Dan McNairHOST
I do wanna issue a correction.
Dan McNairHOST
Jason Ritter is not Melanie Lynskey's husband.
Dan McNairHOST
He's Krysten Ritter's brother.
Dan McNairHOST
You're, you were right, but just how I identify is, like I'm-
Craig LakeHOST
Oh, okay
Dan McNairHOST
... a much bigger fan of Krysten Ritter.
Dan McNairHOST
Like, the Melanie Lynskey of it all, you know, is, is very small in my...
Dan McNairHOST
Even though we cover Yellowjackets, follow us for Season 4.

I know, but if you think about all the other movies we saw, I really enjoyed them more.

And like even, even the Netflix Don't Say Good Luck with Melanie Lynskey and Adam Sandler's daughter, it just was like so emotional.
speaker_19PANELIST
That one just like got me.

I will say there were a couple graphic injury scenes in Rivals-
Sarah FainHOST
It does.
Sarah FainHOST
And if I remember correctly, the one with Jessica Biel was kind of a two-hander with Melanie Lynskey.
Liz CraftHOST
Yes.
Sarah FainHOST
And the Love and Death one with Elizabeth Olsen, was that a two-hander, or was that more focused on her?

in a global view, and then we come down, and we literally move through all the cars meeting Emma Stone and Dyl-Dylan Baker and Melanie Lynskey, and eventually we find you in, you know, in a pickup truck.
Loni PeristereGUEST
And like, but the camera never cuts.
Loni PeristereGUEST
We just kind of move seamlessly in and out of cars.
Matthew NemethHOST
No Teen Jackie in this episode, so no Ella Purnell.
Matthew NemethHOST
Melanie Lynskey as Shana.
Matthew NemethHOST
Yeah, I think I don't know what you would describe, but you know how they say like the wheels have come off.
Matthew NemethHOST
There was something very particular about when the ladies come back to Melissa's house and she's like kind of ready to stab whoever's there.
Matthew NemethHOST
But it was like they all come back in.
Matthew NemethHOST
They're having an argument about everything else and all that.
Matthew NemethHOST
And the way what kind of got me most about that, the way that Shana says and it's played very well by Melanie Lynskey again, is that the very casual nature of how she's like, hey, what are we going to tie Melissa up with? It's like she's standing here with all of you.
Matthew NemethHOST
Like, what are you doing, Shana? What's what's going on in your mind? I mean, granted, for us, it was last week.
Cathy MoriartyGUEST
You know, it's so much harder once they've been through all that liberal arts brainwashing.

And, like, even, even the Netflix Don't Say Good Luck with Melanie Lynskey and Adam Sandler's daughter, it just was, like, so emotional.

The crying was a little fake.

Lindsey WeberHOST
It's, like, a sweet movie about a woman getting cancer and her daughter.
Bobby FingerHOST
Yeah, it's like Melanie Lynskey-
Lindsey WeberHOST
Like, it's, it doesn't-

... dying of cancer and her daughter's dealing with it or something
