All right, Mr. Gibson here with your next lesson in cryptography. And today we're going to be kicking off our unit on public key encryption. And we need to understand about encryption protocol right now is that what we're doing is a very idealistic view on cryptography so far. Both parties have access to a key that you understand it and Eavesdropper might not know that key and you can keep operating under those circumstances. What we're going to see is that it doesn't really happen very much in practice. And what that leads to are issues and well, how do you exchange keys? How do you ensure that both parties that need to have the keys have them and the parties that you don't want to have the keys don't? We're going to look at our kind of current method and find some ways to improve it. So we're going to have a certain cast of characters that we're using here today. We're going to represent plain plain text messages with the open lock, the ciphertext messages with a closed lock, the key with a key. And then we've got three people. We've got Alice, Bob, and Eve. Alice and Bob are two friends. They're the parties that are going to be trying to exchange messages securely. And then there's Eve, who will be our Eavesdropper trying to determine that plain text message by eavesdropping on the communications that happen between Alice and Bob. So what we're going to see is that sharing information securely is hard. And that's kind of the point of this course is we're looking at how do we exchange those messages without the eavesdropper knowing what's going on. So let's start with Alice. Alice has the plain text message hello, chosen the key of dog, and then they generate this secure ciphertext message zj2ywefj equal equal. The exact cipher used here is not important. It's kind of an illustration of how this works. So after this process has happened on Alice's end, she'll transmit the message over to Bob. Bob now has the secure message, the ciphertext. Bob already knows the key of dog, so he's able to successfully recover the plain text message of hello. And if things work well, even if the eavesdropper was paying attention and they got that ciphertext message, Eve does not have the key and therefore cannot recreate the plain text message. That's been the assumption that we've been using so far in this course, that somebody could get the ciphertext, but that's fine because without the key it's secure enough they're not going to be able to get it. But what we're going to see is that this ideal situation does not hold very long in practice. Let's say that Eve was eventually able to get that key of dog. And we've got to change up the keyword. But Alice and Bob are far apart. There's no way for them to actually exchange the new keyword. And so Alice has changed the keyword to cat, and then that gives you a new ciphertext message to share, but there's no way to get that new key to Bob without the eavesdropper seeing the new key go down the line. So Bob gets the ciphertext, but if there's no secure way for him to get the key, then there's no way for him to get the message without Eve also getting the key and then being able to recreate the plain text message. So this is the challenge that we're up against. So let's look at some solutions to solving this key exchange problem. This is how the German army did it during World War II with the enigma machine. They would create a codebook. They would make one of these one per month. So you can kind of see here on the screen each one of these rows represents a particular date. And they had the initial configuration, which it served as the key for the enigma machine.  And because the enigma machine was relatively secure for a very long time, it was good enough because they knew that any messages transmitted with a key for the day, it would take far longer than a day for the allied forces to crack those. And then the next day they'd move on to the next key and so on. So that's how they did it. Some drawbacks to that is that everybody that is going to use the enigma machine needs to have this exact same codebook. One of these could fall into enemy hands, and then they know the codes for the rest of the month. It's just a very logistical nightmare in terms of administrating the key exchange. You can also use a secure courier. So you can have a trusted messenger physically deliver keys. They might do something similar to what the Germans did have like a printed out key list. And you could maybe do that in a modern day society using diplomatic carriers or these diplomatic bags, which are immune to any sort of search when you're traveling across different countries lines. That's been the case since about the 60s, but while that's, again, that's kind of a nice solution, that's assuming that everybody's playing by the rules and if you're in wartime or some other sort of situation where maybe people aren't going to play by the rules, that's only going to kick the can down the road a little bit because once people can get in those pouches and they stop caring about the rules, they're still going to be able to read your messages. So we need to maybe even better system. And this is where some mathematics is going to be able to help us out. It turns out there's some interesting math here that's not too complicated to understand. That's going to allow us to generate a shared secure key. And we can do that over those open channels, meaning the channels that an eavesdropper can can see anything going across. We're going to start out by using non mathematics. We're going to we're going to use the idea of mixing paint. It makes it maybe a little bit easier to understand the general idea. And then we'll follow up with a specific example on how some math can actually implement this cryptographic process. So let's say that Alice has decided she's got this paint palette here and she's going to choose the color yellow as a secret of hers to begin with, but then she's going to share that information with Bob. And because she's shared it with Bob, that means that Eve has it too. So in fact, that's not a secret color, but we're going to use the letter C to note that as a common color, common because everybody who's a part of this whether you want them to or not has access to it. And then Alice and Bob are going to share a secret color that they will not share at all. That's how it's going to remain secret. So Alice has chosen the color red and Bob has chose the color blue. And because they're not going to share that color with each other, Eve does not know it. And now they're going to mix the common color with their personal secret color. So Alice is going to mix the yellow and the red. And that means she's going to have some sort of orange color. Bob is going to mix the yellow and the blue and he's going to get some sort of green color. And now they're going to exchange those colors with each other. So Bob sent the green over to Alice and Alice sent the orange over to Bob. And because they did that over an open channel, Eve also knows those two shared colors. So she knows that Alice's common color plus private color gave her the orange and she knows that Bob's common color and private color gave green. So she's going to kind of tuck that away for information. Now what Alice and Bob are going to do is they're going to mix that color that they just got from each other with their secret color. So Alice is going to take the red and the green and mix it and get some sort of tan. Bob is going to mix some blue and orange and he'll also get some sort of tan because they now have equal parts A, B, and C together. They've just generated a shared color that only they know. Eve can't recreate that color because Eve does not have access to A, B, and C in the right proportions. Eve does have access to yellow and she's got a mix of yellow and whatever Bob's secret color was but it's going to be really hard for her to reverse engineer what that original secret color was. And then same thing, she has the orange which is a mix of yellow and Alice's secret color but it's going to be really hard for her to work that back to figure out exactly how much and of what color Alice mixed with the yellow to get the orange. So there's no easy or practical way for Eve to kind of reverse engineer the information she has to get the exact same tan color that both Alice and Bob do have access to. And that's the general principle here is that by selectively sharing only certain information two parties can create a shared secret together that unless you had access to the private information that was not shared you would not be able to recreate it yourself. So mathematically what we're talking about here is a one-way function. It's really easy to mix paint together but it's really hard to take a look at a mixed bucket of paint or mixed palette of paint and decide exactly which colors made it and in which proportions. And we're going to see that there's some mathematical operations that work a lot like paint mixing. Easy to do one way but very difficult to do the other way. This protocol is what's known as the Diffie-Hellman Key Experience. So that's named after two mathematicians and what it allows you to do is have two parties with no previous knowledge of each other. So this Alice and Bob and our example were friends but they could have been complete strangers and it gives them a way to establish a shared secret key over an insecure or monitored channel and then you can use that shared key to encrypt messages using a symmetric key site. Symmetric key just means you use the same key for and everything that we've done up to this point in the course. And this protocol is actually still used today to secure a variety of internet services. So they did this about you know mid-70s or so but after some information was declassified in the late 90s it turns out that the British Intelligence Agency had already shown in the late 60s that they knew how to do this. In fact they knew how to do public key cryptography which is the next place we're going to. They could do that back in the late 60s. So while everybody else thought this was you know hot stuff brand new and so it's actually been around all right. So let's see how we can do this mathematically and we're going to step away from that pain mixing example. So Alice is going to come up with two numbers P and G and send those over to Bob which means Eve has them also. So that's going to be public information and we're going to color all public information in this example green. Alice and Bob then come up with a private number each. So Alice has chosen four and Bob has chosen three and we're going to represent those in lowercase a and b respectively. Now those are private which means they're never going to go over the channel between Alice and Bob which means Eve should never get those. Alice and Bob are now going to compute a piece of information that will become public once the calculation is done. So the way that we're going to do that we're going to take our value of G and then raise it to your private number and then mod it by P. So Alice would do five to the fourth power mod it by 23 and she gets four. Bob is going to take five to the third power also mod by 23 and get 10. Those information do get sent over the wire. So Alice gets B equals 10 capital B equals 10 and Bob gets capital A equals four and now Eve has those values as well. What Bob can now do is create a shared secret. We're going to take B to the A so capital B to the A so Alice is going to do 10 to the fourth. Mod that by 23. Bob's going to do the same thing. He's going to take Alice's value of four, cube it and then mod by 23 and they both get 18. What's hard for Eve to do here is that because she doesn't have access to lowercase a or lowercase b, only capital A and capital B, it's going to be really hard for her to figure out what that shared secret of 18 is. She's missing key information and what we're going to see is that it's that raising to a power in modding that's really easy to do one way. We saw that you know 10 to the fourth mod 23 easy to do to calculation wise. However, if all you know is the 10 and you don't know the lowercase a equals four, there's no easy way for you to compute that 18. You're going to have to do a lot of guessing and checking and then even then you don't even know if you did it correctly. So this is what we're going to call the discrete log problem. The discrete log problem says that it's easy to exponentiate and then mod by a value to get a result, but it's extremely hard to go the other way. If you have access to a secret piece of information, maybe 18, it's really hard to go back and recreate the public keys. So here's the mathematics behind it. Here's why this actually works. If we take capital A and we raise it to lowercase b, that's equivalent to that's equivalent to G to the A times B. So that's kind of your power rules from exponents, but then that's also equal to G to the B times A and that's the same thing as capital B to the A. So all of those things are equivalent to each other. So that's how Alice and Bob are able to create that shared secret because what they're basically both calculating is G to the A times B. But if you don't have A or B or G to the A or G to the B, like if you don't have all that information, you can't recreate that same secret. It's very hard for you to do it. So we can specifically say that G to the A mod P to the B power has the exact same thing as G to the B mod P to the A power mod P again. And that's how the mathematics behind the Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange works. So we're able to create a shared secret. In this case, it's a number. Maybe you turn that number into a binary sequence and then you encrypt your message using an XOR cipher. There's a variety of ways that you can use that numerical value to represent text or binary or whatever you needed to like we've seen previously with the LFSR. So that's it for the Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange. So that kind of solves the issue of generating a shared secret between two parties. Where we're going next is with public key cryptography, which is a completely different type of scenario where your key actually has two parts to it. One for encrypting and one for decrypting. So that would be an asymmetric cipher because you're not using the same key for encryption and decryption. You need one for each. And we're going to give one of those pieces away. And that is what we call the public. So that's it for today. Thanks for watching. We'll catch you in the next one.


