got to really learn to listen to music.
[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't just background noise anymore at such a young age.
[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And I didn't understand the instruments, but I knew I loved the different sounds
[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_02]: and it actually made me love the guitar, which is why I'm learning how to play now.
[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's been a passion of mine, but Prince really put a lot into me.
[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_02]: He put the love of music into me.
[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_02]: He put the love of especially the electric guitar because back then
[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_02]: how many black people played electric guitar?
[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_02]: It was just Prince.
[00:06:10] [SPEAKER_02]: He made me want to be a drummer and learn how to play drums.
[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_02]: How many black women did you know playing drums?
[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, so he really, really influenced me as a child
[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_02]: and it stayed with me for my whole life.
[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's why this was important to me.
[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Man, I love that, especially because I've always loved Prince.
[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_00]: My mom really wasn't a big Prince fan growing up, but I would listen to us.
[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_00]: We listened to a lot of Michael Jackson.
[00:06:36] [SPEAKER_00]: And then as I got older, maybe around like little school or high school,
[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I would always hear Prince on the radio, you know?
[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_00]: But like we never really just dove into the Prince stuff.
[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_00]: And so I would start hearing debates like, oh, yeah, who do you prefer?
[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Prince or Michael Jackson?
[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, OK, well, let me see what those Prince has to offer.
[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_00]: And man, I was always so impressed with everything about Prince.
[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Prince is my favorite guitarist of all time.
[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I have a list, but he's number one.
[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I have a list too.
[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he is number one and I just and I and I just can I say how much they
[00:07:05] [SPEAKER_00]: you know, his talent and, you know, his musicality, it just spoke to me
[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_00]: from like the very first time I heard it.
[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_00]: And so I love talking about Prince.
[00:07:15] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's part of the reason why I love purple so much as well, you know?
[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Because I just I have like this connection to Prince.
[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_00]: And I remember being very sad when Prince passed away.
[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't able to go see him on tour because I believe
[00:07:28] [SPEAKER_00]: he was touring around that time.
[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, oh, yeah, Prince, if I have a chance, I have to go see Prince.
[00:07:33] [SPEAKER_00]: And unfortunately, I wasn't able to.
[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_00]: But there are there's movies like Purple Rain that really make you feel like
[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_00]: you can you're connected to Prince in a way or that you got to experience
[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_00]: some of this because there are scenes in purple rain that kind of feel
[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_00]: like full length Prince concerts.
[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_00]: And I love the movie for that reason, if nothing else.
[00:07:52] [SPEAKER_02]: One of the reasons that I loved it, because like I said,
[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I was really little when it first came out.
[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't get to see it till years later.
[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_02]: But I had already knew all the videos, the movies, the songs.
[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I knew like the choreography from the videos.
[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_02]: And so watching the movie for the first time as a little kid,
[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I felt like I was at my first concert.
[00:08:11] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think that's why it stuck with me so much because I couldn't sit still.
[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I was up dancing. I was like, oh, I know this.
[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_02]: So I really like it did a lot for me like as far as like I said,
[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_02]: just enjoying music and understanding like what music can bring to you
[00:08:26] [SPEAKER_02]: and what the energy it can give off, you know?
[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I again, this movie did all that for me.
[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. And we've seen other like biopics and movies about black artists,
[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_00]: about musicians all across the board where you go in and you watch
[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_00]: the story of them from like, you know, when they're starting off,
[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_00]: when they're forming the groups.
[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_00]: And my first ones that come to mind are kind of like the Michael Jackson
[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_00]: American Dream story or even like the Temptations.
[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Several ones, Little Richard has one.
[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_00]: But this is different because this isn't exactly a autobiographical.
[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I did got a hope.
[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_00]: So I hope it's not because it is a little bit.
[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_00]: It is a little bit.
[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a little but there's a lot of embellishment.
[00:09:09] [SPEAKER_00]: This is very much more of you could tell Prince sat down and wanted to tell
[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_00]: a story that maybe had some princes, princes influences in it,
[00:09:17] [SPEAKER_00]: but maybe not so, you know, nose nail on the head, I guess,
[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_00]: when it comes to some of his upbringing.
[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Because if this is true to Prince's story, Prince a wild boy,
[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Prince is wild. Yeah.
[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_02]: So from I did a little bit of research just to make sure I had my stuff right
[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_02]: before I came on.
[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_02]: But so the reason he wanted to make this film is because of Thriller,
[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_02]: because Michael Jackson had just done Thriller and that was a big deal.
[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Everybody sat in their living room at eight o'clock and watched MTV,
[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_02]: watched Thriller is the craziest thing.
[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_02]: And his contract was up with Warner Brothers.
[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_02]: And he was like, I will resign, but it has to include a movie deal
[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_02]: because I want to outdo Michael.
[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_02]: And so that's really where the movie came from, but you're right.
[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_02]: He is very much a storyteller.
[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think when he writes music, he sees it visually too.
[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_02]: And also a lot of his pre purple rain music,
[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_02]: he he talked a lot about being misunderstood,
[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_02]: because of course, Prince was like this this thing nobody had ever seen
[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_02]: before addressing in ways nobody had seen.
[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_02]: And he felt misunderstood.
[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think this was his way of kind of showing himself
[00:10:25] [SPEAKER_02]: but controlling the narrative, if you will.
[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_02]: He got to still be the hero of his own narrative
[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_02]: because this is really a corny story itself.
[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_02]: But what?
[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_00]: I went back and watched this the other day and I was like, oh, a prince.
[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_00]: This is your story.
[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_00]: You want to tell this?
[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, corny is a good word.
[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but he did.
[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_02]: He grew up very religious.
[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_02]: He was a seventh day Adventist and his parents were musicians.
[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_02]: And so for a long time, they hid music from him.
[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_02]: So a lot of him talking about his dad not wanting to show him the music
[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_02]: or whatever, that's actually true.
[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_02]: His dad telling him not to get married.
[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_02]: That's actually true.
[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_02]: He did live in a basement, but it was a friend's basement.
[00:11:12] [SPEAKER_02]: His parents kicked him out when he was like 12 or something like that.
[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And he had to go live somewhere else.
[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_02]: But the song when Doves cry.
[00:11:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry, I'm giving all my little facts.
[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_02]: But when you cry,
[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_02]: he actually did have to call his dad.
[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_02]: His dad kicked him out of the house.
[00:11:26] [SPEAKER_02]: He's out in the cold and he's like, dad, please let me go home.
[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_02]: And his dad wouldn't let him come home.
[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_02]: So that how can you leave me standing out in the cold?
[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_02]: So there's a lot of truth and a lot of him wrapped up into the movie.
[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_02]: But I think a lot of the violence and the cheesiness, they rewrote the script.
[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_02]: So it wasn't originally his idea.
[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_02]: They said some of the sex scenes were worse.
[00:11:52] [SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of hard to believe.
[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Then this is this is this is an interesting feel.
[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_00]: It really is before we get into, you know, more of the film,
[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I want to talk a little bit more about this prince versus Michael Jackson of it
[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_00]: off because it seems like that is how this all gets started,
[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_00]: how we end up with purple rain.
[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_00]: But Prince and Michael Jackson have a storied rivalry that from what I can
[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_00]: tell goes back to, you know, like you said, around the time
[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_00]: where thriller was going on.
[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_00]: I think that was another another big moment between the two of them.
[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Actually, so another fun fact he offered was it Prince?
[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_02]: He offered him the opposite of.
[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah.
[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm rolling back and turned it down.
[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like I'm not about to let you pump my ass.
[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Michael says your butt is mine.
[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_00]: And Prince is like.
[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_00]: And from there, I mean, there's just so many other accounts of just
[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Prince and Michael Jackson back and forth.
[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_00]: I've heard the stories of Prince calling Michael Camille to his face,
[00:12:56] [SPEAKER_00]: like which is weird, huh?
[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Like have you ever heard that story?
[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_00]: No, tell me that story.
[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think they said that I think it was Quincy Jones.
[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I found an article where Quincy Jones was talking about.
[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Like they invited Prince over to Michael's house at Havenhurst
[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_00]: and he came in and he had an oversized coat on.
[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_00]: He had a big white box labeled Camille and he called Michael Camille
[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_00]: and then he said the box had all kinds of stuff.
[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Some cuff links with tootsie rolls, you know, and Michael was scared to death.
[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_00]: He thought there were some voodoo in there and he wanted to take it
[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_00]: because he like Quincy Jones thought that Michael was going to throw it away.
[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_00]: So he wanted to take the box and he also said that Prince tried
[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_00]: to run Michael Jackson over with his limousine.
[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_00]: He said, you knew like Michael knows that he was there.
[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_00]: And so he's like, hey, like Prince is actively targeting Michael Jackson.
[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Now, obviously there's conflicting reports on both sides.
[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I think Prince accused Michael Jackson of sabotaging his guitar once
[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_00]: in this famous clip from James Brown.
[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's why he's upset.
[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_02]: He wasn't actually supposed to go on stage.
[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_02]: He wasn't ready.
[00:14:00] [SPEAKER_02]: He didn't know they were going to call him and he got on stage
[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_02]: and didn't know what to do.
[00:14:04] [SPEAKER_02]: And they were playing in a key that he couldn't play in.
[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_02]: So he was just like bling bling, like playing two things.
[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_02]: He's really embarrassed.
[00:14:10] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think
[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_02]: I think Michael Jackson really was just trying to show him some love.
[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And Prince took that embarrassment and stayed petty about it for the rest of his life.
[00:14:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think so too.
[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, like I said, even like I guess I've heard tales of a ping pong incident
[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_00]: where I think he hit Michael Jackson where the sun don't shine.
[00:14:32] [SPEAKER_00]: And there was a moment and it didn't work out too well.
[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_00]: So these two have been, you know, at least competing amongst themselves for a very long time.
[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, due to thriller and then obviously purple rain in the movie,
[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_00]: we do get some very iconic moments in music and entertainment history.
[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_00]: So let's talk about the movie, you know,
[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_00]: because I did I did see your outlawed about like some of the cool things
[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_00]: about the club scenes and some of these other cameos that we get in here.
[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_00]: The plot of purple rain for the people who might not have seen it.
[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_00]: It's it's a wild one.
[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a plot. It's a plot.
[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a story of Prince known as the kid.
[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_00]: He is a musician who seems to be kind of on the bubble, you know, like he has some hits.
[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_00]: People like appreciate his music, but it's very much his music.
