Speaker 1: Sabrina, are you an ocean fan?
Speaker 2: No? No, no, and I you all make your TL
Speaker 2: just the way you know.
Speaker 1: No, no, it's stolen something from you.
Speaker 2: I have zero trust in the ocean. I don't know
Speaker 2: what's down there. And I love mermaids like the mermaids are.
Speaker 2: But I like mermaids like with the idea of like
Speaker 2: them being in my pool versus like the ocean.
Speaker 1: Because do you have mermaids in your pool?
Speaker 2: I mean I want little I did when I was little,
Speaker 2: I played mermaid all the time.
Speaker 1: But so you were the mermaid, Yes, okay, and that
Speaker 1: makes sense.
Speaker 2: Like for instance, I've done snuba diving, and I thought
Speaker 2: that was going to be the end of my relationship
Speaker 2: with Jordan because he kind of forced me to go
Speaker 2: when I told him, I'm scared of the ocean. I
Speaker 2: don't like sharks. I don't know what's down there.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I gotta stop you did you did you
Speaker 3: say snuba diving?
Speaker 2: Snuba so not scuba. It's a step and I now
Speaker 2: would highly recommend it because I had it. You don't
Speaker 2: go as far down. Your tank is up on like
Speaker 2: a like a floated air base, like so that you
Speaker 2: follow it up to the tank like your cord. It
Speaker 2: felt a lot more safe than what I would assume
Speaker 2: scuba when you're just out there and it's.
Speaker 1: Like, hey, if you come back right if not, so
Speaker 1: you can be the bait on the end of a hook.
Speaker 1: Then you did. Being able to go out into the ocean,
Speaker 1: I could look up.
Speaker 2: And see, I feel like scuba diving, you go so
Speaker 2: far down, can you even see the top of where
Speaker 2: you're gonna be eventually?
Speaker 3: Like and I ask what the acronym snuba stands for.
Speaker 2: Uh? No, I have no idea.
Speaker 1: No you can't.
Speaker 4: No, you can't.
Speaker 2: So you have to You don't have to have any
Speaker 2: like zero training. You have a you have a guide
Speaker 2: that goes down there with you and they set you up.
Speaker 2: You get weighted down and you.
Speaker 3: Know, I mean, I have nexus underwater breathing apparatus.
Speaker 1: That sounds like a big swing and a miss for me.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I'm just telling you, I was so nervous just
Speaker 2: going down once I you know what is it? Uh
Speaker 2: equalized my ears and all that, and I was all
Speaker 2: I was good. It was incredible and it may at
Speaker 2: one in the Caribbean. And I was told no sharks
Speaker 2: inhibit that area. But it's like the oh, I'm so
Speaker 2: scared of sharks, Like I would never do a shark
Speaker 2: dive thing in a cage. I watched Shark Week. Everything
Speaker 2: they do seems like just the kiss of death. So
Speaker 2: I am not an ocean person at all. I like pools.
Speaker 1: Okay, are you do you go into the ocean? No?
Speaker 1: I don't go to the ocean.
Speaker 3: But that's because it usually involves taking off my shirt,
Speaker 3: which I never do anyway, So okay, yeah, I'm usually.
Speaker 2: You wouldn't go to the pool, So you're just like
Speaker 2: not going to.
Speaker 3: The pool by myself at like three o'clock in the
Speaker 3: morning when nobody's around.
Speaker 1: Then I go. Then I enjoy myself.
Speaker 4: That's that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the ocean terrifies and I don't I have done
Speaker 2: and this is about ours. I have swam with dolphins
Speaker 2: and again looked at Jordan, like, how do you talk
Speaker 2: me into doing these things where I end up being out?
Speaker 2: You have to like Superman, the water, flex your feet,
Speaker 2: the dolphins come up behind your feet. Amazing to the water.
Speaker 2: I was in Cosamel and the water it was like
Speaker 2: kind of an overcast day, so like it looks like
Speaker 2: where they had us. We weren't in a pool like
Speaker 2: I was told i'd be in. It looks we're out
Speaker 2: in the ocean and it looks like it's blocked off.
Speaker 2: But then they tell me to swim out into the
Speaker 2: middle of this dark ocean because it's like overcast, and
Speaker 2: just spread my arms. I'm on my stomach, spread my arms,
Speaker 2: pull my feet up, flex my feet, and the dolphins
Speaker 2: will come. Once they hit, like, once they push against
Speaker 2: my feet, I lift my chest. I'm looking at these
Speaker 2: people like.
Speaker 1: Mine. That's so scary.
Speaker 2: And they're like, well, come meet the dolphins next before
Speaker 2: you do that, and I'm like, yeah, that'd be great,
Speaker 2: Like let's get a little bit, let's get a little
Speaker 2: chemistry going to.
Speaker 1: So wonderful.
Speaker 2: And they're so sweet. Their eyes are just like yeah,
Speaker 2: they they do look like people like and they feel
Speaker 2: they're so sweet. These animals are amazing. However, that will
Speaker 2: be the last time. If it's not. If it was
Speaker 2: in a pool, I would have trusted it more. I
Speaker 2: just the oh shit freaks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, apparently, wow, I don't I don't like I don't
Speaker 3: like sharks either, but for a totally different reason.
Speaker 2: So what's your reason.
Speaker 3: I was bullied in high school by a shark. He
Speaker 3: used to take my lunch money every day. It was
Speaker 3: really annoying and I just never really got over it.
Speaker 2: So is this a reference I should understand? Was this
Speaker 2: was this some boy meets World?
Speaker 1: No? No, I just we I had a shark in
Speaker 1: my high school. Pete Nobody, Petey shark. Yeah, used to
Speaker 1: take my lunch money every day. Anyway, Welcome back to
Speaker 1: Magical Rewind, the show that.
Speaker 3: Makes you want to grab your friends, your pj's, and
Speaker 3: your popcorn and go back to a time when all
Speaker 3: the houses are smart.
Speaker 1: The waves, tsunami and Snooba wasn't.
Speaker 3: A thing that's gonna stick with me. But anyway, I'm Wilfordell.
Speaker 2: It's real, and I'm Sabrina.
Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you I'm going spor but later
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun. Uh. This week we are diving
Speaker 1: deeper than ever before. In case you can't tell with
Speaker 1: a brand new dcom that somehow involved romance and tell,
Speaker 1: I can say it out loud and tell it pathically
Speaker 1: speaking to dolphins.
Speaker 3: It's the romantic underwater drama of two thousand and two,
Speaker 3: A Ring of Endless Light.
Speaker 1: This should have been called the movie not made for will.
Speaker 3: It debuted on the Disney Channel August twenty third, two
Speaker 3: thousand and two, and is based on a nineteen eighty
Speaker 3: Madeline el Angle book of the same name.
Speaker 1: And I mean, let's get this out of the way
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 3: The title is a phrase first seen in the seventeenth
Speaker 3: century poem The World by Henry Vaughan.
Speaker 1: But we all knew that obviously. Also. Fans of the
Speaker 1: original el Angle book, the fourth.
Speaker 3: Novel about Vicki and her family from a series that
Speaker 3: began in nineteen sixty, hated the movie because it veered
Speaker 3: drastically from details of the original story. So examples, the
Speaker 3: book predominantly included Vicky's parents, which were notably absent for
Speaker 3: most of the film. Same with an older brother she
Speaker 3: had in the book, John, He's just not in the
Speaker 3: movie at all. Her grandfather is honest about his sickness
Speaker 3: right from the beginning, which would seem like the biggest deviation,
Speaker 3: but it's actually not. The book's relationship with death is
Speaker 3: vastly different, because every.
Speaker 1: Kid's book loves death.
Speaker 3: In the book, a family friend has just died while
Speaker 3: trying to save the life of Zachary, who's in a
Speaker 3: lot more turmoil than the film depicts. A marine biologist
Speaker 3: is nearly killed in an accident, a sick girl suffers
Speaker 3: a seizure and dies in Vicki's arms, and the entire
Speaker 3: net storyline is absence. So it sounds like the book
Speaker 3: was really funny, and ironically it was scratch.
Speaker 2: And sniff like, that's a children's.
Speaker 1: Book, apparently young adult. I would say it's probably a.
Speaker 2: Whyae okay, yes, young like what like.
Speaker 1: Twelve thirteen, Yeah, twelve thirteen, because the original title of
Speaker 1: the book was Death and Dolphins and it just didn't
Speaker 1: sell as well.
Speaker 3: Right, I'm going to have you believe that's true by
Speaker 3: the end. So maybe it's safe to say this movie
Speaker 3: is nothing like the book. But that's what you get
Speaker 3: when you're thrown into the Disney machine.
Speaker 1: Baby.
Speaker 3: The movie is filmed where all beach based dcoms tend
Speaker 3: to shoot Australia, where all the comedy just goes in
Speaker 3: the other direction, much like fans of the book. The
Speaker 3: movie was not a it with critics and viewers. They
Speaker 3: found it to be too light for the source material,
Speaker 3: taking notations of death and folding it into quote gidget
Speaker 3: meets Flipper unquote and musically Endless Light features a song
Speaker 3: from a popular band of the time, switch Foot, So
Speaker 3: there's that. As expected, You two can watch A Ring
Speaker 3: of Endless Light. No wetsuit needed, just a subscription at
Speaker 3: Disney Plus, which is currently available to stream. You get
Speaker 3: to choose do you watch it before or after listening
Speaker 3: to us?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 3: Sabrina and I usually watch it after we've done our episode,
Speaker 3: so we don't feel obliged.
Speaker 1: To get anything right. We just guess what happens, and
Speaker 1: usually we're just very very lucky. Weigh it. Yeah, what
Speaker 1: the hell?
Speaker 3: Okay, So did you know anything about A Ring of
Speaker 3: Endless Light before?
Speaker 2: I didn't, And honestly, I felt like I was clueless
Speaker 2: to any of it while watching the first what as
Speaker 2: far as having anything to do with any kind of
Speaker 2: ring of light of whatsoever? I was so confused.
Speaker 3: Yeah, about the title, yeah, I think that's more supposed
Speaker 3: to be the you know, it's a uh it's symbolism.
Speaker 1: Yes, you can ask me. Do you need to ask me?
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm besides you talking about it almost every
Speaker 2: episode time this.
Speaker 1: Movie this week. No, I've never seen this.
Speaker 3: It should have been called Nicholas Sparks The Ring of
Speaker 3: Endless light.
Speaker 1: By the way, all right, so.
Speaker 3: Let's roll out the drift net. It's time to reel
Speaker 3: in the synopsis. Teenager Vicky Austin spends a transformative summer
Speaker 3: on a small island with her grandpa.
Speaker 1: For I'm we'll get into that.
Speaker 3: She falls for a boy who studies dolphins communication, and
Speaker 3: she faces illness, loss, and another local love interest. Vicky
Speaker 3: learns that connection, compassion, and courage can illuminate even the
Speaker 3: darkest of times. Also, she can communicate with dolphins.
Speaker 1: Such a great synopsis just at the end. Also she
Speaker 1: can commune. Also she's a wizard.
Speaker 2: By the way, tidbit, Yes.
Speaker 1: She could communicate with dolphins. So what were your overall
Speaker 1: thoughts on A Ring of Endless Light?
Speaker 2: You know, it went and down for me throughout the
Speaker 2: whole movie parts of it. I was like, okay, I'm
Speaker 2: in it. At the very beginning, for some reason, the
Speaker 2: set of where they were seemed like I was on
Speaker 2: Tom Sawyer's island, like a little bit too Disney for me,
Speaker 2: Like the the ship carts or whatever, those like crates
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. Kind of like, okay, you know,
Speaker 2: the casts from the beginning as far as it being
Speaker 2: a young you know, very well known cast. I felt like, Okay,
Speaker 2: then it kind of I got bored sometimes, I think
Speaker 2: is the thing. I got a little bored in a
Speaker 2: few moments, and then the end ripped me apart and
Speaker 2: made me not even want to finish the last ten minutes, oh,
Speaker 2: the last six minutes. Yeah, it ripped me apart.
Speaker 1: I you didn't see it coming. I did, but I did.
Speaker 2: Not believe they were gonna do that to me.
Speaker 1: They I did not.
Speaker 2: Believe it, and especially the way it happened. I'm like,
Speaker 2: if I'm coming to Disney Channel, I'm not looking for
Speaker 2: that stuff. Okay. That means I'm in a vulnerable place
Speaker 2: where I can I handle.
Speaker 5: That.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, this to me don't walk. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: so okay. My early thoughts are this, Yes, early thoughts, Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I'm either going to become a marine biologist or I
Speaker 3: now hate dolphins.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what.
Speaker 3: This movie was about. The tone was weird, and then
Speaker 3: it hit me halfway through.
Speaker 1: So you know, those like Shaley Woodley's dying and has
Speaker 1: an oxygen tank and can only be five feet apart
Speaker 1: from whoever she's supposed to be with, and there's those
Speaker 1: kind of movies.
Speaker 3: That's what this was slightly disnified. Okay, the Fault in
Speaker 3: Our Stars, thank you Lisa.
Speaker 6: Oh sid Wow, that was like this seems.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're also oh there's also five feet apart with
Speaker 3: other people.
Speaker 1: Okay, so those.
Speaker 3: Kind of movies where it's like, it's a love story,
Speaker 3: but they're also it's a love story where everybody's got
Speaker 3: some kind of horrible disease or something and people are
Speaker 3: gonna die. And so I can see like, and I'm
Speaker 3: not trying to gender anybody, but I can see like
Speaker 3: teenage girls loving what they're watching, and then the teenage
Speaker 3: boys who brought them on the date sitting in the
Speaker 3: movie theater going like, this is the worst thing I've
Speaker 3: ever seen in my life.
Speaker 2: I can't believe I paid for that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's but but they put a smile on
Speaker 1: because they're like hoping to get a kiss over the popcorn.
Speaker 3: That is kind of what I felt with this movie.
