Welcome to your go-to source for entertainment. Wait for it.
Speaker 2:Gaming. Wait for it, anime.
Speaker 1:PLUS ULTRA. Mr Eric Almighty and Phil the Filipino yeah, they've got you covered, and all you gotta do is wait for it.
Speaker 2:This is the Wait For it Podcast. Hey everyone, welcome back to the Wait For it Podcast. I am your co-host, phil Barrera, aka Phil the Filipino.
Speaker 1:I'm your co-host, mr Eric Almighty, and for this edition of International Feature. I stumbled across a film that took my literal breath away and took my full attention. So I texted Phil and I said hey, we got to watch this.
Speaker 2:It's a movie called Rylane yeah, a film that, eric, you had brought to my attention. I I believe I had seen rumblings of it because the poster looks very familiar, but it came out back in 2023. And it is a film that, when you look at how it was received and how people have reviewed it especially a lot of people that we very much respect in terms of cinema, it is a movie that is held in very, very high regard and very excited to talk to you guys about it here today. So, for any of you that are brand new to the podcast, or if you're a returning listener, make sure you stick around until the very end so you can find out where you can find everything Wait For it podcast related.
Speaker 2:But, eric, as always, let's start off with a synopsis of the movie 2023 release. As I mentioned, directed by Rainn Allen miller. Two 20-somethings, both reeling from bad breakups, connect over the course of an eventful day in south london, helping each other deal with their nightmare exes and, potentially, restoring their faith in romance. So, eric, I want to throw this to you here first. Just kick us off, because how long has this been on your radar and why did you miss it back in 2023?
Speaker 1:So it was really simple when we were talking about what movie we might potentially want to watch, we were talking about wanting to watch something that was like somewhat fun, maybe a little bit lighthearted, and that's because, you know, we just saw Grave of the Fireflies. So that's what got my direction back onto this movie, which is a film back in 2023 that caught my eye for some unique visuals and just very clear onscreen chemistry that was happening, which you love to see in like a trailer for a romantic comedy. It was also obviously something that was in a different location Obviously London, british territory, all that type of stuff. I thought that it might be a good contender, but I never remembered to put it on the list of international feature stuff. So, like all the movies that you might be interested in, it fell off my radar and again, all the stars align for what we were looking for post grave of the fireflies.
Speaker 1:That led me back to this and I'll be honest, phil, I turned on this movie not expecting to recommend it to you because I was like I just don't know. Maybe, you know, it's the first time. I think it was either a directorial or feature film debut for that director and it immediately, visually kind of catches you off guard. It does some different things, I think very you would say experimental maybe, but I think a lot of stuff works. I couldn't take my eyes off of this movie and you may remember that I messaged you about 30 minutes in like, yeah, we're going to watch this one, yeah, we're going to do this one, this one, this one is it, and I'm excited to tell you when that point was. But that's a little bit of an idea of how I got back into it and how my first initial feelings were.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this movie. I think it's going to be a fun conversation towards the end as well, because I want to tell you where this would have landed in terms of other quote unquote romantic films that also came out in 2023. Because I went back and looked at my 2023 rankings, which I only watched 30 movies that year but surprisingly, there were a couple of romantic comedies and romantic comedy adjacent movies that came out in 2023. So I would like to talk to you about where this would have landed if I had seen it back then. So, yeah, if you've maybe missed a couple episodes here, recently we have adopted a new format where we each select three takeaways from the film and then we use those as discussion points. It's been a lot cleaner. It's been working pretty well. We've gotten some pretty solid feedback on it too.
Speaker 2:So let's start there, eric, I'll go ahead and go first when it comes to positives, or when it comes to takeaways, and you just mentioned it there in terms of kind of like the filmmaking and alluding to the cinematography and like the visual style of this.
Speaker 2:It's it's absolutely breathtaking, honestly, and and I think that maybe some people might I don't know if they're turned off by it, but maybe caught off guard. It sounds like you were a little caught off guard. It wasn't this. And and I think the longer you look at this film and the setting of south London, which is its own character, maybe even the best character in the movie just the setting in general it's fantastic. It's got incredible backdrops, especially when it comes to the characters and the framing that they use in this movie. A lot of fisheye and wide angle cinematography, like we're talking about it gives it like a very like childlike, like playful quality. You know what I mean. It's like a kind of a level of discovery throughout the entire movie and again, it's something that I think everybody needs to witness because it's just a delight to look at.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you know I think my first call out is somewhat different, but it really goes in line with yours. So I'll get to that. I'll kind of transition smoothly into my first takeaway, cinematography wise. The fishbowl aspect, like it, is a little jarring at first. You know they're also doing.
