Speaker 2: So we went to Greece for a couple of days.
Speaker 3: We did Santorini, Mikonos, and then a couple of little
Speaker 3: small islands, and then.
Speaker 2: We hopped over to and did the Malfy Coast. What
Speaker 2: a dream. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: I will say I had no idea that in that
Speaker 3: area of Italy no canolis, and I died, Oh my god,
Speaker 3: I find a canoli for the life of me.
Speaker 2: We went to beautiful dinners. Ever, I could not I
Speaker 2: couldn't believe it. I was looking forward to them.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm gonna a million of these things while
Speaker 3: I'm gone, not one.
Speaker 2: It was. That was the only thing I could say that.
Speaker 3: Jordan and I both were like wow, because I think
Speaker 3: we just didn't know. If we had known, it had
Speaker 3: been like whatever.
Speaker 1: Right, you would have brought your own cannolis for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I gotta hit up by my friend who
Speaker 3: makes amazing cannolis, and I just got to have her
Speaker 3: make me sound great.
Speaker 2: How about you?
Speaker 1: We had a blast, we did.
Speaker 4: We love London and we spent our first four days
Speaker 4: in London, and then we took a train up to Edinburgh, Scotland,
Speaker 4: and we were there for three days. Then we rented
Speaker 4: a car and drove back to the Cotswolds, which is
Speaker 4: like an hour and a half outside of London, and okay,
Speaker 4: it's just the English countryside.
Speaker 1: And since we had the car, we got to do
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 4: We drove to Stonehenge, we went to all these cool
Speaker 4: restaurants and just it was magical. And then we got
Speaker 4: back in the car and went back to London for
Speaker 4: two days. My wife does a half day of shopping
Speaker 4: and I go to my Tower of London and take
Speaker 4: my history oracle tours.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we did.
Speaker 4: We had an absolute blastic Other than one little driving
Speaker 4: let's call it faux paw, everything went very very well.
Speaker 3: Do you guys have a favorite restaurant? You said you
Speaker 3: love legend, so you guys go there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, our favorite.
Speaker 4: Our favorite restaurant is an Indian place called jim Kanaka,
Speaker 4: which is which is it's a one or two Michelin Star.
Speaker 4: And there's time. So when we find out when we
Speaker 4: figure out when we're going to London and be like Oh,
Speaker 4: we're gonna go to London in four months. We'll call
Speaker 4: immediately book a table. It is the best chicken tika
Speaker 4: and best butter chicken ever in the history of the world.
Speaker 1: If you like Indian food, it is just magical.
Speaker 4: So that we got we had that our first night there,
Speaker 4: and every single meal after, which was great, just paled
Speaker 4: in comparison.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's what I will say.
Speaker 3: I love the food everywhere we travel is like a
Speaker 3: big thing for Georgians and I he does so much
Speaker 3: re urch into restaurants and things like that. The Italian
Speaker 3: food options that we had. One of the best meals
Speaker 3: is we did like a six course thing out of
Speaker 3: a pizza rhea, So we did different kinds of.
Speaker 2: Pizzas well, a fried one.
Speaker 3: It almost looked like a doughnut with pasta sauce and
Speaker 3: just freshly shaved cheese. Oh was so great. It was
Speaker 3: like the weirdest looking They were going, what is that?
Speaker 3: So we did we did six course.
Speaker 2: And it had wine pairing with each of it. That
Speaker 2: was amazing.
Speaker 3: Then we went and did like a mom and pop
Speaker 3: family owned restaurant, which was another six course thing. We
Speaker 3: didn't know what was gonna happen, and that one the
Speaker 3: last course you're on, Course six ends up being a
Speaker 3: plate full of just different kinds of meats, heavy meats,
Speaker 3: and you're going.
Speaker 2: There's no way, this is not this is it. I'm out.

Speaker 3: I'm pretty good about I'll try things, you know, I can.
Speaker 3: I can get through, especially when it's like a really
Speaker 3: cool restaurant and stuff.
Speaker 2: But I've tried rabbit. Now. That's the thing. If I

Speaker 1: Boy, do we do.
Speaker 4: We have one for you today? This is gonna be
Speaker 4: a tough one.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be because here's why it's gonna be tough
Speaker 1: for me, Because I love everyone in the movie. Everyone
Speaker 1: in the movie is great. Dcom Royalty one and all.
Speaker 4: I agree, but this one, as this is the joke
Speaker 4: you and I have been saying back and forth, and
Speaker 4: I'm sure we're gonna say this an awful lot today.
Speaker 1: This one was say it with Me Rough, Yes, it was.
Speaker 4: So protect your prize collection of first edition gotham Man
Speaker 4: comic books because it's team to review the two thousand
Speaker 4: and five d COM where the D stands for dog.
Speaker 1: Life is Rough.
Speaker 4: It first aired on July fifteenth, two thousand and five.
Speaker 4: Life Is Rough is another animal focused entry into the
Speaker 4: DCOM library. A common theme scene in these movies and
Speaker 4: also pretty common for the Channel. Let's be honest, let
Speaker 4: us never forget the dog with blog another thing this
Speaker 4: movie had in common with the Disney Channel. Many of
Speaker 4: its stars. As we just talked about, we're gonna break
Speaker 4: those down in a minute, of course, also keeping it
Speaker 4: straight up d com. It is of course filmed in Utuah,
Speaker 4: which our listeners should have figured out when they saw
Speaker 4: former Utah Film Association president Don Shane credited as the producer.
Speaker 4: And if you are a fan of the show, then
Speaker 4: of course you're looking for Don's name. Absolutely, you're like, oh,
Speaker 4: Don Jane.
Speaker 1: There we go.
Speaker 2: Filled with knowledge. Now, everyone filled with d com knowledge.
Speaker 4: It makes you the life of a very specific type
Speaker 4: of party. This movie steals some of its plot from
Speaker 4: the classic Disney animated film Oliver and Company and has
Speaker 4: one of the most confusing soundtracks we've encountered to this point.
Speaker 4: But this movie also got me wondering, Sabrina, what is
Speaker 4: the biggest Because we're gonna we're gonna fill this podcast
Speaker 4: today with fun animal.
Speaker 1: Facts of our own.
Speaker 2: Let's do it.
Speaker 1: Yes, what is the biggest dog you've ever had in
Speaker 1: your life? And have you had a dog?
Speaker 2: I guess I should ask, Yes, I've had.
Speaker 3: I'm on my third dog. The first dog I had
Speaker 3: we've actually talked about him before. His name was Bannit
Speaker 3: and he was that beautiful Golden Retriever that I had.
Speaker 2: And he was the biggest one.
Speaker 3: I would say I'm not good at weights with dogs
Speaker 3: that size, but I would say it was like seventy
Speaker 3: eighty pounds.
Speaker 2: He's a big he's a big, a good sized guy. Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then my little guy Rocky was all of I
Speaker 3: think his biggest.
Speaker 2: He was eight and a half okay. Towards the later
Speaker 2: years in life, well, rock was about six. Oh.
Speaker 3: And then I got my big Bertha Emily over here
Speaker 3: now because Ledger won't stop feeding her. Ya. That is
Speaker 3: high chair and he just throws it off and she
Speaker 3: is very nice and cushiony right now. And she's fourteen pounds.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: My dog Sammy sits next to me because while I
Speaker 4: don't have a high chair, I still like I do.
Speaker 4: So yes, my first dog, because I wasn't a dog
Speaker 4: person until later in life. A dog came with my
Speaker 4: wife and I was like, I'm not sure I like
Speaker 4: this and then became my ultimate best friend.
Speaker 2: It was Jordan, for sure.
Speaker 4: So that's Dash Dash. We lost Dash a while ago.
Speaker 4: He was a Vishla, but he was a big visul.
Speaker 4: He was about eighty pounds eighty five okay, which for
Speaker 4: a Vishla is very very big. And then my girl
Speaker 4: Sammy right now is about fifty five. But she's a little, uh,
Speaker 4: you know, kind of self conscious about it, so we
Speaker 4: don't bring it up.
Speaker 1: She's still carrying some holiday weight, that's how we look
Speaker 1: at it. She's fine. She was the one that was
Speaker 1: trained by the prisoners.
Speaker 4: Yes, she was trained by the prisoners in the in
Speaker 4: the oh oh yeah, California penal system.
Speaker 1: Ye.
Speaker 2: Yes. Do you know what Breech she is.
Speaker 1: She's a straight up mutt. She is a total mutt.
Speaker 4: But she's I think mostly we think cattled. Okay, she's
Speaker 4: beautiful girl. And we'll put up pictures of our dogs
Speaker 4: because we should just talk about it. Let's just do
Speaker 4: an hour of talking about our dogs.
Speaker 1: Let's just do that. We can't. We can't.
Speaker 4: So Life Is Rough, of course, is available to stream
Speaker 4: right now on Disney Plus. You can watch it before
Speaker 4: you listen to us or after. Just don't do it
Speaker 4: right before you go to bed, or you're gonna have
Speaker 4: nightmares about dogs.
Speaker 1: Trust me. I know this first, as we always asked, Sabrina,
Speaker 1: what did you know about Life Is Rough? Before it
Speaker 1: became an episode of our pod cast?
Speaker 2: I just did.
Speaker 1: Our pod cast, Thank you very much.
Speaker 4: I will show myself out, what did you know about Rina?
Speaker 2: I did not know anything about it.
Speaker 3: I found out that are who are who are doing
Speaker 3: an interview with was a part of it because of
Speaker 3: the scheduling that we have for the podcast, and then
Speaker 3: found out that Mitchell Musso was also in it. When
Speaker 3: I started the movie and I saw the first credits,
Speaker 3: I go oh, and then of course that's it.
Speaker 2: Really okay.
Speaker 3: I obviously knew it was going to be about a dog.
Speaker 3: We both said going into this, if these dogs don't talk,
Speaker 3: we're both out.
Speaker 2: We're not even going to watch it.
Speaker 1: And dogs didn't talk.
Speaker 3: The dogs didn't talk, but this made way more sense
Speaker 3: for them to make it.
Speaker 1: It is this, this, this.
Speaker 3: Hundred human talking to a dog who was saying anything back.
Speaker 3: This didn't It didn't bother me like it would have
Speaker 3: had Kyle Massey been trying to talk to this dog.
Speaker 2: And and.
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly no, I would have agreed.
Speaker 3: I would have absolutely just called and said, you know what,
Speaker 3: you've pushed it too far.