Speaker 3: It seemed like this was that vibe of like the
Speaker 3: Fault Inner Stars, where the fact that she could talk
Speaker 3: to dolphins basically had nothing.
Speaker 1: To do with this movie.
Speaker 3: It was kind of just about this love story between
Speaker 3: the two her and two guys who she's trying to
Speaker 3: weirdly pick, and then a grandfather who understands her, and
Speaker 3: a family dynamic and then.
Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, there's dolphins. That's like kind
Speaker 1: of what it seemed like. So I don't know, is
Speaker 1: the answer to your question of I don't know what
Speaker 1: I felt about this movie. Like you said, the cast great, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the look of it looked really weird.
Speaker 3: It looked like a low budget movie shot in Australia,
Speaker 3: which I know that sounds like a terrible thing. But
Speaker 3: I even texted producer Jensen at one point and I
Speaker 3: was like, at least in the first twenty minutes, did
Speaker 3: they dub almost everybody's performance like it.
Speaker 2: Seemed it seemed like that.
Speaker 1: Yes, it was.
Speaker 2: Distracting a little bit.
Speaker 1: Yes, I was like, are are the what's going on?
Speaker 1: Why did some of the mouthfulaps don't match?
Speaker 2: And I imagine, I mean, I don't know why they
Speaker 2: wouldn't match, but I imagine the dubbing was because they
Speaker 2: were like on a shoreline like where it.
Speaker 1: Was probably maybe, but then they're doing weird. But that
Speaker 1: was another thing. We'll get into the breakdown.
Speaker 3: But you know, they're like cutting to them on a
Speaker 3: boat in the beginning, and then they're doing close ups
Speaker 3: where nobody's hair is blowing and they're just blue sky
Speaker 3: behind them, and then they're cutting to the boat where
Speaker 3: their hair is whipping all over, and then again just
Speaker 3: by themselves. It looked almost soap opery like it was
Speaker 3: just it didn't look good for a lot of it.
Speaker 1: The CG I was terrible. Okay, there we go.
Speaker 3: This movie, like the Nicholas Sparks movie called The Last
Speaker 3: Song with Miley Cyrus, very similar, except with turtles and
Speaker 3: instead of a grandpa was her dad.
Speaker 1: Okay, so yes. It had that vibe where it's just this.
Speaker 3: It was very slow, it was very sackering, new music
Speaker 3: playing in the background as she's deciding which one of
Speaker 3: these boys to fall for. It was that kind of thing.
Speaker 3: So yes, I don't know what I think about it,
Speaker 3: but well let's get into it now. A name we
Speaker 3: are familiar with directed this movie, Greg Beeman. He was
Speaker 3: a magical World of Disney guy directing The Richest Cat
Speaker 3: in the World, which we still have to see because
Speaker 3: oh my god, I love that title, and Little Spies,
Speaker 3: which again I have a lot of questions about that
Speaker 3: title as well, then ventured into a teen comedy with
Speaker 3: the nineteen eighty eighth Licensed to Drive with Corey Feldman
Speaker 3: and Corey Haim. I think that's the one where Feldman
Speaker 3: does his famous dance on the bleachers.
Speaker 1: I believe that's Licensed to Drive.
Speaker 3: But it's his experience with other dcoms that should really
Speaker 3: catch our attention. How about Miracle on Lane two, one
Speaker 3: of our favorites, Horse Sense, which we loved, which everyone
Speaker 3: liked better than me but was still really good and
Speaker 3: the first d com ever made under wraps. Wow, So
Speaker 3: I would not see I wouldn't be shocked. I don't
Speaker 3: think you would be either to see him nominated for
Speaker 3: Best Director when we eventually put together our magical rewind Awards.
Speaker 2: Absolutely which tatily.
Speaker 1: Calling the Rewindees. Do we like that? Are we still working?
Speaker 2: We'll put that on the list.
Speaker 3: We'll figure it out. We'll figure it out, story h
Speaker 3: and everywhere. Every winner of a Rewindee gets a free,
Speaker 3: fully paid trip to try Snuba wherever Snuba is done,
Speaker 3: along with.
Speaker 2: A free subscription to iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1: To iHeart Radio and the Rewindes magazine. It stars Mischa
Speaker 1: Barton as the main character. Vicky Austen.
Speaker 3: Barton was a child actor in movies like The Sixth
Speaker 3: Sense and Nodding Hill I See Mesha Barton, But it
Speaker 3: wasn't until she was cast as Marissa Cooper on the
Speaker 3: two thousands y A drama The o C that she
Speaker 3: became a bit of a household name. She would have
Speaker 3: an unceremonious split with the show killing her off abruptly,
Speaker 3: and since then her career has been in a bit
Speaker 3: of a roller coaster, both in and out of the tabloids.
Speaker 3: Her most recent job in the US was a cast
Speaker 3: member on the quasi reality show reboot of MTV's The
Speaker 3: Hills in twenty nineteen and Other than The Letters MTV
Speaker 3: in twenty nineteen, I didn't understand anything.
Speaker 2: I just O this show. It made me forget that
Speaker 2: she was an actress. It made me think that she
Speaker 2: was originally on the MTV reality show Laguna Beach, which
Speaker 2: is like what the spinoff is from instead.
Speaker 1: Of but are they acting or is it no?
Speaker 2: Laguna Beach is a reality show that was like one
Speaker 2: of the first kind of ones that came out, especially
Speaker 2: for the second kids.
Speaker 3: Isn't the guy that's now on Traders. Wasn't he on
Speaker 3: Laguna Beach and he's an actor because he was on
Speaker 3: One Tree Hill.
Speaker 2: I don't know, Steve.
Speaker 1: Stephen something Spencer. Oh he became an actor after?
Speaker 2: Oh god, Okay, yeah, yes, so he was on Yes,
Speaker 2: he was on Laguna Beach. The O was like the
Speaker 2: scripted version of Laguna Beach. Like they were all, you know,
Speaker 2: having parties and caddy fights and blah blah blah, and
Speaker 2: the drama was big, but like, yeah, so it was
Speaker 2: on at the same time. It was on at the
Speaker 2: same time. Laguna Beach was the reality show. The OC
Speaker 2: was actually a scripted show, and me show was the
Speaker 2: star of that, but then went on to the reality
Speaker 2: sub thing after and it made me forget that she
Speaker 2: was actually on the scripted show and she's actually an actress.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeahs so confusing. It's keep reality reality and scripted scripted.
Speaker 3: Don't cross the two because then it's hard enough watching
Speaker 3: TV people. And then, of course we have a decom
Speaker 3: regular Ryan Merriman as Adam Eddington. It should be at
Speaker 3: least acknowledged that for this movie. His name is a
Speaker 3: lot like Murrman, Merriman, Murhrimant. It's the Ocean movie never
Speaker 3: Mind I'll Show Myself Out. Merriman began his career on
Speaker 3: a sitcom called The Mommy's which is often referenced on
Speaker 3: Podmeats World because The Mommis had writer's older brother. Shiloh
Speaker 3: is one of the stars himself all over the Disney
Speaker 3: Channel in d COM's Smart House, The Luck of the Irish.
Speaker 3: She also appeared in some very popular horror movies, Halloween
Speaker 3: Resurrection Final Destination three. That's the one where the guy
Speaker 3: gets the whole car engine to the back of the
Speaker 3: head and the drive through cool and the ring too.
Speaker 1: This time it's personal. Jared Padalki plays Zachary Gray.
Speaker 3: Padilecki is best known as Dean Forrester on Gilmour Girls
Speaker 3: and Sam Winchester on Supernatural to great Names by the way,
Speaker 3: He too starred in horror movies like House of Wax
Speaker 3: and one of those forgettable Friday the Thirteenth three Boots.
Speaker 3: I think it was called Friday the Sixteenth with Nobody
Speaker 3: cared about just a regular day. Scarlett Palmers is Susie Austin.
Speaker 3: Palmers was busy when she filmed this movie. She was
Speaker 3: playing Kira Hart on the long running TV show Riba
Speaker 3: and had already been on sixteen episodes.
Speaker 1: Of Star Trek Voyage are so cool.
Speaker 3: She was also in the movie Aaron Brockovich, but I
Speaker 3: don't think she played Aaron Brockovich.
Speaker 1: I believe that was Jose she did. Yeah, I could
Speaker 1: be wrong, so I'm pretty sure. Yea. And though I'm
Speaker 1: not ready to put him in the Dabney Reynolds chair,
Speaker 1: I love seeing James Whitmore as the grandfather. Now, not
Speaker 1: to be confused, he did not make up the Whitman
Speaker 1: sampler of chocolates. That's a different guy.
Speaker 3: This is James Whitmore, who was a legendary character actor
Speaker 3: whose career dates all the way back to working alongside.
Speaker 1: Clark Gable and Nancy Reagan.
Speaker 3: He also was in the cult classic movie Them exclamation Point,
Speaker 3: but is most recognizable as the fragile prisoner turned parole
Speaker 3: Brooks in The Shawshank Redemption. Oh and it's just Shawshank Redemption,
Speaker 3: I added the which I shouldn't. He also won an
Speaker 3: Emmy for a guest star role on The Practice. Fun
Speaker 3: fact about Whitmore, At one time he was married to
Speaker 3: the actress who played Missus Roper.
Speaker 1: Yes, do you know who that is missus Roper. Oh
Speaker 1: so sad and my heart just died a little bit
Speaker 1: more Oh threes company.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, okay, sorry, okay, come on now, I know
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 1: Coming do Sorry, We'll be waiting for you. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just like with a cheetah girl.
Speaker 3: Whitmore died in two thousand and nine at the age
Speaker 3: of eighty seven. But you're so that's the cast. That's
Speaker 3: you know, an important thing in the story and where
Speaker 3: it's shot.
Speaker 1: Now, but how long is this movie? People? That's all
Speaker 1: we really care about.
Speaker 3: It's the eye of the storm, the filet of the mignon,
Speaker 3: the end of the Tipsy Pop.
Speaker 1: As you know, we always set the target at ninety minutes.
Speaker 3: And keep in mind, this movie already has the word
Speaker 3: endless in the title. I'm worried, and so this movie.
Speaker 1: Is eighty eight minutes too, off the target, but on
Speaker 1: the right side of history. So we can all sleep
Speaker 1: at night knowing that someone out there at least got
Speaker 1: that right. And I hate to say this, but it
Speaker 1: felt like a very long eighty eight minutes. Am I wrong?
Speaker 1: It was just no, it dragged.
Speaker 2: There is moments for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's talk about the writers. We have the book's
Speaker 3: author Madeline and Angle. That's the l Lula Angle with
Speaker 3: their standard credit, but the teleplay credit went to Bruce Graham,
Speaker 3: someone we just book about in the podcast, since he
Speaker 3: wrote a favorite of ours right on track. He also
Speaker 3: wrote the DCOM Tiger Cruz, the animated movie Yet I
Speaker 3: haven't seen anything, the animated movie Anastasia, and the monkey
Speaker 3: centric hotel film.
Speaker 1: Dunstan checks in and Graham shares credit with Marita Giovanni.
Speaker 1: And here it is again a DCOM constant. This is
Speaker 1: the co writer's only real writing credit.
Speaker 3: Okay, so let's not waste no more time focus because
Speaker 3: the dolphins are telepathically letting you know it's time to
Speaker 3: recap a ring of endless light. Well, it should come
Speaker 3: as no surprise that this film starts underwater. A young girl, Vicky,
Speaker 3: is swimming in the ocean. She's a mermaid, most likely
Speaker 3: in her thirteenth year. She effortlessly flips as fish pass by.
Speaker 3: Then she sees a large net and swims right into
Speaker 3: it to investigate, and quickly she finds herself stuck. She
Speaker 3: tries to wiggle out but can't. She's trapped and panicking,
Speaker 3: and then she wakes up on a ferry. She has
Speaker 3: human legs and a knit hat. Was just a nightmare.
Speaker 3: Her little brother Rob is there with a jar of
Speaker 3: new bugs.
Speaker 1: He's proud of.
Speaker 3: Vicky rushes downstairs to ask another girl, her little sister,
Speaker 3: overachiever Susie, if they've arrived yet. Not yet, but they're close. Also,
Speaker 3: I thought that was kind of weird.
Speaker 1: Are we there yet? Well, we're still on the boat,
Speaker 1: don't you think if we're on the.
Speaker 2: Land, will were there? Bh?
Speaker 3: We Doki, thank you so much, there, Vicky. Vicky is
Speaker 3: so excited to stay with their grandfather again. The ferry
Speaker 3: arrives at seven Bay Island and an old man rushes
Speaker 3: out his red VW bug that has an umbrella as
Speaker 3: a roof. He welcomes the siblings as they pull into
Speaker 3: the dock. And this is clearly their grandfather. And you
Speaker 3: can tell because weirdly, throughout the entire movie they only
Speaker 3: call him grandfather, not grandpa, not poppy, grandfather, grandfather, what
Speaker 3: should we be doing today?
Speaker 1: Grandfather? I can talk to dolphins. Grandfather.
Speaker 3: It's like, it was weird. After a while, nobody just
Speaker 3: gets hello, grandfather.
Speaker 2: It was weird anyway, Well, maybe their other grandpa was
Speaker 2: their Grandpa.
Speaker 1: Okay, then come up with a different name. Who calls it?
Speaker 3: It's like calling your mother Hello, mother, Yes, grandfather, what
Speaker 3: can I do for you? The butter is fully churned?
Speaker 3: Grandfather you no, no, Kayla? Do you do that?
Speaker 1: Yes, grandfather? No one does.
Speaker 3: No one does outside of eighteen forty, no one calls
Speaker 3: them grandfather.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 1: Anyway.
