Speaker 1: Sabrina, Was there a time in your life that you
Speaker 1: would go back to right now if you could, would
Speaker 1: you change your age right now, if you could to
Speaker 1: go back and redo something, not even redo, I'm going
Speaker 1: to take that back. No, not even redo, just to
Speaker 1: go back and be an age again. It's not even
Speaker 1: about fixing mistakes, going out and being an age again.
Speaker 1: Is there one you'd pick?
Speaker 2: I think I would go back just to relive again
Speaker 2: that those couple of years of first meeting Jordan and ours,
Speaker 2: like first starting our relationship. I loved that time. I
Speaker 2: was doing such a fun work situation. I was in
Speaker 2: Vegas working at the Tropic Canna, doing the Dancing with
Speaker 2: the Stars live in Las Vegas.
Speaker 3: And then we did cruise lines like there was just
Speaker 3: so much fun stuff.
Speaker 2: And then of course, just like meeting him and after
Speaker 2: dating not the best guys, finding this love and it
Speaker 2: being what everyone else that I knew at that age
Speaker 2: was talking about a lot of my friends were married
Speaker 2: by that time, and it was like.
Speaker 3: Oh, oh, this is amazing. N So, yeah, I think
Speaker 3: that might be that nice Corney.
Speaker 1: Huh, None, that's great, I think that's good. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: I have I have two answers. The first one is
Speaker 1: totally ridiculous. It's just so cliche, but it's true. Where
Speaker 1: I'm the happiest I think I've ever been up the
Speaker 1: age I am right now. I wouldn't want to change
Speaker 1: it at all.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 1: And then my other answer is to the first time
Speaker 1: I meet Jordan, That's when I'm going to go on out.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna change my age. I want to go forward
Speaker 1: in life. Whenever I meet him. It sounds like a
Speaker 1: great guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he'll change your He'll change your whole world.
Speaker 1: I bet you you will. I'll bet you you will
Speaker 1: change my world. Well, welcome back to Magical Rewind, the
Speaker 1: show that makes you want to grab your friends, your PJS,
Speaker 1: and your popcorn and go back to a time when
Speaker 1: all the houses were smart, the Wave, Tsunamis and the
Speaker 1: high School's musical. I'm wilfor Dell and I'm Sabrina Brian. Well,
Speaker 1: once again we have found ourselves back in a time
Speaker 1: travel conundrum. So hide the goldfish, cause we're gonna break
Speaker 1: down the two thousand and one sci fi comedy v
Speaker 1: D com the poof Point. We are two weeks in
Speaker 1: a row. Here, people, first, minute men. Now this the
Speaker 1: poof point, debuted on a rather precarious day for a
Speaker 1: time travel movie, first showing on the channel September fourteenth,
Speaker 1: two thousand and one. So this is three days after,
Speaker 1: you know, our country had just gone for one of
Speaker 1: the worst days in history. The movie is based on
Speaker 1: a nineten ninety two children's novel of the same insane title,
Speaker 1: written by Elaine Weiss, and we can acknowledge that once
Speaker 1: again we have a strange title that does it no favors.
Speaker 1: It has very thirteenth year vibe and also kind of
Speaker 1: sounds a little bit dirty or at least like a
Speaker 1: movie well about farts. So you can watch this movie
Speaker 1: not about farts, thank you, on Disney Plus. So go
Speaker 1: check it out now or later. You've all got free will,
Speaker 1: so use it anyway. We once again enter the sci
Speaker 1: fi genre for this, but also into a really surreal
Speaker 1: slapstick space as well. Worth noting that, not only in
Speaker 1: the world of dcoms, but also on television in general
Speaker 1: in two thousand and one, it was rare to see
Speaker 1: a story centered around a black family, and a black
Speaker 1: family of scientists at that, so once again kudos to
Speaker 1: the Disney channel for always being just a bit ahead
Speaker 1: in the field of inclusivity. They really have been. You
Speaker 1: name it, they get their first It's awesome. With that said,
Speaker 1: the proof Point is one of the lowest rated dcoms
Speaker 1: when it comes to reviews, clocking a twenty seven percent
Speaker 1: on Rotten Tomatoes and regularly mentioned when listing the worst
Speaker 1: releases from the genre. And well, one of the reasons
Speaker 1: is because we once again go back to one of
Speaker 1: our favorite tropes, unbelievably awful neglectful parents. The premise is
Speaker 1: so dependent on that, and boy does this movie have
Speaker 1: plot holes. Not to mention it looks like it was
Speaker 1: shot on a camquarder Sabrina. As always, I'm going to
Speaker 1: did you know anything about this movie before the words
Speaker 1: the poof and point, no, we're put on your schedule?
Speaker 3: Not at all.
Speaker 2: I was super stoked to see our guy Taj, who
Speaker 2: we love here on this podcast.
Speaker 1: So much, loved to so.
Speaker 2: Excited to see him and a lot of great amazing actors.
Speaker 3: You know that.
Speaker 2: I was excited when I first turned it on, and
Speaker 2: then it sort.
Speaker 1: Of happened to you. It's seeing to me. It was
Speaker 1: happening to me, and I couldn't make it stop.
Speaker 3: I couldn't. I couldn't. It was. It was a tougher
Speaker 3: movie for me to get through.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, I hate saying anything a bad about the Disney
Speaker 2: Channel because you know, I am a Disney girl through
Speaker 2: and through.
Speaker 3: But this was it was a tough one.
Speaker 1: It was rough and this and again, they can't all
Speaker 1: be great. They can't love every movie. I can absolutely
Speaker 1: say that even in this film, Taj is great. He's
Speaker 1: tas Yes, there's a reason he was one of the
Speaker 1: stars of the Channel. He shines in every thing he's in.
Speaker 1: He's really really good. They always talk about it, like
Speaker 1: when you see especially a child actor, Yes, they have it.
Speaker 1: He has it. He just does.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 2: Also, another actor that we've seen now that breaks the
Speaker 2: fourth wall talk straight to us.
Speaker 3: And again that is really hard to do. It is
Speaker 3: and he did a great job.
Speaker 1: And we'll get into that because I have a theory
Speaker 1: that I called the Shawn Aston theory. And we'll get
Speaker 1: into my Shawn Aston theory in a bit, all right,
Speaker 1: But before we find ourselves magically daged back into middle school,
Speaker 1: or before we turned on this movie, let's get into
Speaker 1: the synopsis. A married scientist couple are forced to enlist
Speaker 1: the help of their children after an experiment goes wrong
Speaker 1: and makes them younger and younger. This is where we
Speaker 1: do our early thoughts. I think we both just kind
Speaker 1: of said, it's not great. We don't need to dwell
Speaker 1: on the fact that it's not great, but it's really
Speaker 1: especially because we've been seeing some kind of bangers, yes
Speaker 1: for different reasons stuff we loved. This just seemed like
Speaker 1: it was I mean, I look at two thousand and one.
Speaker 1: I mean, when did Cheetah Girls come out.
Speaker 2: Two thousand and three, three in two thousand and two,
Speaker 2: two years, so you.
Speaker 1: Filmed a year later, and this again it looked like
Speaker 1: it was shot on a camcorder like, it looked bad.
Speaker 2: The stage was, you know, the props and everything was
Speaker 2: just kind of I thought when we got the information
Speaker 2: it was going to be from a different producing company
Speaker 2: that that Disney bought.
Speaker 3: Like yes, right, yes, okay, because it didn't.
Speaker 2: To me, it did not correlate with the rest of
Speaker 2: or not the rest, but so many does d coms,
Speaker 2: you know, just it just really looked different.
Speaker 1: It looked different, it.
Speaker 3: Grown different, it read different.
Speaker 2: I agree, and I need my good old d com
Speaker 2: you know I need it.
Speaker 1: I need it. Well halfway through this movie, I was like,
Speaker 1: I never thought I'd say this, but I wish they'd
Speaker 1: break it the song or they start dancing on the
Speaker 1: team page. I do something. Anyway, Yes, let's get into
Speaker 1: the cast the movie stars. Obviously, we've talked about him,
Speaker 1: Disney legend and someone we love to imagine every single
Speaker 1: d com because he's amazing. His whole family is young
Speaker 1: Taj Maury Taj playing Eddie Ballard in this movie. He's
Speaker 1: best known as TJ Henderson on Smart Guy Teddy on
Speaker 1: Full House and as the voice of Wade on Kim
Speaker 1: Possible Wade, Can You Help Me out Here? He also
Speaker 1: cross over a few times as TJ on Sister Sister Show,
Speaker 1: starring his twin sisters Tia and Tamara and produced by
Speaker 1: the same people. Taj was also back on Disney last
Speaker 1: year as one of the stars of The Muppets Mayhem
Speaker 1: TV show. He is ridiculously talented and it could not
Speaker 1: be a nicer human being. Raquelle Lee is Marie Ballard,
Speaker 1: the older sister of the family. She was a performer
Speaker 1: on the first season of The Amanda Show and would
Speaker 1: later voice Nubia on the Proud Family and appear on
Speaker 1: The Hugh Lees and The Bernie mac Show. She also
Speaker 1: recently appeared on Disney for the Proud Family reboot Louder
Speaker 1: and Prouder. Mark Curry is Norton Ballard, their father and
Speaker 1: a bumbling scientific genius. Mark was a tea. The character
Speaker 1: not Mark Curry. He's neither bump. He might be a
Speaker 1: scientific genius. I don't know, but he's not bumbling, but
Speaker 1: Norton Valor was. Mark was a TGF standout for his
Speaker 1: hit show Hanging with Mister Cooper that ran for five seasons.
