Sabaa TahirGUEST
10:53
So they really paved the way.
Sabaa TahirGUEST
10:56
Jenny Han, you know, they really paved the way in in a sense for people like me to be able to see that, oh, this is something that, you know, I can do.
Sabaa TahirGUEST
11:05
Now, I think in those early books they had, they didn't necessarily pull in Asian-American culture heavily into their work.
Sabaa TahirGUEST
11:15
But it didn't matter to me.
AmandaHOST
6:46
Yeah.
AmandaHOST
6:47
I also just think because the book, like something like To All the Boys I've Loved Before, like the Jenny Han books, things that really kind of reach this level of cultural zeitgeist, I feel as if this book did not.
AmandaHOST
7:00
So that's why when the movie was, especially also, I guess it being made during the pandemic.
AmandaHOST
7:04
But besides that, I just feel as if the book didn't reach those heights that some of these other ones have reached.
Titus SmithGUEST
3:16
So it's just like we can't.
Titus SmithGUEST
3:18
I just allow them both to have, I allow Jenny Han to have just like made it make sense.
Titus SmithGUEST
3:23
If you really want to, if you want to make it make
Jessica StrausserHOST
3:24
sense, you can.
Titus SmithGUEST
3:25
Like when he said in season three, episode one about how like the whole, he always felt this way.
Titus SmithGUEST
3:30
And it grew when you, when you wake up from a dream, that was a really good, I love how Jenny Han did that.
Titus SmithGUEST
3:34
But type the pain season.
Titus SmithGUEST
3:35
One, within the context, it seemed as if it was now as in the summer, even though we can't take it as meaning before now that season three, episode one came out.
SarahHOST

here
AllieHOST

releasing on Spotify official audio books about Trevor Zegers entitled The Summer I Turned Gritty, which is a reference, of course, to Jenny Han's The Summer I Turned Pretty.
ShannonHOST
50:06
It's not even a reference to Gritty from the Philadelphia Flyers.
ShannonHOST
50:10
Oh, it
speaker_1HOST
12:48
Let's look at numbers six and five on our list.
speaker_1HOST
12:51
Number six is To All the Boys I've Loved Before, based on the Jenny Han novel, where a teenager's secret love letters are accidentally mailed out.
speaker_2HOST
12:59
Such a great premise.
speaker_1HOST
13:01
To cover her tracks, she enters into a mutually beneficial fake dating scheme with one of the recipients, and naturally, the fake relationship starts to feel very real.
speaker_1HOST
22:03
Absolutely.
speaker_0HOST
22:05
But creator Jenny Han made a highly unconventional structural choice regarding the ending of this story.
speaker_1HOST
22:10
The narrative strategy here is fascinating.
speaker_0HOST
22:12
It really is.
Vicky VisaliaHOST
20:43
it is a really good scene, and I think that you needed it to soften Laurel.
Vicky VisaliaHOST
20:47
The key Jenny Han genius around it, though, is the way that Laurel is very...
Vicky VisaliaHOST
20:55
She's got this, like, hard exterior, but John can kinda break that down, and when she is talking to John in this moment, she is being very vulnerable and she's saying what she actually thinks and it's coming across.
Vicky VisaliaHOST
21:14
She said the same thing to Belly, but she yelled it at her, which is kind of like a mom thing, so it's like, kinda like two adults talking.
Vicky VisaliaHOST
22:00
At this point.
CaseyHOST
22:01
Mm-hmm.
CaseyHOST
22:02
All right, Jenny Han genius.
Vicky VisaliaHOST
22:05
You go first.
Katherine McKenzieHOST
1:06
Yeah.
Katherine McKenzieHOST
1:06
A update from last episode, uh, Jenny Han put something in her stories which was a memory back to, like, a compilation that people had done on August 20th last year, which is the love confession on the beach day, and without comment posted this mashup and I think the heading on the mashup was, like, when the world collectively lost its minds.
Katherine McKenzieHOST
1:29
So J- Jenny, what are you trying to tell us? Is the movie coming August 20th next year? What, what are you trying to tell us, Jenny? Right?
Titus SmithGUEST
1:36
Interesting.

8 MINS LATER

Titus SmithGUEST
9:16
Like, I used to say, "We're Team Conrad," at the end of every video.
Titus SmithGUEST
9:20
And it was just funny.
Titus SmithGUEST
9:21
It's r- what's funny is that shortly after I started posting, Jenny Han had commented on my videos.
Katherine McKenzieHOST
9:26
Oh, wow.
BrandiHOST
13:36
However, the blame does not lie with the show itself.
BrandiHOST
13:42
We are here to tell you today that the blame lies with Jenny Han.
KendraHOST
13:47
[laughs]
BrandiHOST
13:48
This is not the fault of the show.
KaylaHOST
14:47
Sure.
KaylaHOST
14:48
[laughs] Yeah.
KendraHOST
14:51
While I do agree that Jenny Han has done this show a great disservice, as she has done Amazon Prime a great disservice, she's a blessing and a curse wrapped in one woman, um, how can you say that Season 2 will have so much potential if they changed so much of the book to leave us with nothing for Season 2? We've already sped run through the entire book.
BrandiHOST
15:12
Great question.
Colin DohertyHOST
45:39
I do wish that, like, on, on top of this, I want them to also experiment with the very high quality sitcom-esque AI that is being pushed out, and I think, I think they could do a really good job with that.
Chris HallHOST
45:54
I, this felt like, to me, it felt very Jenny Han-esque, for those who don't know.
Colin DohertyHOST
46:00
Who's that?
Chris HallHOST
46:00
If, if you know, you know, okay? Summer I Turned Pretty? Okay.
Colin DohertyHOST
46:04
Oh my gosh.
Chris HallHOST
46:04
It's a great series, okay? It's like Super Bowl, okay? It's like Super Bowl for women everywhere across North America and more.
Chris HallHOST
46:12
Um, very Jenny Han-esque, very, um, uh, To All the Boys That I've Loved Before.
Chris HallHOST
46:17
You know, the three, uh, Netflix series on...
