Speaker 1: We're here, Sabrina. It's happening. It is time, It is time.
Speaker 1: This is the one that I've been hearing about since
Speaker 1: we started this podcast. Everybody's like, oh my god, you can't.
Speaker 1: Oh geez, wait till you get to this, Wait till
Speaker 1: you get to that, Wait till you get and we're here,
Speaker 1: and I think we just jump right into it. I
Speaker 1: know we're supposed to do pre show stuff, but I
Speaker 1: don't think we do anything pre show because the actual
Speaker 1: show is well, it is what it is. So let's
Speaker 1: start by saying, welcome back to Magical Rewind, the show
Speaker 1: that makes you want to grab your friends, your pjs,
Speaker 1: and your popcorn and go back to a time when
Speaker 1: all the houses were smart, the waves, tsunamis, and the high.
Speaker 2: School's musical teo. What, yes, that is correct. I'm Wilford
Speaker 2: Dell and I'm Sabrina Brian, and we.
Speaker 1: Are entering sequel territory here on Magical Rewind for the
Speaker 1: very first time. Because there's a bunch let's be honest there.
Speaker 1: I mean, every good movie that has is on the channel.
Speaker 1: It's not every good movie, but a lot of the
Speaker 1: good movies that become franchises it's the sequels that I
Speaker 1: hear are better than the original.
Speaker 2: Forward to seeing the sequel of every single movie that
Speaker 2: has one offered that was watched already. I am looking
Speaker 2: forward to every single one of them.
Speaker 1: I've heard High School Musical two, which is what we're
Speaker 1: doing today, is better than High School Musical. I heard
Speaker 1: Cheetah Girls too is better than the first Cheatah Girls.
Speaker 1: I've heard every Zombies too. I mean, you name it.
Speaker 1: Everybody's talking about how the sequels are better than the
Speaker 1: first one. And we're gonna put that theory to the
Speaker 1: test today again. It is summer break now, and the
Speaker 1: gang is working at a country club. It is time
Speaker 1: to break down two thousand and seven's blockbuster follow up.
Speaker 2: Yes, it is High School Musical two. Now.
Speaker 1: Did you watch this one when it aired? You like
Speaker 1: one of the people sitting down to way.
Speaker 2: I got to go to the world premiere for this one. Oh.
Speaker 2: I got to be there. Oh it was amazing. I mean,
Speaker 2: you had heard the rumble of the High School Musical franchise.
Speaker 2: This was right in the mecca time of when I
Speaker 2: was a part of the Channel. I had shot Jeedah
Speaker 2: Girls Do with Kenny by this time and so you
Speaker 2: were really looking for I was really looking forward to
Speaker 2: seeing the second one because I knew, just from my
Speaker 2: own experience, how much more production value, how much better
Speaker 2: everything was with the Cheetah Girls. So I was excited
Speaker 2: to see what they have done with High School Musical two,
Speaker 2: and it did disappoint. It was awesome, you know, Zach
Speaker 2: and Vanessa were there. They were on fire. They were
Speaker 2: the it couple. They were as big as Britney Spears
Speaker 2: and she was really they were as big as that.
Speaker 2: You know. It was just everything, you know, everyone you had,
Speaker 2: All of those stars were just blowing up Disdale. I
Speaker 2: mean every single one of them was just huge by then,
Speaker 2: so it was a big deal.
Speaker 1: Where was it they do it? The El Caps? Where'd
Speaker 1: they do it?
Speaker 2: I don't even Yeah, it had to have been, I'm assuming, oh,
Speaker 2: Disney it was at Disneyland. Wow, I don't, gosh, I
Speaker 2: don't remember that. I remember it's because you're I know.
Speaker 2: I remember Pirates of the Caribbean premiere at Disneyland, the
Speaker 2: one that I went to, but I don't remember it
Speaker 2: being at Disneyland, but I'm sure it was huge and
Speaker 2: oh movie was so awesome.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, because this is this is arguably the biggest
Speaker 1: dcom that we're going to recap, which is saying something.
Speaker 1: With the unprecedented success of High School Musical, there was
Speaker 1: never a doubt that the channel will be returning to
Speaker 1: East High and they did it as quickly as is
Speaker 1: humanly possible, just under a year and a half later.
Speaker 1: The sequel aired, Yes, an entire movie a year and
Speaker 1: a half later, aired not shot, Yes shot and aired
Speaker 1: a year and a half later. And for anybody in
Speaker 1: the movie industry, they know that's insanity. The sequel aired,
Speaker 1: it marked the seventieth dcom ever produced, and though each
Speaker 1: of the young starstock had risen beyond predictability, they all return.
Speaker 2: For the sequel.
Speaker 1: But you can probably attribute that to Ironcloud Disney contracts.
Speaker 1: But actually we know for a fact that's not necessarily
Speaker 1: the truth. I think they all came back because they
Speaker 1: knew it was going to be bigger and better, and
Speaker 1: they probably got paid more money.
Speaker 2: That's true, but absolutely so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it was a much different experience. We've heard
Speaker 1: from several people how much of a different experience it was.
Speaker 1: But it was a juggernaut. You can't spell High School
Speaker 1: Musical without Utah. I didn't actually double check that you
Speaker 1: might be able to. But so production has returned to
Speaker 1: the mecca of d cooms once again, filming at the
Speaker 1: real East High in Salt Lake City, but most of
Speaker 1: the production actually took place in Saint George, Utah at
Speaker 1: the Entrada Resort, and many real members of the resort
Speaker 1: were actually used in the movie. And you might be asking,
Speaker 1: was the second movie as popular as the original? Huh?
Speaker 1: That's interesting because I would.
Speaker 2: Screen back at you, yes, very very loudly.
Speaker 1: It actually became the most commercially successful dcom ever produced.
Speaker 1: This is Avatar of d Cooms with less NAVI and
Speaker 1: way more hair swoops.
Speaker 2: We're talking seventeen point three million.
Speaker 1: Viewers turned in for the first showing. That's unheard of,
Speaker 1: making a brand new basic cable record. The former record
Speaker 1: holder was ESPN's Monday Night Football in two thousand and
Speaker 1: six with a game between the New York Giants and
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. It still to this day ranks as the
Speaker 1: highest number of viewers the network has ever received. It
Speaker 1: also saw massive debuts in Latin America, Brazil, the United Kingdom,
Speaker 1: all over the place. The list goes on and on.
Speaker 1: So was it as successful as original again I scream
Speaker 1: at you, Yes it was, and then.
Speaker 2: Some bigger and better oh.
Speaker 1: Man, amazing, And not just the movie, but the soundtrack
Speaker 1: also debuted at number one, selling more than two million
Speaker 1: copies in its first week, and its first single, what
Speaker 1: Time Is It reached number six on the bill Hot
Speaker 1: one hundred and yes, this time we actually heard the
Speaker 1: singing voice of Zach Efron. No dubbing took place, no
Speaker 1: drew sillly, and yes he can sing. All that controversy
Speaker 1: for nothing. But musically, if High School Musical one was
Speaker 1: the Backstreet Boys, High School Musical two was en sync,
Speaker 1: pay attitude and perfected it. Audiences and critics alike seem
Speaker 1: to consider it better than the first, so we'll see
Speaker 1: what we think. And it's also worth noting the third
Speaker 1: and final High School Musical so far, would be released
Speaker 1: in theaters one year later. Released in theaters a year later,
Speaker 1: another pioneering move for the dcom and allegedly they made
Speaker 1: this movie for just wait for it, folks, seven million
Speaker 1: dollars over three weeks of rehearsal and five weeks of filming,
Speaker 1: which is super impressive for the channel's production team, not
Speaker 1: ballooning costs just because of the success. Keep it very,
Speaker 1: very very very profitable. That I can hear everyone from
Speaker 1: the Disney Channel saying that I can hear all everybody
Speaker 1: from the top down. Let's keep it profitable people, speaking
Speaker 1: of prophets. The channel also aired a weekly show called
Speaker 1: Road to High School Musical leading up to the premiere,
Speaker 1: giving fans a behind the scenes look into the making
Speaker 1: of the movie. They were milking this one, people, Let's
Speaker 1: milk it for all we can now. As you can
Speaker 1: probably guess, High School Musical two is a mainstay on
Speaker 1: Disney Plus, as is all the movies and spinoffs from
Speaker 1: the IP. So you can watch it now and then
Speaker 1: listen to us, or listen to us and never watch it.
Speaker 1: The thing that makes humans different than robots or emotions
Speaker 1: and feelings, and you can exercise both and use them
Speaker 1: both to decide what you're going to do. Did you
Speaker 1: own the soundtrack?
Speaker 2: I did not.
Speaker 1: Did you sing along? Can you sing with the songs?
Speaker 2: I be honest you three of the songs iristally knew
Speaker 2: what time is it? The baseball version of gets You
Speaker 2: Ahead in the Game, which I can't think of. What
Speaker 2: the title of that one? Is That's what it was?
Speaker 1: Best it was I'm not gonna dance, isn't it? I
Speaker 1: don't dance?
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't. We'll get into that.
Speaker 1: I've got to recognize that.
Speaker 2: And and then I definitely recognize one that we will
Speaker 2: definitely get into. And it's a Zach's solo song, that
Speaker 2: one I did as.
Speaker 1: Well, where he's running on the golf course by himself.
Speaker 2: I cannot wait to talk about that one. We will
Speaker 2: not give any teasers just yet, not too much. Well,
Speaker 2: don't you even look funny saying anything?
Speaker 1: I am not, and.
Speaker 2: I can't wait. We will get to it when it's time.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying anything. Can we also get a quick
Speaker 1: Disney Games check from you? Here? Did you play with
Speaker 1: her against anybody in this movie?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: Gosh?
Speaker 2: Now I got to look at my text message from
Speaker 2: Lisa to see who was Do you.
Speaker 1: Not remember who was on TV YO? I think once
Speaker 1: you see Jason Dolly, everything else just turns storry around.
Speaker 2: You, sir, Jason, let me check. Yeah, she's literally going
Speaker 2: back to check her. I do not have anyone from
Speaker 2: high school music. I do, however, have Selena.
Speaker 1: Go, which you found out later, which we love great
Speaker 1: so we know you knew all about the movie, but Sabrina,
Speaker 1: when was the last time you actually watched this movie?
Speaker 1: It was the.
Speaker 2: PARI had that premiere?
Speaker 1: Really, so you haven't seen it since?
Speaker 2: No? No, okay, they have it.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I have a lot of love and respect for High
Speaker 2: School Musical, but I wasn't necessarily a fan in that sense, right,
Speaker 2: I mean, I wasn't sitting and watching a lot of
Speaker 2: Disney movies during that time when.
Speaker 1: I in your early twentiesen point twenty two twenties.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, so I'm not. I wasn't a fan.
Speaker 2: I loved and I got to know the kids and
Speaker 2: the actors and everything. You know, we got to be
Speaker 2: around each other all the time. But I wasn't necessarily
Speaker 2: someone watching the movies. I loved going to the premiere,
Speaker 2: I loved watching it. Thought the movie was great. But
Speaker 2: that's kind of where it started.
Speaker 1: No, I guess that That's the thing about Disney Channel
Speaker 1: is usually when you're you're in your late teens early twenties,
Speaker 1: you're usually not watching the Disney Channel and more some
Speaker 1: people but not most.
Speaker 2: So, Yeah, when you watch it, you see it once
Speaker 2: and you're not but you're not like a rabid fan.
Speaker 1: Right, And this again also to show the power of
Speaker 1: this franchise. In this movie, I always come to this
Speaker 1: party and I go.
Speaker 2: Of course I never heard of it.
Speaker 1: Of course I heard of High School Musical. Everybody had
Speaker 1: heard of High School Musical. It was everywhere. So I'm
Speaker 1: forty eight at the time this movie came out, or
Speaker 1: however the hell old that was?
Speaker 2: I wasn't, but I was.
Speaker 1: I was probably what twenty eight, twenty nine when this
Speaker 1: movie came out in two thousand and seven. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was was. I'm an old so I was thirty one.
Speaker 2: You were not watching it. You might have heard about,
Speaker 2: obviously the movie, maybe even Zach Effron and Vanessa Hudgens.
Speaker 1: At that point, yes, right, But I didn't. You know,
Speaker 1: obviously I had never seen any of these movies, which
Speaker 1: we've talked about. But if everybody heard of High School Musical,
Speaker 1: it was, it was everywhere. So let's get into the movie.
Speaker 1: But I would like to start by saying, every day
Speaker 1: I got to go on my own way, So even
Speaker 1: though I don't dance, it's time to bed on it
Speaker 1: and get into the synopsis. Thank you everybody. That was
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of songs put together. Troy, Gabriella, and
Speaker 1: the East Side Wildcats, all in this navigate summer jobs
Speaker 1: at a country club while facing challenges to their friendships
Speaker 1: and relationships thanks to sharpey her scheming, and Troy struggles
Speaker 1: to balance ambition with loyalty. Early thoughts, Sabrina, what'd you
Speaker 1: think of the movie?
Speaker 2: You know, I kind of didn't remember a whole lot
Speaker 2: of it. I knew they were at a resort, I
Speaker 2: remember that, But I remember being in the seats and going,
Speaker 2: this movie's not gonna happen in like Wildcat Nation. Yeah
Speaker 2: what their movie? I mean, it was such a huge
Speaker 2: I felt like that high school itself was its own entity.
Speaker 2: It was a character character of the first movie. I
Speaker 2: remember being so shocked when I first saw it that
Speaker 2: we quickly move right on from that high school. I
Speaker 2: was not expecting that at all. So early thoughts, I
Speaker 2: was like thinking, how are they going to do a
Speaker 2: high school? Is it going to be just basically the
Speaker 2: same thing, And being so happy and surprise that this
Speaker 2: is into a whole nother dynamic and place for the movie.