[00:15:27] [SPEAKER_00]: He wants to do it his way.
[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_00]: He's not necessarily giving it to what other people want, including his band members who are begging him.
[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Let us do other music. Let us do other stuff.
[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_00]: It seems like people like he's still jamming, like he's still doing the Prince hits
[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_00]: that we know and love, but it's just not really hit it in the movie
[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_00]: like you would think it would the people in the club or like Prince,
[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_00]: you've got to change it up, kid. You got to do things differently.
[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_00]: And in the meantime, he's having this very interesting love story
[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_00]: with who we know as Apollonia.
[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. And so they make their way through the film.
[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_00]: There's a Will They Won't They?
[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of what should be red flags to say Apollonia, run away, run away,
[00:16:06] [SPEAKER_00]: very run far away, but some somehow the two of them overcome the odds
[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_00]: and end up having somewhat of a relationship.
[00:16:17] [SPEAKER_00]: While the kid ultimately decides, hey, maybe I should listen to other people
[00:16:22] [SPEAKER_00]: and try other music, giving us our, you know, big show stopping moment
[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_00]: with the performance of Purple Rain at the very end.
[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. And then throughout that, we of course, explore a lot of Prince's
[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_00]: other demons and the story of the kid and his personal life as well.
[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_00]: And so that's pretty much Purple Rain, but there's so much to unpack
[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_02]: with all of that. Yes. Yes. Yes.
[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_02]: We start the movie with Apollonia running from a cab.
[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's so funny. So she's a she's a young 19 year old beautiful
[00:16:55] [SPEAKER_02]: starlet. She's looking for her shot and she goes to this club
[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_02]: and she bumps into a waitress and she's like, hey, I need a job.
[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_02]: And the waitress is like, cool, I'll take your information.
[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_02]: And then the movie starts like.
[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Pretty much there's no application.
[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_00]: There were no references.
[00:17:12] [SPEAKER_00]: I think she wrote it down like a napkin like, oh, yeah,
[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_00]: here's a notepad. We'll call you, you know, and with a movie opens
[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_00]: with basically a full ass seven minute performance of Let's Go Crazy.
[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Did you in a real time?
[00:17:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Did you realize how much of this movie is just music
[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_00]: and actually not plot at all?
[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Probably not a real time. No, yeah, probably not a real time.
[00:17:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but watching it this time, how tired I was.
[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I love these songs, but damn, where is the movie going to start?
[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, there's a lot of just like, hey, let's stop down because
[00:17:47] [SPEAKER_00]: this is like you call it a rock opera.
[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's probably the best way to describe it because
[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_00]: like if it was a musical, I think musicals more feel like they
[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_00]: like the storyline and the music in the song.
[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Right, exactly. Breaking the song.
[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_00]: The people kind of break the the characters of B in the song,
[00:18:05] [SPEAKER_00]: the background is dancing along with you.
[00:18:07] [SPEAKER_00]: But this is really like any time we can get a chance to get
[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_00]: print on stage to let him perform his hits.
[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_00]: He's he's going to do the hits.
[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_00]: And so it is Let's Go Crazy that we start the film off with.
[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Right? Yes. Yes.
[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes. And so Apollonia gets her job application.
[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_00]: She doesn't have a phone.
[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_00]: And so I'm not really quite sure how they were able to contact her.
[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Wasn't necessary.
[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_02]: She didn't end up getting the job anyway.
[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_02]: No, not at all.
[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_02]: But she met Prince.
[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_02]: She did. She did.
[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think he's doing his solo and she was like.
[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Felt in love. Yeah.
[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_00]: And but what did she fall in love with?
[00:18:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Because Prince is like, is it the music or is it the mystery?
[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Because I think for me, a lot of their love story
[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_00]: throughout this film is just him kind of like being either
[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_00]: off putting a rule to her a little bit and then just being like,
[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_00]: all right, girl, come on, you got Let's Go.
[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_00]: And she'd be like, all right, daddy.
[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, like she doesn't put up no fight.
[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_00]: She don't actually make any type of emotional connection.
[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_00]: It's all just stairs and mystery and purple, you know?
[00:19:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I think I think it's so taking the to to context, he's five foot
[00:19:12] [SPEAKER_02]: two right in real life.
[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_02]: He's he's my height and but he's up there.
[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know. It's something about playing the guitar.
[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_02]: And again, especially the electric guitar, because you can,
[00:19:25] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, and it's powerful.
[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that's what it is.
[00:19:29] [SPEAKER_02]: It does it for me.
[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_00]: So if you've never seen Prince play the guitar,
[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_00]: stop what you're doing right now and go watch this movie.
[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, you know, Prince Prince, he plays the guitar like no one else.
[00:19:40] [SPEAKER_00]: I think he makes it look like you called it sexy.
[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_00]: But I think sexual is a definitely a good example of a good word of what he does
[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_00]: because the guitar, it becomes a penis at some point.
[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?
[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_00]: And then sometimes it's a mouth and sometimes it's other things.
[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, the guitar is doing a whole lot.
[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_00]: And whatever it is, it just it.
[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Apollonia, she has good sense, I'm sure.
[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_00]: But the guitar is just superseding all of that, you know?
[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, yes, like the good sense is out of the way.
[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_00]: The moment Prince starts to play that guitar.
[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, she's she's done for.
[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_02]: She's done for it.
[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_02]: But he refuses to talk to her.
[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_02]: He just looks at her and then disappears.
[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's enough.
[00:20:19] [SPEAKER_00]: And he's like Batman, you know, there's there's moments where she sees him
[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_00]: and then she blinks and then he's gone.
[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_00]: All right, all right, look, I can see the appeal, you know,
[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_00]: like it's because it feels like very Batman is like you shouldn't follow this
[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_00]: man into the dark corner. No, no.
[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_00]: But if you did it, I don't think anybody
[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_00]: will really hold against you like you can never tell the story.
[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, you can't tell your friends.
[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there was this little short dude on the stage playing a guitar
[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_00]: and then he kind of winked at me and then disappeared.
[00:20:44] [SPEAKER_00]: And so I feel I figured why don't I just invite him to my home?
[00:20:47] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I really don't think that's something you can share.
[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_00]: But one of those also like you look back and kind of like it's an experience,
[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_02]: you know? Yeah. And again, she was she was 19.
[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_02]: So she might have had that comment, you know.
[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but we need we need everybody to be a lot safer.
[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't do like if someone does you like this, don't do that.
[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't do that. None of this is OK.
[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Also not OK. More is day.
[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_02]: What is your experience with more is day and the time?
[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_02]: So again, Prince Household and he was part of Princess Crew.
[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_02]: So I grew up listening to more.
[00:21:18] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like when I'm watching the movie, I can see my dad doing it like doing the
[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_02]: little yeah, I can see my dad doing it.
[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, listen to a lot of more is day two.
[00:21:27] [SPEAKER_02]: There wasn't as many songs as Prince, obviously, but they definitely grew up.
[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_02]: But in the movie, they are rivals.
[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_02]: They are part of a regular rotation in this club.
[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And they both are like wanting to be the star of the club.
[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And so they kind of don't like each other.
[00:21:43] [SPEAKER_02]: They're constantly going back and forth musically, kind of.
[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of like it's almost I don't know.
[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_00]: So more is day to me is a very interesting villain because
[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_00]: you get a good hate in the more is day very early on in this movie.
[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, like I always saw more is day music was good.
[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_00]: But if you take for a face at face value, what Purple Rain does
[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_00]: to the appearance of more is day, I like, all right, we can't trust this man.
[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_00]: He's to get rid of the kid.
[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't like him.
[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_00]: He's kind of like acknowledging that, OK, he's there.
[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_00]: But more is day is very like self serving, right?
[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, bring up.
[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_00]: He wants to bring up a girl group.
[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_00]: He also is a lot of a womanizer in this more is day kind of sucks.
[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_00]: Not going to lie to you.
[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, very much, very much, especially watching it back now through a different lens.
[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, oh, this movie didn't age age well.
[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_02]: But but it was funny back then.
[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_02]: But there's a scene in particular that stuck out to me.
[00:22:47] [SPEAKER_02]: There's a moment where him and his sidekick Jerome are walking down the street
[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_02]: and this girl confronts Morris and Jerome picks her up and literally
[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_02]: throws this woman in the trash.
[00:22:59] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm like, oh, oh, yeah.
[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't like it.
[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't like it.
[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_00]: It's very it's very pimp coded, you know, like,
[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_00]: like it's like, oh, this I can't be bothered with this with this woman.
[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, obviously has had some type of sexual
[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_00]: relationship with Morris Day, but he's kind of like get her away from me.
[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, and so Jerome, his hired muscle is like, OK, got a gotcha boss.
[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_00]: And so he did like kind of picks her up, tosses her in a dumpster.
[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_00]: And then they run off and, you know, throughout Morris Day is going to have
[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_00]: eyes for Apollonia, but I saw a lot of other women.
[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_00]: He's like, I want perfection.
[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_00]: I need these asses wiggling and jiggling.
[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, yeah.
[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_02]: And so I love putting together the group with the two girls.
[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_02]: But he wants Apollonia, the new girl in town, but eyes for Prince.
[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_02]: So he's got to try to get her away from him.
[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it starts a whole jealous penis measuring contest through the rest.
[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, definitely a pissing contest for sure.
[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_00]: And you said they were beefing in real life.
[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Do you know? Yeah, so I was trying to I read a story and I didn't go back to it.
[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_02]: But apparently they actually got into a fistfight during the scene when at the
[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_02]: near the end of the movie before he plays Purple Rain when they're kind of
[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_02]: scuffling or whatever, apparently they really got into it.
[00:24:19] [SPEAKER_02]: But reading more into it.
[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_02]: And I was watching an interview.
[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_02]: They were like brothers and they just would either hate each other or love
[00:24:26] [SPEAKER_02]: each other. And as we know that Prince is really petty and likes to fuck with people
[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_02]: and Morris doesn't like that.
[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I think I think that's where their beef was, but they would they would go back
[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_02]: and forth a lot.
[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, one of my favorite things about Morris Day in this movie is that he's
[00:24:43] [SPEAKER_00]: so much of a pimp type that he wants Apollonia.
[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_00]: But he also not he's not going to actively ask Apollonia to be a part
[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_00]: of his group or anything like that.
[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Because he said, listen, I need her, but she needs to come to me because I'm the
[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_02]: star and she needs to realize that town.
