Speaker 1: Curiously because I know you're such a fan. What's your
Speaker 1: favorite ride at Disney at Disneyland, Yeah, at Land or
Speaker 1: World anything Disney, Like, what's your jam?
Speaker 2: Well, you know, really, I don't go on adult rides
Speaker 2: that much anymore because I've got Monroe with me, and
Speaker 2: I really love this summary of Finding Nemo. It's like,
Speaker 2: first of all, I stay cool in there, nice, and
Speaker 2: I just think it's so cute. And Monroe's like in
Speaker 2: the little circle just like and she rides it almost
Speaker 2: every single time and still is amazed by this ride.
Speaker 2: Her new one, her new one. I love that it's her,
Speaker 2: not me always. Her new one is Autotopia because she
Speaker 2: really thinks that she's driving her car, Like really she's
Speaker 2: in that Wait.
Speaker 3: A second, I'm sorry, you're you're you're ruining this for me.
Speaker 1: I'm not actually driving the car when I'm at Autotopia.
Speaker 2: Well you are, okay, but like the track what I mean?
Speaker 2: So I have to like sort of very quietly and
Speaker 2: like not let her know that I'm like helping her
Speaker 2: with the wheel because otherwise we're like bang bang, like
Speaker 2: just right left right left right left against that track.
Speaker 1: Well, did you ever try to get to pop it
Speaker 1: off the track. When you were younger driving at Autotopia,
Speaker 1: did you ever have that moment of you slam back
Speaker 1: and forth to try to actually pop it off the track?
Speaker 2: Why? No, I did.
Speaker 1: Yes, you gotta get's like you crack. You go back
Speaker 1: and forth, and occasional you'll have somebody come out to you.
Speaker 3: And be like you got it. You gotta see you
Speaker 3: gotta sum down. Well, yeah, comment down, calm it down.
Speaker 1: I had not been to Disneyland in a while, and
Speaker 1: I just went on that Star Wars ride where you
Speaker 1: end up in like the the enemy base, okay, and
Speaker 1: there's eighty eighties everywhere, like full size walkers around, and
Speaker 1: that was insane, like the Rise of the Resistance, Okay.
Speaker 2: I don't know the difference between the two of them,
Speaker 2: to be honest. There's twoo of them.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 1: One of them takes place in the Millennium Falcon and
Speaker 1: I would throw up all over everybody, And the other
Speaker 1: one is like an actual ride where it's not motion simulator.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you don't do motion simulating OOO.
Speaker 1: The only thing that's simulating is me vomiting. I do
Speaker 1: start Towars with my friend Spencer. I get horribly horribly nauseous,
Speaker 1: but I make it through the ride. I usually just
Speaker 1: shut my eyes. I do that on Harry Potter too.
Speaker 1: My wife and I yell back and forth. Is it over?
Speaker 1: So I'm walking out with my friend Spencer and the
Speaker 1: guy and we're walking behind this guy and his girlfriend,
Speaker 1: and the guy turns to his girlfriend and absolutely honestly says,
Speaker 1: that's not what hyperspace is. Like it was the greatest.
Speaker 1: He was so earnest where he was just conveyed. He's like,
Speaker 1: they that's not that's not how it was.
Speaker 2: Wow, what a joke.
Speaker 3: It was so funny because he was just so.
Speaker 2: Real and irritated, like irritated because they did not do
Speaker 2: that correct.
Speaker 3: Now they got it wrong. It was so funny.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Magical Rewind. I'm Wilfredell, I'm Sabrina Bryan,
Speaker 1: and oh boy, I just want to say this. So
Speaker 1: today we were reviewing a very special movie to not
Speaker 1: only my friend and co host Sabrina here, but also
Speaker 1: to an entire generation of especially girls all over the world. Now,
Speaker 1: at the time, this was by far the highest rated
Speaker 1: movie in the history of d com, so much so
Speaker 1: that it arguably changed the entire way Disney saw their
Speaker 1: original movies forever. Now, all I really have to say
Speaker 1: about this film is bubbles, choucci, aqua and do Now.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to get crunched like cornships here, So
Speaker 1: let's jump into this jiggy jungle together because we don't
Speaker 1: want to open this box behind your backs.
Speaker 3: Let's just hope we don't look tore up and.
Speaker 1: JANKI as we do whatever's clever to keep the Cheetah
Speaker 1: Girls on the prowl.
Speaker 2: Wow. Oh well, I knew you were gonna love the
Speaker 2: Cheetah Chata. I knew it. I'm so happy to blow.
Speaker 3: Your mind amazing.
Speaker 1: Before we deep dive into it, let's do a very
Speaker 1: quick synopsis A four as if we need to for
Speaker 1: anybody out there listening.
Speaker 3: A four member girl.
Speaker 1: Group named the Cheetah Girls hope to become the first
Speaker 1: freshman to win their high school's talent show. But during
Speaker 1: the auditions, they're discovered by a big time producer who
Speaker 1: wants to turn the girls into superstars. Will the prospect
Speaker 1: of fame break best friends apart or make.
Speaker 3: Them closer than ever?
Speaker 1: We can get into the stars and all that stuff,
Speaker 1: because it's star studded especially in the world of young actors.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's Raven Simone as Galleria. We raven icon
Speaker 1: in the Disney Channel world. That's so Raven's Home, which
Speaker 1: is the reboot. But she started on Cosby Show hanging
Speaker 1: with mister Cooper. I mean, she is truly a television icon.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, and that was one of my favorite things, honestly.
Speaker 2: To rewatch this movie was to just I mean, she
Speaker 2: blew me away. She's just so good, so good, and
Speaker 2: she nails this character like in just an unreal level.
Speaker 2: Like literally I loved it. I mean, I'm a fan
Speaker 2: from The Cosby Show me Too, and she was by
Speaker 2: far the cue like I wanted one day a little
Speaker 2: girl that looked just like her, Like I just wanted
Speaker 2: her personality, her sass, and she was just so cute.
Speaker 2: And then this movie she killed Well.
Speaker 3: See here's the thing.
Speaker 1: The Cosby Show fell into that trope that television shows
Speaker 1: often fall into. You see it all the time. We
Speaker 1: saw it on Family Ties, you see it everywhere where.
Speaker 1: The kids grow up aren't as cute, so they bring
Speaker 1: on another kid, and a lot of times it doesn't work.
Speaker 1: The kid is just kind of there and doesn't really
Speaker 1: fit into a cast that's already there. Raven came on
Speaker 1: as this little kid and stole the show.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: As I was sitting there watching her, her facial expressions,
Speaker 1: the way that she was selling everything, it reminded me
Speaker 1: of the first time I saw Claire Danes on My
Speaker 1: So Called Life, where everything's written on her face in
Speaker 1: such a way that you could just follow all the
Speaker 1: little She was awesome.
Speaker 3: So that's Raven.
Speaker 1: And then we've got Adrian Bilone is Chanelle Simmons.
Speaker 3: Or Choucci, which is great.
Speaker 1: She was a member of the actual girl group three
Speaker 1: l W and later became a co host on the
Speaker 1: daytime talk show The Real and He News.
Speaker 2: Yes and she won an Emmy. On the reel they
Speaker 2: won an Emmy?
Speaker 3: Did they really? Yes? Yes.
Speaker 1: Then there was some girl named Sabrina Bryan who played
Speaker 1: Dorinda Thomas Ordeaux.
Speaker 2: Rush off the streets of Orge County and slaying a
Speaker 2: New Yorker.
Speaker 1: Hiding a secret that she's kept from her girls the
Speaker 1: entire time. But Sabrina was also on The Bold and Beautiful.
