Emma: You’re listening to The Lovely Mess Podcast, your cozy consolation hear, and this week we’re discussing the film Now and Then directed by Leslie Linka Gladder and starring Christina Ricci and Demi Moore. An oldie however a goodie. 

Elsie: Sure, this can be a great film. I’m excited to debate it. 

Emma: Yeah, me too. However earlier than we do, Elsie stated she had a private opener. That’s what we name these segments and it’s some loopy story that she hasn’t informed me but, so I’m listening to it for the primary time. 

Elsie: Alright, who’s able to be horrified, terrified, and freaked out? 

Emma: Me, me, me, me. 

Elsie: Sure. Okay, good. Alright. So the opposite day I purchased this superior big portray on the flea market ’trigger I had this concept that I may, mainly, it’s like a large portray of a sea scene with a few boats and stuff, and it has the shore and it has a moon and it has a sky. That’s what it appears, and it simply appeared like an old-timey portray with a good looking gold body, and it was actually huge. And so I had the concept that I used to be gonna take it dwelling and paint a bit pirate ship and a few little fairies and a few little mermaids on it and make this Neverland portray, for our visitor room upstairs ’trigger we’re making the sort of like an adults and youngsters visitor suite upstairs. So anyway, I did it and it turned out so cute. So Marigold was simply waking up from her nap, this was simply a few days in the past, and so I used to be like, Goldie, I completed the Neverland portray, it’s upstairs. Do you wanna see it? And he or she was like, yeah, and so we went upstairs. And Nova was nonetheless asleep and Jeremy was downstairs within the kitchen watching baseball. We received up there, so exhibiting her, you understand, just like the pirate ship and the mermaids after which the fairy tree, it glows at midnight ’trigger I discovered some glow-in-the-dark paint. So I used to be like, let’s try the glow at midnight. So we sort of caught this big portray into the closet, barely match, and we received into the closet and we shut the door. And now you understand the place the story’s going. 

Emma: I don’t. Did you get locked in? 

Elsie: Yeah, and it wouldn’t open. And so we have been on the third flooring, and for a second I used to be like, okay, we’ll get it open. I used to be like simply exhibiting her the portray and making an attempt to not overreact ’trigger I didn’t need her to freak out. I didn’t need her to really feel any dangerous power from me ’trigger we have been in a really small area collectively. However I used to be sort of feeling round and it was virtually utterly darkish with a bit hole alongside the floorboard. Slightly, we may see out. And to be clear, the fairy lights did preserve glowing the whole time we have been on this closet, which was quarter-hour. So I began first identical to screaming, you understand, Jeremy, Jeremy like that, making an attempt to get him to listen to, after which it was Nova. Nova later claims that she may hear, however she was too drained to verify what anybody wanted. 

Emma: Wow Nova. Wow, Thanks for nothing. 

Elsie: I do know, and I used to be banging on the door. I imply actually loud. For quarter-hour I might say might be estimate. I’ve no means of figuring out how lengthy we have been in there, nevertheless it received extremely popular. I knew that it was going to be okay, there was by no means a second the place I assumed they gained’t have the ability to discover us. Or they would depart the home with out us or one thing. ’trigger I knew they’d discover ultimately that we weren’t there, nevertheless it took means longer than I assumed it might. Like quarter-hour being trapped in a closet with no cellphone, we didn’t have something, we solely simply had the portray. And yeah, it was the worst, it was the worst feeling ever. So now I want to right away get these locks eliminated off the closets up there as a result of they’re sort of harmful and freaky. Anyway, after a very long time Jeremy heard me screaming after which he ran up there and he was actually sorry and he felt dangerous. 

Emma: It’s sort of far, I’ve been over at your own home, it’s on a 3rd flooring.

Elsie: It’s an attic mainly, and it’s fairly nicely enclosed. So I sort of knew he wouldn’t have the ability to hear and he had a baseball recreation on. 

Emma: Yeah. Actually, I’m stunned he did hear you ’trigger I’m fascinated about somebody being on that third flooring and being down within the kitchen.