Speaker 1: You also see him in the movie Armageddon and on
Speaker 1: shows like See Dad Run, Living Single, The Jamie Fox Show,
Speaker 1: and Family Reunion with Tiamury and then Don Lewis played
Speaker 1: his wife, Marigo Balor. She is best remembered for her
Speaker 1: time on the show A Different World, where she played
Speaker 1: Jalisa Vinson. In addition to that, this is a very
Speaker 1: fun fact, she was also one of the composers of
Speaker 1: the theme song, which is really cool. But her first
Speaker 1: job ever was in one of my favorite movies of
Speaker 1: all time, Keenan Ivory Wayans at his best writing and
Speaker 1: directing a film that is hold your gut funny from
Speaker 1: beginning to end called I'm Going to Get You Suck Up.
Speaker 1: Very important in the Fidell family, and she's been in
Speaker 1: so many things, including hanging with mister Cooper with Mark
Speaker 1: Curry before doing this movie, girlfriends, Young Rock and better
Speaker 1: Call Saul. But she can now be heard as an
Speaker 1: exceptionally busy voiceover actress. She is. She works all the time,
Speaker 1: most notably as Bernice Hibbert on The Simpsons, but also
Speaker 1: on Star Trek, Lower Decks, Futurama, World of Warcraft, Doc McStuffins,
Speaker 1: and is Detective Terry Lee on Spider Man the animated series. Yes,
Speaker 1: she works all the time, but seriously, go watch I'm
Speaker 1: Gonna Get You suck It. It is so good. Now
Speaker 1: very important here because you know how much we dwell
Speaker 1: on this, but online you get a very different number.
Speaker 1: But on Disney Plus this movie runs a very short,
Speaker 1: mercifully seventy nine minutes, which is great, which is in
Speaker 1: contrast to the number listed on most of the Internet
Speaker 1: sources which say ninety minutes on the dot. But that
Speaker 1: is not true. Lies, people, these are lies. Do not
Speaker 1: believe them. This was no bull's eye. Don't listen to them,
Speaker 1: I call Pants on Fire. The movie is directed by
Speaker 1: Neil Israel, whose filmography is insane. He directed some of
Speaker 1: the classic eighty adult theme movies like Bachelor Party with
Speaker 1: Tom Hanks, which if you go back and watch, is
Speaker 1: not good and Moving Violations, and also wrote the first
Speaker 1: Police Academy movie, Real Genius with Val Kilmer, which is
Speaker 1: one of the greatest films ever made in the history
Speaker 1: of the world, and a few Mary Kate and Ashley
Speaker 1: Olson movies as well. He also go on to direct
Speaker 1: I'm Blowing Past Mary Kate Nashley Olsen by the Way,
Speaker 1: because nothing will beat Real Genius. He also goes on
Speaker 1: to direct TV shows like The Wonder Years, Lizzy Maguire,
Speaker 1: Nash Bridges, and Phil of the Future. Such an eclectic career.
Speaker 1: Neil Israel has been around forever, which made me wonder
Speaker 1: about this movie a little bit because it just didn't
Speaker 1: look good anyway. I'm not gonna dwell. I tried to
Speaker 1: watch it as an eleven year old, and the eleven
Speaker 1: oar old of me was sitting there going, Wow, this
Speaker 1: movie doesn't look good. And then poof Point is written
Speaker 1: by the dcom daddy friend of the podcast. Great guy,
Speaker 1: Stu Krieger. Go check out our interview with him. He's
Speaker 1: amazingly fascinated and we hope to get him back soon.
Speaker 1: So we're not gonna say anything about the writing because
Speaker 1: it really kind. I mean, the writing wasn't great, but
Speaker 1: I don't think this was Stu through and through. I
Speaker 1: don't know why. I bet you there's a story, but
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. It didn't feel like
Speaker 1: a Stu Krieger movie. It did, frankly, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: how many have we watch now? There's been a bunch,
Speaker 1: so yeah, it didn't. Yeah, and we want to have
Speaker 1: him back on him. I'd like to talk to him
Speaker 1: about this. It's also worth noting that Darlene Marie, Taj's
Speaker 1: mom was a producer on this movie, something she would
Speaker 1: only do three times, and the other two movies are
Speaker 1: Seventeen Again and Double Wedding with her Daughters. Okay, So
Speaker 1: getting back to what you said in the beginning, So
Speaker 1: you said that we've only and this is right, we've
Speaker 1: only really seen this in quints where the actors talking
Speaker 1: directly to the camera, which then led to us talking
Speaker 1: about a couple times Parker Lewis can't lose, which you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to go and watch this if we can
Speaker 1: even find it anywhere. But it's it starts with Taj
Speaker 1: speaking directly to the camera, but just a single shot
Speaker 1: of him, like he doesn't move, He's in front of
Speaker 1: a chalkboard, and he's just addressing the camera directly. Here's
Speaker 1: my theory about this, and here's why I call it
Speaker 1: the Shawn Aston theory. So one of my favorite movies
Speaker 1: growing up with Shawn Aston was Whitewater Summer, and I
Speaker 1: had a chance to talk to him about Whitewater Summer.
Speaker 1: White Water Summer's this is going to do this very quickly.
Speaker 1: It's a movie about a bunch of kids that have
Speaker 1: nothing in common that go on a camping trip. It's
Speaker 1: like a summer program with Kevin Bacon as the lead
Speaker 1: of the camp and Kevin Bacon kind of turns out
Speaker 1: to be crazy and all this shenanigans happens and the
Speaker 1: kids have to essentially first beat up Kevin Bacon and
Speaker 1: then rescue the fact that it's really a Bonker's movie.
Speaker 1: But I had a chance to talk to Sean about that,
Speaker 1: and throughout the movie they keep cutting to him talking
Speaker 1: to the camera about the movie, but he looks older,
Speaker 1: and so I said to him. I was like, hey, Sean,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about this, and he went, well,
Speaker 1: what happened was they cut the movie together and they
Speaker 1: didn't like how the story was flowing. So like two
Speaker 1: years later, I had to come back and shoot these interstitials.
Speaker 1: And with the way this was shot with Taj, it
Speaker 1: almost seemed like they put the movie together and the
Speaker 1: story didn't quite work.
Speaker 3: They needed to help out with some astra and.
Speaker 1: They shot extra things with Taj to stick in throughout
Speaker 1: the movie to keep the story going. Yeah. I could
Speaker 1: totally be wrong.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, but that would make a lot of sense.
Speaker 1: Didn't it feel like that a little bit? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Even the end.
Speaker 2: I mean I don't want to jump forward, but the
Speaker 2: end where they've came back from a holiday.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, it didn't. None of it made any sense.
Speaker 1: And that's the only thing going through my head was
Speaker 1: they cut this movie together. It did not work the
Speaker 1: way they had it cut. They went to Taj with
Speaker 1: these interstitials, they did extra shooting days, and then they
Speaker 1: cut them in through the movie. Because he does there's
Speaker 1: certain ones where he's explaining things like, well, the only
Speaker 1: way we then got my parents, who were now seven
Speaker 1: years old together is by locking him in a room
Speaker 1: and making him work it out, and then they cut
Speaker 1: to after so you didn't have to see what he
Speaker 1: was just talking about.
Speaker 2: It was right, strange, Yes, it was just explained through words,
Speaker 2: no visual to see any of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's not even like they had him in
Speaker 1: different locations talking to the camera. It was just him
Speaker 1: in front of a chalkboard in the city. I think
Speaker 1: he's in the same outfit the whole time. I could
Speaker 1: be wrong, right, Yes, so it just seems like something
Speaker 1: they threw in last second, but we could be wrong.
Speaker 1: Let's start the poof point at the beginning. So again
Speaker 1: starts with TODJ giving us some straight to camera intro
Speaker 1: an overview asking if we can believe our parents ever
Speaker 1: used to be young, which is a question we've all
Speaker 1: thought before. You know you you see your parents. We've
Speaker 1: talked about this on Podmetrol and I've talked about this
Speaker 1: with friends where it's it's a beautiful and strange day
Speaker 1: when you finally see your parents as humans and not
Speaker 1: just parents. You realize they're flawed and they're just like you,
Speaker 1: and they're trying to figure it out the entire way,
Speaker 1: and and you obviously don't get that when you're fourteen,
Speaker 1: and you can't get that fourteen. So the premise great
Speaker 1: kind of premise, like what would your parents be like
Speaker 1: back to the future kind of.
