Speaker 1: Hi, Sabrina. Hey will Okay, quick question. What's the app
Speaker 1: on your phone you use the most.
Speaker 2: Oh, You're gonna look so horribly down on me, but
Speaker 2: it's definitely my Instagram, Is it really?
Speaker 1: Oh wow?
Speaker 2: Because other than that, I mean I'm on like a
Speaker 2: Tetris kick. Other than that, I'm not really on.
Speaker 3: My phone that much.
Speaker 2: Or of course my it's like my camera whatever game
Speaker 2: I'm on.
Speaker 3: Actually, you know what, hold on, I don't feel like I.
Speaker 2: Use my phone that much. I do go on Instagram.
Speaker 2: I probably at this point right now am using my
Speaker 2: audio books app more than my Instagram.
Speaker 3: On that.
Speaker 2: I love throwing on my audiobook and like or like
Speaker 2: I heart and like listening to like a podcast.
Speaker 1: But I'm not familiar them.
Speaker 3: No, you're not familiar with that.
Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with my heart never heard it.
Speaker 2: But other than that, like unless I'm working or whatever,
Speaker 2: I think that's kind of the only apps I use. Okay,
Speaker 2: but I've got a bunch of them, which is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I've got fifty two apps too, like a thousand.
Speaker 3: Don't use any of them? What about you? Since you're
Speaker 3: not on a Xagram.
Speaker 1: Apps that I use eight to ten hours every single day.
Speaker 1: And it's my clock app because I use it as
Speaker 1: my clock. Oh okay, I sleep with my phone next
Speaker 1: to me, with my with my clock app.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, yeah, I have never seen Oh why.
Speaker 1: When you can make it lighter darker? So when I travel,
Speaker 1: I always have the same I have the same clock
Speaker 1: and alarm everywhere I go at my house, travel, whatever
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I use my phone for my clock too, for
Speaker 2: like my my wake up call.
Speaker 3: There you go, clock app, There you go, there you go.
Speaker 3: Your Well, it's true that.
Speaker 1: Brings us perfectly to today's wonderful film. But first, welcome
Speaker 1: back to Magical Rewind, the show that makes you want
Speaker 1: to grab your friends, your pj's and your popcorn and
Speaker 1: go back to a time when all the houses were smart,
Speaker 1: the waves, tsunamis and the high school's musical I'm Wilfordell.
Speaker 3: And I'm Sabrina Brian.
Speaker 1: Well. Nothing says Disney Channel like manipulating men with your smartphone.
Speaker 1: So this week we're diving into the twenty fourteen sci
Speaker 1: fi comedy Zapped, starring one of Hollywood's biggest modern day names,
Speaker 1: and it's just one name of that, Zindaiya Sabrina Are
Speaker 1: you Zindia fan?
Speaker 2: Oh you know it? The last time we covered one
Speaker 2: of her movies.
Speaker 3: I I'm a huge like I love her.
Speaker 2: I've I just I have always from the first time
Speaker 2: I watched her, just have thought this girl is a star.
Speaker 3: I mean, she she is. She's just unreal.
Speaker 2: And then this one, unlike the other one, we got
Speaker 2: like a small hint of her dancing nobility. This movie
Speaker 2: you got to see how magnificent she is as.
Speaker 1: A dancing Yeah, in a stupid, pointless scene that meant
Speaker 1: nothing to anything.
Speaker 3: To anyone to and including me.
Speaker 2: But I don't care, Like I would watch that section
Speaker 2: over and over again, Okay, I would.
Speaker 3: I think she's so great.
Speaker 2: It made me actually go on YouTube start downloading all
Speaker 2: of her Dancing with the Stars clips.
Speaker 3: And Dancing with the Stars, Oh yeah, she murdered it,
Speaker 3: And I don't I think she was. I think Lisa's no.
Speaker 2: Okay, I was gonna say, I think it was a
Speaker 2: classic unfortunate thing that tends to happen on Dancing with
Speaker 2: the Stars is the best dancer doesn't win.
Speaker 1: Right where they gave it to somebody who dances on
Speaker 1: TikTok and then claims she's not professional. I get it started.
Speaker 1: Don't get me started, don't get me started. All the
Speaker 1: all the bets are off when it's about my best friend, like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, so don't get me don't I get it?
Speaker 3: I get I get it.
Speaker 1: I agree she's a star. But we will get into
Speaker 1: that in a little bit. Zapped itself debut on June
Speaker 1: twenty seven to twenty fourteen, and since we noted the
Speaker 1: first decom appearance of a cell phone back in the day,
Speaker 1: we got to now announce it's our first app the
Speaker 1: listen and obey app yeis. The movie was filmed in
Speaker 1: the dcom capital of the North Kanada and is based
Speaker 1: on a book called Boys Are Dogs Isn't That Wonderful,
Speaker 1: which might just be the most on the nose awful
Speaker 1: title in the history of titles. It was written by
Speaker 1: Ya author and obvious man hater Leslie Mark Golis, and
Speaker 1: it's part of a series called Annabelle Unleashed, which makes
Speaker 1: sense because the original title of this movie was Unleashed.
Speaker 1: Each book in the series apparently has to do with animals,
Speaker 1: so check out some of the titles. Boys or Dogs,
Speaker 1: Girls Acting, Caddie, Everybody bugs Out One Tough Chick and
Speaker 1: Monkey Business. Did you have any book series you read
Speaker 1: as a kid.
Speaker 2: I think I remember, you know, uh the box cart
Speaker 2: series books series?
Speaker 3: Is it?
Speaker 2: The I don't know, I don't know and goose bumps.
Speaker 2: I remember, yeah, Steint arl Stein. Yeah, I read what about.
Speaker 1: You just box Car Children, The box Car Children.
Speaker 3: Okay, there we go.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, I read fantasy stories after fans, so like the Belgariad,
Speaker 1: the Malorian series my favorite than the Choose your own
Speaker 1: Adventure books and who do you have?
Speaker 2: Somebody that got you in them? Like that steered you
Speaker 2: in that direction.
Speaker 1: Yeah. My third grade teacher with the she she had
Speaker 1: us read The Indian in the Cupboard by Lynn read Banks,
Speaker 1: which is one of the greatest books ever, and that
Speaker 1: got me kind of into the fantasy world after that. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: then it was just.
Speaker 2: All because you're talking, what age that you jumped into
Speaker 2: this fantasy world?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: Eight?
Speaker 1: Eight? Yeah, the third grade, so yeah, eighter nine is
Speaker 1: when I started real. But but I started with the
Speaker 1: choose your own adventure books. Then you go to the
Speaker 1: Peers Anthony books, which as a kid you think are great,
Speaker 1: the Zant books, and you read as an adult and they're
Speaker 1: just like horrifyingly awful. And then I found the Belk
Speaker 1: series when I was probably about twelve, and that just
Speaker 1: changed my whole life. That was just when I started
Speaker 1: reading about Bell Grath and Paul Gara and Gary and
Speaker 1: it was like, Oh my god, the world just opened
Speaker 1: up to me. It was the coolest thing in the world.
Speaker 3: There was a.
Speaker 2: Book that was that's mentioned in this movie that caught
Speaker 2: me off guard a little bit, just because I know
Speaker 2: in this movie that we just know.
Speaker 1: Which to kill a mocking Oh yeah, which, of course
Speaker 1: every every young girl's favorite book, To Kill a Mockingbird.
Speaker 1: Zapp was also Oh We'll get there. Zapps was also
Speaker 1: a broadcast success, bringing in five point seven million viewers
Speaker 1: for its debut, making it the most watched broadcast on
Speaker 1: cable that night. Okay, did you watch it? Did you
Speaker 1: know about this? Twenty fourteen? You missed all this too?
Speaker 3: I was not at all.
Speaker 1: I knew nothing of this obviously either, and I'm glad
Speaker 1: I didn't. Zapp is available right now to watch on
Speaker 1: Disney Plus, which can either guide you through our recap
Speaker 1: or our recap can guide you through your viewing. Either way,
Speaker 1: a guide will be hired, so please do a background
Speaker 1: check and keep it professional. Well, get the JV squad
Speaker 1: ready to perform. Here's our synopsis. High schooler Zoe discovers
Speaker 1: a magical app that lets her control boys like dogs.
Speaker 1: At first, it makes her life easier, but soon chaos
Speaker 1: erupts when she learns that controlling people isn't the same
Speaker 1: as connecting with them. Early thoughts, Sabrina, what did you
Speaker 1: think of this movie?
Speaker 3: This movie was rough for me.
Speaker 2: It was it felt like one hundred thousand minutes long,
Speaker 2: and at the beginning, I just kept like the I know,
Speaker 2: we get really like extreme rooms and things like that,
Speaker 2: but the bedroom for her, the bathroom, like there was
Speaker 2: just so many things that I was like, this is
Speaker 2: really like over the top two big. Disney does big,
Speaker 2: but like's they're always they're usually hone it into just
Speaker 2: that perfect level, and just even from the the house
Speaker 2: in general, even that I just I don't know, I
Speaker 2: things were throwing me off from the very beginning of
Speaker 2: this movie, and sometimes, you know, we both talk about it.
Speaker 2: We got to like maybe we're in a weird headspace
Speaker 2: and we're not like going, Okay, no, this is a
Speaker 2: Disney movie. We're gonna kind of like and then once
Speaker 2: we get in the zone it gets better. That never
Speaker 2: happened for me, and I was very frustrated because again
Speaker 2: I love Zendia and everything that she's in I feel
Speaker 2: like is gold and I was like looking for the gold.
Speaker 1: I was right, I'm on a gold hunt, on a.
Speaker 3: Gold hunt, and I can't find it. Sydiya, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: I had like anxiety from it. It's just you know, yeah, it.
Speaker 2: Was not my not my jam. This movie was not
Speaker 2: my jam. It was yours, though, Wasn't it my favorite
Speaker 2: so far?
Speaker 1: I loved this I hated this movie. This is I
Speaker 1: think possibly, and I don't mean possibly. No, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say it. This is the worst movie we've watched so far,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, totally my opinion. I could think of
Speaker 1: nothing I hated more than I hated this movie. And
Speaker 1: I agree with you one hundred percent. She is a star.
Speaker 1: None of the acting was bad. It wasn't like the
Speaker 1: acting was bad, it was just so. She was fine.
Speaker 1: I get she's a star. The story, the script, there
Speaker 1: was nothing about this movie that I liked. It was
Speaker 1: a really bad movie. In my opinion.
Speaker 2: I found a pink blazer that I really loved.
Speaker 1: Okay, war, Okay, there you go.
Speaker 3: Well then, and I did like the dancing, Like I said,
Speaker 3: I thought.
Speaker 1: That anything her troop and.
Speaker 3: What she did. You know, I was excited for this,
Speaker 3: like battle. I love a dance battle and.
Speaker 1: You kidding my dance battle King is I know?
Speaker 3: And it just kind of fell flat because it really
Speaker 3: just didn't matter at that point. It did.
Speaker 2: Nothing mattered. I don't understand it, but I am excited. Eventually,
Speaker 2: it's towards the end to talk about one of the
Speaker 2: most awkwards I think we have seen yet on the Channel.
Speaker 1: I can't wait. I can't wait, Chef's Kiss, I can't
Speaker 1: wait well. As mentioned earlier, the movie stars Zendaya, who
Speaker 1: began her career on the Channel as Rocky on a
Speaker 1: show called Shake It Up, then as the star of
Speaker 1: Casey Undercover. She also appeared on episodes of Good Luck,
Speaker 1: Charlie and Aunt Farm and was put on the musical
Speaker 1: Fast Track as well releasing pop music through Disney Records.
