No, not even redo, just to 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:30.400 go back and be an age again. It's not even 0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:33.680 about fixing mistakes, going out and being an age again. 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:34.720 Is there one you'd pick? 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:40.320 I think I would go back just to relive again 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:44.360 that those couple of years of first meeting Jordan and ours, 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:49.280 like first starting our relationship. I loved that time. I 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:53.480 was doing such a fun work situation. I was in 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:57.120 Vegas working at the Tropic Canna, doing the Dancing with 0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:59.240 the Stars live in Las Vegas. 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:01.760 And then we did cruise lines like there was just 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:02.760 so much fun stuff. 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:07.039 And then of course, just like meeting him and after 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:11.760 dating not the best guys, finding this love and it 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.440 being what everyone else that I knew at that age 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.400 was talking about a lot of my friends were married 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:17.399 by that time, and it was like. 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:23.000 Oh, oh, this is amazing. N So, yeah, I think 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.520 that might be that nice Corney. 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:30.960 Huh, None, that's great, I think that's good. Yeah, I'm 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.120 I have I have two answers. The first one is 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:36.199 totally ridiculous. It's just so cliche, but it's true. Where 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:38.560 I'm the happiest I think I've ever been up the 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:40.000 age I am right now. I wouldn't want to change 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:40.360 it at all. 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:42.120 Yeah, that's awesome. 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.200 And then my other answer is to the first time 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.119 I meet Jordan, That's when I'm going to go on out. 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:48.560 I'm gonna change my age. I want to go forward 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.640 in life. Whenever I meet him. It sounds like a 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:52.040 great guy. 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.440 Yeah, he'll change your He'll change your whole world. 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.320 I bet you you will. I'll bet you you will 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.960 change my world. Well, welcome back to Magical Rewind, the 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.760 show that makes you want to grab your friends, your PJS, 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.400 and your popcorn and go back to a time when 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.520 all the houses were smart, the Wave, Tsunamis and the 0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:09.920 high School's musical. I'm wilfor Dell and I'm Sabrina Brian. Well, 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:12.800 once again we have found ourselves back in a time 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:16.720 travel conundrum. So hide the goldfish, cause we're gonna break 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.200 down the two thousand and one sci fi comedy v 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.959 D com the poof Point. We are two weeks in 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.280 a row. Here, people, first, minute men. Now this the 0:02:26.280 --> 0:02:29.680 poof point, debuted on a rather precarious day for a 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.640 time travel movie, first showing on the channel September fourteenth, 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.400 two thousand and one. So this is three days after, 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:37.519 you know, our country had just gone for one of 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.120 the worst days in history. The movie is based on 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:43.240 a nineten ninety two children's novel of the same insane title, 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.359 written by Elaine Weiss, and we can acknowledge that once 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.720 again we have a strange title that does it no favors. 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.480 It has very thirteenth year vibe and also kind of 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.160 sounds a little bit dirty or at least like a 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.919 movie well about farts. So you can watch this movie 0:02:57.960 --> 0:02:59.880 not about farts, thank you, on Disney Plus. So go 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.000 check it out now or later. You've all got free will, 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.000 so use it anyway. We once again enter the sci 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.840 fi genre for this, but also into a really surreal 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:13.280 slapstick space as well. Worth noting that, not only in 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.400 the world of dcoms, but also on television in general 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.480 in two thousand and one, it was rare to see 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.679 a story centered around a black family, and a black 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.560 family of scientists at that, so once again kudos to 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.280 the Disney channel for always being just a bit ahead 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.840 in the field of inclusivity. They really have been. You 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.760 name it, they get their first It's awesome. With that said, 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:33.680 the proof Point is one of the lowest rated dcoms 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.080 when it comes to reviews, clocking a twenty seven percent 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:39.760 on Rotten Tomatoes and regularly mentioned when listing the worst 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:44.120 releases from the genre. And well, one of the reasons 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:45.800 is because we once again go back to one of 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:50.840 our favorite tropes, unbelievably awful neglectful parents. The premise is 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.120 so dependent on that, and boy does this movie have 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.880 plot holes. Not to mention it looks like it was 0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.880 shot on a camquarder Sabrina. As always, I'm going to 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.520 did you know anything about this movie before the words 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:07.040 the poof and point, no, we're put on your schedule? 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:08.120 Not at all. 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:11.960 I was super stoked to see our guy Taj, who 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.320 we love here on this podcast. 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:15.240 So much, loved to so. 