Speaker 1: T yep. Instead of d com, it's DBS, that's right,
Speaker 1: that's just Disney at this point, which, of course no,
Speaker 1: they did. No, it didn't bump me at all, and
Speaker 1: of course, I'd never you know.
Speaker 4: The funny thing is, I feel like in all of
Speaker 4: the podcasts we've been doing recently, we always end by saying,
Speaker 4: and next week we're gonna let We're gonna watch life
Speaker 4: is rough. I feel like we said that nine times.
Speaker 4: I've heard of the movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but no I ever heard of this movie.
Speaker 4: So let us uh, before you ignore just the one
Speaker 4: dog left in the box of free puppies, don't get
Speaker 4: me started. Let's hop into the synopsis. A teenage slacker
Speaker 4: adopts a stray dog as part of a plan to
Speaker 4: win a large cash prize at an upcoming competition.
Speaker 1: Early thought, Sabriena, what'd you think of the movie?
Speaker 3: Well, I was excited. Kyle and Mitchell, I'm thinking, how
Speaker 3: can you go wrong? Too? Ever, hilarious hilarious kids from
Speaker 3: the Channel, both in real life and through their acting.
Speaker 2: I love both of those.
Speaker 3: Guys, So I'm thinking I've got high hopes right from
Speaker 3: the start. You put a bunch of puppies in a box.
Speaker 1: In the pouring rain, and the rain and.
Speaker 2: At a grocery store owner gives zero zero care about
Speaker 2: these dogs that are.
Speaker 1: Like shutting off the lights.
Speaker 2: Shutting the lights off. It was kind of going, oh,
Speaker 2: we're going dark here A little.
Speaker 3: Gave me kind of Lady in the Tramp vibes as
Speaker 3: we start getting in the beginning. So I'm kind of going, okay.
Speaker 4: Thatat Lady in the Tramp and one hundred and one
Speaker 4: Dalmatians the one thing nobody talks about in one hundred
Speaker 4: and one Dalmatians, it would have been.
Speaker 1: A beautiful coat. So here's the thing. Uh, here's the thing.
Speaker 4: And I'm sure that this changes state to state, place
Speaker 4: to place.
Speaker 1: Where it happens. I'm sure this is possible.
Speaker 4: When we went to go adopt our dog, we went
Speaker 4: through a rigorous adoption process. Oh really, Oh yeah, ok,
Speaker 4: box of puppies you just don't really see too much anymore.
Speaker 1: And I know what happens. It was more with kittens.
Speaker 4: Than dogs, right, you see, like box of kittens or whatever.
Speaker 4: But that starting with that and then not picking the
Speaker 4: one really cute dog and leaving them in the pouring rain.
Speaker 1: It left it did. It left kind of a bad
Speaker 1: taste in my mouth.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, and instantly I'm going, oh, here's my first Sabrita Seas.
Speaker 3: There's clearly only like three dogs hired for this box.
Speaker 1: That's supposed to sixty two dogs.
Speaker 3: Three dogs hired for this box of eight dogs. You
Speaker 3: could just tell it's the same dogs that are getting pulled,
Speaker 3: you know. It was just kind of it. Every time
Speaker 3: they looked in it was supposed to look like there
Speaker 3: was more dogs because they kept coming out, but the
Speaker 3: box looked empty. Every time they were doing that overshot.
Speaker 4: It was not there were full of dogs. So yeah,
Speaker 4: this was I'm not gonna lie. This was a tough
Speaker 4: one for me to get through. Yeah, but anyway, life
Speaker 4: is rough as directed by Charles had a season TV
Speaker 4: director with Emmy nominations for Hill Street Blues, NYPD Blue
Speaker 4: and Murder Won.
Speaker 1: Three Great Shows, but this was his only dcom.
Speaker 4: Hayde was also an accomplished actor, appearing in episodes of
Speaker 4: gun Smoke, BJ and the Bear and Third Watch Again
Speaker 4: three Awesome Shows. He was also surprisingly one of the
Speaker 4: stars in the cult classic horror movie from Ken Russell
Speaker 4: written by Patty Chayevsky, Altered States, and is in the
Speaker 4: nineteen eighty Clive Barker scare fest Night Breed, which is
Speaker 4: of course very.
Speaker 1: Far from Disney Channel stuff. The movie stars.
Speaker 4: As we were talking about Disney regular Kyle Massey as
Speaker 4: Calvin's best known as Corey Baxter in That's So Raven,
Speaker 4: a role he would later spin off into another Channel favorite,
Speaker 4: Corey in the House. The channel's first ever spinoff, by
Speaker 4: the way, was Corey in the House, So you know,
Speaker 4: they obviously thought quite a bit of this young actor
Speaker 4: to not only put him on That's So Raven, but
Speaker 4: to give.
Speaker 1: Them the first ever spin off.
Speaker 4: Kyle is also a rapper who was signed to Disney
Speaker 4: and Hollywood Records and was the runner up. Seems to
Speaker 4: be a theme on our show runner Up on season
Speaker 4: eleven of Dancing with the Stars, and a little bit
Speaker 4: of trivia here. His brother Christopher played Michael Barrett on
Speaker 4: Nick's Zoey one oh one for over three years. Sabrina,
Speaker 4: you and Kyle are friends, right? You guys know each
Speaker 4: other for a while.
Speaker 2: Yes. Absolutely.
Speaker 3: It started off just seeing each other as we were
Speaker 3: doing different Disney Channel or Disney premieres like Red Carpet,
Speaker 3: you know, things are promotional stuff for the channel.
Speaker 2: He was on the Yellow team for our distey, so
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about that, okay, And.
Speaker 3: Then he did Dancing with the Stars after I did
Speaker 3: with My Girl Lacey Swimmer, and then the two.
Speaker 2: Of us actually or well all three of.
Speaker 3: Us ended up being on that Vegas show that Live
Speaker 3: in Las Vegas. He was up there doing that, and
Speaker 3: then I think that's the last last time we worked together.
Speaker 3: But you know, to see him her for a while.
Speaker 3: Anytime it was out in Hollywood, he was out. He's
Speaker 3: a fun guy.
Speaker 2: I love him. He's got a great family. His brother's
Speaker 2: very sweet, his mom is amazing.
Speaker 3: Shout out angel, love you girl, and yeah, I love,
Speaker 3: love love Kyle, and I think he is beyond talented.
Speaker 2: He's so he was.
Speaker 3: The way he is on TV is just very much
Speaker 3: the way he is in person. Like just this like
Speaker 3: bubbly cracking up.
Speaker 1: He was trying.
Speaker 4: He was trying in this movie. He really really was
Speaker 4: what they gave him. He was trying to find the funny.
Speaker 4: I give him so much credit for that. But as
Speaker 4: of course, then there's another DID mainstay, Mitchell Musso, who
Speaker 4: played Calvin's bestie Raymond fig Musso is also a musician
Speaker 4: in the Disney family and appeared in the two thousand
Speaker 4: and nine d com dcom's special to Our Hearts and
Speaker 4: No One's.
Speaker 1: Ever Gonna Hear It but Sabrina and I love it.
Speaker 4: Hatching Pete but as best Known at which which of
Speaker 4: course also stars are our favorite decom actor of all time.
Speaker 1: We won't say his name because we're not worthy of it.
Speaker 4: But that's We're just going to keep elevating him as
Speaker 4: we should. He's best known as Oliver and Hannah Montana
Speaker 4: the TV show and the film and Brady on Pair
Speaker 4: of kings Worth.
Speaker 1: Noting too.
Speaker 4: Musso is also the voice of Jeremy on Phineas and
Speaker 4: Ferb and DJ in the animated spooky movie Monster House
Speaker 4: and now Sound the Alarm, Everybody, we have yet again
Speaker 4: a pana Baker.
Speaker 1: Kay. We got to have some kind of Panabaker horny Cannibaker. Kay.
Speaker 1: That's how you do it. We just have to sing it,
Speaker 1: so Kay.
Speaker 4: Panabaker plays Emily Watson, and you should remember her because
Speaker 4: we just talked about her on Read It and Weep.
Speaker 4: That plays the best selling author writing about the dream
Speaker 4: life of her alter ego, which of course was played
Speaker 4: by her sister in real life, Danielle. Also Kay has
Speaker 4: been on TV shows like Summerline, The Sweet Life of
Speaker 4: Zack and Cody, and Phil of the Future, and of
Speaker 4: course as I've said is a doppelganger for Larissa Olnek
Speaker 4: and is in the two thousand and seven Nancy movie.
Speaker 1: And for those who care, the role of Tycho the
Speaker 1: dog was played by a dog and that dog's name
Speaker 1: was Jed.
Speaker 4: Have you ever worked with a dog or any We've
Speaker 4: talked about animal working like it's different.
Speaker 1: You ever do a dog thing?
Speaker 2: Cheetah girls, you saw it, you had an issue with
Speaker 2: the dog that was?
Speaker 4: I know, but other than the dog that was that
Speaker 4: stupidly jumped into the hole, anything else, I.
Speaker 2: Don't think so.
Speaker 3: I've not dogs, elephants, camel okay, but I think that's it.
Speaker 2: I don't think I have. You had much work with dogs?
Speaker 4: A ton really to work with dog like like weird things. So,
Speaker 4: starting back when I started my career, the first television
Speaker 4: show I was on was eleven years old. It was
Speaker 4: a show called Nick Don't just sit there on Nickelodeon,
Speaker 4: and we were like a kid Saturday Night Live. But
Speaker 4: we would interview special guests, so all these famous people
Speaker 4: will come on. And the movie with Tom Hanks just
Speaker 4: came out, Turner and Hooch okay, and so there's a
Speaker 4: huge dog in Turner and Hooch, and there's this famous
Speaker 4: scene where Tom Hanks is lying on the ground and
Speaker 4: the dog has his mouth over Tom Hanks's throat, so
Speaker 4: they recreated that with me when I was eleven, with
Speaker 4: the actual dog the ooch came on and I'm lying
Speaker 4: on the ground and he's got his giant mouth over
Speaker 4: my throat, which no, But thinking back, I'm like, what, wow,
Speaker 4: I should have been.
Speaker 1: I've worked with the.
Speaker 4: Monkey from Friends, I've worked with we had huge Saint
Speaker 4: Bernards on Boymet's World.
Speaker 1: I've worked with two different bears. Yeah. No, I've worked
Speaker 1: with a lot of animals. This movie runs eighty four minutes,
Speaker 1: which was below the target, and I gotta be honest.