Speaker 2: So I was really happy and I really enjoyed this movie.
Speaker 2: I really did. I liked it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be totally honest with you. I think I'm
Speaker 1: in the huge minority where I very much preferred the
Speaker 1: first one.
Speaker 2: Really I did. I thought there was something, There was
Speaker 2: a cheesiness.
Speaker 1: Factor to this second movie that wasn't necessarily in the
Speaker 1: first one.
Speaker 2: I would agree with that they went musical Newsz's but.
Speaker 1: Like almost stereotypical is not the right word, but almost
Speaker 1: caricatury of kids doing like a high school musical kind
Speaker 1: of thing that was not in the first one. And
Speaker 1: I think it's because in the first one, the actors
Speaker 1: didn't know what it was going to be, didn't know
Speaker 1: what it was going to become. We're getting to know
Speaker 1: each other. There was something very sweet about kind of
Speaker 1: Zach and Vanessa in the first one, whereas this one,
Speaker 1: it was they were everything seemed amped up a little
Speaker 1: bit to the point where obviously the movie is more slick.
Speaker 1: There's way more dance numbers. It looks beautiful. Ashley Tisdale
Speaker 1: steals every movie that she's in. She is so good
Speaker 1: in these movies, especially in this movie. I know that
Speaker 1: Zach and Vanessa became the it couple and took off,
Speaker 1: but she's so good in this movie. Yes, and so
Speaker 1: I I just yeah, I prefer the first one. There's
Speaker 1: some and we'll get into the golf course dancing some
Speaker 1: things where I'm I was just checked out. Oh dude,
Speaker 1: by the time he's looking at a bathroom break right
Speaker 1: now when he gets to the digital reflection of himself
Speaker 1: on the pond, Oh my god. Not enough weed in
Speaker 1: the world to make me get through that scene without
Speaker 1: laughing hysterically. So it was it was this was again
Speaker 1: I did. I'm watching him for what they are and
Speaker 1: so still really enjoyable, very very fun movie. The cast
Speaker 1: is great. I get what they're doing. I think things
Speaker 1: like the Zombies movie and some of the Descendants that
Speaker 1: we've seen so far. I think Cheetah Girls, at least
Speaker 1: the first one. I haven't seen the other ones, but
Speaker 1: those don't seem to have that cheesiness factor that this
Speaker 1: movie did for me.
Speaker 2: That's interesting.
Speaker 1: So the first one, I liked, the first one, enjoyed
Speaker 1: this movie. Liked the first one better, And I know
Speaker 1: I'm so in the minority, but I likemore.
Speaker 2: You might not be that much in the minority. I
Speaker 2: think people their love of the movies continued. They wanted
Speaker 2: to show, like you said, the chemistry on on the movies. Sharpey,
Speaker 2: her character just took a huge leap, just huge leap forward,
Speaker 2: which was just hilarious. She's great, addictive almost her character
Speaker 2: is almost addictive in this play, in this movie, of
Speaker 2: just wanting to see her more and more. But I
Speaker 2: do think there is, like you said, a lot of
Speaker 2: people say the original you just can't be I've heard
Speaker 2: that before. It kind of it is because again, like
Speaker 2: you said, these are all fresh faces on the Channel,
Speaker 2: and you really think about falling in love with them.
Speaker 2: By the time the second movie is you are already
Speaker 2: hook Line and Seeker. It wouldn't matter what they put
Speaker 2: out for the second one, to be honest, because these fans,
Speaker 2: I remember it. I was a part of the channel
Speaker 2: when it was going on. They bought Soul, they were
Speaker 2: selling anything. They yes, they would they would buy anything
Speaker 2: that the channel. And I get it. I get it.
Speaker 1: If I'm especially and you know, I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: pigeonhole anything. But if I'm especially a twelve or thirteen
Speaker 1: year old girl and I'm watching these movies, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'd watch them with my friends. I'd watch them over
Speaker 1: and over again. I'd learned the dance scenes. I'd want
Speaker 1: to know what was going on. You're also you also
Speaker 1: know that, I mean, there's no social media really at
Speaker 1: the time, so to become such a power couple in
Speaker 1: Hollywood that without social media, people still know everything going
Speaker 1: on in your lives. And it's these two young people
Speaker 1: and oh you get to watch that kind of drama
Speaker 1: on fold in front of you.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: I totally totally get it, totally by by digital reflection, though,
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, this is are we are. We are
Speaker 1: through the looking glass. I know, I know we.
Speaker 2: Won't fifteen minute moment of.
Speaker 1: This because I just want you to know I worked
Speaker 1: on it all last night. I have the entire dance
Speaker 1: number down and I'm going to show it to you
Speaker 1: all here.
Speaker 2: Thanks.
Speaker 1: So I also have something else I want to do
Speaker 1: later in the podcast that I think is going to
Speaker 1: be necessary and I think you're going to agree with me.
Speaker 1: But anyway, High School Musical two retained its visionary director,
Speaker 1: True Musical and Disney Royalty and hopefully hopefully future interview
Speaker 1: on the show, because man would be love to talk
Speaker 1: to him. Kenny Ortega, the man has done it. All.
Speaker 1: Starting his career by choreographing Olivia Newton John's iconic Let's
Speaker 1: Get Physical video and working with Michael Jackson, Rod Stewart,
Speaker 1: Madonna and John Hughes on Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller's
Speaker 1: Day Off, and then becoming a dance mastermind on a
Speaker 1: little movie called Dirty Dancing. He has since become a
Speaker 1: Disney legend directing Hocus Pocus Newsi's the entire high school
Speaker 1: musical film franchise, and now The Descendants and Sabrina also
Speaker 1: work with him here on another small little movie they
Speaker 1: did called Cheetah Girls Too. I mean, this guy has
Speaker 1: just done it all. Zac Efron, of course, returns as
Speaker 1: Troy Bolton, now says the voice of Drew Silely. Since
Speaker 1: the first film, he has become a heart throb around
Speaker 1: the globe. I can ask you this question, but I
Speaker 1: know the answer.
Speaker 2: I hope.
Speaker 1: Was he dreamy to you? I'm hoping not because he
Speaker 1: was like fifteen and you were twenty three or whatever.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, he was very young. But I remember
Speaker 2: meeting him and Vanessa out and about something for the
Speaker 2: Channel and thinking, gosh, this kid is so sweet and eighteen.
Speaker 3: I guess that.
Speaker 2: Night she wasn't that much younger than I was at
Speaker 2: your same time. He was, you know, younger, and but
Speaker 2: just he had it together.
Speaker 1: He didn't.
Speaker 2: He held himself like a young Brad Pitt, like that's
Speaker 2: what I would think, Like, I mean, he just had
Speaker 2: so much poise. He was so sweet. He had direct
Speaker 2: die contact with you, didn't matter how many people were
Speaker 2: in the room, you know, he always catered. He was
Speaker 2: very kind to his girlfriend, which obviously as a girl,
Speaker 2: I appreciated it. Shot to see he was just he
Speaker 2: was amazing. He was a great, great guy and that's
Speaker 2: so so.
Speaker 1: Sweet, awesome to hear. And he's obviously a superstar and
Speaker 1: deserves to be. Vanessa Hudgens is Gabriella Montez, another standout
Speaker 1: from the original. Her stock was rising uber quickly as well,
Speaker 1: and then, of course, Ashley Tisdale returns as Sharpay Evans,
Speaker 1: the villain of the movie, though she did end the
Speaker 1: first movie with a very soft pathetic sorry, so we'll
Speaker 1: see how that plays out. That I thought was a
Speaker 1: very strange. I thought she was going to be part
Speaker 1: of the group when they got there, and then she
Speaker 1: kind of wasn't. But she's so good in this movie,
Speaker 1: and this is what I wanted to do. We have
Speaker 1: Sir Jason Dolly. I think she needs to become Lady
Speaker 1: Ashley Tisdale because she can.
Speaker 2: We dup so good out them actually coming and doing
Speaker 2: an interview though, ye all right, okay, yes we can.
Speaker 1: I think we can. It's just deserved because she just
Speaker 1: loves and why we've got again on here, because man,
Speaker 1: she stole this movie. Everybody was good, they really were,
Speaker 1: but she was phenomenal, exploded off the screen with this
Speaker 1: incredible character that she took to the to the ninth degree.
Speaker 1: It was really funny. And then Friends of the Show
Speaker 1: Corbyn Blue and Bart Johnson come back as Chad and
Speaker 1: Coach Jack Bolton, respectively. And Casey Strow is a fan
Speaker 1: fan favorite and is Martha again friend of the show.
Speaker 1: Really the whole crew and we well, I guess we
Speaker 1: can tell you now she's friend of the show because
Speaker 1: she's our park Opper episode. Go listen to that. Yes,
Speaker 1: we can't wait. We get to talk to Casey's Strow anyway. Really,
Speaker 1: the whole crew has reunited, and we get the debut
Speaker 1: of a boy Sharpay's Yorkshire Terrier played by Little Pickles
Speaker 1: Kenny Ortega's real life dog. We also get a very
Speaker 1: surprising cameo at the end of the movie that I
Speaker 1: had to go back and watch again to make sure
Speaker 1: that I saw that correctly, But we will get to
Speaker 1: that later.
Speaker 2: The sequel is a whopping one hundred and four.
Speaker 1: Minutes long, above the ninety minute mark by a very
Speaker 1: decent amount, so we all just have to sit here and.
Speaker 2: Agree that this movie is too long.
Speaker 1: It's too long. It was written by Peter Barsacchini, the
Speaker 1: man who wrote all three movies, as well as Wesley
Speaker 1: Snipe's action movie drop Zone, which I don't know if
Speaker 1: you knew this, Sabrina, but drop Zone was originally a musical,
Speaker 1: right it wasn't, but I thought I had you, So
Speaker 1: here we go, and now I have a question, and
Speaker 1: it's a bit of a thinker. Did they have to
Speaker 1: do a summer vacation movie for the second story? Do
Speaker 1: you like that you talked about getting out of the
Speaker 1: high school? Do you think it would have been better
Speaker 1: had they just kept it in the high school for
Speaker 1: the second one and then maybe the third one takes
Speaker 1: place somewhere else or are you.
Speaker 2: Down when out of high school? Yes? I think it would.
Speaker 2: I honestly was not sure I would. I was kind
Speaker 2: of prepping myself to be a little bored, probably because
Speaker 2: you know, the high school. I felt like they kind
Speaker 2: of did all of that would be done in the
Speaker 2: high school that first movie, so I was really glad
Speaker 2: and happy that they were. It would have felt like
Speaker 2: another elge long gated version of the first one, right,
Speaker 2: It just would have felt like could continue this completely
Speaker 2: switched it up, brought in the ability to bring in
Speaker 2: new characters and just put them outside of the comfort
Speaker 2: zone of the high school. So I loved it.
Speaker 1: I agree hundred percent with you. I also I thought
Speaker 1: the place that they actually shot it visually was.
Speaker 2: Stunning, stunningly stunning.
Speaker 1: I mean, the greenest green you've ever seen next to
Speaker 1: the brownest brown and mountains, and it was absolutely.
Speaker 2: I was like, where in Utah is this? I've never
Speaker 2: seen this part of it. I want to go to
Speaker 2: this I must see I must go to this resort.
Speaker 1: I want to go to this place.
Speaker 2: So we're not going to waste more time here, let's dive.
Speaker 1: Into High School Musical two. We open right back at
Speaker 1: East High School, minutes away from the end of the
Speaker 1: school year. We see some familiar locations. We see the cafeteria,
Speaker 1: the gym, but we are thrown right back into their
Speaker 1: theater class with a bumbling Miss Darbus. She's waxing poetic
Speaker 1: about how the students need to achieve their maximum potential
Speaker 1: this summer, but no one understands a word she's saying
Speaker 1: because they are just staring at the clock waiting for
Speaker 1: summer to begin. We see Troy, Gabriella, Chat Sharpey and
Speaker 1: the regulars counting down the minutes. Eventually they are saved
Speaker 1: by the bell while rhythmically chanting summer and it's officially summer.
Speaker 1: I thought about you. I was hoping for keys jingling,
Speaker 1: and that was going to lead into a song. So
Speaker 1: I know when they start banging on regular stuff that
Speaker 1: leads into a song as your favorite thing in the world.
Speaker 2: They do that later.
Speaker 1: I know I thought about you the whole time. The
Speaker 1: students stand up and start dancing, standing on their desks
Speaker 1: and causing a Disney approved amount of chaos. They break
Speaker 1: into the first song of the movie, What Time is It?
Speaker 1: An Ode to Summer, and we finally hear Zach's actual
Speaker 1: singing voice. What do you think of his actual voice? Sabrina.
Speaker 2: I wasn't surprised that it was better than what I
Speaker 2: think people would assume because he wasn't in the first one.
Speaker 2: So I'm thinking I would assume people were thinking, oh
Speaker 2: my god, he's got this terrible choice. Right, it was.
Speaker 2: It was fine. They didn't give him anything that was
Speaker 2: of a huge range. He was able to stay and
Speaker 2: it wasn't Drew Sturple's zone. It was not Drew Seely
Speaker 2: because Drew Seely's I mean he is, he's a very
Speaker 2: trained professional singer. I think that if I remember correctly,
Speaker 2: and I could totally be wrong, that it wasn't Zach.
Speaker 2: The reason why they didn't do that with Zach is
Speaker 2: he wasn't really super trained in it. And after the
Speaker 2: first one he got very serious about training his voice.
