Weekend Watchlist: Orphan: First Kill, Beast and Spin Me Round

Episode notes

[Izon by Trent Walton fades in, plays alone, fades out]

MIA Hi! Welcome to Weekend Watchlist, look at what’s screening and streaming brought to you by Mitchell...

MITCHELL Hello!

MIA And together we’ll dig through what’s dropping this weekend, last weekend recent trends on Letterboxd and we’ll also take a peek at our own watchlists—all under 30 minutes for your money back.

MITCHELL Mia! This... could be the biggest episode we’ve ever done! Slim is away camping this week. So it is M&M season yet again. Mia, how do you feel about camping?

MIA I have never been, Mitchell. I have never been once. I’m an indoor baby.

MITCHELL Slim not not inviting Mia and Mitchell for the camping sessions, I understand how it is.

MIA I don’t like to be dirty! That’s why I’m inside at the movie theaters.

MITCHELL Exactly. I am also very much a not an outside person. I was born indoors and I will stay indoors.

MIA Same!

MITCHELL Inside the nice, nice air conditioning this week we will be discussing dear old Esther coming back for Orphan: First Kill, Idris Elba fighting a lion in Beast, Alison Brie in Italy in Spin Me Round, and get your thoughts on the movie where Colin Farrell got his wife and all of us... pregnant.

MIA Okay, yes, yes. Much Colin Farrell talk up ahead. But first, we got to talk about that orphan, Esther!

MITCHELL That orphan, she’s back.

MIA Yeah, if you’re ever curious about her very first kill, there’s a new movie coming out that will tell you about it. It is called Orphan: First Kill and it is directed by William Brent Bell. It is going to be in theaters and on Paramount+, 9.4 thousand watchlists and a 2.8 average rating. So this new installment follows Esther after escaping from an Estonian psychiatric facility. Leena Klammer—that’s Esther—travels to America by impersonating Esther—that’s Esther—the missing daughter of a wealthy family. But when her mask starts to slip, she is put against a mother who will protect her family from the murderous child at any cost—that’s Julia Stiles.

MITCHELL That is Julia Stiles, very exciting to see Julia Stiles in this movie. So I way back with Orphan, saw Orphan, the 2009 original movie in theaters when it came out and lost my mind. I had not a lot of idea what to expect. I honestly went into it as a big fan of Vera Farmiga and Peter Sarsgaard, who are not in this new one, but I was super stoked just to see for them and that twist in Orphan blew my mind. I really lost it and just love that movie. But so I’ve been I’ve been excited for this one. But I know that you, you only saw the original Orphan for the first time recently, right, getting pumped for this one. So how did you feel about the OG Orphan?

MIA I knew the twist because at this point, everybody knows the twist, the Orphan twist. So it’s interesting that you got to see it without knowing—

MITCHELL No idea.

MIA That infamous twist, but I knew the spoiler. So the whole time I’m watching it. I’m like, ‘oooh hoo hoo, I know what’s gonna happen! I know what’s gonna happen and I know what’s going on.’ So I still had like a lot of fun even knowing. That’s why I had put it off so long. I was like, ‘Why would I watch it? I know what’s gonna happen.’ But nevertheless, it is a fun ride. It was also very psychosexual, the Orphan films are a lot more psychosexual than I was expecting.

MITCHELL Yeah1

MIA Which is always a bonus, that’s a bonus for me. [Mitchell laughs] Yeah, so it’s been... how many years since the first Orphan?

MITCHELL Thirteen. Quick math, quick math. [Mitchell laughs]

MIA That’s insane. And she’s playing a younger orphan, even, it’s the prequel.

MITCHELL You know, you mentioned Julia Stiles is the mother and as and Julia Stiles, huge fan of Julia Stiles. A child of—so I was born in 1990. So I was at the perfect age for 10 Things I Hate About You and like Save the Last Dance, I’m all in on Julia Stiles and getting to see her back and doing some pretty fun stuff in this was very exciting.

MIA She has dark hair and a gun in this movie.

MITCHELL She has a gun!

MIA Se has a gun, like give Julia Stiles a gun.

MITCHELL We’ve got a couple of reviews here for Orphan: First Kill. I’ll shout out Jake’s review who says, “It’s not as gripping as the first one, but I think the prequel is self aware of its silly premise and runs with it in a serious manner that works (most of the time). There’s also a twist midway through this movie that I didn’t see coming that helps separate itself from the original.”

