Speaker 1: Well, I don't know where this is going to fall
Speaker 1: in the actual order of what they're going to throw
Speaker 1: up on our feed, because I never know once we
Speaker 1: record it when it actually airs. But Happy New Year,
Speaker 1: maybe issually possibly, I don't know what's aired already.
Speaker 2: So happy New Year, Sabri.
Speaker 3: Said, New Year for us? Will I love it? Another
Speaker 3: year of magic?
Speaker 1: It is? Remember when the year You might not because
Speaker 1: you were a child at the time, but I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, remember when the.
Speaker 4: Year two thousand was like the craziest thing.
Speaker 5: In the world.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 3: I was in high school at that time, so yes,
Speaker 3: I do remember. I remember thinking the world was possibly
Speaker 3: going to end.
Speaker 1: Why I didn't remember why?
Speaker 3: Two can literally nothing happened.
Speaker 1: No, nothing, nothing at all happened. It was like three
Speaker 1: two one. And now it's the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so oh okay, we're good.
Speaker 1: Now it's twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: I know I can't even crazy crazy.
Speaker 4: How do you like to ring in the new year?
Speaker 1: And if your answer is not by watching a d com,
Speaker 1: then we probably don't have much more to talk about.
Speaker 3: It depends for twenty twenty four. I fell asleep by
Speaker 3: nine o'clock. I did not watch the ball drop we
Speaker 3: were up in Big Bear just having a really nice
Speaker 3: relaxing weekend, the four of us, my littles and my
Speaker 3: husband and I and that was it. This year, we
Speaker 3: actually had a very fun New Year's. Our friend it's
Speaker 3: her birthday. Her birthday's on the first, okay, so her
Speaker 3: boyfriend through a big party for her, so it was
Speaker 3: a birthday. We did New Year's countdown, then we sang
Speaker 3: Happy Birthday, and then he dropped to one D the
Speaker 3: end proposed to her. So it was a magical New
Speaker 3: Year's for me.
Speaker 1: In the night when she said no, I did a little.
Speaker 3: Bit, but we kept just you know, we just took
Speaker 3: a drink. It just went oh man, it was such
Speaker 3: a huge night. It was really fun. So I like
Speaker 3: doing both. Honestly, it's really fun. You know, the kids
Speaker 3: go to bed so early, so it's not like they're
Speaker 3: too young to like have them stay up till down,
Speaker 3: So we're not doing that yet. Eventually we'll get there,
Speaker 3: and I look forward to that. So it's either just
Speaker 3: like a nice evening with the two of us, or
Speaker 3: it's a banger and we're champagne and and and dancing,
Speaker 3: you know whatever. We're you know, we're even bou what
Speaker 3: about you? What do you guys do?
Speaker 1: We stayed up till I'm always up till midnight, so
Speaker 1: what my wife stayed up till midnight and we we Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, I stay up till midnight most nights. I'm alive.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I would stay up till three o'clock in
Speaker 1: the morning if I could. I'm very much a night owl.
Speaker 1: Oh but that my wife doesn't like that.
Speaker 4: So uh but no, stayed out. She was dozing by
Speaker 4: about eleven thirty.
Speaker 1: But we did our kiss and and wished each other
Speaker 1: a happy New Year, and that was it.
Speaker 3: So yeah, pretty nice. Dad and mom do black eyed peas,
Speaker 3: greens and corn bread. That's supposed to be a.
Speaker 1: Real it's a tough band of book on New Year's Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, they make that and it's a it's a tradition
Speaker 3: that brings like love, wealth, happiness. There's cool, a whole
Speaker 3: like good aura that comes when you have that dinner
Speaker 3: for New Year's Eve's.
Speaker 1: Well, hopefully you saved me Tomali's from from New Year
Speaker 1: from from you said.
Speaker 3: You said I got it one, I got it, I
Speaker 3: got you get to pick beef for chicken, So which whatever.
Speaker 1: Figured it out? Speaking of that, Congratulations to your friends
Speaker 1: and at their wedding, please tell them I will have
Speaker 1: the beef and my wife will have the chicken. Thank
Speaker 1: you very much, and welcome back to Magical Rewind, the
Speaker 1: show that makes you want to grab your friends, your PJS,
Speaker 1: and your popcorn and go back to a time and
Speaker 1: all the houses are smart, the waves, tsunamis, and the
Speaker 1: high School's musical. I'm Wilfred Ell.
Speaker 3: And I'm Sabrina Bryan.
Speaker 1: Oh, here we go, Here we go yet again, twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five, often running because on Magical Rewind, we've already
Speaker 1: dealt with competitive dance, and we've already dealt with hockey.
Speaker 1: But have we dealt with swapping competitive dance and hockey
Speaker 1: because of a magical text message, No we haven't. Well
Speaker 1: we're gonna now because it's twenty sixteen's coming of age
Speaker 1: dcom dramedy, The Swap, and I'll be honest, this was
Speaker 1: not what I thought this movie was gonna be about.
Speaker 1: I was pleasantly surprised that this was not about a
Speaker 1: bunch of swingers. The Swap originally aired on October seventh,
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, and was based on a novel of the
Speaker 1: same name from author Megan schul released right when the
Speaker 1: dcom already started production, so of course they must have
Speaker 1: bought the book right before it was even officially released,
Speaker 1: which is rare but not unheard of. Schuhl is an
Speaker 1: accomplished writer in the young adult genre and has released
Speaker 1: a few books, even optioned another one in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: for Start Jojo Siwa, but that one got stuck in
Speaker 1: development hell or possibly was affected by the slap heard
Speaker 1: cross the World old since it was produced by Will Smith,
Speaker 1: or was supposed to be anyway, the swap marked the
Speaker 1: one hundred and first decom ever made right off the
Speaker 1: coattails of the hundredth, which was Adventures in Babysitting starring
Speaker 1: a young Sabrina Carpenter, which I'm sure we will get into.
Speaker 4: I have not seen it, but the original Adventures of.
Speaker 1: Babysitting with Elizabeth Shoe one of the best movies ever
Speaker 1: Still in Love with Her. The swap benefited from getting
Speaker 1: a teaser promo aired during the debut broadcast of Adventures
Speaker 1: of Babysitting, So that's some impressive Disney synergy or disneer
Speaker 1: g if you will and if you won't completely understand
Speaker 1: I barely did myself. The movie filmed in good old Canada,
Speaker 1: split in time between Toronto and Ontario, and had quite
Speaker 1: the quick turnaround. The decom aired on the Disney Channel
Speaker 1: just six months after it wrapped filming very quick. It's
Speaker 1: like you and if anybody who knows anything about the
Speaker 1: entertainment industry, usually the film isn't even edited in six months.
Speaker 1: I mean, you're going back and forth. And that's a
Speaker 1: very quick turnaround.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: As I said, this aired on October seventh, and because
Speaker 1: that is the spookiest month of the year, it was
Speaker 1: part of the network's Monstober event, which included New Descendants,
Speaker 1: animated shorts, reruns of Twitches, My Babysitters, A Vampire.
Speaker 2: And Halloween Town Too, and.
Speaker 1: The premiere of ra al Stein's Monsterville Cabinet of Souls.
Speaker 1: Now I get all those I get all those airrings,
Speaker 1: But how is the swap a Halloween movie? Did this?
Speaker 2: Was this Halloween need to you at all?
Speaker 3: Not at all?
Speaker 2: Not all?
Speaker 3: In any way this finding this information out, couldn't put
Speaker 3: the pieces together, didn't make sense. But it seemed like
Speaker 3: they were excited about this movie. Maybe that's what it was.
Speaker 3: There there must have been a reason of, like, you know,
Speaker 3: just wanting to get either these new stars out. It'd
Speaker 3: be interesting to know how, you know, where they were
Speaker 3: involved in the Disney Channel and maybe how that made sense.
Speaker 3: But it's there's nothing about this movie that I mean,
Speaker 3: the swap happens as like mystical that kind off and
Speaker 3: we'll get into that ends, right, yeah, where it starts
Speaker 3: and ends.
Speaker 1: Maybe they were trying to come off of the success
Speaker 1: of some of the other d coms that they had
Speaker 1: based on other young novels like your Friend who wrote
Speaker 1: the one My My Diary became a Yeah, which was
Speaker 1: became readed in Weep. So those were successful, so maybe
Speaker 1: that helped. But man, that was quick. But I don't
Speaker 1: see anything halloweeny about it. But anyway, even without the
Speaker 1: clear scary tie in, it debuted in October to two
Speaker 1: point six four million viewers. I know, that's seems like
Speaker 1: a small number compared to some of the numbers we've
Speaker 1: been throwing out with High School Musical and stuff. You
Speaker 1: have to keep in mind this is now twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: so that's actually a nice number for the era, and
Speaker 1: it had a great reception on the watch Disney app,
Speaker 1: the streaming service's name at the time. Now, speaking of that,
Speaker 1: you can watch the swap on Disney Plus, which is
Speaker 1: the name of their streaming service now in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: So take the time to watch it before we get
Speaker 1: into it, or just flip those instructions and live on
Speaker 1: the wild side. No one is going to know unless
Speaker 1: you tell them, And if you do, how about a
Speaker 1: little secrecy amongst friends you blabber Serena.
Speaker 4: Are you a fan of body swap movies?
Speaker 1: In general? It's a very well represented genre, especially in
Speaker 1: movies for kids and young adults. You know, You've got
Speaker 1: thirteen going on thirty, Like Father, Like Son, seventeen again,
Speaker 1: Freaky Friday, Face Off, Big, I mean, there's one after
Speaker 1: another where these kind of your jam at all growing up.
Speaker 3: Yes, I think Big is one of the best movies
Speaker 3: of all times.
Speaker 1: I ever.
Speaker 3: Literally love that movie. Could watch it any day. Yeah,
Speaker 3: Freaky Friday was amazing. Face Off is obviously a very
Speaker 3: different kind of one different, but it is such a
Speaker 3: good movie. I love it all of those kinds of movies.
Speaker 3: I think it's a really fun idea to be in
Speaker 3: a body that doesn't feel like yours and experience life
Speaker 3: through a whole new set of eyes and shoes, and yeah,
Speaker 3: you know this one was. I mean, I can't imagine
Speaker 3: the idea of being in a guy's body myself, Like,
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, you know, I just watched the movie
Speaker 3: Jumanji where one of the characters is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh you watched the second Jumanji.
Speaker 4: Oh no, the first one or the.
Speaker 3: Second one, the second one with one of the characters
Speaker 3: is Jack Black, And she's like, she kept going, this
Speaker 3: thing is awesome.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I've got to handle How am I
Speaker 1: not instagramming this?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like a whole thing where you just like
Speaker 3: that idea is such a fun idea of bad and
Speaker 3: good that comes your way of seeing stuff like that.
Speaker 3: So I am a full fan of this.
Speaker 1: I am too. I could not agree with you more
Speaker 1: and again, I would love to see Face Off recut
Speaker 1: as a d com to see like, you know, when
Speaker 1: Tom when he woke up in the mall and then
Speaker 1: they took their fate. Oh, that would be just the
Speaker 1: funniest thing ever. Oh man, did you know had you
Speaker 1: heard of this movie before we hit the.
Speaker 3: I will say the title instantly made me think because
Speaker 3: Jordan asked me, what movie are you watching for this
Speaker 3: next episode? And I said the Swap and he goes, oh,
Speaker 3: I don't think i've seen that one. I go, I
Speaker 3: haven't either, but I'm assuming it's like parent trap type situation.
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, that's what I would think too, And
Speaker 3: it wasn't necessarily parent trap, but it was kind of similar.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it was interesting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the title makes for the movie for sure, not
Speaker 3: one of those you know, random titles that don't make
Speaker 3: any sense.
Speaker 1: We always go to thirteenth year where we're just of course,
Speaker 1: that means that's when you turn into a merman, like wait,
Speaker 1: what anyway? Of course again twenty twenty five starting not
Speaker 1: with a bang. So let's see. Did I know anything
Speaker 1: about this.
Speaker 2: Movie before we went in?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I did. I knew everything about this film. No, I
Speaker 1: had never heard of this movie. I never heard of
Speaker 1: any of these movies except for a few select ones. Anyway,
Speaker 1: before you text us your wish, let's make it happen.
Speaker 1: But first the synopsis. Ellie, a rhythmic gymnast, and Jack,
Speaker 1: a tough guy hockey player, accidentally switch bodies after a
Speaker 1: texting mishap as they navigate each other's lives, they learn
Speaker 1: valuable lessons about empathy, teamwork, and their true selves. A
Speaker 1: texting mishap, so we'll get into that. It might just
Speaker 1: be the most unbelievable plot mechanism we have seen yet.
Speaker 4: Did you buy the premise of that at all? No,
Speaker 4: not really.
Speaker 3: I you know, I think it's a way And we
Speaker 3: usually love Disney being ahead of the jam, like as
Speaker 3: far as what that new like tech or device would be.
Speaker 3: So if they had some really cool new phones at
Speaker 3: the time or whatever, like, it just kind of was
Speaker 3: like something And at first I was already going, why
Speaker 3: the blurbs of the day right? And I know where
Speaker 3: this synopsis? That was like why are they doing that?
