Wilma Flintstone

Hi, this is Joe Bruno from Milton, Ontario.

Fun fact! Fred and Wilma Flintstone were the first animated married couple to share a bed together on television.

And I really liked Greta Gerwig's look in this scene, because he has kind of the white framed Kurt Cobain glasses.

And she otherwise is kind of dressed like Wilma from the Flintstones a little bit.

Yeah, she's got the

big white necklace and big white earrings.

So Matt goes and does what any man would and goes to his bedroom to jack off.

Yeah.

Because why not? He just saw a lady wearing a Wilma Flintstone necklace.

He can't help himself.

so he just it's it's ridiculous and viviana's clearly angry about this and she's like where did you learn this like who taught you that this is what it's supposed to be and he's just like look it's just in me and like you know i want to know why i'm even in this marriage if she's over cooking and cleaning all the time and like she he is so hung up on her wanting to clean half of the floor that it makes him wonder if they're mentally on the same level Like his definition of a wife is incredibly rigid.

It is just you need to be, you know, Wilma Flintstone.

That is all that I want.

You're in the house cooking and cleaning all the time, raising the kids.

Yes, she was giving very much of Flintstones.

Betty Rubble and Wilma from the Flintstones.

I said, girl, what is this? She was hunched over.

Go back and rewatch the opening scene.

She thought she sauntered, honey.

Not a Flintstone, honey.

Come on, Wilma.

Giving us Gina.

Now, a fictional character, uh, couple.

How about Fred Flintstone and Wilma Flintstone? [laughs]

Oh, Fred and Wilma.

Fred and Wilma.

Uh, you, how much do you know about The Flintstones, uh, do you, can you-

I got Fred, I got, uh, W- Wilma.

Yeah.

Keep going.

yes.I also can't be...

What's...

I can't be a Wilma guy, 'cause redheads don't go after, like...

I don't go after other redheads.

It's a nice welcome touchstone to the original series, and in fact, much appreciated here.

We have Elizabeth Perkins as Wilma.

She brings such a nice sense of groundedness to the role amidst all the silliness.

Uh, one of the great things about home media, uh, especially in the HD and UHD days, is the ability to really pause and look at the little details put into this film.

It is interesting to see some of the possible alternate casting that was reported on in the months leading up to production.

Uh, Danny DeVito was said to have been offered both Fred and Barney at various points.

Uh, Wilma had some very interesting competition in the form of Geena Davis, uh, Catherine O'Hara, and Murphy Brown's Faith Ford.

And as for Betty, uh, Janine Turner of Northern Exposure fame was in the running, as was, uh, comedian Tracey Ullman.

We rode and rode, and I'm ready to keep on riding.

Who's the first cartoon character you wanted to fuck? For me, it was Wilma Flintstone.

I know, I know she's married.

Well, Fred's a fucking cartoon.

Fuck Fred.

Me and Wilma, we got a thing going on.

And it was Wilma Flintstone.

who taught me the difference between good and amazing.

it

was Wilma Flintstone.

Now, Flintstones came out at what...

he fucking just he can't stop but just the fact that like