Speaker 3: Susie returns his telescope, and Rob wants to know where
Speaker 3: mister Rochester and ned r who we turn you know
Speaker 3: to find out are his dog and cat. Vicky takes
Speaker 3: a long look back at the ocean. She's daydreaming again. Eventually,
Speaker 3: her grandfather, yes, grandfather, hushes her into a car, thrilled
Speaker 3: to have her visiting, and thank God for that umbrella
Speaker 3: because as they pull into the waterfront home it is pouring.
Speaker 3: Once inside, Vicky wants to know if anyone's called, specifically
Speaker 3: Zachary Gray, some boy that she likes. Vicky calls home
Speaker 3: to check in, but is annoyed by her mother's line
Speaker 3: of questioning. She explains she hasn't had time, but promises
Speaker 3: she'll complete whatever she's being pastured about. Once off the
Speaker 3: phone and now depress, Vicki walks off and pouts near
Speaker 3: the rain. A lot of just single shots of Vicky
Speaker 3: in this movie doing stuff looking out. Her grandfather notices
Speaker 3: but doesn't say anything. Yes, grandfather, I'm going to look
Speaker 3: at the rain.
Speaker 1: That night.
Speaker 3: Everyone is asleep but Vicky. She's reading a physics textbook
Speaker 3: like all the cool kids do during vacation. Her grandfather
Speaker 3: walks in. The storm has passed and he wants to
Speaker 3: set up the telescope. He notices her odd choice of reading,
Speaker 3: and she explained she promised her parents that she'd studied
Speaker 3: for an enrollment test. They want her to transfer to
Speaker 3: an exceptional school at the university they work at, and
Speaker 3: she's still having trouble with the math and science part.
Speaker 3: Her grandpa guides her downstairs for a present. He gives
Speaker 3: her the collected Poems of Victoria Austin, Volume one.
Speaker 1: It's all the.
Speaker 3: Poems she's given him over the years, now glued into
Speaker 3: a bound book. He loves her writing and wanted everything
Speaker 3: to be in one place. He wonders if anyone has
Speaker 3: seen her work besides him, but she's kept it all
Speaker 3: to herself. Her grandfather swears she's brilliant as she hugs
Speaker 3: him for the kind words he Winces is in pain.
Speaker 3: He blames his back, but also is out of breath.
Speaker 3: He wishes her a good night and goes to bed,
Speaker 3: looking forward to volume two. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: this guy's not gonna make it, And I was right.
Speaker 1: He retreats upstairs and dies. I'm kidding.
Speaker 3: He rushes to his bedstand and takes some pills. But
Speaker 3: I was like, this again, he's he might as well.
Speaker 1: Have been wearing a Red Star Trek shirt the entire
Speaker 1: time this guy was dead.
Speaker 2: He come on, oh, I know, I know, I know,
Speaker 2: and it just just missed me off.
Speaker 3: Like, did you that the old man that they set
Speaker 3: up was dying the whole time actually dies spoiler alert everyone.
Speaker 2: Well, yes, no, I thought it would be like at
Speaker 2: the end of the movie, like whenever, you know, like
Speaker 2: the at the end they were gonna be at like
Speaker 2: his funeral, not the way they did it.
Speaker 4: That way to milk that ooh much.
Speaker 1: Yes, they needed to milk it. We'll get into it.
Speaker 3: The next morning, while cleaning their grandfather's house, the girls
Speaker 3: notice a dreamy boy biking up their driveway, shirt flap
Speaker 3: it in the breeze.
Speaker 1: He introduces himself as Adam.
Speaker 3: He's there to return some philosophy books, so we know
Speaker 3: he is a thinker this one and knows all.
Speaker 1: About the grandkids.
Speaker 3: Susie talks to me about astrophysics and how she's gearing
Speaker 3: to apply to MIT for early admittance. He's already been
Speaker 3: admitted to Harvard name dropper for marine biology and works
Speaker 3: with dolphins at the nearby Marine Center. Vicki chimes in
Speaker 3: she loves dolphins, but she's never met one or anything,
Speaker 3: and so he invites the girls to accompany him to
Speaker 3: the center, which sounds like a great place to start
Speaker 3: a cult.
Speaker 1: He's on his way now, it's like we're going to
Speaker 1: the center.
Speaker 3: They all jump on bikes and leave with the hot,
Speaker 3: smart dolphin guy, and on the way, a convertible Porsche
Speaker 3: pulls up right next to them. Susie seems annoyed by
Speaker 3: the driver. This is Zachary Gray mentioned earlier. They had
Speaker 3: a thing last summer, but he never returned any of
Speaker 3: her letters during the school year. He seems like a
Speaker 3: real well as they would say. He invites Vicky to
Speaker 3: ride in his car, but she says no and speeds off.
Speaker 3: She has an appointment with a dolphin now on a
Speaker 3: doc Adam is throwing fish into the water feeding dolphins.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to ask you this next question that
Speaker 3: we have set up because we already know that dolphins
Speaker 3: are your favorite and you just need to be pushed
Speaker 3: in the darkened water until a shark comes up and
Speaker 3: bites your just like, go exactly, chompty pete from high school?
Speaker 1: Whatever, Pete, Pete, pete the shark.
Speaker 3: Adam endearingly loves dolphins, and he knows a lot of
Speaker 3: facts about them. He encourages the girls to feed him,
Speaker 3: but only Vicky takes him up on the offer. I
Speaker 3: don't know why the smart girl wouldn't want to feed
Speaker 3: the dolphins. That made no sense where Susie's like, I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna feed dolphins. Okay, it sounds like a really
Speaker 3: awesome way to spend the day, Susie.
Speaker 1: But whatever.
Speaker 3: Adam mentions at one time dolphins left land and returned
Speaker 3: to sea, claiming them and whales are the only species
Speaker 3: to do that. Vicky jumps in like a real weirdo,
Speaker 3: earnestly adding mermaids to that list because they're real too.
Speaker 3: Susie calls her ridiculous, but Adam makes her feel good
Speaker 3: about being stupid by explaining the myth. Adam and Susie
Speaker 3: start talking about computers and whatever else nerds chat about. Hey,
Speaker 3: easy on the nerd talk people. I'm one myself, by
Speaker 3: the way. If your computer person, it's geeks. Nerds are
Speaker 3: us nerdy people. And you can tell by the number
Speaker 3: of dungeon and dragons dice that.
Speaker 1: I have on my desk. Well, Vicky continues to connect
Speaker 1: with the dolphins, especially one name Enid. They have an
Speaker 1: instant bond, and Vicky knows the dolphin is worried about
Speaker 1: her soon to be born calf.
Speaker 3: Adam doesn't get it. How did you know the dolphin
Speaker 3: was pregnant? Vicki claims she didn't know. She just looked pregnant,
Speaker 3: quote unquote, and just like that, this chick can talk
Speaker 3: to dolphins.
Speaker 1: And again it's kind of comes up later, But it's
Speaker 1: not like you figured this would be the crux of
Speaker 1: the film. But it's not at all.
Speaker 3: It's just a random side thing at Grandfather's, says Grandpa's,
Speaker 3: but I'm just gonna call him grandfather. Vicky is back
Speaker 3: with the textbook and frustrated, she takes a break to
Speaker 3: ask her sister what she thought of Adam. She thinks
Speaker 3: he's too nature based, not focused enough on numbers. Vicky
Speaker 3: then finds herself on the house's deck, where she sees
Speaker 3: her grandfather looking longingly out on the water, like someone
Speaker 3: who's dying would do.
Speaker 1: It's true, he's taking it all in while he can.
Speaker 1: He's got like eight scenes left.
Speaker 2: Like, okay, pass, I have to tell you where I'm
Speaker 2: at in this story as well, like where I'm thinking
Speaker 2: things are going. Oh god, I'm like, especially because we
Speaker 2: have seen a thirteenth year, right, so this is a
Speaker 2: Disney this could go. I mean we're talking about being
Speaker 2: able to talk to her mermaids. I'm thinking like he
Speaker 2: like he's a dolphin or talk to dolphins. Like I'm
Speaker 2: thinking like was that dolphin that she could understand? Her
Speaker 2: grandma that's been that passed away or she thought passed away.
Speaker 2: And he's trying to like wrap things up to wait,
Speaker 2: But the grandma Dolphin's pregnant.
Speaker 1: That's not weird, Like maybe I just so my grandma
Speaker 1: Dolphin's been cheating on my grandfather with another dolphins.
Speaker 7: Like all right, maybe I should just keep watching trying
Speaker 7: to figure out what the hell's going on. I'm with you,
Speaker 7: so confused at this point, like I'm trying to see
Speaker 7: where we're going to where I'm like having these other stories.
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm with you.
Speaker 3: I thought I was one hundred percent sure that he
Speaker 3: was gonna say I can talk to dolphins too.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's why I stayed here.
Speaker 2: And by the way, I was I am a dolphin because.
Speaker 3: That's a little farther. I didn't think you're he was
Speaker 3: going to become a dolphin or.
Speaker 2: A but I literally was like, Okay, maybe I should
Speaker 2: just like just.
Speaker 3: Watch I'll just watch the movie and see which one
Speaker 3: of these people turns into a dolphin.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't anyway.
Speaker 3: The next day, Vicky bikes back over to the research
Speaker 3: center and first checks her hair because she.
Speaker 1: Wants to see the dolphins, which I know it.
Speaker 2: It was poor girl, I know, and her hair this
Speaker 2: whole movie.
Speaker 1: Yes, except in close ups where they don't what doesn't
Speaker 1: move at all? Yeah, it's blowing everywhere.
Speaker 2: Except weird, weird.
Speaker 3: But she checks in to see how Enid is doing.
Speaker 3: Adam arrives in surprise she can already tell the dolphins apart.
Speaker 3: He takes her to me doctor zand, which sounds like
Speaker 3: a really cool, like evil comic book villain, the center's expert,
Speaker 3: who instantly asks how Vicky's grandpa is doing.
Speaker 1: Vicky shrugs it off, He's doing fine.
Speaker 3: Thanks, He's just out of breath from hugging her and
Speaker 3: sadly staring off into the ocean. Adam gets Vicky into
Speaker 3: a wet suit. That's gonna sound weird if you say
Speaker 3: that back, so let's try. Adam gets Vicky a wetsuit
Speaker 3: to help learn more about the way the dolphins communicate.
Speaker 3: Luckily for him, he's with a dolphin whisperer and doesn't
Speaker 3: even know it. Once in the water, Adam looks for
Speaker 3: ultrasonic impulses and Basil.
Speaker 1: It's actually basil, but Basil that's in.
Speaker 3: Its dolphin mate and obviously the side piece of Vicky's grandmother,
Speaker 3: who's a dolphin according to Sabrina, which would have made
Speaker 3: a much different like Basle. That just a very strange
Speaker 3: way to go with the movie. But it is what
Speaker 3: it is, who is kept close to keep everything copasetic
Speaker 3: and ready for her labor. And this is when I
Speaker 3: was like, okay, is this They address it well, no,
Speaker 3: but they also only address it very quickly. So the mother,
Speaker 3: the pregnant mother is essentially being kept in prison away
Speaker 3: from the family, because he tries to explain, he's like, well,
Speaker 3: we're raising some in captivity and we don't let them
Speaker 3: do anything. And then we have wild ones as well,
Speaker 3: so it's like, oh, okay, so you're trapping several of
Speaker 3: the dolphins, including pregnant Enid, And it was just.
Speaker 1: That, you know, I'm an animal, Like it struck me, like, really,
Speaker 1: I get what you're kind of doing, but you brush
Speaker 1: past the fact that, like you're raising some in captivity,
Speaker 1: you're keeping her separate from her mate. It's like, yikes, sort.
Speaker 2: Of felt like this might be thing that they do
Speaker 2: just with the pregnant ones, like to keep them better
Speaker 2: and away from away from harm. Especially Kid says.
Speaker 3: They raised a bunch, they raised one whole kind of
Speaker 3: pod in captivity, one whole.
Speaker 1: Family, and then they have the and this one wild ones. No,
Speaker 1: I guess this is what I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't It was like, where does the But it's.
Speaker 3: Like you watch Free Willie now and it's like, thank god,
Speaker 3: the movie is about letting the thing escape because it's
Speaker 3: you're they're in these little things and I get that
Speaker 3: they made it where it's like look how much room
Speaker 3: she has, but she's not out in the wild, and
Speaker 3: it was kind of like, yeas, So then I like
Speaker 3: you going, well, this can't just be a movie about
Speaker 3: this girl trying to pick between these two guys.
Speaker 1: So is she now gonna help to free the dolphins?
Speaker 1: Is like, what's gonna be?
Speaker 2: Okay? So, but we do end up seeing two dolphins
Speaker 2: together later I don't know.
Speaker 1: Then she he can open the gate, which lets the
Speaker 1: guy in, but it's not like they get there together
Speaker 1: all the time. He's got to let the wild one
Speaker 1: be wild. I don't know. Yeah, it's that weird with me,
Speaker 1: but anyway, he looks.
Speaker 3: He uses ultrasonic impulses to get the dolphins made. Who's
Speaker 3: kept close to keep everything copasetic and ready for her
Speaker 3: labor situation seems to concern Vicki, But before she can
Speaker 3: dive too deep, she sees a dolphin quickly approaching.
Speaker 1: It's basil. He jumps over her.
Speaker 3: And boy, these effects are not special? How bad was
Speaker 3: the cgi of the dolphins jumping over them?
Speaker 2: Right? And I'm kind of like, why these dolphins are
Speaker 2: so like I don't know. I did, I couldn't understand
Speaker 2: why they would have needed to. If they decided to
Speaker 2: do a movie with dolphins and they were going to
Speaker 2: be in the water with dolphins, wouldn't that be in
Speaker 2: the budget? And they can't?
Speaker 3: Just did you really need them jumping over them? Like
Speaker 3: you haven't cut to stock footage of him jumping out
Speaker 3: of the water and doing a flip like they did later,
Speaker 3: Like why why is that okay? But you need the
Speaker 3: really bad CGI where it was like, this does not
Speaker 3: look good.