[00:25:02] [SPEAKER_00]: So throughout we'll see the kid.
[00:25:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I guess the word I can use is negging Apollonia because their love story is very
[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_00]: odd. I remember the scene where she's wearing an ankle and Prince says,
[00:25:15] [SPEAKER_00]: yeah, give me that.
[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Let me have that ankle off your foot and so off your boot and she takes it
[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_00]: off and he takes it and just walks off.
[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he completely just robs her of her jewelry and she's a lot.
[00:25:27] [SPEAKER_00]: She allows him because she's so kind of like that was odd.
[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_00]: But OK, I'll have some more in the whole time.
[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Like get out of here.
[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_00]: She's not safe.
[00:25:36] [SPEAKER_00]: You're going to end up dead.
[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes. And then I've always wondered because she gets it off so easy.
[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I don't know if you noticed that, but just it snapped right off.
[00:25:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:25:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Ever since I was little, I'm like, how did it?
[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_02]: It was meant to be.
[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_00]: He was running.
[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's definitely it's definitely magic.
[00:25:54] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's the thing with Prince.
[00:25:55] [SPEAKER_00]: I think he gives an air of not only mystery, but it feels like there's a little
[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_00]: bit more than what meets the eye.
[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, like he's managed to build this persona of just its prince.
[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_00]: So it makes sense.
[00:26:06] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's like it's that's a very weird thing that's happening.
[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_00]: But because it's Prince, I'll allow it.
[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_00]: As the chaps heels all that good stuff.
[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_02]: All of it. None of it's weird as long as he does it.
[00:26:15] [SPEAKER_00]: As long as Prince does it.
[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_00]: There's a there's a show that I used to watch.
[00:26:20] [SPEAKER_00]: New Girl, he used to come on Fox and it has Zoe Deschanel and a few other guys.
[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I think Max Greenfield is on there as well.
[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_00]: And they have an episode called Prince.
[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_00]: I think it aired after the Super Bowl or whatever.
[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think it's like one of like the longer episodes of New Girl.
[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_00]: But Prince was the guest star.
[00:26:36] [SPEAKER_00]: And you know, Prince doesn't do a lot.
[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he didn't.
[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_00]: And so he came on and the storyline is that they were two of the main characters.
[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Jess and Cece were going to a print.
[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_00]: They got invited to Prince's house for like a party, just kind of like buy one of his.
[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_00]: I think he was driving by or something like that and saw them and he liked their look.
[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_00]: And so he just kind of looked out the window and was like, hey, come to my house.
[00:26:59] [SPEAKER_00]: And so they're like, OK, you got to go.
[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_00]: So they end up going to Prince's house.
[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_00]: And when they get there, I think Jess is having like a dispute with her boyfriend.
[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_00]: And they find like they never see Prince until like the end.
[00:27:11] [SPEAKER_00]: And he just shows up.
[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_00]: And once he shows up, all the mysterious things happens.
[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_00]: He gives her a makeover.
[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_00]: There's like a butterfly that he makes land on his shoulder and then land on his other
[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_00]: shoulder and then I think he cooks for them famously.
[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_00]: He loves pancakes.
[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_00]: I think they play ping pong as well.
[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_00]: So it's like a lot of those weird prince
[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_00]: isms are just put into even that episode of New Girl.
[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_00]: But again, nobody asking any questions because it's Prince.
[00:27:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_00]: So I would love to say I have that same energy, but Prince,
[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm watching Purple Rain and I have a lot of questions.
[00:27:47] [SPEAKER_00]: I actually have a lot of questions for Prince.
[00:27:50] [SPEAKER_00]: You brought up when Doves cry and his background, his family.
[00:27:55] [SPEAKER_00]: We see that if this is Prince's actual, you know, family background,
[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_00]: he had a rough life with his family, considering his dad seemed to be on the abusive side.
[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I cannot confirm whether or not it was true or not.
[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_02]: I heard that from somewhere in the rewrite, a lot of the abuse was personally
[00:28:17] [SPEAKER_02]: from the the editor's family.
[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm not 100 percent sure.
[00:28:22] [SPEAKER_02]: But yes, Prince comes home from the
[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_02]: from the club and his parents are fighting and they are physically abusive towards
[00:28:31] [SPEAKER_02]: each other. He tries to break them apart and his dad ends up hitting him.
[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_02]: And so you learn right away he comes from a very abusive household.
[00:28:39] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's probably where it's showing his pain and his the struggling
[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_02]: musician trope that they love.
[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's tough.
[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_00]: It's tough because we see that the Prince that we're getting the kid,
[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_00]: he's very music centered, but also he's kind of goofy.
[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_00]: He's kind of fun.
[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, like I said, the mystery stuff is very much played in a joke,
[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_00]: a joking manner, you know, like he stole her ankle for no real reason.
[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_00]: It's not that he needed the jewelry or that he was broke or just one.
[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, he's not like a thief.
[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Just felt like kind of just picking on her a little bit.
[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_00]: There's also the scene where they I think they go off to like the lake.
[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. And it's so it's played for fun and kind of goofy.
[00:29:21] [SPEAKER_00]: But then we see that on the other side, he has like a darker side to him with
[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_00]: his family life, you know, and they're playing both those things at the same time.
[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Can we talk about that lake scene though?
[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, let's circle back to the lake.
[00:29:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:29:35] [SPEAKER_00]: So they end up cruising the countryside, him and Apollonia.
[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_00]: He just tells it like, get in the car.
[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_00]: She's like, OK, cool.
[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_00]: And so they head to this creek and or like a creek.
[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it looks like a creek, you know, and he gets her there.
[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_00]: And when she gets there, he's like, all right, cool.
[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_00]: So we still don't think they know each other very well.
[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Right? It seems like it looks seems like the next day from when she got there.
[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Like it's been 24 hours, it feels like because they're in clothes.
[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_00]: So exactly.
[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_00]: It has as much as like they gotten really close and not close at all at the same exact time.
[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_00]: They end up at this creek.
[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's when they start to get to get to know each other a little bit more.
[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_00]: We find out that she's from New Orleans and that she's a singer.
[00:30:20] [SPEAKER_00]: She has dreams about making it as an artist.
[00:30:22] [SPEAKER_00]: And she kind of asks him what she dreams about.
[00:30:24] [SPEAKER_00]: And he's like, will you help me?
[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_00]: No, you want to know why?
[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_00]: No. And he's like, you have it past the initiation.
[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_00]: You have to purify yourself in Lake Minnetonka and.
[00:30:34] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know. It's like, OK, I'm down in strips and takes off running.
[00:30:41] [SPEAKER_02]: And as she's jumping in the air, he's like, he's like, no, don't.
[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_00]: That's not that's not the lake. No.
[00:30:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Like he tries to stop her, but not really.
[00:30:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Now she jumps in this creek.
[00:30:52] [SPEAKER_00]: That is not like Minnetonka.
[00:30:54] [SPEAKER_00]: That is not like Minnetonka.
[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why he told her that she needed to do that.
[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously he wanted her to jump into the lake.
[00:31:00] [SPEAKER_00]: But would you still be cool with somebody that basically took you to the countryside
[00:31:05] [SPEAKER_00]: and convinced you to dive into an undisclosed body of water that you're not
[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_00]: quite sure of but ass naked and then proceeds to try to leave you there?
[00:31:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Because it was a moment where he was like, all right, bye.
[00:31:20] [SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, all right, Prince, you might be able to talk to me.
[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Too much. Yes.
[00:31:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Do you know?
[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_02]: No, he would he would he would need police protection.
[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I think he had done that to me.
[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, to be honest.
[00:31:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but like I said, her dumb ass jumped in the water.
[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I would I wouldn't I would have been like, OK, I guess I don't need your help then.
[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not jumping in this damn water.
[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_02]: But in real life, they really did have her jump in a lake in Minnesota in the
[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_02]: wintertime and she caught hypothermia.
[00:31:50] [SPEAKER_02]: What? Yeah.
[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_02]: So the rest of the scenes, that's why the lake looks so weird because it
[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_02]: looks nice sometimes and then sometimes it looks like little swamp.
[00:31:59] [SPEAKER_02]: The rest of it they filmed in California.
[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_02]: But the first the one time she jumped into the lake, she caught hypothermia.
[00:32:06] [SPEAKER_00]: That's crazy. Yeah.
[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Again, I had a question.
[00:32:11] [SPEAKER_00]: So
[00:32:13] [SPEAKER_00]: one of the other subplots in the movie and I guess it's a subplot.
[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of the driving force of movies that Prince doesn't want to play
[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_00]: anybody else's music like he like his bandmates are suggesting music for him.
[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_00]: And he's just writing them off.
[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_00]: These two women are like, hey, what about this?
[00:32:27] [SPEAKER_00]: He's like, oh, yeah, sure, whatever.
[00:32:29] [SPEAKER_00]: But we do get a lot of other like musical
[00:32:32] [SPEAKER_00]: cameos, there's an amount of there's on stage doing their song
[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_00]: and Prince is telling them like, oh, yeah, I'm definitely going to use this.
[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_00]: But we can tell he's not going to use their music at all.
[00:32:43] [SPEAKER_00]: And they're saying that he's paranoid, you know?
[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_00]: And then he like he makes people feel bad.
[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_00]: He's a jerk and it's very clear that although we love Prince,
[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_00]: this person, this version of Prince, he's not a great guy.
[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_00]: It kind of sucks.
[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, he does not, which is weird.
[00:32:59] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's why I said it's weird about the plot of the movie.
[00:33:02] [SPEAKER_02]: This is the part where you're kind of like, I wish they would have spent two,
[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_02]: three more minutes, you know, some more lines to kind of explain why he doesn't
[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_02]: want to use their music because music is collaborative as it is anyway.
[00:33:15] [SPEAKER_02]: And if you're playing in a band and everybody's playing different instruments,
[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_02]: people are going to bring different ideas to the table.
[00:33:20] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's super weird just as a plot point that he doesn't want to like use
[00:33:24] [SPEAKER_02]: their music because why not?
[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_02]: But that's what the movie is.
[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, so he doesn't want to use their music and for it could be from his father.
[00:33:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe you learn later that his father didn't want to share his music with his dad.
[00:33:39] [SPEAKER_02]: So maybe he learned it from his dad.
[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Not sure they weren't really dealing with copyright back then.
[00:33:44] [SPEAKER_02]: You know what I'm saying?
[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_02]: With the credit.