Speaker 1: She was a Cheetah Girl's mainstay. The first Dancing with
Speaker 1: the Stars contestant to get a perfect score from her
Speaker 1: season where she was robbed.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say it of making the finals.
Speaker 1: In my completely and totally unbiased opinion, Keey Williams aka Aqua,
Speaker 1: who herself was another member of three l W, leaving
Speaker 1: only one three l W member not in the movie,
Speaker 1: and now that third member, Naurie Naughton, is on the
Speaker 1: show Power.
Speaker 3: So this is.
Speaker 1: I want to We'll get into everything that you know.
Speaker 1: I'll do the basics very quickly. It was directed by
Speaker 1: Oz Scott. It was written by Alison Taylor, based on
Speaker 1: a very successful book series by Debora Gregory.
Speaker 3: Did I say that right? Yes?
Speaker 1: And most importantly though, and the coolest thing, and I didn't.
Speaker 1: I'm sure everyone else in the world knew this and
Speaker 1: I didn't. This movie was produced by Whitney Houston.
Speaker 3: Yup, did you meet Did you meet her? No?
Speaker 2: Is sh No, I didn't, but I did. So this
Speaker 2: was like the first job I had ever done as
Speaker 2: an eighteen year old, meaning I was on set by myself. Right.
Speaker 2: So I show up in Toronto and two things happened
Speaker 2: in and there's a newspaper on the table that says
Speaker 2: the Anahe'm Angels, which is you know from Orange County
Speaker 2: won the World Series. Okay, very cool. The next thing,
Speaker 2: I look over and there's a gorgeous bouquet of flowers
Speaker 2: with a note from Whitney Houston. So she knew she
Speaker 2: wasn't going to be able to make you know, the
Speaker 2: tape beings. I think she was on tour. I can't remember,
Speaker 2: but she was obviously very busy, but she did. And
Speaker 2: I still have it.
Speaker 3: You still have the note? Really?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah? Oh yeah? And you know it's funny. I
Speaker 2: do things like that that are really important to me.
Speaker 2: I put them in different places, like when I find it,
Speaker 2: I'll put it somewhere else, and then I'll find it
Speaker 2: again and it's like, oh, I still have this. This
Speaker 2: is so cool. So yeah, that's definitely something I will
Speaker 2: always hold on to. And it's just so grateful to even,
Speaker 2: you know, get the opportunity to be in her movie.
Speaker 2: One of her best friends is Deborah Martin Chase, who
Speaker 2: did Cinderella or Disney with her. They produced it together
Speaker 2: as well as Sister of the Tribling Pants. I mean,
Speaker 2: she was all girl power, girl you know, storylines. It
Speaker 2: was about getting more and more women to the frontline
Speaker 2: of the storylines. That's like what she's done, and obviously
Speaker 2: she's done an incredible time. She princessed Diaries with Well.
Speaker 1: That's the thing is most people don't realize how big.
Speaker 1: I mean they know her from her singing and everything,
Speaker 1: but she was a huge movie producer as well.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well Deborah Martin Chase was the backing of
Speaker 2: all that. So, I mean we had heavy hitters that
Speaker 2: brought that this project to the Channel that were so
Speaker 2: inspired and wanted to make this big and they did.
Speaker 1: It well yeah, I mean, talk about a perfect ip
Speaker 1: to bring to Disney Channel. I mean it was like
Speaker 1: this was you can see Disney executives as this film
Speaker 1: is screening, as the numbers are coming in, you can
Speaker 1: see them going, oh, oh, this is what we're supposed
Speaker 1: to be doing. A bunch of young women who are
Speaker 1: you know, fighting for themselves, that are fighting the way
Speaker 1: in the world, that are also musical and dancing.
Speaker 3: It was just the perfect combination.
Speaker 2: I mean multicultural, yeah, every single one of us. You know,
Speaker 2: it was such a great setting the stage of really
Speaker 2: pushing the world and girl power and that whole movement
Speaker 2: forward that was and it was strategically done and you know,
Speaker 2: it was it was awesome. It was really really awesome.
Speaker 3: It was also done way before anybody else was doing it.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is two thousand and three, so the
Speaker 1: diverse Disney was ahead of the curve when it came
Speaker 1: to diversity and everything else, and watching this film you
Speaker 1: could see it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And they did that with the whole franchise with
Speaker 2: us because the next one goes to Spain, so we
Speaker 2: brought a lot of like Flamina, don't.
Speaker 3: Ruin it, don't ruin it. I want to. I haven't
Speaker 3: seen the second one yet.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it takes two seconds to know that
Speaker 2: the third one, by the way, is in India.
Speaker 3: Oh man, you're killing me, you know.
Speaker 2: But it just it's they were so good about and
Speaker 2: that's wow. The Channel was actually expanding into those territories
Speaker 2: as well, right, So the Channel was pushing It was
Speaker 2: synergy and it you know, it made sense time wise
Speaker 2: for them. But it also being musical, brought in different
Speaker 2: cultures as we move along with the Cheetah Girls and we'll.
Speaker 1: Get that walking out yeah, yeah, which is an amazing idea.
Speaker 1: So just to talk a little bit about how huge
Speaker 1: this film was. It debuted on August fifteenth, two thousand
Speaker 1: and three, to six point five million viewers. Now that's
Speaker 1: on it, like the Disney Channel. That's insane. That's an
Speaker 1: unheard of number at the time. Yeah, and one that
Speaker 1: you can't get anywhere nowadays, just doesn't happen.
Speaker 2: And there was a huge blackout the night of our
Speaker 2: premiere in New York. Really do you remember that big
Speaker 2: blackout happened and people were walking across.
Speaker 3: The bridge the bridge. Yeah, that was the.
Speaker 2: Night of our movie. So we got that number without
Speaker 2: like a bit like New York, like, oh man, you
Speaker 2: couldn't even see it that night.
Speaker 1: The DVD would go to sell over a million copies,
Speaker 1: and to this day it's still regularly considered the number
Speaker 1: one Disney Channel movie of all time because it was
Speaker 1: just so successful. It was the most successful debut ever.
Speaker 1: So you're eighteen years old, this is the first job
Speaker 1: you've done where you're there by yourself.
Speaker 3: It's this kind of success right away.
Speaker 1: How did your life change from August four fifteenth to
Speaker 1: August sixteenth?
Speaker 2: Not really much. I was in college working at a
Speaker 2: tan being salon selling my tanny packages and it was
Speaker 2: like when I booked it, as we know and are
Speaker 2: going to find out how many Disney Channel original movies
Speaker 2: there are right, there was one at that time, like
Speaker 2: once a month. So we went and we rehearsed for
Speaker 2: about three weeks in La shot in Toronto. For I
Speaker 2: want to say, the hardest part for me with all
Speaker 2: of that was juggling college. So I came home, had
Speaker 2: to do my midterms one week, then the next week
Speaker 2: I had to do my finals. So I was still studying
Speaker 2: and doing stuff like that while we were filming. And
Speaker 2: then the movie premiered, and of course I was excited
Speaker 2: because that was a dream job. Once you got on,
Speaker 2: I knew I looked young enough to play high school
Speaker 2: for a while. And once you got a Disney Channel movie,
Speaker 2: synergy goes a lot of times they pulled you into
Speaker 2: their shows. So I was thinking this was an opportunity
Speaker 2: of a lifetime for me to hopefully my dream was
Speaker 2: to be on the Disney Channel. So this is what
Speaker 2: I was so excited about. I didn't find out and
Speaker 2: I will never forget. Deborah Martin Chase, producer, calls me.