Elsie: I sort of was like laying on the bottom, placing my mouth as much as the crack, holding my hand there in order that I may get probably the most doable noise out of the outlet, and Marigold was doing it too, she was taking part. Anyway, that’s our story. 

Emma: That’s hilarious. I assumed it was gonna be both one of many youngsters painted over it when you have been completed, or I assumed possibly there was gonna be a rat within the closet or one thing. You already know, one thing the place you couldn’t escape it. 

Elsie: Nicely, the unsettling factor is this can be a closet that has one other attic door inside it, and I’ve appeared inside it earlier than with Nova and it’s sort of scary, so I simply needed to like flip my mind off to fascinated about it whereas we have been in there as a result of, in a horror film means, it might’ve been horrible ’trigger we have been for positive trapped in there there was no means out. I used to be slamming on it. I couldn’t break it down. 

Emma: Nicely, within the youngsters’s ebook model, you guys bounce into the portray and simply sail away within the pirate boat as a result of that’s the way in which out is into the portray. And then you definitely get to the top of the film and it was all a dream and also you have been caught within the closet the entire time, and your mother and father lastly got here. 

Elsie: Okay, so again to the topic. Anyway, a consolation rewatch, I attempted to look at this film with my youngsters and it was too boring for them. They contemplate it an grownup film, and truthfully, I watched it with Jeremy final evening and it was, it was good. It was enjoyable. It was cozy. My evaluation of it was I had watched it as a baby, after which this was my first time to look at it as an grownup and I might undoubtedly put it into our cozy rewatch rotation. It’s very candy. It does have that feel-good. However I suppose I used to be anticipating it to have extra of a giant story. It doesn’t have a giant story nevertheless it’s fairly chill and it’s fairly refined, I might say. 

Emma: Yeah, it’s, and it has fairly dramatic moments too. So, I had by no means seen the film earlier than. So I first watched the trailer being like, what is that this film that we’re gonna do? As a result of, we’re sort of breaking out of the consolation rewatch, I suppose, since technically I hadn’t seen it earlier than. So I watched the trailer and I used to be like, oh, I feel I’m gonna love this as a result of in case you’ve by no means seen Now and Then, which I hadn’t, it’s primarily a few group of younger women and it’s their coming of age summer time. They’re all like 12, 13, and they also’re sort of rising up. They’re better of mates they usually make a pact that in the event that they ever want one another after they develop up, they’ll get again collectively. They’ll reassemble they usually try this. One in every of ’em is having her first child they usually sort of reassemble they usually’re mainly reminiscing about this summer time that they spent collectively. And so many of the film is simply seeing the summer time when these women are rising up, after which a bit bit, it flashes ahead to love who they’re within the current tense because the grown grownup ladies, and it’s actually candy. After watching it 5 out of 5 ruining the ending right here but when I used to be going to redo it, I might say, I don’t even know if we want the grownup half. I’m like, simply present us the children’ Summer season. You possibly can have simply made the entire film simply the children’ summer time. 

Elsie: Actually? 

Emma: Yeah. 

Elsie: I just like the backwards and forwards. 

Emma: There’s one half the place one of many youngsters virtually dies and also you sort of know she gained’t ’trigger it’s a child’s film, however as a result of I’ve already seen her as an grownup, I do know she gained’t. So to me, it virtually took away this dramatic second. Whereas I feel if it was simply the summer time, you’d be like, oh my God, is that this child about to die? Like, whoa, this film’s means darker than I assumed, and he or she doesn’t. Additionally, a giant bonus to this film, for my part, is that they do a seance and a graveyard a few occasions. And a giant facet plot, which I feel sort of turns into the primary plot, is you’re making an attempt to determine what occurred to this one particular person within the graveyard, Johnny, Pricey Johnny. They’re making an attempt to determine their story, and that’s what the summer time sort of turns into in a means. And I sort of really feel prefer it might be virtually a Halloween film as a result of there’s a lot within the graveyard and like ghosts and It’s sort of a darkish story of what occurred to that household. 

