Speaker 1: Sabrina.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm not normally a tir person, No really, but
Speaker 2: you're rocking it.
Speaker 3: I gotta be honest, there's some things that are just
Speaker 3: made for people, and I think trs are made for me.
Speaker 2: Now, is this a toy, Tiara or is this a
Speaker 2: tr that's worth several hundred million dollars with the size
Speaker 2: of the Yeah, the pink diamond at the front.
Speaker 3: And to be honest, I'm almost positive this is like
Speaker 3: an exact replica of what is used in this movie,
Speaker 3: like so similar. This is what I was like, Oh,
Speaker 3: I've got that one.
Speaker 2: And that perfectly brings us to today's wonderful film. Well,
Speaker 2: we'll see if it's wonderful actually, But first, welcome back
Speaker 2: to Magical Rewind, the show that makes you want to
Speaker 2: grab your friends, your pjs and your popcorn and go
Speaker 2: back to a time when all the houses are smart,
Speaker 2: the waves tsunamis, and everyone called me Lord William, I'm Wilferdel.
Speaker 3: And I am Lady Sabrina Bryant.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and we're a pretty good dynamic duo. But
Speaker 2: this week we have quite the dynamic duo to review.
Speaker 1: It's a movie with.
Speaker 2: Not one, but two of the channel's biggest and brightest
Speaker 2: modern day stars princesses who have gone on to big.
Speaker 1: And bright adult careers.
Speaker 2: It's two thousand and nine s dcom coming of age
Speaker 2: comedy starring Demi Lovado and Selena Gomez, The Princess Protection Program.
Speaker 2: If you have a problem with popping peas or alliteration,
Speaker 2: turn your channels off right now, because we're going to
Speaker 2: be popping peas all day as we talk once again
Speaker 2: about the Princess Protection Program, say that three times fast, please,
Speaker 2: Princess Protection Program.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: So, the movie debuted on June twenty six, two thousand
Speaker 2: and nine, to a very large audience of eight point
Speaker 2: five million viewers. It nearly doubled the viewership of CBS
Speaker 2: that night and won the overall time slot. That's pretty big,
Speaker 2: and Princess Protection Program or PPP won two thousand and
Speaker 2: nine's Teen Choice Award for Choice Summer Movie and Choice
Speaker 2: Summer TV went to Salina Gomez, who beat out Demi
Speaker 2: Lovado for the same movie. The director also took home
Speaker 2: the DJA Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in a Children's Program.
Speaker 2: So this is a big win all around for the
Speaker 2: Disney brand. Also, I did notice something a little unique
Speaker 2: about this movie. It debuted on the channel June twenty sixth,
Speaker 2: and then was released on DVD four days later. That
Speaker 2: is a crazy turnaround that we haven't seen before. But
Speaker 2: you do, of course see similar plans working out in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six with same day streaming releases, but Princess
Speaker 2: Protection Program was apparently way ahead of its time PPP,
Speaker 2: which is like like I call it, or just peace
Speaker 2: it would be p cubed. P Cubed was filmed in
Speaker 2: Puerto Rico between March and April of two thousand and eight,
Speaker 2: marking the first Disney original movie shot there.
Speaker 1: Sabrina, Have you been to Puerto Rico? Yes?
Speaker 3: And the funny thing is is I feel like it
Speaker 3: was in two thousand and eight. That was the first
Speaker 3: time I went there. We did a Cheetah Girls concert. Cool,
Speaker 3: we took our tour to Puerto Rico and that being
Speaker 3: a big deal for the channel. So I'm going like
Speaker 3: that like struck me. When I saw that it was
Speaker 3: it was filmed there, I was like, Ooh, I wonder
Speaker 3: if there was something bigger that we of course are
Speaker 3: in our own law la Land don't realized that happening
Speaker 3: within the Channel, and then I've been back several times.
Speaker 3: I got when I was doing the Dancing with the
Speaker 3: Stars live on cruises, we were in the Caribbean and
Speaker 3: that was one of the big ports we went to.
Speaker 1: So, I what is Puerto Rico?
Speaker 3: Like I hear, it's beautiful, It's gorgeous, and it's got
Speaker 3: just super unique vibes about it. A lot of the
Speaker 3: school buses are like painted and all cool rigged up
Speaker 3: and stuff like. It's just got a really happy, awesome
Speaker 3: vibe and also a lot of historic, historical things that
Speaker 3: you could just walk around and go see, and you know,
Speaker 3: you can do the island pretty quickly, and it's just
Speaker 3: food's great there everything. I've never had a bad time
Speaker 3: in Puerto Rico.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta go on. It's definitely a bucketless place
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 2: Production utilized, speaking of some of this historic stuff, they
Speaker 2: utilize some of historic buildings like the Collegio s and
Speaker 2: Ignacio de Loyola and a karazzio lake in Tuhula, Alto.
Speaker 1: I think I said all those right.
Speaker 2: This movie also involved on in the channel's most original
Speaker 2: marketing plans. Disney promoted the film's premiere by offering never
Speaker 2: before seen episodes of their original series Wizards of Waverley
Speaker 2: Place and Sonny with a chance as an online reward
Speaker 2: if viewers could correctly count the number of times the
Speaker 2: words princess or princesses were spoken during the film. It's
Speaker 2: like a Disney version of a drinking game.
Speaker 1: It's true.
Speaker 2: They encourage kids not to drink, but to enter the
Speaker 2: correct answer into their website and reap the benefits. And
Speaker 2: you don't just cast Demi and Selena without taking their
Speaker 2: music seriously. And PPP had two original songs. One is
Speaker 2: a duet between the two superstars called One and the Same,
Speaker 2: written by former pop star Vitamin C.
Speaker 1: I just said a whole bunch of words.
Speaker 3: I don't understand that much. Wow.
Speaker 1: I love Vitamin C. I take it every day.
Speaker 3: She's sang a song graduation.
Speaker 1: I believe so Vitamin C is a woman, Okay it is.
Speaker 3: And she had this bright just like radiant red hair, Okay,
Speaker 3: very cool looking.
Speaker 1: Like that's also very very good for health.
Speaker 2: And the other is by Disney dude who we you know.
Speaker 2: I'd love to say friend of the pod, but he's not.
Speaker 2: We like him, but he just doesn't like us. Apparently
Speaker 2: Mitchell Musso called The Girl Can't Help It. Both songs
Speaker 2: made it onto Disney Channel compilation album later, but the
Speaker 2: movie also licensed tracks from Levado, Diana Page, and another
Speaker 2: group KSM, which, believe it or not, I am familiar
Speaker 2: with KSM. That's not even a joke. There was an
Speaker 2: all girl band movie that my friend was going to
Speaker 2: do and we did a table read with KSM. They
Speaker 2: were all very nice, cool. One crazy fact I found online.
Speaker 2: Originally Selena was set to play Rosie, which Demi ended
Speaker 2: up playing, and Demi was set to play Carter, but
Speaker 2: Isn't decided to switch their parts just before filming and
Speaker 2: it worked out in my opinion, and apparently the actresses
Speaker 2: felt the same way. And the lore between these two
Speaker 2: stars goes back really far. I don't claim to be
Speaker 2: any expert, so I'm gonna need some help with the tea.
Speaker 2: But these two were apparently best friends who first met
Speaker 2: on the set of Barney, but then one of them
Speaker 2: started dating the Purple Dinosaur.
Speaker 1: It made the other one really.
Speaker 3: Jealous, very awkward.
Speaker 1: They have since drifted.
Speaker 2: I love you and you both love me, and now
Speaker 2: you're not even friendly.
Speaker 1: Uh sorry, we just made that up, but for some
Speaker 1: reason it worked, thank you.
Speaker 4: Ah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they drifted apart since they've confirmed they are no
Speaker 2: longer friends, well close friends anyway, but quote unquote support
Speaker 2: each other from a distance, which is a nice way
Speaker 2: of saying they hate each other, but they don't want
Speaker 2: anybody on Instagram to know that. Over the years, this
Speaker 2: movie has also supplied the Internet with its fair share
Speaker 2: of memes. One is a slightly demonic laughing shot of Evado.
Speaker 2: Another quotes that I hate you back and forth the
Speaker 2: main characters have. But yes, this movie is now seen
Speaker 2: as beautifully cringey and thus ready for the memes.
Speaker 1: And you can watch all three p's right now, gotcha.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna see saying pee all day. It's so
Speaker 1: strange and I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: But in the future, for producers, if we can avoid
Speaker 2: saying three p's and available to stream right next to
Speaker 2: each other, I would really appreciate that on Disney Plus.
Speaker 1: But of course it is. You can tinkle these two
Speaker 1: girls now, I'm not gonna do it.
Speaker 2: You can see, all right, see these two girlies when
Speaker 2: they were still best these before our recap or after,
Speaker 2: we suggest it's going to be fun calling all of
Speaker 2: your friends over to view it as a group, but
Speaker 2: first draw straws don't explain why or what any of
Speaker 2: the rules are. Then once they've selected announced, it's fine.
Speaker 2: I'll just watch it later and send them all home
Speaker 2: good luck. I think that'll be fun, Sabrina the question
Speaker 2: du jour? Did you know anything about PPP before watching
Speaker 2: it for the podcast?
Speaker 3: Not? Except for I knew that there was a d
Speaker 3: com and this was like the greatest timing because they
Speaker 3: were so close. Both their shows were such big hits.
Speaker 3: Mey's career for singing was really starting to thrive. Like
Speaker 3: I remember the rumbling and how awesome it was, but
Speaker 3: I had never watched I knew it was called Princess something,
Speaker 3: and that was kind of it. But okay, when I
Speaker 3: tell you this was on our list, I was so
Speaker 3: excited to finally actually sit down and watch this movie
Speaker 3: because I love both of them in different ways. I
Speaker 3: think both of them are incredible, and I mean it
Speaker 3: was I was really excited to watch.
Speaker 1: Okay, knock knock, who's there? I'd never heard of this
Speaker 1: movie before.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now, if we could all please rise for the
Speaker 2: pride of Coastalluna. It's the synopsis A princess, whose country
Speaker 2: has been invaded, goes into hiding in Louisiana, where she
Speaker 2: has to learn to act like an ordinary teenager. What
Speaker 2: were your early thoughts on Princess Protection Program?
Speaker 1: Did you like it? Did you not like it? Easy watch?
Speaker 1: What was it for you?
Speaker 3: Yeah? To me, it was an easy watch. There were
Speaker 3: some of this stuff that I was looking at. The
Speaker 3: villains that we find very early on in the movie
Speaker 3: kept drawing my eye every time they were on camera,
Speaker 3: and I had to look it up. I waited till
Speaker 3: the end. I'll show you later. In Sabrinases who, I
Speaker 3: was like wanting both of these gentlemen to be so
Speaker 3: badly And I don't know why, but I just I
Speaker 3: at some point in the movie it just clipped in
Speaker 3: my head like this is them. I knew it wasn't
Speaker 3: the right actor, but like this, this is the actor.
Speaker 3: I don't know why, But as far as the movie goes,
Speaker 3: I thought it was good. I thought it was cute.
Speaker 3: I thought there were great moments from both of these
Speaker 3: main characters, and I mean the star potential on camera
Speaker 3: was just yeah real, yeah, what about you will?
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, let's talk about this right off the bat
Speaker 2: the both of them are great. Yes, and they're great together,
Speaker 2: and they command the screen. I could not imagine them flipped.