MIA And then Reyna’s review: “This honestly feels like one of those direct to video sequels that we would’ve got in the 90’s video store where they say “screw it” and throw a wild idea at the wall and I can’t help but respect it.” I agree Reyna! We’re here to have fun! [Mia laughs]

MITCHELL They’re making choices in this movie and that’s actually imperfect lead into our next movie, which is certainly some choices were made for Beast, directed by Baltasar Kormákur, coming out in theaters this week on 5,000 watchlists. The synopsis: “A recently widowed man and his two teenage daughters travel to a game reserve in South Africa. However, their journey of healing soon turns into a fight for survival when a bloodthirsty lion starts to stalk them.” The big pitch for the movie—I mean, that’s a whole synopsis, but really, all you need to say is Idris Elba fights a lion in this movie.

MIA Yeah, and I hear they got the CGI lion from our RRR. [Mitchell laughs]

MITCHELL The same one.

MIA The same one, he’s really in demand.

MITCHELL Yeah, he’s like the Uggie from The Artist, you know, it’s just that CGI line is gonna be everywhere. He’s gonna be at the Oscars. We all know we’re gonna see him.

MIA Idris Elba. Can we talk about Idris Elba for a second?

MITCHELL We can alway talk about Idris Elba.

MIA Yeah, he is my close personal friend. I have spoken to him, recently for about four minutes. So, you know, that’s...

MITCHELL That is a bond, that is a bond that’s never going to be broken.

MIA That’s how you talk to your friends, for four minutes at a time. But it was not about him punching a lion in Beast, it was about him playing a jinn in Three Thousand Years of Longing from George Miller, our other best friend.

MITCHELL Yeah, Three Thousand Years of Longing, you and Slim will get into that a bit more next week and maybe we can we can hear a little bit of that chat that you had—

MIA Maybe so!

MITCHELL With Idris. For this week, you know, one last thing on Beast, for people who don’t know, Baltasar Kormákur, I’m kind of a big fan of his work. He definitely works in this of like these kind of throwback movies to ’90s era, like 2 Guns with Denzel and Mark Wahlberg is a movie that I really liked and Everest, the Jake Gyllenhaal, Josh Brolin movie where they climb Everest, if you could believe that. It’s like he works in that that of, he’s almost like a workman director. And so I’m pretty stoked for Beast and I respect too, the fact that in the commercials and the trailer for it, they very specifically show Idris Elba punching the lion in the face. So anybody who thinks is going to be another The Grey, Liam Neeson The Grey, where the trailer makes it look like he’s gonna fight that wolf and then he doesn’t fight the wolf in the movie and everybody was very disappointed. You you are going to get the fight in Beast. So look out for that.

MIA Let’s spin this around Mitchell with Spin Me Round, directed by Jeff Baena. And written by Baena and Alison Brie. It is going to be in theaters and on video-on-demand and it is on 4.8 thousand watchlists with a 2.9 average rating. “When the manager of an Italian restaurant chain wins the opportunity to attend the franchise’s educational immersion program in Italy, what she thought would be a romantic getaway devolves into chaos and catastrophe.”

MITCHELL I hate when that happens. I hate my romantic getaways to Italy devolving into chaos and catastrophe—every single time it happens!

MIA Every single time it seems there’s no other way it can go. There has to be some sort of arc. [Mitchell laughs] I did watch this one and I am pleased to report that it’s a little gay. You wouldn’t think it from the poster, which is like Alison Brie with a handsome man. And it’s like a romance novel. Yes. It’s doing like a romance novel cover thing. But she and Aubrey Plaza get up to stuff. Your best friend, Aubrey Plaza.

MITCHELL We’ll maybe hear more about Aubrey in a few minutes, in a few minutes.

MIA Yeah, if you stay around for a couple more minutes, you might hear some more Aubrey talk. He he he! But in the meantime, Spin Me Round also stars Tim Heidecker.

MITCHELL Slim’s fave!

MIA Slim’s fave.

MITCHELL Shoutout for Slim.

