Speaker 1: Hey, when you were a kid, if you ever did
Speaker 1: anything wrong? Were you ever threatened with military school?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: No, you never had that. You never was never like
Speaker 3: we will send you off to military school.
Speaker 2: No, no, no military, no boarding. Nothing.
Speaker 4: It was like you'll you don't get to go to dance,
Speaker 4: probably or I honestly I don't remember what my threats were.
Speaker 3: I'm so funny.
Speaker 1: That was my biggest threat too, is my parents being like,
Speaker 1: will you don't get to dance? And I was like, what,
Speaker 1: You're not gonna where dancing? And that's when the music
Speaker 1: started and it was like footloosing in my bedroom.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I honestly don't remember.
Speaker 4: It probably was candy sweets have been a thing for
Speaker 4: me my whole life, which is hilarious.
Speaker 1: So you're you're you're a so you're a sweet person,
Speaker 1: Like if you had the best sweet next to the
Speaker 1: best burger, you're going to take the best sweet every time.
Speaker 4: When I was little, yes, but it's definitely my daughter
Speaker 4: now but now I it depends am I pregnant?
Speaker 2: Because if I am, I need that ice cream like pronto.
Speaker 1: That was well, first of all, hopefully you're not asking
Speaker 1: me if you're pregnant, because I would say, how would
Speaker 1: I know?
Speaker 4: I mean, like, sweets were everything on both pregnancies, but
Speaker 4: not really as an adult.
Speaker 3: What was your weirdest craving when you were pregnant.
Speaker 2: I didn't have weird cravings.
Speaker 4: I just literally had at least one, like scoop of
Speaker 4: ice cream every night, Okay every night.
Speaker 1: There's a famous Fordell family story where my mother was
Speaker 1: so craving and eating jelly donuts with one of us
Speaker 1: that my dad had a nightmare where he woke up
Speaker 1: in the midlight screaming because my mom had turned into
Speaker 1: a jelly donut.
Speaker 2: Hilarious. Yeah, I know.
Speaker 4: I was really stoked about the weird cravings. The only
Speaker 4: thing I think I got that was weird was I
Speaker 4: would either do cream cheese or sour cream and then
Speaker 4: put green salsa on it and dip it with Freedo chips.
Speaker 3: Okay, I could see that.
Speaker 4: But when I think about it, I feel like that
Speaker 4: was an eighties slash nineties appetizer where you do like.
Speaker 2: A block of a block of cream cheese with.
Speaker 3: Salsa melted in the microwave and then dip with a
Speaker 3: free Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I guess I kind of brought that back from
Speaker 2: my childhood.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 1: Well, we've gotten far afield from if you were ever
Speaker 1: threatened with military school, how we end up, dipp, I
Speaker 1: will not understand.
Speaker 4: Did you get threatened with mill Schorel You kind of
Speaker 4: had to write you were like living that life a
Speaker 4: little bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my dad was in the military, but no, because
Speaker 1: my parents would never have sent us away.
Speaker 3: Nothing we would have done would have had my parents
Speaker 3: center right.
Speaker 2: My parents say, I think if they even tried, that would.
Speaker 1: Be like yeah, okay, yeah, good luck with that.
Speaker 2: You could live without me. That's hilarious.
Speaker 3: Good luck with that.
Speaker 2: Good luck.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 1: Well, welcome back to Magical Rewind, the show that makes
Speaker 1: you want to grab your friends, your pj's and your
Speaker 1: popcorn and go back to a time when all the
Speaker 1: houses were smart, the waves, Tsunamis and the high School's musical.
Speaker 3: I'm Will Dell and I'm Sabrina Brian and Sabrina.
Speaker 1: I'd like to start today by saying you're welcome because
Speaker 1: I picked the film we watched today and we're going
Speaker 1: to get into it. So you don't have to send
Speaker 1: me gifts. Don't send them right to the house because
Speaker 1: you are welcome.
Speaker 4: Oh well, well, I think I speak for the producers
Speaker 4: as well, that you are no longer allowed to pick
Speaker 4: any movies.
Speaker 1: I disagree, I should pick them all. It was brilliant that.
Speaker 2: Has been taken away from you.
Speaker 1: Well, ten hot soldiers, line up and give me ten.
Speaker 1: Because we were reviewing nineteen eighties The Ghosts of Buxley Hall,
Speaker 1: a supernatural comedy that I swear to God, I picked
Speaker 1: solely on the poster. It came up on my feed.
Speaker 1: I've wanted to watch some of the older kind of movies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this one popped up. I knew nothing about it, and
Speaker 1: I was like, let's do this one. And I'm glad
Speaker 1: I did, because what a film. It was originally broadcast
Speaker 1: as a two part episode of Disney's Wonderful World. That
Speaker 1: is a first for us, and they aired them a
Speaker 1: week apart, so part one was on December twenty first,
Speaker 1: and part two was on the twenty eighth of nineteen eighty.
Speaker 1: Nineteen eighty was a tough year, but we'll get into
Speaker 1: that later. The movie was filmed at the Banning House,
Speaker 1: which is a historic Greek Revival Victorian home in the
Speaker 1: Wilmington section of Los Angeles. It was originally built in
Speaker 1: eighteen sixty three by an early Los Angeles pioneer.
Speaker 3: And you know it's early when.
Speaker 1: The first name is Phineas Phineas Banning, you know that
Speaker 1: we are talking about a while ago. It is now
Speaker 1: a museum that has been designated a California Historic Landmark
Speaker 1: as well as federally listed on the National Registry of
Speaker 1: Historic Places. And none of that is for being the
Speaker 1: filming location for the Ghosts of Buxley Hall.
Speaker 3: It also just happened to be filmed there.
Speaker 1: This is obviously the building itself is a big important
Speaker 1: set piece, so the movie is basically shaped around the
Speaker 1: entire building. In addition to the double broadcast, it was
Speaker 1: released on wait for it, folk, and you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to google this a lot of you listening on something
Speaker 1: called VHS in nineteen eighty in the eighties as part
Speaker 1: of the very popular Walt Disney Home Video line, which
Speaker 1: a lot of people remember. And then in twenty twelve
Speaker 1: it was released on DVD, which is another digital video disc.
Speaker 1: Some people don't even know what that is anymore, as
Speaker 1: a Disney Movie Club exclusive, only available to club members,
Speaker 1: making the physical copy a bit of a collector's item.
Speaker 1: And oh yes, you gotta love this. Turner Classic Movies
Speaker 1: aired it back in twenty fifteen as part of their
Speaker 1: Treasures from the Disney Vault series. But now, folks, and again,
Speaker 1: you're welcome. It is on Disney Plus to watch, so
Speaker 1: you can go watch it now before we get into it,
Speaker 1: or just wait till we're done.
Speaker 3: Neither's rude. We're not gonna judge it either way. I'm
Speaker 3: gunn you.
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna judge you, and not even silently. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna come to your house and just openly judge you.
Speaker 1: Does this movie, involving characters from the Civil War era,
Speaker 1: depict sexism and thinly veiled racism?
Speaker 3: Uh huh, yeah, yeah, sure does one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: Have we now hit our third Disney movie that involves drinking.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, certainly have.
Speaker 1: But in all fairness, we don't have any deaths from DUIs,
Speaker 1: which will stay solely with Susie Q for now, which
Speaker 1: holds the I think most characters killed.
Speaker 3: In the beginning of a Disney movie trophy.
Speaker 2: Uh we have more, Yes, yes, we had them. That
Speaker 2: was the whole thing. At Tower or Tair, we lost
Speaker 2: four people.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, we lost the whole cast.
Speaker 2: You're right, seconds in.
Speaker 1: I take it back ninety seconds in and the entire
Speaker 1: cast is killed.
Speaker 3: You're one hundred percent the entire cast is gone, jeez,
Speaker 3: well remembered.
Speaker 1: And it was shot in nineteen eighty so similarly to
Speaker 1: the Leftovers, the footage does look like it's being projected
Speaker 1: from a VHS tape that was bathed in mud on
Speaker 1: the back of a broken burlap sack that you found
Speaker 1: in your basement.
Speaker 3: But hey, that is the era. And not trying to
Speaker 3: color our.
Speaker 1: Own feelings here, but this is one of the more
Speaker 1: dismally rotten Tomato scores we've received for any movie so far.
Speaker 1: It is twenty eight percent. I think that was a
Speaker 1: little harsh, but that's we'll get into that. But again,
Speaker 1: they should not sway us either way. And first Arena,
Speaker 1: I think I can guess the answer to this. But
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna ask if you knew about the
Speaker 1: Ghost of Bucksley Hall. I'm just gonna say, how much
Speaker 1: did you know about the Ghost of Bucksley Hall?
Speaker 3: One of your favorite films of all time? Before the podcast?
Speaker 2: Nothing.
Speaker 4: I was actually excited because I grew up, you know,
Speaker 4: at my grandparents' house watching kind of Western movies, you know,
Speaker 4: war type stuff, and so I was kind of excited
Speaker 4: for it from the poster, not anything that I thought
Speaker 4: it was gonna end up being where it takes us immediately,
Speaker 4: with the amount of children that are in the movie, Like,
Speaker 4: I just was not expecting that at all.
Speaker 2: No, I was thinking more John Wayne.
Speaker 1: Really for a Disney movie, it's any kids, Hey, maybe
Speaker 1: he would want to do something kind of like that.
Speaker 4: I don't know, you know, but I just I mean,
Speaker 4: from the poster itself, I was shocked when it started
Speaker 4: to reveal what this movie was gonna be.
Speaker 3: I think that's so funny.
Speaker 1: I had not heard of this movie. I again, I know,
Speaker 1: old timey movie, which is so horrible to say. In
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty I was four, but I wanted to watch
Speaker 1: an old school movie.
Speaker 3: That's what are the joys of this podcast.
Speaker 1: When we first started this podcast, I didn't want to
Speaker 1: just do awesome new movies like Zombies and and you know, Descendants.
Speaker 1: I wanted to go back and see kind of where
Speaker 1: it all started. So yes, unfortunately, one of the things
Speaker 1: that we're running into, and this is a deal we've
Speaker 1: made with ourselves, with the producers and also with our audience,
Speaker 1: is that We're not gonna watch any movie that is
Speaker 1: so difficult to find that Hey, we got one random
Speaker 1: copy of a VHS that you and I shared and
Speaker 1: nobody can watch along with us.
Speaker 3: We're not gonna do that.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna we're watching even the old ones. We
Speaker 1: find our movies that are accessible to our to our audience.
Speaker 1: So Ghost to Bucksley Hall popped up. I'm like, this
Speaker 1: is perfect. It's right there on Disney Plus, it's got
Speaker 1: a great poster. Let's get into it.
Speaker 4: It's so interesting to me though, that it did get
Speaker 4: such a low score, knowing that it's on Disney Plus
Speaker 4: and all the things that it was brought back and
Speaker 4: the Disney Club often, Yeah, all that stuff into to
Speaker 4: see that it got like a low rating is interesting
Speaker 4: that they would then, I mean, you know, but maybe
Speaker 4: at the time it didn't get that kind of rating
Speaker 4: right that to me, it was more of a newer
Speaker 4: rating system from it wasn't happening in the eighties.