Elsie: Rattling. Perhaps they missed its true calling. 

Emma: I used to be like, when did this launch? Did it come out earlier than Halloween? ’trigger I felt like there have been some spooky components for a child’s film. After which the half the place certainly one of ’em virtually dies like in a drain, and it’s like, wow, that’s darkish. Additionally, when she goes down there, I used to be like, is it about to indicate up since you’re down on this drain, and I simply really feel like there’s about to be a creepy clown any minute now, however there wasn’t. 

Elsie: I hate the drain factor. I simply can’t think about that anybody would ever prefer to attempt to go inside one. It’s completely horrible.

Emma: It’s. Yeah. Nicely, throughout rain too. It’s like, oh my god. Yeah. My reminiscences of first watching this film the opposite evening is I cherished it.

Elsie: Yeah. I keep in mind watching it as a baby. I knew it had Christina Ricci and Thora Birch. I didn’t keep in mind anything about it. Just about. 

Emma: That’s a reasonably all-star solid. As soon as I used to be watching it, I used to be like, Rosie O’Donnell, Rita Wilson. What? What’s occurring right here? Yeah. It’s like a reasonably all-star.

Elsie: Yeah. No, I really like the entire casting. It’s very nice. Yeah. So, okay. So far as decor inspiration.

Emma: Earlier than we speak in regards to the homes can we simply shout out to the gaslight lamps within the neighborhood? The neighborhood is called Gaslight one thing. Gaslight estates, I wanna say.

Elsie: Gaslight District or one thing.

Emma: I don’t know. It’s one thing, and every of the little outside sconces in entrance of individuals’s homes, just like the streetlights are flickering, it’s like fuel lit by propane or no matter. 

Elsie: I really like these sort of lamps.

Emma: I used to be so into it. I don’t know in the event that they’re harmful. I do know nothing about them.

Elsie: Oh, they’re not harmful, a number of individuals have them. 

Emma: However I used to be like, that is so charming. Yeah. I really like these gaslight lamps, I used to be so into that. I cherished that element. I felt prefer it should be in somebody’s precise neighborhood someplace, ’trigger it was actually particular they usually confirmed it a couple of occasions and I cherished it.

Elsie: Sure, I cherished the element as nicely. One in every of our mates, I gained’t say who, ’trigger possibly that is like violating their privateness, however certainly one of our shut mates lives in a, like, what’d you name it? An old-timey-themed neighborhood and it sort of appears like that with the lamps, you’ve by no means been there. 

Emma: I don’t know who you’re speaking about. I really feel like they’re secret, protected as a result of I don’t know who you speaking about. 

Elsie: All of the streets are named after previous authors or books or one thing. I’m making an attempt to think about some extent, in any case.

Emma: It’s most likely like Charles Dickens’s means or one thing. 

Elsie: Yeah, it has like gazebos.

Emma: Shakespeare circle. I don’t know. What are we doing? 

Elsie: Yeah, I feel it’s like Jane Austen and Charles Dixon’s theme or one thing. I don’t know. It’s cute although. Anyway, these neighborhoods do exist is my level. I didn’t have robust decor reactions to this film, I’ll simply say upfront. For me, probably the most nostalgic half was the general feeling and for me, my favourite rooms that have been proven have been for positive the tree home and in addition the grandma’s attic after they broke into the grandma’s attic. These have been the vibiest locations, and I additionally just like the small-town diner.

Emma: I cherished the diner and the psychic’s home. Once they go to get the tarot card studying or no matter it’s they’re doing precisely. Her home was cool too, with all of the beads and the doorways and issues like that. It felt very, It’s the vibe.

Elsie: Eighties meets Tarot Girl. 

Emma: Yeah. It was like a fancy dress. It was like a Disney trip, nevertheless it additionally felt excellent and I cherished it. 

Elsie: Oh yeah, that’s a good suggestion for a Disney trip, now that you just point out it. 

