Speaker 1: So what do you remember most about nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2: Six being two years old?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: Huh, what do you remember most about eighty six? Walk
Speaker 3: me through your experience in the middle eighties.
Speaker 2: In the yeah, the mid eighties.
Speaker 1: You were born in eighty four.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, sorry old.
Speaker 1: I just got so old, instantly got so old.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I mean I think I was. I
Speaker 2: don't really were walking walk in. I'm sure as jam in,
Speaker 2: learning the little bit of dance here and there too.
Speaker 1: You were dancing already at two.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 4: I've always loved music, so I've always not been able
Speaker 4: to help myself, but like Baptist songs, and you know.
Speaker 2: I just was always really like I gravitated towards it
Speaker 2: a lot.
Speaker 1: Interesting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what do you remember about eighty six?
Speaker 1: I was ten years old in eighty six. I remember
Speaker 1: a lot. I was.
Speaker 3: Uh, that's when I started professionally acting. I was in
Speaker 3: my first stage play and with Mary McDonald and David
Speaker 3: Suthen in nineteen eighty six at.
Speaker 1: A Dollar's House.
Speaker 3: Oh that's where you know. My career started in eighty six.
Speaker 3: So eighty six was a big year for me. I
Speaker 3: think by ten I was I had my first little
Speaker 3: dirt bike motorcycle. So I started riding around the streets
Speaker 3: and my dirt bike and it was a laser tag
Speaker 3: was big.
Speaker 2: Wait did you wear safety gear?
Speaker 1: Of course? Oh yeah, yeah, oh you did.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: If my parents are attorneys, they weren't going to let
Speaker 3: me anywhere unless I was covered head to toe.
Speaker 4: I always just think about now, even just we're getting
Speaker 4: you know, Monroe her first tricycle or whatever, bicycle and
Speaker 4: scooter and stuff, and you go on Amazon, the only
Speaker 4: place to get stuff like that anymore this point, and
Speaker 4: there's a whole package.
Speaker 2: You don't just get a helmet.
Speaker 4: It's risk guards, elbow guard's, knee pads. I'm basically putting
Speaker 4: it out there.
Speaker 2: In a bubble wrap.
Speaker 4: And it's like, I can't imagine that's how it was
Speaker 4: back in the day. I don't remember having all of
Speaker 4: that when I was rollerblading for the first time or
Speaker 4: bicycling regular bicycle.
Speaker 3: The idea of wearing a helmet in the eighties when
Speaker 3: you just were on your bike was insane. You'd fall,
Speaker 3: you'd hit your head, you'd forget that day and you'd
Speaker 3: start again the next day.
Speaker 1: That's that's what happened. It's better Now with.
Speaker 2: That say yes, absolutely, absolutely.
Speaker 3: Oh, welcome back to Magical Rewind, the show that makes
Speaker 3: you want to grab your friends, your pjs, and your
Speaker 3: popcorn and go back to a time when all the
Speaker 3: houses were smart, the waves, Tsunamis and the high School's musical.
Speaker 1: I'm Wilford Del.
Speaker 2: And I'm Sabrina Bryan, and we are talking.
Speaker 3: About nineteen eighty six for a very good reason. It's
Speaker 3: because it's time to wrangle the kids and save the orphanage.
Speaker 3: Because this week we're traveling back to that wonderful year
Speaker 3: of nineteen eighty six with the Wonderful World of Disney
Speaker 3: movie The Leftovers. Now, it's a film from Disney's past
Speaker 3: that has been completely and totally destroyed in Google searches
Speaker 3: by the much more recent HBO show from Damon Lindelof.
Speaker 3: It originally aired on Sunday Night on ABC, and it
Speaker 3: would eventually replay ten times on the Disney Channel in
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety, which gave it a bit of a second life.
Speaker 3: It debuted on November sixteenth, nineteen eighty six, and to
Speaker 3: get ahead of ourselves a little bit here, it stars singer,
Speaker 3: songwriter and superstar of the time, John Denver, who is
Speaker 3: one of the best selling artists of the seventies. He
Speaker 3: sold over thirty three million records Wow and Yeah. And
Speaker 3: he started his acting during the explosion of his career,
Speaker 3: breaking out in the nineteen seventy seven movie Blockbuster Movie,
Speaker 3: great film, George Burns' comedy Oh God, which then had
Speaker 3: a great sequel, Oh God, You Devil. But then he
Speaker 3: took almost ten years off from TV and movies, and
Speaker 3: it was actually this movie, The Leftovers, that brought him
Speaker 3: back to acting. And not only did it mark the
Speaker 3: return of the musical phenomenon, it was early in the
Speaker 3: careers of so many actors.
Speaker 4: This was so Probably my favorite part of the movie
Speaker 4: is the first time so many of these very young
Speaker 4: actors that I had never seen, yeah, acting that young before.
Speaker 4: You know, at that age again, I was young, really young.
Speaker 4: This I mean was like ah, I mean, they just
Speaker 4: kept at the first like ten minutes of the movie,
Speaker 4: they just kept popping up.
Speaker 2: In your face and you're like, wait, what, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: You know, there is almost no one in this movie
Speaker 3: that I don't recognize, from from the bit players to
Speaker 3: the bigger I mean, it's like one person after another. Yeah,
Speaker 3: became bigger actors. Character actors went on to star on TV.
Speaker 3: It is a stacked cast and we will get into
Speaker 3: that before we do. Though, you can watch the leftovers
Speaker 3: for the Freeze.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 3: It costs you no money on YouTube, which is on
Speaker 3: the computer machine, so you can go watch it now
Speaker 3: if you like or don't.
Speaker 1: You can only lead a horse to water.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 4: One tidbit though, it the one you want to download
Speaker 4: from YouTube is the picture with with John Denver, because
Speaker 4: otherwise when I.
Speaker 2: First started going, it was part one, ten minutes Part two.
Speaker 1: I oh, you had one of the broken up ones.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I couldn't.
Speaker 4: And then I realized, oh wait, and I found another one,
Speaker 4: and that's a full.
Speaker 1: Nice, very the whole movie. It looks great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's actually a John Denver fan page that posted
Speaker 3: that posted the full movie.
Speaker 2: That's why I didn't think it was an actual movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought it was.
Speaker 4: I thought it was going to be a montage of
Speaker 4: all their favorite greats and hits and all that Johnny.
Speaker 2: So that's a good tipic.
Speaker 4: Guys, go to the one where it's a nice little
Speaker 4: album looking picture of him, and that is a full
Speaker 4: movie for you.
Speaker 1: That is from beginning to end.
Speaker 3: Now, one thing I want to talk about right at
Speaker 3: the beginning here is because you played a very famous
Speaker 3: foster child in Cheetah Girls. I mean, so another Disney famous,
Speaker 3: kind of not really famous trope. But I mean a
Speaker 3: lot of kids movies deal with orphanages or with foster children.
Speaker 3: So I mean, did you know anything about the leftovers
Speaker 3: when you film Cheatah Girls? Was this like, I'm going
Speaker 3: to go watch that movie, now get in character for
Speaker 3: the Cheater Girls.
Speaker 4: Well, as a matter of fact, I kept finding myself
Speaker 4: just because we didn't dive in much after the first
Speaker 4: movie of being a foster child. That was kind of
Speaker 4: the big chunk that you got within the three movies.
Speaker 4: But what it all sets up is kind of more
Speaker 4: what I feel most movies set it up is not
Speaker 4: a great place to grow up, not a lot of stuff.
Speaker 4: And the beginning of the movie, as we're going through it,
Speaker 4: I don't want to jump ahead too much, but these
Speaker 4: kids had the biggest rooms, huge homes, giant house.
Speaker 1: All their stuff, bikes and stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so this was very different than what we were
Speaker 4: trying to portray within my character of not having a lot,
Speaker 4: you know, really struggling having to kind of pick in
Speaker 4: piece little outfits together for her, you know, cute vibe
Speaker 4: things like that.
Speaker 2: This was a little bit different.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll talk about that, because it does seem like
Speaker 3: the environment they were in did not seem to be
Speaker 3: very foster. You know, again, I don't know much about
Speaker 3: the foster care system, but I do not imagine it
Speaker 3: was much like this right set up that day.
Speaker 4: At least is how it always played out on the media,
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, on movies and TVs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they really set this one.
Speaker 2: It was a cool house with some cool crazing.
Speaker 3: Yes, all right, So before we perform surgery on a
Speaker 3: dolls broken leg or remove part of its brain, let's
Speaker 3: get into the synopsis here. The director of a foster
Speaker 3: home hires a young widow. Weirdly, we'll get into that too,
Speaker 3: how she just shows up. But the director of foster
Speaker 3: home hires a young widow to keep house for his
Speaker 3: family of forgotten orphans, only to find out there's a
Speaker 3: devious plan set in motion to completely shut down and
Speaker 3: sell the house right right off the bat. What did
Speaker 3: you think of the film?
Speaker 4: So again, one of the things that really first of all,
Speaker 4: the very first thing I thought was, I asked, Jordan,
Speaker 4: who work? My husband and I are watching it together,
Speaker 4: and there's this contraption on a bicycle that flings out
Speaker 4: her newspapers.
Speaker 1: Newspaper.
Speaker 4: Now again, by the time I came around newspapers, someone
Speaker 4: was driving in a car, maybe throwing them. I don't
Speaker 4: even really think I ever paid attention to how much
Speaker 4: how a newspaper came to the door or on the driveway.
Speaker 2: But this was new to me, and so I'm going, Jordan,
Speaker 2: is that how he goes? He's younger than me. He's like,
Speaker 2: I have no idea. I don't know if that's a
Speaker 2: normal newspaper contraption. I'm like, that thing's kind of cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh no, oh, so wait you he thought that
Speaker 3: maybe in the eighties there was an actual newspaper cannon
Speaker 3: that attached to bikes.