Speaker 1: Also, and we can we can address this right at
Speaker 1: the top. I am forty eight years old. This movie
Speaker 1: to me, this the quality of this movie, the acting
Speaker 1: in this movie, the look of this movie, all of
Speaker 1: this is exactly the type of movie I would watch
Speaker 1: when I was eleven or twelve years old. Okay, so
Speaker 1: this was like the dcom of its day for me.
Speaker 1: Were these kind of movies like the one we watched
Speaker 1: was sean Aston where they they're at the military base.
Speaker 1: The other one we watched, Yes, like movies like that
Speaker 1: were the movies that I grew up watching. So this
Speaker 1: looked like my kid kind of movie. All right, this
Speaker 1: was my Descendants, not this movie specifically, but the look
Speaker 1: of this kind of movie. These are like my kind
Speaker 1: of Descendants. So I was I was excited.
Speaker 2: I gonna need you to pull back from comparing it
Speaker 2: to Descendants.
Speaker 3: I know exactly.
Speaker 1: Wow, I met in that they're both movies with actors,
Speaker 1: which is probably where where the where that stops?
Speaker 2: But starts and stops.
Speaker 3: It's true.
Speaker 1: All right. So before we chug some wine from the
Speaker 1: bottle we're hiding in the library, let's get into the synopsis.
Speaker 1: The ghostly founders of a military academy try to undo
Speaker 1: a merger with a girls school, girls EH and save
Speaker 1: their legacy, while some family members of a newly orphaned
Speaker 1: student have ulterior motives for trying to gain his custody
Speaker 1: and if even the synopsis was confusing, wait until we
Speaker 1: get into the film.
Speaker 3: Early thoughts, Sabrina, what did you think?
Speaker 4: I want you to know this is one of my
Speaker 4: spring seas. But it just has to be said right
Speaker 4: from the start. As soon as the trumpet started playing,
Speaker 4: I rolled my eyes and was like, I hate you will.
Speaker 2: Started. The second the trumpet starts playing, I'm like, oh God,
Speaker 2: oh God, here we go. And it did it much
Speaker 2: farther up from that, but that's all right.
Speaker 1: I thought much differently about this film. This is the
Speaker 1: best movie we see. No you know what again brought me.
Speaker 1: The style of film brought me right back to my childhood.
Speaker 1: The big cartoony acting, Yeah, kind of one two three,
Speaker 1: blocking of everything stand here, I will shoot you with
Speaker 1: camera brought me right back to the movies that I
Speaker 1: grew up watching.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I had a much more nostalgic field thing.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 4: The nostalgic field for me again felt like I was
Speaker 4: sort of kind of back at my grandparents house, staying
Speaker 4: over for the weekend, and this is the movie that
Speaker 4: we sat down and watched.
Speaker 3: You know, I forget.
Speaker 2: By the way, how old were you in nineteen eighty none?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you were nine years old. That's what I thought.
Speaker 4: I was nine years old here none you had your
Speaker 4: non birthday that year, you is my non birthday? Yeah, yay,
Speaker 4: but same though. But honestly, that was what I was
Speaker 4: watching when I was going to my grandparents' house.
Speaker 2: That was like again, the.
Speaker 4: Look and the feel of all of it, that costume,
Speaker 4: the like you said, the acting, the very over.
Speaker 3: The top acting.
Speaker 4: I think when I if I had watched this at
Speaker 4: sitting on there, you know, the floor of their family room,
Speaker 4: I probably would have been cracking up because I loved
Speaker 4: that when I was little, that kind of acting was
Speaker 4: so funny to me. Just yeah, And then my grandparents
Speaker 4: would crack up because they loved when I did my
Speaker 4: belly giggle.
Speaker 2: Like that kind of stuff was really fun of me.
Speaker 5: That's what. So I agree.
Speaker 2: But the trumpet plane, it's they just got me right
Speaker 2: into that life.
Speaker 3: Damn you for.
Speaker 5: Nice.
Speaker 1: This movie was directed by Bruce Bilson, a high profile
Speaker 1: TV director from the sixties and the seventies, working heavily
Speaker 1: on Oh and now I'm I'm going to say, folks,
Speaker 1: some television shows and stuff with our actors, directors, everything
Speaker 1: we're doing here that we really need to get into
Speaker 1: because it is some of my favorite things of all times,
Speaker 1: so working heavily on Get Smart, which you want an Emmy,
Speaker 1: four Hogan's Heroes, The Odd Couple and Mash my favorite
Speaker 1: show of all time. And a fun fact about Bilson
Speaker 1: Slash as hr Nightmare. Just months after filming the Ghost
Speaker 1: of Bucksley Hall, he would end up marrying actress Renee Jarrett,
Speaker 1: who played Miss Emily Wakefield and then only acted maybe
Speaker 1: one or two more times after this and they are
Speaker 1: still married to Wow since nineteen eighty If you do
Speaker 1: the math, that's almost twenty years ago in my head.
Speaker 3: Anyway.
Speaker 1: Movie stars Dick O'Neil as General. It's supposed to sound
Speaker 1: like Ulysses, but it's Ulis d Bucksley. O'Neill is best
Speaker 1: known for his roles in the original Taking a Pelm, one, two, three,
Speaker 1: and The Jerk, but was also a massive veteran of TV,
Speaker 1: appearing on everything from Three's Company to Mash two, Boy
Speaker 1: Meets World, Yes, Wow, Alan and Eric by Alan, Eric
Speaker 1: and Amy really by the Wilderness store Front. Then you
Speaker 1: got Victor French played Sergeant Major Chester b.
Speaker 3: Sweet.
Speaker 1: French was the star of Highway to Heaven, Little House
Speaker 1: on the Prairie where he played Isaiah Edwards. They were
Speaker 1: both totally iconic roles and amazing television shows, but he
Speaker 1: appeared in so much more, including Gun Smoke, Bonanza, and Tarzan.
Speaker 1: This is one of the reasons why I love doing
Speaker 1: older movies because these actors were in some of the
Speaker 1: most influential television movies of all time.
Speaker 5: So cool.
Speaker 1: Louise Latham, another huge just banger, played Bettina Bucksley, and
Speaker 1: she was seen in classic movies like Alfred Hitchcock's Marnie,
Speaker 1: The Philadelphia Experiment, and basically every TV show over the era,
Speaker 1: including The Waltons and The Six Million Dollar Man. My brother,
Speaker 1: by the way, little off story, until he was nine
Speaker 1: years old, didn't ever run without going no no no
Speaker 1: no no no no no no no no no no
Speaker 1: no no no no, no no no.
Speaker 3: Which is how The Six Million Dollar Man ran.
Speaker 1: So he would literally run in slow motion while doing
Speaker 1: the own sound effects for himself until he was like.
Speaker 2: No, that is the cutest thing I have ever.
Speaker 3: Until you're in a race, and then it's awful.
Speaker 1: The three of them played the ghosts of the movie
Speaker 1: and were all established amazing workers in Hollywood at the time.
Speaker 1: Then we've got Monty Markham, who plays Colonel Joe Bucksley,
Speaker 1: also a big TV mainstay on things like Dallas, The
Speaker 1: Love Boat, Fantasy Island, and so many more. But most importantly,
Speaker 1: he would appear on over forty episodes of Baywatch as
Speaker 1: Captain Don Thorpe.
Speaker 3: They've just been in all the greatest stuff ever.
Speaker 2: Baywatch a classic for you.
Speaker 3: It is, well, you know the funny thing.
Speaker 1: So we just had Kelly Packard on Podmets World and
Speaker 1: I told her I've known her for years. I've never
Speaker 1: seen a single episode of Baywatch in my entire life.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 3: I never seen a single episode of Baywatch. Isn't that true?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 3: Well, I know never.
Speaker 1: Vito Scotti played the ridiculous Count Sergio Luceesi di Gonzini,
Speaker 1: And this guy was in so much great stuff.
Speaker 3: He played Nazarene and The Godfather, big kind of film.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: And he was one of the voices in Disney's The Aristocrats.
Speaker 2: So cool.
Speaker 1: There's also a bunch of child actors that went on
Speaker 1: to do other things. We'll talk about them a little
Speaker 1: bit later. Because the kids didn't play as big a
Speaker 1: role in this as I thought they were going to.
Speaker 1: For a Disney movie They kind of came and went,
Speaker 1: but here we go. The mo movie, when set as
Speaker 1: just one part instead of the two parts Broken Up,
Speaker 1: is ninety two minutes too off from the celebrated Bullseye.
Speaker 1: It was written by cy Gomberg, who was an outspooken
Speaker 1: activist against quote gratuitous and unpunished violence unquote in movies
Speaker 1: and TV.
Speaker 3: Sounds like he'd be fun to hang with that parties.
Speaker 1: He also won the nineteen fifty one OSCAR for Best
Speaker 1: Story with When Willie Comes Marching Home, and again that
Speaker 1: same year he was nominated for Best Screenplay with Summerstock,
Speaker 1: starring Judy Garland and Gene Kelly Man. He left us
Speaker 1: in two thousand and one, but I'm sure he will
Speaker 1: be rolling over in his grave as I also mentioned
Speaker 1: that he wrote an episode of Small Wonder, which, next
Speaker 1: to Mama's Family, might be the worst sitcom of all time.
Speaker 3: Oh that was a tough one to get through, and
Speaker 3: he shared the credit with Rick Middleman.
Speaker 1: Like most people involved in this movie, Middleman was a
Speaker 1: TV veteran with scripts on Mash, Karen mcgever and Welcome
Speaker 1: Back Codter, Welcome Back, Miss got it?
Speaker 3: Okay, did you get any of what I just said, Srina.
Speaker 3: You didn't get any of those references, did.
Speaker 2: You, mister Carter?
Speaker 3: Yes, you watched Welcome Back Carter?
Speaker 2: I did. I watched NICKD Night a lot when I
Speaker 2: was young.
Speaker 3: Okay, our good, I'd love to hear it. Yeah, So
Speaker 3: now I know. I tried my hardest to give this
Speaker 3: movie a synopsis.
Speaker 1: But also there are a ton of storylines going on
Speaker 1: at one time.
Speaker 3: God, was this movie easy to follo over you?
Speaker 4: No, I'm telling you, this movie took me seven hundred
Speaker 4: hours to watch Will because there.
Speaker 2: Was just so it just kind of it almost over.
Speaker 3: Like did you stop and start and stop and starts.
Speaker 4: I had to or kind of go wait and like
Speaker 4: went back because I felt like I missed something, because
Speaker 4: how come how did we not finish.
Speaker 2: That conversation exactly? You know what I mean.
Speaker 4: It was just like it took me so long, and
Speaker 4: then I was like overstimulated at some point, so I
Speaker 4: had to go back. I just was, you know, and
Speaker 4: then I started it again the next day. It just
Speaker 4: kind of it took me a long time to get
Speaker 4: through this. And then the second time I definitely did
Speaker 4: a quick skimming of you know, got it, got it,
Speaker 4: got it, got it type of thing.
