Speaker 1: Hey, Sabrina, Hi, So how did your team do?
Speaker 2: Will we killed it? And did you win well?
Speaker 3: So brand new category this year that we entered is
Speaker 3: a game day spirit program. So we actually combined with
Speaker 3: our cheer team and do a big like with flags
Speaker 3: and signs and a whole thing. You do your fight song,
Speaker 3: you do a chant, you do a timeout pattern. First
Speaker 3: time this division has ever happened, first time US coaches
Speaker 3: have ever choreographed, cleaned, known anything about this division. And
Speaker 3: we took home second in the nation, which was huge,
Speaker 3: going against teams that they either had a lot of
Speaker 3: experience with their cheer team doing game day or their
Speaker 3: song team do game day. We had neither, and we
Speaker 3: did very well. And then my Palm girls.
Speaker 2: We had a little bit of a slip up.
Speaker 3: And these divisions are so competitive, like so competitive, and
Speaker 3: we had a little slip up on second the second
Speaker 3: day because we compete three different days and you try
Speaker 3: to make it to the next round.
Speaker 2: So they chopped the rounds in.
Speaker 3: Half and half and half, and the second day we
Speaker 3: had some major mistakes in the palm routine, so it
Speaker 3: dropped us down to entering. We kind of got into
Speaker 3: finals by the skin of our teeth in eighth place
Speaker 3: and we stuck. We stayed there. But the biggest thing
Speaker 3: with my palm routine is for my seniors. I've got
Speaker 3: eight seniors. They came off the floor just defeated, could
Speaker 3: not believe that the things that have been happened. And
Speaker 3: so I was happy that they made it to finals.
Speaker 3: And I was like, all I care about right now.
Speaker 3: I don't care if you guys bump up. I just
Speaker 3: want you to come off the floor proud of what
Speaker 3: you did, feeling like that is how because that's how
Speaker 3: you practice, that's how you do it.
Speaker 2: The way they did it.
Speaker 3: On the second day just wasn't. It didn't represent the
Speaker 3: rest of the season that they've had. You know, they've
Speaker 3: had such a great season. They've done so well. They've
Speaker 3: been killing it in classes and in our practices, and
Speaker 3: it was that was the bummer to me, is them
Speaker 3: walking off and not being proud of their routine.
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody has a bad day. I don't know how
Speaker 1: you could day.
Speaker 3: So them getting a chance to make it to finals
Speaker 3: and they came off the floor so happy with what
Speaker 3: they did. But when I tell you, it lit a
Speaker 3: fire under my girls butts for jazz, and we ended
Speaker 3: up in third in the nation after finals. It was
Speaker 3: a routine that had people in tears. There was a
Speaker 3: routine that made people set alarms to be in the
Speaker 3: Big Field House for our performance because their routine just
Speaker 3: they just are so gorgeous doing this routine and wow,
Speaker 3: they really made a name for themselves. So I am
Speaker 3: like beyond proud and it was exciting. And Row and
Speaker 3: Jordan were there this year.
Speaker 2: They don't get to come every year. And then we
Speaker 2: got to do two.
Speaker 3: Days at Disney World and I'm still in the Disney
Speaker 3: look at my sweater.
Speaker 2: Okay, your Disney spirit.
Speaker 3: I can't help it. Seven days in Florida is not
Speaker 3: enough for me. I am just so Disney nice. And
Speaker 3: it was like exhausting, and it's an up and down
Speaker 3: roller coaster every year, but coming out on top this
Speaker 3: year was just it makes.
Speaker 4: Cool all the day too, with the with the mess
Speaker 4: of day. Was it one person or was it like
Speaker 4: a body? No, Okay, that's good.
Speaker 3: The disappointment that you have isn't mad at them. It's like,
Speaker 3: I'm sad for you guys, because sure you could.
Speaker 2: Have done so much better, you know, but you.
Speaker 1: Finished second in the big one, the big.
Speaker 2: The big unified routine.
Speaker 3: We got second and it was overall a great trip
Speaker 3: and my girls made me so proud, Like we walked
Speaker 3: away from that competition knowing we laid everything out on
Speaker 3: the floor, and you know now everyone's like just hungry
Speaker 3: to get back there for next year.
Speaker 4: So well that's good. Well, congratulations. Uh I coached the
Speaker 4: team that came in first.
Speaker 2: I knew that was you.
Speaker 1: That was me and my girls killed. But hey, second's
Speaker 1: great too.
Speaker 2: Congratulations.
Speaker 1: Second in the country is pretty damn impressive.
Speaker 3: It is the hardest and most competitive competition there is
Speaker 3: outcome for you.
Speaker 1: We were rooting for you, and second is nothing to
Speaker 1: sneeze at. That's heyank you.
Speaker 2: We'll be back. We'll week back to claim that top
Speaker 2: place here.
Speaker 1: Good year. Well we're back and you're all back with us.
Speaker 4: So welcome back to Magical Rewind, the show that makes
Speaker 4: you want to grab your friends, your pjs, and your
Speaker 4: popcorn and go back to a time when all the
Speaker 4: houses are smartd the waves, Tsunamis, and the high School's Musical.
Speaker 1: I'm Wilford Dell.
Speaker 4: And I'm Sabrina Brian And speaking of high schools and competitions.
Speaker 1: Well, we're back in high school, but this one ain't
Speaker 1: no musical.
Speaker 4: We're pulling off a senior prank gone wrong and leaving
Speaker 4: a path of destruction because it's time to recap the
Speaker 4: nineteen ninety eight Wonderful World at Disney Comedy Principal Takes
Speaker 4: a Holiday, released on January fourth, nineteen ninety eight. Like
Speaker 4: all ABC Network releases we review, this one has a
Speaker 4: very recognizable cast, but it's hard to find.
Speaker 1: This movie these days.
Speaker 4: You might remember, Wonderful World installments have not made their
Speaker 4: way to Disney Plus because of tangled contracts pre two thousand,
Speaker 4: which is a real bummer because that means one day
Speaker 4: these movies could just disappear forever. But we hear magical
Speaker 4: rewinder making sure someone is chronicling their existence while they can.
Speaker 1: That's us. Yes, we're taking one for the team. Or
Speaker 1: are we not? Maybe this movie was amazing, we'll get
Speaker 1: into it. Another commonality.
Speaker 4: It was filmed in Vancouver, this time at a high
Speaker 4: school named Point Gray, which is now infamous as the
Speaker 4: school where seth Rogen and his best friend Evan Goldberg
Speaker 4: wrote the first version of super Bad as students, a
Speaker 4: story that is loosely based on their own senior year there.
Speaker 1: That's why their production company is now called Point Gray.
Speaker 4: Now it might be a little hard to find on
Speaker 4: the internet, but Principal Takes a Holiday did get a
Speaker 4: VHS release two years after its premiere, which has become
Speaker 4: a rare item on eBay and at weird garage sales.
Speaker 4: So maybe you can watch it if you have a
Speaker 4: working VCR and you manage to find a copy. Okay, Sabrina,
Speaker 4: Without giving too much away about your opinion of this movie,
Speaker 4: does it feel like a little more modern and darker
Speaker 4: than some of the d coms we watch? Like, did
Speaker 4: you think that this movie could possibly get a twenty
Speaker 4: twenty six remake?
Speaker 2: Actually?
Speaker 3: Yes, Like I do think that they're away now that
Speaker 3: they're you know, back then, you know what was like
Speaker 3: a d com right, and now that they've got such
Speaker 3: a great formula, they could take this preface this storyline,
Speaker 3: do a couple of rewrites here and there, explain a
Speaker 3: few things here and there, and.
Speaker 2: This movie, the idea of it could be really funny.
Speaker 2: And you know who would.
Speaker 1: Have to be the star nowadays? Who would it be?
Speaker 3: We've had him on the pod. He is our amazing
Speaker 3: host of the games. I mean, he'd have to be
Speaker 3: the star of it. He'd have to be the principle.
Speaker 1: Oh, he'd be the principal. Oh okay, Oh you wait, you're.
Speaker 2: Talking about Brian Stepanic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're talking about Brian Stepanic.
Speaker 3: Okay, Brian Stepanic would have to be this character who
Speaker 3: would be hilarious and so much take the character exactly
Speaker 3: where it needs to go, which is even farther.
Speaker 4: And now I think I'm gonna I'm gonna recast you.
Speaker 4: I think he should play the brother who comes in
Speaker 4: as the.
Speaker 3: Oh, the therapist or yeah, and I should play the principal.
Speaker 1: I would just like Disney. You weren't going to cast
Speaker 1: me either.
Speaker 2: You told me.
Speaker 3: I have sat in a room with Kenny Ortega and
Speaker 3: you told me you were done.
Speaker 2: You were not wanting to act anymore.
Speaker 3: So I'm trying to make make you feel bad and
Speaker 3: you don't want to take don't.
Speaker 1: Try to push me into films. Don't try to do Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I agree.
Speaker 3: You guys would be a fun casting cast together. Oh
Speaker 3: my gosh, that would be.
Speaker 1: The possible retake of this film.
Speaker 4: And I also agree about the massive rewrites that would happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I think that in general, this idea is
Speaker 3: kind of like Aris Bueller's day Off, kind of that
Speaker 3: idea of like, I mean, you could go so much
Speaker 3: farther with the pranks and the certain things that I
Speaker 3: think Disney Channel now really knows how to kind of
Speaker 3: take it far, and I think that it would be
Speaker 3: really funny, and they have such a great cast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so many great talented kids on the channel right now. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I got a weird Ferrispueler vibe from this one too.
Speaker 4: Anyway, as we ask every week, did you know anything
Speaker 4: about Principal takes a holiday before?
Speaker 2: Never? I had never heard of this one, and it
Speaker 2: always shocks me.
Speaker 3: I don't know why, because I feel like I lived
Speaker 3: and breathed the channel during this time.
Speaker 1: Again, this was not on the channel. This was a
Speaker 1: Wonderful World of Disney, So this was ABC.
Speaker 3: I mean, those are the two like networks that I
Speaker 3: was allowed to watch. I don't think I watched really
Speaker 3: anything else. So something getting past me like this feels
Speaker 3: very strange.
Speaker 4: Okay, well you can create your own opinion, because even
Speaker 4: though it's an elusive, wonderful World of Disney entry.
Speaker 1: The movie is currently available to watch on.
Speaker 4: The YouTube's so it's not the best quality, but it's
Speaker 4: actually not awful. It's not like you know, the somebody
Speaker 4: pointed a video camera, an old VHS camera at their TV.
Speaker 1: It's not a bad rip.
Speaker 4: All you have to do is search for Principal takes
Speaker 4: a holiday and go to town. And I mean that literally.
Speaker 4: I want you to drive into a town, stop at
Speaker 4: the closest ripolitan area and then and just basking all
Speaker 4: the commerce and then pick up some milk, drop off
Speaker 4: some outgoing mail, and support the mom and pop hardware
Speaker 4: store and Haskell drive.
Speaker 1: Then watch the movie. Whenever you want.
Speaker 2: To, I will say, did you do the one I did?
