Speaker 1: Hi, Sabrina, Hey Will, were you excited for this one?
Speaker 2: I got my new Dott Hawaiian shirt. The journeys do.
Speaker 1: Of course, you need to have one to party during
Speaker 1: the day and one to party at night. Everybody knows
Speaker 1: that about shirts.
Speaker 2: True, that's true.
Speaker 1: But I know you were such a fan of the
Speaker 1: first one.
Speaker 2: I know, and I'm I was nervous. I was nervous, Okay,
Speaker 2: nervous going into it.
Speaker 1: I was nervous going in and let I leave it
Speaker 1: at that. I was.
Speaker 2: I was so nervous because I'm like, you know, this
Speaker 2: is this is my top three, this is my Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 2: You know, of of the the d coms for me.
Speaker 2: You know this, you know, and we all know a
Speaker 2: second one doesn't doesn't always mean it's as good or
Speaker 2: better or the same, you know. I just I was nervous,
Speaker 2: especially because you know, I love myself some Brandon.
Speaker 1: Banks, I know, I know we all do, and he's
Speaker 1: friend of the show. So we'll get into it.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: First of all, right, welcome back to Magical Rewind, the
Speaker 1: show that makes you want to grab your friends, your
Speaker 1: PJS and your popcorn and go back to a time
Speaker 1: when all the houses were smart. The Waves Tsunami's two suit.
Speaker 1: I just did there, Yeah, and I said, how's it smart?
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show. I'm Will for Dell.
Speaker 2: And I'm Sabrina Brian.
Speaker 1: Aloha, Aloha aloha. Yes, it is time to surf the
Speaker 1: turf and take on a longboarded, long requested sequel. We're
Speaker 1: trading in the waves for dirt to watch the two
Speaker 1: thousand and seven sequel to Johnny Tsunami, now with a
Speaker 1: more fitting title, Johnny Kappahala back on board. Okay, so
Speaker 1: we talked about I'm not even gonna get into it yet.
Speaker 1: We're back here, we are, we're doing some sequels. We've
Speaker 1: been here a while. But this was when I was
Speaker 1: nervous for you because for our producers this would be
Speaker 1: like we did double Teamed two. So I, uh, what
Speaker 1: I like.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's quite as fair.
Speaker 1: You loved it.
Speaker 2: You loved it, but it's because it was a great movie.
Speaker 1: It was a great movie. It was a great movie.
Speaker 1: Double two so much. This movie debuted on the Disney
Speaker 1: Channel June eighth, two thousand and seven, a whopping eight
Speaker 1: years after the original. Talk about striking while the iron
Speaker 1: is cold, That is quite a down period for the series.
Speaker 1: You have to wonder if kids watching the channel in
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven even knew the first movie existed.
Speaker 1: I mean again, that's the thing about Disney Channel eight
Speaker 1: years later, if you watched it even at eight, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're probably still not watching Disney Channel at sixteen. Maybe,
Speaker 1: but probably not. It's very niche, so much.
Speaker 2: A new generation that have their eyes on this now franchise.
Speaker 1: So that's probably why they didn't call it Johnny Tsunami two,
Speaker 1: because there was no recognition. Furthering that point, John Kapahaala
Speaker 1: Back on Board brought in only one point eight million viewers,
Speaker 1: which is a very disappointing number for the era. Keep
Speaker 1: in mind in two thousand and seven, that same year,
Speaker 1: Twitch Is to this time It's Personal brought in about
Speaker 1: seven million viewers, and High School Musical two broke every
Speaker 1: record of the world possible with seventeen point two million,
Speaker 1: So one point eight million. It was like I watched
Speaker 1: it by myself. Now, though the movie's essence is based
Speaker 1: in Hawaii, it was actually shot in New Zealand, more
Speaker 1: specifically West Auckland. This is a trade we've seen before
Speaker 1: and a common move by d Coom's looking, you know,
Speaker 1: for Hawaii, so for some reason they go to a
Speaker 1: much farther away place. It has to be a money thing,
Speaker 1: it has.
Speaker 2: Absolutely dan it's want to become our new Toronto.
Speaker 1: To be honest, it exactly we've got. Now we've got
Speaker 1: to add a New Zealand to the mix. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we need a three sided coin, which I don't know
Speaker 1: if we're gonna be able to find. And we should
Speaker 1: address the elephant in the room right now. The movie
Speaker 1: is not about surfing, that's right. This movie, a sequel
Speaker 1: to a film about surfing, is about mountain boarding.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Had you ever heard of mountain boarding before this movie?
Speaker 2: I hadn't. I hadn't.
Speaker 1: Well, it was really popular for this one month in
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven.
Speaker 2: I don't know why. Though it was coolist. This was
Speaker 2: the coolest looking I was like, wow, so dangerous.
Speaker 1: Kind of disagree. Really, yes, part of it looks cool,
Speaker 1: But then when the boards attached your feet, they could
Speaker 1: do one trick move, they could spend okay, like you're
Speaker 1: on a skateboard, you could do a whole bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1: I guess if you're in a pipe you can do
Speaker 1: the same. I guess if you get really good, you
Speaker 1: could do the same stuff you do on a snowboard
Speaker 1: because you're attached to a snowboarding Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I guess to me it was an annie up
Speaker 2: because it looked so much more dangerous than snowboarding in
Speaker 2: the sense that like rocks and just like the snow
Speaker 2: at least, especially if you're not going off terrain like
Speaker 2: in the in the snow, you're not going off the path.
Speaker 2: That's kind of what is it groomed right, and you
Speaker 2: go into like the woody wood area of the snowboarding, stop,
Speaker 2: get that's scary. But this was like, there's no way
Speaker 2: to groom it. That was literally just like go find
Speaker 2: a mountain. Yeah, find the ditches in the mountain. Don't
Speaker 2: find them, hit them correctly, don't hit them.
Speaker 1: This was dangerous, Yeah, super dangerous. I guess you're right.
Speaker 1: I guess you're right. If you if you like snowboarding,
Speaker 1: this would be a natural progression you could kind of
Speaker 1: do it. But they tried this with skiing too. They
Speaker 1: tried land skiing in like the eighties, and it just
Speaker 1: never worked.
Speaker 2: So I have anywhere that it's a fine video of that because.
Speaker 1: You do it's really funny because their shorts and everything,
Speaker 1: like we're land skiing, and it just didn't look good
Speaker 1: the entire cast. By the way, I had to learn
Speaker 1: how to mountain board, which is no easy task, but
Speaker 1: the movie employed some mountain board experts to not only
Speaker 1: help but double for jumps and stunts. We've got a
Speaker 1: Cony Kama who was the main consultant, Leon Robbins, Cody Stewart,
Speaker 1: Jared Cronin, Ryan Slater, Ben Toolman, and Joe Lowry, who
Speaker 1: of course are all household mountain boarding names if you
Speaker 1: ask me. The dcom also got a home video and
Speaker 1: DVD released something that was more successful than the lousy
Speaker 1: premiere just a few months after the airing on October ninth. Now,
Speaker 1: without spoiling your thoughts on the movie, do you still
Speaker 1: wish it was about surfing because it was such an
Speaker 1: important part of the first movie? Yes, me too. Why
Speaker 1: would you not do this about surfing.
Speaker 2: Even if we could have just gotten a couple more
Speaker 2: surfing moments? Just just I really felt that was lacking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I felt exactly the same way as you did, surf.
Speaker 2: Make it about surfing, especially knowing the one thing that
Speaker 2: I did know that about this movie was it was
Speaker 2: It was filmed in New Zealand. Yeah, because I and
Speaker 2: I told us yeah, now back on board. So it
Speaker 2: was a little bit like I was waiting for it
Speaker 2: to happen and it just never did.
Speaker 1: No, I did. It's Johnny Sunami too. It's about crocheting,
Speaker 1: like wait what So now, musically this sequel did feel
Speaker 1: more Disney Channel than maybe the actual movie did. The
Speaker 1: soundtrack feature the one and only Joe Bros. Who were
Speaker 1: signed to Hollywood Records at the time. The song hold
Speaker 1: On from their two thousand and seven self titled album,
Speaker 1: and it was used in a montage and I'm sure
Speaker 1: most of our producers sang along with it the second
Speaker 1: it came on. We also hear plain White teas of
Speaker 1: Hey there, Delilah fame and music from two bands we
Speaker 1: know nothing about, Wide Awake and Dark Black T Shirt,
Speaker 1: which was I'm kidding, that's not that was a joke.
Speaker 1: T Squad is the other one worth noting here. One
Speaker 1: of the members of T Squad was Boo Boo Stewart,
Speaker 1: who would later see as Jay in the Descendants franchise.
Speaker 1: So it all comes back around and despite the rough reception,
Speaker 1: Johnny Kapahaala Back on Board did win two awards, the
Speaker 1: Humanities Prize for Children's Live Action and Award. The original
Speaker 1: movie was nominated for but didn't win, and it's weird
Speaker 1: that that didn't. The first one didn't win, but this
Speaker 1: one did, and it won the WGA Award for Children's
Speaker 1: Long Form Script. It also won the award for only
Speaker 1: mountain boarding movie ever made. I think it would be
Speaker 1: safe to say that we're not talking out of school.
Speaker 1: Johnny Appalla is negatively received, especially when you take into
Speaker 1: consideration that the original film is considered a absolute dcom classic.
Speaker 1: We all loved it. Great movie. Okay, so obviously both
Speaker 1: us knew this movie existed. We've been giddy about it
Speaker 1: for quite some time. So let's just take some time
Speaker 1: to remind you that we interviewed the star of the
Speaker 1: original Johnny Tsunami and this movie, Brandon Baker, right here
Speaker 1: on Magical Rewind. Just search for us in any streaming
Speaker 1: service and hear all the memories just shooting the first film,
Speaker 1: what it was like. He's so cool, We loved him,
Speaker 1: friend of the show. He's undoubtedly going to be knighted
Speaker 1: at some point by us. He is great and he
Speaker 1: can marry you. Yes, like me. He is an ordained
Speaker 1: minister if you.
Speaker 2: Are looking for minister, or an ordained minister in Colorado.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Or he'll travel because he's got to travel. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got boards so he can come. Now it's time
Speaker 1: to don your dirt devil's uniform and get to thrashing.
Speaker 1: Because here's the synopsis. Back in Hawaii, it's New Zealand.
Speaker 1: For his grandfather's wedding, Johnnykappihala meets his new twelve year
Speaker 1: old uncle Chris, a rebellious mountain border who starts an
Speaker 1: all out turf four and leads everyone into competition to
Speaker 1: save the family business. Ooh, a lot going on there, Sabrina.
Speaker 1: It's time to face the music. Early thoughts, Johnny Cappahalla
Speaker 1: back on board. What did you think of the movie?
Speaker 2: You know, I again, this one hundred percent for me
Speaker 2: was one of those movies I laid into the nostalgia
Speaker 2: of the first movie. I had not seen it, and
Speaker 2: I was just positively watching this and thinking great thoughts.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: I was like it was one of those movies where
Speaker 2: if it wasn't horrific, I was gonna love it. If
Speaker 2: it wasn't just that awful, awful, terrible, so many holes. Like,
Speaker 2: if it wasn't super terrible, I was gonna love it.
Speaker 2: And that's where I stand.
Speaker 1: Okay, this this was how you will. This was not
Speaker 1: a good movie. Oh this was not Come on, this
Speaker 1: was come on this. First of all, Brandon Baker awesome,
Speaker 1: can do no wrong. He was phenomenal in the first movie.
Speaker 1: He was phenomenal in the second movie. Most of the
Speaker 1: cast was good. Yes, the little kid was not really
Speaker 1: Oh god. First of all, the character was annoying. It
Speaker 1: you just wanted the character.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: That was the thing about the first movie was they
Speaker 1: took so they were supposed to. In my head, the
Speaker 1: way they pitched this movie was, we want to give
Speaker 1: Brandon Baker's character his own version of himself when he
Speaker 1: was a kid, somebody who's moved out of everything. He knows,
Speaker 1: he's really struggling with it. He is kind of condemnmentor
Speaker 1: the guy, and then he finds this new niche thing.
Speaker 1: In this case, it's mountain boarding. They didn't do that
Speaker 1: at all, because the thing we loved about the first
Speaker 1: one was no matter what situation you put him in,
Speaker 1: he was super nice. He was he was sharing his
Speaker 1: magazine with the belize it. He was positive, he was
Speaker 1: having great time. This kid was such a little that
Speaker 1: I wanted him to fall down the gorge. I hated him.
Speaker 1: Not only that, but the actor was smiling and laughing
Speaker 1: through every scene he was in, which took me right
Speaker 1: out of the movie. Like he's trying to say his lines,
Speaker 1: but he's got a smile on his face, ers trying
Speaker 1: to make it look like it was just And I
Speaker 1: know we've seen him in other things that he was better.
Speaker 1: He was not good in this movie, and it took
Speaker 1: me right out of the film. So the acting wasn't
Speaker 1: good for the little kid and the character. I hate it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the character was not a likable character in any sense.
Speaker 2: Even no, even towards the end, I wasn't really necessarily
Speaker 2: happy that I worked out, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: For it, it makes no sense. The race at the
Speaker 1: end is unmotivated. It makes no sense. We're racing to
Speaker 1: see which one of us can sell these boards in
Speaker 1: a store. I mean, none of this made sense to me,
Speaker 1: and it hurt my heart because I loved the first one.
Speaker 1: I love Brandon Baker, He's amazing. The grandfather everybody. I
Speaker 1: was so happy to see them all back, and then
Speaker 1: they kind of I don't blame them for it. They
Speaker 1: did this with the story and I was not a fan.