[00:33:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_02]: They didn't do a good job explaining why he did not want to.
[00:33:50] [SPEAKER_02]: But he desperately did not want to play their music.
[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Right.
[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_00]: He also has a little like it's not magic.
[00:33:57] [SPEAKER_00]: A ball is a toy monkey that he just kind of like, hey, do I need to listen to this
[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_00]: music and toy monkeys like no.
[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, Prince, I don't know.
[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what we're doing here.
[00:34:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully that's not taken.
[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_00]: There's no truth in that, I hope.
[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_02]: So wait, hold on real fast.
[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_02]: So so off topic.
[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Is that where you got the Puyah and Amon voice from?
[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Because you watch.
[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Like Puyah.
[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe honestly maybe.
[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Now that you're saying it, that's your.
[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm a man.
[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Amon accepted that into myself.
[00:34:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that's where you got it from.
[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Look at Lee Prince influencing you from beyond the grave.
[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, God, honestly, it's probably not the first time.
[00:34:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you know, he actually sits down and he listens to the music.
[00:34:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Eventually I pops in the cassette like, let me see what they want.
[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_00]: And he does look like he's intrigued by it.
[00:34:47] [SPEAKER_00]: But like you said, the movie doesn't really talk about why he just won't
[00:34:51] [SPEAKER_00]: give this other sound a chance.
[00:34:54] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, it sounds good to him, but he's not able to open himself up to other
[00:34:59] [SPEAKER_00]: people's music. Him and Morris, they are very similar in that way.
[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Morris Day, throughout the saying, he's the star.
[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_00]: He needs to be front row and center.
[00:35:07] [SPEAKER_00]: And in a way, Prince is doing that too.
[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_02]: True. But Prince doesn't have a Jerome to pull out a mirror any time he needs one.
[00:35:16] Yeah.
[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Jerome Morris Day is a character in this.
[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_00]: I like when he goes to to Apollonia and he's trying to impress her at the at the
[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_00]: club and he's like, oh, baby, whatever you need, I'll pay for it.
[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_00]: No worries. And so the waitress comes and takes the order.
[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_00]: He's like, yeah, baby, keep the change.
[00:35:36] [SPEAKER_00]: And then he looks over to Jerome like, hey, go get my change.
[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_00]: You know,
[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_02]: he's talking about, I got a brass waterbed and an Italian cook.
[00:35:46] [SPEAKER_02]: No, bro, you live like above a grocery store or something.
[00:35:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes. Also, until you make it, I guess, I guess he was the king of that shit.
[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. It was the 80s, but a brass waterbed though.
[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_00]: So where do waterbed still exist?
[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Could I buy a waterbed today?
[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I hope not.
[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_00]: But I feel like they have like a very small window of relevance.
[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_00]: And now do the new kids, do they even know about waterbed?
[00:36:15] [SPEAKER_00]: If you show.
[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, thanks. So one of these 90s, 2000 baby like a 2000s baby like, hey,
[00:36:20] [SPEAKER_00]: you were born in 07.
[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_00]: There's a thing called waterbeds.
[00:36:24] [SPEAKER_00]: What do you think they look like they're awful for your back?
[00:36:28] [SPEAKER_00]: I've been in a waterbed.
[00:36:29] [SPEAKER_00]: I was a kid, you know, and I thought it was the most fun thing of all time.
[00:36:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. I didn't actually sleep.
[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I was like on a regular basis in the waterbed.
[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I just I played around it.
[00:36:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, I hope not.
[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_02]: But I would love if they invented and this is the stoner in me talking.
[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_02]: But instead of a hammock where you have to like swing yourself like an adult baby
[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_02]: swing, but as a bed like it is just a rocky to sleep.
[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_02]: But as a bed that just kind of does this.
[00:36:54] [SPEAKER_02]: So you just, you know, I want one so bad.
[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Don't steal my idea if anybody can make that.
[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_00]: If you're looking at this and you still have the idea how dare you.
[00:37:01] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, Zinn.
[00:37:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Give me some give me some royalties or whatever.
[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, every time I lay down, I'm I was wanting to adult baby swing bed.
[00:37:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Way better than a waterbed.
[00:37:11] [SPEAKER_00]: But I would like to see a waterbed in my, you know, before I go, you know,
[00:37:15] [SPEAKER_00]: like while I'm still here, I would love to see what they did with all the old
[00:37:18] [SPEAKER_00]: waterbeds. I'm imagining there's like a waterbed compound, you know,
[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_00]: where people ship their waterbed to could you get just throw them away?
[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_00]: No, they were heavy.
[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly. So someone had to come and remove the waterbed.
[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know where they all went, but I'm sure they're all out in
[00:37:32] [SPEAKER_00]: some warehouse or something like that.
[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Just collecting those, bring back the waterbeds.
[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_00]: I say bring them back.
[00:37:37] [SPEAKER_00]: But also if somebody invites you into a waterbed, that's a red flag.
[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_00]: You must run. You must run away.
[00:37:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes. Yes. Run run fast.
[00:37:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Run fast.
[00:37:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes. What is your favorite performance throughout the movie
[00:37:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Purple Rain because I love the beautiful ones.
[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, that's beautiful.
[00:37:54] [SPEAKER_00]: It stands out to me.
[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_02]: As far as performances, yes, I love the beautiful.
[00:37:58] [SPEAKER_02]: But I love darling Nikki too.
[00:38:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. The darling Nikki performance is fun.
[00:38:05] [SPEAKER_00]: I guess we I guess we could kind of jump around a little bit.
[00:38:07] [SPEAKER_00]: But the darling Nikki performance is fun because that is what we see
[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Prince and his big moment of it sounds like he's almost like
[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_00]: this is I guess I'm an Apollonia beefing at this point.
[00:38:18] [SPEAKER_00]: And he'd be a mega jerk to her, you know?
[00:38:22] [SPEAKER_02]: It's actually we can go backwards because it goes into the beautiful ones.
[00:38:27] [SPEAKER_02]: He's claiming that he sees her just talking to Morris.
[00:38:30] [SPEAKER_02]: He's nothing.
[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_02]: They're just talking, but he plays the beautiful ones to let her know he's in love
[00:38:35] [SPEAKER_02]: with her and she needs to choose between him and Morris because she's talking to him.
[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And he even brings up, you know, what if we got married?
[00:38:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like, whoa, that's a leap.
[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_02]: But right.
[00:38:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know you and you just maybe jump into a freezing lake.
[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, like we're not getting married.
[00:38:55] [SPEAKER_00]: You barely even talk.
[00:38:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_02]: So the beautiful ones happens and then there's another.
[00:39:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, we can go to the because it.
[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'll wait.
[00:39:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll do I won't go in.
[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Just know the beautiful one happened.
[00:39:07] [SPEAKER_00]: And this is the moment where he lays it all on the line in a way.
[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't actually say any words to her.
[00:39:14] [SPEAKER_00]: He just sings and she picks up.
[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_00]: OK, that was that was odd.
[00:39:18] [SPEAKER_00]: But I'm intrigued.
[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Let's go back to his place.
[00:39:20] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, so she shows him.
[00:39:23] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he shows her his folks and then they're like, OK, well, they're nuts.
[00:39:26] [SPEAKER_00]: So we can't hang out here.
[00:39:28] [SPEAKER_00]: We need to go and kind of bond.
[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_00]: And so they talk.
[00:39:32] [SPEAKER_00]: He talks about being single.
[00:39:34] [SPEAKER_00]: He plays a really interesting song for her, which sounds like laughing,
[00:39:41] [SPEAKER_00]: but it's actually someone crying and he's playing it backwards.
[00:39:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it sounded odd.
[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_00]: But for some reason it did it for
[00:39:50] [SPEAKER_00]: Apollonia and we get a love scene with Prince Apollonia here.
[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's it's odd.
[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_00]: It's a love scene, but even more odd that now that I watch it as an adult,
[00:40:03] [SPEAKER_00]: like now that I'm a grown up, I'm like, we didn't need this.
[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_00]: We didn't have to do this.
[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Mm hmm. Yeah.
[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_02]: No, but they but they needed it in the 80s.
[00:40:11] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, they that was that was why that movie was such a big deal was
[00:40:16] [SPEAKER_02]: because of this, you know, such gratuitous, you know, a sex scene in the middle
[00:40:21] [SPEAKER_02]: with Prince and but it was odd.
[00:40:23] [SPEAKER_02]: It was and by the way, just side note, Prince kissing just looks like no.
[00:40:28] [SPEAKER_02]: No, no, no.
[00:40:31] [SPEAKER_00]: And I understand that Prince is a sex symbol,
[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_00]: but he also gives off the vibe of please don't ever touch me.
[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's and that's OK.
[00:40:38] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, like I don't need Prince to touch me, you know,
[00:40:40] [SPEAKER_00]: but at the same time, I think back then he was such a sex symbol
[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_00]: that it made sense to have a love story, you know, that included a love scene.
[00:40:49] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I think that if it's Prince and he is this sex symbol that he is,
[00:40:55] [SPEAKER_00]: he kind of has to, you know, you got to be about it at some point.
[00:40:59] [SPEAKER_00]: And so I think we saw that.
[00:41:01] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's also another way he kind of separates himself from Michael Jackson.
[00:41:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Although Michael Jackson is also probably a sex symbol in an equal way.
[00:41:08] [SPEAKER_00]: He also gives off a vibe of like, please don't touch me.
[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_00]: And so this way, Prince is able to say, well, Michael can't do this.
[00:41:16] [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think we've ever seen anything like that from Michael Jackson.
[00:41:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that that was just part of it.
[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Excuse me, Prince's persona was just to be
[00:41:25] [SPEAKER_02]: very sexual because he was always like naked and an ass out and very sensual.
[00:41:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And people always call them gay.
[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_02]: So I think he always over compensated with women.
[00:41:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry, my throat over compensated with women and the visuals
[00:41:40] [SPEAKER_02]: of being super duper like sexy on top of the fact that he was androgynous.
[00:41:46] [SPEAKER_02]: He was exploring, I think.
[00:41:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. And it's starting a little bit, you know, because we know that no matter
[00:41:52] [SPEAKER_00]: how androgynous he was, women have never been repulsed by Prince.
[00:41:55] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I think that he universally women are like, no, whatever that is,
[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_00]: it's cool. I'll go with you.
[00:42:02] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll deal with it.
[00:42:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he'll deal with it.
[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_00]: We can trade shoes.