Speaker 2: Yes, those are cool.
Speaker 1: What what were the eighties like in your mind? I'm curious,
Speaker 1: very brief and not really existent.
Speaker 2: So I had no idea.
Speaker 3: I think we have to assume that that is her
Speaker 3: inventor brother.
Speaker 2: Once I find.
Speaker 4: Out she's got an inventor brother, and I see all
Speaker 4: his other gadgets, That's when I said, oh, man, Will's
Speaker 4: going to.
Speaker 1: Young people wondering about if we had newspaper launchers attached
Speaker 1: to the bikes in the eighties.
Speaker 4: Sorry, I'm sorry, I know, I you know, but it
Speaker 4: had to be said because it really happened to me
Speaker 4: while I was watching this movie.
Speaker 1: Did you like the film overall?
Speaker 4: I thought there was so many holes and not making
Speaker 4: sense points and things that I'm excited to kind of
Speaker 4: dive into. But I did love Again. I loved the
Speaker 4: young cast. Yeah, and I thought I thought they're little
Speaker 4: characters and their idea of this close knit family that
Speaker 4: you again, which is such a great message. You don't
Speaker 4: always have to be born into this amazing tight knit family.
Speaker 4: You can create that, you know, and these kids embracing
Speaker 4: it and him as a as a foster dad for them.
Speaker 4: He I mean, especially towards the end. And I will
Speaker 4: say that if in my Sabrina Seaes, if we don't
Speaker 4: cover I teered up.
Speaker 2: There was one cut that I teared up.
Speaker 4: So, I you know, there were quite a few things
Speaker 4: that were hard to get over. It wasn't I was
Speaker 4: not excited to jump and watch it for a second time,
Speaker 4: that's for sure. Yeah, maybe down the line, I will,
Speaker 4: But it was it was pretty good.
Speaker 2: It was pretty good.
Speaker 1: I kind of felt the same way again.
Speaker 3: The cast stellar great to see all the young talent
Speaker 3: that was there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, John Denver.
Speaker 4: I'm assuming in their like firs first roles to these
Speaker 4: little kids right by their first opportunity.
Speaker 3: This was par for the course back in the eighties,
Speaker 3: especially which was I mean not the newspaper shooters that
Speaker 3: was a fake thing, but taking a movie like so ABC, NBC, Disney,
Speaker 3: they would all do this thing where they would take
Speaker 3: these movies of the week and you would cast it
Speaker 3: as many people that were big on television at the
Speaker 3: time as possible, you know, And I think NBC was
Speaker 3: the one that really started to do it with movies
Speaker 3: like Poison IVY or High School USA, where they would
Speaker 3: take Michael J. Fox, they would take cast members from
Speaker 3: different strokes and they put them all into one kind
Speaker 3: of movie. So this was a fun version of that
Speaker 3: where it hadn't it happened without them knowing it, meaning
Speaker 3: that a bunch of the kids they cast would then.
Speaker 1: Go on ye incredible career. So I felt the same way.
Speaker 3: A lot of it made absolutely no sense, It needed
Speaker 3: a solid rewrite, but it was It was fun for
Speaker 3: what it was.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, we keep talking about the cast that's stacked.
Speaker 1: Why don't we get into.
Speaker 2: The get into it because it's pretty awesome.
Speaker 1: It really is.
Speaker 3: So we've already mentioned that the movie stars John Denver.
Speaker 3: He plays Max Sinclair.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: John Denver was obviously a singing and songwriting legend who
Speaker 3: dabbled TV.
Speaker 1: So the hit songs are one after another.
Speaker 3: It's Leaving on a jet plane, take Me Home, Country Road,
Speaker 3: Rocky Mountain High.
Speaker 1: I mean, just one kind of hit after another.
Speaker 3: He also became the first American artist to tour the
Speaker 3: USSR after the Cold War, and it was considered a
Speaker 3: massive moment in a very tense situation between the two megapowers.
Speaker 3: He was also the first Western artist to do a
Speaker 3: multi city tour of mainland China in nineteen ninety two.
Speaker 3: John Denver was like the guy you called when when
Speaker 3: a country finally opened up and something western was allowed,
Speaker 3: we'd send John Denver, Like, there you go, John, take
Speaker 3: it for us, Golden Boy. He was a huge fan
Speaker 3: of airplanes. He famously wanted to be one of the
Speaker 3: first people to go in the Space Shuttle. When he
Speaker 3: was one of the people considered actually when Kristam Kaliffe,
Speaker 3: the unfortunate teacher who died in nineteen eighty six on
Speaker 3: the shuttle Challenger. John Denver was one of the people
Speaker 3: that was actually considered to go up on the shuttle
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 1: He loved being a pilot.
Speaker 3: It was one of his first love's next to music,
Speaker 3: and unfortunately it cost him his life because he tragically
Speaker 3: died in nineteen ninety seven while piloting an experimental aircraft
Speaker 3: above Monterey Bay, and he was only fifty three years old,
Speaker 3: which is a shame. Second on the call sheet is
Speaker 3: Cindy Williams, who is another television legend. She is universally
Speaker 3: beloved as Shirley Feenie, Yes that is her last name,
Speaker 3: Shirley Feenie in Laverne and Shirley, a sitcom that is
Speaker 3: still considered one of the greatest ever created. She plays
Speaker 3: Heather Drew. That's the nanny that's hired and I'm putting
Speaker 3: hired in quotes. She just shows up, which is really weird,
Speaker 3: to help at the orphanage in exchange for room board.
Speaker 3: Williams would also appear in the movies American Graffiti and
Speaker 3: The Conversation and was working as recently as last year
Speaker 3: when she.
Speaker 1: Passed away at the age of seventy five. Very unfortunate.
Speaker 3: She was a great, great television presence, especially and television legend.
Speaker 1: And then a friend of mine.
Speaker 3: Pam Adlon, but credited as Pam Saghal, plays Jesse, the
Speaker 3: street smart orphan with a strong sense of friendship. Pam
Speaker 3: has been acting since the age of nine, but it
Speaker 3: wasn't until her fifties that she became a familiar name
Speaker 3: in pop culture. She began her career in Greece two
Speaker 3: and would appear on shows like Facts of Life in
Speaker 3: Night Court. She was in movies like Say Anything, The
Speaker 3: Adventures of Ford Fairlane, but it wasn't until thirty years
Speaker 3: later that her role on Louis and then the spinoff.
Speaker 3: I guess it's kind of a spinoff, but not really.
Speaker 3: It's more about her life better things that she'd find
Speaker 3: herself nominated for six Emmy Awards. She is also, and
Speaker 3: I can say this, one of the most talented and
Speaker 3: heralded voice actors of all time. She's best known as
Speaker 3: Bobby Hill on King of the Hill, a role that
Speaker 3: she won an Emmy four in two thousand and two.
Speaker 3: And here's some other things. She's been in of the
Speaker 3: hundreds of I mean, she's a legend in the animation world.
Speaker 3: Rick and Morty, Bob's, Burger's, Phineas and ferb Rugrats and
Speaker 3: Recess where she was Spinelli. She was also my Pumyra
Speaker 3: to my Liono in ThunderCats and I got to write.
Speaker 1: I wrote the two episodes she was in. It was
Speaker 1: really really cool.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: And she's the nicest, sweetest. What you see is what
Speaker 3: you get with Pam. She's so funny and she's was
Speaker 3: a talented actor even back in the day.
Speaker 1: It's just some meant to be in this industry.
Speaker 2: Yes, she was so cute.
Speaker 1: She is great.
Speaker 3: And then Friend of Ours, friend of all the podcasts
Speaker 3: in the world. Andrew Barber plays Zoe, the quirky stuffed
Speaker 3: animal doctor living in the orphanage Andrews, best known as
Speaker 3: the iconic Kimmy Gibbler from full and Fuller House.
Speaker 1: This is well over a year before that.
Speaker 3: Uh, the audition for full House when she was just
Speaker 3: little kid was this movie.
Speaker 1: So she was already rocking it.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 4: So she was even younger than I thought when she
Speaker 4: did Full House.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were that's when we talked to the Full House. Uh,
Speaker 3: to everybody from Full House. They were all younger than
Speaker 3: we thought they were. Yeah, I mean you're talking to
Speaker 3: Jody and everybody there.
Speaker 1: They were kids. They were like kid kids.
Speaker 2: Aby started ye yeah gee and.
Speaker 1: At only six years old.
Speaker 3: Andrew also appeared in almost one hundred episodes of Days
Speaker 3: of Our Lives. We talked to her about that. I
Speaker 3: think she was at Bowen Hope's wedding. Don't get me started.
Speaker 3: And now while we're talking TGIF, Jalil White played Jake,
Speaker 3: the culinary and airline friendly young chef of the house.
Speaker 3: He's another Family TV icon, obviously known as Steve Erkele
Speaker 3: from Family Matters, a character that would later appear on
Speaker 3: Full House. So we get a little early sign of
Speaker 3: the things that are going to come in Hollywood in
Speaker 3: the Leftovers with Jaliel very very young again, this is
Speaker 3: only his fifth job in Hollywood at the time. This
Speaker 3: is nineteen eighty six. And then of course Erkele takes
Speaker 3: over and becomes an absolute household.
Speaker 4: He was just meant to be a character actor. And
Speaker 4: it starts here. There wasn't a whole lot of stuff
Speaker 4: that you could tell was actually given to him with
Speaker 4: this character, but he plays it. He was so animated,
Speaker 4: and I mean he just is just so freaking cute.
Speaker 1: He just lights up the screen.