Speaker 1: But anyway, we'll get into that. The director was Eric Bross,
Speaker 1: a new name to the podcast at the time. Bross
Speaker 1: had recently come off a big TV movie, Martha Behind Bars,
Speaker 1: starring Sybil Shepherd as Martha Stewart in her big tax
Speaker 1: fraud court case. Fun fact, my uncle Bobby was her lawyer.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my dad's best friend. He also he's gone now,
Speaker 1: but Bob Morvillo great guy. He also directed the movie
Speaker 1: On the Line, starring Lance Bass and featuring a cameo
Speaker 1: from nineties wrestler China. Brosse is still working, most recently
Speaker 1: directing a Hallmark movie called Rome in Love, a twenty
Speaker 1: thirteen Lifetime film featuring Dolllly Parton called A Country Christmas Story,
Speaker 1: and a twenty twelve Blue Lagoon reboot called The Awakening.
Speaker 1: And like we mentioned, Brandon Baker the Man himself returns
Speaker 1: now eight years older and basically a grown adult. He
Speaker 1: stepped right back into the shoes of Johnny Coppa Halla,
Speaker 1: the main character, even though the original movie was called
Speaker 1: Johnny Ssunami, his grandfather's nickname, and that's not the only
Speaker 1: controversy with the name. You may remember, the spelling of
Speaker 1: Kappahala is very confusing. In the title it was one pee,
Speaker 1: but in the credits two peas. Get it together, Disney.
Speaker 1: This is one of Disney's biggest mysteries. Brandon, of course,
Speaker 1: got his big break at twelve years old when he
Speaker 1: played Mowgli in the straight to video Disney seequ To
Speaker 1: the Jungle Book Mowgli's Story. Baker was also seen in
Speaker 1: Even Stevens, The Proud Family, and Boston Public Like we said,
Speaker 1: don't be a chicken. Let Brandon marry you. He's an
Speaker 1: awesome dude and he's welcome here anytime. He was great
Speaker 1: in this movie and the New Disney Channel generation is
Speaker 1: represented by Jake T. Austen. He plays step uncle Chris
Speaker 1: and this was a rough one for me. It is
Speaker 1: best known as Max Russo on Wizards of Waverley Place,
Speaker 1: where he was great. He was a Channel favorite, bringing
Speaker 1: his character to the show's eventual d com and The
Speaker 1: Sweet Life on Deck. He is also the voice of
Speaker 1: Diego in the Door of the Explorer Universe and Fernando
Speaker 1: and Rio and Rio two. He's a very good actor.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of very good actors that sometimes don't
Speaker 1: work with the right people, the right director, the right whatever,
Speaker 1: and sometimes the performance isn't great, and this one needed
Speaker 1: some work. Kerry Hero Yuki Tagawa also returns as the
Speaker 1: big guy himself, Johnny Tsunami. Tigawa was a cult favorite
Speaker 1: character actor, mostly because he played Shang Sung in the
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five Mortal Kombat movie Mortal Combat, great movie
Speaker 1: and most of the video game since, and he appeared
Speaker 1: in movies like Double seven, License to Kill, two thousand
Speaker 1: and one's Planet of the Apes, and most famously, the
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty seven critically beloved film The Last Emperor. In
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, he had a nice return to TV as
Speaker 1: I hope I don't apologize if I butcher this name,
Speaker 1: Nobusuke Tagomi. I believe it is how you say it
Speaker 1: in the TV show The Man in the High Castle.
Speaker 1: But very sadly and such a big loss for Hollywood.
Speaker 1: He passed away last year at the age of seventy five,
Speaker 1: and that one seriously hurt my heart. Another former Magical
Speaker 1: rewind guest and friend of the podcast, Robin Lively plays Karla,
Speaker 1: the much younger future bride of Johnny Tsunami. She was
Speaker 1: not in the original movie and was a real get
Speaker 1: for Disney. Honestly, we spoke to her on this podcast
Speaker 1: for another Disney Channel original movie, The Legend. It's I'm
Speaker 1: saying it. I'm saying it with a smile. I always
Speaker 1: do buzz Bucket, that's right. Lively was an always busy
Speaker 1: young actor, appearing in Wildcats, Karate Kid Part Three, Chicago Hope,
Speaker 1: and the cult classic Teen Witch. So take that.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 1: She continues to act on shows like nine to one one,
Speaker 1: Lone Star, Cobra Kai, where she revisited her Karate Kid,
Speaker 1: The Good Doctor, The Bad Doctor, The Okay Doctor, and
Speaker 1: she's now shown up on one of TV's biggest hits, Landman.
Speaker 1: She's also married to the great Bart Johnson of High
Speaker 1: School Musical fame. He's a large man in Person two
Speaker 1: and he interviewed him and we released his podcast right
Speaker 1: here on this very feet. And Lively wasn't the only
Speaker 1: Karate Kid alum in this movie. We have ug Okamoto
Speaker 1: returning as the dad Pete Kapahala. Okamoto was in a
Speaker 1: bunch of classic eighty movies. Okay, I'm just gonna list
Speaker 1: these movies, and this might as well be called Will's
Speaker 1: greatest hits of all time because they're awesome movies like
Speaker 1: Real Genius, Karate Kid two, and my favorite of all time,
Speaker 1: Better Off Dead? Uh where he played? Please tell me
Speaker 1: you've seen Better Off Dead? Oh my god, Sabrina. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: it's phenomenal. He plays one of two drivers and he
Speaker 1: just talks like Howard Cosell drag racing with a young
Speaker 1: John Kusack every time they appear at the same stoplight.
Speaker 1: He would also return to his karate kid roots on
Speaker 1: Cobra Kai for almost twenty five episodes and appeared in
Speaker 1: the movies Inception in Pearl Harbor and Man, do I
Speaker 1: want to talk to him? Okay, all this karate kid
Speaker 1: talk is maybe one a roundhouse kick. Anyone who likes
Speaker 1: movies longer than ninety minutes. We all know that's the
Speaker 1: target we're looking for when it comes to lengthy our
Speaker 1: magical rewind people. So let's see what Johnny Kappahala back
Speaker 1: near the board, near your board, all about the board
Speaker 1: came in at it's ninety minutes, ring the barrel call
Speaker 1: the authorities. We have hit the target people. I'd like
Speaker 1: to thank the cast and crew, but really it's all
Speaker 1: cousin me ninety minutes. People, You're welcome. We actually speaking
Speaker 1: of the team. We have four writers on this movie,
Speaker 1: which is a real team effort. There's Annie Deyung. Her
Speaker 1: career started on Honey I Shrunk the Kids, the TV show,
Speaker 1: and she was behind a few dcom's, Returned to Halloween Town,
Speaker 1: the recently reviewed Princess Protection Program, Starstruck, and twenty fourteen's
Speaker 1: Girl Versus Monster, which I think was her last credit
Speaker 1: on IMV. And we have Max Ensko. Max was Annie's
Speaker 1: writing partner on a lot of projects, including Return to
Speaker 1: Halloween Town and another one called The Ron Clark Story
Speaker 1: starring Matthew Perry. His last credit was also in twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1: And then there's Anne Austin, who wrote the original movie.
Speaker 1: She was a Power Rangers VET of almost ten years.
Speaker 1: She's been engulfed in the animated Barbie universe as a
Speaker 1: head writer and producer. I am in the New Barbie Show,
Speaker 1: so I may have worked with Ann, and another Power
Speaker 1: Rangers writer teamed up with her on both this movie
Speaker 1: and the original. His name is Douglas Sloan. He also
Speaker 1: wrote the d com Motocross and in addition to also
Speaker 1: joining Ann on some newer Barbie projects, he writes on
Speaker 1: all the How to Train Your Dragon TV projects, which
Speaker 1: is one of my favorite series of all time, How
Speaker 1: to Train Your Dreaming. That's awesome. Okay, so now the
Speaker 1: shop is opening soon, it's time to destroy the dirt
Speaker 1: devils and get into Johnny Cappahala back on board. We
Speaker 1: open on a snowy hilltop as our hero Johnny Cappahala
Speaker 1: is prepping the snowboard and reminds the audience all about
Speaker 1: who he is. He realizes ninety percent of the viewers
Speaker 1: have forgotten the details of the movie they watched eight
Speaker 1: years ago or never saw in the first place. So
Speaker 1: let's just consider this a very needed re establishing shot.
Speaker 1: Kappahola moved from sunny Hawaii to snowy Vermont and traded
Speaker 1: the surfboard for a snowboard. Then it's revealed that he's
Speaker 1: on the edge of a cliff hundreds of feet above
Speaker 1: the ground. He's teetering off the edge, flirting with death.
Speaker 1: He eventually loses his balance and rockets to his death.
Speaker 1: Screaming the whole way down, but instead of crashing head first,
Speaker 1: we transition to a sunny beach. Kappahla is now surfing
Speaker 1: on a surfboard, still in a heavy jacket in winter gear.
Speaker 1: He wipes out and we hear someone calling his name.
Speaker 1: He wakes up in the back of the car sweating.
Speaker 1: He was, of course having a nightmare. His parents are
Speaker 1: driving and they're back in Hawaii for his grandpa, Johnny
Speaker 1: Tsunami's wedding. They're excited to be back, but it's a
Speaker 1: little weird because he hasn't met the fiance, Carla, And
Speaker 1: the even bigger issue is she has a mysterious son
Speaker 1: named Chris. So now Johnny's dad has a brother, I guess,
Speaker 1: and John and he has a new uncle. That's all
Speaker 1: we know at this point. He has an uncle. Johnny's
Speaker 1: parents plan on staying in the city for a few days,
Speaker 1: so they've set up a ride for Johnny to get
Speaker 1: to his grandpa's early and it's his buddy Sam from
Speaker 1: the first movie, somebody you definitely don't remember at all
Speaker 1: because we don't remember him, and we got paid to
Speaker 1: watch this movie recently, So did you remember Sam?
Speaker 2: Sam? Was this was a recast?
Speaker 1: Was originally the military guy? Yes, yes, but this wasn't
Speaker 1: the same actor. No, Well, then I do remember the character.
Speaker 1: I thought he was a different the character.
Speaker 2: It just the recast looks nothing like the original.
Speaker 1: The Thompson Young was awesome in that movie. Maybe he
Speaker 1: just didn't want to do it.
Speaker 2: I'm assuming. I'm assuming that's what it was.
Speaker 1: The other thing he literally, other than the Batmobile, that
Speaker 1: might be the coolest car I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 1: I okay, such a great car. It's a jeep. I
Speaker 1: think I.
Speaker 2: Didn't even like cut to ask Jordan because Jordan loves
Speaker 2: cars too. To ask, I was like, I'm gonna wait
Speaker 2: because I know Will's gonna love this car. Was it
Speaker 2: because it's similar to looking to like a Bronco that
Speaker 2: they have nowadays, like when people take off the whole
Speaker 2: top of the Broncos.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's was a stretched out Jeep. But
Speaker 1: I don't I don't normally like red cars, but that
Speaker 1: red and orange combo the doors and everything off.
Speaker 2: Oh is this sit car? It was very close and
Speaker 2: that's one of my favorite things when I'm at like
Speaker 2: in Hawaii and you're driving into it from the airport,
Speaker 2: and you're seeing so many people on these jeeps with
Speaker 2: the tops off and like hanging out, like, oh, it's
Speaker 2: so cool.
Speaker 1: It was it was great. So anyway, Johnny is very
Speaker 1: excited to see the new guy playing his old friend
Speaker 1: who was living in Iceland for the last four years,
Speaker 1: but just move back. They drive off to a Tsunamis
Speaker 1: for the big weekend, but run into some bad ass
Speaker 1: on the way that kind of looked like skateboarders, but
Speaker 1: that they were also stuck in the matrix. The boards
Speaker 1: are longer and they look like they're all wearing white T. K.
Speaker 1: Oakley sunes. Johnny is intrigued by this new alien sport. Eventually,
Speaker 1: Sam gets to a Tsunamis, which is now a beautiful
Speaker 1: modern paradise. It's gorgeous. In the first movie, you sort
Speaker 1: of lived a bit like a pig, but apparently in
Speaker 1: the last eight years he got really into HGTV programming
Speaker 1: and did some new construction. I guess because it's the
Speaker 1: home is nice Noah's home, and Johnny is shocked to
Speaker 1: see his old room is still a messy boys bedroom,
Speaker 1: but with none of his things, so we still don't
Speaker 1: know what's going on. A little weird. Meanwhile, we see
Speaker 1: a young little white kid surfing, wiping out over and
Speaker 1: over and over again. He quickly gets up and walks
Speaker 1: back to the beach. He thinks surfing is stupid and
Speaker 1: complains to what appears to be his teacher, an older
Speaker 1: man and a hat who is Johnny Tsunami. Welcome back, buddy,
Speaker 1: it's good to see you again. The little brat hoffs
Speaker 1: his way off to the sand. He's such a little
Speaker 1: as Coppahla and his grandpa, now with a new short
Speaker 1: hair vibe, lovingly reunite and it was nice to see
Speaker 1: them back together again. Back at the house, Tsunami meets Carla,
Speaker 1: is about to be grandma, who is younger than his mom,
Speaker 1: and the issue of age in this movie is a
Speaker 1: little confusing. Am I right? Yes, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: are they called May December romances? There's quite a quite
Speaker 1: a lot of weird age stuff in this movie. Well,
Speaker 1: either way, Carla is very pretty and much younger. She's
Speaker 1: Robin Lively who seems very much in love with Johnny
Speaker 1: Tsunami and made Holy hooly chicken for dinner. Have you
Speaker 1: ever had houy hooly chicken? Do you do we know
Speaker 1: what Joly Hooly Chicken is?
