WEBVTT - Ice Princess 0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:17.400 Sabrina. Yes, I have a cold. 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:21.279 I know, I can hear it. I know, and I'm 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:22.040 still sick. 0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:24.680 You have a cold too, right, Producer Jensen has a 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:29.000 cold as well. We're all we're all sick. We're all sick, 0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:32.480 but you know we're not sick and tired of dcoms. 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:35.559 See that transition. You see the transition I just did there. 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:38.519 This one's a good one. This is a good one. 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:43.080 Well, it's also speaking of the cold, yes, right, but 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:43.720 having a. 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.960 Cold being cold? We are, we are going to. 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:49.840 Be cold all week long. I guess my brain's not working, 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:52.240 so halfway through the things I'm saying, I'm going to 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.280 make you understand that they don't actually make any sense, 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:56.120 but it is what it is because you've got the 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:57.160 cold brain fog. 0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.160 But let me start by saying, welcome back. 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:00.840 To magical rewind this that makes you want to grab 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:03.040 your friends, your pjs and your popcorn and go back 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:04.920 to a time when all the houses are smart, the 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:07.319 waves tsunamis, and none of us had colds. 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:09.600 I'm Wilferdell and Brian. 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:12.600 Yes, it was a good transition from the cold to 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:14.920 the cold, because today we're gonna lace up our skates 0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:17.000 and say goodbye to Harvard. It's time to take on 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:21.039 an elite dcom one on definitely a higher tier of production. 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:23.920 It's two thousand and five sports drama, and you know 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:27.800 I love a sports drama. Ice Princess. Yes. Now, though 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:30.600 we haven't yet recapped Ice Princess, it did come up 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.240 on our Go Figure episode, which is another Disney movie 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.160 about a girl who has to make a vital, life 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:39.160 changing decision about ice skating. But that's pretty much where 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.080 all the comparisons stop. 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.280 Yeah. Man, One of the biggest. 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:48.200 Differences is that Ice Princess actually ran in theaters, which 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:49.880 I did not know before doing. 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:51.360 This, and as I was watching it, I was like, 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.120 this could have been in the movie theater, Like, how 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:55.360 is this not in the movie theater. 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.040 Turns out, well, it was in the movie theater the 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:01.640 entire time before making a big debut on the channel, 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:06.280 which explains it's large twenty five million dollar budget, which 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.640 I guess it's technically still a dcom, but wow, what 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:10.799 a budget for a decom. 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:11.600 Two thousand and five. 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.200 That is giant, right in twenty twenty five money, that's 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.840 forty seven billion dollars. The movie is based on a 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:22.480 story from Why a book series author Meg Cabot, who 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.799 of course gave us the Princess Diaries books. 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:26.800 Yes, that Princess Diaries. 0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.239 Disney turned those books into two different movies starring Anne 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:31.200 Hathaway and Julie. 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:33.240 Andrews, with a third always rumored to be in production. 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.000 I've heard like in the last couple of months there's 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:35.880 a third one in production. 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.240 You never know, but this was just based on. 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.520 A pitch from Cabot. Apparently, this entire movie. It was 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:46.120 released on my mom's birthday on March eighteenth, two thousand 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.160 and five. What my mom's birthday every March eighteenth, But 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.040 this was March eighteen, two thousand and five, and just 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.520 about broke even at the box office. So not a 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.640 success at all. But it is always fun to look 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:57.360 at the movies it was up against the weekend it 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.240 was released, So here we go. It came in fourth place, 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:04.200 behind The Ring two, Robots, and The Pacifier. 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:06.280 Have you seen any of those? 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:11.000 I've seen the Ring two, and I didn't see Robots, 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:12.760 but I remember Robots. 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.280 Robots is animated, right, I think Robots is animated. Yeah, 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.320 I'm pretty sure it's I think it's like Pixar esque. 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:19.680 If it's not Pixar, I'm pretty sure. 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.840 Okay, yes, so I was thinking a different one. 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:24.799 I have not seen any of those. The Ring one. 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.080 When she climbed out of the thing all backwards and 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:28.480 crab walked, I was like, yeah, I'm done. 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.120 I don't need this anymore. This was it. 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.160 I remember, I told you I had like a whole 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.280 like scary movie phase where I was watching all the 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:36.200 Saws like all that. 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:37.920 So this was That's when I saw The Ring two. 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:38.320 For sure. 