Speaker 3: One of those kids doesn't matter how old you are,
Speaker 3: that you know what you're born to do, and just
Speaker 3: absolutely lights up the screen. I mean, I know it's
Speaker 3: crazy to kind of equate these, but it's like a
Speaker 3: Shirley Temple where it didn't matter how old they were,
Speaker 3: you just put them on screen and they light up.
Speaker 1: They light up everything.
Speaker 2: You can't take it and easily.
Speaker 1: And a lot of this cast were those young actors.
Speaker 1: They really were.
Speaker 3: Then we've got George Weiner, who plays the evil mister Gladstone,
Speaker 3: the money hungry owner of the orphanage who doesn't believe
Speaker 3: in Max's way of running the business and is looking
Speaker 3: to well sell it all off. Winer is a widely
Speaker 3: recognizable character actor known for Spaceball's Fletch, not another teenage movie.
Speaker 3: He is also one of the many people in this
Speaker 3: movie that was also on Boy Meets World. So there's
Speaker 3: more to come, but he just covered his episode. He's
Speaker 3: been in everything, oh wow. And he was so funny
Speaker 3: in Fletch, but and in Spaceballs. I mean just hysterical.
Speaker 3: The movie runs ninety four minutes. Again, we're so close,
Speaker 3: We're four minutes off from our ninety minute mark that
Speaker 3: we are just trying to hit. Someday, somebody who's gonna
Speaker 3: make it ninety minute movie. It was directed by Paul Schneider,
Speaker 3: a veteran of TV movies and TV shows. His resume
Speaker 3: includes Beverly Hills, nine Ozho two or Zero, Myth Quest,
Speaker 3: and the movie You Lucky Doug. It's written by and
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say this name twice because it's spelled g
Speaker 3: e N, So it's either gen or Jen Leroy, who
Speaker 3: also wrote the Disney movie Rock and Roll Mom, and
Speaker 3: Steve Slapkin, who go on to write another kind of
Speaker 3: Kids Run the Asylum Show Salute Your Shorts. Okay, now
Speaker 3: we need to save The orphanage trope is very classic
Speaker 3: and it's a specific trope that dates all the way
Speaker 3: back to the Three Stooges. Other movies in the genre
Speaker 3: include sisterrac two, Snowball Express, and Jessica Alba's Honey Never
Speaker 3: Saw That. There are other versions of it as well,
Speaker 3: you know, obviously Saving the YMCA or an Old Folks Home. Now,
Speaker 3: there are movies that are super important in my life
Speaker 3: when it comes to stuff such as Break into Electric
Speaker 3: Boogloo where Man they had to go save the rec
Speaker 3: Center hugely great film that was very important to my childhood.
Speaker 3: Or Happy Gilmour uhf another great movie. These are all
Speaker 3: variations of the theme of we've got to save something.
Speaker 3: So what do you think of this premise as a
Speaker 3: start for the film? I mean, just basic but good, right.
Speaker 4: Right, And the way it kind of comes out, I
Speaker 4: felt started to lag a little bit to figure out
Speaker 4: what their actual mission was going to be, right, that
Speaker 4: got a little murky yeah, kind.
Speaker 2: Of bounce back and forth. I was waiting for what's
Speaker 2: the mission? Where are we going?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 4: But but other than that, I mean it it's always fun,
Speaker 4: especially when you have a young cast, to see how
Speaker 4: they're going to figure out, you know.
Speaker 2: I loved that they.
Speaker 4: Had to take bikes in the middle of the night, Yes,
Speaker 4: jumping in someone's car and having someone drive them, that
Speaker 4: kind of stuff. Having kids figure out fun, interesting ways
Speaker 4: to complete the mission is.
Speaker 2: Always always still being kids, Yeah, still being kids.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, they're limited, and so they've got to
Speaker 4: find some fun different ways.
Speaker 3: So so do you think the fact that they're living
Speaker 3: in a giant Victorian style house where every kid gets
Speaker 3: a six hundred square foot loft suite of their own. Yeah,
Speaker 3: maybe if they just downsize to a regular size house,
Speaker 3: could that have solved all the problem?
Speaker 4: Yes, probably, you know, maybe sub let it out, let
Speaker 4: out the upstairs.
Speaker 2: That's a huge it is giant.
Speaker 3: I think what they were kind of this is why
Speaker 3: it's called the leftovers. I think what they're kind of
Speaker 3: trying to insinuate is that it was full of kids.
Speaker 2: Multi Yes, that's how I took it too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they got adopted, and these are the kids
Speaker 3: that didn't get it. DS are the leftovers, which is
Speaker 3: what they're called obviously. But it still seems like, hey,
Speaker 3: mister Gladstone, why don't we sell this multi million dollar
Speaker 3: building and move into a smaller place. Then you get
Speaker 3: what you want, I get what I want. Bob's your uncle,
Speaker 3: we're all good to go. That, of course, did not happen,
Speaker 3: but it seemed like an easy way to save the money,
Speaker 3: right speaking of the evil mister Gladstone, or would have
Speaker 3: gotten away with it wasn't for you meddling kids. Right
Speaker 3: off the bat, we learned that he's visiting the orphanage,
Speaker 3: so he's at the start of the movie.
Speaker 1: He's coming in.
Speaker 3: We learn right away that he's an awful human being
Speaker 3: and all the kids and John Denver Max need to
Speaker 3: be on their best behavior while he's there, and so
Speaker 3: Jesse runs around she warns all the kids in the house.
Speaker 3: Zoe has a very, very weird obsession with brutally operating
Speaker 3: on and kind of ripping apart dolls, which I think
Speaker 3: is one of the triads of sociopathy, if I'm not wrong.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was creepy, but like hilarious I thought.
Speaker 4: I mean, she there's at one point where she doesn't
Speaker 4: she's not using scissors or you know, she's using a
Speaker 4: full blown saw because she saw her doll in half.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know she's giving it CPR.
Speaker 4: She sleeps with the doll because she's had an emergency
Speaker 4: in the middle of the night. I mean, this kid's
Speaker 4: little brain in her imagination is just wild.
Speaker 2: Every kid's gory, but it's just it's so epic.
Speaker 4: You have to think it's pretty adorable, right when they
Speaker 4: go that far.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I would say it's adorable at this age.
Speaker 3: If she's still ripping apart stuff at eleven or twelve,
Speaker 3: it might be time.
Speaker 4: Yes, she seemed they played her very very young, so
Speaker 4: that made it less.
Speaker 1: Creepy in it they did, which is which works perfect.
Speaker 2: It wasn't the kid in toy story.
Speaker 3: Yeah, except so she's got her her doll hospital. And
Speaker 3: then we've got Julia White's Jake, who's a health food
Speaker 3: obsessed culinary expert. Charlie the science and technology inventor who
Speaker 3: uses the addict to work with gravitational fields and meatball launchers.
Speaker 3: Now the actor for this. The second he popped on screen,
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, yes, his name is Jason Presen
Speaker 3: or Pressin. I think it's pressing. He was also in
Speaker 3: the Disney movie The Brat Patrol from nineteen eighty six,
Speaker 3: which was really really good.
Speaker 1: And he was in another huge movie of my childhood.
Speaker 3: He was in The Explorers with Ethan Hawk and River Phoenix,
Speaker 3: which is just and I don't know if you've ever
Speaker 3: seen this movie.
Speaker 1: It is the great movie in the world. This three
Speaker 1: little kids.
Speaker 3: It's Ethan Hawk at like twelve, River Phoenix at like twelve,
Speaker 3: and then this game Jason Presson and they get these
Speaker 3: dreams from they don't know where they're coming from but
Speaker 3: they use the dreams to build a spaceship and fly
Speaker 3: up and to meet this alien. It is the coolest
Speaker 3: movie when you were a little kid. It is just
Speaker 3: the greatest thing ever. So I'm sorry, I could totally
Speaker 3: go off on.
Speaker 1: The Edgeloorers right now.
Speaker 2: We love a science fiction movie.
Speaker 3: It was so incredible. He hasn't been acting steadily since
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety one. His last gig was nineteen ninety seven,
Speaker 3: so it seems like he still lives in la but
Speaker 3: he just left the industry. But he his resume, especially
Speaker 3: for a young actor, was just so cool.
Speaker 1: So the house is supposed to be kind of crazy.
Speaker 4: Pants, Yeah, just lots of different energy. These kids all
Speaker 4: have very big personalities. Ye're very in depth interests, right.
Speaker 4: Their rooms are just filled with so much that they're
Speaker 4: interested in.
Speaker 2: And it's a lot.
Speaker 1: But there's also two dogs, a snake.
Speaker 3: That was so unnecessary, and for some reason I don't understand,
Speaker 3: a goat.
Speaker 1: There's also a goat.
Speaker 2: The goat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just so all the kids weren't enough, you also
Speaker 1: needed a snake and a goat.
Speaker 4: And with the goat came with the farming brothers, right,
Speaker 4: the two yes, what they were twins.
Speaker 3: They were twins, right, I think there were twin little
Speaker 3: kids are farmers that wouldn't eat their goat. They just
Speaker 3: want to keep it away from their little sister who
Speaker 3: might take it apart with herself.
Speaker 1: But anyway, the.
Speaker 3: Kids seem like they're pretty self sufficient, especially with Pam
Speaker 3: Adlon's character almost playing Jesse kind of like.
Speaker 1: A mom older sister role. She's definitely how old do
Speaker 1: you think she was supposed to be?
Speaker 2: I would think she was around thirteen or fourteen.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's what I was going to say.
