Speaker 1: How tired are you right now, Sarena.
Speaker 2: I am so tired.
Speaker 1: I'm so tired. I'm so tired.
Speaker 3: I mean, geez, I am just living off the Starbucks
Speaker 3: at this point, trying to just keep my head above water.
Speaker 1: Man, at least you're lucky that you do caffeine. I
Speaker 1: haven't had caffeine in like twenty Caffeine makes it instantly
Speaker 1: gives me panic attacks. So I do all this without caffeine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's crazy. Yeah, it's I've also come to realize though,
Speaker 1: as I'm talking to more adults, which I'm sadly starting
Speaker 1: to realize I'm becoming. Not there yet, but on the way.
Speaker 1: At forty eight, almost forty nine years old, everybody's tired
Speaker 1: all the time.
Speaker 3: Yes, Like just every day you're going, okay, if I
Speaker 3: just get through today, tomorrow's going to be great.
Speaker 2: And then tomorrow comes and you're like.
Speaker 1: Damn, yeah, justice, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Where you finish one project or one thing that you
Speaker 3: know is what's kind of the height of your anxiety,
Speaker 3: the height of like everything, and then the next thing
Speaker 3: comes in, which is great.
Speaker 2: I love being busy, but it's just me too.
Speaker 1: Right now.
Speaker 2: This time of the year for me is like there's
Speaker 2: just so much going on.
Speaker 3: But then I think, yeah, but in September I start
Speaker 3: choreographing and I start doing like that's a crazy time.
Speaker 3: I'm just like, then it's the holidays, and then bam,
Speaker 3: we're in the next year.
Speaker 1: Nop happens all I asked. I've been starting to ask
Speaker 1: my friends, like, when's the last time you woke up
Speaker 1: in the morning. We went like, oh, I what a
Speaker 1: great night's sleep. I feel great, and they're like, I
Speaker 1: haven't done that since I was fourteen, And it's true.
Speaker 1: It just that doesn't happen where you wake up like,
Speaker 1: oh my man, what a damn ready to tackle the day.
Speaker 1: Like no, it's just I'm constantly rolling out of bed
Speaker 1: and just tired all the time. And oh my god,
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 2: It's one of the things I love doing with rewatching
Speaker 2: these movies.
Speaker 3: The one time I forced myself to sit on the
Speaker 3: couch and.
Speaker 2: Just watch a movie, right.
Speaker 3: It's so nice because even when I'm watching TV, I'm
Speaker 3: usually doing laundry or getting food ready for the kids,
Speaker 3: or you know, just cleaning the house. I'm still doing that.
Speaker 3: I never really like enjoy watching like TV anymore. I
Speaker 3: just don't get a chance to.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, I think it's not just that we don't
Speaker 1: get a chance to. I think also with social media
Speaker 1: and the fact that we're on our phones all the time,
Speaker 1: our attention spans have become so small that sitting down
Speaker 1: and watching a ninety minute movie, it's like I have
Speaker 1: to do nine other things. I can't just sit here
Speaker 1: and watch a movie. Yeah, but that's a wonderful segue
Speaker 1: back to where we are. So welcome back to Magical
Speaker 1: Rewind everyone, the show that makes you want to grab
Speaker 1: your friends, your pgs and your popcorn and go back
Speaker 1: to your time. And all the houses were smart, the
Speaker 1: wave tsunamis and you slept the entire night through.
Speaker 2: I'm Wilford Dell and I'm Suprina Brian.
Speaker 1: Break out those baseballs and meatballs. Yes, we are finally
Speaker 1: tackling a movie who's jarring title has haunted us for
Speaker 1: over a year. It's two thousand and threes comedic study
Speaker 1: of gender Eddie's Million Dollar Cookoff. And if you think
Speaker 1: the title is shocking, wait till you see the movie
Speaker 1: poster itself. The image is by far the most unhinged
Speaker 1: we've encountered. Yet it depicts a young baseball player at bat.
Speaker 1: This is Eddie of course, and his father Coach standing
Speaker 1: behind him rooting him on, but instead of a baseball bat,
Speaker 1: Eddie is holding a spatula. If this was made in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, you would swear it was Ai, but
Speaker 1: it wasn't. It was made in two thousand and three.
Speaker 1: Eddie's Million Dollar Cookoff debuted on July eighteenth, two thousand
Speaker 1: and three, a little late in the barbecue season, missing
Speaker 1: July fourth by just two weeks, but it still made
Speaker 1: the summer. And for filming location, we've somehow found ourselves
Speaker 1: right back in New Zealand. Wow again with New Zealand,
Speaker 1: we're gonna need a new coin that has three sides,
Speaker 1: because now it seems it's Canada's Hattah or it's New Zealand.
Speaker 1: That's right. They filmed this one is this is New
Speaker 1: Zealand still down Under. I guess it's considered down under,
Speaker 1: but Australia is down under.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I always thought it was. I mean, I just
Speaker 2: thought as well, it's.
Speaker 1: Down there, but I don't know if they consider that.
Speaker 1: I don't know if Australia has the tm on uh
Speaker 1: yeahwn under, But who knows either way? We've run into
Speaker 1: this recently several times now with rip Girls or Janie
Speaker 1: Ssnami as I think we're calling it, and the most
Speaker 1: recent Disney Channel release Zombies four. Uh Sabrina, what did
Speaker 1: you think about New Zealand and this one? Did it
Speaker 1: work as fictional Cedar Valley in Chicago or did you
Speaker 1: know we were in a different country?
Speaker 3: I thought, honestly, until I did, like my homework, which
Speaker 3: I always do, after watching the movie, I thought we
Speaker 3: were in Toronto.
Speaker 2: I was convinced this was in Toronto.
Speaker 1: I thought it was somewhere in California. To be totally jerior,
Speaker 1: I did it. I was like, I think they filmed
Speaker 1: one in California. Nope, just anywhere but Chicago's yeah, right, exactly. Well,
Speaker 1: when it can be Cedar Valley in Chicago or Mordor
Speaker 1: and Middle Earth, you know, it's a pretty awesome country.
Speaker 1: I've got to get to New Zealand. I know, me too,
Speaker 1: I know. And although it's uncommon title stands out, this
Speaker 1: movie's legacy really only came together as the years have
Speaker 1: gone by. Though not a huge hit at the time
Speaker 1: of its release, it has since become a staple on
Speaker 1: all the modern day lists we love to cite. It
Speaker 1: came in at number sixteen on a Ringer's list of
Speaker 1: Top forty d coms, at number thirty two on Vultures
Speaker 1: All Time List. Pretty good showing there, and to be honest,
Speaker 1: I don't entirely understand why, but that doesn't explain it's
Speaker 1: sub fifty percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, which will be
Speaker 1: or I Am? It's five point nine out of ten
Speaker 1: on IMDb again right where I Am? Or Lynn Hefley
Speaker 1: of The La Times writing Eddie's Million Dollar Cookoff is
Speaker 1: missing two key ingredients, wit and a light touch. Yes,
Speaker 1: so not unlike a lot of the food in this movie.
Speaker 1: The reaction was also mixed, thank you very much? Are
Speaker 1: you a chef? Are you proficient and cooking? Are you
Speaker 1: good at cooking? How? How are you?
Speaker 3: I love to cook, and I actually get into I
Speaker 3: get in and out of it when I can. I mean,
Speaker 3: for me, I really try to at least make two
Speaker 3: really good home cook meals you know a week, meaning
Speaker 3: like actual meals. I cook a lot, but and I
Speaker 3: also uber eats, our door dash or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my god, you have to call surh and move
Speaker 1: money around. It's so expensive. It's like I'm gonna DoorDash, but.
Speaker 3: It's so hard with my schedule to like, you know,
Speaker 3: be able to prep because that's the thing. When I
Speaker 3: make these big, these big meals, I prep before I
Speaker 3: go to work or do whatever I've got to do.
Speaker 2: And then I come home and finish it. And I
Speaker 2: don't always have time to do that.
Speaker 3: So when I do, I have some pretty good recipes
Speaker 3: that I love, I really do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well share them with me because I love to
Speaker 1: cook too. As a matter of fact, when Boy Metrobe
Speaker 1: was done and I was trying to figure out what
Speaker 1: I wanted to do with my life, and I was like,
Speaker 1: my anxiety was kicking in. I was like, I don't
Speaker 1: want to act anymore. I was looking at culinary school.
Speaker 1: It's what I really wanted to do. So uh, I
Speaker 1: went on Blue Yeah, something like that. And then you know,
Speaker 1: Susan is a phenomenal cook. So she she and her
Speaker 1: mom were both just like wizards in the kitchen. So
Speaker 1: she cooked, she bakes, she does everything.
Speaker 3: So it's that was one of the things Jordan did
Speaker 3: to get me like he was such a good cook.
Speaker 3: I'd never dated anyone that was such a great cook
Speaker 3: like that. And then I started cooking and he barely grills.
Speaker 1: He's got you. Now you're in, you said, I do.
Speaker 1: I believe that was where it is. And fyi, Eddie's
Speaker 1: Million Dollar Cookoff is currently available to stream on Disney Plus.
Speaker 1: So once again, the fate of the Empire is in
Speaker 1: your hands. Watch it now and listen to our recap later,
Speaker 1: or here are thoughts before you take it all in
Speaker 1: the future of our species depends on your decision. Handle
Speaker 1: it with care and decision. Oh I made that rhyme,
Speaker 1: so Serena. I think anyone who's listened to our podcast
Speaker 1: on a regular basis knows we are clueless to the
Speaker 1: ways of Eddie's Million Dollar Cookoffs. Since any time it's
Speaker 1: been mentioned, we have gafaud and assumed it was just
Speaker 1: a name that Jensen made up, so we all sounded stupid.
Speaker 1: But to make it official, what did you know about
Speaker 1: Eddie's Million Dollar Cookoff before it was assigned to us?
Speaker 2: One thing, and one thing only.
Speaker 3: Paul Hoan was the director of it, and so that's
Speaker 3: all I went in, going, this is going to be
Speaker 3: a great movie.
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go. I knew everything about this movie.
Speaker 2: No you did it, swear to God, how did you?
Speaker 1: Because I knew I knew Paul how and because a
Speaker 1: producer friend and I, I came up with an idea.
Speaker 1: My nephew was a baseball player and also a baker,
Speaker 1: and so I literally pitched Disney a movie called batter
Speaker 1: Up where I was a kid. And she listened to
Speaker 1: very politely, listened to it. And when we've done it,
Speaker 1: it's called Eddie's Million Dollar Cookoff. I was like, oh man.