Speaker 2: Or thinking about your parents as a teenager as the
Speaker 2: as the age that you are currently.
Speaker 3: That is a weird thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, my parents aren't going through the first you know,
Speaker 2: jitters of being around a boy you like or finding yourself.
Speaker 3: Right, things like that.
Speaker 2: You just don't really ever want to see your parents
Speaker 2: that way.
Speaker 1: And when you're a kid, you're you're absolutely convinced that
Speaker 1: you're the first person to ever experience any of these
Speaker 1: emotions that you're going No one's ever.
Speaker 2: Felt like, yes, that that is so so great about
Speaker 2: being Yeah, it is right.
Speaker 1: You're just I'm the only way.
Speaker 2: Your own world, in your own world, nobody understands me.
Speaker 1: And never will I hear this. You might be able
Speaker 1: to tell me this. I hear this happens when you
Speaker 1: become a parent too. All of a sudden, you're the
Speaker 1: first person ever parent. So it's like, here's how we
Speaker 1: do it, and your parents like, yeah, we've done this
Speaker 1: thirty two times and like, yeah, yes, but we do
Speaker 1: it a little bit differently. So yes, it's I think
Speaker 1: it always switches. Yes, so we we've all thought before.
Speaker 1: And he says he's actually lived with his parents as
Speaker 1: kids and that this is his story, which includes then
Speaker 1: instantly seeing his parents acting like toddlers, which is very
Speaker 1: off putting.
Speaker 2: Right off the beginning, I instantly went, oh, right, oh, no, right.
Speaker 1: Oh it did.
Speaker 3: I don't like this. I don't like it already, and
Speaker 3: I'm two minutes in.
Speaker 2: I agree terrible saying that, but it was that scene
Speaker 2: with her on the ground, whining and like a baby. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and it might be because I have a toddler who
Speaker 2: kind of does like that to me right now, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, no, I cannot take any additional It
Speaker 2: might be because of that, but yes, right from the start,
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 1: Just and I you know, if they did want to
Speaker 1: suck us in also kind of spoils the end, if
Speaker 1: I'm honest with you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, to see these grown people acting as the toddlers,
Speaker 2: it did kind of take away from when they do
Speaker 2: progress to that age.
Speaker 1: I agree. So then we see that, and then he
Speaker 1: kind of says, but you know, where we don't want
Speaker 1: to start there, and so boom. We go back to
Speaker 1: the beginning of the story, where young Eddie and Marie
Speaker 1: are brothers and sisters. They are stuck with their two
Speaker 1: very uncool and uptight scientists inventor parents who have the
Speaker 1: most irresponsible ideas. They make the house and neighborhood shake.
Speaker 1: They obviously have you know, they're causing explosions in the house.
Speaker 1: We find We will find out a little bit later
Speaker 1: that the university they worked for specifically had them build
Speaker 1: their laboratory in their home to get them off campus
Speaker 1: because of what they're doing is soo in a neighborhood. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so put it in a residential neighborhood with your children, right.
Speaker 1: So they're really awful parents. There's no other way to
Speaker 1: say it. They are just neglectful, awful parents. They immediately
Speaker 1: have forgotten that both the kids. So Taj's character is
Speaker 1: very smart and has skipped a grade, so he's in
Speaker 1: the same grade as his older sister, and they are
Speaker 1: both graduating from middle school. Both the parents have completely
Speaker 1: forgot that they're graduating that day.
Speaker 2: So sad, so sad, especially because we are in graduation
Speaker 2: season right now. You see the balloons in every and
Speaker 2: every grocery store. Right now, it is such a big
Speaker 2: deal for kids to go up into that next level.
Speaker 2: My little nephew just went up. He's now in middle school,
Speaker 2: and I mean it's huge. You cannot imagine forgetting.
Speaker 1: That completely and totally forgot. They forgot. Not only that,
Speaker 1: but they lie about the fact that they forgot. Yes,
Speaker 1: and then they're like, no, we remembered. Then about an
Speaker 1: hour later, the father forgets again, right, and she has
Speaker 1: to remind him again.
Speaker 2: And the worst part is there the kids are anticipating this,
Speaker 2: They fully know this is gonna happen. This is how
Speaker 2: bad they are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're awful. And then at the graduation, the parents
Speaker 1: don't even pay any attention to the graduation itself. They're
Speaker 1: focused on the laptops. They're missing the kid's commencement. And
Speaker 1: they don't know their their kids friend's name. They know
Speaker 1: nothing about them, like, literally nothing about their kids, their children.
Speaker 1: They are bad, awful awful parents are the Now, Okay,
Speaker 1: let's if we're ranking, where do you put these up
Speaker 1: with me? You think about brink Dad, But he was
Speaker 1: he was doing it for a reason.
Speaker 2: He was cranky. He wasn't necessarily no the worst dad.
Speaker 2: He was just cranky. The Quint's parents, they were overwhelmed.
Speaker 2: They weren't great, but so.
Speaker 1: Perfect wasn't great?
Speaker 3: Pixel perfect? Dad was really self centered.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but this, but at least he was trying. He
Speaker 1: was like having meals with his kid and kind of
Speaker 1: trying to do stuff. These to me, were the worst
Speaker 1: parents we've seen on camera so far.
Speaker 3: This is like both these babies were oops to Daisy babies.
Speaker 1: Right, they were both. They weren't even born on purpose.
Speaker 1: These were these were scientific experiment kids who happened to
Speaker 1: be born exactly if they couldn't get any worse. We
Speaker 1: also learned that the dad hates dogs, because forgetting your
Speaker 1: children isn't a bad enough trope. We also hate dogs
Speaker 1: and keeps calling their dog a mongrel. Maybe maybe don't
Speaker 1: get a dog? Right, don't get a dog happened?
Speaker 2: I thought at some point we were going to find
Speaker 2: a reason of why that happened. We find a reason
Speaker 2: why he doesn't like dogs. But why did you get one?
Speaker 1: Yes, what's the point you don't like your kid? Well,
Speaker 1: maybe they wanted the dog to raise the kids because
Speaker 1: they weren't going to do it, which is possible. Another
Speaker 1: thing we learned here is that Eddie plays guitar. Now
Speaker 1: I'm gonna mention this once and then we won't harp
Speaker 1: on it.
Speaker 3: I don't believe that.
Speaker 1: Todd's a great actor, Mark Curry, good actor. This is
Speaker 1: the worst fake guitar playing ever. I mean, it's bad,
Speaker 1: it's ritten. Why not just don't shoot their hands? Yeah,
Speaker 1: or just do an insert of the hands of somebody
Speaker 1: who's at least knows how to hold a guitar. I mean,
Speaker 1: they literally don't even look like they know how to
Speaker 1: hold a.
Speaker 2: Guitar, and how good they are makes it worse. Right,
Speaker 2: you know what you're hearing makes it worse. Yes, it
Speaker 2: would be one thing if he was to a guitar plane.
Speaker 1: Or can few chords.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just just interested in it, interested in it?
Speaker 1: Right, they are shredding on the guitar while literally not
Speaker 1: moving their fingers. I mean, it's it's it.
Speaker 3: That is, when I take.
Speaker 2: My seatbelt in the car and I strum on my
Speaker 2: seatbelt for my air guitar, that's.
Speaker 3: As good as it happens.
Speaker 1: Okay, wait, please tell me that you're not driving at
Speaker 1: this point, because that's a I'm a passenger.
Speaker 2: I'm a passenger and I do all my good moves
Speaker 2: and Jordan gets all of it, like, great.
Speaker 1: That this is why you want to go back to
Speaker 1: when you first met him, so you could just sit
Speaker 1: there and play play fake guitar for him forever. But
Speaker 1: it's not again, good actors, this was not good, but
Speaker 1: they love it. But his parents are so science focused
Speaker 1: that they don't want this for him. Obviously, he's, like
Speaker 1: you said, he skipped grad he's very smart. But the
Speaker 1: next year in high school he wants to join the
Speaker 1: band Urban.
Speaker 3: Slugs another great name.
Speaker 1: Great did your parents want you to learn anything when
Speaker 1: you were little? They seemed you seem to be very artistic.
Speaker 1: Did they push you towards that or was more like,
Speaker 1: go find you and we're good with it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Actually, when I wanted to start acting, they told me no,
Speaker 2: they didn't want that for me because it just was
Speaker 2: not you know, they felt my grades were going to
Speaker 2: take me somewhere else. You know, they just that was
Speaker 2: when you know, actors were getting emancipated from their families,
Speaker 2: suing their family. There was a lot of kind of
Speaker 2: crazy stuff happening financially with families in the industry, and
Speaker 2: so they were not super stoked I really had to
Speaker 2: break them down and get them to just give me
Speaker 2: just at least a background, a background agent, I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, and so then it trickled into doing more
Speaker 2: and more.