Speaker 3: And then it's like, I guess that's the only way
Speaker 3: when I look back how they brought in the.
Speaker 1: Two They got the texting, which again I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1: I mean, texting and social media now have become such
Speaker 1: the norm that they have to be when you're writing
Speaker 1: a film. Texting is a big thing. So how do
Speaker 1: you show texting? You can either show an insert of
Speaker 1: the phone or you show the bubbles. I get that,
Speaker 1: but then it's like your Disney channel come up with
Speaker 1: a better.
Speaker 3: For I know now we've got them on this, Like Disney,
Speaker 3: tell me what's actually gonna happen in twenty thirty twenty
Speaker 3: thirty five, Like we now know that you did Smart House,
Speaker 3: so you know everything clearly. Why is it just a
Speaker 3: text mess?
Speaker 2: I also just mean.
Speaker 1: I also just mean magic wise, like Wizards of Waverley,
Speaker 1: place it a little bit.
Speaker 4: If you want to make it a totem, make it
Speaker 4: a totem.
Speaker 1: But is the phone inhabited by the spirit of a
Speaker 1: blah blah blah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like go a little deeper.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did one line, well, if you hold your
Speaker 1: object too long that oh my god.
Speaker 4: Yeah, anyway, so let's just get it early.
Speaker 1: Thoughts.
Speaker 2: Did you like the movie?
Speaker 3: I did? I did, I I was in it. I
Speaker 3: like I got there emotionally. I don't know if it's
Speaker 3: because I just missed you guys so much. Well you're
Speaker 3: on medical rework, but I was like, ugh, I love
Speaker 3: my job. This is such a cute movie. I haven't
Speaker 3: seen it before. These kids are adorable. I think they're great.
Speaker 3: I literally loved it. It took me a teeny bit
Speaker 3: longer than what it usually does to get into it,
Speaker 3: but once I was.
Speaker 1: In You're in hook.
Speaker 3: Lions Tinker interesting. Okay, Okay, you not so much, I'm
Speaker 3: assuming by the look on your face.
Speaker 1: Actually I really liked it, Oh good I did. It's
Speaker 1: not the best movie we've ever seen. It had some
Speaker 1: serious plot holes. I thought the cast was great. We'll
Speaker 1: get into We'll get into the cast. The acting was
Speaker 1: really good, and Disney did what Disney does sometimes We're
Speaker 1: out of nowhere again. I want a smack whoever came
Speaker 1: up with the magical system, just because I'm a nerd.
Speaker 1: But the emotional stuff of the movie I thought was
Speaker 1: done very very well. Yes, they had me in with
Speaker 1: the emotional stuff, the loss of the parent. Well, we'll
Speaker 1: get into all of that.
Speaker 3: So anyway, so much goodness in this movie. I can't
Speaker 3: really talk about all of it because there is just
Speaker 3: so so many small details that really shone like they
Speaker 3: are really shined throughout so much of this movie. And
Speaker 3: I loved it.
Speaker 1: Do not disagree. So The Swap was directed by Jay
Speaker 1: I think it's Caris. I hope I'm saying that right
Speaker 1: as Carris, a director who cut his teeth comedically for
Speaker 1: dozens of stand up specials from Bill Burr to Bob Saget.
Speaker 1: He also directed sketch programs and MTV Award shows and
Speaker 1: has since become a premier name in TV directing for
Speaker 1: titles like Superstore, Workaholics, Parks and rec So Help Me,
Speaker 1: Todd and The Beloved Abbot Elementary. The movie stars Peyton
Speaker 1: Liszt as Ellie O'Brien. Peyton began her career at just
Speaker 1: three years old, featured in the background of Spider Man two.
Speaker 1: This time it's personal. That's of course what we call
Speaker 1: every single one. That's just regular Spider Man two, and
Speaker 1: would go on to star as Emma Ross on Jesse
Speaker 1: and then spin off the roll for Bunked, two shows
Speaker 1: that had her spending ten years of her life on
Speaker 1: the channel. And you know her now as the badass
Speaker 1: Tory Nichols on the breakout Netflix hit Cobra Kai.
Speaker 4: I assume, because.
Speaker 1: This is a little later, you didn't do any Disney
Speaker 1: stuff with her, did you.
Speaker 3: I did not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I figured because you guys are in different different
Speaker 1: Disney generations, as you and I were in different Disney
Speaker 1: general I know. Unfortunately, on the other side, we've got
Speaker 1: Jacob Bertrand as Jack Malloy.
Speaker 4: Jacob is another TV that starting his career at.
Speaker 1: Just seven years old with appearances on House, Parenthood and
Speaker 1: The Cape, but he is best known as both the
Speaker 1: voice of Gil on Bubble Guppies and as Kirby Buckets
Speaker 1: on the show Kirby Buckets. Also, as unbelievable as it seems,
Speaker 1: Jacob would go on to star as Eli Hawk Moskowitz
Speaker 1: on the Netflix hit show Cobra Kai, again creating a
Speaker 1: bit of a swapp reunion, even if it wasn't a
Speaker 1: purpose at all. But at the same time, I just
Speaker 1: wanted to see them break into karate fighting with everybody,
Speaker 1: but unfortunately I didn't. That's the only thing could have
Speaker 1: made this movie better is tons of karate fighting. The
Speaker 1: movie is also filled with a lot of established Canadian actors,
Speaker 1: but let's also talk about a few zombies who found
Speaker 1: themselves on the set. First up, James Godfrey is Hockey
Speaker 1: Bully Porter and we know James as Bonzo, the grunting
Speaker 1: jock monster in the Zombies franchise. He basically plays the
Speaker 1: same character in this movie, with a little bit more
Speaker 1: dialogue and stuff to do. But he's really funny and
Speaker 1: he's not alone. We've got Naomi Ooh. I said this
Speaker 1: last time, everybody out there, as we did Zombies. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna try to say it again because I always get
Speaker 1: it wrong. I think it's sneakest as Coach Carroll. She
Speaker 1: was known as Principal Lee in the Zombies franchise, and
Speaker 1: it's a nice little origin story for these two actors
Speaker 1: on the channel. They were both great, very funny, the
Speaker 1: entire like laugh out loud funny for a lot of it.
Speaker 1: The movie is, oh first drum roll of twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: please ninety one minutes long, folks, one minute away from
Speaker 1: the target, which, honestly, we could have easily been cut
Speaker 1: a minute out. Maybe just take one hockey shot away
Speaker 1: or something could have made it happen if they wanted.
Speaker 4: But a minute over.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be honest, We're not gonna complain about that.
Speaker 1: It was kind of right on the money, but not quite.
Speaker 3: Right in the money.
Speaker 1: It was written by the original books author who we
Speaker 1: talked about, alongside two screenwriters.
Speaker 4: Charlie Shahanion and Sherry Simpson.
Speaker 1: I hope I am saying that right, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say that for a lot of news again. I was
Speaker 1: born Wilfredell. Nobody knows that I'm freedo to everybody else.
Speaker 1: We all know why we're here, people for twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: So let's get to the swap. We open with Me Too,
Speaker 1: by pop star Meghan Trainer, a modern move by Disney,
Speaker 1: including a mainstream artist on the soundtrack. It's an opening
Speaker 1: credits montage, and we see the rhythmic dance team girls
Speaker 1: with hula hoops and batons, intermixed with well some hardcore
Speaker 1: hockey footage.
Speaker 4: We get some very.
Speaker 1: Limber girls and some successful shots on goal, focusing mostly
Speaker 1: on our main characters, high school sophomores Ellie O'Brien and
Speaker 1: Jack molloy exhibiting their respective sports skills. Now you know
Speaker 1: where I'm going with this, Sabrina, because we always talk
Speaker 1: about this. You are our dance and cheerleading expert. How
Speaker 1: do we rate the realism and everything happening with whatever
Speaker 1: the hell these young women are doing in the opening montage?
Speaker 3: So rhythmic gymnastics. This is a totally different genre that
Speaker 3: what I've I'm really attuned to in the sense of
Speaker 3: knowing their technical skills. I do love it during the Olympics,
Speaker 3: I do love watching it anytime it is on, but
Speaker 3: I don't know it as well. So the main thing
Speaker 3: is they need to be very limber, and from the
Speaker 3: shots that you saw, that is exactly what you got
Speaker 3: as a viewer, as you saw girls with extreme flexibility,
Speaker 3: and I think they shot a lot of the stuff
Speaker 3: really well. If they did use doubles, I couldn't see him,
Speaker 3: So I felt like if that was if there were
Speaker 3: doubles thrown in there, I couldn't see him. Otherwise, they
Speaker 3: somehow cast girls. The girls that were in the background
Speaker 3: and filled out the team definitely were actual rhythmic dancers.
Speaker 3: But even the girls that had main main parts looked
Speaker 3: very very good to me, So I thought it was great.
Speaker 1: And again, I know the rhythmic gymnastic community or the
Speaker 1: rhythms as I like to call them, are probably going
Speaker 1: to come after me for this, but it seems like
Speaker 1: it's a combination of circus performer and gymnasts.
Speaker 3: It's yes, it is. It's it's gymnastics for sure. And
Speaker 3: then yes, the the extreme level of extensions that they
Speaker 3: can do and the way their body is like it's
Speaker 3: like contortionists is where you're thinking like circus sol type stuff.
Speaker 3: So it definitely is a nice blend of it. I
Speaker 3: think when you're talking to a rhythmic gymnast, though, the
Speaker 3: finesse that they have versus just like the tricks of
Speaker 3: showing how much they can bend is different. And that's
Speaker 3: what I will say is the only time I could tell,
Speaker 3: okay that she obviously isn't an actual rhythmic gymnast is
Speaker 3: by their feet, like their feet are crazy pointed over extended.
Speaker 3: So that's the only thing that I would say, like
Speaker 3: stood out with the actual actors is you could tell
Speaker 3: just by their point tote like their toe point. Their
Speaker 3: point their toe point is ridiculous. So okay, yeah, you're right, though,
Speaker 3: it is a nice mix between mean what you see
Speaker 3: in a circus delight act and gymnastics.
Speaker 1: I love how you you so casually said when you're
Speaker 1: talking to a rhythmic gymnast, as if that's ever going
Speaker 1: to happen in my life. But I appreciate you you're
Speaker 1: saying that you never know.
Speaker 2: I could also learn tomorrow. I don't know that either.
Speaker 3: Any slender woman that you come across in.
Speaker 1: Your life just say excuse me, or your rhythmic.
Speaker 3: Be a rhythmic gymnast.
Speaker 4: Okay, well that's gonna be my new life.
Speaker 3: I think they have tattoos across their forehead that make
Speaker 3: you know that you never know. Uh.
Speaker 1: The montage then ends and it is Thursday at the
Speaker 1: Covey High School Sportsplex. The hockey team is practicing, and
Speaker 1: Jack Bloy is trying his hardest to make varsity to
Speaker 1: join his two rambunctious brothers and his dad, who is
Speaker 1: the hard nosed coach who also looks exactly like Jason Sudeikis.
Speaker 1: But that doesn't matter. Jack's dad breaks it to him
Speaker 1: he still has some serious work to do if he
Speaker 1: thinks he's making the roster, but his twin brothers encourage him.
Speaker 1: They think he's been doing great, and they know all
Speaker 1: about his quote unquote list of goals, which includes making far.
Speaker 1: But he'll need to keep his eyes on quirky, tough
Speaker 1: kid Porter, another student at the tryouts who's been trying
Speaker 1: to move up from junior varsity for years and will
Speaker 1: do anything to get there. We are now on the
Speaker 1: other side of campus. Ellie notices her bestie Sassy, is
Speaker 1: buddy buddy with new girl Aspen, and oh man, if
Speaker 1: you don't think Sassy and Aspen are great names, just
Speaker 1: wait for it.
Speaker 4: Who is from Buffalo, New York.
Speaker 1: But hey, it's still New York, she says, And they
Speaker 1: apparently went to Fashionista camp together. Please tell me what
Speaker 1: Fashionista Gland camp is and how the hell do I
Speaker 1: sign up? Because I wanted to just see what that
Speaker 1: world is like.
Speaker 3: No, I ge this was like, where are we going
Speaker 3: with this? Why is this so over the top right now?
Speaker 3: It's too many weird names happening in the beginning, like
Speaker 3: you're throwing me off. I'm trying to like understand what's happening.
Speaker 3: It's a lot of information that's getting thrown so I'm
Speaker 3: assuming it all means something huge, and it ends up
Speaker 3: really not meaning anything except for they just they could
Speaker 3: have just they went to Gymnast camp.
Speaker 1: Anything, it's anything else. I'm sorry, are you really saying
Speaker 1: that Sassy and Aspen at Fashionisa Glam Camp is too
Speaker 1: many weird words together, Sabrina.
Speaker 3: Like what, yes, please stop? I already got theirs.
Speaker 1: I know you're supposed to do, so it's working. But
Speaker 1: we also meet the dance team coach Carol, who is
Speaker 1: making some changes. She puts new pals Aspen and Sasse,
Speaker 1: which is how I'm gonna say it from now on
Speaker 1: Aspin and Sasse together, which of course infuriates Ellie. Her
Speaker 1: and Sasse have been practice partners since kindergarten, but the
Speaker 1: coach stands by our decision. They're just a better physical match.
