Speaker 1: Oh man, will I am excited it is.
Speaker 2: About our movie today, or about something else, or about everything.
Speaker 1: I have had a dream for a long time to
Speaker 1: have a dance athletic line.
Speaker 2: Me too.
Speaker 1: Yes, I know it's finally happening. I've been looking on
Speaker 1: this for a couple of years. Our VIPs were able
Speaker 1: to start ordering on Sunday, and now I'm sitting impatiently
Speaker 1: waiting because it is going live tomorrow. I'm really really
Speaker 1: excited for this. It's an exclusive dancewear towards you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's athletic, but it's really catered to dancers that
Speaker 1: really want to elevate their dancing to the next level.
Speaker 1: We've got these amazing grips that are on the sides
Speaker 1: of the legging that will allow them to do extensions,
Speaker 1: you know, all those flexible extensions you like to do. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and when you do it, sometimes your legs slips out
Speaker 1: of your hand because of the legging, so you sometimes
Speaker 1: will scrunch and pull your leg up so that you
Speaker 1: can get like skin on skin contact. This you don't
Speaker 1: have to do that. You can literally grab it. It's
Speaker 1: got actual grip like what football players use.
Speaker 2: Smart.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an athletic grip. So I'm so excited and
Speaker 1: the colors and the material everything is just like gorgeous.
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of this first line and this launch.
Speaker 2: Well wait, how do I get it for when I'm
Speaker 2: going to go dancing? Then how does one find this stuff?
Speaker 1: So you'd go on my page or Sobrey Dance Official
Speaker 1: on Instagram and there's a link right there, or you
Speaker 1: can go just right to the website as well, Sobrey
Speaker 1: Dance Official dot com.
Speaker 2: Okay, cool, because my problem when I'm doing my extensions
Speaker 2: is not that my leg slips out of my hand,
Speaker 2: It's that my hips slips out of its joint. So
Speaker 2: I don't know if that is Do these pants help that?
Speaker 2: Or do you still have to dance? They don't teach
Speaker 2: you how to dance?
Speaker 1: Right, Unfortunately, it does not teach you, gotcha. The official
Speaker 1: website is sobriofficial dot com. Nice and so yes, it's
Speaker 1: so exciting. Well, I've been so giddy all week. I
Speaker 1: just I can't believe this is finally happening.

Speaker 2: pants and tops?
Speaker 1: Where pants and tops? So it's broad tops. There's a
Speaker 1: short one there's a mid and then there's a little
Speaker 1: bit of a longer one. We've got Midnight Blue and
Speaker 1: then we've got our Onyx Cheetah and our They're nice.

Speaker 2: maybe they won't.
Speaker 1: They're not miracle workers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, exactly, they're pants. They are not talented and
Speaker 2: exactly Well, congratulations on that, and welcome back everybody to
Speaker 2: Magical Rewind, the show that makes you want to grab
Speaker 2: your friends, your pjs and your popcorn and go back
Speaker 2: to your time. And all the houses were smart, the
Speaker 2: waves tsunamis, and the pants had little grippy things on me. No,
Speaker 2: and the high school's musical I'm Will.
Speaker 1: For Now and I'm Sabrina Brian.
Speaker 2: Well, it's time to tackle a new d coom here
Speaker 2: on Magical Rewind and it's one with a very common
Speaker 2: theme for kids movies, taking hostages. It's two thousand and
Speaker 2: nine's crime comedy Dad Napped. This movie, filled with a
Speaker 2: lot of very familiar Disney faces, debuted on February sixteenth,
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine, to a large fanfare, actually four
Speaker 2: point six million viewers be exact, This was a big
Speaker 2: hit for the channel, even besting the huge Nickelodeon Movie
Speaker 2: of the Year Spectacular by over thirty nine percent, and frankly,
Speaker 2: I'm never gonna watch that, so I won't know which
Speaker 2: one's better either way. Here's the thing about this movie, though,
Speaker 2: is despite it's Nielsen's success, Dad Nap was not a
Speaker 2: favorite for critics, scoring a forty five percent on the
Speaker 2: Popcorn Meter, with critic David Neussaer, I think I'm saying
Speaker 2: that name right, calling it quote the lowest common denominator
Speaker 2: quote end quote, underwhelming second unquote. But we are not
Speaker 2: going to let that sway our votes. We are of
Speaker 2: the people. And of course, despite these critical insults, it
Speaker 2: did get a sequel in the form of a young
Speaker 2: adult book. Dad Napped Junior novel was released around the
Speaker 2: same time as the movie, so it does appear that
Speaker 2: Disney had high hopes for this film. Interesting, Dad Napped
Speaker 2: was shot on a very decent decom budget of four
Speaker 2: point five million dollars and they shot it in wait
Speaker 2: for it. Utah, We're back, baby. I feel like I
Speaker 2: have so long right the world all make.
Speaker 1: Forgot what Salt Lake City look like for a minute, right?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: So we asked this a couple questions to start the show.
Speaker 2: What was your expertise when it came to Dad Naps?
Speaker 2: Had you heard of Dad Nap? Did you know Dad
Speaker 2: Nap or your Dad Naps fan?
Speaker 1: I did not, but I will tell you I'm a
Speaker 1: fan of every single person that's on that screen. So
Speaker 1: I feel a little bit like I should have paid
Speaker 1: attention to this one, because, Yeah, this cast was incredible.
Speaker 2: I agree the cast was great.
Speaker 1: What about you, will, is this was this year your
Speaker 1: top one?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Never know?
Speaker 1: Never you thought when you think of d com you
Speaker 1: don't think of Dad Nap.
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't think of Dad No. I when
Speaker 2: everybody knows when I think of d com I uh
Speaker 2: think of when I'm not even going to think of it.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say a bad title because we've been
Speaker 2: through it. Go back and watch our old feed. You'll
Speaker 2: know the ones I like and the ones that I
Speaker 2: don't like. So here we go, floss floss, floss. It's
Speaker 2: time we get into the synopsis Young Melissa Moore. You'll
Speaker 2: understand that, hopefully young Melissa Morris is desperate to gain
Speaker 2: more attention from her best selling author Dad, so when
Speaker 2: her father gets kidnapped by obsessive fans, she must come
Speaker 2: to the rescue, like the protagonist in one of his
Speaker 2: popular spy novels, Sabrina. Early thoughts on Dad Nap Take
Speaker 2: it Away? What do you think?
Speaker 1: I found myself at a place where I have been
Speaker 1: before with these d coms. I absolutely hated this Dad
Speaker 1: for k I was just beyond disappointed. I literally could
Speaker 1: not get out of my feelings about this dad for
Speaker 1: the first fifteen to almost twenty minutes of this movie.
Speaker 1: Like you are the most selfish, self absorbed A whole?
Speaker 2: Is that all we're gonna get? Just a whole? That's it?
Speaker 1: You are such a a anyway, you suck you suck lawyers.
Speaker 1: Such a guy. I hated him so bad, and he's
Speaker 1: like one of my favorite characters on Friends.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well he's also a good guy. Somebody I've known
Speaker 2: for a long time. That's George Newburn, who's the voice
Speaker 2: of Superman in Justice League.
Speaker 1: He's I did not know that anyway, kids, this character
Speaker 1: was unreal as an adult acting and behaving this way.
Speaker 1: I was very disappointed.
Speaker 2: Did you like the movie?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 1: It was kind of a lot to take in, right,
Speaker 1: There's such a big cast. It was a little overwhelming
Speaker 1: for me at the beginning to see everyone that kept
Speaker 1: popping up and up and up and up. As you're going,
Speaker 1: you're going, oh my god, Moises, is you? Oh my god?
Speaker 1: You know you're going, okay, okay, what's your character? What
Speaker 1: you know? It was a little I wasn't able to
Speaker 1: really sit and chill on it for a while. It
Speaker 1: wasn't until like halfway more closer to the end that
Speaker 1: I was able to finally like relax and just watch
Speaker 1: the movie. What about you?
Speaker 2: Oh, Sabrina Brian, This is a tough one for me.
Speaker 2: This movie is bananas and not kind of in a
Speaker 2: good way. This did not feel like a decom to me,
Speaker 2: you know what this felt like? To me, this felt
Speaker 2: like a Nickelodeon movie.
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, it doesn't feel even like
Speaker 1: a Paul Hohan no at all.
Speaker 2: That's why. And you know, little spoiler alert. We we
Speaker 2: got to interview Jason Earls for our Park Copper episode
Speaker 2: and I specifically asked, does did this movie start with
Speaker 2: a different director and then Paul Howan took over?
Speaker 1: Because we know not've done that.
Speaker 2: Felt the same. The story doesn't make any sense. It
Speaker 2: is super weird, The characters are weird. The main girl
Speaker 2: is having like some sort of a Melton mental break.
Speaker 2: It is this movie was I had to watch this
Speaker 2: movie in chunks, like this was not a movie that
Speaker 2: I was able to sit down and watch from beginning.
Speaker 2: And this was a rough one for me. Yeah, totally
Speaker 2: was great that Disney Disney Banger after Disney Banger. When
Speaker 2: it comes to the cast, nobody's acting was bad, Like, no,
Speaker 2: not at all, everything at all. What I was not
Speaker 2: a character thing.
Speaker 1: What I felt was very hard to grasp was each
Speaker 1: of these characters are such or each of these actors
Speaker 1: are such phenomenal actors. But the characters I feel like
Speaker 1: they had to. It was like they were battling a
Speaker 1: little bit as far as not not not the actors,
Speaker 1: but just the characters. All were so big and so
Speaker 1: extreme and had to be so funny, every single one
Speaker 1: of them, and when on screen together, That's what I said.
Speaker 1: I was like overwhelmed a little.
Speaker 2: It was it was this this movie for me, it
Speaker 2: was like the things they were having this great young
Speaker 2: cast try to accomplish were next to impossible. And it
Speaker 2: was one after another.
Speaker 1: Especially towards the end, and all of that always about
Speaker 1: I love a good food fight. I got to do
Speaker 1: one when I was an extra on the Matilda movie,
Speaker 1: Like so much fun, so fun for kids on set.
Speaker 1: This was just like by the end of it, I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, why are everything so colorful and gooey
Speaker 1: and being you?
Speaker 2: This one didn't do anything, but yeah, this was This
Speaker 2: was a rough one for me because we've seen some
Speaker 2: good ones.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and luckily he is such a good physical actor
Speaker 1: that like it makes it totally fine. But poor guy,
Speaker 1: poor guy.
Speaker 2: Wait, this was this was a This was like a
Speaker 2: fever dream wrapped in a tab of acid that was
Speaker 2: then dipped into ayahuasca. Like this was a weird movie,
Speaker 2: but anyway it was.
Speaker 1: It was overwhelming for me for sure.
Speaker 2: As we said, Dad Napped is another Paul Hoan joint,
Speaker 2: a director that we have covered extensively here on the podcast.