Speaker 2: They they're perfect in the roles that they played. At first,
Speaker 2: I didn't understand the tone of the movie, and I
Speaker 2: still think tone is a little bit muddled, Like there's
Speaker 2: part of me. It went from and we'll get into it.
Speaker 2: It went from like kind of Disney princess, which is
Speaker 2: what I thought they were gonna do more, and then
Speaker 2: it kind of went away to more teen drama and
Speaker 2: then with with little sprinkles of teen princess, and I
Speaker 2: found myself instead of saying, man, I wish they leaned
Speaker 2: more into making it real, I almost found myself wishing
Speaker 2: they leaned more into making it more Disney.
Speaker 3: Yes, it actually flipped me into thinking about the descendants
Speaker 3: and how they leaned into the of you know, what
Speaker 3: are our Disney classic cartoon princesses.
Speaker 1: Would yeah, make the villain more absurd?
Speaker 3: Yes, I also felt that way, And I think that's
Speaker 3: why I was thinking about this actor, because the actor,
Speaker 3: had he been cast doing this, those villain parts would
Speaker 3: have been to the ninth.
Speaker 1: There you go. So that's that's what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's like It's like this easily could have been a
Speaker 2: movie where it picture the same exact movie, except you
Speaker 2: get rid of something that really isn't necessary in the movie,
Speaker 2: which is the Princess Protection program.
Speaker 1: Like it, he could have.
Speaker 2: Been a real CIA agent, FBI agent, whatever you want
Speaker 2: him as, and an actual process from an actual place
Speaker 2: had to be put in witness protection program. You didn't
Speaker 2: need to go to an underground bunker where you find
Speaker 2: out other princesses are being in this program.
Speaker 1: Like if you want what I'm.
Speaker 2: Saying is pick one lane, Like if you want to
Speaker 2: go that way, that's great, go to the underground bunker
Speaker 2: and then show you know that Aeriel. You know, there's
Speaker 2: a video of Aerial in the background, and she's in
Speaker 2: protection somewhere, and it becomes very Disney. She's being followed
Speaker 2: by an actual, like Disney type of villain. So pick
Speaker 2: kind of which route you're gonna go. Is it fun
Speaker 2: almost Disney absurdist, or is it there's a real princess
Speaker 2: that's in the witness Protection program that needs to be safe.
Speaker 1: And I felt like they.
Speaker 2: Didn't really pick a lane for which one of those
Speaker 2: things they wanted to do.
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day. None of that
Speaker 1: kind of really mattered, just.
Speaker 2: Because you saw these two young girls, young women, and
Speaker 2: they were great together and they command the screen that
Speaker 2: you knew what was gonna happen. I mean, there was
Speaker 2: nothing where it was like wow, good twist or anything.
Speaker 2: You knew the story going in. But when you've got
Speaker 2: this kind of young star power for young kids watching.
Speaker 3: It was great. What I really loved about this these
Speaker 3: two girls as a duo was they both seemed to
Speaker 3: be very comfortable and love their aspect of what they
Speaker 3: brought to They didn't seem like they were like on
Speaker 3: camera kind of fighting for anything, Like they were really
Speaker 3: happy to be both that same level of like you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, a star in the movie, and
Speaker 3: I like, I loved that it didn't seem like there
Speaker 3: was any kind of like back and forth, any kind
Speaker 3: of caddy stuff. They looked like they were just having
Speaker 3: a great time being able to work together.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: This was directed by Alison Liddy Brown, as I mentioned,
Speaker 2: a DJA Award winner for the movie. She has an
Speaker 2: acclaimed TV career dating back to the late nineties on
Speaker 2: shows like and The Shows Are really Impressive. The Secret
Speaker 2: World of Alex Mack even Stevens cousin Skeeter, which I'd
Speaker 2: never heard before and have now heard over and over
Speaker 2: and over again, and Zena, but has since worked on
Speaker 2: everything else, Tons of Great, Everyone's saying they love everyone's
Speaker 2: talking about cousin Skeeter.
Speaker 1: I'd never heard it, and now it's all own.
Speaker 3: This is the this.
Speaker 1: It's like a puppet or something. It's Marcus Toji talked about.
Speaker 3: It, right, Yes, and I was in the opening credits,
Speaker 3: like as a dancer.
Speaker 2: Yes, Oh god, okay, because we think we talked about
Speaker 2: it on Podmetsworld too, so we've got to see that.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's crazy, Okay.
Speaker 1: So yes.
Speaker 2: She also worked on tons of Gray's Anatomy, Friday Night Lights, Shameless, Parenthood, Chuck.
Speaker 2: The list goes on and on, but only a handful
Speaker 2: of movies in the bunch and this is well one
Speaker 2: of them, and yes, we talked about it. It stars Selena
Speaker 2: Gomez's Carter, like I said. She started her career on
Speaker 2: the set of Barney and Friends and has since become
Speaker 2: one of the industry's biggest names in acting, music, and producing.
Speaker 2: She was a Disney Channel megastar as Alex Russo on
Speaker 2: Wizards of Waverley Place. It seems like she likes alliterative titles.
Speaker 2: You got Princess Protection Program, Wizards of Waverley Place, a
Speaker 2: show that turned into.
Speaker 1: A decom we already reviewed.
Speaker 2: But she also showed up on Hannah Montana Sweet Life
Speaker 2: and assorted Joe Bro's content.
Speaker 1: Did she dated Joe Bro? It seems like she would
Speaker 1: have dated a Joe Bro. I don't Yes, Okay, we
Speaker 1: already got that from Lisa. Yes, that's all we need.
Speaker 3: Yes, I don't know which one, though.
Speaker 1: I don't think it matters. Okay, doesn't really matter. She
Speaker 1: dated a Joe Bro, that's all we need. Yes.
Speaker 2: Her adult erap Nick with two ends. She dated Nick. Yes,
Speaker 2: her adult era would start in Harmony Koreen's I'm saying
Speaker 2: that right. I hope controversial spring Breakers and lead to
Speaker 2: roles in Hotel Transylvania, movies, Amelia Perez, and the hit
Speaker 2: show she currently stars alongside Steve Martin and Martin Short
Speaker 2: Only Murders in the Building.
Speaker 1: And I hate to be the one to say this
Speaker 1: out loud. I've never seen a single episode.
Speaker 2: Everyone loves it and my parents love it, and I
Speaker 2: gotta watch it, and oh believe and apparently she holds
Speaker 2: her own and they love her and that's awesome. And
Speaker 2: in music, she's released three solo number one albums with
Speaker 2: billions of streams, several Guinness records, and two Billboard number
Speaker 2: one songs. And this next that I couldn't believe because
Speaker 2: of all the star parr out there. Apparently she's also
Speaker 2: the most followed.
Speaker 1: Woman on Instagram.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: I mean I would have said Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2: I would have said Taylor Swift, oh yeahs or Kim.
Speaker 1: K Yeah Sabrina Carpenter's getting up there. But yeah, that's
Speaker 1: that's crazy. Now, what do you think?
Speaker 2: So obviously there's talent all over the place on the
Speaker 2: Disney Channel, what do you think, in your opinion, having
Speaker 2: seen the Disney machine works in the works of the
Speaker 2: Disney Machine, what what makes somebody come out like a
Speaker 2: Selena Gomez where they become a megastar and other people
Speaker 2: come out and they kind of do their Disney Channel
Speaker 2: stuff and then they go off and they have a
Speaker 2: regular life.
Speaker 3: Well, to me, I think it's having obviously an uber
Speaker 3: amount of talent makes a sure big part of it.
Speaker 2: Lots of talented kids come off the channel though, and
Speaker 2: then don't ever really go in.
Speaker 3: That's true. She has an aspect that's like really relatable.
Speaker 3: She's like that girl next door. I think that you
Speaker 3: like believe could easily be your best friend had you
Speaker 3: guys know, in real life, like like the way she
Speaker 3: just seems to be very personable to me, I think,
Speaker 3: and which to me like I again, I've met her
Speaker 3: several times. She's always been so so sweet, you know,
Speaker 3: never too cool for school. The you know Disney Channel games,
Speaker 3: they want us to put these headbands on, and you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, some of the girls were like,
Speaker 3: uh no, I don't want to do that, and she
Speaker 3: was like sure, Like you know, she's she's super sweet
Speaker 3: and very humble, and I think that she see. What
Speaker 3: I think makes a huge difference is she took her
Speaker 3: role as being like, you know, some one who kids
Speaker 3: look up to, really serious and always kept all the
Speaker 3: projects she was involved in with like an end like
Speaker 3: positive type thing.
Speaker 2: Right, But that's on the channel. What I mean is
Speaker 2: to become successful. It seems like afterwards a lot of
Speaker 2: the things, like whether it be Miley, Cyrus or any
Speaker 2: of these kind of people, they so break the mold
Speaker 2: by doing something I think, say that's.
Speaker 3: What I'm saying. She embraced the idea of like my
Speaker 3: fan base knows me as you know, somebody who makes
Speaker 3: good decisions like things like that, break break out of it.
Speaker 1: What was spring Breakers? And why was it controversial? So?
Speaker 4: Harmony Krinn is a controversial actor. He did a movie
Speaker 4: in the nineties called Kids.
Speaker 1: Oh God, I remember Kids.
Speaker 4: So this was a movie about like four girls going
Speaker 4: on a wild spring break. It had drugs, that had sex,
Speaker 4: it had so it was her, It was Vanessa Hudgens,
Speaker 4: Ashton Benson, and somebody else I can't remember.
Speaker 3: So why.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what they did.
Speaker 3: I never ever heard of that. To me, she was
Speaker 3: the one out of the girls her age, right, because
Speaker 3: remember I'm older than them. She was the one. They
Speaker 3: were the up and coming right after we were doing
Speaker 3: all of our things that we were looking at them
Speaker 3: like why are you doing that? Like don't like you know,
Speaker 3: it's not that you can't be normal, you can't have
Speaker 3: your fun, but like she was the one that was
Speaker 3: not like that, Like she didn't seem want to do
Speaker 3: grow up really fast.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think it's about growing up really fast.
Speaker 2: I think it's about the fact that you are identified
Speaker 2: with one very kind of saccharine, sweet little girl, especially
Speaker 2: for the girls, little girl kind of persona of your
Speaker 2: Hannah Montana or your you know, Hillary du whatever, the
Speaker 2: Lizzie Maguire or you're you're a wizard on Wizards of
Speaker 2: Waverley Place, and to break out of that mold to
Speaker 2: truly show you're not that. It's seems like swinging for
Speaker 2: the fences is a thing that a lot of these,
Speaker 2: especially young women do and where it's like I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go do I mean, look at look at them Euphoria.
Speaker 2: So you've got Euphouri, You've got spring Breakers, You've got
Speaker 2: all these kind of thing where And I think, unfortunately
Speaker 2: that's become the norm of breaking out of Disney Channel.
Speaker 2: It's not you very rarely find somebody who becomes a
Speaker 2: superstar who was a superstar and Disney Channel who continues
Speaker 2: as an adult as a superstar, unless they do something
Speaker 2: so mold breaking that it's a little crazy.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think probably that's what you would feel
Speaker 3: in the industry, like I'm only gonna get I'm gonna
Speaker 3: get type casted, right See for me, I was like
Speaker 3: please type cast me that I.
Speaker 1: Felt the same way I wanted to keep doing families
Speaker 1: want to I.