Speaker 3: She obviously she's on the older side, but doesn't drive,
Speaker 3: so I was thinking like fourteen fifteen, yeah, yeah, which
Speaker 3: again she takes on the kind of family role of
Speaker 3: like I said, older sister kind of mom, until Cindy
Speaker 3: Williams shows up for again a really weird reason that
Speaker 3: I do understand. So yeah, the kids are told to
Speaker 3: be on their best behavior and Max says he's got
Speaker 3: to be on his best behavior as well.
Speaker 1: But then mister Gladstone, mean guy comes in.
Speaker 3: He is shocked by the kids behavior, the state of
Speaker 3: the house over the past six years.
Speaker 1: The kids aren't getting adopted at all.
Speaker 3: These these kids that are left which is again what
Speaker 3: they're called the leftovers, and it's he believes it's because
Speaker 3: that Max Sinclair is too picky as a director of
Speaker 3: this orphanage. So the committee has decided to close down
Speaker 3: the home in only five weeks, and they want to
Speaker 3: use a marketing campaign to.
Speaker 1: Make sure that the remaining children are adopted.
Speaker 3: Adopting a foster child is as easy as buying a donut.
Speaker 1: That is actually the statement that the guy uses.
Speaker 4: This is when I was a yelling at the screen, Yes,
Speaker 4: how are you?
Speaker 2: How do you have this job?
Speaker 4: You are so awful the things you were calling these kids,
Speaker 4: the even idea that you're talking about selling them essentially, yes,
Speaker 4: as doughnuts, you know, I mean it just it was
Speaker 4: so bizarre, and you know, everything that ended up happening
Speaker 4: to him was just I loved because he was just awful, awful,
Speaker 4: horrible man.
Speaker 3: I'd also like to point out here that every time
Speaker 3: he gets into the car when he leaves, he has
Speaker 3: an assistant that's in shadow. Keep that in mind, because
Speaker 3: that's going to come back for something very very cool.
Speaker 3: But this assistant is kind of always in shadow when
Speaker 3: he's there. But so, yeah, they're going to shut down
Speaker 3: the home. The kind of unseid issue in the movie
Speaker 3: is that the parents that we do meet that are
Speaker 3: looking to adopt the children also really nice.
Speaker 2: That's the thing the parents.
Speaker 3: Yes, a couple parents come in at the time, and
Speaker 3: they didn't make them these awful people. They made them like,
Speaker 3: I mean, this one couple that comes in want to
Speaker 3: adopt a young girl because they lost their own child, right,
Speaker 3: I mean, it's like, that's that's heartbreaking and horrible.
Speaker 2: I feel what they put.
Speaker 4: First of all, they acted like these two kids standing
Speaker 4: on a dining room table singing. You know what I
Speaker 4: would have done if I walked in it, I would
Speaker 4: have been like, yes, I will also take those too.
Speaker 4: They are so talented and adorable and entertaining. Let's just
Speaker 4: get let's let's keep this party going. They were so
Speaker 4: cute and they were appalled.
Speaker 2: What's going on?
Speaker 4: I mean when she comes in in her witch costume,
Speaker 4: the little guy in the snorkel alpha.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that kind of was weird. But they were just
Speaker 2: kids being kids too.
Speaker 3: Hey, that's the thing. They're just they're yelling, they're dressed
Speaker 3: in costume, they're singing, but this nice. They make them
Speaker 3: the villains of the movie. This nice couple that have
Speaker 3: lost their child and trying to adopt a little girl.
Speaker 1: It's so strange.
Speaker 3: By the way, Uh, the woman, I don't know who
Speaker 3: the man was, but the woman played a reoccurring nurse
Speaker 3: on Mas should of course, I've got to give a
Speaker 3: mash shout out. She played Nurse Bigelow, Nurse Bigelow in many,
Speaker 3: many episodes, thank you very much. But it was so
Speaker 3: strange that you figure they would have made them awful
Speaker 3: or I want these kids to work. I mean, if
Speaker 3: they're going Disney with it, I want these kids to
Speaker 3: work in my factory or somebody, right, But no, there's.
Speaker 1: This nice, loving couple that wanted to finally got their
Speaker 1: hearts open the adopting a child.
Speaker 2: And yeah, I find out it was a little okay.
Speaker 3: It was Yeah, that one was a little like okay,
Speaker 3: So is there a reason Do we ever get into
Speaker 3: why John Denver just doesn't adopt all the kids himself
Speaker 3: and move into another smaller house.
Speaker 1: They never really addressed.
Speaker 2: That, do they They don't.
Speaker 4: I think it was yeah, I think it was assumed
Speaker 4: that it was he did not have the money to
Speaker 4: take over.
Speaker 2: You know, obviously he couldn't.
Speaker 1: Guess it's mentioned.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's mentioned in the end a little little bit,
Speaker 3: and it's by that point it's too late, so it's.
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, it was, it was mentioned. I guess that
Speaker 4: it was. You know, it's the lawyer. I think when
Speaker 4: he's saying and he has the best list of stuff,
Speaker 4: it's like, you know, Max, they kids need socks, they
Speaker 4: need they need He says, socks is like one of
Speaker 4: the first things they need. Orthodonis, they need moose.
Speaker 2: Yes, that is the worst part about the kid.
Speaker 4: Being a parent myself, the thing, I am just really
Speaker 4: nervous about the day that Ledger needs moose for his hand.
Speaker 1: Well, that's the problem. That's one of the its Like,
Speaker 1: no joke.
Speaker 3: It's probably the main reason I never had children is
Speaker 3: because I knew they needed moose and socks.
Speaker 1: I was like, what am I me?
Speaker 2: Orthodonist? You know, they embraced it. They need to go
Speaker 2: to college.
Speaker 4: Those kinds of bills. I totally understand now with socks
Speaker 4: and moose.
Speaker 1: It's moose and socks.
Speaker 4: My dog stuff is the same price as any of
Speaker 4: that stuff. You know, come on, give me a break.
Speaker 4: This wrist was pretty funny, but yes, that's what he
Speaker 4: was saying. You don't have the money to do this
Speaker 4: and I both know it. So that's I guess the
Speaker 4: biggest reason.
Speaker 3: Okay, well yeah, I mean it's if you can't afford
Speaker 3: moose and socks, forget the orthodontia.
Speaker 1: So we finally then that the reason I.
Speaker 3: Brought it up, because this is where I'm starting the
Speaker 3: Boy Means World thing is we finally get to see
Speaker 3: who his assistant in shadow is, and it's Willie Garson,
Speaker 3: who did many episodes of Boy Means World. God rest him.
Speaker 3: He was such a wonderful god Sex and the City
Speaker 3: and everything else. But he's best known as Stanford on
Speaker 3: Sex and the City.
Speaker 2: Wait, the young guy in the car.
Speaker 4: Yes, no, yes, I sat next to him at a
Speaker 4: Laker game one time.
Speaker 3: He's that was the greatest guy in the world. He
Speaker 3: married Corey and Tipanga. He was did three episodes of
Speaker 3: the show. He was on the set all the time.
Speaker 3: He was a good friend of Michael Jacobs, who created
Speaker 3: the show.
Speaker 2: Didn't even have a line in the movie.
Speaker 1: Maybe it got yeah, but that was willing will And
Speaker 1: if that wasn't cool enough too.
Speaker 3: At the end, when they're now watching the news in
Speaker 3: the garage, is the garage. The guy who runs the
Speaker 3: garage is comedian Domirera, who was just on Podmeets World.
Speaker 1: Because he was also on boy Me Throll. He played
Speaker 1: a great So we just had all these boy Me
Speaker 1: throw people on it.
Speaker 3: I'm wow, Producer Jensen going, that was a young dom Irera.
Speaker 1: So everybody's there. It's great. So yes, we got miss
Speaker 1: Willy all the time.
Speaker 3: And every time I get to see him, I just
Speaker 3: I'm simultaneously so happy and so sad, but it's it
Speaker 3: was wonderful to see him. Great actor, phenomenal and a
Speaker 3: and a great guy too. So he finally reveals to
Speaker 3: Willie Carson's character essentially mister mister bad guy, I need
Speaker 3: the money. I don't care what happens to the kids
Speaker 3: at all. I just want the land. And that's when
Speaker 3: you know we got we got a real battye here.
Speaker 3: This is this is not good, is it?
Speaker 1: So John Denver?
Speaker 3: Of course, then to the rescue. I've got to go
Speaker 3: get I've got to go get money. So he gets
Speaker 3: into the weirdest mode of transportation it's possibly ever put
Speaker 3: on phone.
Speaker 2: Do you equivalentate that van with.
Speaker 1: That goes through his van? Can you walk us through
Speaker 1: his van a little bit.
Speaker 4: It was I mean going back even a longer generation
Speaker 4: farther in front of my time, but it looked like
Speaker 4: a seventies van that was spray painted.
Speaker 2: My guess is.
Speaker 1: Maybe the kids he let the kids painted, is that
Speaker 1: what they were going for?
Speaker 2: Smoked constantly.
Speaker 4: It looked like they had a hard time opening and
Speaker 4: shutting the doors.
Speaker 2: This car.
Speaker 4: You needed to jiggle the ignition key. I mean, this
Speaker 4: thing was a pos. It was not a great car
Speaker 4: to be safely driving.
Speaker 2: Twelve kids in and two dogs.
Speaker 1: They don't bring the do they bring the dog?
Speaker 2: Brought the goat, but for some reason he brings the dogs.
Speaker 2: When he's getting a loan. It just it was then.
Speaker 3: We please talk about this is the holes in the
Speaker 3: plot for yeah, the ridiculousness of the loan scenes. Because yes,
Speaker 3: so he goes to the bank like a loan, like
Speaker 3: a not even a bank, it's like all cash app
Speaker 3: loan kind of place without an app because it's nineteen
Speaker 3: eighty six. But like he's trying to get them at
Speaker 3: the local bank. They give him stuff to fill out
Speaker 3: to get.