Speaker 1: And then I went and watched this and I was like,
Speaker 1: this was my movie, Like I literally this sad film
Speaker 1: ten years ago. I was like, oh, they've done it.
Speaker 2: It's yes, it's a great idea.
Speaker 3: It's a great idea, great idea, a great idea.
Speaker 1: So she was very polite and then went, no, we've
Speaker 1: already done it. Uh and wow, everybody's already agreeing that
Speaker 1: batter Up is a better title. Thank you, very agreed.
Speaker 3: I was just going to come right out of my
Speaker 3: mouth like I actually like batter much better.
Speaker 1: Thank you. So we're going to rename it is now
Speaker 1: officially batter Up. And this was my movie. I'm making
Speaker 1: up my movie. So before you all go and enroll
Speaker 1: in homech and slather your hotdog in Purple Slime. Let's
Speaker 1: hear the synopsis. A baseball obsessed teen surprises everyone when
Speaker 1: he trades his glove in for a spatula great word
Speaker 1: and secretly enters a high stakes cooking competition that clashes
Speaker 1: with the championship game. It's a very common decom theme here,
Speaker 1: the star athlete or stuffy figure skater is switching interest
Speaker 1: to compete on the other side of the tracks. Off
Speaker 1: the top of my head, we've done go figure jump
Speaker 1: in and even motocross, so we are well aware of.
Speaker 2: This trope or high school musical.
Speaker 1: High school musica. It's all yeah, it's everywhere. It's everywhere.
Speaker 1: Another thing we're well aware of. Yes, he's back. We
Speaker 1: like to call him our daddy, the dcom daddy himself.
Speaker 1: That's right, the most common name uttered on Magical rewind
Speaker 1: has returned. Paul Howell Oan the director of not only
Speaker 1: this movie, but of every movie ever made in the
Speaker 1: history of the world. No, but basically all the d
Speaker 1: coms in the history of the art form. But no
Speaker 1: one here needs a refresher with Paul Hohan. But we're
Speaker 1: gonna do it anyway. Uh. Luck of the Irish reading
Speaker 1: and Cheating Girls two one, World Camp Rock two All
Speaker 1: for the Zombies movies. That's just to name a few.
Speaker 1: He is not only a legend of the form, he's
Speaker 1: a powerhouse, still keeping the DCM alive. E t phone Hoen.
Speaker 1: So let's get into the cast. The movie stars Taylor
Speaker 1: Ball as the titular Eddie Ogden. Taylor is best known
Speaker 1: as Brian Miller on four years of the CBS sitcom
Speaker 1: Still Standing, alongside Mark Addie and Jamie Gertz. I imagine it's
Speaker 1: not still standing, but that's how I'm gonna say it
Speaker 1: every time. But once that show went off the air,
Speaker 1: he walked away from acting to focus on music. He
Speaker 1: is now a drummer in the progressive electronica Experience Medieval,
Speaker 1: inspired by his love of drumming, metal music and sci
Speaker 1: fi novels, and is also in tragic forms a metal band.
Speaker 1: And he's a damn good drummer. Here is just a
Speaker 1: small snippet of tragic forms. Why yes, thick sick.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, that is nothing better than Disney Channel Star going
Speaker 3: in like going to the deep end of the dark hole.
Speaker 2: Like this is nothing better. It's just so good.
Speaker 1: I love that he sounds like he can drum too.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 1: Uh, then we have a Channel regular at the time,
Speaker 1: Orlando Brown, who plays Francisco. He was seeing movies like
Speaker 1: Major Paine, Max Keeble's Big Move, and Thirteen, while also
Speaker 1: showing up on TV shows like Family Matters, Moesha, The
Speaker 1: Proud Family, and most memorably, That's So Raven, where he
Speaker 1: played Eddie Thomas. Brown continues to act, but is mostly
Speaker 1: known as an erratic and controversial figure online, commonly rattling
Speaker 1: off things that would make his former Disney Channel fans
Speaker 1: feel a little bit dirty. Another familiar face to Magical
Speaker 1: Rewinders is that of Riley McClendon, who plays dB in
Speaker 1: this movie. You might remember him as the main character
Speaker 1: of Buffalo Dreams.
Speaker 2: Remember him, Beautie Pie, It's so good to see him.
Speaker 1: Yeah. He can also be seen in the movies Pearl Harbor,
Speaker 1: Disney's The Kid, and sky Kids not Spy Kids sky Kids.
Speaker 1: Apparently it is a different movie, so you remembered him
Speaker 1: from Buffalo Jreams. He's also I mentioned it last time
Speaker 1: in that one famous SVU episode where he plays Twins. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's a great one. Actor Mark L. Taylor plays
Speaker 1: Coach Hank Ogden Eddie's dad, Taylor, is a prolific character
Speaker 1: actor who's been working since the nineteen seventies. Some of
Speaker 1: his highlights include movies like Innerspace, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Rachnophobia,
Speaker 1: and DCOM classics like the High School musical Two That's
Speaker 1: the God every Time. Now I got the whole golf
Speaker 1: course scene he instantly pops in your head as he's
Speaker 1: just singing to his reflection. God, I love it. TV wise,
Speaker 1: the guy dominated the eighties and nineties on shows like
Speaker 1: Melrose Plays, Home Improvement, Seinfeld, Family Times, and Mister Belvedere.
Speaker 1: Pretty awesome list and very early in her career, we
Speaker 1: have actress Rose McIver. The New Zealander was a local
Speaker 1: higher the time, but has since gone on to become
Speaker 1: a constantly working actress in Hollywood, currently starring on the
Speaker 1: hit CBS show Ghosts, but also started the movie Lovely Bones.
Speaker 1: And she was one of the stars of the TV
Speaker 1: show I Zombie, which I think is different than I
Speaker 1: Carly and we haven't gotten to it yet, so we
Speaker 1: will see her again though in another New Zealand film,
Speaker 1: d com Johnny Kappahala back on the board. Can't do
Speaker 1: that fun. Quick story. Rose and I sat next to
Speaker 1: each other at the Honolulu Comic Con and there were
Speaker 1: very few people showed up, and so we were just
Speaker 1: messing with each other's tables the whole time. So when
Speaker 1: I left, at one point she I had cut out
Speaker 1: pictures of my face and put it on her body,
Speaker 1: on her head shot. And so when I came back,
Speaker 1: she had replaced me in the cast of Boy Meets World,
Speaker 1: and she had just like pasted her head onto the
Speaker 1: picture of the rest of the cast, so she was
Speaker 1: officially in Boy Mets World. We had a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: She's very very sweet and playing himself in the style
Speaker 1: of Christi Yamaguchi. We have Bobby Flay as well. Bobby Flay.
Speaker 1: Flay is a premier celebrity chef, restaurant tour and TV
Speaker 1: personality who rose to fame through Food Network shows like
Speaker 1: Iron Chef America, Beat Bobby Flay, which is one of
Speaker 1: the meanest shows in the history of the world, and
Speaker 1: Throw Down. He's built a culinary umpire that includes fancy steakhouses,
Speaker 1: fast food chains, and best selling cookbooks. He was and
Speaker 1: is still one of the most recognizable chefs in the
Speaker 1: food space. Are you a Bobby Flay fan.
Speaker 2: I had no idea who he was.
Speaker 1: Oh really okay? Also talking back to SVU, he used
Speaker 1: to be married to the blonde lawyer from SVU.
Speaker 2: I feel like it always goes back to Svu.
Speaker 1: Or Seinfeld everything. It's like the six degrees of Svu
Speaker 1: or Seinfeld. Everybody knows that, oh wow, and it's time
Speaker 1: to talk time. This movie runs eighty five minutes. That
Speaker 1: it's five below the target, but below is what we know. Baby,
Speaker 1: you'd love to see it under ninety minutes. Congrats everybody.
Speaker 1: There really is no place like Hohen.
Speaker 2: I know he.
Speaker 3: I feel like if all out of all of the
Speaker 3: directors really gets the closest to that.
Speaker 2: Ninety minute mark, wouldn't. She's saying he's.
Speaker 3: Really good at getting right by there, and more often
Speaker 3: it's less than it ever is above.
Speaker 1: It's because he knows. He's like, I've got my audience,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make the tightest film that I possibly can,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go from there. I don't need two
Speaker 1: hours of a d com to teach you that Eddie
Speaker 1: likes to cook and make hop tons. We don't need that.
Speaker 1: And it is written by another dcom name that is
Speaker 1: very common to our podcast here, Dan Berenson. He was
Speaker 1: a Sabrina the Teenage Witch writer and producer who often
Speaker 1: collaborated with Paul Hohan. He not only wrote the spinoffs
Speaker 1: for films like Sabrina, but he also penned a ton
Speaker 1: of d coms. His list is arguably getting as impressive
Speaker 1: as Daddy Owens, which is Hannahmontana the movie, The Wizards
Speaker 1: of Wavely Place movie Camp Rock, two, The Cheetah Girls,
Speaker 1: One World, Stuck in the Suburbs, Twitches to Up, Up
Speaker 1: and Away, Halloween Town High and Scream teen and now
Speaker 1: I can take a breath. Someone get Dan on the phone, please,
Speaker 1: because we've got an interview to do. Do you remember
Speaker 1: him from Cheetah Girls? Did you get to meet him? I?
Speaker 2: I don't remember meeting an extra? No, I don't don't remember.
Speaker 1: Or we got to get him on because he's he's
Speaker 1: written basically everything everybody on the channel has ever said. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: it is time to add a holapaanya to this episode
Speaker 1: and call it cuisine. Let's get into Eddie's million Dollar
Speaker 1: Cookoff or batter up. We start on a baseball field.
Speaker 1: Little leaguers are warming up for a day of games,
Speaker 1: the snack shack is opening fresh, new foul lines are
Speaker 1: being applied, and bases are being set around the diamond.
Speaker 1: Coach Hank odd In hits flyballs to his team, the Groundhogs,
Speaker 1: as squad we quickly realize is filled with athletic underachievers.
Speaker 1: They're basically the bad News Bears, but without the hilarious rapport.
Speaker 1: Coach Hank's son and the movie's main character, Eddie, comes
Speaker 1: to the plate for a little batting practice and pegs
Speaker 1: a foul ball right into the concession stand, creating a
Speaker 1: pinball path of destruction, flying from wall to wall, smashing
Speaker 1: pickle jars and destroying soda cans until it finally lands
Speaker 1: right in the deep frier and so right off the bat.