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.440 It was right in that time that I. 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.040 Loved scary movies and probably couldn't even get half way 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:43.560 through one. 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:44.920 Now, oh yeah, that sounds awful. 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.000 I can't. Oh man, anything that messes my eating or sleeping, 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.640 I'm not for at all. Yeah, but Ice Princess has 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.640 definitely lived on. I'd argue it's age better than the 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.920 three films it lost to you that weekend. I personally 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:58.720 believe that. And one of the reasons this movie has 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:03.520 built a legacy is the unbelievably stacked cast, which we 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:04.200 will get into. 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.560 But as far as name recognition. 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.320 We have never seen anything like this before in dcom 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.360 we really haven't. There should be no surprise to anybody 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:13.480 listening to our show that this one was filmed in 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.600 wait for it people. I'm not even I'm not even 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.400 gonna say it, because you've everybody now listening just yelled 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:20.800 at their radio Toronto. 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:26.640 Yes, of course, the Big Ti, the Big Ta. Yes, exactly, 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.280 it was in the Big Ta. I like that they 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.159 needed cold. They got cold in one of the dcom capitals. 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.680 It was shot over almost three months, which also shows. 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.760 You that it's different than a regular dcom because normally 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:39.279 it's like you got three weeks to a month ago, 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:41.640 with locations like the. 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:45.039 George Bell Arena and De La Salle College. I don't 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:46.320 know that one. Now. 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.640 Critics were certainly mixed on this one, seen in the 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.080 modern day Rotten Tomato score of fifty two percent, but 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:53.960 world renowned film critic at the time Roger Ebert did 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.840 give it three out of four stars. Love Roger Ebert, 0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:00.640 he believed it successfully overcame expected cliches and bucked the 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:04.479 Disney formula. I don't disagree with that. Other critics, like 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.080 Todd Gilchrist of IGN, weren't nearly as kind. Though he 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.440 praised the adult performances, he had some questions about the 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:13.320 plot and the improbabilities of her athletic progress. I don't 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.479 necessarily disagree with that at all, but you know what 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.240 they say about opinions, they're like dcom dads. They can 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:21.799 kind of bele And it has an absolutely killer soundtrack, 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:23.800 released the same week the movie came out. It weaved 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.159 in and out of modern pop songs and the Hollywood 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:30.000 Records roster. It got songs from Jesse McCartney, Raven Simone, 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:34.160 Natasha Bettingfield, Michelle branch Ali, and aj And two names 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.960 that caught my attention. First was Emma Roberts. Did we 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:39.240 know she was a singer when she was younger? 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.240 Did you know she was me Emma Roberts? 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.159 Yeah? I think it is the Emma Roberts. 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.160 Yeah. She was a Nickelodeon star apparently as a young kid. 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:50.039 Thank you, producer, Lisa. And second was Hayden Pennatieri, another 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:52.480 actress who I had no idea was also a singer, but. 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:56.159 She was in a giant show called Nashville where she's saying. 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:56.160 Like. 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.040 You think I'm gonna know that, I'm gonna know that. 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:03.520 You know, I kept trying to find I found myself 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.039 trying to find I'm like I know. I know she's 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.560 gonna have a song in this in this soundtrack, and 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.200 I kept trying to find which one was her. 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.359 I didn't know because I don't really know her voice 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:14.760 that well. 0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.520 So Nashville is a musical show, yes, ah, gotcha. I 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.880 didn't know if it was like Yellowstone just about farming 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:21.799 like the. 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:26.800 You know Taylor Swift, Carrie underwa oh okay like that 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:28.360 that's her character in Gotcha. 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.359 So yeah, So not only was she in this movie, 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.640 but she sings the final credits. I apparently the song 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:36.599 is called I Fly and everybody knew she was a singer, 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.920 but me, I guess because I had no idea. There 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:42.320 are also songs from Avril Lavigne, Pink, Britney Spears, Jewel, 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.400 and Madonna appearing in this movie, but not on the 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:48.280 soundtrack because that would have been very expensive, so they 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.080 didn't do that. But speaking of expensive, we also have 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.800 two what if castings, as two big stars were reportedly 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.760 considered for some Ice Princess rolls but did not end 0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:00.599 up at the part. Number one was Rachel mc adams 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:02.920 was a favorite for the lead who that would have 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:06.080 been interesting casting, And number two was Nicole Kidman was 0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.240 the first choice for Tina. 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:09.440 What do you think of that? 