00:00lots to discuss um where would you like to start welcome to ms mojo and today we're looking at the
00:08most iconic callbacks from the devil wears prada 2 there will be spoilers wait wait that's not what
00:16you're wearing to the dinner that's all number 10 the opening credits once again we commence with
00:25andy waking up to another day in new york i'm feeling fat i'm feeling free i feel exceptional
00:31while this opening echoes its predecessor andy's sense of style has radically changed since we
00:37first saw her andy's confidence shines through in her wardrobe and hairdo making these two intros
00:42feel like before and after photos hello well look what tj max dragged in the opening works in a few
00:50other nods to the original film walking down the streets andy passes by a banner reading spring
00:55florals alluding to miranda's groundbreaking line florals for spring groundbreaking andy also spots
01:04a vendor showing a potential patron two blue belts the old andy wouldn't have given such a choice
01:09much thought after miranda's cerulean speech though andy knows all too well that there are various hues
01:15of blue and she can tell the difference now that blue represents millions of dollars and countless
01:20jobs and it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion
01:26industry when in fact you're wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room
01:33from a pile of stuff number nine meeting in miranda's office hired as runway's features editor
01:40andy finds herself back in miranda's office he thought someone with my expertise would be a good
01:46idea and but i thought that for sure you had approved and we're excited and that's why i came in
01:52here
01:52all like oh andy isn't the same unkempt underdog who first interviewed to be miranda's assistant 20
01:58years ago within the first few minutes of returning to runway though andy starts to feel like her old
02:03self nigel playfully refers to her as six even though she dropped to a size four wake up six
02:09she's just doing her job miranda meanwhile doesn't remember andy at least she acts like she doesn't
02:16nigel tries to jog miranda's memory saying that andy was one of the emily's sorry who is this do you
02:23know her do i know her i'm andy sachs andrea she was one of the emily's one of the what
02:30this only
02:31confuses miranda further especially since the actual emily doesn't work at runway anymore miranda also
02:37still drinks starbucks although we can only assume it's a no foam skim latte with an extra shot
02:42i want one no foam skim latte with an extra shot and three drip coffees with room for milk searing
02:49hot
02:49and i mean hot number eight sleeping with a colleague when we last saw andy's friend lily
02:55she came off as pretty judgmental shunning her over a peck on the cheek from christian when she was
03:00dating nate of course we all know that nate was the worst and lily totally overreacted for the last
03:0616 years i've known everything about that andy but this person this glamazon who skulks around in
03:12corners with some random hot fashion guy i don't get her despite this andy and lily have reconciled
03:19in the sequel though nate is thankfully nowhere to be found christian doesn't make an appearance either
03:24but his fling with andy is touched upon what do you do do you just write stuff like that down
03:30and
03:30then file it away to using us girls i'm christian thompson that's my way as andy discusses her
03:37journalistic integrity she notes that she has never slept with a colleague lily points out that's not
03:43entirely true as andy did have a one-night stand with christian in paris andy ended it the next morning
03:49realizing that christian wasn't as charming as he seemed i was gonna tell miranda after the party for
03:54james and she has no idea she's a big girl she'll be fine
04:03shh i have to go number seven andy and nigel's dynamic corn chowder that's an interesting choice
04:11you do know that cellulite is one of the main ingredients in corn chowder corn chowder doesn't
04:16appear to be on the menu but andy again grabs lunch at the runway cafeteria andy still eats
04:21carbs having a wrap with her soup as andy sits down with nigel it feels like little time has passed
04:27while nigel is as catty as ever he remains a friend and mentor to andy he knows when to give
04:33andy tough
04:34love reminding her that nobody is going to give her a pat on the head when she does right or
04:38a
04:39lollipop when she's feeling down and you want to know why she doesn't kiss you on the forehead
04:44and give you a gold star on your homework at the end of the day
04:50wake up sweetheart at the same time nigel provides more than constructive criticism andy doesn't need
04:56a makeover as desperately as she did in the first film nigel is nonetheless there for fashion advice
05:02when andy needs it love those and you definitely need an embroidered two-piece totem set but not the
05:10terracotta because you're so pale number six coat on desk miranda priestly has not gone soft but in an
05:18age where more famous people are being called out for their behavior she's been forced to make some
05:23adjustments you are here to help us through our current scandal click click click click every
05:28whack but i did not hire you and all i need to do is fight my time until you fail
05:33andy's taken aback
05:35to see miranda hanging her own coat in her office she distinctly remembers miranda throwing her coats
05:40and purses on her desk every day while assigning tasks while andy reluctantly accepted this as the
05:46status quo at runway at least one of her successors would file an hr complaint
05:50the store of man there's a reservation for dinner tonight at that place
06:02thus miranda must check her own coat now it may seem like a trivial inconvenience
06:08but it reflects how the workplace has changed in the past two decades
06:12even requiring miranda to think twice about how she treats subordinates
06:16starving goats in the parking lot of a methadone clinic in new jersey