Speaker 3: But yeah, they were not super stoked.
Speaker 1: They did. They not see your your guitar playing your
Speaker 1: They didn't.
Speaker 3: See the guitar playing because that was kind of not
Speaker 3: that wasn't.
Speaker 1: You hadn't hold that yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hadn't own that yet.
Speaker 1: My parents were were the kind of the same. They
Speaker 1: didn't want me to be an actor, but they were
Speaker 1: very supportive of everything I did, so that was sweet.
Speaker 1: Unlike these parents, we just were bad at all. No,
Speaker 1: the ballet kids, they love their parents, but they're embarrassed
Speaker 1: by them. That's a typical thing that everybody loves their parents,
Speaker 1: but it's embarrassed by them when they're kids. They asked
Speaker 1: them not to talk about science, but to talk about
Speaker 1: Little bow Wow and Shaquille O'Neal. They just wish they
Speaker 1: had normal parents like their neighbor who every time they
Speaker 1: look outside are like perfectly throwing the football or that
Speaker 1: kind of thing, and they know much like now, this
Speaker 1: this is where it got real for me, because this
Speaker 1: was very much like me growing up. They knew that
Speaker 1: their mom and dad were in the middle of trying
Speaker 1: to create a time machine, and today was the big
Speaker 1: test for two goldfish. Now that's happened to me one
Speaker 1: hundred times. Okay, yes, So this is where we then
Speaker 1: go into their lab, which is probably where the vast
Speaker 1: majority of the budget went, and it looks like it's
Speaker 1: kind of a cross between Bill and I the science
Speaker 1: guy and Pee Wee's playhouse. And it just doesn't look good.
Speaker 3: No, it didn't. It didn't.
Speaker 2: And we have seen so many amazing sets already amazing
Speaker 2: the dcoms we've watched.
Speaker 3: Yes, this was the shocking part.
Speaker 2: This was when it really was kind of oh, yeah.
Speaker 3: What what happened here?
Speaker 1: I agree?
Speaker 2: You said you could tell that's where they put I mean,
Speaker 2: most of the movie happens in this little realm, and
Speaker 2: it just didn't look great.
Speaker 1: That then led me to a question, and I wanted
Speaker 1: to ask you because I couldn't remember. Is this the
Speaker 1: first movie we've ever seen where there's nothing in a school?
Speaker 3: Well, the graduation was in a school.
Speaker 1: I guess technically for like two seconds that well, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: they did the thing with the Yeah.
Speaker 3: It was a really quick scene.
Speaker 1: So it's a start of summer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the theater of the school that they're graduating, and
Speaker 2: then you see you see which I don't know any
Speaker 2: schools that have this, where they have snacks and refreshments
Speaker 2: and things.
Speaker 3: For after after graduate graduation, which.
Speaker 2: Is not normal, but that's the only time. And then
Speaker 2: it's in and out and you don't see the school.
Speaker 1: You're right though, so it's summer, so that's why you
Speaker 1: wouldn't see the school. Okay, that's on me. Then that's
Speaker 1: that totally makes sense. The time travel trial doesn't go
Speaker 1: as planned when the mongrel dog how Dairy, who literally
Speaker 1: was the cutest dog in the world and just lying
Speaker 1: there trying to be yet maybe just love me Dad,
Speaker 1: chases a cockroach and then that leads to a part
Speaker 1: opening up on one of the machines that somehow looked
Speaker 1: like it was from the sixties, and he pulls the
Speaker 1: thing out. We don't know what the part does, but
Speaker 1: the dog now takes it, and so when the experiment starts,
Speaker 1: a fatal error has hit and instead of anything happening,
Speaker 1: so we don't it looks like nothing happens with the fish, right,
Speaker 1: and then we start to see them. Once they leave,
Speaker 1: then this voice on the machine says, two fish whatever
Speaker 1: deaged by however, So that's what the poof point is,
Speaker 1: which is a scientific term I believe invented for the
Speaker 1: book and the show, because I don't know if poof
Speaker 1: point is an actual scientific term. Is where the fish
Speaker 1: will at least we learned this with the fish. When
Speaker 1: they age enough, they just disappear. That's the brief point
Speaker 1: they poof out of existence. So we go to the graduation.
Speaker 1: The parents stand out by having horrible social skills. Even
Speaker 1: performing a scientific experiment with the principal's glasses, they set
Speaker 1: him on fire. Everyone in the entire building hates the
Speaker 1: fact that they're dorky scientific people. But there's good news.
Speaker 1: Good news is coming out of this. Eddie has a
Speaker 1: chance to be to audition for Urban Slug. He has
Speaker 1: one chance to join the band.
Speaker 3: Yes, the audition of a lifetime.
Speaker 1: The audition of it. Now, there's a question here in
Speaker 1: our notes where they'd like me to ask you if
Speaker 1: you were ever in a band. But I already know
Speaker 1: the answer to this, and I'm going to answer for you,
Speaker 1: which is you had your rock band band? Yes, that
Speaker 1: one of the it was like Mel Kardashian or whatever.
Speaker 4: I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: Was play fake drums, right, yes, and yeah, so I
Speaker 1: know I'm not already getting to know you. This is
Speaker 1: I know the answers.
Speaker 3: There you go, fake, bannon it through and through.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 3: Bake it till you make it, bake it till.
Speaker 1: You make it.
Speaker 3: My version is what they did in this movie, and.
Speaker 1: It never really man never really made it. I think
Speaker 1: I already told you about my first band, Rude Awakening.
Speaker 1: I didn't know how to play any instruments, and I
Speaker 1: also couldn't sing. Back at the lab, the ballards realize
Speaker 1: they come back, the fish are gone. So, like any
Speaker 1: good scientists, they instead of figuring that out, just try
Speaker 1: the machine again. Yes, but instead.
Speaker 3: Of don't even look for parts missing nothing.
Speaker 1: Just not check any wires from our nineteen sixties stuff.
Speaker 1: Let's go back into Bill and I I the science guys,
Speaker 1: spinny room and just press enter again. Right. The machine
Speaker 1: then lassos the parents and spins it around and turns
Speaker 1: them younger. So now they are on and let's call
Speaker 1: it the poof point scale. They're starting to poof.
Speaker 3: They're starting to so.
Speaker 1: They're twenty one years old. Now the kids raced down
Speaker 1: of the lab feeling the explosion of what just happened.
Speaker 1: And I don't want to not gonna harp too much
Speaker 1: on the acting. But now the two leads are playing
Speaker 1: twenty one years old, and they're doing that by saying
Speaker 1: things like totally cool and slamming in a slightly higher
Speaker 1: pitch voice. The mom even thinks it's a practical joke
Speaker 1: being played on her. And when they ask, hey, who's
Speaker 1: the president, they say the ron Man, meaning Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 1: He's their political hero, Nancy Reagan's hot. It is a weird,
Speaker 1: unhinged kind of scene.
Speaker 3: The mirror, the mirror that now they look.
Speaker 1: Into they can see themselves.
Speaker 2: They can see themselves, but never happens again. They don't
Speaker 2: ever get put in front of a mirror again.
Speaker 1: You don't get to see them younger. Maybe one of
Speaker 1: their toun't you get to see Mark Curry one more time?
Speaker 1: I I don't remember that, maybe not because they don't
Speaker 1: want to dage them again. But this is where we
Speaker 1: learn something very important, which is where when they do
Speaker 1: poof or whatever it is that they're calling until the
Speaker 1: final poof, which is different than Europe's the final Countdown,
Speaker 1: which is a great song, but before they get to
Speaker 1: the poof they're gonna every time they deage, they forget
Speaker 1: everything they just knew, right, right, So this is an
Speaker 1: important thing. So the kids try to knock some sense
Speaker 1: in a mom and dad, but they're just two happy
Speaker 1: twenty one year olds who obviously don't ask to see
Speaker 1: a newspaper. They aren't at all phased by the technology
Speaker 1: in the two thousands of their house until they finally
Speaker 1: see a computer. So many ways they could have realized
Speaker 1: that they were in modern times, but yeah, just didn't
Speaker 1: do any of that. But one hole is again kind
Speaker 1: of fixed. When you want to say, well, just go
Speaker 1: look at yourselves in the mirror, you can see your
Speaker 1: two forty year old people. But they go look at
Speaker 1: themselves in the mirror and they see they're twenty one
Speaker 1: years old. For some reason, Mark Curry is dressed like prints,
Speaker 1: which I don't.
Speaker 2: Understands like Prince, I don't why, I mean, I think
Speaker 2: to put more hair on him. I'm guessing as why.
Speaker 3: Vick was used. It just was strange, Yeah, I agreed,
Speaker 3: strange choice.
Speaker 1: And then, like all twenty one year olds do, in
Speaker 1: the presence of two young teenagers. They start to tongue
Speaker 1: kiss in front of the children. The big problem is
Speaker 1: if they're they're starting to realize, or at least the
Speaker 1: kids are starting to realize if the fish have poofed
Speaker 1: out of existence, when are the parents going to poof?