Speaker 4: That was absolutely fine for me. Not ideal of chorus
Speaker 4: because in the real world, ideal is ninety, but it
Speaker 4: really was fine. Life Is Rough was written by Eddie
Speaker 4: Gusellian I hope I'm saying his name properly, and accomplished
Speaker 4: writer for animated projects like Buzz Lightyear of Star Command,
Speaker 4: which the TV show they did, Leelo and Stitch, to
Speaker 4: the Penguins of Madagascar, and two episodes of one of
Speaker 4: the greatest animated shows of all time, Kim Possepa Bill Yah. Now,
Speaker 4: he did work on some of live action shows as well,
Speaker 4: like Neds, de Classified and Unfabulous, but it's still a
Speaker 4: little shocking to see he'd go on to write for
Speaker 4: The Walking Dead.
Speaker 1: Not quite the same as Life as Rough or Kim Possible,
Speaker 1: a bit different Walking Dead.
Speaker 4: Now we're coming into more of your area of expertise,
Speaker 4: but even I noticed this.
Speaker 1: Let's get a little bit into the soundtrack, Sabrina, do
Speaker 1: you have any feelings about the music in this movie?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 1: Wow, wow.
Speaker 3: I with the exception of I did think Kyle's song
Speaker 3: that came.
Speaker 1: On the very end over the credits.
Speaker 3: Over the credits was so cute and with that perfect
Speaker 3: for this movie. I just was trying to figure this
Speaker 3: is the first time. I mean, it doesn't always hit
Speaker 3: completely on the mark all the way throughout the movie,
Speaker 3: but I would say this one was the first.
Speaker 2: What happened?
Speaker 1: Every song was bad?
Speaker 2: This was two thousand and five.
Speaker 3: They have geared up already, many many talented people within
Speaker 3: their wheelhouse. Oh why aren't they using them in this movie?
Speaker 3: Why isn't the movie better? They regardless of having the
Speaker 3: talent from the shows, They've got a giant group of
Speaker 3: producers that are are even on wanting to work with
Speaker 3: the Channel and two and five huge amount like everyone's seeing,
Speaker 3: oh you can make money if you get a good
Speaker 3: movie going and you get just one song. So they've
Speaker 3: had a lot of connections. I just don't know where
Speaker 3: that money went. When it was coming towards this soundtrack,
Speaker 3: it was.
Speaker 4: It was odd Dog one where it's like, okay, does
Speaker 4: every song have to be weirdly dog related with weird
Speaker 4: voices on it?
Speaker 3: And it was then some of the background stuff that
Speaker 3: did have like wasn't an actual song.
Speaker 1: Even the composing was really strange.
Speaker 2: It was I I was.
Speaker 3: It was throwing me off because I agreed, I just
Speaker 3: don't expect that from Disney Channel at this point anymore.
Speaker 3: Like agree, that's and it's I mean, obviously we're professionals
Speaker 3: here as we break down each of these movies now right.
Speaker 4: Right, No, what I mean even seriously, go way back,
Speaker 4: go to go to even like Brink Yes Surreal, which
Speaker 4: is what in mid nineties, and that's got some real
Speaker 4: cool ska sounds, It's got some great songs, and then
Speaker 4: you get this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: That was what was really hard for me is going
Speaker 3: there's just there's it's not like you don't know.
Speaker 2: It's not like you guys can't do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you figured it out already.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you figure And I agree. I could not agree
Speaker 4: with you more. Kyle Massey's song at the end worked perfectly.
Speaker 2: Oh, I loved it and it was great. Yes, because
Speaker 2: I kept going, why haven't they is Kyle once? So far?
Speaker 3: I mean, if there is a song that I didn't catch, sorry,
Speaker 3: but I didn't think there was any songs that were
Speaker 3: Kyle until the very end credit.
Speaker 2: And we have one of.
Speaker 3: Our producers saying I had to mute the TV at
Speaker 3: one point because the song was annoying me so bad.
Speaker 1: It's bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was weird.
Speaker 3: It was weird that it was because Disney knows how
Speaker 3: to do this.
Speaker 2: So anyway, that's my tangent of that.
Speaker 4: So anyway, it is, as we were saying, it's worth
Speaker 4: pointing out that Kyle raps the closing credit song I'm
Speaker 4: a Dog, which is not the best song ever, but
Speaker 4: it is so much better than a lot of the
Speaker 4: other songs. And again it's and it's dog related and
Speaker 4: over the credits. Fine, that's a fun way to end it.
Speaker 4: Dog movie rap over the credits with your lead actor.
Speaker 4: Don't have a problem with that at all. It's the
Speaker 4: eleventeen before that, or it was like, oh well anyway,
Speaker 4: it was very distracting. Also worth noting before we recap
Speaker 4: in our past rewatches who had been the stupidest.
Speaker 1: Parent or parents we've ever encountered.
Speaker 4: Maybe luck of the Irish, but they were more just
Speaker 4: like you're Irish and I don't know, we've had some
Speaker 4: kind of dumb parents motocrossed.
Speaker 1: He wasn't dumb, he was just in his asshole.
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, yeah, woof.
Speaker 1: Point they were supposed to get dumb.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but let's keep that in mind the rankings as
Speaker 4: we get further into this.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Quint's was there.
Speaker 1: I mean they were overwhelmed so but yeah, they were
Speaker 1: kind of dumb. But yeah, this is okay. This just
Speaker 1: keep that in mind. So it's time to get off
Speaker 1: the leash and into life is rough.
Speaker 4: The movie opens up with a close up on a
Speaker 4: free puppies sign. It's written on a box outside of
Speaker 4: a market. The box is filled with an impossible number
Speaker 4: of puppies, like the way clowns fit into cars, and
Speaker 4: that's how many dogs are in the small box.
Speaker 1: Now, we talked about this in the beginning. Have you
Speaker 1: ever seen a free puppy box? Because I haven't.
Speaker 2: No, No, I've seen free so do not kittens. Maybe
Speaker 2: a parent would say yes as quick as these parents did.
Speaker 4: But do you mean the forty two kids and parents
Speaker 4: are like, sure, grab a puppy on the way out
Speaker 4: of the grocery store.
Speaker 2: No, that's not how that works at all, Not in the.
Speaker 4: World, not in any world does that work where there's
Speaker 4: just fourteen parents walking by going yeah, sure, billy.
Speaker 1: Grab it.
Speaker 4: You heard one voice over literally as the kids walking away,
Speaker 4: you heard the parent go, well, you.
Speaker 1: Know you're gonna have to take care of them, right,
Speaker 1: That was it, And it was like, okay, oh wow,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Also, why the supermarket wouldn't intervene.
Speaker 4: We're supposed to think someone in the store just left
Speaker 4: the box outside on supervised Yeah. Anyway, Yeah, the lettuce
Speaker 4: was advertised for two for a dollar.
Speaker 1: But the dog's it is what it is.
Speaker 4: One by one, the black puppies are taken from the box,
Speaker 4: with very little consideration that these strangers are actually taking
Speaker 4: home a living animal, completely unvetted. But left behind is
Speaker 4: one tan dog whimpering at its predicament. Oh so sad
Speaker 4: and told by one child, good luck, little guy. And
Speaker 4: as things couldn't get any worse, the market closes. Guy
Speaker 4: shuts off all the light, leaving the box dog in.
Speaker 1: The pouring rain.
Speaker 4: So knowing he screwed the dog out of the box
Speaker 4: and runs off into the storm. So sad, and I
Speaker 4: was also like this movie better get better quick, because
Speaker 4: so far I hate it.
Speaker 1: Why would they do that to this poor dog? How
Speaker 1: there are your people?
Speaker 4: We now cut to one year later, and the tan
Speaker 4: dog is huge and he is very dirty. He's unsuccessfully
Speaker 4: begging for scraps outside of a restaurant and dives into
Speaker 4: a dumpster looking for anything. He finally discovers a large
Speaker 4: rib bone and offers it to his friend, another scrappy.
Speaker 1: Looking stray, to show that he likes to share. And
Speaker 1: that's when animal control arrives.
Speaker 4: When the dog catchers attempt to wrangle our tanboy, he
Speaker 4: takes off, sending the city workers on a wild goose
Speaker 4: chase for the ages. I'd also like to point out
Speaker 4: before we get to the fact that they are going
Speaker 4: in right to a farmer's market, where all hell breaks loose.
Speaker 1: They somehow have sixty two.
Speaker 4: Members of the you know, dog catching team there instantly
Speaker 4: to catch this one dog. Yes, it was like, okay,
Speaker 4: I guess that's a big department there right at the ages.
Speaker 4: So they get into the local farmers market i've seen
Speaker 4: coming up. Really let you know what you're going to
Speaker 4: be in for as far as life is rough as concerned,
Speaker 4: That's all I have to say. So he's juking left
Speaker 4: and right and forces one dog captured a crash into
Speaker 4: a table of books something and apparently didn't really happen
Speaker 4: because when they pull out, they reveal a perfectly set
Speaker 4: up book vendor still there. The dog then tramples through
Speaker 4: some tied iy kites, knocking over a trash can and
Speaker 4: exciting an old lady sitting near it. The dog catchers
Speaker 4: dive onto fruit, crash into wind chimes, and most importantly.
Speaker 1: Plow through paint cans of honey.
Speaker 4: Creating total chaos in the streets. Do you remember the
Speaker 4: first time you ate honey out of a paint can?
Speaker 1: Can you talk about that a little bit? What was
Speaker 1: your first paint can honey experience? Like sprat?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think it was a dream that
Speaker 2: I was witty the Boo.
Speaker 1: Oh bo. The dog snatches some hot lengths.
Speaker 4: From a cart and hides in a clothing rack, emerging
Speaker 4: in a perfect ensemble a two tu of blouse and
Speaker 4: a spinner hat, And just as everything is destroyed, the
Speaker 4: canon is finally distracted by a young girl in her
Speaker 4: large lollipop, and in the end he is peacefully caught
Speaker 4: by the dog catchers, one of the nine hundred and
Speaker 4: twenty that were on all that day. We then find
Speaker 4: ourselves where we tend to find ourselves a lot of
Speaker 4: times in Dcom's in the bedroom of our lead person.
Speaker 4: This is a young boy. In this case it's Calvin,
Speaker 4: getting ready for school. His room is decorated with comic
Speaker 4: book illustrations and ten frames for writer Stuart Bickford's gotham
Speaker 4: Man comic books, and only two spots remain empty, number
Speaker 4: one and number two. We see his parents in the kitchen.
Speaker 4: Just as Calvin's flip phone rings, his dad reminds him
Speaker 4: it is trash day.