Speaker 3: The one that stopped like ten minutes before the movie
Speaker 3: was done.
Speaker 2: It just like stopped, It just went and I was like,
Speaker 2: wait a minute.
Speaker 3: I know I've been confused for several moments of this movie,
Speaker 3: but like that cannot be there, and I'll when we
Speaker 3: get there in the in the carry bar, I'll tell you.
Speaker 2: And then the movie got off.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, I saw the whole thing. Luckily, then
Speaker 1: I went.
Speaker 3: But the second the one that says full so you
Speaker 3: guys got to look for the full movie actually is
Speaker 3: not as good quality, so I'm glad I watched the
Speaker 3: other one because it was better quality.
Speaker 2: And then I just watched the last like ten minutes
Speaker 2: of like, ugh, the one. I said it was.
Speaker 1: Pretty good quality and uh and the whole movie.
Speaker 4: And I wanted to watch the one with all the
Speaker 4: commercials because I love that, but it was the quality
Speaker 4: was so bad that I was like, I can't sit
Speaker 4: through this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I love the period commercials or something.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, the Pepsi there's a Pepsi commercial with Star Wars.
Speaker 2: At the end of one of them.
Speaker 4: For me.
Speaker 2: See, yeah, it's cool fund of water.
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. Yeah, I want to do that.
Speaker 1: And now let's erase those demerits and abolished attention. It's
Speaker 1: time for the synopsis.
Speaker 4: A rowdy senior jeopardizes his ten thousand dollars graduation gift
Speaker 4: when he's caught mid senior prank by the principal. When
Speaker 4: a freak accident takes the principle out of commission, the
Speaker 4: students recruit a drifter in order to wipe his record clean.
Speaker 4: All right, early thoughts, what did you think of principal
Speaker 4: takes a holiday?
Speaker 3: You know me and I feel like I'm starting to
Speaker 3: sound like a grandma now, But.
Speaker 2: Truly I love the messaging.
Speaker 3: And when it came down to it, like the biggest
Speaker 3: reason and why people were doing a lot of the
Speaker 3: stuff was to get just to get the girl, like
Speaker 3: and I don't know why that brother this movie, like
Speaker 3: not yeah, but this that kind of became second nature.
Speaker 3: It was really about getting the like you know, punky
Speaker 3: girl and then the teacher. And I was just kind
Speaker 3: of like, where what message are we trying to give
Speaker 3: to these kids on this movie? And it did seem
Speaker 3: like there was a message besides just like getting away
Speaker 3: with a big lie, and I kind of didn't love that.
Speaker 2: So that's kind of.
Speaker 3: My just general But in all honesty, the confusion I had,
Speaker 3: I don't even know what I would break this.
Speaker 2: I'm so confused.
Speaker 3: I'm hoping today going seen by scene basically is gonna
Speaker 3: help me, help me, will help me?
Speaker 4: I can't because that's what I was coming here. I
Speaker 4: was coming here so you can help me. Thank you,
Speaker 4: I have That was my answer. I have no idea
Speaker 4: how I feel about this movie. Maybe this is a
Speaker 4: very good, wonderful World of Disney. Maybe this is one
Speaker 4: of the worst movies I've ever seen. I truly don't know.
Speaker 4: There's some super weirdness in this movie. It's also never
Speaker 4: a good sign. I know you and I have talked
Speaker 4: about this where I had to watch it in chunks.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: I kept pausing it and looking at my phone and
Speaker 4: pausing it and leaving the room, And so that's not
Speaker 4: a good sign, even something that you know wasn't my
Speaker 4: favorite movie of all time. But the cast was so good,
Speaker 4: something like the Princess Protection Program. I didn't have to
Speaker 4: pause that, I didn't have to walk away.
Speaker 1: I sat and I watched the movie.
Speaker 4: This this was so I do not And then there's
Speaker 4: a couple of performances in this movie that are great,
Speaker 4: that are so good and so funny that it's like, wow,
Speaker 4: that guy was awesome or this was really good.
Speaker 1: So I have no idea to think about.
Speaker 2: This script though.
Speaker 3: There's just so many things that were like why why
Speaker 3: was that even necessary? In all honesty, like the whole
Speaker 3: kid that goes to Stanford, and and also the girl
Speaker 3: that ends up getting I don't even think that character
Speaker 3: was like necessarily needed in the movie. It could have
Speaker 3: just their friends, a guy from Home Improvement. It could
Speaker 3: have just been that guy.
Speaker 1: This was so we'll get into a he had a
Speaker 1: best friend too.
Speaker 2: Where did he go?
Speaker 1: I don't in the movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, even in the movie except at the very beginning.
Speaker 1: It's so weird, so weird.
Speaker 2: It was hard. It was it was kind of like agreed.
Speaker 3: Like I said, when the movie just cut off, I
Speaker 3: was kind of like, Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe that was that's par for the course. I understand that. Hey,
Speaker 1: I guess that was the end.
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, the movie was directed by Robert King, now a
Speaker 4: heavyweight Emmy nominated creator of The Good Wife.
Speaker 1: And It's been off The Awful Wife. I'm kidding.
Speaker 4: That would have been great The Good Fight alongside his
Speaker 4: real wife Michelle. The Power couple also created a handful
Speaker 4: of other shows, Evil Elizabeth and The New Cooper Tino,
Speaker 4: starring Ben Stiller's daughter, Principal takes a holiday. It was
Speaker 4: his first time behind the camera, so humble beginnings made
Speaker 4: for a big TV power player later, and like I mentioned,
Speaker 4: this is a big primetime ABC cast. Let's start with
Speaker 4: Zachary ty Brian as John Scududo. Ty Brian was one
Speaker 4: of the biggest young TV stars at the time, playing
Speaker 4: Brad on the once number one show in America, Home Improvement.
Speaker 4: He'd later appear in the Movie's First Kid, Magic Island
Speaker 4: and Fast and The Furious Tokyo Drift.
Speaker 1: But unfortunately nowadays he's.
Speaker 4: Just kind of, you know, kind of seen in news reports.
Speaker 4: It's been a troubled life and it's a real bummer.
Speaker 4: I just remember him as a kid. We had Jim
Speaker 4: class every day. He was very nice back in the day.
Speaker 4: Haven't seen him in thirty years, but really a shame
Speaker 4: and then a favorite of mine, the incredibly talented Kevin
Speaker 4: Nealan awesome plays Franklin Fits a star from Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 1: In the eighties and the nineties.
Speaker 4: Nielan has become a character actor favorite, seeing movies like
Speaker 4: Happy Gilmour, Coneheads, and The Wedding Singer, and he's probably
Speaker 4: best known as one of the stars of Weeds, but
Speaker 4: has also appeared on shows like Dharma and Greg Man
Speaker 4: with a Plan and Third Rock from the Sun.
Speaker 1: Were you excited to see Kevin Neilan As soon as he.
Speaker 3: Came on, I was like, and also, you know again
Speaker 3: we know for a long time. Getting like a heavy
Speaker 3: hitter for Disney was like big because there was a
Speaker 3: little bit of a stigmatism for adult actors to be
Speaker 3: a part of Disney, you know, movies and things like that,
Speaker 3: like Channel.
Speaker 2: Stuff or ABC stuff.
Speaker 3: So I was really excited feeling like, oh, this was
Speaker 3: a great get for Disney.
Speaker 2: I'm like stoked to watch this guy.
Speaker 1: It was so cool and he was the best.
Speaker 4: And then of course we had well new addition to
Speaker 4: the school who instantly becomes his best friend, even though
Speaker 4: he screws him over in the first thirty seconds he's there,
Speaker 4: and then he has no other friends at all.
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm talking about Rashaan and Nall. He played
Speaker 1: Peter Heath.
Speaker 4: He's known for starring in shows like Sister Sister, One
Speaker 4: on one, Cuts, The Bernie mac Show, and many many more.
Speaker 4: His character was very strange. He was great, character was
Speaker 4: very weird. Now we have Kurt Fuller is principal Frank Hockenberry.
Speaker 1: It's just a fun name to say.
Speaker 4: Fuller is another amazing character actor, best known from some
Speaker 4: real classics like Ghostbusters, Two Wayne's World, The Running Man,
Speaker 4: Scary Movie in.
Speaker 1: Midnight in Paris. I mean just those movies alone. Amazing.
Speaker 4: He and the director Robert King seemed to work together
Speaker 4: a lot. He appeared on The Good Wife, Evil and
Speaker 4: The Good Fight. Then we've got Jessica Steen. She plays
Speaker 4: Celia Shine at Canadian local Hire. Steen has appeared in
Speaker 4: the movie Armageddon and on TV shows like Stargate SG one,
Speaker 4: and she was one of the stars of the show Heartland,
Speaker 4: and I did a bit of a deep dive on
Speaker 4: her and it was really interesting.
Speaker 1: She was not a founding member, but one of the.
Speaker 4: Early early proponents of Burning Man and aims that the
Speaker 4: reason then the desert yep of Burning Man, and she
Speaker 4: claims she was fired from Stargate SG one because they
Speaker 4: said she would rather play in the desert on drugs
Speaker 4: than come to work, and she claims that none of
Speaker 4: that is true. So if you want to read her,
Speaker 4: it's really weird.
Speaker 2: The quote is very strange.
Speaker 1: But yeah, she's a Burning Man fan.
Speaker 4: And then I was blow Oh she was also on
Speaker 4: one of the shows I think, I said, Heartland, and
Speaker 4: she's in Smart House. That's right, she played smart I'm kidding.
Speaker 4: She was also a Smart House. And then I was
Speaker 4: blown away by somebody I knew from one specific role
Speaker 4: in Seinfeld.
Speaker 1: But Carlos J. Cutt, I think that's how you say
Speaker 1: his name.
Speaker 4: He plays Oliver and he's seen in shows like Buffy's
Speaker 4: Studio sixty on the Sunset Strip and of course that
Speaker 4: Seinfeld I was talking about, and a movie is like
Speaker 4: gross point blanker who is great fun with Dick and
Speaker 4: Jane and being John Malkovich cast him in everything.
Speaker 1: He's so funny.
Speaker 4: He's the one who plays the doctor, the fake doctor
Speaker 4: actor who comes in and god, he's just funny. And
Speaker 4: then I'm gonna let you take a shot at Emmanuel's
Speaker 4: last name.
Speaker 1: We've got an actress, No, it's I love doing these people.
Speaker 4: We've got actress Emanuel Shrieky. And she is streaky streaky.
Speaker 4: She is Roxanne. She's best known as Sloan on the
Speaker 4: show and movie Entourage, but she was also seen in
Speaker 4: movies like Detroit, Rock City, Wrong Turn, and You Don't
Speaker 4: Mess with the Zohan and on the TV side, she
Speaker 4: was recently also Lana Lang on Superman and Lois and
Speaker 4: in The Lincoln Lawyer.
Speaker 1: And I know her.
Speaker 4: Because we did a show together for a couple of
Speaker 4: years where she was the Chitara to.
Speaker 1: My Liono on ThunderCats. Very very sweet girl and a glow.