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.200 What would what do you think of this movie if 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.680 it was Rachel McAdams and Nicole Kidman. 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:18.440 I mean, they're both amazing actors, but I feel like 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:22.800 our present actors killed it. So I definitely don't think 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:25.000 it just really lost anything. 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:25.520 In any sense. 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.000 And I don't disagree all they. 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.000 Seemed perfectly cast for these roles. 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:32.320 Yep, now you've seen this one before, right, I don't. 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:33.880 I can never tell you. Yeah, I figured I figured 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.680 you knew this one, so you you knew of Ice 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.520 Princess and had seen Ice Princess before Magical rewind. 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:41.480 Yes, but I did not see it in the theater. 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:43.720 I saw it. I did see it on the channel. 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:45.760 That makes sense. 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:49.480 I uh no, I think I think maybe i'd heard 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.560 of it because this was like, if memory serves, this 0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:53.600 was two thousand and five. 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:57.720 So the nineties went big with skating for a while. 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.640 With my remember like Cutting Edge, and then I think 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:02.680 Christy Carlson, friend of the Pod and friend of mine, 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:03.520 did Cutting Edge too. 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:04.880 This time it's personal. 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:09.000 Mighty ducks, mighty h double hockey sticks. I mean there 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.240 was there was Skating was big at the time. And 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:13.160 then they kind of broke away. So I think I 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.200 remember Ice Princess. I think I remember at least hearing. 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:17.800 That kind of it kind of had a little bit 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.200 of a comeback for a second. 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:21.280 I think so too. 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.600 I think it comes with probably I would assume it 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:28.000 kind of comes with the fact that, like the Olympics 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.360 kind of to me, it's like the Olympics are like, oh. 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.640 My god, I forgot, Yes, I love ice skating. 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:38.240 Every time the Olympics comes around, it's such as entertaining 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:39.640 sport it is. 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:41.920 And in the nineties you had all the time you 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:45.040 HEARDing Nancy Kerrigan stuff, so that really brought skating to 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.960 the forefront again. There was a lot of kind of 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.000 going ons about skating as it were. Okay, so we're 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:52.840 over a year into this podcast. Can you believe it? 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:53.959 We're over a year into this. 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.280 Podcast already, and I think we could say without a doubt, 0:08:56.320 --> 0:09:00.400 Decoms loved sports. Did you remember how much comes and 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.079 sports were connected before we really started this journey. 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.480 Yes, because that was part of one of my favorite things. 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.960 Like when I told you my first like you know, 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.559 when we first met, my top ones were Johnny Tsunami, 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:14.080 Brin like I loved the You know, when I think 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:17.200 about my favorite Disney movies, Mighty Ducks, that whole franchise 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:20.840 was something I watched on a just loop. I love 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:25.040 them so yeah. I remember the Titans one of my 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:29.640 all time favorite. I love movies with sports, the lessons, 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.679 the coach, the you know, the mentorship that's not from 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:33.760 your parents all the time. 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:36.600 Like, all of those stories are just bangers for me. 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.960 I I agree. Have you seen Hoosiers? Go see Hooters. 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:42.680 If you haven't seen great movie, goe what sport is about? 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:46.800 Basketball? High school basketball in Indiana in like the sixties 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:48.960 or no, might even be earlier in the fifties. It's 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.480 so good, Gene Hackman, It's phenomenal. I think it won 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.560 some Academy Awards. Great movie anyway, everyone goes see whosis. 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.600 All right, here we go. Let's get back to what 0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:59.120 we're doing, and we're going to run the triple lots 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:00.200 through a computer program. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.000 I'm here because it's time for the synopsis. 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:06.200 A high school physics whiz Casey Carlyle again nothing wrong 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.720 with a good alliteration, defies her mother's academic expectations to 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:13.800 pursue her own dream of becoming a competitive figure skater, Sabrina. 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.800 Before we get too deep into the analysis, early thoughts 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:18.400 on Ice Princess, What did you think? 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.240 Honestly, I was in as soon as it came on, because, 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:23.640 you know, for some reason, even though I love some 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.920 of these movies, I don't always one hundred percent remember 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:30.880 where they're, where they're going, what you know. It's like 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:35.000 I just remember them because I was younger, And as 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:36.760 soon as this came on, I was like, oh my, 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.960 I just remember everyone that kept popping up on the screen. 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.320 I was just like, oh my god, I guess yes, 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:42.880 I love her. 