Speaker 1: And coach Carol confirms some true rumors, also known as truemers.
Speaker 1: I love when they do that because I do this
Speaker 1: stuff all the time or all the team. No, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I didn't even know where to go that true.
Speaker 1: Of course, of course, the school is making budget cuts
Speaker 1: and is eliminating a sports team. They're deciding between the
Speaker 1: badminton team and the dance squad, so if they don't
Speaker 1: win big on Sunday, they will demote them to a
Speaker 1: club like they play chess, or they're the stem club
Speaker 1: or there. I couldn't even say this out loud.
Speaker 4: Thespians, yuck.
Speaker 1: Were you in any clubs in high school? No, because
Speaker 1: you danced and head friends.
Speaker 3: Because I was on a team.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, nice.
Speaker 1: I was in the outdoors club and that was just
Speaker 1: an excuse to climb mountains and smoke pot with my friends.
Speaker 2: Okay, but it was a club.
Speaker 3: It was official club, believe it or not. With your school.
Speaker 2: God, we were able.
Speaker 3: To get through by you with so much our school.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: But Carol thinks the squad is going to be fine.
Speaker 1: Ellie is just the old powerhouse and Aspen is the
Speaker 1: new powerhouse, so how can they lose?
Speaker 4: The pressure is on, by the way.
Speaker 1: Uh, They've established Ellie as the leader of the team
Speaker 1: and she's been the like she says, the old workhorse
Speaker 1: the entire time. We don't know anything of Aspen, but
Speaker 1: apparently she's the new workhorse and nobody how does the
Speaker 1: coach know that? Anyway? I'm not gonna overthink it, not
Speaker 1: gonna overthink it.
Speaker 4: We are back the rink.
Speaker 1: Jack is trying his hardest, but while trying to follow
Speaker 1: his dad's never ending commands, he is leveled by Porter,
Speaker 1: but instead of staying down, he gets up like you're
Speaker 1: supposed to and ends up scoring. Jack wants that final
Speaker 1: varsity spot. Coach Dad explains to make the team, you
Speaker 1: must be a plus on and off the eyes, no
Speaker 1: horse playing, and no unsportsman like Shenanigan in in in,
Speaker 1: which is literally how he says it. The hockey team
Speaker 1: and dan squad just have one thing to do now,
Speaker 1: not blow it, and they all say it in you know,
Speaker 1: they say it together whatever, unison, that's the word I
Speaker 1: was looking for, Thank you very much. It is now
Speaker 1: the next day, Friday, and the Maloys are practicing street
Speaker 1: hockey outside their house. The twins, who are obviously fraternal
Speaker 1: twins because they look nothing alike at all, are telling
Speaker 1: Jack to cut his hockey mullet, which is maybe arguably
Speaker 1: the worst wig in the history of d COM's.
Speaker 4: And that's saying a lot after we saw Descendants.
Speaker 1: When I notice how bad it is, Sabrina.
Speaker 3: It is my third Sabrina sees and here is my line.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Oh my god, his wig? How why
Speaker 3: it's awful?
Speaker 2: And of course it was.
Speaker 1: It was integral to the story. I get why they
Speaker 1: did it. It was, it was clever. But damn, that
Speaker 1: was we have seen.
Speaker 3: So okay, this is not that long ago. No, it's
Speaker 3: not that long ago. We just covered Duck in the suburbs.
Speaker 3: And no, they had individual extensions on him to have
Speaker 3: his hair long, which looked much better. Oh yeah, this
Speaker 3: was I mean, I thought this was so bad. I
Speaker 3: thought we were going to discover in his storyline that
Speaker 3: he was wearing a wig that was.
Speaker 1: Part of it, like his brothers made him wear a
Speaker 1: wig for some reason or.
Speaker 3: Something, or like he there was a situation down under
Speaker 3: that we needed to like cover up or something.
Speaker 1: And that was Australia. I would imagine that's what you're
Speaker 1: talking about yet, right, yeah, yeah, because it.
Speaker 3: Was so bad.
Speaker 1: It was bad.
Speaker 3: Literally, oh my god, oh my god, his wig?
Speaker 1: How why?
Speaker 2: Like why why?
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 2: Oh my god?
Speaker 1: It was bad. But anyway, after bad wig and all
Speaker 1: being knocked to the ground with a slap shot, Jack
Speaker 1: cracks his phone screen and breaks his iPhone.
Speaker 4: We are now over at Ellie's house.
Speaker 1: She gets a text message from Aspen, who sure is
Speaker 1: very confident for the new transfer exchange student. She tells
Speaker 1: the dance girls that today is skirt Day flirt day,
Speaker 1: which sucks for Ellie, who is in pants and likes
Speaker 1: the old tradition, which is track suits before a meet.
Speaker 1: She compromises by putting a skirt over her jumpsuit, which
Speaker 1: looks undeniably awful. And again when I notice fashion and
Speaker 1: you know it's bad. We are now back at Jack's
Speaker 1: brother got him a replacement phone, but it's bedazzled pink,
Speaker 1: and I was like, where are we going with this?
Speaker 1: He says, coach, who remember is his dad, couldn't get
Speaker 1: himself to disconnect it because it's too hard. And this
Speaker 1: is where we learned that their mom has recently died
Speaker 1: and this was her phone. But no time to talk
Speaker 1: this out right now. He sprints out of the house
Speaker 1: for one on one time with Coach aaka Dad. But
Speaker 1: they had these nice, occasional quiet little beats, just the
Speaker 1: brothers who by the way, I loved his brothers in
Speaker 1: this movie. They were the best one episode.
Speaker 3: We have to give out awards, we need to have
Speaker 3: like an entire awards episode, and these two twin brothers
Speaker 3: win it. For siblings, we usually see siblings horrible siblings,
Speaker 3: mean siblings, or annoying siblings. These two guys could not
Speaker 3: have been like the most perfect that's what you hope
Speaker 3: your oldest Oh god, yeah, seriously like guys and they
Speaker 3: do it over and over and over again in this movie,
Speaker 3: and I loved it.
Speaker 1: I was still there for that too. I could not
Speaker 1: I could not agree with you more. They were like
Speaker 1: they're That relationship was like my favorite part of the movie.
Speaker 3: It was just it was these boys were so sweet
Speaker 3: and just the best.
Speaker 1: So Ellie is now ready for school, and gets a
Speaker 1: ride from her excited spiritual mom, who has feng shwaded
Speaker 1: the car for good luck. Obviously, they're trying to tell
Speaker 1: us exactly who this person is right off the bat.
Speaker 4: She also wants to get her daughter a new phone.
Speaker 1: The one she got from her dad is ancient and
Speaker 1: she's attached too much emotion to it. It's become a
Speaker 1: totem keep this in mind, people and can have control
Speaker 1: over her. And this is where we learned that her
Speaker 1: father left her family for another woman. So somebody else
Speaker 1: dealing with the loss of a parent, different type of loss,
Speaker 1: but lost nonetheless. Also, her mom encourages her to find
Speaker 1: a new best friend, since Sassy appears to be trying
Speaker 1: to find some new energy. So this is where I
Speaker 1: was like, eh, we might have another bad mom decom
Speaker 1: alert coming up here. She's obviously cares about her daughter,
Speaker 1: but buckling her in huge helicopter parent Yeah, maybe knowing
Speaker 1: way too many Like how do you already know that
Speaker 1: her best friend is looking for another best friend? This
Speaker 1: is kind of intrusive to know this much this quick.
Speaker 3: No, but it reminded me of my mom. My belief
Speaker 3: was so intuitive of things that were going on. I
Speaker 3: don't know if she was outside my room while I'm
Speaker 3: on the phone or what, but I'm telling you, she
Speaker 3: could help steer me in the direction that I needed to,
Speaker 3: especially when it came to friends, and I had a
Speaker 3: friend that was so awful to me, and she was
Speaker 3: just she wouldn't outright say it. She would just say,
Speaker 3: why don't you think about hanging out with so and so?
Speaker 3: She seems really not, you know, And she just would
Speaker 3: kind of help steer me towards other directions. And I'm
Speaker 3: so grateful that she did because she didn't outright tell me,
Speaker 3: because if she did, I would have been like, real, nope,
Speaker 3: even closer.
Speaker 1: Now you're not friends with that horrible anymore, are you?
Speaker 3: No? And I did get away from them in high school,
Speaker 3: you know, and I'm grateful for that. But this is
Speaker 3: what the house moms have, this weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true trigger.
Speaker 3: And I don't know if again, I don't know how
Speaker 3: she did it. I'm like gonna have to ask her
Speaker 3: for a class on it for it's to.
Speaker 1: Figure it out.
Speaker 3: But there's this weird trigger where, especially with friends, moms
Speaker 3: know how to like gracefully try to help, Okay, get you.
Speaker 4: Then maybe she was them. Maybe she's a great mom.
Speaker 1: By the way, when we do have our award show,
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you an award for not only
Speaker 1: the Cheetah Girls, but also for whitest white part of
Speaker 1: the eye ever. You still have the whitest white part
Speaker 1: of the eye I've ever of anybody I've ever met.
Speaker 1: So we got to make sure, Yeah, we got to
Speaker 1: make sure that that we get your an award because
Speaker 1: it's it's a great award and it's gonna be.
Speaker 3: A big eye trophy, that's right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just think about who you want to think,
Speaker 1: Just think about who you want to thank. But I
Speaker 1: want to thank Vizine for my white part of the eye. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's great. Anyway, it's blink.
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go.
Speaker 1: Blink. It's a different one. We are now back at
Speaker 1: the high school and co ed Claire sends out a
Speaker 1: text she's throwing a Paris themed house party weird, and
Speaker 1: Aspen is already trying to figure out a way to
Speaker 1: uninvite Ellie. That makes it awkward. When Ellie joins her
Speaker 1: teammates Sassy Aspen and the gang because they've taken over
Speaker 1: and it is now mean girl Central, they laugh at
Speaker 1: her skirt over her jumpsuit look, which honestly they should
Speaker 1: because it looks terrible. But also Ellie learns that Sasse
Speaker 1: likes Jack. She didn't even know that, but Aspen did,
Speaker 1: causing even more friction. Aspen convinces Sassy to approach Jack,
Speaker 1: where she gives him an exaggerated hey, Jack, but he
Speaker 1: is too nervous to even respond. Despite the massive fumble,
Speaker 1: coach Dad texts Jack more inspirational quotes. And now we
Speaker 1: have this Dad entered the DCM Bad Parent Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4: I'm going to hold off.
Speaker 1: On putting him there yet because while I got that
Speaker 1: he was a bad parent here, I also knew he
Speaker 1: was hiding something. You could just tell. This was not
Speaker 1: dad where it was like, okay, they're gonna have a
Speaker 1: thing at the end, but the dad is going through
Speaker 1: this was like you knew this guy was trying to
Speaker 1: put on a front. So I'm gonna hold off on
Speaker 1: putting him in that hall of fame yet if a
Speaker 1: same thing.
Speaker 3: It's like he's you could tell, and knowing that we
Speaker 3: get that information about his wife, their mom early on,
Speaker 3: you instantly have a little bit more empathy and give
Speaker 3: him a little bit more grace because he's dealing with
Speaker 3: three high school boys, and how do you navigate that
Speaker 3: as a dad by yourself with also not just you know,
Speaker 3: not saying there's not there, it's not easy, or that
Speaker 3: it's easy with a divorce, but that the mom is
Speaker 3: really gone gone sure, how do you navigate that? And
Speaker 3: also how do you work through that yourself as an
Speaker 3: adult and as like your your loss. So I gave
Speaker 3: him a lot of grace, even yes, he was starting
Speaker 3: to irritate me. And I also am like alert calms
Speaker 3: for me if if I ever get in a position
Speaker 3: where I'm coaching Monroe, like, I'm so scared that I'm
Speaker 3: gonna be this kind of like dance dance, dance, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Can't do that.
Speaker 1: Don't be that mom.
Speaker 3: Don't be a stage my worst night for him. I'm
Speaker 3: so scary for me to never be that for her.
Speaker 1: Well then you haven't asked, but yes, I will coach
Speaker 1: Monroe and okay, perfect, thank you. That'll take a lot
Speaker 1: of the on you anyway.
Speaker 3: Stress.
Speaker 1: Uh, if things couldn't even get any worse, Porter catches
Speaker 1: our boy here in the hallway. He I don't this
Speaker 1: scene anyway, catches him in the halls and bullies him,
Speaker 1: pushing him into the lockers and antagonizing him to fight
Speaker 1: so he can video it and hand it over to
Speaker 1: his dad, all an attempt to get Jack disqualified from varsity.
Speaker 1: He doesn't really he First, he pushes him down, so
Speaker 1: he's filming him on the ground, so obviously he didn't
Speaker 1: start the fight.
Speaker 4: Second, I love that Jack wants to make varsity.
Speaker 1: But this guy is fourteen feet and three hundred pounds
Speaker 1: bigger than him, So make this guy varsity for God's sakes.
Speaker 1: Even if you just put him on skates and sand
Speaker 1: him there, there needed to be more of.