Speaker 1: Still on a flip phone, Please send one to me.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Apple. Make a flip phone, Make a flip phone,
Speaker 1: Make a flip phone. I'm just gonna keep saying that.
Speaker 4: But Calvin hops onto his skateboard without a worry in
Speaker 4: the world, and that's because we see two of Calvin's
Speaker 4: friends wheeling in the trash cans thanking him for their
Speaker 4: mud Bucket tickets. I initially thought that we'd heard the
Speaker 4: name mud Bucket before.
Speaker 1: There was a band called mud Bucket. What am I
Speaker 1: thinking of?
Speaker 2: Fuzz?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: But there was? But what was the band? There was
Speaker 1: also a band in another movie that we saw, mud
Speaker 1: Slide Crush.
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you.
Speaker 1: Producer, Lisa. I knew there was Fuzzbucket.
Speaker 2: Of course, I was like, did he just.
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 4: They made it just in time to intercept Calvin's mad dad.
Speaker 4: It appears that this kid's got everything covered in an
Speaker 4: awful lot of connections.
Speaker 1: Calvin eventually skates into the school.
Speaker 4: They're showing that he can't skateboard a little bit, and
Speaker 4: he's going to Bedford Junior High.
Speaker 1: Again.
Speaker 4: We're back to young young kids, but at least for
Speaker 4: this part it worked. He meets up with his best
Speaker 4: friend slash assistant Fig and that's his His pal informs
Speaker 4: Calvin that he's a pop quiz. This, by the way,
Speaker 4: is Mitchell Musso, who at the time perfect age for
Speaker 4: middle school.
Speaker 1: It looked greats not a problem at all.
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe how little he looks.
Speaker 1: He was so little.
Speaker 3: I did not know him that young. I would oh man,
Speaker 3: I was just like oh baby.
Speaker 2: Made said he was a baby.
Speaker 1: He really was.
Speaker 4: So he informs Calvin that he has a pop quiz,
Speaker 4: report cards have been mailed out, and he's in need
Speaker 4: of a date for an upcoming dance, which throws us
Speaker 4: right into the cafeteria where Calvin and fig are interviewing
Speaker 4: a handful.
Speaker 1: Of possible dates at lunch. Yikes.
Speaker 4: So a cheerleader named Julie checks all the boxes and
Speaker 4: she is really pushing for Calvin to take her, but
Speaker 4: Calvin needs to know one thing from her first.
Speaker 1: Who is gotham Man's arch nemesis.
Speaker 4: She stumbles and guesses Charlie. Calvin is, of course disappointed.
Speaker 4: Another girl watches on from afar, wincing at the answer.
Speaker 4: Julie is dismissed, because we all know girls must know
Speaker 4: everything about comic books to be worth anything in life whatsoever.
Speaker 4: Why this girl was auditioning to become Calvi? Okay, yeah,
Speaker 4: The onlerker Emily walks up with flyers for her local
Speaker 4: animal shelter. Charlie takes one, but flips it over, only
Speaker 4: to use it as a note for fig about what
Speaker 4: comics he needs to pick up. This disgust Emily, who
Speaker 4: as she's says the question was a trick anyway, gotham
Speaker 4: Man's arch enemy has no name. Uh oh, a girl
Speaker 4: that knows about comic books. That's impossible, people, how could
Speaker 4: that happen?
Speaker 1: No way.
Speaker 4: We are now at the dog shelter, though, and volunteer
Speaker 4: Emily finds Tycho, the dog from the box and the
Speaker 4: huge honey paint can chase. That happened a while ago.
Speaker 4: We don't know how long this is. We figure it's
Speaker 4: right after they caught him, kind of thing. She tells
Speaker 4: the shelter manager, mister Dudley, that she just needs a
Speaker 4: little more time to find him a home. The dog
Speaker 4: is inline to be euthanized and she wants to save him.
Speaker 4: Tycho doesn't help his case, however, when he bites off
Speaker 4: a piece of Dudley's shirt. Maybe Tycho has some issues
Speaker 4: that yeah to work on. But we are now at
Speaker 4: the local comic book shop. Calvin stares through the window
Speaker 4: at the number one issue of Gotham Man. It is
Speaker 4: his dream purchase. Hey as somebody who loves this kind
Speaker 4: of stuff, having a Batman number one or Superman number
Speaker 4: one PMAs, but they're millions. Then a Bronco pulls up
Speaker 4: blasting a song that sounds just enough like into club by.
Speaker 1: Fifty cent where they can't actually get sued.
Speaker 4: The three Bigger kids This is where I started to go, Wait, mu.
Speaker 1: Huh, the three Bigger kids need to talk to Calvin.
Speaker 4: Eventually landing in one of the guys mom's beauty shops
Speaker 4: surrounded by old ladies, Calvin has told that tonight is
Speaker 4: the last game of the middle school basketball season.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I thought they were in high school.
Speaker 1: I thought they were in high school.
Speaker 2: Two are in high school.
Speaker 4: They were driving and b they looked like they were
Speaker 4: in their twenties. Yeah, so were they supposed to be
Speaker 4: part of the scenes.
Speaker 2: No, I feel like they just know him.
Speaker 3: He was like this kid that they know he has
Speaker 3: connections and can get certain things done.
Speaker 1: So the high school kids went to the middle school kid.
Speaker 2: Uh huh, that's what it was. It had to have been.
Speaker 4: It had to have been right, because it doesn't make
Speaker 4: any sense any any other words.
Speaker 3: A junior high, big scoring high like basketball game that people, No, I.
Speaker 4: Can't see that, I don't Anyway, there it turns out
Speaker 4: that the rival school to this school, Westlake, got their
Speaker 4: playbook and they need Calvin's help. We don't know why,
Speaker 4: they just need Calvin's help. Luckily, Calvin has an idea,
Speaker 4: of course, for a price. So now back at the
Speaker 4: comic book shop and little figures scared. How are they
Speaker 4: going to pull this off for the team, But don't worry,
Speaker 4: Calvin's got it covered. He wants to make a trade
Speaker 4: with someone named Simon Gimbel. The Gimps love the name Gimbs.
Speaker 4: He is Westlake's basketball team's equipment manager. They call Simon
Speaker 4: at a local pizza shop on a rainbow blinking phone
Speaker 4: hidden in a napkin dispenser and perform the handoff, trading
Speaker 4: the Westlake playbook for the shiny new cell phone, which
Speaker 4: Calvin says doesn't even come out.
Speaker 1: In the US for a year. So how does Calvin
Speaker 1: have these hookups?
Speaker 4: He's getting concert tickets, unreleased phones, y like, who is
Speaker 4: this kid?
Speaker 2: Yes? Exactly.
Speaker 3: At this point, you're just thinking, Okay, it's gonna come around.
Speaker 3: They're gonna tell.
Speaker 2: Us how he's gotten Yes, we've already at this point
Speaker 2: met his parents.
Speaker 3: It doesn't look like they would be the source of
Speaker 3: any of this, Like, he doesn't have some cool dad
Speaker 3: that's gone.
Speaker 1: Older brother or friends with the local weed dealer.
Speaker 2: Like nothing, no ups with the weed dealer.
Speaker 1: Right, material helped me in middle school. I'm kidding, of course.
Speaker 1: Now there we're at the packed big game.
Speaker 4: It's warm ups and a pompous, nerdy student named Preston
Speaker 4: Price is announced alongside his dog Jacques to inspire the teams.
Speaker 4: Preston performs throwing a frisbee and his dog recovers it.
Speaker 4: It's not super impressive, but Preston thinks that it is
Speaker 4: and that he's the one pumping up the team.
Speaker 1: So is he in middle school or is he in
Speaker 1: high school?
Speaker 3: I mean I assumed he was the same age as Calvin.
Speaker 1: So all the middle school kids are going to the
Speaker 1: high school game is what we're assuming is happened.
Speaker 2: That's where my brain was allowing me to get.
Speaker 4: Okay, then I will I would love to be with
Speaker 4: your brain, because I was like what.
Speaker 2: However, there was question marks?
Speaker 3: Question mark, question mark, question mark, question mark everywhere at
Speaker 3: this point I'm already starting to get tired.
Speaker 2: It's been ten minutes, and I'm not sure what we're.
Speaker 3: Gonna do because my brain is in overload of trying
Speaker 3: to figure out these questions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so you and I are in the same
Speaker 1: boat again. This one was rough.
Speaker 4: Okay, so hilariously, the girl that Calvin and fig interviewed
Speaker 4: to via his dance state, the girl who said she
Speaker 4: was the head cheerleader, is now just sitting in the
Speaker 4: stands watching the other cheerleaders. So that's either a movie
Speaker 4: mistake she lied on her resume, or she's in middle
Speaker 4: school and it's the middle school.
Speaker 1: Let's just say they're the middle schoolers are going with
Speaker 1: the high school kids. I like that idea. I don't
Speaker 1: think they explained it, but I like that idea. So
Speaker 1: the team is, of course concerned. Where is Calvin with
Speaker 1: the playbook?
Speaker 4: The game starts in like minutes, and just in time,
Speaker 4: Calvin skates in folder in hand. He's got the team
Speaker 4: the other team's playbooks, and now everyone is cheating, and
Speaker 4: that is apparently great. The team gives Calvin Gotha Man
Speaker 4: Issue number two to complete the trade. The basketball team
Speaker 4: runs out on the court, not even hiding or reading
Speaker 4: the rival team's book for anything.
Speaker 2: Even if they could read it, how do you implement that?
Speaker 2: Everyone got it? We're good. Here we go five to
Speaker 2: sixty seven.
Speaker 1: Eight, let's go.
Speaker 4: Okay, so you have all seven hundred of their plays memorized, right,
Speaker 4: let's go. They're clearly running. Johnson left, like, how would
Speaker 4: you know any of this?
Speaker 3: None of it, None of it you have to I
Speaker 3: mean teams hours and hours of films.
Speaker 2: Like this is just ridiculous.
Speaker 1: None of it ridiculous.
Speaker 3: But we're watching a Disney movie. Oh yah, fine, keeping it, pushing,
Speaker 3: got it.
Speaker 4: We're trying so they do win while a very bad
Speaker 4: rap song it's a rap rock song plays for the
Speaker 4: montage at the trophy celebration, the team thanks someone they
Speaker 4: couldn't have done it without. Prescott, of course, thinks it's
Speaker 4: going to be him and his dog Jack, but it's Calvin.