Speaker 1: They're starting to realize that this is a very bad thing,
Speaker 1: and they the parents get into it and have calculated
Speaker 1: very nonchalantly by the way, they started to kind of
Speaker 1: realize that something's wrong, but have calculated they're going to
Speaker 1: disappear the next evening, hence the title the poof point? Right,
Speaker 1: do you think there was a better title for this movie,
Speaker 1: time Flies or maybe Back to the Future.
Speaker 3: I mean the poof points. I don't know.
Speaker 2: It just didn't feel part of the movie really. I
Speaker 2: know that they are going to poof, I guess, and
Speaker 2: go away, but there's just so many I think more
Speaker 2: creative ways that they could have explained.
Speaker 1: I think they were going for kind of big, goofy
Speaker 1: fun romp like Big with Tom Hanks had some goofy points,
Speaker 1: but was also kind of a morality play about what
Speaker 1: it takes to be an adult a child losing his innocence,
Speaker 1: whereas vice versa with Judge Reinhold and Fred Savage, which
Speaker 1: came out around the same time. That was more of
Speaker 1: a goofy switch your Body's fun kind of romp, and
Speaker 1: I think that's what they were going for here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it just kind of never worked. It all felt really strange.
Speaker 2: It did, it did, There was a lot of other
Speaker 2: things that I think was hard to get over.
Speaker 3: Yeah, to be able to accept this name of the
Speaker 3: movie too.
Speaker 1: I agree, And again Sabrina said this in the beginning.
Speaker 1: I'll say this too. We don't want to be crapping
Speaker 1: on these movies. We really don't. It's we love going
Speaker 1: down the rabbit hole of the dcom movies. Not all
Speaker 1: of them are going to be amazing, right, And you
Speaker 1: can see from the reviews and from the Rotten Tomatoes,
Speaker 1: this was one that just people didn't like, right, And
Speaker 1: I think rightfully so. And it's probably one of those
Speaker 1: things where it's no one person's fault. It was just
Speaker 1: not a great project. But it appears at this point
Speaker 1: that the parents have accepted the truth. We get a
Speaker 1: montage of them now at twenty one years old, working
Speaker 1: to try to fix everything, and then bingo, they figure
Speaker 1: it out. But just when it looks like everything's going
Speaker 1: to work out. They start to glitch, which is the
Speaker 1: first time we've seen these kind of special effects. It's
Speaker 1: almost flubbery where it's like WHOA made Yeah, and hiccups. Yes,
Speaker 1: they hiccup, and they faded and out of existence.
Speaker 3: Makes me worried to ever hiccup again.
Speaker 1: Right, well, hey, if I can hiccup, maybe not five
Speaker 1: years off my life. That wouldn't be the worst thing.
Speaker 1: So we know now. It's also putting it in our mind.
Speaker 1: They showed it with the fish, now they're showing it
Speaker 1: with the parents. We know now that when we see
Speaker 1: this kind of matrixy glitch, when the glitching ends, they're
Speaker 1: going to have deaged again again and once again forgotten
Speaker 1: everything that they had just learned. So they were just
Speaker 1: on the realm or the cusp of figuring out how
Speaker 1: to fix themselves. Boom, they've deaged again and now they
Speaker 1: can't remember. And now they're fourteen, which is the same
Speaker 1: age essentially as their kids. So which again you think
Speaker 1: this is where the movie's really going to take off,
Speaker 1: because now you've got a bunch of fourteen year olds
Speaker 1: to get.
Speaker 2: Yes, I felt that I started to get on board now, Okay,
Speaker 2: that would be crazy to hap my mom.
Speaker 3: Be the age that I am, that would be bonkers.
Speaker 1: Nuts, And so you think that's going to happen, but
Speaker 1: not really. This is where we find out that the
Speaker 1: mom and dad actually grew up together. They had a
Speaker 1: crush on each other when they were in school. But again,
Speaker 1: the biggest problem that they have is that they've forgotten everything.
Speaker 1: So once again their kids have to explain everything that's
Speaker 1: going on, and it just feels like they've now put
Speaker 1: themselves in a loop where this is going to keep
Speaker 1: happening and for the story starts to drag. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: it seems like, well then we've got to fix this
Speaker 1: right now, because this is good and you just know
Speaker 1: it's going to keep happening. I was just the first
Speaker 1: time it happened, I was like, Okay, so they're gonna
Speaker 1: just about to figure it out again, and it's gonna
Speaker 1: happen again. I knew this was gonna come up again.
Speaker 1: What did you think of the acting as the parents deaged?
Speaker 3: Ah, it was.
Speaker 2: I mean I kept having to remind myself at this
Speaker 2: point Disney movie, Yep, getting that big act over the top. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I was having to now remind myself versus really
Speaker 2: being able to kind of let go and.
Speaker 3: Just enjoy it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where I was. And again, it was a
Speaker 2: lot of things. By this point in the movie, we're
Speaker 2: just not really adding up and and it wasn't easy
Speaker 2: at this point to really watch.
Speaker 3: So I think that affected like the big acting.
Speaker 2: Normally, I love that. I love comedy that goes over
Speaker 2: the top. I love physical comedy, you know, all of
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, and this just was at this
Speaker 2: point I was already just okay, it's.
Speaker 1: It's one of the things for me is the phone test.
Speaker 1: I do not like to split focus. I can't split focus,
Speaker 1: but I don't like doing it. So if a movie
Speaker 1: or a television show or anything keeps my attention, that's
Speaker 1: where my focus is. I don't pull ot my phone
Speaker 1: and look at emails, or play video games or do
Speaker 1: anything else. As I'm watching, right, And I was doing
Speaker 1: all of them, all of of im in the background.
Speaker 1: After a while, Yeah, I just zip through it the
Speaker 1: second time. I mean, yeah, yes, same, same. Yeah. We
Speaker 1: also learned that teenage Norton also plays you won't believe
Speaker 1: this the guitar, and he is a as amazing as
Speaker 1: his son and be as bad as holding it as
Speaker 1: his son. I mean, it just looks bad. Yeah, But
Speaker 1: this also brings us right back to reminding us that
Speaker 1: Eddie's audition is coming up for Urban Slugs Urban Slugs,
Speaker 1: and so all the focus has been on the parents
Speaker 1: having a crush on each other and constantly getting together
Speaker 1: and breaking up and doing all this stuff. But it's
Speaker 1: also trying to show that Taj and his dad have
Speaker 1: a lot in common actually and are trying to find
Speaker 1: common ground. They do that more than they do the
Speaker 1: daughter and the mom.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the daughter and the mom's they're their meeting point.
Speaker 2: And their commonality was crushes on boys.
Speaker 1: Boys. That was it. Boys, That was it? Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it doesn't really come out until later she
Speaker 2: hears the mom's is shoes with Norton, but she doesn't
Speaker 2: expose her crush on TAJA's friend.
Speaker 3: That comes up.
Speaker 1: Oh, don't even get me into Taj's friend. You can
Speaker 1: bleep this. But so then, of course what happens next
Speaker 1: is the parents run away. When Eddie does finally catch
Speaker 1: up with his dad, a obvious stunt double grabs his
Speaker 1: son's bike and starts jamming on this thing, just jumping
Speaker 1: off and down stuff like this guy. It's incredible and
Speaker 1: you think, well, this is going to come to a
Speaker 1: big bike chascene.
Speaker 2: Never seen again, No no, never seen again, Never again.
Speaker 1: He's obviously he's very upset because it looks like he
Speaker 1: has just broken up again with his future wife is
Speaker 1: now girlfriend. And that's when we find our gold, the
Speaker 1: wife who's apparently drunk on milkshakes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was strange, hugging a jukebox, hugging a juke
Speaker 2: box at a diner, sad about her breakup with Norton.
Speaker 1: And the whole second act is kind of about the
Speaker 1: parents teenage love, which is a strange detour and weird
Speaker 1: pill to swallows.
Speaker 3: It's Norton in a very bad light. He is very
Speaker 3: just doesn't think girls can do anything.
Speaker 2: You know, she's fighting for him to to accept how.
Speaker 3: Smart she is.
Speaker 2: This is like, this part was really strange to me. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I guess because they just really don't lean into that
Speaker 2: with movies anymore.
Speaker 1: But it's also there's supposed to be fourteen at this point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: You don't walk around at fourteen going like girls can't
Speaker 1: do stuff.
Speaker 2: You don't know that doesn't have little kids think that boys.
Speaker 2: You know, boys can't do this, boys can't wear beans,
Speaker 2: you know, think.
Speaker 3: Like little kids do that. A fourteen year old.
Speaker 2: Is not going to say any of that stuff. So
Speaker 2: that started to get Yeah, age wise.
Speaker 3: Where are we at?