MIA Yeah, yeah. There’s also a little bit of a Terrence Malick parody. There’s like a director guy who wears the big sun hat and has a beard and the glasses. And that made me giggle, too. And Molly Shannon is being hilarious as per usual. But ultimately, this is a movie that was made so that the cast and crew could go on a vacation in Italy, for quote, “work”. They’ve done this for The Little Hours, also by director Jeff Baena and starring Alison and Aubrey. And that’s kind of their MO and I respect it. Like I can’t be mad about it. Because if I were also like a successful director slash actor, I would be saying yes to breezy comedies and Italy as well.

MITCHELL Yeah, why not? I feel like you know, if Adam Sandler gets to do it, he gets to you know, make a Drew Barrymore movie where they go to Hawaii just to hang out and go to safaris wherever Blended takes place, I can’t . But you know, Adam Sandler, he’s he’s doing that thing, the Grown Ups movies, wherever they go for those, you know, they get to do that. Why not? Why not the Baena, Brie, Plaza Trifecta going all around the place. I also just really enjoy the metaness of the fact that like so Jeff Baena is married to Aubrey Plaza, Alison Brie wrote the movie with Jeff Baena, where now Brie and Plaza get to make out in it. And it’s just like everybody just hanging out, having fun. It’s just a good time. Why not?

MIA Yeah, Aubrey Plaza is always kissing girls in these Italian vacation movies. So again, I cannot be upset about that. We have a couple reviews as well. This one’s from Justin: “meandering to the point where the climactic payoff largely feels unearned, but there’s enough great moments — and familiar faces — to keep from dismissing it, but it’s hard not to see this as an excuse for a bunch of friends to hang out in Italy and make a movie (which, let’s be honest, we would all do too, if we could)” That’s what I’m saying, Justin! Justin, I agree.

MITCHELL One other review from Allison who says: “Stay for Molly Shannon’s character Deb calling everyone ‘bitches’ and getting a glimpse of the number-three restaurant in the world in Lucca, Italy. The film captures the essence of Italy while placing its characters in extreme situations. Despite the minor problems, it’s enjoyable and a thrilling watch overall.”

MIA Molly, love her.

MITCHELL Before we head into the look back at last week’s releases I wanted to shine a spotlight on one more kind of smaller film coming out this week, The Territory, a documentary by director Alex Pritz, coming out in theaters. It’s on 1.9 thousand watchlists right now with a 3.8 average rating. Already a pretty, pretty solid rating.

MIA That’s a lot higher than all the other movies dropping this week. That’s a full star higher.

MITCHELL It you’re looking at average rating for what to watch this week, check out The Territory. The synopsis for it: “The Indigenous Uru-eu-wau-wau people have seen their population dwindle and their culture threatened since coming into with non-Native Brazilians. Though promised dominion over their own rainforest territory, they have faced illegal incursions from environmentally destructive logging and mining, and, most recently, land-grabbing invasions spurred on by right-wing politicians like President Jair Bolsonaro. With deforestation escalating as a result, the stakes have become global.” And yeah, like I said, this one has played out a couple of festivals already, gotten really good reviews, wanted to shine a spotlight on a couple reviews from Letterboxd like Claira who says the film is: “instantly immersive and virtually impossible to step away from without seething with rage. The Territory is a depiction of indigenous and environmental urgency at its most authentic, deeply human which means it is also deeply devastating to experience.”

MIA We also have a review from Robert: “Every once in a while a film comes along that simultaneously elevates your anger and evaporate to your hope while pulling you to believe against all logic that maybe if the right people when the inevitability of our species bleak end can still be blotted out.” Beautiful review, Robert.

MITCHELL One other release coming out this week that we wanted to give a quick shout out to his Rebekah McKendry on this week’s episode of The Letterboxd Show, where they chatted about Glorious as well as her four favorites: The ’Burbs, Suspiria, Hedwig and the Angry Inch and Survive Style 5+. Let’s look back at the films that we covered last week. Let’s start with Emily the Criminal, my beloved Emily the Criminal, which has gone up from last week. It got added to 4,000 new watchlists from when we talked about it last week.

MIA And I believe it went up because you spoke to Aubrey Plaza, right? I think that that inflated the numbers.