Emma: Like a psychic studying, and it might be like previous, current, future. We don’t must design that proper now. Let’s focus. Okay. So my favourite rooms although, I did love Chrissy’s bed room. She has pink and white stripe wallpaper in her room. That’s the one. Bonnie Hunt’s the mother, and it’s coming and giving her the intercourse speak. Nevertheless it’s not actual intercourse speak, it’s flowers and gardening intercourse speak, and also you’re like, uh oh, this isn’t gonna be useful. And that’s all you’re considering within the film. However the wallpaper appears identical to old style Peter Pan, their bed room wallpaper, like within the ebook. I learn that to Oscar on a regular basis, he loves that one. So I used to be like, oh, that is the Peter Pan bed room wallpaper. It’s not Peter Pan’s bed room, however like Wendy and her brother’s, their playroom, the nursery, it’s like pink and white stripes. And I used to be like, this appears identical to Chrissy’s bed room. That’s attention-grabbing. After which I additionally actually like Teenie’s room. Thora Birch and her character develop as much as be a film star, and her bed room was simply very seventies, groovy, orange and yellow and purple. 

Elsie: That’s true. Her bed room appeared like a modern-day dwelling Instagrammer. It was very vibey and completed out, she had her built-in colours matching her wallpaper and stuff.

Emma: They usually talked about that her mother and father are sort of nicely todo or nation membership individuals, I feel it calls them or one thing. So I used to be like, okay, I suppose it is sensible as a result of her bed room, I used to be like, this can be a good bed room. I don’t know what your childhood bed room was like, however mine was extra like posters tacked up on the wall, you understand? So I used to be like, wow, this room is fancy, I used to be fairly into it and yeah, cherished the tree home. It had a good looking rail round it. I used to be sort of obsessed in the entire film that they stored saying it was like $124 they usually’re making an attempt to avoid wasting up the cash for this tree home. And I used to be like, this tree home price $124. I do know that is set means again within the day, however actually? After which additionally, who’s gonna set up this? Whose mother and father put this tree home up, ’trigger it was like three tales up. It was means up within the tree, that they had like three ladders snaking up there. 

Elsie: They did sort of HGTV a bit bit on the tree home as a result of they stated it was $120 and you could possibly purchase it from Sears. However any individual has to place that package collectively.

Emma: And there’s portray concerned severe portray. Yeah. Not like simply sprayed it. 

Elsie: There was so much happening. It was very elaborate. I’m undoubtedly in my tree home period making an attempt to get my youngsters an epic tree home, so I used to be very invested in that. 

Emma: I didn’t suppose they confirmed the within sufficient both. I used to be very upset. I attempted Googling it later and there wasn’t something on-line both, and I used to be upset. 

Elsie: If you happen to don’t present the inside of your tree home throughout all 4 seasons and the most important holidays, then don’t even make a film about it. 

Emma: Don’t speak in regards to the tree home as a result of Yeah, it’s such as you’re not even exhibiting it to us. God. Yeah, I didn’t really feel like there was sufficient. And on the very finish of the film, one of many characters had her child, they usually’re all up within the tree home speaking and the infant’s up there. And I used to be like, okay no, as a result of I noticed that there have been three ladders to stand up into this tree home. You may have a new child child up there. How did you climb up these ladders with that child? I didn’t consider that half. I used to be like, Nope. I’m not calling it an unsafe scenario. I’m simply saying I don’t see how you probably did it. I don’t suppose so. 

Elsie: You might want to droop your disbelief for that a bit bit. 

Emma: I used to be like, why’d you’re taking the infant up there? Treehouses are the place to flee the infant for a couple of minutes. Depart it together with your mother for a couple of minutes. 

Elsie: Oh, Emma. 

Emma: Anyway. What else? What else, what else? 

Elsie: They’re simply making an attempt to painting the circle of life.

Emma: I suppose that’s true. 

Elsie: Don’t take that away from them. 

Emma: I’ll say possibly the interiors weren’t as, I imply, they have been fairly nice, however there simply wasn’t as a lot of them.