Speaker 2: He is currently at the Helm of Zombies, a modern
Speaker 2: day dcom hit franchise, and is no stranger to the medium,
Speaker 2: having directed Let It Shine, Luck of the Irish, you
Speaker 2: Wish read It and Weep, Jump In and Cheetah Girls,
Speaker 2: One World. We've already interviewed this Disney legend. He's a
Speaker 2: great guy. So as we sit and pat and wait
Speaker 2: for Zombies four, go check out our talk with him
Speaker 2: currently sitting there on our feet. Great interview, awesome guy,
Speaker 2: great director. Just didn't this one didn't feel like him.
Speaker 2: But anyway, like we said, this movie is filled with
Speaker 2: Disney Channel faces. It was a pipeline to get their
Speaker 2: promising talent into a movie. First up, we've got Emily
Speaker 2: Osmond as Melissa sixth cent star Haley Joe Osmond is
Speaker 2: her brother, and we just saw her in the Hannah
Speaker 2: Montana movie, playing a role she started in the series
Speaker 2: of the same name, best friend Lily Truscott. She is
Speaker 2: also a bit of a pop star of her own
Speaker 2: during her Disney days. You actually have to hear one
Speaker 2: of her songs in this movie at the end. She
Speaker 2: also released a duet with Magical rewinderam Boat Mitchell Musso,
Speaker 2: and at one point they were singing together. She was
Speaker 2: also part of the Disney machine, and she was great
Speaker 2: in this movie. She really was with what they gave her.
Speaker 2: She carried the whole thing. It was a strange character,
Speaker 2: but she hit all the beats. She did it very well.
Speaker 2: She was funny when she had to be funny. She
Speaker 2: was sincere when she had to be sincere. She did
Speaker 2: everything she possibly could with what they gave her. Most
Speaker 2: recently now you can see her on Young Sheldon as
Speaker 2: Mandy McAllister, or role she is now revisiting in the
Speaker 2: just renewed CBS spinoff, starring in George and Mandy's first
Speaker 2: marriage and then. David Henry is wee'z. David is a
Speaker 2: Disney star of the past and current day. Is starring
Speaker 2: in the original Wizards of Waverley play series and the
Speaker 2: current reboot, as well as the show's dcom we recently
Speaker 2: watched for the podcast. He also played Ted Moseby's future
Speaker 2: son in How I Met Your Mother and shared the
Speaker 2: role of Ronald Reagan with Tennis Quaid in the twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four movie Reagan. Jason Earl's new friend of the
Speaker 2: podcast You'll Get Into You'll You'll understand what that means
Speaker 2: when you go check out our Parcopper episode is the
Speaker 2: villainous MERV Kilbo like he just sounds bad. Merv Merv Kilbo.
Speaker 2: Earl's is another hand of Montana star. He played Jackson
Speaker 2: and also starred in the Disney XD series Kicking It Fun. Fact.
Speaker 2: Earl's also worked as the recent onset acting coach for
Speaker 2: high school musical The Musical the Series, which is arguably
Speaker 2: the best named thing ever, and eventually appeared on the
Speaker 2: show as camp counselor Dow we would moisus Arius is
Speaker 2: little brother. Andre Moysis has turned his childhood starred him
Speaker 2: as Rico also on Hannah Montana into a full fledged
Speaker 2: acting career, appearing in movies Enders, Game, and Nacho lebre
Speaker 2: and was most recently seen in the hit limited series
Speaker 2: Fallout as Norma. I Mean He's Everywhere. Denzel Whittaker is
Speaker 2: Sheldon and has also appeared in some impressive movies over
Speaker 2: the years, including Training Day and Black panther Man. And
Speaker 2: another character actor regular that we've seen is Charles Halford.
Speaker 2: He plays the quirky skunk. You've seen Charles in a
Speaker 2: ton of stuff later in life, looking totally different now
Speaker 2: in True Detective Outer Banks and The Walking Dead, just
Speaker 2: to name a few. And of course, Phil Lewis plays Maurice.
Speaker 2: Lewis's a longtime character actor as well, seen in movies
Speaker 2: like Heathers and City Slickers, but is best known to
Speaker 2: our listeners as mister Moseby in the Sweet Life of
Speaker 2: Zach and Cody. He also transitioned into a very prolific
Speaker 2: TV director on shows like Good Luck, Charlie, Mike and Molly, Side,
Speaker 2: Hug and Bumped. All right, Sabrina, how many of these people
Speaker 2: did you go to the Disney Channel games with? And
Speaker 2: were any on your massively losing teams?
Speaker 1: You are so rude sometimes.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry I couldn't hear you. I was listening to
Speaker 2: the winners. What were you saying?
Speaker 1: It's just I can't I can't even defend myself anymore.
Speaker 1: It's just what it is. Damn. Anyway, Moiss was actually
Speaker 1: on my team, okay, uh, Jason was not. We know
Speaker 1: this because Jason Jason of Sir Jason David Henry was
Speaker 1: there for sure, because I know Selena Gomez was, but
Speaker 1: I don't remember hanging out with him, which is weird
Speaker 1: because I think we're closer in age than I was
Speaker 1: compared to a lot of those people. And then Emily Osmond.
Speaker 1: I don't remember what team she was on, but I'm
Speaker 1: sure she wasn't on mine.
Speaker 2: It's just so this was just such a movie where
Speaker 2: they were just slamming it full of stars. It was amazing.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then and then Phil Phil Phil was I
Speaker 1: think they're doing He wasn't He was not one of
Speaker 1: the hosts. He was like one of the hosts. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he came in and did a couple of things. So
Speaker 1: so fun, That's what I'm saying, Like, it's like, you
Speaker 1: don't it's not even just times where we got to compete,
Speaker 1: but it was like hanging out or doing like interstitials
Speaker 1: together and things like that. Was just really fun to
Speaker 1: see all of them.
Speaker 2: That's cool. Well, speaking of winning, Dad Nap comes in
Speaker 2: at are you ready for this? Are you ready for
Speaker 2: the Sabrina ninety minutes? We've got a winner. People right
Speaker 2: on target, the perfect length for a d coom. I
Speaker 2: would like to thank Disney and Team Blue also, I
Speaker 2: mean just it's a perfect length for probably any movie.
Speaker 2: Great job everyone, mission accomplished. It was written by Alan Silberberg,
Speaker 2: who started his career writing the nostalgic game show Doubledare,
Speaker 2: which is something from back in my day. That's when
Speaker 2: I was on Nickelodeon God New Mark Summers. That's what
Speaker 2: that was my Nickelodeon deck. Oh, I've told you to,
Speaker 2: haven't I. You know Robin the woman who used to
Speaker 2: bring all this stuff out on Doubledare, It was his
Speaker 2: co host. She was my legal guardian when I lived
Speaker 2: in Florida doing the Nickelodeon stuff. Yeah, Robin, no way. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this Double Dare was my that's these were my friends
Speaker 2: and yes, and would also work out a lot of
Speaker 2: other early nineties stuff like the all new Mickey Mouse Club,
Speaker 2: Doug and Chop Chop Ninja. But this was actually his
Speaker 2: only dcom. And of course Dad Napp is currently available
Speaker 2: of you on Disney Plus. So if you want to
Speaker 2: watch it now, you can. If you want to watch
Speaker 2: it later after you listen to us, you can do
Speaker 2: that too. You can do a lot of things because
Speaker 2: we believe in you. We just know that you're bad
Speaker 2: at cooking, so stay out of the kitchen. I don't
Speaker 2: know that, actually, I'm just assuming. Okay, the time is now,
Speaker 2: let's set a trip trap and get to Dad Napped
Speaker 2: Almost Ryan. We opened with a dcom mainstay, one that
Speaker 2: we have talked about so many times, the trope we
Speaker 2: can never avoid. It is a pop song playing over
Speaker 2: the credits while we see details from the room of
Speaker 2: our young main character we have just keep parting at.
Speaker 1: It's starting to it just it's like starting to irritate me, right,
Speaker 1: it's a and I feel bad because it's you're like
Speaker 1: you've said it many times in the podcast. It's the
Speaker 1: greatest way to figure out quickly who this girl is,
Speaker 1: where she comes from, what she's into, what's her favorite color,
Speaker 1: all that stuff. It's great, but my god, we can't
Speaker 1: figure out another way to do this, Like all that's
Speaker 1: all another version?
Speaker 2: Here we go. How many times we got to see
Speaker 2: it again? None of these movies were supposed to be watched
Speaker 2: back to back. That's the difference with streaming things. Right away,
Speaker 2: it's like, wait a minute, these are all the same
Speaker 2: people doing the same thing every week. Yes, so we
Speaker 2: we we've seen it. It is uh, we've witnessed it
Speaker 2: time and time again, because again, as Sabrina just said,
Speaker 2: it's a very fast way to get to know somebody
Speaker 2: without any dialogue or wasting any time. And in this case,
Speaker 2: in this very specific one, we see baby photos, a
Speaker 2: book series called trip Zoom. There's girly pink everywhere, and
Speaker 2: our lead teenager, Melissa Morris. Again they love the literation.
Speaker 2: Shannon Chipley taking a look at her framed family photo.
Speaker 2: It's her and her mom and her dad. But then magically,
Speaker 2: a good looking young man appears in the pic, but
Speaker 2: then fades away instantly, but she seems hurt by even
Speaker 2: the fact that he was there for a moment. All right,
Speaker 2: So this is obviously going to be about books, which
Speaker 2: is one of the things I love to talk about.
Speaker 2: Did you have book series as kids that as a
Speaker 2: kid that you just loved you couldn't get enough of?
Speaker 1: I read the what was it Goosebumps?
Speaker 2: Yeah, great series series.
Speaker 1: And then I also I care the one I remember
Speaker 1: was like my first one. I was really into the
Speaker 1: something about a train track, The box Car Kids, box
Speaker 1: Car Kids, Yes, box thank you Lisa El explain it,
Speaker 1: and then I really liked, well, I was really into
Speaker 1: like national was it national geographic?
Speaker 2: Like the I love the gas and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, those were mainly my things. It wasn't all necessarily
Speaker 1: like storytelling. It was more like learning about animals or
Speaker 1: learning about different places in the world. That was like,
Speaker 1: really what I was into.
Speaker 2: That's cool, I love that. Yeah, what about you?
Speaker 1: Was it just comics like we'll no, no.
Speaker 2: I didn't find comics till much later. The first book
Speaker 2: I found that changed my life was a book that
Speaker 2: my third grade teacher read us and then we had
Speaker 2: to take home and read at night, by an amazing
Speaker 2: author named Lynn read Banks, called The Indian in the Cupboard.
Speaker 2: They ended up making a movie about it years and
Speaker 2: years later, which was terrible, but the book was phenomenal.
Speaker 2: And then that led to like choose your own Adventures,
Speaker 2: and then that led to then the first fantasy series
Speaker 2: that changed my life, which is by David Eddings, which
Speaker 2: is called the Belgaria and the Melorian series, and that
Speaker 2: then it's just fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, fantasy, yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: oh I see it, so, yeah it was I loved it,
Speaker 2: but anyway, for our film, we fade into Upper Valley
Speaker 2: High School. It's English class right before the holiday break,
Speaker 2: and Jeffrey Zimmer is called to the front of the
Speaker 2: class for his book report. Jeffrey's report is on Neil
Speaker 2: Morris's new book from the Trip Zoom series, Freeze Dried
Speaker 2: too many jokes. I'm not even gonna go there. Now
Speaker 2: a small detail that is worth pointing out here. Okay, Serena,
Speaker 2: what would your guest be on how trip Zoom is spelled?