Speaker 2: I want to have no idea what it is.
Speaker 1: I want it.
Speaker 2: I'm down to try it. I'm down to try it.
Speaker 1: I am too. I saw the funniest reel this morning
Speaker 1: where a guy just looks into the camera and said,
Speaker 1: nobody told me that adult life is basically just trying
Speaker 1: to figure out what to do with ground beef and
Speaker 1: chicken every night for the rest of your life, which
Speaker 1: is absolutely what it is. So July Hooly Chicken, love it.
Speaker 1: Let's figure. Carla says that she rented a house down
Speaker 1: the street, but it's small, so her son, this Chris.
Speaker 1: Everyone is so concerned about lives at Johnny Tsunami's. She
Speaker 1: hopes that's okay. Kappa Holla says he's actually excited to
Speaker 1: meet Chris. He's never had an uncle before and usually
Speaker 1: relates well to adults, but that pouting little comes back
Speaker 1: from the surf lesson and stomping down the stairs. This
Speaker 1: is Chris. He is a twelve year old uncle. Because
Speaker 1: this movie is a mess when it comes to age
Speaker 1: appropriate relationships, Tsunami takes Kapa Halla to meet Uncle Chris,
Speaker 1: who's playing video games in his room and Chris barely
Speaker 1: pays attention. Keep this in mind, because eventually he grows
Speaker 1: as a character. No, it doesn't grow at all. He's
Speaker 1: always in it. Later on, the two Johnny's regroup outside
Speaker 1: to talk about dealing with Chris Kappahala. Everybody's optimistic though,
Speaker 1: that the two boys will to get along eventually either way.
Speaker 1: Tsunami is so happy his grandson has come back for
Speaker 1: his big day. But later, when Coppa Hala wants to
Speaker 1: catch some waves, Tsunami doesn't have time. And that's weird
Speaker 1: in itself because he never says no to surfing. But
Speaker 1: he is a big day of important business to take
Speaker 1: care of and takes Kappa Hala along for the ride.
Speaker 1: Which we got to say Kapahala and Tsunami because otherwise
Speaker 1: they're just Johnny's. Yes, that's hard. They pull I guess
Speaker 1: I could say John, but it's not the same. They
Speaker 1: pull up to an old he can't.
Speaker 2: It's not Yeah, you can't John, the same John.
Speaker 1: He's pull it. I'm John Tsunami. They pull up to
Speaker 1: an old surf shop that Carla's father left her when
Speaker 1: he passed away. It's the reason she actually moved to Hawaii.
Speaker 1: Sunami is gonna help her get it up and running,
Speaker 1: and she needs the help because the inside is it. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is where I start to go, like, wait, what
Speaker 1: so the inside was a disaster area. Keep that in mind.
Speaker 1: It was just it was looked like it had good
Speaker 1: bones to be a store, but it obviously wasn't set
Speaker 1: up in any way, shape or form. They had a
Speaker 1: lot of work to do. I was like, okay, cool,
Speaker 1: we're gonna see the transition. Carl's inside hard at work,
Speaker 1: but Uncle Chris is across the street hanging out with
Speaker 1: some friends at a dirt boarding shop. So Nami suggests
Speaker 1: that maybe Kapa Hola should go babysit his uncle across
Speaker 1: the street, who's currently watching a bunch of badskate on
Speaker 1: Little Rams and act tough. Johnny introduces himself, and Johnny
Speaker 1: introduces himself and meets the Dirt Devils. It's a whole team.
Speaker 1: There's an owner and olderbro Troy, and then there's the
Speaker 1: leader Jared, and you got Bow, Spidey and Rooster. Now, Sabrina,
Speaker 1: you get to pick for the rest of your life.
Speaker 1: I am calling you either Spidey or Rooster. Which one
Speaker 1: do you want.
Speaker 2: I think i'd have to go as Spidy. Rooster is
Speaker 2: just like.
Speaker 1: I kind of dig Rooster. I'll be Rooster, you'd be Spidey.
Speaker 1: I think that's what we opened our breakfast shop. It'll
Speaker 1: be spider if my nickname.
Speaker 2: If someone just randomly nicknamed me Spidey, I would spider
Speaker 2: man them all the time, just like shoot my web.
Speaker 1: I don't want to know what I do if somebody
Speaker 1: called me Rooster all of a sudden. You know where
Speaker 1: that came from exactly. And then there's also a very
Speaker 1: pretty girl named Val that quickly captures Johnny's attention. And
Speaker 1: we have now done so many episodes of Magical rewind
Speaker 1: that halfway through the movie. Last night, I texted Sabrina
Speaker 1: and went, was Rose on our show? I can't remember?
Speaker 1: And then I was conflating it because she and I
Speaker 1: hung out in Hawaii at a con with my wife,
Speaker 1: and that's how I knew her so well. So I
Speaker 1: don't think we've had her on the show. I think
Speaker 1: that's how I know.
Speaker 2: But the funny part is you have asked me who
Speaker 2: I have never met her? And I said I don't
Speaker 2: think so. But then after you said that, I'm going wait.
Speaker 1: Maybe exactly, I can't remember.
Speaker 2: I don't think we have she looks familiar. I think
Speaker 2: I mean I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled on our
Speaker 2: magical Rewiffe.
Speaker 1: No, we have it, and I do not think we
Speaker 1: have it is beneficial we have it. It's just actually
Speaker 1: know her in real life. That's the weird thing about
Speaker 1: being an actor. It's like, have we talked or do
Speaker 1: I know you in real life? Have we worked together?
Speaker 1: I don't know. So I knew Rose. She's very sweet.
Speaker 1: She's also a fellow Dirt Border. The Dirt Borders act
Speaker 1: like mainland thugs, hardly welcoming the surfer back, which is weird,
Speaker 1: and the godfather of the mountain boarding team, Troy, exclaiming
Speaker 1: they bring the dirt. I supply the devil.
Speaker 2: That was such a weird line. I had to write
Speaker 2: that one down, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Troy, Easy, They're tough guy. Eventually, Johnny is invited
Speaker 1: into their shop and shown around. It is much cooler
Speaker 1: and darker than the war zone. Carla inherited. Troy is
Speaker 1: planning on taking the squad out for a tour one
Speaker 1: day and letting them see the world. Johnny says he's
Speaker 1: skateboard by the way, this is a whole group of
Speaker 1: kids that don't if I'm getting this right, it's a
Speaker 1: whole group of kids that don't want to live in Hawaii.
Speaker 2: Right, or or despise at least we could say despise surfing.
Speaker 2: Think surfing super dumb. Let me just say this isn't
Speaker 2: to be I have. That was we I was lucky
Speaker 2: enough to have Like that was our kind of our
Speaker 2: summer vacation that we went to quite often and would
Speaker 2: get a chance to, you know, on the beach where
Speaker 2: I had never met a local that had didn't love
Speaker 2: like maybe they weren't a great surfer, but they all
Speaker 2: loved the culture of it's part of the Hawaiian culture.
Speaker 1: Well, they're connected to the ocean in a way.
Speaker 2: Understand they might not be surfers, but they loved the water,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But they also loved hiking.
Speaker 2: But just because they liked hiking and doing things on
Speaker 2: land had no reflection of like.
Speaker 1: Hating connection to their land that we will never understand.
Speaker 1: And it's one of those things where it was weird
Speaker 1: to have a group of white kids in this movie
Speaker 1: that are like we we essentially don't want to be
Speaker 1: here run by a guy who's trying to get out too.
Speaker 1: It was just, I don't know, it was strange.
Speaker 2: It was a little a little off.
Speaker 1: Putting, a little a little off putting, but anyway, and
Speaker 1: that's why I was like, oh, really, there's gonna be
Speaker 1: basically no surfing in the Johnny Coppahala Surfing movie. And
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I guess I'm just gonna have
Speaker 1: to deal with that. It'd be like point break without
Speaker 1: there being a point break. Come on, didn't care anyway.
Speaker 1: Johnny says he's skateboards, but while in Hawaii he's all
Speaker 1: about surfing. Troy thinks riding waves is boring, and the
Speaker 1: Dirt Devil's explain when you stack, you don't float, you bleed,
Speaker 1: which I think in young translates to when you fall
Speaker 1: down you can get hurt. Cutie Val invites him to
Speaker 1: ride with the team for the day, and, to Uncle
Speaker 1: Chris's dismay, Johnny accepts. We cut to a montage of
Speaker 1: the Dirt Devil's doing their thing, and it looked pretty awesome.
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying, like, it doesn't seem like
Speaker 1: there's much to do with it, but it was cool looking, right,
Speaker 1: if that makes sense.
Speaker 2: However, like you to keep in mind when it comes
Speaker 2: to snowboarding, like what I snowboard. I just cruise down
Speaker 2: the mountain. I am that hitting those right, and that
Speaker 2: I just love cruising down the mountain. This is not
Speaker 2: something you could do if you were to enjoy a cruise.
Speaker 1: There's no cruise. It also looks like it's just bashing
Speaker 1: your knees like.
Speaker 2: Aman, it looks so dangerous and so hard. It looks
Speaker 2: like a very very hard sport to actually be good at.
Speaker 1: And it also, I mean, as far as we know,
Speaker 1: unless and again we talk about microworlds on this podcast
Speaker 1: all the time, unless there's something we don't know about,
Speaker 1: it never took off, Like I don't know a whole
Speaker 1: bunch of mountain borders that hang out like I'm guessing
Speaker 1: it's a thing, but I'm guessing it's a very small
Speaker 1: niche group of people that.
Speaker 2: A mountain like mountain louging, Like, well, I do that.
Speaker 2: How do you get into that?
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it later. Because I'm a world I'm
Speaker 1: number seven in the world at mountain losing right now,
Speaker 1: so okay, I'm a pretty well it must be because
Speaker 1: everyone I know calls me a loser. See what I
Speaker 1: just did? Yeh, see what I just did. That's all
Speaker 1: I hear. You're such a lusure. You're such a You're like,
Speaker 1: I know, I such a I'm an extreme lousure, Thank
Speaker 1: you very much. That is yeah, that's me. So yes. There,
Speaker 1: uh looks like they're going like one hundred miles an
Speaker 1: hour on this huge grassy mountain. They're pulling off some jumps. Again,
Speaker 1: they can just kind of flip around. But this is
Speaker 1: where I had a bit of a problem with the directing.
Speaker 1: I did not like the directing of the action stuff,
Speaker 1: the quick cuts, and that's just a personal thing. I
Speaker 1: do not like quick cuts off. You can see a
Speaker 1: wheel here, but you can't really see anybody doing things.
Speaker 1: And he's putting Sepia tones over the thing like he's
Speaker 1: got a nineteen eighties cam quorder, and it was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I wasn't digging it. If it was.
Speaker 2: I think to make that cam quorder makes sense. It
Speaker 2: needed to be like, you know, every not every, but
Speaker 2: a lot of times it was like kind of extreme
Speaker 2: groups has like a videographer. That's there I'm doing. So
Speaker 2: it needed it needed a character to do something like
Speaker 2: that to make that a little bit more. But also
Speaker 2: I felt like I gave it grace with the cuts
Speaker 2: because to me, again, this seems like one of the
Speaker 2: most extreme and dangerous Microworld sports that we've seen.
Speaker 1: But it sounds like they are the eight guys who
Speaker 1: can do it on the cast. Yeah they brought in
Speaker 1: No I'm saying like they brought in all the eight dudes.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, but they were doing like they I
Speaker 2: have one thing in my spreen of seas that like
Speaker 2: is so obvious to me, but they It wasn't like
Speaker 2: they could get Brandon to be able to do much
Speaker 2: of this, more so than the most more so than
Speaker 2: the snowboarding, and we know that he told us that
Speaker 2: they were being dragged up the mountain. You can't do
Speaker 2: it with this one, so I feel like they had
Speaker 2: to cut around it more so than our rollerblading stuff
Speaker 2: we've seen other skateboarding, Like, there was no way to
Speaker 2: show and make it make sense or real really believable
Speaker 2: that these actors were.
Speaker 1: Doing any of this because you'd be killed, Like, how
Speaker 1: do you not knock out a tooth every time you
Speaker 1: try to do this thing? So yes, it's it's was crazy, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's impressive, but again I don't think it took off,
Speaker 1: and we could be wrong. We could get in date
Speaker 1: with people like dude, mountain boarding is the greatest in
Speaker 1: the world, which I don't know any right, I'm wondering.
Speaker 1: It's like if they anybody has a mountain board anymore.
Speaker 1: Kappa Halla then warns Uncle Chris they aren't allowed to
Speaker 1: skate on this hill, and questions if these guys are
Speaker 1: even his friends, especially because they haven't made him an
Speaker 1: official dirt devil yet, which again I just kept thinking
Speaker 1: of the vacuum cleaner. They bicker, then they both ride
Speaker 1: the hill of full speed, leading to a total wipe
Speaker 1: off Fromkapahalla right in front of all the bad Val
Speaker 1: helps him up with the guys rub the crash in
Speaker 1: his face. And these were pretty weak bad guys if
Speaker 1: I'm honest. Yeah, Jared informs Chris to join the Devils,
Speaker 1: he'll need to impress him and then Troy, and to
Speaker 1: do that, they've got to face the toilet bowl. Val
Speaker 1: thinks that's way too much, but the guys love the idea,
Speaker 1: and so now little Uncle Chris stares down the massive
Speaker 1: downhill of the dirt that we can assume is the
Speaker 1: toilet bowl. I'm happy he didn't mean an actual toilet bowl.