Antibiotics are essential for treating many types of bacterial infection, but overuse and misuse has led to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. This has become a major public health issue, with the World Health Organization estimating that 700,000 deaths per year can be attributed to antimicrobial resistance. The WHO has identified six bacteria, enterococcus fissium, staphylococcus aureus, klebsiella pneumoniae, acenetobacter bomaniae, pseudomonas aeroginosa, and enterobacter species, that pose the greatest risk to human health, and has assigned them the highest priority status. To combat this problem, researchers must understand how these bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics, so that new drugs can be developed to target them.

Clinical research means to me, advancement. New possibilities to enhance health care and to increase quality of life, contributing to the overall health care field. I want to give people with hard failure hope. There's nothing better really than bringing new novel therapies to patients who maybe try to all the therapies that are available. And it's exciting because it's where the boundaries of medicine are constantly expanding. It provides knowledge that contributes to life-saving treatments that does determine the safety and effectiveness of our trials. Research is really the only way that any drug or device can one day be implanted into patients. It's very rewarding to know that you started your research. It's completed and we get a letter saying that our research was approved by the FDA. I love working with the doctors, helping them bring their research to life. I certainly feel privileged to be able to be part of this team that's doing such important work.


The 174 Battalion of the Nigerian Army held her 2022 West African Social Activities, a long-standing tradition that brings about the unifying of soldiers and their families as well as invited guests to socialize. This took place at the headquarters of the 174 Battalion Nigerian Army of Dogunjo Barracks. Positive news correspondents in Manolo Luba Boko captured the event and our reports. It was a colorful gathering of soldiers, their family, friends, alongside traditional rulers at the 2022 West African Social Activities, WASA. Opening the event was the inspection of the culture guard by the commanding officer of the 174 Battalion Nigerian Army of Dogunjo, Lieutenant Colonel M.I. Abdulrahman and the special guest of honor, retired Colonel Ruben Wanguo. A display of various cultural dances took the center stage from the house. To the Yoruba and then to the Igbo dance. All the dance steps were also showcased. According to the commanding officer, the event was skipped last year due to some issues. It noted that the essence of the event is to bring together soldiers and their families to socialize and bond. There was a display of masquerade dance. To show that we are not devils, we are human beings who come from homes and our responsibility is to make sure that the integrity of this country is maintained. Our territorial integrity is our primary concern. Therefore, building out time is always good to have time to relax. And so far I'm highly impressed with the organization and the way WASA is going. I'm happy with the process, the pattern and the display, sincerely I'm impressed. The 174 battalions at Udokunyo in Nekorodu, in fact they were entertaining. They are good, they are really entertaining us, we really enjoy their programs. So, and I pray that more grace to the Igbo. The highlight of the event was the stock of war, a show of strength by some female soldiers and residents of the barracks. Emmanuel Ulububukun, Plastic News.


Another consequence of the speed of light being a constant for all observers is that the size of an object shrinks along the line of motion when viewed by an observer in a different inertial frame. To see how this must also be true, we put a second identical clock on the moving frame, but this time we align it with the direction of motion instead of perpendicular to it. They tick at the same rate because they are identical clocks at rest together. They will also tick at the same rate for an observer on the ground. Only they will tick slower as we have already established. But the motion of the horizontal clock's mirror makes the distance the light has to travel different from the distance the light travels in the perpendicular clock. Here we see the perpendicular clock ticking one before the light in the other clock has returned. The only way to bring the clocks back into sync is for the length of the distance traveled horizontally to shrink. This is called space contraction. Here's a look at the new Orion spacecraft fully decked out for the planned long journeys to the moon, asteroids, and Mars. If we were traveling at the same speed as GPS satellites, it would look like this. If it were traveling at 0.9 times the speed of light, it would look like this. And if it were traveling at 0.99 times the speed of light, it would look like this. Unfortunately, we don't have the technology to take a measuring rod and accelerate it to almost the speed of light in order to measure how much it shrinks. But we do have the interesting example of muons created by cosmic rays in the upper atmosphere 15 kilometers above the ground. You'll recall from our segment on elementary particles in the How Small Is It? video book that we discovered muons with cloud chambers on mountaintops and in high flying balloons. We found that their half-life is only 2.2 microseconds. Traveling at near the speed of light, half the muons would decay with each 660 meters traveled. That would leave few, if any, reaching the Earth's surface 15 kilometers away. Yet we measure about 1 per square centimeter per minute. That's around 90% of the estimated muons produced in the upper atmosphere, which is way too high a percentage given the short half-life. This high count rate is explained using relativistic time dilation. The measured velocity of the created muons is 0.999986 times the speed of light. So by time dilation, the half-life would be 189 times longer. This gives the muons time to travel up to 125 kilometers before half of them have decayed. And that's plenty of time for most of them to reach the surface in line with the numbers observed. What does this look like in the muon's own reference frame where it is standing still and the Earth is approaching at 0.999986 times the speed of light? It will only last 2.2 microseconds. How will it make it to the surface? This is where space contraction comes in. The 15 kilometers of atmosphere is shrunk. For the muon, the distance to the surface is only 79.4 meters. So then we'll reach it in 2.2 microseconds.