Speaker 2: I'm working at my Danning salon. She calls me about
Speaker 2: I don't even know how long it took, but she said,
Speaker 2: I just wanted to let you know you're a platinum
Speaker 2: selling artist, and I was like what, I had no
Speaker 2: idea that it was selling that well. I knew it
Speaker 2: was doing pretty well, but Disney didn't even really do
Speaker 2: a lot of like marketing at the time for it.
Speaker 2: They kind of just put it out on the shelves,
Speaker 2: didn't advertise a lot, and just went to see if
Speaker 2: it would work. And it did.
Speaker 3: Now, but wait a second, I want to go back.
Speaker 1: You're in college, you're working at a tanning salon, you're
Speaker 1: in a sorority.
Speaker 3: Did anybody I don't know why.
Speaker 2: I loved telling people.
Speaker 3: Because it's awesome.
Speaker 1: That's how we're I mean, that's the dream is you're
Speaker 1: working one job and then you get your break. So
Speaker 1: but did any of your friends at college? Did they
Speaker 1: know you were going to do this thing? Or did
Speaker 1: you just bounce?
Speaker 2: They knew, you know, but again, like the friends that
Speaker 2: I was really close to and really knew what I
Speaker 2: was going through, but no one was ready for what
Speaker 2: happened my sophomore year when it came out and just
Speaker 2: like exploded, like.
Speaker 1: Well that's I mean, did you did you come back
Speaker 1: and were you like, you know, the big person on
Speaker 1: campus where all of a sudden, everybody knew who you were.
Speaker 2: I didn't do that. I would like if it was
Speaker 2: until anything was out. I didn't do that. Did you
Speaker 2: ever have jobs that like didn't work out?
Speaker 1: Basically every single one I had, except I can pick
Speaker 1: one or two that were awesome and the rest of them.
Speaker 3: Are you just do your job? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, like, like I booked a Christina Aguilera
Speaker 2: music video, right, I was like the head person of
Speaker 2: one of her vignettes. She had three, and I was
Speaker 2: so excited. I couldn't This was in high school. I
Speaker 2: couldn't keep it in. I had to tell people, this
Speaker 2: was so cool. This was like Christina right, Big Days.
Speaker 2: It was her second album, was I think Extina was
Speaker 2: what she went by at that time. Huge, And the
Speaker 2: video came out and my vignette got cut, So after
Speaker 2: that it was like I didn't tell anyone really much
Speaker 2: of anything until it came out.
Speaker 1: That's probably gu's probably the best way to do it
Speaker 1: those VideA Yeah, and you never know when you're gonna
Speaker 1: end up on the coking. Ironically, I was in the
Speaker 1: other two vignettes, Oh my Heart out with Christina.
Speaker 2: So you're the one that stole my screen time.
Speaker 3: I told everybody, and it just worked out like a charm.
Speaker 1: When we talk about, for instance, when we were on
Speaker 1: Boy Mets World and you're in school, you have a
Speaker 1: mandatory numberumber of hours you have to do school every day.
Speaker 3: You know, you do the hours whatever.
Speaker 2: It's the worst it is.
Speaker 3: But at the same time, at least you're getting your
Speaker 3: stuff done.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but it's like doing homework for three you're
Speaker 2: not Yeah, you're not listening to a lecture.
Speaker 3: It's a lot.
Speaker 1: But you're an adult now, you're eighteen and in college,
Speaker 1: so it's just on you to just keep up your grades. Right.
Speaker 1: You know, there's no allocated time on your set for
Speaker 1: you to do that kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: Did you have trouble juggling both?
Speaker 2: No, Now for the cheat of fan based and all
Speaker 2: the you know, grolpower and keeping your head in the game.
Speaker 2: I would love to say yes, but no, I didn't.
Speaker 2: I procrastinated and just like didn't sleep for a few
Speaker 2: weeks towards the end when I was about to go
Speaker 2: back to school and start doing my test. Okay, I
Speaker 2: was just having way too fun on set and offset
Speaker 2: we were doing, you know, we were all going to
Speaker 2: dinners together and you know what I mean, it was
Speaker 2: just like I knew again, thinking this was going to
Speaker 2: be you know, a few months and then I'm probably
Speaker 2: never going to get to hang out with these girls again,
Speaker 2: like this is this is?
Speaker 3: Had you met any of them before you got the part?
Speaker 2: We all auditioned together except for Keighley. So originally Solange Knowles,
Speaker 2: Beyonce's little sister, was cast as Aqua Kiley's character. Okay,
Speaker 2: and then I our fans are going to know the
Speaker 2: Disney Channel building floor twenty one was the audition floor
Speaker 2: that you go to course the part that they had.
Speaker 2: So they had booked Solange, Adrian and Raven those were
Speaker 2: already like done deals. They were looking for my part.
Speaker 2: So I walk in and it's all different ethnicities, like
Speaker 2: no one looked really like the same sure, and they
Speaker 2: were looking for this last missing person. So we were
Speaker 2: all getting it was like the especially the last call
Speaker 2: was us getting pulled in with the three of them
Speaker 2: to seek chemistry to see what we look like on screen.
Speaker 3: So was it instant? I mean, did you know right
Speaker 3: away that you had Adrian?
Speaker 2: I mean, I was a huge thrill that would be
Speaker 2: a fan. So Adrian passed me and I was like,
Speaker 2: and then Raven comes in and I'm like, and then
Speaker 2: of course, but be keeping.
Speaker 3: It totally cool, freaking out in my head.
Speaker 2: Like and then Solange because she was really starting to
Speaker 2: like be on a lot of like Beyonce's stuff, and
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, she was just really starting
Speaker 2: to get a lot of a lot of limelight. And
Speaker 2: she walked in and I was like, that cannot be.
Speaker 2: That can't be Beyonce's sister. There's just no way. There's
Speaker 2: no way, There's no way. And then I walk in
Speaker 2: and I read one of the scenes we're going to
Speaker 2: talk about. That's the audition piece that I had, which
Speaker 2: was a really fun experience. But then they make me dance.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna say. Is it just acting like
Speaker 1: you have to sing and dance too? Right?
Speaker 2: Yeah? And back then that's when you brought your KARAOKEI tape.
Speaker 2: Those were auditions. Yeah, the stape recorder boom press.
Speaker 3: Play What'd you sing?
Speaker 2: City Lights? By Judy Garland.
Speaker 1: Hi.
Speaker 2: It's got this high note in it that I used
Speaker 2: to be able to hit. There's probably no way I
Speaker 2: haven't done that song. It's so long, but yeah, it's
Speaker 2: like a Broadway vibe, which is not what the music
Speaker 2: and the two girls is. It's all but that was
Speaker 2: really what I studied a lot, you know, growing up.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you get the part and now you go
Speaker 1: to three weeks worth rehearsal. What are you rehearsing the routine?
Speaker 1: It's all dancing and singing the whole time, right, all dancing,
Speaker 1: so just physical all day long? Is it eight hours
Speaker 1: of dancing and singing.
Speaker 2: Well that's when Raven and Keeley, because they were still
Speaker 2: in school, that's when they had to do school. So
Speaker 2: it was a lot of downtime so that me and
Speaker 2: Adrian weren't like just dancing without them, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean. So they we did have like breaks, a
Speaker 2: lot of breaks and stuff like that because they had
Speaker 2: to get those three hours in. But yeah, dancing, I
Speaker 2: mean all of the movies took three weeks of rehearsal,
Speaker 2: all three of them, because it's a lot stage gen
Speaker 2: you know, learning choreography. It's not like they most choreographers
Speaker 2: that we worked with didn't necessarily come with it like done.
Speaker 2: It was like they were building on it, you know.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was it was and the choreographer of
Speaker 2: the movie ended up being in the movie. He had
Speaker 2: he had a little spot. He was the one that
Speaker 2: was doing the audition.