Speaker 1: I'm going to admit to you it took me. I
Speaker 1: did it in piecemeal as well. Yeah, and I only
Speaker 1: watched it once.
Speaker 4: Well, I was just trying to get as many like
Speaker 4: Sabrina seas that weren't just like kind of dumb, you know.
Speaker 2: And I really did probably still didn't about it because.
Speaker 4: It was it was rough, Okay, I like I tell
Speaker 4: you, I don't disagree. It takes me a lot to not
Speaker 4: text people when I'm irritated with them.
Speaker 2: And I really held back for like an entire week.
Speaker 2: Here will just kidding, who is it irritated? I so wish.
Speaker 4: I mean, this is what happens when you literally pick
Speaker 4: from a poster.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: I also, for the record, I don't know if this
Speaker 1: is this is a side tangent, but I've been told
Speaker 1: that from from now on, I will be picking all
Speaker 1: the films.
Speaker 2: I disagree. I disagree.
Speaker 3: Oh it's so fun.
Speaker 1: So does the idea that the film is now the
Speaker 1: color of dull crayon and everyone involved in it was
Speaker 1: famous from shows that even gen xer is barely remembered.
Speaker 3: Did that make it a tough watch for you? Yes?
Speaker 3: Did it make it kind of a tough watch for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but folks, let's buckle up, Harry jeez. We open
Speaker 1: outside of Bucksley Military Academy and the sign reads established
Speaker 1: eighteen seventy six by General Bucksley. And then we hear
Speaker 1: the sound you'll get very, very used to Sabrina's favorite sound,
Speaker 1: terrible bugle playing a meager group of military school students,
Speaker 1: and there are they're like fifteen of them, but they're
Speaker 1: supposed to be.
Speaker 3: It's not a budget thing. They're supposed to be.
Speaker 1: The school on a downslide watches the American flag as
Speaker 1: it's raised. Then the Colonel, a Bucksley descendant, watches on.
Speaker 1: He's accompanied by the manager of a local bank and
Speaker 1: it's loan officer. They don't seem happy about the attendance
Speaker 1: or financial state of the institution. The students leave for
Speaker 1: class just as a school bus pulls in. It reads
Speaker 1: Wakefield School for Girls.
Speaker 3: On the side.
Speaker 1: We also see that the janitor is changing the front sign.
Speaker 1: It's becoming the Bucksley Academy for.
Speaker 3: Boys and Girls.
Speaker 1: And they didn't even think about adding the Wakefield's name,
Speaker 1: but we will get to that later. It's because she's
Speaker 1: a woman and women suck that seems to be an
Speaker 1: ongoing thing in the film. So there's going to be
Speaker 1: a merger between these two schools to help the Academy's
Speaker 1: financial troubles, and that's the reason that the big brass
Speaker 1: bankers are there in the first place. But the giggly
Speaker 1: nature of these new girls and their principle, the confident
Speaker 1: and bouncy Miss Wakefield, have a totally opposite vibe. Then
Speaker 1: the armed boys of Bucksley, Miss Wakefield and Colonel Bucksley
Speaker 1: start to bump heads almost immediately, but all the teens
Speaker 1: are noticeably stoked because you know, boys and girls, and
Speaker 1: they're all going through puberty, and it's a whole new
Speaker 1: situation which is going to lead to Shenanigan's goings on
Speaker 1: and trouble.
Speaker 3: The bankers have doubts about this merger helping anyone.
Speaker 1: Both schools are in financial trouble, but Buxley and Miss
Speaker 1: Wakefield think now that the school is going co ed,
Speaker 1: it'll see a spike in enrollment. And so how the
Speaker 1: president of the bank agrees, and he recommends a lone
Speaker 1: extension of six months. But what seems like a charitable
Speaker 1: gesture is really just giving the building enough time to
Speaker 1: get on its feet and even fetch more money when
Speaker 1: they dump it for profit. This was one of the
Speaker 1: first times where I went, Okay, wait, they're merging the
Speaker 1: schools together. That's great, But why isn't it then a
Speaker 1: military school for boys and girls or a non military
Speaker 1: school for boys and girls.
Speaker 3: Why is it that it's a.
Speaker 1: Regular school for the girls but still a military school
Speaker 1: for the boys.
Speaker 4: When I watched it the second time, it's an obvious.
Speaker 4: It's very much a situation of they just did it
Speaker 4: and thought.
Speaker 2: We would work out the kinks as we go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was no actual clear direction or anything settled on.
Speaker 4: It was literally just bring the girls to the dormitory
Speaker 4: and the school and we'll just go from there. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's just it's instantly like, of course, there's gonna be chaos.
Speaker 2: You guys don't know what the hell is going on.
Speaker 3: Also, the bankers.
Speaker 2: They set the bankers up as being bad as the villains.
Speaker 4: You think this is where we're meeting the villains, and
Speaker 4: then we don't see them till the very end of
Speaker 4: the movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're kind of good.
Speaker 4: The one the guy that suggests about making a bigger profit,
Speaker 4: completely goes away and then comes back and he doesn't
Speaker 4: seem like a bad guy at all.
Speaker 3: Right, It's like, yeah, so okay, it's a little jar.
Speaker 4: It's already getting very foggy, Yeah, very strang we're and
Speaker 4: we're two and a half.
Speaker 1: Minutes in, so right, wonder already lost lost the plot.
Speaker 1: We're about ninety seconds in we are back at the
Speaker 1: Bucksley Academy. We get our first Disney drinking scene as
Speaker 1: the custodian from earlier finds his wine or whiskey whatever
Speaker 1: it is, stashed in the study and takes a big
Speaker 1: old swig of it in front of two very realistic
Speaker 1: portraits of the school's founding fathers. So we've now seen
Speaker 1: some drinking and dcoms, and I have to say it
Speaker 1: still shocks me every time we see it.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, this was by far the biggest drinking situation.
Speaker 3: But bo, he's a raging alcoholic.
Speaker 4: He's a alcoholic and just drunk and the like the
Speaker 4: president of the schools, everyone knows about it.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not a secret.
Speaker 4: You don't even know why he even bothers putting it
Speaker 4: in the trophy, because you might as well just have
Speaker 4: it right there on his workstation bench.
Speaker 3: Openly drink, yes at this point.
Speaker 4: But again, back then that was a funny thing. It
Speaker 4: wasn't a serious thing like it's looked at now at all.
Speaker 2: You know, it's a funny thing. It made somebody a
Speaker 2: funny character.
Speaker 3: Yeah, as opposed to horribly horribly ill.
Speaker 7: Right.
Speaker 1: So, the painted pioneers we see in these these wonderful
Speaker 1: portraits are the great great grandfather and grandmother are the
Speaker 1: current headmaster Buxley and his sergeant, Major Sweet, which is
Speaker 1: a great name for a candy stort. Just as the
Speaker 1: now drunk custodian leaves, the portraits come to life.
Speaker 3: Boom, they jump out of the painting.
Speaker 1: They have a real Vigo Ghostbusters two things going on,
Speaker 1: Oh but thy wood. The men start complaining about girls
Speaker 1: joining the academy because their deathbed promise was to keep
Speaker 1: the school as it was forever, which is of course
Speaker 1: a big old sausage party. The great grandmother, Betina Bucksley,
Speaker 1: seems interested in women's rights, but the men could care
Speaker 1: less about our opinion. And in the process of sexism,
Speaker 1: we learned that the ghosts can't be seen or heard
Speaker 1: by any living humans unless they will it. Keep that
Speaker 1: in mind, because it's going to get confusing and yet
Speaker 1: come back in the future. So the painting ghosts freely
Speaker 1: walk the halls, impressed by the indoor plumbing because this
Speaker 1: is the first time ever out of the paintings.
Speaker 2: There was so I guess that's what I mean.
Speaker 4: I guess they've never been out of the paintings, which
Speaker 4: they've been there for so long. There's a h already
Speaker 4: sort of a dynamic between the janitor and the sergeant.
Speaker 2: Right right, but they but yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4: I get I was confused too, because there's another part
Speaker 4: where he goes and looks at a gun when he
Speaker 4: picks up when he gets the gun, and he's.
Speaker 3: Like, oh, what's this?
Speaker 1: What's wait a minute a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was kind of strange.
Speaker 3: It didn't make any sense, didn't make sense.
Speaker 1: And it's like they've been they could leave whenever they
Speaker 1: want to, but they'd never walk the halls of their
Speaker 1: own institution.
Speaker 3: I didn't understand.
Speaker 1: What was going on. So, yeah, why would they have
Speaker 1: never popped out in a hundred years? Yea, And our
Speaker 1: girls entering the academy must be so big that they
Speaker 1: have to leave their paint.
Speaker 5: Believe it or not.
Speaker 3: It started to not really make sense at this point.
Speaker 3: They had me until here and also.
Speaker 2: For four minutes, right, But it's good for you.
Speaker 1: They don't know the rules of anything, so the people
Speaker 1: can see the ghost actions, like they'll see an invisible
Speaker 1: person drinking from the water fountain, like they'll see the
Speaker 1: water fountain or just the gun floating like you said.
Speaker 1: But the rules are totally arbitrary. They just kind of
Speaker 1: it's whatever they need whenever it is. And yeah, I
Speaker 1: would they know when how would anyone know if they've
Speaker 1: left the paintings.
Speaker 3: But if they didn't, then.
Speaker 4: What Sometimes Yeah, sometimes it doesn't make it. It doesn't
Speaker 4: seem like it matters for them to get back to
Speaker 4: the painting, right because you would think with how often
Speaker 4: they're out of the painting throughout this movie, that they
Speaker 4: would that would have been noticed more than just the
Speaker 4: one time that the janitor sees it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's strange. I I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 1: But this is why, Sabrina, why I'm never gonna let
Speaker 1: you just pick a movie for us based on a poster.
Speaker 3: Again, so strange that you picked this one. It's fine.
Speaker 2: By this time, I've rewound it four times to try to.
Speaker 3: Hell's going on either way.
Speaker 1: The mostly tipsy janitor who only sees things floating in
Speaker 1: the air and such, and he's constantly running away when
Speaker 1: you sees something it's it's an actually does fifty thousand
Speaker 1: times in this movie. I'm not even gonna tell you
Speaker 1: how many times he does it, but it talk about
Speaker 1: cartoony performances.
Speaker 3: At one point he literally goes full scooby doo. Yeah,
Speaker 3: really it is straight up. The only thing missing was
Speaker 3: pulling the.