Speaker 3: Don't want to do that stuff that's gonna be so
Speaker 3: extreme that it's gonna be so shocking that you know
Speaker 3: what I mean. Like I was good, like, let me
Speaker 3: do dancy with the star, Let me be a dancer.
Speaker 3: Yeah that loves to dance.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: But again I didn't end up blowing up and being
Speaker 3: a Miley Cyrus right, you know I didn't, you know,
Speaker 3: so maybe that is something. But I also think a
Speaker 3: part of it, especially for girls that do feel the
Speaker 3: ceiling happened to them very quickly as a girl wanting
Speaker 3: to not be a girl like a young girl. They
Speaker 3: want to be seen more as like sexy or you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. Like that I think is a
Speaker 3: very natural thing that you go through like your early twenties.
Speaker 3: For me, I was on the channel in my early twenties.
Speaker 1: Different that makes sense.
Speaker 3: Like I made that decision yet later in life that
Speaker 3: like this is what I wanted to do. I kept
Speaker 3: saying yes to everything that they wanted me to do
Speaker 3: for the Cheetah girls without wanting to necessarily have more
Speaker 3: of like a sexier like you know, it was like
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Got to break out of the mole.
Speaker 2: Yeah is the key apparently, which is maybe not the
Speaker 2: greatest key, but anyway.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I mean, and it's like, I don't know,
Speaker 3: just want to make it for yourself.
Speaker 2: You do, hey, exactly. Everybody's got to walk their own path.
Speaker 2: And then you got Demi Levado is Rosalinda. Demi also
Speaker 2: starred on Barney and quickly entered the Disney Machine as
Speaker 2: part of the channel interstitials called Hear That interstitials called
Speaker 2: as the Bell Rings. These were two to five minute
Speaker 2: comedy sketches shown in between shows, and this, of course
Speaker 2: all led to a role in the dcom Camp Rock,
Speaker 2: which became a cultural phenomenon. Working alongside the Joe Bros,
Speaker 2: she dated joebro too.
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, okay, just she dated Joe.
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, Joe.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to have a Joe Bro counter just
Speaker 2: to see which one of the stars they dated. But
Speaker 2: Demi's focus since has been in music, where she sold
Speaker 2: over two hundred and fifty four million records in the
Speaker 2: United States. Crazy won an MTV Video Music Award, fourteen
Speaker 2: teen Choice Awards, five People's Choice Awards, two Latin American
Speaker 2: Music Awards, and a Grammy nomination and all this The
Speaker 2: impressive part is, unless it's been in.
Speaker 1: A movie, I've never heard a single song.
Speaker 2: She also has become an ally by openly and honestly
Speaker 2: talking about her own battles with addiction, eating disorders, and
Speaker 2: sexual identity, and is quite a one to two punch here.
Speaker 1: With Demi and Selena.
Speaker 2: It was like, let's take our biggest stars into a
Speaker 2: movie together, and of course it worked. Nicholas Brown plays
Speaker 2: ed Magical Rewinders will recognize Nicholas from his role in
Speaker 2: the dcom Minute Men, but he's been in some legendary
Speaker 2: teen and ya projects of all time. He starred in
Speaker 2: Disney's Sky High and Perks of Being a Wallflower, but
Speaker 2: his real breakout came in adulthood when he was cast
Speaker 2: as Greg on the HBO hit Succession, a show that
Speaker 2: got him his first Emmy nomination. He most recently played
Speaker 2: This Is Crazy both Andy Kaufman and Jim Henson in
Speaker 2: Jason Wrightman's SNL movie Saturday Night, and another familiar name,
Speaker 2: Jamie Chung, plays Chelsea. Jamie began her career as a
Speaker 2: housemate on the revolutionary MTV reality show The Real World.
Speaker 2: No Idea that Happened and has turned into both a
Speaker 2: modeling and acting career. She's appeared in movies like I
Speaker 2: Now Pronounced You, Chuck and Larry Sucker Punch, and The
Speaker 2: Hangovers two and three.
Speaker 1: She's also the voice of Go Go in Big Heroes.
Speaker 2: So yes, this movie stars two of the biggest Disney
Speaker 2: stars to ever grace the channel, But none of that
Speaker 2: matters if it's too damn long.
Speaker 1: So what is the run time? People?
Speaker 2: Can we be as excited about the length of this
Speaker 2: film as we are about the woman who share top billing? Well,
Speaker 2: I'm happy you asked. Prince's Protection Program or PPP runs
Speaker 2: ninety minutes.
Speaker 1: He Yah, Halla, hallelujah.
Speaker 2: We've done it again, people, We kicked the target, ring
Speaker 2: the bell.
Speaker 1: And then go to taco bell. What a glorious time
Speaker 1: here on Magical Rewind.
Speaker 2: We applaud all those involved and continue to hope you
Speaker 2: are the majority and not the minority.
Speaker 1: Ninety minutes.
Speaker 2: They've done it, and when we send out thank you
Speaker 2: cards everybody for that. Let's start with the writers Annie
Speaker 2: Deyung and David Morganson. Annie began her career on The
Speaker 2: Honey I Shrunk the Kid's TV show and would enter
Speaker 2: the dcom Orbit with Return to Halloween.
Speaker 1: Town and Johnny Cappahala back on the board.
Speaker 2: She'd go on to write three more dcoms after that, Starstruck,
Speaker 2: Sixteen Wishes and Girl Versus.
Speaker 1: Monster and announcing right now.
Speaker 2: I would absolutely love to have her on the pod
Speaker 2: because I would like to speak to her. And then
Speaker 2: there's David Morganson spent most of his career writing on
Speaker 2: award shows and assorted TV comedies, but his longest tenure
Speaker 2: was on the bay Watch parody TV show Son of
Speaker 2: the Beach.
Speaker 1: But this movie was his last recognizable credit.
Speaker 2: All right, let's find out what happens when two worlds
Speaker 2: collide and hang out at a bait shop.
Speaker 1: It's time for Princess Protection Program.
Speaker 2: We open on the bayou. We see alligator's turtles and dragonflies.
Speaker 2: We are, of course, in New York City.
Speaker 1: He's still there with me. I'm kidding. We're in the
Speaker 1: swamps of Louisiana.
Speaker 2: We learn of Joe's Bait Shack, a local business where
Speaker 2: young Carter Mason is behind the counter furiously writing something.
Speaker 2: When a customer throws some bait, she's at first offended,
Speaker 2: but when she sees it's her cut classmate Donnie call
Speaker 2: him hot Donnie. She gives him a pass, but he
Speaker 2: doesn't even know her name, which she obviously knows his.
Speaker 2: This was weird because I didn't understand this first part,
Speaker 2: and I was very worthy he'd write off the bat.
Speaker 2: He asks her how much for the bait and she
Speaker 2: responds free a deal is a deal, free bait in
Speaker 2: exchange for never having to take the bus again.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: As he leaves, she sprints out to following but is
Speaker 2: stopped by her dad. He embarrasses her a little bit
Speaker 2: and says goodbye. So apparently Donnie is going to drive
Speaker 2: her to school every day as part of some deal
Speaker 2: that they made, but he doesn't know her name, So
Speaker 2: when did they make this deal? And then Donnie is
Speaker 2: a sweet new convertible with two other girls, Brooke and Chelsea.
Speaker 2: They're already inside, attitude thrown around, and eventually Donnie leaves.
Speaker 1: Without her, claiming there isn't enough room in the car.
Speaker 1: So what the was the deal?
Speaker 3: I don't know? And also why when her dad does
Speaker 3: his job takes him away. I mean he does seem
Speaker 3: to run this.
Speaker 2: Like he's like the head security guy of the Princess
Speaker 2: Protection Program.
Speaker 3: Yes, but like he also has this bait shop, like
Speaker 3: it's his, it's right outside their house. We've got another
Speaker 3: work related laze outside of someone's living.
Speaker 2: This at least makes sense if you like live on
Speaker 2: the bayou, Like, at least it's better than like it's
Speaker 2: a big garage house.
Speaker 3: Like what his car is right there? Why can't he
Speaker 3: drive her to school?
Speaker 1: Oh see?
Speaker 2: I think that didn't bother me because again, a lot
Speaker 2: of parents are like, you're making your way to school
Speaker 2: and or she's like, no, I want to hit your
Speaker 2: ride with hot Donnie. But a how do you make
Speaker 2: a deal with somebody who don't know their name? B
Speaker 2: then there's no deal. She just gives them the bait
Speaker 2: and then he just drives away. So had they spoken
Speaker 2: before and made some deal that then we don't This
Speaker 2: was a weird start, and I was like, all right,
Speaker 2: from the beginning, this could be at.
Speaker 3: LISTA think she was trying to hit on him.
Speaker 1: I think she was trying to hit on him because
Speaker 1: he has no idea who she is.
Speaker 2: Because but but the deal is a deal, like they
Speaker 2: they then they both played it wrong.
Speaker 4: She said it before she like she's like trying to
Speaker 4: be like well, like the deal of the deal, like
Speaker 4: we're gonna do this right, and then she kind of
Speaker 4: cringes when he's like, uh okay, you can see her
Speaker 4: and be like give it a cringe, Like she just
Speaker 4: like messed up what she was trying to do. So
Speaker 4: I think it's just like the shy girl trying to
Speaker 4: take her chance at the hot guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, to rewrite that, you shouldn't have been a deal
Speaker 2: a deal. It should have been like I'll make a
Speaker 2: deal with you. You can have that for free if
Speaker 2: I never have to ride on the bus again like that,
Speaker 2: instead of like remember that deal we had.
Speaker 3: And by the way, I see they're picking up this
Speaker 3: is one of my spree seas. Why is he picking
Speaker 3: up bait right before school?
Speaker 1: Because that's the time when bait is the freshest, is
Speaker 1: right before school. Everybody knows that spring.
Speaker 2: Because then you take the bag of worms and you
Speaker 2: leave it in your convertible in the hot sun.
Speaker 3: Everybody like, where's he gonna take this bait? And we
Speaker 3: never ever once see his or doing anything.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, are you telling me you would not start
Speaker 2: your day in Orange County by going to the local
Speaker 2: bait shack buying a bag of bait and then going
Speaker 2: to high school.
Speaker 1: What the hell was your school?
Speaker 3: Like, I've only been fishing once and it was a
Speaker 3: terrible experience.
Speaker 2: I'll never do that again fishing anyway, We'll go some time.
Speaker 2: You're just gonna have to bait my hook anyway. So
Speaker 2: Carter hitches a ride with her dad, furious of those girls.
Speaker 2: His phone rings. It's his boss sending him on another
Speaker 2: work trip. It's a quote unquote routine op and will
Speaker 2: only take two days, Max, but that's what he always says.
Speaker 2: They pull up to Lake Monroe High School and exchange
Speaker 2: acute secret handshake and ladies and gentlemen, it's official.
Speaker 1: We have a good dcom Dad.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, in a massive castle far away, her Royal Highness,
Speaker 2: Princess Rosalinda Marie Montoya Fiore, is presented with a large
Speaker 2: amount of pop in circumstance.
Speaker 1: She's in a rehearsal for her big coronation next.
Speaker 2: Month with the help of mister Elegante, her dress designer
Speaker 2: and friend. Nearby, her mom is thanking a familiar looking soldier.
Speaker 1: Hey wait, it's.
Speaker 2: Carter's dad and he's being called Major Mason, So apparently
Speaker 2: is he part of the army of this country. And
Speaker 2: if he's not and he's just part of the Prince's
Speaker 2: protection program, are they not allowed guns?