[00:42:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Exactly. It works for Prince, right?
[00:42:08] [SPEAKER_00]: It works for everybody, but it works for Prince.
[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_00]: So we see later on that Apollonia after this, she's supposed to be loyal to Prince.
[00:42:16] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm assuming there in some type of relationship.
[00:42:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
[00:42:20] [SPEAKER_02]: She, Morris approaches her about the band again, because he really wants her
[00:42:25] [SPEAKER_02]: finally, she didn't come to him.
[00:42:28] [SPEAKER_02]: So he finally goes to her and she's thinking about it.
[00:42:32] [SPEAKER_02]: She's like, oh, I really kind of this is a band.
[00:42:34] [SPEAKER_02]: This is an option.
[00:42:35] [SPEAKER_02]: So she takes that, that boot bracelet and she pawns it and she goes and buys
[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_02]: this really expensive guitar for Prince and she surprises him with it.
[00:42:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And this is her like softening the blow to tell him that she wants to join
[00:42:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Morris's band. First of all, this guitar girl, you've known him for two days.
[00:42:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Ma'am, ma'am.
[00:43:01] [SPEAKER_02]: It's been two, it's been two days.
[00:43:04] [SPEAKER_02]: And y'all hook up one time.
[00:43:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, right.
[00:43:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, yeah, yeah.
[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_00]: The witchcraft this man is doing to this.
[00:43:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Because why did you go spend all this money?
[00:43:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Why did you pawn something that you love for this man?
[00:43:16] [SPEAKER_00]: And then on top of all that, when you tell him that you're going to join
[00:43:19] [SPEAKER_00]: Morris's crew, Prince slapped the hell out of her.
[00:43:22] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he slapped the taste out of her mouth.
[00:43:24] [SPEAKER_00]: And I guess because I was like, when I was little, I don't not remember
[00:43:27] [SPEAKER_00]: him hitting her. Oh, he got it good.
[00:43:30] [SPEAKER_00]: And I said, oh, OK, Apollonia, run, run, run, run.
[00:43:33] [SPEAKER_00]: She doesn't run. She kind of slowly.
[00:43:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Slowly leaves.
[00:43:38] [SPEAKER_00]: He said, do I make you happy?
[00:43:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah. Yeah.
[00:43:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't make you happy.
[00:43:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't you like the way we are?
[00:43:44] [SPEAKER_00]: I said, all right, get out.
[00:43:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, she has to leave me alone.
[00:43:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, don't touch me.
[00:43:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but she leaves without the fucking guitar.
[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I just can't.
[00:43:55] [SPEAKER_02]: All this money.
[00:43:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, all this money.
[00:43:57] [SPEAKER_00]: This may hit you.
[00:43:58] [SPEAKER_00]: You left him with the gift.
[00:44:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Because I was like, y'all ain't really break up because if you're really broke
[00:44:02] [SPEAKER_00]: up, you would have said that guitar and we would never hear from Apollonia again.
[00:44:05] [SPEAKER_00]: This would have been the exit.
[00:44:06] [SPEAKER_02]: When she gave him the guitar, he didn't have a gift for her.
[00:44:10] [SPEAKER_02]: So he took he took his hoop earring off because that's like this.
[00:44:13] [SPEAKER_02]: He's like $10 earring and like this really expensive guitar.
[00:44:17] [SPEAKER_02]: So but the exchange of the earring means they go together.
[00:44:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[00:44:21] [SPEAKER_02]: So but she she didn't give the earring back yet.
[00:44:23] [SPEAKER_02]: So they were still together.
[00:44:24] [SPEAKER_00]: They still together until she gets it to she gives the earring back
[00:44:27] [SPEAKER_00]: and he gets that she gets that guitar back.
[00:44:28] [SPEAKER_00]: I guess they married. Yes.
[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_00]: So but this is also the start of what we will see is the Apollonia six.
[00:44:35] [SPEAKER_00]: It'll be this new hot group and the group that potentially could replace the kid
[00:44:39] [SPEAKER_00]: because they only can have so many acts at this club and Prince's Act is the one
[00:44:45] [SPEAKER_00]: that is on the way out.
[00:44:46] [SPEAKER_00]: And so Apollonia six is now threatening to put Prince out of the little club
[00:44:51] [SPEAKER_00]: scene that he's in.
[00:44:53] [SPEAKER_00]: And so I think that's in the next scene where we get when doves cry.
[00:44:56] [SPEAKER_00]: And you know, like you said, a lot of that is really I think a lot of that is
[00:45:01] [SPEAKER_00]: really talking about how Prince was dealing with his father.
[00:45:04] [SPEAKER_00]: Like you said, why would you leave me lonely?
[00:45:06] [SPEAKER_00]: The world is so cold.
[00:45:08] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, maybe it's like just like his mother to bold.
[00:45:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Who knows who knows.
[00:45:14] [SPEAKER_00]: But we get when doves cry and we get this ridiculous montage of Prince
[00:45:19] [SPEAKER_00]: riding through the countryside alone and remembering all the good times
[00:45:24] [SPEAKER_00]: with Apollonia all two days of this relationship.
[00:45:32] [SPEAKER_02]: The time they sat in the grass.
[00:45:34] [SPEAKER_00]: That was a time I made you jump in the lake.
[00:45:36] [SPEAKER_00]: I stole your ankle.
[00:45:37] [SPEAKER_00]: I slept through the time.
[00:45:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Eventually he comes home and his mom is, you know, sick of the abuse.
[00:45:46] [SPEAKER_00]: He's sick of the abuse his mom has been taking.
[00:45:48] [SPEAKER_00]: But we hear the sound of the piano and he sits down and listens.
[00:45:51] [SPEAKER_00]: And he says he doesn't have time to like he talks to his dad and his dad is
[00:45:55] [SPEAKER_00]: talking about how like I never wrote my songs down and I don't have to write
[00:45:58] [SPEAKER_00]: my songs down like you have to write your song down.
[00:46:01] [SPEAKER_00]: And his dad tells him amidst all of this abuse that we see his dad giving
[00:46:05] [SPEAKER_00]: to his mom and to Prince in a few ways, he's like, don't ever get married.
[00:46:08] [SPEAKER_00]: And at that point, I don't even know what story we're telling anymore.
[00:46:11] [SPEAKER_00]: What is the moral of this story at this point?
[00:46:14] [SPEAKER_02]: So the don't ever get married line is the actual biographical part
[00:46:20] [SPEAKER_02]: of this this movie, his father in real life did tell him to not get married.
[00:46:25] [SPEAKER_02]: So for whatever reason, Prince needed to include that line in this movie.
[00:46:30] [SPEAKER_02]: So that that's honestly where that came from.
[00:46:32] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, he should be confronting his dad.
[00:46:35] [SPEAKER_02]: He's like, where are you motherfucker?
[00:46:37] [SPEAKER_02]: And you know, about to go with his dad's ass.
[00:46:40] [SPEAKER_02]: But then he hears music and he's like, music, what is this?
[00:46:44] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, but again, this is another part where I think
[00:46:47] [SPEAKER_02]: maybe only music people get maybe get that.
[00:46:50] [SPEAKER_02]: But like, like his dad talking about I don't write my music down.
[00:46:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Like people that don't play music don't like that doesn't.
[00:46:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Who cares if you write it down or not?
[00:46:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Like it wasn't.
[00:47:00] [SPEAKER_02]: But for him, it was like this way of putting his son down.
[00:47:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I don't have to write my music.
[00:47:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I remember everything and you don't you suck.
[00:47:07] [SPEAKER_02]: So but again, I just.
[00:47:10] [SPEAKER_02]: There's nothing wrong with writing music down.
[00:47:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, his dad does write music down.
[00:47:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he lies.
[00:47:17] [SPEAKER_02]: He lies.
[00:47:19] [SPEAKER_00]: He lies.
[00:47:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Next scene we see kind of kid performing and proving again that he's one
[00:47:24] [SPEAKER_00]: of the greatest guitarists of all time, just watching Prince play the guitar.
[00:47:28] [SPEAKER_00]: It's so much fun.
[00:47:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I love whenever Prince plays, I love whenever like the torches pass to
[00:47:34] [SPEAKER_00]: like the next big guitarist.
[00:47:37] [SPEAKER_00]: I love like I remember when John Bayer made his way on the scene
[00:47:40] [SPEAKER_00]: and people were like, who is this white boy?
[00:47:41] [SPEAKER_00]: But then BB King was like, no, I let him cook.
[00:47:43] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I love moments like that.
[00:47:48] [SPEAKER_02]: So one of my top three, of course, is Stevie Ray.
[00:47:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I will watch a Stevie Ray video 50 million times when that dude pops a string
[00:47:55] [SPEAKER_02]: and they just take the guitar and just he.
[00:47:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh Lord. But yeah, no, the ugly guitar face.
[00:48:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I've been practicing since I was like five years old.
[00:48:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Just yes, you got it.
[00:48:06] [SPEAKER_02]: You can't play guitar and not be ugly.
[00:48:09] [SPEAKER_00]: You gotta make the face.
[00:48:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Gotta make the face.
[00:48:13] [SPEAKER_00]: And so more than Apollonia will pull up together on a business trip.
[00:48:17] [SPEAKER_00]: They need the exposure and Apollonia has a new group that she can't let down.
[00:48:21] [SPEAKER_00]: The kid sees Apollonia in the crowd, but Billy, I guess the club owner says
[00:48:26] [SPEAKER_00]: the kid has been showing out he's in rare form.
[00:48:28] [SPEAKER_00]: And this is the type of carrying on.
[00:48:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I like see from Prince when he performs darling, Nikki.
[00:48:33] [SPEAKER_00]: This moment is like me really sitting at home thinking, damn,
[00:48:37] [SPEAKER_00]: I never made it to that Prince concert because he showed his entire ass.
[00:48:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Not literally.
[00:48:42] [SPEAKER_00]: It's Prince because you got to.
[00:48:44] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you got to be specific.
[00:48:46] [SPEAKER_00]: You got to be specific because you might think, OK, the Prince
[00:48:49] [SPEAKER_00]: gonna give us some but some but action in the in the movie.
[00:48:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Not necessarily, but he is a very sexually charged, but like aggressive
[00:48:58] [SPEAKER_00]: music performance from Prince.
[00:49:00] [SPEAKER_00]: This to me feels like Prince the musical, you know, there there.