Speaker 1: And this was actually her second t com. She first
Speaker 1: starred in Front of Me as alongside Bella Thorne, a
Speaker 1: film we've already recapped, so go check out our archives
Speaker 1: for that Zinda would eventually grow up and become one
Speaker 1: of the most sought after talents in Hollywood, and rightfully so.
Speaker 1: She is in the Spider Man movies, The Greatest Showman,
Speaker 1: the Dune franchisees Challengers, and the HBO show Euphoria, which
Speaker 1: makes me jump to my knees and Thank God I
Speaker 1: didn't have children, which won her the Golden Globe and
Speaker 1: the Emmy. I watched one episode of that and I
Speaker 1: was like, if kids are like this, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I don't want have anything to do with anybody. Yeah,
Speaker 1: oh god, the drugs and say ah. Anyway. She's also
Speaker 1: set to voice a new character in the upcoming Shrek
Speaker 1: movie and to star in the movie I Cannot Wait For,
Speaker 1: Cannot Wait For, Cannot Wait four, based on my favorite
Speaker 1: book of all time, Christopher Noland's next movie, The Odyssey.
Speaker 1: Oh just the little things I'm hearing about it. I'm
Speaker 1: salivating already. And we've got Spencer Boldman as cool guy
Speaker 1: Jackson Kale. He was a Disney star as well. He
Speaker 1: played Adam Davenport on the show Labrats and guest starred
Speaker 1: on I Carly Jesse and Mighty Med. In twenty twenty two,
Speaker 1: he was in four episodes of Welcome to Chippendale's, but
Speaker 1: not a ton of acting as of late. Then you've
Speaker 1: got Chanelle harkwayl if sick. I hope I'm saying that
Speaker 1: right plays Rachel. We've seen her before in one of
Speaker 1: our old favorite T coms, Radio Rebel, and more recently
Speaker 1: she appeared on the TV shows Sacred Lies, Supernatural, Happy Face,
Speaker 1: and a Million Little Things. Amelia McCarthy plays Taylor, and
Speaker 1: she's another magical rewind fae from her time in the
Speaker 1: Zombies movies. God, these just made me long for a
Speaker 1: Zombies movie. You may recognize her as Lacey, one of
Speaker 1: the human cheerleaders alongside Addison. And most importantly, this movie
Speaker 1: runs Sorry I'm taking a pause, my anger subside a
Speaker 1: hundred and two minutes, an absolutely disgusting number twelve over
Speaker 1: the bulls Eye of ninety and just the wrong foot
Speaker 1: to start on. If you ask you, my disappointment is immeasurable,
Speaker 1: and my day is ruined, Actually several days are ruined
Speaker 1: because I couldn't get through this movie in one sitting
Speaker 1: and stopping and starting and stopping and starting, and.
Speaker 2: Then having to rewind because you're like, wait, what I
Speaker 2: think I've I think I missed it, I went too
Speaker 2: far because I'm lost.
Speaker 1: Yes, and we don't like to blame anybody for that
Speaker 1: on this show. But if you're looking to blame somebody,
Speaker 1: it's director and actor Peter Delouiz. He's best known as
Speaker 1: Officer Doug Penhall awesome alongside Johnny Depp in the eighty
Speaker 1: show twenty one Jump Street, one of my favorite shows
Speaker 1: of all time, and he was great on that show.
Speaker 1: He also started in Squest twenty thirty two and Stargate
Speaker 1: SG one, but he's also a very established director with
Speaker 1: quite a career. Deluiz started with some episodes of twenty
Speaker 1: one Jump Street and then continued to shows like Kyle
Speaker 1: x Y Andromeda, VIP and Silk Stockings. But now he
Speaker 1: is heavy in the Hallmark Game Lucky, directing movies like
Speaker 1: Love Under the Olive, Treenica on Rye and A Brush
Speaker 1: with Love. On the writing side of things, author and
Speaker 1: again man hater Leslie Margalisee got her credit for writing
Speaker 1: the book the script is based on. Then we have
Speaker 1: the Eddie brothers, Billy and Matt. We've mentioned them before
Speaker 1: as the writers of teen Beach two, and this was
Speaker 1: their first movie. They go on to write a few
Speaker 1: other d cooms, Bad hair Day and Invisible Sister, which
Speaker 1: ironically we haven't seen the transition of their career, then
Speaker 1: took them to the Monster High Movies, and they also
Speaker 1: wrote on a Disney Junior show Eureka. By the way,
Speaker 1: I didn't get a laugh for that, and I think
Speaker 1: the irony of us having not seen Invisible Sister was
Speaker 1: pretty great. There Sabrina, But whatever, I'll try harder.
Speaker 3: I I got caught. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I got caught on Bad hair Day because I think
Speaker 2: we saw we did do Bad hair Day at this point.
Speaker 1: Bad hair Day is the one with the so the
Speaker 1: one whole day. Yeah we did that one.
Speaker 2: Yeaheah, the wig and yes, okay, yes, we want to
Speaker 2: make sure that's what's I got the cop.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got interviewed the woman.
Speaker 1: Who played police officer.
Speaker 3: Yea, I know I missed your your good one joke.
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry, my.
Speaker 1: Good wall Oh that was such a backwards like what
Speaker 1: you'd say, Oh my god, she's a sweet spirit.
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Well, I did not mean it that way. I got
Speaker 2: stuck on the Bad hair Day and missed your joke.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm gonna have you know it's you know
Speaker 1: you're funny when you have to point out every one
Speaker 1: of your jokes. And now everybody sit, bag, bark, shake, rollover,
Speaker 1: good boy, it's time to break down. Zapped Exactly, we
Speaker 1: opened up a fancy wedding and app alerts young Zoe
Speaker 1: Stevens that it's time for the toast. Also, what the
Speaker 1: hell app is that? Talk about? Specific Also, there's an
Speaker 1: awful lot of z's in this movie. Zapped with Sundeia
Speaker 1: as Zoey Zoe Yeah. She announces that she's not only
Speaker 1: the daughter of the bride, she's the maid of honor.
Speaker 1: She's thrilled about her mom's new husband, Ted, but emphasizes
Speaker 1: that her and her mom had been alone together for
Speaker 1: quite some time, and now she'll have a whole new
Speaker 1: family to live with, not only just Ted, but his
Speaker 1: son's Adam, Zach and Ben. They're all messy, smelly bros.
Speaker 1: And the idea of living with four guys because the
Speaker 1: dog two is Humphrey is also a male, is weighing
Speaker 1: heavily on her mind. She must accept that her life
Speaker 1: is completely changing, but it's not going to be easy.
Speaker 1: As she raises her glass, the boys trigger a chain
Speaker 1: of events that sends Humphrey running unto the table and
Speaker 1: a fondu bowl full of chocolate. It doubses Zoe head
Speaker 1: to toe and now she looks like carry on prom night.
Speaker 1: Zoe takes a deep breath and angrily finishes the toes
Speaker 1: to her new family and remind you don't just keep
Speaker 1: in your head about her being covered with stuff, because
Speaker 1: it happens over and over and over. Yeah, we jumped
Speaker 1: to a week later. Zoe's asleep in her room at
Speaker 1: six forty five, and yes, since it's the main character's bedroom,
Speaker 1: forced to learn a little about her in the form
Speaker 1: of posters highlighting dance and music. This was obviously your
Speaker 1: favorite bedroom we've ever seen, am I right? Little for you?
Speaker 2: It just didn't make sense to me. She's just moving
Speaker 2: into this house and she's got it's just so decorated.
Speaker 3: To me, it was like, you don't know why that
Speaker 3: bothered me.
Speaker 2: That's why I had to be like, Okay, check yourself,
Speaker 2: where are you mentally?
Speaker 3: Why is this irritating you? Like?
Speaker 2: I don't know why, but honestly, I literally, I mean
Speaker 2: we're two minutes in I thought she was so cute.
Speaker 2: I thought I loved her toast. I thought I was like, gosh,
Speaker 2: she's such a cute actress.
Speaker 3: She looks gorgeous. YEP, I get to the room and bam,
Speaker 3: I'm irritated. I'm like, what's going on?
Speaker 1: Like, okay, I guess the irritation isn't gonna stop. So
Speaker 1: then we are startled by a bullhorn. It's Ted now,
Speaker 1: screaming like a drill sergeant telling the boys to get
Speaker 1: up for the bus. The kids fumble all over each
Speaker 1: other as Zoe walks out of her room confused. Ted
Speaker 1: tries his hardest to adjust for the new female in
Speaker 1: the house, but it's just not working. Now. In her bathroom,
Speaker 1: Zoe is working with a beauty planner app because why not,
Speaker 1: to get ready for school, and she's interrupted by her
Speaker 1: youngest stepbrother who tries to share a sink and fidgets
Speaker 1: with her makeup cover in the room and powder. She's
Speaker 1: also disgusted by the pea around the toilet bowl. The
Speaker 1: reality of her new testosterone filled family and their frat
Speaker 1: house style is just not working. With each man set
Speaker 1: very much in their ways, it's starting to sink in
Speaker 1: for her. Life's going to be very different. The brothers
Speaker 1: even take to the kitchen to make disgusting protein pancakes,
Speaker 1: stealing her cottage cheese and acting all around like animals,
Speaker 1: like no human kids ever do in the history of
Speaker 1: the world. Three brothers that are making Hey, it's right
Speaker 1: before school, let's cook pancake never happens. Zoe looks to
Speaker 1: her mom for help, but her mom can't do anything
Speaker 1: about it because she's barely there in this movie in
Speaker 1: an absolutely useless character. They just do things differently here.
Speaker 1: Her mom tries to calm the situation by presenting her
Speaker 1: with her childhood music box, a gift from her deceased
Speaker 1: dad shaped like a castle. Also, tomorrow marks her first
Speaker 1: day of high school and dance tryouts. Back in the kitchen,
Speaker 1: the brows are still brown out, leading to an eruption
Speaker 1: when the middle sun starts the blender before putting the
Speaker 1: lid on once again, drenching Zoe head to toe. We
Speaker 1: are five minutes into this film. She's been covered with twice.
Speaker 1: It's now the next day at school and Zoe is
Speaker 1: taking everything in. A skater almost crashes into her jocks,
Speaker 1: are lifting weights in the parking lot, nerds are playing
Speaker 1: video games and there's a group of smelly guys who
Speaker 1: are just smelly. None of this makes any sense the
Speaker 1: skating Okay, totally understand that. Yeah, but did you often
Speaker 1: find guys with their shirts off in the parking lot
Speaker 1: or the quad just lifting weights on full benches?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: And we've got to pause on that because I'm like,
Speaker 2: practices and standards and practices, that's like big thing.
Speaker 3: I've talked about it a lot.
Speaker 2: I had to wear leggings under every single skirt that
Speaker 2: I ever wore on the channel.
Speaker 3: Why can these guys be half naked?
Speaker 1: Yeah, lots of man nipples.
Speaker 2: Understand, And they come twice like they actually talk about
Speaker 2: it later on and You're just like, this is weird
Speaker 2: to me. It was uncomfortable? Am I weird to think
Speaker 2: that on the channel? It's uncomfortable to have like teenage
Speaker 2: guys without shirts on and they're like lifting weight Like
Speaker 2: that was just like a weird.
Speaker 3: Thing to be on the channel in general.