Speaker 1: Chris looks terrified. He's not sure he can make it,
Speaker 1: and while the Devil's call him Chicken, Coppahla promises Chris
Speaker 1: there's no shame in backing out, and just as he's
Speaker 1: about to take off, we hear a siren. Everyone scatters off,
Speaker 1: but when we cut to the Tsunami's house, the policeman
Speaker 1: did catch Coppa Hala and Chris for trespassing. It's Chris's
Speaker 1: second warning. Next time he'll face the Juvi judge. And
Speaker 1: this is when I was like, Okay, they've They've set
Speaker 1: up dead Man's Curve or whatever they call it in
Speaker 1: every other movie, the toilet Bowl. It's gonna be great
Speaker 1: when they race here again.
Speaker 2: Never comes back again, I know, never.
Speaker 1: See it again. There's no race on it, no one
Speaker 1: ever goes down it. You literally never see this again.
Speaker 1: How do you set up the most dangerous place to
Speaker 1: do this thing? And everyone's peered at the edge and
Speaker 1: right about their go and then they scatter They can't
Speaker 1: actually do it. How do you not come back to
Speaker 1: this place at some time in the movie to race
Speaker 1: this thing agreed, It's like, what what's the point of
Speaker 1: putting this there and never seeing anybody actually down the thing?
Speaker 2: And to be honest too, it was set up as
Speaker 2: though that was gonna happen in the end. It's set
Speaker 2: up and then we end up where I don't know,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you do.
Speaker 1: Where we are? No, nope, Oh we'll get there because
Speaker 1: that's always fun. Yeah, so crazy. Now waiting to hear
Speaker 1: their fate and angry, Chris swears to Coppahala that he
Speaker 1: would have made it down the toilet bowl. I can't
Speaker 1: even say that out loud, and takes the time to
Speaker 1: remind his supposed nephew that they aren't actually family. Then
Speaker 1: Tsunami and Carlo return with some bad news. They've decided
Speaker 1: to take away Chris's mountain board for the rest of
Speaker 1: the week. He's furious, especially because Johnny got away with
Speaker 1: justin apology and Johnny tried to take the rap for him. Yes,
Speaker 1: and he was stolen and no, I mean, like, how
Speaker 1: did you sit there?
Speaker 2: You know your mom is coming back with something. How
Speaker 2: do you not how are you not expecting you're not
Speaker 2: going to be able to ride your board for a while.
Speaker 1: Yep, and also how do you be? He literally says
Speaker 1: he said he was his fault, Like yeah, dude, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I didn't like and I got where they
Speaker 1: were and I was like, Okay, they're setting the character
Speaker 1: up to be bad like this. Obviously he's supposed to
Speaker 1: be trouble and angry and I'm totally at this point,
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I'm fine with it. He's annoying,
Speaker 1: but that's the point, and he's going to have this
Speaker 1: great epiphany and he's going to grow, and none of
Speaker 1: that ever really happened. They have him change, but kind
Speaker 1: of like off camera, he has one good day and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, he's a good guy. He
Speaker 1: was like, white, what And that's what I love. We
Speaker 1: specifically talked about in the first one how great Johnny
Speaker 1: Cappajola was when he was just nice and he had
Speaker 1: a smile on his face and he was supportive of
Speaker 1: his dad, like yes, I'll move with you across the
Speaker 1: country and I'm not going to make it difficult on you,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to try my best in school. He
Speaker 1: was so likable and this kid is so the opposite
Speaker 1: of that that it was like, Okay, get what you're doing.
Speaker 1: But it was a bit much, Honestly. The other bigger
Speaker 1: problems than that little If Tsunami and Karla don't get
Speaker 1: the shop up and running soon, she might lose everything.
Speaker 1: And they need Johnny's help with keeping Chris out of
Speaker 1: try through the grand opening, which is on Saturday. So
Speaker 1: Coappa Hala and Sam babysit Chris and take him into
Speaker 1: Carla's shop, which is coming along nicely. Now this is
Speaker 1: when time passing in this movie is weird, because the
Speaker 1: next time we went into the shop, it was like
Speaker 1: ninety percent done. Yeah, it was That's what I meant
Speaker 1: by I was like.
Speaker 2: Wait, all they had to all they had to do
Speaker 2: was get the product out onto the floor.
Speaker 1: That was it. That was it. Yeah. He spent one
Speaker 1: day with that kid, and then the one day the
Speaker 1: shop is literally almost ready to open. From how it
Speaker 1: looked the first time we saw it to now took
Speaker 1: a day. And that's why I was like, what wait,
Speaker 1: what is going on? So time was really strange in
Speaker 1: this movie as well, and we'll get into more of
Speaker 1: that too. Tsunami went to go get a haircut, proving
Speaker 1: maybe his business acumen might not be ideal. You have
Speaker 1: days left and you're getting a haircut during the day.
Speaker 1: What do you maybe stay there and finish your store?
Speaker 1: But it looked like the store was done in an hour,
Speaker 1: so that works too. Coppa Hala walks over to the
Speaker 1: barber shop and he is shocked to bump into Tsunami
Speaker 1: on his way out. Wearing a very fancy suit. He
Speaker 1: looks like a million bucks and he's on his way
Speaker 1: to meet Carla at the bank. Maybe he has got
Speaker 1: together after all and is finally growing up at seventy
Speaker 1: years old. Coppa Hala returns to the shop and starts
Speaker 1: unloading products with Sam while Chris left to go hang
Speaker 1: out with the dirt devils across the street. Sam and
Speaker 1: Coppahla are immediately interrupted by his parents. They're back from
Speaker 1: their little work trip and decide to help with the
Speaker 1: store duties. Johnny's dad sends the boys off to surf,
Speaker 1: but on their way out, they see Chris getting pushed
Speaker 1: into a van, which never a good sign seeing a van.
Speaker 1: Never get into a van. Oh I don't care how
Speaker 1: cute they say the puppy is. Coappahala is concerned and
Speaker 1: tries to stop the van, but ends up just watching
Speaker 1: it drive away, He and Sam follow the Dirt Devil
Speaker 1: straight to a barge. Kappa Hala plays nark and rats
Speaker 1: on Chris. He isn't supposed to be mountain boarding. He's grounded,
Speaker 1: but Troy finds a loophole. They're skateboarding, not dirt boarding.
Speaker 1: He defends the Dirt Devils as a group of kids
Speaker 1: who have used the sport to stay out of trouble,
Speaker 1: and reveals that Chris is very close to joining the team.
Speaker 1: But it's obvious that we shouldn't be a fan of Troy.
Speaker 1: He seems like a big old demon and they're obviously
Speaker 1: setting him up to be said d bag. Meanwhile, Coppa
Speaker 1: Hala and Sam believe Chris is acting like this the
Speaker 1: week of the wedding and the store opening. I mean,
Speaker 1: who who do we blame for the scheduling? Just push
Speaker 1: the wedding back if the store is that important to you,
Speaker 1: or it seems like it's destined to fail. But they're
Speaker 1: doing it on the same day. It's like we're getting
Speaker 1: married tonight and then tomorrow the store open.
Speaker 2: Wow, it was they say it. Later on, they say,
Speaker 2: what were we thinking? It's the stores opening in the
Speaker 2: morning and the wedding is that night?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Iikes, just yikes. Change the schedule. You didn't have
Speaker 1: a venue. You were like getting married at the house.
Speaker 1: Weren't you on the beach.
Speaker 2: It's like you could go any time.
Speaker 1: Fifth week, give yourself an extra six days. It's not
Speaker 1: that big a deal. Sam, though, defends Chris's actions. It's
Speaker 1: hard to move to Hawaii if anyone can understand that
Speaker 1: it's Johnny coppahaala. And I was like, okay, I like
Speaker 1: what they're doing. I like giving him himself a younger
Speaker 1: version of himself. But they didn't. They gave him this
Speaker 1: kind of jerky little kid who doesn't ever seem to
Speaker 1: grow or learn. Yeah. So anyway, they ask if they
Speaker 1: can join the Devils skate session, something Uncle Chris isn't
Speaker 1: thrilled about, especially because his nephew has never skated on
Speaker 1: Rampsy's extreme before. But to everyone's surprise, Sam and Johnny
Speaker 1: are really good and earn the respect of the gang.
Speaker 1: Chris isn't impressed, though seeing Johnny blend in with the
Speaker 1: Devil so easily has made him jealous. He ditches his
Speaker 1: equipment and leaves with his tail between his legs. But
Speaker 1: Sam and Johnny don't even see him leave, so once
Speaker 1: they finished skating, they have to frantically drive around trying
Speaker 1: to find him. They eventually bump into him on the
Speaker 1: side of the road and bring him back home, where
Speaker 1: it becomes a family affair. Johnny, Tsunami, Carla, and the
Speaker 1: Kappa Halas are setting up for dinner when young Chris
Speaker 1: storms in. Kapahala rushes to his uncle's room to apologize,
Speaker 1: but Chris isn't hearing it. Skating was his chance to
Speaker 1: prove himself and now it's ruined. This relationship is becoming
Speaker 1: more and more strained. A bit later, out on the beach,
Speaker 1: the johnnies that Tsunami and Kapahala are walking and chatting
Speaker 1: about Chris and every step they took on this beach,
Speaker 1: I was like, God, I really want to go to
Speaker 1: New Zealand. Is it just everything looks so stunningly beautiful.
Speaker 2: You need to be cast in the next Zombies.
Speaker 1: Please make us zombies, Make us zombies. Yeah, so it
Speaker 1: just it just looks amazing. But Kappa Hala is out
Speaker 1: of ideas on how to turn the kid around. Sosunami
Speaker 1: tells his grandson to take the day off and let
Speaker 1: him take care of Chris tomorrow. So with time in
Speaker 1: his hands, Kapa Hala gets ready to surf, adjusting a
Speaker 1: board on the car's roof. When Val appears, she's tried
Speaker 1: surfing once in California and chipped her tooth. We get
Speaker 1: some very awkward flirting where she does everything but say, dude,
Speaker 1: ask me out. It's like even I could tell she
Speaker 1: was flirting, bro, and I'm terrible with that stuff. Then
Speaker 1: kappa Hala says he can help her relearn to surf,
Speaker 1: and just like that, they have their first official date. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: Uncle Chris sees this exchange, and now he's even more
Speaker 1: bummed because Johnny is not only stealing his team, but
Speaker 1: he's stealing the girl he likes. He obviously has a
Speaker 1: big old crush on Val, and so we get kappa
Speaker 1: Hala teaching his love interests how to surf in a
Speaker 1: cute date montage, and she's actually pretty good. They watch
Speaker 1: the sunset, and then she writes her phone number on
Speaker 1: his hand with the black sharpie that she carries around
Speaker 1: with her for that same.
Speaker 2: Reason, and the weirdest way to do it. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: was like it was on the top of his.
Speaker 1: Hand, like he'd have to like flip his hand around
Speaker 1: to reader number, and it's also could we maybe write
Speaker 1: it in ballpoint? That's that's that's a sharp part that's
Speaker 1: not coming off.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have your name to stay there forever.
Speaker 1: It's still there. It's literally he's lying in bed. Johnny
Speaker 1: interviewing Brandon.
Speaker 2: I saw it still on his hand.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, yeah, he's lying in bed with his wife
Speaker 1: and kids right now looking down at an ex girlfriend's
Speaker 1: number still written on his hand in permanent pen.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Yes, but it's okay. So back at the house, Chris
Speaker 1: is now skateboarding, so Cappa Holo trizes his hardest to
Speaker 1: connect with him again, but it's clear Chris does not
Speaker 1: feel comfortable in Hawaii. He wants to move back to Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: Kappa Halla explains that even if Chris doesn't like him,
Speaker 1: he needs him yeah, because he can drive him around.
Speaker 1: But Chris still wants nothing to do with him or
Speaker 1: his quote unquote girlfriend val Ooh. He's upset because he
Speaker 1: liked val but Kappa Hala isn't ready to give up,
Speaker 1: and while getting shaved ice with Sam, he gets a
Speaker 1: brain freeze and then has an idea. He sneaks into
Speaker 1: follow me with the idea. He sneaks into Chris's room
Speaker 1: with Sam videotaping and places headphones on Chris's ears. While
Speaker 1: he's sleeping, he blares heavy metal music, startling his little
Speaker 1: uncle awake. They kidnapped Chris and then carry him every time.
Speaker 1: I know, it's so strange, is it, this little uncle? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they carry him outside to threaten him with blackmail,
Speaker 1: so the video. They'll send the video of him being
Speaker 1: woken up by music to the Dirt Devils, and apparently
Speaker 1: that's gonna embarrass.
Speaker 2: Him, Yeah, because I think it was like he was
Speaker 2: like kind of screaming, like you know, like.
Speaker 1: Footy pajamas or something like get a picture of him
Speaker 1: in a Batman cape, I mean something like that. The
Speaker 1: idea that somebody woke him up and he woke up
Speaker 1: startled like everybody would. That's embarrassing to me, is like,
Speaker 1: there could have done way better things with that. That's
Speaker 1: not that's not blackmail material. I'd be like, dude, show
Speaker 1: him you being waking me up.
Speaker 2: It's Disney could.
Speaker 1: Easily have a picture of him sleeping with a Teddy
Speaker 1: Bear or something like that.
Speaker 2: Guard.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's exactly something like that to where it's actually
Speaker 1: embarrassing instead of a reaction that anybody would have, which
Speaker 1: is I just woke up to music blaring in my
Speaker 1: in my ears, I mean crazy.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be one of those like crazy, like screamy things.
