Reality Bites (1994) : Are these problems still worth complaining about?

Okay.

What is Reality Bites about, Alice?

All right, Reality Bites is a Gen X coming of age, a bunch of Gen Xs just finished college in America, obviously, and it's reality biting them in the bum.

It's them, yeah, trying to figure out themselves in society.

They're still trying to, you know, they're part of that, you could call them alternative or like part of that music scene from the early 90s where they're like... you know it's all it's against the parents it's like i don't want to be like them i don't want to you know screw um corporate america screw capitalism so it's them having those ideals fighting those ideals whilst trying to have a place in society like they're just trying to figure things out and then there's obviously there's it's a dynamic between a group of you know 423 something i think they're all about 23 for people living in a house and you know romances and AIDS as well.

That makes a comeback.

So yeah, just talking about all those ideals.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I've got a question for you.

And I actually wrote this down when, when the film happened and I, and I told me just, I need to ask, I was this, don't you wish you were a lesbian? I think it would be so much easier.

Yeah, yeah, I do.

I have thought that many times.

I have grown up with lesbian hearts and they always seem to have more interesting lives.

More culture, more things going on, more holidays.

Just letting you know, listeners, I did not randomly just make that question up.

No.

The character of Janine Garofalo, Vicky, she gets actually asked that and I thought it would be good for me to ask her that question.

I think

so.

That's like what all

women want.

I think all women, like I've definitely asked girls that before.

We've never asked that as well.

Just being like, I just, when you're just sick of men.