Speaker 2: But every group that she's encountering our boys too, which
Speaker 2: I thought that was strange. I mean, I get it,
Speaker 2: this is we know what the right is, but like
Speaker 2: that was weird that there were no girls at all
Speaker 2: in this And then yes, like when we walked past
Speaker 2: the football team's locker room right, like there, that's where
Speaker 2: they are after practice and their doors are open, it
Speaker 2: stinks like it's gross.
Speaker 1: Just sure.
Speaker 2: Locker room, right, And yeah, I'm sure there are smelly
Speaker 2: boys in school, but not like this, like this is
Speaker 2: just a group of kids.
Speaker 1: You don't care about their school? Are you going to?
Speaker 2: I don't know, but this is one another thing that
Speaker 2: I'm like. This was the second thing of so extra.
Speaker 2: These things were so over the top that was weird
Speaker 2: for me because again, yes, we're expecting that of the channel,
Speaker 2: but the channel usually has a really good radar of
Speaker 2: what's just too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this again, this is twenty fourteen. This is
Speaker 1: not big huge Disney channel of nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 3: No, this is we are Yeah, are they veering back.
Speaker 1: Into I don't know, maybe they tried.
Speaker 2: I remember feeling we said something similar about Zindea's other dcom.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit bigger than it needed to be.
Speaker 1: Well, they obviously are seeing her and she's good at it.
Speaker 1: They're seeing her as like a very physical comedian. But
Speaker 1: it was just it was by I was like smelly groups,
Speaker 1: how is that it's not even a thing. Okay, Nerds
Speaker 1: get it, Jocks get it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, scholey guys like, what the hell is that?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah anyway, Now, she eventually stumbles on
Speaker 1: Trip this guy or the Tripster or Tripathon. He's a
Speaker 1: surfer type actually named trip and she asks him for help,
Speaker 1: but instead he just farts on her. Yes, this actually happened.
Speaker 1: I had to look around my room for hidden cameras
Speaker 1: in case I was on a frank show. He just
Speaker 1: turns around and farts on the beautiful new girl in school, right.
Speaker 3: Not even turns around, like lifts his bub and ull.
Speaker 1: Like on the gorgeous brand new girl. Who's just because
Speaker 1: first of all, there's nowhere in the world where any
Speaker 1: guy looks at Zindian is like, who's the ugly girl?
Speaker 1: Like she's stunning and just walks into the school and
Speaker 1: the first thing this guy does is fart on her,
Speaker 1: like you do so ugh. By this point, I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to get through
Speaker 1: this movie. In the Malaise of Gas, Zoe meets Rachel,
Speaker 1: a cool boy, crazy girl in a fedora who wants
Speaker 1: to be a friendly face and a helping hand. Rachel says,
Speaker 1: all the boys in school are cute but gross knuckleheads.
Speaker 1: Rachel's main target is a boy named Charlie who looks
Speaker 1: a lot like Justin Long, so let's just call him
Speaker 1: Justin Short. Eventually, Rachel leads Zoe to a classroom where
Speaker 1: she's startled by a movie about praying Mantis's Praying Manti
Speaker 1: prankmmit about a praying mantis that they're all watching. And
Speaker 1: I was thinking to myself, movies on the first day
Speaker 1: of school. Really okay? Her shriek makes her the center
Speaker 1: of attention, and lo and behold, she's in the wrong class.
Speaker 1: Algebra's on the other side of campus. Thanks so much
Speaker 1: for Dora Rachel for leading me in the wrong direction. Also,
Speaker 1: we're introduced to Jackson Kale and yes, that's what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say his name every time, who's instructed to show
Speaker 1: a where to go. He's a real rebel type and
Speaker 1: a stupid beanie in and sunglasses and a leather jacket
Speaker 1: with the sleeves rolled up. Dude, are you hot or cold?
Speaker 1: Which one are you? Because you're wearing multiple layers and
Speaker 1: you have a leather jacket on and sunglasses and class.
Speaker 1: But you're rolling up the sleeves. Are you hot or cold?
Speaker 1: Figure at the out? This movie angered me.
Speaker 3: Also why is he like thirty five years old?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 3: He was so old, so much older looking than the
Speaker 3: rest of the cast.
Speaker 1: Then everybody else, and the character was so like whoever, Okay,
Speaker 1: so I don't know what the book is like this,
Speaker 1: but whoever wrote like just didn't understand boyser men at all.
Speaker 1: Where it's like, well, you're either a smelly idiot, oh
Speaker 1: you're the cool guy who also plays chess and whiz leather.
Speaker 1: It's like there's not a normal boy in this whole movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no like guy, just guy. How is this
Speaker 3: of her new brothers?
Speaker 1: Right now? At the beginning, he's the and we'll get
Speaker 1: into this movie seriously angered me all I know, there
Speaker 1: was so yeah, I just it was I'm.
Speaker 2: Okay with pointing out things that got like the pain
Speaker 2: and the toilet that drives me crazy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the boys don't pull up.
Speaker 2: But the thing if you ever go you know, so
Speaker 2: many restaurants bathrooms are like unisex now, and if you
Speaker 2: go to a bathroom and you see that.
Speaker 3: It's just out, it's it's gross.
Speaker 2: It outrages me. I can't handle it, Like this is
Speaker 2: a everyone should be respectful on it, like like girls
Speaker 2: are gross too. Anyway, I'm fine with that kind of
Speaker 2: stuff me too, to point that out, but this is
Speaker 2: so extreme, making it seem like.
Speaker 3: Every guy has is just disgusting.
Speaker 4: The worst, and I'm like, whoa except the one guy
Speaker 4: who's a caricature of what whoever wrote this thinks every is.
Speaker 1: He's a bad boy but also a chess champion. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's like.
Speaker 3: In the park and just read the books.
Speaker 1: By himself and his jacket with a beanie all the time.
Speaker 1: It was so ridiculous, but anyway, so yeah, anyway, he
Speaker 1: looks like justin Bobby from the Hills and is actually
Speaker 1: a honky genius. On their walk, Rachel stumbles through her
Speaker 1: words and he's openly flirting with her. He eventually wanders off,
Speaker 1: and we notice a pretty and concerned blonde has been
Speaker 1: watching this interaction the entire time. And now at the
Speaker 1: Dance Squad audition, Zoe rives a bit late and joins Rachel,
Speaker 1: who traded in her fedora for a flat brim sideways
Speaker 1: baseball cap, and guess what, that blonde girl who was
Speaker 1: suspiciously watching Zoe talk to Jackson Kale. Well, she's tailor
Speaker 1: and she's the captain of the varsity team. Running the audition.
Speaker 1: With an iron fist, she announces the varsity team is full,
Speaker 1: but there may be a spot if you're perfect. Zoe
Speaker 1: tries to introduce herself, but only gets attitude in return,
Speaker 1: and even worse, when Zoe looks in her gym bag,
Speaker 1: her shoes are covered in the boy's pancake mix. Because,
Speaker 1: of course, as Zoe ties on her pancake sneakers, Taylor
Speaker 1: quickly busts out a routine to memorize.
Speaker 2: Okay, but why didn't she go to the bathroom and
Speaker 2: just like get some towels and clean them off before
Speaker 2: she puts them?
Speaker 1: Can I also ask a question, as you're a resident
Speaker 1: dance expert, couldn't she have danced barefoot?
Speaker 3: She could have. I don't feel like she would have
Speaker 3: wanted to.
Speaker 1: I understand better choice than pancake shoes.
Speaker 2: The choice would have been to go to the bathroom,
Speaker 2: grab some towels, ripe off your shoes, and then put
Speaker 2: them on like that would have been the choice.
Speaker 3: Or she had tennis shoes on already.
Speaker 2: They weren't like dance in your shoes. They weren't like
Speaker 2: hip hop tennis, right, they weren't. They weren't kicks.
Speaker 1: As the kids say. Yeah, kicks to me will always
Speaker 1: be a serial.
Speaker 3: But she could have worn those.
Speaker 2: It was very like, you know, yeah it was again,
Speaker 2: it was just like these were just odd choices throughout
Speaker 2: the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what it seemed like to me, and
Speaker 1: I'm just realizing this. It seemed I know it was
Speaker 1: a YA book, but it seemed like this was a
Speaker 1: book written for kids that were eight or nine. Then
Speaker 1: they decided to just put them in high school without
Speaker 1: changing any of the stuff that happens in the book. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like like like if this were if it was the
Speaker 1: exact same movie, but they were all in the fifth grade, right,
Speaker 1: smelly boys and missing the toilet, then all of this
Speaker 1: would make sense to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, or even yes, even if they were the age
Speaker 2: of We just watched a few of the new episodes
Speaker 2: of Wizards of Waverley Place.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Wizards Beyond Waverley Place, Like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: That they're young character in that she's like probably in
Speaker 2: like fifth or sixth grade, Like.
Speaker 1: That could have worked make them make them nine or ten.
Speaker 1: Then it seemed like that's what this book was. And
Speaker 1: they went, no, we're not going to change a thing
Speaker 1: about the book, but we're gonna make everybody fifteen. It's like, well, then.
Speaker 2: Changes Sendea in it. So they're like, we need something
Speaker 2: for Sendaia, so we're.
Speaker 3: Going to add some We're gonna add some some dance elements.
Speaker 1: Yes, it was such very.
Speaker 3: Some opportunities for her to have music. I do believe.
Speaker 2: I don't know for sure, but it did seem like
Speaker 2: she was on the sound her soundtrack, like the main.
Speaker 3: Which we're catching. Yes, there we go, there's a popline
Speaker 3: they were.
Speaker 1: Taylor quickly busts out of routine to memorize. No candidates
Speaker 1: can remember the moves except for Zoe, who not only
Speaker 1: nails it, but she adds some flavor to it. Everyone
Speaker 1: is impressed except Taylor, who now hates Zoe for two reasons,
Speaker 1: being a good dancer and talking to her ex The
Speaker 1: dance felt a little goofy to me. But what did
Speaker 1: you think, dance expert of the this first one?
Speaker 3: The first Yeah, I was kind of like, oh uh oh, oh.
Speaker 1: Don't do it. Don't do it to my girlsz Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't do it to Zeke.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that part was kind of weird, but this was
Speaker 2: the thing. When I saw what they were going to do,
Speaker 2: I went h oh. Then Zendia did it and know
Speaker 2: the choreography was not like great, but.
Speaker 1: Look, and that's.
Speaker 2: Where you tell the level of just like skills she
Speaker 2: has that she can make something like that. It's like
Speaker 2: watching Alison Stoner do some of the choreography that was
Speaker 2: that we saw in Camp Rock and they looked amazing
Speaker 2: doing it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're great. Zoe does eventually slip on pancake mix
Speaker 1: and fall onto Rachel and then causes everyone to get rejected.
Speaker 1: Zoe begs for any way to make the team, and
Speaker 1: as a result, she's added to the JV team along
Speaker 1: with Rachel, filling out a squad made up of just
Speaker 1: nerdy boys because again, boys suck. Back at the house,
Speaker 1: so he's even more disturbed by the boys. They're bathing
Speaker 1: Humphrey in the tub and they ransacked her room, even
Speaker 1: breaking her dad's castle box. She can't believe how awful
Speaker 1: her life is. She wonders if there's anything on her
Speaker 1: phone that can help, and that's when she finds Listen
Speaker 1: and Obey an app that costs nine to ninety nine
Speaker 1: and allegedly makes it so you can command your dog
Speaker 1: to do anything if you really think about it. This
Speaker 1: won't help her issues with the boys at all, but
Speaker 1: she installs it anyway. She immediately uses the app to
Speaker 1: get Humphrey to sit and then shake, and it works.