Speaker 4: I would sit next to her every day or when
Speaker 4: we're recording and somebody would go Emmanuel, cricket, cricket, and she's.
Speaker 1: Like, shreaky, shreaky, shreeky, streaky, she said nine times. So
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, I know it.
Speaker 4: And then we have a cameo from Bill ny the
Speaker 4: Science Guy, playing of All Things Well the.
Speaker 2: Science Science Teacher Nia is a real life.
Speaker 4: Science educator who is becoming TV personality through talk show
Speaker 4: appearances and his own TV shows, teaching science through curiosity, humor,
Speaker 4: and real work experiments.
Speaker 1: Have you ever met Bill Nye the Science Guy?
Speaker 3: I was an extra on his show back in the day, Yes,
Speaker 3: And it was so exciting to go and be on
Speaker 3: like Bill NY's show, like it was this stuff that
Speaker 3: the set was just so cool and out of this world,
Speaker 3: and Michael Jackson was on.
Speaker 2: Next door, Like it was like it was just like
Speaker 2: the best day, the best day.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 4: See, you had Bill Nye, but from the Nickelodeon days
Speaker 4: older people like me, we had mister Wizard.
Speaker 1: So mister Wizard was the Nickelodeon Bill Nye.
Speaker 4: It was we swhere to God and to God, hand
Speaker 4: to God. Mister Wizard was I think that was his name.
Speaker 4: I'm almost positive that was his name. Yes, it was
Speaker 4: mister Wizard. And so he was this old kind of
Speaker 4: curmudgeny guy who taught kids science on Nickelodeon in the
Speaker 4: seventies and the eighties, like early early Nickelodeon. And then
Speaker 4: we got Bill Nye and I remember the opening of
Speaker 4: Tower of Terror. Rider, Danielle, Ben and I all went
Speaker 4: on the ride with Bill Nye and before we started,
Speaker 4: he handed us all pennies and he's like, I want
Speaker 4: you to hold the penny in front of your your
Speaker 4: face as we drop. And so the picture is all
Speaker 4: which I still have, is Bill not all of us
Speaker 4: dropping with the pennies all hanging in front of us
Speaker 4: in the drop because the the you know, gravity does so.
Speaker 1: It was really good.
Speaker 4: He was teaching us science at the opening of the
Speaker 4: Tower of Terror.
Speaker 2: You know he was on Dancing with the Stars, was he?
Speaker 2: He did? He did a season of dances. I don't
Speaker 2: remember who his partner was.
Speaker 1: Did I tell you I'm doing They ask me, I'm
Speaker 1: doing Dance with the Stars.
Speaker 2: Are you really? No?
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I'm not happening never.
Speaker 2: You're gonna get me every time high high.
Speaker 4: Trust me, you'd never want to date you just look
Speaker 4: at me and go with horror, you'd never want to
Speaker 4: dance again. Uh So, we can agree that Bill and
Speaker 4: I was a fun face to recognize, but did his
Speaker 4: addition to the film negatively affect the run time? Because
Speaker 4: it's only the real facet for which we can judge
Speaker 4: any film by, we continue to search for and praise
Speaker 4: anything hitting the ninety minute mark, and this week, Principal
Speaker 4: takes the holiday clocks.
Speaker 2: At ninety six minutes.
Speaker 1: A stain on the legacy of the art form itself.
Speaker 4: Six minutes over target, and I can promise you one thing,
Speaker 4: it's the worst six minutes of the movie, So fix
Speaker 4: your life.
Speaker 1: Principle takes a holiday and shane on everyone involved.
Speaker 4: The writing credit goes to director Robert King, who also
Speaker 4: penned the Angels in the Outfield sequels stupidly called Angels
Speaker 4: in the Infield, as well as movies like Dana Carvey's
Speaker 4: Clean Slate, which is a horribly underrated comedy, two Gena
Speaker 4: Davis films Speechless and Cutthroat Island, and Vertical Limit. He
Speaker 4: now focuses just on scripts for the TV shows that
Speaker 4: he's created, and we've got a story credit a common
Speaker 4: Disney movie occurrence here.
Speaker 1: It's Paul Wolfe.
Speaker 4: Wolfe was a USC screenwriting professor for over twenty years
Speaker 4: who wrote on TV shows like Family Ties and Home Improvement.
Speaker 4: That might be the Zachary Tybrian connection. He would also
Speaker 4: produce and direct on the nineties drama series Life Goes On.
Speaker 4: And Now, why don't we all go and try to
Speaker 4: find a transient and put him on kids with a
Speaker 4: position of power and have him recap along with us
Speaker 4: because it's time for principal takes a holiday.
Speaker 1: Sabrina's laughing.
Speaker 2: Put around kids give you some so good? Sure that's
Speaker 2: literally how it starts.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, like what yep? That guy?
Speaker 4: He has no idea who that guy is. That guy
Speaker 4: easily could have been on the run. He could have
Speaker 4: been not allowed within five hundred yards.
Speaker 2: Of kids, but a hitchhiker and making it worse.
Speaker 1: Yep, there you go.
Speaker 4: Well, we open on a very familiar site. It's our
Speaker 4: main character's teenage bedroom. It's been a minute, but we
Speaker 4: do love to see these a mechanism that gives us
Speaker 4: so much information in a very short amount of time,
Speaker 4: and in this case, we hear the phone ringing in
Speaker 4: an extremely messy room and dare I say it might
Speaker 4: even been considered mischievous.
Speaker 1: This bedroom we.
Speaker 4: See sketches and plans and maybe weaponry. Who knows it
Speaker 4: was a strange room. The phone rings until the answering
Speaker 4: machine picks up. For John, it's his.
Speaker 2: Friend who we never care about later.
Speaker 4: Don't get it about this guy at all, at all,
Speaker 4: at all. He wants to know if he went through
Speaker 4: the plan and snuck into the principal's office last night.
Speaker 4: Did he actually pull off the greatest senior prank ever?
Speaker 4: It's gonna be hard to top the thirty two demerits
Speaker 4: he got last year, but he may have just done it.
Speaker 4: John eventually picks up the phone and tells his friend
Speaker 4: a chill, what do you think of his name?
Speaker 1: For John? For this movie?
Speaker 4: Part of me thought it was too generic, and then
Speaker 4: I was like, you know what, in this day and
Speaker 4: age of Hoyt's and Florin's and Blue, just hearing John
Speaker 4: kind of made me feel pretty damn good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But my question I was, actually, it's a wise
Speaker 3: the brit sees the name John. Would he go by
Speaker 3: John in high school? Or would it feel like Johnny?
Speaker 1: No? Johnny was Johnny?
Speaker 2: John just seems older like.
Speaker 1: That John John John Boy John. Yeah, okay, but it
Speaker 1: was nice. It was not It wasn't like, you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah Hudson or it's just like, oh god, it's just John.
Speaker 1: Thank God is John.
Speaker 2: It's John John and Ben.
Speaker 4: No offense to John's, no offense to Hudson's and people
Speaker 4: out there across anyway, the prank is going to go
Speaker 4: something like this. Principal Hawckenberry arrives at his office at
Speaker 4: eight am, gets onto the loudspeaker at eight oh five,
Speaker 4: coffee at eight ten, out of the office at eight twelve,
Speaker 4: and that's when it will hit eight twelve am. And
Speaker 4: with that, John joins his stern parents for breakfast, and
Speaker 4: his dad reminds him they're going out of town for
Speaker 4: two weeks, which seems like an awfully long time to
Speaker 4: leave your senior in high school mischievous, gotten thirty two
Speaker 4: demerits high school kid alone by himself yet.
Speaker 2: Which they know about.
Speaker 3: It's not like they're like parents that are kind of
Speaker 3: don't understand or or always you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Like there's kids in school that get away with stuff,
Speaker 3: you know, and they're the ones that are always the pranksters.
Speaker 2: But like they get away with it.
Speaker 3: They're very aware of the mischievousness that their kid has.
Speaker 1: Well it's not just that.
Speaker 4: They also set up the fact that his mother cooks
Speaker 4: him all his meals. His mother does all of his laundry.
Speaker 4: So they're just this kid to the wolves.
Speaker 2: And someone's just going to check in on him, like
Speaker 2: they're not.
Speaker 3: Like it's not like an aunt or an uncle or
Speaker 3: coming to stay with him, like literally just got to
Speaker 3: check in on it.
Speaker 1: It's so strange, and so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't matter because we never go back to
Speaker 3: the house after that anyway.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 1: It's so weird, but it's easy.
Speaker 4: They've coddled him, they've paid for private school and now
Speaker 4: he's study dependent with zero discipline. They've decided on his
Speaker 4: first day of senior year that while they're away, he
Speaker 4: also can't use their car. So the kid who's mischievous,
Speaker 4: who gets away with everything, the parents say you can't
Speaker 4: use the car, and he doesn't completely follows the rules,
Speaker 4: which to me, I was like, what of course he
Speaker 4: is going to of course he would he used the
Speaker 4: car like.
Speaker 3: This already went to like the fairis ruler's day off,
Speaker 3: Like right, he's going to steal one of their cars, that's.
Speaker 4: Yeah, or or not right moves, but the risky business
Speaker 4: or any of this stuff, it's like what what?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And to be honest, like it's a high schooler.
Speaker 3: If my parents were going away for two weeks, and
Speaker 3: I just think I'd stay home, but it's.
Speaker 1: I mean, my god, who does what is that? Though?
Speaker 2: Two weeks?
Speaker 1: It's so strange.
Speaker 2: I can't use my car.
Speaker 3: I gotta ride my bike or okay, yeah, okay, so
Speaker 3: I'll be home for two weeks.
Speaker 1: I'll see you guys when you get Yeah. No, this
Speaker 1: whole thing was really really weird. It's just weird.
Speaker 4: And they then tell him if he gets one to
Speaker 4: merit this year, they're going to rip up the ten
Speaker 4: thousand dollars inheritance check he was supposed to get from
Speaker 4: his grandmother. John is, of course furious about the new agreement,
Speaker 4: especially because he knows the senior prank could already be
Speaker 4: his first demerit.
Speaker 1: He is screwed.
Speaker 4: As they drive off, he knows he has to stop
Speaker 4: the prank. It's a race against time eight twelve to
Speaker 4: be exact. When a large bucket of red paint is
Speaker 4: set to splash down from the doorway onto the principal,
Speaker 4: John furiously bikes his way to school because he's all
Speaker 4: in the rules he can't use the car, dodging construction
Speaker 4: sites and trying to beat Principal Hawckingberry to his door.
Speaker 4: And on John's tour de France, we also see a
Speaker 4: messy hippie and his dog getting kicked out of a truck.
Speaker 4: Of course, he had been hitchhiking, but we'll get back
Speaker 4: to that later. In the hallways, Hick and Looper, Hick
Speaker 4: and Bottom, hick and Looper, Hickeen, principal treats his troubled
Speaker 4: private school students like he's trained dogs. He enters his
Speaker 4: office at eight as predicted and starts the morning announcements,
Speaker 4: introducing Vice Principal Ralph Calder while Hickenlooper rambles on.