Speaker 2: Well, in that time, it looked good, probably to people
Speaker 2: because they actually newer PGI.
Speaker 1: No, no, two thousand. They were doing some cool stuff
Speaker 1: in two thousands. I mean it's like Terminator two had
Speaker 1: already come and gone by this point. You can't do it.
Speaker 1: Dolphin flipping, if robots coming from the future and melting
Speaker 1: and everything, it's like you could do some cool by
Speaker 1: this point.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 3: Even though Basil is a little snappier with the other
Speaker 3: dolphins of the pen, Vicky effortlessly pets him without any problems,
Speaker 3: claiming he has an itch he wants scratched, and again,
Speaker 3: when pressed on how she knows this, she claims she
Speaker 3: just guessed.
Speaker 1: Adam notices Basil as a fresh gar in his back
Speaker 1: and this.
Speaker 3: Vicky whispers it was hard sharp seaweed, then pretend she
Speaker 3: didn't say anything about it. I want you to know something, Sabrina,
Speaker 3: because she she keeps everything private. If I can ever
Speaker 3: talk to dolphins.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you know. Okay, I'm not gonna keep
Speaker 1: it private as of now, it can't.
Speaker 2: You know, that's gonna weird me out.
Speaker 3: It's still just goldfish and the occasional koi, but not
Speaker 3: dolphins yet. All right again, we talked to just yesterday
Speaker 3: about how Americans can't keep two languages in their head.
Speaker 3: So now I'm supposed to be able to speak English
Speaker 3: and Dolphin.
Speaker 2: I can dolphin.
Speaker 4: A chance, sh.
Speaker 1: That happened? My god? I can barely speak frontseais back
Speaker 1: at the lab.
Speaker 3: Adam alerts Doctor Zand about the scar. This is Basil's
Speaker 3: third this week. He blames illegal drift nets on the
Speaker 3: Marie Rose, a commercial boat that has been catching in
Speaker 3: a regular amount offici lately, but Doctor Zan reminds him
Speaker 3: they are a research center, not the police out on
Speaker 3: the beach, so as he can't find her a clear
Speaker 3: nail polish, but we can. Little brother Rob is using
Speaker 3: it to preserve his.
Speaker 1: Bugs and there's a lot of like catching animals and
Speaker 1: casing them in this movie. Out on the water, the
Speaker 1: radical dude, some radical dude, a radical dude is performing
Speaker 1: jumps on a wave runner. Rob is very impressed. The
Speaker 1: trickster eventually pulls up on the sand and it's that.
Speaker 3: A hole Zachary Gray. He instantly goes in for a kiss,
Speaker 3: but Vicky pushes him away. He never even responded to
Speaker 3: a Christmas card, and it heard her. He apologizes, he
Speaker 3: was busy.
Speaker 2: He like, wait a minute, wait a minute, I need
Speaker 2: to if if Christmas cards were like the thing that
Speaker 2: like really set the standard of where you were in relationships,
Speaker 2: I'm like, I gotta go back in time and be
Speaker 2: a lot more pissed off. It's on my boyfriends. I
Speaker 2: would a Christmas card.
Speaker 1: Ever, I've never sent a Christmas card in my life.
Speaker 1: I've never given my wife.
Speaker 2: A Christmas card and send a Christmas card?
Speaker 1: You jerk, Like what, We're twelve, how dare you not
Speaker 1: send me a Christmas card?
Speaker 2: Like, oh my god, what that was so funny?
Speaker 3: I was like, yeah, that was By the way, he
Speaker 3: might be a little older, but I figured she's what
Speaker 3: supposed to be like seventeen eighteen.
Speaker 2: She didn't seem seventeen at all.
Speaker 1: She didn't to me, but I think that's what she
Speaker 1: was supposed to be.
Speaker 2: I was thinking she'd be like a freshman, but then
Speaker 2: like the well, yeah.
Speaker 3: Her little sister said that she was going to get
Speaker 3: in trying to get an early admission to MIT in
Speaker 3: the next two years.
Speaker 1: Her sister was right, but her sister looks like she's
Speaker 1: what eleven?
Speaker 2: Okay, this was one of my Sabrina seas. I was like, what,
Speaker 2: who are these kids like early admission to MIT. He's
Speaker 2: already got into Harvard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're one of these smarty, smart families. That's what
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be.
Speaker 2: But even later on we just talked about the scene
Speaker 2: the little brother with the with the bugs on the beach. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's like saying the like full on, Like I mean,
Speaker 2: I know he's a bug guy and loves bugs, but
Speaker 2: like he seemed to be very like, kind of very
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 3: My guess is, having not read any of these books,
Speaker 3: my guess is this is the she Vicky is the artist,
Speaker 3: born into a very scientific family.
Speaker 1: Yes, her parents work at a university. Her sister's going
Speaker 1: to go to mit.
Speaker 3: Her brother's a little nerdy bug guy, and she wants
Speaker 3: to write poetry, which is why her family is trying
Speaker 3: to get her to go like concentrate on physics and
Speaker 3: do all that.
Speaker 1: And it's her grandfather.
Speaker 3: That's why she's like, my grandfather's the only one who
Speaker 3: understands me, because he's like, art is just as important
Speaker 3: as the science.
Speaker 1: And they didn't.
Speaker 3: I had to infer that from the film. They did
Speaker 3: not really bracket it, and they should have. But that's
Speaker 3: my guess is she's like.
Speaker 2: Little small things like oh, I'm going to go into
Speaker 2: I'm getting early I want to get early acceptance, I
Speaker 2: want this, I want that.
Speaker 3: It's like I think they were trying to set it
Speaker 3: up to where she's she's the artist born into a
Speaker 3: very scientific family, right, so yeah, but he yeah, you're right, No,
Speaker 3: no Christmas card at fifteen, we're done. He apologies, He apologizes,
Speaker 3: he was busy getting thrown out of private schools. Also,
Speaker 3: his mom died.
Speaker 1: That's literally how he says it for real. And now,
Speaker 1: of course Susie feels.
Speaker 3: Terrible, but it's like, wait, what he's like, come on,
Speaker 3: I was busy, I had stuff to do, and my
Speaker 3: mother a lie.
Speaker 2: Thought it was like a total lie.
Speaker 1: I really.
Speaker 4: He was just used.
Speaker 2: This was like a line that he uses to get
Speaker 2: into girls pants, like, oh, feel bad for me. I
Speaker 2: am just like this like lost.
Speaker 6: Soul when mom died, My mom died and what I'm
Speaker 6: just saying like that it did, and the way he
Speaker 6: played it seemed very like, Ah, this didn't really happen,
Speaker 6: but I think you'll believe it.
Speaker 3: And I guess I think we've read about this Moudon
Speaker 3: either but I think everything we've read about this movie
Speaker 3: is this is why I say it's like a and
Speaker 3: their Stars kind of situation where it's I think one
Speaker 3: of the underlying themes of this entire film is death, Yes,
Speaker 3: and that's what it's supposed to be.
Speaker 1: And then they're like, let's also have dolphins.
Speaker 3: So I think it's just everybody's dealing with death, which hey,
Speaker 3: funny premise for a dcom right, And up.
Speaker 2: Until now, we didn't really hear about the dad, about
Speaker 2: Vicky's dad, so that was a question mark on my
Speaker 2: my Like listening in was like, was that going to
Speaker 2: be something that.
Speaker 3: Like, which I guess is one of the reasons that
Speaker 3: people that like the book really hated this movie is
Speaker 3: because I guess the parents had a lot to do
Speaker 3: in the book.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yeah, which so yeah. But they hug and
Speaker 1: he admits that he missed her.
Speaker 3: Back in the beach, Rob has thrown a frisbee in
Speaker 3: the ocean for the dog, but the canine is too
Speaker 3: old to swim, so not dog's probably going to die
Speaker 3: soon too, so now Rob has to retrieve it. But
Speaker 3: then on his way, he has trouble with the strong
Speaker 3: tide and starts to drown.
Speaker 1: This movie's hysterical.
Speaker 3: He screams for help, but only the dog notices because
Speaker 3: Zachary is now blabbering on about flying lessons. This guy
Speaker 3: he wants to take Vicky flying one day, but he
Speaker 3: says her parents would never let her go with him,
Speaker 3: but also if she has a dead brother, things would
Speaker 3: change anyway, And that's when she notices her brother is
Speaker 3: missing Vicky.
Speaker 2: This is also why the Beach is not a place
Speaker 2: to send children of that age without like fur real
Speaker 2: parental or like adult supervision.
Speaker 3: Or a lifeguard or something like that. I mean, it's yes, yeah,
Speaker 3: there's an undertotal reel. Vicky then rushes into the water
Speaker 3: but can't find him. However, we see that he's submerged
Speaker 3: in lifeless just as a dolphin passes is soon to
Speaker 3: be bloated carcass. The dolphin starts nudging him and chirping,
Speaker 3: pushing him up for as much needed air. Eventually, Vicky
Speaker 3: spots her brother, now much closer to the shore and alive.
Speaker 3: He has no memory of how he was saved, but
Speaker 3: that's when we see the dolphin.
Speaker 1: Who celebrates and swims away, which Sabrina still thinks is
Speaker 1: somehow actually a human and related to the family. Later,
Speaker 1: Vicky and her grandfather uncle Richie.
Speaker 3: Later, Vicky and her grandfather are walking in town, not
Speaker 3: talking about how her brother almost died but a magical
Speaker 3: dolphin save them, But instead they run the harbor master,
Speaker 3: who was also happy to see her grandpa out and
Speaker 3: about because, as we know and she doesn't, he'll probably
Speaker 3: be dead soon, so.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows but her.
Speaker 3: Once alone again, Vicky confides in her grandpa her big secret.
Speaker 3: She knows what dolphins are thinking and all those It
Speaker 3: sounds like the kind of thing you'd say right before
Speaker 3: you're taking away in a straight jacket. He believes her,
Speaker 3: mostly because her grandmother used to have women's intuition, which
Speaker 3: I guess is one way to look at that.
Speaker 2: Another check mark that this might have been the grandmother
Speaker 2: that's about to give birth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it might not be the pregnant dolphin grandma may
Speaker 1: or may not be. Uh yeah, we're so Superhena's still
Speaker 1: popcorn halfway to her mouth.
Speaker 2: Like I I'm not sure waiting at this point all
Speaker 2: the job Wow.
Speaker 1: We know.
Speaker 3: He encourages her to consider it a compliment, and now
Speaker 3: she needs to know why are people in town so
Speaker 3: cancerned with his well being?
Speaker 1: He cites his general age and gives it no mind.
Speaker 3: Later on, Vicky has lunch with Zachary, who complains about
Speaker 3: the mixed messages he's been getting from his dad since
Speaker 3: his mom died, he got kicked out of school, and
Speaker 3: his dad still bottom of a car and a boat.
Speaker 3: All the while, Zachary is telling Vicky he missed her
Speaker 3: and holding her hand, and then Adam appears. VICKI introduces
Speaker 3: her to love interest to one another, and now we
Speaker 3: have officially kicked off a love triangle. There's immediate tention
Speaker 3: when Adam lambas Zachary because his dad uses dangerous drift nets.
Speaker 1: On his boat.
Speaker 3: The Marie Rose, which turns out that's what Zach's dad does,
Speaker 3: he kills dolphins for a living. But Zachary doesn't even
Speaker 3: know what a drift net is, so Adam explains that
Speaker 3: they're illegal and kill dolphins. Zachary doesn't seem too concerned.
Speaker 3: He's mostly bothered that Vicky has become a quote unquote
Speaker 3: dolphin hugger, which honestly sounds like a pretty cool thing
Speaker 3: to do.
Speaker 1: But well, except if you're Serena, then it's scary. But
Speaker 1: he'll do anything for her, so he promises to look
Speaker 1: into it.
Speaker 2: I would do it in pools are fine. In the
Speaker 2: ocean ever, again, dolphins are fine.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 3: That night, Zachary takes Adam and Vicky over to the
Speaker 3: Marie Rose. The two guys sneak onto the boat to
Speaker 3: search for the net. As Zachary grills at him about
Speaker 3: a situation with Vicky. Then the boat's captain, Captain Scary
Speaker 3: cranky Pants, who was exactly how I would have cast him,
Speaker 3: he catches them. Zachary reveals himself, telling his dad's employee
Speaker 3: that he's just showing his friends around the boat. Adam
Speaker 3: did find the drift net before they left, but now
Speaker 3: the captain is extremely suspicious. Zachary drops Vicky off at
Speaker 3: home and we get a rare dcom kiss and ooh nice,
Speaker 3: and he tells her to dream about him as he leaves.
Speaker 1: Does this guy have any game? Is it just the money?
Speaker 1: He's a good looking dude, right, But is he creepy?
Speaker 1: How is this playing? Oh?
Speaker 2: It kind of both, Like he is definitely not a
Speaker 2: trustworthy guy, but I did believe that he was, like
Speaker 2: the hot guy she's stoked is having an interest in her.
Speaker 1: Okay, So it's it's the typical bad boy thing.
Speaker 2: It's like, you got a bad, typical guy that he's
Speaker 2: kissing you, but you are not sure when he jumps
Speaker 2: in his car if he's going home or to like
Speaker 2: someone else's house.
Speaker 1: Right, And yet ninety percent of the girls would still
Speaker 1: pick that guy at that age.
Speaker 2: That was definitely Yes.
Speaker 3: Nice guys do finish last at that age. But then
Speaker 3: we win in the end, people, we win in the end.
Speaker 3: So yes, she do, so buck up, buckers, You're gonna
Speaker 3: be fine.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Then we are back in the ocean with Vicky now
Speaker 3: a mermaid being followed closely by dolphins.
Speaker 1: She kisses one just as it turns into atom and
Speaker 1: now they kiss, and now she's kissed two different guys
Speaker 1: and a dolphin. Dare I say by dcom standard, she's,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of getting around a little.