Speaker 3: An equalizers is as as the villain of the story,
Speaker 3: because this just didn't make sense dynamic. Well, he's not
Speaker 3: just taller, he looks he looks like he's out of
Speaker 3: high school. We're gonna he looks like. I love James,
Speaker 3: I'm a fan of phenomenal. But at the same time,
Speaker 3: like there there needed to be it needed to be
Speaker 3: casted somebody closer to the same size and not as
Speaker 3: old looking. You got that he was a senior trying
Speaker 3: to make the team, like, you get that right, but older.
Speaker 1: It looked like he was a senior in college. Who
Speaker 1: has also been left back nine years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. There was just no there was no.
Speaker 1: Chance that acting wise have any other agreed and acting
Speaker 1: wise great casting, but looks wise, it was weird on screen.
Speaker 1: They just they look like two. It's like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: he could have been his babysitter or his dad. They
Speaker 1: could have cast him as his coach dad.
Speaker 4: Anyway.
Speaker 1: Later in the day, Ellie notices that she has a
Speaker 1: chocolate milk mustache and has since lunch, and it looks
Speaker 1: like she's just been eating a bowl of poop. She
Speaker 1: should be concerned because she should have wiped that off,
Speaker 1: and while trying to clean the feces off her face,
Speaker 1: she overhears Aspen and Sassy enter and trash talker once again.
Speaker 1: While she hides in the stall, Aspen says life is
Speaker 1: going to get so much worse for her. They even
Speaker 1: mentioned her deadbeat dad and her antique phone.
Speaker 5: Awful.
Speaker 1: Sassy doesn't actually want to hurt her feelings, which is
Speaker 1: a little late to say after all this, but Aspen
Speaker 1: offers Ellie one more chance socially to come at Claire's party,
Speaker 1: but only if she's a little less Ellie, and if
Speaker 1: she blows that it's flatline. The mean girls leave and
Speaker 1: all this makes Ellie's lip quiver, the one that's not
Speaker 1: covered in poo, like she's gonna cry, which she does
Speaker 1: off camera because it's very hard acting.
Speaker 4: Can you cry and cue mm hmm.
Speaker 1: That's impressive. I can't. I mean I can, but not
Speaker 1: really anyway.
Speaker 3: I have to like work myself into it, Like I
Speaker 3: can't just like cry. I when I had to do
Speaker 3: it for scenes, I have to, Like, I can't like it.
Speaker 3: It's not like I'm at the you know, the snack
Speaker 3: station and you chat it up and then I get
Speaker 3: on camera. No, I mean I have to. But I
Speaker 3: can definitely do that.
Speaker 1: That's very impressive. Yeah, yeah, anyway, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: tell you what I have to think about to cry
Speaker 1: because it's very very sad. It's the toughest episode of
Speaker 1: G I Joe you'll ever watch. Anyway, So we see
Speaker 1: Ellie run off to the nurse's office, where she joins Jack,
Speaker 1: who's having had a bloody nose somehow, even though he
Speaker 1: was pushed down on his back and we're not gonna
Speaker 1: we like him.
Speaker 5: So it's okay.
Speaker 1: The nurse is another character actor and we're saying Now,
Speaker 1: the adults in this movie are great, and we're given
Speaker 1: an awful lot of room to be funny, which is
Speaker 1: something that happened more and more the later d Cooms,
Speaker 1: which I like was the adults were allowed to go
Speaker 1: off a little bit more on their own comedy, which
Speaker 1: is how it should be. Even if they had very
Speaker 1: small parts, they were great. Jack and Ellie, now alone
Speaker 1: with their pain, argue over the expectations placed on boys
Speaker 1: and girls and who has it harder. The nurse, sick
Speaker 1: of the bickering, suggests they text each other like every
Speaker 1: other teenager and just keep quiet. She gives back their
Speaker 1: hand me down phones and the fighting continues. Just now,
Speaker 1: it's continuing very quietly over text bubbles. They both admit
Speaker 1: that they do anything to trade lives, and facetiously they
Speaker 1: make a trade. But that's when the two text bubbles
Speaker 1: become Ghostbuster protons. They twist together in the air and
Speaker 1: blow up, throwing them both to the floor, and just
Speaker 1: like that, they have swapped bodies. It's the swap that's
Speaker 1: the name of the movie. You're Dead I wanted more
Speaker 1: than Hey, we've sent a text and now our phones
Speaker 1: are totems like coumped something, something more inhabited by the
Speaker 1: spirit of whatever they did, something the spirit of her
Speaker 1: mom said, I'm.
Speaker 2: Gonna leave that.
Speaker 4: I mean something to make this.
Speaker 1: More than just We texted at each other and now
Speaker 1: we swapped bodies. Yeah, but I liked everything else. The
Speaker 1: two screaming each other, quickly realizing what has happened. Ellie,
Speaker 1: who is now Jack suggests slapping each other back to reality,
Speaker 1: but that doesn't work. Jack. Now Ellie is confused why
Speaker 1: she's so smelly in weird places. I don't recall smelling
Speaker 1: this much as a teenage boy, but apparently that was
Speaker 1: the thing.
Speaker 3: Guys can't smell it, that's why.
Speaker 1: Oh, maybe that's what it is. You could be right,
Speaker 1: You could be right.
Speaker 3: It can't smell.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe that's what it is. Do we smell that
Speaker 1: bad as teenage boys?
Speaker 3: Well, it's that or the what is it now? It
Speaker 3: used to be When I was in junior high in
Speaker 3: high school, it was cool. Water was the like fragrance
Speaker 3: that you guys chose to Oh.
Speaker 1: Are you talking about axe axe bodies? Ray?
Speaker 3: It's like, Oh my gosh. I walk on campus sometimes
Speaker 3: and it is mind boggling how much these guys don't
Speaker 3: know how a little goes so long.
Speaker 1: Like it's not only that, but if you can buy
Speaker 1: your fragrance at a gas station and get a begger fragrance,
Speaker 1: Like seriously, if you can get a slurpy and axe
Speaker 1: bodies pray, you're in the wrong place.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I know you guys, do you guys just
Speaker 3: kind of smell like so fair enough. I guess it's
Speaker 3: better than the odor that happens the axes.
Speaker 1: But I don't know kind of. I always, by the way,
Speaker 1: smelled like roses, and still this day, I'm the best
Speaker 1: smelling person I've.
Speaker 3: Ever met because you were on here in your uh.
Speaker 1: Hey, sometimes smell like weed is a wonderful thing to smell, like,
Speaker 1: let's be honest.
Speaker 6: Uh Anyway, they figure out that the texts that they
Speaker 6: just sent are what caused the switch, because, like Ellie's
Speaker 6: mom said, both phones have become have become totems with
Speaker 6: special powers.
Speaker 1: They try to wish their bodies back via text, but
Speaker 1: of course that does not work. Okay, I'm in that's fine.
Speaker 1: Eventually they agree they have to make this work for now.
Speaker 1: Jack tells Ellie all about his life, and I love
Speaker 1: how they're like all right, we gotta do a crash course,
Speaker 1: this is my life, this is your life, including calling
Speaker 1: dad coach and the stress of hockey. Ellie talk about
Speaker 1: her mom and how she specializes in ribbon in rhythmic gymnastics.
Speaker 1: I how did you think they were kind of playing
Speaker 1: each other? I actually thought it was pretty good.
Speaker 3: I did too, honestly. I that is something that I
Speaker 3: instantly went wow. I did see a total switch for
Speaker 3: each actor when they took on this new character, right,
Speaker 3: the being a girl and a guy's I mean, they,
Speaker 3: to me did a great job with it. I really
Speaker 3: really thought they did. I think that is one of
Speaker 3: the best parts of the movie that really pulls it off,
Speaker 3: as you do believe it is a guy in a
Speaker 3: girl's body and vice versa. Yeah, really it was good.
Speaker 1: I really did. Then immediately, of course, oh god, I same.
Speaker 1: I have to say him again. Aspin and sassy approach
Speaker 1: Ellie and Jack or Jack and Ellie or however you
Speaker 1: see them. Now, Okay, you know what, Let's go with
Speaker 1: swapped Ellie, which is actually Jack and swapped Jack. There,
Speaker 1: Ellie is everybody on board and break The exchange with
Speaker 1: the mean girls is an awkward mess. They are not
Speaker 1: helping each other here, and unfortunately Porter is back. He
Speaker 1: is taking his little videotape of whatever fight or whatever
Speaker 1: the hell he thinks he caught to the coach, but
Speaker 1: that videotape doesn't really show anything anyway, what the coach
Speaker 1: see is he using AI anyway, We're gonna it's okay.
Speaker 4: He's blackmailing him. Swapped.
Speaker 1: Ellie stands up for Jack, something Jack can barely do
Speaker 1: in his own body, and Porter is impressed. He's attracted
Speaker 1: to Ellie and offers her a free donut, which I.
Speaker 4: Thought was the sex thing.
Speaker 1: Apparently it's not, creating one of possibly the funniest things
Speaker 1: Jack could do, hook up with his bully as a prank.
Speaker 1: Did we ever think the movie was going to go there?
Speaker 1: I thought there was a chance they were gonna end
Speaker 1: up on a date, which I could have been funny.
Speaker 3: It could have been so good.
Speaker 1: It could have because if the date went really well,
Speaker 1: he could have given her a free donut. Anyway, Swapped,
Speaker 1: Ellie gives the bully a hey porty and says she
Speaker 1: will go out with him if he doesn't show the
Speaker 1: video to Jack's dad. The perfect plan and the date
Speaker 1: is set. Our two Swap main characters decide to split up.
Speaker 1: Jack has hockey tryouts and Ellie has the big rhythmic
Speaker 1: meat this weekend. Now we're obviously destined for so dcom
Speaker 1: disaster here. They also need to keep each other's phones
Speaker 1: until this is settled, all while Swapped Ellie needs to
Speaker 1: get her mom's totem book to try to reverse whatever
Speaker 1: spell this is. This is where we get maybe the
Speaker 1: funniest part of the movie here, as Swapped Ellie sprints
Speaker 1: to her mom's little red hippie car and dives into
Speaker 1: the open window just like Jack hid in his dad's pickup.
Speaker 1: It was great physical beat and as shout out here
Speaker 1: to Peytonless stunt double for the great take because it
Speaker 1: was funny. One of Jack's testosterone phil brothers is there
Speaker 1: to pick him up, and Swap Jack tries the same dive,
Speaker 1: which isn't as good as the first one, definitely less successful.
Speaker 1: It looked like he was starting to do a flip
Speaker 1: like he had his hands up like the start of
Speaker 1: a gymnastics routine, which was funny. So yeah, we get
Speaker 1: some uncomfortable conversations between Ellie's mom and Swapped Ellie and
Speaker 1: Jack's brother and swap Jack. I apologize if your head
Speaker 1: is spinning around at this point. It does get confusing
Speaker 1: because no one knows who they're really dealing with. Swapped
Speaker 1: Jack again, strange name even agrees to chopping his salad off.
Speaker 1: Could also be a sex thing. All while our two
Speaker 1: main characters continue to text each other incessantly for advice,
Speaker 1: we are now at rhythmic practice. Swapped Ellie walks into
Speaker 1: the girls locker room, covering her eyes. She doesn't want
Speaker 1: to see any of the naked ladies, you know, like
Speaker 1: any teenage boy at the time.
Speaker 3: Come on, I know, but it was so it was
Speaker 3: so cute.
Speaker 1: Give me one teenage boy who can walk in, first
Speaker 1: of all, has a girl's body of his own, but
Speaker 1: can walk into a girl's locker room and covers his eyes,
Speaker 1: never going I.
Speaker 3: Think he would be just like embarrassed if that's how
Speaker 3: he's gonna see a naked girl, possibly for.
Speaker 1: The first I think he would walk into the locker
Speaker 1: room and say, hey, Becky want a BackRub?
Speaker 4: So yes, that's come on, he's.
Speaker 1: Any any any teenage guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, anyone.
Speaker 1: He's fifteen years old, so come on again, all he's
Speaker 1: to look I mean, that's That's all we're talking about
Speaker 1: is looking at naked girls when you're a fifteen year
Speaker 1: old boy. Yeah, that's what you're gonna want to do,
Speaker 1: all right again, provided you're straight. If you're gay, I
Speaker 1: imagine you want to look at naked boys when you're
Speaker 1: you're that you've got sex on the brain. Your your
Speaker 1: bodies are in a constant state of flux when you're fifteen.
Speaker 1: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: Are girls the same way?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Really, you know, I'm constantly.
Speaker 1: Thinking about sex and your body changing and everything when
Speaker 1: you're fifteen as a girl, I.
Speaker 3: Think it's different if maybe you like maybe like with
Speaker 3: a boyfriend, you would be more so like but like
Speaker 3: just anything like if if a schlong just came out
Speaker 3: and for I would die, I would literally not know
Speaker 3: where to put my eye. I would freak out, there's
Speaker 3: no definitely not be like.
Speaker 1: That's what a guy would do a stick.
Speaker 3: I would literally like, I don't know. I think I
Speaker 3: would pretend to faint or something.