Speaker 1: Mask off somebody and going old man cheevers Ooh, I
Speaker 1: would have gotten away with it if worn for you
Speaker 1: meddling kids, I mean full scooby doo. Oh. So Miss
Speaker 1: Wakefield and Colonel Bucksley continue to clash with the idea
Speaker 1: of integrating women into the military school. He wants separate
Speaker 1: but equal. She wants everything shared. But with the one
Speaker 1: hundred years of history the school has, even the male
Speaker 1: ghost agree to keep them women away. They have vaginas,
Speaker 1: and vaginas are gross. Meanwhile, a new recruit has arrived,
Speaker 1: the Air of Ross Industries, Jeremy, the six foot tall
Speaker 1: kid compared to everybody else to the school. He's a big,
Speaker 1: rich Nepo baby, and the school is dying to sign
Speaker 1: him up. He's accompanied by his uncle George and his
Speaker 1: aunt Ernestine, who is married to this big, over the top,
Speaker 1: real quote unquote count from Italy named Sergio, who is
Speaker 1: another It's like, yes, do CARTOONI.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, as soon as he started talking as like,
Speaker 2: oh man, will is gonna rip him?
Speaker 3: Oh man? It's just so cartoony.
Speaker 4: It's on a character level. I don't think I've ever
Speaker 4: felt so bad.
Speaker 2: For a character in one of the movies we've seen.
Speaker 4: He every everyone disrespects this guy. He is the most
Speaker 4: disrespected character we have ever had in our deeper ship. Yes,
Speaker 4: it is so sad how much his wife doesn't care,
Speaker 4: His wife's chauffeur doesn't give it.
Speaker 2: Nobody cares about Sergio.
Speaker 1: And.
Speaker 3: Even the ghosts leave him alone. It's nerd. So it is.
Speaker 1: While Jeremy's family chats with the colonel alone, Jeremy meets
Speaker 1: Posey Taylor, a firecracker little girl in a feminist T
Speaker 1: shirt who offers him gum who has a real Tatum
Speaker 1: O'Neill vibe going on. Yes, And I actually googled her
Speaker 1: because I was like, what's going on?
Speaker 3: She's so Tatum O'Neil.
Speaker 1: It turns out she actually took over Tatum O'Neill's role
Speaker 1: in Bad News Bears from the movie. She did the
Speaker 1: same role on the television show, so other people obviously
Speaker 1: saw her as a little Tatum O'Neill as well. She's
Speaker 1: a firegracker little girl in a feminist shirt who offers
Speaker 1: him gum.
Speaker 3: Jeremy admits he's.
Speaker 1: Been kicked out of a ton of schools, and we
Speaker 1: get the feeling that both his parents are dead. We
Speaker 1: also meet the kiss Butt Cadet Captain Hubert Fletcher, an
Speaker 1: overachieving student who already has problems with Posey and Ross.
Speaker 1: Inside the meeting with the Ross family and Bucksley, Uncle
Speaker 1: George wants him to enroll immediately. He loves the school,
Speaker 1: but Aunt Ernestine and her perfume Jigglo seventh husband want
Speaker 1: to take him back to their house. They are fighting
Speaker 1: over legal guardianship, and we find out it's because Ernestine
Speaker 1: are Italian. Dude just want the resulting ten million dollars
Speaker 1: inheritance he's going to get. They want to control it,
Speaker 1: and the back and forth is all in front of
Speaker 1: the ghost great grandfather Bucksley, who they can't see he's
Speaker 1: learning what he's up against. We talked a little bit
Speaker 1: about Count Sergio, but what else did you think of him?
Speaker 2: I mean, I thought he was so funny.
Speaker 4: Obviously, again, him and the Janitor both took me into
Speaker 4: that over the top comedies from the eighties that you
Speaker 4: saw and that was really funny at the time.
Speaker 2: You know now and.
Speaker 3: You Atga Goga Ghosts, right.
Speaker 4: It did not now obviously if you put it into
Speaker 4: like a current movie, it would be too much, it
Speaker 4: wouldn't be taken well. But back then it worked and
Speaker 4: you just that was again, we have to do it
Speaker 4: with so many of these movies, especially the older ones,
Speaker 4: for me to remind myself kid kid comedy. And then
Speaker 4: now it's like in the eighties, you know, you gotta
Speaker 4: kind of put yourself when this movie was made.
Speaker 1: So in the end, Jeremy decides, thanks to Posey, he
Speaker 1: will stay at Bucksley, which is now infested with girls.
Speaker 1: The count yells Mozzarella, as all Italian people do when they.
Speaker 3: Leave a room, literally yells Mozzarella.
Speaker 4: There's a there's a different one from a different character
Speaker 4: that just randomly happens.
Speaker 2: Later, I can't wait to say it's Sabrina sea because
Speaker 2: it's just like, it's.
Speaker 3: Like, what the hell is going on? There are a
Speaker 3: lot of what the hell was that.
Speaker 4: Moment hits just random line Mazarella.
Speaker 1: See Mazla who says that Uncle George says, if Bucksley
Speaker 1: can keep Jeremy in school, he promises a massive donation
Speaker 1: that would cover their debt, an idea that thrills Colonel Bucksley.
Speaker 1: This would mean they won't need to merge with Wakefield
Speaker 1: to save the school, though it's too late to change
Speaker 1: it now. However, he thinks the females will be so
Speaker 1: exhausted following their new military schedule that they will drop
Speaker 1: out by the end of the week because girls have
Speaker 1: weak arms and the male painting ghosts love this idea.
Speaker 1: They love the plan, especially after hearing that West Point
Speaker 1: and Annapolis now let in women because again they hate women.
Speaker 1: This is a big kind of theme through this, like
Speaker 1: Girls Bad. I get what they were going for to
Speaker 1: show how strong girls were, but it was a real
Speaker 1: girl's bad.
Speaker 3: Kind of movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the ghost Sergeant Chester will make sure the new
Speaker 1: cadets love the school, but they need to keep the
Speaker 1: quote um quote haunting to a minimum in order to
Speaker 1: keep the building's value up, because no one is going
Speaker 1: to buy a haunted house, unless, of course, it's twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four and true crime podcasts are hot and you
Speaker 1: want to be in multiple murder house.
Speaker 3: Yikes.
Speaker 1: Back at school, there's a party and it's it seemed
Speaker 1: to involve drinking in loud music. Did you think the
Speaker 1: kids were drinking the same vibe?
Speaker 2: Well, what are they doing? What's happening? I mean, are
Speaker 2: we in the Can't Hardly Wait movie?
Speaker 3: Right now?
Speaker 2: What's that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it seemed like the little kids are boozing to me.
Speaker 3: I'm sure they weren't.
Speaker 1: No, but maybe you red Solo Cup hadn't caught on
Speaker 1: as just meaning drinking back in the day.
Speaker 5: But I will say sorry to cut in here. Yeah,
Speaker 5: the janitor does say you guys can't drink that. What
Speaker 5: else would he be referencing.
Speaker 2: That's a good it's a great call. So they're drinking right, Yeah?
Speaker 6: Soda?
Speaker 5: I mean, you can't be drinking soda. It seems weird.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think all these kids are boozing.
Speaker 5: The middles just wasted in the middle of the day.
Speaker 2: In the middle the day, that isn't that where?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 3: You know, Sabena in nineteen eighty.
Speaker 1: The drinking age was sixteen, So I mean, you're not
Speaker 1: that it's not that different from where it was.
Speaker 5: So it was, it was well, not everywhere, not like Federally.
Speaker 1: You know what, dude, I was trying to get her
Speaker 1: and you just jumped in and saved it.
Speaker 5: Don't worry. We still love the quiz to go.
Speaker 3: I know I had her though I had her for
Speaker 3: two seconds.
Speaker 2: I know you are lying. I knew it.
Speaker 5: I was saying. My problem with it is that it
Speaker 5: was thirteen Federally exactly.
Speaker 2: See these guys, but it seemed like they were drinking.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Painting Ghost.
Speaker 1: Grandma Betina is interested in what's going on in the school.
Speaker 1: She's obviously intrigued by the girls and the invention of
Speaker 1: the hair dryer, something that once again scares the janitor
Speaker 1: when she comes in and picks it up and he
Speaker 1: just sees a floating hair dryer. But weirdly here she
Speaker 1: does it in front of all the girls, but none
Speaker 1: of them notice it or say anything about them floating.
Speaker 4: They don't even show them. After the shot they show
Speaker 4: the hairdryer. The janitor sees it, he runs out end
Speaker 4: of scene. That's again another thing. What are the girls
Speaker 4: freaked out because that would have probably freaked out a
Speaker 4: bunch of girls, right, I think, And girls get more
Speaker 4: jittery than.
Speaker 1: What would have freaked you out more though at that age,
Speaker 1: floating hair dryer in the middle of the room, or
Speaker 1: drunken old man janitor in the middle of your room without.
Speaker 4: Knocking right, well, I imagine he again was kind of
Speaker 4: everywhere all the time.
Speaker 1: I know, but now you've got girls in the school, man,
Speaker 1: you can't just be opening random doors anymore.
Speaker 3: Bro, nobody cares out.
Speaker 2: In the eighties, they feel like that was not a thing.
Speaker 3: Probably No.
Speaker 1: The janitor, by the way, whose name is Ben Ben,
Speaker 1: he even goes and he sees the empty paintings since
Speaker 1: the ghost you're out walking around the school, but he
Speaker 1: can't prove it to anyone else in time. He's so
Speaker 1: don knots mister Furley, Oh Jay, the goth I mean,
Speaker 1: it was so over the top and it's a ton
Speaker 1: of fun.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 1: The Count and Count Tessa return home to have very
Speaker 1: cheap cold duck wine, which was the thing, because the
Speaker 1: truth is, we find out they are actually broke. They
Speaker 1: need to control the nephew's fortune just or survive, so
Speaker 1: she plans on making an offer for the school, but
Speaker 1: her condition is the girls have to leave, knowing she
Speaker 1: doesn't have the money. Once the girls leave, she'll pull
Speaker 1: her fake offer. It is a very convoluted kind of
Speaker 1: way of doing this, but she does. She'll pull her
Speaker 1: fake offer, and Bucksley will have to close, now footing
Speaker 1: the entire mortgage. The closure will of course leave Jeremy
Speaker 1: without a school or a reason to be there with
Speaker 1: his bachelor uncle, so.
Speaker 3: He's gonna move again. I'm just going, wait, what's the plan.
Speaker 1: And then to really escalate this plan, this is where
Speaker 1: I'm like, are you you get ready to beleeve?
Speaker 3: Because I literally yelled are you me?
Speaker 1: The plan when Jeremy then turns twenty one in eight years,
Speaker 1: he gets control of his bank account. But the aunt
Speaker 1: Ernestine says, essentially, well, what if he doesn't make it
Speaker 1: to twenty one, she's planning on killing it.
Speaker 5: It's not essentially she's planning on killing him.
Speaker 3: She's planning on killing him.
Speaker 1: She's going to kill her nephew in a Disney movie, Yes,
Speaker 1: to gain his fortune. And she even already has the goon.
Speaker 1: She's like, this is why I hire exits.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but this then then it alludes to her other husbands,
Speaker 4: like what happened to them?
Speaker 2: Why is she on number seven? Has she killed six men?
Speaker 3: Yeah? This is a serial killer.
Speaker 2: Got a serial killer on a Disney movie.