Speaker 2: So he definitely does not have a bad voice. He
Speaker 2: can say exactly. So he was able to train enough
Speaker 2: for the recordings of his of his movies. And I
Speaker 2: think that's incredible to not have something that you've worked
Speaker 2: on your whole life, right, and again, you know quickly
Speaker 2: these these got filmed. The next one filmed right, so
Speaker 2: within a short amount of time. Zach, from what I've heard,
Speaker 2: he busts his ass when he's doing movies. He is like, yeah,
Speaker 2: he's all that actor, he's all in. So I was
Speaker 2: really impressed with it, knowing that he does not come
Speaker 2: from a long life of training of singing.
Speaker 1: So no, I agree, Chris, Yeah, he can definitely sing. Again,
Speaker 1: It wasn't Drucilli, but there are very few people that
Speaker 1: are trained professional singers that can carry something like this,
Speaker 1: And there was never a time where I was like, ooh,
Speaker 1: his voice is really taking me out of it. It wasn't.
Speaker 2: I think they were really smart about what they gave
Speaker 2: him to do, which I think is great.
Speaker 1: He was good. He definitely, he definitely was. So the
Speaker 1: gang anchors the hallway, and we immediately see the extras
Speaker 1: have doubled for the sequel. They've certainly got some people
Speaker 1: around Sharpey and Ryan sing about shopping and being all
Speaker 1: around d bags. While we get the cheerleaders and basketball
Speaker 1: bouncing that we are so accustomed to, we also get
Speaker 1: lyrics about not waking up at six am and staying
Speaker 1: up as late as they want. It sounds a little
Speaker 1: bit like a song we may have gotten during the
Speaker 1: first movie, but everything has been elevated just.
Speaker 2: A little bit.
Speaker 1: That's what I mean by it's like everything's just a
Speaker 1: little bit more, especially evident when we end in the
Speaker 1: storied cafeteria with a big dance piece. The song ends
Speaker 1: with Troy doing a swan dive of sorts, sliding on
Speaker 1: the floor and yelling, yeah, now right off the ba
Speaker 1: here's what I thought. Okay, I was like, Oh, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be cheesier. I mean, that's really what I thought.
Speaker 1: It was. Just there, they've elevated it a little bit more.
Speaker 1: And yes, it came like the first song in the
Speaker 1: first High School Musical, or when they're starting to sing
Speaker 1: with each other the first time Zach and Vanessa sing together,
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. There was like a gentleness about it.
Speaker 1: There was kind of tentative, and then they build into
Speaker 1: it and they and then the big lavish musical numbers started,
Speaker 1: whereas this was like big lavish musical number right off
Speaker 1: the bat, and we are going right away.
Speaker 2: Had to I don't disagree. This comes into play with
Speaker 2: the idea that this is the movie that is coming
Speaker 2: after what is now known as High School Musical. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and so they had to start with this giant lump
Speaker 2: because otherwise their fans, I really believe, would have been like,
Speaker 2: what the hell, what are you bringing? What is this garbage? Yeah?
Speaker 1: No, I don't disagree too.
Speaker 2: I did think the same thing. I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: I don't remember the slide. I don't remember Troy's slide. Yeah,
Speaker 2: But what I will say, what I picked up this
Speaker 2: last time watching it was the level of technique and
Speaker 2: the dancers that they used were phenomenal. Even I saw that.
Speaker 2: Even I saw that.
Speaker 1: It was like, oh this, Oh, and we were just
Speaker 1: got news that supposedly he improved the slide.
Speaker 2: I do not believe that. No, Kenny wouldn't allowed it, Like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, not Kenny wouldn't allowed it. That seemed
Speaker 2: exactly like something that Kenny would direct someone to do.
Speaker 2: I can't. I don't believe that. I could obviously be
Speaker 2: right wrong, but I feel like that looked like a
Speaker 2: full blown just Kenny or take a moment to Okay.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if I believe that, but even
Speaker 1: I can Again, when I noticed something like even I
Speaker 1: saw that the dancing was better, Oh my gosh, it's one.
Speaker 2: Of my Sabrina seesaw. I'll get to it after. But
Speaker 2: there's a point where they do a quad pirouett into
Speaker 2: an attitude coupe into an arabesque, which I saw that too. Yeah,
Speaker 2: did you see it? No, the leaders do this, and
Speaker 2: it was like I rewounded and count how many rotations
Speaker 2: they did and went, oh, my god, that is such
Speaker 2: a technical You do not see that in movies very often,
Speaker 2: and that just shows you. Oh, that's right. They're in Utah,
Speaker 2: one of the mecca of training areas. Wow, I mean
Speaker 2: they brought out some amazing dancers to be a part
Speaker 2: of this.
Speaker 1: Did you're one hundred percent right? Even I saw it.
Speaker 1: So now the boys are walking down the hallway stressing
Speaker 1: about summer jobs. Troy is saving for college, and Chad
Speaker 1: wants to buy a car nearby. Sharpay tells Gabriella she
Speaker 1: feels for her. She moved schools five summer straight and
Speaker 1: she'd hate to say goodbye to her. Now we can.
Speaker 2: Sense the fakeness in her voice, and again.
Speaker 1: Ashley Tisdale steals this movie. Gabriella reveals she'll be at
Speaker 1: East until graduation and admits that she may have gotten
Speaker 1: off to a rough start sharpey, but it all worked
Speaker 1: out in the end. We get some funny vocal exercises here,
Speaker 1: and it's obvious that Vanessa Hudgens is far more comfortable
Speaker 1: than she was in the first movie too. That's the
Speaker 1: other thing I noticed. All the actors are really more
Speaker 1: comfortable in their roles, which is they should be. Martha,
Speaker 1: Kelsey and Monique are on the other side of the
Speaker 1: school going over their summer plans. Troy runs by and
Speaker 1: his way to Gabriella to her locker, which only has
Speaker 1: a single frame picture of them together in it. Very
Speaker 1: cool locker. Gabrielle is also looking for a job, but
Speaker 1: Troy says everything will work out as long as they're together.
Speaker 1: It's a big premise of all these high school musicals,
Speaker 1: the word together. If you take a shot every time
Speaker 1: they say it, you'll be dead by the first.
Speaker 2: Commercial pri Oh my gosh, I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 1: He promises this by giving her a necklace with the
Speaker 1: letter T on it. He says it's for Troy, but
Speaker 1: I also it very much looks like the tea in
Speaker 1: the University of Texas logo. I also frankly think he
Speaker 1: was originally giving it to another girl named Tammy, but
Speaker 1: she has moved away.
Speaker 2: Oh Yeah.
Speaker 1: He also says he wants to see movies with their
Speaker 1: download music, and teacher a twisted flip on a skateboard.
Speaker 1: I don't know why couldn't have just sad a kickflip.
Speaker 1: They had to like make it pat on distance, And
Speaker 1: just before they're about to kiss, a little nerdy boy
Speaker 1: comes up to get his yearbook signed and they're called
Speaker 1: away for basketball. Sharpey overhears these cool plans and is
Speaker 1: already mocking them. She is seething in jealousy and spots Kelsey.
Speaker 1: Sharpei offers Kelsey a job at her family's country club
Speaker 1: as a rehearsal pianist. She accepts and then runs off.
Speaker 1: Ryan tries to cheer up shar but she's fixated on
Speaker 1: the big man on campus, Troy. It might not be
Speaker 1: together now, but it is summer and everything changes. She
Speaker 1: puts on huge two thousand sunglasses that only go well
Speaker 1: with a Von Dutch shirt and she's sachets away.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: With that, the whole student body is back and performing
Speaker 1: what time is it now out in the front quad
Speaker 1: with the school band dancing and hugging.
Speaker 2: The song finally comes to a close with the kids
Speaker 2: going in every direction.
Speaker 1: We're at Troy's house and the boys just finished practicing
Speaker 1: basketball with Troy's dad, the coach, and there's one thing
Speaker 1: we have to see. It's a beautiful kitchen that they're in. Okay,
Speaker 1: I just want you to remember it is a beautiful,
Speaker 1: marble filled, gigantic kitchen. Just putting that out there.
Speaker 2: Okay, here's the other fair you're going with this.
Speaker 1: Okay, here's the other thing. Every single time we see
Speaker 1: coach Bolton, they have basketball's visible. Something basketball is around
Speaker 1: every time Coach Bolten is in the scene. Confirmed, just
Speaker 1: to confirm he was the basketball coach.
Speaker 2: The basketball coach.
Speaker 1: But I'd like to once again point out the beautiful
Speaker 1: kitchen that they're in, very obviously here, but let's keep
Speaker 1: an eye on the basketball thing. Yes, we'll get into
Speaker 1: why I'm pointing that out. There are several things I'd
Speaker 1: like to point out.
Speaker 2: That is one of them.
Speaker 1: The next one I'm pointing out to me. I had
Speaker 1: to rewind it three times to make sure I was right,
Speaker 1: because I was like, what the hell is going on? Anyway,
Speaker 1: the guys admit they still haven't found a job, but
Speaker 1: just then Troy gets a call from the local Lava
Speaker 1: Springs Country Club, which sounds like a soap. They want
Speaker 1: to hire him. He wonders how they got his number,
Speaker 1: and they say they have a student summer work program,
Speaker 1: which doesn't make much sense, but he doesn't care. It
Speaker 1: is a job. He wants the job, but he needs
Speaker 1: them to also hire Gabriella, and they do. He is
Speaker 1: absolutely thrilled. He hides the news from his dad and
Speaker 1: the guys focus on winning back the championship next year.
Speaker 1: Now Here we get a very complex helicopter shot of
Speaker 1: a pink convertible with initials on the hood, driving through
Speaker 1: quote unquote New Mexico, but we know it is Utah,
Speaker 1: but it absolutely looks gorgeous. It is siblings Sharpey and
Speaker 1: Ryan pulling into the lavish Lava Springs Country Club listening
Speaker 1: to a very bad autoitude.
Speaker 2: Song on the radio.
Speaker 1: She gets pink luggage and a bad attitude out of
Speaker 1: the car, but also Kenny or Tega's very cute Doug.
Speaker 1: And this is where we meet Fulton, the resorts manager,
Speaker 1: willing to do anything to make shar and Ryan comfortable.
Speaker 1: She's only concerned if the flyers got made. Fulton shows
Speaker 1: her not only have they done, but they are embossed
Speaker 1: for the first time ever. It's for a Lava Springs
Speaker 1: Midsummer Night's Talent show. She's won it every single year
Speaker 1: and she plans on winning again. Fulton says he's accomplished
Speaker 1: her staffing ideas, but with discretion, She's up to something
Speaker 1: and frankly, I don't like it already, Sabrina, I gotta
Speaker 1: ask this. Were you a country club kid?
Speaker 2: I why the pause? Well, when I was very little,
Speaker 2: we did live in connection to a golf course. Okay,
Speaker 2: so my sister, being eight years older than I am,
Speaker 2: she lived the country kid golf course, like to the
Speaker 2: point where, you know, she'd take all of our neighborhood
Speaker 2: friends over to the snackshack, get everyone ice cream, until
Speaker 2: my dad realized she was putting everyone's snacks and stuff
Speaker 2: on their tab. Right, gets this like six hundred dollars. Oh,
Speaker 2: She's like, you know, so my sister had that life.
Speaker 2: But I was really little. I was like two when
Speaker 2: that happened. And then and then we moved away not
Speaker 2: not long after that, so yes, but not really Like
Speaker 2: I was a baby during that time, my parents were
Speaker 2: big into the tennis, you know, club and all that stuff.
Speaker 2: And so, Okay, I would love to be a part
Speaker 2: of a country.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind being part of a country. It looks
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. It's probably pretty spendy, but it looks pretty great.
Speaker 1: Now we see that Sharpay and her cronies make their
Speaker 1: way to the absolutely gorgeous pool, which is crowded, but
Speaker 1: she gets obvious preferential treatment. She tells her girls that
Speaker 1: it was a trying year. Her drama department was invaded
Speaker 1: by outsiders. She's surrounded by luxuries, but she is focused
Speaker 1: on redemption. We go into our second song, this time
Speaker 1: from Sharpey and Ryan, an homage to the posh life
Speaker 1: she'll live at the country club and her collection of
Speaker 1: designer clothes. It is called Fabulous, and it's a Fergie
Speaker 1: like pop song. The lyric samples are something like there
Speaker 1: are towels imported from Turkey and turkey imported from Maine.
Speaker 1: Did you like this song? So?
Speaker 2: This is one of the standout musical songs that I
Speaker 2: remember from seeing it the first time. This was what
Speaker 2: I thought. I loved the app It's not my favorite song,
Speaker 2: to say, but it did set the precedence of what
Speaker 2: Sharpey is going to be throughout this entire movie. It's
Speaker 2: set that standard of she is bigger, Absolutely, she is
Speaker 2: more magnetic. Her character is completely thought out from start
Speaker 2: to finish. You see what looks like a little Paris
Speaker 2: Hilton and living that Paris Hilton life. I did like
Speaker 2: the idea of what it was. The song itself's not
Speaker 2: my favorite, but I loved the visuals that that it
Speaker 2: had within this movie or within this song. That was
Speaker 2: what I loved. The piano in the pool. I love
Speaker 2: the old school vibe of yeah, you know, her bathing
Speaker 2: suit and the headdresses, and I really did love what
Speaker 2: they did with it. Didn't love the song so much.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something probably a little controversial. I don't
Speaker 1: really remember any of the songs from the movie, like
Speaker 1: maybe one of them. Whereas I finished high school musical
Speaker 1: one and I couldn't get several of the songs out
Speaker 1: of my head.
Speaker 2: Of your head, yes, and I did not have that
Speaker 2: with this movie. I didn't love all of them, but
Speaker 2: I did. I do think there's definitely standout one. No,
Speaker 2: there there are.
Speaker 1: There were were certainly some that were far more catchy
Speaker 1: than other ones, but there were if you ask me
Speaker 1: right now, to hum one of the songs, I couldn't.