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:20.000 Excited to see him and a lot of great amazing actors. 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:20.719 You know that. 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.160 I was excited when I first turned it on, and 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.160 then it sort. 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.640 Of happened to you. It's seeing to me. It was 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:30.320 happening to me, and I couldn't make it stop. 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.000 I couldn't. I couldn't. It was. It was a tougher 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:34.360 movie for me to get through. 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:38.159 Unfortunately, I hate saying anything a bad about the Disney 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.120 Channel because you know, I am a Disney girl through 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:41.560 and through. 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.039 But this was it was a tough one. 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.599 It was rough and this and again, they can't all 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:50.200 be great. They can't love every movie. I can absolutely 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:54.880 say that even in this film, Taj is great. He's 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.880 tas Yes, there's a reason he was one of the 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.600 stars of the Channel. He shines in every thing he's in. 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.359 He's really really good. They always talk about it, like 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:06.920 when you see especially a child actor, Yes, they have it. 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:08.960 He has it. He just does. 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:09.520 Yes. 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.960 Also, another actor that we've seen now that breaks the 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.760 fourth wall talk straight to us. 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:19.200 And again that is really hard to do. It is 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:20.880 and he did a great job. 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.400 And we'll get into that because I have a theory 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.480 that I called the Shawn Aston theory. And we'll get 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:28.800 into my Shawn Aston theory in a bit, all right, 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.760 But before we find ourselves magically daged back into middle school, 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.640 or before we turned on this movie, let's get into 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:39.279 the synopsis. A married scientist couple are forced to enlist 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.720 the help of their children after an experiment goes wrong 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:45.839 and makes them younger and younger. This is where we 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:47.520 do our early thoughts. I think we both just kind 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:49.920 of said, it's not great. We don't need to dwell 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.640 on the fact that it's not great, but it's really 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.359 especially because we've been seeing some kind of bangers, yes 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:59.839 for different reasons stuff we loved. This just seemed like 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.760 it was I mean, I look at two thousand and one. 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:05.520 I mean, when did Cheetah Girls come out. 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:08.800 Two thousand and three, three in two thousand and two, 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:10.040 two years, so you. 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.760 Filmed a year later, and this again it looked like 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.480 it was shot on a camcorder like, it looked bad. 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.960 The stage was, you know, the props and everything was 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.520 just kind of I thought when we got the information 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:25.719 it was going to be from a different producing company 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.240 that that Disney bought. 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.720 Like yes, right, yes, okay, because it didn't. 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.839 To me, it did not correlate with the rest of 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.679 or not the rest, but so many does d coms, 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:37.679 you know, just it just really looked different. 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:38.760 It looked different, it. 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:40.280 Grown different, it read different. 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:44.400 I agree, and I need my good old d com 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.000 you know I need it. 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:48.960 I need it. Well halfway through this movie, I was like, 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.479 I never thought I'd say this, but I wish they'd 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.120 break it the song or they start dancing on the 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:58.200 team page. I do something. Anyway, Yes, let's get into 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:00.400 the cast the movie stars. Obviously, we've talked about him, 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.680 Disney legend and someone we love to imagine every single 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:06.919 d com because he's amazing. His whole family is young 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:10.440 Taj Maury Taj playing Eddie Ballard in this movie. He's 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:12.920 best known as TJ Henderson on Smart Guy Teddy on 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.800 Full House and as the voice of Wade on Kim 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.080 Possible Wade, Can You Help Me out Here? He also 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.680 cross over a few times as TJ on Sister Sister Show, 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.640 starring his twin sisters Tia and Tamara and produced by 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.000 the same people. Taj was also back on Disney last 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.600 year as one of the stars of The Muppets Mayhem 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:34.080 TV show. He is ridiculously talented and it could not 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.840 be a nicer human being. Raquelle Lee is Marie Ballard, 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.160 the older sister of the family. She was a performer 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:41.880 on the first season of The Amanda Show and would 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:45.000 later voice Nubia on the Proud Family and appear on 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.520 The Hugh Lees and The Bernie mac Show. She also 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.760 recently appeared on Disney for the Proud Family reboot Louder 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:54.840 and Prouder. Mark Curry is Norton Ballard, their father and 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:58.200 a bumbling scientific genius. Mark was a tea. The character 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.720 not Mark Curry. He's neither bump. He might be a 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:02.640 scientific genius. I don't know, but he's not bumbling, but 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.920 Norton Valor was. Mark was a TGF standout for his 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.760 hit show Hanging with Mister Cooper that ran for five seasons. 