Speaker 1: I agree? And Marigold, of course finally opens up to
Speaker 1: her daughter about everything. No, I'm kidding, she opens up
Speaker 1: to her daughter's enemy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, another random character thrown in there.
Speaker 3: Why did we need her? We didn't.
Speaker 1: We didn't at all. But through all the rough season romance,
Speaker 1: the fourteen year olds think they figured out what they
Speaker 1: need to fix the time machine. But it's three o'clock.
Speaker 1: That's right, it's time for the Slugs audition. He's also
Speaker 1: apparently auditioning to be the third bass player in the band.
Speaker 1: It's a nineteen piece band, it looks like, and there's
Speaker 1: like two bass players already. So I'm assuming in my
Speaker 1: head again, I'm trying to justify everything. So in my head,
Speaker 1: the bass player was a senior and graduating the following year,
Speaker 1: and they were auditioning his replacement.
Speaker 3: That's how I got added another.
Speaker 1: I had to else did I love them? I had to?
Speaker 2: So there were so many storylines, so many mini storylins.
Speaker 3: Drop this movie. Why would you do that?
Speaker 1: Because Billy loved playing bass. But Billy's a mathematician. He
Speaker 1: got at MIT and he's putting his bass down forever.
Speaker 1: This is actually his last Slugs performance. I have a
Speaker 1: whole backstory for Billy.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, But it.
Speaker 1: Also looks like the girls that Marigold ran into and
Speaker 1: opened her heart up to at the diner turned the
Speaker 1: audition into a school wide party. And here was the
Speaker 1: thing that I thought was funny. I could totally be wrong,
Speaker 1: but the best friend again, the best friend comes and says, hey,
Speaker 1: I've got a bunch of cases of root beer. And
Speaker 1: I also saw some people have some bags of popcorn.
Speaker 1: And in my head that was the writer. Whether that
Speaker 1: was Stew's line or not getting through cases of beer
Speaker 1: and bags of weed, that's how I got that in
Speaker 1: my head. Because nobody says and I've got some bags
Speaker 1: of popcorn. That was a nice wink wink, we got
Speaker 1: weed and beer.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, Okay, I did catch the root beer.
Speaker 3: I did not think bags of popcorn.
Speaker 1: Okay, wink wink, Yeah, sticky, sticky, icky weed, that's what.
Speaker 3: That Okay, oh okay.
Speaker 1: The crowd also includes one white, redheaded student with long braids,
Speaker 1: and I am amazed if your entire Sabrina Sees is
Speaker 1: not about this random obviously tripped on acid. I mean
Speaker 1: this kid dropped mescaline before he ever came to this
Speaker 1: eighth grade party.
Speaker 2: This was the most non Disney character I have seen
Speaker 2: in a d coon.
Speaker 3: This could not.
Speaker 1: Have been.
Speaker 3: More off of what you expect on the channel. He
Speaker 3: it was.
Speaker 2: He was such a strange character. Yes, yes, and again
Speaker 2: not needed. He didn't add anything to this movie. No, no,
Speaker 2: no offense to him. Sure, he's a very nice guy.
Speaker 2: This character did not add anything. It was weird and
Speaker 2: again just another thing.
Speaker 3: I just feel like I was just thing.
Speaker 2: Ponging around in this this movie, just like ding ding dinging.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to take everything in thinking it's gonna matter.
Speaker 2: None of it does anyway, moving forward.
Speaker 1: It also felt like they just kind of pointed at
Speaker 1: people and went, all right, you're a weird looking kid,
Speaker 1: came here, came here. I want you to walk by
Speaker 1: and pretend you're just on ass background. It was like
Speaker 1: I am on as it was. Yeah. So the house
Speaker 1: is now overtaken with kid partiers, all while the parents
Speaker 1: work on their machine with just two and a half
Speaker 1: hours left, and as if the proof point doesn't even exist,
Speaker 1: the Urban Slugs play with a carefree Eddie and they rock.
Speaker 1: Now the band, I bet you that was a real band.
Speaker 1: Somehow I thought so too.
Speaker 2: The girl looked like she was actually a singing singer,
Speaker 2: looked like she had a record deal.
Speaker 1: So it was it was, okay, we've got we've got
Speaker 1: a producer, say it was because that looked like a
Speaker 1: real band.
Speaker 3: Was the kid, guys?
Speaker 2: Was the kid with the red Joey fatone red match
Speaker 2: in front? Was he a real part of the band
Speaker 2: because he was also acting? So I wasn't sure if
Speaker 2: he was actually a part of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure he was part of the band. Okay,
Speaker 1: so he's jamming with the Urban Slugs. He's playing really well.
Speaker 1: But now the neighbors. Here's here's the strange thing. Okay.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if it's this scene or a
Speaker 1: scene before, but at one point they call the daughter,
Speaker 1: the ballad's daughter into their house and they say, we
Speaker 1: want to show you all the damage that your parents
Speaker 1: are doing.
Speaker 3: And the first thing they show this is before the party.
Speaker 1: Yes, the first thing they show them is he's cleaning
Speaker 1: up broken plates on the floor, and she says, this
Speaker 1: is from last week. You've had broken plates on your.
Speaker 3: Floor for.
Speaker 1: You kept these here for a week just to make
Speaker 1: a point to bring the girl over.
Speaker 3: What take a picture? And back then you had to
Speaker 3: get your pictures printed. You could have.
Speaker 2: Gotten it printed before the time you saw this, could
Speaker 2: have hated it.
Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, if you kept the broken plates on
Speaker 1: the flist the whole, all the neighbors were just it
Speaker 1: was ridiculous.
Speaker 3: They were so strange.
Speaker 1: So yes, they.
Speaker 2: And why are you calling Marian to talk about the parents?
Speaker 2: The parents are another adult weird moment because you would
Speaker 2: never call in a child to talk to them about
Speaker 2: their adult parents.
Speaker 1: And you always have the dad. They always had the
Speaker 1: dad going well, honey, I don't think we can blame Marie, like, well,
Speaker 1: of course you can't. She's fourteen.
Speaker 3: She shouldn't even be here. What she's doing here completely ridiculous.
Speaker 2: They would be talking to a teenager without her parents exactly.
Speaker 1: Maybe sweep up the shut on your floor that's been
Speaker 1: there for a week and a half before you call
Speaker 1: a fourteen That.
Speaker 3: Should be your bigger problem.
Speaker 1: Yikes. So the neighbors, they want the ballads evicted, even
Speaker 1: though their own daughter snuck over there to quote unquote
Speaker 1: drink roup beer. She wanted some of that sticky, icky weed.
Speaker 1: The fourteen year old parents figure out that the dog
Speaker 1: was the problem, and they need to find because keep
Speaker 1: in mind, as this party's going on, we keep cutting
Speaker 1: back and forth from now the fourteen year old parents
Speaker 1: trying to kind of figure out what's going on, but
Speaker 1: then also wanting to go to the party because they're fourteen, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is where they glitch again, and now they're younger again,
Speaker 1: but this time the white kid with the braids sees
Speaker 1: it all happening, and he crosses through and he says this,
Speaker 1: I'd love to play this for you if I could. Wow,
Speaker 1: trip it, trip it, trip it. And this was the
Speaker 1: extent of this guy's part. He just kept walking through
Speaker 1: with these one ballad liners. What did you think? Did
Speaker 1: you think he stole the movie? No?
Speaker 3: I did.
Speaker 1: Should it be called the braid point?
Speaker 2: Wanted him off my screen so bad because he did
Speaker 2: not fall in line with a normal Disney channel. I
Speaker 2: don't want to see that kind of stuff. I will
Speaker 2: watch older movies, more.
Speaker 3: Age appropriate if I want to see a character.
Speaker 2: Like that trip it held, I trip it.
Speaker 3: I just couldn't. I couldn't.
Speaker 1: So the party rages on. Party is raging, and the
Speaker 1: urban slugs think Eddie did great, but he's pulled away
Speaker 1: because his parents are now seven years old, riding around
Speaker 1: on scooters and throwing their inventions all over the house,
Speaker 1: causing chaos and eventually making even the white kid with braids.
Speaker 1: This this thing they invented, which is just a ball
Speaker 1: that spins with light, which makes no sense.
Speaker 3: Well, is the newest random character.
Speaker 1: And then they've got a pose for some reason.
Speaker 2: It was a long Yeah, does this seem like a
Speaker 2: very long scene for whatever this was.
Speaker 1: And it's spinning around the party, and they're spraying it
Speaker 1: with a hose and they're spraying all the other kids
Speaker 1: at the party. They're trying to swat it with a thing.
Speaker 1: It flies up the white Brady Kid's shirt, so he's
Speaker 1: now on the ground having a tickle fit. But now
Speaker 1: Marigold and Norton are horribly annoying, and they really young
Speaker 1: and back at the square one again, remembering none of
Speaker 1: the progress they had just made, that they needed the ball,
Speaker 1: or that the dog had stolen it. All that is
Speaker 1: once again gone. This is a disaster. The cops are
Speaker 1: now at the house, the neighbors are there. They're breaking
Speaker 1: up the party, but their daughters also there, and she
Speaker 1: says that the Ballards are actually great people and spotan
Speaker 1: eighty is not a crime. I actually liked this part.