Speaker 1: I know that sounds strange. I couldn't. I could still
Speaker 1: do We're all in this together, you know, stuff like
Speaker 1: that in the game, get your head in the game. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: those are still I could right now.
Speaker 2: But oh, you're right, there's got to be so many
Speaker 2: people that disagree with.
Speaker 1: You on Oh I'm sure. Oh, I'm sure most people
Speaker 1: do where they're like, this music was better than the music.
Speaker 1: I disagree. I thought the music was better in the
Speaker 1: first one.
Speaker 2: I think it's hard. I think each movie, for me,
Speaker 2: each movie has the standout songs that I like and
Speaker 2: the standout songs I could live without. Sure, you know,
Speaker 2: but again, this one isn't a song that I remember
Speaker 2: exactly the rhythm and the catchiness of it. But I
Speaker 2: loved the visuals.
Speaker 1: Yeah me too.
Speaker 2: It was really, of course, well choreographed, creative, well choreographed routine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is exactly what Sabrina is talking about.
Speaker 1: It's a cool setup, Ryan playing a pink piano and
Speaker 1: Sharpey sitting on it in the middle of the pool,
Speaker 1: surrounded by other students splashing with synchronized swimming, and just
Speaker 1: then the country club's newest hire enters. It is Troy
Speaker 1: and his friends.
Speaker 2: We don't know when he actually decided to tell them
Speaker 2: that they have a.
Speaker 1: Job, but he did. Shar is thrilled to see him,
Speaker 1: that is until she also sees the newest lifeguard. It's
Speaker 1: Gabriella uh oh, and she does what anyone would do
Speaker 1: in this situation. She yells not and falls into the pool.
Speaker 1: Sharpay screams over and over as if she's drowning until
Speaker 1: Gabriella jumps into savor. This is not working out the
Speaker 1: way the Sharpei planned. But also, can we take a
Speaker 1: minute to talk about how blue zac Efron's eyes.
Speaker 2: Are so glad we're talking about it because I could
Speaker 2: not believe. There were so many moments where I was like,
Speaker 2: I don't remember his eyes in the first movie being
Speaker 2: that magnetic, fake piercing. Yes, he looks like he has
Speaker 2: enhancer contacts on. They're just so blue, so blue right
Speaker 2: and never missed a beat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy right, it's.
Speaker 2: Shining bright and twinklean towards the camera. He is this
Speaker 2: movie for me with Zach. I think the first movie
Speaker 2: he's very cute. This movie sets him up as a
Speaker 2: leading man. I get it. That's how I sure that
Speaker 2: the evolution of him in this movie, he looks like
Speaker 2: a leading man.
Speaker 1: I get that one hundred percent. And there're just so
Speaker 1: few people that have eyes as magnetic as ours.
Speaker 2: Yes, you and me and.
Speaker 1: Zachly right, same thing. My red watery eyes are just
Speaker 1: right up there with his. A drenched Sharpey is furious
Speaker 1: at Fulton. She told him to hire Troy, not the
Speaker 1: entire student body, he explained. She told him to do
Speaker 1: quote unquote whatever it takes, and this is what it took.
Speaker 1: He didn't tell her about the caveat, but he did
Speaker 1: tell her mom. That makes Sharpey even matter. She sprints
Speaker 1: to the yoga class to take it up with her mom.
Speaker 1: Sharpey knows this will mess with her talent show, but
Speaker 1: her mom doesn't see the problem. Frustrated, Sharpey runs off
Speaker 1: again and this time tells Fulton to make the Wildcats
Speaker 1: want to quit so she can fix the problem. The
Speaker 1: gang is now getting situated in their jobs, as we
Speaker 1: learned that Sharpay's parents own the entire country club. Fulton
Speaker 1: is already starting to bother the Wildcat's hires, pressuring them
Speaker 1: and threatening them that He'll always be watching. They can
Speaker 1: be fired at any moment. Three strikes and you're out.
Speaker 1: They know he's trying to ruin their summer, but they're
Speaker 1: wildcats and they can work together, see again together, shot,
Speaker 1: and still make the best of the summer for their lives.
Speaker 1: This enthusiasm leads up to our third song, Work This Out,
Speaker 1: using the kitchen as their backdrop with pots and pans
Speaker 1: as drums. Troy and Gabriella are staying positive, but everyone
Speaker 1: else isn't so sure. By the end of the song,
Speaker 1: everyone's optimistic they can turn it around. How is this
Speaker 1: song for you in the rank?
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get just thrashed for this. I hated it,
Speaker 2: but the choreography of the song, it just to me,
Speaker 2: especially when we go back to it being over ninety minutes.
Speaker 2: This one could have gone. I didn't need this whole
Speaker 2: the whole section of it I did. It didn't add
Speaker 2: a lot a lot to the movie for me. It
Speaker 2: could have just skipped right into the next scene, right.
Speaker 2: It's not like the choreography was bad. I mean, I
Speaker 2: just I just it wasn't necessary, you know, And that's
Speaker 2: what I especially knowing that I'm gonna do a podcast
Speaker 2: with you and you and trying to explain, you know,
Speaker 2: the different musical things. Yeah, it's not necessary, don't.
Speaker 1: Do it, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like make the and again going back, the amount of
Speaker 2: music that's in it. Make the ones that you actually
Speaker 2: see count. And I just didn't think that was really
Speaker 2: what happened with this actual song. Okay, I'm gonna get slash, guys,
Speaker 2: You're not come for me. I love high school musical.
Speaker 2: I love everything about it. This song just could have
Speaker 2: gone Okay, just this.
Speaker 1: One, not maybe not just the second they started banging
Speaker 1: on the pot, I'm like, oh man.
Speaker 2: As soon as they started banging on the pots, I
Speaker 2: was like, oh got here. Sabrina loves the.
Speaker 1: Weird Now. Later in the day, Gabriella is clocking out
Speaker 1: from her lifeguard shift and Troy starts flirting with her.
Speaker 1: Of course, he takes her to the golf course, even
Speaker 1: though she knows it's off limits for employees. Also middle
Speaker 1: of the day, nobody using the course, middle of the day,
Speaker 1: middle of the thinking about it's like, maybe do this
Speaker 1: at night when you can't play golf. But I would
Speaker 1: just want to just I know that sounds awful, but
Speaker 1: it's a comedy side of me. I just wanted somebody
Speaker 1: to get hit in the head with the.
Speaker 2: Golf halfway through the thing.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, they have.
Speaker 2: A little picnic, the idea if someone just if the
Speaker 2: golf ball landed by them, just to make it a
Speaker 2: little bit more realistic's a middle of the day.
Speaker 1: You're sitting on a golf course at a golf club
Speaker 1: in the middle of the day.
Speaker 2: But we're also at a country club where there are
Speaker 2: very little adults.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, or anywhere. It's a kid's country club. It's
Speaker 1: the wild West. They do have a little picnic and
Speaker 1: they talk about the summer and how working at the
Speaker 1: country club together means a lot. They throw grapes in
Speaker 1: each other's mouths and it is Tot's doorbs. But looking
Speaker 1: on from afar is Sharp Hay and her brother, who
Speaker 1: turned the sprinklers on, ruining the romantic moment right before
Speaker 1: they kiss.
Speaker 2: But plan backfire. Sorry Sharps.
Speaker 1: When that two run through the water, making the best
Speaker 1: of the situation, Fulton busts the soaking lovebirds, giving them
Speaker 1: a last warning. The next day, Troy and Gabriella arrive
Speaker 1: at work together and make their way to the piano
Speaker 1: where Kells is practicing. Kells is so excited for the
Speaker 1: Talent Show. She has ideas for everyone. She even wants
Speaker 1: Troy and Gabriella to sing something, but Troy puts a
Speaker 1: stop to that quickly. His singing career began and ended
Speaker 1: at the East High Winter Musical. He's not at the
Speaker 1: country club to perform. He is a straight jock dude
Speaker 1: and wants everyone to know it. But Kelsey already has
Speaker 1: a song written for them. She starts it off with
Speaker 1: some yeah yeah yeahs, and it's called you Are the
Speaker 1: Music in Me. Eventually Troy and Gabriella take over to
Speaker 1: sing it. They don't ever actually look at any of
Speaker 1: the words, and all of a sudden they just know
Speaker 1: it and all the harmonies and everything together musicals, This
Speaker 1: would obviously be the Talent Show hit. Mid song, they're
Speaker 1: even joined by all their friends, who also know nothing
Speaker 1: about the song, but take a break from their job
Speaker 1: to surround them at the piano and sing along, what
Speaker 1: do you think of You Are the Music in Me?
Speaker 2: I liked this song. I like the song. This is
Speaker 2: one that I remember. I could the melodies in my
Speaker 2: head right now.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know melody, but it was cute.
Speaker 1: I did like this song and they're singing to each
Speaker 1: other and they're singing over the piano. I get it.
Speaker 1: This is what most of the fans, I think, came
Speaker 1: to come and see. You're listening about Zach and Vanessa
Speaker 1: and everything they're going on, and they're, oh, they're a
Speaker 1: real couple, and now they're singing to each other.
Speaker 2: Disney at its best. I totally totally get it. Yep
Speaker 2: ate it up just along with every fan out there.
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolute, me too. I thought it was great. It
Speaker 1: goes without saying everyone loves the track, and it even
Speaker 1: gets Troy to sign up for the Talent Show if
Speaker 1: all his friends join him again. This guy can't do
Speaker 1: anything by himself, nor do his friends apparently want him
Speaker 1: to do anything without him.
Speaker 2: I need to pause for a second because, if I
Speaker 2: remember correctly, wasn't this the big lesson learned at the end.
Speaker 1: Of the last I thought so.
Speaker 2: The way he did it, he only learned that lesson
Speaker 2: for a short period of time, and it started and
Speaker 2: ended with this one musical. I thought we were okay
Speaker 2: with the singing and being a jock and singing together,
Speaker 2: so I was a little confused on the lesson.
Speaker 1: Now I don't get the lesson either. I also thought
Speaker 1: he and Sharpey were friends at the end of the
Speaker 1: last one, So yeah, it's it was a little yes,
Speaker 1: I agree with two hundred percent, we'll put it that
Speaker 1: way again. I don't know why he needs his friends
Speaker 1: to join him do everything, and why his friends need
Speaker 1: to be there for everything that he does. That was
Speaker 1: a problem I had with this movie overall was how
Speaker 1: his best friend, Corbin's character doesn't look in at one
Speaker 1: point and be like, dude, you should go get a scholarship.
Speaker 2: You should go do this stuff. You don't have to
Speaker 2: be a dick about it, but.
Speaker 1: We want you to succeed on your own. But they're like,
Speaker 1: you're the captain. You've got to take us with you
Speaker 1: everywhere you go, Like, come.
Speaker 2: On, dude, I'm trying to get into college here serious.
Speaker 2: So that very it really disappointed me because I know
Speaker 2: you are not that selfish.
Speaker 1: That needed to being right. Your friends should be supporting
Speaker 1: you through all this stuff, but they all agree to
Speaker 1: be in the show and just like that, they're going
Speaker 1: to compete. Unfortunately, Ryan overhears this decision and tells Sharpey,
Speaker 1: But Sharpey has a plan and will need the help
Speaker 1: of her country club owning dad to pull it off.
Speaker 1: Back in the kitchen, all the wildcats are having fun
Speaker 1: with Troy and Chad pretending to be British, apparently for
Speaker 1: no reason.
Speaker 2: But that's all right.
Speaker 1: I'm often pretend to be British. Gavna mid British dance.
Speaker 1: They are informed by Fulton that they've been promoted to
Speaker 1: golf caddies for the day. They're excited about the job
Speaker 1: switch and quickly learn they're caddying for Sharpey and her family,
Speaker 1: including her father, who choppers in Hell's. Yeah, big stunt
Speaker 1: for a d com. Now we've talked about this. You golf,
Speaker 1: don't you?
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 1: That's awesome.
Speaker 2: We got to golf.
Speaker 1: We'll we'll do a foursome with Sue and I.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's fun. I you know what I love about
Speaker 2: golfing is like everyone kind of sucks, so it's like
Speaker 2: unless you don't even though you're it's such a frustrating game.
Speaker 2: Everyone is very supportive on the golf course. That's what
Speaker 2: I really do love. It's all about just you know,
Speaker 2: no one's they always anyone you get paired up with,
Speaker 2: which I always get so nervous when we get paired
Speaker 2: up with strangers. Yeah, of course, I'm like always nervous,
Speaker 2: but everyone's always really supportive. And I love golfing. It's
Speaker 2: something that I really enjoyed having something Jordan and I
Speaker 2: can do together.
Speaker 1: That's what Sue and I are going to pick up.
Speaker 1: I golf three years and haven't now for years, and
Speaker 1: she's wanted to, so we're going to start again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's fun and it is I do agree with the
Speaker 1: old statement though, that golf is a beautiful walk spoiled,
Speaker 1: and I think that's absolutely true. So Sharpay and her
Speaker 1: mom are terrible at golf. Well we think Sharpay is
Speaker 1: terrible at golf, but she's faking it. But Troy helps
Speaker 1: a dad with his club selection. Troy sees Gabriella from
Speaker 1: the course and invites her to dinner, but before he
Speaker 1: can confirm it, Sharpei tells him to get back to caddying. Eventually,
Speaker 1: Sharpey convinces her family to let Troy drive a ball,
Speaker 1: and after a beautiful swing, and it was a beautiful swing,
Speaker 1: he obviously does play golf. You can tell that is
Speaker 1: a golf.
Speaker 2: Swin method actor probably got some very expensive price or
Speaker 2: he played or he plays. Yeah, I mean he seems
Speaker 2: to be very athletic.