Speaker 2: It would have been funny to like scare him and
Speaker 2: him have like this like high pitch like yes, yes.
Speaker 1: As producer Lisa just said, they need to take some
Speaker 1: tips from Lizzie McGuire's little brother. That's absolutely true. But still,
Speaker 1: for some reason, Chris and I get that he's trying
Speaker 1: to be embarrassing. I know him nippicking. Chris doesn't want
Speaker 1: this footage getting into the Dirt Border's hands, so they
Speaker 1: make a deal. If he hangs out with Kappahala and
Speaker 1: Sam today doing whatever they want, they'll destroy the tape.
Speaker 1: So Chris agrees, and just like that, a crime has
Speaker 1: been committed. First stop is VAL's house. Her dad is
Speaker 1: rich and lives in the most banging house in the
Speaker 1: history of homes. It is freaking amazing. I hope this
Speaker 1: is a real place in New Zealand because I want
Speaker 1: to live there. It's like some sort of wrapper on
Speaker 1: MTV cribs. She also has a handful of four reel ATVs.
Speaker 1: Her dad buys or whatever she wants because he's always
Speaker 1: working and her mom lives in a different state. Kappahala
Speaker 1: also reveals that he talked to his grandpa and the
Speaker 1: dirt boarding band has been lifted for Chris. And so
Speaker 1: now we see three ATVs joy riding out in the
Speaker 1: dirt with Kappahala and Thal sharing one like lovebirds at
Speaker 1: the X Games. Eventually they all end up in a
Speaker 1: beautiful field and it's time to dirt board. Chris goes
Speaker 1: first and pulls off a sick grind trick. His anger
Speaker 1: about everything quickly turns into happiness and he ends up
Speaker 1: having a fun day teaching the guys how to ride,
Speaker 1: and he's good. They show that at twelve he's really good.
Speaker 1: Over at Carlos's surf shop, she's complaining to Johnny Cappahala's
Speaker 1: mom about how difficult Chris has been. They think he'll
Speaker 1: fall into place after the wedding. It also looks like
Speaker 1: Johnny Tsunami out of no is playing with the idea
Speaker 1: of selling mountain boards in the shop, and this is
Speaker 1: the first kind of we're hearing about this. We're now
Speaker 1: over a dirt Devil's headquarters and things aren't going as planned.
Speaker 1: Troy's on the phone with a potential buyer or the store,
Speaker 1: but they're thinking of pulling out because of the new
Speaker 1: competition across the street. Wait what this makes Troy worry
Speaker 1: that Carla's Surf shop is diversifying their inventory into dirt boards.
Speaker 1: So Troy sends Jared out to double check back at
Speaker 1: VAL's house. The four wheeler gangs having a blast. Even
Speaker 1: Chris looks like he's finally having fun. VAL's dad arrives
Speaker 1: at home from a business trip and meets the guys.
Speaker 1: He is clearly hiding an accent. You know, a couple
Speaker 1: people their accents pop out. It's like, oh, that's right,
Speaker 1: we're in New Zealand. But they did great. Once they leave,
Speaker 1: Kapahala realizes VAL's dad was the banker his grandpa was
Speaker 1: talking to. He just doesn't get what they were talking about. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: Jared arrives at carla shop and pockets one of their
Speaker 1: wholesale receipts. He has proof they are going to be
Speaker 1: selling dirt boards. Carla spots him and sees him out.
Speaker 1: Once he delivers the news to Troy, he decides it's
Speaker 1: time to pay them a visit. Okay, does Troy have
Speaker 1: a point here? I mean, is it kind of a
Speaker 1: move to literally open a shop across the street and
Speaker 1: it's a surf shop, but then decide to sell the
Speaker 1: exact same specific product that your guy across the street
Speaker 1: literally is selling. I mean, is that yeah kind of
Speaker 1: not cool?
Speaker 2: It's absolutely not cool.
Speaker 1: Okay, So Troy bad guy.
Speaker 2: An ice cream shop across from a snow cone shop,
Speaker 2: and then the snow cone shop starts to also selling.
Speaker 1: Ice cream, right, you know what I mean, It's like,
Speaker 1: that's not I was like, well, dude, that's really not
Speaker 1: cool to do. And we're supposed to like you, you're
Speaker 1: the good guys.
Speaker 2: Yes where I cause again you're not going to do wrong? Okay,
Speaker 2: all right, so you see to simmer down over there where.
Speaker 1: Where I just I get you, Spidey. I actually kind of.
Speaker 2: Like this dude, they would have nickname of mine. Where
Speaker 2: I justified it as it felt like we didn't get
Speaker 2: a ton of backstory of what the shop was. Remember
Speaker 2: it was a hand me down type idea. Where I
Speaker 2: justified it in my head was this was always an
Speaker 2: old school kind of surf shop type thing, and he is,
Speaker 2: and that the dirt board place was more of a
Speaker 2: newer thing, and he was trying to rebuild it. And
Speaker 2: of course he's trying to, you know, make it make
Speaker 2: sense and appeal to everyone, and you know, the new guy. Sorry,
Speaker 2: but this is an old one and this is this
Speaker 2: is the name, you know.
Speaker 1: But the store was never opened like the store that
Speaker 1: they're rebuilding. Her dad's shop was obviously never sold mountain boards.
Speaker 1: I mean, if he if they had.
Speaker 2: Thrown in a line like mountain boards.
Speaker 1: But that's what I'm saying. If they throw in a
Speaker 1: line like, you know, my dad who left me the
Speaker 1: shop was the first person to sell mountain boards if
Speaker 1: you opened the shop across the street, we're just going back.
Speaker 2: If they somehow justin they could have done it because
Speaker 2: of the the big wigs that we find out later.
Speaker 2: Could have been like, oh yeah, he was my first sponsor.
Speaker 1: Exactly something like that. But it didn't And and so I.
Speaker 2: Know it could have been one quick because we meet
Speaker 2: him and we'll therefore, how did they know him?
Speaker 1: Like oh, wow, I'm glad you're with me, Spidey, Wow,
Speaker 1: I'm Rooster has a.
Speaker 2: Point However, the movies, you know, still it's still a.
Speaker 1: Ten ten out of ten for Sobrina, I'm giving it
Speaker 1: ten roosters. I don't even know what we're calling it.
Speaker 1: Ten spidis nice exactly. So yeah, I just thought they
Speaker 1: had a point. It was kind of a kind of move,
Speaker 1: but anyway, yeah, it's true. So yeah, So Troy and
Speaker 1: Jared make their way to Carlo's and get a little
Speaker 1: feisty about going toe to toe. Tsunami claims competition is
Speaker 1: good for the community, but the tension is very high.
Speaker 1: He's shank song. Yeah, he can kill you and take
Speaker 1: your soul. This victory anyway, Oh god, such a could
Speaker 1: move anyway. Uh yeah, Troy even And now is that
Speaker 1: Chris is no longer allowed at Dirt Devils, which of
Speaker 1: course infuriates the hopeful member. The next day, Chris won't
Speaker 1: even talk to his future stepdad, So Nami Tellskappahla all
Speaker 1: about his own origins of surfing at sixteen and the
Speaker 1: biggest waves he ever caught. He ate at big Time.
Speaker 1: He took on too much. He promised himself he would
Speaker 1: never do that again. And so the next morning when
Speaker 1: everyone wakes up, Snami is nowhere to be found, which
Speaker 1: is a nightmare because the store opens later today and
Speaker 1: Uncle Chris, little tiny Uncle Chris, is gone too. Coppa
Speaker 1: Hala and Sam drive off to find little Tiny Uncle
Speaker 1: Chris again, but instead running to Jared and Val, arguing
Speaker 1: she's been hanging out with Kapa Hala. She can't drive
Speaker 1: with the team to the pro dirt boarding demo, an
Speaker 1: event where they were planning to meet sponsors. Coppa Hala
Speaker 1: tries to step in, but that isn't helpful. Of course,
Speaker 1: the dirt Devil's drive off and now Sam is forced
Speaker 1: to drive her in his awesome car. Yeah, it's just
Speaker 1: so awesome.
Speaker 2: It was like, oh, this giant plot twist and oh
Speaker 2: what a oh you could drive me cool?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can take me great, exactly, exactly. Thank you.
Speaker 1: I love that you're finding I know what it's.
Speaker 2: Go see what we're doing with this X Games.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Thank you. At the big demo, it looks
Speaker 1: like X Games was a cheap local carnival. Nonetheless, the
Speaker 1: trio are impressed with all the riders and start looking
Speaker 1: for Chris, which for Sam turns into flirting with multiple girls.
Speaker 1: Kappa Halla finally does spot his little uncle cousin who
Speaker 1: is now arguing with Jared about being banned from the
Speaker 1: Dirt Devils. The young boy challenges Jared to a race,
Speaker 1: but is interrupted by Troy, who has found a possible sponsor,
Speaker 1: pro Boards. The company wants to meet the Dirt Devils
Speaker 1: and Chris could join them. He just needs to convince
Speaker 1: Tsunami not to sell skate or dirt boards. Jared also
Speaker 1: tells him to be at the gap in the South
Speaker 1: Trail and I'm going to butcher this name. I apologize
Speaker 1: poop poo Kaya poop ki right tomorrow to get big
Speaker 1: air and prove himself there. And at the same time,
Speaker 1: back at the house, Karla and Tsunami are happy they
Speaker 1: found Chris, but his attitude is really bothering her. It
Speaker 1: was bothering me by this point, Tsunami promises he just
Speaker 1: needs to feel part of something. Okay. Once Chris is home,
Speaker 1: he sprints right to his playing video games, which is real,
Speaker 1: let's be honest. But Kappa Hoola tries to give it
Speaker 1: words of encouragement. Their family members are getting married, they
Speaker 1: should make the best of it. Running away will only
Speaker 1: make people miserable, and Coppo holog just wants his grandpa happy.
Speaker 1: And I like that people started to kind of give
Speaker 1: this kid, like, knock off your attitude. It's not about
Speaker 1: you all the time, right, And that's sometimes not very Disney,
Speaker 1: where they'll like sit a little kid down and essentially
Speaker 1: be like check yourself. Yeah, and they did that twice
Speaker 1: in this movie, which because she then comes and does
Speaker 1: it too, and I like that.
Speaker 2: However, it never quite helps.
Speaker 1: No, it doesn't work. He's still a little, he's still
Speaker 1: an uncle little.
Speaker 2: But at least they tried. Yeah, they tried several times,
Speaker 2: like Robin put the smack down girl.
Speaker 1: Nope, nope. Never. You think that's gonna happen in Bart
Speaker 1: Johnson's house. I think not. Uh yes, So running away
Speaker 1: was only going to make people miserable. And Kappa Hoola
Speaker 1: just wants his grandpa happy, like I said, but Chris
Speaker 1: doesn't care and gives him one last later bra oh,
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to slap him. And now the
Speaker 1: big weekend has arrived. Everyone is prepping for the rehears
Speaker 1: except Chris, who's pouting by himself. This is where we
Speaker 1: learn that tomorrow is not only the wedding night, they're
Speaker 1: opening the surf shop in the morning. Like you said,
Speaker 1: worst scheduling I've ever heard of. How do they think
Speaker 1: they could take us off? It makes no sense, but
Speaker 1: still ten out of ten for Sabrina. Tsunami and Kappa
Speaker 1: Halla's dad go to pick something up and leave Kappa
Speaker 1: Hala and Chris to chat it out. Chris is still
Speaker 1: adamant he's joining the Dirt Devils today, but Coppa Hala
Speaker 1: is ready to stop him. He's not going to ruin
Speaker 1: the wedding weekend with some dangerous jump, and so we
Speaker 1: get a standoff. Kapa Hala is set off to town
Speaker 1: to get ice, and Chris volunteers to go with him,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, I know he's gonna pull something.
Speaker 1: I sign a possible progress but no. Once they do
Speaker 1: arrive at the general store, Chris prelines to the bathroom
Speaker 1: and sneaks out a back window. He hit his dirt
Speaker 1: board in the truck and makes a clean getaway, and
Speaker 1: by the time Kapa Hala figures it out, little Uncle
Speaker 1: Chris is long gone and he left behind a flat tire.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, I know now you're touching my whip? Are
Speaker 1: you kids right? Are you kidding me? I have given
Speaker 1: you enough leeway.
Speaker 2: But also Johnny come on, like you would clearly have
Speaker 2: never been put in charge of another child before.
Speaker 1: Because but he also wasn't a bad kid. That's the thing.
Speaker 1: Johnny Tsunami was not a bad kid.
Speaker 2: That's true. That's true.
Speaker 1: Said, That's what we loved about the character was no
Speaker 1: matter what was thrown at him, Like the bully came
Speaker 1: up to him in school, He's like, hey, man, yeah,
Speaker 1: here's a surfer magazine. Check it out. You're gonna love it.
Speaker 1: It was like he was the nicest kid. So it
Speaker 1: would have been so cool if they did the same
Speaker 1: thing here and then the twist to having him leave
Speaker 1: and still wanting to jump, all that could have still worked.
Speaker 1: And you didn't need to make the kid this bad, yeah,
Speaker 1: because he was just horribly unlikable. I mean he really was.
Speaker 1: Even by this point in the movie. They should have
Speaker 1: had a couple heartfelt moments of the kid of not
Speaker 1: just I want to go back to Philadelphia, but why
Speaker 1: what he missed?
Speaker 2: What happened?