Okay, here we are with our first Big Four pattern release of 2022. It is the Simplicity Early Spring Collection. So let's jump right in, see what they have got in store for us. First up, we have a Mrs. Top pattern, size range, 6 to 14, and then 16 to 24. And then they still have their hard to navigate website, but nonetheless, this is how we have to do it. So here we are. Okay, so this one looks like it has like a set in sort of lantern sleeve with an elastic band at the bottom, and then this very kind of large keyhole that ties at the top. And then just sort of a straight, slim, fitting bodice. I'm pretty sure this is a woven blouse, but we've got some neckline variations here. This one has the little ties like in a V, which is not the same as that. Yeah, these ties are up higher at the neckline. So I don't know if you would actually tie that, it would make like a little bow like way down here at the V. I don't know about that. Well, there it is, all tied up. And this one also has an elastic waist on the bodice. Here's the version the model is wearing, but with a kind of shorter sleeve, still has the elastic band, but just more of a bubble sleeve, I guess, than the lantern. This might be the one the model is wearing this sleeve. I don't know, it's hard to tell, because this one looks like it has like some shape to it, like it's a closer fit through the bicep, and then it billows out like a lantern, but here is the back view, kind of long when it's untucked. So I do appreciate them providing us with this photo of it untucked, so you can see how long it is. It's kind of like a tunic length, which is nice. You know, I'd rather have more to work with where I can shorten it to where I want than to finish sewing it and realize it's too short. But if you're planning on tucking it in like this, you kind of need it that long. You know what I mean? So nothing comes out. These jeans are not fitting her very well, but neither here nor there. Okay, so we have ABC and then D. So yeah, D is the version that she is wearing. All right. So they are recommending chambray, lawn, rayon, silky type soft cottons, extra fabric needed to match plaids. All right. So I think we're going to be seeing a lot of this, you know, your lightweight transitional type of woven, something that's like, you know, it can be moderately stable or like lightweight super drapey. Nothing too stiff. Nothing asserting might be a little bit too much. But if it was asserting blended with rayon, that could definitely work.  Okay, cool. And then they are calling it a tunic. They're calling version A a tunic. I guess B and C might be shorter than A. And then D is also a tunic. Okay, so these two might have shorter hemlines, which is pretty cool. It doesn't take a ton of fabric. Obviously the tunics do take a little bit more, but you can get this done in just about a yard and a half. And then finished bust measurements is what they're giving us here. We've got a 33 and a half up to a 49. So not certainly not the worst we've seen, but you know, not great either. All right. And then a little description here, pull over tops and tunic or hip links feature B shape and cut out necklines with self ties. Three quarter and elbow length sleeves gather to elastic. VB has a waistline elastic creating a peplum look. Cute. Cute. I mean, obviously this little like floral that they chose tucking it into the denim. You know, it's a really cute spring look for sure. All right. Now we've got another top. This one is described as peplum tops have options for side draped pleats or inverted pleats. Sleeves are in three links with invisible zipper, invisible back zipper closure. Sizing is six to 14 and then 14 to 22. So the largest of the smaller one and the smallest of the larger one do overlap, but that also means that we are missing size 24. So it's like a little bit of give and take. I like when they overlap, but then obviously I like when there's more sizes too. So all right, so we do have a full on waist scene here. And then our options are either this little tuck situation also, I think that's a grown on sleeve with a baby him. Hard to see the neckline because her hair is covering it. That's the longer sleeve version that she's wearing with pleats. That's the version she's wearing that looks super sweet in a print or you can do these inverted pleats, which I don't think we're going to get to see on a model, but here's the short sleeve version of that. So two sleevelengths, two bodice tuck options. And then everything has this center back zipper. Sweet. It looks like they made it in like a little silky type of fabric too. Really pretty. All right, let's take a look at the back envelope. So yeah, lightweight drapey woven for sure. Shallie, Charmous, crepe de chien, double georgia, silky types. You can even use a jersey knit and soft cotton blend. So they're staying away from things like chambray because they want it to have enough drape for these little tucks and pleats and also the sleeve. Now that's not to say you can't use a lightweight chambray, just know it's going to be a little bit boxier and stand away from your body more, but I think it would hold up to the pleats. Really nice. All right, what else? Yardage-wise, even the largest size, I mean, one and a half yards. So a great little scrap buster. We have bust and hip finished measurements. I think the waist would have been helpful here just because it had such a defined waist, but nonetheless, we've got a 34 to 47 and a half inch bust measurement and then a 25 to 38 and a half inch hip measurement, which is not a lot. But then again, I guess it does end at the high hip, so you have to consider that. It's not your full hip, like down where the fullest part of your bum is. So keep that in mind, too. All right, so here are our line drawings. There you go. I mean, nine, four, seven, zero. Next up is, you can get another top. This one is a button front blouse and two links have options for full sleeves and extended cuffs, shirts, I think that's supposed to be short sleeve, short sleeve or sleeveless. All have front and back yoke without ruffles. Six to 14, 14 to 22 again. All right, let's take a look. So we've got a button front, you know, standard button front bodice with the collar. It did say it had a stand collar, right? So this is like your traditional collar. We've got patch pockets, which I think have like a little ruffle detail on them. And then all the drama comes in with this sleeve. It's a very, very full sleeve that comes together. I think in a cuff. Let's see what this one's like. This one has, is this this? I don't think so. Let's look at the line drawings first since these prints are sort of hard to see. OK, I see now. So it has a yoke that goes into gathers or the gathers can have a little ruffle over the top, which is the version that she's wearing. And then it also has this really sweet, like half ruffle in the back. That's cute. And then sleeve wise. Oh, you also have two collars.  And then sleeve wise, you have a basic sleeve with like a smaller cuff. And then you have a gathered sleeve into a very full voluminous, you know, sleeve. And then a longer cuff here. And then you also have, I guess this version is the same as this. So it's like more of like your traditional cuff. And then this one has the four buttons here or sleeveless. So three sleeve options, two collar options, two bodice options. All right, now that we've got all that figured out, here are some of the illustrations. I think I like this. I can see how maybe if you're full or busted, it would be like, why would I want to put ruffles on top of my boobs? But it is sort of a looser fitting garment. So I don't know that it would fully accentuate that. But if you're smaller busted, it could definitely provide you with some interest there that you don't normally have. The sleeveless version is really sweet. And then also, of course, consider lengthening this to a dress would be super easy. So here's the version they have her in tucked into some white jean shorts. They made up the full, full length cuff version. All right. And then here's a photo of it. OK, so when I saw the half, I wasn't considering. I thought this stopped here, but that doesn't make any sense. Now that I'm not that I'm seeing it, they're trying to give us two versions in one back. So obviously, the back of D, the ruffles do go all the way around, which is what we have here, super cute. And then here's the length. You can see that it's super long. There's also some kind of slit or something that I didn't notice. I don't even see it in these line drawings. But maybe it's just folded or tucked in a funny way, or it's a weird angle of the just lighting or something. It does look like there's something there, but I guess not. And here's our the back of the envelope. So butteased, shally, charmeuse, cotton lawn, lightweight cotton, cotton blends, Swiss dot, shirtings and then silky types and wall. So this is more of your more, more of your structured lightweight woven, you don't necessarily have to have a ton of drape. I think that you could. But having it super drapey, you'd have to just figure out the collar and the cuffs and interface those in a way where, you know, they obviously still stand up. So we have almost two, two and a quarter yards, almost three yards for B, you know, when you have that really full sleeve. And then finished garment measurements. They gave us the bust, which I guess is really all that matters. And this is going to be pretty roomy. I think a lot of wearing these for sure. Designies to thirty four inches up to forty seven and a half. So that is our little spring twenty two version of a button down shirt. Next, we have a unlined jacket. This one's really cute. A relaxed, unlined jacket in two lengths has drop shoulders patch pocket sleeve bands backslit choose from two shawl collar options or colorless views. Sizing is six to fourteen and then sixteen to twenty four. And we have a notched collar. Kind of, you know, drop shoulder of giving that kind of loose like boyfriend jacket vibe into your sleeve. That has this little slit at the cuff, which is sweet. It does look like there are like this seam here that goes up into the sleeve is really interesting to me. That is a seam, right? Again, hard to see. Then you've got patch pockets and it's unlined. So I imagine you have some kind of facing in there, but that's it. And no button closures. I don't think that's focused. OK, so there's a button closure here. This one is the colorless view. And there is no seam there or the side seam turns into the sleeve. Something happens here, which is unique and different and kind of cool. Let's see if we can get a better view of it. This is the version she has on. And then you have a shawl collar that's unnotched, not notched. And then they just put one patch pocket on here, like a bit of asymmetry.  