Speaker 1: Eddie is an enemy of small business. Worth noting, Eddie's
Speaker 1: proclivity to hit dangerous foul balls is never mentioned again
Speaker 1: in the entire movie, So I don't know why they
Speaker 1: decided to do this at the beginning. I guess to
Speaker 1: kind of marry food and baseball. But he destroys the thing.
Speaker 1: And that's why one of the other players didn't do it.
Speaker 1: Why it had to be Eddie, because he's the good player.
Speaker 1: I didn't understand, but I'm it's only me for a seconds.
Speaker 1: It's in the movie, so I'm still in it.
Speaker 3: Just that he's got an arm or something. Yeah, I
Speaker 3: kind of was like, oh, okay, but.
Speaker 1: He hit the ball. It wasn't even a throw like anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Groundhogs are so bad that the coaches are even
Speaker 1: bummed that all the players have returned for the new season, except,
Speaker 1: of course, for Eddie, who is universally known to be
Speaker 1: the MVP, carrying the entire team on his back. They
Speaker 1: also kind of allude to the fact that he's like
Speaker 1: the best one in the league. Now, the opening day
Speaker 1: game is about to start, Coach Hank gives his team
Speaker 1: a pep talk, admitting their chances of winning are slim
Speaker 1: to none, and just in the nick of time, Hannah,
Speaker 1: a girl removing a pink cheerleading uniform to reveal her
Speaker 1: Groundhog's jersey underneath, shows up. Her mom thinks she's trying
Speaker 1: out for cheerleading, hence the outer where Hannah is a
Speaker 1: take note kind of tom Boy, but her mom, a
Speaker 1: champion cheerleader herself, thinks her daughter should follow in her footsteps,
Speaker 1: and we see this kind of gender thing starting right away, right,
Speaker 1: and now the game has begun. Eddie, who talks to
Speaker 1: himself during the game as if he was a television commentator,
Speaker 1: gets a ground ball and turns a double play. And
Speaker 1: that's a trope we're gonna see over and over again.
Speaker 1: For some reason, they cut to nine different double plays
Speaker 1: in this movie. It just double play after double play
Speaker 1: after double play, And just like that, the Groundhogs look
Speaker 1: like a major league baseball team. So what's the problem here?
Speaker 1: Coach Hank and his assistant coach think they could even
Speaker 1: win a few games this year. Then we get our
Speaker 1: favorite thing and optical flip, and the Groundhogs have lost
Speaker 1: ten to three. Also, did you notice on the scoreboard
Speaker 1: the other team was named the Players.
Speaker 3: Yes, that was one of my first ones, going the Players,
Speaker 3: What what?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 2: The Groundhog?
Speaker 1: Not that I mean?
Speaker 2: I also said, like what we got to talk.
Speaker 3: Next time we talked to Paul, I'm gonna ask him,
Speaker 3: why are all of your guys's every time you have
Speaker 3: a mascot?
Speaker 2: Why is it always so weird? Why can't it be
Speaker 2: like the Eagles?
Speaker 1: No? Well, yeah, why wasn't Shrimpy there? For Eddie's million
Speaker 1: dollar Cookoff. I mean, come on, it.
Speaker 2: Always such a weird, like weird mascot it is.
Speaker 1: We've got the groundhogs against the players. I just wanted
Speaker 1: them to walk in like hitting on all the girls
Speaker 1: in the stadium, Like is that what they mean by
Speaker 1: the players, Like, what's going on?
Speaker 2: No, it's like it might as well be the other.
Speaker 1: Team, yeah, right, baseball Baseball opponents the opponents the opponents.
Speaker 1: The Groundhogs leave the dugout heads hung low, and it
Speaker 1: appears they have a game tomorrow. So what kind of
Speaker 1: little league schedule is this? Maybe they're overworking them? Is
Speaker 1: this a one hundred and sixty two game season for
Speaker 1: a little league? That might be a problem. Eddie and
Speaker 1: has two best pals in the team, Catcher Francisco and
Speaker 1: first baseman dB, decide to drown their sorrows in some
Speaker 1: snack shot hot dogs or snackage so I like to
Speaker 1: call it. We get a cool camera trick here where
Speaker 1: Eddie throws a ball in the air and it turns
Speaker 1: into a ketchup bottle. With his excited teammates watching on,
Speaker 1: he drowns three hot dogs and ketchup mustard, sauer Kraut, onions, peppers,
Speaker 1: cornish on cherry tomatoes and horse radish and then declares
Speaker 1: them to be eddie dogs. Did these look good to you, Sabrina?
Speaker 2: I mean I love like.
Speaker 3: That's my favorite thing to do when I go to
Speaker 3: a baseball game is I'm thinking about what hot dog
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, let me ask you a question, because we
Speaker 1: know each other very well, walk me through your hot dog.
Speaker 1: What's your ideal hot dog? What's on it? What's your
Speaker 1: ideal dog?
Speaker 3: Okay, so you know I normally get like a bra,
Speaker 3: but I won at the last baseball game I got
Speaker 3: went to and it was not good.
Speaker 2: I wish I'd gone.
Speaker 1: Just the regular hot dog, which is okay.
Speaker 3: Normally not my thing, but a bra bell peppers and
Speaker 3: onions like nice grilled, and then I do mustard and
Speaker 3: a tiny bit of sour kraw and then I even
Speaker 3: do some fresh.
Speaker 2: Onions on it too.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: But I don't like ketchup on him at all.
Speaker 1: No, some people are not ketchup people. I am, I'm
Speaker 1: at and.
Speaker 3: I just don't. I just don't like it on my dog.
Speaker 3: Like I'm a ketchup person. I just don't like them
Speaker 3: for some reason.
Speaker 1: Yeah, ketchup mustard, onions and cheese.
Speaker 2: That's my hot ketchup mustard, onions and cheese. So you
Speaker 2: put cheese on it?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I put you on everything. I put cheese
Speaker 1: on my cereal if people didn't look at me funny.
Speaker 1: Cheese is amazing, just as my heart.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, I'm got a kid's cheese. I'm just
Speaker 3: like one of those people. It's like I can. I
Speaker 3: like most ingredients. It's just whether or not I'm going
Speaker 3: to put it on that specific yea.
Speaker 1: No, cheese is magical and it makes everything better.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, anyway, the boys love them, but while they're eating,
Speaker 1: they're bullied by players from the league's best team. Like
Speaker 1: you said, the Eagles, So there isn't Eagles, and it's
Speaker 1: a better name than the players if you ask me.
Speaker 1: They even have college scouts coming to their middle school games. Wow. Now,
Speaker 1: Eddie knows the best way to stick it to the
Speaker 1: Eagles is to beat them, so he declares this is
Speaker 1: the season's big goal. Also, Hank's assistant coach, for some reason,
Speaker 1: sits on a bottle of ketchup that squirts out behind him.
Speaker 1: It doesn't hit anybody, it doesn't make like it just
Speaker 1: it was pointless, absolutely pointless, completely pointless. We are now
Speaker 1: back at Eddy house. His mom Sarah's in the kitchen
Speaker 1: and feels what seems like an earthquake, but it's just
Speaker 1: some postgame groundhogs coming over for snacks or snackage. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna keep saying and TV. While Eddie's teammates Roughhouse with
Speaker 1: his older brothers Alex Andy, Eddie is pulled aside by
Speaker 1: his dad. He explains, if you ever want to leave
Speaker 1: the groundhogs, you know, to win some games and think
Speaker 1: about his future, just say the word. But Eddie is
Speaker 1: content with his loser friends. They're his loser friends. And
Speaker 1: then Eddie finds his way to the remote control, landing
Speaker 1: on a cooking show with host Bobby Flay. He seems interested,
Speaker 1: frankly more interested than he was in baseball, but his
Speaker 1: concentration is broken when his mom cuts her finger and
Speaker 1: their dad passes out from seeing the blood. His parents
Speaker 1: and two older brothers are off to the hospital, leaving Eddie, Francisco,
Speaker 1: and dB alone. The plan was to watch the baseball game,
Speaker 1: but instead Eddie suggests they make something out of the
Speaker 1: groceries he's supposed to be putting away for his mom.
Speaker 1: His friends, of course, are not jazzed about this. But
Speaker 1: Eddie starts working with ingredients like eggs, which play a
Speaker 1: massive role in this movie, huge.
Speaker 3: So many they weren't filming it here in two I
Speaker 3: was gonna twenty five word costs a million dollars budget
Speaker 3: just for.
Speaker 2: The about an eggs.
Speaker 1: It would have a Zombies four budget just because of
Speaker 1: the eggs. It'd be a forty million dollar film because
Speaker 1: of the eggs. So yes, he's working with eggs and
Speaker 1: spices until he creates a mashed potato volcano with fried chicken,
Speaker 1: breakfast cereals and vegetables. I mean, this isn't an amateur
Speaker 1: presentation at all. Do you think it looked tasty?
Speaker 3: I was interested when I saw whatever kind of like
Speaker 3: salsa or whatever he was putting on around the chicken.
Speaker 3: I was kind of like, oh, I wonder what that
Speaker 3: would be like. M But yeah, at the end results
Speaker 3: was a little I think it's because it had to
Speaker 3: be like kind of Disney ast with like the volcano
Speaker 3: or whatever.
Speaker 2: I don't like my food touching like that much. Too
Speaker 2: much of a smortgarshporg that is Jordan.
Speaker 3: He just basically takes scoop scoop, scoop, swirl, swirrel swirl chomped.
Speaker 1: Right now, that's me. I'm he's I'm the squirrel squirrel
Speaker 1: scoop scoop, swirl, swirrel chomp, chomp man myself. And I
Speaker 1: don't know if you remember it, because I want to.
Speaker 1: It was Planet Hollywood. It could have been Hard Rock Cafe,
Speaker 1: but I'm ninety nine percent sure it was Planet Hollywood.
Speaker 1: They had the Captain Crunch chicken fingers, and it was
Speaker 1: the coating of the outside was cat exactly, and they
Speaker 1: had the greatest dipping sauce and they were magical, absolutely magical.
Speaker 1: So yes, they When I saw the breakfast cereal going on,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, okay, out of like a like
Speaker 1: a fair, you know, like I bet you can find
Speaker 1: it online how to make them, and you make them
Speaker 1: in the air fire, they'd be better for you. But
Speaker 1: oh they were as all God they got the gorotchack.