MITCHELL You know, I think that that’s probably, I think that’s exactly true. Yeah, I spoke with Aubrey Plaza, we had a nice, you know, warm half-hour chat, you know, just hanging out, me and Aubrey, you know, build it building that bond, just really connecting. And we got to chat a lot about Emily the Criminal, but also the big hype for me for that conversation was you know, I’m not from Delaware originally, but I’ve been living in Delaware for the last twenty years, which is a very small state. If people are not aware, not a lot of famos coming from Delaware. But Aubrey Plaza born in Wilmington, Delaware about like fifteen minutes from where I live, and is as far as I’m concerned of the queen of Delaware. We worship at the altar of Aubrey and so we got to talk a lot about just her relationship with Delaware and things that people want I don’t know about Delaware and perceptions of Delaware. And I think we might even have a little clip of me and Aubrey talking about Delaware.

[clip of Mitchell’s interview with Aubrey Plaza plays]

MITCHELL When you mentioned that you’re from Delaware to people, do you ever get like interesting or like weird reactions?

AUBREY I mean, the top three things are one, “Is that a state?” which always blows my mind. Two, “I’ve driven through there. Oh, yeah, I’ve driven through there on 95.” And then three, Wayne’s World reference. “Oh, we’re in Delaware.” That’s like what everybody always says to me when I say I’m from Delaware. And I’m like, “Wow, you’re the first person that ever said that to me.”

MITCHELL I was literally doing a podcast last night and the guy like, brought up the Wayne’s World thing from Delaware. He’s like, “the only thing I ever associate with Delaware.” And I’m like, “yeah, people from Delaware have heard that a lot.”

AUBREY Yeah, I know. People don’t know. They just don’t know. They will, they will know.

MITCHELL Thanks so much. Aubrey. If you want to read the rest of my convo with Aubrey, you can head over to Letterboxd Journal now and check that out. And we will slide right into talking about Inu-oh, another film we discussed last week, which has gone up two thousand new watchlists from when we covered it last weekend. Mia, I know you you heard, you know, a little q&a from the director of Inu-oh, recently, right?

MIA Yes, I did. I got to go to a Q&A with Masaaki Yuasa at the Los Feliz 3, my favorite theater. And it was actually for Mind Game, his previous film, which is kind of like his masterpiece, I would say. And I had never seen Mind Game so it was so amazing to see it in the theater. I had never seen anything like it. It is so imaginative and inventive and like I need to study his brain. [Mia & Mitchell laugh] No one else is doing it like him. So I am all in for anything that this director makes.

MITCHELL I want to do a shout out for Mrs. Darcy’s review of Inu-oh, who said: “I’m not sure there’s anything I can say about a Japanese animated rock opera slash political and historical epics set in feudal Japan that will capture just how insane this film is. But suffice it to say that it is more metal than The Northman and somehow crazier than Everything Everywhere All at Once.” So there’s your elevator pitch for Inu-oh, if you haven’t gotten on that yet.

MIA Okay, Mitchell, I got to talk vampires.

MITCHELL We’ve often have to talk vampires.

MIA I can’t go in episode without talking about vampires. [Mitchell laughs] So let’s do that. Luckily, there’s one, there’s a vampire movie coming out so we have something to talk about.

MITCHELL What a coincidence!

MIA Yes!

MITCHELL How wonderful.

MIA So lucky. So this one is called Day Shift, it is on 6.8 thousand watchlists, which is up 3,000 and it has a 2.9 average rating.

MITCHELL That rating—so yes, Slim and I both professed our appreciation for Day Shift on last week’s episode and I am mortified to discover a 2.9 average rating on Letterboxd. We gotta get that at least two or three, people with the Day Shift, come on, it’s a fun movie. And, you know, Brandon wrote a review which agrees with Slim and I. Brandon said: “It’s always so fulfilling to see great stunt guys and choreographers come up and given the chance to direct and Damn, JJ Perry killed it. This is such a blast. The action is tremendous. It’s very funny and really combines horror, fights and slapstick so seamlessly.’ Could not agree more Brandon.

MIA Okay, now it’s time to check in on the Letterboxd Top 50 of 2022 lists to see what is at the top of the list for things released this year. Big new edition this week is Aftersun which is playing at enough festivals to crack 1,000 views and land in the top ten at number nine. It debuted at Cannes and it was quickly picked up by A24. The release date is pending, but there’s a lot of hype for this tear jerker, especially for debut director, Charlotte Wells, and it’ll be playing at New York Film Festival. This one stars Paul Mescal of Normal People. He also has another movie coming out, God’s Creatures and that’s another A24. So he’s kind of a new A24 it-boy, it seems.