Speaker 5: She definitely killed her husband six.
Speaker 4: Yes, we have a serial killer on a Disney movie
Speaker 4: Running Free. Yeah, just it was it was wow, wow
Speaker 4: a n A n as.
Speaker 3: This movie was bananas.
Speaker 1: But again, think about old school Disney. You're talking Kuela
Speaker 1: Deville making a jacket out of dogs villains.
Speaker 3: But this so, this is the crazy aunt who wants to.
Speaker 2: Kill the guy her nephew nephew.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Jeremy can't sleep at school, so he wakes up
Speaker 1: Posey to talk. He just walks into a room in
Speaker 1: the middle of the night, and she doesn't want to
Speaker 1: wake up any of her roommates, so she suggests they
Speaker 1: go to his room, even though he says his room
Speaker 1: is probably a jinx and that's why both of his
Speaker 1: parents died in a car accident, that he's a drink anyway,
Speaker 1: he gives it. The military kids and girls, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, they get into a big fight upstairs because
Speaker 1: the guys were trying to prank them. The girls pull
Speaker 1: the prank like double prank, and they becomes a pillow fight,
Speaker 1: causing Colonel Buxley and Miss Wakefield to wake up and
Speaker 1: they bust Posey and Jeremy for being in the same room. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest, up until this point, I didn't
Speaker 1: really see them as love interests, did you, because it
Speaker 1: seemed like they were kind of way different in age.
Speaker 1: They might not have been, but just the casting made
Speaker 1: them look like way different in age to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I guess did.
Speaker 3: You think they were? It was a love interesting It.
Speaker 2: Didn't surprise me that it. I mean, when it happened,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I'm asking still is it?
Speaker 1: I don't know, because I mean he says things like
Speaker 1: if she leaves, I don't know what I'll do. I'm
Speaker 1: not leaving without her. He's holding her hand as they're
Speaker 1: going up the hill. I mean she might just be short.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Maybe that's why I wasn't too worried about it, because
Speaker 4: that was just me.
Speaker 2: I just everyone was so tall. I looked eight years
Speaker 2: younger than ever.
Speaker 3: Maybe that's what it is. How tall are you?
Speaker 2: I'm five foot okay?
Speaker 1: How tall were you when you were say? At a
Speaker 1: military school in the eighties. None none none fee exactly
Speaker 1: you are none fee.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so still I still don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it was weird.
Speaker 4: There was no actual development. It just kind of stays
Speaker 4: at this one level of whatever it is. He definitely
Speaker 4: cared about her. It seemed more than friends. But that
Speaker 4: could be brother and sister and not.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 5: It felt brothers sister to me, even when the credits roll.
Speaker 3: I don't disagree with that sentiment.
Speaker 1: It kind of felt that way to me too, But
Speaker 1: then it also felt weird at times.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Bucksley wants Posey expelled, but he's no reason why
Speaker 1: he's gonna bust Jeremy because he's the school's mill ticket.
Speaker 3: The ghost General.
Speaker 1: Bucksley loves the infighting with the girls school, but his
Speaker 1: wife Bertina is starting to speak up about how women belong,
Speaker 1: and this causes her ghost husband to say, quote, you're
Speaker 1: just a woman. You can't expect to understand these things,
Speaker 1: then send her off to make his brandy. With one
Speaker 1: last piece of encouragement, he does say, good woman.
Speaker 4: Get him, Bertina, you get him, get him, get him.
Speaker 1: Then Jeremy tries to run away because we've also learned
Speaker 1: that he's run away from many, many, many of these
Speaker 1: schools before he's completely shaking the ghost sergeant that is
Speaker 1: supposed to be following him, but remember he does know
Speaker 1: that he is a shadow. He eventually finds a nearby
Speaker 1: barn and hides in it because it's hees headlights, so
Speaker 1: he's trying to get away from it. The sergeant does
Speaker 1: eventually catch up, and instead of letting Jeremy leave for
Speaker 1: his aunts, he decides, ooh, he's gonna break the ghost
Speaker 1: rules and show himself. The ghost gig is up. Did
Speaker 1: this at this point kind of feel like the whole
Speaker 1: premise for the movie was over. It kind of felt
Speaker 1: like it just the ghost guy gave up real quick.
Speaker 1: He didn't do anything ghostly. It's just like, here, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna show you myself and then tell you what's
Speaker 1: going on.
Speaker 2: No, I mean, I feel there was nothing else he
Speaker 2: could do.
Speaker 1: How about tripping him or I mean, yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: we're knocking his bag away or for me, it.
Speaker 4: Was the scene of what he was gonna do with
Speaker 4: the car and him seeing a car for the first time.
Speaker 1: But yeah, he waits a hundred years to get out
Speaker 1: of the painting and then gives up in ten minutes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's being private about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just needed a friend. I feel like he
Speaker 2: needed a friend just as much as Jeremy.
Speaker 1: So straight maybe they're the friendship that really what was
Speaker 1: what this film was about?
Speaker 3: Yeah, was strange.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it's strange or weird or bizarre a
Speaker 1: thousand times in this episode.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: When Posey herself eventually arrives at the barm, she convinces
Speaker 1: Jeremy to return to school and doesn't see the ghost
Speaker 1: because he the sergeant, is not letting her see them.
Speaker 1: The Count and Countess run into the janitor at a
Speaker 1: local restaurant and he gets drunk more drinking and he
Speaker 1: spills the beans he's been seeing the ghosts, but they
Speaker 1: don't believe him. However, this does lead the Countess to
Speaker 1: an idea, let's personally haunt the school because that is
Speaker 1: a good way to get the girls to leave.
Speaker 3: Everyone wants these girls to leave. They go home. They
Speaker 3: throw a sheet over the count again.
Speaker 1: Straight up Scooby Doo throw a sheet over the count
Speaker 1: and the hip man security guard and boom, just like
Speaker 1: that they are ghosts. We also get a Mamma Mia
Speaker 1: from the Count that once again is proving the Italians
Speaker 1: only know things that super Mario has said.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 1: The next day at school, it's our first class, the
Speaker 1: first class ever, which is sex bed.
Speaker 3: It's crazy timing to.
Speaker 5: Go co ed.
Speaker 1: Jeremy arrives late with his invisible sergeant chaperone, and Bucksley
Speaker 1: is teaching. He's very bad at this touchy subject. He
Speaker 1: not eludes, he flat out says, you know your teacher's gone.
Speaker 1: We've no money, so I'm essentially gonna be I'm the
Speaker 1: mister Feenie of the School'm gonna be teaching.
Speaker 2: Every Yeah, mister Fenie.
Speaker 3: It's true.
Speaker 1: Then all of the Wakefield girls enter and Bucksley is
Speaker 1: forced to teach them about sex too.
Speaker 3: It is his nightmare personified.
Speaker 1: He's nervous and is so bad because he's clear this
Speaker 1: man has never had sex before in his life. When
Speaker 1: he asks if there are any questions, all of the
Speaker 1: girls raise their hands. Jeremy and the ghost bodyguard Sergeant Chester,
Speaker 1: meet back up, only for Posey to see him talking
Speaker 1: to himself again, and then Jeremy gets in trouble when
Speaker 1: the cadet and his cronies bust him for sitting on
Speaker 1: the upper classman's bench, also embarrassing him in front of
Speaker 1: his either love interest or little sister friend not sure,
Speaker 1: we still don't know. With this in mind, Jeremy wants
Speaker 1: the ghost sergeant to teach him how to box. He
Speaker 1: wants to beat up the bullies, or at least be
Speaker 1: able to hecked his little friend girlfriend. So as he
Speaker 1: trains once again, the janitor arrives to see him and
Speaker 1: some more ghostly activities and runs away. I'm not mentioning
Speaker 1: all the times it happens where he runs away, but
Speaker 1: it's like fifty percent of the film. Colonel Bucksley and
Speaker 1: Wakefield decide, by the way, it's the worst boxing one
Speaker 1: lesson in boxing ever in the history.
Speaker 2: Of Oh oh my gosh, so funny.
Speaker 3: Just awful. The sergeant couldn't throw a punch himself. It
Speaker 3: was weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Colonel Bucksley and Wakefield are getting closer, though. They decide
Speaker 1: to share their first names with each other, and the
Speaker 1: flirting has officially begun, especially after she sees how good
Speaker 1: he is with kids, what he wants to be. And
Speaker 1: this is something I want to point out here. The
Speaker 1: little kid that runs in totally over the top and says,
Speaker 1: I'm sick my throat, I can't do this. Huh. Is
Speaker 1: the guy from who becomes the best friend on Parker
Speaker 1: Lewis Can't Lose That We've talked about one hundred times
Speaker 1: and was the brother in just one of the guys.
Speaker 3: So I don't know if.
Speaker 1: This was his first ever performance, but I guarantee you
Speaker 1: that was him.
Speaker 3: I would recognize him anywhere.
Speaker 1: I don't know his name, but that was the guy
Speaker 1: that was the wow, So it was by the first time.
Speaker 5: That's Billy Jane, right.
Speaker 3: Yes, isn't that his name? Yeah, Billy Jane right.
Speaker 5: Yeah. He was also in the Burbs, but he's like
Speaker 5: an extra in the Burbs, which is the reason I
Speaker 5: even know who he is.
Speaker 1: I also thought, and we could be wrong, but the
Speaker 1: guy who plays the main kiss up, yeah, the Cadet.
Speaker 3: The Cadet looked so much like him that I think
Speaker 3: that could be his older brother in real life.
Speaker 5: Oh really, I don't know.
Speaker 1: They looked so similar to me that it was like,
Speaker 1: I wonder if those two people are related, because when
Speaker 1: he ran in, I was like, oh my god, just
Speaker 1: one of the guys.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's him.
Speaker 4: Like that was a Lawrence situation. He just happened to
Speaker 4: be on set and.
Speaker 3: On set and let's make a kid, Let's make your
Speaker 3: starf yes.
Speaker 1: So anyway, He also reveals that it is the night
Speaker 1: before Suicide Hill the most extreme for Buxley students, and
Speaker 1: both the boys and girls will participate this year. This
Speaker 1: is another dickish plan to get the girls to leave,
Speaker 1: and the ghost General his great great grandfather loves it.
Speaker 1: Suicide Hill not a name they would put in anything
Speaker 1: at all.
Speaker 4: Did I mean and hurt missus Wakefield like response, suicide Hill?
Speaker 2: Yeah. I also think they're still in high school.
Speaker 4: They still do Hell Week, which when it's said sometimes
Speaker 4: in front of certain parents, they kind of get a
Speaker 4: little weird. I mean, we're so sensitive to those chains
Speaker 4: of words. Yeah, those words. So suicide Hill would just
Speaker 4: absolutely never be said no in a movie or any
Speaker 4: situation ever. Isn't that what you kind of think of
Speaker 4: when when like you said, parents, use you're gonna go
Speaker 4: to boarding school, you're gonna go to military school because
Speaker 4: they have things like suicide.