Speaker 1: I'm so sad, like not anger, because when you play
Speaker 1: anger all the time, it's grating. When you get into
Speaker 1: more sorrow, you start to feel for the character as
Speaker 1: opposed to hating the character, which by this point, I
Speaker 1: was like, I I don't like this kid. I do
Speaker 1: not like this kid. So yeah, it was It was
Speaker 1: tough anyway, and it's such a juxtaposition to Johnny, who
Speaker 1: you still love. Yes, so yeah, it's very strange. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep harping on this until I get
Speaker 1: emails after emails after emails, because I don't read them anyway.
Speaker 1: I send them all to Spidey and she reads it
Speaker 1: for me. Keep in mind, this is him, not me.
Speaker 1: This is Spidey, not Rooster. It's time for Chris to
Speaker 1: meet the Dirt Devils to try out at the South
Speaker 1: Trail Gap. The jump is crazy. It's at least fifteen
Speaker 1: feet deep. If he misses, it's like a cavern if
Speaker 1: he misses, seriously injured. Kappa Hala has recruited Val and
Speaker 1: they make it to the gap just as Chris is
Speaker 1: taking off. He's skating at full speed when he hits
Speaker 1: the jump, and in slow mo he just clears the gap,
Speaker 1: then crashes on the other side. Chris has survived, but
Speaker 1: he really hurts himself, obviously, and Val runs off to
Speaker 1: get help. That night, Kapahala's dad is disappointed in his son,
Speaker 1: how could he let this happen and as if it
Speaker 1: was Johnny's fault at all. He says, Chris is a
Speaker 1: little evil genius, but the jump was actually really impressive.
Speaker 1: Sunami returns with Chris, who only has a simple fracture.
Speaker 1: Carla apologizes for her son, but Coppa Hala says he's
Speaker 1: even sorrier. He should have been watching over Chris, and
Speaker 1: this whole thing ruined their rehearsal dinner. But on the
Speaker 1: bright side, Chris apparently told his mom all about how
Speaker 1: great of an influence Coppa Hala has tried to be,
Speaker 1: and the two boys are left alone to brow it out. Okay,
Speaker 1: so it's starting to get a little better. Then a
Speaker 1: cop arrives with some bad news. The shop has been
Speaker 1: broken into. Everything has been thrashed. The police will do
Speaker 1: an investigation and look for fingerprints, but right away, seconds later,
Speaker 1: Jared's arrested. It is the quickest investigation in the history
Speaker 1: of the world. Congratulations. He was apparently stashing skate equipment
Speaker 1: nearby and that was suspicious, so they caught him to
Speaker 1: answer for the crime. Though Troy has also arrived on
Speaker 1: the scene, he says he knows nothing about it and
Speaker 1: a shocked Jared is taken into custody. Troy apologizes about
Speaker 1: his recent behavior, but the group can read right through
Speaker 1: his bs it's obvious he was somehow involved. Troy also
Speaker 1: congratulates Chris on his big jump and invites him back
Speaker 1: to the store. Maybe it's finally time to talk about
Speaker 1: joining the Dirt Devils, especially since most of the kids
Speaker 1: that were on the team are probably gonna be in prison.
Speaker 1: But Kappa Holla jumps in that's not gonna happen. The
Speaker 1: gang war is just getting started. Chris is furious. He
Speaker 1: always wanted to join the Dirt Devils. He says he
Speaker 1: hates his family and runs into the house. Kappa Ali's
Speaker 1: dad promises Tsunami that things will work out in the morning,
Speaker 1: right in time for the wedding and the opening of
Speaker 1: the store, which has now been pushed because it's thrashed.
Speaker 1: But now they got the wedding, and later that night,
Speaker 1: in all the chaos, Chris sees his mom break down.
Speaker 1: She's talking to Tsunami, convinced she should have never entered
Speaker 1: his life and started all this business. It was a mistake.
Speaker 1: Everything's collapsing, and she calls off the wedding. As if
Speaker 1: the wedding was the problem. She's going back to Philly
Speaker 1: and taking Chris with her. She's sorry, And again, character wise,
Speaker 1: it would have been more interesting had she said he's
Speaker 1: not doing well here, you're going to be a stepdad.
Speaker 1: You need to leave this place and come back to
Speaker 1: Philly with us.
Speaker 2: I thought that's what was gonna I was like, oh.
Speaker 1: No, yes, Nam, he's gonna live and Johnny Sunami three
Speaker 1: back in Philly was going to be written as we
Speaker 1: were going, it's just him in now, he's like joining
Speaker 1: utting competitions.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, well basketball, What what would we be doing
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia?
Speaker 1: Again? I think it would be uh, chief steak eating competitions,
Speaker 1: or maybe hockey. It could be hockey. Philly is a
Speaker 1: good hockey town. He got the Flyers, it could be
Speaker 1: it's still kind of a winter sport. So maybe he's
Speaker 1: a hockey guy. But we'll get there, we'll figure out, yes,
Speaker 1: And then it would be it be Johnny coppahala against
Speaker 1: the boards. Oh you like you can keep board there? God,
Speaker 1: I'm good. Christopher win Uh yeah so great. So anyway, and.
Speaker 2: You would obviously have to be because you're just so
Speaker 2: good at ice skating dude.
Speaker 1: Right, you've seen h double hockey sticks and the boy
Speaker 1: meets row Away skate with Nancy Kerrigan. Other than being
Speaker 1: such a big masure, she does she Nancy has always
Speaker 1: been my biggest skating advocate. She literally looked at me
Speaker 1: and just went, Wow, those skates are way too good
Speaker 1: for you. Anyway. She is, She's very nice. She is
Speaker 1: she is she Nancy is a sweetheart. I want to
Speaker 1: make that clear. She is always she's always very nice
Speaker 1: to me. She really will. But she's like, yeah, those
Speaker 1: skates are way too good for you. It's true. When
Speaker 1: you get Nancy Kerrigan making fun of your skating, you've
Speaker 1: kind of reached the pinnacle of a career. It's true.
Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite days. Yes, but she's going back,
Speaker 1: She's she's ending the marriage and going back to Philly
Speaker 1: and taking Chris with her. She's sorry, and seeing his
Speaker 1: mom cry and make such a drastic decision has finally
Speaker 1: affected that little d bag, Chris. He drags himself back
Speaker 1: to his room as sad music plays. The next morning,
Speaker 1: Kapahla makes his way to the beach to surf and
Speaker 1: finds his grandpa just looking out over the waves. Tsunami
Speaker 1: is devastated. He can't imagine his life without Carla and Chris.
Speaker 1: Kappa Halla convinces him to talk to Chris, tell him
Speaker 1: what he means to him, which I didn't think really
Speaker 1: was the problem. It has nothing to do with their
Speaker 1: relationship with Chris, and Tsunami had nothing to do with
Speaker 1: this film at all, but either way, Kappa Hala has
Speaker 1: had an idea on who to recruit to help, and
Speaker 1: Tsunami is thankful for any advice he can get. The
Speaker 1: plan is revealed when val arrives at Chris's door. We
Speaker 1: know he has a little crush on her and doesn't
Speaker 1: want to see him turn into Jared. She defends Kappa Hala.
Speaker 1: All he's ever wanted to do is make his new
Speaker 1: family work and to keep him safe. He was just
Speaker 1: following Tsunami's instructions and with that Mike drop, she walks
Speaker 1: out of the room. Soon after, Chris and Coppahala are outside,
Speaker 1: finally talking it out. Chris regrets the Gorge jump. He
Speaker 1: thinks his rivalry between his mom shop and the Dirt
Speaker 1: Devil's is his fault. He finally wants to fix everything,
Speaker 1: and Kappa Hala says that he will help. So it
Speaker 1: was just too quick a transition. I would like to
Speaker 1: have seen a little bit more than that. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: get what they were doing, but a little more would
Speaker 1: have been good. Meanwhile, Kappahala's mom is trying to convince
Speaker 1: Carla to stay and delay the shop opening, which hey,
Speaker 1: you should have done in the first place. Yeah, whatever,
Speaker 1: it's a start. Then Kappa Hala calls. He tells them
Speaker 1: to come to the shop, and when they arrive, their
Speaker 1: sh shock to see it's been totally decorated, steaming volcano
Speaker 1: and all it is ready to open. Chris Coppahala, Val
Speaker 1: and Sam accomplish what was taking weeks to finish in
Speaker 1: a few hours. And again, what is going on with
Speaker 1: timing in this movie? I just don't understand. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't get it.
Speaker 2: We just got to keep moving, Okay, we're we're nearing
Speaker 2: that ninety minute mark.
Speaker 1: We just got.
Speaker 2: To keep jump on board.
Speaker 1: We need this movie perfect for Spidey, so it's got
Speaker 1: to be ninety minutes. Let's go wrap it up. Let's
Speaker 1: wrap it up, people, Let's wrap it up, people. We
Speaker 1: got ninety minutes. Hey, we haven't finished the race. We
Speaker 1: don't know who wins. That's it. Nine did you start? Okay?
Speaker 2: Good, We're good.
Speaker 1: We're already riding back against the boards or against the
Speaker 1: boards whatever I called number three. And now it is
Speaker 1: time for the grand opening. It is packed with customers
Speaker 1: and valas helping coordinate the festivities with an iron fist,
Speaker 1: and across the street, Troy is having words with a
Speaker 1: man in the suit. He was supposed to step in
Speaker 1: if the buyer backed out, but he's changed his mind.
Speaker 1: Troy's life depends on this, and they had a verbal contract.
Speaker 1: When the disagreement starts to get physical, Tsunami and Kapa
Speaker 1: Halla's dad run over and step in, and we realized
Speaker 1: that the man in the suit is VAL's dad. Troy
Speaker 1: was hoping the businessman would buy the shop for a
Speaker 1: new condo development, but negotiations fell through. So everyone learned.
Speaker 2: You just convincingly said like you didn't know it was
Speaker 2: VAL's dad who he was talking to you?
Speaker 1: Did you know? Did you like how I made it
Speaker 1: seem like we were what it was? Vowsals dad?
Speaker 2: It was like not aws, look at your dad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going I would have gotten away with it
Speaker 1: if it wasn't the meddling kids. Oh, my god, it's
Speaker 1: vows dad. Yeah, I tried to make it seem like
Speaker 1: it was a surprise, doing my best, and this is
Speaker 1: your favorite movie of all time? What do you want
Speaker 1: me to do? It's true. Yes, Everyone learns that the
Speaker 1: Dirt Devil's leader's plan was to ditch everyone and move
Speaker 1: to California. VAL's dad wasn't interested in helping him let
Speaker 1: kids down, including his daughter. Troy calls himself the real
Speaker 1: deal and tells Tsunami that the Dirt Devils will win
Speaker 1: in the end. He'll make sure Carlos goes out of business.
Speaker 1: Kappa Hala realizes this torment will never end, so he
Speaker 1: steps up and challenges the bully to a mountain board race.
Speaker 1: If Troy wins, Tsunami will quit selling mountain boards. If
Speaker 1: Kappa Hola winds, both stores can sell whatever they want.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna let that sit. So maybe the movie's
Speaker 1: actually about free trade more than anything else. Is that
Speaker 1: what it's about. It's such a weird thing. And of course,
Speaker 1: then Troy accepts, and Tsunami accepts because he has faith
Speaker 1: in his grandson, who's mountain boarded twice. VAL's dad reveals
Speaker 1: he owns the perfect spot for the race, the toilet bowl. Nope,
Speaker 1: never went back there, So we go instead to Voila.
Speaker 1: We are at a fully developed mountain board park with
Speaker 1: the race being prepped with flags and banners and barrels
Speaker 1: of hay. So Tsunami secretly convinced the bank to fund
Speaker 1: a full development. And again, how much time do we
Speaker 1: have here, because now all of a sudden there's a
Speaker 1: full race track that's been built.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, you're still you're still all in, john eighty
Speaker 4: seven minutes.
Speaker 2: So we got to just take it as it is.
Speaker 1: But you're still in. You're like, yes, this is exactly
Speaker 1: what I thought was gonna happen. I'm gonna put the
Speaker 1: fate of the fate of my store in the hands
Speaker 1: of a kid who's mountain boarded twice against the guy
Speaker 1: who runs the whole team and is the only one
Speaker 1: in the known world at this point who actually mountain
Speaker 1: boards as an adult. See.
Speaker 2: But here's the thing too, though, I was also thinking
Speaker 2: that Troy actually wasn't good.
Speaker 1: That's correct, that's what that's what Johnny do it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we got like you're just a poser.
Speaker 2: I thought he was gonna be like, uh no, no, no,
Speaker 2: and like, come on, come on, do it, and then
Speaker 2: he actually could. So I was I was starting to.
Speaker 1: Yep, So were you okay? Good? I hope? So, I hope, So,
Speaker 1: I hope you're allerged, just like I love this movie,
Speaker 1: so Ah says. But still, Chris now has his own
Speaker 1: field to practice on, just like Kappa Hala had his
Speaker 1: own surface, had his own ocean to surf in. And
Speaker 1: with the race getting closer, Kapahla knows the pressure is
Speaker 1: on because again he doesn't know how to do this thing.
Speaker 1: Chris has scoped out the whole course and gives his
Speaker 1: nephew some advice. Troy trash talks his opponent, but our
Speaker 1: challenger remains confident. Sam, who's now unexplainably a race official,
Speaker 1: breaks down the rules and with that, here we go,
Speaker 1: Ready said go, We get another Instagram filter. As the
Speaker 1: race starts in the two borders, feverishly carved through the dirt,
Speaker 1: neck and neck, they're completing jumps and trading off first
Speaker 1: place until Troy takes the lead. But it is close.