Speaker 1: She's impressed, but right then the dog reaches up and
Speaker 1: snatches the phone out of her hands, drops it into
Speaker 1: a water filled bathtub. When the youngest stepbrother tries to
Speaker 1: drive it through centrifugal force centrifugal centric, spinning it around
Speaker 1: a lot over his head. It's centrifuical, but it's just
Speaker 1: a hard word to say. He accidentally flings it out
Speaker 1: the window and onto a satellite dish, then down the
Speaker 1: solar panels, landing in a bowl of wet dog food,
Speaker 1: causing it to short and spark uncontrollably. After retrieving it,
Speaker 1: she just lays in bed depressed. Her mom suggest something
Speaker 1: she found online, putting the phone in a bowl of rice.
Speaker 1: Have you ever done this?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: I have too, but man, it just totally ruins the rice.
Speaker 1: I love rice. Zoe doesn't even really care about the
Speaker 1: phone anymore. She just can't take living with these boys.
Speaker 1: They're ruining her life. Her mom suggests joining her family
Speaker 1: on a run to the park later, but she decides
Speaker 1: to stay in bed, and the phone is still ominously
Speaker 1: sparking in the rice. The next day, she's awoken again
Speaker 1: by the blowhorn. She grabs her phone out of the
Speaker 1: rice and hey, it works. Everything's still there too. Maybe
Speaker 1: today will be a better day after all, But of
Speaker 1: course it's not because boys. The boys are just as
Speaker 1: gross as ever, hogging the bathroom and causing chaos. But
Speaker 1: she does have one thing under control, Humphrey the dog.
Speaker 1: She uses a new app to make Comfrey sit, but
Speaker 1: now he doesn't do anything, And at the same time,
Speaker 1: a mailman makes his way to the front door. As
Speaker 1: she tries again to say sit, no response for the dog,
Speaker 1: but the mailman involuntarily falls to his butt. Then she says,
Speaker 1: lie down, and yep, the mailman lies down. Shake he shakes. Also,
Speaker 1: shake is not that dog command. When you ask a
Speaker 1: dog to shake, you're not asking to shake, You're asking
Speaker 1: to give you their paw. So none of this made
Speaker 1: any sense. This will happen a lot in the movie.
Speaker 1: Have you ever told the dog to shake? And what
Speaker 1: you meant, was this?
Speaker 2: No, No, My dog Rocky used to do I would
Speaker 2: do high five and he would pop, like pop my hand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we say five, we say Sammy gives nucks, we
Speaker 1: go knocks and she raised it up and she goes,
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, yeah, shake. But that's what shakes are.
Speaker 1: When you ask a dog to shake, it means give
Speaker 1: me your paw, not shake our old dog. When you
Speaker 1: would swimming, he knew shake it out, which after you
Speaker 1: get out of pool, we go, all right, shake it out,
Speaker 1: and then he'd shake it out. But shake means give
Speaker 1: your paw. So this was another weird kind of like
Speaker 1: why she now she doesn't see anything that the mailman
Speaker 1: is doing because her back is turned to the front door.
Speaker 1: She doesn't even see when she says do a trick,
Speaker 1: which is again not a thing, and the postal care
Speaker 1: does a front flip. Then one of the brothers appears
Speaker 1: with a gross, sloppy nacho borsh twitch and she tells
Speaker 1: him to put it down, which she does obediently. Then
Speaker 1: she tells him to pick it up and he does
Speaker 1: it in a zombie like fashion. Okay, she's now not
Speaker 1: actively using the app, so does the phone just need
Speaker 1: to be near her. I am now officially confused again
Speaker 1: for now. The nineteenth reason what's.
Speaker 2: Going on that is exactly what I was gonna point out,
Speaker 2: is she's just giving these commands at this point.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know, I don't understand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the rules. What are we talking about? The rule?
Speaker 2: Because sometimes she's got her phone and she's like speaking
Speaker 2: into it and hitting a button and hitting a button
Speaker 2: to like make it happen. And then but at this point,
Speaker 2: right now in the movie, she's just saying things and
Speaker 2: the phone is just like magically making it happen. I
Speaker 2: don't know if there there's already there's like a blurred
Speaker 2: lines of these rules. They're not making sense at all.
Speaker 1: We need the rules, people, we need the rules.
Speaker 3: We need rules otherwise a follower makes sense.
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you. And now at school, she tells Rachel,
Speaker 1: who's back in a fedora, that the boys in her
Speaker 1: life are acting weird, and then on cue trip runs
Speaker 1: up and farts on her again. When has this happened
Speaker 1: in the history of the world anyway, I don't even
Speaker 1: want to say the word again. The girls are rightfully disgusted,
Speaker 1: as would any normal human be, but no one would
Speaker 1: ever do this. We see that the app is on
Speaker 1: in her pocket and she tells him to stop, and
Speaker 1: he stops. So she just accidentally kept the app on
Speaker 1: the entire time. Okay, Sindana, Yeah, okay, y see either way,
Speaker 1: Trip turns zombie and completely freezes his mouth agape. She
Speaker 1: puts two and two together and realizes she has a
Speaker 1: magic app. She says speak and Trip responds, you're you've
Speaker 1: been whipped by the Trip. She quickly instructs him to
Speaker 1: shut his mouth, and he does. They go back and
Speaker 1: forth with commands until she almost instructs him to take
Speaker 1: a poop in the hallway. This movie is so weird.
Speaker 3: Weird it is like, I don't even know it's so
Speaker 3: And by this point.
Speaker 1: I'm openly yelling at my screen by myself. My wife
Speaker 1: can hear me from across the house, going what's wrong,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, this, Bobby's the worst thing I've ever dake.
Speaker 3: I mean, but also, and this is the thing.
Speaker 2: No one else seems to notice that this stuff is happening,
Speaker 2: which also is strange to me because it's not like
Speaker 2: small things, it's like big things. We get later on
Speaker 2: to like she freezes the whole school with all the guys. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like the yoga and the this, and like it's not
Speaker 2: weird to anyone. Nope, Nope, including the adults, the very
Speaker 2: small amount of adults that we have in the movie.
Speaker 1: Nope, who are so awful too. By the way, Rachel
Speaker 1: can't believe this. What is up with Zoe's phone? It's
Speaker 1: the most amazing thing in human history. But when she
Speaker 1: tries it on the mean girl dancers, it doesn't work.
Speaker 1: So the app only works with men because girls are
Speaker 1: too caddy. That's what she was talking about. Boys or
Speaker 1: dogs and girls are caddy. Also, you have an app
Speaker 1: now in your phone that can control all boys. It
Speaker 1: seems like nobody really gives this the do that. It's
Speaker 1: you've just found huge magical powers and everyone's like, wow,
Speaker 1: you got a app on your phone that controls boys.
Speaker 1: It's like what I felt like I was taking crazy
Speaker 1: pills halfway through this.
Speaker 3: Yes, Also, like what would you honestly want to use
Speaker 3: that for? I don't know, Like, what would you what
Speaker 3: would be the purpose of doing this? Like in her world?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. We're gonna find out, I guess,
Speaker 1: and so Zoe and Rachel I will exactly I'll hit
Speaker 1: a little bell boom. Maybe I found it. I say
Speaker 1: that because I have no bells around me, because I
Speaker 1: wouldn't have to hit it anyway. And so Zoe and
Speaker 1: Rachel make their way to the quad to try it
Speaker 1: out some more. They tell skaters to stop, causing one
Speaker 1: dude to crash. The gamers are told to do something
Speaker 1: good for their well being, so they drop their mobile
Speaker 1: devices to start yoga. The gross unhygienic guys are told
Speaker 1: the fit themselves, and the jocks are told to put
Speaker 1: their shirts back on, then quickly told to take them
Speaker 1: off again because they're buff hotties. Why can you imagine
Speaker 1: if this was boys telling girls to take something off? Right?
Speaker 2: And the way that they you know, this is how
Speaker 2: it was written for them in the script, but the
Speaker 2: way they play it, it's like.
Speaker 3: Strip clubbish.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Like they're like, oh, take that off?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I don't know what?
Speaker 1: What? What network?
Speaker 3: I'm watching this movie on now? Very weird.
Speaker 1: And that's when they see Charlie Wang, the justin short
Speaker 1: kid that Rachel likes, but he's too emotionally closed off,
Speaker 1: and so Zoe instructs him to be more open about
Speaker 1: his feelings, causing him to jump up and talk to
Speaker 1: the Fedora Queen. And now even the tripmeister is told
Speaker 1: to be nice to Zoe, even saying toodles as he leaves.
Speaker 1: She now controls the male population at the school and
Speaker 1: she is loving it. Back at home, her oldest stepbrother,
Speaker 1: who is arguably the most ADHD character we've ever seen
Speaker 1: the d com she tells him to be fo focused
Speaker 1: and he reacts by focusing on a nearby lampshade to
Speaker 1: admire it, like she just dosed him with acid. Then
Speaker 1: her middle brother appears with a jelly pickle taco carmel Sunday,
Speaker 1: so he's told to go make better things. She forces
Speaker 1: her dad to bring down the volume of his voice
Speaker 1: and commands her little brother to be clean, two things
Speaker 1: that'll definitely make her life easier. Happy with herself, she
Speaker 1: decides to walk on free to the park, and on
Speaker 1: the way she talks to him about her newfound power,
Speaker 1: admitting it might not be ethical, but it's working, and
Speaker 1: then she runs into Jackson Gale and the flirting resumes.
Speaker 1: He's reading to kill a mockingbird in the park because
Speaker 1: he's a bad boy with a heart and a brain.
Speaker 1: It turns out to be Zoe's favorite book, because what
Speaker 1: fifteen year old girl's favorite book isn't To Kill a Mockingbird.
Speaker 1: The butting courtship continues back at home. Zoe's mom walks
Speaker 1: in to see the boys cleaning making locally sourced or
Speaker 1: dus and Ted talking in a reasonable tone. Also, the
Speaker 1: oldest is still staring at a lampshade, and you figure
Speaker 1: by day two of this, maybe they'd call somebody. The
Speaker 1: next morning. Their dad can't yell his normal good morning
Speaker 1: routine wish. Now unable to startle anybody, Zoe finally gets
Speaker 1: the morning calm she's been looking for. At school, the
Speaker 1: boys are still under her spell, and Charlie is all
Speaker 1: over Rachel. Even the gross boys are waxing their eyebrows
Speaker 1: and wearing vests. Any problem caused by boys have been
Speaker 1: solved thanks to the app. Taylor and the varsity dance
Speaker 1: squad are practicing hard in the gym while the pitiful
Speaker 1: JV team is starting their first practice. Zoe is nominated
Speaker 1: as captain, and she quickly realizes the team is doomed,
Speaker 1: but she has an idea. She pulls out her phone
Speaker 1: and uses the app instructing the guys to follow her lead,
Speaker 1: and just like that, she has a killer squad of
Speaker 1: almost professional dancers. When Taylor sees the new results, she's confused,
Speaker 1: how did they suddenly become not terrible? And why is
Speaker 1: Zoe talking into her phone, which, by the way, was
Speaker 1: something she didn't need to do earlier, So now she's
Speaker 1: talking into her phone?
Speaker 3: Now she is. Now we've switched.