Speaker 2: Bit cally, little scalliwag a little bit little CALLI.
Speaker 1: Hey, it's she's got free will.
Speaker 4: This is all.
Speaker 1: It's all good. Also, have you ever kissed anybody underwater? Yeah?
Speaker 2: And it's so dumb, Like why is it dumb? Well,
Speaker 2: it's just like, I mean, there's there's that, there's bubble,
Speaker 2: like it's like not a not a good thing. It's
Speaker 2: it's real dumb. It's like yeah, no, like it doesn't
Speaker 2: make any sense too all right. But anyway, I was
Speaker 2: also going to say this kiss is actually like the
Speaker 2: third kiss, because I don't think in any of the
Speaker 2: d coms we've seen do they kiss multiple times. You're right, Zachary.
Speaker 2: She kisses it was like a cute little moment like
Speaker 2: how like she's like, oh my gosh, that just happened.
Speaker 2: And then they like kiss it again.
Speaker 1: Before then she puts his hand on it, on his face,
Speaker 1: and then she kisses him again. Yes, and then and.
Speaker 2: Then we go inside. We've never really seen them go
Speaker 2: in for like a double kiss. And then oh my god,
Speaker 2: we got like within thirty seconds she's kissing another guy.
Speaker 1: Yes, but this was in a dream, for it isn't.
Speaker 2: A dream, but it's still happening on screen.
Speaker 1: Well it started.
Speaker 3: It was originally started with her about to kiss her
Speaker 3: dolphin grandmother, and then that turns into Adam, that's what
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 1: They're like, when are they gonna make it her grandmother?
Speaker 2: But she gonna come alive. When do we get to
Speaker 2: see what the grandma really looks like?
Speaker 1: I know? And then she wakes up them from the fantasy.
Speaker 3: Just they cut right before we were finally gonna find
Speaker 3: out how mermaids actually had sex, right because still don't
Speaker 3: still have no idea. The next morning, Adam bikes down
Speaker 3: to harbor patrol to alert them about the Marie Roses
Speaker 3: drift net. To pacify the concerned activists, the harbor patrolman
Speaker 3: promises he'll check out the boat when it docks. Back
Speaker 3: at Grandfather's, Vicky gets some flowers from Zachary, and Susie
Speaker 3: basically calls her sister a cheap fluozy for dating two
Speaker 3: guys at the same time, but Grandfather calls it the
Speaker 3: adventure of life.
Speaker 1: Susie plans on.
Speaker 3: Just dating one guy and calling it a day, and
Speaker 3: then on cue, Adam arrives with some books to return.
Speaker 1: This guy reads thirty five philosophy books. Yay, he is so.
Speaker 3: Vicky quickly hides the bouquet. Grandpa invites him to stay
Speaker 3: for dinner, and he takes the one perfectly prepped open
Speaker 3: seat at the table.
Speaker 1: How coincidental? Also, you assume they made enough food. It's
Speaker 1: it's a lot to add another person to the meal.
Speaker 1: I mean you always kind of not always.
Speaker 3: After the meal, while Vicki cleans, that did not always
Speaker 3: tell you a story?
Speaker 2: Who makes it to the tea?
Speaker 6: Do not tell you?
Speaker 3: Sue was growing up, they had something in Sue's family
Speaker 3: called FHB, which was family holdback. If somebody random showed up,
Speaker 3: they all had to take smaller portions so that the
Speaker 3: new person could could eat food too.
Speaker 1: FH Family hold Back, Thank you very much. Hope that
Speaker 1: catches up trademark.
Speaker 3: After the meal, while Vicki cleans the dishes, Adam tells
Speaker 3: the group is dolphin origin story, which includes a magical
Speaker 3: meeting with the animals. In a weird exchange, Vicky is
Speaker 3: offended that Adam is such a fact based scientist, arguing
Speaker 3: that not everything needs to be explained. Things get heated,
Speaker 3: but they're quickly interrupted by the arrival of Dan, the
Speaker 3: harbor patrolman, and it seemed like she just wanted to fight.
Speaker 1: He says.
Speaker 3: He searched the Marie Rose, but there was no drift net.
Speaker 3: Adams convinced the captain hid them. After their surprise visit,
Speaker 3: they decide they'll need to bust them while using the
Speaker 3: drift net now. Later that night, grandfather joins Vicky on
Speaker 3: the balcony to commend her ability to challenge Adam. She
Speaker 3: calls the aspiring biologists hard to read and knows it
Speaker 3: would be easier if she was a dolphin.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: They admire the.
Speaker 3: Stars, but Grandpa doesn't look through the telescope anymore because
Speaker 3: it takes away all the magic. He acknowledges that Susie
Speaker 3: knows all the scientific facts about the universe, but wishes
Speaker 3: she could just enjoy the magic itself. He then reads
Speaker 3: his granddaughter the passage from the Henry Vaughan poem that
Speaker 3: includes the title of the movie, and she loves it.
Speaker 3: The next morning, over at Zachary's compound, the dad brings
Speaker 3: up the recent boat visit he made with Adam. Zachary
Speaker 3: sells it as innocent, but his dad isn't buying it.
Speaker 3: He explains the houses, the cars, the private school, that
Speaker 3: lifestyle is maintained through the business, and if Zachary does
Speaker 3: anything stupid.
Speaker 1: Everything will go away.
Speaker 3: Back at the research center, Vicki finds doctor Zand and
Speaker 3: Adam frantically helping Enid through a difficult delivery. They're about
Speaker 3: to sedate her, but Vicky intervenes. She said Enid doesn't
Speaker 3: want to be sedated. She wants to be reunited with
Speaker 3: Basil for the birth. The doctor demands Vicki minder business,
Speaker 3: but Adam convinces her to let Baselin and the two
Speaker 3: immediately reconnect.
Speaker 1: And then another first for d coms. We see the
Speaker 1: birth of a dolphin, which was actually kind of cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah true, another another first, even like we haven't had
Speaker 2: any births.
Speaker 1: No, I mean, I don't think we're showing a close
Speaker 1: up like well no, sir, no, but I mean like.
Speaker 2: There's no like, oh, this is your little sister, right,
Speaker 2: we have an oh.
Speaker 1: No quinch quince?
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was five away from the horse, said, wasn't
Speaker 4: there a horse?
Speaker 1: Berth an horse sense did we cut away from it
Speaker 1: in horse sense? I can't remember?
Speaker 4: Remember? Oh no, is there a berth in the two
Speaker 4: girls that take over the farm The Simple Life?
Speaker 2: Oh? That was cow Bells and.
Speaker 4: I think we have a berth in that.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so we got some animal births.
Speaker 3: I want a human brow with the first Disney channel
Speaker 3: human birth and Disney just owns the baby the second
Speaker 3: it comes out.
Speaker 1: That's how it would be.
Speaker 4: We still have a descendants left.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're getting from a producer, michaela that this was
Speaker 3: a lot for a decom, especially with the blood and
Speaker 3: there was like the splash of blood coming out of.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins's true, we saw birth. It was obviously a
Speaker 1: real birth. It was pretty cool.
Speaker 3: Everyone celebrates, but Adam and the doctor want to know
Speaker 3: exactly what the hell is going on? Fair question put
Speaker 3: on the spot. Well, Vicky runs out, but Adam stops
Speaker 3: her before she can get too far. He knows she
Speaker 3: can telepathically communicate with the dolphins, which seemed like a
Speaker 3: very quick conclusion to make, and even though Adam explains
Speaker 3: how helpful her ability can be, Vicky's not interested in
Speaker 3: becoming a case study. Meanwhile, Zachary secretly takes photos of
Speaker 3: the Marie Rose right in the process of using.
Speaker 1: A driftnet score. The next day, Vicky is writing poetry
Speaker 1: near the lighthouse.
Speaker 3: When Adam finds her, he apologizes for making her feel bad,
Speaker 3: but Vicky's still mad that all he wants in life
Speaker 3: is proof and data. He's a scientist going to Harvard,
Speaker 3: especially because she has no idea how she communicates with dolphins.
Speaker 3: She doesn't want to be studied like one of her
Speaker 3: brother's bugs, Like I could just see him putting her
Speaker 3: in a giant thing of a nail polish, just to
Speaker 3: keep her all solid. Like she said, some things in
Speaker 3: the world just don't need an explanation, but uh, talking
Speaker 3: to animals, let's maybe get an explanation.
Speaker 1: He finally admits he's just jealous.
Speaker 3: He knows everything about dolphins, but he can't actually talk
Speaker 3: to them, but he wishes he could so he could
Speaker 3: say goodbye to them at the end of this summer.
Speaker 3: Vicky loves hearing his emotional side and they make up. Also,
Speaker 3: there are tons of close ups of Mischa Barton in
Speaker 3: the scene. Again, her hair is not blowing anywhere.
Speaker 1: But she's stunning, and he's a good looking dude. Too.
Speaker 3: This is a good looking cast. This could be up
Speaker 3: there for all around best looking cast. You know the
Speaker 3: gray guy, everybody good looking people. That night, Vicky asked Susie,
Speaker 3: her little sister, for advice on Adam and Zachary, which
Speaker 3: doesn't seem like the most reliable opinion, but okay, sure.
Speaker 3: She says there are great traits in both of them.
Speaker 3: Adam knows his future while the other is in flux
Speaker 3: but very exciting. Zachary gets the vote for looks and
Speaker 3: Adam gets the votes for smart, but he smells like
Speaker 3: fish and formaldehyde. Without a definite answer, she suggests a
Speaker 3: pros and cons list. That night, Vicki goes on a
Speaker 3: fancy dinner date with Zachary, where he reveals he knows
Speaker 3: they went to the harbor patrolman about his dad, but
Speaker 3: instead of being mad.
Speaker 1: He's actually proud of them. And then they're joined by
Speaker 1: a surprise guest. Adam is zach playing chess? Here is
Speaker 1: he just kind of clueless? I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1: He shows them the photos he took, clearly documenting the
Speaker 1: nuts being used, but Adam says it's not gonna be enough.
Speaker 1: They need to personally catch them in the act, and
Speaker 1: Zachary thinks, you know what, that could be arranged.
Speaker 3: Enough of this dolphin saving though, zach wants to dance,
Speaker 3: which I thought was such weird.
Speaker 2: It's like, glad that we have that covered. Who wants
Speaker 2: to dance? Anybody ready for some.
Speaker 1: Let's dance?
Speaker 4: Everybody do the dolphins?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was the doll. It was very strange.
Speaker 2: The dolphin look like.
Speaker 3: That's oh god, you realize that's now the social clip,
Speaker 3: very good, Sabrina damn it.
Speaker 1: Clip. He knows about a night club.
Speaker 3: That is quote unquote totally insane, but Adam doesn't dance
Speaker 3: because he's a scientist.
Speaker 1: You can be one thing or another, you can't be balanced. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So he encourages them to go alone. Vicky promises she
Speaker 1: can teach him, but he isn't interested or is he.
Speaker 3: That night, presumably after dancing all night at the totally
Speaker 3: insane club and coming down from the mescaline, Vicky is
Speaker 3: back home writing when she hears something outside.
Speaker 1: It's Adam. He wants to know if the offer to
Speaker 1: teach him how to dance still stands. Now they're out
Speaker 1: on the beach next to a bomb fire in a boombox,
Speaker 1: they're dancing with Vicky leading the way he asked, and
Speaker 1: when it first comes up, it just so reminded me
Speaker 1: of what I would look like dancing at that age, Like.
Speaker 2: The No, this was the sweetest.
Speaker 4: It was very sweet.
Speaker 1: It was very sweet. It was I agree undred percent,
Speaker 1: it was sweet. It looked good. The fire was great.
Speaker 1: Good see.
Speaker 2: And by the way, this is what ninety eight point
Speaker 2: five percent of guys from like what middle schools the
Speaker 2: first time they dance with the girl.
Speaker 1: All the way to like my wedding.
Speaker 2: Yes, oh, I mean like they get a little bit
Speaker 2: more confidence, like probably like midway halfway you know, halfway
Speaker 2: through high school. By like college, they're like feeling a
Speaker 2: little bit more comfortable.
Speaker 3: I would also have to add, I'm sorry to say
Speaker 3: this that usually by college. I never went, but I
Speaker 3: imagine when the guys are more confident in dancing in college,
Speaker 3: it's because they're drunk.
Speaker 2: Yes, so they've got like they're you know, they're a
Speaker 2: little bit more loose. They're a little bit like, you know,
Speaker 2: just kind of whatever. But I'm just saying, like this
Speaker 2: was so exactly how everyone remembers. Yep, there a time
Speaker 2: like for a while, how it felt dancing with you know,
Speaker 2: you're like.
Speaker 8: Crush yep, i'd be Valentine, say everybody, we still I
Speaker 8: still joke with Susan that in the seventh grade there
Speaker 8: was a girl named Tammy Taylor.
Speaker 3: And it's not the same, not the same as the
Speaker 3: character from Friday Night Lights, but her name is Tammy Taylor.
Speaker 3: She would hold you so tight when you danced, and
Speaker 3: I look at Sue occasionally and as a joke, I'm like.
Speaker 1: I'll never feel that safe again as I did in Tammy.
Speaker 3: Taylor's arms in the seventh grade. And then you know,
Speaker 3: you'd be dancing to like Stairway to Heaven and it'd
Speaker 3: be the greatest thing in the world. But then the
Speaker 3: fast part would start and you didn't know are you're
Speaker 3: supposed to break apart?
Speaker 1: Do you? What the heck is supposed to go on?
Speaker 1: But oh, Tammy Taylor, if you're listening, I remember that
Speaker 1: slow dance. I'm telling you.
Speaker 2: I'm actually just now thinking how excited I am for
Speaker 2: your birthday party, because that will for sure be the
Speaker 2: first time I get to see you in action.
Speaker 1: Hopefully there'll be an open bar so it won't matter anyway, Yes.