Speaker 1: I don't right, I'm generalizing obviously not every guy you are,
Speaker 1: but one of them would.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just so, not one hundred and one, but exactly.
Speaker 1: She also wears her leotar over her jumpsuit, which is
Speaker 1: insane funny swapped Ellie then starts her stretching, and this
Speaker 1: is where peyton list is her best purposely being way
Speaker 1: too aggressive and lacking any lady like coordination has swapped Ellie.
Speaker 1: It was great. Meanwhile, Jack's twin brothers dogpile him, fared
Speaker 1: on him, aren't excited, and are very excited to cut
Speaker 1: his hair. And then we finally get our first look
Speaker 1: at Jack's real hair. Thank god, the wig is gone.
Speaker 1: It looks great. Don't you agree we're back with real hair. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: thank god.
Speaker 3: He's got great hair. He does wonderful hair. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 3: you could do anything.
Speaker 2: With that hair.
Speaker 1: What's so funny is then go watch Cobra Kai and
Speaker 1: he's hawk because his hair is spiked and blue or red.
Speaker 4: I mean, he's just oh he's a badass.
Speaker 1: So his hair seems to be a big thing for
Speaker 1: this actor back at school, Aspen over here swapped Delli
Speaker 1: calling swap Jack and now she thinks they're flirting behind
Speaker 1: Sassy's back.
Speaker 4: Ooh, a new dilemma of breaking girl code.
Speaker 1: By the way, girl code and boycode are two very
Speaker 1: different things. Boycode is important and matters. Girl code doesn't,
Speaker 1: and Swapped Ellie is finally getting to talk to her
Speaker 1: mom about the totem theory. Her mom also reveals she's
Speaker 1: deactivated the old phone and got her a new one.
Speaker 1: Uh oh, this is gonna ruin everything. Luckily, the switch
Speaker 1: won't be official until Sunday afternoon, but now the clock
Speaker 1: is ticking. Just two days to figure this out or
Speaker 1: they're gonna be stuck in new bodies forever. I love
Speaker 1: a ticking clock. It makes everything awesome. The surprises keep
Speaker 1: coming as Swapped Ellie finds out her mom is taking her.
Speaker 2: To a physical exam.
Speaker 1: Okay, she covers her eyes with a surgical mask so
Speaker 1: she doesn't even see her self.
Speaker 4: Naked again, like all teenage boys would do.
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna tell you how I would spend
Speaker 1: my first day as a woman. The doctors notice that
Speaker 1: things are off a little, but understand losing her dad
Speaker 1: must have been hard.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying anything. I'm just saying I.
Speaker 3: Don't even want to continue. I'm so uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell you. I'm not gonna tell you.
Speaker 1: And now swap Jack must attend hockey practice. Swap Jack
Speaker 1: quickly realizes his Dad isn't much of a dad, and
Speaker 1: that his teammate share mouthguards.
Speaker 4: By the way, this does not ever happen in real life.
Speaker 1: It's gross for guys, for girls, for whatever, especially post COVID. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the hockey team has a practice scrimmage and Porter is
Speaker 1: already threatening Jack with Sunday's big tryout looming. Oh no,
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen?
Speaker 4: But right off the bat swap Jack is horrible.
Speaker 1: He can barely even skate, eventually checking himself into the
Speaker 1: boards and blocking a puck with his johnson, giving Ellie
Speaker 1: first hand experience of how bad that hurts a dude.
Speaker 1: After practice, Coach Dad, he doesn't get it. Who was
Speaker 1: he seeing out there in the ice swap? Jack swears
Speaker 1: things will be better by Sunday, But then coach Dad
Speaker 1: reveals in a just horrible emotional twist that they'll also
Speaker 1: be dedicating a bleacher seat to his mom that day too,
Speaker 1: it's the first anniversary of her death. We also finally
Speaker 1: see a little emotion from his dad. It's nice you
Speaker 1: get to see the crack in the veneer. It's a nice,
Speaker 1: well acted moment. There's something below all the inspirational quotes
Speaker 1: and drills and we hope.
Speaker 4: I know, I hope, and I'm sure you did that.
Speaker 4: We're going to see more.
Speaker 1: Of that later on. Swap Delli call swap Jack with
Speaker 1: info from the Totem books she found. It's all dependent
Speaker 1: on a quest there on which swap Jack thinks is
Speaker 1: to make each other's lives better.
Speaker 4: They need to improve for each other.
Speaker 1: So tomorrow Swapped Ellie will try to get the phone
Speaker 1: contract extended, and swap Jack needs to get Porter to
Speaker 1: fully erase that fight video. Real Jack also learns about
Speaker 1: the bench dedication, and Swapped Ellie apologizes about her dad's disappearance.
Speaker 1: Then mid convo, Coach Dad walks in and confiscates the phone.
Speaker 1: No distractions until after Sunday, yet another roadblock. The next morning,
Speaker 1: Swapjack is awoken by a loud alarm, his friddy twin brothers,
Speaker 1: and Coach Dad, saying, okay, this one's stuck with me.
Speaker 1: Tim to yanks some worms again. Sounds like a weird
Speaker 1: sex thing. They're going training. We've got another montage with
Speaker 1: some upbeat, motivational rap rock, sounding a lot like a
Speaker 1: total Lincoln Park ripoff. The molloys are running through what
Speaker 1: looks like a swamp. Marsh and running drills. Swamp keep
Speaker 1: saying this Swapped Jack can barely keep up, But just
Speaker 1: when he doesn't think you go any further, his amazingly
Speaker 1: awesome and credible twin brothers step up to motivate him.
Speaker 1: They love him so much they want him to succeed.
Speaker 1: This gets swap Jack hyped and he's ready to find
Speaker 1: out what this body and testosterone can do. Meanwhile, Swapped
Speaker 1: Ellie is sleeping in, which is a nice change for Jack.
Speaker 1: She's eventually woken up by Sassy at her door, concerned
Speaker 1: about why she's hanging out with Jack. Aspen thinks she
Speaker 1: has bad intentions, but Sassy hopes she's just trying to
Speaker 1: be a good wing woman. Then Sassy gets one look
Speaker 1: at her onesie pajamas which I was wondering about that too,
Speaker 1: and decides there's no way Jack could ever like her,
Speaker 1: and earnestly suggests that next time someone is eavesdropping on her,
Speaker 1: speak more clearly, and also tells her to act less
Speaker 1: like Ellie again at Claire's party tonight. If we're giving
Speaker 1: out awards, This is now possibly the worst friend ever
Speaker 1: in the history of the Decoms We've watched, so absolutely AWF,
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about your after this podcast. We're
Speaker 1: going to talk about your friend too, because I don't
Speaker 1: like people being mean to you. You're my friend, and
Speaker 1: I don't like swapped Ellie wakes up. She walks into
Speaker 1: the kitchen and she's awake now. She smells banana bread
Speaker 1: being cooked by her quote unquote mom in the kitchen,
Speaker 1: which is also something Jack's mom used to do. It's
Speaker 1: a sad moment, but it's quickly brought back to reality
Speaker 1: when Ellie's mom reveals they are having a mom daughter
Speaker 1: spa day, which seems like this woman plans an awful
Speaker 1: lot of things that involve nudity.
Speaker 4: It's true.
Speaker 1: Swap Jack tells his brother he's missing their workout today
Speaker 1: because he's meeting someone for donuts again not a sex thing.
Speaker 1: But on his way out, he accidentally opens their mom's
Speaker 1: closet and we see pictures, letters, and supportive hockey merch.
Speaker 1: She seems like she was a really great mom. Even
Speaker 1: though Swapjack has no idea what any of this means,
Speaker 1: it's still emotional for everyone, the brothers, everybody. Another just
Speaker 1: great quiet emotional beat. This movie did this very very well, so.
Speaker 4: Good at the spa day.
Speaker 1: While checking in Swapped Ellie notices a cell phone store
Speaker 1: next door. She logs that for later we see scenes
Speaker 1: from the day of pampering, laughing at a foot massage,
Speaker 1: screaming from a waxing, and feeling an incredible rubdown for
Speaker 1: the first time ever.
Speaker 4: As soon as you can.
Speaker 1: Swap Delli down. Sorry, massage, it's a rubdown when you're
Speaker 1: a dude, a massage for the first time ever. Swapped
Speaker 1: Ellie sneaks out to the phone store, all while wearing
Speaker 1: a green algae mask. Meanwhile, Porter is furious to see
Speaker 1: Jack instead of Ellie at the donut date. He's gonna
Speaker 1: go show coach the video now for sure. Swap Jack
Speaker 1: begs him not to. He just wants to talk it
Speaker 1: over over a donut. Porter eventually stays and admits that
Speaker 1: he's been shafted for the varsity spot year after year,
Speaker 1: especially by a Malloy. It sucks. He's over it. Swapjack
Speaker 1: throws his life into crisis, though, asking if maybe he
Speaker 1: should find a new passion. While breaking down, Porter makes
Speaker 1: a little spoon catapult, and this gives Swapjack an idea.
Speaker 1: Just saying Swapjack over and over sounds weird. Introduce him
Speaker 1: to the STEM Club. Now, for those of you who
Speaker 1: don't know STEM, t EM club stands for Science, Technology,
Speaker 1: Engineering and Math Club. I wish I was smart enough
Speaker 1: to have joined that I could not have Now in
Speaker 1: the club, which is luckily meeting at that exact.
Speaker 2: Moment, Porter checks it out.
Speaker 1: While swapped, Jack talks to a cute girl named Mac
Speaker 1: And there are definitely some sparks.
Speaker 2: But does that.
Speaker 1: Mean there are sparks between her and Ellie because it's Ellie,
Speaker 1: not just she.
Speaker 3: She has a moment in the very beginning when she's
Speaker 3: wearing a skirt. When Ellie's wearing the skirt, she has
Speaker 3: a moment already that says like I wish I wouldn't
Speaker 3: have caved. So you can tell that this girl has
Speaker 3: been seeing Ellie as like a potential friend, right, like
Speaker 3: she's already seen they likes Ellie to be like as
Speaker 3: a friend.
Speaker 4: But they did make it seem like there's a spark between.
Speaker 3: The tour of a love connection.
Speaker 1: Yes, and that would be Ellie not Jack. So yeah,
Speaker 1: this is where it gets a little huh huh. But
Speaker 1: we've run in this same situation before in a decom
Speaker 1: and also has found his new calling, which is the
Speaker 1: Stem Club.
Speaker 4: He's mesmerized.
Speaker 1: We are now at the phone store, while of course
Speaker 1: still in that algae mask swapped. Ellie as trying to
Speaker 1: get her contract extended, but she can't. It turns out
Speaker 1: it was her dad that canceled it and not her mom.
Speaker 1: Without the ability to fix this part of her life,
Speaker 1: and after admitting Ellie's life is harder, Jack needs something
Speaker 1: new to work on, so she's going to focus on
Speaker 1: Claire's party tonight. Ellie must fix things with Sassy to
Speaker 1: get back her BFF, even though we all know she
Speaker 1: is an absolute friend. And right then, Aspen enters the
Speaker 1: spa slash beauty parlor for tonight's big party. Ellie sneaks
Speaker 1: around to eavesdrop while she's getting her hair colored. Okay, again,
Speaker 1: this girl is trash talking Ellie. It's like she can
Speaker 1: talk about nothing else but how much she hates this girl.
Speaker 1: The hairdresser places an eyemask on Aspen. Do they often
Speaker 1: im ask you when you're getting your hair done?
Speaker 3: No? At that part was strange.
Speaker 1: Okay, there's a lot of strange eye masks in this movie.
Speaker 1: And she says she'll be back swapped Ellie sees this
Speaker 1: as an opportunity to pretend she's the hairdresser and applies
Speaker 1: tons of different colors to Aspen's hair and this is
Speaker 1: a big win and Swapped Ellie is now pumped to
Speaker 1: get a makeover and a new out for the for
Speaker 1: the party tonight, and she's got to look amazing. Swap
Speaker 1: Jack is nervous and suggests a chance to relax and
Speaker 1: not just train all the time. His brother suggests Owen's
Speaker 1: game night, and swap Jack is jazzed about that, but
Speaker 1: then Porter arrives on a little scooter. Swap Jack assumes
Speaker 1: he's there to crush him, but instead he gets a
Speaker 1: big bear hug. Porter has found his calling. He's an engineer.
Speaker 1: He says he owes Jack a favor for encouraging him
Speaker 1: and erases the video from his phone.
Speaker 4: Things are looking up.
Speaker 1: We get a quick dcom montage of course, bouncing between
Speaker 1: swapped Delli getting ready for the party and swap Jack
Speaker 1: taking his mom stuff out of the closet. Swap Jack
Speaker 1: also finds his cell phone. He texts Porter he already
Speaker 1: needs that favor that Porter promised him. Then we see
Speaker 1: swap Delli get dropped off. At Claire's party, it's already
Speaker 1: in full swing, but it's really not French themed at all,
Speaker 1: except there's like a French song playing, and there's make
Speaker 1: Sure of the Eiffel Tower, and I think somebody is
Speaker 1: eating a crep. But it's like, how was this French themed?