Speaker 2: Got back those in the air fire. You gotta make
Speaker 2: them like a regular Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: Saying it was Planet Hollywood. And the dipping sauce was
Speaker 1: also amazing. So when his family returns home, he's made
Speaker 1: a meal for them and everyone ends up loving it,
Speaker 1: but instead of fully encouraging his new talent, they poke
Speaker 1: fun at him, even calling him Edwina because you know,
Speaker 1: making food is womanly, even though by two thousand and
Speaker 1: three Bobby Flay all these huge chefs were everywhere. Gordon Ramsay,
Speaker 1: but okay, the this is when I was like, where
Speaker 1: is this going? This of course infuriates Eddie, but his
Speaker 1: dad says it shouldn't bother him. It's not like he's
Speaker 1: going to hang up his baseball cleats to make food.
Speaker 1: It's all done with a smile. But we've got another
Speaker 1: unsupportive dcom family. Yes, put him on the list. This
Speaker 1: family already sucks. Yeah. Uh, we'll get there though, we'll
Speaker 1: get there. At school the next day, it's his first
Speaker 1: day of the semester and the boys are deciding between
Speaker 1: computer science or home eck as an elective, and to
Speaker 1: go along with his culinary dreams, our baseball star Eddie
Speaker 1: really wants to take home economics, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: Home Economics is awesome. He stops by the kitchen classroom,
Speaker 1: which is decorated straight out of a Montesito Holmes magazine.
Speaker 1: He is overcome by its beauty. I don't think a
Speaker 1: high school classroom has ever been this cleaner? Pretty even
Speaker 1: on the first day, it does look stunning. I think
Speaker 1: they're all like wolf ranges. I mean it's like, it's
Speaker 1: freaking amazing this classroom.
Speaker 2: Yes, that was amazing. The set for this classroom was
Speaker 2: just like awesow. How could you imagine if that was
Speaker 2: real life?
Speaker 1: It was really really great. Once in the school's hallway,
Speaker 1: it is total chaos, with kids everywhere reaching for elective
Speaker 1: sign up sheets. It is a true melee. And in
Speaker 1: the scrum, Eddie picks home Ech over computer science and
Speaker 1: tricks his friends into doing the same. Furious with him
Speaker 1: and sitting in the new class they all agree to
Speaker 1: keep this a secret, even from Eddie's brothers, and that's
Speaker 1: when fellow groundhog Hannah arrives. Since she's taken field hockey
Speaker 1: for two straight years, she picked Homeck to hopefully appease
Speaker 1: her mom. Another girl, Bridget, who is played by an actress,
Speaker 1: trying to hide her new Zealand accent and really doing
Speaker 1: it unsuccessfully, to the point where I was stopping and
Speaker 1: rewinding and stopping and rewinding because there were times the
Speaker 1: mouth flaps didn't match and I thought someone had dubbed
Speaker 1: her entire performance.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: This is when I went, oh wait, because there are
Speaker 3: so many different dialects like in Shnada. So I was
Speaker 3: kind of like, okay, this is for sure not I
Speaker 3: just I finally went because for me, it either looked
Speaker 3: like Salt Lake City like we've seen or Toronto, and
Speaker 3: I was like, oh no, okay, so this is probably
Speaker 3: Toronto because of this accent that this girl has.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean it was the accent was bad.
Speaker 1: But it also it looked like did they dub it?
Speaker 1: Like what's going on?
Speaker 2: It just looked a lot of dubbing in this movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean a lot.
Speaker 2: And it was I mean you could hear it.
Speaker 3: Even if I was like to walk out of the
Speaker 3: room to go grab something or get something for like Monroe,
Speaker 3: I could hear yes, dub dub right now.
Speaker 1: Yes, it was a lot of dubbing, a lot of overlaying,
Speaker 1: and I mean perfect example Rose mcgiver also from New Zealand,
Speaker 1: but she hit her accent great, whereas this girl not
Speaker 1: so much. Yeah. Anyway, so she's trying to hide her accent,
Speaker 1: which doesn't work. She has words with the jocks and
Speaker 1: the teacher, Miss Hadley who was hysterical in this movie,
Speaker 1: welcomes the class with entry forms to a million dollars
Speaker 1: Scolastic cookoff. Seems like a weird thing to do the
Speaker 1: first class, but okay, she was wonderful.
Speaker 3: Did you see the fact though, the fact that she's
Speaker 3: not even credited in this movie?
Speaker 2: What it says in our homework?
Speaker 1: I didn't see that part of the homework, and I
Speaker 1: to my homework.
Speaker 3: It says, despite being a main role, Nancy, miss Hadley,
Speaker 3: the home economic teacher, is not credited in the movie.
Speaker 2: That's so, isn't that wired?
Speaker 1: Because she had a huge part and she's really really
Speaker 1: she's so to me.
Speaker 2: She stole the show in this movie.
Speaker 3: So good, and I love her and the other things
Speaker 3: that she's been in, but she was awesome in this movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree hundred percent.
Speaker 3: That was crazy to find out she's not even credited.
Speaker 1: That's yeah, that's weird. We have to we'll deep dive
Speaker 1: that more because I'd like to find out what's going
Speaker 1: on there. But yes, everyone takes the form and it
Speaker 1: turns out that the students must submit an original recipe,
Speaker 1: and if they're selected for the finals, the students must
Speaker 1: participate in a live cooking test. She also explains it's
Speaker 1: not really a million dollars. It's a scholarship to an
Speaker 1: elite culinary school and a small amount of money in
Speaker 1: prizes that will equal a million dollars. So it seems
Speaker 1: like kind of a misleading contest name, but it is
Speaker 1: what it is, Eddie, Eddie's equivalent to a million dollar Yeah,
Speaker 1: just call it batter up and be done with it, please. Yeah?
Speaker 1: Either way, this has once again caught Eddie's attention. However,
Speaker 1: only over zealous Bridget takes an entry form. Oh Bridget.
Speaker 1: Francisco thinks this home economics class is going to be
Speaker 1: a cakewalk, but he immediately burns cookies and realizes that
Speaker 1: this isn't even a cookie walk. Once homeck is over, Eddie,
Speaker 1: who thinks the coast is clear, sneaks back into the
Speaker 1: classroom to get an application for the cookoff, But little
Speaker 1: does he know, Hannah saw the whole thing that night.
Speaker 1: We see the exterior of Eddie's house and wow, it's huge.
Speaker 1: This is another rich gcom family, apparently in the tradition
Speaker 1: of Smart House and Pixel Perfect. It's been a while
Speaker 1: since we've seen it, but this is a wealthy wealthy family.
Speaker 1: While his family sleeps, Eddie sneaks downstairs to come up
Speaker 1: with his own new recipe. We get a funky baseline
Speaker 1: montage as Eddie works again with eggs, lots and lots
Speaker 1: of eggs, eggs, milk, lots.
Speaker 2: Of milkg's milk, and pepper.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the heck he's trying to make,
Speaker 1: but it takes nineteen gallons of milk and thirty two
Speaker 1: dozen eggs and then he.
Speaker 2: Puts like orange. I'm like, what is he making? That
Speaker 2: looks so gross?
Speaker 1: But luckily exactly but if he's making, if he's making
Speaker 1: French toast for you know, a platoon, then he's doing
Speaker 1: it properly. But otherwise it's like what are you doing?
Speaker 1: But anyway, and there's a ton of pepper and then
Speaker 1: he whistsits so violently it completely showers his dog. Totally
Speaker 1: insane technique here, and maybe he should focus on baseball
Speaker 1: after all. And every time he makes something with the
Speaker 1: same elements he takes a bite and almost barfs. Then
Speaker 1: when he attempts a peanut butter and jelly concoction, the
Speaker 1: open blenders paints the entire kitchen just in time for
Speaker 1: one of his brothers to walk downstairs, and now we
Speaker 1: get one of the most ridiculous scenes in dcom history.
Speaker 1: The brother doesn't notice the thrashed kitchen at all, takes
Speaker 1: a bite of one of Eddie's sandwiches covered in random ingredients,
Speaker 1: and then just brings it upstairs. I don't know if
Speaker 1: he's sleepwalking, sleep eating, he's on ambient I don't know
Speaker 1: what the hell it is, but it was so he
Speaker 1: didn't notice actual peanut butter dripping from the ceiling.
Speaker 2: The dog that looks like he went off jumped in
Speaker 2: a pool of milk, like.
Speaker 1: And this happens so many times in this movie. He
Speaker 1: destroys the kitchen beyond cleanup, but never gets caught. And
Speaker 1: I mean destroys this kitchen top to bottom, ceiling, dripping disgustingness.
Speaker 3: Well, I feel like but the good thing, I mean, yes,
Speaker 3: so this he doesn't get caught. But I do think
Speaker 3: there's times where, especially at this age, where you start
Speaker 3: start making food for yourself, right, your mom's starting to
Speaker 3: have you make your own sandwiches and all that kind
Speaker 3: of stuff or whatever, and then you start learning to
Speaker 3: just like lather. I mean, I remember anytime we had
Speaker 3: like mashed potato leftovers.
Speaker 2: I was in the kitchen doing something with the smash potato,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: So this is like definitely what I think is really
Speaker 3: fun to watch how Disney kind of keep clues in
Speaker 3: to write where.
Speaker 2: Like, these kids actually would do this.
Speaker 3: But it's not weird for a kid to sneak downstairs,
Speaker 3: not necessarily sneak, just get up and go I'm hungry
Speaker 3: and go downstairs and start.
Speaker 1: But man, do they take it to the extreme for
Speaker 1: the next level destroys everything.
Speaker 2: And the worst part is, you're right, no one notices.
Speaker 1: No one notices, no one notices ow. Yeah, very strange.
Speaker 1: We are back on the baseball field. His dad knows
Speaker 1: his son is distracted by something. He wants Eddie to
Speaker 1: stop playing with food and to quote stop dancing around
Speaker 1: like a little girl unquote. But that means starting to
Speaker 1: think this movie is a metaphor for something else, because
Speaker 1: how would wanting to be a chef having him dancing
Speaker 1: around like a little girl be the same thing. And
Speaker 1: so this is where I thought, maybe this is just
Speaker 1: a movie about coming out as gay. Oh really, which
Speaker 1: is how Disney wrote a movie about coming out as
Speaker 1: gay in two thousand and three. Now they just write
Speaker 1: a movie about coming out as gay. Right then, this
Speaker 1: seemed like that was what this metaphor was about. Was
Speaker 1: this was Eddie coming out as gay, and that's the
Speaker 1: way they did it. He wants to be a chef?
Speaker 1: What a girl? And it was like what yeah.
Speaker 3: And again, and I think it's true that to me,
Speaker 3: the home at class of it sort of made it
Speaker 3: more sent like because you know that messaging just doesn't
Speaker 3: like hold up in til twenty five with men not
Speaker 3: being chefs.