Speaker 1: That's what I figured for for that. Yeah, the gold
Speaker 1: Power whatever they were. Yeah, oh I love that. Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: you not only had to learn singing and dancy, but
Speaker 1: you also had to learn basically an entire language.
Speaker 3: Did you know any of the lingo going in.
Speaker 2: And you no, no, so only from Kighley. Now, Keighley's
Speaker 2: like a bookworm, so she read all of the Cheetah books.
Speaker 2: That was one of the things she was doing in
Speaker 2: her school time, and so she'd come out and like
Speaker 2: obviously when we read the script, we we saw that stuff,
Speaker 2: but she was like, I mean, she could just jabber
Speaker 2: in that cheetah language like so well, and she would
Speaker 2: just sit and crack me up because it was like,
Speaker 2: what are you trying to even say?
Speaker 1: Did you please tell me you started talking like that
Speaker 1: off the set that you were all doing the Cheetah.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, especially when we were talking to fans, like
Speaker 2: we would bring up that, like, I mean, everything was cheatahlelicious. Obviously,
Speaker 2: Groul Power we had a grow Power Productions. When we
Speaker 2: started doing tours, like we put you know. Yeah, we
Speaker 2: we embraced the Cheetah life, and that includes the Cheetah chatter.
Speaker 1: The Cheetah chatter is there, Cheatah? Do you still slip
Speaker 1: into Cheetah chatter in your regular daily Yes?
Speaker 2: And I swear Cheetah constantly.
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 2: My daughter wore a lot of it, my poor son,
Speaker 2: my carrier. Yeah, it's Cheetah.
Speaker 3: Have they seen the movie yet?
Speaker 2: So when I went to rewatch it, Monroe was popping in. Now.
Speaker 2: She did at some point leave and turn her eyepat
Speaker 2: on it and go watch Mahana. I was bury upsetting.
Speaker 3: It was wrong.
Speaker 2: Off. I kind of was like, wow, okay, that was rude,
Speaker 2: but year three, so I'll give you a pass. Then
Speaker 2: she ended up coming back and at the very end
Speaker 2: will she looks at me and goes, Mommy, I want
Speaker 2: to be a Chetah girl in there. I'm like, what
Speaker 2: do you mean? She's like, I want to be a
Speaker 2: Chetah girl and do Cheetah movies.
Speaker 3: There you go? How awesome? Is that?
Speaker 2: Anything you want, baby, I'll get you an acting coach
Speaker 2: right now. I just picked up my phone like, okay,
Speaker 2: here we go. Who's in orange Cown? Just no, literally,
Speaker 2: it was just like the best moment because she's never
Speaker 2: watched them. She's just now getting to be able to
Speaker 2: sit down. Like I said, she laughed. She doesn't have
Speaker 2: that attention to being one hundred percent, But when the
Speaker 2: music came on, she was always guy. She loves dancing,
Speaker 2: So that was definitely a moment I'll never forget. And
Speaker 2: I'm so glad that we you know, this new thing
Speaker 2: I'm doing is watching this kind of stuff. But she's
Speaker 2: gonna get.
Speaker 3: To watch all the movies, all the movies.
Speaker 2: I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: Well, you mentioned getting a random call from the producer
Speaker 1: and finding out that you're a platinum selling artist. So
Speaker 1: all the auditions are all the times the Cheetah Girls sing,
Speaker 1: or even when the Sonic Band sings at the end,
Speaker 1: they all become you break the fourth wall, and they
Speaker 1: all become music videos.
Speaker 2: That was one of the things I was going to
Speaker 2: talk about that I've found that odd. How did you
Speaker 2: find it?
Speaker 3: I found it odd, but I got it.
Speaker 1: I got why Disney did it, because you know, we
Speaker 1: talk about the synergy. They could just lift it out
Speaker 1: of the film if they wanted to and just throw
Speaker 1: it up as a video. Oh okay, Yeah, And you
Speaker 1: know you went and you recorded all the music, right,
Speaker 1: you're all singing together.
Speaker 2: We recorded separately, Oh you did?
Speaker 3: You didn't record together?
Speaker 2: No, okay, well, at different times that we go in
Speaker 2: with the different producers we were working with, and everyone
Speaker 2: had their own you know times. I was a lot
Speaker 2: of times hooked in with like Raven's time, because the
Speaker 2: two girls were in the same group, so they had
Speaker 2: a lot of the same scheduling.
Speaker 3: So that makes sense.
Speaker 2: I would come either before or after Raven so, and
Speaker 2: they had in the script it was already divvied out
Speaker 2: who was singing, what line, all that. That was all
Speaker 2: written ahead of time.
Speaker 3: It was also yeah, but you so.
Speaker 1: The album not only went platinum, it went double platinum.
Speaker 1: It charted number one on the Billboard Kids Album Chart
Speaker 1: and spent a total of sixty five weeks on the chart.
Speaker 3: That's nuts. Now, there's one.
Speaker 1: Song obviously that's still everywhere and has been living on forever,
Speaker 1: and that's Cinderella.
Speaker 3: Do you remember the first time you actually heard the song?
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean it was obviously during rehearsal, because recording
Speaker 2: process happened like on days that we weren't rehearsing or
Speaker 2: we could leave early. That kind of stuff. So we
Speaker 2: were doing that as well schedule, and so yeah, we
Speaker 2: heard like the demo, we were dancing to the demo
Speaker 2: before it was us, and it just was so catchy
Speaker 2: and so, you know, it was a great song. But
Speaker 2: I didn't realize how amazing it was going to be
Speaker 2: until we filmed it and we were in those costumes
Speaker 2: and it just like, I don't know, it just it
Speaker 2: felt so magical, like more than obviously the first song
Speaker 2: right where we're like, we don't look polished, and it's kind.
Speaker 3: Of like whereverywhere stuck? I mean, this is this is
Speaker 3: a yeah I fall you know, yeah, that's where you first.
Speaker 1: Grem with seven year olds or whatever whoever's watching your
Speaker 1: your breakdown here right.
Speaker 2: So yeah, So it definitely was a different feeling recording
Speaker 2: that one, right, and and a different feeling filming it
Speaker 2: for sure, Like it just felt slick and felt it
Speaker 2: felt really awesome.
Speaker 3: You do the flippy thing right there at the very beginning.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's called an aerial.
Speaker 1: Were you a gymnast? Like where'd you learn to do
Speaker 1: all the flippy stuff? Was this from dancing or were
Speaker 1: you actually into gymnastics?
Speaker 2: It's from dancing, Yeah, I did. I did like tumbling
Speaker 2: and dance, so I would go to like a y
Speaker 2: m c A or a different you know, kIPS or
Speaker 2: gymnastics studio where it was they had everything, but I
Speaker 2: only focused on like the floor tumbling. So you would
Speaker 2: do that when I was like competitively dancing, like I had,
Speaker 2: I had more than what we filmed at that time,
Speaker 2: Like I had decent trick, nothing crazy, but like, you know, yeah,
Speaker 2: I definitely knew how to do that gymnastics, but never
Speaker 2: the bars or that thing you run at so fast
Speaker 2: and it looks like.
Speaker 1: Oh the pommel is that the pommel horse or the
Speaker 1: yeah whatever, you run full speed into a wall exactly.
Speaker 2: As I would trip every time. There's a zero chance
Speaker 2: I could have done that. But yeah, but I could
Speaker 2: do the tumbling, and you know, as a dancer when
Speaker 2: you're in the industry, that's one of the things that
Speaker 2: like sets you apart. Like I'm sure that was helpful,
Speaker 2: and I'm sure I did it in the little tiny
Speaker 2: room of my audition. I probably make sure that they
Speaker 2: knew I could do that.