Speaker 1: Yeah he does, and he can swing a golf club.
Speaker 1: Her dad thinks he can help him get into college
Speaker 1: for sports. And just like that, he's becoming part of
Speaker 1: Sharpay's rich family and circle of influence. I'd like to
Speaker 1: go back to the beautiful kitchen that we were talking
Speaker 1: about before, because apparently he needs a scholarship because he
Speaker 1: says his parents are pinching pennies, and then we cut
Speaker 1: to his bedroom later in the day. He lives in
Speaker 1: what I can only.
Speaker 2: Describe is a mansion or a huge, beautiful home. And
Speaker 2: I don't remember. I know there had to have been
Speaker 2: a scene. I feel like I kind of need to
Speaker 2: go back and watch the first one again of his bedroom,
Speaker 2: and I don't remember it being that lavish and in
Speaker 2: that elaborate of the kind of because I mean, his
Speaker 2: bedroom was rocket it was a cool bed.
Speaker 1: So you go from that kitchen to the bedroom. This
Speaker 1: couple is not pinching pennies. This is a very well
Speaker 1: off couple that they're either supposed to be well off
Speaker 1: and they didn't write to it, or they're posts did
Speaker 1: not be well off, and they put them in the
Speaker 1: wrong house because it's stunning, and I'm like, what are
Speaker 1: you pinching pennies for?
Speaker 2: It's your kitchen was twelve hundred square feet, Like what's
Speaker 2: going on?
Speaker 1: So that I didn't understand that in any way shape or.
Speaker 2: For him, but anyway I caught onto that as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah we are now after hole eighteen. They're back in
Speaker 1: the kitchen and Chad is icing his feet from walking
Speaker 1: the course. Even with their tough day, Fulton forces them
Speaker 1: into dinner duty for the night, but instead of waiting tables,
Speaker 1: Sharpay's dad invites Troy to sit with his family and
Speaker 1: an administrator at the University of Albuquerque Albuquerque albu q
Speaker 1: u e r que boom, thank you very much. Troy
Speaker 1: is blending in as a rich person, and Chad, who
Speaker 1: is waiting tables, is grossed out watching all this unfold.
Speaker 1: He's watching his friend turning to somebody else. The U
Speaker 1: of A guy hints to a scholarship for Troy because
Speaker 1: he's struggling in that nine thousand square foot house, and
Speaker 1: Sharpei drops the bomb that he can also sing embarrassed,
Speaker 1: Troy excuses himself, but Sharpay makes him promise he'll sing
Speaker 1: with her soon, which he does. Now here's a hot take.
Speaker 1: At this point, Troy and Sharpei could be a cute
Speaker 1: couple with something therapy. Agree or disagree, disagree? I disagree.
Speaker 2: Nobody wants that I disagree to.
Speaker 1: But Sharpay's gonna make somebody very happy until she doesn't.
Speaker 1: After dinner, a Troy retreats to the now empty kitchen,
Speaker 1: where he screams in agony.
Speaker 2: He notices he's late.
Speaker 1: And darts to the pool to meet Gabriella. Do you
Speaker 1: notice anything in this scene? This is the one I
Speaker 1: rewound three times.
Speaker 2: The pool scene before he and thees he's late. No,
Speaker 2: he goes like this, I'm late.
Speaker 1: He's not wearing a watch.
Speaker 2: No, he doesn't have to that my god, no watch,
Speaker 2: my god.
Speaker 1: Literally staring at an empty wrist, He's like, I'm late.
Speaker 2: Oh how did no one watch? He's not wearing around it?
Speaker 2: Three times he's not wearing a watch. I'm like, how
Speaker 2: do you know you're late?
Speaker 1: Dude? How does somebody not just strap a watch on
Speaker 1: your wrist?
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: He he is not wearing a watch. So that just happened.
Speaker 1: It is what it is. He notices he's late, Like
Speaker 1: I said, I don't know how he notices he's late,
Speaker 1: but he does, and he darts to the pool to
Speaker 1: meet Gabriella. He says he's gonna change his clothes and
Speaker 1: come right back. While he's gone. Taylor arrives and Player hates.
Speaker 1: She criticizes Troy for being an hour late. Back in
Speaker 1: the kitchen while clocking out, Fulton intercepts Troy and tells
Speaker 1: him he's not off yet. He forces Troy to follow
Speaker 1: him into what looks like a dark corner of the grounds,
Speaker 1: which is kind of creepy but is actually a personal
Speaker 1: luau from Ryan and Sharpey. It gets us into another song,
Speaker 1: this one called Humahuma Nuka Nuka a puaa. It's an
Speaker 1: island story about a queen and her fish king, named
Speaker 1: after the official fish of Hawaii. Ashley Tisdale is the
Speaker 1: real MVP of this movie.
Speaker 2: This was hysterically funny, this song funny.
Speaker 1: This was great.
Speaker 2: She is I mean, this is when you just see
Speaker 2: the spotlight on her and how much she dives into
Speaker 2: this character. There is no way we're committed to making
Speaker 2: this character jump off the screen. It is unreal.
Speaker 1: She is so good, Lady Ashley, Lady Ashley, because she
Speaker 1: is incredible again, so committed, mostly during a part where
Speaker 1: she pretends to be a whaling fish. Ryan also appears
Speaker 1: to be a little jealous of Droy as he takes
Speaker 1: over his part in the show.
Speaker 2: Ryan is amazing. I think our name is Luke. He's amazing.
Speaker 2: The three girls that are her just backup staple, backup girls.
Speaker 2: They are hilarious in this two. I mean this. This
Speaker 2: was such a good number. That was my favorite number
Speaker 2: of my favorite number. It was a comedy number. It
Speaker 2: gave me all of the Lucille Ball vibes. I loved it.
Speaker 2: I was here for it.
Speaker 1: I loved this nothing it Also it was like Teen
Speaker 1: Beach movie, so they had vibes of that where it's
Speaker 1: like you're almost making loking fun a little bit of
Speaker 1: the musical aspect of the movie, which I'm all here for.
Speaker 1: It was great the way she did it.
Speaker 2: Oh, there was a lot of tea of Team Beach
Speaker 2: had the vibes. Yeah yeah throughout. Yeah, the vibe really
Speaker 2: was strong throughout it.
Speaker 1: Was but that was very, very funny. This is my
Speaker 1: favorite yeah, favorite.
Speaker 2: One of the show.
Speaker 1: Anyway. Troy isn't impressed at all with what he saw,
Speaker 1: and she's cutting back to him within the zach with
Speaker 1: his mouth open, like what the hell am I watching?
Speaker 1: Which is great. He thinks it's too produced. He wonders
Speaker 1: if she ever thought about just doing a stripped down song,
Speaker 1: showcasing her voice, just her and a mic. She loves
Speaker 1: the idea. She imagines a song for her and Troy,
Speaker 1: stripped down, no frills. He doesn't want to do it.
Speaker 1: He's with Gabriella and he's not even a singer. He
Speaker 1: compliments her shoes and runs away while she's distracted, showing gratitude.
Speaker 1: Great scene. Troy rushes back to Gabriella at the pool
Speaker 1: and performs a big cannonball to say hello. She's nervous
Speaker 1: they shouldn't be swimming, but he pretends to drown and
Speaker 1: she just joins him, which is a pretty common move.
Speaker 1: I guess this is to just fake drowning that happens
Speaker 1: in a lot of movies. They swim and flirt, and
Speaker 1: even though he was late and Taylor's trying to salt
Speaker 1: his game, she's still in love with him and what
Speaker 1: they have is great, but just as they go to
Speaker 1: kiss once again, this guy can't get any action. They
Speaker 1: are interrupted by Fulton. He gives them a second strike,
Speaker 1: warning them of the third, and kicks him out of
Speaker 1: the pool. Didn't he give him a last.
Speaker 2: Warning the first time? Anyway, I'm gonna leyes he did.
Speaker 2: I know, but we're gonna let it go.
Speaker 1: It's also this guy.
Speaker 2: Starready on strike three. I was like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: Roly like she's getting into the movie and she's done.
Speaker 2: She's fired.
Speaker 1: He also keeps getting in her trouble. Yeah, he also
Speaker 1: keeps getting under in trouble. This is all Troy's fault.
Speaker 1: He keeps saying like this was on me, and it's like, well,
Speaker 1: it was on you, but they don't seem to care. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we are back at the Bolton Mansion. That's all I
Speaker 1: have to say about that. Troy is helping his dad
Speaker 1: work on a truck with a basketball under the hood.
Speaker 1: There's the basketball and if you on the shelf behind
Speaker 1: him once again to remind you it's all about basketball.
Speaker 1: He tells his dad about the University of Albuquerque albuq
Speaker 1: u r Que possibility, and his dad seems really, really
Speaker 1: into it. The next day, Gabriella is teaching a water
Speaker 1: aerobics class when Troy arrives and tells her how much
Speaker 1: fun he had last night. Just then, Sharpey yells his
Speaker 1: name from afar. She's holding a sign that reads see
Speaker 1: Fulton Now. Troy sets a break date at one thirty
Speaker 1: and leaves just in time for Taylor to run up
Speaker 1: again and be a total and once again, she was
Speaker 1: about his typical tailor.
Speaker 2: My gosh, I know that it just was a little
Speaker 2: too much. I was like, Monique, calm down, you're killing us.
Speaker 1: Monique, you're killing us.
Speaker 2: In us way, just blocking too hard. I know, Blacks. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: what kind of blocking? I just said blocking?
Speaker 1: What kind of blocking spree? I'm just curious. Someday, Ah, someday,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you. Meanwhile, Fulton surprises Troy with a promotion,
Speaker 1: another one in another week. This guy's going to co
Speaker 1: own the resort. He's going to teach golf to kids
Speaker 1: and get five hundred dollars plus tips. This is a
Speaker 1: massive raise. He's even going to get a golf cart,
Speaker 1: new expensive clothes, and a free club membership. Damn, I'll
Speaker 1: take this. The Evans family thinks he has untapped potential, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, he does, and Fulton suggests he takes
Speaker 1: the free ride as far as it can go, which
Speaker 1: by the way, he should.
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: They're seventeen and he's got an opportunity for his future.
Speaker 1: You take it. On the course, Troy is a natural
Speaker 1: with the kids in a very funny way. Sharpay joins
Speaker 1: to hit at the driving range with their pink golf balls.
Speaker 1: I love everything's pink or locker everything, and continues to
Speaker 1: try to get Troy into the talent show. She says,
Speaker 1: you have a boosters will be there ready to give
Speaker 1: out scholarships again, something he should take advantage of. He's
Speaker 1: still hesitant, but she reminds him he promised this time.
Speaker 1: She compliments his shoes and guess who sees them talking.
Speaker 1: That's right, it's little misno at all, the girl that
Speaker 1: Sabrina here just called a massive cock block tailor. She
Speaker 1: runs the snitch to Gabriella, saying he has more moves
Speaker 1: than an octopus in a wrestling match. That means Gabriella
Speaker 1: isn't worried yet, so even though her friend is trying
Speaker 1: to sabotage their relationship, Gabriella is still okay with it.
Speaker 2: Yes, and she is adorable and confident. I love Gabriella
Speaker 2: for being like, girl, relax, we're good. That's serious. We're good.
Speaker 2: He's doing a job. She seems to be the only
Speaker 2: one that continues to cheerlead him like she should as
Speaker 2: all her girlfriend. We're all doing our job. He's fine,
Speaker 2: We're good. Everyone relaxed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a time she realizes that they're all in
Speaker 1: this together, Sabrina, that's what she realizes. Troy is called
Speaker 1: to the hotel lobby, where he meets some of the
Speaker 1: Albuquerque Won't spell it again basketball stars, who invite him
Speaker 1: to lunch and eventually to scrimmage with them. Sharpay joins
Speaker 1: the lunch too, and she's treating it all like they're
Speaker 1: a couple. At the lunch, Troy teaches the basketball players
Speaker 1: how to golf, and now surrounded by basketball stars, he
Speaker 1: plays off Chad, telling him he ordered Swiss on his burger,
Speaker 1: sending him back to the kitchen. And this is where
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, now he is starting to change.
Speaker 1: Now we're starting to change. By the way, never ever
Speaker 1: gets Swiss cheese on your burger. Troy has ditched the
Speaker 1: pores and Chad is now furious. He complains to Gabriella
Speaker 1: and Taylor, and you can tell Gabriella is starting to
Speaker 1: feel the change as well. Sharpa and Ryan race to
Speaker 1: Kelsey and demand she have the duet that she offered
Speaker 1: to Troy and Gabriella. Since Kelsey works at the country club,
Speaker 1: it's Sharpei because she's gonna sing it with Troy. Ryan
Speaker 1: is not thrilled because he was supposed to do the
Speaker 1: Tiki song with her, but Sharpei doesn't care. She needs
Speaker 1: a brother to just watch the Wildcats and make sure
Speaker 1: they don't steal back Troy for the talent show. Outside,
Speaker 1: Troy is now an Albuquerque basketball warm up jacket and
Speaker 1: he's shooting some hoops. When Gabriella walks out, she seems
Speaker 1: a little more upbeat than you imagine. He says he'll
Speaker 1: be back in an hour to take her to the movies,
Speaker 1: but she has concerns. Promise is a big word and
Speaker 1: he hasn't been keeping his at all lately. He even
Speaker 1: forgot an employee baseball game. Later, she says he seems
Speaker 1: like a new Troy and not one that she knows. Ooh,
Speaker 1: it's all starting unravel. Right then, his high school friends
Speaker 1: walk by to play, but he straight up ditches them.
Speaker 1: When his new college friends pull up, the transformation is
Speaker 1: complete again. He doesn't have to be a jerk about it,
Speaker 1: but he's going for the possibility of a scholarship to
Speaker 1: college and a job that.