There was plenty of being exterior. They’re on their bikes so much. There’s so much occurring outdoor. So I really feel just like the film’s a bit extra about that. They’re within the graveyard so much, however I did really feel like there was some fairly good trend inspiration on this. I do know we’re following round like preteen women, however I nonetheless was like, I just like the shirt, I like these shorts.

If Madewell was promoting this, I might purchase it, I’m fairly , it was all cute. 

Elsie: Yeah, they have been undoubtedly lovely and I cherished their grownup variations, seeing how they dressed as nicely. It’s very candy. It’s such film. 

Emma: Yeah. Demi Morre’s character, I feel she’s sort of science fiction. She had these braids up on her head. 

Elsie: She was like a brilliant hipster. 

Emma: Yeah, undoubtedly. Sort of a Benik sort or one thing, very emo. However yeah some other inspirations from the film? They do plenty of life classes ’trigger one of many women virtually dies, and one of many women has a lifeless dad or mum. One in every of ’em, the mother and father are divorcing, and he or she meets the brand new boyfriend and that’s an entire second. 

Elsie: Oh my God. One in every of my favourite traces from the film was when she stated, I’ve heard that in a couple of years, 50% of the inhabitants shall be divorced. And he or she’s like, I don’t consider that. It’s like, oh my gosh it’s such a loopy change for our nation when no-fault divorce grew to become authorized. It’s very totally different. 

Emma: Very totally different. Oh, the scene the place they meet the vet who’s performed by Brendan Frazier. He’s a Vietnam vet, and he appears to be hitchhiking, and he sort of has a limp. And they also sort of discuss that he received shot within the wars, I consider what his character says, however he’s speculated to be a Vietnam vet so he’s gotten again from Vietnam considerably not too long ago, I feel, what the film’s telling us. And that complete scene to me was like actually bizarre. ’trigger I used to be like, what’s occurring? This man appears to be like a younger man, like an grownup, and there’s all these pre-teen women and he’s like letting them have a cigarette. On the one hand, I’m like, okay, he’s making an attempt to be pleasant, however alternatively, I used to be like, is one thing bizarre about to occur, I don’t know, my radar was up. 

Elsie: That’s true. My radar was up as nicely. And did you discover that there was a scene the place their grandma brings ’em into their front room and he or she serves all of them, I feel alcohol as a result of they’re all choking on their drink, and It appeared prefer it might be lemonade, however they’re all like choking it down. So I feel that’s what they have been implying. That is actually humorous as a result of yeah, we undoubtedly didn’t have grandmas who served us alcohol once we have been 12 years previous. That may be so cool. 

Emma: And there are plenty of cigarettes within the film. Like mini characters are smoking. Which, no matter however I simply really feel like films don’t try this as a lot now, so I used to be identical to, oh yeah, that is an previous film. Again once we have been way more chill about this ’trigger it’s a child film for positive, a minimum of a household film.

Elsie: That’s true. It’s undoubtedly outdated, however I sort of consider in accepting outdated issues for what they’re.

Emma: Nicely, smoking’s the worst factor that occurs within the film then It’s like, that’s not that dangerous. ’trigger it’s fairly simple to inform a child, smoking heads up causes most cancers. It’s fairly simple. It’s simply attention-grabbing. 

Elsie: Yeah, I assumed the small city, just like the Predominant Road strip, was additionally actually cute. I all the time prefer it after they have that in films. ’trigger that’s one thing that being from Missouri, we see, we see cities that look that means so much. Our city doesn’t look that means, however a number of like communities, little surrounding cities the place our grandma’s from there are many locations that look that means and it’s, it’s so candy.

Emma: Yeah, a bit, having a bit dinner made me consider the diner we used to go to with our grandma rising up. Oh yeah. It felt very acquainted, nevertheless it didn’t really feel like my city, which I feel is sweet. I contemplate {that a} praise. They have been like tapping into one thing sort of common, a minimum of to me. However oh yeah, I cherished it. Ought to we do some trivia? 

Elsie: Let’s do the trivia. 

Emma: Okay. First, so the 4 youthful variations of the ladies have been solid first, and after the adults have been solid, they watched the footage of the younger women’ performances to tell their very own. 