Speaker 1:The movie starts off at an odd angle. It's the top of toilet seats, like that's. That's how the movie starts. It gets you right away with. This movie is going to come at you from different angles. It's almost like you're spying on the characters and the day that they're having, which I really like, in addition to the childlike atmosphere you kind of alluded to. I think there's some of that at play as well.
Speaker 1:A lot of the cinematography is, I think, enhanced in the way it works and how it works for the benefit of the film.
Speaker 1:Because of my first takeaway, the locations I love, everywhere this film was shot, listening to some of the behind the scenes stuff, the director really wanted to represent an area she knew very well. She linked this movie to the way someone would look at a Scorsese film or a Spike Lee film of their versions of New York and she said she wanted to provide a version of this area in London that she knew very well, and the movie is almost a blend of imagination or a take of a real area and also a lot of authenticity of a real area, which was just such a nice blend of creating a world within an existing world. It honestly blew me away. It was a movie that I didn't want to look away from the screen at any point because I was afraid of missing some of the locations, and the fact that the cinematography is done in such a creative way also helped me want to keep my eyes glued on the screen.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it looks so good.
Speaker 2:I wonder if you've maybe watched one of the same YouTube videos that I did in terms of the representation of South London and that really really coming to life here.
Speaker 2:I believe the TV show that I love which is called Trying, I think that also takes place in South London and I don't know, maybe because we live obviously we live in the States and it's just so every city is coffee and paste here. There's so few cities with like any type of personality or anything like that and it kind of makes you like long for like an actual neighborhood. Like we're so far away from that now and obviously for a lot of reasons most people keep to themselves, but it just reminds me of like when you do find those hidden gems in jacksonville, like the Riverside Arts Market, you know, like Art Walk and things like that. It just wish, like it just makes you wish you could go to a place like that. And again, from what I understood from that video that I watched, people were very happy and the reviews very happy with how South London was represented in terms of community.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm going to go on two completely separate rants of like thought process that this movie made me feel, which is not something you would normally get out of me. Number one I recently, around the time of watching this I don't know the validity of this, but ran across like a clip explaining why restaurants, fast food restaurants are starting to all look the same your McDonald's, your Taco Bell's, like the way they're designing the buildings, and it's because when they go to sell them, like you know, if you think of the McDonald's with the big ass M, if that store had to be sold, there's such a limitation to selling that. So now we're getting these cut and copy paste building designs to go, for that reason, for like again, if it needs to be sold, or anything like that. On a complete contrast, we're talking about the way this movie looks in the locations.
Speaker 1:It just made me think of AI, like how everything is like being focused on, like how AI is being made. You know Will Smith over here making AI crowds, that type of shit right, there's no world where something like this is ever going to be trumped by something like that. Like that. I don't know why I'm not like passionate on this topic, but I thought about that with this film. It was just like the way this thing is authentic about the locations and the style, like AI could never. Ai could never.
Speaker 2:That's all, Absolutely not, and even though, like I do think, you are passionate about it to a degree, because we have so many artists, friends, and that's where it comes at the forefront, so our entire circle is creative. So I am on board with you there. Did you weave in your first takeaway or did you want to go to it right now?
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, my first takeaway was the locations. Cool, Um. So you know just kind of to pair it with the cinematography. So not exactly the same take, but it felt weird separating that because, honestly, their locations were so enhanced by the cinematography it felt like a nice compliment to that take.