Speaker 1: Are they only sent places where they still sword fight?
Speaker 3: Disney Channel, That's.
Speaker 2: Why they should have gone more Disney. That's what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: Go way more Disney with all this stuff. Like almost
Speaker 2: like there's two worlds you're going through where you're like
Speaker 2: walking through the veil of real life in Louisiana to
Speaker 2: then a literal Disney Princess Like go even bigger with it,
Speaker 2: because this is like, well, if you're in the real
Speaker 2: world and we're sending you on an op, maybe we
Speaker 2: won't send you alone with just a sword.
Speaker 1: So it's you know, that's what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's like make it where it's you literally have to
Speaker 2: walk through the underground bunker and you leave our world
Speaker 2: and you chant it.
Speaker 1: Yes, got it.
Speaker 2: That's like the land of Narnia and you come into
Speaker 2: Disney princess Land where this PPP exists. That's why I
Speaker 2: was like, go one way or another. It's like I
Speaker 2: just and again I did. I love the idea. The
Speaker 2: idea is great, and I was just just I wasn't
Speaker 2: sure what it was yet, where it was just like, Okay,
Speaker 2: is this is she a real princess? Is this a
Speaker 2: place that's supposed to exist in our world like this land?
Speaker 2: Or is he going to a world where then you're
Speaker 2: protecting a like Descendants, where it's like ye, through this thing,
Speaker 2: this veil, there's an actual world, And so I was
Speaker 2: kind of wondering which way they were going with it.
Speaker 2: I just didn't get it. And if it is the
Speaker 2: real world, maybe more than one guy.
Speaker 1: With justice sword.
Speaker 2: But this was the job he left for. He's there
Speaker 2: to look after Princess Rosalinda. It seems Rosalinda's dad recently
Speaker 2: passed away, making hear the future soul queen.
Speaker 1: Of Costa Luna.
Speaker 2: It's a lot of pressure and responsibility, and her mom
Speaker 2: is afraid that General Cain, an enemy of their country,
Speaker 2: will take advantage of that. So Major Mason promises dependable security,
Speaker 2: and so her mom now joins Rosalinda for the rehearsal,
Speaker 2: practicing a crowning in front of her subjects quote unquote
Speaker 2: that will officially make her next in line. The official
Speaker 2: continues to run through by asking if there's any objections,
Speaker 2: and out of nowhere, a very threatening sword again is
Speaker 2: thrown at Rosalinda taking the crown right off her head
Speaker 2: and elegant, but not.
Speaker 1: Elegante, that's just the dress designer, thank you very much.
Speaker 2: General Cain of a Costa Estrella announces his objection.
Speaker 1: Where the hell is Mason and his dependable security?
Speaker 3: Yeah before right there?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: And how strong is your country when this general and
Speaker 2: two guys.
Speaker 1: Now with swords can take the whole place over?
Speaker 3: Well, we quickly see that her, you know, the guy
Speaker 3: that looks like the castle security that's like helping her
Speaker 3: through the coronation y aspect. He's instantly like I was like,
Speaker 3: oh my, he just flipped like so quick. Was he
Speaker 3: already planning this? Was he the one?
Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening.
Speaker 2: This is the nicest coup that has ever taken place
Speaker 2: anywhere in history.
Speaker 1: And that's why I was like, wait, is this a
Speaker 1: real land?
Speaker 2: Are we supposed to imagine we're in in the world
Speaker 2: like our world right now? Are we supposed to be
Speaker 2: in princess Land? And they kind of explain it by
Speaker 2: just going, oh, it's not on many maps.
Speaker 1: What's happening.
Speaker 3: He's really small, It's really small.
Speaker 2: Okay, So he claims the princess is too young to
Speaker 2: be queen and his country needs to unite with Coasta Luna.
Speaker 2: He will step in as the president of both lands
Speaker 2: and instructs his troops to kidnap the family. With that,
Speaker 2: we get a scrimmage for the women. As a General
Speaker 2: Kine nonchalantly walked away, and finally we see Major Mason
Speaker 2: unsheathe his small pair of knitting scissors that they allowed
Speaker 2: him to have.
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. They give him the sword.
Speaker 2: What the hell bro He cuts to drape and uses
Speaker 2: it to swing in action, knocking out some bad guys
Speaker 2: and landing in front of the ladies. Mason rushes Rosalinda off,
Speaker 2: and her mom stays behind. She's eventually pulled in different
Speaker 2: directions for safety. Elegante sees that Rosalinda has been able
Speaker 2: to escape, and he grins. Mason and the future Queen
Speaker 2: run down the castle stairs and eventually meet back with
Speaker 2: her mom. She says she knew General Cain would show up,
Speaker 2: so she set up an emergency plan with Mason. She
Speaker 2: makes Rosalinda promise to follow his lead, but before they leave,
Speaker 2: her mom hands her a necklace to always remember that
Speaker 2: no matter where she is, she is a princess. Mason
Speaker 2: and Rosalinda leave the grounds, followed close behind by a
Speaker 2: Cain's henchman, but the good guys board a waiting helicopter
Speaker 2: that's just there and take off just in time. A
Speaker 2: crying Rosalinda leaves her family behind to face Cain, who
Speaker 2: will now take her mom captive and wait for her
Speaker 2: daughter's return. The next thing we then see is Rosalinda
Speaker 2: dropped off on a deserted island. Mason leads to a large,
Speaker 2: mysterious electronic elevator door and presses a button. On their
Speaker 2: way underground, a large video screen appears, and the director
Speaker 2: explains she's been entered in a secret International Princess Program
Speaker 2: or the International Princess Protection Program PPP.
Speaker 1: Actually should have been the IPPP, which sounds weird anyway.
Speaker 2: The elevator finally stops and the director appears. She invites
Speaker 2: Rosalinda into a full scale operational headquarters for an agency
Speaker 2: funded by the world's royal families. She claims she's currently
Speaker 2: hiding twenty nine princesses because apparently there's princesses.
Speaker 1: All over our world.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know this, this is where it was like
Speaker 3: large number.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. It's like, if you're gonna this
Speaker 1: is where they.
Speaker 2: The slightest tweak in the script, the slightest little tweak
Speaker 2: could have made this one of the greatest d coms
Speaker 2: of all time. Literally, like these are the princesses from
Speaker 2: from mythical lens, like what they used to do with Shrek,
Speaker 2: where it's like you're seeing kind of the behind the
Speaker 2: scenes of like the for princesses lives and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Do something like that.
Speaker 2: We're in the in between world between your world and
Speaker 2: our world and the princesses.
Speaker 3: Set up like with the big giant, crazy elevator that
Speaker 3: they take down below to this like corpor world. You
Speaker 3: know that they've got like they they had stuff that
Speaker 3: being in Puerto Rico, using the castles that they had,
Speaker 3: It wouldn't have taken them much to make it just
Speaker 3: more enchanted.
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, you go from the enchanted world to the
Speaker 2: real world.
Speaker 1: What was the the what was the movie enchanted?
Speaker 3: Enchanted?
Speaker 1: Okay, it's called a chance, That's what it is.
Speaker 2: There you go so that so that movie, like the
Speaker 2: vibe of that movie here, Yes, would have been really
Speaker 2: interesting because then they could have even taken her character
Speaker 2: a little farther when she gets to this our country.
Speaker 3: And actually right around when enchanted, Okay, that makes sense
Speaker 3: came out because this was around Chetah three and our
Speaker 3: wardrobe stylisted enchanted.
Speaker 1: That's oh okay, found her interesting.
Speaker 2: So then you wonder it's because then you know the
Speaker 2: scene at the end where then Selena Gomez's character has
Speaker 2: to go back through the portal to watch her be crowned.
Speaker 2: I mean all that stuff. You could have made a
Speaker 2: bigger Disney kind of deal of this. I think they
Speaker 2: just they just missed the boat a little bit on
Speaker 2: what this was. Because she walks in and there's two
Speaker 2: women in ball gowns. Were they supposed to be other princesses?
Speaker 3: Yes? Or like the one that was the like the
Speaker 3: African queen.
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: That oh her, she's stunning. Like it was like, you know, yeah,
Speaker 3: they set it up to where they could have easily
Speaker 3: done that whole thing that was.
Speaker 2: That was my biggest criticism is I just tonally felt
Speaker 2: like they didn't go far enough with the Disney at
Speaker 2: this time.
Speaker 1: A lot of times I'm like, oh God, it's so Disney,
Speaker 1: pull it back. This time.
Speaker 2: I think they should have gone full full thrust into
Speaker 2: Disney and it would have been would have been great.
Speaker 2: But anyway, the elevator finally stops. The director appears. She
Speaker 2: invites rose Linda into the operational headquarters. She has an
Speaker 2: Russian accent for some reason. She claims she's currently hiding
Speaker 2: twenty nine princesses who have been threatened in some way,
Speaker 2: and they take an escalator down to an even busier
Speaker 2: wing of the operation. It looks like a fancy casino
Speaker 2: lobby with soldiers walking actual princesses in different directions and again,
Speaker 2: and it makes more sense if you're in a mythical
Speaker 2: world that there's princesses all over the place instead of
Speaker 2: the fact that there's hundreds of princesses in our world.
Speaker 2: Rosalinda is now set up for stage three, which is transformation.
Speaker 2: They will make her unrecognizable by cutting her hair and
Speaker 2: changing her wardrobe, but the process puts her into a
Speaker 2: panic mode and she demands to see Major Mason, the
Speaker 2: only person she can trust. As a result, she is
Speaker 2: reunited with her savior and she demands to be returned home.
Speaker 2: He explains that General Kin has completely taken over, so
Speaker 2: that's not possible, but once he's removed from power. She
Speaker 2: can return. She just needs to blend in and stay safe.
Speaker 2: Since General Kine is waiting for her to contact her
Speaker 2: mom then decipher her location, she's got to stay with him,
Speaker 2: so if she cares about her country or her mom,
Speaker 2: she needs to disappear. With this in mind, she returns
Speaker 2: to the salon for a chop and a new color.
Speaker 2: She is now Rosy Gonzales, an average American girl who's
Speaker 2: now ready for Stage four relocation. We're sent back to Louisiana.
Speaker 2: Major Mason is driving Rosy into town, driving to his
Speaker 2: bait shop. She is severely culture shocked, obviously moving in
Speaker 2: with Major Mation on the swamp, and at the same time,
Speaker 2: a bus brings Carter back from school. She runs into
Speaker 2: the house, excited to see her dad, but is shocked
Speaker 2: to find a random girl who stumbles her name during
Speaker 2: her introduction, which I thought was great. She walks in,
Speaker 2: She's like.
Speaker 1: Hello, who are you?
Speaker 2: It is, of course, Rosie. She's been moved into a
Speaker 2: bedroom with Carter, and obviously Carter has some questions. She
Speaker 2: finds her dad working outside. Major Mason explains that the
Speaker 2: director forced him to bring Rosie home since she only
Speaker 2: trusts him Carter realizes she doesn't have a choice here,
Speaker 2: so she agrees to help the princess blend in as
Speaker 2: her American cousin. It's a rough start between the girls,
Speaker 2: but a start, nonetheless, and the chemistry is instant between
Speaker 2: the two. The characters are very well defined, they're very
Speaker 2: well acted, even Demi Lovado's cadence as she's reading all
Speaker 2: the lines.
Speaker 1: It all works.