Speaker 2: Because throughout the movie and the subtitles, we actually see
Speaker 2: it as both trip t r I P p zoom
Speaker 2: z O O m E and trip zoom t r
Speaker 2: I p z o O M. So what do you
Speaker 2: think it is?
Speaker 1: Oh, it was spelled twice your Yeah, which one do
Speaker 1: you think is right? That was one of my first
Speaker 1: Serena sees dang.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I feel like Disney like likes to throw in like
Speaker 1: an extra little letter here and there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so too, Disney d I s n
Speaker 2: E y A. So, yeah, your guess is as good
Speaker 2: as ours. Disney Disney, I like that. That's what it is.
Speaker 2: From now on, we're rebranding. Okay, Now, although this class
Speaker 2: is thrilled about this book report, it seems like it's
Speaker 2: a massive bummer for Melissa. The teacher points out that
Speaker 2: Freeze Fried Dreams is in even out till tomorrow, but
Speaker 2: Jeffrey explains that his dad knows a guy who works
Speaker 2: at the paper factory, so he got an early copy.
Speaker 2: He pulls it out and the class is wildly impressed,
Speaker 2: and so is the teacher, who rushes to a desk
Speaker 2: to listen as well. Jeffrey starts his report, he explains
Speaker 2: that Tina is in the clutches of the ruthless Rudolpho
Speaker 2: and Trip Zoom is nowhere to be found. Now, as
Speaker 2: he tells the story, we see it acted out in
Speaker 2: real time with cutscenes. And this is the only time
Speaker 2: this happens in the movie ever. Yeah, Now, did you
Speaker 2: think this is how the movie was going to play out?
Speaker 2: That occasionally we would be cutting to Trip Zoom stuff?
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, yeah, yeah, Nope, never happens again.
Speaker 1: I felt kind of missing. I would have liked to
Speaker 1: see certain things. I mean, she's already having these hallucinations anyway,
Speaker 1: It's like.
Speaker 2: Right, it's exactly so. But this time, just as Rudolpho
Speaker 2: approaches Tina with a power saw. We see Trip Zoom
Speaker 2: in the shadows, and this is the same boy that
Speaker 2: appeared in Melissa's family photo, so we saw that the
Speaker 2: boy that appears and disappears is obviously true Zoom. He
Speaker 2: does a flip off the second story and surprises Rudolpho
Speaker 2: with a spider man like quip, is it me or
Speaker 2: are you actually getting uglier burn? Radolpho charges that, Trip,
Speaker 2: running into a trip wire, which maybe made me think
Speaker 2: that might be his signature move, but who knows. While
Speaker 2: Rudolpho is stunned, Trip gets the handcuffs off of Tina
Speaker 2: and runs to the roof. By the way, keep that
Speaker 2: in mind, because if there's gonna be a drinking game
Speaker 2: for this episode, it's gonna be the amount of times
Speaker 2: characters are handcuffed in a d com So Trip and
Speaker 2: Tina run to the roof, but that is a terrible
Speaker 2: place to hide out because there's nowhere to go but down.
Speaker 2: As they contemplate their next move, here comes Rudolpho, justin
Speaker 2: Timer here picks up a tarp and grabs Tina. He
Speaker 2: jumps off the roof and uses the sheet as a parachute,
Speaker 2: landing safely on the ground. They hop on matching dirt
Speaker 2: bikes and leave in a hurry. Rudolpho yells, this isn't over,
Speaker 2: Trip Dune. It's supposed to be Zoom, not by a
Speaker 2: long shot. But the funny thing is it is over
Speaker 2: because we never see Rudolpho again or any of these
Speaker 2: characters except the trip guy comes back. What I'm already now, Like.
Speaker 1: I know, I'm all right, I'm pushing, I'm going, Oh god,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna struggle this one.
Speaker 2: That's what I thought too. This is when I think.
Speaker 2: I turned on my phone and started to scroll for
Speaker 2: about half an.
Speaker 1: Hour, and she also and I'm I don't know. It
Speaker 1: was just I guess edited this way. The amount of
Speaker 1: eye rolls that Emily is. That's what one of my
Speaker 1: supriatacies was. Like I was going, I was thinking, not
Speaker 1: the handcuffs, that's a good one. I was thinking, how
Speaker 1: many times is she going to I roll.
Speaker 2: Iroll the drinking game, I roll. You'll be dead by
Speaker 2: the second act.
Speaker 3: Break.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but back in class, the students are hanging on
Speaker 2: every word from the book report and by the way,
Speaker 2: this guy just absolutely spoiled the end of this book
Speaker 2: or the big part of this book for the people
Speaker 2: where and it hasn't even come out yet. It's like
Speaker 2: the guy got a copy of Harry Potter, the last one,
Speaker 2: and just in his book report decided to read the
Speaker 2: last chapter to the team. So it's like what. But anyway,
Speaker 2: as he finishes, the class applauds, but Melissa is not moved.
Speaker 2: The teacher calls it another literary masterpiece, which is definitely
Speaker 2: not hyperbole, but also reveals that the writer, Neil Morris,
Speaker 2: is the dad of one Melissa Morris. The class, of
Speaker 2: course erupts and start chanting Trip rules just as the
Speaker 2: bell ring, and now on her way out of class,
Speaker 2: Melissa turns and spots a huge ad for Trip at school,
Speaker 2: you know, like all schools that have huge ads for
Speaker 2: books everywhere. And that's when we enter a new device
Speaker 2: in the movie something we're going to see a lot of.
Speaker 2: She can talk to Trip. In this case, we see
Speaker 2: his mouth move in the big poster, despite the fact
Speaker 2: this is a photo and he's a fictional character. So
Speaker 2: and the it looked bad with the mouth flaps in
Speaker 2: the eyes. It was just the whole thing was strange.
Speaker 2: But Melissa, this is where we figure out that Melissa
Speaker 2: really seems to hate him and the fact that he
Speaker 2: takes up so much of her dad's time. So that
Speaker 2: night at okay, well, okay, all right, okay, that night
Speaker 2: at Melissa's mom's house, Melissa is watching a TV report
Speaker 2: about the new book's release, and now the imaginary Trip
Speaker 2: is bickering with her through the TV screen, and that's
Speaker 2: when her mom enters the room. Melissa hides her possible
Speaker 2: schizophrenia and certifiable delusion, saying she's just excited for the
Speaker 2: camping trip with her dad tomorrow. We find out that
Speaker 2: her parents are divorced, but the split was amicable, and
Speaker 2: I thought, huh, divorce in Disney. I thought, we learned
Speaker 2: that your your spouse can be dead and that's okay,
Speaker 2: but divorce is something they usually stay away from. So
Speaker 2: I was like, okay, and so many kids come from
Speaker 2: divorce families, it's probably good to throw more divorce in there.
Speaker 2: It's it's ideal.
Speaker 1: I did love too, that the mom was not condescending
Speaker 1: towards the dad, like she did a great job of
Speaker 1: co parenting in this moment too.
Speaker 2: Which even with him being huge awful.
Speaker 1: For kids, Yeah, he did not do well, but I
Speaker 1: think it was huge for her for that message to
Speaker 1: be pushed.
Speaker 2: Now, do you think personally one of the reasons they
Speaker 2: got divorced is because he became super wealthy and just
Speaker 2: bailed on her, and he lived a massive house somewhere.
Speaker 1: I took it as he's an ego maniac and couldn't
Speaker 1: stop talking about himself and his fame and the book.
Speaker 1: Like she also, she left. I thought it was she'd
Speaker 1: be walking away from him because of this exact thing
Speaker 1: that she's having to watch her daughter go through.
Speaker 2: Huh, that makes sense. I buy that totally. The next day,
Speaker 2: Melissa's mom opens the door to see trip, but it's
Speaker 2: actually a cardboard cutout Neil, Melissa's dad and her exes
Speaker 2: hiding behind it. He brags about how much his new
Speaker 2: book is going to sell, which is always cool to
Speaker 2: do in front of your ex wife who you have
Speaker 2: divorced before you became JK. Rowling. She quickly shames him
Speaker 2: into not asking about their daughter, which he doesn't do,
Speaker 2: and tells him to make the camping trip the best
Speaker 2: father daughter experience possible. Melissa enters, giving her dad a
Speaker 2: big hug and an out from the vacation, but he
Speaker 2: says he is one hundred and fifty percent hers for
Speaker 2: the weekend and only hers. While he makes this promise,
Speaker 2: she sees trip in the corner of the room. Yeah right,
Speaker 2: He says, he's not so sold on where her dad's
Speaker 2: attention will be, and this fiction character is probably accurate.
Speaker 2: Now they're out on the road. The two are in
Speaker 2: a Mustang convertible, which is a very modest car for
Speaker 2: the world's biggest author. They're driving with trips cutout in
Speaker 2: the backseat, like you do. Melissa talks about packing new
Speaker 2: boots and the game word Wham and the fun they're
Speaker 2: going to have. But he breaks some news to her.
Speaker 2: They first have to stop at the Mercury Zoom Convention.
Speaker 2: It'll be filled with real Zoomers and he's judging a
Speaker 2: costume contest. Then they can go camping right after. Now
Speaker 2: she is obviously nervous about this change of plans, but
Speaker 2: she agrees to go. And you'll be shocked to hear this,
Speaker 2: but the cutout comes to life again. Doubts this plan
Speaker 2: is going to work out. This fake trip. Cardboard cutout guy.
Speaker 1: Is just augh, just and it looks so bad.
Speaker 2: It does look very bad. It looks it doesn't look good.
Speaker 2: The father and daughter enter Mercury, which is a quiet
Speaker 2: little town, and they see a long line already waiting
Speaker 2: for him at this Mercury con He again promises her,
Speaker 2: don't worry, it's only going to be one night. They
Speaker 2: get inside a hotel, dozens of fans and supposed to
Speaker 2: be dozens of fans, but there's not enough extras at
Speaker 2: even a small convention, and it looks very strange. And
Speaker 2: for some reason, somebody was cause playing as a scuba diver. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm assuming that's a character we're supposed to know from
Speaker 2: somebody you go to. No one cosplays as a scuba diver,
Speaker 2: unless there's anyway. I do a lot of conventions, and
Speaker 2: I love them and they're fun. I've never seen a
Speaker 2: scuba dive.
Speaker 1: I have the biggest question when we get to Sabrina Sees.
Speaker 1: It's literally actually all my spreena seas. It's just asked
Speaker 1: about this.
Speaker 2: About conventions, Okay, these things, and I love them.
Speaker 1: I asked so many questions. I've never been to one.
Speaker 2: I've you're gonna I'll take it a.