Speaker 2:Sure, Sure, well, I'll throw it back to you. What is your second takeaway? As we uh, as we do, snake draft style.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. I mean, obviously we're talking about the chemistry that I saw from the trailer being extended into the film and a movie that takes a lot of chances in the rom-com genre. I am not the biggest rom-com guy, phil, which is weird because I won't shut the fuck up about Pretty Woman this year, so it's a really weird place for me to be. But this movie is under an hour and a half and it almost is purposefully dedicated to Dom and Yaz. And when I was thinking of my critiques for the movie, there were some other characters I would have liked to see a little bit more like. The dinner table scene specifically is when I messaged you to let you know hey, this is going to be the movie and it was something about the chemistry of those four actors and actresses. I mean the goofy dumb, like new boyfriend, and the ex-girlfriend and the demeanor. They're like classic rom-com stuff and normally they would be more of a presence in a different rom-com. And when I finished watching the movie I was like I kind of wanted that, but then I realized I was more like catered to that. That's what I'm normally catered to.
Speaker 1:This movie made sure we spent the time with the most interesting people and those two people are Dom and Yaz, which obviously David Johnson and Vivian Opara, fantastic, absolute superstars, which is my takeaway Not only just the chemistry but the superstar quality of David and Vivian in these roles. We've now seen David Johnson in Alien Romulus and we are going to see him, I think, in the Long Walk this year, which I'm kind of interested to see. For some reason, I haven't seen a lot from Vivian Opara since this and that's kind of a crime, because she is equally a superstar in her performance for this movie and their chemistry, absolutely undeniable, which is going to very greatly impact my score for the film in a positive way yeah, we are.
Speaker 2:I guess this will kind of this will also tie into my second takeaway. Is we're so conditioned, like you just mentioned, to what a rom-com is, especially in 2025. You know there have been so many attempts here recently to kind of try and revive that genre and it is two traditionally hot people that aren't going to have trouble finding love, you know what I mean, like we're looking at you, glenn powell and sydney sweeney looking at you, pedro pascal and chris evans, like even dakota johnson, is very attractive, even though she has the personality of, like this dead um blue yeti microphone.
Speaker 1:Okay, stop, stop calm down you didn't have to go there I came off of you and I was like wait, wait, wait, no, no, no, no wait wait, no, I said what I said.
Speaker 2:Uh, so we're just so conditioned to like what a rom-com is like. It has a, it has a witty best friend, you know. It has a, an ex an ex that's going to show up and and complicate things. But that doesn't happen here and, like you said, like in a very short runtime. You like, do buy into what they've built, because I think a lot of people, I know a lot of people will see a lot of themselves in both of these characters, in both Dom and Yaz, and some of the good and definitely some of the bad. So the fact that this takes course over, or like really over a few hours, I think is great.
Speaker 2:Again, I think that's also a kind of a big city type of thing. Like you move to the big city and even though you know South London, I know, has its prejudices and all that kind of nonsense but you move to a big city, you meet, you have a meet cute with somebody while you're bawling your eyes out in the bathroom and looking at pictures of mouths at an art gallery. I'm just also going to put this out here. I'm also I'm really glad we don't have that kind of artistic friend in our life. They're like I'm also. I'm really glad we don't have that kind of artistic friend in our life. They're like come to my gallery and it's just pictures of assholes.
Speaker 2:I will say that I can't even be like yeah, this is really great man.
Speaker 1:I was really down for the mouths. I was like, OK, that's kind of interesting.
Speaker 2:And then when we got to the asses, I was like, oh, all right, I'm the one where you can kind of see the balls. I got you, I got you. Don't worry, ivan, there's a commission coming. Wait, wait, wait, no, no, no, no, no, no. So, yeah, I like that. It bucked traditional rom-com trends for the most part, which we'll talk about in just a moment with my third takeaway. But no, they are fantastic. It's great to hear. I didn't know that he was going to be in the Long Walk and, yeah, as far as Vivian's performance, I mean, even in interviews they have a crazy chemistry which is just like man, they really did nail it here. So it was nice to see again a non-traditional, for the most part rom-com, in an era where they're pumping them out and they're just not very good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, I think that's definitely it, and it sounds like you might have more to say. I'm kind of curious how many critiques you might have of this film, which might be where you're going with your third one. So why don't you take the third takeaway that you have before we go into my final take?
Speaker 2:Yeah, my final takeaway is I wasn't the biggest fan of the ending, and here's my thing, and this is where personality comes into this a lot and I just don't think that Yaz was redeemable at the end, because if someone's going to say that to you, that means they had it in their holster the entire time and I'm not going to spoil it, because you guys need to watch this movie.