Speaker 2: That night, Carter plays cards with her dad, who needs
Speaker 2: the girls to get along. He suggests bringing the princess
Speaker 2: a slice of pizza, and Carter obliges, sighing the entire way.
Speaker 2: Rosie is still awkwardly sitting in the bedroom, unmoved and uninterested.
Speaker 2: She does ask Carter to make her bed and get
Speaker 2: her a pink nightgown, which of course does not go
Speaker 2: over well with bait Girl. Then, when Rosie excuses herself
Speaker 2: to the bathroom downstairs, she stumbles on a massive iguana
Speaker 2: and screams. Carter and her dad explain it's just a lizard,
Speaker 2: something she's never seen before, because she has a royal
Speaker 2: reptile wrangler like we all do. My guy's name is Steve.
Speaker 2: The next morning, Rosie looks at a banana like it's
Speaker 2: a dinosaur egg, which seems way over the top. This
Speaker 2: is where I was like, Okay, is she from our
Speaker 2: world or not? Because if she is, why does a
Speaker 2: banana look like the strangest thing you've ever seen in
Speaker 2: your life? The banana is part of a family breakfast
Speaker 2: where Rosie and her dad drink milk straight out of
Speaker 2: the carton and dig into whatever they find in the fridge.
Speaker 2: It's not exactly royal, but seems very real. The bus arrives,
Speaker 2: so the girls rush outside just as Major Mason gets
Speaker 2: a call from the director. He announces that Princess three
Speaker 2: seventy nine Stage four is complete.
Speaker 1: And that she's safe. So we imagine they have done
Speaker 1: this with three hundred and eighty other princesses in our world.
Speaker 1: Little tweak, one little tweet.
Speaker 2: Now arriving at school, the girls are welcomed by classmate
Speaker 2: Ed and his camcorder. I remembered him for a minute. Man,
Speaker 2: I love the stuff that he does. He's so interesting
Speaker 2: to look at. He's such a good actor. This guy's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: First, the way he's throwing around terms like queen, you
Speaker 2: think he knows the truth about Rosie, But he's just
Speaker 2: filming a documentary about how he thinks Carter will be
Speaker 2: the dark horse for the homecoming queen this year and
Speaker 2: just in case, Carter explains to Ed that she's from Iowa,
Speaker 2: not a queen. Did this confuse you at all? Where
Speaker 2: he's saying queen and everything? And I was like, wait,
Speaker 2: does he know? Like right, what what's happening?
Speaker 3: I did at first the very like first two times,
Speaker 3: I was like, Oh, Carter's told him what's going on?
Speaker 3: That seems kind of strange that she would tell him
Speaker 3: this kind of top secret information. But then I realized, like, oh, no,
Speaker 3: this is just him. He's filming Carter thinking Carter's gonna
Speaker 3: get some kind of title of some sort. So I realized,
Speaker 3: But yeah, first, at first it did. The thing that
Speaker 3: really confused me is we really do this whole little
Speaker 3: gif like a couple times and then like never see
Speaker 3: the actual documentary. That annoyed me at least great at
Speaker 3: the end of the credits, like some shots of it,
Speaker 3: something like agree some kind of closure with that because
Speaker 3: it was a cute idea.
Speaker 1: You know, I agree.
Speaker 2: The bell rings and it's time for Carter and Rosie's
Speaker 2: first class. When Rosie attempts to sit in an open
Speaker 2: seat Donnie or hatty Donnie, depending on if you like
Speaker 2: him or not.
Speaker 1: The guy at the.
Speaker 2: Convertible at the beginning has a fresh answer that turns
Speaker 2: into a truly terrible secret handshake with his best friend
Speaker 2: to celebrate the sick burn. But when Donnie turns around
Speaker 2: to see her, he is stunned by her beauty and gladly.
Speaker 1: Gives up her seat.
Speaker 2: And now the teacher walks in. Who is the single
Speaker 2: hottest teacher in the history of the world. It's French class,
Speaker 2: and Rosie immediately outs herself as fluent in not only French,
Speaker 2: but maybe a dozen other languages as well. I saw
Speaker 2: none of this, just trying to get a better look
Speaker 2: at the teacher who was stunning, truly stunning looking.
Speaker 1: It was amazing this.
Speaker 3: By the way, though, this little bit of you know,
Speaker 3: anyone that really kind of like lives outside the US,
Speaker 3: and how they people tend to know at least three languages.
Speaker 3: Like when we were both in Barcelona traveling for other
Speaker 3: things India, the people that we were around, it wasn't
Speaker 3: like they had some crazy high education, literally, it was
Speaker 3: just very normal to have the ability to like speak
Speaker 3: fluently in like three to four languages.
Speaker 2: We're one of the only countries in the world where
Speaker 2: this is. The very idea of having more than one
Speaker 2: language in your head is.
Speaker 3: Absurd, I know it.
Speaker 1: True languages.
Speaker 2: You go to Amsterdam and everybody in Amsterdam speaks English, German,
Speaker 2: French and Dutch.
Speaker 3: Toronto, because it's like a melting pot.
Speaker 1: Of different everyone speaks multiple languages.
Speaker 3: Spain, you know several, you know, like.
Speaker 1: Everyone everyone, and I'd like to as well. I just
Speaker 1: don't know which one is.
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna pick Claims. I think I'm gonna
Speaker 2: pick cling On because Klingon I'll use.
Speaker 1: That more than anything else. Well, I Spra, I don't know,
Speaker 1: you know anyway, I.
Speaker 3: Think I'd love to learn whatever languages they do in
Speaker 3: The Lord of the Rings.
Speaker 1: Oh, so there you go.
Speaker 3: Yes, The Lord of the Ring. No, but more so.
Speaker 2: Game of Thrones. Oh that was a completely invented language
Speaker 2: you have the I know, was that Drakari or something
Speaker 2: like that. I think it's great something I like to
Speaker 2: wear Drakari Nuwari.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Anyway.
Speaker 2: We are now back in Coasta Luna General Kine spins
Speaker 2: the globe. Where is this princess her mother is brought
Speaker 2: in for questioning, but she's not talking for the record.
Speaker 2: Elegante is there too, taking Caine's measurements. The general details
Speaker 2: the plan for his eventual reign, and she's quickly taken away.
Speaker 2: Back in Louisiana, Rosie cuts a long line in the
Speaker 2: cafeteria and is rightly shamed for it. Don't cut the
Speaker 2: line in the calf but she's saved by hot Dannie,
Speaker 2: who says, go ahead and cut. She orders a hamburger,
Speaker 2: which again she does not know what that is is,
Speaker 2: And that makes sense if she's from a Disney world,
Speaker 2: not if she lives in our world. Everybody knows what
Speaker 2: a hamburger is and is off to find her lunch table.
Speaker 1: That's the other thing.
Speaker 2: If you make it a mythical land, all these things
Speaker 2: makes sense and you can go even farther with it.
Speaker 3: Yes, and Demi I believe would have been such a
Speaker 3: great like wide eyed warlike yep, Disney like cartoon.
Speaker 2: It looks like she's always like They make it look
Speaker 2: like she's always about to break into song. They never
Speaker 2: would have her do it, but seems like it like
Speaker 2: those kind of things could have been really funny. But anyway,
Speaker 2: She looks to Carter, but her roommate doesn't offer her
Speaker 2: a seat, so instead she finds a corner table and
Speaker 2: sits alone, properly working through her lunch like it's a
Speaker 2: five course royal meal. Nearby, cool girl Chelsea, sitting with Donnie,
Speaker 2: is weirded out by Rosie's behavior and the fact that
Speaker 2: this is Carter's cousin. Donnie, though, seems very interested in
Speaker 2: the new student, and gets kicked under the table.
Speaker 1: By Chelsea from making it obvious.
Speaker 2: Eventually, Carter has a change of heart and joins Rosie,
Speaker 2: concerned that even the way she eats a hamburger is suspicious,
Speaker 2: which it is. She warns the transfer about the fluent
Speaker 2: French stuff and eating with her pinkies out. Their conversation
Speaker 2: is interrupted by the principle, who reminds the student body
Speaker 2: that the homecoming court nominations are coming up. Brook and
Speaker 2: Chelsea think they're shoe ins, and we learn the three girls,
Speaker 2: but the most votes will be princesses, then only one
Speaker 2: will be voted queen at the dance. Rosie can't believe
Speaker 2: they vote for their queen and anyone could be a princess.
Speaker 2: That's not how it works. Then, out of nowhere, Rosie
Speaker 2: stands on her seat and nominates her cousin to be
Speaker 2: on the court, completely embarrassing Carter and sending her right
Speaker 2: out of the lunch area.
Speaker 1: Rosie follows close behind.
Speaker 2: Back at the bait shop, Rosie is still under tail,
Speaker 2: but Carter wants to be left alone. Rosie eventually quote
Speaker 2: unquote orders her to stop, and Carter just isn't having it.
Speaker 2: They get face to face and luckily Major Mason breaks
Speaker 2: them up. Carter explains that the princess can't even pretend
Speaker 2: to be a normal teenager and it's a lost cause,
Speaker 2: but Major Mason says it will work. They just need
Speaker 2: to give it some time. That night, in bed, Rosie
Speaker 2: is stressed and looking at a locket with a picture
Speaker 2: of her mom and dad Dad. The next morning, Carter
Speaker 2: is getting the bait shop ready when Rosie joins her
Speaker 2: and is interested in learning what quote unquote chores are.
Speaker 2: Carter starts her off with inventory, a job that will
Speaker 2: keep her busy all day involving. Now, Carter has time
Speaker 2: to join her dad painting a boat, while Rosie climbs
Speaker 2: a shelving unit to get some buckets. A precarious move
Speaker 2: by all accounts. Eventually we hear a loud crash and
Speaker 2: Major Mason finds the princess covered in worms. She shakes
Speaker 2: it off, though, and leaves to bathe. Later, while still
Speaker 2: in the house, Rosie, now in a flower crown, sees
Speaker 2: Carter and her dad having a conversation about ordering pizza,
Speaker 2: but she surprises them with a fancy table setting for dinner.
Speaker 2: It's a thank you for helping her with a bake catastrophe.
Speaker 2: Her plan is to serve them and give them matching
Speaker 2: flower crowns. Rosie reveals her mother was raised a peasant,
Speaker 2: so she has many recipes that were passed down. Major
Speaker 2: Mason excitedly admits they haven't had a home cooked meal
Speaker 2: in a long time, but Carter is hesitant and continues
Speaker 2: to be snooty, forcing Rosie to excuse herself. Rosie is
Speaker 2: laying in their bedroom sulking when Carter enters. They each
Speaker 2: have their grapes. Rosie misses home, and Carter assumes she
Speaker 2: doesn't even want to try and blend in. She probably
Speaker 2: just misses her personal chef. In private tutors, and so
Speaker 2: Rosie tells Carter her real story and how important her
Speaker 2: small little Homeland is to her. She inherited Coast Luna
Speaker 2: when her dad died, and now her palace has been attacked.
Speaker 2: Carter's dad is the only reason she's safe, and now
Speaker 2: her mom is being held hostage. This sob story obviously
Speaker 2: affects Carter. Rosie apologizes and swears she'll try to blend
Speaker 2: in better. It's the only way to save her mom.
Speaker 2: They agree that they're going to start all over, and
Speaker 2: the first step bowling. They visit their local alley, and
Speaker 2: Rosie treats it like she's just walked into the taj Mahll.
Speaker 1: What is this wonderful place?