Speaker 1: We see John in the background.
Speaker 4: Tiptoeing into the school to fix things undetected until he
Speaker 4: bumps into a new teacher, Missshine, but even she can't
Speaker 4: stop him. Meanwhile, a new student, Peter Heath, who is
Speaker 4: just new, has arrived and is being ignored while looking
Speaker 4: for where to go, and to Peter's surprise, hicket Looper
Speaker 4: is one minute.
Speaker 1: Ahead of schedule. John is doomed.
Speaker 4: He's springing through the school trying to stop the inevitable,
Speaker 4: and just as Hickenlooper reaches his office door, the phone rings.
Speaker 1: As he turns back to answer the line, just one
Speaker 1: small drip of red hits the floor.
Speaker 4: With the principle now preoccupied, John sneaks his way into
Speaker 4: the ceiling, but it's caught red handed by Peter, the
Speaker 4: new student he's looking for the principal. John begs him
Speaker 4: to keep it down, but Peter has no idea what's
Speaker 4: going on.
Speaker 1: He just needs to get to his first class.
Speaker 4: And as awful as it sounds, you could tell this
Speaker 4: movie was done pre.
Speaker 1: A lot of the horrible things that happened at schools.
Speaker 4: Because if you walk into a student nowadays saying I'm
Speaker 4: trying to disarm it and do it, it just they
Speaker 4: wouldn't even shoot this nowadays, Like, I don't think they
Speaker 4: would even put this in the movie nowadays. They would
Speaker 4: have changed the wording or would have changed the way
Speaker 4: it was it was done, because this was obviously done
Speaker 4: at a much different time. Yes it was right after
Speaker 4: Columbine though. Yes, this was a strange thing for me.
Speaker 4: It just it hit me weird because it was like
Speaker 4: the way they set it up and he's in there
Speaker 4: with scissors and I'm trying to diffuse it. It just
Speaker 4: it brought my head to a different place, which is
Speaker 4: kind of scary sad inside.
Speaker 2: It is because it's like a prank.
Speaker 3: He was not in any way trying to He was
Speaker 3: trying to make a laugh out of the principle, not
Speaker 3: trying to hurt him, not do something.
Speaker 2: That's going to like melt his skin off. It's just
Speaker 2: gonna dye it, you know.
Speaker 3: So it was definitely like a fun filled type idea,
Speaker 3: but nowadays it's like, yeah, no.
Speaker 1: No, you wouldn't do it.
Speaker 4: And just as John is about to cut the wire
Speaker 4: and save himself from the worst a merit of his life,
Speaker 4: hicken Hooper grabs the handle and the red paint douses
Speaker 4: the furious Principle.
Speaker 1: He completed the prank. After all, John and Peter are
Speaker 1: now held in the office.
Speaker 4: Although I don't know why Peter's being blamed, especially since
Speaker 4: he's brand new at school and the principal obviously has
Speaker 4: it in for John, so why would he assume also
Speaker 4: that the new kid at school who literally just walked
Speaker 4: in and had a meeting with him set up. Also
Speaker 4: helped this guy set up this prank who he'd never
Speaker 4: met before and was obviously the biggest jokes kid at school.
Speaker 2: You know that. He's yeah, no, none of this was
Speaker 2: already going okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why I was like, wait, what.
Speaker 2: We're going to stretch everything like crazy?
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So John and Peter are now being held in the office.
Speaker 4: John realizes he's only five minutes into the school year
Speaker 4: and he's lost ten grand. He blames Peter, but Peter
Speaker 4: had to save his owner for some reason. He's new
Speaker 4: at school. Vice Principal Calder appears and wants to know
Speaker 4: how to get the red stuff off of Hickenlooper. Keep
Speaker 4: in mind now that everyone saw the principal doust and red,
Speaker 4: because that's going to be important. John takes it even further,
Speaker 4: completely blaming Peter like it. As a result, both of
Speaker 4: them gets he doesn't know this guy, but I'm gonna
Speaker 4: put it's a year of fault.
Speaker 1: He's the one who told me to do it.
Speaker 4: It was like, what an character right off the bat,
Speaker 4: and it wasn't like that was the thing about Ferris Bueller.
Speaker 4: Is Ferris somebody like a Ferris Bueller or or business
Speaker 4: or Zach Morris. They never did it at the expense
Speaker 4: of somebody innocent or somebody else, Like if somebody was
Speaker 4: a jerk, then maybe they got it, like the principal
Speaker 4: Rooney and in Ferris Bueller, like maybe he got a
Speaker 4: bit of it, but he did it all to himself.
Speaker 4: Ferris Bueller didn't do anything to him. Where this guy
Speaker 4: is already trying to actually do something to the principle, which, okay,
Speaker 4: that's funny, it's the principle, I get it. But then
Speaker 4: this brand new kid who shows up at school, You're
Speaker 4: trying to destroy this kid's life, Like what an.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was like what the hell, dude, where.
Speaker 4: It's like, even if that kid did help him, when
Speaker 4: he didn't, you still don't snitch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so it's like, what is this guy doing?
Speaker 4: But anyway, okay, so he blames Peter and as a result,
Speaker 4: both of them gets six months detention.
Speaker 1: And demerits on their permanent record.
Speaker 4: Later on, in a exceptionally confusing math class, Peter is
Speaker 4: still fuming.
Speaker 1: Over the punishment.
Speaker 4: He's never gotten into trouble before and this will cost
Speaker 4: him Stanford. And this also threw me because they had
Speaker 4: said it's a very conservative school that people send their
Speaker 4: kids to who maybe have had a little trouble in
Speaker 4: the past and need more structure.
Speaker 1: So why would they send this kid to the school
Speaker 1: who's been.
Speaker 4: Perfect and had awesome grades, right if like, what's the
Speaker 4: point of that? So at this point I'm going this
Speaker 4: might be a long ninety six minutes. Yeah, so I
Speaker 4: just didn't understand it. The two boys are still arguing
Speaker 4: about it in science and John suggests Peter find a
Speaker 4: way to remove the demerit. The only way to do
Speaker 4: that is to hacken the principal's computer, but Peter won't
Speaker 4: let him borrow his laptop. And hey, everyone, the science
Speaker 4: teacher's Bill Ny the science guy. Cool, we're now in
Speaker 4: history class with that nervous new teacher, Miss Shine. John
Speaker 4: has borrowed a laptop from the computer from the computer
Speaker 4: lab to break into the mainframe, but unfortunately he was
Speaker 4: detected by Hickenlooper and his best friend is there with him,
Speaker 4: who we never really learned his name and don't need
Speaker 4: to know anything about him because he.
Speaker 2: This is the last time we see him.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, whatever your name was. He is
Speaker 1: still washing the red die off his face.
Speaker 4: He's got a really good hacker protection software set up
Speaker 4: just to stop kids like John. And just like that,
Speaker 4: the boy's last hope has failed. But John hasn't given up.
Speaker 4: They just need a new plan. And then, and I
Speaker 4: didn't miss anything. Here in a real non secretur a
Speaker 4: wild dog appears and steals John's softball.
Speaker 1: John, they're on like.
Speaker 2: The campus of some sort too.
Speaker 1: Uh huh, sure are so this?
Speaker 3: This dog just like uh huh comes out of nowhere
Speaker 3: to the point where it made me go, wait.
Speaker 2: Was that John's dog? I've seen the dog before. It
Speaker 2: was a Johnstock.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the best friend's dog who we haven't met.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, very strange steals John.
Speaker 4: John is unwilling to give up the one softball to
Speaker 4: any wild animals, so he rushes off miles down this
Speaker 4: thing to catch the mutt. But when he does get him,
Speaker 4: the dog doesn't have the ball and his scruffy owner
Speaker 4: could really care less. He recognizes this man as a
Speaker 4: messy looking transient who was kicked out of the truck
Speaker 4: earlier in the movie. He introduced himself as fits and
Speaker 4: is laying down in the grass without a care in
Speaker 4: the world. He even suggests that John just escaped the
Speaker 4: school as a construct. And when hicken Looper notices that
Speaker 4: John has wandered off the campus because he's just there
Speaker 4: with binoculars looking for demerits, it's the final straw.
Speaker 1: It is time for expulsion.
Speaker 4: He types the recommendation into his computer, but before he
Speaker 4: can press enter, John smacks a baseball, the softball pitched
Speaker 4: by Peter, right through his office. It smacks through the
Speaker 4: window and cracks him in the back of the head.
Speaker 4: After a few seconds, he falls to the ground, knocked out. Okay,
Speaker 4: we quick cut to an arriving ambulance. The paramedics see
Speaker 4: the red blotches on hicken Looper's face. There's other teachers
Speaker 4: surrounding them. Why don't the other teachers say no, no, no,
Speaker 4: that's from the it's red paint.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it.
Speaker 3: No, they go ahead and let him get admitted as
Speaker 3: a uh huh, like someone with like issues.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: They take him straight to the infectious disease department of
Speaker 4: the hospital. So nobody they said, hey, we found him
Speaker 4: knocked out. Oh my god, he's covered in red. Give
Speaker 4: me the gloves. No one went no, no, no, that's from
Speaker 4: that's paint. Now, Yeah, nobody said that and now the
Speaker 4: boys are back in the principal's office, facing the judgmental
Speaker 4: look of Vice Principal Calder, who gives them four more
Speaker 4: months of detention.
Speaker 1: So they are now.
Speaker 2: At ten months, ten months of detention.
Speaker 1: In usually a year. That why, no, they're not, No, no,
Speaker 1: they're not. The receptionist also reveals that the district has
Speaker 1: agreed to send a substitute principle, doctor Vernon Baxter, a
Speaker 1: name that really impresses Calder. Apparently he's a big deal
Speaker 1: and no one knows what he looks like, which is
Speaker 1: going to be important to the story obviously.
Speaker 4: Then John notices something a fax breaking through the news
Speaker 4: that doctor Baxter won't be able to fill in. So
Speaker 4: he reads this upside down through a window bar.
Speaker 2: He has eagle eyesight.
Speaker 4: Upside down eagle eyes is what this guy has, John,
Speaker 4: upside down eagle man is what they should call him.
Speaker 4: He's going to be in Zurich, the Doctor. And so then,
Speaker 4: thanks to an inspirational George Washington poster, John shares an
Speaker 4: idea with Pete as they leave school, because now they're
Speaker 4: best He's apparently, what if they hire someone to play
Speaker 4: doctor Baxter just for an hour while they wipe the
Speaker 4: computers clean of their demerits, and since John stole the facts,
Speaker 4: they have nothing to worry about. So he also somehow
Speaker 4: got into that room and grabbed the facts that was
Speaker 4: curled up against the window.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 1: Oh, fax machines, factses were the best. Oh they were.
Speaker 4: You get your sides faxed in for auditions and yeh
Speaker 4: yeh uh.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Peter isn't having it though.