Speaker 1: And here's why I like this part. I liked this
Speaker 1: part because it's very Disney, where it's like the whole
Speaker 1: point was the Ballard kids would look over and see
Speaker 1: this quote unquote perfect family and just wish their family
Speaker 1: was like that. And here's the girl explaining, we're not
Speaker 1: perfect family. I wish my parents were more like yours.
Speaker 1: And that is very Disney, where every family has their
Speaker 1: own foibles and every kid wishes they were in somebody
Speaker 1: else's family. Yes, at some point and it was like.
Speaker 2: Hey, Disney moment started to finally feel like the deec
Speaker 2: Alms that I.
Speaker 1: Love Disney moment, and this girl was good.
Speaker 2: I was gonna ask if the producers that love high
Speaker 2: school musical, one of the one friend that was really
Speaker 2: short I think also is in high school Musical. I
Speaker 2: don't remember really character was, but I wanted to see
Speaker 2: it at some point to.
Speaker 1: Ask pole we'll have to see.
Speaker 2: If this was maybe her first Disney job before she
Speaker 2: booked high school musical okay, you know, four or five
Speaker 2: years later.
Speaker 1: So her you know, Spot eighty is not a crime.
Speaker 1: She wants to stay with her. So her family's like
Speaker 1: her dad almost sounds like Winchester from mash at this point,
Speaker 1: where you know he's the neighbor, like, well, honey, you
Speaker 1: don't need to go crazy about it. So strange. So
Speaker 1: they say, fine, we'll give your family one more chance
Speaker 1: if the party's broken up. Getting his side card for sure,
Speaker 1: the white kid with the braids has one more line
Speaker 1: as he walks in and goes bummer. It's now an
Speaker 1: empty house. The ballads cannot find the part that was
Speaker 1: just missing. Now the kids have figured out that it's
Speaker 1: a part that's missing. Yes, they can't to the parents anymore,
Speaker 1: who are now have have d aged so much that
Speaker 1: they can barely be spoken to. It's getting bad and
Speaker 1: so everything looks dismal. Let's have Eddie himself explain the
Speaker 1: issue here. Can we listen to eclip too?
Speaker 3: They poof this time, it's gonna be for real.
Speaker 1: If poof this time, it's gonna be for real. Sabrina
Speaker 1: and with the music in the background. It was a moment.
Speaker 1: And then to make things worse, their parents glitch again,
Speaker 1: and they are now what two year olds?
Speaker 3: Doesn't she hold up to their three month old?
Speaker 1: Is that really how they get to be three month
Speaker 1: old babies? Well, but it can't be because he has
Speaker 1: to pee. I think they're too because she says how
Speaker 1: old are you and he goes.
Speaker 3: I'm too, Yeah, yeah, I think you're right.
Speaker 1: At this point, yes, the dad is in the bathroom
Speaker 1: covered in toilet paper and he's spraying baby powder all
Speaker 1: over the place.
Speaker 3: She's covered in spaghetti.
Speaker 1: Bacup and spaghetti there. This is where we saw them
Speaker 1: at the beginning. They're obviously have no help. Now they're
Speaker 1: sucking on popsicles. They're crawling around. But guess what Norton finds.
Speaker 1: He finds the part that's missing while playing with the dog,
Speaker 1: so he started to like the dog now and hey,
Speaker 1: I found the part that's missing. Now as a baby
Speaker 1: he loves dogs again. It's just so interestingly strange. The
Speaker 1: kids now have to fix the machine. They wrangle their
Speaker 1: baby parents right as they're about to get there. You
Speaker 1: think we're gonna hey, this is almost over. They can't
Speaker 1: get in the machine because the dad has to peek.
Speaker 2: True in toddler form, you are trying to get out
Speaker 2: of the house. The whole freaking car is packed up,
Speaker 2: baby ledgers in the car.
Speaker 3: Monroe has to pee.
Speaker 1: Okay, we got peepee time people.
Speaker 2: Which I was wondering how they were going to handle
Speaker 2: this part, because then they leave the toddler, the two
Speaker 2: year old in the bathroom by themselves, which is not
Speaker 2: really what you would do with the toddler.
Speaker 1: But you hope he remembers at least how to.
Speaker 3: How to do something. I would have just thrown him
Speaker 3: in the time machine and let there dad.
Speaker 1: Sorry, less than a minute left, their parents are about
Speaker 1: to poof, but last second they're saved. They were brought
Speaker 1: to the brink of poof, and now are they're adult
Speaker 1: selves with fuzzy memories of what happens. Their dadd even
Speaker 1: remembers that he said something about making a peepee, which
Speaker 1: it was a strange joke to bring back again. Yes, uh,
Speaker 1: Norton now also loves the dog. He remembers the dog.
Speaker 1: Enough we get a family hug and a celebration that
Speaker 1: the kids are actually scientific geniuses. The family's a full unit.
Speaker 1: Once again, we don't exactly know how the Urban Slugs
Speaker 1: turned out, but we assume he's going to be in
Speaker 1: the band. The Ballads are regular barbecuing inside the house
Speaker 1: because of course, when you grill, you always grill inside.
Speaker 1: They're spending time together and Eddie. It ends again with
Speaker 1: Taj talking to the camera, but this time dressed as
Speaker 1: a Rastafarian, saying they just made a trip to nineteen
Speaker 1: seventy five where Eddie got to play.
Speaker 3: With Bob Marley and the Whalers.
Speaker 1: And the Whalers. Now, I'm thinking what happened is at
Speaker 1: one point in the movie, which we did not address,
Speaker 1: they're glitching and trying to fix the machine. The kids
Speaker 1: don't know what to do, so he hits Undue and
Speaker 1: it brings the parents back, essentially solving the riddle of
Speaker 1: the time machine. I think he essentially fixed the time
Speaker 1: machine by hitting Undue. Okay, so now they have a
Speaker 1: working time machine, which of course it did not really
Speaker 1: talk about. So they made a family trip back to
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy five where he can play with Bob Marley.
Speaker 1: Roll credits. Here's your movie. This was a tough one, folks.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for anybody out there that loved this movie.
Speaker 1: You gotta love what you love, yes, unapologetically love what
Speaker 1: you love. But this this one, this one was a
Speaker 1: little rough for me. I'll be allre it was.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 1: Well, let's see if it was rough for everybody. Sabrina
Speaker 1: and I think we should do our real reviews.
Speaker 2: Yes, and there is definitely someone out there with a
Speaker 2: five star on this Bad Boy, a nameless review from
Speaker 2: June twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3: It would be crazy to babysit your parents.
Speaker 1: That's the whole rank you.
Speaker 3: That's the review, Thank you.
Speaker 1: And I've got the one star review from somebody named takanek.
Speaker 1: I think it is t ok a na see the
Speaker 1: best part for me the dog. I am an animal lover.
Speaker 1: Though literally neither of them about the movie at all, really,
Speaker 1: and I think that says something. We're gonna play another
Speaker 1: game today, and this is a strange one. When I
Speaker 1: was reading this game, even I didn't quite get what
Speaker 1: we're doing here. It's called One for the Ages. We're
Speaker 1: gonna read adult and child milestones that happened in almost
Speaker 1: everyone's life and according to the UK Office of National
Speaker 1: Statistics in twenty nineteen, and our very own American CDC website.
Speaker 1: We then have to guess what age they are describing
Speaker 1: as a milestone for development. These markers are off for everyone,
Speaker 1: just clues you can find online for progress. So, for example,
Speaker 1: if we said, what's you know when you legally become
Speaker 1: an adult, the answer would be eighteen.
Speaker 3: Do we have to say adult or child? Or do
Speaker 3: we actually put an age to it? You put an
Speaker 3: age actual to age?
Speaker 1: Okay, I think number three might have put the answer
Speaker 1: in there already by accident.
Speaker 4: Oh really, but I'm gonna read it. I'm gonna if
Speaker 4: it's in there. If it's in there, it gives you
Speaker 4: another examp.
Speaker 3: So here we go.
Speaker 1: Well, here's number one getting married. Now this is a course.
Speaker 1: This is from twenty nineteen. I think people are getting
Speaker 1: married later. Yep, I'm gonna go ahead. You go first.
Speaker 3: I would say thirty two.
Speaker 1: Ooh, you're gonna go even higher than me. I was
Speaker 1: gonna say thirty Let's see we got I have no
Speaker 1: idea what's happening today? It's thirty two. I mean, I'm disgusting.
Speaker 3: I'm disgusting.
Speaker 1: Oh, Sabrina is nailing it. Thirty two draws a person
Speaker 1: with three or more parts does that mean you that's
Speaker 1: when you first realize that you could what a person is?