Speaker 4: Back at home, Calvin returns to an angry mom and dad,
Speaker 4: report card in hand. He is barely passing every class,
Speaker 4: and just because he gets other people to do his chores,
Speaker 4: that does not mean he's getting anything done around the house.
Speaker 4: They want him to stop taking shortcuts. We're now back
Speaker 4: in his room, he hangs this new Gotham Man issue boom.
Speaker 4: He only has one left now he just needs number one.
Speaker 4: At school the next day, a hyperventilating fig runs in
Speaker 4: and inforbs Calvin that he has to get to the
Speaker 4: comic book shop asap. When they do arrive, they see
Speaker 4: the Holy Grail. They actually have the Gotha Man number one.
Speaker 4: They're on display. There's only eight known copies in existence,
Speaker 4: and it's available for three thousand dollars, which, frankly, if
Speaker 4: there's only eight in existence, it should be worth.
Speaker 1: Thirty thousand dollars. But I wasn't eve gonna get into
Speaker 1: that the nerd and me was.
Speaker 2: Like, let it go will.
Speaker 4: Sadly, Calvin has less than one hundred and fifty dollars
Speaker 4: to his name, but nothing is impossible to Calvin, which
Speaker 4: is an on running kind of thing he does. Then
Speaker 4: we're at Prescott's big old mansion. Some movers are delivering
Speaker 4: a water fountain when Jacques barks at and bites a
Speaker 4: passing Calvin, knocking him off his skateboard. Calvin is, of
Speaker 4: course furious and should be and should sue, and Prescott
Speaker 4: reveals that Jacques one royal hound dog Foods Top Dog
Speaker 4: Invitational two years in a row. Calvin doesn't give a
Speaker 4: flying whoop.
Speaker 1: That's where he says, I love that I don't give
Speaker 1: a flying whoop. I'm gonna start saying that all the time.
Speaker 4: He did, of course, pitch and nutty, but he didn't
Speaker 4: give a flying whoop until he hears that first prize
Speaker 4: is five thousand dollars. What Calvin leaves very interested. We
Speaker 4: are now back at the library. Fig checks out the
Speaker 4: dog show rules. To qualify for the Top Dog Invitational,
Speaker 4: the dog has to place first in at least one
Speaker 4: regular season Top Dog event and do a ninety second routine.
Speaker 1: Calvin thinks this is easy money, but Fig reminds him
Speaker 1: of one very important thing. He's missing. A dog. A dog,
Speaker 1: and so they visit a pet store once again.
Speaker 4: We see beautiful dogs in tiny little cages for eight
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty dollars. But they realize that purebreads are
Speaker 4: very expensive, but shelter dogs or free. But shelter dogs
Speaker 4: are free, or they could just look for one of
Speaker 4: those free puppy boxes which seem to be in front
Speaker 4: of all the.
Speaker 1: Markets in their town.
Speaker 4: So Calvin visits Emily's shelter to adopt his new meal ticket.
Speaker 4: Emily knows Calvin thinks animals are dirty, and she reads
Speaker 4: right through him. This was also an interesting little bit
Speaker 4: that she remembers a bunch of the stuff he said
Speaker 4: back in the day, which shows that she probably has
Speaker 4: a crush on him because she remembers the stuff he said.
Speaker 4: But Calvin says he wants to turn over a new leaf,
Speaker 4: so Emily offers him the only dog available, her beloved Tycho,
Speaker 4: and despite also ripping his shirt off and knocking him down,
Speaker 4: Tyko's got a problem with shirts, Calvin adopts him with
Speaker 4: just one rule from Emily, don't buy Royal hound dog food.
Speaker 4: Their dog shows exploit animals, which obviously creates a problem.
Speaker 4: One last requirement too, Calvin needs a parent or guardian signature,
Speaker 4: So Calvin tricks his mom into signing the papers by
Speaker 4: just placing it under his report card and asking for
Speaker 4: two signatures. This is where the dumb parent thing takes off,
Speaker 4: where it's like, how does she not notice she's signing
Speaker 4: two papers? I guess it was kind of like, Okay,
Speaker 4: he's tried to make it look like it was the
Speaker 4: report card.
Speaker 1: Then something underneath like you just need to sign this
Speaker 1: and you need to sign that. Yeah, but I.
Speaker 3: Mean, yeah, I don't know. I feel like this is
Speaker 3: something you see in movies, kind of a little lost.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're just throwing it out. We're now fifteen or
Speaker 1: twenty minutes in the movie, a half hour in the movie.
Speaker 1: How many times had you paused and walked out of
Speaker 1: the room by I'm just curious.
Speaker 3: Not too many times at this point, but there are
Speaker 3: just so many questions, wait, what, like, what's going on?
Speaker 2: Do it? Okay? Yeah, you know it's one of the
Speaker 2: if this was one of those movies. Okay, right, okay,
Speaker 2: let go?
Speaker 1: It was like, let go and hope it doesn't get
Speaker 1: any rougher.
Speaker 4: Now, with Calvin as the rightful owner of Tycho, Emily
Speaker 4: reveals she will be visiting his house in ten days
Speaker 4: as a check in, even though a few years ago
Speaker 4: he could have just gotten the exact same dog from
Speaker 4: a sidewalk box. Calvin, already hoping for some dog perks,
Speaker 4: sets up Tycho to pull him on his skateboard, but
Speaker 4: when the pucci's another dog, he takes off at full speed,
Speaker 4: pulling Calvin with him while flailing everywhere. We hear another
Speaker 4: terrible song called we Having Fun? Did you notice this one?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you every time because it's their Uh.
Speaker 2: No, this one I did not notice.
Speaker 4: Eventually, Tycho pulls Kyle Massey's very obvious stunt double right.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's what I was more focused on. He focused on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, it was clearly not him. Yeah.
Speaker 4: A soaked Calvin asks, by the way, not only soaked,
Speaker 4: but freezing, as if he had fallen through ice.
Speaker 1: He was so cold.
Speaker 4: A soaked Calvin asked Fig to house Tycho for a
Speaker 4: couple of weeks because he can't hide him from his parents,
Speaker 4: But there is a seven pound maximum weight limit at
Speaker 4: FIG's apartment complex, so this leaves Tycho to live in
Speaker 4: Calvin's bedroom, immediately barking, eating his things, and keeping him
Speaker 4: up all night with a loud snore. The next morning,
Speaker 4: of course, he has exhausted. His parents think that he
Speaker 4: was the one snoring all night, and his mom thinks
Speaker 4: that Calvin also smells bad. Later, Fig and Calvin realize
Speaker 4: there's only one regular season dog competition left, and it
Speaker 4: involves a series of ramps, tunnels, and a water hazard.
Speaker 4: Prescott and Jock run into the boys, setting up a
Speaker 4: new rivalry. Just one came in and leading us to
Speaker 4: a scene where Tycho runs away, leaving Prescott, Calvin, and
Speaker 4: Fig face down in the mud. While Calvin and Fig
Speaker 4: are washing Tycho off in the driveway, Calvin's mom unexpectedly arrives,
Speaker 4: which this becomes a thing.
Speaker 1: She just keeps randomly showing up.
Speaker 4: So to hide the dog, the boys jump into their
Speaker 4: above ground pool and basically drowned Tycho to hide him.
Speaker 4: She falls forward, of course, because again she.
Speaker 1: Doesn't appear to be the smartest character Reva, and.
Speaker 4: She's like a nurse, but they have it's it's yeah,
Speaker 4: it's so strange.
Speaker 2: She's tired. That's why she's tired, exactly.
Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna say. She's You're right, she is tired.
Speaker 1: She's exhausted.
Speaker 4: The next morning, Calvin leaves Tycho behind and go to school,
Speaker 4: somehow still keeping a secret from his incredibly stupid working parents.
Speaker 4: We get another absolutely insane song about being a dog.
Speaker 1: Did you notice this one?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: We now left alone, Tycho ransacks the house for food
Speaker 4: and water, breaking plates, emptying the fridge, and covering the
Speaker 4: floor in trash.
Speaker 1: This is a nightmare.
Speaker 4: Calva returns expecting to see Tycho in exactly the same
Speaker 4: spot that he left him, because that's.
Speaker 2: Like, no, I did. The dog seemed very well trained.
Speaker 2: Having him do all the things that he did was
Speaker 2: pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I did that was agreed.
Speaker 2: I love seeing dogs do so many things.
Speaker 4: Our dog this year is it's so cool. We taught
Speaker 4: her this cool trick where she's actually doing our taxes.
Speaker 1: And I just thought that was really neat. Yeah, State
Speaker 1: and federal. I thought that was kind of cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Emily, Emily just barks at the the They.
Speaker 1: All have different levels.
Speaker 2: She does it really really well though.
Speaker 1: That's good, Well, that's great.
Speaker 2: Soon as they pop the break, she's barking.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: Instead of seeing the dog where he left him nine
Speaker 4: hours ago, he sees the entire crime scene just as
Speaker 4: his parents walk in.
Speaker 1: They do arrive unexpectedly quite a bit. All the time,
Speaker 1: Calvin all.
Speaker 2: The time, what their schedule is.
Speaker 4: No, and they don't either, apparently. Calvin quickly covers Tycho
Speaker 4: with a blanket on the couch and acts casual. Keep
Speaker 4: in mind, the dog at the at this time is
Speaker 4: moving the whole time under the blanket.
Speaker 1: He's not attempting a second dog.
Speaker 3: It smells like a dog it's marching like a dog.
Speaker 3: My god, Mom and dad, you're yes, as a freaking dog, and.
Speaker 1: A huge one at that. He's gotta be one hundred
Speaker 1: pound dog.
Speaker 4: His dad attempts to walk up and hug Calvin, but
Speaker 4: Calvin jumps up inches from a very large dog under
Speaker 4: the blanket and starts saying stay loudly, hoping you'll keep
Speaker 4: Tycho in place. He says he had friends over and
Speaker 4: takes all the blame for the mess, all the while
Speaker 4: a standing dog.
Speaker 1: Is under the blanket right in front of them.
Speaker 4: They say they know he's hiding something, Hey, okay, but
Speaker 4: they're happy he's taken responsibility and is cleaning everything up,
Speaker 4: so they just walk away. These are I'm sorry, but yeah,
Speaker 4: the poorly written, dumb.
Speaker 1: Decomparents this is not I mean.
Speaker 4: Make it to where he's in the bedroom and he's
Speaker 4: you know, every time there's a bark, he's trying to
Speaker 4: call I mean something where they're not staring at one
Speaker 4: hundred pound dog andt that's moving all.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, it's just it's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Ridiculous, riddiculous.