Speaker 1: The game, change the rules, and a new rivalry has
Speaker 1: been born, and we get a dubstep dance. Had to
Speaker 1: look that up where JV pruves they're just as good
Speaker 1: as Varsity. I shouldn't have to look these things up
Speaker 1: because I don't know if you're aware of this, but
Speaker 1: I'm kind of a dance expert.
Speaker 2: Now I am very well aware of it, and I
Speaker 2: feel like dubstep you should already know.
Speaker 3: Though from.
Speaker 1: Deadpool, No, from Step Up, Step Up movies.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, it's like a style of it, which.
Speaker 1: I still didn't know what it was. By the way,
Speaker 1: if you ever need any instruction in dance or need
Speaker 1: to know anything about dance, hit me up.
Speaker 2: I'm so glad that I'm happy to walk you through
Speaker 2: already such a great relationship with you that now I'm
Speaker 2: already calling you.
Speaker 3: I have to finish my new routine, so I'm definitely
Speaker 3: gonna be calling you for.
Speaker 1: That three words shuffleball change. I should four Wards doesn't
Speaker 1: think shuffle ball is one word anyway. Zoey brings Taylor
Speaker 1: to the principal to make the argument that JV should
Speaker 1: now be the school's official dance squad at state championships.
Speaker 1: She proposes a dance off to see who's really the best,
Speaker 1: and they'll do it at the first basketball game of
Speaker 1: the year. Again, none of this makes any sense. This
Speaker 1: infuriates Taylor, especially right after the meeting with Jackson Kale
Speaker 1: where he asks Zoe to hang out. Meanwhile, the school
Speaker 1: basketball team is struggling because of all the changes Zoe
Speaker 1: is made to the male athletes, and her stepdad, Ted,
Speaker 1: who's the coach, now can't yell out his instructions anymore.
Speaker 1: Her magical powers are backfiring. She even references the issues
Speaker 1: Michael J. Fox runs into during Back to the Future
Speaker 1: and other movies were changing the pass can destroy it,
Speaker 1: and the girls, of course come up with the idea
Speaker 1: that no, the reason that that doesn't work all the
Speaker 1: time is because they're boys again. Boys suck ass. So
Speaker 1: she's visibly nervous, so that maybe she is changing the
Speaker 1: past or the future or whatever. And yet it's time
Speaker 1: for Zoe to hang out with Jackson at the nearby
Speaker 1: fifties diner where his chess club meets, because of course
Speaker 1: he's also in the chess club. She accidentally calls it
Speaker 1: a date mid conversation and melts down, running off to
Speaker 1: the bathroom to call Rachel. By the way, okay, I
Speaker 1: will say this, he looks like he's forty years old.
Speaker 1: Act like you said. The character is ridiculous. Her character
Speaker 1: is okay, but kind of But the two of them
Speaker 1: together just talking on kind of a date. Make this
Speaker 1: the movie You're on Calm with the two of them
Speaker 1: where she gets a thirty five year old man she
Speaker 1: meets in high school, whatever you want to do. But
Speaker 1: the scenes of just the two of them together, even
Speaker 1: though he just plays the quiet guy, it's like, this
Speaker 1: was okay, just them sitting and talking.
Speaker 3: Yes, every time.
Speaker 2: They were on camera together, it was like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm good, I'm.
Speaker 1: Good with this. I like chemistry. Her bumbling kind of
Speaker 1: quality of not knowing how to date is very intriguing
Speaker 1: and killing you and it's like do this, and he's
Speaker 1: kind of him being the cool guy, but you also
Speaker 1: find out there's more underneath him. Again, the character, the
Speaker 1: way they wrote it was ridiculous, but a week of
Speaker 1: his character would have been great, and together would have
Speaker 1: been awesome.
Speaker 3: Awesome, awesome.
Speaker 2: So but again, this relationship as we see kind of
Speaker 2: goes nowhere.
Speaker 3: Means kind of nothing, nothing like yes, it's like there.
Speaker 2: But you're right, if that had been the core of
Speaker 2: this movie, I would have loved it, because I did
Speaker 2: like them on camera together, like they had a great chemistry. She's,
Speaker 2: you know, this stunning girl who was like a blobbery
Speaker 2: like fool around him, so cute.
Speaker 1: And if it was something, if it again, not trying
Speaker 1: to rewrite the film, but I'm going to rewrite the film,
Speaker 1: you know, if it's something like that. Do you remember,
Speaker 1: I know exactly do you remember, Oh, what was the
Speaker 1: one where Jim a liar? Liar? Oh? Yeah, okay, So
Speaker 1: the power that comes happens to him, he can't he
Speaker 1: has to tell the truth all the time. It makes
Speaker 1: for better comedy, it makes for self deprecating stuff. It
Speaker 1: makes for a journey where you have to learn something.
Speaker 1: So if the app or something did something to her.
Speaker 1: It makes it a different movie, as opposed to she
Speaker 1: could control all the awful boys that are around her.
Speaker 1: It's like, so if she's now on this date and
Speaker 1: she can't control something because of the app where she's
Speaker 1: like something, yes, something, it's like then.
Speaker 2: Or she starts talking about herself in the third person
Speaker 2: like trip like that.
Speaker 3: Yes, that would have been curious and she would have
Speaker 3: killed that.
Speaker 1: She would have told it so well with all of that,
Speaker 1: and he likes her despite all these things. Like that
Speaker 1: would have been great because the two of them sitting
Speaker 1: across the table from each other. That was fine. I
Speaker 1: could watch that for ninety minutes, but I can't watch
Speaker 1: anything for one hundred and two. So yeah, she calls
Speaker 1: it a date. Mid conversation, melts down, runs off to
Speaker 1: the bathroom to call Rachel. They decide she can fix
Speaker 1: the situation by introducing some competition and element boys love.
Speaker 1: So she instructs two nearby chess players, including one in
Speaker 1: a turtleneck, to flirt with her, and she returns to Jackson.
Speaker 1: They try to rise her up, but Jackson didn't take
Speaker 1: the bait. However, he does walk her home and they
Speaker 1: almost share a kiss, which again and this moment of
Speaker 1: the two of them looking at each other and kind
Speaker 1: of fumbling being teenagers very cute. Inside the house, Zoe
Speaker 1: then finds her oldest stepbrother on the basketball court, now
Speaker 1: just staring at the rim. His focused thing is way
Speaker 1: out of control. She decides to ask him for advice
Speaker 1: about her date, and he explains that boys are just
Speaker 1: as worried and stressed as girls are. They have pressure
Speaker 1: in their life too, which is why he was always
Speaker 1: running around unfocused. It helps her understand not only the
Speaker 1: possible love interest, but her new family too, And I
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, two scenes in a row that aren't awful.
Speaker 1: I liked her with her brother too and him explaining
Speaker 1: about being the new sister and it's just been as
Speaker 1: tough in him. I was like, maybe this is a
Speaker 1: turning point in the movie, Like maybe I'm gonna be like, Okay, there's.
Speaker 3: An opening in the class. Yes, sunshine, yallow, it will
Speaker 3: yellow the light.
Speaker 1: And exactly as I tried to get, their trip farted
Speaker 1: on me again. Meanwhile, quiet coach Ted fixes her castle
Speaker 1: hand me down with some help from the boys. He
Speaker 1: presents it to her and she's clearly touched. Maybe she's
Speaker 1: misjudged these guys, or maybe they're only bearable because she
Speaker 1: forced them to be. And I was thinking the same thing,
Speaker 1: and She's like, this might not be the worst thing,
Speaker 1: and I was like, there's still under your spell. Of
Speaker 1: course they're great. She decides she will minimize the effects
Speaker 1: of the app tomorrow and see what happens, even though
Speaker 1: it's the day of the big basketball game dance off,
Speaker 1: which means nothing. She wakes up late for school the
Speaker 1: next morning, and now the app is turned down. The
Speaker 1: boys and students aren't returning their old ways. They're even
Speaker 1: acting stranger. Everything is unraveling quickly. Even the guys on
Speaker 1: the JV dance squad decide to quit. She doesn't accept
Speaker 1: their resignations. Instead uses the app to get them back
Speaker 1: in line, but it's just not as effective as it
Speaker 1: used to be. The guy's hearts just aren't into it.
Speaker 1: But Zoe isn't ready to accept defeat, so she uses
Speaker 1: the app again, this time to confuse the varsity mail
Speaker 1: cheerleaders or dance squad people whatever they're called dancers. It
Speaker 1: appears Zoe has let the power go to her head,
Speaker 1: and even Rachel's a little disturbed, and so is Jackson Gale,
Speaker 1: who caught the tail end of a little tirade she
Speaker 1: went on, calling the varsity squad and Tailor a pack
Speaker 1: of dogs. Now, since he's the good guy, the one
Speaker 1: in the world, apparently, he's disturbed that she's treating people
Speaker 1: the same way Taylor does. She tries to shift the blade,
Speaker 1: calling Jackson hot and cold, but he says he just
Speaker 1: doesn't know how he feels, and she decides she's gonna
Speaker 1: respond by forcing him to kiss her. And now we're
Speaker 1: getting into some legal territory here, everybody. Thankfully, he kisses
Speaker 1: her cheek on that she aimed, which was cute, but
Speaker 1: it was still like, what the hell. He apologizes and
Speaker 1: said everything's off. Maybe they just both need some space. Ooh,
Speaker 1: break up before they even started really. Back in the gym,
Speaker 1: Rachel suggests they end practice for the day, and Zoe
Speaker 1: turns off her phone until further notice. Soon after, in
Speaker 1: the bathround, Zoe runs into Taylor again, who seems thrilled
Speaker 1: about the recent chain of events. Rachel stops by Zoe's
Speaker 1: house before this is by the way, she notes, okay,
Speaker 1: so at this point, Rachel, no, I'm sorry, not Rachel
Speaker 1: Taylor notices that Zoe is speaking into her phone. So
Speaker 1: first idea is, well, obviously she has a magical phone
Speaker 1: with an app that is controlling all the guys, because
Speaker 1: that's of course the first thing you think.
Speaker 3: Right, how did she come to that conclusion?
Speaker 1: Just like it's a thing, Like it's a thing.
Speaker 3: There's a magic phone, right, like that, like those apps
Speaker 3: actually exist.
Speaker 1: It just it was like, what God, this is again?
Speaker 1: I think this is where I yelled, am I taking
Speaker 1: crazy bills? Because I was like, what the hell's happening? No?
Speaker 2: Again it I don't know now, I can't now, I
Speaker 2: can't unthink what you were saying before.
Speaker 3: Like this movie or the books or whatever were tailored.
Speaker 2: For a younger, so that makes a lot more sense,
Speaker 2: like you know what I mean, a lot more magical
Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff like.
Speaker 3: Like that would have been a thought.
Speaker 2: I don't feel like a thought would have come to
Speaker 2: a high schooler, like, no, she must have an app
Speaker 2: that's controlling people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that would be something that like a little kid
Speaker 3: might think.
Speaker 1: Right, So this exact same movie set in elementary or
Speaker 1: middle school, a young middle school with a young cast. Great,
Speaker 1: then I'm buying it. It's all some smelly boys who
Speaker 1: are nine or ten.
Speaker 3: Sure, but even just like that, like imagination of being
Speaker 3: able to work?
Speaker 1: Yes, so yeah, of course that's the first thing. Two things.