Speaker 2: The loan, and he's instantly hungry.
Speaker 1: He's instantly hungry for lunch. It's lunch.
Speaker 3: He knows he's got to sit there, and so his
Speaker 3: foster daughter whatever, Jesse says, I made you a peanut
Speaker 3: butter sandwich.
Speaker 1: Very sweet.
Speaker 3: He opens it up and he pulls it out, and
Speaker 3: it's not a peanut butter sandwich.
Speaker 1: It's one of the doll's brains. But for some reason it's.
Speaker 2: Wet and giant. A giant brain for a doll, I felt.
Speaker 1: But also who puts in?
Speaker 5: What kind of doll had an anatomically correct and wet brain?
Speaker 2: Not none. Those dolls heads are filled with cotton like
Speaker 2: they're not.
Speaker 4: They don't ever have brains. There's no reason for them
Speaker 4: to have them.
Speaker 1: So was it supposed to be a prank?
Speaker 2: You think, like, yes, They talk about it a little
Speaker 2: bit later.
Speaker 4: They refer to it, oh Jesse peanut butter jelly, because
Speaker 4: she does it again when he goes back out, he said,
Speaker 4: They go like, as if this is like kind of
Speaker 4: one of Jesse's things.
Speaker 2: She sort of does pranks, is what I.
Speaker 3: Oh, I thought, she I thought when they said it again,
Speaker 3: it was her going like, I made sure it's actually
Speaker 3: a sandwich this time.
Speaker 1: Because he takes the bag again. It doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 2: No, and he doesn't even check it.
Speaker 4: I would have been like, mm hmm, okay, fine, all right,
Speaker 4: thank you for the brain.
Speaker 1: It falls on the Yanks. The brain falls on the
Speaker 1: ground in.
Speaker 2: The bank, and everyone's horrified, horrified.
Speaker 1: Freaks out.
Speaker 3: He then steps on it or people he's trying to
Speaker 3: find on the ground. So security comes.
Speaker 4: And now he's a psych path who needs to be
Speaker 4: escorted out.
Speaker 3: Of the bank loan center place. Yeah, by the security guard.
Speaker 2: Yes, And he gets thrown out.
Speaker 3: It's literally physically thrown out because of weird anatomically correct
Speaker 3: doll brain.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: He then tries to go back with a bad mustache
Speaker 3: on and is actually arrested.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for no reason because he went to go get
Speaker 4: water and his mustache.
Speaker 1: Fell off, and then security guard recognized him.
Speaker 2: And then took him out, but then.
Speaker 1: Had him actually arrested. The next scene is his lawyer
Speaker 1: friend about a git. It's like, what was he arrested for?
Speaker 1: I got? I did not get I paused. I was like,
Speaker 1: what am I missing?
Speaker 4: My goodness, the amount of times I could have got
Speaker 4: arrested for some random stuff? Right?
Speaker 1: How many times have you stepped on an anatomically correct dog?
Speaker 4: One?
Speaker 2: Thank god? None but I've I have definitely been where
Speaker 2: my purse balls apart. My stuff lies everywhere, and I'm
Speaker 2: like a.
Speaker 4: Nuisance to the whole room because my lip glosses over there,
Speaker 4: my bones over there.
Speaker 2: I mean, is that all it.
Speaker 4: Took back in the eighties to get arrested?
Speaker 1: Eighties? Serious? And in all fairness, though, I've seen your
Speaker 1: fake mustache. It's awesome.
Speaker 3: So yours looks way better than John Denver's did. And
Speaker 3: I didn't even remember that whole time. I had that
Speaker 3: whole conversation with you.
Speaker 1: No idea, but very very strange.
Speaker 3: So then he's put in jail for no reason, for
Speaker 3: no reason, and the kids, as they're waiting for him
Speaker 3: to come back, I think from lone app attempt number two,
Speaker 3: they see a woman walking up for no reason who
Speaker 3: then is smelling flowers and is attacked by a bee,
Speaker 3: a bee which is never mentioned again or brought up
Speaker 3: in any way, shape or form. She's then just in house.
Speaker 3: Her name is Heather. She finds her way with her
Speaker 3: new baby Katie.
Speaker 4: And okay, wait, I don't I won't cover it in
Speaker 4: Sabranci's there's too many, So we've got to talk about
Speaker 4: this basket that the baby's revealed.
Speaker 2: In she's walking upstairs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, with her suitcase and a weirdly weird I mean
Speaker 4: maybe this was a basket of the eighties.
Speaker 2: Again, I wouldn't know about it.
Speaker 1: Eighties basket who knows.
Speaker 2: It's a very strange shape.
Speaker 4: It looks almost similar to like a longer version of
Speaker 4: what Bell uses while she's in the little town singing,
Speaker 4: and you know, and it's.
Speaker 2: Like, what's in there? What's in there?
Speaker 4: Oh, you're walking around with your child in a in
Speaker 4: a basket?
Speaker 2: Okay, not buckled it.
Speaker 3: You've never heard about eighties basket babies very very very popular,
Speaker 3: very much.
Speaker 2: Are you mean serious?
Speaker 4: Of course?
Speaker 1: What is an eighties basket baby? Wow? You sorious.
Speaker 4: Y'all were crazy and I don't know you got rocket
Speaker 4: launchers for your newspapers.
Speaker 3: Well, the cool thing was the combination of the two.
Speaker 3: We would launch the babies from the front of the bike.
Speaker 2: I've never even seen or heard of someone literally walking.
Speaker 4: Around their child in a basket, not a bassinet, a
Speaker 4: basket of woven little wooden basket thing.
Speaker 2: It was so strange.
Speaker 1: But the kids, the kids first think she's a parent
Speaker 1: trying to adopt them, so they go off on their
Speaker 1: their whole plan being with the plan B, which is
Speaker 1: dressing up in you know, different outfits and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: and then they're like, wait, that.
Speaker 2: Was a tomato plant comedy that was so funny.
Speaker 1: Has a tomato plant.
Speaker 4: It's pretty funny committed to but then they realized that
Speaker 4: she's not there to adopt them.
Speaker 1: She's there to get a job. She's was also an
Speaker 1: orphan growing.
Speaker 4: Up and now is her husband has passed away, she
Speaker 4: now has a young baby to.
Speaker 1: Raise and what was it?
Speaker 3: She saw an old ad for help on like the
Speaker 3: grocery store. They had to explain it because otherwise she
Speaker 3: just shows up at this house and is like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, live here.
Speaker 4: Now he's not Max is not waiting for her. She
Speaker 4: never contacted him. She just literally shows up at this
Speaker 4: house and she and it's briefly talked about. It's pretty
Speaker 4: much one sentence of the movie where she saw this
Speaker 4: ad and just poof made sense on my way.
Speaker 1: And then she's part of their life. That was it.
Speaker 1: It was like they have one small discussion about it.
Speaker 4: Questioned it, yeah, nope, Max questioned it for all of
Speaker 4: twenty seconds.
Speaker 1: Hey, who's this lady with this baby? No background checks.
Speaker 4: Mind you, who's this stranger, this older woman that just
Speaker 4: could never happen in a movie nowadays because stranger danger
Speaker 4: is just too too crazy.
Speaker 3: It was the eighties, no helmets, no background checks, Yes
Speaker 3: it was. So she's just now part of the house.
Speaker 3: She she is now, she's great with the ca she
Speaker 3: does chores. She's like, I will make myself useful.
Speaker 4: Yes, they did say they had a housekeeper of some
Speaker 4: sort that had left or passed away something like that,
Speaker 4: something like that. So she was filling in this spot
Speaker 4: that they needed and didn't need money for it, just
Speaker 4: a place to stay.
Speaker 2: I guess that is what it was.
Speaker 1: So she's now just part of the family.
Speaker 3: And when anytime a possible adopting family calls, we actually
Speaker 3: get to see a little bit of Pam's amazing voiceover
Speaker 3: work already back in the day, picking up the phone,
Speaker 3: changing her voices doing it.
Speaker 4: Yes, she did a great job that. When now that
Speaker 4: I know she was a voice actor, it's like, yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh no, she she kills shells.
Speaker 2: She had a wide range, even a young.
Speaker 3: Young aga, oh yeah she would. Everybody knew what she
Speaker 3: was going to be doing. And so when the family
Speaker 3: does actually visit Uh to come and get Zoe. They're
Speaker 3: looking for a little girl because again this is the
Speaker 3: nice couple who have lost a child and are looking
Speaker 3: to give another child a beautiful, wonderful home.
Speaker 1: So of course the villains.
Speaker 3: They get they walk into what you were talking about,
Speaker 3: Juliel and one of the farming kids doing a pretty
Speaker 3: incredible song on the team.
Speaker 4: Yes, fully decked out costumed electric guitars.
Speaker 1: Just j could play too. He was doing yes, And you.
Speaker 4: Know he did do a little bit of singing and
Speaker 4: stuff within his career.
Speaker 1: Oh that makes sense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you know he was a performer for sure.
Speaker 4: And so I thought they were great.
Speaker 1: They were great.
Speaker 3: They they were punk and some of the lyrics they're
Speaker 3: singing are like punk punk, shredding rock and one of
Speaker 3: them is you try and make us go to bed,
Speaker 3: will kick, scream and bite.
Speaker 1: So yeah, they're trying to make it like we're going
Speaker 1: to be the worst people. Anyway.
Speaker 3: They hide Zoe because they don't want her to be
Speaker 3: taken away, and they are trying to get the couple
Speaker 3: to leave. The couple's like, we're not leaving. We're gonna
Speaker 3: go talk to mister Gladstone. We want to talk to
Speaker 3: the kid. They're like, there's no no girl here. We're like, yeah,
Speaker 3: we know there's a girl here. Please, we've lost our child.