Here is another version of the unnotched collar with the longer sleeve and two patch pockets. All right, here's sort of a side view. This one's made out of some kind of chambray. It's just too hard to see. But man, that is a very interesting sleeve. How the sleeve is coming all the way almost to like, I mean, I imagine her bust apex is somewhere around here. This looks like it's coming into her bodice like a lot. Here is the same version, same photo as the first picture. You can just see, there's just like so much fabric up here, which I guess, you know, is kind of that, again, relaxed boyfriend vibe. But only in the sleeve and the body is like kind of close fitting. I think that I like that. I think that I don't not like that. But I can see how maybe once you get it on. It would feel like maybe too much. I don't know.  It's not really like a vent. It's just a slit. Um, yeah, it's cute upon first glance. But I just don't know how this would look on lots of different body types. You know what I mean? I guess if you have a fuller arm, you would like this a lot. I'm on the fence about this one. I would need to see it made up and worn on like more body types than these two slim, beautiful, but slim ladies. Easy to sew. Yeah, I would give them that for sure. Definitely easy to sew. All right, here's the envelope back linen, which I think is the pink version is some kind of linen, cotton, chambray, denim, rayon, double gauze, poplin. Yeah, so a little bit more into your midway woven. You just need one button for AC and D and then two and a half yards, two and three quarters. That's not bad for a jacket. Finished garment measurements. The bust is 36 and a half up to 52 again, because it's just so roomy. And we do have that extra size 24 on this one. So Mimi G's versions or new patterns, shirt dress with a belt. So many dress with front and back yokes has body darts, wide front, placket pocket details, belt and top stitched bands on slave and skirt hem. The UA has same features with above knee, skirt and back slit designed by Mimi G. OK, so this is what we've got. A bit of a longer shoulder line here. Normally it would end right about here, but this seems to be like a bit of a drop shoulder with a yoke, very wide band that sort of stops like a like a henley wood. And then you've got all these details like these patch pockets with pleats, these extra wide belt loops that also have buttons on them, belt from self fabric, even the buckle and then these patch pockets.  And then you have a version. Let's look at this one, not zoomed in. Same everything all the way down to here, except she added on this little flounce and the flounce has that same detail from the sleeve on to the skirt hem, which is what is making it look so like roughly, you know what I mean? So here's the yellow version again. Here's the back to the back does have fish eye darts and then also the skirt has a back scene with a vent. I think you can still see her markings there. I've done that been there done that. Oh, and then the full collar with the collar stand to. So here they are side by side. Very cute, very flattering, very flirty. They're really sweet. This would obviously look good on lots of different body types. And that's the one thing that Mimi is able to accomplish with all of her patterns. Denim, linen, poplin, rayon, satin, shirtings and twill, midweight, woven, for sure, especially if they have a little bit of stretch in them, like a stretch, satin, rayon. I don't know about rayon unless it's like a rayon twill. It's just a little bit misleading because you would be combining the weave with the fabrication, but either way. Notions, 13 buttons and a two inch buckle that you will cover in fabric. So I think it's not just I mean, I guess you can use like a regular two inch buckle, but you can also find them that you can cover yourself as like a little kit. So two and a half yards for the slim version. And three and three quarter yards for this one with the flounce just because, you know, flounces take up so much fabric. Finished bus measurements, 34 and a half to 50 inches. And then hit measurement 36 and a half to 52. And then, yep, that's it. That's it. Cute. All right, let's look at her other one. Oh, a little jumpsuit. This is going to do really well, I can tell. I can tell already. Step in jumpsuit has halter, surplus neckline, bodice, yoke with gathers and set in waistband with elastic and drawstring details. Option of angle and mid calf lengths designed by Meanie G. Six to 14 and then 16 to 24. All right, let's take a look at all of this. So you have this surplus neckline that goes into a halter beyond the laddering. This idea of it being a halter where a little bit more of a shoulder showing that goes into a kind of faux wrap, that's what surplus means. Really, really beautiful. And that's going to look so good on so many women. And if you think, oh, I have broad shoulders, I don't want to accentuate them. Just try it. Just try it. You'd be surprised how flattering this can be, especially when you've got such a defined waist. It kind of creates like a little bit of an hourglass. But then you've got this elastic waist. There's kind of a lot of fabric here. I don't know about that. I'd be checking the the lengths. But the pant looks really good. The fit of the pant looks amazing. You've got some pockets, drawstring, and then you can either have them at this mid calf length or you can go all the way to the ankle. And this one, it looks like she made out of like a like a loungy type of fabric. Again, a lot of length here. So double check that. Here it is from the side again. I love that she provides all these photos. This one only looks like it's less volume because she has it kind of like folded and pushed down a little bit. But you can see here how much we've got just a little bit, a little bit too much. And then here's the back, obviously, because it is a halter top. You know, you've got kind of an open back. This might be a little bit too droopy. Again, you could tighten that up some when, you know, figuring out your muslin and all of that. But that's really cute. I think that's going to do really well. I think that's going to do really, really well for her. Crape to sheen, rayons, batiks, cotton lawn, gauze. So she didn't mention this and maybe I'm wrong. Maybe this isn't like a jersey, but it looks. It looks like that to me. Maybe she would say on her Instagram, which one they're made out of, especially not that she has the fabric store. OK, so here we are. Notions, elastic, cording, all of that. Three and a half yards, three and a quarter yards, depending on the version you make. So a little bit of a fabric hog, especially considering there's no sleeves or anything. But it must just be because the volume and, you know, the cross bodice does take extra fabric. All right, finished bust measurements, 36 and a half to 51 and a half. And the hip measurements are 38 and a half to 54 and a half. Again, just kind of a lot of design ease there. Cute. OK, next up we've got is probably going to be a women's. Yep, women's dress and jacket. So sizing here is 18 to 24 and then 26 to 32. The neck or jewel neckline dresses have flared skirt, optional three quarter length sleeves and self-belt backs have invisible zipper and back waist darts. Princess seam jacket has shaped him lines and is fully lined. OK, so beautiful little neckline here. We've got princess seams. We've got a set in sleeve waist seam. I'm presuming underneath this belt, some pockets and like a full skirt that goes below the knee. Here is sleeveless and in a print. Beautiful kind of your classic bit and flair with princess seams. There's the version the model's wearing. And then here's another little version without the belt and then the sort of jewel neckline. Here is our jacket. Um, maybe they were going for like an Easter church Easter Sunday type vibe with this. I think our biggest critique of the women's patterns so far has been that they're all kind of matronly, you know, like. This is this is one of the cuter ones that we've seen from simplicity. So I'm not going to criticize it too much, but it is giving me mother of the bride, giving me Easter Sunday. Here's the back, invisible zipper, back waist darts. And then there's the belt. It's not terrible. It's just not as fun and flirty as maybe I think our full-figured friends deserve. But it's a nice, lovely little dress. You know, every woman probably has an occasion to wear a dress like this every now and again. But like how many of these can we crank out as a designer? How many patterns are we going to give, you know, the women's category that look just like this? You picking up when I'm putting down? Also, we never see the jacket, which is like, you just didn't make one for her. Like, I don't know. I want to see the jacket on too. I think that they are pretty good about whenever there's two pieces, a dress and a jacket, dress and pants, tops and pants, whatever they end up making samples of both, but this one, they didn't, so. All right, cotton blends, crateback satin, double knit, linen blends, PK, Ponty, Poplin, Satine. Yeah, all of those like sort of mid, lighter side of mid-weight woven. Here are all your notions. And then fabric requirements, three and a half, three and three quarters, just about the dress C. Oh, the sleeveless version is only one and one. No, the sleeveless version is three and three eighths. And then you need a little bit of lining because the bodice is lined. And then your jacket, you need a little bit more than, a little less, well, a little bit more than one and a half yards for your jacket, but both the lining and the dress. Please see the guide for finished garment measurements. So, this gets unhappy with that too. I get it, I get it. Okay, so here are our lion drunks. Again, very classic, you know, fit and flare. This has given me a little bit of a vintage vibe also, sort of, I definitely think this is something you would see like, you know, on the show, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, but is it something that the, is it something Midge would wear or is it something like her mom would wear? You know, I don't know. Okay, next we have, is this the same? No, it can't be. It is. It's the same dress, but for Mrs. So, that's so interesting, two separate listings. Normally they would just have like four sizes in this selector size, but they didn't. They gave the Mrs. category its own listing and