Speaker 1: Suicide Well you know the other one, ye, the other
Speaker 1: one that was used in all that. It was always
Speaker 1: dead Man's Curve, yeah, or dead Man's Hill, Like, oh no,
Speaker 1: they lost their lives on dead Man's Curve.
Speaker 3: He was always working. But you're right.
Speaker 4: Never ever military esque, military school esque or whatever.
Speaker 3: Would suicide Hill. You'd never hear that.
Speaker 1: Now the Count is murderous chauffeur finally arrived to haunt
Speaker 1: the Buxley School in the middle of the night.
Speaker 3: But they're shenanigans and goings on wake.
Speaker 1: The painting ghosts, who consider them impostures, hope them with
Speaker 1: swords and actually scare them as true to life dead spirits.
Speaker 3: So the sword he's using is a real sword he
Speaker 3: can use.
Speaker 1: It's not a ghost sword like he could literally if
Speaker 1: he wanted to run that guy through with his ghost sword,
Speaker 1: actually kill him.
Speaker 2: I guess. So that's a new rule that we're finding
Speaker 2: as we go.
Speaker 3: I couldn't get the rules.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they weren't set. No, they were not fly at
Speaker 2: the seat of your pants.
Speaker 3: Yes, the rules were fluent. The two bad guys run
Speaker 3: way in absolute fear.
Speaker 1: Sergeant Chester follows them out, and here's the Count read
Speaker 1: the falls them out, and here's the Count reiterating their entire.
Speaker 3: Devious plan for the school.
Speaker 1: Word for word, leaving out no details, because of course,
Speaker 1: bad guys always just repeat their plans loudly when they're scared.
Speaker 1: Either way, now the painting ghosts know exactly what's going on, well,
Speaker 1: not to mention.
Speaker 4: They're screaming. They've left this this this boarding school that
Speaker 4: everyone is sleeping. They are screaming, get off my face.
Speaker 4: They're on top of each other, they're having this old thing.
Speaker 3: No, you're standing on my handella.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And then again he gets completely disrespected because the chauffeur
Speaker 4: is about to leave him like later out Poor poor
Speaker 4: fake County, poor guy oh Man.
Speaker 1: Back in the school, Wakefield and Bucksley argue again over
Speaker 1: who's behind the haunting, the boys or the girls. They
Speaker 1: ditch the first Dame basis and it looks like they
Speaker 1: will never get a chance to make love and this
Speaker 1: man will never understand the touch of a woman or
Speaker 1: how to teach such an education. Did you want to
Speaker 1: become a couple at this point? Were you rooting for
Speaker 1: them in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 2: A little bit?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I mean I think I think he would kind of
Speaker 4: calm her down in a sense, she would soften him
Speaker 4: up and curve his women can't do anything they should.
Speaker 2: Be it should be thrown away species than us type
Speaker 2: of thing. You know, you could see how they could
Speaker 2: benefit from the relationship.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would like to see them together.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Posey unfortunately thinks that the two schools are about to
Speaker 1: head for a divorce, and Jeremy says, if she's gone,
Speaker 1: he'll run away from Bucksley again. I do not know
Speaker 1: if it's a little sister thing or is in love
Speaker 1: with her, But the painting goes. Bettina hears this and
Speaker 1: reports back they need Jeremy to stay at school. To
Speaker 1: save the school. Everyone has to serve Suicide Hill, no
Speaker 1: matter what the sergeant thinks about the girls being in
Speaker 1: the academy. They have to keep it together. So now
Speaker 1: we cut to Suicide Hill day. Everybody is ready, even
Speaker 1: the painting ghosts, but Colonel Bucksley and his great great
Speaker 1: grandfather Ghosts have no plans.
Speaker 3: I'm taking it easy on the girls.
Speaker 1: The general is not listening to his wife, Big Shock
Speaker 1: or Sergeant Chester. And then we get your favorite, which
Speaker 1: is another horribly off key bugle sound and Suicide Hill begins.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to set the stage for you. The girls
Speaker 1: are trying to keep up with the course, which frankly
Speaker 1: just looks like some rocks and weeds until they get
Speaker 1: to the death defying rope slide above the ravine, which is.
Speaker 2: At best a puddle, a mud puddle.
Speaker 1: It's a mud puddle, and so yeah, might I suggest
Speaker 1: calling this the you could get a hangnail hill instead
Speaker 1: of suicide hill, but it is what it is, possibly
Speaker 1: twist an ankle hill. Yeah, so they slide down. He
Speaker 1: slides down first Colonel Bucksley and he lands with a
Speaker 1: flourished boom. Miss Wakefield jumps on and falls in the
Speaker 1: mud puddle and then playfully brings Bucksley in with her.
Speaker 1: He then does one of the best ever in the
Speaker 1: history of film that is not hyperbole incredible face plants ever.
Speaker 1: You see him, He's like shaking. It almost looks like
Speaker 1: they speed up the film. He goes face first. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: But the flirting is back on and the kids are
Speaker 1: loving it. We are now back with the again. I
Speaker 1: said lots of stories, so if I'm saying back to
Speaker 1: your back here, it's because this is how it went.
Speaker 3: It gets We are.
Speaker 1: Back with the count and Countess and drunk Janitor Ben
Speaker 1: is still spilling the tea about the ghosts and giving
Speaker 1: her an idea. She runs to a judge Let's make
Speaker 1: it legal people, her good friend, and pleads for his help.
Speaker 1: She says, Jeremy's in deep trouble. He may do something
Speaker 1: drastic to himself. More suicide talking and Disney gone. She
Speaker 1: needs the judge to see Jeremy. He eventually agrees and
Speaker 1: sets up an appointment at her house the next day.
Speaker 1: Back at Bucksley, Jeremy's looking for Posy, but instead runs
Speaker 1: into the bullies again, but this time he finally stands
Speaker 1: up for himself with his new boxing skills.
Speaker 3: That one lesson, that one time for thirty seconds.
Speaker 1: He learned from the ghost sergeant, and like in any
Speaker 1: good fight, he knocks out the cadet twice while counting
Speaker 1: his punches, completely telegraphing.
Speaker 7: The same spot every single literally one two three, one
Speaker 7: two three, crump, Like, wouldn't you realize to just back
Speaker 7: away three times and then move to the left to
Speaker 7: the crumber right?
Speaker 3: How hard would that be?
Speaker 1: Swivel, I might as well be going up left left
Speaker 1: left right, left left left. Just then Posey walks up
Speaker 1: and breaks the news, Oh no, they are leaving Bucksley.
Speaker 1: Jeremy needs the sergeant to help or he is leaving.
Speaker 1: So finally the sergeant reveals himself to posey. He says,
Speaker 1: you don't want you don't want me to do a lad,
Speaker 1: She's gonna scream. Girls always scream, so he releaals enough
Speaker 1: who only does a small scream. So maybe she's one
Speaker 1: of the good ones.
Speaker 3: But then immediately she falls in line with the idea
Speaker 3: that ghosts exists.
Speaker 1: Kids are pliable. Uh So, I was gonna say, is
Speaker 1: it weird? It's not weird. Kids pick it up right away.
Speaker 1: But I have one question which we haven't addressed at all.
Speaker 3: Are they dating? What's happening?
Speaker 2: I know I feel that.
Speaker 4: I mean, this is when I'm definitely thinking they're a couple.
Speaker 4: You guys still seemed confused. I felt like, first of all,
Speaker 4: the kid's adorable. She's a cutie too, she's cute. Sure
Speaker 4: it has to be. There's just it's gotta be. I
Speaker 4: don't think it's the sister brother thing.
Speaker 5: We know that. Can we guess on the ages?
Speaker 1: I would say they're both twelve. Maybe they're both twelve,
Speaker 1: that would be my guess. Maybe he's fourteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say he was fourteen. She was alive.
Speaker 5: I honestly think she's ten.
Speaker 3: You think she's ten? Oh gee, I.
Speaker 5: Think she's ten and he's fifteen. And that's why I
Speaker 5: was like, this is crazy.
Speaker 4: Oh no, I don't think he was as old as fifteen.
Speaker 4: He was probably thirteen, thirteen eleven. I think it's thirteen eleven.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's good.
Speaker 1: Well he's clearly looking for a pocket full of posy,
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Jeremy doesn't end up needing the
Speaker 1: sergeant or posy. He decides he's going to buy the
Speaker 1: school himself.
Speaker 2: Wait did you just do that? Just out of nowhere?
Speaker 3: Was that I did?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: My god?
Speaker 4: I will yes, will yes, Yes, that's what it's gonna
Speaker 4: Sorry called.
Speaker 3: Fuck yes.
Speaker 1: He decides, though, he's gonna buy the school himself and
Speaker 1: uses oh kids looking up a payphone to calm get
Speaker 1: the money, but he can't reach anyone, so he screwed.
Speaker 1: And that's how the nineteen eighties was no one called.
Speaker 1: If you called, no one was there.
Speaker 3: That's it. You give it.
Speaker 2: You used your one quarter.
Speaker 5: I have an answer on their actor ages.
Speaker 3: Guys, Wait, you have an answer on their actor ages?
Speaker 3: What are they?
Speaker 5: He was fourteen, she was thirteen?
Speaker 2: Okay, see.
Speaker 3: Okay, so that's not to but she was just.
Speaker 4: Sure to stop hating on the short girls. O case
Speaker 4: takes us a little bit of time to get there.
Speaker 3: Ah, you're still waiting on your girls friends.
Speaker 2: I'm still waiting on it.
Speaker 4: At my quarter of an inch that got me to
Speaker 4: five foot happened my sophomore year. There were eleven and
Speaker 4: three quarters of an inch for two years, and I
Speaker 4: finally sophomore year got to that five foot and I
Speaker 4: was fine. I said, God, if this is all you got,
Speaker 4: that's okay, as long as I'm five foot.
Speaker 1: Take this however you want to take it. But a
Speaker 1: quarter of an inch can make all the difference.
Speaker 5: It's just true.
Speaker 3: Just then, I don't know what You're probably good.
Speaker 1: So just then the Countess comes and takes Jeremy away
Speaker 1: for the meeting with the judge, but she pretends it's
Speaker 1: just a dinner.
Speaker 5: This is bad.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be bad people. Sergeant Chester and Patina. I'm
Speaker 1: hopping back because this is how they're doing it. Sergeant
Speaker 1: Chester and Patina then hitch a ride to her house
Speaker 1: with jender Ben in the bus and just start randomly
Speaker 1: pressing buttons while he's driving. Once again, making him feel insane.
Speaker 1: They're trying to drive this man, if not to drink,
Speaker 1: then to suicide Hill. As always, he sprints away, screaming
Speaker 1: goga ga ghosts.
Speaker 3: The movie is just one.
Speaker 1: Big gas lighting session on a poor, sick, drunk customing it.