Speaker 2: Could change his life. Right, maybe this is.
Speaker 1: When your friends need to be like, dude, you shouldn't
Speaker 1: have forgotten.
Speaker 2: Not cool, but we get it, right, Like, we get it.
Speaker 2: This is what this is. Where I was like, it's
Speaker 2: not like it was a game that matters of any sort.
Speaker 2: It's like a country creation softball game. Give me a break,
Speaker 2: it's not so serious. Yeah, I do think remind him
Speaker 2: you don't need to be a jerk about it. Yes,
Speaker 2: At the same time, have fun tell us about it, like, yeah,
Speaker 2: let us know how it goes, you know, And.
Speaker 1: I love the rest of his team. At one point
Speaker 1: was like, didn't weren't you going to invite us to
Speaker 1: the scrimmage? They're not going to bring all the Wildcat's
Speaker 1: high school team to the University of Albuquerque.
Speaker 2: That's that's not how It's not how it works. That's
Speaker 2: not how they recrue. It's one kid at a time.
Speaker 2: They pick kids from all different high schools.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you never.
Speaker 2: There's never been a transferring of a high school student
Speaker 2: to one specific school. Now, give me a break. This
Speaker 2: is insane. You guys sound like.
Speaker 1: Yes, you can be loyal to your friends, Yes, and
Speaker 1: still have your friends go after your dreams exactly say dude,
Speaker 1: you gotta go do what you gotta do.
Speaker 2: So yeah that I thought that was not a good
Speaker 2: message anyway.
Speaker 1: Gabriella and Taylor run into a dejected Ryan and convince
Speaker 1: him to join them for the staff baseball game, which
Speaker 1: is a very nice gesture. It seems like he might
Speaker 1: be switching sides, and when they arrive at the game,
Speaker 1: everyone realizes Troy ditch the Wildcats and Sharpey ditched Ryan.
Speaker 1: So they wonder can they team up to create their
Speaker 1: own act for.
Speaker 2: The talent show?
Speaker 1: What Gabriella tries to convince Ryan to direct them, but
Speaker 1: Chat isn't sold. He doesn't dance, and he doesn't trust Ryan.
Speaker 1: So to prove himself, Ryan joins the baseball game and
Speaker 1: is a surprisingly good pitcher, which sparks a song called
Speaker 1: I Don't Dance And this is where I lost it a.
Speaker 2: Little bit, did you? It's a song. It's a song.
Speaker 1: About not knowing how to dance and not wanting to dance.
Speaker 2: He doesn't say I don't know how to dance.
Speaker 1: No, but don't dance while dancing the whole time. Sure,
Speaker 1: while dancing the whole time.
Speaker 2: Phenomenal dancer. I mean, he just doesn't he just doesn't
Speaker 2: like to show his skills off. But he's a.
Speaker 1: He's dancing in front of a hundred people at a
Speaker 1: baseball game. Everybody's dancing. It's a choreographed dance to a
Speaker 1: song so called. I don't dance.
Speaker 2: I don't care. Will I don't care. I'm not saying
Speaker 2: I didn't like it. I didn't know for the dancing.
Speaker 1: The dancing is phenomenal. It's great dancing. But it stuck
Speaker 1: with me to the point where as I was explaining
Speaker 1: it to Susan walking the dog, I stopped to say,
Speaker 1: I'm not dancing right now like you're. You're singing about
Speaker 1: not dancing while you're dancing.
Speaker 2: I don't care. I am in corbon blue starts dancing
Speaker 2: sold he they're phenomenal, phenomena, They're great. I don't care what, but.
Speaker 1: Man, it's it's somebody singing a song. Saying I don't
Speaker 1: punch you in the face while punching you in the face.
Speaker 1: I don't rock exactly. So the great choreography, but it's
Speaker 1: the same thing. I had, the same problem I had
Speaker 1: with the first one, where he's singing about not wanting
Speaker 1: to sing now they're dancing, wanting to.
Speaker 2: Say, I know, I get it. I didn't understand that
Speaker 2: being such a huge aspect of Chad's character than not dancing, right,
Speaker 2: you know, because the first one right again, it doesn't
Speaker 2: really It's one of those things where it kind of
Speaker 2: wasn't necessary. We could have just switched the lyrics up this,
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. We've also watched him dance the
Speaker 2: whole movie so far, because he's a phenomenal. But that's
Speaker 2: that's my point. He's amazing.
Speaker 1: He's amazing, So then why make the song called I
Speaker 1: don't dance when we've watched him dance.
Speaker 2: For an hour. I feel like a big part of
Speaker 2: it where I did Understan and the character wise, they
Speaker 2: were trying to separate Chad and Run being so different
Speaker 2: and then mold and then finding a respect for that.
Speaker 1: Thousand ways to do that without making this song called
Speaker 1: I don't dance while.
Speaker 2: Right, fine, I still don't.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying again.
Speaker 2: It's super entertaining, favorite, wonderful. This was one of my favorite.
Speaker 2: This was to me epitome Keddy Ortega out on the
Speaker 2: field when they hit that pyramid, they're doing their line changes.
Speaker 2: They've got the bats like, oh my god. I was
Speaker 2: so like popping and jam into this one. I loved it.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 2: I clearly did not care about the lyrics, but at
Speaker 2: the same I see where you're coming from. But at
Speaker 2: the same time, I just loved it too much to care.
Speaker 2: I liked it too. I just did not like the
Speaker 2: lyrics it made. I knew you were going to destroy
Speaker 2: that one. I was like, oh God, here.
Speaker 1: We go, so here we go. But anyway, it's a
Speaker 1: song literally about how Chad doesn't dance, but if Ryan
Speaker 1: can pitch well, then anything is possible. While Chad is
Speaker 1: singing and rapping that he doesn't dance, he's in fact dancing.
Speaker 1: This is all taking place during a baseball game, and
Speaker 1: the song might just be the most ridiculous one we've
Speaker 1: seen so far. I know you love it, but it
Speaker 1: is true. Chad and the Wildcats win the game by
Speaker 1: one run. But more importantly, Ryan has earned their respect,
Speaker 1: which I really liked. It looks like they're going to
Speaker 1: combine forces for the Talent Show after all. We are
Speaker 1: now over at the University of Albuquerque. Troy is scrimmaging
Speaker 1: with the team and looking pretty good. The coach and
Speaker 1: the boosters are impressed. During a break, he tries to
Speaker 1: call Gabriella, but she's too busy having fun with the
Speaker 1: Wildcats and their new best friend Ryan. It's even a
Speaker 1: little flirty between them, which Troy notices when he returns
Speaker 1: to the club and bumps into them. It's an awkward
Speaker 1: few moments with Ryan talk about her mom's brownies, which
Speaker 1: feels like euphemism. Troy is losing his girlfriend and he
Speaker 1: might be losing her to that dork Ryan.
Speaker 2: He's rattled, and he just walks away. That's the thing.
Speaker 1: So Gabriella has now seen him with Sharpey one hundred
Speaker 1: and ten times and is totally fine with it, still
Speaker 1: talks to him, loves him. He comes back, sees her
Speaker 1: with Ryan one time and walks away without saying anything
Speaker 1: to her.
Speaker 2: It was like, come on, I know, And I feel
Speaker 2: like that was so true to form of what it's
Speaker 2: like with girls and guys at this age, probably true,
Speaker 2: taking it and taking it and giving them the benefit
Speaker 2: of the doubt. Getting this girl steps out of wine
Speaker 2: for one hunt. She I know, I thought she did.
Speaker 2: If I were her friend, I'd have been like, girl,
Speaker 2: you might want to pull back a little bit. Really,
Speaker 2: Troy's gonna like that. She has given him eyes while
Speaker 2: she was in the bleachers. Yeah, she was a little
Speaker 2: She was a little little She's gonna get she's gonna
Speaker 2: give up her mom's brownies, but gives up the mom's brownies,
Speaker 2: just saying. I mean, she was a little more flirty
Speaker 2: than I would have assumed her to be. Okay, I
Speaker 2: don't think. At the same time, it was pretty hilarious.
Speaker 2: I thought the same thing. He sees one teeny tiny
Speaker 2: little moment, and she's like devastated.
Speaker 1: Storms off, turns those blue eyes away from her. That's
Speaker 1: just the way it is. Gabriella is just confused. We
Speaker 1: are now back in the kitchen and things aren't much
Speaker 1: better for Troy. His friends give him crap for ditching
Speaker 1: them for the college practice. He defends himself. He didn't
Speaker 1: go looking for the practice or to be a golf Caddy.
Speaker 1: They came to him. He's just going to work like
Speaker 1: everyone else. Fair, but his Wildcat teammates think he's just
Speaker 1: becoming a pompous jerk. He's no longer the captain that
Speaker 1: they knew. This turns into an argument with chest poking
Speaker 1: until it's broken up by Fulton sending them all back
Speaker 1: to work. And now it's time to rehearse for the
Speaker 1: talent show. Troy arrives and Sharpay make sure to show
Speaker 1: him that the scholarship committee will be sitting front and center,
Speaker 1: right next to his parents. Troy asked for Sharpay to
Speaker 1: take it slow, he's new to the whole performing thing,
Speaker 1: and Sharpey answers by ripping off her shirt, exposing a costume,
Speaker 1: and setting off pyrotechnics. It's really funny. We get a
Speaker 1: very upbeat pop version of you Are the Music in Me,
Speaker 1: the duet from earlier, but now it's a massive production
Speaker 1: with a live band, background singers, and strobe lights. We
Speaker 1: also get some falsetto from Zach, which was a pretty
Speaker 1: gutsy decision. In the end, Sharpey thinks they were meant
Speaker 1: to sing together, gushing over his skills. Clearly in love
Speaker 1: with him. He even envisions her where a wedding dress
Speaker 1: while talking. He's freaked out and quickly leaves. It was
Speaker 1: another fun moment beat every time.
Speaker 2: It was a little long, it was long, was a
Speaker 2: little long.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 2: But anytime she's on street it's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, we're not even close. This is part one
Speaker 1: of seven. The next day, Troy is, of course, shirtless,
Speaker 1: sweaty and shooting hoops. Of course, shirt of course he is. Again.
Speaker 1: I've said this on my other podcast, and I stick
Speaker 1: to it to this day. If I ever in my
Speaker 1: life have a body like that, I will burn and
Speaker 1: throw away every shirt I own. I don't care where
Speaker 1: I am in the world. I will be on a plane,
Speaker 1: a train, in a grocery store. I will not be
Speaker 1: wearing a shirt. But he's missing every shot as he's playing.
Speaker 1: His game is just certainly off. Meanwhile, the kids from
Speaker 1: East High are practicing their talent show performance inside, and
Speaker 1: Troy sees how much fun they're having when he passes by,
Speaker 1: especially Ryan and Gabriella Mom's brownies. Sharpey also sees them
Speaker 1: but doesn't notice Troy. She is furious at Ryan for
Speaker 1: making them so good, but he's proud of what he's done,
Speaker 1: and he's happy to join them. He leaves and we
Speaker 1: get another amazing Ashley Tisdale read when she yells to
Speaker 1: the drummer for a beat and then struts out time
Speaker 1: to the high hat. Awesome moment, and so literally. Sue
Speaker 1: walked in at that point, and I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna need background music everywhere I go from now on.
Speaker 1: I need to walk into that one because that's awesome.
Speaker 2: So good. Give you a beat, Give me a beat, drummer,
Speaker 2: give me a beat.
Speaker 1: She storms into Fulton's office, demanding that every employee work
Speaker 1: at the Talent Show, not performing it, but Fulton pushes
Speaker 1: back Sharpay doesn't care. She instructs him to do it.
Speaker 1: In his office, we see a poster for a pass
Speaker 1: play in the club called an Onion for Papa, which frankly,
Speaker 1: I would really like to see. There's also a very
Speaker 1: weird medieval hat. There is no basketball, however. The next day,
Speaker 1: Fulton has Taylor to distribute the new plan for the
Speaker 1: Talent Show night. He seems very distressed about it, but
Speaker 1: he has no choice. He needs his job. In the kitchen,
Speaker 1: the Wildcats are still riding high and dancing Kelsey's even
Speaker 1: pretending to DJ and dinner plates. It's all fun and
Speaker 1: games until Taylor arrives with the bad news no staff
Speaker 1: participation in the show, no exceptions boo. Gabrielle has seen enough.
Speaker 1: She confronts Sharpei. I was so happy with this little TI.
Speaker 1: She's like, I'm just gonna go talk to that. She
Speaker 1: confront Sharpey, who is laughing and drinking smoothies with her friends.
Speaker 1: Their conversation escalates quickly, arguing about Troy and Ryan and
Speaker 1: the Wildcats summer and guess who's just coincidentally walking by
Speaker 1: to hear Gabriella quit Troy. As shar leaves, Troy stops Gabriella.
Speaker 1: Gabriella says working with him sounded like a good plan,
Speaker 1: but things have changed. He can go win the talent
Speaker 1: show with Sharpei in his new Italian shoes. Oh, he says.
Speaker 1: He's the same guy who wants to teach her twisted
Speaker 1: flips on the skateboard, whatever that is, just with a
Speaker 1: scholarship now in his sits. She doesn't believe him, and
Speaker 1: this takes us to a new song, Gotta Go My
Speaker 1: Own Way, a ballad where she breaks up with him
Speaker 1: in song. I'd like to give you some samples of
Speaker 1: the lyrics. It's so hard to say, but I gotta
Speaker 1: do what's best for me. You'll be okay. I've got
Speaker 1: to move on and be who I am. I just
Speaker 1: don't belong here. I hope you understand. We might find
Speaker 1: a place in this world someday, but at least for now,
Speaker 1: I gotta go my own way. Don't make me stop,
Speaker 1: don't make me say Zowie's I'm gonna give somebody else
Speaker 1: my mama's brownies. I'm kidding. I added the last part
Speaker 1: of that that was totally me, but but the rest
Speaker 1: of it was real. It is a breakup song while
Speaker 1: walking away? What did you think of this song, Sabrina,
Speaker 1: I gotta know the whole thing of walking away, running
Speaker 1: after her singing while walking away? How did you feel
Speaker 1: about this?