Speaker 2:It's outstanding. And I think I didn't buy into the reclamation at the end as far as them repairing what was going on, and I just thought that, like Dom is such a good person, I did buy. I just thought that, like Dom is such a good person, I did buy into the thought that he would, you know, eventually forgive and forget. But, like also, I thought the lesson he should have taken was man, people, people are kind of shitty. I need to like look out for myself, not necessarily be an asshole, because that's not who he is. He's a genuine kind hearted person. But I just didn't buy into really them coming back around towards the end and that's why I think I didn't. I know that's why I didn't give it as a high score, as probably you did.
Speaker 1:It sounds you're gonna be fucking floored, man. You're gonna be. You do not know how much I love this movie. That's why, for the third takeaway, it was going to be more of a question to you, which was how did you feel about the ending? Because, while I don't think I let it affect my score as much, I'm curious what other critiques you might have in the movie for what you might be giving it.
Speaker 1:My only critique, honestly, other than the desire to maybe see a little bit more of the characters, which an increased runtime I think could be dangerous territory for a movie like this. But I think we had 10 more minutes where that could have just been fun. You know I was. I left the movie wanting more, which is a good thing.
Speaker 1:But that ending, when they only know each other for like a day and they're very intentional to make this like a day of these two, and the chemistry and the connection that they make of these two, and the chemistry and the connection that they make it almost felt like a little dramatic, overdramatic, that they would have all this time to have to recover before reconciling, when, like, they took more time apart than they were together, when they were never really together, so it didn't fully land for me, but not in a way that I think left a sour taste in my mouth, which is why I mentioned that. I think this movie, in addition to going along with your take, maybe my final take too, is that this movie could have used a little bit more time, in the most positive of ways, in almost a complimentary way, because I didn't want this day to end with these characters and I really wish we got to see a little bit more.
Speaker 2:It was very and I I think I would have taken another 10 minutes of the movie, but I also am totally okay with the runtime. It was like an extended sitcom episode, like something I would definitely want to sit down and watch, like in you know, you talk about them only really knowing each other, for I mean less than 24 hours. It reminds me of there's an episode of how I met your mother in like the first season, and you meet a. He meets a girl named Victoria at a wedding and they agree to never see each other again after that wedding. So of course the next day he spends his entire time tracking her down and he finds her by the end of the very next episode.
Speaker 2:But like this again, it was just very much grounded in in reality in terms of people that are embarrassed about their past, that they they know that they have weaknesses and they know that they have points of their life that they need to to work on. They know they're easily taken advantage of, they know that they're broken, they know that they've gone through a lot and take advantage of people and let people take advantage of them. So but yeah, again, just because of that of the time that they had known each other, or the the lack of time that they had known each other or the lack of time that they had known each other. I just had didn't truly buy in and honestly, like because of her behavior, it just turned off by that comment by Yaz at the end. So you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, totally fair, totally fair. Again, I think we're both in alliances that that ending could have been a little bit stronger of a landing and that, you know, just affected you a little bit more than it did me, because I was just in complete awe of this film. So I know we're itching to hear what both of our scores were. So, phil, if we want to maybe transition into that period, I don't think there's much of a need for a spoiler section of this episode. I cannot recommend this movie enough. It might be better.
Speaker 2:Watch it.
Speaker 1:It of this episode.
Speaker 2:I cannot recommend this movie enough. It might be better Watch it. It's on Hulu. Yeah, it's 82 minutes.
Speaker 1:It might be better to just make you go instead of stick around, if you're one of those people who like to listen to other people talk about movies that you've never seen, so we're going to make you do that. But yeah, phil, if we want to go over scores in general reception and all of that, a great place to wrap things up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 98% tomato meter score over on Rotten Tomatoes, 85% popcorn meter score. It has a 7.2 over on IMDB and on Letterboxd it's holding strong at a very high 3.9. I gave this a three and a half and I, like you, when that restaurant scene happens, it's like this is outstanding and again, like you said, saying that it falls apart at the end is too strong because the rest of the movie is so good. But it did drop me from like a four to a three and a half because I just couldn't quite buy in to the reclamation, as I mentioned at the end. But three and a half and honestly, if I watch this again and and probably notice some of the things that I'm sure I missed on a first watch, it could go up to a four, but I sat it at a 3.5 right now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's fair, and I want to take the time to mention how important it is to continue to prove my point about this one point scale. So I just want to take an opportunity that my opinion is. I can probably justify a lot of opinions within a one point scale, which is giving you a little bit of a spoiler what my score is. Phil, I had this voice like the fucking Joker in the Dark Knight telling me you're going to break your one rule, like I swear to God, I was going to give this movie a five. I was so fucking close that ending. That ending doesn't do it for me.