Speaker 1: By the way, he was driving, yeah, probably should not
Speaker 1: be behind the wheel of a large but no. While
Speaker 1: the bus speeds through town causing some very intense and
Speaker 1: unneeded crash stuns. They also never actually they They showed
Speaker 1: a reaction shot of somebody watching the bus without people driving,
Speaker 1: but they don't actually show the bus without people driving,
Speaker 1: which I thought was very interesting. Yeah, because probably couldn't
Speaker 1: afford to get like a fake steering. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but they just didn't do it. They arrive at the
Speaker 1: count of his house. She uses some of the ghost
Speaker 1: infos she got from jandor Ben and encourages him to
Speaker 1: talk about everything. Come on, Jeremy, tell me what you meant.
Speaker 1: So the judge is listening from another room and none
Speaker 1: of it makes sense. It makes Jeremy look mentally ill,
Speaker 1: and now the judge is ready to change custody so
Speaker 1: that his aunt can take control. The bus, now, of
Speaker 1: course driven by ghost misses the judge by seconds and
Speaker 1: attacks the hitman, chauffeur and the count to enter the
Speaker 1: house so the ghosts can punch.
Speaker 3: People too, which was interesting.
Speaker 1: Now inside, Betina and Sergeant Chester make themselves visible to
Speaker 1: throw a pie in the aunt's face, and she reacts
Speaker 1: like she got shot and the shotgun at a foot away.
Speaker 1: It is such an overreaction to getting hit in the
Speaker 1: face by a pie. Oh man, it was great. Jeremy
Speaker 1: finally gets to another payphone because they were around all
Speaker 1: the time people, they really were. And now he's told
Speaker 1: you can't buy the school, but his uncle says he
Speaker 1: might be able to set up a trust fund so
Speaker 1: that they can keep the school going. And so the
Speaker 1: payphone did work. Go nineteen eighty. It's just the way
Speaker 1: it is. Yes, barely able to make it to her
Speaker 1: feet because she was horribly covered in pie. The Countess
Speaker 1: is now obsessed on buying the school and tearing it down.
Speaker 1: She doesn't even care how much that will cost her.
Speaker 1: This is where the time speeds up.
Speaker 2: She says, she doesn't care how much of his money.
Speaker 1: It'll Yes, I don't care how much of his money
Speaker 1: it's gonna cost me.
Speaker 3: Back at the school. Emily is packing her things to leave.
Speaker 1: Colonel Bucksley tribes one last time time to keep her around,
Speaker 1: because after that sex said class, he'd really like.
Speaker 3: To try it.
Speaker 1: He says, he'll build a separate but equal campus next door.
Speaker 1: But she's just not having it. He doesn't get that
Speaker 1: she wants her name on the sign. She wants to share,
Speaker 1: not be a part of his school. Her mind is
Speaker 1: made up. The girls are moving, and so will Jeremy soon.
Speaker 1: Posey says goodbye to her boyfriend, lover, brother or sister, whatever,
Speaker 1: and things are looking very dim. Just then Sergeant Chester
Speaker 1: and Bettina quickly tell the ghost General the girls can't
Speaker 1: leave because then Jeremy will leave. And then he quickly
Speaker 1: just accepts it. The thing he's been fighting for the
Speaker 1: whole movie, in his whole life, turned around in one second.
Speaker 1: Why couldn't they have told him that earlier in the movie.
Speaker 1: They try at one point, but he's.
Speaker 3: Like, I don't want to hear it. You're a woman.
Speaker 3: Women don't speak, and that's the way that happened.
Speaker 1: Then, like you do in this world, you make one
Speaker 1: phone call to the bank, the several hours later, it
Speaker 1: seems like you arrive as aunt Ernestine does at the
Speaker 1: school with bulldozers.
Speaker 3: And a crew.
Speaker 2: They full crew.
Speaker 1: It is that quick, nothing legal, there's no chance to hey,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, you can't do this. She makes one
Speaker 1: phone call and is somehow able to destroy the school.
Speaker 1: She bought the school from the banker who she has
Speaker 1: intimidated with her hitman chowffeur, and she's ready to destroy
Speaker 1: the campus because of course that's how it legally works.
Speaker 1: The students and the painting ghosts, they all get to work. Okay,
Speaker 1: quick note here we get more bad bugling, But finally
Speaker 1: the Sergeant Chester just rips it from the kid's hands
Speaker 1: and starts to bugle perfectly. By the way, Sabrina, keep
Speaker 1: an eye out for Amazon. I ordered you a bugle.
Speaker 1: You're gonna be great.
Speaker 2: I don't want it. I don't want it.
Speaker 3: You're gonna be great.
Speaker 1: The Countess wrecking Ball, of course, who she's brought, is
Speaker 1: set to demolish it. Seconds away from forever destroying the
Speaker 1: Bucksley Academy, when all of a sudden boom, water comes
Speaker 1: in from water hoses.
Speaker 3: We pan over.
Speaker 1: The girls who we thought had left have come back
Speaker 1: and they are on water canon duty while the boys
Speaker 1: have grabbed shovel and pickaxes and formed a battle line,
Speaker 1: and the fight is underway. The painting Ghosts are shooting
Speaker 1: from cannons from far away, but they're shooting like bubbles
Speaker 1: because drinking's okay in a Disney movie, but cannon balls
Speaker 1: are not. Colonel Bucksley then punches out the chauffeur, which
Speaker 1: of course, is gonna lead to a sequel where they're
Speaker 1: gonna track each other down like full on john Wick
Speaker 1: Matrix style. It's gonna be awesome. It's gonna be called
Speaker 1: Ghosts of Bucksley Hall two. This time it's bucks Ley Er.
Speaker 1: Miss Wakefield sees the punch and is obviously turned on.
Speaker 1: Someone get them back to that sex sid class. Yes,
Speaker 1: the Count and count has try to make a run
Speaker 1: for it, but the painting Ghosts make themselves visible and
Speaker 1: they scare them off the campus for good.
Speaker 3: Sergeant Chester does a.
Speaker 1: Very weird move where he appears all over the front
Speaker 1: steps making goofy faces. He's like jumping down the steps
Speaker 1: and then ends right in front of the camera. The
Speaker 1: married villains leave crying and sounding like they are off
Speaker 1: their nut. This, of course the judge is there, because
Speaker 1: why not. The judge then rejects the change of custody,
Speaker 1: and now Jeremy will go and live with his uncle,
Speaker 1: who apparently he really loved the entire time, which I
Speaker 1: never got that vibe at the beginning either, But he.
Speaker 3: Does and he stays at Bucksley.
Speaker 1: His uncle such a good guy that he's going to
Speaker 1: fund the school completely, of course, with Jeremy's money, but
Speaker 1: under one condition. It has to stay co ed on
Speaker 1: an equal shared level. Bucksley agrees, but he turns and
Speaker 1: needs Emily to agree as well.
Speaker 3: They will be partners. That's the new arrangement. She agrees.
Speaker 1: The school is saved. Maybe girls aren't so icky. The
Speaker 1: painting ghosts are happy. Everybody's happy. Josie and Jeremy either
Speaker 1: now best friends or boyfriend and girlfriend. They go and
Speaker 1: they find Chester, who breaks the news that, as happy
Speaker 1: as he is, he's supposed to go back to his
Speaker 1: painting now that the school is safe. However, last minute,
Speaker 1: he convinces General Bucksley to let him stand guard as
Speaker 1: a lookout for any future issues. Now alone, the General
Speaker 1: and his wife settle into their art, and the General
Speaker 1: says he just can't get used to women being equal.
Speaker 1: He liked when men were men and women knew their place.
Speaker 1: And then he says to Bettina, go open a bottle
Speaker 1: of sherry. But she says, open it yourself, you dick.
Speaker 3: We she does it. She just says open it herself.
Speaker 1: And that's how feminism was born, apparently. And there is
Speaker 1: your film roll credits. Once again, to everyone out there,
Speaker 1: I picked this film and you are welcome.
Speaker 4: Sabrina Gosh, I gotta stretch I gotta stretch it out.
Speaker 1: Who can we do some real reviews. I don't even
Speaker 1: know how anyone found a one star.
Speaker 3: Review of this film.
Speaker 2: Unbelievable, I don't know, but if you could read it,
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 4: Know how many Jensen had to sort through to find
Speaker 4: this one, which is a gem. By the way, this
Speaker 4: one stars from Peter DM. I only watched this movie
Speaker 4: to get it out of my recommended list on Disney Plus.
Speaker 4: This movie is long and boring, with the same over
Speaker 4: and over again.
Speaker 2: There really isn't even a plot.
Speaker 4: It's not scary, it's not funny, it's not a drama.
Speaker 2: It just sits there like a pile of crap.
Speaker 8: Peter, you have been heard and you are agreed with
Speaker 8: Oh my god, it was all of the above.
Speaker 2: Thank you Peter, I disagree entirely.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna read the five star review.
Speaker 1: I agree with with MJ Bnate who said, my god,
Speaker 1: I'm reading this perfect good.
Speaker 3: My God.
Speaker 1: As a grown man who's seen plenty of scary films,
Speaker 1: I didn't think a movie could affect me like the
Speaker 1: Ghosts of Busley Hall. Yes, I expected to be scared,
Speaker 1: but I was not expecting to question my own sanity.
Speaker 1: From the moment the Civil War soldiers come down off
Speaker 1: the paintings to put a stop to the unthinkable concept
Speaker 1: of girls being admitted to their beloved Bucksley Hall School
Speaker 1: for Boys, the psychological siege on the viewer does not
Speaker 1: let up. But the moment you fully comprehend that you
Speaker 1: are watching a true masterpiece of horror is the scene
Speaker 1: where the hapless janitor witnesses a floating hair dryer. It's
Speaker 1: a scene that stays with you for weeks. No matter
Speaker 1: how big a horror fan you are, think twice about
Speaker 1: watching the Ghosts of Buxley Hall, and please do not
Speaker 1: watch it alone. If you're under thirty years.
Speaker 3: Old, do not watch it at all. You are not
Speaker 3: ready for this. Five stars. I don't think there was
Speaker 3: any hygh ferdu there by the way. I think that
Speaker 3: was a true review.
Speaker 8: All the pay through be fair to believe that was
Speaker 8: a bunch of bolt.
Speaker 3: MJ.
Speaker 4: Get off the commenting boards with your bs and your lies.
Speaker 2: You are a liar like Ann.
Speaker 1: I would put this MJ up with Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson,
Speaker 1: Montell Jordan, and now now MJ. Bnate for knowing what's
Speaker 1: up with film? Let's do our feature this week. Sabrina's
Speaker 1: favorite part of the podcast is our feature. Now with
Speaker 1: the Ghosts of Buxley Hall, we get the closest to
Speaker 1: modern warfare than really any other dcom will get us.
Speaker 1: So for this week, we'll be given the name of
Speaker 1: a war or historical battle, and we have to decide
Speaker 1: if this is the name of an actual conflict that
Speaker 1: happened or something completely made up. So again these names
Speaker 1: are real wars or completely fake. Get three out of
Speaker 1: five and win.
Speaker 2: Now we're going on to history.
Speaker 3: I love history. I do. I'm a big history fan.
Speaker 3: So here we go. Number one.
Speaker 1: Remember is this a real war or a fake war?