Speaker 3: You know, were you you did?
Speaker 1: You really just do it on the street with no
Speaker 1: matt in the scene where they're you're all in the
Speaker 1: very beginning.
Speaker 3: You just busted them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're really easy.
Speaker 3: They're really not. I'm guessing no, they are.
Speaker 2: They are the group of girls that I coached. I
Speaker 2: have twenty two of them. They can all do right, Aeriel,
Speaker 2: every single one one, like on cue on time. It's
Speaker 2: not it's not as hard of a trick as it looks.
Speaker 2: It's scary because you're not you don't put your hands down,
Speaker 2: but it's not as hard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hurt myself with you talking about it, so
Speaker 1: I'm guessing it's probably hard.
Speaker 2: You know what, I haven't done one since I've I
Speaker 2: have had my first baby, so I think I'm gonna
Speaker 2: have to video it and see if I can still
Speaker 2: do that.
Speaker 1: Area you go a post baby aerial, let's give itba.
Speaker 2: I haven't done it at all, So I think it's time.
Speaker 1: Maybe throw Matt down. I would think just to kind
Speaker 1: of maybe just oh casey, it wouldn't be bad.
Speaker 3: So you guys go on tour. Is this right?
Speaker 1: Miley Cyrus Cyrus's hand in Montana open for you guys.
Speaker 1: The Jonas brothers were there, Vanessa Hudgens, I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: but you were. You were the headliners, right, And you
Speaker 1: know what's funny.
Speaker 2: I just watched them the Jonas Brothers documentary and they
Speaker 2: talk about driving around in this twelve person white van.
Speaker 2: That's what they drove behind our bus in. They were
Speaker 2: still really new to the label, so they were, you know,
Speaker 2: an opening.
Speaker 3: Act following the Cheetah Girls.
Speaker 2: Or were so sweet. They were the best guys. They
Speaker 2: were so awesome and really all throughout their career when
Speaker 2: we would see them over and over again as they
Speaker 2: got bigger and bigger, and they mean they were like
Speaker 2: the Beatles at some point. Yeah, considered that like that
Speaker 2: the most down to earth, so fun, so sweet, I mean,
Speaker 2: just the best.
Speaker 3: That's awesome.
Speaker 1: Well, as you know, we often do here, and by often,
Speaker 1: I mean this is the second time you've done it,
Speaker 1: because it's our second episode, but we're going.
Speaker 3: To keep doing it. Is we do real reviews.
Speaker 1: So we do a five star review that is a
Speaker 1: real review from the internet machine, and then we also
Speaker 1: do a one star review. I think last last week
Speaker 1: you did the one star, so I'm going to take
Speaker 1: the one star that time you take the five star.
Speaker 3: Let's do the good review first. What do you got?
Speaker 2: All right? It says five out of five stars. Absolutely
Speaker 2: the best movie of all time, no comparison. It's so
Speaker 2: inspiring to me as a person and a man, as
Speaker 2: I want to become a cheetah one day night.
Speaker 3: It's a great review. Five out of five stars.
Speaker 2: Yes, and I mean i'd like him to know he
Speaker 2: is if you're a fan and you feel the essence
Speaker 2: of Cheetah.
Speaker 3: So I'm a Cheetah?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: Oh Raoul Love?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Absolutely?
Speaker 3: Oh I rawl love.
Speaker 1: Did I do that right? Here's a review that's not
Speaker 1: as good. This is from Kaylin. It is one out
Speaker 1: of five stars. And every time my voice gets highed,
Speaker 1: it's because it's in caps. Okay, he says, I watched
Speaker 1: the Cheetah Girls Marathon with my cousin and it was
Speaker 1: the worst thing I've ever experienced, and it made my
Speaker 1: head hurt so much.
Speaker 3: Frownie face.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe split them up. Don't watch Jamal in a row.
Speaker 1: I mean even the Star Wars movies in a row.
Speaker 1: You start to get a headache halfway through Empire, so
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, you break it up. The first
Speaker 1: movie was great. I haven't seen the second one yet.
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to to rain on anybody's parade. Maybe
Speaker 1: the second one is not as good. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but the first one is great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in my opinion, the second one's better.
Speaker 3: But really so yeah oh yeah.
Speaker 2: But there's also like if it's not your jam, Like
Speaker 2: if you're like somebody who doesn't really like music or
Speaker 2: you prefer a different genre of music, you're obviously like
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, And it's like it's okay
Speaker 2: to not like it, just you.
Speaker 3: Know, in all fairness, I am not a musical guy.
Speaker 1: Like I don't like when I'm watching a movie and
Speaker 1: then everybody suddenly breaks into song like they've sat around
Speaker 1: and rehearsed.
Speaker 3: But The Cheetah Girls is about a band, So every
Speaker 3: time you break into song, you're supposed to break into song.
Speaker 3: You're a band singing a song. It makes sense.
Speaker 1: Yet it's not like you're sitting at a bank and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, everybody in line knows the same
Speaker 1: song and dance.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Oh it drives me crazy. But this is so great.
Speaker 2: That's what I'll say about this movie. There the performances
Speaker 2: routines that are done with this one is definitely that way.
Speaker 2: It's set up as a performance.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, exactly when the.
Speaker 2: Channel started moving along with their with their musicals. It
Speaker 2: definitely went away with that. So that's what something I
Speaker 2: noticed rewatching this that I never really thought about is
Speaker 2: they must have seen ours and went, now, we don't
Speaker 2: like it that way. We wanted to be more like
Speaker 2: a musical where you do just break out into song.
Speaker 2: Our second movie, i'd say, is like a combo of.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's a hybrid. Oh okay, so sometimes their breakout okay, well, but.
Speaker 2: If you watch, you know, if you watch like high
Speaker 2: School musical, I know you haven't seen that yet. I
Speaker 2: haven't seen that one yet either, but it's gonna be.
Speaker 2: It's definitely not a set group because they're you know,
Speaker 2: they're all from different breaks.
Speaker 3: Right, It's like Glee where they just break in the song.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: Talking about the talent auditions, because that's we're talking about
Speaker 1: just breaking into song.
Speaker 3: But you walk down as a band.
Speaker 1: Now you're auditioning for the first time to Cheetah moms
Speaker 1: sneak in to watch the audition. They sneak in under
Speaker 1: the cover of scarves, which I always see the cheetash
Speaker 1: scarves the interesting way to go. They are unobtrusive as
Speaker 1: the only two people in the entire auditorium other than
Speaker 1: drink a champagne.
Speaker 2: So, which isn't that so funny that that name it
Speaker 2: drinks champagne on the channel?
Speaker 3: You know what it reminded me of.
Speaker 1: It reminded me of a James Bond girl like woman
Speaker 1: likes James Bond. Women all have those terrible names and
Speaker 1: uh yeah, Zenya on the top and I won't even
Speaker 1: say some of them. But it did drink a champagne
Speaker 1: sounded like an evil James Bond villain. But we're sitting
Speaker 1: there and then we get to meet one of the
Speaker 1: creepiest producers who doesn't look like a producer at all.
Speaker 1: He looks like a random drug kingpin, Jackal Johnson.
Speaker 2: Was he is there outfit in the scene? I'm thinking
Speaker 2: yes he was.
Speaker 3: I think he was in velor for most of the
Speaker 3: film the whole time.
Speaker 2: Yes, But you know what, I will say, many music
Speaker 2: producers dressed like that. That was back in the day
Speaker 2: with the like are they really well were the brands
Speaker 2: like boo boo oh u p Did he had a
Speaker 2: brand that what you know, those like bigger, baggier, matching, top, matching,
Speaker 2: Sean John Jacket, Yes, Sewn John, Yes, Yes, there you go.