Speaker 1: But Rachel stops by Zoe's house before the big basketball
Speaker 1: game and Zoe apologizes. She can't believe how she let
Speaker 1: this app take over life. She needs to find a
Speaker 1: way to fix things, but the app isn't working. It's
Speaker 1: only made things worse. And that's when she notices a
Speaker 1: paper on refrigerator. It's a notice from a college. A
Speaker 1: scout is coming to see Adam play tonight, and since
Speaker 1: he's still focused on random things, this is not going
Speaker 1: to end well. She now knows she's seriously messing with
Speaker 1: his entire future, so the girls run off to the
Speaker 1: game to figure it out. At the game, the gym
Speaker 1: announcer reveals that practices have been bad and there's a
Speaker 1: college scout in the stands, two things no one would
Speaker 1: ever announce as an announcer at a basketball game. Who
Speaker 1: would do that? Ever? Wow? That it's been bad practice
Speaker 1: all week and there's a scout in the stand never. Ever,
Speaker 1: It's like whoever wrote this movie had never met an
Speaker 1: actual male in their life, and so they second hand
Speaker 1: got from another woman got the like another woman met
Speaker 1: a man once and told her friend about it, who's
Speaker 1: never met a man, and that friend went off and
Speaker 1: wrote a movie about men. That's what it seemed like
Speaker 1: to me. There's just ninety percent of the stuff happening.
Speaker 1: I was like, none of this would ever happen ever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and this is not being Disney Channel.
Speaker 2: I'm okay for the Disney Channel stretch, Like you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, I am okay with that.
Speaker 3: This is just to the point where it's just like absurd,
Speaker 3: Like it like was like weird. It was just weird.
Speaker 3: The Disney's weird stuff.
Speaker 1: The Disney Channel stretch for me is the Italian or
Speaker 1: the Spanish guy who plays guitars plays guitar for the
Speaker 1: Cheetah Girls, and Doe looks up and falls love and
Speaker 1: he comes down while singing a song that I do
Speaker 1: know I mean right, but but you know what I
Speaker 1: mean though, it's like that they're like boys, but they're
Speaker 1: heightened versions of boys. Yes, Doe falls in love with
Speaker 1: the dancer, and he's a heightened version of himself. He's
Speaker 1: a dancer, but a banker. But no, it turns out, Okay,
Speaker 1: those those make sense. They're like still human. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: none of this made any sense to me. It was
Speaker 1: just like what is going on? And I know I
Speaker 1: seem to be bashing this movie, and it's because this
Speaker 1: movie sucks. That's why. Yes, you heard me, come at me,
Speaker 1: Come at me all day I do. I will defend
Speaker 1: movie I got from the beginning.
Speaker 3: I gotta know Lista probably knows the answer of this.
Speaker 2: What is like Team Zendaya called what are they called?
Speaker 2: You know, like you know ladys, like they're like monsters
Speaker 2: or whatever. Yeah, I gotta know what the who is
Speaker 2: gonna come at after us?
Speaker 3: Because it's definitely gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Maybe it'll be said. No, I even think I think
Speaker 1: Zendeia herself if she ever got my number and hit
Speaker 1: me up. The first she'd pick up the phone, she'd
Speaker 1: be like, you're right, that movie was terrible, because she's
Speaker 1: self aware enough as a performer to know this was
Speaker 1: not a good movie.
Speaker 3: Yea, yeah, so she got the wrong She got the
Speaker 3: wrong end of the.
Speaker 1: Stick on this one way way, got the fuzzy end
Speaker 1: of the low because she is phenomenal and this movie
Speaker 1: was not. They z Sweag swaggers zwagger like sweat like you.
Speaker 3: Got yeah waglaggers.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, the Zwaggers can come for me, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna stop the guard on them before they get there.
Speaker 1: Yi ugh. The coach and the team are still not
Speaker 1: in playing shape, so Zoe pulls her stepdad and mom
Speaker 1: off to the side and confesses. She tells them everything,
Speaker 1: admitting she wasn't ready for her new life, but now
Speaker 1: she wants to fix things. She just needs help. The
Speaker 1: youngest step brothers suggests they do what they do with
Speaker 1: their dog when they need him to stop doing sothing
Speaker 1: yell release, but now into the app. Zoe of course
Speaker 1: loves the idea because of course her family except her mom,
Speaker 1: completely accept the fact that they've been under a spell
Speaker 1: from a magical phone. She now, unfortunate though, can't find
Speaker 1: her phone. It's gone and the game is starting. Soon
Speaker 1: as the team takes the court, Zoe and Rachel figure
Speaker 1: out that Taylor took the phone when she saw her
Speaker 1: in the bathroom. We cut the Taylor and her underling
Speaker 1: examining the phone. They've immediately figured out the app and
Speaker 1: its powers, because of course they would. Okay, we already
Speaker 1: talked about why they wouldn't put this cick but okay,
Speaker 1: so now with the listen and obey app open, she
Speaker 1: tells some nearby jocks to shake again. That would mean
Speaker 1: shake her hand because it's not a real dogman, but
Speaker 1: they shake, but it obviously worked, causing the next thing
Speaker 1: we see is Taylor being carried in by some guys
Speaker 1: in the basketball game on the throne and then telling
Speaker 1: the visiting team to robot dance and her team to
Speaker 1: kick their legs like roquettes, and in the weirdest turn
Speaker 1: of events yet for a movie already filled with really
Speaker 1: weird events, the entire gymnasium just laughs, assuming it's musical
Speaker 1: theater inspired flash mob drunk with power. Now, Taylor tells
Speaker 1: every man to bow down to her, just as Zoe
Speaker 1: and Rachel arrive. Rachel knows this could be the end
Speaker 1: of the world as they know it, so she tells
Speaker 1: Taylor that the app won't solve anything. Forcing boys to
Speaker 1: do what you want doesn't make life any easier. You
Speaker 1: have to let guys act like themselves and accept them anyway,
Speaker 1: which is well, what I assume is what my wife did,
Speaker 1: and quite a message for young girls is this is
Speaker 1: this Oh my god, did this rub any? Did you
Speaker 1: rub me the wrong way?
Speaker 3: And it is? It does it was? You know you're
Speaker 3: you're trying to I'm so big.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: I grew up on the Channel. I love it.
Speaker 2: I love the messaging that the movies and the shows
Speaker 2: always had.
Speaker 3: This message is terrible. This is terrible good message to
Speaker 3: throw out into the universe for young kids to grab onto.
Speaker 3: It's weird. It's so strange. This does not in any
Speaker 3: way to me reflect what you would normally see on
Speaker 3: the Channel. It's just I we agree top to bottom, yep,
Speaker 3: right site as all of it. It's just weird.
Speaker 1: It is. Taylor doesn't care about her concerns and even
Speaker 1: infers that Zoe used the app to make Jason Kle
Speaker 1: Jackson Kle like her and perfectly time he enters the
Speaker 1: dim just to hear the accusation, of course, still wearing
Speaker 1: the leather jacket and the beanie, which that's got to
Speaker 1: smell at this point. But Zoe swears to Jackson she
Speaker 1: never used the app on him, but then amidst she
Speaker 1: did once just for that awful kiss on the cheek.
Speaker 1: To add insult to injury, Taylor forces coach ted to
Speaker 1: scoot around and bark like a dog, which she does,
Speaker 1: and right before she can command the rest of her
Speaker 1: family to do degrading things, Zoe suggests a way to
Speaker 1: directly punish her. Taylor can make Zoe do whatever she
Speaker 1: wants her to do, no need for an app She'll
Speaker 1: just follow her commands, and Zoe is told to beg, pant, sit, shake,
Speaker 1: and roll over like a dog, which she does happily.
Speaker 1: At this point, I'm like, why did somebody not just
Speaker 1: go up? And it's like she's holding your phone, which
Speaker 1: is clear, grab your phone, grab your phone back. Have
Speaker 1: your mom go up and say give me my daughter's
Speaker 1: phone back. Punch her in the face and you.
Speaker 3: Ate chop.
Speaker 1: I don't care, So I just I don't like do something.
Speaker 1: But she does. So there's a lie. She's so she's okay,
Speaker 1: if you haven't seen the movie, none of this is
Speaker 1: a joke. So she does all this stuff. She pants,
Speaker 1: she sits, she rolls over like a dog. Watching her
Speaker 1: commit these humiliating acts pulls her oldest step brother out
Speaker 1: of his trance somehow and he joins her on the floor,
Speaker 1: also doing these dog things as a silly sign of unity.
Speaker 1: Then coach stepdad Ted breaks out and joins in as well.
Speaker 1: Then the rest of her brothers and Jackson Gale follow
Speaker 1: suit like it's some sort of line dance. Notice the
Speaker 1: mother does not come and join them, which I thought
Speaker 1: was really weird. This also, of course infuriated but one
Speaker 1: weird thing after another. This also infuriates Taylor, especially because
Speaker 1: the app isn't work anymore. Zoe explains, you can never
Speaker 1: make a dog turn against its own pack, and then
Speaker 1: Rachel reveals herself to be the team mascot and tackles Taylor.
Speaker 1: Why did she have to be the mascot to do this?
Speaker 1: Couldn't she have tackled her like a while ago, just
Speaker 1: run out and tackled her before all the using the
Speaker 1: app and doing all this stuff?
Speaker 3: Now why I also thought she was with Zoe? Wasn't
Speaker 3: Didn't we see her with Zoe just not long before this?
Speaker 1: Yep? I think we did.
Speaker 2: And then and then she she ends up like somehow
Speaker 2: like secretively jumping into this mascot.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I was I was going, wait, what
Speaker 3: did she was she doing?
Speaker 1: This?
Speaker 3: Was this the part of the plan?
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 2: This is when I told you how I had to
Speaker 2: rewind it I because I think I took a break
Speaker 2: before this and went back and went, wait, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: Felt the same way. By the way, at this point,
Speaker 1: after watching it in chunks, I looked down at my
Speaker 1: watch and said, how is there.
Speaker 3: Still so much? I felt the same way, like, this
Speaker 3: is not even almost done. I don't have a couple
Speaker 3: of minutes left. There's fifteen, fifteen.
Speaker 1: Or twenty minutes left in the movie.
Speaker 3: And you're going, how, oh, how, how what else is
Speaker 3: there to be done?
Speaker 4: Yep?
Speaker 1: So yes, she gets tackled. The tackle hurls the phone
Speaker 1: into the air, and Zoe catches it to release everyone
Speaker 1: from their trance. The men aren't The men aren't sure
Speaker 1: what happened, but who cares. It's game time, and okay,
Speaker 1: that's what's left in the movie, the basketball game. And man,
Speaker 1: does this basketball game feels so unimportant now? Taylor assumes
Speaker 1: Zoe he's going to use the app to control the
Speaker 1: school and make every guy like her, but instead, our
Speaker 1: main character smashes the phone, breaking it forever. She says,
Speaker 1: there's more to life than what's on the phone, and
Speaker 1: then the game that means nothing anymore starts. While Zoe
Speaker 1: tells the truth to Jackson, she also admits she likes him,
Speaker 1: and in turn, he admits that he likes her. He
Speaker 1: wants to go on a real date with her, none
Speaker 1: of this hangout stuff. Rachel interrupts them. It's time for
Speaker 1: the big halftime dance off. Another thing that means gall
Speaker 1: at this point, I didn't even remember it was happening.
Speaker 1: At the end, I was like, oh my god. And
Speaker 1: then they keep cutting to the college scout, like what
Speaker 1: the who's taking notes in the front.
Speaker 5: O?
Speaker 3: Yes, of the dance scene, of the dance, Yes, all
Speaker 3: of it.