Speaker 1: Like it didn't hold up in two thousand and three.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, no, And when I was looking to go
Speaker 1: to culinary school, okay.
Speaker 3: Right, like so, I mean I would think maybe the
Speaker 3: home at class at a at a junior high. Maybe
Speaker 3: that because when I think of home, I don't necessarily
Speaker 3: always think of just baking.
Speaker 2: I think of like the sewing, and just like.
Speaker 1: We did all. That's how I know how I knew
Speaker 1: how to do everything when I moved out to my
Speaker 1: house at sixteen.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm like going, like, I guess that is,
Speaker 3: but it's just it's so far from like reality. And
Speaker 3: even back then there were those shows, but you know,
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's just kind of like it's the
Speaker 3: same way as like when when we first watched High
Speaker 3: School Musical. So he can't just do yeah, just do
Speaker 3: both and both Like there's really just no way to
Speaker 3: make it both.
Speaker 2: I get it if they're on the same day like
Speaker 2: this is, but like, he can't just.
Speaker 1: Do me again. That's another thing that that Disney executive
Speaker 1: told me after that pitch. She's like, the kids today
Speaker 1: don't buy that. You can't just do two things. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know, kids are going to karate and they're going
Speaker 1: to the library. They're also in the play. They do it.
Speaker 1: It's like kids today are doing nine hundred things. So
Speaker 1: she's like, almost to a person, the kids we showed
Speaker 1: something like High School Musical or Eddie's Million Dollar Cookoff
Speaker 1: two were like, why does any he just do both
Speaker 1: the things? Yeah, so yeah, that's none of that. None
Speaker 1: of that works anymore because the kids are doing more. Well.
Speaker 2: I'm glad.
Speaker 1: I love that. It's how it should be.
Speaker 2: You cannot do it.
Speaker 1: Eddie swears baseball is his priority and lies saying he
Speaker 1: signed up for computer science, but we all know he's
Speaker 1: dancing around like a little girl in Homeck. Yes, I
Speaker 1: want to say it. And the next day in homeck.
Speaker 1: While most of the students are dozing off, Bridget and
Speaker 1: Eddie are the only ones interested, and they're focusing on
Speaker 1: the learning, so much so that Eddie teams up with
Speaker 1: Bridget for the cooking lesson. He wants to know if
Speaker 1: she's mastered her cookoff recipe yet and if peanut butter
Speaker 1: would be an accepted ingredient, But dB interrupts to ask
Speaker 1: what he's even doing talking to this recipe nerd, who,
Speaker 1: by the way, Bridget is a stunningly gorgeous young girl,
Speaker 1: uh that everyone in the entire school would be trying
Speaker 1: to talk to, so trying to paint her as a
Speaker 1: First of all, everyone treats this girl like the whole
Speaker 1: movie poor thing, this entire movie she is.
Speaker 3: There is a definite aspect of her being annoying. But
Speaker 3: it's so weird how mean they are to her, especially
Speaker 3: these three boys. You would think they would be like
Speaker 3: drooling over her. They asked one time, is there something
Speaker 3: he does?
Speaker 2: dB? Is there something going on here? And that's when
Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, there you go.
Speaker 3: Yes, let's let's like vibe op of the fact that
Speaker 3: he could be just trying to flirt with her.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and also when I saw her, I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: she's gonna be the really pretty, really popular mean girl
Speaker 1: in the school.
Speaker 2: Yeah, isn't She's annoying, but she's not mean.
Speaker 1: No, they made her and they just everyone treats her
Speaker 1: terribly the whole movie and trying to make her like
Speaker 1: a recipe Nerd just did. It was like, really, that's
Speaker 1: who you cast? So you cast the girl who can't
Speaker 1: hide her accent, who's a ten out of ten for
Speaker 1: in when you're in middle school, and it's like, this
Speaker 1: is who What were your other choices? And I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to bash on this girl, but it's like, come on,
Speaker 1: so strange.
Speaker 2: I know, she was so cute.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just miscast. I'm sorry, but she was just miscast.
Speaker 1: Everyone is starting to become suspicious that Eddie wants to
Speaker 1: be a chef, but he still denies it, claiming he
Speaker 1: hates the class and was only talking in bridget to
Speaker 1: start a food fight, which of course then breaks out,
Speaker 1: creating every homecked teacher's worst nightmare. Every student gets involved,
Speaker 1: and this must have been a crazy scene to film.
Speaker 1: It's eventually stopped by the school's principal, but the kids
Speaker 1: are still proud of how great the food fight was.
Speaker 1: You and I have talked about the food fight you're
Speaker 1: in in the food fights I've done. Yeah, you're usually
Speaker 1: cold and it's gross and you're slipping and sliding all
Speaker 1: the place. But it's fun.
Speaker 3: Fun at first, yes, And then if you have to
Speaker 3: do any pickups or anything at.
Speaker 2: So it's gross, like you could start smelling the food.
Speaker 3: You're, like you said, slipping on everything, Like it gets
Speaker 3: the point where and so then now you're covered in
Speaker 3: Oh god, it gets gross really fast.
Speaker 1: But it does.
Speaker 3: The beginning of it is like a dream come true.
Speaker 1: For a kid. For a kid, it's like, wait, I
Speaker 1: get to do this, and I'm allowed to do this, and.
Speaker 2: I'm supposed to do this.
Speaker 1: This is the coolest. But then yeah, it gets really
Speaker 1: nasty really quick, really really quickly.
Speaker 2: It's it's pretty funny.
Speaker 1: It really does. But in the aftermath, the students stumble
Speaker 1: on a gross purple and green concoction, but for some reason,
Speaker 1: Francisco tastes it and it's delicious. This also, this worked
Speaker 1: for me. It resonated because there's always like, Hey, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna put the ketchup mustard. Everything, I'm gonna put in
Speaker 1: one little gin and then bet my friends to drink it.
Speaker 1: That's kind of what this was. I thought that should
Speaker 1: have gone up. I'll bet you, I'll bet you to
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 2: That's such a guy thingg girl girls would not do that.
Speaker 2: I'm not drinking that. I'm not drinking it either. I'm
Speaker 2: not gonna drink it. Then it'd be like, hey, Ryan,
Speaker 2: come drink this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all good, it's all good. Yeah. It turns
Speaker 1: out to be incredible barbecue sauce, and that gives Eddie
Speaker 1: an idea, and maybe Eddie has just found his cookoff recipe.
Speaker 1: Now is this legal? This wasn't his recipe that everybody
Speaker 1: threw stuff in a bowl? Is this a stolen thing?
Speaker 1: He didn't come up with this. He didn't like make
Speaker 1: a recipe.
Speaker 2: He didn't make a recipe, but he definitely saw.
Speaker 3: Oh it clicked that you could put those kinds of
Speaker 3: ingredients in it and make a really good barbecue recipe.
Speaker 1: I guess, but it's like, it's yeah, he should have
Speaker 1: made something.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: At the next baseball game, Eddie is distracted by his
Speaker 1: purple barbecue slime, which he apparently put in a jar
Speaker 1: and now carries with him. Everywhere he goes, which is odd,
Speaker 1: and when a teammate, Oliver gets into it needs it
Speaker 1: like a creep. Coach Hank wants to know what's going on,
Speaker 1: and luckily for Eddie, Hannah steps up to lie. She
Speaker 1: says it's her mom's recipe, pulling the heat off of Eddie,
Speaker 1: and with that out of the way, Eddie then wins
Speaker 1: the game with a walk off home run. The team
Speaker 1: has a party to celebrate, and Coach Hank even congratulates
Speaker 1: Tana by saying she's quote one of the guys unquote,
Speaker 1: and he thinks that they can actually beat the Eagles
Speaker 1: this year, insulting their coach for what he does for
Speaker 1: a living. He's a you know, a woman's job. And
Speaker 1: this movie continues to really dive headfirst into gender issues.
Speaker 1: It's really kind of weird. And I know we're looking
Speaker 1: at it through the lens now of what it used
Speaker 1: to be, but I like to think even back then,
Speaker 1: the coach wouldn't be saying you're you know, you run
Speaker 1: like a girl and you throw like a girl. All that.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Also, at this point, can we induct
Speaker 1: coach Eddie into the Terrible dcom deat.
Speaker 3: Club yes, absolutely, okay, absolutely, He induct.
Speaker 1: Him like a girl, like a little girl. We're gonna
Speaker 1: put him in there. And the next day at school,
Speaker 1: Eddie finds out that Bridget is finishing up her cookoff
Speaker 1: recipe and it's finalizing everything with Miss Hadley so that
Speaker 1: every measurement is just perfect, because if something goes wrong,
Speaker 1: you get disqualified. This news, of course, terrifies Eddie, who's
Speaker 1: been making a sauce by dousing every dog in the
Speaker 1: night and just throwing ingredients around the room and hoping
Speaker 1: his brother doesn't notice. So he runs off to start
Speaker 1: scientific examinations. But when he finds his mom at home,
Speaker 1: he decides tell the truth about the contest, but she
Speaker 1: already knows he left out his entry for him, and
Speaker 1: Eddie swears it's not a quote stupid girl thing unquote,
Speaker 1: especially since so many hosts on the Food Channel are guys.
Speaker 1: But she doesn't care. She just encourages him and promises
Speaker 1: him she won't tell his dad or brothers. And again,
Speaker 1: it kept coming off to me like they were playing
Speaker 1: this as if he was coming out. It just seemed
Speaker 1: that way. I don't know, I'm sure, I don't know
Speaker 1: if it was done on purpose or but that's just
Speaker 1: what it played, as we then enter a montage of
Speaker 1: Bridget getting bullied at school. Of course, Hannah continued to
Speaker 1: lie to her mom about cheerleading and Eddie waiting for
Speaker 1: a word from the cookoff, and somehow the Groundhogs keep
Speaker 1: winning with Eddie as their MVP. And then Miss Hadley
Speaker 1: has very big news. The cookoff called and Bridget is
Speaker 1: in the finals. But she's not the only one. The
Speaker 1: other finalist is Eddie. He's thrilled, and the class is
Speaker 1: surprisingly very excited, surrounding him with congratulations. They don't give
Speaker 1: it about Bridget. No one cares about her at all,
Speaker 1: except for dB who is visibly hurt with this secret.