Speaker 1: Theories.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I will open your eyes to one I
Speaker 2: will open your eyes to one Sabrina. You're gonna love it.
Speaker 2: So yes, dozens of cosplayers are cosplaying as his characters.
Speaker 2: They're making a mess of the lobby. He's helped by
Speaker 2: the starstruck hotel owner Merv, who puts him in the
Speaker 2: presidential suite. This is where we see a shady character, Sheldon,
Speaker 2: hiding out in a phone booth. He says in the
Speaker 2: phone quote the package has arrived, and on the other
Speaker 2: end is a young man named Weez at home devising
Speaker 2: a plan to quote unquote win the contest. We hangs
Speaker 2: up and plays a quick turn of Wordwham, which was
Speaker 2: the same game legally changed enough from Scrabble that Melissa
Speaker 2: mentioned earlier. No matter his bonus word score move, this
Speaker 2: all spells trouble. Thank you. At the hotel, MERV walks
Speaker 2: our duo to their suite, supposedly the establishment's finest, but
Speaker 2: it's basically just two beds, a lava lamp, and a chandelier. Later,
Speaker 2: at the hotel's convention, Neil is being hounded by fans
Speaker 2: with theories and ideas, and he bumps into a big,
Speaker 2: nervous fan named Skunk, who gets his name obviously because
Speaker 2: he's got a white stripe down the center of his
Speaker 2: hair and he wants to get his book signed. Excited,
Speaker 2: Skunk runs to show it off to his brother Maurice,
Speaker 2: who tells him to stop playing around. They're not there
Speaker 2: for autographs. Also, there's a supermount of sketchy people at
Speaker 2: this event, just like criminals everywhere, and I go to
Speaker 2: these conventions all the time. They're not criminals, they're incredible people.
Speaker 2: Melissa watches the activities around her dad from afar, taking notes.
Speaker 2: Then out of nowhere, a man falls from the rafters,
Speaker 2: suspended by a rope, just like a low budget version
Speaker 2: of that Mission Possible stunt. He brags about how he's
Speaker 2: going to win the contest, but Melissa is shocked to
Speaker 2: hear about the challenge. He informs her that whoever at
Speaker 2: this event can prove their quote zoom enough unquote wins prizes,
Speaker 2: and the prizes are they get to become a character
Speaker 2: in her dad's next book and the chance to read
Speaker 2: it before it's published. We also learned that the catchphrase
Speaker 2: from the book is apparently floss, as in teeth floss.
Speaker 2: Is this a superhero catchphrase? Am I supposed to get this?
Speaker 2: Because I don't know what that is.
Speaker 1: It comes up at least three or four times in
Speaker 1: the movie, all the time inredibly Lost. I don't understand it.
Speaker 2: That should be it lost lost lost. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: I didn't either.
Speaker 1: I'm out of my realm. I don't know anything.
Speaker 2: This is my realm, and I still don't get.
Speaker 1: It about It's like, okay, I.
Speaker 3: Will say as the voice of God here, Yeah, they
Speaker 3: used dental floss a lot in the movie. That's what
Speaker 3: they do to high up the guy. And then I
Speaker 3: think they to trip people. So maybe that's it should
Speaker 3: have been explained better. But maybe that is what Trip
Speaker 3: carries as as.
Speaker 2: A weapon, is floss? Okay? Maybe again, well it's a
Speaker 2: great weapon against ginger vitis. Right right, So black and
Speaker 2: black build up.
Speaker 1: This goes back to what we and maybe they did
Speaker 1: film these and that hit the cutting room floor to
Speaker 1: get to that ninety minute.
Speaker 2: But the story they cut out, the story they were.
Speaker 1: Like the going into like what we got a little
Speaker 1: bit of the movie.
Speaker 2: Thinking maybe see act maybe yeah.
Speaker 1: You know moments of the book acting acting. That would
Speaker 1: have been a time where he if it is floss,
Speaker 1: he opens up the floss he's got the you know whatever.
Speaker 2: Are we gonna get Dad napped? The Paul Hohen cut,
Speaker 2: maybe the new director's cut.
Speaker 1: I should ask him what okay? What was left helping
Speaker 1: boles here?
Speaker 2: Excuse me, Paul, but I have questions. The next morning,
Speaker 2: Melissa sees that her dad has been working the entire
Speaker 2: trip so far, just like the car rip predicted, but
Speaker 2: Neil reminds her he'll pick a contest winner and they'll
Speaker 2: be on the road by Nune. Cut two. Oh geez,
Speaker 2: it's one twenty and she is still waiting as Sabrina's
Speaker 2: favorite dad is doing it again as if. Frustrated, Melissa
Speaker 2: makes her way out the door, she bumps into Wheeze.
Speaker 2: In their exchange, she mentions wordwhim, and the two get
Speaker 2: a little flirty, realizing they're both impressive whammers to meet
Speaker 2: jokes again. Not gonna get into that, they go their
Speaker 2: separate ways, and Wheeze, his little brother and his little
Speaker 2: brother's friend Andre make their way to a van. Back
Speaker 2: at the con, a presentation by a contestant trying to
Speaker 2: prove he's zoom enough ends with an explosionist slime and
Speaker 2: Weez's little brother emerging to tell Sheldon that the distractor
Speaker 2: is locked and loaded. Sheldon radio's wheeze, and the whole
Speaker 2: gang puts on safety goggles. But we have no idea
Speaker 2: what we're in for. Then Sheldon turns on a mysterious
Speaker 2: machine that starts churning onions, pushing the smell right into
Speaker 2: the convention, which makes me wonder if it's an odor thing,
Speaker 2: why do you need goggles? But the fan starts to
Speaker 2: become repulse by the odor. I guess if it's onions,
Speaker 2: you start to cry. I get that you'd be blinded. Okay,
Speaker 2: I that one makes No.
Speaker 1: Were you not, no, absolutely not, nope, no, no no.
Speaker 1: Were you not expecting these onions to start shooting out
Speaker 1: of something to do something?
Speaker 2: I didn't know. It's also the giant hose that he
Speaker 2: just lays at the bottom of the ground. No one
Speaker 2: sees the thirty five foot hose that's a foot in
Speaker 2: diameter that he just brings into the convention.
Speaker 1: Hey again, I don't know. No, no, it would not
Speaker 1: be looked at as we promise you.
Speaker 2: It's much smaller hoses with much fewer onions at rest. Oh,
Speaker 2: got it, Okay, So he turns on the machine. It
Speaker 2: starts churning onions. It pushes the smell into the convention.
Speaker 2: The fans start to become repulsed by the odor, but
Speaker 2: Melissa's safe outside talking to her friend on the phone.
Speaker 2: But inside everyone starts coughing and tearing up and again
Speaker 2: there are actual onion goggles. You can buy them on Amazon.
Speaker 2: They head for the doors, thinking it's a ventilation problem.
Speaker 2: Neil is also evacuating, but is approached by Andre and
Speaker 2: hold out the side door. This catches Skunk and Maurice's attention,
Speaker 2: who apparently also want a piece of Neil outside. In
Speaker 2: the move that has become as predictable as clockwork, Trip
Speaker 2: appears and continues to ridicule Melissa. She calls him a
Speaker 2: jerk and says soon he'll be walking out that door
Speaker 2: when vacation starts, but we know that won't happen anytime soon.
Speaker 2: In fact, Weees's brother is with Neil, introducing him to
Speaker 2: the tear jerker onion machine in person. It's actually one
Speaker 2: of his ideas, straight from the trip book, and Neil
Speaker 2: is impressed. Just as he's thrown into the van to
Speaker 2: meet Weez and Sheldon, they tie him to a seat
Speaker 2: with dental floss as Jensen had said, so maybe that
Speaker 2: explains the floss catchphrase. But as they speed away in
Speaker 2: this really expensive van, Skunk and Maurice Steele a uniform
Speaker 2: delivery truck to chase after him. This is their guy too.
Speaker 2: I'd also like to point out they stole this giant
Speaker 2: truck that they then have the entire movie, like, no
Speaker 2: one's gonna see them in this giant yellow stolen truck
Speaker 2: that they have for days days, But anyway, Melissa searches
Speaker 2: for her dad at the con but can't find him anywhere.
Speaker 2: She does notice a nearby surveillance camera and realizes this
Speaker 2: might help find her dad. MERV shows her the footage,
Speaker 2: and it shows her dad being kidnapped by random teens. Now,
Speaker 2: in response, she calls the local police to report a
Speaker 2: missing person, but the cops are skeptical and technically extraordinarily
Speaker 2: lazy and bad at their jobs. She's been told to
Speaker 2: wait forty eight hours to fill out a report. By
Speaker 2: the way, that is not accurate. You don't even need
Speaker 2: to wait the twenty four hours. You can report somebody
Speaker 2: missing immediately, just so you know. Just when she thinks
Speaker 2: there's nothing she can do, she's visited again. By imaginary trip.
Speaker 2: He's surprised she's not taking the opportunity to be trip herself,
Speaker 2: doing whatever she can to get her dad back, but
Speaker 2: she explains she hates trip. Zoom hits her again while
Speaker 2: she's down, saying that's why her dad writes about him
Speaker 2: and not her. Ouch weez. Sheldon and Andre are spinning
Speaker 2: around in the van with Neil flass. Okay, he's now
Speaker 2: flost and gagged in the back, so maybe that's what
Speaker 2: it is. It has to be flossed because they keep
Speaker 2: using the flas they're talking about mint and all this
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. It's very strange. This is when I've
Speaker 2: felt like, okay, yes, somebody dosed my drink. Skunk and
Speaker 2: Maurice's uniform truck trails very near by them until the
Speaker 2: van stopped. Then Skunk hops out and hides in a bush,
Speaker 2: slowly making his way to the hostage. We still don't
Speaker 2: know what's going on here. He's been dad napped at
Speaker 2: this point, with these now two other guys following in
Speaker 2: another giant stolen van. Now, while in the van, the
Speaker 2: kids reveal all the trip traps they use to abduct Neil,
Speaker 2: and he's actually very impressed. But also ready to be released. Instead,
Speaker 2: they stuffed the sock back in his mouth and say
Speaker 2: you wrote it, we do it. The van speeds off again,
Speaker 2: leaving skunk knocked out in the street. Somehow, Melissa, finally
Speaker 2: with some trip motivation, calls her dad's phone and Wee's
Speaker 2: answers and starts to explain the situation. He says, once
Speaker 2: Neil agrees to their one demand, they'll let him go.
Speaker 2: But wait, Melissa recognizes that voice. It's the word wham guy.
Speaker 2: He also puts two and two together, and just as
Speaker 2: a car wash employee comes up and asks what type
Speaker 2: of finish they want for their van, because of course,
Speaker 2: when you're abducting somebody, you stop to get your car
Speaker 2: car washed. Melissa hangs up and wonders if she just
Speaker 2: got a clue about their location. MERV, But now, why
Speaker 2: not just go through like a drive through, like, hey,
Speaker 2: we want to stop and get food. Who stops to
Speaker 2: get their car? MIRV appears and tells her where the
Speaker 2: nearest car wash is. We are now back at the
Speaker 2: car wash and the boys are putting some finishing touches
Speaker 2: on the van like you do. When Wees accidentally drops
Speaker 2: his word wham, guide and sees Melissa and Merv arrive
Speaker 2: in a red convertible, which is technically a nicer car
Speaker 2: than the millionaire author has by the way, but anyway.