Speaker 2: And again, this makes way more sense if she's from
Speaker 2: a different place, different land. Carter asks her not to
Speaker 2: draw attention to herself as they rent shoes from Ed,
Speaker 2: the documentary director who also works there. Rosie doesn't even
Speaker 2: know her shoe size, again weird, and needs Ed to
Speaker 2: put them on her feet. Ed plays along in a
Speaker 2: nearby Chelsea and Brooke are confused and jealous and guess
Speaker 2: who else is at the bowling alley? Hot do she
Speaker 2: Donnie Boy, who is clearly into Rosie and not Carter.
Speaker 1: Whose name he still can't remember. When he walks away.
Speaker 2: Rosie asked Carter if that is her boyfriend, which is
Speaker 2: a completely unhinged question to ask because he didn't know
Speaker 2: her name. Yes, but she does offer one gem, noting
Speaker 2: that Ed looks at Carter the same way Carter looks
Speaker 2: at Donnie.
Speaker 1: And with that, it's time to bowl.
Speaker 2: Rosy's up first, and her first frame a strike, and
Speaker 2: the second and the third, and now the whole alley
Speaker 2: is watching again. Carter is chop Liver in every way
Speaker 2: at this school. She returns her shoes and tells Ed
Speaker 2: that her cousin can be a real and then Chelsea
Speaker 2: finishes the sentence with princess. Now do you think this
Speaker 2: was just disney the word when she literally says she
Speaker 2: can be a real princess? Do you think of what
Speaker 2: they're what she's saying Disneyland is she can be a
Speaker 2: real Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think so too.
Speaker 2: I think this is the closest we get to an
Speaker 2: actual curse word in a dcomp so far, and it's princess,
Speaker 2: so exactly exactly, It's true. It's oh except for that
Speaker 2: one time what was it in uh Camp Rock when
Speaker 2: Joe said herself, uh that that was a good.
Speaker 1: I was like what Joe just came out of nowhere
Speaker 1: in camp Rock. Wow, that was going I might as
Speaker 1: in the director's guy, I don't know if it's true. Gotcha,
Speaker 1: you don't remember that part too? Great part?
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: Chelsea and Brooke realize that Rosie is becoming very popular,
Speaker 2: and they're nervous she's gonna win Homecoming Queen, so they
Speaker 2: start to befriend her and nickname her Roe. That night,
Speaker 2: as they get ready for bed, Rosie wants to know
Speaker 2: why Carter is so into Donnie. Carter explains that she's
Speaker 2: been obsessed with him since elementary school. Rosie admits he
Speaker 2: looks like a prince, but wonders aloud if he's also
Speaker 2: beautiful on the inside. Loved all this, This gives Carter
Speaker 2: something to think about. Carter's working at the bait Chop
Speaker 2: tomorrow and Rosie wants to join her, but Carter puts
Speaker 2: up some boundaries.
Speaker 1: That's her thing.
Speaker 2: They say good night with an obvious wall still between them,
Speaker 2: even though they said they were going to start over
Speaker 2: the next day, Rosie wastes no time and gets her
Speaker 2: own job at Chelsea's dad's yogurt chop. Seems like a
Speaker 2: cool gig, except Rosie has to wear a goofy cow hat.
Speaker 1: I loved that cow hat.
Speaker 3: It's actually very cute. It was a cute little It.
Speaker 1: Was great little gig.
Speaker 2: She also gets no training whatsoever and is the only
Speaker 2: person working at the entire door, which was weird. It
Speaker 2: feels like she's obviously being set up for disaster, and
Speaker 2: that's because well she is. Back at the bait shop.
Speaker 2: Ed is filming Carter, still assured she will be a
Speaker 2: homecoming princess. It's his last day to shoot because the
Speaker 2: court will be named tomorrow. Carter thinks the whole thing
Speaker 2: is stupid and wants to do more with her life
Speaker 2: than be popular. Then Ed gets a message on his
Speaker 2: phone and he knows where Rosie is. We cut to
Speaker 2: a packed yogurt chop, where Rosie is not only over
Speaker 2: her head, but again.
Speaker 1: The only one working there.
Speaker 2: The line stretches out the door, and one guy in
Speaker 2: of Fedora is so mad he angrily snapping photos of
Speaker 2: her and her mistakes. People is flip phone, where people
Speaker 2: should just be making fun of his stupid hat. But
Speaker 2: from outside, Donnie watches the meltdown unfold and begs Chelsea
Speaker 2: and Brook to step in, Chelsea waves over another guy,
Speaker 2: Bull and quietly whispers instructions in his ear. On her command,
Speaker 2: Bull sneaks into the shop and presses the tank self
Speaker 2: clean buttons, creating an all out flood of yogurt and
Speaker 2: soap and water. The crowd lasts room misfortune, just as
Speaker 2: Carter and Ed running to help. But even Bull feels
Speaker 2: bad about his actions and he runs out, but Carter
Speaker 2: caught a glimpse of him before he left. Now, with
Speaker 2: Rosie covered in yogurt mess, they realize Chelsea set her
Speaker 2: up and invited the whole school to come and see
Speaker 2: her fail. What a princess, I should say, What a princess?
Speaker 1: You are a total princess.
Speaker 2: Carter wants to get revenge, but Rosie says she will
Speaker 2: turn the other cheek and be the bigger person. She
Speaker 2: walks out of the shop, head held high like a princess,
Speaker 2: maneuvering through the crowd gathered to laugh at her. Rosie
Speaker 2: stops at Chelsea to announce that her father, the King
Speaker 2: of Yogurts, would be very disappointed in her and quits. Also,
Speaker 2: Carter does get a little bit of revenge by smushing
Speaker 2: an ice cream cone on bull's head, shifting the focus
Speaker 2: onto that stupid goon.
Speaker 1: So Chelsea's plan backfired. Rosie is more popular than ever.
Speaker 2: She's likely to be one of the princesses tomorrow, and
Speaker 2: she could even become queen. Chelsea says she'd rather eat
Speaker 2: carbs than lose her crown to the new girl. She
Speaker 2: has a plan on how to stop this and in
Speaker 2: the future, I have like all Disney movies to stop
Speaker 2: calling anybody Chelsea, because anytime you have to say Chelsea says,
Speaker 2: it gets very difficult. Back at the bait shop, Rosie
Speaker 2: is teaching Carter how to burp and act that would
Speaker 2: make even mister Ellegante, the royal dress designer, very angry.
Speaker 1: She explains, even though she has.
Speaker 2: A lavish life, it's more important to be a shining
Speaker 2: light and friend or a source of help to her
Speaker 2: homeland like her father was. Carter is finally starting to
Speaker 2: see the genuine kindness in her fake cousin, and a
Speaker 2: friendship is starting to blossom. Back in Coasta, Luna General King,
Speaker 2: who's is a Disney villain, so it's like they kind
Speaker 2: of went that way with it. You know, he's not
Speaker 2: really threatening, he's not well armed, there's nothing really scary
Speaker 2: about him. He's a Disney villain, so they should just
Speaker 2: take it farther. He continues to rule the castle with
Speaker 2: an iron fist. His plan is to pretend that he's
Speaker 2: marrying Rosie's mom, and when she sees the announcement, when
Speaker 2: wherever she is, she will race home to stop it.
Speaker 2: Back in Louisiana, the school principal announces the homecoming court.
Speaker 2: It's Chelsea Carter and Rosie. Brooke was shut out and
Speaker 2: Chelsea has no idea how this happened. They texted everyone
Speaker 2: to vote for Carter instead of Rosie, and now they're
Speaker 2: both nominated. Chelsea blames Brooke for not being popular enough. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: Carter is not thrilled. She doesn't want to be a
Speaker 2: p Donnie approaches Rosie to be his date to the dance,
Speaker 2: and Carter can't believe what she's seeing. Carter walks off,
Speaker 2: Rosie says no, and chases after her. Back at the house,
Speaker 2: Carter is humiliated, but Rosie explains that Donnie is not
Speaker 2: worthy of her. She's more than a bait girl, she's
Speaker 2: a princess. Rosie decides she'll turn the tables and help
Speaker 2: Carter feel like Royalty and show what she has to
Speaker 2: offer to the world. It's time to find her inner.
Speaker 3: Princess her interview.
Speaker 1: In her Interview.
Speaker 2: Interview, we get a wonderful little montage as the girls
Speaker 2: show their charitable side. Carter and Rosie offer free tutoring
Speaker 2: to students in need, read books to little kids, donate clothing,
Speaker 2: and update Carter's wardrobe at a thrift shop after a
Speaker 2: busy day. Carter's impressed with how kind and generous Rosie is.
Speaker 2: It's the real definition of being a princess. And now
Speaker 2: they are officially bestie's They've both gotten over Barney in
Speaker 2: the school library book Sorry. Brooke has a Spanish assignment
Speaker 2: and is looking for a book with lots of pictures.
Speaker 2: She stumbles on a Spanish magazine with an article about
Speaker 2: Princess Rosalinda of Costa Luna. The bait shop, Major Mason
Speaker 2: gets a call from Maybe that's why, maybe this is
Speaker 2: one of the reasons why.
Speaker 1: I couldn't have been in the world.
Speaker 2: Is then how do they find out that she's yeah,
Speaker 2: part of a Disney thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but there was there could have been
Speaker 1: an easy fix there. Yes.
Speaker 2: Back at the bait shop, Major Mason gets a call
Speaker 2: from the director about this supposed.
Speaker 3: Name found the portal.
Speaker 2: There you go, perfect the great What would be interesting
Speaker 2: is you see a hand and it would be an
Speaker 2: easy thing to do. You see her hand go through
Speaker 2: the portal, and as it comes out the other side,
Speaker 2: it has a long princess glove on ith like it's
Speaker 2: like as you go into this other land, you get
Speaker 2: princified or princess afire.
Speaker 1: So that scene, but it'll been interesting. There you go,
Speaker 1: I'll rerite it now.
Speaker 2: Back at the bait shop, Major Mason gets a call
Speaker 2: from the director about this supposed engagement between Cain and
Speaker 2: Rosie's mom. They figure out it's obviously just deploy to
Speaker 2: draw the princess out, so they decide to hide this
Speaker 2: from Rosie, but are worried that someone will figure out
Speaker 2: her identity. In the meanwhile, cut to the school Jim
Speaker 2: where Chelsea is decorating for the homecoming dance. When Brooke arrives,
Speaker 2: she reveals the truth about Princess Rosalinda and hopes it
Speaker 2: can get her back in Chelsea's good graces. They translate
Speaker 2: the article, figuring out that Rosie has been sent somewhere
Speaker 2: to hide out and her mom is in prison or
Speaker 2: a paper bag.
Speaker 1: They can't translate that part.
Speaker 2: And now, despite all of her plans backfiring in the past,
Speaker 2: Chelsea has concocted yet another one. They drive to the
Speaker 2: bait shop and confront Rosie with the tabloid. Now, to
Speaker 2: keep the secret, Rosie will need to abandon her crown
Speaker 2: and endorse Chelsea for queen, which she's fine with as
Speaker 2: long as Carter keeps hers. Carter sees the mean girls
Speaker 2: on their way out, driving off and throwing their homecoming
Speaker 2: dresses into the swamp.
Speaker 1: Ah Princesses, She rushes it, ah, there you go.
Speaker 2: She rushes inside to find Rosie, who announces she must
Speaker 2: return home at once. She's read about the engagement in
Speaker 2: the magazine and now she has to stop Kane, but.