MITCHELL Yeah, definitely feels like this is going to be the fall slash winter slash awards season of Paul Mescal. You recently saw, I don’t know how much you can talk about it, but you saw God’s Creatures, right?

MIA It’s true. I did see God’s Creatures. He wears some delightful sweaters in it.

MITCHELL Very, very excited. That’s a perfect tease. You can definitely, you know, look forward to I think that one comes out at the end of September so people can look forward to hearing more about your thoughts on God’s Creatures. Well, let’s get into our final section of this episode where we check in on our own watchlists. So we use this section to talk about what’s on our watchlist, we shuffle them and pick out some films for us to watch for the next time that we come on. Last time that you were on, you shuffled and got Ondine, which we mentioned earlier, which I must give a little—I looked it up after I said it earlier, because it didn’t feel quite right to me—mea culpa for myself—Colin Farrell, actress in the movie is not his wife, but they did fall in love on set of the movie and, you know, they became pregnant, she became pregnant and gave birth to their child, but then their relationship ended not too long after that. So correcting myself here, Colin Farrell, I believe still single.

MIA Yeah, I think that could be cool if he’s single. [Mia laughs]

MITCHELL I think that would be...

MIA Veeery interesting.

MITCHELL Great if he was single.

MIA Yes, I did, I did watch the film. I did watch it because I am a Colin Farrell completionist. You may recall, I got Winter’s Tale a couple episodes back.

MITCHELL Shout out Winter’s Tale.

MIA Shout out Winter’s Tale! I will watch anything for this guy. I have seen 27 of his movies and would you believe, Miami Vice is not one of them yet.

MITCHELL Criminal. [Mitchell & Mia laugh]

MIA But this one was made by Neil Jordan of Interview with the Vampire and the lesser seen Byzantium, which I really like. Here he’s tackling selkies which are not mermaids, like I had previously assumed they were, they’re not. They are seals that turned into beautiful women on land. And Colin here is a depressed Irish fisherman who catches a beautiful woman, who might be a selkie, and she helps him connect with his ailing daughter, as silkies are want to do. I’m excited about this one because I got to use my Manic Pixie Dream Fish tag, which I don’t often get to use. And you’ve seen this one too.

MITCHELL I watched it as well. I also am a huge Colin Farrell stan, looking at my all time stats on Letterboxd, I have apparently seen 42 Colin Farrell movies.

MIA That’s so messed up that you beat me. [Mitchell laughs]

MITCHELL Which is quite, quite a lot. He’s one of my most watched actors and yeah, so I watched this. This has been on my watchlist for a while. It’s probably since it came out because I like Neil Jordan. I also a huge Byzantium fan, shout out for Byzantium. People check that out if you haven’t seen it yet.

MIA Yes! Thank you!

MITCHELL Saoirse...

MIA Saoirse!

MITCHELL Saoirse Ronan, Gemma Arterton. That movie kind of rules. But yeah, Ondine, it’s sweet. It’s very, like, it’s really interesting because it is very like a full click fairytale kind of vibe. It feels like a bedtime story, but with like a darker tinge to it. I watched it on Tubi which for some reason my watching it on Tubi, the audio was just out of sync but like, like slightly out of sync enough to kind of bother me but not so much that I’m like, ‘Okay, I can’t watch this. I have to pay $4 to rent it on iTunes instead.’ So my experience was a very particular one with Ondine on Tubi, but yeah, Colin Farrell very hot in this movie. [Mia laughs]

MIA I hear you watched a film as well...

MITCHELL For the watchlist shuffle last time, I got Hard Times, the debut film of director Walter Hill, who I’m a big fan of. And yeah, Hard Times slaps, it’s like a neo-Western version of Cinderella Man. It’s like set in the Depression era, Charles Bronson plays a bare-knuckle boxer who gets involved with James Coburn’s fight manager and they start doing these street fights. It’s really kind of like sad, depressing, it’s very, it’s using like Bronson’s knack for silence and a very effective way. And I think that what, you like gonna go into it expecting it to be like an exciting kind of boxing fight movie, but it’s really much more about like the capitalist exchanging of cash, and leveling up wagers on these men who are just being beaten to hell and like, are being defined and commodified by their ability to like, just knock the heck out of each other. And so yeah, that’s kind of a bummer, but I really loved it.