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.440 You also see him in the movie Armageddon and on 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:14.400 shows like See Dad Run, Living Single, The Jamie Fox Show, 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:19.080 and Family Reunion with Tiamury and then Don Lewis played 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.520 his wife, Marigo Balor. She is best remembered for her 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:23.440 time on the show A Different World, where she played 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.880 Jalisa Vinson. In addition to that, this is a very 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:28.840 fun fact, she was also one of the composers of 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.280 the theme song, which is really cool. But her first 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.000 job ever was in one of my favorite movies of 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:38.200 all time, Keenan Ivory Wayans at his best writing and 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:41.360 directing a film that is hold your gut funny from 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.320 beginning to end called I'm Going to Get You Suck Up. 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:45.880 Very important in the Fidell family, and she's been in 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:48.520 so many things, including hanging with mister Cooper with Mark 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.360 Curry before doing this movie, girlfriends, Young Rock and better 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.400 Call Saul. But she can now be heard as an 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:57.600 exceptionally busy voiceover actress. She is. She works all the time, 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:02.040 most notably as Bernice Hibbert on The Simpsons, but also 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:06.040 on Star Trek, Lower Decks, Futurama, World of Warcraft, Doc McStuffins, 0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:10.320 and is Detective Terry Lee on Spider Man the animated series. Yes, 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.400 she works all the time, but seriously, go watch I'm 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.679 Gonna Get You suck It. It is so good. Now 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:18.720 very important here because you know how much we dwell 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.959 on this, but online you get a very different number. 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:25.800 But on Disney Plus this movie runs a very short, 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:29.800 mercifully seventy nine minutes, which is great, which is in 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:31.880 contrast to the number listed on most of the Internet 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.960 sources which say ninety minutes on the dot. But that 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.000 is not true. Lies, people, these are lies. Do not 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.840 believe them. This was no bull's eye. Don't listen to them, 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:45.280 I call Pants on Fire. The movie is directed by 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:50.880 Neil Israel, whose filmography is insane. He directed some of 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.440 the classic eighty adult theme movies like Bachelor Party with 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.200 Tom Hanks, which if you go back and watch, is 0:09:56.720 --> 0:10:00.480 not good and Moving Violations, and also wrote the first 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:04.520 Police Academy movie, Real Genius with Val Kilmer, which is 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:07.160 one of the greatest films ever made in the history 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.559 of the world, and a few Mary Kate and Ashley 0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:12.320 Olson movies as well. He also go on to direct 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.600 I'm Blowing Past Mary Kate Nashley Olsen by the Way, 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.920 because nothing will beat Real Genius. He also goes on 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.400 to direct TV shows like The Wonder Years, Lizzy Maguire, 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.839 Nash Bridges, and Phil of the Future. Such an eclectic career. 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:29.160 Neil Israel has been around forever, which made me wonder 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.440 about this movie a little bit because it just didn't 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.839 look good anyway. I'm not gonna dwell. I tried to 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:36.120 watch it as an eleven year old, and the eleven 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:38.120 oar old of me was sitting there going, Wow, this 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:43.040 movie doesn't look good. And then poof Point is written 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.960 by the dcom daddy friend of the podcast. Great guy, 0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:48.840 Stu Krieger. Go check out our interview with him. He's 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.680 amazingly fascinated and we hope to get him back soon. 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:53.560 So we're not gonna say anything about the writing because 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:55.720 it really kind. I mean, the writing wasn't great, but 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.160 I don't think this was Stu through and through. I 0:10:58.200 --> 0:10:59.880 don't know why. I bet you there's a story, but 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.640 I don't know what it is. It didn't feel like 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.920 a Stu Krieger movie. It did, frankly, I mean, yeah, 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.040 how many have we watch now? There's been a bunch, 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:11.040 so yeah, it didn't. Yeah, and we want to have 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:12.440 him back on him. I'd like to talk to him 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.600 about this. It's also worth noting that Darlene Marie, Taj's 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:17.480 mom was a producer on this movie, something she would 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:19.480 only do three times, and the other two movies are 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:23.080 Seventeen Again and Double Wedding with her Daughters. Okay, So 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.080 getting back to what you said in the beginning, So 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.079 you said that we've only and this is right, we've 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.160 only really seen this in quints where the actors talking 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:32.240 directly to the camera, which then led to us talking 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.680 about a couple times Parker Lewis can't lose, which you're 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:36.960 gonna have to go and watch this if we can 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:41.320 even find it anywhere. But it's it starts with Taj 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.160 speaking directly to the camera, but just a single shot 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.920 of him, like he doesn't move, He's in front of 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:51.840 a chalkboard, and he's just addressing the camera directly. Here's 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:53.520 my theory about this, and here's why I call it 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.600 the Shawn Aston theory. So one of my favorite movies 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.480 growing up with Shawn Aston was Whitewater Summer, and I 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.720 had a chance to talk to him about Whitewater Summer. 