Speaker 1: Anyone could win this thing. As they rail grind around
Speaker 1: a mud. As they rail grind around mud and soar
Speaker 1: over ditches the future of the shop will come down
Speaker 1: to the wire. On a final turn, they crash into
Speaker 1: each other. Both fall into the ground, but Troy's the
Speaker 1: first one to get back up and now has a
Speaker 1: decent lead. But in a move that can only be
Speaker 1: described as dummy, Troy attempts a massive trick mid race,
Speaker 1: even though the trick means absolutely nothing for winning, and
Speaker 1: as a result, he wipes out and as kind of
Speaker 1: falling down the hill. Then Kappa Halla does a twist
Speaker 1: of his own, again for no reason at all, and
Speaker 1: crosses the finish line, speeding right into a massive wall
Speaker 1: of Hey, he's the victor, and his dad in tsunami
Speaker 1: race to the crash to see if he's okay. But
Speaker 1: he's all good. His first words are that was sweet.
Speaker 2: Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait okay. So the trick.
Speaker 2: This was a very confusing race because it wasn't just
Speaker 2: a race though they said you have to do three.
Speaker 1: Tricks at the end, but at the end and none
Speaker 1: of it and why do you have to do tricks?
Speaker 1: And I don't know that was who he decides what
Speaker 1: the tricks are?
Speaker 2: The weirdest rules for a race I have ever seen.
Speaker 1: That was like on a racetrack that didn't exist the
Speaker 1: day before yesterday but was somehow.
Speaker 2: And now, and the idea of doing three tricks. So
Speaker 2: it's like that's where they had to up the ante
Speaker 2: on these last little like doop de doop's at the
Speaker 2: very end of the race, which makes them go for whatever.
Speaker 2: I don't know. It was kind of like so it's
Speaker 2: not just about speed, like if one of them only
Speaker 2: did two and then the third one the second person
Speaker 2: did three but finished after Sabrina.
Speaker 1: The idea that you do not know all the perfect
Speaker 1: rules to the Johnny Cappahola mountain board race. That's insane
Speaker 1: that you don't know.
Speaker 2: It was lost. I'm sorry, are you lost? I apologize,
Speaker 2: I I did. I rewound it to figure it out.
Speaker 4: And if it was crossing the finish line first but
Speaker 4: didn't hit your technical three tricks, your docked point seven
Speaker 4: percent of a point, which at the end of the
Speaker 4: day is added to double time of what you finished
Speaker 4: crossing the race, according to Sam, who's a race official.
Speaker 2: Come on, Sabrina, I guess I wasn't paid attention.
Speaker 1: None of this. I'm sorry. None of this is fame.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: None, no, none of this made sense, having Johnny Cappahola.
Speaker 1: Just make it about surfing. Just make the movie about surfing. No,
Speaker 1: just make.
Speaker 2: About we are locked in on this mountain board.
Speaker 1: How do you how do you not make it about surf?
Speaker 1: And then it's it is Johnny Kappahala teaching his young
Speaker 1: little uncle the joy of the ocean. How is that not? Yes,
Speaker 1: his little baby uncle, which is, by the way, my
Speaker 1: new rat name is a little baby uncle. How do
Speaker 1: you not make that this thing where he teaches him
Speaker 1: the magic of the ocean, the spirituality of the ocean.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it. Let's go. We're gonna go all
Speaker 1: the way back to Hawaii, Johnny Kappahola, and then we're
Speaker 1: gonna mountain board. None of this makes sense, Sabrina. I
Speaker 1: know you love it, but it's okay.
Speaker 2: But at ninety eight minutes, we have got to finish
Speaker 2: this movie.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you all right. So fus him and they
Speaker 1: celebrate his one big family. But Troy isn't done, even
Speaker 1: though he promised let things be, He's never given up.
Speaker 1: But the policeman from earlier butts in. He says it
Speaker 1: is finished. They've released Jared from custody and now they
Speaker 1: want to talk to the ring leader. Jared fully confessed
Speaker 1: because again he's a little and proved it was Troy's idea.
Speaker 1: They cuffed the owner and take him away.
Speaker 2: I mean, yes, I am going just so you know,
Speaker 2: if you ever asked me to do something illegal and
Speaker 2: then you don't know, and I go to jail and
Speaker 2: they're telling me I'm going to jail and Will is
Speaker 2: not and it was your idea to begin with. I
Speaker 2: am telling them everything they need to know to make
Speaker 2: sure that I am not going to jail. Well, do
Speaker 2: not ever ask me. I'm telling you right now, do
Speaker 2: not ask me to do something like that because I
Speaker 2: am not reliable. I am not going to jail for
Speaker 2: anyone else.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna throw on a juntos.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll stick with you, but if you bail, I
Speaker 2: am rating your thought so fast. I don't blame Jared
Speaker 2: for a second. Yes it was him, It was it
Speaker 2: was Troy the whole time.
Speaker 1: Sam Hi, I have a new hashtag. It's hashtag Cheetah
Speaker 1: snitch cheat all day.
Speaker 2: I am not going to jail. Are no one, no
Speaker 2: fun No.
Speaker 1: You and I We've talked about this. Neither of us
Speaker 1: are built for prison. I'll rat out whoever I have
Speaker 1: to even up.
Speaker 2: I will survive, not even forty five minutes in that place.
Speaker 2: There is no.
Speaker 1: Way I don't break away.
Speaker 2: Personality is not going to be tolerated for even forty
Speaker 2: five minutes. They don't hate me.
Speaker 1: Yep, that's why. That's why I don't. That's why I
Speaker 1: don't break the law, because I will not last. Don't
Speaker 1: come to it.
Speaker 2: I'm not that person.
Speaker 1: Yep. Fair enough, chet your whole day. All day, we're
Speaker 1: changing strut to snitch. I love it full new song.
Speaker 2: You got a you mean it free your man, I
Speaker 2: love it.
Speaker 1: Okay With that, the rest of the Dirt Devils, now
Speaker 1: without a true leader, arrived to congratulate Kapahala. They love
Speaker 1: the new park that they didn't know about as the
Speaker 1: six people who actually do this sport, and there's an
Speaker 1: entire thing there, and invite Chris to ride with him.
Speaker 1: Val joins in too, and it looks like we have
Speaker 1: a new Dirt Devil's and there's just one little thing
Speaker 1: left to do. That beautiful wedding dress is going a waste.
Speaker 1: So Sabrina, all this apparently happened in the same day
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I don't get it. I can't
Speaker 1: help him out time wise, I don't know what's happening.
Speaker 1: But Tsunami and Carla decide they are gonna get married,
Speaker 1: and we're magically transported to it. Now on the beach,
Speaker 1: everyone's thrilled, even Chris, who drinks a fruity virgin drink
Speaker 1: at the ceremony. We think it's a virgin. He could
Speaker 1: be hammered. He exchanges a smile with Kappahala, and the
Speaker 1: movie ends with Johnny, Tsunami and his grandson finally sharing
Speaker 1: a wave and then pretending to pull Chris into the water.
Speaker 1: The three men of the family walk down the beach
Speaker 1: as the credits roll. Holy, can we do some real reviews? Sabrina?
Speaker 1: You have the five star this week? What do you got?
Speaker 2: Oh man? Well, this is the five star and it's
Speaker 2: a pretty good one by Karl. I wish I can
Speaker 2: go to Hawaiian surf, but I don't know how to swim.
Speaker 2: Five stars.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much for watching our film. I have
Speaker 1: our one star by our old friend w Hunamad. That's right,
Speaker 1: unnamed his back. This was my favorite movie when I
Speaker 1: was eleven. I like I think I liked it so
Speaker 1: much because I had a crush on the guy who
Speaker 1: played Johnny. But now since I hate Disney movies and
Speaker 1: my heart belongs to somebody else, I don't enjoy it anymore.
Speaker 1: One star interesting.
Speaker 2: And just lost one follow.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'm still in love with Brandon Baker
Speaker 1: and this was not a good movie. He was great.
Speaker 1: We're now going to get to our feature presentation, Sabrina's Favorite,
Speaker 1: which is called Double Up. So sure, this movie has
Speaker 1: some age gap issues with relationships, but the real problem
Speaker 1: with Johnny Coppohaala back on Board resides in spelling. In
Speaker 1: the title, Johnny's last name is spelled I'm gonna lose
Speaker 1: all right, Oh you want to see bad? The only
Speaker 1: thing that works for me than spelling is geography. K
Speaker 1: A P A h A l A. Yet in the
Speaker 1: credits it has two l's, So make up your mind, guys.
Speaker 1: For the game, we'll get other words that may or
Speaker 1: may not have a repeated letter in it, and we
Speaker 1: have to guess yes or no. Three out of five wins.
Speaker 1: Oh God, what what unfortunate producer is going to make
Speaker 1: us look awful? Today?
Speaker 2: You have Mikayla yay is a pretty good luck charm.
Speaker 1: For me, it is Mikayla spelled m y r T
Speaker 1: hashtag apostrophe. Okay, here we go, silent que, silent Q
Speaker 1: upside down For MICHAELA, okay, here we go. What do
Speaker 1: we have for our word today? Mickayla?
Speaker 5: Okay? The first one? Battalion.
Speaker 1: Oh that's easy. Battalion has two l's, doesn't it? Oh? God,
Speaker 1: now I'm gonna question everything, doesn't it?
Speaker 5: I mean you're saying l's Is that what?
Speaker 2: Qts?
Speaker 1: Wait?
Speaker 3: What is this?
Speaker 1: It's just any repeating letter.
Speaker 2: Does it? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Does it have a repeating letter? You're saying out?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think there's two. I don't think
Speaker 1: there's to T.
Speaker 5: So you technically get it right because there are eating letters,
Speaker 5: but it's T.
Speaker 1: It's T. Yes, you did, but technically we get I'll
Speaker 1: take I'll take the win. Oh yeah, there's one L
Speaker 1: of course, be a T T A L I O N. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be writing all these out. What's our second word?
Speaker 5: Super sed?
Speaker 2: Super seded? Yeah, to ease?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree? No, damn it, god, I suck it spelling.
Speaker 1: What's the third word? This game should have just been
Speaker 1: called make will and Sabrina looks stupid. What's the third word? There?
Speaker 5: Almost be called that belligerent?
Speaker 2: Belligerate? Yes, no, yes, there's two l's right, correct?
Speaker 1: Okay, what's is there another one?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 5: Number four? Millinery?
Speaker 2: Millinery?
Speaker 1: Can you? Can you give us a country of origin
Speaker 1: and use it in a sentence? Please?
Speaker 5: The design, manufacturer and sale of ads and other head aware?
Speaker 1: Wait?
Speaker 2: Why didn't Why didn't.
Speaker 1: I knew I was going to ask, No, he didn't
Speaker 1: do this.
Speaker 5: I did it for myself.
Speaker 6: Because you knew I was going to ask millinery, millinery? No,
Speaker 6: mill in No, yes, damn it? What's what's is there?
Speaker 1: Two l's again?
Speaker 5: Two l's correct?
Speaker 4: God?
Speaker 1: Is that the end? Are there?
Speaker 5: Okay? Last one? Last one? Canceling?
Speaker 1: Yes, canceling, canceling canceling?
Speaker 2: Yes, no, no, no, no, it's a no.
Speaker 1: Worst game ever.
Speaker 2: Put a request that we cut this whole segment of
Speaker 2: this episode.
Speaker 1: I'd like to double it. Can we keep looking at words?
Speaker 1: I think we've technically won, But God, is that a win.
Speaker 1: It's a lost win.
Speaker 2: I didn't get succeed.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that is a loss for society.
Speaker 2: You one will, great job, Well.
Speaker 1: Thanks take you for that again, michaela spelled with a
Speaker 1: silent R. Can we do some Sabrina Seas? Yes?
Speaker 2: Okay. My first three is literally Sam.
Speaker 1: You, is that you?
Speaker 2: Sam blink once? That's you? Then it was the car
Speaker 2: is so Cool? And then the next one, brother, those
Speaker 2: are my three Sason movie. Okay, I loved it, and
Speaker 2: I also went damn, I can't believe we wasted our
Speaker 2: interview on bus right not not doing this movie even
Speaker 2: talked about it rather heard about this than fun fuck it.
Speaker 1: Okay, I agree.
Speaker 2: Anyways, all right, so question for you will yes, as
Speaker 2: a Sabrina Sea, did you believe or buy into Baby
Speaker 2: Uncle Chris being twelve?
Speaker 1: He seemed younger to me, he seemed much younger to
Speaker 1: seem like, he seemed like he was nine or ten. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's what I was super weird in this movie.
Speaker 2: Well, because the only thing that worked a little bit
Speaker 2: more is Brandon was clearly I mean it had we
Speaker 2: said what seven years, eight years, Brandon was clearly older.
Speaker 2: At this point, He's still young. He's still supposed to belay, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's supposed to be seventeen. He obviously wasn't, but he
Speaker 2: still looked young like, he didn't look super crazy old,
Speaker 2: but like agreed. Also, like to me, Jake did not
Speaker 2: look he didn't come across as a as a twelve
Speaker 2: year old Jake and Chris.
Speaker 1: Actually, what's funny is if you think about the ages
Speaker 1: of everyone in this movie, Johnny and Sam looked like
Speaker 1: they were probably in their mid twenties. The gang that
Speaker 1: they were dirt riding with looked like they were fifteen
Speaker 1: or sixteen, So Johnny looked older than everybody else. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the ages were really weird in this movie.