Speaker 2: Melissa surveys a scene while Nerv makes a call back
Speaker 2: to the hotel, but while his attention is diverted, the
Speaker 2: kidnappers push his convertible into the car wash. Melissa and
Speaker 2: Merv try to stop it, but instead find themselves completely
Speaker 2: drenched and soapy from the wash. The car is filled
Speaker 2: with water. It's actually a very cool stunt. I've only
Speaker 2: seen maybe once or twice in a movie, but never
Speaker 2: to this extent, except maybe on a Podmets World movie
Speaker 2: that we recapped camp Nowhere. That's the only time it
Speaker 2: has been this full. It's usually like it gets a
Speaker 2: little full, but this they really filled up. I also
Speaker 2: don't buy that at fifteen, you know you're gonna you're
Speaker 2: gonna learn to drive in another year. You don't know
Speaker 2: where the break on a car is. I'm sorry, I
Speaker 2: don't drive that. She gets and she's like, I don't
Speaker 2: know where the break is. I don't buy that either.
Speaker 2: She's also very smart in the movie, so you're gonna
Speaker 2: know where the break just hit any pedals the car
Speaker 2: wasn't on. Eventually it'll stop. Melissa, sy, this is where
Speaker 2: you see. This is where I'm seeing. Yes, Sar, and
Speaker 2: break next to you. Anything hit a button. Melissa sees
Speaker 2: the dropped wordwham guide and notices it's a library book
Speaker 2: that is due today. We are now back in the
Speaker 2: kidnapper van, and Neil is losing his patience, but he
Speaker 2: also notices their library books are due today. What timing
Speaker 2: and weird? What a weird. He warns them of the
Speaker 2: late fees, and the group instantly makes a rush turn
Speaker 2: to avoid the fine. So they have no fear about
Speaker 2: kidnapping a grown man, but late fees, no way, not
Speaker 2: gonna happen. I am not paying a nickel. I'll do
Speaker 2: thirty in the slammer as I'm charged as an adult
Speaker 2: for kidnapping. But five cents on an overdoe book I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's great they're showing kids being responsible.
Speaker 3: Kind of.
Speaker 2: They're all wearing their seatbelts as they're mowing down pedestrians.
Speaker 2: And once the kidnappers do arrive at the library, they
Speaker 2: make an innocent deal with Neil if he shows them
Speaker 2: the book slap trip Trap, they'll release him. He agrees
Speaker 2: and starts the challenge in the library. So then, why
Speaker 2: did they kidnap him in the first place? Why did
Speaker 2: they kidnap him?
Speaker 1: What was the point of either of these groups? Kid
Speaker 1: No made zero sense, Like he was just.
Speaker 2: Saying, why did they dad nap this guy? I did
Speaker 2: not understand. It's like it was this amazingly planned out
Speaker 2: thing for nothing. Then we see the sudsy convertible arrive
Speaker 2: at the library too, still followed very closely. Nobody even
Speaker 2: held back slightly in this movie, followed closely by the
Speaker 2: uniform truck, and Melissa runs inside to get her dad,
Speaker 2: still being heckled by the piece of imaginary trip and
Speaker 2: Melissa enters the library trying to find her dad. Neil
Speaker 2: just finished the book trap for the next librarian to
Speaker 2: feel the effects. So apparently some poor librarian is going
Speaker 2: to get trip trapped, but Melissa blindly approaches, checks the
Speaker 2: book and is splashed with blue paint. The boy's applaud
Speaker 2: and Neil hugs's daughter, you found me. She's confused, I
Speaker 2: am too. What the fuff is happening? At this point?
Speaker 3: It swear what is going on?
Speaker 1: Will what what are we doing here?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I truly do not. At this point, I was looking
Speaker 2: around my room going like is this fake? Like this
Speaker 2: can't be it did? The story didn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: I rewound a little bit. Did I miss something? Okay,
Speaker 1: I did? Then I had to fast forward. I was like, yes,
Speaker 1: again I didn't get it.
Speaker 2: I just didn't understand it.
Speaker 1: But so again, all the characters, they're all great. Yes,
Speaker 1: the acting is fine.
Speaker 2: It's just this is why it felt like a Nickelodeon
Speaker 2: movie to me, which don't seem to be on the
Speaker 2: same level as the Disney movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he says, you found me, And now Neil
Speaker 2: is cool with his kidnappers, like he's Patty Hurst. They like,
Speaker 2: they haven't been cool with him at all.
Speaker 1: But if I walked up to where I'm scared as
Speaker 1: someone has my dad, I find him and he's like
Speaker 1: chumming it up, I would have walked up to him
Speaker 1: and been like, Dad, what the hell is going on here?
Speaker 2: What are you doing? What's doing going on? Let's go?
Speaker 1: Like, come on, it's time to go whatever, Like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so Melissa thought she was saving her dad,
Speaker 2: he admits he's been having fun with Sheldon Andre and
Speaker 2: Weeze has he He hasn't. It's Stockholm syndrome. That happened
Speaker 2: very quickly.
Speaker 1: Second in the library, and that was fun.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, Weez tells Melissa. They got off on the
Speaker 2: wrong foot, and they flirt some more, but she's had enough.
Speaker 2: She's ready to leave with her dad and start camping.
Speaker 2: He apologizes to his new crew and follows her out.
Speaker 2: Neil doesn't understand his daughter's angst. Somehow. She says she's
Speaker 2: been thinking of this vacation for weeks. She wanted everything
Speaker 2: to be perfect for them, but every time she's with
Speaker 2: her dad, he brings Trip along and everything is ruined.
Speaker 2: She argues that Trip Zoom is not a fictional character.
Speaker 2: He's a pain in her butt. Then Skunk and Maurice
Speaker 2: pop up, now in sheriff's uniforms Neil recognizes the duo
Speaker 2: as they try to cuff him. Remember this was buddy.
Speaker 1: They come up to him and they've got like karate
Speaker 1: ate and like where's your gun?
Speaker 2: Yeah? What have you got?
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 2: All the producers. Can you please isolate the sound of
Speaker 2: Sabrina saying karate hand jobs and send it to me immediately.
Speaker 2: Just I'm gonna need to have that on a perpetual loop.
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you very much, Blaye. So they're wearing
Speaker 2: sheriff's uniforms Neil recognizes the duo. They try to cuff them,
Speaker 2: only then boom, Melissa forces herself into the other cuff wee's.
Speaker 2: Sheldon and Andre watch the new bad guys put their
Speaker 2: father and daughter into their truck and decide to chase
Speaker 2: after them. He's now been dad napped twice. It's a
Speaker 2: double dad napping, and everybody knows you get double dad napped,
Speaker 2: have to get karate hand jobbed. So Sheldon decides to
Speaker 2: call the police station, but again the cup just keep
Speaker 2: it in fun, Sabrina. The cop doesn't believe anything regarding
Speaker 2: Neil Morris, and maybe this town just as a terrible
Speaker 2: police force. That's what it seems like. The gang realizes
Speaker 2: it's up to them and they very closely follow the
Speaker 2: laundry truck through the night, eventually landing at a creepy
Speaker 2: drive in Theaters where he follows them. Skunk and Maurice
Speaker 2: eventually throw their prisoners into their abandoned trailer and it's
Speaker 2: covered in notes. Neil and Melissa are getting scared. Obviously,
Speaker 2: Skunk has a knife, but also a plate of snacks.
Speaker 2: Neil assumes they want money, but Maurice has other plans.
Speaker 2: He reveals a notebook filled with papers for Lights Out Lenny,
Speaker 2: a book that his brother Skunk has been writing. Maurice
Speaker 2: wants a real writer to finish the book, and that's
Speaker 2: where Neil comes in. And until the book is fixed,
Speaker 2: they can't leave no matter how long it takes. So
Speaker 2: this is where it kind of turns into misery. Neil
Speaker 2: starts reading chapter one. Quote the sky was dark and
Speaker 2: the air was cold, and the man held the guns
Speaker 2: so tight his fingers felt like cheese unquote. Uh oh,
Speaker 2: this could take a while. As Neil works on the
Speaker 2: awful book, the brothers watch a public domain movie outside.
Speaker 2: Melissa says they need to make a distraction. Her dad
Speaker 2: isn't so sure. He doesn't want to risk her life
Speaker 2: on some silly plan. She's furious that her ideas are
Speaker 2: always quote unquote silly, yet everything he writes for Trip
Speaker 2: Zoom is genius. She wants to know why he doesn't
Speaker 2: write about her. He explains that his characters are larger
Speaker 2: than life, an extraordinary She tears up. She pushes back
Speaker 2: he doesn't know any of her interests. He's missed all
Speaker 2: of her dancer titles and knows nothing about her awards
Speaker 2: in writing. She wants him to finally admit it. Trip
Speaker 2: comes first, and just then we hear sirens. Everybody is spooked,
Speaker 2: but we know it's just the boys van. Skunk and
Speaker 2: Maurice don't know that, though, and they immediately grab their
Speaker 2: hostages and try to take off, but Melissa sneakily grabs
Speaker 2: a zoom book from Skunk's pile on their way out.
Speaker 2: Skunk then pushes the captives into the uniform van, telling
Speaker 2: Neil to keep writing. So he's going to be writing
Speaker 2: as they drive around in this big stolen van that's
Speaker 2: bright yellow and has now been missing for days. In
Speaker 2: the van, Melissa starts giving Skunk's book notes, and her
Speaker 2: dad actually agrees with everything she's suggesting. But when the
Speaker 2: uniform truck hits debris in the road, it shakes the
Speaker 2: car and Maurice spots his tail. He knows he's being followed,
Speaker 2: and he didn't even have to look in the they're
Speaker 2: three feet from they're the only two vans on the road,
Speaker 2: and they're right behind him, so he's following them. He
Speaker 2: quickly turns off road, putting them through a dirt obstacle. Course,
Speaker 2: Skunk opens the back door and starts doing what you do,
Speaker 2: throwing pants at them, eventually forcing them to avoid the
Speaker 2: clothing rack and boom, they're slammed into a ditch. Skunk
Speaker 2: celebrates as they leave their last possible detractors in the
Speaker 2: rear view. But just as things are looking good for
Speaker 2: the batties, they realize they're almost out of gas. Oh no,
Speaker 2: steal a bigger van next time. Melissa also announces she
Speaker 2: has to go to the bathroom. Unfortunately, Maurice doesn't trust her,
Speaker 2: but Skunk says he'll stand by the door when they
Speaker 2: make it to the gas station, and once they arrive,
Speaker 2: he does just that. He uncuffs her shot, He puts
Speaker 2: on a jacket and waits for her to either number one,
Speaker 2: number two, or number three. Sabrina, do you think it
Speaker 2: was one, two or three? What do you think? She
Speaker 2: set it up as number two? Don't you think? Yes? Okay,
Speaker 2: I thought so too.