[00:49:04] [SPEAKER_00]: That moment is where I'm like, all right,
[00:49:06] [SPEAKER_00]: he's talking through the music, communicating with Apollonia.
[00:49:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Morris Day is over there pissed.
[00:49:11] [SPEAKER_00]: He's humping and jirating.
[00:49:13] [SPEAKER_00]: And this makes Apollonia storm out.
[00:49:17] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, all right, now they're about to have the big fight
[00:49:20] [SPEAKER_00]: where they come together.
[00:49:21] [SPEAKER_00]: And in a weird way, it's not even that big of a fight.
[00:49:23] [SPEAKER_00]: It's just that moment Prince chasing after her.
[00:49:26] [SPEAKER_00]: And then this tantrum that he ends up throwing.
[00:49:31] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, this song darling, Nikki, if you listen to the lyrics,
[00:49:34] [SPEAKER_02]: he's basically shaming her for sleeping with him.
[00:49:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Mm hmm. Throwing that out there is because it's bad that she did it.
[00:49:41] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, so after her big performance, because she came there to, you know,
[00:49:47] [SPEAKER_02]: perform, so she does her big performance and her and Morris have been drinking
[00:49:52] [SPEAKER_02]: and it looks like Morris is trying to take her home.
[00:49:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And Prince comes out like Batman on his on his motorcycle and is like, get on
[00:49:59] [SPEAKER_02]: and they go and they need to talk.
[00:50:01] [SPEAKER_02]: She's drinking. He smacks her alcohol bottle.
[00:50:04] [SPEAKER_02]: She smacks him.
[00:50:05] [SPEAKER_02]: He hits her and then she takes the earring finally and throws it on the ground.
[00:50:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Like we don't go together anymore.
[00:50:13] [SPEAKER_02]: So that that one, that finally did it was that night.
[00:50:16] [SPEAKER_00]: He also tried to run Morris day over with his motorcycle.
[00:50:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I think he actually did run him over with his motorcycle.
[00:50:21] [SPEAKER_00]: He hit him.
[00:50:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Which which again, if you're paying attention and they say he tried
[00:50:28] [SPEAKER_00]: to run over Michael Jackson with his limousine, I have to believe it.
[00:50:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I believe it.
[00:50:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I believe it.
[00:50:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, him and Apollonia zoom off under the night sky.
[00:50:38] [SPEAKER_00]: They start pushing and slapping each other and all this stuff.
[00:50:41] [SPEAKER_00]: And she dares if you're like just be my ass. It's fine.
[00:50:45] [SPEAKER_00]: So I think he realizes the monster he looks like before she throws
[00:50:49] [SPEAKER_00]: the earring off and heads out back at home.
[00:50:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Of course, his family is still, you know, still bad, still bad.
[00:50:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Actually, this is a really bad fight.
[00:50:59] [SPEAKER_02]: He looks around, there's glass, there's there's broken things all over the house.
[00:51:04] [SPEAKER_02]: So he's looking like, oh, shit, this one's this is bad.
[00:51:08] [SPEAKER_02]: And so he wants to go find his dad.
[00:51:10] [SPEAKER_02]: He goes down to the basement.
[00:51:12] [SPEAKER_02]: He clicks on the light and boom, he hears a gunshot.
[00:51:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[00:51:17] [SPEAKER_00]: And there's a lot of trauma here, you know, just for him because we see that
[00:51:22] [SPEAKER_00]: his dad, I mean, they don't show it, but we're led to believe
[00:51:25] [SPEAKER_00]: his dad ends up shooting himself.
[00:51:29] [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, this is that this throws the kid into another fit.
[00:51:33] [SPEAKER_00]: He goes into breaking the room apart.
[00:51:35] [SPEAKER_00]: He's tearing everything apart.
[00:51:36] [SPEAKER_00]: He's showing frustration at what his life is.
[00:51:39] [SPEAKER_00]: And he only stops when he finds the sheet music because
[00:51:43] [SPEAKER_00]: it is that stuff for a man who doesn't write down his music.
[00:51:47] [SPEAKER_00]: I don't share a lot of sure.
[00:51:49] [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of sheet music here with your name on it.
[00:51:51] [SPEAKER_00]: You literally signed this.
[00:51:53] [SPEAKER_00]: I think you wrote it down.
[00:51:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Why do you think his dad has been shaming him about writing down music
[00:51:58] [SPEAKER_00]: when the entire time his dad has been writing your music down?
[00:52:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Again, I think that this element of the movie was something that was personal
[00:52:05] [SPEAKER_02]: to Prince. It didn't it wasn't intended to make sense to the rest of us.
[00:52:09] [SPEAKER_02]: But because like I said, in real life, for a long time,
[00:52:12] [SPEAKER_02]: his dad would not teach him how to play.
[00:52:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And so I think that was just him airing out that frustration.
[00:52:18] [SPEAKER_02]: So I think it made sense to Prince is what I think that part was about.
[00:52:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[00:52:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Billy, the club owner even had come to the kid at some point and said, hey,
[00:52:28] [SPEAKER_00]: your stuff is not moving.
[00:52:29] [SPEAKER_00]: You just like your daddy.
[00:52:31] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, you just like your daddy.
[00:52:32] [SPEAKER_00]: And so I think his dad had a failed music career to some extent
[00:52:37] [SPEAKER_00]: and probably wants to keep those things hidden.
[00:52:39] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's like if you feel like your stuff really went popping,
[00:52:41] [SPEAKER_00]: then your kids are asking about you're like, I don't really want to show you.
[00:52:44] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I don't want you to know about it too much.
[00:52:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Just know I was good.
[00:52:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Just know I was good.
[00:52:49] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, the content here.
[00:52:51] [SPEAKER_00]: So Prince will wake up later on in a pile of sheet music on the floor.
[00:52:55] [SPEAKER_00]: He's like music drunk, you know?
[00:52:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[00:52:57] [SPEAKER_00]: We don't actually see him drink anything,
[00:52:59] [SPEAKER_00]: but we do see that he wakes up kind of the next day in a day
[00:53:02] [SPEAKER_00]: because he's going through so much.
[00:53:04] [SPEAKER_00]: We end up heading back to the club to watch more as they in the time
[00:53:07] [SPEAKER_00]: perform and after the performance, Prince's bandmates listen on as this
[00:53:12] [SPEAKER_00]: like successful cohesive group, you know, more as they and them,
[00:53:16] [SPEAKER_00]: they killing it on stage and they're kind of looking on like, damn,
[00:53:19] [SPEAKER_00]: this could be us, but the kid just refuses to give us any type of input.
[00:53:26] [SPEAKER_00]: So after the loss of his father, he finally decides to sing the song
[00:53:31] [SPEAKER_00]: that Lisa and Wendy, the two women in his group, wrote and he dedicated
[00:53:35] [SPEAKER_00]: to his father and this is when we get the title song, the name of the album,
[00:53:40] [SPEAKER_00]: the name of the soundtrack, the name of the movie.
[00:53:42] [SPEAKER_00]: It's Purple Rain.
[00:53:43] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's Prince.
[00:53:47] [SPEAKER_00]: That is Purple Rain.
[00:53:47] [SPEAKER_00]: That is Prince. That is the song.
[00:53:49] [SPEAKER_00]: That song speaks so much to me.
[00:53:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Is this one of your favorite Prince songs?
[00:53:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, absolutely, especially the guitar solo at the end.
[00:53:58] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, just because it's so I mean, it's actually such a passionate
[00:54:02] [SPEAKER_02]: like emotive, you know, like when you're watching it as in all these years
[00:54:06] [SPEAKER_02]: later, it still mesmerizes you watching him play that, you know?
[00:54:11] [SPEAKER_02]: You still feel the emotion of even though, you know, you're like it's a movie
[00:54:14] [SPEAKER_02]: but you still feel everything he wanted you to feel playing that song.
[00:54:19] [SPEAKER_02]: It's one of my favorite parts of the movie.
[00:54:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Is this your favorite Prince song of all time?
[00:54:26] [SPEAKER_00]: No.
[00:54:27] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I need to know what the answer is.
[00:54:29] [SPEAKER_00]: What you got?
[00:54:30] [SPEAKER_02]: So it changes.
[00:54:33] [SPEAKER_02]: One of my favorite performances is his
[00:54:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Prince or his performance at Coachella, the Creep performance.
[00:54:40] [SPEAKER_02]: That's one of my favorite.
[00:54:42] [SPEAKER_02]: One of my favorite guitar solos.
[00:54:44] [SPEAKER_02]: If anybody, if you've never seen this is probably one of the best guitar solos
[00:54:47] [SPEAKER_02]: ever done in the history of ever.
[00:54:50] [SPEAKER_02]: He plays along with Tom Petty.
[00:54:52] [SPEAKER_02]: My guitar gently weeps.
[00:54:54] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a breathtaking performance.
[00:54:56] [SPEAKER_02]: And then say my name is one of one of my favorite Prince songs, too.
[00:54:59] [SPEAKER_02]: But it just depends on what mood I'm in on the day.
[00:55:02] [SPEAKER_00]: No, I totally agree.
[00:55:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Because sometimes I'll say, oh, I love Purple Rain.
[00:55:07] [SPEAKER_00]: But honestly, I feel like that's too easy of an answer for me because I love
[00:55:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Purple Rain because it's this massive hit and everybody knows it.
[00:55:14] [SPEAKER_00]: And it reminds me of the movie and stuff like that.
[00:55:16] [SPEAKER_00]: But when I'm listening to Prince,
[00:55:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I love like sometimes I like going to like a deep cut like how come you don't
[00:55:22] [SPEAKER_00]: call me anymore?
[00:55:24] [SPEAKER_00]: I love that song.
[00:55:27] [SPEAKER_00]: That song is not here.
[00:55:28] [SPEAKER_00]: All right, we chillin when I Prince vibe.
[00:55:32] [SPEAKER_00]: But Purple Rain is probably in like my top five or 10 songs.
[00:55:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I already mentioned that I do love Let's Go Crazy and When Doves Cry.
[00:55:40] [SPEAKER_00]: But that one, yeah, how come you don't call me anymore?
[00:55:43] [SPEAKER_00]: As always, I was going to get reaction for me when I hear that that first like,
[00:55:46] [SPEAKER_00]: no, OK, we're here.
[00:55:48] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, when they could that say my name, that's that's that one for me.
[00:55:53] [SPEAKER_02]: The other ones are guitar songs.
[00:55:55] [SPEAKER_02]: This would say my name is that one run like.