Speaker 2: I shock everyone and learn like an actual routine.
Speaker 3: I'm working with the entire past of dancing with the stars. Yes,
Speaker 3: and the Backstreet Boys.
Speaker 4: It's going to be great.
Speaker 1: Yes, So that's going to be a fun party. We
Speaker 1: already started planning it. Keep the date open.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 3: Yes, they're dancing. He asked about her poetry, and they
Speaker 3: talk about her grandfather as she pulls him in close
Speaker 3: for the very very very slow dancing, and then once
Speaker 3: again they kiss. So we're used to, you know, begging
Speaker 3: to see a kissing these movies.
Speaker 1: Now I'm over it. She's kiss ninety three people. Now
Speaker 1: it's time to move on people.
Speaker 3: No, it's very sweet. It's a nice scene. It's very real,
Speaker 3: and they're both great in the scene. They eventually leave,
Speaker 3: ignoring the massive bonfire they left behind and creating an
Speaker 3: obvious fire hazard. Maybe that could kill dolphins, doesn't seem
Speaker 3: like Dolphin Boy cares about that. On their walk home,
Speaker 3: Adam asks for help with the dolphins tomorrow. She agrees,
Speaker 3: and they get okay, get ready for this.
Speaker 1: You know what they do? They kiss again, and once
Speaker 1: inside the house, she appears to be spitting.
Speaker 3: She's like, WHOA, I bet you I've never gotten that
Speaker 3: response from a girl doesn't ever walk inside.
Speaker 1: She's probably like, ohhoa as much. Oh god, I can
Speaker 1: still taste him?
Speaker 6: Oh god, man?
Speaker 2: Oh flashbacks, yuck, flashbacks.
Speaker 1: To what Yeah, yeah, there were some kisses where you're like, oh, really,
Speaker 1: do you remember bad kisses? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah. Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: So the next morning, at the biology center with Adam,
Speaker 3: they let Enid Basil and their new child who I'm
Speaker 3: gonna call Jeffrey Rome free. Adam asks Vicki to call
Speaker 3: for the dolphins, but she claims she can't. He encourages
Speaker 3: her to try anyway, because, don't forget people, she can
Speaker 3: talk to dolphins, which seems to not be in this
Speaker 3: movie much. If she can receive messages, he thinks she
Speaker 3: can also send them, so he takes a deep breath,
Speaker 3: closes her eyes, and focuses, but after a few seconds
Speaker 3: nothing happens. Instead, they discuss the evolution of dolphins and
Speaker 3: why would they ever leave the land for the sea
Speaker 3: and forfeit their hands, which, again, if you ask me,
Speaker 3: sounds like a conversation I would have had in high.
Speaker 1: School while stoned. Hey, man, like do you think dolphins
Speaker 1: had hands? And then like they had to like get
Speaker 1: rid of their hands to go swim again. Whoa, and
Speaker 1: then guess who arrives? It's Enid Basil and young baby Jeffrey.
Speaker 3: Adam encourages Vicky to keep going, and then seconds later,
Speaker 3: the dolphins simultaneously perform once again absolutely terrible cgi flips,
Speaker 3: then grab they're human friends to playfully drag them across
Speaker 3: the ocean.
Speaker 1: Seemingly.
Speaker 3: Never satisfied, Adam now wants her to ask the dolphins
Speaker 3: a question, why did they return to the sea. Vicky obliges,
Speaker 3: but before she can get an answer, she's violently dragged underwater.
Speaker 3: Her body is now lifeless, eyes closed. She's being circled
Speaker 3: by the now chirping dolphins, while Adam screams to find her.
Speaker 3: Time is running out. Finally, dolphins nudge your back above
Speaker 3: the water to get air, and the screen goes white with.
Speaker 1: A visible ring of light, A ring of light. Did
Speaker 1: you get it? Yeah? Got it? Okay, because it's the
Speaker 1: it's a ring of light.
Speaker 2: I know. And this is when I was like.
Speaker 1: A dolphin gonna tell us this. It's her grandmother.
Speaker 2: I'm over it. I'm over it. I'm over the ring
Speaker 2: of light.
Speaker 1: It's just it's very it's.
Speaker 3: Again it's a it's a very very slow paced decoc
Speaker 3: it is. Yes, it felt a lot longer than idiot.
Speaker 3: You get Descendants movies at are one hundred and nine
Speaker 3: minutes and you're like, I could have watched another twenty minutes.
Speaker 3: This one was eighty eight minutes, and it's like this
Speaker 3: one it was dragging.
Speaker 5: It was.
Speaker 2: It really really started to and especially when it was
Speaker 2: like like this scene specifically too, like it was supposed
Speaker 2: to be like a heightened scene, but it was like,
Speaker 2: how come Adam out of nowhere just like doesn't know
Speaker 2: how to swim? Why how come you just like completely
Speaker 2: forget how to swim, Like you're that you're in the water,
Speaker 2: you're acting like you see her now going and he's
Speaker 2: like Vicky, Vicky, and it's like, look in the water,
Speaker 2: you idiot, she's obviously down there, and I'm not why
Speaker 2: you just lean down and grab her hand and pull
Speaker 2: her back up, like, oh my god, get like annoying.
Speaker 1: It's so true. Yeah if she dies now, bro, it's
Speaker 1: on you. It's on you. Okay, Yeah, it's so great. Uh.
Speaker 3: Then we hear Adam's voice asking if she's all right,
Speaker 3: and saying you should probably learn how to swim. When
Speaker 3: she awakens, she doesn't remember anything, but knows she couldn't
Speaker 3: understand Enid and Basil's answer to the question. She now
Speaker 3: knows dolphins are all connected and they have no secrets.
Speaker 3: Again serious stoner conversation. Amen, Amen, man, you know that
Speaker 3: dolphins don't have any secrets.
Speaker 2: Also, Dazzle just now hit me. It sounds like you're
Speaker 2: putting the wrong and fossis on the wrong side.
Speaker 1: Bazzle is at Basil, is it Basil? I'm watching soon.
Speaker 3: I am watching a lot of BritBox lately. So we
Speaker 3: found ourselves saying things British. I said patriotic the other day.
Speaker 1: Yes, so this is no, it's not a book. And
Speaker 1: so Vicky bike's home only sees Zachary waiting for her,
Speaker 1: claiming it's time to catch the bad guy, which sounds
Speaker 1: like a euphemism.
Speaker 3: They take a speedboat to the Marie Rose in hopes
Speaker 3: of seeing them drop a net. Vicky asked if Adam
Speaker 3: should join them, and he basically says, I didn't invite
Speaker 3: that dork here.
Speaker 1: I only invited him to dinner to see my competition.
Speaker 3: But she admits she likes Adam, so Zach starts playing
Speaker 3: hater his rival a dull old man. Then he spots
Speaker 3: a boat and decides to speed toward it to play chicken.
Speaker 1: He really is the opposite adult.
Speaker 3: They're getting closer and closer to the other boat, and
Speaker 3: his crew is begging him to slow down, but Zack's
Speaker 3: not flinching, and Vicky is terrified. At the last possible second,
Speaker 3: Zack swerves, barely avoiding a collision. Vicky demands he take
Speaker 3: her back right now. First of all, how did he
Speaker 3: know which direction the boat was going to turn? They
Speaker 3: both could have swerved the same direction. Like yikes, not okay,
Speaker 3: I would.
Speaker 2: Have been pissed. Oh I would never ever have talked
Speaker 2: about his CANOOSI again.
Speaker 1: Playing with fire Bro. But he's so dreamy, sin No,
Speaker 1: not that dreamy.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: He tries to call it fun, but she isn't having it.
Speaker 3: Back on land, he admits he was just trying to
Speaker 3: impress her and apologizes he likes her.
Speaker 1: Her response to that is, well, then start liking yourself.
Speaker 1: Good line.
Speaker 3: That night, it's pouring and Vicky is riding again. She
Speaker 3: hears a loud thump downstairs and runs to find her
Speaker 3: grandfather he's fallen out of bed and can't get up.
Speaker 1: He's just sort of.
Speaker 4: Sorry.
Speaker 1: I'm just the guy fallen and I can't get up.
Speaker 3: He's desorry. I did thinking Vicky is his deceased wife.
Speaker 3: He's stammering and not acting like himself, and I'm at
Speaker 3: this point, Sabrina still thinks this man is a chance.
Speaker 1: He asks for his meds, so Vicky gives him pain pills.
Speaker 3: She has no idea why he's taking them now clearly
Speaker 3: more and ConTroll He glances out the window to admire
Speaker 3: the storm, but Vicky is really shaken up.
Speaker 1: She asked her grandfather to look her in the eye
Speaker 1: and tell her the truth. Is he all right? He
Speaker 1: claims superb health, but a tear falls down her cheek.
Speaker 1: She wants the truth. He says fine.
Speaker 3: He admits he's not a young man anymore, but he's
Speaker 3: enjoying every minute of what's left. Then he says to
Speaker 3: her he has leukemia. Choked up, Vicky asked if he's sure,
Speaker 3: which was not a question.
Speaker 1: I was expecting. It was kind of strange.
Speaker 3: He says he's short and planning on telling her parents
Speaker 3: when they arrive. She's now scared. She doesn't want anything
Speaker 3: to happen to the one person who understands her. He
Speaker 3: promises he won't be the last, especially because of her poetry.
Speaker 3: He says death is as natural as a storm outside,
Speaker 3: and he has no fear in God's plans. He asks
Speaker 3: her to read one of her poems for comfort while sobbing.
Speaker 3: She does, than they embrace again. Weird tone for a dcom,
Speaker 3: very sweet scene between two the actors, well written, understand
Speaker 3: about the whole. It's trying to get kids to understand
Speaker 3: death a little. It's just it's heavy handed.
Speaker 1: For a deal.
Speaker 2: It is okay, and I'm telling you right now this
Speaker 2: is where I'm starting to get pissed.
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is.
Speaker 2: Not what I come to the channel for. Okay, not
Speaker 2: what I come to the channel.
Speaker 4: Four.
Speaker 1: Yeah, somebody throw a pie at this point, where's the
Speaker 1: food fight?
Speaker 2: I need sinkerbilts immediately for duty and throw some glitter
Speaker 2: on this guy.
Speaker 1: Ye, let's not die on us.
Speaker 2: This is getting just a little too much for me.
Speaker 1: It is. It is a heavy decom. It's just it's
Speaker 1: it feels like it's grandparents.
Speaker 2: I can't handle grandparents.
Speaker 1: I just a Nicholas Sparks thing. It is just very heavy.
Speaker 1: The next morning, Vicki awakens, still holding her book of poems.
Speaker 3: She calls out for her grandfather, fearing what she'll find,
Speaker 3: but surprise, he's alive and well making eggs.
Speaker 1: They hug again, and maybe he's immortal. Out at sea,
Speaker 1: the Marie Rose is getting their net ready for it.
Speaker 1: Back out and see the Marie Rose. Let's let's kill
Speaker 1: some dolphins is getting it ready for a day at work.
Speaker 3: And lo and behold Enid, Basil and Jeffrey swim right
Speaker 3: up to the horrible net. On the beach, Susie and
Speaker 3: Rob play soccer as Adam and Vicki lounge under an umbrella.
Speaker 3: He's been trying to write her a poem, but he's
Speaker 3: thrown out every attempt. But the flirting comes to an
Speaker 3: abrupt stop when she senses something wrong in the water.
Speaker 3: And this is when I remembered, Oh, that's right, she
Speaker 3: can talk to dolphins. I genuinely forgot at this point.
Speaker 3: I guess it's not really an important part of the movie.
Speaker 3: She rushes to the ocean, closes her eyes, and realizes
Speaker 3: that Enid is trapped in the net. Struggling, Vicky announces
Speaker 3: her vision and Adam demands they call the harbormaster, but
Speaker 3: since she doesn't have any proof, she'll sound crazy. But
Speaker 3: she knows someone she can call, Zachary. He's with his
Speaker 3: dad helping with some business meetings on their yacht. She
Speaker 3: alerts him of the news and they immediately meet on
Speaker 3: the dive. Despite some tension between him and Adam, Zachary
Speaker 3: is ready to help. Vicky leads him to the water
Speaker 3: where Basil. There you go, where Basil is magically waiting,
Speaker 3: ready to lead the way. Zach's dad screams at him
Speaker 3: from the yacht get back on board and help. He
Speaker 3: looks at his dad, dead in the eyes and says,
Speaker 3: not today, dad, And we go.
Speaker 1: To a commercial. Yes, we go to a commercial literally
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. There's no commercial there, but they clearly
Speaker 1: just for this one part in the movie set up
Speaker 1: a yes. When we return the treo on the speedboat
Speaker 1: following Basil, who again is crazy cgi rendering or a
Speaker 1: model sized practical effect. I couldn't tell, but I know
Speaker 1: it can't be an actual dolphin. They eventually find Enid,
Speaker 1: who is frantically chirping, stuck with her baby Jeffrey, swimming
Speaker 1: outside the net Zachary spots the Marie Rose a mile away,
Speaker 1: and Adam reveals that if they start pulling in the net,
Speaker 1: Enid will die, so Vicky asks for Zachary's cell phone
Speaker 1: to alert the harbormaster. She has no other option, so
Speaker 1: she calls her grandfather for a favor, and just then
Speaker 1: the captain of the Marie Rose calls for the net.
Speaker 1: Since the net is miles long, they only have a
Speaker 1: few minutes tops before tragedy strikes and Enid is going
Speaker 1: to die.
Speaker 3: Vicky jumps into the water now in a race against
Speaker 3: the boat crew. Meanwhile, the harbor master is jumping into
Speaker 3: a speedboat to help. Vicky's grandfather asked the harbor master
Speaker 3: if he can go instead of just calling to save time,
Speaker 3: he asks if he can ride shotgun on the boat.