then the women's category its own separate listing. So, you can see that they made the jacket for this girl. So, you can see what that looks like. I don't think that because she's slimmer, this looks any less matrily. But, again, it's one of those dresses. You need a fit and flare. You need it for weddings, for church, for, you know, special occasions, day events and all of that. So, if you don't have one, you know, this is not a bad one. Maybe it's this jacket that's just really throwing me off. I don't know. I think we need to move on. I'm just like finding myself spiraling when it comes to this. The dress is great. The jacket, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. And I also don't know why they got two separate listings. I don't know. That's kind of making me feel a little bit icky. I don't know why. Okay, so. Dress, Mrs. Dress. Deep sweetheart neckline dresses have bust cuffs adjustment into links with option for contrast overlay. This pattern features gathered waistband and gathered skirts, back variations for deep V opening or closed back with waist darts. Okay, a lot going on. These prints, I get it's early spring. They're wanting to give us the florals and the pastels and all of that. I don't think that that is helping with the matrily look of all of this. So instead of seeing this print, I'm going to envision Kate Middleton and in a beautiful, rich tone, deeply saturated, solid color. Okay, try and picture that with me. All right, so we've got this deep sweetheart, which is super deep, you know? I mean, when they say deep, I was kind of picturing deep, but no, we're just this sort of a sweet deep. You've got a like fuller sleeve. Then you've got like a cummerbund waistband into a gathered skirt that is midi length. Here is another version, slightly more modern fabric choice here. You can also see the princess seams here. I'm not getting this from her. Maybe there's two different Vs. No, all of these are the same. That's a sleeveless version. And then what is this quilted fabric? I don't know what that is. All right, here it is from the side again. And then here's the back. They chose to do the closed back version, but there is also a deep V back version. Again, sort of retro vibes, but also younger and more modern. This one, I guess the cross lines is some kind of netting or something. So really sweet, fit and flare, airing on the little bit of like the fancier side, brocade, charmous, chintz, cotton blends, crepe, damask, dubiani, jacquard, lame, silky types, tapeta and double knit. So it really kind of runs the gamut here between very structured to very drapey and a lot of different weights. Like cotton blends and crepe can be lightweight, but dubiani and chantung are usually pretty weighty. And then you can have this contrast, which is what that netting thing was in chiffon, georgette lace tool, embroidered mesh, novelty shear. So the embroidered mesh is very inspiring. But again, that's a fancy dress. It would be a beautiful wedding dress. Am I wrong? Like even if you wanted to make it floor length, I think it would be really pretty at the very least like a rehearsal dinner dress or something. They have all this, I was just at Joanne the other day, they have all this mesh with like pearls. That would be so pretty. Okay, so we have notions include just a zipper and thread, three, four yards ish. The bodice is lined and then your overlay and then finished box measurements are 34 to 49 and a half. Yeah, she's cute. She's just a little bit more mature, I think than the simplicity brand is or has been really trying to target. So again, we've separated out the women's version. I, maybe some of you guys can verbalize why that feels wrong to me. I'm sure there's a good reason, like maybe something to do with like e-commerce and having them separated makes it easier to search. I don't know, but I'm just not loving how they're getting like separate pattern numbers. I don't know. But regardless, let's give her her time to shine because she looks all amazing. And here's that kind of like, this one isn't embroidered, it's the one that has a little velvet dots on the mesh, but that's kind of the vibe that they're going for. And you can see that the mesh is like bigger than the underlining. So it does create more of like an illusion, really pretty. And then the deep V on her is like, yes, ma'am. Yes, ma'am, here I am with my deep V. So she looks incredible. They did give her the deep V in the back as well. That I appreciate that they gave the straight size girl the full back and then gave the deep V to the full or figured woman. Appreciate that because there are no reason why she can't wear the deep V. As you can see, she pulls it off beautifully. So yeah, there we have it, super cute. But clearly this is a fancy dress. Okay, so now we have some sportswear. I feel like we're going off the rails, guys. I feel like I was so excited, first big four. And then here we are with Return of the Jedi. Oh, who's wearing those? I don't understand. Okay, they describe it as a jacket with hidden button placket, front and back way starts and attached sleeves, sleeveless knit pull on top with bias tape finish, crop pants and midi skirt with side front pockets and invisible side seam zipper. Okay, so we have a grown on sleeve, a high neck invisible button placket and then you have your pants which we can't really see the waistband of. Here's the knit top, I guess. This is your basic tank top. Here's the pant, the pant is nice enough, right? And then this little jacket thing with it does have seaming here. Here's another view of the pant. I don't know, this is the skirt. Thank God they didn't make the skirt. So here she is with a knit tank top. The jacket opened up and the pant is that better? I don't know. I just, I don't know if it's the color. I don't know what's happening. I don't know what's happening. The pants do fit really well in her derriere. So I'll give them that. Yeah, the belt is not doing anybody any favors. I have nothing to say. I'm speechless, I think. I'm speechless. I don't know. Maybe it's like futuristic, cool, modern. I don't know, I can't tell. But I think done off like this, the styling is, the hair too, like, I don't know. I don't know about this. Okay. The knit tank top is interlock jersey, ITY, bamboo, modal, perfect. And then the jacket and pants are chambray, cotton blends, linen blends, PK satin, seersucker, stretch woven, stubble knit, or panty. Single wide bias tape for A? No, you can't put woven bias tape on a knit top. Okay. Six buttons, one invisible zipper. All right. A little one yard wonder on the knit top. The jacket is almost two yards, pants, and then the skirt. So we've got finished garment measurements for the knit top are gonna be a little bit different than the jacket. That makes sense. Same with the pants versus the skirt. Okay. All right, I kind of just need to move on from this one. That's men in black that from our memories. This looks like a completely different collection, which is why I scrolled down. What is this background? Okay. So, Mrs. Toppin dresses, alphanumeric sizing, all the sizes in one envelope. Oh, the hat and the flowers.  Look, it gets even worse. What's with the hat? What's with the hat? Look, look. Let me smell these flowers. They're fake. Wow. I don't know what to make of this at all. At all. Okay. So we have a square neckline with a yolk that goes into like a sweetheart.  No waist seam or anything. Just kind of close away from the body and then you have a band at the bottom. You also have this top, okay, with the yolk and the sweetheart and the sleeve. That's actually, like if I were to crop it around all of this, that's actually pretty cool. Like a little bit peasant-y. They added a little bit of trim here. That's kind of neat. I don't hate that. This with the contrast fabrics and I don't know. I don't know. What are we, what are they trying to accomplish here? Who are they trying to attract with this? Like what buyer? Somebody really young? Like I can see like a tween being like, whoa, cool, look, all these different colors and different fabrics and that's fun. But this girl's like 20 something. She's so unhappy. Okay. Like I said, this one's pretty cool. I think this could be cool, maybe not so much with all the contrast, maybe like a different kind of contrast, maybe a different weight and structure of fabric altogether, I don't know. Shallie, chambray, cotton types, double gauze, handkerchief linen, linen types, peach skin, please don't use peach skin, rayons and silky types. The top takes two and three eighths of a yard. Wow. How is that possible? The dress takes less than the top. No. Oh, it doesn't, because they have the contrast extra. Good gracious. Three and three quarters of a yard for this dress. No, no, no, no, no, no. Just no. The bus, the finished bus measurement is 32 and a half up to 53 and a half. Oh man, I am just like, again, this is cute, but what is taking up all that fabric? They must have this self lined, which you don't need to do. I don't think the sleeve is lined and the bodice isn't lined. So this just must be self lined.  So maybe that would cause it to be a bit of a fabric hog, but it's not that cute. It's not spend money on three and a half yards of fabric, cute. Okay, here we are with the skirts again. Six to 14 and then 16 to 24. Cute. I think I'm gonna like this. Plated or gathered skirt have waistband, side seam pockets and side zipper, link variations and optional side seam slit.  Like, we would buy that. So, but okay, so we've got like a defined waistband. It looks to be a little bit curved and then you have your little plates that come down in your optional side seam slit. And then here it is and kind of like a linen-y version. It is just a basic pleated skirt. It's like, yeah, I probably have this in my stash, but the length of it, the side seam slit, this like super defined yoke with the gathers, that feels kind of new and fresh. I wish they would have made that version because I'd like to know how gather-y it is, you know? But yeah, I don't know. It feels new and fresh to me for some reason, even though like I said, I probably have seen patterns like this a good million times. Maybe it's like because I have a new kind of outlook on my personal style, whereas I normally would have just kind of like written this off. Now I can actually see myself wearing it and so that's why it feels so new. Shally, Charmous, Cottonblends, Crape Machine, Double Georgeette, Silky Types, yes. One in five eighths for the shorter version of the pleated one. Yeah, one and a half to two and a half yards. And then they did not give us a waistband measurement.  