Speaker 1:On a second watch I might forgive it. I might forgive it because I love this movie so much. Not only is it a 4.5, it's probably a 4.75. It's that close. It's probably the best movie I have seen. Out of any film that we have covered, that is not K-pop Demon Hunters, if I'm being completely honest, and even then I got to tell you, phil, this is an all-timer for me. I am obsessed with this movie. It's one of my favorite films that we've watched in quite a long time and on a rewatch, this and Banshees are deserving a rewatch, which is kind of crazy, because I just saw this.
Speaker 2:Talk about two opposite.
Speaker 1:Completely different movies.
Speaker 2:Phil, I don't know what my taste is. I don't know either. I don't understand.
Speaker 1:I don't know what that was. I don't know what that was.
Speaker 2:I'm just going to tell you now, though there's a very good chance ryan lane at some point or another enters my top 25, if it hasn't already, and it could climb. So I love this movie. Here's what I say. I will say filmmaking wise. It could be a five in terms of just pure performances and cinematography and music. We even talk about the music. Oh, my god, the music plays such a big part in this.
Speaker 1:How is that not one of our takeaways?
Speaker 2:The music plays such an amazing part in this.
Speaker 1:This is like when Botter failed the hip-hop questions.
Speaker 2:How do we not bring up the music, the music and also the storytelling, how they told the stories of them and the audience? God damn it.
Speaker 1:Start it over.
Speaker 2:We're going to stop doing the three.
Speaker 1:Hey, everyone welcome back to the Wayfarm Podcast. We're going to stop doing the three approach thing.
Speaker 2:The way that they told their stories and shared their breakup stories Outstanding too. So, yeah, in terms of just filmmaking in general, it's probably a five, but story-wise, I knocked it off a little bit. Before we get to where this is on our international feature list, I do want to tell you where it would land in terms of 2023 films that I watched in terms of just rom-com. So they were I'm hesitant to put two movies on here as rom-coms, but they have. They have rom-com qualities. So 2023, past lives came out. Anyone but you no hard feelings which is the jennifer lawrence movie, which is like it's not a rom-com but it's like a relationship movie and ghosted, and this is easily better than all these movies except past lives, and that's I mean. Past lives is easily one of my favorite films that we've watched on this series and also over the last few years, but it clears slop like anyone but you. And even though I enjoy anyone but you, ghosted is terrible.
Speaker 1:No hard feelings was fine, but yeah, this easily would have found its way into my top 10 in 2023 yeah um based and not not quite a rom-com, but the other romance film that I saw that year was uh, hi, nana and uh. This did pass that on my international feature list and, if I'm being honest with you, phil, my top five movies from 2023 that I saw was out of the 25 films I saw that year that came out in that year was Across the Spider-Verse, godzilla, minus One, high Nana, elemental and Oppenheimer. This movie might be one Looking back.
Speaker 2:I'm just letting you know.
Speaker 1:Phil, you're not going to like what happened to my international feature list Because spoiler alert top five. So I'm just letting you know. I'm letting you know I never thought when I pressed play that I would have such an admiration for what this film was doing and what it accomplished. And just from everything, from the, from the. You know the representation in the cast this is how you do. Representation, by the way, from the authenticity, from the mesmerizing explosion of color that is just thrown at you almost like a dopamine hit every time the scene changes. Phil, God damn it. It's so good, it's so good. This is a movie I would go out of my way to talk to people about. I'm going to be fucking annoying about this movie. Move over, pretty woman.
Speaker 2:If only it had Pedro Pascal in it. You know, maybe it just needed a little bit more Dakota Johnson. We really just needed Dakota Johnson. And who's another like boring Nepo? Who's a boring Nepo?
Speaker 1:male actor's and that's like the. That's the thing, right? Imagine replacing vivian uh opara with dakota johnson.