Speaker 1: Anyway. The dance off begins with the varsity squad taking
Speaker 1: the court first and performing a great routine. How will
Speaker 1: the JV rejects ever ever beat them? Zoe tells her
Speaker 1: squad to just follow their hearts and have fun. Without
Speaker 1: the power of the app who knows what will happen.
Speaker 1: The school uses an applause meter to gauge the winner,
Speaker 1: and Varsity is way out ahead. As they wrap up
Speaker 1: their performance, it's JV's turn now, and they start with
Speaker 1: the traditional hakka, something two of the nerds had been
Speaker 1: suggesting for the whole movie. Zoe joins in, and eventually
Speaker 1: the whole team breaks out into a very impressive hip
Speaker 1: hop er team. Fine, when everything is said and done,
Speaker 1: their moves almost break the APPLA and they didn't need
Speaker 1: the app after all, which leads me to wonder, if
Speaker 1: they're the JV team, why did she have to do
Speaker 1: the app to get them to dance? Well, if they
Speaker 1: were good dancers the entire time, the JV team has
Speaker 1: won and will represent the school at state, we fast forward. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna get to the fast forward yet
Speaker 1: because you're well, we're both resident dance experts, but i'll
Speaker 1: throw it to you first. What did you think of
Speaker 1: the two dances that meant nothing to anything and we're
Speaker 1: just there to watch Sendaya dance.
Speaker 2: I I mean, I kind of just let the varsity
Speaker 2: want happen because I was really just wanting to see.
Speaker 3: To be honest, they were okay, they weren't like.
Speaker 2: Noticeably horrible, but they weren't necessarily effective either. I don't
Speaker 2: know if that makes sense. You know, It's like it
Speaker 2: was kind of the first one was just it was
Speaker 2: just kind of average. I don't think it was something
Speaker 2: like super impressive of any sort.
Speaker 3: It was just just it was a dance mediocre.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wasn't like anything great or but then you know,
Speaker 2: Zendaya is trupe like they're great.
Speaker 3: It was fine, you know.
Speaker 2: To me, it was kind of funny with the hakka,
Speaker 2: like it was kind of like, Okay, I guess we're
Speaker 2: really going for I'm not really quite sure, like why
Speaker 2: Maui has jumped into my screen from Mauana.
Speaker 1: But that's what we're going for, okay, yep.
Speaker 3: But again, Zendaya was just like mesmerizing, so I was okay.
Speaker 1: She's a star. She's a star every time. You can't
Speaker 1: take your eyes off her.
Speaker 3: Amazing performer.
Speaker 2: Like I'm like, oh man, I wish I'd gone to
Speaker 2: the show when she was on Dancing with the Stars
Speaker 2: because she's just so good.
Speaker 3: I'm sure so good life.
Speaker 1: I didn't know she was on Dancing with the Stars.
Speaker 1: I have never watched that show until the season. But
Speaker 1: she's great. You can't take your eyes off her. She's
Speaker 1: a total star. So we fast forward to sometime in
Speaker 1: the future. Is always entire families getting ready for that
Speaker 1: jog and Zowa's going to join them. It appears they
Speaker 1: have successfully blended together and created one big happy music
Speaker 1: movie over. Nope, movies not over. We then find ourselves
Speaker 1: back in the tradition of characters dancing new music, mixing
Speaker 1: with bloopers for the credits. We even see one more
Speaker 1: scene where Ted accidentally calls Zoe Zendeia and you would
Speaker 1: think that's the end of the movie again, but no,
Speaker 1: we get a rare dcom after credits scene. We see
Speaker 1: a male student cleaning the gym. He tries to impress
Speaker 1: a pretty girl by doing all the work for her detention.
Speaker 1: While sweeping, he notices the broken cell phone in the trash.
Speaker 1: He examines it, and when the girl sprays it with
Speaker 1: her perfume, it starts to spark again and we're right
Speaker 1: back where we started. App ready to put everyone in
Speaker 1: a trance. But more importantly, thank god, we're at the
Speaker 1: end of our movie. Who are these characters that we
Speaker 1: saw at the end, What did they have to do
Speaker 1: with anything? None of this made any sense? Thank god,
Speaker 1: this movie.
Speaker 3: Set up for a second one. I mean, I don't know,
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's just bad. So anyway, let's do the real
Speaker 1: reviews Sabrina and you've got the one star and we
Speaker 1: have an honorable mention this week too as well. So
Speaker 1: can you read us our one star reviews?
Speaker 2: Absolutely? This one star comes from Shanny.
Speaker 3: St Creey movie.
Speaker 2: I'm against men personally, so this movie did spread a
Speaker 2: good message. But dogs are the best and it's mean
Speaker 2: to connect them to men. Love it adorable?
Speaker 1: That to me is as good and normal and like
Speaker 1: like thought out a review as the film was. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: but the honorable mention might be the greatest review I've
Speaker 1: ever heard in my life. Can you read the one
Speaker 1: star honorable mention too? Please?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: Honorable mention one star by Brian Frederick. If COVID nineteen
Speaker 2: in cancer teamed up to make a movie, this would
Speaker 2: be it.
Speaker 3: It would be this.
Speaker 1: Oh there is a review for the Ages people. I've
Speaker 1: got a five star review, which I'm amazed we found one.
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir Jensen. This is a five star review
Speaker 1: from izy h. Hello again, guys. I watched this movie
Speaker 1: with my loud friends again, but they were okay this
Speaker 1: time because I threw popcorn at them lol. First of all,
Speaker 1: this movie is so good and shows a clear message
Speaker 1: that girls rule and boys suck.
Speaker 4: I like that.
Speaker 1: I knew so many people like the Queens Anddeia, the
Speaker 1: boy from Radio Rebel and the dude from lab Rats,
Speaker 1: the blonde mean girl from Zombies, someone from Make It Pop,
Speaker 1: and a guy from Descendants. I think the only improvement
Speaker 1: would be that all the characters wear plaid. Five stars. Wow,
Speaker 1: thank you, Izzy h Babe.
Speaker 3: Next time.
Speaker 1: We break the pill in half. And now we come
Speaker 1: to Sabrina's favorite favorite part of our program, the feature
Speaker 1: game that we have. And so here we go to
Speaker 1: celebrate the debut of apps in a d com. Thanks
Speaker 1: to the listen and obey app terrible name for a product,
Speaker 1: by the way, we were going to be given the
Speaker 1: original names for apps or websites and we have to
Speaker 1: guess from a multiple choice list which very popular technological
Speaker 1: giant it became. So, for example, here's an easy one.
Speaker 1: Uber Cab became Uber three out of five wins. Number
Speaker 1: one Peekaboo was peekaboo, a Twitter, b TikTok or c Snapchat.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go a cee Snapchat.
Speaker 1: I am too. I've never once ever used Snapchat. I
Speaker 1: don't know what it is, but well I think if
Speaker 1: I know what it is, it's like that's the one
Speaker 1: where the picture comes up and then disappears, right it, well.
Speaker 3: It it's only up for twenty four hours. Was like
Speaker 3: the idea of it.
Speaker 1: I think it before before we start. I'm sorry, we
Speaker 1: know the producer Jensen isn't here. Who do we have
Speaker 1: with us? Reading? Reading us? This week?
Speaker 6: You're stuck with Lisa like you've never stuck with the
Speaker 6: joy to have.
Speaker 3: So yeah, there was this idea of like this was.
Speaker 2: I feel like Snapchat was right after like Facebook or whatever,
Speaker 2: where you put something, you post something, and it's on forever.
Speaker 2: This was this was it only goes, It only is
Speaker 2: on for twenty four hours, and then it disappears. And
Speaker 2: that's when my kids would think, like, oh, it's not that.
Speaker 3: Big of a deal if I post like a lot
Speaker 3: of issues.
Speaker 2: That happened with Snapchat originally was like the kind of
Speaker 2: scandalous things that kids were posting because they thought they
Speaker 2: could just like take it off. But it's like anyone
Speaker 2: can screenshot it, anyone can see it, you know. Soever
Speaker 2: people peek a boo makes sense to.
Speaker 1: Me, me too, snap Snapchat. We're gonna go both go.
Speaker 6: And see you're both correct.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay. The next one, number two, Confinity is confinity
Speaker 1: a PayPal, b zell or C cash App.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with a PayPal.
Speaker 1: I'm going to agree with you a PayPal.
Speaker 6: It is PayPal.
Speaker 1: Yes we are two for two. Number number three bourbon
Speaker 1: b U R b N Bourbon. Was that a due
Speaker 1: lingo B Instagram or see WhatsApp? I'm gonna say it's
Speaker 1: b Instagram.
Speaker 3: I guess I don't understand bourbon at all.
Speaker 1: I don't either, which is why it's so weird.
Speaker 3: I'm going to go and see WhatsApp.
Speaker 6: It is Instagram.
Speaker 1: Hey, I already want I wonder what that what that
Speaker 1: would be so weird to the obviously the guys you
Speaker 1: created it, they knew exactly what that meant. It was
Speaker 1: something like, well, I drank bourbon one night and I
Speaker 1: came up with this idea. It's going to be something
Speaker 1: like that. Number four BackRub was BackRub a Google B
Speaker 1: discord or see uber.
Speaker 3: Background. I feel like is Google.
Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm gonna say Google this one.
Speaker 1: For some reason, I'm going to say Google too, it
Speaker 1: is Google. Hey, for.
Speaker 4: We won?
Speaker 1: We both won. And Number five kibble was kibble A Amazon, B,
Speaker 1: Facebook or C Netflix.
Speaker 3: I think I don't know why I'm gonna go with
Speaker 3: Amazon a A.
Speaker 1: I'm going to say, ce Netflix, did you just.
Speaker 6: Get a perfect score?
Speaker 3: Five or five? Do you know any of those for sure?
Speaker 3: Right away? I knew like two, Okay, did you know
Speaker 3: the Kibble one?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 6: I knew BackRub, but I can't remember what the other
Speaker 6: one was.
Speaker 1: By the way, Bourbon, BackRub and Kibble and Confinity all
Speaker 1: guesses for me. I figured peekaboo with Snapchat, but all
Speaker 1: the rest of yeah, completely guessed.
Speaker 6: Buy that lottery ticket right now?
Speaker 3: Will yes?
Speaker 1: Seriously? Surreal? Wow? Can we do Sabrina C's please?
Speaker 2: I thought you would actually catch on to this one,
Speaker 2: but this movie, Zendaya is the queen of like Jackets,
Speaker 2: Slash Blazers, Slash always has a second layer on.
Speaker 3: I didn't notice that she was just I mean, and
Speaker 3: they were cute.
Speaker 2: And that's probably why I recognize it a little bit more,
Speaker 2: just like her friend always had a hat on. If
Speaker 2: it wasn't a fedora, it was like a sideways hip
Speaker 2: hop hat.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: And so yeah, to the point where my second one
Speaker 2: is when her friend why can't I think of what
Speaker 2: Zoe's best friend's name is?
Speaker 1: Ohel?
Speaker 2: When Rachel comes out of the mascot. I almost didn't
Speaker 2: recognize her because she did not have a on like
Speaker 2: your hat, yeah, which she It was like, your face
Speaker 2: looks different because she don't have half of it covers.
Speaker 2: Brought me straight to my second one, and then the
Speaker 2: the last thing was just the bad girl's handshake. You
Speaker 2: know how we've seen.
Speaker 3: I wanted to.