But here are our line drawings. They put a pocket in this one. Well, I guess it's in all of them. Yeah, could be cool. I like that. I need more skirts too, so. Okay, we might be back on track and hopeful. We have these cute little pants. Okay, not terrible. All right, so six to 14 and then 16 to 24. Cropped pants with front zipper and elasticized back waistband, belt carriers and yolks have three pocket variations. Pant hems are wide or pegged with back hem darts. What is a back hem dart? So super fun. All right, we've got a curved waistband, a yolk in the front, and then we're gonna get three different pockets. So this one is sort of like, not a welt. It's like a inverted patch pocket, kinda. And then you have an actual patch here. So they all have, at least on the front, maybe the back two, this little seam down the front leg, that makes it infinitely easier to fit, because now instead of just your out seam and in seam, you know, to work with width, you have this to play with. So if you have a full thigh or anything like that, it just makes it a lot easier to adjust.  I think that that's cool. I think that's really cool. So here, this is the pocket that she had on with the little patch pocket. And then you've got your actual patch pocket. What kind of pocket did these have? So these must have them just sewn in the side seam, maybe. I think these are cool. I like the way that it's styled. Like I like everything about it.  Okay, here's where things could blow up. So we're about to look at the elasticized back, okay? And sometimes these can come off a little bit diapery. So not bad. Okay, okay, okay, not bad at all. Not bad at all. All right, lots to take in here. I really like this. I'm gonna be getting this pattern. This is getting me like so excited, as you can tell. So we've got a back yolk as well, back patch pockets. But look how cool this is.  Again, if you have a fuller bum, especially like a low hanging bum, you can make some adjustments here. It doesn't go all the way down the middle so it won't adjust for calves. But I feel like it's cool and interesting and looks neat. Which I think that that's what I am looking for in patterns these days. I get that everybody needs the basic, they're just starting out. But for those of us that have been sewing for 10 plus years and buying big four patterns since the beginning, we need a little bit something, something. So this feels cool. I'm here for this 100%. Okay, so I get the line drawing that looks funky, this looks crazy. But it's not like that on her, because it's not black and white and I don't think you'd be doing contrasting top stitching. I mean, that could be cool if that's your thing. This does look, I get it, that it looks really funny. I get that it looks really funny in the line drawing, but just trust me on this. These are cool. Oh goodness, okay. Chino, cotton blends, lightweight denim. Not like Chambray, but like a seven ounce denim versus a 12 ounce denim. Linen blends, twill for sure. They have this, actually, again, just at Joanne, they have a camo. Can you imagine using camo? That would be really cool. Okay, so a button, a zipper, and then elastic for the back. I mean, less than two yards, depending on the version that you're making, right about two yards. And then your finished hip is 35 1 1⁄2 to 52 1⁄2. Finished, so pretty cool. I will be getting those for sure. 100% so cool, love it. Love it, love it. All right, we have a bralette and panties, Mrs. and Women's all-in-one size here. So all sizes come in one. This is interesting, wasn't Madeleine a simplicity designer? Or did we, oh no, this is her. Okay, okay, okay. Then that makes sense why they're all-in-one size. I don't know anything about bra making, so we will just quickly look at the photo so you can kind of get an idea of what this looks like. But I genuinely do not know how to analyze a lingerie pattern, like at all. But they all look great. I would never wear this personally, but they all look fantastic. Lots of different versions.  Have I gone back through again? Nope, still not at the end.  Okay, I guess you have to show the back. So there you go. Do we see a line drawings? No, here are line drawings. So they do have a fuller back if that's for you and then all of this. Yeah, more of a comfort over cute. All right, so here is, oh my gosh, that is too much. Okay, so we've got costumes, children's clothes, doll clothes. Oh, they added some adaptive clothes. That's interesting. Okay, so real quick, we have a little, they're calling it a top, but it's more like a little windbreaker.  That's actually pretty cool. I would make this. Let's see it on the moment.  They're calling it tops, but it's definitely like a jacket. Here is the back active wear knits. Cotton nylon is where I'd put it, ripstop for sure. And then I guess all the sizes are in one and then you have to A, B, and then come. Oh yeah, so you have to take your A or your B and then add in your details and then finish garment measurements for 32 and a half to 55 and a half and then the line drawings. That's really cool, I would make that and wear that for sure. I love that it has a little hook in the back, cute. Yes, and all the sizes in one. I can see myself wearing that for sure. All right, so you've got a men and boys track suit this little kid, this little kid, too much. Then we've got vintage, like re-designs, but what's it called when they sell it again? Again, I don't really know how to analyze vintage, especially when it's just like a illustration that doesn't really tell me much about fit. Little vintage apron, you've got a costume and then kids clothes and doll clothes, baby clothes. Those are not dolls, those are people, never mind.  Wow, and the little baby robes and then here's the adaptive clothing. Let's take a look at this. Cardigan has traditional V neck front buttons are for appearance only. So it's a pullover, faux overlap on all views can be in either direction, full back opening closures are hook and loop fastener tape for easy on and easy off dressing get created with options. So for those who have difficulty with range of motion when it's too painful to raise one's hands above the head or on the back, opens and back with hook and loop fastener tape for assisted dressing, placket front is closed, sewn closed. So this is sewn closed and then in the back. So this is for, they're obviously using this, these elderly people to demonstrate this, so it's also for people who are in wheelchairs. So interesting. Here is the button down shirt. Again, similar to where the front is sewn closed and then the back has your Velcro. So cool, thoughtful. And I don't see any, I can't think of anybody who's sewing for, sewing in, or not sewing, designing clothes for people with special needs. So that is really cool. Coast simplicity. Then we have another page here. Oh, here's a whole bunch more. Okay, so yeah. So recovery gowns, love that. Obviously recovering from some kind of surgery. And so you get in and out of it like this. You also have this thing that kind of just mid-calf or below knee, hook and loop closures and front pocket, large enough for monitors and devices. This is incredible. It feels like they really did a lot of research to kind of figure out what people need. Oh, here are the line drawings. So you can see all of that here. So cool. And then here's the one for the woman in the wheelchair. This is an adult bib. They're calling it. So there they all are in their different styles. There are, okay. So here are the line drawings. They are like adult bibs. That's definitely what they are. Are they only meant for, forgive me that I don't know this, but yes, okay. I was gonna ask, are they only for eating? And it looks like it is. So protect clothing from food and drink spills. So I'm guessing they also have you use some kind of fabric that is cotton, cotton blends, flannel, chambray. Yeah, just washable type stuff, not necessarily like waterproof. Cool.  This is amazing. Look at all of them. Here, let's go this way. Something funky on the picture there, but. I mean, I do sort of wish they would have chosen models that actually have hair loss, but I guess beggars can't be choosers. Probably hard enough to find models right now as it is, but. So there are your chemo head coverings and then we've got a what? Hot and cold comfort pack. Look at that thing. It's like a whole extra person.  Microwave for heat and put in the freezer for cold, filled with rice or flaxseed. They contour easily to the body. Okay, give me this. So you've got like a front body one, which I don't know if you guys can tell. I still have my cough and I have cracked a rib from coughing so much and so hard for so long. So this just is like, I need this right now. You've also got this back, this one for your back, little ankle ones, little knee ones. It's so cool. So cool. I would make those. Especially when you knew somebody that was like gonna be going through something. I mean, how wonderful would it be to have something homemade, cute. I love this. I love this. And then you have your wheelchair accessories. You have your Walker bags and then slip covers, car accessories. Wow, they really went all out with the, oh my gosh, with the accessory and craft stuff. So stuffies, doll clothes, and then it's literally honey. So it's like a bandana with like built in. She would never, with her little ears sticking out of the holes. No. Oh my goodness. It's a bunny rabbit. Should I try? Should I try this with the ears, the ear holes? Look, it's one for every holiday. Oh my God. Frenchy in a French outfit. Oh, that's really cool. I should get that just, just in case. Just in case.  I don't know, guys. I don't know if they would wear that or not. Well, we would definitely try. We could try. Too cute. All right, so that was like a whole lot of serotonin released there in the end. A lot of feel good, but back to the nitty gritty of the women's garment patterns. What do we think? I think that if you're asking me, there are some real like shining moments here. Some real cute stuff that I don't feel like I have in my wardrobe already that feel new, feel fresh. Then we kind of went through a moment where I don't know what was happening there, especially here and here. Like what is this? Both of these, I just need to be zapped for my memory. But then we got it back with these last few that we had. So I'd love to know what you guys think. Let me know in the comments section below. Otherwise, I have linked to last week's first impression Friday here in the end slate. Feel free to check that out if you're wanting a little bit of a binge. Otherwise, I will see you guys very soon. Bye.