Speaker 4: He's going to tell the school all about Baxter and Zurich,
Speaker 4: but then his breath is literally taken away by another student, Roxanne,
Speaker 4: the toughest girl in school. She trips down the stairs
Speaker 4: right into Peter's arms. He helps her treat her broken
Speaker 4: ankle by ripping sleeves off his uniform shirt.
Speaker 1: But this turns out to just be a dream. This
Speaker 1: was a funny scene.
Speaker 4: It was realizing he's got to be more assertive for
Speaker 4: girls in situations like this. Peter decides he's in for
Speaker 4: the fake principle, so they just need someone who looks
Speaker 4: the part. So again about the girl, Okay, I'll break
Speaker 4: all the rules over at the local neighbor would handle it.
Speaker 4: Audition you know about those, right, So they're everywhere there, everywhere, exactly.
Speaker 1: I have one later today, just for fun. The boys
Speaker 1: they start something to do. It's gonna be great.
Speaker 4: I can't wait. I'm not even reading. I just want
Speaker 4: to watch everyone else. It's gonna be so awesome. But
Speaker 4: they're trying to find an actor to play this part,
Speaker 4: so the Boys star cast, and the best actor they
Speaker 4: find wants two hundred dollars a day and has some
Speaker 4: very diva requests, including a trailer and eleven am call time. So,
Speaker 4: knowing that's not going to work, John then knows what
Speaker 4: he needs to do. He shows Peter Fits, the messy
Speaker 4: transient from earlier, and this will be their doctor Baxter.
Speaker 4: But when they approach Fits, he isn't convinced. He just
Speaker 4: grabs a cup of.
Speaker 1: Urine and throws it on them. I'm kidding.
Speaker 4: They never know he plans on hitchhiking to Alaska and
Speaker 4: just doesn't see himself as a private school principle. They
Speaker 4: beg him to help, offering fifty dollars and room and board.
Speaker 4: Then during negotiations, Fitz notices John's drumsticks. They're like the
Speaker 4: ones Aerosmith used, so they strike a deal. If Fits
Speaker 4: does it, he gets the drumsticks. John is shocked, and
Speaker 4: frankly so was I because drumsticks cost like fifteen bucks.
Speaker 4: He was just offered fifty. And then John is super
Speaker 4: hesitant to get rid of his sticks, but eventually hands
Speaker 4: them over and they never.
Speaker 1: Talk about it.
Speaker 4: You never see John play the drums. They never talk
Speaker 4: about my dad gave them to me. These are Aerosmiths sticks.
Speaker 3: He does something with the drumsticks at the very beginnings.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's literally it.
Speaker 3: We see another snippet of it later in reverse situation,
Speaker 3: but like the drum and also drum sticks, Like, what
Speaker 3: are you going to do with these drumsticks while you're
Speaker 3: still They're.
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, it doesn't make any sense, Like this guy
Speaker 4: could have gone and bought drumsticks and had thirty bucks. Wait,
Speaker 4: and they never just know these are important to me.
Speaker 4: This was given to me by so and so.
Speaker 1: Whatever.
Speaker 2: Nothing, nothing, just another weird moment where yes, what.
Speaker 4: It's just this movie was filled with kind of good
Speaker 4: beats and then non sequiturs and then stories that didn't
Speaker 4: make a whole.
Speaker 1: Lot of sense.
Speaker 4: So we're back at the hospital principal Hick and Looper
Speaker 4: has been fully quarantined, trying to convince everyone he isn't sick,
Speaker 4: but he's just diagnosed as delirious, even though again everyone
Speaker 4: saw him cover with the red paint. And now Fitz
Speaker 4: is ready for his new role as doctor Baxter. The
Speaker 4: boys prep him on how to walk stiffer and they
Speaker 4: buy him a suit, but he draws the line at
Speaker 4: cutting his long hair. He's now out, not something he's
Speaker 4: willing to do even for the drumsticks, So now the
Speaker 4: boys need to find yet another Doctor Baxter. Later that day,
Speaker 4: back at the beach, back in the transient, where Fitz
Speaker 4: notices a woman doing yoga and he's immediately.
Speaker 1: Attracted to her.
Speaker 4: He watches her walk away in the same way a
Speaker 4: straight dog looks at him at a steak and then
Speaker 4: that was missus shine.
Speaker 3: Right, Okay, this I'm gonna just end up giving all
Speaker 3: my Sabrita ces because that's fine.
Speaker 1: Get through it. Yeah, I don't get it.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but okay, first of all, we'll I'll
Speaker 2: leave that one. No, I can't.
Speaker 3: The weirdest stretches she's doing where she's just like standing
Speaker 3: there and she's just like okay, I'm just gonna and
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna. It's like they're not even like runners stretches.
Speaker 3: Those are like dancer stretches. So they must have realized
Speaker 3: this actress.
Speaker 1: Like getting ready for Bernie remember or.
Speaker 3: Something, and she's out in the morning for her daily run.
Speaker 3: But like she runs to the school.
Speaker 2: Why are you running?
Speaker 3: That's the yes, that's the only segue that we get
Speaker 3: to realize she's the teacher.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, anyway, it has completely changed his mind about being
Speaker 4: the principal.
Speaker 1: It fits.
Speaker 4: The boys, however, have returned to a different Hamlet actor,
Speaker 4: Oliver as their last resort. He's excited about the gig,
Speaker 4: even brainstorming some disabilities he could have. He's told to
Speaker 4: report to the school at seven am, but he feels
Speaker 4: like this is a bad idea.
Speaker 1: Anyway, it is now the big day.
Speaker 4: The boys walking to the school hoping the new principles
Speaker 4: arrived ready to act, and are shocked to see Calder
Speaker 4: optimistic about the new doctor Baxter. He proclaims the school
Speaker 4: will never be the same. It looks like the plan
Speaker 4: is working, but when they enter the office, it's not
Speaker 4: Oliver the Hamlet actor.
Speaker 1: Doctor Baxter is fits with a haircut.
Speaker 4: Fitz is unpredictable right off the bat mentioning dog vomit
Speaker 4: and haphazardly exposing his ankle dauphin tattoo like you do.
Speaker 4: And then things get even crazier when Oliver, the Hamlet actor,
Speaker 4: now physically transformed, now physically transformed with a mustache, arrived too.
Speaker 4: He announces that he is doctor Vernon Baxter. Peter then
Speaker 4: passes out, and this was pretty funny. Calder is confused,
Speaker 4: how are there two Vernon Baxter's. The Hamlet actor is
Speaker 4: stumped on what to do next. He asks for a
Speaker 4: line and then Peter passes out again. Fitz thinks on
Speaker 4: his toes and bear hugs the second Baxter. He claims
Speaker 4: it's his brother and that their dad named all their
Speaker 4: children Vernon Baxter, even their sister and the dog. But
Speaker 4: Calder is still confused. Why was the other vern looking
Speaker 4: for an office? And Peter passes out for a third
Speaker 4: time again funny bit. Oliver quickly improvs about being born
Speaker 4: with a club to foot, but Fitz chimes in, claiming
Speaker 4: his brother as a therapist who will counsel students pro bono.
Speaker 4: It's an awesome pairing of actors for the movie. Vernonon
Speaker 4: Baxter as a combo really worked again. I just want
Speaker 4: to watch this because I didn't get the story. Now
Speaker 4: away from Calder and Fitz the Hamlet the Hamlet, Baxter
Speaker 4: is furious at the boys. He was supposed to be
Speaker 4: the lead and now he's just a student counselor. Calder
Speaker 4: jumps onto the loudspeaker and announces the substitute principle. Fitz
Speaker 4: takes the mic and asks the school to call him
Speaker 4: doctor V, letting everyone know what he's wearing so they
Speaker 4: can spot him. It is very unhinged. At the end
Speaker 4: of the day, John and Peter finally approach Fits in
Speaker 4: the bathroom.
Speaker 1: What is he doing?
Speaker 4: Why is he doing so much when he's only supposed
Speaker 4: to be there for one day? But before he can answer,
Speaker 4: he's called to an all teacher philosophy lecture. He nervously
Speaker 4: walks into the gym and sees his waiting audience on
Speaker 4: an overhead projector.
Speaker 1: Do they still use overhead projectors? They don't, do they
Speaker 1: know yet?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Their stuff goes straight from their computer onto like the whiteboard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and stuffed.
Speaker 2: But the projector was so cool to see. I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, like.
Speaker 3: Just like going in math class, like the teachers going
Speaker 3: through like how to work out a math problem, all
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff, and then and then spraining and
Speaker 3: then wipeing.
Speaker 4: Ugh, it takes you right back. It takes you right back.
Speaker 4: I saw something this morning that said dirty Dancing came
Speaker 4: out in nineteen eighty six, about dancing in the in
Speaker 4: like nineteen sixty three. If it was made today, it
Speaker 4: would have been a movie about two thousand and one.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's like, you've got to be kidding me,
Speaker 4: talk about feeling old and so now, yes, Fit stands
Speaker 4: before the faculty to lecture about what it's supposed to
Speaker 4: be his own book. Instead, he plays with the projector
Speaker 4: in freestyles about how education is like pizza. John and
Speaker 4: Peter watch on in Great Horror, and this is Kevin
Speaker 4: Neiel in his wheelhouse.
Speaker 1: Just let him go. He was very funny. It's a
Speaker 1: weird part.
Speaker 4: And I don't know, but just for an acting nomination
Speaker 4: for the Rewindees, he might have to be in the
Speaker 4: discussion just because he's so funny. But that might just
Speaker 4: be my personal love of him. It might have been
Speaker 4: that great a performance. I just really like him.
Speaker 3: I thought it was pretty clever, and he just seems great.
Speaker 3: I sees some like blue purse because I feel like,
Speaker 3: you know, he'd go on like his runs, like you
Speaker 3: love when comedians do.
Speaker 1: Yes, He's Kevin Neilan and I just love him so much.
Speaker 4: Anyway, Fitz eventually darts out of the gym, leaving them
Speaker 4: with pizza thoughts, but is stopped by the new history teacher,
Speaker 4: Celia Shine, and he's like, yeah, that sounds like a
Speaker 4: car wax. She's a huge fan of doctor Baxter's and
Speaker 4: is thrilled to be working with him, but she did
Speaker 4: think he was older and bald, but whatever. She just
Speaker 4: wants to hear about his new work because she would
Speaker 4: love to have him as a mentor. When she tries
Speaker 4: to get her credentials next week, he says he'll think
Speaker 4: about it, but when he drops his drumsticks and picks
Speaker 4: them up, she catches a glimpse of that same ankle
Speaker 4: dolphin tattoo. Weird Over in the counselor's office, Hamlet Baxter
Speaker 4: is showing Rorschack test to students and saying that their
Speaker 4: answers are wrong, and John and Peter are back with
Speaker 4: fits now the principal's computer, finally hoping to erase their records,
Speaker 4: but they don't know the computer's password. Calder says, the
Speaker 4: principal implemented some extra security measures, but this school has
Speaker 4: been working to solve the issue. Uh oh, this means
Speaker 4: a transient Fits. We'll have to stick around a bit longer.
