It Ends With Us is described as a domestic-violence story that needs a warning before anyone buys a ticket.
1. The Superlatively Yes Podcast episode “You Just Never Know: Pigs, Orcas and Bathroom Stalls” centers on cruise stories, movie reactions, and TV picks. 2. Hosts Tanya and Jaysa lead the discussion, and Jaysa’s cruise experiences drive most of the episode’s specific stories. 3. The episode asks what people should know before watching movies like It Ends With Us and what kinds of travel stories are too strange to make up. 4. Jaysa describes Twisters, says Glenn Powell plays an Arkansas character, and notes that the theater reacted when he said he was from Arkansas. 5. She says the lead actress is Daisy Edgar-Jones, calls Glenn Powell “charming,” and describes the film as a remake with a similar plot line. 6. The episode spends significant time on It Ends With Us, which Jaysa says is based on Colleen Hoover’s 2016 book. 7. Jaysa says Leighton saw It Ends With Us without knowing the premise and felt blindsided by the film’s domestic-violence content. 8. Tanya and Jaysa discuss how the movie’s promotion made it look like a “girl’s movie,” which Jaysa says was misleading. 9. Jaysa says the film kept her in tension for two hours and never gave her enough “release” to breathe. 10. The conversation also touches on Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, TikTok discussion, and how outside drama changed Jaysa’s experience of the movie. 11. Jaysa says The Umbrella Academy on Netflix features Klaus, an actor she finds so good that she stops playing solitaire to watch. 12. She says she looked up the actor afterward and learned that he lives in Ireland and does standup and a podcast. 13. On the flight home, Jaysa watched 1883 with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill and said they did a “phenomenal job.” 14. She also recommends the new Call of the Wild with Harrison Ford and says the dog Buck pulled her in despite some CGI concerns from Cliff. 15. A Celine Dion world-tour documentary leads to comments about 131 shows, her outfits, her security, and Renee being the only person she ever kissed. 16. Jaysa says the episode also included The Golden Bachelorette, Joan, and a prediction she made that ABC had pulled her to cast her as the lead. 17. The tone is conversational and fast-moving, with Tanya and Jaysa interrupting each other, laughing, and jumping from one show to the next. 18. The format is a loose back-and-forth between two hosts who mix personal travel stories with TV and movie recommendations. 19. Listeners who like candid couple banter and cruise anecdotes. 20. Skip if you want tightly structured reviews or serious film analysis.