Well Really good series from France a couple years old called Marianne, okay, that's a scary scary series That's what we're reviewing one moment of occultic stuff that we fast-forwarded through because I don't want to see people using wedgie boards But other than that it was really really good So bye everybody. That's all we wanted to say today Go watch Marianne on Netflix We watch something that you guys wanted us to watch So funny somebody on it like everything right now. I'm sure you've seen whoever it is. It's doing this It's like this is my third request.  Yeah, I mean we get to quite a few But yes, this one is in a requested Almost as long as but who Bali too was oh, yeah This is one of the most Unknown films in Bollywood history very few people know about this film. Yes, especially the music Yeah songs and and the stars not very very many people in it unknown people and unknown director Ah, it flew under the radar in the big festival circuit a lot of years Hopefully this review will bring greater attention to it We watch G3G or Khabi Khabi They guys that's the only reason I know how to say that it's because of now a lot of G She sang it which she sang it as far as the title is concerned What well because it means this isn't gonna be exact I forgot the exact thing It's like sometimes things are happy sometimes things are sad. Yeah, and I guess it's true Sometimes things are happy sometimes things are seven movie But yeah, I think there could have been a better title for it. I like K3G I actually started looking for K3G and couldn't find K3G Because I was looking for just K3G.  Yeah, I was gonna say Chopra, but it's a different one I think I'm guessing that's his father. I can't imagine it's not Nepotism? You know if I'd known that before probably wouldn't have watched it. Anyways, starring a few people I'm talking Bakchun, Jaya Bakchun, Shahrukh Khan, Kajol, Rithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor, Rani Mukherjee, Johnny Lever and then a whole bunch of other cast as well, but Yeah It's gonna be a spoiler for you because I think you've all seen it I think I think and if you haven't if you have four hours Go watch it come back real quick real quick rick your initial thoughts, please the greatest movie ever made bar none just kidding Actually didn't dislike it as I thought I might based on what people had had said it actually had There were a couple of like touching moments I was never invested in any of the characters to the extent that I cared enough to but like There were some really nice emotional availability things from everybody in the cast I made myself appreciate How awful things were some of it we knew in advance. Yeah, uh, I like ddlj better I wouldn't watch it again But I thought you liked kuch kuch better than ddlj Yes, and I like that even better than that. Yeah, so all that to say this wasn't As bad as I thought it was going to be going in. Yeah, so that was nice and but Man isn't long. Oh, yeah, it's definitely long It's it's a long drive home. You know what this movie's like. It's like driving from san antonio to el paso It's really really long really really long and there's not much to look at Yeah, but you're glad you made the trip because you have somewhere you want to get I disagree. I really enjoyed this film good for you. Yeah No, uh more than I enjoyed ddlj. Really? Okay. I want to know why One I was expecting like you way worse way worse Oh, I have something else I want to say about the indian element which we'll get to And how important that is basically, um, I was expecting All the worst cringe parts of ddlj and and and kuch kuch hold the high Throughout this film. I was expecting it to be the poo sequences that we saw and the Hey bomb take a chill pill all the way. Yeah, and it wasn't it wasn't maybe it was just my expectations were insanely low Uh, but it was yes a hundred percent. It's way too long. It's it's yeah, it's it's way too long It's like going to get a cleaning and it turning into a root canal. Yes way too long way too long But uh overall I I I think it was less cringy than than uh kuch kuch hold the high and ddlj And and so then also I I ended up I actually did I I don't know. Maybe if I didn't care for the character more I'm I'm in love with all these actors. That's that's the point. I want to make that that might be the Like because here's the thing. Okay, we'll get into this now. I enjoyed this. All right, um kujol, right love kujol um She had a bunch of way over the top Moments in this she was she was smoking cocaine. Yeah. Yeah somebody like one of the group because they knew I was watching it and they were like, uh, how do you what do you think of kujol? I'm like I love her too much to care right? It's like I see it I see what you're talking about and like there was there was a lot of times where you know She was just like kind of the bubbly at the beginning of kuch kuch hold I A lot of times not all the times like I think every single actor in this had moments of Like over the top correct even big b. Yeah shocker. Um, Except for jaya baksha. Uh, I thought jaya was yeah, I thought jaya. She was probably grounded the whole time Yeah, the entire time And so overall I think it's just it's one of those and even though I watched it in three parts This was like, there's no way I'm gonna. I did not watch it in one sitting There's no way I'm gonna sit down and watch a three and a half hour film Um, one that some of that is leader and there was a sleep and I could have probably watched it Maybe in two But I I I pushed it out to three but it's one of those that's I I enjoyed the story in terms of like the watching these characters Obviously amazing songs that we reacted to every single one of them Um, and there was some really touching moments Throughout even though I questioned big b's parenting methods quite a bit and his husband dream. Yes But um overall I think a lot I've enjoyed all the songs except for The that one that was when you Rithik and poo were introduced to each other and that song and we were like And I wasn't really feeling that thing you want to react to it Right, I still wasn't really feeling that song me too. I enjoyed you know my son Yeah, way more in the context of the film. I did even though it still makes no sense Obviously, so there's big club number I know but you know, that's what this film was and so it was I think it was just a fun entertaining enjoyable Film that is way too long. Yeah, and I I have there's two elements of it first of all the Enjoyability factor and you mentioned it a second ago for me for I think everybody is Knowing and okay running with courage all all of these actors. I was going to go down the list of them We just did that We deeply care about and love these actors as artists and people we've become really attached to them and care about them So seeing them interacting and doing what they're doing It has a level of Enjoyability for us because we know them and have seen their work and we care about them I think for someone who doesn't know these people from adam I believe if an american for example saw this as their first indian film It would reaffirm everything they've ever thought about mollywood and they wouldn't want to watch another indian film Probably the most indian film and that's the other aspect is but this is something I love about it that I think if someone Went in to see it. I would encourage them to get to know these people first Get to know this.  Thank you for Taking us and guiding us because we needed to wait to see this but the other the other element is This is such an indian film in terms of What family means? Yeah to them How parents are how parents are they have for the parents and the living together aspect of family that sense of and I'm actually It's funny. I'm really starting to see and embrace this because I'm I don't you guys may not know this But I have been since june. I'm actually not only my mom reconnected relationally, but I'm actually living with my mom right now and That has been a blessing because I haven't lived with either of my parents my entire adulthood And this was something we intentionally did for a lot of reasons not the least of which being the connection and when they mention There's a moment where uh srk is talking to kajal and saying Both of them are saying missing the warmth of an elder. I think rithic says it too in the home And that's not an american value at all And it's sad because I I personally think It's a great value unless it's like a mexican american family right from another culture. Yeah from another culture but like the like My mom and her husband dale they went away for the weekend and I was there by myself and I actually missed the presence of having Them in the place and I absolutely can see That moment when letterman asked ashwari arrived Wow, you live with your mother-in-law. She's like, yeah And that is I think something For indians, especially this touches a place that's so deep and important and personal for them That if somebody didn't even know that like the I would never in a million years suggest this to someone who doesn't know India culture they're not already invested in bollywood. Yeah, yeah And indian culture to know the depth of what it means to live with family. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, so this one is like I said, uh, I would I would actually watch this again Like if it was on No, I don't think may I might be able to get full through if it's just on in the background If it was on I would absolutely watch it. I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it and I wouldn't recommend it Yeah to anybody. Um, oh, like I said, unless they're already invested in indian culture Um, like, you know how I've introduced zack to a bunch of stuff One I think you could probably appreciate this even more than we could because he tolerated twilight back in the day Oh He can twirl away He could twirl away No more fun is him. He could he can he has now admitted. He was like, I was in love with a girl who loved twilight He could watch he could watch boyhood But yeah for most for the most part I would make sure that they're already invested and in one this is a huge part of bollywood history Masses if you love the the people you you probably like the film not really their performances for the most part Even though I will talk about their performances one. I love cajole. This is probably her She was so endearing the entire time to me I don't know if it was delighting the makeup or what she just looked She won it looked incredible, but let's add a controversy to this. I was talking to ronnie about this Because I said to her and some of you may disagree and you may disagree So this is the at least the second film. We've seen where srk has had no interest in ronnie mccurgey And preferred cajole now I love cajole. Also, they all have like the same name. She's I know. She's adorable I think she's wonderful. That's not an easy thing to do, but Ronnie mccurgey is not just a throwaway that is like you like me and I'm just not that interested again It's really hard to believe that someone would look at ronnie mccurgey and go I don't think he did that.  