Speaker 2:Totally different movie, no matter how good of an actor david johnson is. I want my tribe called quest record back. That means a whole lot to me. I really love tribe called quest, like Like, do you Are you sure? Also Colin Firth is in this.
Speaker 1:Oh, we didn't bring that up. I wanted to make sure I brought that up. How did you feel about that? I thought that was cool. Did you know what the reference was?
Speaker 2:No.
Speaker 1:He's in Love Actually, which is, I think, a movie we've considered watching before. And he's the tortilla chef of a restaurant called Guac Chilly, so it's a callback to Love Actually.
Speaker 2:Is it the same character?
Speaker 1:No, it's just an uncredited. It's like a tip of the hat to movies that Colin Firth has been in. The director had said that she sent him a letter because she thought it'd be a fun nod and he said yes.
Speaker 2:He said he'll do the cameo, which I think think is just really cool if you like the cinematographer for this and also just kind of the setting of south london, I think you would enjoy trying on apple tv. It's not a one that I champion a whole lot because it is very niche. It's about a couple that is trying to adopt children and it's it's fantastic. It makes you forget how bad Rafe's ball is in Jurassic World, fallen Kingdom, because he's in that Pretty rough.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but as far as where Rylane falls on my international feature list, it is top five. It is number five. It has cleared films like K-Pop, demon Hunters, high Nana, old Boy and it's just below. Only four films for me rr, memories of murder, train to busan and the banshees of inishirin and which is crazy because how much you love high nana? I love high nana. You know there's that one part of the movie which is specifically, I think, the music video that it almost it's just really weird.
Speaker 1:If you cut that out of the movie it's like it's very much I might add Hainana to my rewatches, because if I cry again, I'm definitely giving it a five. K-pop Demon Hunters again I just bumped that up to four and a half. But yeah, the Banshees of Inushaeran and Rai Lane I don't know that it'll clear banshees, because I think banshees is secretly a five and I just keep pushing off my second watch through of it to give it the five it deserves. But fuck man, it's. It's so close and I again fell. I cannot believe. When the credits ran I was like that's one of the best movies that I've seen in the past decade. And maybe not the best, but one of my favorite movies from the past decade.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, don't blame me.
Speaker 1:It's the international feature version of Puss in Boots.
Speaker 2:Take a shot. Take a shot every time you bring up Rylane.
Speaker 1:It's going to get there, I'm going to be fucking it. It was going to be pretty woman, which I also adore. Pretty woman's right here, like they're both. They're both a four and a half. They're right together.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so it is lower, so it is number 20, right behind Tokyo, godfather is perfect days, movies like that, but in front of like nation one Ultraman, rising children, children of men, but yeah, I mean. But listen, you're also talking about a lot of these movies, 17 and up being fours for me and again on a rewatch. It could easily go up to a four, because I will watch this again and I will watch it with people, because it's just that enjoyable this movie is a four.
Speaker 1:I mean I know you're not giving it it, but it's a four. I mean I know you, I know you don't know any better, so I'm just gonna speak to them. I'm gonna speak to future you because, like you're, the only thing you've really critiqued is the ending, and I think a one and a half point deduction for an ending, unless it's lala land doesn't really make a lot of sense.
Speaker 2:You hear what I'm saying well, land has two traditionally hot people and god legend's best friend, I don't know that felt that's what hollywood wants right that felt a little prejudice there. Um, it's fine no, hollywood is not the fact that no one talks about this movie. That's not precious.
Speaker 1:White people and jazz not racist.
Speaker 2:You know who jazz really needs Ryan Gosling.
Speaker 1:And Emma Stone, who couldn't possibly be whiter. If she tried, she literally couldn't.
Speaker 2:She's Chinese, haven't you seen?
Speaker 1:Aloha, she's the sister of Scarlett Johansson. You're saying, right, right, exactly, we've gone off the fucking rails here.
Speaker 2:I was going to say this is where we need to wrap up the episode. We're not going to make it out alive. Go watch Rylane and if you have watched it yourself, let us know what you thought and what you thought of the characters and the cinematography. And yeah, it's just a movie you need to experience yourself. Once again, it's not going to take you a whole lot of time and I think you'll come away very, very pleased that you had given it a shot. But if you're new to the podcast and you gave us a shot, thank you very much, and for all of you returning listeners as well, we appreciate you.