Speaker 1: Carter won't let her. It's not safe.
Speaker 2: Rosie begs are to stay out of her way. She
Speaker 2: loved Louisiana, but this isn't reality. Her reality is not
Speaker 2: as much of a fairy tale, and her country needs her,
Speaker 2: but Carter's not sold. Back in Coasta Luna, mister Ellegante
Speaker 2: gets a call. It's Carter from Rosie's phone, warning him
Speaker 2: of her plan. They decide to work together to keep
Speaker 2: her safe, as Ellegante will do anything first Princess and
Speaker 2: now Carter needs two dresses. Out of the pier, the
Speaker 2: girl's regroup to talk. Rosie says she's really gonna miss
Speaker 2: Louisiana and her new best friend, Carter, asks for a favor.
Speaker 2: She wants to help some people at Friday's dance and
Speaker 2: begs her to stay until then. We get a little
Speaker 2: montage of Carter talking to the school bus driver and
Speaker 2: some girls at the Yogan shop. They all meet it
Speaker 2: the pier to get princess lessons from Rosie and make
Speaker 2: up from the bus driver Back at the castle, though
Speaker 2: we've been backstabbed.
Speaker 1: Did you see this coming, Sabrina? Did you see this coming?
Speaker 2: Mister Elligante has taken the information he got from Carter
Speaker 2: and went straight to General Kang.
Speaker 1: Sneaky rat, now, sneaky rats.
Speaker 2: He says, let's feel the jet and go to Louisiana.
Speaker 2: Did you think this was part of the plan or
Speaker 2: did you think that he had flipped?
Speaker 3: I thought it was part of the plan.
Speaker 1: Me too, I thought it was part of the plan.
Speaker 1: Mister Elliganti is not gonna turn Come on, no, it wasn't.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't a.
Speaker 1: Sixth sense moment. The dresses arrived to the girls in America.
Speaker 1: Soon after.
Speaker 2: Rosie is shocked and Carter admits she worked with Ellegante.
Speaker 2: But there is one weird thing. Carter says, the pink
Speaker 2: dresses for Rosie, and she got the Caribbean blue for herself.
Speaker 2: And that's the opposite of what Elegante showed Kane, so
Speaker 2: keep that in mind.
Speaker 1: People.
Speaker 2: It's the night of the dance, and the girls look
Speaker 2: elegant in their dresses. Even her dad is impressed, but
Speaker 2: is pulled away by a call. So Rosie and Carter
Speaker 2: are off to the dance. But one last thing Venetian
Speaker 2: ball masks like you see in Eyes Wide Shut. Though
Speaker 2: thank god, the dance won't be anything like that again,
Speaker 2: though it's a little bit weird. The two girls arrive
Speaker 2: at the dance alongside all of their less popular friends
Speaker 2: via the school bus. All of them are wearing the
Speaker 2: ball masks, concealing their individual identities. Chelsea doesn't get it
Speaker 2: and falls face first onto the ground in hysteria, but
Speaker 2: Donnie and Ed are well frankly into the look. Inside
Speaker 2: the dance, everyone is grooving to generic pop music, while
Speaker 2: Rosie and Carter, now unmasked, are partying with two very
Speaker 2: nerdy freshmen. Donnie steps in and takes Carter by the hand.
Speaker 2: He's finally noticing her, but you know what, she isn't
Speaker 2: feeling it. She isn't feeling it now and rejects him.
Speaker 2: He says she's been waiting for this since the third grade,
Speaker 2: but she knows it's only because of her makeover, so
Speaker 2: she lets him walk away and she returns to the
Speaker 2: douieby freshman. Chelsea and Brook are dealing with all the
Speaker 2: chaos in their bathroom, but their friendship is broken. Brook
Speaker 2: is finally realizing that Chelsea is selfish and stands up
Speaker 2: for herself.
Speaker 1: She breaks up with her friend and storms out.
Speaker 2: All the unpopular girls are so thankful for Carter and
Speaker 2: Rosie's help. They feel beautiful, So everything is going really well,
Speaker 2: except General Kin has arrived with a full army of
Speaker 2: six guys just when it's time to announce the home
Speaker 2: cunning Queen. That's apparently the cue for Rosy and Carter
Speaker 2: and all their friends to put on their masks because
Speaker 2: either this party is about to get weird or they
Speaker 2: have a plan and then the party gets weird.
Speaker 1: No, I'm kidding, it's the plan. It's just the plan.
Speaker 2: And as they wait for the announcement, General Kine sneaks
Speaker 2: up on who he thinks is Rosy but is actually Carter.
Speaker 2: He threatens her come with him now or he'll harm
Speaker 2: her friends, and so she walks out with the villain.
Speaker 2: What was the plan just to switch places and then
Speaker 2: go to jail in Cassalouna.
Speaker 3: I to me, I thought the plan was gonna they
Speaker 3: were going to kidnap Carter, and that's how he was
Speaker 3: going to actually get in trouble because he was going
Speaker 3: to kidnap Carter, who lives in the US. He's on
Speaker 3: US soil and he's kidnapping like.
Speaker 1: A US citizen.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's what I feel like the whole plan was.
Speaker 1: But this was weird.
Speaker 3: Sure, if her dad didn't know, that's what how this
Speaker 3: was going to If he thought she was going to
Speaker 3: keep that mask on the whole flight home, like that
Speaker 3: doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't get it, so it just got a
Speaker 2: little convoluted at the end here. But anyway, yes, he
Speaker 2: threatens her come with him now or I'll harm her friends.
Speaker 2: So she goes with the villain, and then the principal
Speaker 2: announces the queen. It's Rosie and there she is in
Speaker 2: the crowd, unharmed. She removes her mask and smiles. Chelsea
Speaker 2: can't believe it. Meanwhile, as she's crowned the mask, Carter
Speaker 2: and Kane are moving through the school. Rosie addresses the
Speaker 2: student body as Ed films her. She says she's learned
Speaker 2: so much, most importantly true friendship, loyalty, and trust. She
Speaker 2: calls out for Carter to thank her, but she's nowhere
Speaker 2: to be found.
Speaker 1: She's been wissed off to a helicopter.
Speaker 2: Rosie leaves to find her, but Chelsea stops her near
Speaker 2: the pool. She wants that crown and will stop it
Speaker 2: nothing until she has it. Rosie goes to hand it over,
Speaker 2: but pulls it away at the last moment, leading Chelsea
Speaker 2: right into the pool. And now with that idiot out
Speaker 2: of the way, Rosie makes it to the helicopter just
Speaker 2: in time. She reveals the old Switcherrud to Caine. Carter's baffle.
Speaker 2: The plan was working, but Rosie notes that this is
Speaker 2: her fight, not Carter's, and with that, the actual princess
Speaker 2: walks off with the General to fly home, but as
Speaker 2: they go to hop in the helicopter, they're met by
Speaker 2: Major Mason and the director. He's busting him for kidnapping.
Speaker 2: He tries to escape, but Mason catches up with him
Speaker 2: and cuffs him. So the Dead and the Princess Protection
Speaker 2: Program have to be in on this somehow, somehow, right, right,
Speaker 2: But we never saw that part.
Speaker 3: No, it's never explained.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay.
Speaker 2: The girls embrace, and in the end, Carter has become
Speaker 2: the real princess. With that, Rosie hands over the crown,
Speaker 2: but someone has something to say about that. It's the
Speaker 2: completely drenched Chelsea. She snatches the crown and walks away.
Speaker 2: Carter lets her have it. She needs it more than
Speaker 2: they do. And I think you need more than just
Speaker 2: the crown to be the queen. I think he can't
Speaker 2: just grab it and be like, now I'm the Queen.
Speaker 2: I don't think it works that way.
Speaker 1: Now, Okay, So I.
Speaker 2: Didn't know if they were always in on Carter's plan,
Speaker 2: but Major Mason is furious with his daughter, so he
Speaker 2: wasn't obviously in on the plan. She knew she'd be
Speaker 2: the perfect bait because you know, she's a bait girl.
Speaker 1: That's what she says.
Speaker 2: She's lucky her dad was there to save her, but
Speaker 2: he always will do that. He rescues princesses. They hug
Speaker 2: and promise they'll always be a team. So I just
Speaker 2: it fell apart a little at the end.
Speaker 3: I didn't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was like, yeah, yeah, what what just unraveled?
Speaker 3: And then we're back at the castle.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're back, go back to the castle.
Speaker 3: Yeah, blah blah blah blah. And then we're like, oh,
Speaker 3: castle coronation day, what's calsation day?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So what's going on? Well, we're now back in Coastal Luna.
Speaker 2: Rosalinda is finally celebrating a big ceremony. It appears Major
Speaker 2: Mason might now be dating Rosalinda's mom, and Elegante proves
Speaker 2: he always had her back.
Speaker 1: I did seem like maybe there.
Speaker 2: Was something between the two of them. He was just
Speaker 2: part of Carter's plan and homies for life. Speaking of Carter,
Speaker 2: she's there with Ed as they start to chant long
Speaker 2: Live the Queen or long lived Queen Rosie.
Speaker 1: Now do you think Ed and Carter dating? I hope?
Speaker 2: So that's the That's the couple I want to see
Speaker 2: is Ed and Carter so I hope they're together. We
Speaker 2: get a big final Demi Levado song and a replay
Speaker 2: of the movie's highlights, which, again, you're a thousand percent right, Sabrina.
Speaker 2: Should absolutely have been clips of whole movie, clips of
Speaker 2: what he made for his documentary. That's because even I
Speaker 2: sat there and I was like, we just saw the movie.
Speaker 2: Why do I need to watch?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's such at Yes, and if it's not bloopers,
Speaker 3: which I'm always a fan of, if it's not bloopers,
Speaker 3: then it's got to be.
Speaker 1: It should have been a great idea.
Speaker 3: It should have been that.
Speaker 1: It's a great idea. Hundred percent.
Speaker 2: Couldn't agree with you anymore. It's a phenomenal ending to
Speaker 2: the movie. That's what it totally should have would have been. Okay,
Speaker 2: so when I rewrite.
Speaker 1: It, that's yes movie.
Speaker 3: Keep that in my mind.
Speaker 2: Yes, please so yes, And then as Rosalinda is showered
Speaker 2: with flower pedals, that is our film.
Speaker 1: Can we do some real reviews, Sabrina, Yes.
Speaker 3: I've got a long one today. Five stars named a
Speaker 3: really really nice story. I rate it ten thumbs up.
Speaker 1: Five stars.
Speaker 2: I love how it's I rate it ten thumbs up
Speaker 2: five stars. I have the one star, of course, and
Speaker 2: this is from James C. And not James C. But
Speaker 2: James C just a broken piece of media. All anyone
Speaker 2: should do to this film is drop a thousand bricks
Speaker 2: on it. Go watch die Hard, not this one star
Speaker 2: die Hard, die Hard.
Speaker 1: I again, two very different.
Speaker 3: Films, yes, like I don't understand.
Speaker 2: One's about a princess running around trying to figure out
Speaker 2: how to get their life back together, and the other
Speaker 2: one is the Princess Protection Program.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. That was my nod to uh
Speaker 1: John McLean.
Speaker 2: All right, we have Sabrina's favorite portion of the program
Speaker 2: right now. Our feature game. This one's gonna be called
Speaker 2: Demi or Selena or Phoebe yikes, Phoebe to celebrate the
Speaker 2: superhero like teaming of two of Disney's biggest stars. We
Speaker 2: will be given a quote and we have to decide
Speaker 2: who said it, Demi Levado, Selena Gomez or Phoebe Buffet
Speaker 2: from Friends.