Speaker 2: Okay, So again, I'm in a place and I don't
Speaker 2: know if you remember, but when she had her whole
Speaker 2: solo ballad in the first movie, I felt again as
Speaker 2: though Vanessa looked like she felt awkward doing it.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: So I don't know if you remember that. So now
Speaker 2: we're on the second movie. I do know that her
Speaker 2: ballad from the first movie was a hit. Sure, the
Speaker 2: girls loved it, so I knew she was gonna have
Speaker 2: another one for this second movie. She looked more comfortable
Speaker 2: doing it than she did the first one, but I
Speaker 2: still feel like she wasn't one hundred percent sold on
Speaker 2: these very theatrical, very theoretrical. I think this comes into
Speaker 2: play of what you were talking about earlier, where the
Speaker 2: cheese factor comes in a little bit more. And Vanessa,
Speaker 2: because I've seen her perform live when she was doing
Speaker 2: her solo stuff, is very comfortable on stage. She's an
Speaker 2: incredible performer and a great singer, and this doesn't seem like.
Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking, not necessarily what the song
Speaker 2: was or what it meant with in the storyline. It
Speaker 2: was more so going man, they just they didn't ever
Speaker 2: give her a ballad that she felt really good scene.
Speaker 2: That's what it seemed like.
Speaker 1: I don't disagree.
Speaker 2: That was my outlook on the Ice One's.
Speaker 1: She was one running away and the song was still going.
Speaker 1: I was like, is she still singing and she's running away?
Speaker 1: And then she turns and she's lipsying. I'm like, yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: she's still singing.
Speaker 2: She's running away right up until she closes the minivan door. Yep,
Speaker 2: she is, and tells her mom, we need to make
Speaker 2: more brownies.
Speaker 1: He needs to make more brownie for Ryan because brown
Speaker 1: Ryan understands. He gets, she gets oh my. Troy fights
Speaker 1: for her though also via a song. But a minivan,
Speaker 1: like we said, picks her up. Hopefully somebody she knows
Speaker 1: is driving. We think it's her mom. If not, she's
Speaker 1: just got into a strange minivan and there.
Speaker 2: Were no uber.
Speaker 1: We cut to Troy in his bed at home again
Speaker 1: in this amazing lavish bedroom, tossing the basketball in the
Speaker 1: air and you know what that means. Yep, here comes
Speaker 1: his dad walking in. Troy is depressed. His friends aren't
Speaker 1: returning his calls, and he won't even eat the steaks
Speaker 1: his dad barbecued. Troy has a heart heart with his
Speaker 1: dad and how he's been acting. Troy doesn't know who
Speaker 1: he is anymore, but his dad has a lot of
Speaker 1: faith in his son. He knows the same kid is
Speaker 1: in there, and he'll figure out the right thing to
Speaker 1: do the next workday. In the kitchen, his wildcat friends
Speaker 1: are still giving him the cold shoulder, and Kelsey clues
Speaker 1: him in about the staff not being able to perform,
Speaker 1: and infuriated, Troy rushes out of the building to sing
Speaker 1: and dance a song called bet on It and it's
Speaker 1: all about his dilemma and how he wants to make
Speaker 1: everything right. How did you feel about the song and
Speaker 1: zac Efron's dancing here?
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I don't remember this song being the
Speaker 2: song that it is.
Speaker 3: What I know?
Speaker 2: That mean, I don't remember sitting there watching this in
Speaker 2: the theater, going what is happening right now?
Speaker 1: It's super cringey. Again.
Speaker 2: They are setting him up to be this leading man,
Speaker 2: let's call him the new Age John Travolta, right, Like,
Speaker 2: this is what they're setting him up to do. So
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of, you know, the song that
Speaker 2: is in Greece that John did, and it's like, I'm like,
Speaker 2: it's I just again, I do feel like Zach committed
Speaker 2: to it. He really committed. I just don't feel like
Speaker 2: they gave him it just First of all, it's a
Speaker 2: very long song, yep, and it goes throughout that entire
Speaker 2: eighteen holes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, seriously again, where no one's playing golf. By the way,
Speaker 1: no one's played golf the entire time in this movie
Speaker 1: that that they're using and yeah.
Speaker 2: I just I don't. I don't. I feel like it
Speaker 2: was necessary. I was excited, but I feel like if
Speaker 2: it had just been shorter and a little bit more,
Speaker 2: just like Pocketed and not this big, long, giant song,
Speaker 2: it would have been fine. It just was because it
Speaker 2: was so long that they even stop him dancing. When
Speaker 2: he goes over to the water and I see the reflection,
Speaker 2: that's when digital I'm going in my head, it kept going.
Speaker 2: If I were interviewing Zach and I asked him, out
Speaker 2: of all of the things you've done in high school musical,
Speaker 2: what do you feel your least favorite. Yeah, I feel
Speaker 2: like he'd say that flash.
Speaker 1: I think so too. I think so too. It was
Speaker 1: just again, but I get it's.
Speaker 2: From fans, because I don't I've never heard of this
Speaker 2: song or anything. I need to know from fans. Did
Speaker 2: they like it? I'm I feel at the age I'm
Speaker 2: at years after this movie came out, but in the time,
Speaker 2: it was this gap, like damn, Zach Effron is the
Speaker 2: sexiest man alive. When he looked into that gorgeous reflection,
Speaker 2: it took me there, like, I mean, well, like what.
Speaker 1: I'll bet you. That's exactly what it is like.
Speaker 2: Do you think they loved it?
Speaker 1: Yes, I do, I do absolutely loved it. And this
Speaker 1: to me was I again I am.
Speaker 2: I loved it, loved.
Speaker 1: It as a forty year old man. I watched it
Speaker 1: through my fingers, like this is a cringey, cringey nine
Speaker 1: minute song, or however long it was.
Speaker 2: It was really long.
Speaker 1: So but that's me and I'm sure again Lisa already
Speaker 1: said loved it. I'm sure a lot of people did.
Speaker 1: This was a rough one for me.
Speaker 2: It was just so long. It really was very, very long.
Speaker 1: So this is from a producer, a producer, Lisa. But fans,
Speaker 1: I think, do now treat it more as a funny joke,
Speaker 1: like make fun of it when you're on a golf
Speaker 1: course or slap a reflection. Okay, that right, I get that.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 2: I think in the text thread she actually said you'll
Speaker 2: never look at a golf course again. And I think, Lisa,
Speaker 2: you are right again. I don't remember. I don't remember
Speaker 2: this scene at all when I first met, when I
Speaker 2: first watched it, so I was really surprised. And you're right, Lisa,
Speaker 2: I will never look at a golf course the same
Speaker 2: I think I'm going to learn some of those moves
Speaker 2: and the next time we do go golfing, will.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, do you think that that's going
Speaker 1: to happen? We're not running down the thing, standing on
Speaker 1: a thing and slapping water.
Speaker 2: Were playing golf together. We are running down that's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: We can of what we will. We will, of course
Speaker 1: put that on our social media. It is now the
Speaker 1: night of the talent show and all the wildcats are working,
Speaker 1: but we hear a loud shriek of sharpay echo through
Speaker 1: the country club. Troy has told her he won't performing,
Speaker 1: and she can't believe it. He asks for his kitchen
Speaker 1: job back, so he's an employee. He can't join in.
Speaker 1: He has to work. He doesn't like who he's become,
Speaker 1: so now he's doing something about it. He's more interested
Speaker 1: in his friend's opinion of him than the boosters love.
Speaker 1: That's stupid. He ditches her to clean the kitchen. She
Speaker 1: demands to find Ryan so he can do his Luau idea,
Speaker 1: but he won't perform with her either. Ooh, burning bridges.
Speaker 1: At the same time, Troy re enters the kitchen filled
Speaker 1: with his friends. They're happy to have the real Troy back,
Speaker 1: and they're proud of him for standing up for what
Speaker 1: he believes in. Ryan then enters the kitchen and Troy
Speaker 1: thanks him for his hard work with the Wildcats and
Speaker 1: apologizes for how he treated him. Ryan accepts, and even
Speaker 1: though he's still mad at her, he thinks Troy should
Speaker 1: go and sing with his sister. Troy thinks it over
Speaker 1: with a great blue eyed, smoldering look those blue eyes.
Speaker 1: Sharpey is crying in her dressing room when Troy appears.
Speaker 1: He says he'll save the day. He keeps his promises,
Speaker 1: but he'll only do the show if all the Wildcats
Speaker 1: can join, because this guy can't do anything, but God
Speaker 1: forbid the night he has loses his virginity, he's gonna
Speaker 1: need his entire team.
Speaker 2: There, my god, terrible she I'm just saying. She wishes
Speaker 2: he was.
Speaker 1: Doing this for her, but she knows he's a good guy.
Speaker 1: And the next thing you know, all the wild Cat
Speaker 1: employees are getting ready. Ryan says, Sharpei has picked a
Speaker 1: new song every day, and as all that's not picked
Speaker 1: a new song every day, a new song pause every day.
Speaker 1: That's the name of the song. And as always Troy
Speaker 1: can learn a new song in minutes with Kelsey, but
Speaker 1: when Sharpey is called to the stage, she did not
Speaker 1: pick a new song. Ryan and Kelsey did it behind
Speaker 1: her back. Troy takes the stage alone and performs every
Speaker 1: day and guests who comes out for the duet. Boom, Gabriella,
Speaker 1: she's back and everyone hates Sharpei. Yes, she appears from
Speaker 1: behind a group of people, just as a gust of
Speaker 1: wind hits Troy's hair. It's a big romantic moment and
Speaker 1: they're gonna be together every day. Eventually, the entire staff
Speaker 1: joins him on stage and sings along, even Sharpei, who
Speaker 1: now apparently knows the song, who they once again trust
Speaker 1: for some reason. Fulton is about to announce the winner
Speaker 1: of the Star Dazlo Award, which is set up to
Speaker 1: be Sharpei again, but in instead she grabs it and
Speaker 1: announces that it's her brother Ryan, well deserved. Now all
Speaker 1: of our main characters are outside at night holding lanterns.
Speaker 1: Gabriella says, here's to the future, but Troy corrects.
Speaker 2: Her, here's to right now.
Speaker 1: That's how I'm gonna say it, because that's how it sounded.
Speaker 1: They let go of the lantern to float away, and
Speaker 1: they finally kiss. Fireworks shoot off in the air and
Speaker 1: the sprinklers go off, but no one's phased. It's the
Speaker 1: best summer of their lives. We cut to the next day.
Speaker 1: It is a staff party at the pool and it's
Speaker 1: going off. There are way more employees than we ever
Speaker 1: could have imagined, and a band is playing. Eventually, our
Speaker 1: main characters take the stage and sing one last song,
Speaker 1: a massive number called All for One. It's about how
Speaker 1: great the summer was and how they did it all together.
Speaker 1: Shut and we get a big Disney cameo yes, which
Speaker 1: I had to rewind to make sure that it was right,
Speaker 1: with a brief appearance from none other than Hannah Montana
Speaker 1: herself Miley's Cyrus as a synergetic partygoer. She want to
Speaker 1: poll for what Disney star people wanted to see in
Speaker 1: the movie.
Speaker 2: Was she working at the Country?
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get into it. She's probably with constrict anyway.
Speaker 1: Song ends with Zach Effron and Vanessa Hudgens jumping in
Speaker 1: the pool with their clothes on. Something you can only
Speaker 1: get one shot to film. We get the predictable blooper
Speaker 1: reel over the credits, which is great, and there is
Speaker 1: our movie. Do you think Sharpey turns on them again?
Speaker 1: And in High School Musical three? Is she even in
Speaker 1: High School Musical three? I don't know.
Speaker 2: She is definitely in High School Musical three. I have
Speaker 2: no idea. Can I tell you I know nothing about
Speaker 2: the third one?
Speaker 1: Not how much I know?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I'm wondering now. I am absolutely wanting to
Speaker 2: know the third one. Now, where do we go from here?
Speaker 2: Because Sharpay is there's no way that she can just
Speaker 2: all of a sudden switch again. And wait, she has
Speaker 2: her own spin off movie after the third one Sharpey does.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, can we jump to that one? Or
Speaker 2: do we have to?
Speaker 1: We're gonna lose the whole story. We're gonna come back,
Speaker 1: She's gonna be holding two kids.
Speaker 2: Can wait? We have got to get to that one,
Speaker 2: because again, I can't imagine when an entire movie of
Speaker 2: just this character would he would be so good, so great,
Speaker 2: so good, so good.
Speaker 1: Well, there's our film. Can we do some real reviews?
Speaker 1: And it's worth noting? I'd like to write, I'd like
Speaker 1: to put this out there because this is true. It
Speaker 1: was hard to find bad reviews online for this movie.
Speaker 1: Of course producer Jensen did, but it was difficult to do.
Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, high school music. We just
Speaker 1: found out it's about prom and graduation.
Speaker 2: Of course it is. Okay, yeah, so we will get.
Speaker 1: To see him lose his virginity. Okay, good, So here
Speaker 1: we go, Sabrina, I think you have the one star
Speaker 1: this week? Can you read that out for us?
Speaker 2: And this one star makes me a giggle. I love it.