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:04.520 White Water Summer's this is going to do this very quickly. 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.400 It's a movie about a bunch of kids that have 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:12.040 nothing in common that go on a camping trip. It's 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.800 like a summer program with Kevin Bacon as the lead 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:16.880 of the camp and Kevin Bacon kind of turns out 0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:21.480 to be crazy and all this shenanigans happens and the 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.600 kids have to essentially first beat up Kevin Bacon and 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:28.319 then rescue the fact that it's really a Bonker's movie. 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.480 But I had a chance to talk to Sean about that, 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:34.840 and throughout the movie they keep cutting to him talking 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:38.200 to the camera about the movie, but he looks older, 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.120 and so I said to him. I was like, hey, Sean, 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:42.520 I want to talk about this, and he went, well, 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.719 what happened was they cut the movie together and they 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.800 didn't like how the story was flowing. So like two 0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:51.439 years later, I had to come back and shoot these interstitials. 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.760 And with the way this was shot with Taj, it 0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:58.320 almost seemed like they put the movie together and the 0:12:58.360 --> 0:12:59.880 story didn't quite work. 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.200 They needed to help out with some astra and. 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.959 They shot extra things with Taj to stick in throughout 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:10.240 the movie to keep the story going. Yeah. I could 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:11.280 totally be wrong. 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.920 No, yeah, but that would make a lot of sense. 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:15.680 Didn't it feel like that a little bit? Yeah? 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:16.560 Even the end. 0:13:16.679 --> 0:13:18.680 I mean I don't want to jump forward, but the 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:22.359 end where they've came back from a holiday. 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:26.640 Yeah, yes, it didn't. None of it made any sense. 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.880 And that's the only thing going through my head was 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.680 they cut this movie together. It did not work the 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:34.080 way they had it cut. They went to Taj with 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.560 these interstitials, they did extra shooting days, and then they 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:40.320 cut them in through the movie. Because he does there's 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.080 certain ones where he's explaining things like, well, the only 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.080 way we then got my parents, who were now seven 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.120 years old together is by locking him in a room 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.040 and making him work it out, and then they cut 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.000 to after so you didn't have to see what he 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:52.160 was just talking about. 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:56.680 It was right, strange, Yes, it was just explained through words, 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.120 no visual to see any of it. 0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.440 Yeah, and it's not even like they had him in 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.559 different locations talking to the camera. It was just him 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:07.120 in front of a chalkboard in the city. I think 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:08.760 he's in the same outfit the whole time. I could 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:12.840 be wrong, right, Yes, so it just seems like something 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.880 they threw in last second, but we could be wrong. 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:27.760 Let's start the poof point at the beginning. So again 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.080 starts with TODJ giving us some straight to camera intro 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:32.720 an overview asking if we can believe our parents ever 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.520 used to be young, which is a question we've all 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:38.120 thought before. You know you you see your parents. We've 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.160 talked about this on Podmetrol and I've talked about this 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.560 with friends where it's it's a beautiful and strange day 0:14:43.560 --> 0:14:47.080 when you finally see your parents as humans and not 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:49.800 just parents. You realize they're flawed and they're just like you, 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:51.680 and they're trying to figure it out the entire way, 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.360 and and you obviously don't get that when you're fourteen, 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:58.520 and you can't get that fourteen. So the premise great 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:00.760 kind of premise, like what would your parents be like 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:02.320 back to the future kind of. 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:04.880 Or thinking about your parents as a teenager as the 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.640 as the age that you are currently. 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.840 That is a weird thing. 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:13.680 Yeah, no, my parents aren't going through the first you know, 0:15:13.920 --> 0:15:18.080 jitters of being around a boy you like or finding yourself. 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:18.960 Right, things like that. 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:23.040 You just don't really ever want to see your parents 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:23.520 that way. 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:27.920 And when you're a kid, you're you're absolutely convinced that 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.160 you're the first person to ever experience any of these 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:32.520 emotions that you're going No one's ever. 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:37.280 Felt like, yes, that that is so so great about 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:38.960 being Yeah, it is right. 