Speaker 2: I mean so a lot of producers actually did look
Speaker 2: like that. I thought he did so well with the bar.
Speaker 1: He's great, Oh it was, He's great, you know instantly.
Speaker 1: First of all, it's like, why would you trust this
Speaker 1: guy off the bat, even though he went to the
Speaker 1: school he knows Drinka just going from now on, even
Speaker 1: know no one's behind me and no one knows about me,
Speaker 1: but all the producers, everybody knows.
Speaker 3: I'm not great with scheduling. I'm still trying.
Speaker 1: So from now on, I just want to start going
Speaker 1: schedule and just have somebody hand me now that Jack, that.
Speaker 2: Guy, every line he has was like just made me
Speaker 2: corrac I don't know why, if it was his delivery,
Speaker 2: if it was what he was having to say, but
Speaker 2: every time he just popped in, it was schedule.
Speaker 3: Schedule.
Speaker 1: It's gonna start doing that and hope somebody hands me
Speaker 1: a gigantic cell phone or BlackBerry that he has to
Speaker 1: uh to check his actual schedule. Yes, now, did you
Speaker 1: have a problem with how much of a Hater's not
Speaker 1: the right word, but standing in the way of Bubbles's dreams?
Speaker 1: Her mom was like, right away, you figure you want
Speaker 1: to build into that a little bit like, hey, there's
Speaker 1: an opportunity. But she came in off the bat, like,
Speaker 1: you're not doing this under no circumstances? Am I going
Speaker 1: to allow you your record contract?
Speaker 2: So there is a whole and I think it happens
Speaker 2: in the books. There is a whole backstory of bubbles
Speaker 2: and chew cheese mop Like, are they general Cheetah girls?
Speaker 1: They were the original Cheetah Girls, Like they were as
Speaker 1: an actual band called the Cheetah Girls that the moms
Speaker 1: were a part of.
Speaker 2: No, but they were. They are in the industry in
Speaker 2: some form.
Speaker 3: Well, she says modeling. She says, my modeling career.
Speaker 2: That's where Galleria and Chanel get this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so she talks.
Speaker 2: She talks about the career, but doesn't talk about how
Speaker 2: big it was. You can tell something happened with her
Speaker 2: career that made she feels we're bad decisions right, like right,
Speaker 2: detrimental to the rest of her other decisions. So you
Speaker 2: see a little bit. But yeah, it's like, whoa, we
Speaker 2: can't have a conversation.
Speaker 3: Like right yo.
Speaker 1: Then her dad with the most cartoony Italian voice ever.
Speaker 1: Some of the voices again, the woman who does the
Speaker 1: hair too, who just has the thick Russian accent out
Speaker 1: of nowhere. Yeah, some of the accents are pretty funny. Yes,
Speaker 1: he comes in with the please don't allow you.
Speaker 2: Know what did you say? He sees Mario.
Speaker 3: Kind of sounds a little like super Mario.
Speaker 1: But first of all, I'm pitching right now, and I'm
Speaker 1: taking credit for the pitch, and I'm sure it's one
Speaker 1: of the books, but I'm pitching the prequel where it's
Speaker 1: the mom's doing the Cheetah girls.
Speaker 3: Okay, so I'm.
Speaker 1: Pitching because it would take place in the eighties. It
Speaker 1: would be or the seventies of the eighties. It would
Speaker 1: be a period piece. Think about the cheetah, then the cheetah,
Speaker 1: then the music. Then that would be like eighty like
Speaker 1: seventies or eighties kind of power.
Speaker 3: Forget it.
Speaker 1: I'm pitching that right now, trademark. But you've got the
Speaker 1: people coming in, You've got the mom who's kind of
Speaker 1: wanting to stop her from doing. But then there's a
Speaker 1: line that he comes in with that I wrote down
Speaker 1: that is so great, where she says I don't want
Speaker 1: her making the same mistakes I did, and he says
Speaker 1: she's not gonna She's gonna make all new mistakes that
Speaker 1: are her own and that's gonna make her her And I.
Speaker 3: Was like, that's brilliant.
Speaker 2: The Disney magic right, the right. That's the moment where
Speaker 2: it's like it's true, like you can't protect your kids
Speaker 2: things that there's lessons they need to learn on their own,
Speaker 2: you know, and it's better for them to learn it
Speaker 2: on their own rather than you to tell them there's
Speaker 2: gonna happen, you know. And again it's like, can we,
Speaker 2: you know, Dorothea, can we just have a conversation, can
Speaker 2: we just we can't do it because it's terrible, we won't,
Speaker 2: but let's just have a conversation with this jackal guy.
Speaker 3: I love the moms. I love the relationships.
Speaker 1: I love the fact that Chucci's mom leaves her the
Speaker 1: best named credit card in the history of the world.
Speaker 1: She leaves her her gold platinum card. Yes, I love
Speaker 1: that it's the gold platinum card. They're either gold or platinum,
Speaker 1: not this one. It's the gold platinum card.
Speaker 2: I found that crazy. I when it was I was
Speaker 2: in high school. There was no chance that any of
Speaker 2: my friend's moms, we're going to give us a credit card. Oh,
Speaker 2: go get something for yourself. My mom did that once
Speaker 2: my freshman year. She gave me money when we were
Speaker 2: going back to school once and said, here's the money.
Speaker 2: Let my friend and I go to South Coast Plazas
Speaker 2: where all the great stores at.
Speaker 1: Was my wife's favorite mall in the world because she's
Speaker 1: from Warren County, YEP.
Speaker 2: And get my back to school clothes. Homie got one
Speaker 2: outfit with them. My mom. I was like, okay, that
Speaker 2: was a mistake, but one outfit. So the fact that
Speaker 2: she gave her a credit card like pretty much an
Speaker 2: endless amount of money.
Speaker 3: Gold platinum card, a.
Speaker 2: Gold and platinum card.
Speaker 3: Crazy.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to what do you think is
Speaker 1: the movie's best quote? There's three options here, and I'm
Speaker 1: not sure that it's on here, but we've got it.
Speaker 1: Was drama and Kaflama, which is pretty great. You better
Speaker 1: stash the sauce next time you see Jackal.
Speaker 3: Which is pretty great.
Speaker 1: And the Cheetah girls do not run with wolves or
Speaker 1: hang with hyenas, which is pretty great. But this movie,
Speaker 1: and I say this because my brother's and I speak
Speaker 1: in movie quotes, this.
Speaker 3: Movie is crazy quotable.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, so I still love I said
Speaker 1: it in my opening I still love how oh Man
Speaker 1: Bubbles goes to Doe and she hands her the outfits
Speaker 1: that she needs to go by and she says, I
Speaker 1: don't want you looking janky and Tora up oh so harsh.
Speaker 2: I do love these ones again, there's so many. My
Speaker 2: favorite if he doesn't love my art, he can't have
Speaker 2: my heart. I love that one because then she actually
Speaker 2: does go ooh lyric moment.
Speaker 3: I love that. I love it. I also loved you
Speaker 3: all saying he wants to be your boom.
Speaker 2: I know those two because we did them obviously, like
Speaker 2: back to back. Those two cafeteria scenes were so fun.
Speaker 2: They were so fun, like we had the blast doing those.
Speaker 1: Can we talk a little bit about the smartest dumb
Speaker 1: dog in the history of films? Because the dog can up,
Speaker 1: goes right to bed when asked, gets up and dances
Speaker 1: to all the music, but then jumps in a hole
Speaker 1: and then can't get out.