Speaker 1: Eddie admits to dB he kept it from him because
Speaker 1: he knew he'd think it was stupid, and Dbie just
Speaker 1: wants to know one thing, do you like Homeck, which
Speaker 1: again is said in the exact same tone in the
Speaker 1: early two thousands as are you gay? It just did
Speaker 1: it all came out that way? Eddie finally admits that
Speaker 1: he does like Homeck, but still plays off the cookoff
Speaker 1: as a joke. But now Eddie must deal with the
Speaker 1: acceptance letter sent to his house which was intercepted and
Speaker 1: then ripped up like kind of by accident, but still
Speaker 1: by his dude brothers and more importantly seen by his dad.
Speaker 1: Coach Hank does not understand this cookoff thing and is
Speaker 1: mad that Eddie snuck around behind his back, especially after
Speaker 1: he found out his mom already knew, But his dad
Speaker 1: assures Eddie the worst is yet to come. He was right, though,
Speaker 1: because even though the home neck class was happy for him,
Speaker 1: the rest of the student body is now bullying him
Speaker 1: into oblivion. Even the cheerleaders jokingly ask if he wants
Speaker 1: to try out, but Eddie still is training to do so.
Speaker 1: He ignores DB's desire to play catch and works with
Speaker 1: Bridget Miss Hadley, who, by the way, is we've talked
Speaker 1: about it steals this film. Oh good, so funny.
Speaker 2: He feels it. You're right, he really does.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. We get another montage now, with Eddie secretly
Speaker 1: watching Bobby Flay at home, peeling fruit and coming up
Speaker 1: short for the Groundhogs. The shift to focus is causing
Speaker 1: even more tension with his teammates, especially dB, who is
Speaker 1: disturbed by his best friend's feminine interests. But if the
Speaker 1: Groundhogs win, one more game, they'll face the Eagles in
Speaker 1: the championship, and that's when Eddie learns if the Groundhogs
Speaker 1: make it to the finals, it will be on the
Speaker 1: same day as the cookoff. He has no idea what
Speaker 1: he'll do, which really puts dB over the edge. They
Speaker 1: argue in the lunch room and end up wrestling on
Speaker 1: the floor, which triggers another huge food fight, this time
Speaker 1: with the entire school joining in, and it is a
Speaker 1: massive scene. We have to talk to Daddy Hoan about
Speaker 1: shooting these scenes, so let's get onto that. By the way,
Speaker 1: I have every intention of calling him Daddy Hoen when
Speaker 1: he gets on the podcast again. I don't wait.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna literally put his face on across my entire
Speaker 3: screen for him to see his reaction when you do that,
Speaker 3: because it's gonna be so funny.
Speaker 1: He is the daddy of the d com Daddy Hohen,
Speaker 1: and this decision is now weighing heavily on Eddie. He's
Speaker 1: so frustrated that he decides to take it out on
Speaker 1: Miss Hadley and all of the poor carrots that they're cutting.
Speaker 1: He's sick of having no friends, being disowned by his
Speaker 1: dad and teased by his brothers, and so he officially quits.
Speaker 1: And now with miss Hatley alone with Bridget, it's got
Speaker 1: the star cooking student thinking about her own struggles with popularity,
Speaker 1: and we get what might just be the funniest exchange
Speaker 1: we've ever seen a d com. Let's listen to it here.
Speaker 3: Do you think that's why everybody makes fun of me
Speaker 3: because I love to cook?
Speaker 1: No? Oh no, there are plenty of other reasons. Ah,
Speaker 1: he's the best. That was so good, so funny.
Speaker 3: So many of those like little TV tiny she does,
Speaker 3: They're great good And now it's like, how is she
Speaker 3: never the funny mom on a sitcom?
Speaker 1: Or something like because she's man, she's good. Yes, And
Speaker 1: now it is time for the Groundhog's big game. If
Speaker 1: they win, they'll face the Eagles for the championship. But
Speaker 1: Eddie is nowhere to be found, and coach mentions that
Speaker 1: the opposing team's third basement throws like a girl, which
Speaker 1: offends Kimberly a girl on the Groundhogs. And when another player,
Speaker 1: who overheard coach hanks sexism in the past, reveals his
Speaker 1: dad as a nurse, we finally get a little bit
Speaker 1: of come upance for Eddie's dad. It was nice that
Speaker 1: somebody stood up in their lives. She's like, I am
Speaker 1: a girl, shut up. It was great. And then Eddie,
Speaker 1: Yeah you want rocks? Yeah, go you bite me face.
Speaker 1: And then Eddie finally gets the game, setting off an
Speaker 1: incredible montage of the Groundhogs winning over the very popular
Speaker 1: song center Field by John Fogerty. This is a shocker,
Speaker 1: big money spent here by Disney, which we very rarely see. Sabrina,
Speaker 1: did you know the song?
Speaker 3: Yes, I've had it, and I've had a baseball theme
Speaker 3: for one of my routines. And then yeah, this is
Speaker 3: like the biggest, like besides take me out to the
Speaker 3: ball game, this is the biggest song.
Speaker 1: The baseball game. Yeah, it is a baseball song. It
Speaker 1: really is. Yep, and the team celebrates the win once
Speaker 1: again at Eddie's house, but mid party, guess who shows
Speaker 1: up the FB I No, I'm kidd I'm seeing if
Speaker 1: you're still with me, it's actually Miss Hadley. She wants
Speaker 1: to talk to Eddie and his parents about his quitting.
Speaker 1: She thinks Eddie has to be at the cookoff, but
Speaker 1: now that the Groundhogs are playing in the finals, he
Speaker 1: doesn't have a choice. I feel like I'm going to
Speaker 1: say the groundlings every single time, by.
Speaker 2: The way I know.
Speaker 1: I yeah, it's the groundhogs. And he doesn't have a choice,
Speaker 1: and coach Hank agrees. Miss Hadley explains that his passion, talent,
Speaker 1: and instinct in the kitchen is special. She thinks he
Speaker 1: was born to cook, but knows the cards are stacked
Speaker 1: against her. She just asked that Eddie sleep on it
Speaker 1: and not decide until the morning. Eddie agrees, but his
Speaker 1: dad is sure he'll be on the field that night.
Speaker 1: Eddie can't sleep. He finds himself back in the kitchen,
Speaker 1: pulling ingredients from the fridge, doing what he loves. We
Speaker 1: get some experimental hot jazz as he dances around like
Speaker 1: a girl. I guess is that I don't know what
Speaker 1: they're doing, and makes a zucchini casserole, which frankly looks delicious.
Speaker 1: He tastes it and glance at the cookoff invite, just
Speaker 1: as we notice his dad is secretly watching from upstairs.
Speaker 1: The next morning, at the cookoff, Eddie arrives in his
Speaker 1: baseball uniform just to check it out before his game,
Speaker 1: and he's so impressed by what he sees. It's basically
Speaker 1: that thing at Epcot, where you get to eat food
Speaker 1: in every country, and there are dream kitchen setups for
Speaker 1: eight contestants where I guess one middle school in Chicago
Speaker 1: has two finalists, which is theirs. And when Eddie stumbles
Speaker 1: on what would have been his workstation, he's confronted by
Speaker 1: none other than Bobby Flay, whoa not only big time cameo,
Speaker 1: but if they flew Bobby Flay all the way to
Speaker 1: New Zealand just to do like a couple days of shooting,
Speaker 1: that's pretty impressive. Lots of money there. He's there covering
Speaker 1: the event for the Food Network because of course we
Speaker 1: all know the Food Network closely follows middle school cooking,
Speaker 1: and he tells Eddie to get ready fast. Eddie tells
Speaker 1: his hero he won't be competing because of a baseball game,
Speaker 1: so Flay understands and wishes him luck. But when Eddie
Speaker 1: wants to know how Bobby Flay cracks an egg again
Speaker 1: lots of egg stuff with one hand, the professional chef
Speaker 1: jokes he needs to stick around to get that answer,
Speaker 1: and we're back on the baseball field. Eddie's dad is
Speaker 1: concerned his son hasn't arrived yet, but soon after Eddie
Speaker 1: bikes up ready to win. Eddie is baseball focused. He
Speaker 1: knows it's time to beat the Eagles, and the Groundhogs
Speaker 1: look great. They take an early lead and Eddie fights
Speaker 1: do some trash talk to hit a home run. They're
Speaker 1: up three to nothing and the cookoff is about to begin. Hilariously,
Speaker 1: there is a TV in the Groundhog's dugout, which kills me.
Speaker 2: Why.
Speaker 1: It's, of course, on the Food Network. Bobby Flay is
Speaker 1: explaining the rules. Hearing the play by play is obviously
Speaker 1: affecting Eddie's focus. Also, when is he a running TV?
Speaker 1: Ever been in the dugout? And how do they have cable? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean unless it's like an actual like an actual
Speaker 2: stadium at baseball stadium. This is not happening. I don't
Speaker 2: get it, pee.
Speaker 1: Wee, no, even in the baseball stage. I mean yeah,
Speaker 1: it's all very odd. Now Eddie's at that With the
Speaker 1: score tied at three, he quickly strikes out. The cookoff
Speaker 1: has just begun, and reality is sinking back in. He
Speaker 1: knows where he should really be. Eddie proceeds to make
Speaker 1: an error, giving the Eagles a one run lead, and
Speaker 1: Francisco is still watching the cookoff and the dugout, much
Speaker 1: to DB's dismay, but Francisco and Hannah stand up for
Speaker 1: Eddie and pursuing his real love of cooking, and then
Speaker 1: Debe finally gets it, so of course he verbally attacks
Speaker 1: Eddie a joke. He said, the Groundhogs don't need him.
Speaker 1: They don't want him. They don't need him on the team.
Speaker 1: Hope you're hit by a car on the way time.
Speaker 1: It's like, wow, I know, I.
Speaker 3: Kept waiting for him to crack a smile, being like,
Speaker 3: I'm just kidding, dude, Go get do what you want
Speaker 3: to go do right now.
Speaker 1: He does the Timmy and Lassie thing. I don't love you, Lassie,
Speaker 1: runaway Lassie, like throwing rocks at poor Lassie. Geez. So
Speaker 1: he finally he says they don't want him on the team.