Speaker 3: Let us at least see a child.
Speaker 1: Horrible. Uh So they're going to talk to mister Gladstone.
Speaker 4: That's when the mom, the the woman started getting a
Speaker 4: little like, well, I'm going to talk to mister Gladstone.
Speaker 3: Well I would be too, like I drove all the
Speaker 3: way here to see a little kid, But give me,
Speaker 3: where's the kid?
Speaker 1: I want? When we're supposed to adopt. We're trying to
Speaker 1: give this kid a home.
Speaker 3: But if there's an actual villain in this movie, not
Speaker 3: just mister Gladstone, but John Denver eventually runs up the
Speaker 3: old van again and goes to see his aunt Winifred Oh,
Speaker 3: who is uber wealthy, has had the same butler forever
Speaker 3: who helped to raise Max. So they have a kind
Speaker 3: of a wonderful relationship. But she's one step away from
Speaker 3: using baby skin to make a coat. I mean, it's like,
Speaker 3: how bad, how awful was was this woman?
Speaker 4: Yes, she's she's crazy and mean, and it's it's interesting
Speaker 4: to know that he was raised by her when she
Speaker 4: doesn't seem motherly in any sense.
Speaker 3: No, well, I think it's the butler that really raised him,
Speaker 3: that's what they.
Speaker 4: One of the funniest parts of the move happens towards
Speaker 4: the end of it, after she denies him of any money.
Speaker 4: I'm not helping you. You shouldn't be doing this. I
Speaker 4: don't like children. You shouldn't.
Speaker 2: I have told you that.
Speaker 4: She said that he's been doing it for six or
Speaker 4: seven years, and just it's a waste of time, waste
Speaker 4: of money.
Speaker 2: You know, she's just very disappointed.
Speaker 4: I'm assuming she wanted him to get into whatever kind
Speaker 4: of business her family could have offered.
Speaker 1: Money business, whatever money business.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's heading out with the butler, and the butler
Speaker 4: goes to get his coat, like slammed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna need this as our social clip because
Speaker 3: he gets wrestled by this this entire flock.
Speaker 2: He just takes him out, and it was so good, right.
Speaker 1: Off his feet.
Speaker 4: It was so good. I had to watch it a
Speaker 4: couple of times. You know, that is my thing. I
Speaker 4: love seeing people just get wiped out and then so
Speaker 4: much the wear him and Max forget that he doesn't
Speaker 4: need his coat.
Speaker 1: It's so fun.
Speaker 2: It was in one of my Subrita Seas. But it's
Speaker 2: just too good to not say it right from here.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 1: It was so good, it was great.
Speaker 2: And he didn't even get ended up. He didn't even
Speaker 2: get a coat for him.
Speaker 1: He just took him out. He's like, we're good, we're fine.
Speaker 2: You look like you're busy. I'll come get it later.
Speaker 1: I'll be okay, I'll be okay.
Speaker 3: Do you think this movie missed the bar at all
Speaker 3: by not having John Denver sing a single song?
Speaker 2: You know how I feel about that.
Speaker 4: You cannot have a vocal artist who is famous for it, right,
Speaker 4: not just oh.
Speaker 2: I mean, how many actors in la are.
Speaker 1: You know can also sing?
Speaker 4: So it's not that, but somebody who's known, especially on
Speaker 4: this level. I don't know where it would have been,
Speaker 4: to be honest, in the movie, there really wasn't a
Speaker 4: place that was set up for anything like that.
Speaker 3: You have to add a scene where he grabs a
Speaker 3: guitar and he's playing a song to all the kids
Speaker 3: sitting around watching.
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you not add that scene?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I guess I just don't know where it would have been.
Speaker 4: There was a lot of chaos constantly.
Speaker 3: Maybe take out the second loan scene with the with
Speaker 3: the fake mustache and put in John denversing.
Speaker 1: That could have worked.
Speaker 4: It could have been part of her falling in love
Speaker 4: with him, because that was really touch. Does that you know,
Speaker 4: like that's a thing they do at night once the
Speaker 4: kids are settled down.
Speaker 1: Great idea something like that, Yeah, great idea.
Speaker 3: Yeah, John Denver singing to send you what come on?
Speaker 3: That's perfect. So while Max fails at getting the loan
Speaker 3: and is actually thrown in jail for it, Zoe ends
Speaker 3: up getting adopted after all. Heather, who's Cindy Williams character,
Speaker 3: she starts weirdly digging deep into She doesn't trust this
Speaker 3: Gladstone character, obviously, and so she starts breaking into his
Speaker 3: office and trying to sneak past his secretary to find
Speaker 3: out what the plan is. And she finds it. Oh
Speaker 3: my god, he's going to sell the land. He doesn't
Speaker 3: care about the kids at all.
Speaker 1: This is horrible.
Speaker 3: Yes, Andrea has a heartbreaking scene when she leaves, and
Speaker 3: it made me wonder And I can't wait because I
Speaker 3: get to say this now.
Speaker 1: We get to ask her on our Parkopper.
Speaker 3: Episode because we are interviewing Andrew Barber, but we get
Speaker 3: to ask her how she felt about John Denver, because
Speaker 3: it seemed, I mean, all the acting was great, but
Speaker 3: they all seem to genuinely really like this guy. Yes,
Speaker 3: so I'm hoping she remembers what that's like, because I
Speaker 3: can't wait to hear how that relationship affected the acting,
Speaker 3: because again, she was great, and he really did seem
Speaker 3: to care about all the kids, and they really seem
Speaker 3: to care about him. So I can't wait to talk
Speaker 3: to her because I want to know what it was
Speaker 3: like working with John Denver.
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean John Denver exactly, very cool.
Speaker 1: Zoe leaves.
Speaker 3: She was adopted by a wonderful, caring family, so of
Speaker 3: course let's go get her back. They sneak out under
Speaker 3: the cover of darkness, They get on their bikes, and
Speaker 3: they then find out where her home is, her new home,
Speaker 3: and then they pretend to be capped, and so the nighbor.
Speaker 3: So then the nice family, the husband and wife, who
Speaker 3: are probably ecstatic that they finally have somebody in their
Speaker 3: old daughter's room who was again passed away, start treating
Speaker 3: them like cats and throwing the I'll do this, and
Speaker 3: they throw a boot at one of the kids.
Speaker 1: They splash water on them.
Speaker 2: Water say they're gonna call out the dogs.
Speaker 1: And yes, and then the two little tiny dogs run out.
Speaker 2: Don't forget. They use the newspaper slingshot.
Speaker 1: They ask the cannon to shoot a grappling hook.
Speaker 2: Of nails it on the first try.
Speaker 3: Well, the grappling hooks in the eighties were really well
Speaker 3: made and are grappling hook launching machines, which everyone happened.
Speaker 4: Liil obviously has some rope climbing mountain climbing experience. He
Speaker 4: goes right in, whoop, He goes right to the wall
Speaker 4: and then struggles getting up it, which was funny.
Speaker 1: Very funny. They get up there, Zoe's gone, She's already left.
Speaker 2: He goes directly to that room.
Speaker 3: Well because they say they they knowed what room she's in,
Speaker 3: because the family that they have, the parents look over, like, no,
Speaker 3: her light's already off, so she's asleep.
Speaker 1: So they're like, Okay, at least we know where she is. Right.
Speaker 1: So they a lot of breaking and entrying, a lot
Speaker 1: of b and in this movie.
Speaker 3: So they break they break in again, and she has
Speaker 3: left a very badly spelled note and there's an emphasis
Speaker 3: yes I said that right on how bad her spelling
Speaker 3: is that's never really paid off.
Speaker 1: They mentioned it twice, and it also kind of is.
Speaker 2: Pretty fisted about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it also leads to hey, maybe this new
Speaker 3: family would have taught her how to spell. So they
Speaker 3: finally they find her by singing all the family when
Speaker 3: they were driving together. And this is one time you
Speaker 3: did get to see John Denver sing, but it was
Speaker 3: with everybody was oh my darling Clement time very briefly.
Speaker 3: So they all start singing that as a like a
Speaker 3: yelling out of her name. They sing the song. They
Speaker 3: find her. She's in a playground. Oh thank god, we
Speaker 3: can bring her home. And they bring her home, and
Speaker 3: now it's morning. The kids were out all freaking night.
Speaker 3: That was the thing that amazed me. I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: this was not an hour long excursion. They've been out
Speaker 3: for like nine hours and nobody's noticed these kids are gone.
Speaker 1: Maybe John Denver isn't the person to be raising them.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm gonna say it.
Speaker 2: Well, and heather sneaks out too, for Bna for breaking
Speaker 2: an entry.
Speaker 4: Yes, where is your baby? Who is watching your baby? Well,
Speaker 4: you speak out?
Speaker 2: Who's watching it?
Speaker 6: Max?
Speaker 2: Isn't no that you leave the house. You haven't told him,
Speaker 2: because you're sneaking out.
Speaker 1: I was watching her baby.
Speaker 2: Who's watching your kid?
Speaker 3: Oh' that's very interesting. I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 3: Heather though, after again some light be any of her own,
Speaker 3: gets the documents that she needs to prove two Max
Speaker 3: that Gladstone has been cooking the books yea to make
Speaker 3: the home look like it's losing a ton of money.
Speaker 3: And actually they've been working for a real estate agent
Speaker 3: for the property. And the client that wants them out
Speaker 3: is the awful Aunt. It's Winifred good twist. I did
Speaker 3: not see that filming.
Speaker 2: I didn't either. I really didn't either.
Speaker 1: She's the bad guy all along.
Speaker 4: There also finds that she's got a great talent for
Speaker 4: unlocking locks.