Speaker 3: I don't it threw me a little bit. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: be honest with you.
Speaker 1: The the and then for some reason I get why
Speaker 1: they're doing it, but the firefighter who's in the hole
Speaker 1: can't seem to reach the dog unless the dog dances.
Speaker 1: And yet in front of him has a giant bottle
Speaker 1: of baby oil.
Speaker 3: Did you notice this baby So he's obviously covering that.
Speaker 1: He can reach the dog to cover it with baby oil,
Speaker 1: but he can't get the dog until the dog dances
Speaker 1: to him.
Speaker 3: This is where the movie fell apart a little bit
Speaker 3: for me, a little bit.
Speaker 2: It's like, you get why it had to be set
Speaker 2: up that way, But it was really just, I mean,
Speaker 2: the urgency in the from the first time she tells
Speaker 2: the first cop. I was like, I don't think I've
Speaker 2: ever seen a cop move so so quickly, especially for
Speaker 2: a dog.
Speaker 3: I'm calling it back up. And then the nation was riveted.
Speaker 1: Everybody's watching as the new comes down, the school empties out.
Speaker 2: It was that was the most the scene in the
Speaker 2: part of the storyline.
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 2: That was just kind of like, what are you doing here?
Speaker 2: We are in a fairydale land.
Speaker 3: Yes, you'd have to be. You have to suspend a little.
Speaker 2: Bit, pulls you back to going we're watching a Disney
Speaker 2: g General movie. This is how we're gonna pull everyone
Speaker 2: out and get back together. I mean and all and
Speaker 2: all dressed the same.
Speaker 3: You're all dressed in your cheetahuse.
Speaker 2: I will say, that's probably the iconic costume of the
Speaker 2: show more than the Cinderella one.
Speaker 3: With the headband.
Speaker 2: With all of us wearing those just mass I mean
Speaker 2: they were massive that you know why we had to
Speaker 2: wear them. We were, you know, laying that we were
Speaker 2: in the fall, like the beginning of school right in
Speaker 2: Toronto in the like wintertime, like November. Like we were
Speaker 2: there filming that scene in November. It was freezing like
Speaker 2: when they did cut, like there were people on set
Speaker 2: that would just wrap us with jackets and they had
Speaker 2: hot pockets in the barget It was so cold and raining.
Speaker 1: I will say that, I uh, that scene took me
Speaker 1: out of it a little bit. It then, of course
Speaker 1: becomes an entire musical number with no actual microphones, but
Speaker 1: everyone can still hear what's going on. And I still
Speaker 1: do not understand why a dog falls in a hole
Speaker 1: and they scent an ambulance. Yes, yeah, who who's the
Speaker 1: ambulance for? I'm just curious, is it for the dog?
Speaker 1: Because no people were.
Speaker 2: Involved, firefighter that's in there. It doesn't seem that smarty either.
Speaker 3: You sent an ambulance?
Speaker 1: Oh my okay, so yeah, well we're I'd like to
Speaker 1: jump right ahead if we can. Yes, let's do our
Speaker 1: three and a half facts, because there are some great
Speaker 1: yes Cheetah Girl facts here.
Speaker 3: Why don't you tell us what that is? Yeah, yes,
Speaker 3: it's where.
Speaker 2: We find three facts and one we found on the
Speaker 2: internet that cannot be confirmed. Right, So these are good
Speaker 2: because they would be awesome if but we don't know
Speaker 2: if they're true.
Speaker 3: Or we don't know. We think they might be.
Speaker 2: Everyone talks about it like they are, but we're not
Speaker 2: quite sure.
Speaker 1: Right, we can't put our stamp on the fact that
Speaker 1: it's real. Right, give us the first one.
Speaker 2: The Cheetah Girls merchandise while touring was so popular that
Speaker 2: at the time they became or we became the highest
Speaker 2: selling act at their merchandise company, even beating the Rolling Stone.
Speaker 3: And that's not the fake fact, that's real.
Speaker 2: That's real.
Speaker 3: What's the next one?
Speaker 2: All right? So this half for that we got for you,
Speaker 2: the half fact, the half fact. The Cheetah Girls is
Speaker 2: Obama's daughter's favorite movie. It's a half fact. We'll say
Speaker 2: that they were at our concert really when we were
Speaker 2: on tour, and them like Faith Hill and Tim mcgross
Speaker 2: kids were there. But you know, to beat the rush
Speaker 2: home and all of that our meet and greets for
Speaker 2: the first and second tour were at the end of
Speaker 2: the show, and so they wouldn't stay all the way,
Speaker 2: so they'd leave, So we didn't get to do that.
Speaker 2: And we can actually ask my girl Keeley about that
Speaker 2: because she was so upset. It was. We were so stoked.
Speaker 2: I mean, think about it. You're on stage performing for
Speaker 2: the president.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's so was the President there or
Speaker 3: just the kids? The kid?
Speaker 2: No? So that that's the thing too, is it would
Speaker 2: be booked under the you know person that you would
Speaker 2: be recognized, but we didn't always mean that that person
Speaker 2: was there, of course, but there was a possibility, so
Speaker 2: we would be like lighting that stage up on fire
Speaker 2: just in the case the President was there watching.
Speaker 1: Other confirmed fans are the Kardashian kids who dressed in
Speaker 1: treated Girl sweatshirts as past Halloween, Quenta Bronson, who just
Speaker 1: sang a Cheatah Girl song on the Golden Glors Red Carpets,
Speaker 1: and Cartie b who professor Cheatah Love on IG Live.
Speaker 2: I mean this is huge, yes, yes, I mean it
Speaker 2: just like to know that those kinds of celebrities know
Speaker 2: the work that you've done. It's just is like wow.
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's so cool. I mean the Kardashian
Speaker 2: Halloween out that happened just this Halloween.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, so it's saying it's the twentieth anniversary.
Speaker 1: We should say that. So it's still not only alive
Speaker 1: in kicking, but hugely popular.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see and the new generation like
Speaker 2: it just keeps gaining the next generation of young cheetahs.
Speaker 2: It's awesome. It's awesome.
Speaker 3: The let's add Amori.
Speaker 1: Uh, we don't really even have to do that, because
Speaker 1: if I read something, that's very interesting. So in the
Speaker 1: original books, there were twins that were then cut from
Speaker 1: the books, and Tia and Tamara were actually considered to
Speaker 1: play those parts and were considered at the time I
Speaker 1: think too maybe too old or something. I can't remember
Speaker 1: what it was, but they were not able to do
Speaker 1: the project. But so we could have had a Mori
Speaker 1: in there from the original original books.
Speaker 3: So there you go. That's how you do it.
Speaker 2: Yes, I off another option because the brother is he's younger.
Speaker 2: It could have worked to make him like a little
Speaker 2: brother of one of the girls.
Speaker 3: That would have worked too, that's great. Or your foster brothers.
Speaker 2: Which the twin factor and it not be two girls,
Speaker 2: and it'd be like Aqua's twin.
Speaker 3: Great idea.
Speaker 2: There you go, you know what I mean, making it,
Speaker 2: make it a little bit different, bringing a little bit
Speaker 2: different vibe. I mean he could have been like our
Speaker 2: main producer. There could have been.
Speaker 3: Like like something like that is awesome.
Speaker 2: Yes, I think I really like him because that's the first.
Speaker 3: Person you always go to how to put Taj in
Speaker 3: the movie. You're a big TA.
Speaker 1: Fan, Sabrina sees what did I miss?
Speaker 2: Okay, so first of all, you took quite a bit.
Speaker 3: Oh so I saw quite a bit this week. Saw
Speaker 3: a lot.