Speaker 4: John thinks they can pull it off because no one
Speaker 4: is onto them yet. Right ooh, we get an optical flip.
Speaker 4: As Miss Shine is sitting down the library to read
Speaker 4: a real doctor Baxter book, she thinks something's up. It
Speaker 4: says in the bio he went to Cornell, So she
Speaker 4: jumps on the phone to call principal Hawk and Berry,
Speaker 4: Hick Andlooper, but the staff at the mental institution says
Speaker 4: he's not taking calls, so instead she uses the white
Speaker 4: pages to call what's supposed to be doctor Baxter's office.
Speaker 4: She leaves a message wondering if she met him today
Speaker 4: and if he has a dolphin tattoo?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 4: At school the next day, Hamlet Baxter is chatting to
Speaker 4: another student, just spitballing his character backstory about serving in Vietnam. Meanwhile,
Speaker 4: for detention, Fits is chilling with John and Peter watching
Speaker 4: sports in his office, but Peter's freaked. The whole point
Speaker 4: was to get Fits in and out, but John has
Speaker 4: to see his dream come true. They own the principle,
Speaker 4: but before they can celebrate, they're interrupted by a knock.
Speaker 1: On the door. It's Miss Shine.
Speaker 4: As Fits scurries to get it in place, he accidentally
Speaker 4: turns on the mic and plays his dog barking to
Speaker 4: the entire school. Once Miss Shine enters, she's shocked to
Speaker 4: see John, who apparently is now set up for something
Speaker 4: called independent drum study. Fitz says it's his new strategy.
Speaker 4: Suspicious Shine quizz Fits about what school he went to,
Speaker 4: and he is just saved as VP. Calder pipes in
Speaker 4: with Cornell, and that may have held off Shine for now,
Speaker 4: but she's starting to catch on. And then John suggests
Speaker 4: an idea for Peter's crush, Roxanne, which I thought was
Speaker 4: a very strange kind of transition. Now he's come up
Speaker 4: with an idea of how to get the girl, so
Speaker 4: Fitz calls her into his office and tells her she's
Speaker 4: been expelled. He continues to repeat himself over and over,
Speaker 4: almost as if he's queuing someone up, and then right
Speaker 4: on cue, John pushes Peter into the office to confidently
Speaker 4: interrupt the principle. He demands better treatment for Roxanne claiming
Speaker 4: a student's worth is not reliant on what they're doing wrong.
Speaker 4: She passed the greatest test of all time, the test
Speaker 4: of Caterpillar. And then he means no, no, no character.
Speaker 4: He's clearly blowing whatever the script was written for him,
Speaker 4: which was proved when we see that John is secretly
Speaker 4: holding up giant Q cards right behind her. He's not
Speaker 4: trying to hide it all, just giant giant CUE cards
Speaker 4: right behind her. And in the end, Fitz rips up
Speaker 4: the expulsion notice and praises Peter as a hero. In
Speaker 4: the cafeteria, Lator Fitz and Calder are looking at what
Speaker 4: might be tuna. Possibly Fitz is disgusted by his first
Speaker 4: bite and thinks something must be done. He marches into
Speaker 4: the kitchen and demands that the chefs eat the dish.
Speaker 4: When he declined, Fitz says everything they serve from here
Speaker 4: on out must be edible to the staff, and the
Speaker 4: students go crazy. They love this. In even better news,
Speaker 4: Roxanne and Peter are going out on a date. John's
Speaker 4: subterfuge worked after all, and now Peter has become the
Speaker 4: one addicted to manipulating the principle. John also spots Miss
Speaker 4: Shine renting out all of doctor Baxter's books in the library.
Speaker 4: He realizes that they're all playing with fire at this point,
Speaker 4: and again he now has no friends.
Speaker 1: It's just the one friend he has that we It's
Speaker 1: so strange. That night, at John's house, Fitz is playing
Speaker 1: the drums, but they need to read all of Baxter's
Speaker 1: books for research, and that's a good plan because the
Speaker 1: real doctor Baxter has just heard Miss Shine's message.
Speaker 4: The next morning, John has turned into a full on dad,
Speaker 4: so this is what he's supposed to be learning, obviously,
Speaker 4: making sure Fits is wearing socks, eating healthy, and studying.
Speaker 4: And at school that morning, Miss Schein is talking to
Speaker 4: Vice Principal Calder about her upcoming credentials test, which will
Speaker 4: have a written and observational portion, but she seems more
Speaker 4: concerned with this whole Doctor b tobacco. She races up
Speaker 4: to Fits and quizzes him on the three elements of
Speaker 4: his triangulation theory reform m. This is coincidentally something he
Speaker 4: does know kind of, so with a little help from
Speaker 4: a pantomimean Peter, Fits answers the question correctly, holding her
Speaker 4: off for now. But the real doctor Baxter has called
Speaker 4: the school and finds out that not only do they
Speaker 4: have one Doctor Baxter, they have a second Doctor Baxter.
Speaker 4: The receptionist assumes this is some sort of prank call
Speaker 4: and hangs up, forcing the real doctor Bee to book a.
Speaker 1: Flight there at once.
Speaker 4: And yet Fitz is still banging his drums and acting
Speaker 4: crazy at schools all rules, no more detentions, no more demerits,
Speaker 4: and guess who's back Yep, Principal hicken Looper hick and
Speaker 4: Bottom Hochenberger, looking disheveled. He is shocked to see his
Speaker 4: school is in utter chaos. When he asks to see
Speaker 4: Doctor b he's sent to Hamlet doctor Baxter and John,
Speaker 4: who is in the process of firing the counselor from
Speaker 4: his job. They just don't need two doctor Bees. But
Speaker 4: Oliver swears he's having a breakthrough with the square headed
Speaker 4: kid with the funny nose. He's finally feeling good about
Speaker 4: how he looks. It's an incredible joke. And then Principal
Speaker 4: Hickenlooper Hackenbacher spots John paying off the actor and can't
Speaker 4: believe what he's seeing. And then he falls off the
Speaker 4: balcony and he looks like he falls like sixty.
Speaker 2: Feet seriously like to his death.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, horrible, huge fall, and is taken right back
Speaker 4: to the institution. Then that night, it's Peter and Roxanne's
Speaker 4: big day at a fancy restaurant. They're seated right next
Speaker 4: to the kitchen, killing all possible romance. He dreams about
Speaker 4: kissing her, a real sign that this is a wonderful
Speaker 4: World movie, not a dcom.
Speaker 1: But instead he just orders.
Speaker 4: Chicken, which, again, you're got a fancy restaurant, They're gont
Speaker 4: want to know what kind of chicken you're ordering, Peter,
Speaker 4: you can't just say chicken.
Speaker 1: I was like, is it a Pacada? Is it a Marsala?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 1: You can walk me through this chicken, Like.
Speaker 3: A typical teenager going to a nice restaurant, being like,
Speaker 3: can I get the chicken?
Speaker 1: Chicken?
Speaker 5: You know what?
Speaker 1: I please?
Speaker 4: Eventually decide to leave the stuffy restaurant and instead of eating,
Speaker 4: just ride them OpEd on the beach. Back at the
Speaker 4: school the next day, Miss Shine is trying to teach
Speaker 4: within this new no rules atmosphere, but kids aren't paying attention.
Speaker 4: They're just coming and going, music blasting, not paying any mind.
Speaker 4: Fits watches on, as does an official in charge of credentials, who,
Speaker 4: in my opinion, should have some big problems with the
Speaker 4: school's credentials.
Speaker 1: Not hers, But sure.
Speaker 4: She eventually storms out and Fits follows close behind. He
Speaker 4: tells her this no rules policy was his idea. It
Speaker 4: has nothing to do with Miss Shine, but she doesn't care.
Speaker 4: She's suspending her credentials immediately. Now defeated Fit and again,
Speaker 4: all the.
Speaker 1: Other teachers are fine to teach in this system, but
Speaker 1: just her shed.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, well she said too. I'm not here to
Speaker 3: evaluate the school. I'm just here to evaluate this one teacher.
Speaker 5: No. But it's like you figure you'd make That's not
Speaker 5: how it works.
Speaker 2: This whole situation work.
Speaker 1: Of course, that's not how it works. That's not how
Speaker 1: it works.
Speaker 4: Like a tall anyway, Fitz realizes the crowdit halls are
Speaker 4: now a zoo. Even Vice Principal Kaldor and Bill Nye
Speaker 4: are defeated. What has Fitz done? As Miss Shine packs
Speaker 4: her bags, Fitz finds out Principal Hooka Booker's computer passwords
Speaker 4: have finally been overridden. He can actually change John Peters's records,
Speaker 4: but he knows something bigger hangs in the balance. He
Speaker 4: immediately talks to the school board and gets Miss Shine
Speaker 4: another chance, but she doesn't care. She's quitting teaching, but
Speaker 4: Fitz won't accept her resignation. He knows it's his fault.
Speaker 4: She says it has nothing to do with him. She
Speaker 4: just makes history boring. Fitz convinces her she is not boring.
Speaker 4: If she was boring, why would he have a crush
Speaker 4: on her. He begs her to stay and then he
Speaker 4: kisses her. So problematic on so many level, But who
Speaker 4: am I to get in the way of love?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I partially check on this movie.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like, okay, whatever, Okay, we're just gonna
Speaker 3: get past that whole like sexual harassment.
Speaker 2: I mean, all the things how it happened. You can't
Speaker 2: just go around kissing people in your work of like
Speaker 2: your place of work.
Speaker 1: By this point, I was like, okay, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: You're just at this point, you're like, okay.
Speaker 1: Whatever, Yep, very much whatever.
Speaker 4: The next morning, when John goes to wake up Fits,
Speaker 4: he's already downstairs cooking breakfast. He's focused and needs the
Speaker 4: entire schools help to get Miss Shine her credentials back.
Speaker 1: And keep in mind, they're doing all this within like
Speaker 1: a week. Yes, they have two weeks to do this,
Speaker 1: and he even.
Speaker 4: Says, we have to clean up the school and get
Speaker 4: her credentials back, and John goes.
Speaker 1: Today, okay, and that's it.
Speaker 3: They have one day is a week too, it's like
Speaker 3: five days of school too, because Saturday Sunday.
Speaker 2: No, this is happening so quick, real fast, real fast.
Speaker 1: The next morning. Okay.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they're going to do all this in a day.
Speaker 4: All right, sounds good. So as soon as he gets
Speaker 4: into his office, he takes to the loudspeaker and admits
Speaker 4: the entire student body that he's been wrong. If we
Speaker 4: really wanted to rebel, we would have really needed a
Speaker 4: plan to replace it. He begs them to look inside
Speaker 4: themselves and bring back order, and magically they just do.
Speaker 4: They even start listening to Miss Shine after John raises
Speaker 4: his hand with a question. He wants to know why,
Speaker 4: if the nineteen twenties and the nineteen eighties stock market
Speaker 4: crashes were similar, why was there no depression in the eighties?