Speaker 1: And Aspen's wearing a beret? We are low on the
Speaker 1: extra count in this movie. You can tell there's nine
Speaker 1: people at this party and they're all girls. Did you
Speaker 1: go did you have all girl parties.
Speaker 2: In high school?
Speaker 3: Yeah, a birthday party.
Speaker 1: They'd be all girls at a birthday party. You wouldn't
Speaker 1: invite guys to the birthday part.
Speaker 3: I mean what. I feel like this was sort of
Speaker 3: trying to mimic like a.
Speaker 1: Eighth grade birthday party, like.
Speaker 3: A like a girl's tea type, you know. So, yeah,
Speaker 3: you wouldn't invite guys to that. They're not going to
Speaker 3: like appreciate.
Speaker 2: I get you with you.
Speaker 3: I feel like it was kind of like that if
Speaker 3: you did a girly or themed party, you would do
Speaker 3: just girls. If you did more of just a generic
Speaker 3: one than it'd be girls and guys.
Speaker 1: Man, it must have been must been really cool to
Speaker 1: be invited to parties. Back at Jack's, Porter arrives with
Speaker 1: a zip line launcher, ready to free swamp Jack from
Speaker 1: the second floor. We also learned Porter doesn't have any friends.
Speaker 1: Don't you're dealing with Porter, I know what you're dealing with.
Speaker 1: So swamp Jack invites him to game night. A funny
Speaker 1: subtle joke here is that swap Jack, who remember is Ellie,
Speaker 1: thinks introducing a new person to a friend group is
Speaker 1: very complex since she's used to the way the girls
Speaker 1: work and the girl's dynamic. But when a guy comes
Speaker 1: to see Porter, they're immediately embrace him. They don't care.
Speaker 1: It's seriously how it works, like it's my buddy Jack, Hey,
Speaker 1: how you doing? And eat a piece of pizza. You're
Speaker 1: in that's all just girls.
Speaker 3: It's like a drill down, a lookdown, a whole thing
Speaker 3: of It's still like that. As an adult friend, I
Speaker 3: have so many friends that they have to keep their
Speaker 3: friend groups different and separated. It gives them anxiety to like,
Speaker 3: mesh there. I'm not like that. I'm more the merrier
Speaker 3: per kind of person, but I have friends still like that.
Speaker 3: Girls are still like that. It's so weird to me,
Speaker 3: but it is definitely a girl thing.
Speaker 1: Guys are like, hey, do you eat food? Yeah? Me too?
Speaker 4: All right, who friends that simple?
Speaker 1: That's how easy it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We're now back at Claire's and Swapped Ellie is eating
Speaker 1: what I think is supposed to be a crep again.
Speaker 1: When the mean girls approach, Aspen points out the makeover
Speaker 1: and says it's to woo over Jack, which anger Sassy,
Speaker 1: who's still a worse friend ever. Swapped Ellie just wants
Speaker 1: to be cool, but Sassy isn't buying it, so she
Speaker 1: storms off, leaving Swapped Ellie still with what I think
Speaker 1: is the crep that she's slamming into her mouth until
Speaker 1: Mack appears. She asks Swapped Ellie to dance, and oh
Speaker 1: my god, we love them together. On the dance floor,
Speaker 1: Swapped Ellie leads the girls in a synchronized punching and
Speaker 1: lifting motion, which is supposed to be a Jack bonehead move,
Speaker 1: but everyone loves it. Mack also admits to liking Jack,
Speaker 1: which again is Ellie.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 1: Real Jack may have promised to get Sassy back as
Speaker 1: a BFF, but Swap Jack is realizing that the real
Speaker 1: help would be ditching Sassy right on. Swapjacks exactly back
Speaker 1: at the boys game night Swapjack is scarfing carbs and
Speaker 1: ignoring his workout regime. He's trying to figure out what
Speaker 1: his life is all about when it's not hockey and training,
Speaker 1: and figures out that Jack likes girls but has absolutely
Speaker 1: no game. His friends suggest to casually hang out with
Speaker 1: a girl before he steps it up to a crush.
Speaker 1: Just get comfortable first, very very good advice. Nothing helps
Speaker 1: you understand more understand how a girl will think if
Speaker 1: you want to ask her out than having friends that
Speaker 1: are just platonic girlfriends that can help you get into
Speaker 1: that mindset.
Speaker 3: Always see, but guys don't really help in that situation
Speaker 3: for a girl.
Speaker 1: No, it's not.
Speaker 3: The opposite, No, because guys don't give any kind of advice.
Speaker 3: They'll just say just just talk to him or whatever.
Speaker 3: There's no there's no different mind works where a girl
Speaker 3: will sit there and break it down for a guy. Right,
Speaker 3: they break it down. Here's what you do. These are good,
Speaker 3: these are good ideas. Guys do not do that. I
Speaker 3: had so many guy friends that never once helped me
Speaker 3: like get the guy that I actually wanted as my crush.
Speaker 1: Like, but you know the guys that you would look
Speaker 1: for advice from that. Are your friends also want to
Speaker 1: hook up with you too?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: We're just friends?
Speaker 1: No? No, no, okay, nope, nope. Those guys that were
Speaker 1: just your friends were absolutely your friends, but they also
Speaker 1: wanted to hook up with you too. That's the difference.
Speaker 3: Yes, okayest thing you've ever said.
Speaker 1: That's it's so weird.
Speaker 4: Okay, wait till the comments come rolling in.
Speaker 1: Guys and girls people that are like guys and girls
Speaker 1: can't be friends. That's guys and girls can totally be friends.
Speaker 1: Guys and girls are sometimes the best friends in the world. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you still want to hook.
Speaker 3: Up with the girl? Oh okay, yeah.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if that changes how you look
Speaker 1: at your guy friends. Yeah, not when you're married, not
Speaker 1: as an adult when you're married.
Speaker 3: I'm talking back at that my friendship.
Speaker 1: When you're talking about back in that age, when you're fourteen, fifteen, sixteen,
Speaker 1: the guys like you go, hey, Billy, how do I
Speaker 1: hook up with Mark? Billy's like, here's how you do it.
Speaker 1: Billy wanted you to. That's just the way, though, Bill,
Speaker 1: I know it's true. Anyway, At Claire, I'm glad I.
Speaker 3: Could educate you yell.
Speaker 1: At Claire's Aspen and Sassy continue you their mean girl ways,
Speaker 1: their bored and start to mess with people's heads at
Speaker 1: the photo booth, which gets the attention of Claire and
Speaker 1: Swapped Ellie. Swapped Delli tells him to cut it out,
Speaker 1: but Aspen and Sassey are total and fight back. Swapped
Speaker 1: Ellie says she knows Jack molloy wouldn't like this behavior
Speaker 1: because they're very tight.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: Aspen takes this as a declaration that she and Jack
Speaker 1: are dating and wants to take an excursion jump to conclusions.
Speaker 2: Much there Aspen.
Speaker 1: Back at the guys party, the boys are rating girls
Speaker 1: one out of ten. This happens, which annoys Ellie in
Speaker 1: Jack's body. Eventually they get to ranking Ellie oh in.
Speaker 1: One of Jack's friends thinks she's so hot, which causes
Speaker 1: Swap Jack to do a spit take, and just then
Speaker 1: everyone gets a text from Aspen.
Speaker 2: She wants the school to meet at.
Speaker 1: The river to figure out who is Jack's bay once
Speaker 1: and for all. Uh oh. At the River, Swap Jack
Speaker 1: and Swapped Ellie arrive with their respective little party gangs.
Speaker 1: Swapped Ellie immediately tells Swap Jack to kiss her he's
Speaker 1: taken aback, but instead decides to walk to a nearby
Speaker 1: bridge they can be alone away from the group. She
Speaker 1: admits she made it seem like they were dating, which
Speaker 1: in my opinion, she'd really do. But anyway, but now
Speaker 1: they have to do something about it. It's real bro
Speaker 1: code versus girl code moment, trader versus liar, damned if
Speaker 1: you do, damned if you don't kind of thing. Swamped
Speaker 1: Ellie storms off and Aspen once again tries to kick
Speaker 1: her while she's down with insults, but swap Ellie has
Speaker 1: hit her breaking points.
Speaker 4: She squares up, ready to fight.
Speaker 2: Yes, finally fight up. Punch that chick in the face.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, she deserves it. Let's go, let's go.
Speaker 3: I was waiting for this moment the whole movie.
Speaker 1: God, just slap her. I want a T shirt with
Speaker 1: your face, with just your picture that just says punch
Speaker 1: that chick in the face and a giant bubble next
Speaker 1: to it. That's my new favorite thing you've ever said,
Speaker 1: punch that chick in the face. So Sassy jumps in.
Speaker 1: She says, stop being such a guy about this. If
Speaker 1: you want to be besties, then sure, we're besties. But
Speaker 1: swapped Ellie is disgusted and lets her have it, calling
Speaker 1: her fickle and a terrible friend, and removes aspens beret
Speaker 1: to reveal the rainbow hair. Everything is ruined and swap
Speaker 1: Jack is furious he lost his BFF for good. Jack's
Speaker 1: dad arrives, furious that he snuck out. He wants Jack
Speaker 1: to get in the car, but swap Jack is hesitant
Speaker 1: and swapped Ellie is telling him not to do it.
Speaker 1: Swap Jack starts to cry and gives in. He walks
Speaker 1: to the car, prompting the coach to tell him boys
Speaker 1: don't cry. Ugh, ridiculous. I am not a big crier.
Speaker 1: I've never been a big crier. That's just the way
Speaker 1: I am my entire life. I just don't cry. But
Speaker 1: the idea that boys can't cry is ridiculous.
Speaker 3: If we're gonna cry, not to cry. Now, did your
Speaker 3: brothers say guys don't cry?
Speaker 2: Nope, we were never.
Speaker 1: My dad was in the military and a lawyer, but
Speaker 1: we were never raised to boys don't cry. What you
Speaker 1: know wasn't not at all we were. We also weren't
Speaker 1: raised to be the most ridiculous like the world runs
Speaker 1: on our emotions, not in any way I think we
Speaker 1: were raised with a very good balance, but no, we could.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you had to cry, you cry.
Speaker 1: That's okay.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's how it was. I just never did.
Speaker 1: It's probably because I'm dead inside. Anyway, Back at the Loyhouse,
Speaker 1: coach Dad has focused on punishment and Jack redeeming himself
Speaker 1: at the tryout, but swap Jack just gets in bed depressed,
Speaker 1: and this is when Dad notices his wife's things in
Speaker 1: the room and quickly leaves another one of those small
Speaker 1: tender moments. His twin brothers, ah, I love them so much,
Speaker 1: enter to try and help, and just leave the aforementioned
Speaker 1: list of goals applot device we definitely forgot about on
Speaker 1: his bed, but it works so well. It shows swap
Speaker 1: Jack the list was made when Jack's mom was alive
Speaker 1: and his mom like notarized the list. It was very sweet,
Speaker 1: It was very emotional. Swapped Ellie then returns home, furious
Speaker 1: from the party and watching himself walk away from Sassey
Speaker 1: then leave in his dad's car. We get a very
Speaker 1: warped tour Arab ballad as Swapped Ellie swipes through a
Speaker 1: digital picture frame, seeing childhood pictures of Ellie and Sassey
Speaker 1: together posing with her jerk absentee dad and now we
Speaker 1: know and she knows, he knows that she just can't
Speaker 1: lose another person in her life. That's what this is about.
Speaker 1: But also both these people are doing very bad things.
Speaker 1: So sometimes you just have to kick the people out
Speaker 1: of your life that are toxic. But tough thing to
Speaker 1: do when you're talking about your best friend and your dad.
Speaker 3: And at that age, of course, that age is not
Speaker 3: an age where you can understand, No, the tragedies that
Speaker 3: this person is, like, the trauma that this person's bringing
Speaker 3: into your life is not worth it. They don't understand
Speaker 3: that at that time, like.
Speaker 1: They just don't. And also throw in the other layer
Speaker 1: of magically being switched into another body and forget it right,
Speaker 1: Swap Jack and Swap Ellie texts each other to apologize
Speaker 1: for their actions at the party and with an idea
Speaker 1: to make sure tomorrow goes smoothly. They reveal the swap
Speaker 1: to Jack's pal Owen, which happened very quickly, and he
Speaker 1: bought it. He was like, all right, you're in different
Speaker 1: bodies and get in to open the sports complex. He
Speaker 1: accepts the situation again instantly, but hey, that's what a
Speaker 1: friend's supposed to do. Absolutely, you call a friend, don't.
Speaker 3: Know the timeframe of it, like he's just coming to help, however,
Speaker 3: and so we don't really. I mean, it's pretty that
Speaker 3: they move through it fast, but thank god because now
Speaker 3: we already know we have ninety one minutes and we
Speaker 3: don't need another minute anyways.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's what a friend does. A friend buys
Speaker 1: you at your word exactly. Yeah, you call a friend
Speaker 1: and say, hey, dude, I use you to show up
Speaker 1: at my house with them the shovel and a bag
Speaker 1: of lie.
Speaker 4: They say, front door or back.
Speaker 1: That's whose truck will be taken. That's all you need
Speaker 1: to know. So that's good friend.
Speaker 3: And we love him from zombies anyway, So anything he does,
Speaker 3: it's great, we love it.