[00:55:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah, that's a song.
[00:55:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, OK, but he has to in the movie.
[00:56:03] [SPEAKER_00]: But right, it is the title track.
[00:56:05] [SPEAKER_00]: It is the name of the like one of his biggest hits of all time.
[00:56:10] [SPEAKER_00]: We will see Prince later on perform Purple Rain at the Super Bowl.
[00:56:14] [SPEAKER_00]: It started to rain in Minnesota was purple.
[00:56:20] [SPEAKER_00]: It was amazing.
[00:56:22] [SPEAKER_00]: And I just I can't talk enough about how I love Prince's musicality,
[00:56:26] [SPEAKER_00]: but also his performance level.
[00:56:28] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, he's standing on the stage in one spot essentially during Purple Rain
[00:56:32] [SPEAKER_00]: and he's singing, and it's just like you just are mesmerized.
[00:56:37] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, it's like I can't look away.
[00:56:39] [SPEAKER_00]: And so this is a showstopping performance.
[00:56:42] [SPEAKER_00]: He's got his tambourine.
[00:56:45] [SPEAKER_00]: He takes about the crowd is like in all of it.
[00:56:49] [SPEAKER_00]: And then, yeah, another good Prince hit.
[00:56:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I will die for you.
[00:56:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[00:56:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not your man.
[00:56:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
[00:57:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Another banger.
[00:57:03] [SPEAKER_00]: So this is it, you know, his dad is it doesn't look like his dad is dead.
[00:57:09] [SPEAKER_02]: So he lives originally he was supposed to die in the film, but they wanted
[00:57:14] [SPEAKER_02]: a happy ending. So he lives.
[00:57:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:57:17] [SPEAKER_00]: This movie forces a happy ending out of nothing.
[00:57:20] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we have nothing.
[00:57:22] [SPEAKER_00]: There's nothing about this movie that says there will be a happy ending.
[00:57:25] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, but somehow somehow
[00:57:28] [SPEAKER_00]: through the power of music,
[00:57:31] [SPEAKER_00]: not only is his dad surviving an attempt on his own life, but
[00:57:36] [SPEAKER_00]: I would die for you.
[00:57:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Apollonia is back.
[00:57:39] [SPEAKER_00]: They're back together.
[00:57:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Which is like give me the earring back.
[00:57:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I need it.
[00:57:44] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.
[00:57:45] [SPEAKER_00]: It's my fault.
[00:57:46] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.
[00:57:47] [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't mean to get hit by your hand like that.
[00:57:50] [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I'm saying?
[00:57:54] [SPEAKER_00]: I apologize to your hand for my face.
[00:57:56] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm sorry.
[00:57:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Sorry about that.
[00:57:58] [SPEAKER_02]: So sorry.
[00:57:59] [SPEAKER_02]: You could have maybe not been able to play guitar because my face hit your hand.
[00:58:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry for that.
[00:58:05] [SPEAKER_00]: How dare I?
[00:58:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, in my notes, all I have is like final scene.
[00:58:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Prince, how dare you?
[00:58:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Because what is this?
[00:58:17] [SPEAKER_02]: So Prince rigs up something to squirt out the end of his guitar.
[00:58:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's see if I have a little.
[00:58:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, we got mine.
[00:58:28] [SPEAKER_02]: So he's doing this and it's like this and he's just doing this and there's shit
[00:58:36] [SPEAKER_02]: coming out the end of it.
[00:58:37] [SPEAKER_02]: We've already talked about how the guitar and the penis and the yeah.
[00:58:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[00:58:43] [SPEAKER_00]: So for the audio only listeners, Camila has a major guitar.
[00:58:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Now hold it up.
[00:58:47] [SPEAKER_00]: So people come to YouTube video, of course, and see this, but you have a
[00:58:50] [SPEAKER_00]: great guitar here with Prince has now added like a device to make it squirt.
[00:58:55] [SPEAKER_00]: And so he will be spraying the crowd with his
[00:58:58] [SPEAKER_00]: juice from the guitar.
[00:59:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Only Prince only Prince only Prince can get away with this.
[00:59:06] [SPEAKER_00]: And only Prince could get away with this movie because that's how the movie in
[00:59:10] [SPEAKER_00]: job, the movie ends with Prince and Apollonia now getting back together
[00:59:17] [SPEAKER_00]: to to go live happily ever after.
[00:59:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yep.
[00:59:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Be Princeton and Apollonia and make music and have little music babies.
[00:59:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[00:59:27] [SPEAKER_00]: And that's it.
[00:59:29] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, literally we don't know if his dad will go back to his mom.
[00:59:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Does the kid move out of the house?
[00:59:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Because that would probably be helpful at this point.
[00:59:39] [SPEAKER_00]: And then what, of course, happens to Apollonia.
[00:59:42] [SPEAKER_00]: We don't really get any other story telling.
[00:59:45] [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I've never thought about this before this moment, but
[00:59:49] [SPEAKER_00]: we probably were robbed of a Purple Rain too.
[00:59:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Probably.
[00:59:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, what's the follow up?
[00:59:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Where do we go with this?
[00:59:56] [SPEAKER_00]: What happens to more is day in the time?
[00:59:58] [SPEAKER_02]: The follow up was under the cherry moon.
[01:00:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't have you ever seen that?
[01:00:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Have you?
[01:00:01] [SPEAKER_00]: I've never seen under the cherry moon.
[01:00:03] [SPEAKER_00]: No, is that the technical sequel to Purple Rain?
[01:00:05] [SPEAKER_02]: No, it has nothing to do with Purple Rain, but it's
[01:00:09] [SPEAKER_02]: it's Prince and Jerome as two gigalos in the South of France.
[01:00:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Sound about right.
[01:00:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Anytime I go back and watch Purple Rain, I have to go watch under the cherry moon.
[01:00:22] [SPEAKER_02]: The music is really good, but same thing plot is is is, you know.
[01:00:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Prince got to showcase his music is with these movies plots or about.
[01:00:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, like other music centered movies.
[01:00:37] [SPEAKER_00]: The movie was not met with critical
[01:00:39] [SPEAKER_00]: acclaim. A lot of people were able to look at this in the real time and say,
[01:00:42] [SPEAKER_00]: this is nuts.
[01:00:43] [SPEAKER_00]: I put in mind of maybe like Mariah Carey's glitter.
[01:00:47] [SPEAKER_00]: But under the cherry moon, one of golden
[01:00:50] [SPEAKER_00]: raspberry raspberry, it won five of them.
[01:00:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Five of them and was ended up ended up winning the war for Worst Picture.
[01:01:03] [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm sure Purple Rain got similar accolades when it comes to the movie,
[01:01:09] [SPEAKER_00]: not the album, because as we know, the album will go on to be one of the
[01:01:14] [SPEAKER_00]: best selling albums of all time.
[01:01:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Over 25 million copies worldwide.
[01:01:20] [SPEAKER_00]: He won the Grammy for Best Rock Performance by Dua Group and Best Score
[01:01:25] [SPEAKER_00]: soundtrack for Visual Media and also an Academy Award for Best Original Song
[01:01:31] [SPEAKER_00]: for the film Purple Rain.
[01:01:32] [SPEAKER_00]: So it's crazy as this movie is, as bad as this movie is.
[01:01:37] [SPEAKER_00]: This is an Oscar winning film.
[01:01:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes, Prince.
[01:01:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Ladies and gentlemen, the purple one.
[01:01:43] [SPEAKER_02]: It only works.
[01:01:43] [SPEAKER_02]: It was the other one.
[01:01:44] [SPEAKER_02]: There was another one that I was like, wow, it got put in like, oh,
[01:01:49] [SPEAKER_02]: in 2019, the Library of Congress selected Purple Rain for preservation in the
[01:01:53] [SPEAKER_02]: United National Film Registry.
[01:01:56] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's part of like our actual documented history is this movie because
[01:02:01] [SPEAKER_02]: there was nothing like it.
[01:02:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Like you said, most music movies are either biopic where we're talking
[01:02:06] [SPEAKER_02]: about their lives or we're talking about or it's a musical somehow and they
[01:02:10] [SPEAKER_02]: bust in the song.
[01:02:11] [SPEAKER_02]: But this one was something completely different that had never happened before.
[01:02:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And even though the plot wasn't, you know, as riveting as it could be,
[01:02:20] [SPEAKER_02]: it still was very significant in just the history of our country actually.
[01:02:26] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's a big one.
[01:02:27] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a big one.
[01:02:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Prince did what he intended to do.
[01:02:29] [SPEAKER_02]: He wanted to beat Michael.
[01:02:30] [SPEAKER_02]: He beat Michael.
[01:02:32] [SPEAKER_02]: And he this is what he wanted to make his commercial success from was this
[01:02:37] [SPEAKER_02]: this movie.
[01:02:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And if you think about it, he he released the album a month before the film
[01:02:42] [SPEAKER_02]: came out so he had the, you know, the buzz from the album already.
[01:02:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And then they advertise the hell out of the sex scene.
[01:02:49] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, and so people like, oh, it's going to be like this pornographic
[01:02:52] [SPEAKER_02]: movie. So there was a lot of hype behind the movie when it first came out.
[01:02:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And again, like I said, I want I want to see it because I like Prince.
[01:03:00] [SPEAKER_02]: My parents are like, hell no.
[01:03:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I get it. I get it.
[01:03:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm glad I'm glad I didn't have to sit with my parents and watch it.
[01:03:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that would have been very awkward, very, very awkward.
[01:03:15] [SPEAKER_00]: The movie had a starting budget of seven million dollars
[01:03:17] [SPEAKER_00]: and it ended up earning 70 million worldwide, which is outstanding,
[01:03:22] [SPEAKER_00]: especially for a movie that has little to no content in it.
[01:03:26] [SPEAKER_00]: And it's also objectively bad.
[01:03:28] [SPEAKER_00]: But when I tell you, this is still one of my favorite movies of all time.
[01:03:31] [SPEAKER_00]: I am not exaggerating.
[01:03:33] [SPEAKER_00]: It is foolish.
[01:03:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I've watched it again recently for this assignment and I'm telling you,
[01:03:38] [SPEAKER_00]: I was watching it with grinning ear to ear, but also flinching it.
[01:03:41] [SPEAKER_00]: How awful some of the moments were in how the movie just ages poorly.
[01:03:45] [SPEAKER_00]: But it doesn't have to age well for me to like it.