Speaker 2: Actually, this is a question kind of for our producers,
Speaker 2: who are complete, like amazing just pros at everything. Yes,
Speaker 2: did that handshake ever become like a meme or anything
Speaker 2: like that, because there's a very distinct handshake between the
Speaker 2: bad girls right before they do their thing. They have
Speaker 2: like a flip, a hair flip into this or that. Lisa,
Speaker 2: do you know if anything happened from that, because it
Speaker 2: was a pretty good handshake.
Speaker 6: I do not remember. I don't know. I think get
Speaker 6: this one the one scene in that movie where they
Speaker 6: get on the floor.
Speaker 1: On that one next.
Speaker 6: Other than that, I don't remember the handshake.
Speaker 2: I just recently saw my last one was I mentioned
Speaker 2: it earlier in the podcast that there was one of
Speaker 2: the most awkward scenes and this is like on the
Speaker 2: top five most awkward scenes like on Instagram.
Speaker 3: It kind of made me go into it because I
Speaker 3: hadn't we had seen this movie yet.
Speaker 2: But this clip where they are doing the dog thing
Speaker 2: and they're all they all join in. This was on
Speaker 2: like Disney's number like top five, and it was like
Speaker 2: number two. It was it was I started researching it
Speaker 2: a little bit because we have seen some of them.
Speaker 2: It's one of them was from the others one.
Speaker 1: Camp Rock twere they walk in the dance That one
Speaker 1: is on it.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of. And then there was like
Speaker 2: a waver Waverly place one and then this was on it.
Speaker 2: But anyway, so yes, so I had to make sure
Speaker 2: we talked about it. I thought we would have anyway,
Speaker 2: but it was bonkers.
Speaker 3: It was so weird. It was like, even though we
Speaker 3: had already.
Speaker 2: Seen so many just strange moments and characters and things
Speaker 2: that were going on, this still happened. And it happened
Speaker 2: at the end of the movie, and then again we
Speaker 2: already talked about it.
Speaker 3: Then I was like, oh my.
Speaker 2: God, we still have so much more time and we've
Speaker 2: already passed the ninety minute mark. At this point, You're
Speaker 2: just like going, what else could we do that's going
Speaker 2: to just make this movie?
Speaker 3: Ough?
Speaker 1: Yep, that was it. I'm at this, Okay, I'm I
Speaker 1: never do this. I've literally I don't think I've done
Speaker 1: this in however many movies we have reviewed. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I need to ask producer Lisa, Yes, did you.
Speaker 2: Like this movie?
Speaker 5: I will tell you I I did not rewatch it.
Speaker 5: I have not seen it since I did press for
Speaker 5: it in twenty fourteen. Okay, but the answer is probably no.
Speaker 5: But I will tell you that you can tell difference.
Speaker 5: So there's about a handful of Disney Channel movies that
Speaker 5: were made by an outside company.
Speaker 6: So it's like sixteen Wishes, Radio.
Speaker 3: Rebel, this, this Radio Rebel.
Speaker 5: There's a couple others, and you can tell because they're
Speaker 5: also very heavily Canadian with like their actors, and you
Speaker 5: can just kind of tell a difference. And these ones
Speaker 5: Disney just kind of licensed. So it doesn't really have
Speaker 5: that same magic of a real DCOM.
Speaker 7: Doesn't definitely well, yeah, like a fully produced, fully bringing
Speaker 7: in Disney writers, bringing in the whole thing.
Speaker 3: This movie fully misses the mark of a d COM
Speaker 3: for sure.
Speaker 2: And now that you said that, with the other ones,
Speaker 2: I feel like there were differences that you can see,
Speaker 2: Like I remember thinking Radio Rebel didn't. We liked it,
Speaker 2: but it didn't seem like a what we were used
Speaker 2: to seeing in G comms.
Speaker 1: So okay, well, now we get to the point. Thank you.
Speaker 1: I had to ask producer Lisa because I was so
Speaker 1: curious because if you came on and said, this is
Speaker 1: my favorite movie and I would have to meet it
Speaker 1: at park ten paces away, because it's possible that I
Speaker 1: don't want to know. I don't want to know. Okay,
Speaker 1: So now we have to rate this movie. Uh, let's
Speaker 1: do one out of ten this time, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: make ten. No, we'll make ten the biggest. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: So our options are one out of ten, hanukkahs on
Speaker 1: rye one out of ten, chocolate carries fart bombs. Please
Speaker 1: don't pick that one. Justin Schortz one at a ten,
Speaker 1: sloppy Nacho borsch witches, jelly pickle, taco Carmel Sundays one
Speaker 1: out of ten, Shake dog commands, musical theater inspired flash
Speaker 1: mobs are one out of ten. Confusing after credit scenes.
Speaker 1: Which one would you like to do this week?
Speaker 3: I guess confusing after credits scenes?
Speaker 1: Okay, I agree, I think do I go first this time?
Speaker 1: Or do you go first?
Speaker 3: I think it's my turn to go first.
Speaker 1: Take the gosh.
Speaker 3: You know again, love Zendaya. I can't say that more
Speaker 3: at all, because this, to me was an unfortunate situation
Speaker 3: she put had was put placed in.
Speaker 2: Now we've done interviews and and David Henry, who we
Speaker 2: have recently talked to, mentioned because I wasn't on a
Speaker 2: TV show for them, like on their shows, I was
Speaker 2: in the D coms for them, he had mentioned that
Speaker 2: they're like in their contract of some sort, they had
Speaker 2: ties and like that this was an expectation.
Speaker 3: So because that's what he talked about with Dad Nap, Yeah,
Speaker 3: that stuck with me a lot during this movie.
Speaker 2: Was this something that she read and would have possibly
Speaker 2: passed on, but because in her contract with her show,
Speaker 2: was kind of.
Speaker 3: Couraged a little bit more to do this.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but it just didn't seem like a
Speaker 2: like a like a project she would have really jumped on.
Speaker 2: For me, this didn't seem like her brand either, if
Speaker 2: that makes sense. So I struggled really bad with this one.
Speaker 2: I again, I'm put in a position where I love
Speaker 2: the actor, love everything about them and their career.
Speaker 3: This was a miss, A huge miss for me.
Speaker 1: So I.
Speaker 2: This is one of my worst ratings, and I want
Speaker 2: to say I'm sorry before I get I.
Speaker 3: Don't tell my girl but and her zwaggers. But I'm
Speaker 3: giving this a four point five confusing after credit.
Speaker 1: Okay, after credit scene means that's fair. Oh, I thought
Speaker 1: it hurts.
Speaker 3: It hurts me.
Speaker 1: I agree with everything you said. She's a star. You
Speaker 1: gotta take her kind of out of the equation because
Speaker 1: we're here to talk about movies. Okay, So Double Teamed
Speaker 1: are all the other movies that I've given lower ratings
Speaker 1: to that I didn't like. I can get why other
Speaker 1: people would like. I could watch something like Double Teamed
Speaker 1: and see why somebody would would watch that at a
Speaker 1: certain age or any time and be like, you know what,
Speaker 1: this was one of my favorite movies. Okay, it wasn't
Speaker 1: for me, but I get that. Yeah, I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't see how anyone could watch this movie and like
Speaker 1: this movie. I don't. I don't understand it. So I
Speaker 1: think you were amazingly generous again taking her out of
Speaker 1: the equation. I'm giving this too confusing. Gosh, after the scenes,
Speaker 1: I liked nothing of this movie. This was if this
Speaker 1: if Zendaya wasn't in this movie. This is the one
Speaker 1: of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 1: I just watched Troll two, which is considered the worst
Speaker 1: movie ever made, and I had so much more fun
Speaker 1: watching Troll Too than I had watching this movie.
Speaker 3: Troll to like the cartoon No Troll.
Speaker 1: Troll what is considered one of the worst movies of
Speaker 1: all times. A movie called t which literally has nothing
Speaker 1: to do as a goblin. Yeah, well it's supposed to be,
Speaker 1: but it's not. It's like the dumbest older older Okay,
Speaker 1: it's it's awful, but it's awful in a fun, fun way.
Speaker 1: And yes, I think Jennifer Anderson was in the first
Speaker 1: Troll movie and the second one had nothing to do
Speaker 1: with it. It was about goblins, but it became famous.
Speaker 1: They've did They did a documentary. Michael Paul Stevenson, who
Speaker 1: was the kid star of Troll two, did a documentary
Speaker 1: on Netflix. It's really funny about making this movie. It's
Speaker 1: great that at least was tongue in cheek and fun
Speaker 1: and I enjoyed watching one of the worst movie. This
Speaker 1: was just bad. Everything about it was bad. The acting
Speaker 1: was fine. I'm taking the acting completely out of the
Speaker 1: equation because even the other actors in the project who
Speaker 1: had the you know, had to do characters like the
Speaker 1: Fartmeister or whatever his name was. The acting wasn't bad.
Speaker 3: You sold it. It just was weird that they were
Speaker 3: doing it.
Speaker 1: In general, I do not blame the cast for this
Speaker 1: one at all, which is the cast alone bumps this
Speaker 1: up to a two for me. Wow, A too confusing
Speaker 1: after credit scenes. This was not a good movie. I
Speaker 1: again stand by this was not a good movie. Get
Speaker 1: why people would be like Double Teamed was great or
Speaker 1: you're such a jerk, Brink is amazing. I get that
Speaker 1: point of view.
Speaker 4: This.
Speaker 1: I don't see how you can defend this movie. It
Speaker 1: was just bad. Anyway, there we are wrapping it up,
Speaker 1: thank god. Next week we're doing Zapped two. No, I'm
Speaker 1: kidding right now, exactly, No, please, I think I think
Speaker 1: our next movie is gonna be awesome. I'm hoping because
Speaker 1: we really liked the first one. Yes, that's right, we're
Speaker 1: going back to spooky season and sequel season. It's time
Speaker 1: to tackle Halloween Town too with with my good friend Kimberly.
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm excited for this one because we liked
Speaker 1: the first one. We love the world. Some people I
Speaker 1: think even like the second one better than they like
Speaker 1: the first one. Yeah, I'm excited for I am too,
Speaker 1: and I need a good palate cleanser now. So, as
Speaker 1: you can imagine, Halloween Town two is available to stream
Speaker 1: on Disney Plus, so make sure you go and do
Speaker 1: your homework. But before we all get scared together, let's
Speaker 1: take a trip back to what we were talking about
Speaker 1: to camp Rock. For our park Opper episode, we spoke
Speaker 1: to Anna Maria Perez to Tagli, who is known to
Speaker 1: magical rewinders as Ella from the Camp Rock movies or
Speaker 1: Ashley de Witt from Hannah Montana. With all this chatter
Speaker 1: about an upcoming Camp Rock sequel, we had an awful
Speaker 1: lot to talk about. So let's hear a preview of
Speaker 1: what you can expect.
Speaker 8: We had a different director, we had a different choreographer.
Speaker 8: The dancing was so much harder, and I did half
Speaker 8: of that movie with a sprain foot, so all of
Speaker 8: the dance numbers, especially we Can't Back Down, which is
Speaker 8: the you know, the sign language one. I was struggling
Speaker 8: and me watching it back, I was like, I could
Speaker 8: see that struggle.
Speaker 3: I'm sure.
Speaker 8: Now that I'm telling everyone, people will watch it back
Speaker 8: and be like, oh, yeah, but she did not turn
Speaker 8: on beat.
Speaker 1: Ooh that was a good one. Yes it was. Make
