Hi, welcome to Smosh Mouth. I'm Shane.
And I'm Amanda. Just Amanda.
Our special guest today is actually kind of everyone at Smosh in a way.
Yeah, that's so true.
Because what we have today is a curated episode where Selena reached out to everyone who works at Smosh and asked them, hey, what do you want us to talk about? And we got a list here of a bunch of... Varying topics.
Yeah. If you guys want to see one of the other curated episodes we've done, we did one for Kiana's birthday where Courtney presented the episode that Kiana curated for us. And it was so much fun.
And I think pretty soon we're going to do a Courtney episode.
Yeah.
Where Courtney's going to come on and all of the topics are her pitches.

Chapter 2: How do Shane and Amanda feel about January and February?
Yeah, we did.
That I was creative director for. So like I'd been working on that.
So cool. How long were you working on that for?
I came up with the story pitch in June. And I was talking to George Primavera back then and he – he was writing the script. I was like giving notes on it all throughout June and July and then started working on production of it. And like all the improv elements I was coming up with for like all of last year and, um, meeting with Jeremy to like punch up the script and add things. And, um, Yeah.
It was so much fun.
It was really fun.
You guys were doctors. If you haven't seen it, you guys were doctors. You guys were switching off with other castmates who were basically like your doppelganger. Like you guys became one. And then there were just surprise improv elements and I got to be one of them.
Yeah.
Keith and Noah and Anthony and Damien and Chance. We all got to be like surprise. We're here and you guys didn't know it. And that was actually really thrilling for us.

We can't have that happen. Guys, the Broncos have to win. But no matter what, Bad Bunny crushed it.
Crushed. Absolutely crushed.
Yeah. Killed it. Do we want to get into some of these topics? We have a lot of topics to talk about.
Okay. So we asked everyone who works at Smosh.

Let's get into it.
First one, K-pop. It just says K-pop. I wonder who. Guess who you think it was. It was Oli. Okay. They wrote, BTS coming back from the military and having a music comeback and what their general opinions are on K-pop music as a whole.

You guys know NSYNC members. Can you name any BTS members? I cannot.
I can name, Jungkook is one of them, right? Is that BTS? Yeah.
Yeah, so Ollie says yes, that's BTS.
Jungkook is the only BTS member I know because he had a single that was a big, big hit. But I don't know all of them. Do you want to know how I knew? I don't listen to a lot of BTS. I'll be honest, the K-pop that I love are the girl groups. I think the music just hits different. I think like Twice, New Jeans. Cat's Eye? Cat's Eye is, is Cat's Eye K-pop?
They're eh, K-pop.
It's like modeled after K-pop.
Okay, okay. Do you want to know how I first heard about BTS?

In a Smosh video when we were doing a sketch. Remember? BTS Army, like the sketch that we did and I was playing like this general.

Vegeta and Goku, come on.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But no, enemies to lovers. Come on.
Enemies to lovers is fucking awesome.
Enemies to lovers is my absolute favorite, but there is a way to do it right. I think some people rush the storyline. The best enemies to lovers is like that perfect mix of like,

Chapter 7: How does 'Lost' impact storytelling in television?
We don't like each other. We're getting a relationship. We're forced to work together somehow. We're forced to be together, forced proximity. There's something going on, but it has to have enough time to really let it settle. You need to really believe it. And... They have to hate them, but they can't be like super crazy mean.
Yeah.
Because that, it's like, it's tricky.
It has to be justifiable. It has to be justifiable. And that's hard to do, right? You have to kind of like support both of them. Yes. They need to both have their legitimate reasons.
Enemies to lovers is my absolute favorite.
Yeah. I mean, to me, with most stories, because it kind of makes me think of just enemies and rivals, I think almost all stories, how good they are depends upon the antagonist. a bad antagonist makes the story mean nothing, right?

Chapter 8: What is the significance of the 'Curse of the Billy Goat' in sports?
And you think about so many movies and TV shows that are incredible and it's because the antagonist was perfect, right? Like this is why people talk about- Give an example. Thanos in Marvel, right? Thanos, so many Marvel movies are kind of nothing and they kind of have been forgotten. But Avengers is so awesome because Thanos had such a like, you believed him in his commitment.
He's like the dad that's like, let me talk to you real quick.
He wasn't evil for being evil. Like he truly believed his own shit.
Which is the best villain.
And he was such a like kind of human villain for being such a crazy, fantastical being. Best villain. It makes him so engaging and entertaining. I'm trying to think of other really good villains on a more subtle scale. Maleficent. Maleficent. Yeah, I was also going to say a weird one is like Devil Wears Prada.
Oh, yes.
Meryl Streep in that is such a perfect villain because it's like, holy shit, I have to go against you, but I also love you. Oh, and Darth Vader. You have to kind of love the villain. You have to really enjoy seeing them on screen, but also— So much of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren. Like towards the end of, what was that movie that he's in? Like that last movie that he was in?
Oh.