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:44.760 Oh she was great. Okay, this is going to be great. 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:48.600 I just kept getting better as the minutes kept rolling me. 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.079 It just kept getting better. I didn't want it to end. 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:51.680 It was good. 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:52.240 Nice. 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:55.440 Did you I agree with you? 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:56.120 One hundred percent? 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.480 I was, yes, absolutely, to the point where about twenty 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.840 minutes in, I texted producer Jensen, I'm like, I am 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.160 one hundred percent in non Ice Princess. I loved this. 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:08.760 This is also a lot more grill driven, right, not 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.400 that you're against it, but you're always not into the 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.400 like the message or you know, because it's kind of 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:17.800 a little bit it's definitely more. I mean, it is universal, 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.880 but for me, I think just the fact that it's 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:22.360 in a world where, I mean. 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.120 There were no except for one little boy. There were 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:28.679 no boy skaters, which kind of bothered me a tiny bit. 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:29.280 But I get it. 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:33.880 Because they're in different divisions, right or caliber. I don't 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:36.120 know caliberies, but they're in something. I don't know that 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.360 the lingo too much, but it did. It was a 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:41.640 little more girl heavy this movie was. 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:42.959 I didn't care. 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:43.640 I loved it. 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:44.520 I loved everything about it. 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.840 I loved I loved the fact that they threw math in. 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.800 That was part of it. A lot of it didn't 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:51.400 make any sense. 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.200 I kind of agree with that one critic who's like, 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.040 you know, okay, so she's skating for three weeks and 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:56.480 all of a sudden she's Olympic caliber. 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:57.800 None of that makes any sense. 0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:00.800 I get it. These you know again, have the figure skater. 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.959 They start when they're like two. Yes, So I mean 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:07.200 I understand that that's you've really got to You got 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:11.640 to postpone any sort of reality to get how good 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:15.240 she's gotten, how quickly that being said, The cast, the story, 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:20.040 the acting, it was, I was in I was one This. 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.959 Is definitely one of our top three most beautiful casts 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:23.360 as well. 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:24.079 I gotta do. 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:27.319 And I know we haven't gotten to exactly who's in 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:30.840 it yet, but it is like every single person on this. 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:35.520 Absolutely uh. 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:37.600 The movie was directed by Tim Fiwell. 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:39.840 Most of his work was in British TV, where he's 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:43.160 from britain Land, but best known for a show called 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.720 Happy Valley which You Want a Bath to for and 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:48.520 the movie I Capture the Castle starring Rose Byrne and 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:49.240 Bill Nine. 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:50.559 Unlike most of the. 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:53.560 Traditional decom directors we see where the names are mostly 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.079 repeated week after week, this because it went to theaters, 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:58.720 had a different approach and a much more cinematic director, 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:00.720 and I think he did just a nominal job. The 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:04.040 movie was beautiful and that Cas Sabrina was talking about, 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:05.760 let's get to it. So we did want to start 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:07.839 by saying we decided to do Ice Princess this week 0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.040 as a tribute to the movie star Michelle Trachtenberg. 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:11.800 She began acting at. 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.040 Just three years old in commercials, then in her teens 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:16.760 appeared on TV shows like Clarissa Explains at All and 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:18.880 the Adventures of Pete and Pete. But it was her 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:21.000 role as Harriet in the movie Harriet the Spy that 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:23.560 first put her on most of America's radar. Then in 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.560 the two thousands, she played Don Summers, the little sister 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:28.800 on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and appear in movies like 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.360 Inspector Gadget, which was her first film with Disney, euro 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.880 Trip and Seventeen Again. Later she also stole the scenes 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.920 as Georgina Sparks in a story arc on Gossip Girl. 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:41.679 And here Michelle plays Casey Carlyle, the star of our movie. 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.760 But sadly she passed away just a few weeks ago 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.040 at thirty nine years old, a tragic loss for fans 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.719 and friends, with so many beautiful things being written by 0:13:48.720 --> 0:13:51.960 her co stars, including some from this very movie. And 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.840 fun fact, she had never skated before. She trained for 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:59.360 ten months with some twenty to twenty two hours a 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:01.920 day on the ice, all to get ready for this movie, 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.360 where she did a lot of her own skating. Yes, 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:06.040 of course this movie is pville with stunt doubles for 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:07.920 the larger tricks and stuff, but she did a lot 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:09.840 of it, and yeah, it was a big loss for 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.760 the acting world. So we wanted to dedicate this episode 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:15.240 of magical rewind to Michelle. 