Speaker 1: Like how old you are when you draw a person
Speaker 1: with three or more parts? Is that? Yeah? I mean
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't even say you acknowledge how many parts of person?
Speaker 4: Is it? Just it would be like ahead a stick.
Speaker 1: H Okay, I'm gonna say three.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go four.
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's four. Oh no, something's happening. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: going to read this exactly. I was written having a
Speaker 1: baby twenty nine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's twenty nine. But I do think that's kind
Speaker 4: of crazy because having a baby's twenty nine, but getting
Speaker 4: married is.
Speaker 1: Getting thirty two too.
Speaker 3: That is interesting.
Speaker 1: It is strange. Yes, by the way, I have no
Speaker 1: children and wasn't married till I was forty, Thank you
Speaker 1: very much. Starts to like looking at themselves in the mirror.
Speaker 1: Seven five seven five? Who are you people?
Speaker 4: This is six months?
Speaker 1: Oh that's true.
Speaker 3: You're right, Oh that's true.
Speaker 2: No, child don't know that they recognize that it's themselves
Speaker 2: in the I think they think they're looking at just someone.
Speaker 4: Are you guys raising vampires?
Speaker 1: No, there's no reflection. Moving out of your parents' house. No,
Speaker 1: it's gotten a lot older.
Speaker 3: It has. I would say, I'm gonna say twenty eight.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say twenty six.
Speaker 4: Well it's twenty three.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a little better. Yeah, and here's the last one.
Speaker 1: Hops on one foot eleven, don't kidding? Two? Three? This
Speaker 1: is all the pressure you put on yourself too.
Speaker 4: The answer is five?
Speaker 1: Is it really? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Can hop on one foot five?
Speaker 1: But she's got a dancer's pedigree. That's true. There you go.
Speaker 1: Oh my, all right, well, thank you once again, Producer
Speaker 1: Jensen for one for the ages.
Speaker 4: And by the way, I just want to go on record.
Speaker 4: I have no connection to this. I think some of
Speaker 4: this is BS. I hops on one foot at five.
Speaker 4: I feel like that's late.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do too.
Speaker 1: I feel like that's like, don't you start playing hopscotch
Speaker 1: when you're like three? I don't know, I listen.
Speaker 3: I just pulled it off the sites.
Speaker 1: That's true, that's true. I still think having a baby
Speaker 1: twenty nine is my favorite question that we had. Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't at me? Okay, can we do Sabrina ses please?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 1: And can it all be about the blonde kid with
Speaker 1: the long hair who just keeps going word or whatever.
Speaker 1: I know, I have to.
Speaker 2: Cut, cut, cut, let me let me scroll, let me scroll,
Speaker 2: let me scroll. I had a and they talk about
Speaker 2: it later and explain it later. I had a huge
Speaker 2: issue with the laboratory in the house. That drove me crazy.
Speaker 2: In the beginning, I kept saying, and really, and then
Speaker 2: in the laboratory, I know we talked already about this,
Speaker 2: but the poof.
Speaker 3: Point countdown, that sign being.
Speaker 2: Just a piece of paper with marker, for some reason
Speaker 2: drove me crazy time. And they obviously are showing the countdown,
Speaker 2: they show it so often.
Speaker 3: I don't know why. That drove me nuts.
Speaker 1: But they also have a voice saying, you know this
Speaker 1: amount of times out.
Speaker 3: I know there's an.
Speaker 1: AI that's obviously speaking to them, but they need marker
Speaker 1: to write down what's happening.
Speaker 3: Yes, but a marker.
Speaker 2: I mean, these are scientists, you, I mean, I know,
Speaker 2: it just mean I just couldn't believe that they don't
Speaker 2: have a printer that could have.
Speaker 1: Done I don't know.
Speaker 2: Again, that bugged me so much. And then going back
Speaker 2: to the parents, the mom Marabel saying this is why
Speaker 2: I was reluctant to have children.
Speaker 3: Thank you, mom, Please.
Speaker 2: Don't hold back glad they really never wanted me at all,
Speaker 2: reluctant to even want kids in the beginning that I
Speaker 2: had to rewind it.
Speaker 3: I thought that was a pretty funny moment that they
Speaker 3: swipe right on over.
Speaker 2: The kids don't even react to it because they're used
Speaker 2: to her saying these crazy things.
Speaker 3: And then I want to know who made these who
Speaker 3: made these neighbors?
Speaker 2: Are they the head of the h o A, Why
Speaker 2: are they able to be Why are they able to
Speaker 2: say we have taken votes, your parents are out of here?
Speaker 2: How can you honestly kick You cannot kick someone off
Speaker 2: your street. You can put a lean on their house
Speaker 2: within an h OA, but you cannot just say we
Speaker 2: don't like your daffodils in the front of your house.
Speaker 3: Bye.
Speaker 1: You can't do that.
Speaker 2: So that was that was funny, that kept coming back.
Speaker 2: And then you know, of course they did give Marie
Speaker 2: an opt to get the kids out of the house,
Speaker 2: so that was nice. But you're still just being very
Speaker 2: aggressive and you have no platform to stand on.
Speaker 3: So those adults in this movie were rough.
Speaker 1: I'd like to throw in a will Sea's for the
Speaker 1: first time, if you don't mind, and this will not
Speaker 1: be wait, I'm let me do it myself. Will sies.
Speaker 1: So this is the first time ever registered to me
Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form. I thought the house
Speaker 1: they picked for them, their house was weird, weird just
Speaker 1: the exterior of the house. It looked like they shot
Speaker 1: part of a hotel and cut there. It looked odd
Speaker 1: to me. I don't know why.
Speaker 3: The neighbor's house was strange too.
Speaker 1: It was a strange neighborhood construct do I don't know
Speaker 1: if we know where this one was filmed, but this.
Speaker 3: Was I didn't see anything, so let's assume.
Speaker 1: Let's assume it's Utah, Utah. It was a strange little neighborhood.
Speaker 3: No, Utah's houses are so cool.
Speaker 1: This was a strange little neighborhood. It was. Well, now
Speaker 1: it's time to rate our movie. One out of ten.
Speaker 1: You know, uh, Sabrina, what do we got this week?
Speaker 1: How about one out of ten more resiblings, one out
Speaker 1: of ten urban slugs, one out of ten, milkshake hangovers,
Speaker 1: one out of ten, white kids with braids, one out
Speaker 1: of ten baby parents, one out of ten mongrels, one
Speaker 1: out of ten Bob Marley jam sessions. Or I'm gonna
Speaker 1: add one out of ten non finger moving guitar riffs.
Speaker 1: Which which one would you like to pick this week?
Speaker 2: Sabrina, I think I think I'll go with the non moving,
Speaker 2: non finger.
Speaker 1: Guitar riffs guitar risks.
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't remember if you went first or me
Speaker 3: at this.
Speaker 1: Point, I think I think you went first. Last time.
Speaker 1: I can't remember, and it sucks that I have to
Speaker 1: go first.
Speaker 3: No, you go first.
Speaker 1: Then this is gonna be my lowest rated d COOM yet,
Speaker 1: I believe. I'm sorry to say again, for anybody out
Speaker 1: there who loves this movie, we can only take them
Speaker 1: as they come. It's just not my favorite. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give this three non moving finger guitarists. It just this,
Speaker 1: this movie did not hit for me on so many levels.
Speaker 1: And props to my friend Taj, who is will always
Speaker 1: be a star. There's a reason he's a star. He
Speaker 1: was not even bad in this movie. And this was
Speaker 1: not a good movie. But no one could look and
Speaker 1: say the reason this was not a good movie is
Speaker 1: because of Taj. He did his he did his damnedest
Speaker 1: in this film. It just this project did not come
Speaker 1: together for me. So I'm gonna give it. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give it a three.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'm gonna I'm gonna hit you right
Speaker 2: there with another three of non movie finger.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It was a bummer because, like I said, I saw
Speaker 3: the casts and I was excited for it.
Speaker 2: But and again I don't think it was really necessarily them.
Speaker 2: I just think, no, there was a lot. It seemed
Speaker 2: now that you brought in that idea of the Sean
Speaker 2: Aston situation, that makes so much sense. Something could have
Speaker 2: absolutely happened during filming and things just not working.
Speaker 3: And you know, but the.
Speaker 1: Four main cast members in this movie are not bad actors. No,
Speaker 1: they just are not bad actors, not a single one
Speaker 1: of them. And this was not the project for them.
Speaker 3: It just wasn't. It just didn't hit.
Speaker 1: It just didn't.
Speaker 3: Oh man.
Speaker 1: And that is the end of the proof point. Thank
Speaker 1: you everybody so much for joining us this week. They
Speaker 1: can't all be amazing, but some of them are, and
Speaker 1: we're looking for them out there. We're looking for the gems.
Speaker 1: They're out there. So remember to subscribe to our feed
Speaker 1: and you can follow us at the Magical rewind Pod
Speaker 1: on Instagram. Thank you so much. Don't poof out, Bye everybody.
Speaker 3: Bye.