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:40.720 You're just I'm the only way. 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:43.800 Your own world, in your own world, nobody understands me. 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.960 And never will I hear this. You might be able 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:48.320 to tell me this. I hear this happens when you 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:49.880 become a parent too. All of a sudden, you're the 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.400 first person ever parent. So it's like, here's how we 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.120 do it, and your parents like, yeah, we've done this 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:56.760 thirty two times and like, yeah, yes, but we do 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.280 it a little bit differently. So yes, it's I think 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.480 it always switches. Yes, so we we've all thought before. 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.320 And he says he's actually lived with his parents as 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.360 kids and that this is his story, which includes then 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:12.600 instantly seeing his parents acting like toddlers, which is very 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:13.080 off putting. 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:18.200 Right off the beginning, I instantly went, oh, right, oh, no, right. 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:19.960 Oh it did. 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.720 I don't like this. I don't like it already, and 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:24.280 I'm two minutes in. 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:27.760 I agree terrible saying that, but it was that scene 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:31.360 with her on the ground, whining and like a baby. Yeah, 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:33.400 and it might be because I have a toddler who 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:35.920 kind of does like that to me right now, and 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.880 I'm like, no, no, I cannot take any additional It 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.120 might be because of that, but yes, right from the start, 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:41.480 I was. 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.080 Just and I you know, if they did want to 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:46.240 suck us in also kind of spoils the end, if 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:47.000 I'm honest with you. 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:53.200 Yeah, to see these grown people acting as the toddlers, 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.280 it did kind of take away from when they do 0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:57.360 progress to that age. 0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:00.240 I agree. So then we see that, and then he 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.040 kind of says, but you know, where we don't want 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:03.680 to start there, and so boom. We go back to 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:05.920 the beginning of the story, where young Eddie and Marie 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:08.680 are brothers and sisters. They are stuck with their two 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:12.679 very uncool and uptight scientists inventor parents who have the 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:15.800 most irresponsible ideas. They make the house and neighborhood shake. 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:19.960 They obviously have you know, they're causing explosions in the house. 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:21.560 We find We will find out a little bit later 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:25.240 that the university they worked for specifically had them build 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.760 their laboratory in their home to get them off campus 0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:31.440 because of what they're doing is soo in a neighborhood. Yeah, 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:33.959 so put it in a residential neighborhood with your children, right. 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:37.840 So they're really awful parents. There's no other way to 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:42.560 say it. They are just neglectful, awful parents. They immediately 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.520 have forgotten that both the kids. So Taj's character is 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:47.320 very smart and has skipped a grade, so he's in 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:50.639 the same grade as his older sister, and they are 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.760 both graduating from middle school. Both the parents have completely 0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:55.440 forgot that they're graduating that day. 0:17:55.680 --> 0:17:59.040 So sad, so sad, especially because we are in graduation 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:02.399 season right now. You see the balloons in every and 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:05.360 every grocery store. Right now, it is such a big 0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:07.879 deal for kids to go up into that next level. 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.800 My little nephew just went up. He's now in middle school, 0:18:11.800 --> 0:18:15.480 and I mean it's huge. You cannot imagine forgetting. 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:18.320 That completely and totally forgot. They forgot. Not only that, 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:20.640 but they lie about the fact that they forgot. Yes, 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:24.840 and then they're like, no, we remembered. Then about an 0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:27.760 hour later, the father forgets again, right, and she has 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:28.600 to remind him again. 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:32.040 And the worst part is there the kids are anticipating this, 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.000 They fully know this is gonna happen. This is how 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:35.600 bad they are. 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:39.320 Yeah, they're awful. And then at the graduation, the parents 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:42.040 don't even pay any attention to the graduation itself. They're 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:45.880 focused on the laptops. They're missing the kid's commencement. And 0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:48.680 they don't know their their kids friend's name. They know 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:51.879 nothing about them, like, literally nothing about their kids, their children. 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:55.639 They are bad, awful awful parents are the Now, Okay, 0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:59.360 let's if we're ranking, where do you put these up 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:02.119 with me? You think about brink Dad, But he was 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:03.600 he was doing it for a reason. 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:10.600 He was cranky. He wasn't necessarily no the worst dad. 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:15.240 He was just cranky. The Quint's parents, they were overwhelmed. 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:17.280 They weren't great, but so. 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:19.240