Speaker 4: Later in his room, Tycho has eating Calvin's homework and
Speaker 4: sneakers and his mom wants to know who he's yelling at.
Speaker 1: He says it's his meditations, and yes, of course she
Speaker 1: believes him again.
Speaker 4: So the next morning, Calvin he's had enough after school,
Speaker 4: Tycho's going back to the pound.
Speaker 1: He doesn't care about the dog show anymore. You know.
Speaker 4: Okay, now we're going to start a real trend that
Speaker 4: we're gonna call remember this, and I'm.
Speaker 1: Gonna say it like that. They're just things that happen
Speaker 1: throughout the movie.
Speaker 4: The two boys from earlier, the guys who were thankful
Speaker 4: for the concert tickets and taking out the trash, they
Speaker 4: show up. Preston has paid them to beat Calvin up.
Speaker 4: It's just business. Calvin says, he's already dropping out of
Speaker 4: the dog show. But the bullys have been paid and
Speaker 4: they have to do their job. By the way, they
Speaker 4: don't pay them, didn't obviously pay them enough, because they
Speaker 4: say it's Preston. They're like they gave they gave them up, Like, yeah,
Speaker 4: Preston paid us to kick your ass, and it's like, wow,
Speaker 4: that's incredible. But the bullies have been paid and they
Speaker 4: have to do their job. And just as they're about
Speaker 4: to punch Calvin, Tycho burst through the fence attached to
Speaker 4: an entire tree that he's pulled out of the ground
Speaker 4: and knocks out the thugs. So Tycho also has super strength,
Speaker 4: I guess, because it's like it's not a small it's
Speaker 4: like literally a full sized tree with roots that they
Speaker 4: have him the.
Speaker 2: Little bit Turner and Hooch and Beethoven.
Speaker 3: These just crazy dogs that can just bust through everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's never addressed again.
Speaker 4: No, Calvin somehow immediately rebuilds and replaces the fence. He
Speaker 4: also paints it so his parents, of course, are very
Speaker 4: much impressed. Again, they don't question anything that's going on.
Speaker 4: That night, Calvin seems to be a little more comfortable Tycho,
Speaker 4: and he calls Emily consider starting to bond a little bit,
Speaker 4: and he calls Emily to start some training at the park,
Speaker 4: which they do in another bontage.
Speaker 1: With another very bad song. I don't know gonna ask
Speaker 1: if you remember it.
Speaker 4: They all start to blend at this point that leads
Speaker 4: us to lunch, where Calvin is still shocked. Anyone with
Speaker 4: a vagina would know gotham Man's arch enemy because girls
Speaker 4: comic books come on. After the training session, when he
Speaker 4: and fig get back to Calvin's place. They see, okay,
Speaker 4: get this his.
Speaker 1: Mom's home early again.
Speaker 2: What I know, I know.
Speaker 4: And just when you think this woman, this poor woman,
Speaker 4: this actress who was very good in the movie, but
Speaker 4: the character couldn't get any stupider, she cuts them off
Speaker 4: of the back door, saying there's a bear in the house.
Speaker 4: She's barricaded in his room and called nine one one,
Speaker 4: so he quickly admits, no, it's Tycho, it's my dog.
Speaker 4: She thought it was a bear that night, his dad
Speaker 4: convinces his mom that the dog would be good for
Speaker 4: Calvin because love doesn't have any shortcuts.
Speaker 1: Very sweet, so he can stay. But no TV and
Speaker 1: no cell.
Speaker 4: Phone for tricking his mom into signing the adoption papers.
Speaker 4: At least there are some ramification for.
Speaker 2: Two months now, I was not.
Speaker 3: A kid that got ground like I didn't. Yes, I
Speaker 3: didn't get grounded. I think maybe a week or I
Speaker 3: was unable to go to like a birthday party or
Speaker 3: something like that. But doesn't two months without a cell
Speaker 3: phone or it seemed like a really extreme amount of time,
Speaker 3: and I would assume that your kids would start driving
Speaker 3: you crazy not having certain things like that for or
Speaker 3: TV long.
Speaker 1: No TV, if they're not.
Speaker 2: If they're not watching TV, what are they doing, They're
Speaker 2: gonna be bothering.
Speaker 1: You, annoying you, exactly exactly.
Speaker 2: It seemed so long to me.
Speaker 1: It was so strange.
Speaker 4: But anyway, speaking of strange, we're into another montage focusing
Speaker 4: on Calvin and Tycho finding their group together, and this
Speaker 4: song is okay, well, let's just here's how this song starts.
Speaker 1: There we go good night.
Speaker 2: Everybody, thank you, have a good one.
Speaker 4: Now we're here at the final regular season dog competition
Speaker 4: where the winner enters the five thousand dollars finals, and
Speaker 4: for some reason that we never really figured out, it's televised,
Speaker 4: and there's a huge crowd that's there cheering on Preston
Speaker 4: and Jock.
Speaker 1: For the reason one you have to.
Speaker 4: Get into the regionals, yes, to get into the other one.
Speaker 4: So he's already going to be competing in the final,
Speaker 4: Jacque and Preston, but they're there. The boys luckily dodge Emily,
Speaker 4: who's there picketing the dog show. Now we're inside the arena.
Speaker 4: Calvin tries to sign in Tycho, but the little past
Speaker 4: Prescott reminds officials that new dogs have to pass a
Speaker 4: hygiene test from a judge, and we get another bad
Speaker 4: song it might be the worst one yet, where it
Speaker 4: sounds like a chipmunk is singing about the baddest dog.
Speaker 3: I can't even I'm not going out, it's crazy.
Speaker 4: It was one whatever the opposite of a banger is
Speaker 4: after another, Calvin reminds Fig that you should always by
Speaker 4: the way, we know at this point that we are
Speaker 4: reviewing d coms.
Speaker 1: We know they're for kids, we get it.
Speaker 4: But we've also with all the d coms we've been watching,
Speaker 4: can now say without any shadow of a doubt, some
Speaker 4: of them.
Speaker 1: Are great, yes, and some of them aren't.
Speaker 2: And regardless, Disney knows music.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, whether it's been a great movie or not,
Speaker 3: the soundtrack is usually sometimes the saving grace.
Speaker 1: It saves the whole thing. Ye, a great times.
Speaker 3: So or even things that don't make sense, the music's
Speaker 3: good and you're like, okay, it's cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So all the people out there that are like, they
Speaker 4: don't realize they're watching a kids show.
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be for kids. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: don't disrespect kids like that because kids know bad too. Yes,
Speaker 1: and this was just not a great version of a
Speaker 1: d coom.
Speaker 2: Kids do no good music.
Speaker 1: They do. They do.
Speaker 4: Calvin reminds fig that you should always expect the impossible,
Speaker 4: and he call the basketball team so remember them, and
Speaker 4: he convinces the entire squad of either the oldest middle
Speaker 4: school kids or high school kids to come down with
Speaker 4: the beauty parlor owning mom to groom and motivate Tycho
Speaker 4: together and he does look adorable by the time they
Speaker 4: actually yesh him up.
Speaker 3: I loved his little speech to the dog, like you
Speaker 3: got this and the dog.
Speaker 1: You got that. He's like, you got this, you got this, Yes,
Speaker 1: you got this. Yeah, so cute, And that was cute
Speaker 1: because they were like He's like, I'm competitive, so we're
Speaker 1: If we're in this, we're in it to win. Great.
Speaker 4: Right off the bat, it is Preston versus Calvin with
Speaker 4: their dogs, and Jacques is masterful on the course where
Speaker 4: Tycho knocks down almost every single obstacle, eventually puncturing the
Speaker 4: doggie pool and flooding the field. But somehow this distraction
Speaker 4: allows Tycho to take the lead. What the are they
Speaker 4: judging this song?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I was not sure that it was
Speaker 2: I didn't realize it was a race.
Speaker 1: I I it Why not just run to the end.
Speaker 1: Then why not skip all the obstacles and just run
Speaker 1: to the end?
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I know none of that made.
Speaker 4: Any sense, So we don't know how it's judged. It's
Speaker 4: just whoever finished first. It doesn't matter how you get there.
Speaker 4: So now, stuck in a tunnel and crashing through a
Speaker 4: large pyramid of dog food, Tycho crosses the finish line first.
Speaker 4: The judges, they add up the penalties, and not only
Speaker 4: does Calvin win, but it's a new course record, right
Speaker 4: even though she says he missed every single at this point,
Speaker 4: I was like, I gotta pause this and walk away.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he missed every single obstacle.
Speaker 3: Jacques actually finished several of them. So they said, you know,
Speaker 3: with the deductions, it's basically saying that missing those obstacles
Speaker 3: was a deduction from the time that they got Okay,
Speaker 3: all right, fine, I think there's a lot of flaws
Speaker 3: in that idea. If I was somebody in the race,
Speaker 3: I would be freaking pissed.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 3: However, then it's like, but what deductions is Jock obviously
Speaker 3: ended up not getting got some deductions, but he completed
Speaker 3: flawlessly the beginning portion. First, you look at any points
Speaker 3: and any extra points for that. It was very It
Speaker 3: was probably the.
Speaker 2: Worst competition I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: I would have I don't.
Speaker 2: I am such a competitive person.
Speaker 3: I need the rules, I need the percentages of penalties.
Speaker 2: And this made no bonkers. This was absolutely dog bonkers.
Speaker 4: Yep, it made no sense. I don't understand what was
Speaker 4: going on. Uh yeah, but we're now back at school.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Emily asked Fig why he follows Calvin around like a servant.
Speaker 4: By the way, I need to give a specific shout
Speaker 4: out here to Ka Panabaker.
Speaker 1: She is a very good actress.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I mean so good.
Speaker 4: She is so grounded in reality in every scene she does.
Speaker 4: She is a very good actress. She really is, and
Speaker 4: I think that needs to be said.
Speaker 3: I loved this scene between her and she had several
Speaker 3: where she's just it doesn't matter whatever irritates you before
Speaker 3: the scene before, when she gets on screen, you're like, Okay,
Speaker 3: we're zoned back in, we are back down, We're good
Speaker 3: to go.
Speaker 2: Take it away.
Speaker 1: She is a very good character, she really is.
Speaker 4: But they She asked Fig why he follows Calvin around
Speaker 4: like a servant, A question I assume many of you
Speaker 4: had during the film. And he says when he was
Speaker 4: new to the school, he had an asthma attack and
Speaker 4: Calvin was the only one to help him by getting
Speaker 4: a janitor who had an an inhaler.