Elsie: That’s good. 

Emma: Do you actually suppose that, how plausible do you suppose that was although ’trigger I used to be like, I really like this complete solid. And everybody did an amazing job, however I didn’t really feel prefer it was like, oh yeah, they solid these two individuals ’trigger they sort of look alike, or their mannerisms felt related. I used to be identical to, okay they usually solid two nice actresses, one who’s a baby and one who’s an grownup and that’s that, you understand? However I didn’t actually really feel prefer it was like, oh yeah, they appear so related.

Elsie: To be 100% trustworthy, I feel they simply picked well-known individuals too. 

Emma: That’s what I feel. I’m not saying it’s dangerous, however I’m identical to, I don’t know. I don’t really feel like they received my mannerisms precisely. I used to be like, I don’t know. 

Elsie: That’s true. Like have you ever watched the present Yellow Jackets? 

Emma: No. 

Elsie: It’s like a latest present they usually have like a youthful and teenage model or an grownup and teenage model of the identical characters, they usually look so much alike. They usually actually promote it. They didn’t try this, no. 

Emma: Or when the brand new Hocus Pocus got here out this previous 12 months, that one I felt just like the little women, the younger, I don’t know the way previous they’re, I feel they’re younger women, however within the film, they felt like they watched the previous Hocus Pocus to me or Hocus Pocus so much ’trigger they simply did little issues just like the older actresses. And I used to be like, oh they’re undoubtedly doing a bit little bit of an impersonation of them a bit bit, and I assumed it was so good. It made me suppose like, wow, they’re such good actors. ’trigger they’re clearly making an attempt to be this different particular person, a youthful model of this particular person. So anyway. This film didn’t try this, for my part. Shifting on. 

Elsie: Okay. The subsequent trivia is Thora Birch, who performs Teeny, had by no means ridden a motorbike earlier than this film. That’s so humorous, I really like tales like that. 

Emma: Robert Pattinson, that was a number of the trivia from Twilight. I feel we learn on the podcast. 

Elsie: That he didn’t drive a automobile.

Emma: And he needed to be taught there within the wet space. Yeah, to need to be taught to trip a motorbike after which do it in a film. I imply, I suppose you’d be very motivated to be taught. She appeared nice.

Emma: There you go. There’s one thing. I can’t actually ski both. So in case you needed to be in a film the place they’re like, you’re gonna ski previous the digital camera now, you’d be like, nope. I don’t know the way to do this. Okay. Samantha’s little sister within the film was performed by Demi Moore’s oldest daughter Rumor Willis. 

Elsie: Oh, that’s candy. 

Emma: Isn’t that cute? 

Elsie: That’s very cute. 

Emma: I couldn’t even inform in the course of the film, after which I really feel like I noticed some promo factor or one thing that was like, right here they’re years later or no matter. ’trigger I used to be making an attempt to search for extra treehouse footage, primarily. And I used to be like, oh, it’s her daughter. I didn’t even discover in the course of the film. She’s so little within the film. However I used to be like, oh cute. That’s cute. I don’t even know if that they had the identical days of taking pictures, most likely not ’trigger the older actresses are like by no means in photographs with the younger ones. However I nonetheless was like, that’s actually cute that they’re each in the identical film.

Emma: Yeah. ’trigger I did really feel just like the youthful variations, there have been plenty of sort of particular issues and particular issues that didn’t even go anyplace essentially. They didn’t all the time ladder as much as one thing larger, which to me felt very true to life. It’s not a memoir essentially, however nonetheless I cherished it. It did really feel very very similar to childhood to me. So it kinda is sensible to me {that a} child truly wrote it as a result of it actually felt like rising up and it was good. So good for her. 

Elsie: Good for her. I adore it. Okay, charge this film from zero to 5 seances. Okay, I’m going to present it a 4 out of 5. I feel if Rosie O’Donnell’s character would’ve had a popping out, I might’ve given it a 5. I feel it wanted that.

Emma: Thought it was gonna occur.