Speaker 2: She's a locksmith.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in the next life, or was in her previous
Speaker 4: because her talent for just pop.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm in, I'm in. She's pretty impressive. But it
Speaker 1: is a Scooby Doo moment.
Speaker 3: It is a total Scooby Doo moment when they pull
Speaker 3: off the But you know, Winnifred I would have gotten
Speaker 3: away with it. So yeah, so we're at the deadline now,
Speaker 3: they're still going to lose the house. At this point,
Speaker 3: We're at the deadline and Gladstone is sending the kids
Speaker 3: cross country and even has Max arrested again for something
Speaker 3: now more important than bothering the loan office, which is
Speaker 3: very strange. Aunt Winnifred is ready to pounce and everyone
Speaker 3: is packing to make a mad dash. Even his aunt's
Speaker 3: lifelong assistant is going to be joining Max. He'd rather
Speaker 3: be with Max and with Winnifred. His dad figure. Max's
Speaker 3: dad figure is coming with them as well. The family's complete.
Speaker 3: But in one last interesting hail Mary attempt, the lawyer
Speaker 3: suggests that if they call the news and Charlie the
Speaker 3: kid who's also an inventor, shows his anti gravity hat
Speaker 3: on the news, right, that'll save the home.
Speaker 4: Yes, But the crazier part is how they get them
Speaker 4: on it, Like, how where the connection that he has
Speaker 4: with this news So it's it's his Yes, it's his friend,
Speaker 4: not so much when we meet the friend and he
Speaker 4: went to Camp Sakawaukee, they were the two Dans. And
Speaker 4: then finally the anchor recognizes him because he the lawyer
Speaker 4: Dan was the Dan that had severe.
Speaker 1: Poison ie ivy.
Speaker 2: That's how he got these kids on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the news anchor even goes, oh, you you
Speaker 3: survived that, like he thought he died at the camp
Speaker 3: from the poison ivy. But for some reason, this gets
Speaker 3: the local news to come by to pre empt another story.
Speaker 3: By the way, yes, to show the anti gravity machine
Speaker 3: on news. And so that's really just a cruise. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it wasn't great, but it was just a ruise to
Speaker 3: then say, hey, yes, while I have invented an anti
Speaker 3: gravity machine, kind of an important deal. Really, what's what's
Speaker 3: worse is that we're losing the house because this guy
Speaker 3: is breaking the law. So it's like they've exposed him
Speaker 3: on the local news. It was a very kind of
Speaker 3: this is why I said I need to rewrite very
Speaker 3: kind of convoluted, weird ending to this to the story.
Speaker 4: Right, So yeah, there is one part.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you noticed it. I don't. I
Speaker 2: have too many Serbia seas and I can't miss that.
Speaker 4: The Max as he's Max As he's watching the TV
Speaker 4: because he's our in the gage in the garage, trying
Speaker 4: to figure out how to with the yes and get
Speaker 4: this pos van to take him back home.
Speaker 2: Right, he's still there, he finds he sees it.
Speaker 4: The butler's watching the TV. He notices what's going on
Speaker 4: and he says, oh my God. But they totally not
Speaker 4: even try.
Speaker 2: To make it look voice over it, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: And I went gosh.
Speaker 2: It just made me think from what we saw in
Speaker 2: prom Pact twenty three to nineteen eighty.
Speaker 4: Six, you can't say stopped over God and had to
Speaker 4: put gosh in.
Speaker 2: That was a huge, huge distance from it.
Speaker 1: They used to do that all the time.
Speaker 3: I remember one of my favorite ones ever was I
Speaker 3: was watching The Breakfast Club on regular television as a
Speaker 3: kid and John Bender has a line where he says,
Speaker 3: eat my yours, and they dub it to where I
Speaker 3: was watching it, and this is this is not a joke,
Speaker 3: this is how it sounded. He went eat my socks
Speaker 3: and it was somebody just it was a different voice entirely.
Speaker 3: It was the wrong pitch and it was just somebody
Speaker 3: going socks right over.
Speaker 1: It was the greatest thing. So they did that stuff
Speaker 1: all the time.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, so you're right, it was gosh, God, but
Speaker 3: they're watching he gets the motorcycle, they go home, Hey,
Speaker 3: you did it.
Speaker 2: Motorcycle saved it. So funny.
Speaker 3: You were now all a family and this Cindy Williams
Speaker 3: they kiss out of nowhere.
Speaker 4: Out of nowhere, I mean you saw the Like I said,
Speaker 4: there could have been one more little tiny.
Speaker 2: Scene that, yeah, built their relationship up a little bit more.
Speaker 2: But this kiss comes out of.
Speaker 3: Nowhere and he's like and she's like, I'm sorry, I
Speaker 3: shouldn't have done that. He's like, no, I'm I'm on.
Speaker 3: I'm on a rocky mountain, high lady. So that's it.
Speaker 1: But did the end work for you? It's seemed very
Speaker 1: wrapped up very quickly.
Speaker 2: For me, it did, it wrapped up really quick.
Speaker 4: I didn't feel like I understood really what ended up
Speaker 4: happening with the buying of the house.
Speaker 2: Is the house okay?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: What happened with the ant? None of that?
Speaker 1: No, no, no.
Speaker 4: I also thought the cake cutter was so obvious. I
Speaker 4: felt it coming when he was asking about it.
Speaker 1: I knew.
Speaker 3: I thought it was going to throw on everybody else.
Speaker 3: I thought everyone was going to get covered in cake.
Speaker 2: I thought the way he reacted seemed very real.
Speaker 4: The way maybe yeah, he didn't either he didn't know
Speaker 4: or it wasn't It wasn't practiced, you know, they just
Speaker 4: went for like the rehearsal.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was very all right, okay, I mean.
Speaker 1: And then literally movie over, Yeah, which I was.
Speaker 2: I was kind of ready to be I was.
Speaker 1: I was too at that point.
Speaker 3: Again, I loved watching the kids so very funny story,
Speaker 3: needed to rewrite.
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's do our real reviews.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll take the one star this time. And this
Speaker 3: is from It's Either Nita or Nida B and it's
Speaker 3: I watched it because it starred John Denver. It's not
Speaker 3: one of his better films. It's okay, more of what
Speaker 3: they used to call bubble gum. I think that's accurate.
Speaker 3: If I'm at one star, I think is a bit harsh,
Speaker 3: but yeah, bubblegum is accurate.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, this five star by Susan H. John Denver,
Speaker 4: Children and Animals? How could you possibly lose? Great movie
Speaker 4: for the entire family. Didn't even know it existed until
Speaker 4: I typed John Denver into the search bar.
Speaker 2: All right, yep, I am currently.
Speaker 4: Looking for a movie which John Denver acted in called Savant.
Speaker 4: All right, this is the best part of this one.
Speaker 4: It is also I love Amazon, the products, the service,
Speaker 4: the promptness of the whatever need and not be surpass
Speaker 4: It's such.
Speaker 1: A weird way to jump.
Speaker 3: It's like I'm trying to watch John Denver movie and
Speaker 3: I love Burger King. It's like you, what's happening here,
Speaker 3: Susan h We've been playing some wonderful games.
Speaker 1: I love that, And we've got another one that's a
Speaker 1: lot of fun.
Speaker 3: This week it's gonna be a king that's called leftover
Speaker 3: or left under, and we'll be given again we do
Speaker 3: not know. We will be given a trivia question and
Speaker 3: we have to decide whether the real answer is higher
Speaker 3: than or lower than the number that we have here.
Speaker 3: So for an example, like how many hosts are on
Speaker 3: Magical rewind is it higher or lower than one?
Speaker 1: It's higher? Okay, great, So we got know we do
Speaker 1: not know these We are usually not very good at
Speaker 1: this stuff. So here we go.
Speaker 3: First, Like we told you, Julia White would later become
Speaker 3: the iconic character Steve Erkle on the show Family Matters,
Speaker 3: but it wasn't always guaranteed he break out as a star.
Speaker 3: How many episodes of Family Matters was he originally booked
Speaker 3: to a piece higher or lower than two?
Speaker 2: Oh? Oh man, I'm going to go with higher.
Speaker 1: See I'm going to go with lower.
Speaker 3: I think he was supposed to be a one off Oh,
Speaker 3: I think I think he was supposed to come in right,
Speaker 3: but he wasn't supposed to be so I think maybe
Speaker 3: they brought him on.
Speaker 1: It's one thing.
Speaker 3: It's either a four episode arc or it's a one off.
Speaker 3: I'm going to say lower, you're going to say higher.
Speaker 2: Let's higher.
Speaker 6: It's a one off. It's lower.
Speaker 1: It was it wasn't on.
Speaker 3: It's what I figured. He was only supposed to be on.
Speaker 3: All right, one for me, I actually got one. Here's
Speaker 3: a second question. John Denver is one of the biggest
Speaker 3: musicians of all times. So with this in mind, how
Speaker 3: many number one songs did he have in his career?
Speaker 3: Is it higher or lower than five?
Speaker 7: Oh, that's a tough one. Five more than five number
Speaker 7: one songs? Number one, number one. I'm gonna say hi.
Speaker 1: I'm going to say lower again.
Speaker 6: It's lower.
Speaker 1: It's four four.
Speaker 6: The songs are sunshining on my shoulders. Any song Thank God,
Speaker 6: I'm a country Boy and I'm Sorry, which means leaving
Speaker 6: on a jet plane not a number one.
Speaker 1: Wait so wait, so Rocky Mountain High wasn't a number one.
Speaker 6: No, not a number one.
Speaker 4: Take Me Take Me a Country Road wasn't a number
Speaker 4: one Country Road.
Speaker 6: That wasn't number one, No Sunshine my Shoulders any song.