Speaker 1: That's number three.
Speaker 2: If you don't know, I'm not gonna tell you. Just
Speaker 2: be lucky. We don't get to four and five once inside,
Speaker 2: it's number zero actually, as Melissa just surveys, Well, when
Speaker 2: you're full of it, that's when number four and five.
Speaker 2: Melissa just surveys the restroom, eventually seeing her imaginary zoom
Speaker 2: once again in the mirror. He explains he's just in
Speaker 2: her head, but she keeps him there, and this forces
Speaker 2: her to realize if he's in her head, then she
Speaker 2: can think like him. She reaches into her pocket and
Speaker 2: pulls out the trip books she stole from Skunk. She
Speaker 2: finds a page for the quote unquote presidential Pickle, which
Speaker 2: incidentally was my nickname in high school, and then she
Speaker 2: finds her lip glosses and circles the word presidential, leaving
Speaker 2: the paper jammed in a mirror.
Speaker 1: You circle it. Why wouldn't you just say what you
Speaker 1: wanted to say with me?
Speaker 2: You mean, right, we're in the presidential suite. They're taking
Speaker 2: us here.
Speaker 1: They're taking us here, because that's.
Speaker 2: Not confusing, and this movie is confusing, Sabrina. Why you've
Speaker 2: got you've got pen and ink and you just circle
Speaker 2: one way? She circled the word, and we've got to
Speaker 2: go find her, like, yeah, why not just write they've
Speaker 2: taken us to the presidential suite on the mirror something
Speaker 2: maybe here, Okay, play to play Devil's advocate. Maybe she
Speaker 2: thought she had to do it that way, so if
Speaker 2: he walked in to check to see if she'd left
Speaker 2: any clues, it wouldn't be that blatant. I don't again,
Speaker 2: I'm going for a stretch. I think it's just because
Speaker 2: it's supposed to be confusing. Yeah, so she jams at
Speaker 2: leaving the Okay, she exits with a long piece of
Speaker 2: toilet paper stuck to her shoe, leaving a trail to
Speaker 2: the truck. She removes her jacket, tosses it to the floor,
Speaker 2: and get back in the handcuffs shot for the drive. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: Maurice is on the phone defending his actions to someone.
Speaker 2: Maybe they aren't the bosses of this plan after all.
Speaker 2: They drive off and Neil returns to writing the book
Speaker 2: again in the back, until Melissa argues that he needs
Speaker 2: better conditions to write, and Maurice actually agrees. They're just
Speaker 2: going to go back to the hotel. Which how did
Speaker 2: we know that? After the already all right, she already
Speaker 2: she circled them? Just then, Andre, Andre, Sheldon and Wheeze
Speaker 2: stumble on the drive through They see Melissa's jacket the
Speaker 2: trail of toilet paper from the bathroom and find her
Speaker 2: page with presidential circleed, but Pickle, of course, was sadly ignored.
Speaker 2: Weez smells her lip gloss on the paper and knows
Speaker 2: it's Melissa. Shelter reveals that his idea. He thinks it's
Speaker 2: a clue for a pickle farm, but Andre knows this
Speaker 2: means presidential suite, and they leave for the hotel again.
Speaker 2: Would it just been easier to write they took us
Speaker 2: back to the hotel. The uniform truck arrives back at
Speaker 2: this hotel and they're greeted by the real bad guy,
Speaker 2: their boss, Mirv. That's right, it's a hotel owner all along.
Speaker 2: He helped Melissa earlier, but all it did was lead
Speaker 2: him to her dad. Now he tells his henchman to
Speaker 2: get me into his room to finish the new book.
Speaker 2: What a turn of events? Did you see this coming?
Speaker 2: Did you know Burv was gonna be the bad guy?
Speaker 1: I at this point I've forgotten about him, I really did.
Speaker 2: I knew at the second game on screen he was
Speaker 2: all gonna be of course it was gonna be Merv.
Speaker 2: Of course it was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I know, I truly was like, I
Speaker 1: can't believe they have Jason Earl and they've barely used him,
Speaker 1: Like what the heck?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like he's.
Speaker 1: Hilarious, funny, all of them on the castAR. But yeah,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have them in this movie and just give
Speaker 1: him this teeny tidy roll.
Speaker 2: What Yeah. No, so they get to see him. It's
Speaker 2: MERVS here and we're now in Merv's room. It looks
Speaker 2: like a seventies bachelor pad. I loved his room, by
Speaker 2: the way, outdated and swanky. It was the best.
Speaker 1: It was such a good set. It was such a
Speaker 1: good set.
Speaker 2: This is where, so Melissa follow me through. This is
Speaker 2: handcuffed to the hanging egg chair shot and Neil is
Speaker 2: placed in front of a laptop. Okay, but now we're back.
Speaker 2: Keep that in mind. Keep that in mind. We're now
Speaker 2: back on the road. The boys have forced a pizza
Speaker 2: delivery guy from Ralph's Pizza Shack to bring them to
Speaker 2: the hotel. Also, the pizza has the best cross in town,
Speaker 2: and for some reason, they dance and listen to cool
Speaker 2: music on the way in their car. Back at the hotel,
Speaker 2: Melissa notices a sketch for the MERV and how does
Speaker 2: she notice this by getting up and walking around? Wait,
Speaker 2: she was just handcuffed to the chair. Hello, not ere,
Speaker 2: She's just not anymore. There's bad handcuffs, or she just
Speaker 2: doesn't want to be in them anymore. So she notices
Speaker 2: sketches for the MERV an idea for an expensive Vegas
Speaker 2: like high rise redesign of this particular hotel, and apparently
Speaker 2: this is his motivation to do this whole plot, which
Speaker 2: makes no sense. Somehow, Skunk is getting better at writing,
Speaker 2: and Melissa and Neil are bonding his father and daughter
Speaker 2: in the same process. The next day, now the hotel
Speaker 2: convention is still bumping with book fans and is as
Speaker 2: messy as ever. The pizza man finally arrives too, So
Speaker 2: where were they coming from if the other people got
Speaker 2: there so much faster? But dropping off our teens? How
Speaker 2: are they driving through the night? Okay, by this point
Speaker 2: I'm just going okay, let the colors wash over me.
Speaker 2: Back inside, Melissa's finishing off the book while Maurice and
Speaker 2: her dad sleep with Skunk. Also in the shower, she
Speaker 2: sees an opportunity trip appears, but she's so sick of
Speaker 2: him only talking in catchphrases, but still asks him what
Speaker 2: he thinks of her plan, But she knows the answer.
Speaker 2: She found the confidence within herself. She has a good plan, Foss. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: the boys barging to the presidential suite, only to realize
Speaker 2: Melissa and her dad aren't there. Where is she? Then
Speaker 2: Sheldon redeems himself and figures it out. It's like the
Speaker 2: climax from Zoom Time Boom Time. I think it's called
Speaker 2: the Signal of strength. It is a signal Zoom uses
Speaker 2: to lead the cloned rebels to his location. Weez realizes
Speaker 2: she's brilliant and Andre warns him if you don't ask
Speaker 2: her out, I will, which was a very funny line.
Speaker 2: They just need to find the signal, and they need
Speaker 2: to find it. Now we are back on the con stage.
Speaker 2: There's a Zoom debate going on until Weez and Andre
Speaker 2: break it up. They announced that Neil is in trouble
Speaker 2: and he needs the Zoomer's help, Floss. Unfortunately, Merv hears
Speaker 2: all of this and now knows he must stop this
Speaker 2: group from obviously going and wrecking his master plan, the
Speaker 2: plan of which we still don't know what the hell
Speaker 2: is actually going on. This is where we get a
Speaker 2: montage to yet another pop song, now with a poncho
Speaker 2: sporting group of Zoomers making water balloons, mixing paint, and
Speaker 2: creating new trip traps throughout the city for their plan.
Speaker 2: Later on, Melissa still needs to figure out what her
Speaker 2: signal's going to be that's important, but her dad reveals
Speaker 2: that a lot of trip is actually based on her.
Speaker 2: She's in the plot, she's in the humor, she's in
Speaker 2: the heart, and she is the reason that he writes.
Speaker 2: This beautiful moment is interrupted by Merv, who just needs
Speaker 2: this book finished. He knows a Zoomer firestorm is brewing outside,
Speaker 2: and Melissa just wants to know what this is all about.
Speaker 2: Merv says that he cares about what her dad writes,
Speaker 2: not what Skunk's been doing. He wants now try to
Speaker 2: follow me here because hopefully as I read this out,
Speaker 2: I'll understand it too. He wants to sell the manuscript
Speaker 2: to the new and last Neil Morris book to fund
Speaker 2: his new hotel idea, and until that book is perfect,
Speaker 2: Neil won't see his princess and locks Melissa in the bathroom. Now,
Speaker 2: even Skunk and Maurice are little disturbed this isn't what
Speaker 2: they signed up for, but MERV says they're looking at
Speaker 2: jail time either way, so they better do what he says.
Speaker 2: So he wants to hold this guy, have him write
Speaker 2: his last book, not what Skunk wants, kill him, sell
Speaker 2: the book rights, and then build a hotel. That's the
Speaker 2: Disney Channel plan, folks, that's the plan.
Speaker 1: Where we're at.
Speaker 2: This is where we are. This is when by this
Speaker 2: point I think I was looking at everything else in
Speaker 2: my room going like, oh, that needs to be cleaned up.
Speaker 2: It was, yes, it's just okay. So outside we're back
Speaker 2: outside now the Zoomers are ready to go. As Melissa
Speaker 2: paces the bathroom, she needs to give them the signal.
Speaker 2: She pulls down a shower curtain and starts raiding the
Speaker 2: medicine cabinet, working quickly to create something. Eventually, she writes
Speaker 2: a very large Z on the sheet and places it
Speaker 2: outside the window, giving the group the signal that they need.
Speaker 2: They immediately then storm the hotel. Which again, why not
Speaker 2: just lean out the window and say come get me,
Speaker 2: or write something else on the thing. But anyway, they
Speaker 2: storm the hotel, slingshotting super stinky cheese bombs right into
Speaker 2: Mirv and his hotel plans. It's an all out attack,
Speaker 2: water balloon, spray guns, paint, toilet paper. It's actually really
Speaker 2: disgusting and gross. It reminds me very much of Nickelodeon stuff.
Speaker 2: This might be the dirtiest movie we've seen yet, and
Speaker 2: it forces Merv to retreat, grabbing Neil and Melissa for
Speaker 2: an escape, but they quickly realize every route is blocked
Speaker 2: by zoomers and they're attacking from every direction. The fans
Speaker 2: steal off the streets while Melissa loses her captors with
Speaker 2: a slip slap zoom trap and reunites with weez to
Speaker 2: dental floss up Skunk and Maurice. So yeah, floss floss
Speaker 2: maybe that is what it is, but they never explained that.