Speaker 3: Back at sea, Vicky is panicking while trying to free
Speaker 3: en It. The net is just too tangled. Adam grabs
Speaker 3: a toolbox and finds what he's looking for. They look
Speaker 3: like bolt cutters, which is strange how you don't have
Speaker 3: a knife on a boat. You should always have a
Speaker 3: knife on a boat. He jumps into the water to
Speaker 3: cut her loose, while Vicki telepathically encourages a dolphin to
Speaker 3: hold on again, the telepathy part always seems kind of secondary.
Speaker 3: And then the marine morose captain notices Zachary and his
Speaker 3: rescue attempt, but instead of stopping, he continues rolling in
Speaker 3: the net. Adam and Vicky is slowly progressing, but time
Speaker 3: is running out. With only seconds left, they finally free
Speaker 3: en It of the trap and she swims off with
Speaker 3: her family. The kids can only laugh until oh, Adams
Speaker 3: pulled underwater. He's now stuck in the net and being
Speaker 3: dragged by the ship Vicky pull Zachary pulls Vicki back
Speaker 3: into the speedboat, but not before Adam's leg is horribly
Speaker 3: ripped off, blood drips into the ocean, and he's surrounded
Speaker 3: by sharks.
Speaker 1: How that happens?
Speaker 2: Big, It's nightmare?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's nightmare of Sabrina. Happens. She's trying to This
Speaker 1: is Sabrina's nightmare. She's trying to save a dolphin from
Speaker 1: a thing. She gets caught in a net. Her leg
Speaker 1: is ripped off, and she's ripped apart by sharks. That's
Speaker 1: a very typical dream that most people have.
Speaker 3: Oh god, oh my yeah, zach pulls Vicki back into
Speaker 3: the speedboat takes off, trying to catch up to Adam,
Speaker 3: who's now underwater and lifeless, but first to the scene
Speaker 3: to help the Dolphin family. They nudge at him awake
Speaker 3: and immediately spots a bright ring of light and the
Speaker 3: return of a mermaid, Vicki, who finally frees him from
Speaker 3: the net. He pushes himself above the water to safety,
Speaker 3: and now the harbor master, flanked by Grandpa, spots the
Speaker 3: Marie Rose with its net in action. They caught them
Speaker 3: red handed. The boat captain knows that jig is up.
Speaker 3: Vicky and Grandpa wave to each other, trading pride in
Speaker 3: their actions. When they returned to the doc, Adam is
Speaker 3: deep in thought. Vicky knows the dolphin spoke to him too.
Speaker 3: He says it was just for a second. They told
Speaker 3: him to hold on, he had more to do. As
Speaker 3: the new couple holds hands, Zachary notices the extreame and he.
Speaker 1: Just looks both.
Speaker 3: Eventually, Grandfather brings Vicky home, where her brother and sister
Speaker 3: are related to see she's okay. As she tells him
Speaker 3: the story, Grandfather walks to his room. He needs a nap,
Speaker 3: and if you notice when he opens the door, he's
Speaker 3: met by a bright light. The next thing we see
Speaker 3: is Vicky writing in her journal that night. She writes,
Speaker 3: everything seems to have worked out perfectly, almost as if
Speaker 3: by some grand design. And the best part is there's
Speaker 3: no way Grandpa's going to die tonight, which is not
Speaker 3: something you write your journal unless you want to all
Speaker 3: the fall apart. Now done writing, Vicky makes her way
Speaker 3: to her grandfather's room and is greeted by his moaning.
Speaker 3: He calls her over to the bed and says it's
Speaker 3: his time. She blames herself for making him go out
Speaker 3: into the water, but he's so thankful. It was one
Speaker 3: of the greatest days of his life.
Speaker 1: You're shocked by this point this is happening, Sabrina.
Speaker 2: No, I mean, yeah, yes, a little bit like in
Speaker 2: the sense of I just thought I thought the movie
Speaker 2: would end at his funeral, not to go through this.
Speaker 1: No, they movie where they where they're milking every dramatic
Speaker 1: moment scene coming.
Speaker 3: Of course they did. He's a wonderful actor, so you
Speaker 3: might as well have the scene because he's very sure,
Speaker 3: so you might as well.
Speaker 2: I can't handle it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he says.
Speaker 3: It was one of the greatest days of his life.
Speaker 3: He tells her she has a wonderful gift, her special voice.
Speaker 3: He needs her to share it, and she promises she will.
Speaker 3: Then he dies very true.
Speaker 1: Vicky kisses his hand and sobs.
Speaker 3: The camera pulls out from the house and focuses on
Speaker 3: the stars with two shining very bright. The next morning,
Speaker 3: Vicky comes downstairs and notices something new. And this is
Speaker 3: all I thought, was like, Okay, so all these kids
Speaker 3: are in the house with a dead body for overnight, right, okay.
Speaker 3: And he also is like, Vicky, come here, I need
Speaker 3: to talk to you.
Speaker 1: I'm dying. Your brother and sister.
Speaker 2: Don't worry about that.
Speaker 1: I just need you to know, right. So yeah, I
Speaker 1: was like, wow, that's not good. Yes.
Speaker 3: The next morning, Vicky comes downstairs and notices something new
Speaker 3: on her grandfather's desk. It's an empty notebook titled The
Speaker 3: Collected Poems of Victoria Austin Volume two. The harbor master
Speaker 3: enters to announce the fairy has arrive. Their parents should
Speaker 3: be pulling in any minute. Vicki notices her little brother
Speaker 3: Rob morning on the patio. She joins him, and he asks,
Speaker 3: follow me here if she thinks there might be a
Speaker 3: planet where no one has eyes, and if there is,
Speaker 3: could they all get along? She guesses they compensate with
Speaker 3: their hearing, smell, and touch, but Rob worries they won't
Speaker 3: know what anything looks like. So when the people on
Speaker 3: that planet with no eyes die, they'll be sent to
Speaker 3: a planet where there are eyes, and as a result,
Speaker 3: maybe they'll get something new too, something important. Vicky rubs
Speaker 3: his head and tells him to lay off the acid.
Speaker 2: No, she doesn't, She goes, I think you're right.
Speaker 1: I think you're right. It's a that crazy.
Speaker 2: I had to rewatch it because I was like, did
Speaker 2: I miss? Did I miss?
Speaker 4: Nope? I watched it three times. I've watched a lot
Speaker 4: of D coms. Obviously, I don't understand the metaphor Am
Speaker 4: I missing?
Speaker 2: I didn't either. I'm like, Sabrita, you're just dense. It's cool.
Speaker 2: Just move on, will We'll explain.
Speaker 4: I mean, the Grandfather's not missing it, He's not He's
Speaker 4: not coming back to Earth.
Speaker 2: No, and there was there was no top. We didn't
Speaker 2: even get any real scenes with this character and the grandfather. No, like,
Speaker 2: there was no nothing to understand at all. It Wait,
Speaker 2: but why the hell this kid? Except for he is
Speaker 2: very traumatized. We need to immediately seek help for this
Speaker 2: kid because he is talking crazy. What are you talking about?
Speaker 2: No eyes?
Speaker 1: This was off, But he's high off bugs, that's what
Speaker 1: it is. He's he's crushing and smoking stick bugs or something.
Speaker 1: Because it was I did. I watched it several times myself,
Speaker 1: and I didn't. I don't. I don't get what they're
Speaker 1: trying to do. I didn't get what they were going for.
Speaker 1: So yeah, very strange.
Speaker 2: And I also was checking. I was like, God, this
Speaker 2: movie is God, do it, but we've got to be
Speaker 2: in one hundred and forty six minutes right now.
Speaker 1: Yep, I agreed.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Then a taxi pulls up.
Speaker 3: It's their parents, and the entire family embrace at the
Speaker 3: front door, and now the entire family with the harbor
Speaker 3: master waiting for the fairy. Adam shows up to return
Speaker 3: her first volume of poems and thank her for letting
Speaker 3: him read it.
Speaker 1: She also has talked to her mom and they agreed.
Speaker 3: She won't be going to that new rich kids school
Speaker 3: after all, and she's gonna submit her work to a
Speaker 3: lit magazine.
Speaker 1: Very nice. He tells her she'll make a great artist,
Speaker 1: and with tears in her eyes. Vicky tells him he'll
Speaker 1: be a great scientist. He reminds her that her grandfather
Speaker 1: always said that art and science function is one. She
Speaker 1: kisses him on the cheek To board the Fairy, He
Speaker 1: promises to write and she says she will too. And
Speaker 1: with that, the family, now with Grandpa's cat and dog
Speaker 1: in tow, return home. Zach never said goodbye to that guy?
Speaker 2: Rewound it again.
Speaker 1: Yep, what happened with Zach? Nothing?
Speaker 2: Kick rocks, buddy, Thanks for the boat.
Speaker 1: There you go exactly. Ah, he's rich. She'll be fine anyway.
Speaker 1: So who gets good? Thanks buddy, Yeah, thanks for the boat, chief.
Speaker 1: I hooked up with Adam in the back while you
Speaker 1: were driving home.
Speaker 2: Yep, sorry about that.
Speaker 3: That was ry not my best yikes. As the Fairy
Speaker 3: travels across the ocean, Vicky hears the words of the
Speaker 3: Henry Vaughan poem, now spoken by her grandfather. It mentions
Speaker 3: the great ring of endless light again, and we hear it.
Speaker 3: Vicky spot's the dolphin family swimming and jumping alongside the boat,
Speaker 3: because remember she can talk to dolphins. In case you forgot,
Speaker 3: we see the Ring of bright light one last time,
Speaker 3: and that's our movie.
Speaker 1: Real reviews. Can we do some real reviews? Sabrina, you
Speaker 1: got the five star this week? What do you do?
Speaker 2: I do another long one? Okay at the five star
Speaker 2: from Chrissy zero nine to eight. Yay, Dolphins.
Speaker 1: Five stars? That is it. I am the one star
Speaker 1: and mine is from Vince Kadenya Hope. I'm saying that right.
Speaker 1: It's worth noting here this movie has a lot of
Speaker 1: negative reviews, mostly from people who love the book and
Speaker 1: think the dcom did it no favors. So let's you know,
Speaker 1: the gist of ninety percent of the hate is that.
Speaker 1: But here we go to start out.
Speaker 3: It's an amazing technical achievement in the world of film.
Speaker 3: It's the Raging Bowl for two thousand and two. I've
Speaker 3: been waiting to see films like Gangs of New York
Speaker 3: and The Two Towers, but those will look like b
Speaker 3: movies compared to this film. From start to finish, we
Speaker 3: are grace with amazing cinematography done by Rodney Charters, photographer
Speaker 3: of Psycho for The New Beginning. The music is as
Speaker 3: good Ineo Morricone's score for Days of Heaven. The acting
Speaker 3: in this movie is some of the best I've ever
Speaker 3: seen reminiscent of Cassavetti's faces. If you haven't seen this
Speaker 3: film yet, do yourself a favor and check it out.
Speaker 3: This is a film that we studied in film schools
Speaker 3: for twenty years.
Speaker 1: One star. I think he was being sarcastic, yes is
Speaker 1: my guess. Yeah, very long, so long, joyously ironic review.
Speaker 2: You hated the movie, Vince, Did.
Speaker 1: You have a lot of time out a lot to
Speaker 1: talk about it?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 1: Yeah, eighty eight minutes. That felt like two hundred and
Speaker 1: forty minutes to do it.
Speaker 3: Here's our Sabrina's favorite part, and as you can tell,
Speaker 3: producer Jensen's here.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna live.
Speaker 3: This feature presentation is called does it have a Dolphin?
Speaker 3: Which again could be a weird euphemism.
Speaker 1: A ring of endless Light may be a typical romance,
Speaker 1: but it does include a bit of an afterthought story
Speaker 1: point that the main character can talk to dolphins. We
Speaker 1: will get names of movies and we have to decide
Speaker 1: if at any point of its run time there's a
Speaker 1: dolphin scene on screen. For example, Free Willie does include
Speaker 1: a dolphin, But that's an easy one, three out of
Speaker 1: five wins. So here's our first.
Speaker 4: One, I'm really setting myself up here for someone to
Speaker 4: email it and say that a dolphin passes in a scene.
Speaker 2: But I I didn't.
Speaker 4: I did a lot of research. I'm not saying I'm
Speaker 4: one hundred percent confident. I'm saying I'm like ninety two percent.
Speaker 1: Okay. Number One, Sharktail, I've never seen.
Speaker 2: I don't I've never seen it. Is it too obvious
Speaker 2: for Jensen to put shark tail and not have a dolphin?
Speaker 1: No, I think there's a dolphin in Sharktayale. That's my guest.
Speaker 2: I would think so too.
Speaker 1: It's animated, so I'm gonna say yes, yes in Sharktaiale.
Speaker 4: Don't email me there's no there's no dolphins. Ah, God,
Speaker 4: all right.
Speaker 3: Number two Spahire, I'm kidding. It's Sphere, of course, the
Speaker 3: based on the Michael Crichton novel where they are under
Speaker 3: the water.
Speaker 2: Oh they're underwater.
Speaker 1: See they're very deep.
Speaker 3: But at the end they come up to the surface,
Speaker 3: and I'm wondering, when they come up to the surface,
Speaker 3: there's a dolphin. I'm gonna say, yes, there is a
Speaker 3: dolphin Sphere.
Speaker 1: That's my guess.
Speaker 4: I'll go with no. Oh, yeah, there's a dolphins sphere.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, one for me.
Speaker 3: Number three Tomorrow Never Dies, great movie, James Bond, Pierce Brasman.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of it takes place in the water. Yes,
Speaker 1: there's a dolphins.
Speaker 4: There is a dolphin in that, James Bond.
Speaker 1: Yes. Number four part of the Caban. Uh do you
Speaker 1: think do you remember when in parts of the Caribbean?
Speaker 1: Oh wait, I think no, that was Orlando Bloom. No, yeah,
Speaker 1: no it was a dolphin. Orlando Bloom.