Speaker 1: They use this time, a very limited amount of time,
Speaker 1: to teach each other hockey and gymnastics, since your body
Speaker 1: should be able to remember it all from muscle memory.
Speaker 1: Good idea. This would all be again, though, within a
Speaker 1: very few hours, which is not a good plan. But
Speaker 1: we get another montage watching them master their respective sports.
Speaker 1: And this is when I was like, Okay, we now
Speaker 1: officially have too many montages. You're starting to lose me
Speaker 1: a little bit, but I get it.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: They have the swap versions figuring out all of what
Speaker 1: they have to do, just in time for Sunday. The
Speaker 1: rhythmic event is upon us, and the real Ellie was
Speaker 1: hope her dad would show, but he hasn't. Swapped Ellie,
Speaker 1: who is now accompanied by Owen, notices this and feels
Speaker 1: bad for her. We also see the bench dedication and
Speaker 1: it's very sweet. The bench says Heaven's number one hockey mom.
Speaker 1: Yet another montage again, I keep pointing them out because
Speaker 1: there's now at this point too many, And we see
Speaker 1: swapped Ellie killing it with the routine and swap Jack
Speaker 1: doing great with the four on four scrimmage. Jack scores
Speaker 1: a goal and Ellie completes a perfect ten or whatever
Speaker 1: the hell they score, and rhythm gymnastics a square with
Speaker 1: a circle through it whatever, I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: The team is saved and Jack makes varsity. Our main
Speaker 1: characters meet up and they celebrate their wins, but there's
Speaker 1: only forty five minutes left to swap back. They trade
Speaker 1: phones in text I wish I had my life back,
Speaker 1: but uh oh, it doesn't fail fail. They trade back
Speaker 1: phones again and again, still not working. It doesn't work
Speaker 1: this time, it doesn't work that time. Swap Jack thinks
Speaker 1: they should talk to her mom about extending the contract,
Speaker 1: but swap Ellie breaks the bad news. It was her
Speaker 1: dad who did it. It was just her mom covering
Speaker 1: for him because he wanted a new family plan for
Speaker 1: his new family.
Speaker 3: Wow, shout on off.
Speaker 1: It looks like they will be staying in these bodies forever.
Speaker 1: Roll credits that tough set. I'm kidding. That was not
Speaker 1: the end of the movie. Nope, we are back at
Speaker 1: the Malloy's coach dad continues to be an absolute asshole.
Speaker 1: He doesn't congratulate his son at all. He minimizes the
Speaker 1: accomplishment and tells him he barely made the team. Swap
Speaker 1: Jack speaks up, asking if he knows how that makes
Speaker 1: a kid feel. Jack's dad says, you must block out emotions.
Speaker 1: You can't open yourself up to weakness. But it's obvious
Speaker 1: he's really talking about his dead wife and not hockey.
Speaker 1: So sad. On the other side of town, Swapped Ellie
Speaker 1: is walking with her mom, obviously sad. Her mom thinks
Speaker 1: it's because her dad didn't show up. Out the competition,
Speaker 1: but we know it's because Jack is now forever a lady.
Speaker 1: But the truth is both Ellie and Jack have to
Speaker 1: let go of the recent losses they've experienced. They have
Speaker 1: more in common than they think. Swapped Ellie starts crying
Speaker 1: and says she misses her mom. We get a touching
Speaker 1: scene here where Ellie's mom thinks it's about her and
Speaker 1: they embrace. It's a really well written scene where Elly's
Speaker 1: mom can be Jack's mom for a second and it
Speaker 1: makes sense for everybody. Did you love this? I love
Speaker 1: I did too.
Speaker 3: There was so much depth and how each character it
Speaker 3: was believable too. How you can take what the mom
Speaker 3: is saying to swapped Ellie and how he's Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: It was so good and it was written so well.
Speaker 1: I just was like, wow, Yeah, they get He gets
Speaker 1: to talk to his mom again and she gets to
Speaker 1: talk to her dad again. It just really worked.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So and at the Malloy's what we were just talking about,
Speaker 1: Swap Jack Snap's big time yells at his dad, did
Speaker 1: you even love me at all?
Speaker 4: Again? We have the swap parents stepping in for the
Speaker 4: actual parent.
Speaker 1: The character's mad at Jack's dad doesn't want to have
Speaker 1: the conversation, but Jack doesn't let up. Ending with boys
Speaker 1: can cry, they even should sometimes the twins watch on
Speaker 1: and again Jack and Elly's feelings are actually interchangeable. With
Speaker 1: this out of the way, swapped Ellie and swap Jack
Speaker 1: feel reborn. They know the goals have been accomplished, and
Speaker 1: they meet each other at the river with five minutes left.
Speaker 1: They text that they wish they had their lives back
Speaker 1: because everything is so much better, and boom, the pink
Speaker 1: and blue protons appear and they swap back bodies. They
Speaker 1: excitedly hug, and now real Ellie runs off to her mom,
Speaker 1: finally completing a hug between actual family members. Ellie announces
Speaker 1: she's gonna be okay and is pregnant. Yes, just making
Speaker 1: sure you're all still with me. She's not pregnant. Jack
Speaker 1: returns home without any knowledge of their prior blow up
Speaker 1: with his coach Dad, and they come face to face.
Speaker 1: Coach Dad immediately make sure he's now just called Dad.
Speaker 1: He admits that ever since his mom died, he's been
Speaker 1: too hard on the boys. He's been avoiding the pain,
Speaker 1: and now he knows he's wrong. He loves them more
Speaker 1: than they'll ever know. They bro hug and even his
Speaker 1: dad cries. For as messy as this movie is a
Speaker 1: time for as many montages as there were. The emotional
Speaker 1: scenes worked really, really well. But it's tough to forgive
Speaker 1: the dad. But I did, damn it. I forgave him
Speaker 1: because of everything that he went through.
Speaker 3: I just didn't forgive the change of his voice. All
Speaker 3: of a sudden, his voice it sound like a completely
Speaker 3: different actor's voice. Really, yes, it was like and I
Speaker 3: went and rewound it to and it must have been.
Speaker 3: It was It must have been an actor's choice right
Speaker 3: where he was. Coach had like a calmer, different voice
Speaker 3: and like.
Speaker 1: It Okay, I did not notice.
Speaker 3: That, man, I was like, why is she? Why love?
Speaker 2: Why did you change?
Speaker 1: It is? Now the next day at school we get
Speaker 1: updates on everyone through text bubbles. Claire says her party
Speaker 1: picks are going viral in France, which might just be
Speaker 1: the least believable thing in.
Speaker 4: The entire movie.
Speaker 1: After after they've switched bodies. I believe that, more than
Speaker 1: the fact that anything is going viral, that she did
Speaker 1: in France is.
Speaker 2: No longer right exactly It's.
Speaker 1: Called in France. That wasn't a French accent at all.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that was. Aspen is no
Speaker 1: longer the hot popular girl, she's too shallow. Owen is
Speaker 1: going to ask out Ellie, and Ellie is suggesting Mac
Speaker 1: ask out Jack, Mac and Jack.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 1: And even Porter has some friends now, which he should
Speaker 1: he's forty. Then Ellie runs into Aspen and Sassy. Sassy
Speaker 1: apologizes for being a jerk, and then Ellie says she's
Speaker 1: cool not being BFFs anymore. They can just hold onto
Speaker 1: their memories and move on and they agree in peace.
Speaker 1: And this was such a weird ending for this storyline
Speaker 1: for me, it was so strange.
Speaker 3: I loved it for Ellie because yes, this girl no.
Speaker 3: And again, I think as relationships, and it's hard for
Speaker 3: girls at this age because they do meet a lot
Speaker 3: of their best friends in kindergarten, right, and then you
Speaker 3: stick with the best friend because you've just known them
Speaker 3: for so long. And sometimes people and this is a
Speaker 3: good thing that girls have to go through and know
Speaker 3: some times it's okay to just be those best friends.
Speaker 3: From that age. You don't have to be best friends
Speaker 3: anymore because you are different people with different different likes
Speaker 3: and dislikes and things like that, And in this case,
Speaker 3: Savzy's so gess to just leave alone and move on
Speaker 3: because but it was weird. I almost think it would
Speaker 3: have been better to like not have a conversation. I
Speaker 3: don't think they needed to have this, like.
Speaker 1: Just like yeah, yeah, like we're not friends anymore, but
Speaker 1: like you know, we'll always hold on to the memories
Speaker 1: or whatever. You know.
Speaker 4: Not everyone's supposed to be your friend all the time.
Speaker 1: One of the best analogies I've ever heard is you
Speaker 1: have to consider yourself like a rocket ship, and as
Speaker 1: you're flying up, some of the solid rocket boosters float
Speaker 1: away because they're not meant to fly as high as
Speaker 1: you are. Oh and I always thought that was cool
Speaker 1: that I already will every time I realize I have
Speaker 1: no friends. I'm kidding. I have wonderful friends.
Speaker 4: I really do.
Speaker 1: But the biggest surprise of all it appears that Ellie
Speaker 1: and Jack are going to set up their parents. But
Speaker 1: Jack is just as bad with women as his son is,
Speaker 1: stumbling over his words and sweating, and as the two
Speaker 1: parents flirt, Jack and Ellie text about how they wish
Speaker 1: they could help, but quickly delete the messages, thinking it
Speaker 1: could swap them again, and then we get some alternate
Speaker 1: jokes and bloopers over the credits at the end, and
Speaker 1: that is our movie.
Speaker 3: Wow, big smile.
Speaker 1: Big smile. Movie done. Let's do real reviews. We know
Speaker 1: what you well, y'all know already what we think of
Speaker 1: the movie. But what did random people think of the movie?
Speaker 1: Sabrina for twenty twenty five. I think you start with
Speaker 1: the five star review, and if I'm not wrong, it
Speaker 1: is written by somebody who writes a lot of these reviews.
Speaker 1: Am I right?
Speaker 3: Yes, unamid Welcome Back, Come Back, unnamed review, five star.
Speaker 3: This film takes deep wroths of loss and abandonment and
Speaker 3: manages to express them without sugarcoating in any way. It's
Speaker 3: unique yet organic.
Speaker 2: I think that's true.
Speaker 3: I loved it.
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with that at all. Probably wouldn't given
Speaker 1: it five stars. Lots of montages, but I like what
Speaker 1: the sentiment. Yeah. I have the one star review to
Speaker 1: start the year off, and this is from Autumn K.
Speaker 1: As someone who read the book, I want to say
Speaker 1: that the movie honestly sucked. Ellie plays soccer in the book,
Speaker 1: not ribbon dancing or whatever. By the way, it makes
Speaker 1: it very clear in the book that Summer and Ellie
Speaker 1: both have red hair.
Speaker 2: Why are they both blonde?
Speaker 1: Then? Also, the movie cut out one of Jack's brothers
Speaker 1: entirely for some reason. They didn't even swap bodies the
Speaker 1: same way in this movie. I see what they were
Speaker 1: trying to do, but it's just not good. First of all,
Speaker 1: as an avid reader, as you can see from everything,
Speaker 1: the book is always better than the movie.
Speaker 4: That's just the way it is. But it seems a
Speaker 4: little nitpicky to me.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and also who was Summer.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know Summer and Nellie. They
Speaker 1: must have changed it from Summer to Sassy.
Speaker 3: Oh maybe okay, yeah, or Summer matter what color hair
Speaker 3: they haven't you being crazy?
Speaker 1: I think you're nitpicking Autumn. And I don't think about
Speaker 1: your real name Autum. Okay, and now our favorite time.
Speaker 1: And I'm sensing good things in the future for Sabrina
Speaker 1: with this uh in twenty twenty five, I am not sure. Well,
Speaker 1: Luckily wrote and created this one as well. Yes, this
Speaker 1: is a new feature called Swap or Flop. We are
Speaker 1: going to get a film synopsis describing a body swap
Speaker 1: movie and we have to decide if it's a real
Speaker 1: thing or something just completely made up from the crazy
Speaker 1: mind of our producer Jensen. So again, the question is,
Speaker 1: are these body swap movies real or they completely made up?
Speaker 1: Three out of five wins. I thought I'd be good
Speaker 1: at these, and then I read them.
Speaker 3: You read them, of course I did.
Speaker 1: I didn't google.
Speaker 2: I didn't google.
Speaker 4: I read them.
Speaker 1: Okay, I have no idea any of them. I have
Speaker 1: no idea. So here we go, number one, producer Jensen,
Speaker 1: and I take it, you're on board.
Speaker 5: I'm here.
Speaker 7: I feel like twenty twenty five is a new start
Speaker 7: for Sabrina. I like, maybe we go into this without
Speaker 7: any prejudgments about what she's gonna do.
Speaker 1: Okay, I love that. Here we go. So number one,
Speaker 1: a self obsessed stand up comedian is on the fast
Speaker 1: track to fame when his body is hijacked by the
Speaker 1: spirit of a jealous Heckler, and now he must find
Speaker 1: a way to regain his body before the impostor ruins
Speaker 1: his career forever. If this isn't real, Jensen, you need
Speaker 1: to write this script immediately.
Speaker 3: I was just thinking.