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:17.000 Hayden Pennetier plays Jen Harwood. 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.720 Pennetier was a busy child actor on shows like One 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.080 Life to Live, Ally McBeal and Malcolm in the Middle, 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.880 but was her starring role as Claire Bennett on the 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:28.240 show Heroes that made her a star Save the Cheerleader, 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:31.680 Save the World. That was later followed by Nashville, which 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.160 was apparently a musical, where she played the lead character 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.600 Juliette Barnes opposite Connie Britton. She also starred in movies 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.200 like Remember the Titans, I Love You, Beth Cooper, and 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:41.080 Scream Four. 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.280 She is a very recognizable actress. 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.920 Trevor Bluomiss is Teddy Hartwood. Trevor, who learned how to 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.400 drive a zamboni for the movie, was a local hire. 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:51.880 He was in some Canadian projects like the TV show 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:55.360 Stranger in Town and the Andy Garcia thriller The Unsaid. 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:59.520 He also was in a reggae band called Stalefish not 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:04.280 spelled that way but stay l e Fish like You Do, 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.440 and an indie rock band called Doom Squad, but his 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.040 last acting credit was in twenty eleven. He's now a 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:13.480 director and creative producer living in Canada, and we have 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.960 two actresses sitting in the Coleman Reynolds chair today. First 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:21.320 up is Joan Cusack, a hilarious character actor as Joan Carlisle. 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:23.400 She might now be best known as the voice of 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.480 Jesse in the Toy Story movies, but is just one 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:26.800 of those people who, when they're. 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:28.800 In the movie, immediately makes it better. 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:33.760 She's awesome. School of Rock Adams, Family Values, Broadcast News 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.720 Gross Point Blank, which was alongside her brother John Cusack, 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.440 and two movies that got her Oscar nominations for Best 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.080 Supporting Actress, Working Girl and In and Out. I mean, 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:46.040 just one banger after another. She's awesome. You might also 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.120 know her from the TV show Shameless, which got her 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:52.440 five Emmy nominations and one win. She is a legend. Seriously, 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:54.800 she's so awesome that I have no problem if you 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:56.800 pause this show right now to go learn more about 0:15:56.880 --> 0:15:59.000 Joan Cusack. It is well worth it. 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:02.040 Let me tell you, anytime I see her, I am 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.960 one hundred percent in. I do not think I've seen 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.280 one movie that she's in that I don't. 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:08.560 Not just like. 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.240 I love she is one of the best. I mean, 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:13.800 she's just unreal. 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.600 Yep, she really is. And she's one of those oh 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:19.120 she's in this movie, Thank God actresses who maybe doesn't 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.920 get the credit she deserves, but man, she is aweso 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.760 so good. And then there is Kim Catral as Jen's mom. 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:29.000 Tina Harwood, another very famous actor who has lived many, 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.640 many lives. Her career dating back to the late seventies 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:34.160 had her on TV shows like Logan's Run, Colombo, and 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:38.400 Charlie's Angels Boom, Boom and Boom, but then she transitioned 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:42.000 into a go to female lead for Screwball's eighties comedies 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:46.120 like Porky's Police Academy, Big Trouble, Little China, which is 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:49.560 one of my favorite movies of all time, and Mannequin. 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.400 Which we've talked about several times in this podcast. 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:54.120 Where she played the mannequin. And even though she hasn't 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.800 gone even a few months without a job for decades, 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.320 it wasn't until nineteen ninety eight that she became a 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:02.440 household name as Samantha Jones on the HBO series Sex 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:04.439 and the City, which I call the show I never 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:07.119 want to watch with my mother. This one job became 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:10.080 arguably one of the most iconic TV Characters of all Time, 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:13.960 earning her five Emmy nominations. Were you a Sex and 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:14.480 the City fan? 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:15.320 Yes? 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.359 Are you a Samantha, Charlotte or Carrie? 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:17.960 What were you? 0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:18.920 Who would you think? 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.520 I'm gonna I don't, Okay, I'm gonna be honest with you. 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:24.800 I've seen one or two episodes, so I don't know 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:28.400 the characters very well. I know that Kim Katroll is 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.760 kind of the more promiscuous one. 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:36.520 Carrie is the She's the Samantha is the main. 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.360 One, right, No, Carrie is the main one. 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:43.120 Then I would say, you'd be like Carrie, Oh, now 0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:43.560 who are you? 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:45.159