Speaker 1: Then he visited him in the hospital. So Calvin apparently
Speaker 1: has a heart of gold. Very sweet.
Speaker 4: Emily, who is now intrigued, shows up to Calvin's as
Speaker 4: promised for the adoption check in with Tycho, but it
Speaker 4: seems more like a pizza date as they play video
Speaker 4: games in debate comic books. Again, very sweet scene and
Speaker 4: the two definitely have chemistry, and right before she leaves,
Speaker 4: Calvin asks her to the spring dance and she accepts.
Speaker 4: We have a budding romance here by what just Then
Speaker 4: on the television he gets TV blocked. We get a
Speaker 4: news report about this. That's what happens, my friend, he does.
Speaker 1: I'm coining that, by the way, Yes.
Speaker 2: He does.
Speaker 4: So we get a news report about the Top Dog
Speaker 4: Royal Hound Finals and it exposes Calvin and Tycho as finalists.
Speaker 1: Emily says she should have known. She is furious that
Speaker 1: Calvin was just in it for the money.
Speaker 4: He tries to explain that he really does love Tycho
Speaker 4: now which we've seen and Emily says, prove it, drop
Speaker 4: out of the competition. He's contemplating his options just as
Speaker 4: fig pulls up once again, wildly frantic. This kid is
Speaker 4: running around all over the place, too much for somebody
Speaker 4: with a.
Speaker 2: Lot of anxiety, a lot of anxiety.
Speaker 4: He found a lost dog flyer and the picture looks
Speaker 4: just like tycho. Okay, not to bring the mood down,
Speaker 4: but have you ever lost a pet like where you
Speaker 4: needed to like put it on the board?
Speaker 1: Hey, help me find this.
Speaker 2: Yes, we talked about we talked about this.
Speaker 3: Did ye ran away the day we got him, that's right?
Speaker 2: But then he came back named him.
Speaker 1: It because he was escaping.
Speaker 2: So I got kind of I kind of got neutraled out.
Speaker 3: And then recently my mom was home and Emily is
Speaker 3: a little bit of a sprinter and my mom cannot
Speaker 3: run after her.
Speaker 2: She ran out. We was like, you know, thank god.
Speaker 1: I know Gary though teeny and.
Speaker 2: Like we there's coyotes everywhere.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if we get her by the end of the day,
Speaker 3: we probably luckily someone picked her up.
Speaker 4: Sue and I we walk our dog every day and
Speaker 4: when we go up around this one specific street, they
Speaker 4: have a box up in their front house with a big,
Speaker 4: big picture of a turtle and they've lost the turtle.
Speaker 4: So Sue and I have been on turtle patrol for
Speaker 4: like a year trying to find this turtle because we
Speaker 4: figure even in a year, he's probably only gone a block.
Speaker 1: So we're still we're still trying to find this turtle.
Speaker 2: We'll find it.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, turtle, actually it's missed tea.
Speaker 2: Is it okay?
Speaker 1: And it's like but at the same time, we're like,
Speaker 1: what if mister T left of his own accord?
Speaker 4: What if he's like, I'm out, I can't do this,
Speaker 4: I gotta see the world and I gotta go do
Speaker 4: my thing.
Speaker 3: Host my in laws had a turtle come into their
Speaker 3: backyard once.
Speaker 2: Sit in my little one, A little one might be
Speaker 2: mister T A long way.
Speaker 4: Please ask this if you see him again, it can happen.
Speaker 4: But ask this turtle if you see him again, if
Speaker 4: he pities the fool, And that's how we'll know if
Speaker 4: it's mister T or not.
Speaker 2: Perfect.
Speaker 1: That was a great eighties reference. By the way, you
Speaker 1: probably didn't get.
Speaker 2: It, mister T. Are you kidding?
Speaker 1: But you get I pity the fool? Yeah, okay, okay, okay, good.
Speaker 1: Just make sure I won't even ask you what show it's.
Speaker 2: From the Mister t Show.
Speaker 1: We were so close, so close.
Speaker 2: Why couldn't you have just taken that.
Speaker 1: I knew the win win, I won.
Speaker 3: I won for this episode, I won, and you just
Speaker 3: had to do that will.
Speaker 1: It was the eighteen, by the way. So Calvin instructs
Speaker 1: Fig to take down every sign in town. He isn't
Speaker 1: losing Tycho. Fig is disturbed by this. Of course, if
Speaker 1: Tycho has a real family, he.
Speaker 4: Should be returned, but Calvin doesn't agree, and so as
Speaker 4: a result, Fig finally stands up for himself. He will
Speaker 4: not tear down the flyers just because Calvin told him to.
Speaker 4: He calls Calvin selfish and he walks out. Later, a
Speaker 4: very sad Calvin shows his parents the flyer. He wants
Speaker 4: to keep Tycho. He's now really quote unquote more than anything,
Speaker 4: he's really fallen in love with the dog. But his
Speaker 4: dad knows he will do the right thing, and Calvin
Speaker 4: knows that too, and so we cut to Calvin walking
Speaker 4: Tycho to his quote unquote real home. The door opens
Speaker 4: to a somewhat smarmy guy and his attractive, high pitched
Speaker 4: wife who calls the dog Chester. Tyko doesn't want to
Speaker 4: leave Calvin's side. Something's up here, people, even I felt it.
Speaker 4: Calvin rejects the reward and Tycho or Chester tries to
Speaker 4: follow him home, but they say goodbye and the young
Speaker 4: boy is crushed.
Speaker 1: I think Tycho's crushed. Two.
Speaker 4: The next day, a defeated Calvin sits on his lawn.
Speaker 4: Fig is proud of him for returning the dog, so
Speaker 4: much so Fig runs to the shelter to tell Emily
Speaker 4: about Calvin's selfish act, like a very good little wingman.
Speaker 4: And when Emily sees the flyer, she recognizes the photo.
Speaker 4: Wait a second, She's like, I took this picture. Why
Speaker 4: would the family use her photo? Something isn't right here
Speaker 4: with this real family quote unquote. And now Emily, Fig
Speaker 4: and Calvin know that this was Preston's doing. This kid
Speaker 4: turned out to be freaking diabolical.
Speaker 1: And again, in a real do.
Speaker 4: You remember that guy moment, Calvin realizes the dude who
Speaker 4: answered the door for the dog was the man at
Speaker 4: the beginning of the movie who was moving Preston's water fountain.
Speaker 4: It's real, Kaiser, SoSE moment in life is rough here
Speaker 4: and also quite a stretch.
Speaker 1: So now they have to go and get Tycho.
Speaker 4: Back at the water Fountain guy's house, they spot the
Speaker 4: dog in the basement, so Fig, with a Gotham man's
Speaker 4: storyline and his inspiration, knocks on the front door to
Speaker 4: distract the fake owners with magazine subscription offers. Meanwhile, Calvin
Speaker 4: enters the house to get Tycho and to buy some
Speaker 4: more time.
Speaker 1: Fig pretends to have a massive attack. Once the dog
Speaker 1: is clear, he springs up. He has been magically healed.
Speaker 4: Now at the dog, back at Calvin's. That was it,
Speaker 4: By the way, no repercussions know anything. They walk in,
Speaker 4: they get the dog, they walk out that.
Speaker 2: Very very fast.
Speaker 3: Literally all that hill little heart attack thing or very
Speaker 3: cute attack thing.
Speaker 1: Was very The whole thing was very cute, very funny.
Speaker 1: Again all the actors, No problem with the actors. They're
Speaker 1: all great. Kyle Mitchell, Kay all great. Just the material
Speaker 1: could have used the polish. Yeah, now we are back
Speaker 1: at Calvin's.
Speaker 4: Emily wonders when the top dog competition is but they're
Speaker 4: already eight minutes late. But even though the dog food
Speaker 4: company is evil, Emily thinks Tycho has to compete just
Speaker 4: to beat the devilish Preston. The whole family hops in
Speaker 4: the minivan to go for the win. We are now
Speaker 4: at the finals. The theme is around the World in
Speaker 4: eighty dogs, Thank you very Much, with a fake little
Speaker 4: Eiffel Tower, pyramid and Mount Rushmore, but still no Calvin insight.
Speaker 4: Prescott and Jacques have taken to the course. They are
Speaker 4: very impressive with a flawless routine, almost scoring ninety eight.
Speaker 1: Out of one hundred, and now Calvin and Tycho are announced,
Speaker 1: but they still haven't arrived. As Prescott begins to gloat,
Speaker 1: the minivan pulls up for the final call. Just arriving
Speaker 1: at the buzzer, a skateboarding Calvin is being pulled by
Speaker 1: Tycho as the end of the event, with pyrotechnics going
Speaker 1: off everywhere and Kyle Massey's stunt double pulling off some
Speaker 1: very big jumps.
Speaker 4: The routine begins with again more just terrible music. But
Speaker 4: now Tycho races through the course, ignoring most of the
Speaker 4: obstacles but pulling Calvin on the board, completing tricks that
Speaker 4: would make Tony Hawk jealous, even gliding on water, which
Speaker 4: has not been perfected since one guy like two thousand
Speaker 4: years ago. It is an impressive skating session, but the
Speaker 4: dog hasn't done anything.
Speaker 3: No, nope, nothing, But you know what I'm I'm I'm
Speaker 3: in because one it finally makes it make sense why
Speaker 3: they've pushed this skateboarding.
Speaker 2: Thing with Kyle this whole movie.
Speaker 3: Right, So, okay, we've get a little bit, it's got
Speaker 3: a little bit more energy.
Speaker 2: But again we've.
Speaker 3: Already talked about the ridiculousness of this competition regionals.
Speaker 2: This doesn't shock me.
Speaker 1: By this point, I was dead inside anything.
Speaker 3: It doesn't really shock me because it's like, I'm just
Speaker 3: excited that we're getting to see some energy here with
Speaker 3: the scale cuting. I think the skateboarding and the stunts,
Speaker 3: and I love the mount Puff push more.
Speaker 2: Whatever that was.
Speaker 3: I loved all the like creative things as the as
Speaker 3: the the back and forth announcers are going, I'm like,
Speaker 3: I'm okay, we're in it.
Speaker 1: All right, I was, what the hell the dog's not
Speaker 1: doing anything? But yes, So Preston is getting nervous.
Speaker 4: He sneaks off to find a mallet to start secretly
Speaker 4: breaking apart the final ramp from the inside.
Speaker 3: And now we're dark again, and we're now we're gonna
Speaker 3: have a mass murder situation.
