My fiancé was watching this movie in his headphones today when I was reading a book nearby and his headphones suddenly switched off and the sound started playing from the TV speaker the second before Paper Bag started, it was such a fun coincidence for me as a Fiona fan 😂

Bridesmaids did it best

I suppose considering the maya rudolph connection lol!

What is the connection is she friends with Fiona?

Maya is married to PTA, who is Fiona's ex.

Yep she dated Paul Thomas Anderson for a few years when she was young. There is a good documentary on YouTube where Quentin tarantino and Fiona interview each other. Quentin says he met Fiona through PTA. I'm not sure why she didn't do any of the soundtrack to Magnolia? Aimee mann who has followed Fiona's career closely did most of that soundtrack.

wow PTA is supposed to be a narcassistic piece of work....

And a shoutout for Fiona singing Sally’s Song in Nightmare Before Christmas

Why isn’t that version on Spotify?! It’s so good!

I thought the same! They have her cover of “Across the Universe” which is a bone chiller as well

Can we please have Mitski and Fiona tour together?

hat would be a killer double headline.

They have so much in common, and the fanbases have got to be quite overlapping as well, I would think.

Plus, I think the best use of a Fiona track in film is definitely Criminal in Hustlers. Not even mentioned here. And it was a female-lead production, so I guess it didn't fit the narrative of this article.

My heart couldn’t take that

I would simply melt into the ground and become part of the water cycle.

have you seen any videos from mitski’s recent tour? her fans are beyond disrespectful and inconsiderate. i adore mitski but if fiona ever toured again i would hate to see her treated the way those people treated mitski.

Fiona does not deserve Mitski's audience

mitski doesn’t deserve mitski audience 😔

u/wasplace avatar

Who DOES! I wouldn't wish that shit on anyone. I'm literally shocked Mitski toured with this album.

u/matiasratner avatar

I don't know much about mitski but how can she possibly be comparable to our beloved Fiona?

I keep hoping for Fiona and Tori to have a Kate Bush Stranger Things moment.

It's gonna happen. I'm manifesting it.

Just watched this and I was going to post about it but you beat me to it! Lol

Was the movie any good?

My wife loved it. I thought it was a little boring.