Speaker 4: And somehow this very specific question has made her less boring,
Speaker 4: and everyone in the class is magically engaged and ready
Speaker 4: to learn. And in science class, Bill Nye is apparently
Speaker 4: just as boring until one kid says he needs to
Speaker 4: be shown the formula and not just told it. Miss
Speaker 4: Shine loves what she sees all of the school, especially
Speaker 4: since the review committee is coming tomorrow.
Speaker 1: She even pinches fits on the when she sees him,
Speaker 1: all right, sir.
Speaker 4: Also, the real doctor Baxter keeps calling to say he's
Speaker 4: coming to take over the school, but luckily the receptionist
Speaker 4: still thinks it's a prad. Also, Peter's sex life was
Speaker 4: looking pretty good until Roxanne goes to leave a rose
Speaker 4: on his locker and in the process notices the C
Speaker 4: cards from when he asked her out.
Speaker 1: She rightfully becomes angry and who would keep the cards? Bro?
Speaker 1: He earned the evidence, the giant cards. How are you
Speaker 1: not trashing those things instantly? You deserve to lose the girl.
Speaker 4: It seems though Miss Shine has learned a bit more
Speaker 4: about doctor Baxter because she finds fits just to slap
Speaker 4: him in the face.
Speaker 1: Yeah you know, when it's later, ishly, when did she
Speaker 1: find out? I have no idea.
Speaker 2: She just comes up, but she just like goes to
Speaker 2: slap him.
Speaker 4: It's like, okay, she's now pinched him on the s
Speaker 4: and sexually assaulted him and actually assaulted him in the school,
Speaker 4: but she knows there's a missus Baxter. Fits tries to
Speaker 4: tell her the truth, but knows he can't he'd be
Speaker 4: a liar in her eyes either way. She says she'll
Speaker 4: face the school board alone and never wants to see
Speaker 4: him again. We're back in Hackenbrocker Hookohooper's hospital room. He's
Speaker 4: working overtime to escape like he's Hanniballector. While at school,
Speaker 4: the boys and Fits finally erase their demerits in the
Speaker 4: computer system, which was their only goal in the first place.
Speaker 4: Fitz also decided to call Stanford with a well deserved
Speaker 4: recommendation for Peter. Fitz asked John if he needs anything
Speaker 4: outed to his file for college, but John doesn't see
Speaker 4: the point, and with that Fits his time as principle
Speaker 4: is done. He hands his drumsticks to John and tells
Speaker 4: the boys to apologize to Misshine for him, so he
Speaker 4: doesn't even take the okay, And then I don't really
Speaker 4: know how to explain this one. But then Bill Nye
Speaker 4: is back to boringly teaching a science class. He hasn't
Speaker 4: changed it all, even when the kids ask for more.
Speaker 4: And then just when all hope is lost. He pops
Speaker 4: down under the desk in an oddly sped up scene
Speaker 4: that emerges with a leaf blower excited to show students
Speaker 4: how the power of science is amazing.
Speaker 1: Did you notice how strange the scene was. It was
Speaker 1: just strange.
Speaker 3: It was like another like I'm saying, it's like these
Speaker 3: offset like little many storylines.
Speaker 1: Yeah, these vignettes that nothing.
Speaker 3: And yes, as a hurt, like does these like little
Speaker 3: things that really? Again, because the lady that's coming to
Speaker 3: look at the school isn't looking for Bill NY's character,
Speaker 3: He's just there to see miss Shine, So it's just
Speaker 3: like now he's I don't know, it's weird and yeah,
Speaker 3: and he keeps getting weird with him, like it's like
Speaker 3: I don't know if they like because they got Bill
Speaker 3: Nye they were just like wanting to bring him and
Speaker 3: use him more like I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: And again, everyone was good, like all the acting was fine.
Speaker 3: It's fine, It's just the storyline itself was not seamless
Speaker 3: than anything.
Speaker 4: Bobulated Yes, with fits nowhere to be found and the
Speaker 4: real doctor Baxter arriving by taxi. Vice Principal Kaldor takes
Speaker 4: the credential committee to miss Shine's class. Outside, Peter has
Speaker 4: found Roxanne, but she's still give him.
Speaker 1: The cold shoulder.
Speaker 4: He apologizes, and she argues that she would have liked
Speaker 4: to have known the real hymn. She then forgives him
Speaker 4: and says she'll give him another chance, under one condition.
Speaker 4: He has to kiss her so hard her head explodes. Okay,
Speaker 4: he was dreaming again, and this could have been the
Speaker 4: part to get it down in ninety minutes. You just
Speaker 4: didn't need any of this, like, none of it was,
Speaker 4: none of it comes back.
Speaker 1: So anyway, in.
Speaker 4: Reality, she walks off mad and now he really does
Speaker 4: run after her. He asks her out no q carts
Speaker 4: is time and she accepts all with a very weird
Speaker 4: rendition of can't help falling in love with you playing
Speaker 4: in the background.
Speaker 1: She all, this.
Speaker 2: Is when my movie stopped.
Speaker 4: Oh really, it's like and right, and you're like, okay,
Speaker 4: that's all right.
Speaker 3: He got the girl and that's what the whole point
Speaker 3: of this movie was, which still I don't really know
Speaker 3: what it was for what the messaging was like. So
Speaker 3: then I went back and saw the other one said
Speaker 3: full movie, and I'm like okay, and then there's like
Speaker 3: another like ten minutes.
Speaker 4: Yeah at least, so there you go, but she adds
Speaker 4: one condition though. He gets ready for the kiss, but
Speaker 4: instead she just wants him to carry her books nearby.
Speaker 4: John apologize, I would have loved if that was just
Speaker 4: the end of the movie.
Speaker 3: That was it?
Speaker 1: Hereby John apologizes to.
Speaker 4: Miss Shine for fits tells her the truth about everything,
Speaker 4: just as the reviewers walk into the room, which is
Speaker 4: the definition of bad timing. Also, Bill Nye has turned
Speaker 4: the leaf blower into an all out hovercraft and is
Speaker 4: now with his students riding it through the hallways. They
Speaker 4: eventually pick up the real Doctor Baxter, who went from
Speaker 4: angry about being impersonated to all out joy. The credentials
Speaker 4: review begins, but her mind is elsewhere as she stumbles
Speaker 4: her words. John once again steps in with a question
Speaker 4: to help her out, and in the end she does
Speaker 4: a great job.
Speaker 1: As the committee gets ready to leave, satisfied with what
Speaker 1: they's scene, there's one last wrinkle.
Speaker 4: Principal Hickenlooper Pop and Popper has arrived, now in a
Speaker 4: cast and ready to expose the truth. He reveals that
Speaker 4: Fitz is a drifter and also reveals that even Miss Shine.
Speaker 1: Is involved, which she wasn't.
Speaker 4: The committee is not happy, and if these accusations could
Speaker 4: be proven, her credentials will be taken away for good.
Speaker 4: Hick and Pooper points to Hamlet Baxter he's also a fake.
Speaker 4: He rips off Oliver's fake mustache just as Fitz storms.
Speaker 1: Into the room.
Speaker 4: He takes full responsibility. He clears John of any wrongdoing
Speaker 4: and says he learns something at the school. If you
Speaker 4: put her mind to it, you can do anything you want.
Speaker 4: But Hick and Tuber Pooper Pooper isn't satisfied. He spots
Speaker 4: to the real doctor Baxter and brings him in to
Speaker 4: tell the committee the truth. But instead of condemning the school,
Speaker 4: he points out how much it's changed since he considered
Speaker 4: working there. He's seen some incredible results and calls Fits
Speaker 4: the real principle. Everyone applauds in chance for doctor v
Speaker 4: right as the nurses arrive to take Kick and Duper
Speaker 4: back to the hospital, and again for still getting his
Speaker 4: skin ripped off even though he was covered in paint.
Speaker 1: Outside.
Speaker 4: The two doctor Baxter's commiserate Hamlet Baxter wants to save
Speaker 4: the world, or at least play someone who saves the world.
Speaker 4: Fits apologizes to his dog and is approached by what
Speaker 4: appears to be a very angry mass Shine. He admits
Speaker 4: he's a fake and knows she never wants to see
Speaker 4: him again, but in reality, she loves what he's done.
Speaker 4: The students need him, especially John, who now needs a
Speaker 4: recommendation letter signed for the University of Washington. He's going
Speaker 4: to use his grandma's check to pay tuition. Keep in
Speaker 4: mind that the check was for ten thousand dollars, which
Speaker 4: in two thousand and six will pay for about eight books.
Speaker 4: So John is going to college and Peter is with
Speaker 4: Roxea and going to Stanford. Fitz kisses Shine and returns
Speaker 4: to the school as their new principal. The transient who's
Speaker 4: never teached, never never taught to Dan his life, never
Speaker 4: better teach us.
Speaker 2: She's like, no education.
Speaker 4: That's the whole movie was getting credentialed for certain people
Speaker 4: and the transient They're like, and you're the principal, You're
Speaker 4: the right guy again with that weird version of can't
Speaker 4: help falling in love playing once again? And that's our movie.
Speaker 1: Let's do some real reviews, Sabrina, what do you got?
Speaker 2: I got the five star review today from Terry P.
Speaker 2: Sure it's a movie exclamation point five stars.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 4: I of course then have the one star review which
Speaker 4: is from Movie Freako six, which I frankly don't trust
Speaker 4: Movie Freako six, Movie Freaks one through four, great, maybe five,
Speaker 4: six and seven.
Speaker 1: Don't trust you. Here we go.
Speaker 4: I will never accept a film that celebrates the injury
Speaker 4: of an educator. I'd like to teach that John Kid
Speaker 4: a thing or two, probably social studies and geometry.
Speaker 1: If given the choice, one.
Speaker 2: Star, Wow, you must be a teacher.
Speaker 1: Got to be a teacher.
Speaker 4: And now we are coming to Sabrina's favorite part of
Speaker 4: our program, the feature game.
Speaker 1: And today our game is called Preach to Teach. Who's
Speaker 1: playing with us today? Do we know?
Speaker 2: Yes? You have Mikaela.
Speaker 1: Yay, Mikayla's with us. So Sabrina's got a chance. We
Speaker 1: got a chance. Here we go.
Speaker 4: So with Principal takes a holiday, we have two incredible
Speaker 4: performances from Kevin Neilan and Carlos Jacket. I hope I'm
Speaker 4: saying that right. It's either jack Out or Jacott, both
Speaker 4: portraying teachers. Sort of they're fake teachers, and to honor
Speaker 4: their work, we're going to get the name of four actors,
Speaker 4: and we have to choose which has been a real
Speaker 4: teacher at some point in their lives before fame, and
Speaker 4: it is more common than you think. Three out of
Speaker 4: five wins.
Speaker 1: I have no idea.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5: Okay, Number one sting, Sure, I'll go with yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 2: Yes, he was an English teacher and sports coach for
Speaker 2: two years in the seventies.
Speaker 1: There we go one for one. Number two Hugh Jackman.
Speaker 3: I could see Hugh jack drama drama teacher or something
Speaker 3: for sure.
Speaker 1: Yes, I want to make a prediction before I answer.