Speaker 1: That I'm gonna say a good idea, it's real. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say it's real. What about you, Sabrina, I think
Speaker 1: it's fake?
Speaker 7: Twenty twenty five is off to a very familiar start.
Speaker 7: It is real. It's a movie called The Heckler from
Speaker 7: twenty fourteen.
Speaker 1: It's a great idea.
Speaker 3: Okay, I want to watch that. That's probably so funny.
Speaker 4: Here we go.
Speaker 1: Number two. While on a nature get away at a
Speaker 1: remote cabin, and expectant couple stumble on a magic box
Speaker 1: swapping out their souls and the pregnant wife's body. So
Speaker 1: then with the box, So it's a pregnant Ah, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say, fake.
Speaker 2: What do you can do?
Speaker 1: Sobrita, uh fake fifty fifty can't get it right?
Speaker 5: That was real.
Speaker 7: It's called Swap Me Baby from twenty twenty two. If
Speaker 7: you don't believe me, it is currently viewable on twob.
Speaker 2: Swap Me Baby.
Speaker 1: Even the title, Oh man, all right, three, I love
Speaker 1: these are real. I'm gonna laugh when all five of
Speaker 1: these are real. Number three, Seventeen year old Millie spends
Speaker 1: her days trying to survive the riggers of high school,
Speaker 1: but when she becomes the latest target of the Butcher,
Speaker 1: the town's infamous serial killer, her senior year becomes the
Speaker 1: least of her.
Speaker 4: But wait, where would the swapping be?
Speaker 3: Can't tell us.
Speaker 1: It's got to be fake because unless she swaps with
Speaker 1: the serial killer, there's no swapping involved.
Speaker 3: We haven't heard of a horror film version of this
Speaker 3: just yet. It could be real.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say fake. What are you gonna do?
Speaker 3: We haven't had a fake once. I'll just go with fake.
Speaker 5: It's actually a really good movie.
Speaker 7: It's called Freaky, and it's very good, and it's in
Speaker 7: twenty twenty, and it's Vince bonn is truly.
Speaker 5: Amazing Bond movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, does she swap? Oh, we'd have heard of this.
Speaker 1: She swaps with him, she becomes the serial killer. I've
Speaker 1: heard of this movie.
Speaker 7: I pulled the synopsis direct. I wasn't going to change anything.
Speaker 2: So, okay, I've heard of that movie.
Speaker 5: Damn it, it's great.
Speaker 4: Okay, I've heard it's good.
Speaker 1: This was like everybody was like, oh my god, he's back, Vince.
Speaker 5: He's a superstar in it.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: Oh what's it called again?
Speaker 5: Freaky like a freaky Fried?
Speaker 1: I've heard of this, Okay.
Speaker 4: Number four.
Speaker 1: Tom Brand is a billionaire whose workaholic lifestyle keeps him
Speaker 1: away from his loving wife and teenage daughter when he
Speaker 1: buys a seemingly harmless cat from mysterious pet store. A
Speaker 1: bizarre turn of events trapped Tom in the feline's body,
Speaker 1: whose name is also mister fuzzy Pants. I'm saying real
Speaker 1: because it's too awesome. It's gotta be real, real, real.
Speaker 5: It is real.
Speaker 7: Yes, it's from twenty sixteen. It's called Nine Lives, And
Speaker 7: as if this movie can't get any worse, it stars
Speaker 7: Kevin Spacey.
Speaker 1: Oh god, Kevin Spacey in a movie cat.
Speaker 3: Oh god, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: Oh that's brilliant. Okay, so I've got two, number number three,
Speaker 1: here we go. Number five. A sexist womanizer is killed
Speaker 1: by a group of angry former lovers. He makes a
Speaker 1: deal with God to return to Earth, but he must
Speaker 1: have a sincere relationship with a woman to make it
Speaker 1: to heaven. But one catch. He is reincarnated as a woman.
Speaker 1: Oh god, I hope it's real. It's gotta be real.
Speaker 1: I think Jensen pulled this switch through and they're all real.
Speaker 3: It's real.
Speaker 1: It's gotta be real.
Speaker 5: I did switch. I slapped them out. It's a real movie.
Speaker 7: Nineteen ninety one Switch, which stars Ellen Barkin.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, yeah.
Speaker 4: Does she play God or.
Speaker 5: She's she's the Woman reincarnation?
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, why technically won I got three?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: You got?
Speaker 3: You put that in our group text the name of
Speaker 3: all these movies because I want to see every single one.
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm not sure you want to see the
Speaker 7: two B one, but but definitely Freaky and probably Switch.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't need to see mister fuzzy Pants.
Speaker 3: No no, no no.
Speaker 7: I don't want to be watching any Kevin Spacey movies
Speaker 7: for the first time.
Speaker 1: Not gonna happen. Okay, thank you so much, jens Ah,
Speaker 1: he did it, he did it. Yeah, I want to
Speaker 1: twenty five.
Speaker 5: I want to know.
Speaker 1: Here we go?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, man?
Speaker 1: All right, well now can we do some Sabrina ses please?
Speaker 3: Yes, spit ho ses. Oh man. I literally loved this movie.
Speaker 3: There was just good stuff everywhere. I wanted to just
Speaker 3: point out the pork Grinds. What a weird choice that
Speaker 3: was at a school cabin.
Speaker 1: Do you like pork grinds? Are you a pork crind fan?
Speaker 3: No? No, yuck, no want to They're at school cafeterias.
Speaker 3: You you really grazed over it. But during the the invite,
Speaker 3: to the Donut date. I swear I had to listen
Speaker 3: to it, and I didn't hear it right until the
Speaker 3: third time. I thought it said you like doing it, Sally.
Speaker 3: I didn't hear donuts. Twice twice I.
Speaker 1: Subtitles on no, no.
Speaker 3: I never do, but like you like doing it, Sally.
Speaker 3: Then I was like you what it was like you
Speaker 3: like donuts? I was like, okay, but it took me
Speaker 3: three many times. I was like, what is going on?
Speaker 2: That's great.
Speaker 3: Another thing we never really touched on during the episode
Speaker 3: is how good the music was in this movie. I've
Speaker 3: really loved it, and I loved it because it is
Speaker 3: one of our newer movies that we've done, so I mean,
Speaker 3: right from the start getting a Megan Trainer. However, I
Speaker 3: did feel like she had a like an accent. I
Speaker 3: don't know if I've just was hearing it differently. I know,
Speaker 3: you probably don't even really know the song changed, so
Speaker 3: it sounded so different in this in the movie that
Speaker 3: I thought, oh, I wonder if they used like a
Speaker 3: like a copy, like a not not the original, like
Speaker 3: a like a spoof of the song. But then I
Speaker 3: don't know, I just I loved the movie throughout all
Speaker 3: the music spots. I thought the songs were so good
Speaker 3: and it wasn't, you know, like a musical. It was
Speaker 3: just a good and that sounds like is reminiscent for
Speaker 3: me with movies like Brink and Johnny's Unami, And like
Speaker 3: why I at that time loved him because I loved
Speaker 3: the soundtracks as well. Sure, so I felt like it
Speaker 3: was really relevant. I thought this was the best sneak
Speaker 3: out moment we've seen in a d com. Him with
Speaker 3: that like cartoony, like such a jump cup thing, him
Speaker 3: going down was so funny, and I loved I loved Porter.
Speaker 3: I thought he was so good. And then two more,
Speaker 3: did you at all get distracted by the eleven fifteen
Speaker 3: mark and the clock that was obviously in the shot
Speaker 3: multiple times and said.
Speaker 1: Eleven We never even saw it? No, or said.
Speaker 3: Something forty five like it was not The clock is
Speaker 3: in the top corner of the frame and it does
Speaker 3: not say eleven fifteen, and they talk about it this
Speaker 3: it's the time they talk about trying to get back.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, no, I didn't know. I didn't see this
Speaker 1: at all.
Speaker 3: Show a close up of it that says eleven fifteen
Speaker 3: twice but when it's in the wide shot, it's there,
Speaker 3: the clock is there, and it is not eleven fifteen.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, you're going what what?
Speaker 1: I notice that.
Speaker 3: It distracted me so much. I literally stopped and paused
Speaker 3: and got close to my TV to make sure I
Speaker 3: wasn't saying the wrong things. Did it want to? But yeah,
Speaker 3: it doesn't say eleven fifteen? And then again I already
Speaker 3: gave my app my last one, which was why did
Speaker 3: the Dad's Boys changed so jah?
Speaker 1: Which I gotta go back and watch that. I gotta
Speaker 1: go back. I can't, I can't wait. Softer and higher
Speaker 1: and just as he was not being the coach anymore.
Speaker 3: I know, I get it, but it was such a
Speaker 3: drastic change it was a little jarring for me. Loved
Speaker 3: this movie.
Speaker 1: Let's rate it, Okay, here we go. Wow, you are
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you rate first. But how are we
Speaker 1: going to rate it as well? We know we're gonna
Speaker 1: go one out of ten? But this week are we
Speaker 1: gonna do one out of ten? Fashionista glam camps one
Speaker 1: out of ten, Pooh mustaches one out of ten, Skirts
Speaker 1: over jumpsuits one out of ten, text Bubble Ghostbuster Protons
Speaker 1: one out of ten Lincoln Park ripoffs, one out of
Speaker 1: ten Twin Brother farts, Coach Dad Sirs, maybe creps one
Speaker 1: out of ten Jack Bays, or one out of ten
Speaker 1: French viral memes. I'm gonna let you go first, which means.
Speaker 2: You get the pig. Yes, and I just want to hear.
Speaker 1: You say it, So we're doing one out of ten
Speaker 1: Pooh mustaches because I want to hear you say it.
Speaker 4: So uh rate it up, Sabrina, How would you rate that?
Speaker 3: Yn? I okay, again, I really liked it. I do
Speaker 3: agree on the way too many montages. I am also
Speaker 3: thankful because it didn't make the movie longer. I don't
Speaker 3: think there needed to be a minute tacked onto this movie.
Speaker 3: It was perfectly timed out. We could have left just
Speaker 3: to get on the nine minute mark, but I thought
Speaker 3: it was perfectly timed out. The pace was good. Montages
Speaker 3: were a little over, but it would have made the
Speaker 3: movie longer, which I wouldn't have loved. So it's kind
Speaker 3: of hard in that way. However, I wish I could
Speaker 3: even be a little bit more wish washy, but I'm
Speaker 3: gonna stick with the eight point five Wow mustashes. I
Speaker 3: would give it an eight point seventy five. It's not
Speaker 3: a nine, but I eight point five Pooh Mustaches.
Speaker 1: I just I'm so. I just wanted to hear you
Speaker 1: say it again. I think that's wonderful. You definitely like
Speaker 1: this movie more than I did. I absolutely liked this movie.
Speaker 1: I really did. It was enjoyable, it wasn't too long,
Speaker 1: the acting was great. I did have some problems with it, though.
Speaker 1: I thought the fundamental how they got into switching bodies
Speaker 1: was just lame.
Speaker 4: It might have been done better.
Speaker 2: As much as you do.
Speaker 4: But I get it.
Speaker 3: I get it with you.
Speaker 1: For sure need it. That needed a rewrite of how
Speaker 1: they got to switch bodies. There were way too many montages,
Speaker 1: and then the longer the filming on the clunky kind
Speaker 1: of got that.
Speaker 4: Being said, I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: I did enjoy it absolutely, and I'm gonna give this
Speaker 1: a solid seven point five po Mustaches, which I think
Speaker 1: is a fair way to start twenty twenty five. I
Speaker 1: did enjoy the movie. It needed a rewrite. It felt again,
Speaker 1: very montage heavy, but the acting was good. The emotional
Speaker 1: beats in the movie were great. It was the quiet
Speaker 1: moments of this film that really saved it. I thought
Speaker 1: the two of them playing each other did a wonderful job.
Speaker 3: I thought they did such a great job. The actors
Speaker 3: were wonderful.
Speaker 1: Well, hopefully we got a chance to speak with one
Speaker 1: or both of them. Who knows, because Cobra Kai's become
Speaker 1: so big that they probably don't want to come on
Speaker 1: our tiny little podcast. But thank you everybody so much
Speaker 1: for joining us on this amazing episode. And I frankly
Speaker 1: think a great start to twenty twenty five the Swap.
Speaker 1: You know, I wasn't expecting it, totally unexpected. Good movie,
Speaker 1: good way to start the year. But our next movie
Speaker 1: is a big one. Yes, we're taking it to two
Speaker 1: thousand and two, watching the mystery comedy starring someone who
Speaker 1: is currently making a big comeback right now, Lindsey Lohan.
Speaker 1: It's Get a Clue, and it is currently available on
Speaker 1: Disney Plus, so that is your way of getting ahead
Speaker 1: of the curve. But even bigger news. In my opinion,
Speaker 1: I think for this week's Parkopper episode, we've got an
Speaker 1: incredible guest. We spoke with the director behind the Zombies
Speaker 1: franchise and other d coms like Luck of the Irish
Speaker 1: Jump In and The Cheetah Girls One World. It is
Speaker 1: the incredible Paul Ho and I can't believe he talked
Speaker 1: about writing a d com just for me where I'm