Speaker 2: At the beginning, the only bad guy left is Merv.
Speaker 2: He still has Neil and is trying to just get
Speaker 2: to his car, but that's when Sheldon spots him again,
Speaker 2: making up for that one time he had a stupid
Speaker 2: idea and wanted to go to the pickle farm. He
Speaker 2: yells charge and it's a full on brave heart attack.
Speaker 2: Hundreds of kids turn the corner and they ambush Nerve
Speaker 2: until he's trapped, but he fakes his retreat and runs
Speaker 2: away again. He's still getting away, but as he's about
Speaker 2: to round a corner, more recent Skunk still flost up
Speaker 2: see the mob coming, and for their own redemptions, Skunk
Speaker 2: tells his brother to spin and they create a trip wire,
Speaker 2: forcing Merv to fall into what can only be described
Speaker 2: as a large pile of coalslaw, that's there for some
Speaker 2: reason that I don't understand. Do you understand what that?
Speaker 2: What the reason for that was? What do you think me?
Speaker 1: At this point that I lost me?
Speaker 2: It was, yes, okay, I'm glad I wasn't the only one.
Speaker 1: It was like really pushing of just.
Speaker 2: Trying to get through this at this point. This was
Speaker 2: a rough one for me. I'll be honest, it was.
Speaker 1: And it sucked because I want to love all of
Speaker 1: the movies that we watch, you know, and then the
Speaker 1: cast is cast is so good and I love Paul
Speaker 1: Howen and yes, like the whole time, and I'm going,
Speaker 1: am I just a bad mood right now?
Speaker 2: Like I thought the same thing.
Speaker 1: I just like not wanting.
Speaker 2: So funny you say that I thought the same thing, Like.
Speaker 1: Am I just in a mood? Like? Is that is
Speaker 1: that what's happening?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and no, it just this did not feel like
Speaker 2: dcom at all. It felt like a bad Nickelodeon movie. Yes,
Speaker 2: you know, like the vibe was just wrong.
Speaker 1: I also watched Nickelodeon growing up, but like it wasn't
Speaker 1: as on the caliber for me as like the Disney story.
Speaker 2: Agree, agreed, And this felt like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so it was strange. Strange.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So the kids celebrate as the real police finally
Speaker 2: arrive and with no sign of the lazy cop, who,
Speaker 2: of course, could have ended this movie an hour ago. Now, yep,
Speaker 2: but we're thank you. We are now back at the convention,
Speaker 2: without the threat of evil looming. Neil speaks to his fans.
Speaker 2: He thanks them for their triptastic efforts. Everyone there will
Speaker 2: get a signed copy of his next book. He also
Speaker 2: says it's time to reward the winner of the Zoom
Speaker 2: Enough Prize. He picks Andre Sheldon and Wieze, some guys
Speaker 2: who really stepped up in the face of danger, ignoring
Speaker 2: the fact that they were actually his first kidnappers and
Speaker 2: definitely had awful intentions, and put socks in his mouth repeatedly.
Speaker 2: But who cares, as We's then yells reading rocks, good message,
Speaker 2: weird way to say it. Zoom appears once again for Melissa,
Speaker 2: but instead of getting into their normal war of words,
Speaker 2: she thanks him. She couldn't have done it without him,
Speaker 2: but he's not hearing it. She did it, She did
Speaker 2: it all on her own. And Neil announces he has
Speaker 2: one more prize for his inspiration. He's awarding his daughter.
Speaker 2: That's right, there, you go. She gets the prize. She's
Speaker 2: been the inspiration for everything. The fans give her a
Speaker 2: standing ovation as the father and daughter embrace on stage.
Speaker 2: The crowd chance Floss as a handcuffed shot Skunk and
Speaker 2: Maurice watch on. Skunk is still optimistic. Dostoyevsky wrote some
Speaker 2: really cool stuff while in the Slammer, and just like that,
Speaker 2: they're taken away to prison. It's finally time for Neila
Speaker 2: Melissa's vacation. Wheeze shyly gives her his number in case
Speaker 2: she wants to, you know, go out. She says yes,
Speaker 2: but makes him promise it'll be a normal date. No
Speaker 2: weird costumes, no dental floss, and no police intervention. That's
Speaker 2: a pretty lame date if you ask me. He agrees,
Speaker 2: and hey, man, if you're not wearing kattumes and using
Speaker 2: dental floss for something you didn't get lucky that night.
Speaker 2: He agrees, and then the Morris duo drive off as
Speaker 2: the Zoomers once again chant floss, and then we get bloopers,
Speaker 2: but not even the bloopers weren't good. It's just characters
Speaker 2: getting hit in the face with slime and dowse with water.
Speaker 2: As the credits pass by and we hear Emily Osmond's
Speaker 2: en track called hero in Me. Did you know at
Speaker 2: the time this was an Emily Ozma song. Oh that's
Speaker 2: cool and that is our movie.
Speaker 1: There we go.
Speaker 2: I figured, yeah, I kind of did too, but at
Speaker 2: that point my ears were on fire and my eyes
Speaker 2: were bleeding. So, okay, this was a rough one for me, folks,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, this was a really rough one for me.
Speaker 1: Just hate it. Especially talking to Jason.
Speaker 2: I know what you mean. You hate that. You don't
Speaker 2: like them as much as we don't like them, you know.
Speaker 1: But even himself he said when he read it it
Speaker 1: was weird. Yeah, when they did it, it felt weird.
Speaker 2: But here's the thing, we have to be Okay, I
Speaker 2: don't care if you've got five dollars or five hundred million.
Speaker 2: Some movies are gonna be good, and some movies are
Speaker 2: gonna be not that great, and some movies are gonna
Speaker 2: be terrible, and there's gonna be everything in between. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that we are getting spoiled by some of these movies.
Speaker 2: A because I know I'm watching them in the wrong
Speaker 2: state of mind, and I know that they're good movies
Speaker 2: for what they're supposed to be, And I'm trying to
Speaker 2: get better at being like, this is a good movie.
Speaker 2: I'm just being a jerk about it because I'm watching
Speaker 2: it in the wrong frame of mind or whatever. And
Speaker 2: this is actually a good movie for what it's supposed
Speaker 2: to be. That being said, some of these just aren't
Speaker 2: gonna be good movies. Yeah, And this just wasn't a
Speaker 2: good great cast, great director, It looked nice, Yeah, but
Speaker 2: the story and the script were terrible.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I don't understand the movies. I don't understand the motivation
Speaker 2: for kidnapping either time. None of it made any sense.
Speaker 2: They didn't explain anything. It just wasn't a good It just.
Speaker 1: Didn't hit the mark. And that is what's so.
Speaker 2: It's so rare to be this off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, to be this off. It just is so rare,
Speaker 1: and it's like, what's sucks for me? What I think
Speaker 1: I start why I think? I was like almost getting irritated?
Speaker 1: Is this movie? You know? Within this time while they
Speaker 1: were filming this was Disney's way to give the kids
Speaker 1: on their channel that aren't the number one on the
Speaker 1: call sheet, right, they're the twos, the threes, the fours, whatever,
Speaker 1: giving them an opportunity to have a shining light on them.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: So I really had high hopes that this was going
Speaker 1: to be just such a great movie because I'm sure
Speaker 1: the kids appreciated it. I'm sure their parents did you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like all of that, like it
Speaker 1: was it should it was set up to be something
Speaker 1: really great and again and am I just in a
Speaker 1: bad mood right now? I'm just not interested in watching this?
Speaker 1: Or did I set my expectations just too high? Like
Speaker 1: I kept trying to make it my fault, but it
Speaker 1: was like, but I'm lost, I'm lost and this isn't
Speaker 1: like making sense, and so you know we'll get to
Speaker 1: my sacs subritis ses are more so like suggestion.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, I know, no I will, I will
Speaker 2: say this. I I was very impressed with Emily Osma. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I thought for what they gave her, I thought she
Speaker 2: she did great. They should have had her star and
Speaker 2: a number of other d coms because she They didn't
Speaker 2: give her a whole lot and she every beat was
Speaker 2: real and you easily could have made this where this
Speaker 2: was like, this was terrible, but she was great. So
Speaker 2: there's there's some bright lights. But yes, this was a
Speaker 2: tough one. Well let's see what other people thought about it,
Speaker 2: and let's do our real reviews. Do you want the
Speaker 2: five star, the one start? You want the one?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: I will take the five star and the five star
Speaker 2: is written by our old friend who Noma is back.
Speaker 2: Here we go. Everyone experiences being written as a book.
Speaker 2: Every day we realize something is always missing. But in
Speaker 2: fact it was beside us all along. Treasure someone you
Speaker 2: love and never let it go away without regrets. Five star.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure the person even saw the movie, but
Speaker 2: there you go. Can you give us the one star?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yes, the one star was from Zachary. Oh why
Speaker 1: are you kidnapping dads?
Speaker 2: It's a logical question. One star? Okay, Well we are
Speaker 2: gonna come to the fun part. My favorite and of
Speaker 2: course bring his favorite part of the podcast. We are
Speaker 2: doing our future game this week, and our future game
Speaker 2: this week is called lit or Miss. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Producer Jensen can come up with him, Kenny. We're gonna
Speaker 2: be giving the names of classical books and four choices
Speaker 2: of authors. If we get three of five authors correctly,
Speaker 2: we win. I'm gonna let you pick first every time
Speaker 2: because I just glanced at them and I think I
Speaker 2: know the answer to.
Speaker 1: All do you? Yes? Damn it?

Speaker 2: Prejudice was Pride and Prejudice written by A. Emily Dickinson, B.
Speaker 2: Jane Austen see Charlotte Bronte or D Judy Blue.

Speaker 2: U C. Charlotte Bronte is who you think? Okay? I'm
Speaker 2: pretty sure Pride and Prejudice is actually a Jane Austen novel.
Speaker 2: It's b chance, it's okay, number per chance. Number two,
Speaker 2: Moby Dick was that a Mark Twain, B. William Faulkner,
Speaker 2: c Herman Melville or D. Dan brown S. D Oh

Speaker 2: Dan Brown where it's like Moby Dick is actually you
Speaker 2: know Jesus's dad.
Speaker 4: B.
Speaker 2: William Faukner. Okay, I'm gonna go with the right answer,
Speaker 2: which is C Herman Melville. Now percentage wise the next
Speaker 2: one she's supposed to get just percentage why supposed to get? Oh, no,
Speaker 2: number three, to kill a mockingbird?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm asking percentage.

Speaker 2: Lee or D. Jackie Collins.
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh, I don't know, I have no a.
Speaker 3: Oh the percentages failed us. It is C.
Speaker 2: Harper Lee. Is the answer to to kill a mockingbird?
Speaker 2: She was? She was Truman Capote's assistant, and that was
Speaker 2: the book. She went off and wrote on her own.
Speaker 3: It is, by the way, it is harder to get
Speaker 3: zero right then it would be to get all five
Speaker 3: percentage wise. Number four.
Speaker 1: The fact that you get so much joy Jensen of
Speaker 1: creating this bolt is just insane.
