What are the internet debates discussed in this episode?
All right, guys, happy Tuesday. Well, at least I'm happy. People on the internet are not happy. They never seem to be happy. Right now, we have two great internet debates that are waging. First and foremost, I'm sure you have seen this, but was the Trump administration correct in deporting a student Palestinian activist from Columbia University. Did you agree with that? Are you following the story? I'm very interested to hear your guys' perspectives. Also, should we now begin feeling bad for Blake Lively because she appeared at her Simple Favor 2 premiere and people are noting that she seems increasingly uncomfortable and anxious and maybe it really is just a lot for her to deal with. So we should discuss that. Should we be more compassionate toward Blake Lively?
Let's jump right into this. Welcome back to Candace. I already know that I'm gonna upset a lot of people in this podcast. It's this thing that I do. I just try to be ideologically consistent. And sometimes that means that you're defending people on the left. Sometimes it means you're defending people on the right. And the people in the middle are always like, well, why don't we just defend ideas? Before we get into the meats and potatoes of today, which is the pro-Palestinian student protester that is being deported by Trump's DOJ, I very quickly want to at first give you my opinion on Blake Lively's appearance at the Simple Favor 2 premiere. South by Southwest premiere. There she is alongside Anna Kendrick.
And I should say, first and foremost, regarding Anna Kendrick, we already knew that she was somewhat upset leading up to this premiere for obvious reasons. I mean, you imagine you work your butt off, you're in this movie, you're fighting with Blake Lively about who should be more prominently featured on all the materials and the advertisements, because I guess that's a thing, like where you're featured on the movie poster. And And Blake Lively wants to be prominently featured. And then she gets herself into this huge situation worldwide. She is sort of despised alongside her husband. And now you've got to recognize that this movie is probably not going to do so well because people are just not going to watch a movie with Blake Lively in it. And the rumors were that she felt that Blake Lively didn't do anything to dispel that. She didn't come out and make a statement.
She didn't come out, you know, with her heart in her hand or say anything. She just kind of allowed this movie to be like an innocent bystander to everything that went on with It Ends With Us. It ends with us, pardon. So leading up to this red carpet, all eyes were kind of on Blake. People were wondering if she was going to bring Ryan. I said, definitely not. That's not going to happen. Obviously, she's adjusting and she's realizing what a bad decision SNL was. People don't like Ryan Reynolds, especially. So she did show up alone. And when Anna Kendrick was asked about Blake Lively on the red carpet, she was a bit pithy. And I would say... Maybe trying to be funny, but definitely made a statement when she was asked about working with Blake. Take a listen.
Hannah, what does it mean to be working with Blake again?
Just, oh, you know, sort of a thing. And there were tons of rumors that, by the way, on the first movie, they didn't get along fantastically. Obviously, they got along enough for them to do the second movie. But you can sense that she's a little bit annoyed. And she knows a lot of questions are going to be coming her way about Blake Lively. And specifically, when she was asked directly by a reporter about everything that was going on, she definitely gave a very cutthroat answer. Here's what she had to say.
The other thing I want to ask you, how does it feel like the movie's being impacted by everything happening around, going on in the world? Why, what happened? I did Ayahuasca, and the last year of my life is just gone, but I've heard the movie's amazing. Wait, thank you.
So I thought it was really interesting, and I'm not sure if anybody has pointed this out yet, that she chose to say ayahuasca and that she couldn't remember anything as her reason as to why she can't respond to this.