Speaker 1: He finally cracks a little smile and forces Eddie to
Speaker 1: do what he has to do. They'll win the game
Speaker 1: without him. Kachenk tries to stop Eddie, but his mom
Speaker 1: offers a ride to the cookoff, he'll get there faster,
Speaker 1: and then Kimberly, the player who hits like a girl,
Speaker 1: hits a double to tie the game. Back at the Ogdens,
Speaker 1: Eddie's brother tunes into the cookoff just as Eddie runs
Speaker 1: in to join the competition, which apparently only has an
Speaker 1: hour left, so he's already behind the eight ball. We
Speaker 1: jump back and forth between the cookoff and the game,
Speaker 1: with Eddie grinding out his dish and the Groundhogs now
Speaker 1: down by two runs. In the dugout, the team is
Speaker 1: still focused on the TV and the cookoff coverage, especially
Speaker 1: when Eddie's chocolate pie deflates. Want Coach hankses his team,
Speaker 1: wishing they could help their teammate, but Hannah's at that
Speaker 1: as the bases are loaded, and just then her mom
Speaker 1: arrives to check on her cheerleading. Hannah quickly throws on
Speaker 1: her pink uniform, but her mom knows something's up. She
Speaker 1: found a batting glove in her jeans. Hannah admits she's
Speaker 1: not a cheerleader, she's actually one of the better shortstops
Speaker 1: in the league, and her mom admits she's disappointed, not
Speaker 1: by baseball, but by the fact that Hannah thought she
Speaker 1: had to lie to her and her mom wouldn't support her.
Speaker 1: She says they'll talk later, but for now, she needs
Speaker 1: to go win this game for her team and it's
Speaker 1: that unconditional love that finally reaches coach Dad Hello on
Speaker 1: a mission to get to his son. He tells the
Speaker 1: assistant coach, hey, you take over from here, and gets
Speaker 1: in his car and leaves. Nope, that's not what he
Speaker 1: does at all. He rushes to the umpire and argues
Speaker 1: until he's ejected from the game for some reason. I
Speaker 1: don't know why he didn't just leave. And then seconds
Speaker 1: later he arrives at the cookoff to help his son,
Speaker 1: because of course, the baseball field is directly next to
Speaker 1: the cooking championship. I mean, it's like seconds and he's there.
Speaker 1: He like it, yep, and he's there yep. And he's
Speaker 1: there to help his son, and you know he's he's
Speaker 1: gonna be his head, sue Chef miraculate. Of course, never
Speaker 1: cooked to Dan in his life, but he's there to
Speaker 1: help miraculously. This field must be next to him that
Speaker 1: his dad then just cracks an egg like Bobby Flay
Speaker 1: with one hand. What maybe his dad has done cooking? Well,
Speaker 1: you know what they say, everyone experiments with cooking in college.
Speaker 1: We're once again cutting between the cookoff and the baseball game.
Speaker 1: What's so funny Sabrina just really good. That's true. We're
Speaker 1: once again cutting between the cookoff and the baseball game,
Speaker 1: both coming down to the wire, less than two minutes
Speaker 1: left for Eddie, and he tells his confused dad to
Speaker 1: add peppers to his chocolate dessert and chocolate to his chicken.
Speaker 1: And now with two outs and then winning run at
Speaker 1: the plate, it's up to dB. He takes the first
Speaker 1: two pitches for strikes. Things aren't looking great for the groundlings,
Speaker 1: and meanwhile Eddie finishes a mole plate just as his
Speaker 1: meathead brothers arrived to Cheerman And anybody ever cooked anything
Speaker 1: in their life knows that you can't do molay, even
Speaker 1: a bad one, in an hour. It's not molay like
Speaker 1: cooks all day long. What do you think in Eddie,
Speaker 1: You're not gonna win anyway, we are back at the game.
Speaker 1: DBI is looking at his final pitch with fifteen seconds left,
Speaker 1: and Eddie at his workstation realizes his lemon dish didn't
Speaker 1: set and the problem is he needs to include lemons
Speaker 1: in the meal. It's part of the challenge or he'll
Speaker 1: be kicked out. So down to his last few seconds,
Speaker 1: his dad fastball throws him a lemon and Eddie quickly
Speaker 1: shaves small slices of it to garnish his plate, and
Speaker 1: at the same time dB hits home run to win
Speaker 1: the game. Whooo, Nope, not what happens. He actually just
Speaker 1: dinks a tiny grounder right in front of home plate.
Speaker 1: His teammates screamed to run, and Francisco scores, knocking the
Speaker 1: ball out of the catcher's glove to tie the game. DBI,
Speaker 1: still running the bases, eventually caught in a slow motion
Speaker 1: game of pickle. Now, while we wait to see how
Speaker 1: that plays out, Bobby Flay announces the winner of the cookoff.
Speaker 1: It's Bridget Bridget one because again, can't make a molley
Speaker 1: in an hour. What a swerve. But dB does score.
Speaker 1: In the end, the Groundhogs have beaten the Eagles nine
Speaker 1: to eight. You lose some, you win some, You cook some.
Speaker 1: Mole takes all day. Eddie looks devastated to have lost
Speaker 1: the cook off. Eddie, by the way, anybody who watches
Speaker 1: any cooking show knows that anybody tries to make a mole,
Speaker 1: that all the professional stefs are like, really, you can't
Speaker 1: make a mole. It's like yeah, anyway, Eddie, looks devastated
Speaker 1: to have lost the cookoff. Tears are welling up in
Speaker 1: his eyes. His dad apologizes, but Eddie just wants to leave.
Speaker 1: He can't believe he lost, but his dad explains he
Speaker 1: didn't lose. He did something he loves and he's really
Speaker 1: good at it too. He wants his son to do
Speaker 1: whatever makes him happy, because winner lose, they'll always be
Speaker 1: a team. As they hug the groundhogs run in, Eddie
Speaker 1: apologizes for letting them down, but they reveal they won
Speaker 1: and they circle around him to celebrate. Francisco runs off
Speaker 1: to Bobby Flay to let him know that his friend
Speaker 1: Eddie was the best cook no matter what the judges say,
Speaker 1: and Flay seems to agree, but he points to Eddie
Speaker 1: and his friends and explains he looks like a winner
Speaker 1: to me. Coachank suggests they all go eat to celebrate,
Speaker 1: and Eddie suggests Eddie doggs. He even invites the dorky
Speaker 1: yet stunningly beautiful Bridget to join. And that's our movie.
Speaker 1: Who I think it's time for some real reviews and
Speaker 1: I get the five star this week. I'm very excited
Speaker 1: about the five star review. It is from CMC, which
Speaker 1: sounds a bit like a professional wrestler. Eddie the jock
Speaker 1: goes through all of the angst, guilt, rejection, and fear
Speaker 1: that any fourteen year old boy would have upon realizing
Speaker 1: he was quote unquote different. However, Disney and their infinite
Speaker 1: wisdom super sanitizes the story so Eddie comes out as
Speaker 1: chef instead of gay. I won't criticize it too much
Speaker 1: because it was two thousand and three, but it's cute
Speaker 1: and entertaining if you don't have much to do. Five stars, Sabrina,
Speaker 1: what do you got?
Speaker 3: I got a one star over here with Ricky you
Speaker 3: you'll love this movie if you like cooking.
Speaker 2: Problem is I hate cooking?
Speaker 1: Okay? Well that sums it up, doesn't it. There we go,
Speaker 1: oh man, and now, of course, to Sabrina's favorite portion
Speaker 1: of the program. We are coming to our eat Your
Speaker 1: game and producer Jensen is putting us through the wringer
Speaker 1: yet again. This game is called four Ingredients to honor
Speaker 1: the cooking skills of Eddie Ogden. We're looking at the
Speaker 1: kitchen for this week's game. We'll be given a popular
Speaker 1: dish and three ingredients used to make it, but it's
Speaker 1: missing the fourth and final ingredient. We have to guess
Speaker 1: what that fourth ingredient is. Three out of five wins.
Speaker 1: Producer Jensen. Do you have your apron on? Are you ready?
Speaker 1: Bone a petit? Here we go Number one garlic, butter, pasta, spaghetti, butter,
Speaker 1: garlic and sabrina.
Speaker 2: It's already cooked garlic. Let me see. I don't know
Speaker 2: that it could be anything.
Speaker 1: Well, it can't technically be anything. I know. I think
Speaker 1: I know what it is. You wouldn't put ketchup on this, No,
Speaker 1: I would say salt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess salt.
Speaker 1: I think it's a good guess. It's a good guess.
Speaker 1: But this answer is parmesan on cheese. Oh but the
Speaker 1: parmesan is is I guess for a that's a garnish
Speaker 1: on the top. If you like, I don't like salt.
Speaker 1: Salt salts in the water and salt. You need salt
Speaker 1: is an ingredient? I would think, I don't think you
Speaker 1: need salt. I think you need parmesan cheese. Okay, all right.
Speaker 2: I would also be like, it's fair to say you
Speaker 2: need water.
Speaker 1: Well, that's ingred ingredients. Okay, all right, I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get in my own head I'm giving myself that
Speaker 1: one for salt. But anyway. Number two capraisee skewers, cherry tomatoes,
Speaker 1: fresh mozzarella balls, balsamic blaze, and you need the I
Speaker 1: mean this one is on every this one I think
Speaker 1: I got.
Speaker 3: Will if well salt, salt if I what if I
Speaker 3: said the skewer.
Speaker 1: Okay, exactly, you said the green little leaf. I'll give
Speaker 1: you the name. I think it's basil. Yeah, I'll give
Speaker 1: it to you. I'll Number three peanut butter, banana, toast bread, banana,
Speaker 1: peanut butter, and ummmm, the toaster.
Speaker 2: Like probably don't you have to have some kind of
Speaker 2: glaze on it? Honey, Honey, I would say.
Speaker 1: Honey, it is correct, So Brina, Brian, Honey, there we go. Uh.
Speaker 1: Number four Greek yogurt parfe. Number one Greek yogurt, two honey,
Speaker 1: three berries and granola. Yeah you guys, you got it.
Speaker 1: Three three, three answers. You got one just for fun here, yeah, one,
Speaker 1: here's for funzies.
Speaker 3: Number five, Oh, breakfast tacos could be anything.
Speaker 1: But will said salt. I guarantee you no one thought
Speaker 1: you were getting this, No, exactly, Number five breakfast tacos tortilla,
Speaker 1: scrambled eggs, shredded cheese and salt. No, I'm kidding, tortillas,
Speaker 1: scrambled eggs, spread cheese, and SALTA it happens. It's salta yeah,
Speaker 1: it's saltsa. Yes, yes, I'm giving myself the first one
Speaker 1: for salt. By the way, So I went five for
Speaker 1: five easily. Can we do some Sabrina sees yes?
Speaker 3: Oh man, I mean, in all honesty, they've all been said,
Speaker 3: everything has been said through this this script today.
Speaker 2: So I really don't have a ton.
Speaker 3: I did notice, just kind of from like other things
Speaker 3: with the the stuff we get. This actually released almost
Speaker 3: one month, like to the day, almost before the Cheatah
Speaker 3: first Cheetah Girls movie.