Speaker 2: They were. Yeah, it was. It was pretty strange. But
Speaker 2: that was my first like how old is this kid
Speaker 2: supposed to be? And it's like, oh, when I found
Speaker 2: out on twelve, I'm like what okay. One thing that
Speaker 2: we didn't really talk about, and I don't know why
Speaker 2: it was, it jumped out at me so much. There
Speaker 2: was a lot of kissing between do know, I mean
Speaker 2: and Carla, Like every time they were in a scene together,
Speaker 2: there was a smooch, like a like a high or
Speaker 2: a good guy or like it was constantly. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: we don't normally see that in d coms. There were
Speaker 2: and I don't know if it was to just continuously
Speaker 2: remind everyone that they were connected. Because there was obviously
Speaker 2: supposed to be an age gap between them. But I
Speaker 2: don't know why. It just kept jumping out on me.
Speaker 2: I mean they there was so we don't see moms
Speaker 2: and dads that are married and d COM's kiss good. Hello.
Speaker 1: That's true. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 2: So it kind of it wasn't that it bothered me.
Speaker 2: It just was very like, hi, okay, bye, oh hey,
Speaker 2: you're here, like a lot of kissing.
Speaker 1: I guess you know when you're when you're just about
Speaker 1: to get married, you do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, No, it makes sense. It's just it
Speaker 2: was different, I guess for what we normally see, the
Speaker 2: like interaction that happens. First of all, the two Johnny's
Speaker 2: their relationship is just a dream. It's so cute. I
Speaker 2: love it so much. Johnny's relationship is probably one of
Speaker 2: my favorite relationships. We've watched them.
Speaker 1: Is that so much?
Speaker 2: They're like so much. If there is an awards ceremony,
Speaker 2: we got to keep that in mind. Okay, okay, because
Speaker 2: I can think it's one of the best relationships we've seen.
Speaker 1: An award ceremony.
Speaker 2: There should be an award ceremony.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: One thing that was weird, so we get an and
Speaker 2: this could have just been editing and thus getting to
Speaker 2: the ninety minute mark. But the dad, Johnny's dad, the
Speaker 2: way he mentions it, it seems like his storyline is
Speaker 2: going to have a big problem with maybe the age
Speaker 2: gap and the brother that is now. And it's mentioned
Speaker 2: in the beginning that that he doesn't know who it is.
Speaker 2: Once we find out who Chris the brother is, like,
Speaker 2: it is not talked about at all the way Johnny's
Speaker 2: dad takes it in that his now brother is, you know,
Speaker 2: three decades younger than him. So, yeah, that's an interesting thing.
Speaker 2: Another thing that happens more than we've seen in a
Speaker 2: long time is kind of the I don't want to
Speaker 2: get weird about it, but the boys they're being at
Speaker 2: an older age. It makes sense, right, they are noticing
Speaker 2: girls a lot more, but this is the first time
Speaker 2: we really see like when they're driving at the very beginning,
Speaker 2: Sam and Johnny and they're like, oh, hey, like some
Speaker 2: hot girls. Then the bathing suits, and then Sam being
Speaker 2: really flirtatious, not like a we normally see a funny
Speaker 2: kind of flirtatious.
Speaker 1: He's actually like he's.
Speaker 2: Not acting, He's like, what are you doing? After said today.
Speaker 2: This was the first time I feel like as I
Speaker 2: can remember that idea of like the like kind of sexuality,
Speaker 2: like you know, the energy between you know, teenagers is
Speaker 2: really shown quite a bit, especially with the bathing suits
Speaker 2: a little more skimpy bathing suits, okay, And.
Speaker 1: They never one thing I did like those. They never
Speaker 1: put Val in any of that stuff. No, she was
Speaker 1: never dressed in like, oh, we're gonna throw her on
Speaker 1: the beach and put her in little skimpy bikinis.
Speaker 5: Like.
Speaker 1: They never did any of that, right, right, So that
Speaker 1: was it.
Speaker 2: And then there's one more. This moment was what speaking
Speaker 2: of Val, there's one more and the idea and we
Speaker 2: I talked about it earlier. She clearly was not comfortable
Speaker 2: or for whatever reason contractual or whatever ever, on an
Speaker 2: actual board doing anything, not when they were skateboard, not
Speaker 2: when they were writing nothing, nothing notice And they those
Speaker 2: fast edits actually make it to where that's what made
Speaker 2: me go, well, they definitely can't show her because they
Speaker 2: didn't have a girl dirtboard rider, right, And they show
Speaker 2: her feet and that's it. And then even when they're
Speaker 2: in the skate park later on, they don't show her
Speaker 2: at all. The only time we see her on a
Speaker 2: board is in the surf part, which she did great maybe,
Speaker 2: but yeah, so that was something that I did notice,
Speaker 2: Like she clearly as an actress, she probably didn't even
Speaker 2: bother lying like every other actor.
Speaker 1: If there's no there's nobody in the world that would
Speaker 1: answer the question do you mountain board? Yeah? Sure do
Speaker 1: ye no, but you could tell.
Speaker 2: But because we know Brandon is a skateboarder, he talked
Speaker 2: about it when we talked to him, so him and
Speaker 2: even Sam seemed like he had skateboarding, you know whatever,
Speaker 2: so they were able to show more of that. But
Speaker 2: that was something I definitely know. She's not on a
Speaker 2: board except for that state board. Yeah, that's it, all right.
Speaker 1: So we've now come to the portion of our program
Speaker 1: where we have to rate the film that we just saw.
Speaker 1: My guess is our ratings are going to be probably
Speaker 1: a little bit different this week. The Spider, yes, Spidey, sp'
Speaker 1: Spidey right.
Speaker 2: Sighty is not happy over there with Rooster. All right,
Speaker 2: I can tell.
Speaker 1: We're going to do one out of ten this week,
Speaker 1: and we're going to make one the littlest number. So
Speaker 1: that probably.
Speaker 2: Our shortest recommendations of ratings we've ever had it is.
Speaker 1: We don't have many, but I think they're good. So
Speaker 1: we're going to do one out of ten Cold Irons
Speaker 1: striking Why the Iron Is Cold, as they did eight
Speaker 1: years later, Y two k Oakley sunglass ads one out
Speaker 1: of ten, Holy Hooly Chickens one out of ten, Spidey
Speaker 1: and Roosters come on, one out of ten, Dirt Devils
Speaker 1: three second, criminal investigations one out of ten, age inappropriate
Speaker 1: relationships one out of ten, Barney Pajamas or one out
Speaker 1: of ten. Friendly business practices. I think we know what
Speaker 1: it's gonna be, don't we. Of course it's gotta be
Speaker 1: Spidey and Roosters.
Speaker 2: The good old Spidey and Roosters.
Speaker 1: Why don't we uh start with you and you tell
Speaker 1: us why you like this movie, and I'll tell you
Speaker 1: why you're wrong. Why don't we start with that?
Speaker 2: Oh man, Okay, I'm gonna admit it, and I'm I'm
Speaker 2: I'm not upset about it. I'm not ashamed. This movie,
Speaker 2: even though it was brand new to me, had such
Speaker 2: a depth of nostalgia. For me. I was this movie's
Speaker 2: biggest cheerleader through and through. I loved it. Yes, there
Speaker 2: were a couple of missteps. I do think there should
Speaker 2: be now a third one to then actually get back
Speaker 2: in the water and give me some more of what
Speaker 2: I was hoping for. And this this second movie great.
Speaker 2: But you know, I thought the movie was was a
Speaker 2: great It was cute, it was it was something. It
Speaker 2: wasn't horrible, And like I said, it was gonna have
Speaker 2: to take a horrible movie to make me have a
Speaker 2: negative tone with it. I thought. Brandon, it was so
Speaker 2: great to see him have a chance to reprise this
Speaker 2: amazing role for him, that was awesome. And also to
Speaker 2: get a lot more of We got a bit of
Speaker 2: it in the first movie, but to really dive into
Speaker 2: more of this amazing relationship between the two Johnny's was
Speaker 2: something that I thought was very cool and really what
Speaker 2: I took from it the most. I loved this relationship.
Speaker 2: Can't wait to give it an award one day, and
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stick with a solid eight bidies and roosters.
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, go Brandon. It was not horrible. It can't
Speaker 1: be horrible when you're right you have this amount of
Speaker 1: nostalgia in it. Love Brandon, love the cast. For the
Speaker 1: most part, I thought the kid was a bit of
Speaker 1: a misstep. I don't blame him, he was young, but
Speaker 1: it did. The movie did have some pretty bad plot holes, though,
Speaker 1: and some stuff that just really didn't make any sense,
Speaker 1: but just nostalgia based and Brandon based. I think I'm
Speaker 1: generously gonna give this a six point five, oh Spidey's
Speaker 1: and not even a seven, not even a No, I
Speaker 1: can't do it. I can't do it. I'm sorry, Spidey,
Speaker 1: but I can't do it. It didn't I mean, especially when
Speaker 1: you go back to how good the first one was, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, and that's hard so good. The first one
Speaker 1: is one of my favorites that we've done. I mean,
Speaker 1: this was the the Johnny Tsunami was just a really great,
Speaker 1: Oh god better you know. The clip literally popped up
Speaker 1: on my feed again of her doing the special secret
Speaker 1: move at the end with the basketball, and I wanted
Speaker 1: to rerate it even lower. It was. Yeah, so uh no,
Speaker 1: I think six point five is generous, and that's based
Speaker 1: solely on Brandon and the cast. And yeah, because it
Speaker 1: needed to rewrite the story, needed to rewrite some of
Speaker 1: the casting. Was was strange, just age wise. The timing
Speaker 1: of the movie didn't make a whole lot of sense.
Speaker 1: And again I know I'm nitpicking, but I loved the
Speaker 1: first one so much, and Brandon's so good that I'm
Speaker 1: giving it six point five.
Speaker 2: It makes it hard. It makes it hard when the
Speaker 2: first one is so good to live up to the hype.
Speaker 1: And the expectation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the first one was so so good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Lee not having Lee Thompson there, it was weird. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So there was there was some strangeness in this movie
Speaker 1: that I could not look past. And the kid was
Speaker 1: so annoying.
Speaker 2: I know, I know, And I love Jake in all
Speaker 2: of his other roles. That's just so wild. He very
Speaker 2: sometimes actually made me feel like he sound a little
Speaker 2: bit like Simba. For like a bunch of takes, it
Speaker 2: seemed like he like he's got a great little voice.
Speaker 1: I mean it was he's normally the other stuff we've
Speaker 1: seen him in and we've watched other things with him,
Speaker 1: he's very good. He is a very good child actor.
Speaker 1: He was not in this, and it must be. You know,
Speaker 1: sometimes it's the director you work with, sometimes it's the
Speaker 1: other actors you work with. But if you go back,
Speaker 1: he's fighting a smile in even very serious scenes. He's
Speaker 1: laughing inappropriate. It's little kid stuff that you do when
Speaker 1: you're a really little kid actor. I did it when
Speaker 1: I was a really little kid actor. It happens. So
Speaker 1: it's not like, oh, this this twelve year old or
Speaker 1: ten year old needs to be beaten down. No, it's
Speaker 1: not that at all. It's just it wasn't a great performance,
Speaker 1: so you know, it kind of took me out of
Speaker 1: it a little bit. And again having nothing to do
Speaker 1: with him, that his character was really annoying.
Speaker 2: Moments for his character, and again very on Disney, very
Speaker 2: on Disney, yes, for his because he wasn't meant to
Speaker 2: be the villain like character, right it right, So that, yeah,
Speaker 2: very on Disney.
Speaker 1: You know you can, you can have annoying little brother
Speaker 1: that still has moments of kind of awesomeness. We've seen
Speaker 1: it all the time in.
Speaker 2: This remember the Brink Little.
Speaker 1: God. We got to get Brink little sister and this
Speaker 1: little brother together to make the worst d coom in
Speaker 1: the history of film. That will be fine. Well, thank
Speaker 1: you everybody for joining us. By the way, I think
Speaker 1: you're probably gonna think that we're both wrong. That Spidey
Speaker 1: thought it was too good and I thought it was
Speaker 1: too bad, so somewhere in the middle is probably right,
Speaker 1: but thank you for joining us. Our next movie keeps
Speaker 1: us Near the Ocean, and it is a biographical drama
Speaker 1: based on real events from the September eleventh attacks. So
Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say this is not going
Speaker 1: to be a comedy, and it stars some very big
Speaker 1: names for a dcom. It's two thousand and fours Tiger
Speaker 1: Cruz starring Hayden Penetier and Bill Pullman. This one is
Speaker 1: available to stream on Disney Plus, so feel free to
Speaker 1: work ahead. Prep can only help you with us. But
Speaker 1: before we board the USS Constellation, we will revert back
Speaker 1: to programming The Greatest Boyfriend Ever because we chatted with
Speaker 1: the hilarious Matt Schivey, who played the annoying taxi driver
Speaker 1: big brother Bart and how to build a Better boy
Speaker 1: He was so much fun to talk to in a
Speaker 1: ton of things incredible shows and take a little listen
Speaker 1: to what you can expect from our Park Copper episode.
Speaker 3: And then I remember it was about two weeks before
Speaker 3: I graduated high school and I had no plans of
Speaker 3: going to college or anything, and my mom was like, well,
Speaker 3: we can't do the acting thing. Anymore because you need
Speaker 3: to focus on what's going to come next. And I
Speaker 3: got this audition for this Nickelodeon show Treue Jackson VP,
Speaker 3: and I read the sides and I was like, moh,
Speaker 3: I'm going to book this. And I walked into the
Speaker 3: casting office and was Christia Bullock, who I had known
Speaker 3: for many years. And I walked in. I said, this
Speaker 3: is my last audition, this last time you're going to
Speaker 3: see me. And she was like, oh my gosh, are
Speaker 3: you quitting? And I was like, no, I'm booking this.
Speaker 1: We love Matt so much. It really is a great episode.