Speaker 1: The War of Jenkins's Ear? Sabrina, I think that's real.
Speaker 1: Actually it is real. This was actually a war that
Speaker 1: was based on I believe a Spanish soldier ended up
Speaker 1: cutting the ear off of a captain named Captain Jenkins,
Speaker 1: which started the War of In's Ear.
Speaker 5: Producer Jensen, You are right, but it's not a confirmed story.
Speaker 5: Oh really, yeah, it's like kind of a rumor. But
Speaker 5: it went on from seventeen thirty nine to seventeen forty
Speaker 5: eight between Great Britain and Spain.
Speaker 1: It was Britain in Spain, Okay, gotcha. Number two, the
Speaker 1: Battle for Captain Eckersley.
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think this is fake.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that's fake. I'm gonna say it's fake. Wait, wait, no,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it's fake.
Speaker 5: It's fake. It's a reference to relief pitcher Dennis Secresy.
Speaker 1: It is okay, Dennis Secresy was great.
Speaker 3: I know this next one the Quasi War, the Quasi
Speaker 3: war or the quasi War.
Speaker 2: Let's go it true.
Speaker 3: It is true?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's true. It's seventeen ninety eight to eighteen hundred
Speaker 5: between the US and France. And I can't believe they
Speaker 5: had it right in front of them, the Quasi Wardo.
Speaker 5: I can't believe it was right there. I can't believe
Speaker 5: it was right there right there?
Speaker 3: How does no one hit that pitch exactly?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 3: So we're three for three? We just won.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean yeah, but let's see if you go
Speaker 5: five first time?
Speaker 3: Okay, all right? Just one Sabrina. The number four the
Speaker 3: Pork and Beans War.
Speaker 2: I bet you that's a real one.
Speaker 3: It is real if memory serves. I think we learned
Speaker 3: about this in history. Isn't the Pork and Beans War
Speaker 3: a real war?
Speaker 5: It is? And it's also called the Aroostook War eighteen
Speaker 5: thirty eight to eighteen thirty nine US versus New Brunswick.
Speaker 3: Okay? And number five the pastry War.
Speaker 2: That's a TV show, is it? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: I think so.
Speaker 1: It's called Kitchen Nightmares. I'm gonna I've never heard of
Speaker 1: this one. It could be real, but I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: fake just because we've only had one fake one so far.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's fake.
Speaker 5: Two it's real. So we do not have a five
Speaker 5: out of five, damn it between Mexico and France in
Speaker 5: eighteen thirty eight. Damn four for.
Speaker 1: Five, And we're getting educated as we go. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much, Producer Jensen. Could we do some Sabrina sease?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: Because I'm not over it.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna bring back I was calling it a trumpet
Speaker 4: and finding out that, which I can't believe because one
Speaker 4: of my favorite songs is the bugle Boy song.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so I've just that was funny.
Speaker 4: But I wanted to just make a note to let
Speaker 4: you know that the chances of either of my children
Speaker 4: ever being able to even try to learn an instrument
Speaker 4: of such sort will now never happen.
Speaker 3: I'm sending two bugles to your house immediately.
Speaker 4: I cannot live in a house with that going on
Speaker 4: terribly all day.
Speaker 2: So horrible.
Speaker 1: So if one of your kids comes to you and says, mom,
Speaker 1: I'm taking up the bugle, It's all I've ever wanted.
Speaker 2: To do, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4: Okay, So of course you know I talked about the
Speaker 4: hairdryer with the girls, all that stuff. Everything we've all
Speaker 4: we've covered up until the part where I can't believe
Speaker 4: you didn't see it because it was so obvious. During
Speaker 4: the time where we find out that the count and
Speaker 4: Countess don't have money and it's around that champagne bottle
Speaker 4: that needs to be opened.
Speaker 2: Did you see that they screwed up with their scene plays.
Speaker 3: As far as uh oh, the continuity.
Speaker 4: The continuity takes it over to the coffee table. He
Speaker 4: has it, and then all of a sudden he doesn't,
Speaker 4: and she refers to the chauffeur to open it up.
Speaker 2: It like just disappears, like he takes it over, he.
Speaker 4: Has it in his hands, he's talking, and then all
Speaker 4: of a sudden, it's gone and it's in with the didn't. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it was because they also talk about it.
Speaker 2: They're talking about the champagne, then he has it.
Speaker 4: Then they're revealing that they don't have money, and then
Speaker 4: she tells the chauffeur, I went, I rewound, it went
Speaker 4: wait no, but he had it in his hands and
Speaker 4: he never walked back over there. So continuity issue was
Speaker 4: kind of awesome. Everything was kind of hilarious.
Speaker 2: I did love the.
Speaker 4: One line, I'm going to punch you out. So that's
Speaker 4: a line that I think I want to bring back
Speaker 4: to punch you out.
Speaker 2: That was kind of funny.
Speaker 4: One of the I referred to it earlier, the random
Speaker 4: It was very much like Mozzarella. Right before she goes
Speaker 4: down the ziplone, she goes.
Speaker 2: Pocahonda, pokas why why what? Why? What does that even mean?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: Last thing because it was so funny. Was the pie
Speaker 4: in the face scene. Yes, this woman you can tell
Speaker 4: is clearly done up. She has lashes, not only on
Speaker 4: the top lids, she's got them down below. Is a
Speaker 4: very good looking woman.
Speaker 3: Yes, she.
Speaker 2: Is just done all the time. You can tell that's
Speaker 2: just her thing. She gets this.
Speaker 4: Pie in her face, Okay, obviously she freaks out, like
Speaker 4: you said, she thought she got shot. But then they
Speaker 4: go to again, then we cut to some other storyline.
Speaker 4: Go back to the storyline. When they're on the phone,
Speaker 4: she still has it as if it.
Speaker 2: Was just placed on her face making a call.
Speaker 4: This woman is way she is way, way not that person.
Speaker 4: She is far too vain to have a pie just
Speaker 4: sitting on her face. I was like, wait a minute, wait,
Speaker 4: Although I think it's funny, obviously, pie in the face,
Speaker 4: who doesn't love that, of course, But it was kind
Speaker 4: of a character flof issue, like choice for me for
Speaker 4: her because she would have been right away, I mean,
Speaker 4: getting that pie off.
Speaker 2: So that was my last funny thing.
Speaker 3: I like that quite a bit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually googled her because she was stunning to me,
Speaker 1: and she was like a forties throwback movie star.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Really, what'd you find I think, I forget, I forget
Speaker 1: what I found out.
Speaker 3: Just it's like just the stuff she'd been in.
Speaker 1: She'd done so many great things and was you know,
Speaker 1: stunning when she was younger.
Speaker 3: But she was absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 2: She was just the like I loved those women in
Speaker 2: the movie.
Speaker 4: He's just like a classy eyelash, top eyelashes, down low makeup.
Speaker 2: Was beautiful.
Speaker 1: Oh, such class And now we of course have to
Speaker 1: come to rating our film when I know you're already
Speaker 1: giving this a ten, so I will just do it. No,

Speaker 1: great name for a ska band. So yeah, I think
Speaker 1: you went first last time, so I think I have
Speaker 1: to go first this time.
Speaker 3: Here we go. I loved this movie. I loved everything
Speaker 3: about No.
Speaker 1: Okay, this movie was the nostalgia of course, brought me
Speaker 1: right back to eighties movies. This is not a good
Speaker 1: it's the rules don't make any sense. The storyline are
Speaker 1: all over the place. The acting's kind of weird. It's
Speaker 1: very Scooby Doo. This movie just didn't know what it was. However,
Speaker 1: it was fun romp for the ninety two minutes we had.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give this a solid four point five back.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's great, you were gonna go more and I
Speaker 2: just gotta.
Speaker 1: I've got to give this movie what this movie is,
Speaker 1: especially since we've been watching like Zombies and all these
Speaker 1: bangers lately that have just been so good. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to give movies like this the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 1: But a lot of this movie just made no sense.
Speaker 1: It was all over the place.
Speaker 3: So four and a half bad bugles from me.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, I am gonna go with four.
Speaker 4: And I at first wanted it to be a better movie.
Speaker 2: I was ready for the nostalgia of that.
Speaker 4: Like I said, it took me back to the times
Speaker 4: where I got to spend the night at my grandparents' house.
Speaker 4: These are the kind of movies they loved to watch.
Speaker 4: They liked to watch them with me. I liked the
Speaker 4: over the top acting back then, so I was really
Speaker 4: ready to love it. But because it was so confusing
Speaker 4: and so choppy, yeah.
Speaker 2: That I had to take breaks to go back to it.
Speaker 2: I got bored during a lot.
Speaker 4: Of the things.
Speaker 2: It just was tough to get through.
Speaker 3: It was a slog.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really was just a slow, slow pace. Nothing
Speaker 2: really came out of it at the end. There was real,
Speaker 2: no big win, you know. Yeah they got this. I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 4: It just really I didn't care that much, you know,
Speaker 4: And that was hard for me.
Speaker 2: I have loved so many of these movies.
Speaker 4: There's very few of them that I haven't liked, even
Speaker 4: the funny parts of certain things. But yeah, and I
Speaker 4: just still can't it's still days after I've watched it
Speaker 4: that I can't get that sound of my four Yeah,
Speaker 4: my four bad bugles are just staying with me.
Speaker 2: So four Bad Bugles is my rating this week.
Speaker 3: Well, there you are, buddy. That is the Ghosts of
Speaker 3: Bucksley Hall. See it with a friend if you don't
Speaker 3: want to be friends with them anymore. Our next movie
Speaker 3: is the Even Stevens movie A.

Speaker 1: just be joined by somebody that I have quite the
Speaker 1: history with and we will leave it at that and
Speaker 1: in the.
Speaker 2: Meantime love as well.
Speaker 1: I will see who knows in the meantime. This week
Speaker 1: on our dedicated magical rewind Feed, our Park Hooper episode
Speaker 1: is going back to Zombies, talk about a banger of
Speaker 1: a film.
Speaker 3: We couldn't just leave it there. We had to dig deeper.
Speaker 1: So this week we're talking to our favorite character, cheerleader
Speaker 1: Trevor Towrjman aka Bucky Buchanan fucking and we tried our
Speaker 1: hardest not to just keep saying you're the best, over
Speaker 1: and over.
Speaker 3: Let's hear a little snippet from that attempt.
Speaker 6: The audition, it just said untitled Zombies Musical, and I
Speaker 6: was like, what is this? And then you guys know
Speaker 6: how much of a trip Bucky is, right, So reading
Speaker 6: Bucky's lines, I'm like, what is he even saying? I
Speaker 6: was digesting the lines. I was like cajun or shaking bake.
Speaker 6: I was like I just need to make a joke
Speaker 6: out of this, you know what I mean. And I
Speaker 6: remember I was wearing my bathing suit and my now
Speaker 6: wife was taping with me. She's like, are you gonna
Speaker 6: change out of your bathing suit? I was like, no,
Speaker 6: run it, let's do it. You can and just did