Yeah, but cajole You know, she had her big bubbly moments just like she didn't coach control die But There was moments the most emotional moments I felt were with her Obviously, I never I do have a favorite moment though. That's it's not her though. It's not her. Yeah, no when Both moments because obviously she deeply cared about getting the father's blessing And so oh, yeah, both times when it was in the mall and at the very end when she was actually finally able to take the blessing from Big right, right, right, even though she shouldn't have because he was a dick We'll talk about that. Um, but it was I thought that was probably one of the best moments of the film I I really enjoyed I I appreciated everybody's everyone's emotional availability was believable That was the most shocking thing for me for something I thought was going to be cheesy and stupid throughout Shocker. I was surprised who had some good scenes. Yeah, I was surprised Everybody was believable with their emotion. I didn't see force crying There was one moment of like for many of them Pouring tears and snot. Yeah, and my favorite moment. I really enjoyed it. I like the way current johar Shot it was the moment with big b and s r k just profile with each other When he finally gives in and he says but you don't love me He's how you should know better than to know that because I said the gas lighting moment the gas lighting moment And but I love that moment because they were both That was a great pair. It was a great scene because I talked about it. Well big b I thought he did a good job of making one either lovable slash By his actions hateable character big b does whatever he did. Yeah, but he even had some moments I'm pretty sure it's because of kiran johar or what he wanted from him and because that's just his style But he he thunder. Yeah, there was and but he didn't use music for accent. He used god and nature He even had some over-the-top moments very few but he had some over-the-top moments But that scene with him and s r k at the end. He showed why he's one of the Legend he was beautiful knock that scene out of the park and so did s r k I thought s r k did a really good job in that scene as well S r k I thought it was actually more subdued in this one for the most part than the other part for the most part It's still a kiran johar almost 90s shamo con. Yeah, it's weird because I would say if someone asked What do you think is the weirder of the of the of the blood and keep going back to ddlj and and this right? Without kuch kuch that that's that's also there, but of those two I thought k3g was going to be the weirder of them and I actually think ddlj is the weirder Yeah, in terms of his performance. Yeah, actually, but I I actually like the like the weirdness of that and salman con going Hey great basketball. I that stuff for me. I enjoyed that quirky weirdness. It's not that I disliked That was kuch kuch. Am I missing them all up? Oh, anyway This one I didn't dislike this one, but it was a one and done for me It was oh, I get it. I'm glad I saw it. It's one of those things where like I said I I see why Indians love this film. I absolutely I can also see why some Indians hate this film Sure, because it's a very polarizing film Yep, if you if you're not either in the mood if you don't like these people if you if you don't like this style If you can't appreciate it if you can't handle the simultaneous talking and the quintessential for me is the mom Take a tube. Yeah. Yeah. Let's talk about poo though I loved poo. Uh, I love to obviously we saw her big corkiest moment. I feel like in the introduction scene Yeah, that was but she surprised me often in terms especially toward the end like with her scenes with rithic she Obviously we've seen her before and she's a good actor Yeah, but that's no I wasn't attracting you from poo because I was like, oh, I've been told you're not ready for poo Right.  Yeah, and she wasn't I thought she did like this film It could have almost been two parts the corki parts and Yeah, really good and still been a long time for each kiss here's something that I just just doesn't make any sense at all so Did they not care did they not think about the fact that the kid is going to play rithic When he was younger should have green eyes. Did that hurt anybody out there? Hello Also the fact that uh, it was a 10 years fan and rithing now looks 30 30 and everyone else hasn't aged It's one of those things you just Kind of like, you know in coach coach where you just accepted it because it's It's kiren johar like they look the exact same like they were in high school and then they when they're older They look the exact same um, and then the uh, some of the other fun moments, um one rithic always off to the side crying Like there's if there was a scene sha Rook in control or something rithic would come from the behind He was crying crying and looking Crying and looking and then those moments of yes, we should talk to father We should talk to father srk looks at him You should talk to your father Wonder why he made that face I loved it. It was so it was so weird and endearing. Um, but yeah that one of my favorite lines I think I texted it to you. It was sort of oh, yeah. Yeah. I loved it. You did shower cons He's he's comes from behind him control and he says oh, yeah, I'm gonna take over your sweet meat shop He sent me a text of that screenshot. He said this is getting spicy Oh, I loved it. Yeah, I loved it. Um, but uh, let's see, uh, who didn't I talk about? Oh, uh, I want to talk about jaya bachchan. She was I think the strongest actor in the entire thing I would agree with you. Uh, she never had any moments like the the rest of them No, it really felt like it felt like she approached this like a like Thespianatic legit grounded character, but also she didn't have the same things written for her that some of the other actors That's true. So my moments were pretty much she was kind of the heart of the film. Obviously big b Let's talk about that.  You're not my child. You're adopted go away, right? And then 10 years later saying Why did you believe that? Yeah, why like why do you should know better than to believe that? Where have you been? It's your why didn't it's your fault in charlotte consul? It you're right.  It's a hundred percent your fault big b also great scene jaya bachchan calling him out Yeah, and she was like you were wrong and then she was like and I said it. Yeah I love that moment great moment Making big b eat his own words, but yeah, the whole gaslighting part was like No, what are you? What are you even saying right now? That's a hundred percent your fault, right?  Yeah But it obviously I think one of the reasons indians can relate to this I feel like a lot of people are like, yeah, that's dads are kind of absolutely not exactly like that But they're like that style. They're very I can't tough punishment kind of and I can't I can't imagine How many indians have faced so many of these they can empathize with so many things in this from Uh, parents disowning you because you're making choices that don't align with the choices they wanted for you Uh, missing a loved one whether it was because they chose to not be with you Or maybe they passed away and you're somewhere and you don't feel the warmth of family that you used to because family Is so important to to indians So I I imagine that that's like the the heartbeat of this for everybody is I thought this was going to be about the quirkiness. Yeah, and to my surprise. I felt like actually this is Got quite a bit of heart. Yeah, this is a lot more. It was a lot more Dramatic Family feel than I still like I like if all three of those were on This is the one I would choose third Of the three we've just talked about. No, I would shoot. Yeah, I would probably I mean outside of the length It is really long even though those other ones. I think are three hours. I think right. Yeah, but this one's almost like like gone Yeah, this is three and a half hours Uh, total, um, and I'm sure there's a bunch on the editing room floor as well Probably so, um Like I said, uh, I don't know if we mentioned all the songs Outside of that one. I've really really enjoyed it. I think we wrecked it to most of them. I think we saw virtually everyone I enjoyed them As much if not more in the context. Yeah, the fact that I'm gonna talk about time just starts dancing It's one of it's like it's literally like a Hollywood musical. Yeah, like there's song numbers that just start out of nowhere Yes, um, but they're big They're fun, um, and then And in case you're wondering I didn't see Because I mentioned this on a reaction But I I had previously was in a bad headspace when I first saw the uh, you were my sonia song Yeah, went back and saw it again was going to post it on my channel a long story short It was blocked blah blah blah. So seeing it the third time. I had the same reaction. I did the second time Yeah, it was like most everything else in the in the thing and also I mean Was what was this in terms of was this the thing that catapulted rific? Or am I forgetting another film as far as like everybody realizing Wow, this guy can really dance Uh, oh in terms of dancing. Yeah. Oh, I don't dancing aspect. I know he did a few films before this Well, I don't know how much he danced In them well, we reacted to I think his debut film and he was he was it was a musical number in that one Because I think it was directed by his father. Okay Well, he just proved again.  Yeah, he's he's absolutely incredible some of the score Uh, like the thunder Adored that it was it was all extremely over the top melodramatic, but like different than like dev dost melodramatic. It was like Weird corky so over the top dramatic. Yeah, as opposed to the soap opera style Yeah, it's the difference of we're doing this because we think it's really going to make a really dramatic point because it's not Versus we're going to make this as big of a dramatic point as we can. I mean, this is the heavens are thundering Yeah, it's it worked. Yeah. Um, and then there was one thing Let me say one other thing and I forgot what it was baby acting. No, he was good about the three you would choose No, no Codlock. Oh, no the uh, yeah.  It just it was it was so incongruent I didn't I didn't know it was gonna be the national anthem But I was like no, they're gonna do some indian song, right? You know, I was like national anthem. I'm like, oh, and then they obviously also I can guarantee everybody in the theater Stood up and immediately when that happened Um, and so I was like that just adds to the Indianness of this film. Yes the fact that they just inserted a national anthem song in the middle of it Yeah, so it's it's one of those that I I'm glad we finally got to it because it's a huge part of bollywood history Yeah, it is and now that like we can be in on some of the the inside inside scoops and jokes and and and all that kind of stuff I'm I'm I'm actually much more interested in karina capore now Even though obviously this is her crowning performance by any means. I'm not saying that But uh, I I already cared for everybody else and she was the one that that wasn't on the level Not in terms of acting but in terms of my love for her We had just hadn't seen hadn't seen enough her and that's the other thing about it being something in bollywood history I think it's also something that if you love any of these people Go down the list. I'm gonna talk about John Jay about John Shah Rukh Khan Kajol Rithik Roshan Karina Kapoor You Karin Johar This is part of the Legacy of their resume that is kind of like you need to know this film if you care about these people and if you don't You kind of need to see that film. It's like a quintessential Hallmark watershed moment for a lot of them. So I'm I'm really glad we said so what should be the next Shah Rukh Khan Kajol Big B Shah Rukh I want to see an SRK Uh, Ronnie McCurgy where Ronnie's actually the love interest. I don't know if she's the love interest, but Virzara Where's the one I want the movie. So he's over SRK Kajol. Okay, no, no I want to we had we have seven of theirs to get to right Technically they've been in 12, but seven that they're the leads. Okay. I want them all Yeah, but yeah, I know Virzara is high up there for a lot of people in terms of it's a it's a big romantic film He's what it is, but I don't know if they end up together So because I haven't seen that's that's that's I just want to see her as his love interest Yeah, rather than her having unrequited feelings for him. Yeah. Yeah Let us know have we already seen one. Is there a love story with Ronnie McCurgy and Kajol Get on it. Bollywood lesbian version of broke back mountain It would work I was trying to think of a title