Speaker 2: So I shock because I felt like this one seemed a.
Speaker 3: Little bit older than our first movie in maybe just
Speaker 3: maybe just what they were talking about is what made
Speaker 3: me think that.
Speaker 2: What did you think about the music? We didn't talk
Speaker 2: about that.
Speaker 3: That's one thing we didn't talk about that made a
Speaker 3: huge difference in what made me think it was an
Speaker 3: older movie as well.
Speaker 1: You know what's funny is I didn't other than the
Speaker 1: John Fogerty song, I don't remember any of it.
Speaker 3: It was just kind of it was what back then
Speaker 3: the Brink of the Johnny Like, it was just like
Speaker 3: it wasn't ska like those two movies actually have, but
Speaker 3: like that old school kind of no, not anything real
Speaker 3: recognizable except for that one, but you know, but like
Speaker 3: kind of just like the like viscript.
Speaker 2: Dis yeah, Disney movie music. So that was kind of nice.
Speaker 2: I actually kind of liked it.
Speaker 3: Since we've done so many musicals and music plays such
Speaker 3: a big part in some of the movies we've done,
Speaker 3: it was nice for it to just be a kind
Speaker 3: of mellow soundtrack that didn't have wasn't like a basically
Speaker 3: a character in the movie. And then another one was
Speaker 3: just shout out to Orlando Brown. I worked with him
Speaker 3: like years prior to these two movies being done on
Speaker 3: a commercial and then I ended up hiring his manager
Speaker 3: to manage me, who managed me while I did the
Speaker 3: first movie. So Orlando was like I got to go
Speaker 3: visit him on set, and I was really kind of
Speaker 3: able to know Orlando right during this exact time of
Speaker 3: him making this movie, and he was such a cute
Speaker 3: Disney character and anything he does, like he's got that
Speaker 3: like over the top, like big facials, beat your Kid energy,
Speaker 3: Yes he does. I think I love I think he
Speaker 3: was like for me, especially watching him in this movie.
Speaker 3: He was like the prime of what was on the
Speaker 3: Disney Channel at this time, and so that was kind
Speaker 3: of really, honestly, my last one. I've got the old
Speaker 3: school TV than the one that's in the thing. I've
Speaker 3: got the food fight, I've got you know, following, I've
Speaker 3: got ground dogs make me think of groundlings.
Speaker 2: All of those things. Everything we talked about already. So
Speaker 2: those are just a few few ones we didn't we
Speaker 2: didn't hit today.
Speaker 1: I love it. And now it's time to rate our film.
Speaker 1: I honestly, I feel like we haven't done this in
Speaker 1: a while. I don't even remember who went last and
Speaker 1: who didn't go last. Oh man, how about that? Pick
Speaker 1: a number between one and ten?
Speaker 2: Is that the rating?
Speaker 1: Go ahead? No, just pick a number and see who's
Speaker 1: gonn go first? Picking on Brie. No, you're wrong, so
Speaker 1: you go first, kid?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 3: Okay, So this movie was harder for me than than
Speaker 3: the movies we've been watching, because I'm torn. To me,
Speaker 3: this is what like a Disney Channel movie was kind
Speaker 3: of like at this time, which wasn't the is so
Speaker 3: far from the level of what we get now, right,
Speaker 3: So that is like two different feelings for me. One,
Speaker 3: it makes me kind of go, this was a Disney
Speaker 3: Channel movie, like this is this is what was coming
Speaker 3: out every like, like I said, it was a month
Speaker 3: before our so this was when they were coming out monthly, right,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Yeah, there wasn't anything like
Speaker 3: super special about it.
Speaker 2: I liked the idea of, you know, a chef.
Speaker 3: I think that that is so cool for a kid
Speaker 3: to think, like, oh my gosh, like I want to
Speaker 3: be a chef.
Speaker 2: I love cooking in the kitchen. I love that. You know,
Speaker 2: we've already seen you know, we always see baseball.
Speaker 3: That's not like something different with chef is that we
Speaker 3: get that little what do you call it, the little
Speaker 3: micro world type thing, you.
Speaker 1: Know, which at the time it was getting more popular,
Speaker 1: but it was it where it is now certainly.
Speaker 2: No, So I definitely I was torn.
Speaker 3: There's parts of it where I was kind of like, Okay,
Speaker 3: you know it, I'll go with it whatever, And then
Speaker 3: there's other parts like some of maybe not you know,
Speaker 3: maybe not always the best acting or the accents a
Speaker 3: lot of use of which makes me also kind of
Speaker 3: gear into a lot of that dubbing that we saw
Speaker 3: probably was because of maybe some of that.
Speaker 2: So I don't know.
Speaker 3: It's a tough one and I'm just gonna have to
Speaker 3: kind of go right down the middle.
Speaker 2: Paul Hoan's a part of it. So it gets bumped
Speaker 2: up a little bit.
Speaker 3: And we haven't even talked about what we're doing with
Speaker 3: these yet, so I can't say what my rating is.
Speaker 2: We didn't talk.
Speaker 1: About right, Oh my god, that's right, our options. Let's
Speaker 1: I want to tell you, no, I didn't. If you're right,
Speaker 1: do we want to do one out of ten players?
Speaker 1: One out of ten, misleading contest names, one out of ten,
Speaker 1: enemies of small business, cookie walks, intricate food fights, one
Speaker 1: out of ten. Reasons You're unpopular? One out of ten
Speaker 1: expensive John Fogerty songs, dugout TVs or I'm gonna want
Speaker 1: to add ups batter ups wants let's do that one
Speaker 1: out of ten batter Ups.
Speaker 3: Even though that's a great name, this movie's gonna get
Speaker 3: a six out of ten batter ups because.
Speaker 2: It really was like hard for me. At parts of it,
Speaker 2: I was like what, And.
Speaker 3: Then parts of it I was like, well, it's like
Speaker 3: the time, it's of the time, it's of the time.
Speaker 3: So I'm just out of six. Don't hate me, Paul,
Speaker 3: I love you still.
Speaker 1: Daddy, Daddy? Did you just say I love you daddy? Owen?
Speaker 1: Is that because that's gonna get now we're getting creepier.
Speaker 2: Yeah, get back somebody that right.
Speaker 1: I vote keep it in. So I agree with everything
Speaker 1: you said. I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said. It
Speaker 1: is hearing that this was a month from because I
Speaker 1: think I think the more we're looking into this world
Speaker 1: of d cooms, the more we can really see the
Speaker 1: delineation between I'm gonna call it PCG pre Cheetah Girls
Speaker 1: and also PCG Post Treated Girl Cheata Girls, because I
Speaker 1: think after the Cheetah Girls and the success that they
Speaker 1: had with your film, it did change what they were
Speaker 1: looking for. Then came the high school musicals and the
Speaker 1: teen beaches and all that. It became much more grand.
Speaker 1: So this was kind of like the last of these
Speaker 1: movies that, like you said, were thrown out. They were
Speaker 1: there every month. It was cute. It was the you
Speaker 1: get cute kids to kind of say the lines, and
Speaker 1: you introduced a microworld, whether it be rollerblading or whether
Speaker 1: it be cooking or whatever it is. So yes, I
Speaker 1: think this was kind of the last of that era
Speaker 1: before the new post Cheetah Girls era started, which changed
Speaker 1: everything for the dcom. That being said, this wasn't that
Speaker 1: great a version of that. Some of the acting wasn't great,
Speaker 1: some of the writing wasn't great. The direction's awesome. It's
Speaker 1: Paul ho and I mean obviously, but you know, again,
Speaker 1: they bullied the hell out of this girl who was
Speaker 1: horribly miscast the gender thing. I really do think they
Speaker 1: were going for kind of a coming out story, I
Speaker 1: really do. But overall, just it was an okay movie.
Speaker 1: It's kind of right down the middle. I was gonna
Speaker 1: give it a five if anybody else but Paul Hoan
Speaker 1: directed it, and I'm gonna agree with you entirely. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give this six batter ups are a better title
Speaker 1: because it was just kind of like I finished and
Speaker 1: I went that was a movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I watched and I think.
Speaker 3: You know what's also hard is because we're getting input
Speaker 3: from the fans of our podcast of what they want
Speaker 3: to see and what they want us to rewatch.
Speaker 2: This one was kind of.
Speaker 3: Talked up, kind of a lot, so they they might
Speaker 3: have been a little bit of the reason why we
Speaker 3: were expecting something more.
Speaker 1: Right, No, I agree, I agree one hundred percent. So
Speaker 1: it's uh, yeah, I think we're on the se same,
Speaker 1: the same.
Speaker 2: Well look at that, at us, look at that. I
Speaker 2: feel like we have been done one of these in
Speaker 2: so long.
Speaker 1: I right back in simatico sim patigo. Now our next movie,
Speaker 1: what's one of the bones we were just talking about.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a sequel that we've been waiting for.
Speaker 1: It's twenty fifteen's teen Beach two. This time it's personal.
Speaker 1: The time traveling musical is back. And if you remember
Speaker 1: how the original one ended, and I had to rack
Speaker 1: my brain to remember this, I may need to watch
Speaker 1: some of the first one.
Speaker 2: I think I might do that. Yeah, I think I
Speaker 2: might do.
Speaker 1: I think our friends from the sixties will be visiting
Speaker 1: modern day now. So that's exciting. It's a reversal. Remember
Speaker 1: they were like they came off the came out of
Speaker 1: the water at the end. So yeah, but first before
Speaker 1: we get there, we mentioned it earlier, and now we
Speaker 1: will return to an old favorite. Rip girls. Yes, Janie' tsunami.
Speaker 1: We talked to the man who plays Sydney's dad, actor
Speaker 1: Dwyer Brown. We chatted all about his time in New Zealand,
Speaker 1: pretending it was why and what it was like shooting
Speaker 1: a surf dcom. Let's get a little preview of what
Speaker 1: you're here this week on the dedicated magical rewind Feed. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they had me audition, and you know, I it
Speaker 4: was exciting because I you know, the show takes place
Speaker 4: in Hawaii, and I thought, oh, man, if I get
Speaker 4: to get Hawaii, that's my favorite way to travel. You go,
Speaker 4: you know, get getting paid to be some beautiful player.
Speaker 4: So I was very excited about it. And when I
Speaker 4: ended up getting it, what was even more crazy was
Speaker 4: that they said we're shooting in Australia, and I'm like,
Speaker 4: that's even better.
Speaker 1: You know, he was cool and that was a very
Speaker 1: good conversation.