Speaker 2: You saw a lot, which was awesome. The ones that
Speaker 2: I really loved was there's like I'm going to go
Speaker 2: through them really fast because they don't need a lot
Speaker 2: of explanation. The giant home phones that bubbles and chootch
Speaker 2: she had. I can't remember in the early two thousands
Speaker 2: did we have that big of phones.
Speaker 1: I think so phones went through a big phase, then
Speaker 1: they went through a really big phase.
Speaker 2: Okay, because her cell phone was also giant.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but she had that great flip phone, which I
Speaker 1: would still have right now if I could.
Speaker 2: Yes, doesn't close it. After the the conversation on the phone.
Speaker 3: She just puts it down. I know, yeah, she doesn't,
Speaker 3: she does. That's interesting. I noticed that as well.
Speaker 2: Any Fuddy. My next one is we talked about how
Speaker 2: all the music, all the music that we did was
Speaker 2: like a music video style. I found that jarring. I
Speaker 2: didn't really love that part. You loved it because I.
Speaker 3: Got how you want to watch it. I got it,
Speaker 3: I got how they did it. I didn't love it,
Speaker 3: but I got Okay.
Speaker 2: So Kyle Schmid's chacter Derek, Yeah, gallerya's love interest. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: when he comes out with this, you know he's going
Speaker 2: to do something. When he comes out with his performance,
Speaker 2: did you expect a hit wrap routine.
Speaker 1: No, he's carrying a guitar half the movie. It's like
Speaker 1: what and then he plays at the end. But it's
Speaker 1: like I wasn't expressed.
Speaker 2: That felt like so what why why is he? What
Speaker 2: is that song? He doesn't look at at all like
Speaker 2: that would be his interest. So there's that.
Speaker 3: I thought he'd go out to Kyle though, I do.
Speaker 2: Love him so much. He's such a sweetheart. Derek was
Speaker 2: dreamy though, Yes, and he's gone on to do a
Speaker 2: lot of work, a.
Speaker 3: Ton of stuff. Yeah, and he's married to Katie Katie Loakes.
Speaker 1: Yes, but the slammed, like the tray goes all over him,
Speaker 1: and even the girls are like even the embarrassing stuff
Speaker 1: is cute.
Speaker 2: He has this like kind of like accent a little
Speaker 2: bit as he was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't know what exactly where he's from. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's it's very.
Speaker 2: Easy, but he was. He was awesome. I loved his
Speaker 2: moments too, with him pulling the friendship back together. He
Speaker 2: was really the one that pulled back together.
Speaker 1: And there was especially the piano scene, which I shout
Speaker 1: out to Raven, but not not great fake piano playing
Speaker 1: at all.
Speaker 2: Okay, I did want to put that in my Serena
Speaker 2: season because I'll say it. I mean, but when she
Speaker 2: was singing, I focused on her face because she.
Speaker 3: Wasn't any great. But they had nice chemistry.
Speaker 2: They did.
Speaker 3: They had very nice chemistry the two of them.
Speaker 2: Great chemistry worked.
Speaker 3: And now we come to the biggest thing.
Speaker 1: We've got to rate the movie, and I think today's
Speaker 1: one out of ten trapped p seanfre says, which as
Speaker 1: as Raven says, that is not zal dressing.
Speaker 3: That gets confused. That's Madonna.
Speaker 2: That's such a funny line.
Speaker 1: So that's a great line. So one out of ten.
Speaker 1: Do you want me to start? Do you want to start?
Speaker 2: You start, you start.
Speaker 1: I'll start, Okay. I really liked this movie. I thought
Speaker 1: it is a great Disney Channel movie. You've got the music,
Speaker 1: You've got its own little language, it's its own encapsulated world.
Speaker 3: It is a really good movie. You lost me with
Speaker 3: the dog at the end.
Speaker 1: It's a weird kind of way to get the band
Speaker 1: back together. And then a couple things here and there.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna give this a solid eight. Trapped Pean
Speaker 1: for says, and I could go, I could go eight
Speaker 1: point five and not look back. It would have been
Speaker 1: a full on nine if the dog didn't get trapped
Speaker 1: in a hole at the end. It really, you know,
Speaker 1: which is for me, pretty close to perfection, because I
Speaker 1: don't know I'll ever give a ten. But I was entertained.
Speaker 1: You were all phenomenal. The music was catchy. Even the
Speaker 1: cheesy parts are Disney cheesy, so they're the way they're
Speaker 1: supposed to be. Yes, the acting's great, the singing's great.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm gonna say I mean, I'm gonna up it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say eight and a half and be happy
Speaker 1: with eight and a half oiled up trapped peanfre says,
Speaker 1: which which again will be put into an ambulance for
Speaker 1: some reason after they are taken out of the ground.
Speaker 3: How about you.
Speaker 2: So I was nervous to go watch this again. Nervous.
Speaker 2: I mean you're talking, I'm eighteen, you know. I was
Speaker 2: so worried about what it was gonna look and feel like.
Speaker 2: And you know, and I actually it just brought me
Speaker 2: back to how much fun we had out on that
Speaker 2: out in Toronto. The experience was just incredible the movie.
Speaker 2: I also was worried about that cheese factor being way
Speaker 2: more than what it was. And you know, again, watching
Speaker 2: Raven and Adrian and Kihley, you know, with their dancing
Speaker 2: and performance, I really loved it more than I thought
Speaker 2: I was good. I was ready to give this like
Speaker 2: a four and a half.
Speaker 4: Really knowing, well, you know, it's hard to watch yourself
Speaker 4: any This is the kind of acting that you do
Speaker 4: that is over the top.
Speaker 2: You know, there's times where I'm like, oh gosh, top down,
Speaker 2: shrimpy and white like Norilla acts. But you know, again,
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna give it a seven, a seven Okay,
Speaker 2: knowing where it's gonna go to.
Speaker 3: See, that's the thing that's hard.
Speaker 2: Part. You don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know yet. I don't I haven't seen Empire
Speaker 1: Strikes Back yet. I haven't seen the second part. I
Speaker 1: don't know where we're going, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I also you just mentioned something that I think I'd
Speaker 1: like to add a new category to to and I'd
Speaker 1: like to get a sponsor for it. Okay, whether it's
Speaker 1: Sargento or it's Velveta. But we're gonna need a cheese factor.
Speaker 1: You just said to cheese. We're gonna need a cheese
Speaker 1: factor category. Okay, especially for Disney Channel because I thought
Speaker 1: this was again I thought it was cheesy in all
Speaker 1: the right places, which is it's they're Disney Channel movies.
Speaker 1: They're all gonna be cheesy somewhere somehow, right.
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean that's what brings the demo back to
Speaker 2: what we're where it's supposed to be, right, impactly, Adults,
Speaker 2: it can't be too serious. There's some good serious moments
Speaker 2: in there, like Chanelle and her Mom's dynamic.
Speaker 3: You and the Master Kid and all that kid.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's that, but not too you know, there was
Speaker 2: a lot more crying. I did not realize you did.
Speaker 2: You kind of always just thought it was I guess
Speaker 2: because I was on set for Chanelle's or for Adrian's
Speaker 2: crime moment at that at the end of the movie.
Speaker 2: But I forgot that Raven had a good one too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Whitfield, so that we're also gonna have to add
Speaker 1: than the Johnson and Johnson no more tears category. Okay,
Speaker 1: I get that there was there was some crying, but again,
Speaker 1: all earned. I thought it was all all your acting
Speaker 1: was great. I wow, thoroughly enjoyed this. I can't wait
Speaker 1: to see the second one. Thank you for sharing your
Speaker 1: film with me, because it was really good. I watched
Speaker 1: it the first time with my wife. We both liked it.