Speaker 4: She just got it.
Speaker 2: I don't think so.
Speaker 1: No, No, there's no dolphin in parts of the Caribbean.
Speaker 4: That wasn't Orlando Bloom. That was a dolphins.
Speaker 1: Ah damn what all right? So Sabrina has officially lost
Speaker 1: and I need one to win.
Speaker 2: But I do know that there's dolphins in Titanic.
Speaker 1: There are in Titanic. That's our last one is Titanick.
Speaker 1: I think it's during the scene.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's right, King of the World, that they're
Speaker 3: at the front of the boat. Yes, one hundred percent.
Speaker 4: Yes, there is absolutely no dolphin.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is at the front of the boat, out
Speaker 1: of the boat.
Speaker 4: Absolutely a bear Stein bears thing for you. They're there.
Speaker 4: Titanic didn't have dolphins, and it they bury.
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, I think I think Sabrina is right.
Speaker 3: I think there's a scene in Titanic where they're at
Speaker 3: the front of the boat.
Speaker 4: There is an animated movie of the Titanic called The
Speaker 4: Legend of Titanic that does have dolphins in it, But
Speaker 4: we know that's not what I'm referencing. I just googled it.
Speaker 2: There is, I'll send it in the chat.
Speaker 4: Yes, I had one wrong.
Speaker 2: Knowing we get two.
Speaker 3: Dolphins appear in a scene often believed to be CGI,
Speaker 3: swimming alongside the bow of the ship as it departs Damn.
Speaker 3: Though they are unlikely in the cold, deep North Atlantic
Speaker 3: where the real ship sank.
Speaker 1: They're nice that That's.
Speaker 4: Why I pushed towards the animated to look. But I
Speaker 4: will say I have made a mistake once before.
Speaker 1: We know that.
Speaker 4: When I did it in the three hundred episodes we've done, basically,
Speaker 4: I almost sensed I was going to be wrong on mony.
Speaker 2: So that's the only one, tough one, the only ones
Speaker 2: I did. They all all of these movies had had.
Speaker 1: No only first one except shark Tail.
Speaker 2: Except for shark Tail.
Speaker 4: Okay, God, which again could be could look just giant.
Speaker 1: Yes there is. I knew it. I knew there were dolphins. Er. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's in DiCaprio's contract. Any time it's in a movie,
Speaker 1: there needs to be dolphins. Everybody knows that.
Speaker 4: I mean, but the dolphin has to be under twenty
Speaker 4: seven years old.
Speaker 1: That dolphins too old. We gotta fire that dolphins out
Speaker 1: of here.
Speaker 2: It got crossty get it out of air?
Speaker 1: Can we does?
Speaker 2: Of course, there's a couple that actually, like I, you know,
Speaker 2: I have all my notes and I kind of put
Speaker 2: stars by things, and my uh, five star review was
Speaker 2: yay dolphins by Sabrina. Sabrina sees is yay Mermaid.
Speaker 1: All right, so you're the one writing mine.
Speaker 2: Actually that I that Jensen found for now and.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna call you Chrissy zero nine eight.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, okay. One of the things that struck me.
Speaker 2: And of course, you know, this is a different tone.
Speaker 2: But we'd never really seen like a sick character so
Speaker 2: much that they're like popping pills, like I have we
Speaker 2: seen somebody who's actually like really sick in the movies?
Speaker 1: No, because it's a d com, I know, So this
Speaker 1: was the point.
Speaker 2: These pills come out like very early on, Like we
Speaker 2: know that Grandpa six so early on?
Speaker 3: Is the second is the sequel to horse sense? Them
Speaker 3: just popping pills the whole time?
Speaker 2: Is that it might be we haven't watched that, right, Yeah?
Speaker 1: Jumping ship is that what that may be? Even maybe
Speaker 1: the ship they're jumping is filled with oxygon life or fetnyl.
Speaker 2: They're jumping his life, they're jumping out a nice nice Yikes. Again,
Speaker 2: the kids, I wish that I had a chance ask like,
Speaker 2: what is the age level these kids are supposed to be?
Speaker 2: Because it's very unclear?
Speaker 1: Can I make a guess? Can I make a guess?
Speaker 2: I think you should.
Speaker 3: I think that the boy is supposed to be about
Speaker 3: nine or ten. I think the middle character is supposed
Speaker 3: to be about eleven or twelve. Maybe the admission to
Speaker 3: em right, but you can get in if you're super smart.
Speaker 1: You can get into MIT when you're fourteen or fifteen, Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: I would I think the oldest sister's supposed to be
Speaker 1: about seventeen, sixteen or seventeen. That would be my guest
Speaker 1: for the agent. I could be wrong, but that would
Speaker 1: be my guest for the ages. So you never see
Speaker 1: her drive, but then again, you never see Ryan Merriman's
Speaker 1: character drive either, and it could just be that they're
Speaker 1: on an island. Yes, okay, yeah, it's tough.
Speaker 4: You never know.
Speaker 2: One thing that we didn't watch when she's having her
Speaker 2: dream of kissing the boys and she wakes up and
Speaker 2: she just pops out of bed her lights on.
Speaker 1: It's like, what till three she was sleeping it off?
Speaker 2: No her lights? It's dark at night. Oh and she
Speaker 2: has her light on. That always drives me crazy in movies. Like,
Speaker 2: I get they have to have light to see the actor,
Speaker 2: but like I hate when.
Speaker 1: They do that now just to play Devil's advocate. She's
Speaker 1: always up late reading and writing. Maybe she fell asleep
Speaker 1: so she's got the light on.
Speaker 4: Again.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to justify it.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay. We went past a very heated argument that
Speaker 2: I thought was so funny, and it made me feel
Speaker 2: like Adam is on the same level as Derinda seems
Speaker 2: to always be in thek since we watched that recently.
Speaker 2: She their their argument was when he's at dinner and
Speaker 2: she just can't understand why he can't think, you know
Speaker 2: of like again like the Mermaid situation, how come he
Speaker 2: can't just understand that, like it's not all about numbers
Speaker 2: and blah blah blah. And then when the officer comes
Speaker 2: in and Adam's like, oh, and he literally is like,
Speaker 2: you're not going to do anything. It's like he almost
Speaker 2: was like you're not even gonna challenge them to a
Speaker 2: dance contest, like you're just gonna let true.
Speaker 1: Oh he seems like she just wanted to fight.
Speaker 2: Yes, he played that character just like like I mean,
Speaker 2: he was a hot tomaly just just it.
Speaker 1: Ye.
Speaker 2: And then this happened and I I rewound it just
Speaker 2: four or five times, and I'm not even sure what
Speaker 2: he's actually supposed to say, but he says, it's it's
Speaker 2: literally one of the times where again you think he's
Speaker 2: going to grand grandfather is going to the room that
Speaker 2: he possibly might he's every time he left the room work,
Speaker 2: You're like, oh hell.
Speaker 1: Here it is pretty sure. It was like is he
Speaker 1: dead yet?
Speaker 4: It happened?
Speaker 1: Oh God, here we go.
Speaker 2: And then you're like, okay, not yet. But he says,
Speaker 2: all right, it's time I got to take these old
Speaker 2: and what I hear and I rowound it four times,
Speaker 2: I got to take these old balls to bed.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing.
Speaker 2: It says, all right, I gotta take these old balls
Speaker 2: to bed.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's what.
Speaker 2: And once word says take these old balls to bed,
Speaker 2: I don't even know.
Speaker 1: Phones old bones. I was giant.
Speaker 2: It was like I can't rewinding it, and like turning
Speaker 2: up the volume on my TV, brought my phone out,
Speaker 2: tried to listen to my phone. I'm like, no, he's
Speaker 2: saying old balls and nobody cares.
Speaker 1: Do you ever put on the captions? It would have
Speaker 1: told you what it was.
Speaker 2: Oh that I should have done that. No, I was
Speaker 2: just listening to my Yeah, and it wasn't necessarily the
Speaker 2: greatest movie we've watched, but let's find out fun to
Speaker 2: literally go through it. I love doing this because you
Speaker 2: find so much humor and you find like the good
Speaker 2: moments too. Of course, of course, watching all of us see.
Speaker 3: What we think about these movies, and we are coming
Speaker 3: to portion where we rate our film.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do, Yeah, let's do one to ten and
Speaker 1: then we'll make ten the highest. Okay, is what we're
Speaker 1: gonna do. And our options for this week. One out
Speaker 1: of ten Merriman Merman, one out of ten. Old people
Speaker 1: looking out at the ocean because they're dying.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: One of a ten dolphin whispers, one ten dolphin huggers,
Speaker 1: one at attend dolphin berths, one out of ten underwater
Speaker 1: dolphin kisses, insane nightclubs, stone high school conversations, planets with
Speaker 1: no eyes, and I'm gonna add old balls to bed?
Speaker 2: Can we do old balls? All right?
Speaker 1: I think I think it's my turn to go first
Speaker 1: this time. All right, Okay, I still don't know what
Speaker 1: I think about this movie. It made me either love
Speaker 1: Australia or hate it, love dolphins or hate them, love
Speaker 1: love itself or hate it. I don't know. It's just this.
Speaker 1: This to me was there's very This seemed like more
Speaker 1: like a Wonderful World of Disney after school special than
Speaker 1: it did a dcom. Yeah, like the it was very
Speaker 1: much again about death, and it's more about her which
Speaker 1: boy is she gonna pick? And it was literally like.
Speaker 3: Oh and oh yeah, she also speaks to dolphins, So
Speaker 3: it was the tone was not very d calm for me.
Speaker 3: I also frankly didn't think it looked particularly good at times.
Speaker 3: I mean again, it looked you have this backdrop, but
Speaker 3: you've got that bad cgi And but that.
Speaker 1: Being said, the cast is great, you know, a very
Speaker 1: good cast all the way around. I understand what they
Speaker 1: were doing, and maybe there's maybe it's my fault, and
Speaker 1: there's there should be room in a dcom in the
Speaker 1: dcom world for one of these Nicholas Sparks kind of movies,
Speaker 1: which is this is what this was.
Speaker 3: This was the fault and the stars are one of
Speaker 3: these kind of things, which again are not decomming.
Speaker 1: So I'm going straight up down the middle. This is
Speaker 1: gonna be five old man balls. Oh no, because I
Speaker 1: don't think it's great. I don't think it's good. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's bad, and frankly I think I need
Speaker 1: to watch it again. I truly I could be giving
Speaker 1: this an incredibly harsh score. I could be giving this
Speaker 1: an incredibly generous score. I really do not know with
Speaker 1: this movie. The things I do know great cast, Yes,
Speaker 1: felt very long, even though it wasn't right at times, was.
Speaker 3: Dragging and boring, bad CGI, good messaging m h so,
Speaker 3: and there were some gems in there with like you know,
Speaker 3: the old the Grandfather throwing out some really great pearls
Speaker 3: of wisdom.
Speaker 1: So I truly I am stumped with this movie. I
Speaker 1: truly do not know.
Speaker 3: I am taking the middle route again. Everybody who says
Speaker 3: to me, you scored this way too low, You're probably right.
Speaker 3: Everybody says to me, you scored this way too high,
Speaker 3: You're probably right.
Speaker 1: I just don't know with this movie. So I am
Speaker 1: gonna grab five old man balls and hold on to
Speaker 1: those whole balls. Five old balls to bed, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna caress them gently. How about you, Sabrina, what do
Speaker 1: you got? Oh man?
Speaker 2: Okay? So I am on that same sentiment because, like
Speaker 2: you said at the very beginning of the episode, this
Speaker 2: kind of storyline and this tone gears more towards, you know,
Speaker 2: like the teenage girl. So I can absolutely see why
Speaker 2: teenagers during this time this movie came out probably loved
Speaker 2: this movie. They probably appreciated having more of that you
Speaker 2: know love and that tone of like, you know, having
Speaker 2: to go through something this epic, things like that. So
Speaker 2: part of me was geared towards that because I do
Speaker 2: love kind of tapping into the nostalgia aspect of being
Speaker 2: that age. And how would this movie have hit me
Speaker 2: since this is my first time seeing it? Sure, how
Speaker 2: would I have seen it through my eyes as like
Speaker 2: a thirteen year old. But there were moments that felt
Speaker 2: really slow to me. And again, and I've said it
Speaker 2: three or four times now, I don't come to the
Speaker 2: Disney Channel you saying it was like a wonderful World
Speaker 2: of Disney movie or an AVC movie. I would have
Speaker 2: a different expectation. So for me, with the Disney Channel
Speaker 2: dcom idea, it's a little too sad. I probably wouldn't
Speaker 2: have gotten there had we skipped to just a funeral.
Speaker 2: But actually having to watch this episode was like, oh,
Speaker 2: I was crying. I wasn't ready for a cry. I mean,
Speaker 2: We're talking about mermaids and dolphins and now I've got
Speaker 2: to cry.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 2: So it just bun me a little bit too too
Speaker 2: much in the wrong direction. So I'm giving it a
Speaker 2: lower score than I normally do. Although again, the cast
Speaker 2: was so good. I was excited to see all of
Speaker 2: the scarlet Misha Ryan, I mean, all of these great
Speaker 2: great actors you know when they were younger, now loving
Speaker 2: them as older actors. It's just great. Anyway, this is
Speaker 2: a six point five old balls to bed for me.
Speaker 1: Six point five of them. Six point five God, that's five.
Speaker 1: That's three and a half dudes. Wow, that's amazing.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, truly, I just you know, yeah, I
Speaker 2: wanted to I think the dragging of me into that,
Speaker 2: but that's not the kind of movie I'm wanting to
Speaker 2: watch on the channel. There are other people that would
Speaker 2: be stoked to see this kind of tone, you know,
Speaker 2: So we'll see. I get it, all right, let us
Speaker 2: know in the comments, guys, Yeah, what did you think?