[01:03:47] [SPEAKER_00]: It just reminds me of, you know, kind of like my discovery of Prince
[01:03:51] [SPEAKER_00]: when I would listen to Prince's music and I found out there's a movie
[01:03:54] [SPEAKER_00]: surrounding this. I can't wait to go watch it.
[01:03:56] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what it was for me was it watching the movie because I knew all the music
[01:04:01] [SPEAKER_02]: in watching the movie.
[01:04:03] [SPEAKER_02]: It was like the ending of usual suspects where your mind is just blown.
[01:04:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, this goes together.
[01:04:10] [SPEAKER_02]: It makes sense.
[01:04:12] [SPEAKER_02]: He's telling a story.
[01:04:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I get it.
[01:04:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. And man, like I said, it's a wild story, but also the music just
[01:04:19] [SPEAKER_00]: it makes it pop and that's why it gets the accolades it gets eventually.
[01:04:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Prince, as we talked about, will pass away in 2016.
[01:04:26] [SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, it left me very sad.
[01:04:28] [SPEAKER_00]: I remember where I was at.
[01:04:29] [SPEAKER_00]: I was at work.
[01:04:30] [SPEAKER_00]: I was working at a technical college and I was having an appointment with a student.
[01:04:34] [SPEAKER_00]: And so when I came out of my office, I went to the lobby to get the next
[01:04:36] [SPEAKER_00]: student who was in the waiting area and on the TV, you know how you have like
[01:04:39] [SPEAKER_00]: the television in the waiting area so people can just watch it.
[01:04:42] [SPEAKER_00]: I think CNN was on and it said Prince died or like like another.
[01:04:48] [SPEAKER_00]: And I looked at I saw like kind of like the little the little lower third,
[01:04:51] [SPEAKER_00]: you know, just like kind of like the headline Prince dies.
[01:04:53] [SPEAKER_00]: And I turned over to my now late co-worker.
[01:04:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I turned over to her.
[01:04:58] [SPEAKER_00]: I said, Karen, what Prince died?
[01:05:01] [SPEAKER_00]: And I said the Prince of Wales who died and she was looking at me like kind
[01:05:05] [SPEAKER_00]: of like blank face as it is anybody going to answer my question.
[01:05:08] [SPEAKER_00]: And this woman from the lobby says Prince, the musician.
[01:05:12] [SPEAKER_00]: And I turned around and said, I'm leaving and I went home and I just
[01:05:16] [SPEAKER_00]: went I'm sorry, I need to take a person today.
[01:05:19] [SPEAKER_00]: I went home and then I just watched in horror and all the content.
[01:05:24] [SPEAKER_00]: And you know, I remember just sitting there watching them play.
[01:05:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Of course, they're playing all the greatest hits and the moments purple rain is on.
[01:05:31] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm sitting there thinking, wow, we really had this artist who was
[01:05:35] [SPEAKER_00]: able to really immortalize himself in their art in a way that a lot of artists
[01:05:39] [SPEAKER_00]: just dream about being able to write like to be able to say I am so much myself.
[01:05:43] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm literally called the artist formerly known as Prince.
[01:05:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes I'm just assembled.
[01:05:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes I'm friends on the purple one.
[01:05:50] [SPEAKER_00]: He's got so many names and it all lives in his music, you know, and even in
[01:05:54] [SPEAKER_00]: purple rain, the movie.
[01:05:56] [SPEAKER_00]: And so it was just a really bad day for me, obviously.
[01:06:00] [SPEAKER_00]: But it was another one of those moments where you sit there and you look at
[01:06:03] [SPEAKER_00]: his legacy and you get to watch it all unfold right here in a movie like
[01:06:08] [SPEAKER_00]: purple rain and so, you know, R.I.P.
[01:06:10] [SPEAKER_00]: One of the greatest of all time.
[01:06:12] [SPEAKER_00]: He will always be a legend in my eyes.
[01:06:14] [SPEAKER_00]: His music will always just make me feel.
[01:06:17] [SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's one of my things that I appreciate from Prince the most.
[01:06:21] [SPEAKER_02]: He is making me feel and also just his use of instruments again.
[01:06:26] [SPEAKER_02]: I love instruments in Prince with somebody that did play all of his own
[01:06:30] [SPEAKER_02]: instruments a lot of times.
[01:06:31] [SPEAKER_02]: His band was really collaborative, but he would lay down everything and then
[01:06:35] [SPEAKER_02]: have them come play it.
[01:06:37] [SPEAKER_02]: And if they wanted to change something up, then he would let them change it
[01:06:40] [SPEAKER_02]: or whatever. But Prince was a one man, just musical entity.
[01:06:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't even you know, you put an instrument in his hand.
[01:06:48] [SPEAKER_02]: He can play it the day that I found out that he passed actually, like I said,
[01:06:51] [SPEAKER_02]: my dad was a super fan.
[01:06:53] [SPEAKER_02]: So I called my dad.
[01:06:54] [SPEAKER_02]: It felt like an uncle died.
[01:06:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I felt like I lost a family member.
[01:06:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I had to call my dad like, oh my god, are you OK?
[01:07:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Same thing him and Kobe were the only two like celebrities that I like felt
[01:07:05] [SPEAKER_02]: like we lost a family member.
[01:07:07] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. And that's tough.
[01:07:08] [SPEAKER_00]: It's so it's so hard because, you know, no one's here forever.
[01:07:11] [SPEAKER_00]: But I do think a lot of a lot of these musicians and artists, they love to be
[01:07:15] [SPEAKER_00]: immortalized in the same way that Prince is in the music, you know,
[01:07:19] [SPEAKER_00]: where, you know, when they pass away, it's like we didn't know a lot about Prince.
[01:07:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, you know, Prince was not a very public persona.
[01:07:26] [SPEAKER_00]: He had really just got on social media.
[01:07:27] [SPEAKER_00]: I remember the day Prince joined Twitter.
[01:07:29] [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, oh my god, dad, you know, what are you doing?
[01:07:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, people would be at it.
[01:07:35] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'd be like, stop it. Stop talking now.
[01:07:36] [SPEAKER_00]: Leave him alone.
[01:07:37] [SPEAKER_02]: One of the interesting facts I was looking up, remember Napster?
[01:07:41] [SPEAKER_02]: When Napster first started and the whole music industry was starting to crumble.
[01:07:45] [SPEAKER_02]: But Prince was the one that was talking about like, no, we need to use the internet.
[01:07:49] [SPEAKER_02]: And so he actually started one of his own streaming companies where you could
[01:07:52] [SPEAKER_02]: order or order his music straight online.
[01:07:54] [SPEAKER_02]: So he was one of the first pioneers to do that.
[01:07:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And one of the reasons why he went through the name changes is because
[01:08:00] [SPEAKER_02]: he was in litigation with his music company because he didn't feel it was
[01:08:05] [SPEAKER_02]: right that they owned his music.
[01:08:07] [SPEAKER_02]: He's like, how did I create this music?
[01:08:09] [SPEAKER_02]: But you own it and I can't do anything with it unless you give me permission to.
[01:08:14] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's why he was like, we're a slave to music.
[01:08:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And if you hear artists talking right now, they still to this day are fighting,
[01:08:20] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, to have their own music, the rights to their own music.
[01:08:23] [SPEAKER_02]: He also started a streaming service a week prior to Apple music ever starting.
[01:08:30] [SPEAKER_02]: So he actually was the first streaming service that there ever was.
[01:08:34] [SPEAKER_02]: He was always ahead of his time, always trying different things.
[01:08:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that's what I really appreciate about Prince is he just he was just him
[01:08:42] [SPEAKER_00]: and didn't care. He didn't care what anybody else didn't care thought.
[01:08:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[01:08:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Why Purple Rain?
[01:08:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Why did he name the song Purple Rain?
[01:08:51] [SPEAKER_00]: What does it what does it mean?
[01:08:53] [SPEAKER_02]: So from what I read, he said that if you had blood in the sky and the sky
[01:08:58] [SPEAKER_02]: is blue and red and blue make purple, but it's about getting right with yourself
[01:09:03] [SPEAKER_02]: before Judgment Day, you know, basically like like if the world's come into an end,
[01:09:09] [SPEAKER_02]: are you going to be with the people that you love?
[01:09:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Have you said I'm mixing up two different songs?
[01:09:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry, Purple Rain.
[01:09:17] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, about like being with the one that you love if your end were to come,
[01:09:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain.
[01:09:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I only want to see if it goes crazy, be with the person that you love.
[01:09:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Man, that's deep.
[01:09:32] [SPEAKER_00]: That's Prince and honestly, that's Purple Rain.
[01:09:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Is there anything else we left out from the movie that you want to highlight
[01:09:37] [SPEAKER_00]: before we end?
[01:09:40] [SPEAKER_02]: No, I can talk about Prince all night.
[01:09:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think you come to the right place here because I definitely could do this
[01:09:46] [SPEAKER_00]: every week.
[01:09:48] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm coming your way.
[01:09:49] [SPEAKER_00]: I'll recap it back.
[01:09:50] [SPEAKER_00]: The Prince kickback coming soon.
[01:09:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Camille, this has been so much fun.
[01:09:53] [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much for this one.
[01:09:55] [SPEAKER_00]: It's an amazing idea.
[01:09:55] [SPEAKER_00]: But also coming on as our Prince expert and really helping me
[01:09:59] [SPEAKER_00]: further understand the movie that I've seen, that I know and that now I even have
[01:10:03] [SPEAKER_00]: more appreciation for.
[01:10:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you so much for having me.
[01:10:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I said, I hounded him.
[01:10:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, please, please, I have to do this.
[01:10:10] [SPEAKER_02]: This is my dream dream come true.
[01:10:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I said, it feels like an honor to me because this is somebody that
[01:10:16] [SPEAKER_02]: that I've admired for so long in my life and been such a big impact in my life.
[01:10:20] [SPEAKER_02]: It feels like I'm honoring him to be able to do this.
[01:10:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think we mentioned it.
[01:10:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I did do a reaction.
[01:10:26] [SPEAKER_02]: So there it's not out yet, but there will be a video.
[01:10:29] [SPEAKER_02]: So if you wanted to go ahead and relive
[01:10:31] [SPEAKER_02]: purple rain and watch along with me, you can check out my video and see me dancing
[01:10:37] [SPEAKER_02]: and kind of going crazy to the whole video.

[01:12:04] [SPEAKER_02]: don't even worry about following me until Big Brother.
