Pop Culture Happy Hour
The Devil Wears Prada 2 and What’s Making Us Happy

Is it really like what are we talking about here?

Pop Culture Happy Hour
The Devil Wears Prada 2 and What’s Making Us Happy

Okay.

Pop Culture Happy Hour
The Devil Wears Prada 2 and What’s Making Us Happy

Amari, I need to pee.

Pop Culture Happy Hour
The Devil Wears Prada 2 and What’s Making Us Happy

Please, I had a venti.

I think that there is an extent in which you season your movie with these types of little performances from known folks that is expected to raise the gravitas.

Pop Culture Happy Hour
The Devil Wears Prada 2 and What’s Making Us Happy

Because the one person that did that was Kenneth Branagh.

Because there's a couple of scenes in the movie in which Kenneth Branagh is obviously there to be someone who is strong and a supportive slash oppositional force to Miranda Priestly as her husband.

Pop Culture Happy Hour

Mm-hmm.

Pop Culture Happy Hour

which I really appreciated that.

And I feel like when it's done well, then you get a very good accomplished person doing something like that.

And when it's done poorly, you get Pauline Chalamet saying one line and be like, hey, that's Pauline Chalamet and then disappearing.

And I feel like it ends up being crowded out in that way.

Pop Culture Happy Hour
The Devil Wears Prada 2 and What’s Making Us Happy

So I feel like there's a difference between saying like, hey, we're gonna season this with someone who does this well versus we've put nutmeg in this and it's all nutmeg now.

Pop Culture Happy Hour
The Devil Wears Prada 2 and What’s Making Us Happy

It's just nothing but nutmeg and you can't taste anything else.

Pop Culture Happy Hour
The Devil Wears Prada 2 and What’s Making Us Happy

Exactly.

Pop Culture Happy Hour
The Devil Wears Prada 2 and What’s Making Us Happy

Like the Lucy Liu, the Kenneth Branagh, those are the bigger ones that didn't bother me as much as the smaller ones did.

Pop Culture Happy Hour
The Devil Wears Prada 2 and What’s Making Us Happy

Because I'm saying, like, to watch Caleb Herod get, like, three seats.

Pop Culture Happy Hour
The Devil Wears Prada 2 and What’s Making Us Happy

Outrageous.

Pop Culture Happy Hour
The Devil Wears Prada 2 and What’s Making Us Happy

At one point, I just thought, why?

In a chair the whole time?