Speaker 1: Apparently just kidnapping the dog wasn't enough. Now he hopes
Speaker 1: to kill his friend, So Calvin, can you perform his
Speaker 1: final trick ends up demolishing that ramp and literally flying
Speaker 1: fifty feet in the air, flying like Peter Pan right
Speaker 1: into the table. He does.
Speaker 4: The officials figure out somehow, which we never understand, that
Speaker 4: Preston sabotage Tycho, so they give Calvin a ninety nine,
Speaker 4: making sure he's the new champion.
Speaker 1: Again the dog did absolutely nothing. Congrats, Tycho boo.
Speaker 4: Preston outside now grouped into the reporters because again this
Speaker 4: is a big deal. Emily asked Calvin if he knows
Speaker 4: what he plans to do with the prize money, and
Speaker 4: he confidently says yes. We are now transported to the
Speaker 4: newly constructed Stuart Bickford Animal Shelter. Remember that name from
Speaker 4: earlier in the movie. This is another remember that remember
Speaker 4: that name. It's the creator of Gotham Man. He named
Speaker 4: the shelter after that random writer who was mentioned once
Speaker 4: and once only. Calvin has applauded for his donation, and
Speaker 4: he passed on buying gotham Man number one and inside
Speaker 4: the day's adoption fair, Fig cozies up to a socially
Speaker 4: troubled dog just under the weight requirement for his apartment complex.
Speaker 4: Remember that too was a thing. Fig is now ready
Speaker 4: for the next year's dog competition.
Speaker 1: We have a new challenger.
Speaker 4: As Calvin pitches a tag team or even management for
Speaker 4: his new dog.
Speaker 1: We zoom in on Tycho's face and that is your movie.
Speaker 1: And then we get Kyle's rap song, which works.
Speaker 4: If this was the only weird dog song, yeah to
Speaker 4: the whole movie, it would have been great.
Speaker 1: It's like the rap song they do at the end
Speaker 1: of Holes with the whole cast. It works great, And
Speaker 1: so they do that over the credits, and that is
Speaker 1: life is Rough. We are done, Sabrina. We are done
Speaker 1: with Life is Rough until we get into life is
Speaker 1: Rough too.
Speaker 2: This time is personally yes, we're not doing it.
Speaker 1: Well, let's get into real reviews that we are doing, Sabrina.
Speaker 1: And you have the one star review this week. What
Speaker 1: do we got?
Speaker 3: This is from Adorable Pizza Love the name already just
Speaker 3: came back from Italy ready for more.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is one of.
Speaker 3: The most annoying movies in my life. The message is okay,
Speaker 3: but everything else I hated, especially The Dog Show. If
Speaker 3: this movie deserves any kind of prize is to go
Speaker 3: to the Dog There.
Speaker 1: You go, Okay, well, hey, it's like I can't complain
Speaker 1: with that. It's just what it is.
Speaker 4: I have the five star. It's from Supersonic nine. Life
Speaker 4: Is Rough was a cute movie about growing up. I
Speaker 4: actually went to the school where it was filmed, Wassatch
Speaker 4: Junior High. I thought the weirdest part of the whole
Speaker 4: experience was at the week the film premiered on Disney Channel,
Speaker 4: the school burned down due to an electrical fire started
Speaker 4: in the library. It was really cool because the last
Speaker 4: time I was able to see the inside of my
Speaker 4: school was in that movie. Calvin learned the same lessons
Speaker 4: we learned that summer when our school disappeared.
Speaker 1: Five stars. Okay, there's a lot going on there. Okay,
Speaker 1: there's a lot going.
Speaker 2: On that that Okay.
Speaker 1: Awful that you've lost that you get to see it.
Speaker 1: But five Stars.
Speaker 4: We're gonna come to our favorite part of the podcast
Speaker 4: right now, Sabrina's favorite part. And I snuck ahead and
Speaker 4: looked at what this actually is.

Speaker 4: this week.
Speaker 1: What's what's the plan here?
Speaker 2: Well, I'll give you what I got. It's not great.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie, but I was the first thing
Speaker 3: is And now that we did the the reviews of
Speaker 3: this Junior High, we know we've seen the this Junior
Speaker 3: High before.
Speaker 2: Did it not look like the fuzz Bucket Junior High.
Speaker 1: It did look like the Fuzzbucket Junior High. It didn't high.
Speaker 3: Now I gotta know if it is the same, the
Speaker 3: same Junior high as what they filmed fuzz Bucket.
Speaker 1: In Maybe, but I remember Fuzzy bud Bucket.
Speaker 2: I don't remember fuzz Bucket filming in Utah.
Speaker 4: No, I don't even know it was in La. Remember
Speaker 4: we talked. We talked to her about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she said.
Speaker 3: So much like it. I was like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 3: that would be crazy. The other thing was, and we
Speaker 3: didn't say it, but just one of the ridiculous things
Speaker 3: that kind of happened in this movie that was just
Speaker 3: kind of I don't know if it was supposed to
Speaker 3: be funny or what, but when the dog rips Kyle's shirt,
Speaker 3: he ends up stapling it back together and they do
Speaker 3: an actual show of like an oversh of it, which
Speaker 3: I thought was just so strange. And then of course
Speaker 3: all the all the parents stuff, and then the last
Speaker 3: one was.
Speaker 2: Bow what is it? Bow? Wow for now? Bow for now? Now?
Speaker 2: That was their like slogan.
Speaker 1: Is that how they say?
Speaker 3: Ah?
Speaker 1: Gotcha sweet? Okay?
Speaker 4: Well, now we gotta we gotta rate the movie. We
Speaker 4: got you gotta rate it, Sabrina, I will not make
Speaker 4: you go first. And our options this week are one
Speaker 4: out of ten free puppy boxes, one out of ten
Speaker 4: women who physically can't read comic books but lie about it.
Speaker 4: One out of ten paint buckets of honey, one out
Speaker 4: of ten terrible soundtracks, one at a ten very very
Speaker 4: dumb parents. One out of ten girls lying about being
Speaker 4: a cheerleader, one out of ten things you'll definitely remember
Speaker 4: from the beginning of the movie. One out of ten
Speaker 4: Kyle Massy stunt doubles, or one out of ten oh,
Speaker 4: burned down junior High.
Speaker 2: Oh geez, those are hard.
Speaker 1: I think we should do one out of ten terrible soundtracks. Okay,
Speaker 1: and why don't you go first, Sabrina?
Speaker 2: Damn it, Yes, this is hard for me.
Speaker 3: I again, absolutely adore and love Kyle and Mitchell.
Speaker 2: Not their fault, not this is not their fault.
Speaker 1: It is not that.
Speaker 3: And you can tell and knowing now that what we
Speaker 3: do know that it's in two thousand and five.
Speaker 2: This was at the beginning.
Speaker 3: Portions of their time on the Channel as well. So
Speaker 3: I think if this grip had come to them later
Speaker 3: on in their career on the Channel, they might have
Speaker 3: passed on it. Oh.
Speaker 4: I think they would have, because they were both working
Speaker 4: for the comedy exactly.
Speaker 3: And I think this is something that they again they
Speaker 3: were you know, neither one were the big major leads
Speaker 3: in their shows, so this was their time to really
Speaker 3: have their own moment. So I get where this is going.
Speaker 3: But this was really hard because I just this, This
Speaker 3: movie just.
Speaker 2: Didn't do it for me.
Speaker 3: And then again, rightfully, so what we're going to rate
Speaker 3: it as this soundtrack was my least favorite we've ever heard.
Speaker 1: Yes, agreed, hard, I know we can, Like Kim Hey,
Speaker 1: anybody who's seen the work that these three actors with
Speaker 1: Kay as well, have done before knows that this was
Speaker 1: not their fault.
Speaker 4: They were three very talented child actors that were very funny.
Speaker 1: I mean, again, you're talking about Kay Panabaker's.
Speaker 4: Been a bunch of stuff, the first spinoff ever given
Speaker 4: to Kyle Massei, I mean Mitchell, the incredible musician, And
Speaker 4: these are three talented people that did not have the
Speaker 4: material and still fought for the comedy absolutely.
Speaker 1: So this is not in any.
Speaker 2: Ways but the movie itself. I have to give four
Speaker 2: terrible soundtracks and that kills me. And I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to sleep tonight.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry I could not as exactly the number I
Speaker 4: was gonna pick four, and I'm gonna sleep like a baby.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's this is was not a good movie.
Speaker 4: We've seen what Disney Disney Channel can do, and again,
Speaker 4: there's no excuse, is the answer to this, because we've
Speaker 4: seen movies at exactly the same time, even younger, with
Speaker 4: better scripts. They had the cast in place, so they
Speaker 4: have young, talented actors.
Speaker 1: It's a dog movie. You got a great, big dog.
Speaker 1: There's so much you can do.
Speaker 4: It just failed on a whole bunch of different levels.
Speaker 4: Not the actor's fault, nope, but it failed on a
Speaker 4: whole bunch of different levels.
Speaker 1: So I agree with you as well. It is for
Speaker 1: terrible soundtracks. This was a rough one to watch, Okay,
Speaker 1: so thank you so much for joining us. We know
Speaker 1: that was a tough one. It was.
Speaker 4: I'm sure there's some people out there that absolutely loved it.
Speaker 4: I would encourage you to watch again as an adult.
Speaker 4: It is a little bit different. But our next movie
Speaker 4: is something we have been so amped up for since
Speaker 4: day one of deciding to do this podcast. You know,
Speaker 4: it's officially spooky season because we'll be reviewing the nineteen
Speaker 4: ninety eight holiday staple wait for it, Halloween Town.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 4: Yes, a very important entry into the Lexicon of dcoms.
Speaker 4: We cannot wait talk about a good young actor.
Speaker 1: Man. This cast is gonna be great. And don't sit
Speaker 1: and stay just yet.

Speaker 1: That's what I just said. I apologize, but here's a
Speaker 1: clip from the show.
Speaker 4: Do you remember the first time you met Jed, which
Speaker 4: was the name of the dog that played Niko.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I actually met Jeb before we actually
Speaker 5: started filming the movie. So there was actually like this
Speaker 5: really awesome like animal training facility that like all the
Speaker 5: Disney Channel actors used. I don't know if they used
Speaker 5: all of them, but they they were like providing animals
Speaker 5: to all the Disney channels, you know. And they sent
Speaker 5: me out there to like work with him and meet
Speaker 5: him and teach him some tricks. So we got a