Speaker 4: This could be producer Jensen's first time where all five
Speaker 4: of them were actually teachers.
Speaker 1: Let's see. I'm going to go with yes, I agree
Speaker 1: with you. I could see Hugh Jackman.
Speaker 2: Yes. At eighteen, he was an assistant house master at
Speaker 2: a school in the Uplands.
Speaker 1: There what is a house master?
Speaker 4: Somebody masters the house Sabrina.
Speaker 2: Like a boarding schools that have to do with boarding.
Speaker 1: School probably, Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Number three Jeene Simmons from Kiss, and I think I
Speaker 4: know this one. Yes, Jean Simmons from Kiss was a teacher.
Speaker 4: I believe you know you know Kiss? Yes, Okay, it
Speaker 4: was the super long tongue guy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, yeah, we didn't kiss. Didn't they paint their faces?
Speaker 1: Huh?
Speaker 2: Okay, whoa that would be so wild to see your
Speaker 2: teacher later.
Speaker 1: Pretty sure. Jean Simmons from Kiss.
Speaker 2: Gonna say yes too. I feel like these are all
Speaker 2: going to.
Speaker 1: Be teachers, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 3: In the seventies he taught eleven year old and vanished
Speaker 3: Harlem for six months.
Speaker 4: There you go, by the way, the way, MICHAELA laughed,
Speaker 4: I know we're right number four, mister T. Yes, I'm
Speaker 4: saying yes to all of my bet he tried to
Speaker 4: screw us. Yes, they're all going to be teacher, yes,
Speaker 4: mister T.
Speaker 2: Oh god, yes, yes, in Chicago.
Speaker 1: We were right. Liam, Yes, so good too.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, could you imagine then.
Speaker 3: Just see mister T and being like that guy taught
Speaker 3: me how to do a push up.
Speaker 2: Pity of food.
Speaker 4: Who don't come to gym class? Yes, Liam nesim Yes,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say we got him. I'm gonna say we
Speaker 4: got producer Jensen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, he was a teacher in training. Oh five
Speaker 2: out of five, that's like extra credit. We get too.
Speaker 1: And we called it beforehand. We called it by huge.
Speaker 4: I think after sting, I was like, they're all gonna
Speaker 4: be there, Yes, him down this week.
Speaker 1: That's all I gotta say. Can we do a Sabrina sees.
Speaker 3: We can if I could find anything. It's we've talked
Speaker 3: about everything. One of the first things though, you know,
Speaker 3: we talk about we did talk about this a little
Speaker 3: bit of you know, we do get a chance to
Speaker 3: see a lot of the like main characters bedrooms for
Speaker 3: the first scene.
Speaker 2: This one though, with them dragging the.
Speaker 3: Phone through the messy room, the skateboard, all of that stuff.
Speaker 3: I thought it was like one of the more like
Speaker 3: creative ways to to like move through the room right,
Speaker 3: like getting a chance to kind of see and look
Speaker 3: into the room. I did actually really like that, And
Speaker 3: again it made me think of like back in junior
Speaker 3: high when I had like my own line and my
Speaker 3: own message like answering machine, Yes.
Speaker 1: That's Richie rich Hey rockefella.
Speaker 3: By that time, people were getting their own line and
Speaker 3: then you would do it made me think of I
Speaker 3: used to have like no doubt.
Speaker 2: Like sorry, I can't sorry, I'm not home right now.
Speaker 2: That was like my answer was like that was like
Speaker 2: the thing to be like, hey, what's up? This is Sabrina.
Speaker 2: I'm not home right now, but I'll talk to you later.
Speaker 2: Gave me Sleave a message. It just like, was took
Speaker 2: me a nostalgia world.
Speaker 1: Mine. Mine was struck. Mine was struck from girls too.
Speaker 3: Oh man, okay again talked about how reckless now we're
Speaker 3: leaving him.
Speaker 2: There was a weird cut. There were multiple weird cuts.
Speaker 3: I felt like how we were going from one aspect
Speaker 3: of explanation.
Speaker 2: And I don't know if.
Speaker 3: It was because I, you know, have to remember this
Speaker 3: was actually on ABC. So if they were like weird
Speaker 3: cuts because it was a commercial or what, I didn't
Speaker 3: want me the one with commercials. But a lot of
Speaker 3: them were really abrupt and then going into a new scene,
Speaker 3: like there was not like a.
Speaker 1: No no transition stuff.
Speaker 4: At one point in the beginning, they're like I rewounded,
Speaker 4: So I was like, what the hell is this? Where
Speaker 4: a scene ends and then all of a sudden, it's
Speaker 4: just the two of them in red and blue jacket
Speaker 4: somewhere and then it cuts away from Lie And that's the.
Speaker 2: One I was saying was weird cut? Like what just happened?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I did the same thing. I was like,
Speaker 1: what the hell is that?
Speaker 3: Yes, again, the weirdest like dancer stretches for a runner.
Speaker 2: I just have never seen that before. That cat me off.
Speaker 2: It was just so like, hey, look I'm lipper, Look
Speaker 2: what I can do.
Speaker 3: And when she bent over, I was like, okay, ABC,
Speaker 3: like this is start. I mean she literally does like
Speaker 3: a full you know, which if you're flexible, you can't
Speaker 3: like judging your toes, but like it pause.
Speaker 2: It did a scan top.
Speaker 3: To bottom and it paused on the dairy air for
Speaker 3: sure yep, which we don't get to see on the
Speaker 3: channel ever.
Speaker 2: Oh interesting, Okay.
Speaker 3: The moped scene was like another one, just another little
Speaker 3: vignette of when they are at the restaurant and they
Speaker 3: do the mobed scene and it's kind of like when did.
Speaker 2: This get it? Get a moped? Like why couldn't they
Speaker 2: have just been walking by a beach?
Speaker 1: Like it just was these just think then she's like
Speaker 1: holding on to him.
Speaker 4: I think that's yes, like okay, but it's weird though,
Speaker 4: it's you're right, though, it's strange.
Speaker 2: Yes, there was one song, so I I don't know.
Speaker 3: I can't say I really remember a lot of songs
Speaker 3: at the time, but it did seem I mean when
Speaker 3: they were doing the Can't Help the Elvis song but
Speaker 3: a remake of it, Yeah, it kind of. I was like,
Speaker 3: I don't know, but this one song that played twice
Speaker 3: said one of the lines says, I don't know where
Speaker 3: I'm going, but I'm broke.
Speaker 2: So I hope it's free.
Speaker 1: What wrong is that?
Speaker 3: During the kind of montaging of when he is giving
Speaker 3: free rein to the school and the students, it's like
Speaker 3: during that part and it's it's just like, I don't
Speaker 3: know where I'm going, but I'm broke, so.
Speaker 2: I hope it's free. I was like, that's such a
Speaker 2: funny life.
Speaker 1: Love it.
Speaker 2: I had to write it down.
Speaker 3: Last one was why are cafeteria ladies or guys always
Speaker 3: portrayed as these like greasy mean, Like, my cafeteria ladies
Speaker 3: were so sweet all through like junior high and high school.
Speaker 1: They were the.
Speaker 3: Sweetest, Like they were always like I knew you were
Speaker 3: gonna want a cookie, I got, I saved one. They
Speaker 3: were going you didn't get here very early today, you know,
Speaker 3: or whatever, Like they were.
Speaker 2: Always the sweetest. So shout out to cafeteria ladies. I'm
Speaker 2: so sorry.
Speaker 3: That that is something that is like a main stay
Speaker 3: in so many movies like the cafeteria person is not nice,
Speaker 3: where we all know that's.
Speaker 2: Not the true.
Speaker 1: If we see you, cafeteria people, we.
Speaker 4: See you, and we see you and you're sweaty and
Speaker 4: your hairnets, and it's we we know how hard it is, so.
Speaker 1: We get it.
Speaker 2: All right, that's all I got today.
Speaker 4: All right, Well, now it's the time of our program
Speaker 4: where we are going to rate the last movie we saw.
Speaker 4: And this is this is going to be difficult one.
Speaker 4: But let's figure out how we want to do it.
Speaker 4: First of all, I say, okay, let's make ten.
Speaker 2: If you think that'll work.
Speaker 1: I think it'll work. We're going to take time the highest.
Speaker 1: That's okay. And this week we have some we have
Speaker 1: well interesting ones.
Speaker 4: How about one to ten bland but refreshing names like
Speaker 4: John one to ten, local neighborhood, hamlet auditions, unimportant drumsticks
Speaker 4: one out of ten, hamlet baxters one out of ten,
Speaker 4: dolphin ankle tattoos so weird overhead projectorsnineteen eighties, depressions one
Speaker 4: out of ten, sped up Bill Nye's or I'm gonna
Speaker 4: add one out a ten.
Speaker 1: Principal hicken bicking pickle, like that is that what we're
Speaker 1: gonna do?
Speaker 2: Itl works too that any.
Speaker 4: But any sound even close to hipperbicker tooper tickle is
Speaker 4: gonna work.
Speaker 1: So I think you go first this time.
Speaker 3: I guess I do, and I thought it would make
Speaker 3: a little bit more sense to me. I honestly, I
Speaker 3: just feel like we watched a movie that was just
Speaker 3: there's no other way to explain, but weird, like agreed.
Speaker 2: All over the place.
Speaker 3: Just it felt like we were just kind of manic
Speaker 3: the whole time of trying to figure out, oh okay,
Speaker 3: now we care about this character.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, now you know it? Did it? Like I said,
Speaker 2: I like the idea.
Speaker 3: I like having a crazy principle coming in take over
Speaker 3: trying to help.
Speaker 2: These kids out. I liked the idea. I just think
Speaker 2: it was two all over the blaze.
Speaker 3: For me to really be able to sit down and
Speaker 3: watch within one setting, I couldn't do it. I had
Speaker 3: to break it up, and going through it bit by
Speaker 3: bit just made me more confused.
Speaker 2: So I think I'm gonna go with I'm gonna just
Speaker 2: go down the middle and give this a.
Speaker 3: Five doctor hip and back and pooper pickopk kadaka rating.
Speaker 2: I'll give it a five.
Speaker 4: H I agree with one hundred percent with everything you said.
Speaker 1: I this movie was confused. I love Kevin Nieling.
Speaker 4: Carlos Jacket was great. It was a weird series of
Speaker 4: vignettes that did not mesh. There was no real through line,
Speaker 4: none of it kind of make any sense. But because
Speaker 4: of the cast, I'm also going to give it five
Speaker 4: Hicken principal Hick and picking Pooper Pickles.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't know how else to score this. Think this
Speaker 4: might have been a two, this might have been an eight.
Speaker 4: I'm giving it a five.
Speaker 1: Don't know. Uh So there you go. There was our film. Well,
Speaker 1: we saw a movie.
Speaker 2: We saw a movie.
Speaker 1: We saw a movie.
Speaker 4: Our next movie is one we've been looking forward to
Speaker 4: for quite some time.
Speaker 1: It is the sequel that has been looming in the
Speaker 1: distance and last time to once again ride the wave feed.