06:22well what am i not allowed to say methadone new jersey number five giving clothes to emily
06:29feeling bad about taking her spot at paris fashion week andy asks emily to take all of
06:34the clothes she received off her hands thing is i have all these clothes from paris and i don't have
06:40any place to wear them so i was wondering if you could take them off my hands having left runway
06:46to pursue her journalism career andy figured she wouldn't have many opportunities to wear them
06:51anyway now back at runway andy relays the story to miranda's new first assistant amari or a bunch of
06:57pieces from the chanel collection that year you still have all of it no i gave it away what would
07:04have
07:04been a bit much for a newsroom as generous as andy's actions were all amari hears is that she
07:10gave away chanel who gives away chanel while andy is more fashionable than before she doesn't live and
07:16breathe this stuff like the other runway employees as such amari doesn't feel too bad about showing
07:21andy to a small cramped office emphasizing that she's still very much a fish out of water this is
07:27you oh number four don't go upstairs being miranda's assistant isn't easy but it's still a job that a
07:37million girls and guys would kill for charlie i'm the second assistant hi charlie hey everybody just
07:43calls me charlie with a chair if you want because amari won't let me leave my desk oh no it's
07:47okay
07:47a million girls would kill for this job heard that in addition to amari miranda has a second
07:52assistant named charlie andy can relate to charlie who has to spend most of his time behind a desk
07:58even when he needs to use the bathroom although runway has gone digital miranda hasn't done away
08:03with the book this is the book now it is a mock-up of everything in the current issue and
08:11we deliver
08:12it to miranda's apartment every night and she would touch it andy advises charlie that if he's
08:17ever asked to deliver the book to miranda's home never go upstairs she fell into that trap when
08:22miranda's twins tricked her into walking in on miranda and her soon-to-be ex-husband arguing
08:27andy doesn't share that part with charlie who can't believe anyone would be foolish enough to go
08:32upstairs if the twins said hello so i said hello back and then i went up the stairs to give
08:37her the
08:37book and you went upstairs you went upstairs oh my god why didn't you just climb into bed with her
08:42and
08:42ask for a bedtime story number three carbs when emily found out in the previous film that andy
08:48would be going to paris in her place she did the unthinkable she ate carbs do you know what really
08:54just kills me about this whole thing is the clothes that you're gonna get i mean you don't deserve them
09:02you eat carbs for christ's sake if andy can have bread and pudding why should emily deprive herself
09:08despite their differences both films see andy and emily part on friendly terms but i suppose i
09:13could help you out i will have roy pick them up this afternoon thanks em i appreciate it
09:20good luck and the devil wears prada 2 they meet for lunch where emily allows herself to partake in
09:26some french fries emily argues that she's splitting the fries with andy and shared carbs don't count
09:31we're not sure that's how it works but whatever enables emily to treat herself you know what's
09:37funny is you've changed you have you're much more confident kept those eyebrows though didn't you
09:43the fact that emily and andy are technically eating french cuisine could also be a reference to paris
09:47which seems to be water under the bridge you have some very large shoes to fill
09:53i hope you know that number two that's all if there's one miranda priestly line we constantly
10:00quote it's that's all in the original film her catchphrase is repeatedly used to comedic effect
10:06and i and i was sort of pre-interviewing her for you but she's hopeless and totally wrong clearly
10:12i'm going to have to do that myself because the last two you sent me were completely inadequate so
10:16sent her in that's all the sequel uses the line sparingly reserving it for a crucial scene where
10:23miranda finds out that emily's wealthy boyfriend is buying runway when he does emily will be put in
10:29charge much to andy's surprise are you serious wow wonders never cease although it seems
10:36emily has bested everyone miranda knows that she's setting herself up for failure miranda
10:41delivers a monologue detailing why emily didn't climb the ladder at runway and why she's ill-equipped
10:47to run it now by the time miranda is done emily is without words miranda has two more however
10:53that's all those words have never stung more may the bridges i burn light my way number one miranda
11:02making it up to nigel although it appeared nigel would get to pursue a new role as
11:06james holt's creative director miranda instead gave the job to jacqueline as part of a ploy to
11:11keep her own position and it's my great happiness today to announce to you all that that person
11:19is my friend and long time esteemed colleague jacqueline follet
11:29taking the blow in stride nigel told andy that miranda would make it up to him but even he didn't
11:35seem to
11:35believe that deep down when the time is right she'll pay me back
11:42you sure about that no
11:47but i hope for the best miranda finally does right by nigel in milan having to suddenly depart andy
11:54suggests that nigel fill in for miranda at an event miranda assumes that nigel doesn't want the spotlight
12:00taking a second to reflect though miranda sees that nigel has been patient working as her right hand
12:06while never asking for what he really wants after years of faithful service miranda gives nigel his
12:12moment nigel you're hanging in there by your fingernails do you remember when magazines were
12:16a thing all right come on in everybody take a seat lots to discuss
12:22mm-hmm are there any callbacks we missed let us know in the comments