Speaker 6: Thank God, I'm a country boy and I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's amazing because I hadn't heard of three of those. Okay,
Speaker 3: So Cindy Williams stars and leftovers, but it is best
Speaker 3: known for her time on Laverne and surely widely known
Speaker 3: as a set with some serious issues. If you ever
Speaker 3: want to read about Laverne and Suirly, it is a
Speaker 3: trip to read how this show was made.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Oh, they used to literally, she and Penny Marshall would
Speaker 1: go into different dressing rooms and count their number of
Speaker 1: lines and wouldn't come out of the dressing room if
Speaker 1: one of them had more lines than the other. So
Speaker 1: they had to write the script where they had an
Speaker 1: equal number of lines. Very nutty set to beyond.
Speaker 3: But how many years after Lavernon Shirley was canceled did
Speaker 3: it take to get Cindy and Penny Marshall to appear
Speaker 3: on camera together again? Over or under twelve? It's gotta
Speaker 3: be over twelve, gotta be. I don't think it's for years,
Speaker 3: for like decades, I don't think they did.
Speaker 2: I guess I'll stay hired too.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say higher, and I'm guessing, waiting for keeping.
Speaker 1: You'll get one right.
Speaker 3: Eventually before our producer jumps on, I'm gonna guess it's
Speaker 3: a lot higher.
Speaker 1: But let's see if that's right. Okay, go ahead, it's
Speaker 1: thirty years.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 6: They showed up on Nickelodeon's Salmon Cat as feuding co
Speaker 6: creators of a seventy sitcom called Salmon Cat Brilliant Brilliant.
Speaker 1: Both women pass away at the age of seventy five.
Speaker 1: Too very strange.
Speaker 2: The anxiety to hold a grudge for thirty years.
Speaker 1: Oh, I couldn't even imagine.
Speaker 2: Unreal. I can't do that.
Speaker 6: I'm planning on doing it with one of you.
Speaker 3: Two.
Speaker 6: I don't know which want you.
Speaker 1: That's fair, that's fair.
Speaker 4: It's really gonna be me because you always want me
Speaker 4: to lose on these games, all right.
Speaker 3: I think I'm four to four at this point, by
Speaker 3: the way, you are, here's the last question. Michael Eisner
Speaker 3: would host the Sunday Night Movie, appearing in intros and
Speaker 3: before commercial breaks from movies like The Leftovers and Our
Speaker 3: Favorite of Course. But it allegedly We're gonna, We're gonna
Speaker 3: bracket allegedly for his first introduction. Ever, he required how
Speaker 3: many takes higher or lower than twelve?
Speaker 2: Twelve takes is a lot. I'm gonna go lower.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say higher again.
Speaker 6: It's sixty eight. By the way, this is a fact
Speaker 6: that was in numerous places, not just fu O.
Speaker 2: My gosh, were you for five?
Speaker 4: No, I got the first, the third one, I got your.
Speaker 2: Twelve years geez, gosh.
Speaker 1: Sixty eight takes.
Speaker 2: That's a lot. Imagine how long that was.
Speaker 4: Because the fuzz Bucket one we saw it looked like
Speaker 4: it was a one, like one long take, like like
Speaker 4: a monologue that was pretty long.
Speaker 2: Do you remember that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So imagine how long sixty eight takes of something
Speaker 4: like that would be.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no one watched. No one watched the fuzz Bucket
Speaker 6: when it was like, Michael Eisner should be in these movies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: In all fairness, it was not Michael Eisner's fault. They
Speaker 3: were being directed by David Fincher.
Speaker 6: That's true. A lot of takes, a.
Speaker 1: Lot of takes. Okay, Well, let's what what do you
Speaker 1: got left for? Sabrina Ce's did we hit most?
Speaker 4: Oh man, we hit quite a bit of them. I
Speaker 4: jumped in with some of them. So, but because there's
Speaker 4: just so.
Speaker 2: Many But one thing I thought, I don't know if
Speaker 2: you picked up on it.
Speaker 4: This is kind of their only building moment of romance
Speaker 4: that is built in the movie. It's when outside and
Speaker 4: they're you know, hanging clothes, which I thought was so funny.
Speaker 2: I don't know, again, in the eighties.
Speaker 4: If that was a super normal thing and people didn't
Speaker 4: have dry washing machine.
Speaker 1: People stillide not a ton.
Speaker 2: That was a lot of clothes they had. That was
Speaker 2: everything that they own.
Speaker 1: There fourteen orphans members.
Speaker 2: Of the household.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so anyway that was I obviously was just you know,
Speaker 4: I always think that's so cute when when that happens.
Speaker 2: I love that in movies.
Speaker 4: But so they are taking their time talking about it,
Speaker 4: and then as he's he's leaving, she says, oh, Max,
Speaker 4: you better take an umbrella today.
Speaker 2: There's forecasts of rain today. And I'm like, then, why
Speaker 2: did you just hang all this un clothes outside and
Speaker 2: you're and he's leaving, You're done?
Speaker 4: What are you So that that was really like a
Speaker 4: funny little thing that didn't click in with many people
Speaker 4: on set apparently, And then we mentioned this and I
Speaker 4: don't want to stop it. Then because I thought I
Speaker 4: might have. I guess I got it wrong. But the
Speaker 4: time when we were sitting it says with our stuff
Speaker 4: with our producers, that Zoe gets adopted. I picked up
Speaker 4: that she was going for a couple of days to
Speaker 4: try it out. It wasn't an actual full blown adoption.
Speaker 4: And he even says, is this legal. I'm like, no,
Speaker 4: that is not legal. You cannot just like, this isn't
Speaker 4: a layaway borrow situation with a child. That was so
Speaker 4: bizarre to me, Like, no, that is not legal. No, Max,
Speaker 4: do not let her go with them, And she did,
Speaker 4: and it was sad, it was ridiculous.
Speaker 3: I'm still just now because you said it's terribly worried
Speaker 3: for Cindy Williams baby.
Speaker 2: My gosh.
Speaker 4: So then the last one I'm gonna do because this
Speaker 4: I believe, and honestly, I don't know if it's true,
Speaker 4: but it's it definitely looks like it is incorrect. There's
Speaker 4: two of them in the very first scene when Jesse's
Speaker 4: on her her bike with this awesome eighties contraption that.
Speaker 1: Sent everybody's harpers.
Speaker 4: She's riding along and all of a sudden wipes it
Speaker 4: looked like the dog there was a dog that came
Speaker 4: out and it almost looked like the dog wasn't supposed
Speaker 4: to do that kind of thing, and she wiggled and
Speaker 4: then just kept riding and.
Speaker 2: They kept it.
Speaker 4: She took her hands off, Yeah, she took her hands on,
Speaker 4: and then the dog freaking to.
Speaker 3: Be like hey, and then she like like almost wiped
Speaker 3: out on the bike.
Speaker 1: I saw that it was that.
Speaker 4: And then the second one again I think, because that
Speaker 4: could have easily been something that wasn't meant to happen,
Speaker 4: and then they just kept in because they liked the
Speaker 4: dog and added a you know, voysilver or whatever. And
Speaker 4: then the next one I think could have been the
Speaker 4: same way because it was kind of funny. It was
Speaker 4: a little mishap when mister Gladstone's coming back into the
Speaker 4: car the last time and we see your friend his
Speaker 4: assistants in there, and he's flabbergasted talking about firing Max.
Speaker 2: He's out of here, blah blah blah blah blah, and
Speaker 2: he kind of looks like he forgot to shut the door.
Speaker 4: And then he tells the driver and he says, what
Speaker 4: are you in Acoma? And then you see the actor
Speaker 4: that's next to him kind of like, you know, gesture
Speaker 4: to the door and then he shut the.
Speaker 2: Door and they fly off. Don't you think they could.
Speaker 4: Have something that was just a mistake. But it was
Speaker 4: funny and they kept it going and did not.
Speaker 1: And that's what I still didn't know. It was Willy, Like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's I didn't either.
Speaker 2: He only comes up one time after Willy.
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 2: He had three small little scenes and that's so.
Speaker 1: And I don't think he had a line or he
Speaker 1: had one in the whole movie.
Speaker 2: So that's it for me.
Speaker 1: My great Sabrina sees as always.
Speaker 3: And now we have to rate our movie one out
Speaker 3: of ten, one of course being bad, ten being amazing.
Speaker 1: What should do one out of ten?
Speaker 3: Pet goats, stuffed animal surgeries, beat up hippie vans, awful.
Speaker 1: Aunts or anti gravity hats? What do you think? I'm
Speaker 1: also gonna add.
Speaker 3: Eighties newspaper cannons, which of course everybody had back in the.
Speaker 1: Day, the eighties.
Speaker 7: Terrible uh, terrible baby baskets or terrible baby baskets.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do the eighties. What did you call it?
Speaker 1: Eighties newspaper cannons? Okay, perfect, So out of out of
Speaker 1: ten eighties newspaper canons. How many do you give this one?
Speaker 2: Oh? Man? You know was?
Speaker 4: I did like a lot of it again the young cast, yep,
Speaker 4: but I.
Speaker 2: Didn't love there was too many what wait? What what?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 4: It's just kind of all over. Like I said, a
Speaker 4: lot of it was a little spastic.
Speaker 2: For me and at a lot of times.
Speaker 4: So I think this is not going to be one
Speaker 4: of my better ones. I'm gonna go.
Speaker 2: With six eighties newspaper cannons.
Speaker 3: You know what's funny, it's exactly the number I'm going
Speaker 3: to give it. It would be a much lower number
Speaker 3: for me if not for the cast. Yeah, the cast
Speaker 3: was great.
Speaker 1: The cast was great, and.
Speaker 2: It was really fun to see.