MIA Well, Mitchell, maybe your next movie you’re gonna get is going to be very positive and feel good and lovely. Opposite of this one.

MITCHELL We will find out in a second, we’ll shuffle our—

MIA Easy Times! You’ll get some easy times.

MITCHELL There you go. I gotta put ‘Easy Times’ I’m sure there’s a movie called ‘Easy Times’. I got to put it on the watchlist.

MIA There’s got to be. [Mia laughs]

MITCHELL We’ve got some Letterboxd who have been shuffling their watchlists along with us tagging their reviews ‘Weekend Watchlist’ which we always appreciate, want to shout out a couple of those. Kayla watched Thirteen Lives which we talked about recently, also starring of course, Colin Farrell, Kayla’s review—

MIA Wow, Colin chat this week!

MITCHELL Colin is all over Weekend Watchlist! Kayla’s review for Thirteen Lives: “The first time they do a POV of the characters diving I said out loud to my dog, ‘Oh man, this is a lot.’” which, agree, agree.

MIA Yeah, I actually I saw this one as a screener in theaters and I was so claustrophobic the whole time, just like shrinking in my seat. Yeah, it was a lot.

MITCHELL Yeah, I watched it at home, it would be even tougher to watch in theaters for sure.

MIA Yeah. Oh, E.T. [The Extraterrestrial] was just rereleased an IMAX so we have a review from Brian: “Looking better than ever on IMAX. The story between a boy and a visitor stranded on our world still holds as a marvel of special effects and a sense of wonder the character of ET is really brought to life and still feels as fresh as the day he amazed the world 40 years ago and themes of kindness and friendship still resonate to this day.” Ah, ET got yassified for IMAX. [Mitchell laughs]

MITCHELL If you’re looking for easy times, E.T. [The Extraterrestrial] on IMAX now. Mia, let’s do the thing, let’s shuffle our watchlists and see what we’re going to get next. We will head into our watchlists, filter by Stream-only and sort by Shuffle. [shuffle sound plays]

MIA Oh, I feel like my watch list is entirely thirst watches for English character actors. So I got Death at a Funeral, 2007, directed by Frank Oz, because it stars my guy Tom from Succession Matthew MacFadyen. Do you watch Succession Mitchell?

MITCHELL I do. I have not, I haven’t watched the third season yet. I haven’t caught up with the third season yet.

MIA What the heck?

MITCHELL Because I was waiting—my problem with Succession is I can’t just watch one episode so I wait for the whole season to finish and then I binge watch the whole season but because of, you know, I’m such a busy working gal that I waited for it to finish and then when it finished, I’ve just been too busy to now dedicate ten hours to watch the whole season. So...

MIA It’s a commitment, yes, but you gotta see what Tom’s up to.

MITCHELL Yeah, I can’t wait to see it. I’m very excited for it. I’m excited for you to watch Death at a Funeral. It’s a fun movie. I saw it back when I came out. It’s definitely an enjoyable ride. And him in his sweet spot of being a befuddling fool.

MIA Yes! Oh, he’s foolish? Oh yeah, I’m super excited for this! [shuffle sound plays]

MITCHELL I shuffled and I got what I believe is not going to be an easy time for me. I got the film Umberto D., 1952.

MIA Oh no! [Mitchell laughs] That is not an easy time, Mitchell!

MITCHELL Directed by Vittorio De Sica. The synopsis for it: “When elderly pensioner Umberto Domenico Ferrari returns to his boarding house from a protest calling for a hike in old-age pensions, his landlady demands her 15,000-lire rent by the end of the month or he and his small dog will be turned out onto the street. Unable to get the money in time, Umberto fakes illness to get sent to a hospital, giving his beloved dog to the landlady’s pregnant and abandoned maid for temporary safekeeping.” God, I’m gonna cry.

MIA That synopsis is insane! They are really just saying it all. They’re laying it all out on the table for you. [Mia laughs]

MITCHELL Yeah, Jesus Christ.

MIA Just like really long and like it’s detailed when like all you really need to know about it is this guy is a pensioner and he’s in Italy and it’s sad and neorealism. I watched part of it for the Italian Neorealism unit at film school, and yeah, it’s not an easy time, Mitchell. So, so good luck.

MITCHELL Yeah, well, there we go! [Mitchell & Mia laugh]