Speaker 1: Okay, three out of five wins.
Speaker 2: Who are we playing with today? Yay, Michael, So we
Speaker 2: actually have a shot here we go?
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 2: Number one, I believe in second chances, but I don't
Speaker 2: believe in third or fourth chances. Is that Demi Levado,
Speaker 2: Selena Gomez or Phoebe Buffet from Friends.
Speaker 3: I will go with Selena Gomez.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Demi Levado.

Speaker 2: Damn so Demi hasn't said anything unless she's this last one,
Speaker 2: so you won I need this one now.
Speaker 1: Number five. If I decide I'm the girl to change
Speaker 1: the world, I can do at anytime.
Speaker 2: Demi Levado, let's hope you put in one. Hey, we
Speaker 2: both want to see what happens when Jensen isn't here.
Speaker 3: God, well, if he adds anything With Friends, I've definitely
Speaker 3: got a little bit more of a Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: Can we do a Sabriena ceas please?
Speaker 2: And I hope it's all about friends?
Speaker 3: Yes, it is on Friends last night a new episode
Speaker 3: draw love that I would die. Okay, so you mentioned
Speaker 3: it so quickly. At the end, Major Mason and her
Speaker 3: mom have a thing like did he kill the King?
Speaker 3: Like right from the beginning, I'm like did he get
Speaker 3: rid of the King?
Speaker 1: And Major Mason is like he's guy.
Speaker 3: The vibes between them at the at the very beginning
Speaker 3: and then at the end again like I'm like wow,
Speaker 3: like whoa, that was a lot.
Speaker 1: It's a pretty good looking guy, Major Mason.
Speaker 3: He is I could not place where I know him from.
Speaker 1: We know him from a thousand things.
Speaker 2: I wish I I wish I had told I wish
Speaker 2: I had said his name, which I should, but I'll
Speaker 2: find it.
Speaker 1: I'll find it right now.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll keep going. Okay, So I thought it was funny.
Speaker 3: I thought this would be mentioning too, how this transformation
Speaker 3: that she does. They should have had her as like
Speaker 3: a blonde or a redhead or something totally different, like
Speaker 3: short hair, and then put because there was not much
Speaker 3: of a transfer. I was like, oh my gosh, I
Speaker 3: feel like Hannah Montana's wigs better than go under in
Speaker 3: disguise in any sense, she literally looked exactly like what
Speaker 3: we had already seen her in.
Speaker 1: That was not the greatest Are you a Seinfeld fan?
Speaker 3: Not as much as like a like a demo?
Speaker 1: Okay, he was on Seinfeld. I'm trying to think what
Speaker 1: you'd know him from.
Speaker 3: There's something he plays a dad in something.
Speaker 2: Special Victims Unit. He did an episode of Special Victims Unit.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's been on everything.
Speaker 3: The guy he's so familiar.
Speaker 1: By the way, his name is Tom Verica.
Speaker 2: So if anybody should have said his name, because he
Speaker 2: has been in Did You How to Get Away with Murder?
Speaker 3: Oh, there you go, Okay, there you go. He was
Speaker 3: the husband in that There You Go? Here that show. Okay.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: She also went to the rushroom when she first got
Speaker 3: there to change. Then Carter says, it's upstairs, like into
Speaker 3: the right, she's upstairs, she's coming down. That's when she
Speaker 3: sees the lizard.
Speaker 1: And she did not change, Like, oh good, that was.
Speaker 3: A oopsie daisy. And then one of the lines that
Speaker 3: I felt was just like where are we going with
Speaker 3: this was my mother grew up a peasant and so
Speaker 3: she taught me many that's how she knows how to
Speaker 3: cook because her mom was a peasant.
Speaker 1: At that point, of course, my mom's a peasant, okay.
Speaker 3: And then this one kind of got me stuck cause
Speaker 3: I kept thinking of like cute little extra montages that
Speaker 3: they could have used with this documentary that he's doing
Speaker 3: or this class project or whatever it is that this
Speaker 3: guy's that that Ted is filming. I thought it could
Speaker 3: be done at the end, but I thought it would
Speaker 3: that would have been a great way to not take
Speaker 3: moments of the storyline, because I don't feel like we
Speaker 3: needed it in the movie, but to kind of finish
Speaker 3: out a little bit of their storyline, like as a couple,
Speaker 3: like Ted and Carter getting together, you know, and like
Speaker 3: the clips of how he thinks she's so great and
Speaker 3: then maybe he like set the camera up and you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, like them hanging out.
Speaker 1: It could have a lot of loose threads in this movie. Cute,
Speaker 1: a lot of loose threads.
Speaker 3: The loose threads. Though, I was wondering, like, I wonder
Speaker 3: if they wanted at this point, we're thinking that they
Speaker 3: were setting it up a little bit as an the
Speaker 3: ability need to have a sequel coming. Maybe maybe so
Speaker 3: that would have been something that I would have loved
Speaker 3: to have known, you know, back in the day with Disney,
Speaker 3: like was there like sort of talks of the hopes
Speaker 3: at least of doing a sequel. So they kind of
Speaker 3: left some things a.
Speaker 2: Little well, maybe we'll find out on our Park Copper episode. Yes,
Speaker 2: we can finally announce both Selena Gomez and Demi Levada
Speaker 2: will be joining us for the first That's.
Speaker 1: Not gonna happen. They're not They're not coming. They're not coming.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 3: Oh man, I would love it though, it'd be so
Speaker 3: great or.
Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen.
Speaker 3: Ever, No, dang it, but that's my last little Sabena seas.
Speaker 3: I really wish what I would have gotten a little
Speaker 3: bit of, like a little montage of our girl Carter
Speaker 3: and our boy Dad.
Speaker 1: Well, I say you your you're ed ted. It's all said.
Speaker 2: Your your ending is is way better, way better to
Speaker 2: show what he was filming, way better, one hundred percent. Right. Well,
Speaker 2: now it's the portion of our program where we actually
Speaker 2: you have to rate the film we just saw.
Speaker 1: H I know, no, no.
Speaker 2: All right, let's do one out of ten. Let's do
Speaker 2: one out of ten. I'm just figuring how we should
Speaker 2: do it. Let's do one out of ten. We're gonna
Speaker 2: make five the middle, so we'll do one lowest and
Speaker 2: ten highest.
Speaker 1: Yes, So here we go. Are options this week?
Speaker 2: We've got one out of ten nameless girls you drive
Speaker 2: to school, one at ten, royal reptile wranglers, one at ten, worms,
Speaker 2: matching flower crowns, taj Mahal bowling alleys, one out of ten,
Speaker 2: dcom curse words, one of the ten, angry Fedora guys,
Speaker 2: kings of yogurt, bus driver makeovers, eyes wide shut dances.
Speaker 2: Or I'm gonna add one out of ten princesses.
Speaker 1: What are you gonna pick, Sabrina.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, yes, oh yeah, I think if member
Speaker 2: serves you go first this time.
Speaker 3: I do all right. So as excited as I was,
Speaker 3: I loved this movie. I thought it was like there
Speaker 3: were definitely holes I see, especially now that once we
Speaker 3: go through it, you were able to really sort out
Speaker 3: that rewrite. I would have loved to see that movie. However,
Speaker 3: these two girls, I would go see any movie. I
Speaker 3: hope to God they work again together, because they are
Speaker 3: fire on camera together. They just you can tell the
Speaker 3: love that they had for each other. They were so
Speaker 3: excited to at least just get a chance to work together,
Speaker 3: Like you could just tell this was like a great environment,
Speaker 3: or at least it seemed like it for them to
Speaker 3: be filming and doing a movie together. I thought their
Speaker 3: chemistry was great. I feel like the two of them
Speaker 3: could really convince me in any characters they threw at
Speaker 3: them right, loved them. I loved some of the movie.
Speaker 3: These songs that we got. I obviously that was such
Speaker 3: an easy one to jump out at you with Selena
Speaker 3: and Go and Demi together. I kind of want to
Speaker 3: go rewatch it again to see where Mitchell's song is
Speaker 3: because I didn't hear it at all. That one did
Speaker 3: not jump out at me whatsoever. But I liked this movie.
Speaker 3: It was an easy watch. And although there are some
Speaker 3: critiques in us just being super nippicky, because hey, you
Speaker 3: know what, I doubt anyone of these people that are
Speaker 3: listening to this podcast actually goes and watches every single Seriously,
Speaker 3: we have done our time. We get to be super
Speaker 3: nippicky because we've literally watched them all. But even still,
Speaker 3: I really liked it. I am giving this a solid eight.
Speaker 2: Princess yay, Oh, I just want to I want to
Speaker 2: hear you swear all the time.
Speaker 1: You know what.
Speaker 2: I don't disagree with anything that you said. It is
Speaker 2: an easy watch. It's ninety minutes long. They the two
Speaker 2: of them together, there are they're stars. There's a reason
Speaker 2: why the world literally fell in love with both of
Speaker 2: these girls. Now women who have sold albums and are
Speaker 2: on television shows and doing this and doing that anything.
Speaker 2: They yes, and it's because they're really good at it
Speaker 2: and they're very talented, and and yes, you're right.
Speaker 1: Our job is to nitpick.
Speaker 2: We watch Disney Channel original movies and we point out.
Speaker 1: Flaws, we point out the good part. It's what we do.
Speaker 2: It's our job. So yes, there are holes in this movie.
Speaker 2: You could drive a truck through and for a lot
Speaker 2: of it, I just didn't care. They are They're They're great,
Speaker 2: they and so I'm a little below you, but not
Speaker 2: too much.
Speaker 1: I'm giving this the solid seven princesses. It is.
Speaker 2: You know, does this have the same kind of gravitas
Speaker 2: as a script as something like Color of Friendship or
Speaker 2: Going to the Mat No. Does it have some of
Speaker 2: the best Disney actors we've seen that really command the
Speaker 2: screen absolutely, and that there's a re they are who
Speaker 2: they are, And so this was would love to and
Speaker 2: I don't think I'll ever say this again about any movie.
Speaker 1: Would love to have gone more Disney with this movie.
Speaker 2: They could have really gone Disney princess with her and
Speaker 2: made it a kind of a mythical land, which I
Speaker 2: think would have added to the comedy and would have
Speaker 2: made the drama pop more. But it was enjoyable. I
Speaker 2: didn't care about it that much. That's just my writer brain.
Speaker 2: So yes, a solid seven princesses for this movie.
Speaker 1: It is. It is fun.
Speaker 2: Our next movie, let's see where we're gonna get to
Speaker 2: swear in this one?
Speaker 1: Finally scratches an itch. Oh, I never liked that sentence.
Speaker 1: That I've had since we started this podcast.
Speaker 2: Right by the way, if i've we've been on the
Speaker 2: podcast for almost three years now, if I had a
Speaker 2: niche for three years, that's when you call somebody. We'll
Speaker 2: be looking at two thousand and Two's A Ring of
Speaker 2: Endless Light, which is, believe it or not, our first
Speaker 2: dolphin d coom.
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about this movie.
Speaker 2: I hope that means that it it's about dolphins, not
Speaker 2: that it's stars one because I only speak one language
Speaker 2: and it's not dolphins, so that's gonna be interesting. But
Speaker 2: you can watch it right now on Disney Plus just
Speaker 2: to make sure you are ready when it drops. And