Speaker 3: I don't know which joy as much as.

Speaker 2: Emily Sola See Gustave Flaubert or d Jim Davis. Hey,
Speaker 2: you're gonna go a day. It is A.
Speaker 3: She just needed to not hear the names. What she
Speaker 3: got right is pick a letter A, B or C.

Speaker 3: boss for alcome.
Speaker 1: Shame.
Speaker 2: But by the way, Jensen, I'm gonna need a copy
Speaker 2: of Moby Dick written by Dan Brown.
Speaker 3: Sounds like a job for chat GBT.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, producer Jensen for once again making
Speaker 2: my day. That is absolutely wonderful. Can we do some
Speaker 2: Sabrina sees.
Speaker 1: Yes, please, We've got to get past this. Okay, So well,
Speaker 1: we basically talked about every single one that was on it.
Speaker 1: Just the question of the craziness one of the things
Speaker 1: that I, honestly, I'm so glad you brought up. How
Speaker 1: we did not see that kind of idea of an
Speaker 1: action play of the book so that we got a
Speaker 1: little bit more. That would have been an easy way
Speaker 1: for them to give us the information of these holes.
Speaker 1: And again I don't know, I would assume that they did,
Speaker 1: but for some reason pulled them out. It has to be.
Speaker 1: But the only one we didn't talk about was, you know,
Speaker 1: we did like that would explain floss, because floss is
Speaker 1: not explained at all, how he uses flaws, why floss
Speaker 1: is a thing would be done easily by just doing
Speaker 1: a quick scene with him with the floss and why
Speaker 1: these kids are using floss to tie people up and whatever.
Speaker 1: And then I did notice the handcuff situation. I thought
Speaker 1: that was a second one of she thinks back about
Speaker 1: something that her dad wrote in the movie of how
Speaker 1: he gotten out of handcuffs before, and that's how she
Speaker 1: gets out of it.
Speaker 2: That would have been nice to see.
Speaker 1: The only thing we didn't see or didn't talk about,
Speaker 1: but that was like an extra thing, like using that
Speaker 1: as a way to explain some of the stuff that
Speaker 1: I get it. You're you're trying to keep it quick
Speaker 1: and moving, but like it would have been a little
Speaker 1: bit helpful. But I did have to ask you, do
Speaker 1: you feel like you were triggered because it's all around
Speaker 1: this con thing that you go to and you know
Speaker 1: the ins and outs of it.
Speaker 2: Like, well, it just was it just it seemed to
Speaker 2: be written by somebody who's never really been to a
Speaker 2: con That's what I mean. Yeah, that's some of it
Speaker 2: is that you know, like the stuff they do on stage,
Speaker 2: if they have a contest or something, that stuff can happen.
Speaker 2: People dressing up, that stuff can clearly happen. Nobody's throwing
Speaker 2: slime and stuff all over the place at a convention.
Speaker 2: That doesn't happen. Also, the author of the book would
Speaker 2: be sitting behind a desk with his book set up,
Speaker 2: and there'd be a line of people waiting to meet
Speaker 2: him and sign there. He's not just what You're not
Speaker 2: just randomly walking around signing autographs at a convention. You're like,
Speaker 2: you have a table set up and people come and
Speaker 2: talk to you and do so they were let's say
Speaker 2: if I'm being generous, they were playing it fast and
Speaker 2: loose with the con world.
Speaker 1: Okay, y, yes, which I think for some you know,
Speaker 1: I what it seems like. Again, I've never done it,
Speaker 1: but I watched Big Bang Theory all the time. They
Speaker 1: talk about cons a lot, and a lot of the
Speaker 1: people go are like really huge and amazing fans and
Speaker 1: so awesome. I would think that this would be like
Speaker 1: something that they'd be like, that's not how it is
Speaker 1: at all, Like what you know, it would be like
Speaker 1: somebody who does right for Big Bang to not ever
Speaker 1: go to them like yeah, I mean.
Speaker 2: Again, they got some of it right, but a lot
Speaker 2: of it not right, just way way off. And I
Speaker 2: want to take you to one because they are so
Speaker 2: much fun and so inclusive and everybody's welcome and everybody
Speaker 2: can just be weird and nerdy. It's the greatest thing.
Speaker 1: It's awesome, so fun, so fun, you know. But I
Speaker 1: feel like that that was something that was kind of going,
Speaker 1: I bet you will so irritate. It can't be this
Speaker 1: can't be what it's like like it just you know.
Speaker 1: And then I was also we like, as the author
Speaker 1: of the thing that they're all coming like it's very unsafe.
Speaker 1: He has like no security like of any sort, like
Speaker 1: not walking around, not how it's done, you know, and
Speaker 1: staying at that same hotel, like people could walk that happens.
Speaker 2: That happened. Oh there's times where you're you're staying at
Speaker 2: the hotel where the convention actually takes place, and you're
Speaker 2: riding in the elevator with all the fans and all
Speaker 2: that stuff. That's actually that thing happened. That happens quite often.
Speaker 1: I could follow you to your room.
Speaker 3: I mean, you have weird things. Had major problems with
Speaker 3: Danielle before.
Speaker 2: Not just Danielle. I've had people follow me to different countries, like.
Speaker 1: When we oh my god, oh yeah, no, I got it.
Speaker 1: Can be back when we were on tour, it was
Speaker 1: so important of where we like, it was to the
Speaker 1: point where we had to like take a van away
Speaker 1: from the bus and get dropped off because if they
Speaker 1: followed our bus, then now we're like, you know, in
Speaker 1: a hotel room with somebody.
Speaker 2: And you know how many times that we were on
Speaker 2: tour for Podney's World Live or would there be a
Speaker 2: group of people waiting in the lobby for us.
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, no, that is so unsafe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, anyway, that's real. That happens a lot. Wow, okay,
Speaker 2: all right, we weren't staying at the murk, but that's
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 1: I think. God yeah, I mean Adrian had her entire
Speaker 1: luggage stolen by like one of the fans that was
Speaker 1: out like it saw us come in and our the
Speaker 1: assistant was like taking you know, the fans supposed to
Speaker 1: put it on a bell hop and like literally she
Speaker 1: on tour had no clothes nothing.
Speaker 2: That's the thing is ninety nine point nine percent of
Speaker 2: the fans you meet are the nicest, the best, coolest, Yes,
Speaker 2: just you just want to hang out with them. They're respectful,
Speaker 2: they're the greatest people in the world. It's that tinye
Speaker 2: point one percent.
Speaker 1: But the problem is that point one percent stays with
Speaker 1: you forever. Yeah, you never forget that. Those those very
Speaker 1: small and very far between. Oh yeah, very very small
Speaker 1: for sure, you know. Wow.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, can we read our our options
Speaker 2: for this week? Yeah, I'm not gonna make a joke
Speaker 2: on it. One to ten, one bad, ten good. Uh.
Speaker 2: Our options this week one out of ten Spoiler Book reports,
Speaker 2: one out of ten legally acceptable scrabble ripoffs onion smells
Speaker 2: floss floss flosses one out of ten, book splat trip traps,
Speaker 2: one out of ten, Stockholm syndromes, one out of ten,
Speaker 2: double kidnappings, presidential pickles, one out of ten, best pizza
Speaker 2: cross in town, or one out of ten large piles
Speaker 2: of coleslaw. I think I get to pick this week,
Speaker 2: don't I do? And just because it's so difficult to say,
Speaker 2: I want to do one out of ten book slap books. Ye,
Speaker 2: screw book splat trip traps.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, I think you went first last week.
Speaker 2: If I did, I believe I did.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm going to go first. And this was
Speaker 1: rough because again I have such so much love and
Speaker 1: so much respect for these acts, and I freaking love
Speaker 1: me some Paul Owen. This was tough for me. There
Speaker 1: was too many holes for me to even enjoy it
Speaker 1: at all at times. But the cast was phenomenal and
Speaker 1: they did a great job, so that bumps it up
Speaker 1: for me a little bit. I'm giving this a five
Speaker 1: point five book slap trap traps into that way, five
Speaker 1: five point five book slap traps.
Speaker 2: There you go. Yeah, the the cast saved it a
Speaker 2: little bit, but not enough for me. This was this
Speaker 2: was I mean, it just was all over the place.
Speaker 2: This was such a strange movie. Again, great cast, I
Speaker 2: didn't even think about this before you said it. You're
Speaker 2: one hundred percent right. It was a great opportunity for
Speaker 2: the seconds and thirds on the call sheets to have
Speaker 2: something to do, and they all did great with what
Speaker 2: they were given. But the problem is what they were
Speaker 2: given was not good. So yeah, this is this is
Speaker 2: to be a four for me four booksplat Trip Traps.
Speaker 2: This just this was not a good movie. And some
Speaker 2: of them aren't gonna be good. And I think most
Speaker 2: people know that we're fans, and fans don't want to
Speaker 2: be I don't want to sit here in bash Disney.
Speaker 2: I don't want to bash actors that we like, and
Speaker 2: not every movie is gonna be good, and this, unfortunately
Speaker 2: is you know, we're gonna be able to count on
Speaker 2: one hand with four fingers left over the amount of
Speaker 2: Paul Hoan movies that aren't good on the Disney Channel.
Speaker 1: Seriously, this is and I think it goes to show too.
Speaker 1: Like we've talked to now Paul and Jason Earles, this
Speaker 1: what I don't think this is something they look back
Speaker 1: at super fondly either like thinking it was you know, like,
Speaker 1: I don't feel like they felt like this was their
Speaker 1: They mean, at least neither of them mentioned this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, And I think they both just think it's
Speaker 2: just weird because it's it is. It's just weird. It's
Speaker 2: fever dreamish, nothing makes sense, nothing comes back. Wait, why
Speaker 2: are they even kidnapping it? It is a very strange
Speaker 2: movie all the way around. Yeah, yeah, well so okay, Well,
Speaker 2: thank you everybody for joining us for our next movie.
Speaker 2: We're actually only gonna go back for a few years
Speaker 2: for a more recent edition of the collection. It's twenty

Speaker 2: Hannah Banana, And we talk about everything. It was a really,
Speaker 2: really fun conversation. It really was. Here is a small
Speaker 2: taste of what's to come.
Speaker 4: I did a bunch of extra work for Disney before
Speaker 4: I ever booked anything.
Speaker 1: And really that's cool if.
Speaker 4: You watch that, So Raven, I'm in a ton of that,
Speaker 4: So Raven, including my favorite behind the scenes thing of
Speaker 4: there was I think it was an episode where she
Speaker 4: was like running for student office or something and they
Speaker 4: were supposed to be an auditorium full of students, but
Speaker 4: like on a Disney budget sometimes there's nine, there was
Speaker 4: literally like twenty of us, right, and we wore our
Speaker 4: stuff and we sat in a section, and then we
Speaker 4: went and we changed our clothes and they sat that's
Speaker 4: another section. And then so when you look at the scene,
Speaker 4: like there's a shot where I'm in like four places.
Speaker 1: It's in port of an outfit.
Speaker 4: It's fantastic.