Speaker 2: This one is from Jonathan m. This music was so
Speaker 2: loud and so bad I may have went death. I
Speaker 2: literally may have went deaf, is what it says. Hearing
Speaker 2: aids don't even work it. You don't want to be deaf,
Speaker 2: then don't watch it.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's the scathing review. If you don't want to be.
Speaker 2: Deaf, volume down, relax down. I think that's a you problem,
Speaker 2: not the movie problem.
Speaker 1: I don't disagree. I have the five star review, of
Speaker 1: which there are bajillions, but this one, well, this one's
Speaker 1: from Fletcher Holmes Brown. And when I say I don't
Speaker 1: understand it, I mean I don't understand it. So five stars.
Speaker 1: I like that they all have faces. It's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I have some Colgate Toothpaste at Home too. Five stars. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: thank you very much. We are going to go very
Speaker 1: quickly now to our feature, Sabrina's favorite part of the podcast,
Speaker 1: of course, and this week's feature is called Cigar but
Speaker 1: no Cigar. We all know the cast of High School
Speaker 1: Musical propelled into superstardom after the three movies, But did
Speaker 1: you know that reportedly the late Naya rivera audition for
Speaker 1: the first movie, and Selena Gomez rejected appearing in the third.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, what could have been? We'll be getting.
Speaker 1: So here's the game. We're gonna be given the name
Speaker 1: of a star and we have to guess what iconic
Speaker 1: Disney role, both on the Channel or in a movie
Speaker 1: they allegedly were up for and didn't book. This is hard,
Speaker 1: so two out of five will win.
Speaker 2: And again we don't know what this is. So yikes.
Speaker 1: Okay, Number one is Hugh Jackman. So what iconic Disney
Speaker 1: role was Hugh Jackman up for but didn't book?
Speaker 3: I would say also, like four of the five are
Speaker 3: like massive Disney Channel or Disney movie characters, so it's
Speaker 3: not like obscuring.
Speaker 1: Right right, Okay, I'm gonna say for Hugh Jackman. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say the Beast in Beauty and the Beast.
Speaker 2: Ooh okay, so the cartoon movie, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I guess not because the new one. He would just
Speaker 1: get the new one when they just gives.
Speaker 2: Way too young. I don't know what it would have been.
Speaker 1: Then, what could he have been? What?
Speaker 3: It's live action, live Even if you lose, this one's
Speaker 3: gonna be very fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna lose because.
Speaker 2: He's because he's musical, right, like he's got.
Speaker 1: What's a big what's a big musical thing that it
Speaker 1: had adults for Disney?
Speaker 2: I have no idea.
Speaker 1: I don't either. I'm gonna stick with Beasts.
Speaker 2: I'm wrong, We'll do Beast.
Speaker 3: It's Captain Jack Sparrow.
Speaker 1: That makes sense written it was really then why didn't
Speaker 1: he do it?
Speaker 2: Doesn't say oh man, shes al right, I can't. That's
Speaker 2: a movie. You could not imagine Johnny Depp not being
Speaker 2: that character.
Speaker 1: That's just right. It's it's how do how do you
Speaker 1: not have Johnny Depp? Now? Our next one I have
Speaker 1: to google because I don't know who this is.
Speaker 2: I don't know who Taylor Mom said it is either.
Speaker 3: I don't know, she was the little girl in Grinch,
Speaker 3: but on top of that, she went on.
Speaker 2: To she was Cindy Luke Sidney Lucon and.
Speaker 3: Then gossip Girl.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, the one who's she's the head of that
Speaker 1: band in a band.
Speaker 2: Okay, then it's a TV show. I'm gonna go with
Speaker 2: Hannah Montana.
Speaker 3: Agreed, you got one right, it's Tanna Montana.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: One more for the win, Lindsey Lohan, a TV show
Speaker 1: for Lindsay Lohan.
Speaker 2: Uh ooh, Lindsey McGuire, Oh, good.
Speaker 3: Call dude, who is this person who's wearing the Sabrina mask? Maguire,
Speaker 3: she won.
Speaker 1: That was all her finishing up. Number four Billy Crystal,
Speaker 1: a Disney movie with Billy Crystal.
Speaker 2: Disney Disney Billy Crystal. It would have to be like
Speaker 2: an older one.
Speaker 1: Right, I'm gonna say the Santa.
Speaker 2: Claus Ooh, okay, I'll go with that.
Speaker 3: Very good guess. It's not correct, but that is a
Speaker 3: good guess. It's Buzz Lightyear.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're right, you're right.
Speaker 2: Okay. I was thinking Tom Hanks is is witty? Okay?
Speaker 1: And number five the last one Jim Carrey.
Speaker 2: In the movie Sad because I love him so much
Speaker 2: and what did what could he have done? What Disney
Speaker 2: movie could he have done? It would have been probably
Speaker 2: kind of back in the day. Can we get it?
Speaker 2: Just a small hint? Is it a cartoon movie?
Speaker 1: It's a cartoon Yeah, it is, okay, So.
Speaker 2: Then it could have been I'm gonna say Aladdin Aladdin. No, uh,
Speaker 2: Genie Genie Aladdin always.
Speaker 1: That's the Genie from Aladdin. But you're right, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be the Genie again.
Speaker 3: Another very good guess. But it's Prince Eric and little Mermaid.
Speaker 3: Oh your weird.
Speaker 2: That is so weird.
Speaker 1: I don't know about mermaids.
Speaker 2: I would hear. That would have been so cool to
Speaker 2: see here Prince Eric like funny though, he would have.
Speaker 1: There we go. But hey, you won, and that's all
Speaker 1: Sabrina by the way, that was all Sabrina. Sabrina won. Congratulations.
Speaker 1: Can we do a Sabrina ces please?
Speaker 2: Yes, I've got a couple. They really hit me from
Speaker 2: the very beginning. I had so many right at the
Speaker 2: beginning that I kind of was like, I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: have enough time to do all of them, so I'm
Speaker 2: just gonna kind of probably pull back. So I know,
Speaker 2: you say you like dance movies and dance offs. But
Speaker 2: do you are you a fan of So you think
Speaker 2: you can dance?
Speaker 1: I've never seen so you think you can dance?
Speaker 2: Okay, So then this one's not going to really resonate
Speaker 2: with you. But I'm hoping that there are fans of
Speaker 2: the show out there that it would resonate with. Alison
Speaker 2: Holker is in this movie. Now. She is a giant
Speaker 2: name that was on the show, competed, has gone back
Speaker 2: to do many all star performances. Also was a pro
Speaker 2: on Dancing with the Star, So she's a big dancer. Okay.
Speaker 2: She married a guy named Twitch at the late Twitch.
Speaker 2: He's unfortunately passed away. Who has ever heard of them?
Speaker 2: The DJ on Ellen DeGeneres's show. Yeah, I heard it.
Speaker 2: They were a couple. They met on I think throughout
Speaker 2: this So you think you can dance? And he was
Speaker 2: so Twitch was in the Step Up movies.
Speaker 1: Then I will twitches.
Speaker 2: Okay, there we go. So she has I doubt it
Speaker 2: was even considered a cameo when she filmed this. She
Speaker 2: might have done this before she did. Sure can dance,
Speaker 2: but she's one of those cheerleaders. A funny thing is
Speaker 2: because she's in it twice. She's in it when they
Speaker 2: went down the stairs very first scenes of the movie,
Speaker 2: the first musical. Then she is one of the dancers
Speaker 2: that does that really crazy technical skill that I told
Speaker 2: you about. Yeah, she's in it. I love Allison, she's
Speaker 2: a friend of mine. Shout out. She did amazing and
Speaker 2: to me, she jumped right out of the screen and
Speaker 2: was absolutely awesome. So that's one thing. In the next
Speaker 2: one was I'm almost positive and I should have fact
Speaker 2: checked this with Lisa. I feel like she would have known.
Speaker 2: They're a little picture of them that's in the locker
Speaker 2: that you pointed out earlier. I'm almost positive that's from
Speaker 2: like a red carpet of them on her red carpet.
Speaker 2: I feel like it is. I tried to find one.
Speaker 2: I took a screenshot of one. I think it could
Speaker 2: possibly be from some world premiere. Uh, maybe that is
Speaker 2: the high school music supermier, but that's what that It's
Speaker 2: not this exact picture, but I feel like it's of
Speaker 2: the same day because her hair looks the same and
Speaker 2: they're cute, they're young, so it looked like that to me.
Speaker 2: And then I had to do my friend James is
Speaker 2: in this movie, and I knew he was, and this
Speaker 2: is we didn't really know each other at the time,
Speaker 2: but he's the one that was in Sharpay's he's like
Speaker 2: her waiter at the beginning pool party. Oh okay, And
Speaker 2: I knew he was in it, but I thought he
Speaker 2: was a dancer. He has a full character, like Buddy,
Speaker 2: you got like a old You never told me that
Speaker 2: I knew you were in the movie. But yeah, in
Speaker 2: this movie, and we've already touched on it, there is
Speaker 2: not a bikini on site. There is no mid drifts
Speaker 2: of any girls around the entire time we're around the pool. However,
Speaker 2: there are hundreds of shirtless guys. Yeah, stand in standards
Speaker 2: and practices. Why that was not a thing? I feel
Speaker 2: like Hope could probably give us some insight on that.
Speaker 2: Why is it okay just show shirt with guys, but
Speaker 2: you cannot show any midriff within like a bikini or
Speaker 2: a top. Well, it was so strange to me, of course,
Speaker 2: the reflection. And then one thing I don't know if
Speaker 2: you noticed you might have, but Troy's mike at the
Speaker 2: very last song, every different shot he kept it was
Speaker 2: like a sequin stance situation, but he had his mic
Speaker 2: in a different hand every time. Oh, really crazy, because
Speaker 2: that's one thing as a performer, a continuity thing like
Speaker 2: with Mike's especially that it is very obvious when your
Speaker 2: Mike switched, so you have to really be I'm going
Speaker 2: to be a right handed mic person or I'm holding
Speaker 2: with my right hand.
Speaker 1: And don't switch it around a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't switch. So that drove me crazy, and
Speaker 2: that's all I got.
Speaker 1: That's great. Yeah, we just have. Yeah, rules were crazy
Speaker 1: for the girls because parents complain more on girls clothes
Speaker 1: than boys clothes.
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, that does make sense. But I mean
Speaker 2: maybe there's a reason why moms weren't calling in complaining
Speaker 2: about that, exactly.
Speaker 1: Honest double standards. Oh love it, love it all.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Now it's our time where we're gonna rate this movie,
Speaker 1: and this week we've got some great options. We've got
Speaker 1: one out of ten, of course, one being the worst,
Speaker 1: ten being the best, as we do every week. One
Speaker 1: out of ten, twisted flips on the skateboard, one out
Speaker 1: of ten, soaked love birds, one at ten University of
Speaker 1: Texas logos. One at attend people pretending to be British
Speaker 1: for no reason. One at attend to humahumakua us one
Speaker 1: attend singing breakups, octopuses in a wrestling match, hating ass
Speaker 1: tailors one out of ten your Mom's brownies or one
Speaker 1: out of ten Miley Cyrus Campbell. I'm gonna leave get.
Speaker 2: A chance to talk to Monique Coleman about her hate
Speaker 2: and how she felt about that with her character.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to find out which one. What do
Speaker 1: you want to do? I'm gonna let you pick. Hmm.
Speaker 2: I think I want to do humahum That's what I
Speaker 2: want to do.
Speaker 1: Are you even gonna be able to say it? It's
Speaker 1: hum humakaua.
Speaker 2: Huma huma nuka.
Speaker 1: Humahumakua huma humakaukaua. Okay, we'll do that one. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go first because I go first. Yeah, I'm gonna go first.
Speaker 1: So I did not like this movie as much as
Speaker 1: I liked the first one, but I still enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: It was much more theatrical, it was much bigger. I
Speaker 1: just found it to be a little bit cheesier than
Speaker 1: the first one. But I get why people would love
Speaker 1: this movie. People are obviously stars. Ashley Tisdale is incredible.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with eight point five humahua as for
Speaker 1: high school Musical two. I think I gave high school
Speaker 1: Musical nine or even in nine to five, so it's
Speaker 1: just below that. It's just below that. But yes, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with eight point five huma human ukkua as
Speaker 1: four or high school musical too.
Speaker 2: And now it's your turn. Oh man, Okay. So I
Speaker 2: was actually surprised. I wasn't expecting to like it again
Speaker 2: as watching it now as much as I liked the
Speaker 2: first one, which I know the hype, I know everyone
Speaker 2: loves the second one. I wasn't expecting to like it
Speaker 2: as much because I don't remember liking it as much
Speaker 2: when it originally came out right watching it again, I
Speaker 2: liked it the same I did. It gave me everything
Speaker 2: that I wanted, especially now. I adored the chemistry between
Speaker 2: the two of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can see like.
Speaker 2: Ashley Tisdale's I loved knowing the background of me working
Speaker 2: with Kenny the way, like we have talked before, how
Speaker 2: he arcs storylines for every character. It's not just the
Speaker 2: two big characters, it's it's everywhere. And I could see
Speaker 2: where he's going with a lot of the characters in
Speaker 2: the second movie. I I'm going to give it a nine.
Speaker 2: I really did like it, and again nine A nine.
Speaker 2: Humahumakunkuna not accurate but okay. And that's again still saying,
Speaker 2: and I know I'm gonna get flak for it that
Speaker 2: some of the songs were too long and one in
Speaker 2: my opinion, was not needed at all. And even with that,
Speaker 2: I loved the movie.
Speaker 1: It's a nine for me, A nine.
Speaker 2: What humahuma nuka nukakuhoopakas.
Speaker 1: Nope, I was actually closer, which is really sad. Huma huma, huma,
Speaker 1: huma huma uma nuka nuka nuka.
Speaker 2: Poo a ah a pooa a poo ah ah. There
