Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you this later, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: ask you now. Are you a horse person?
Speaker 2: I do love horses. I can't say I've been around
Speaker 2: them like a ton, but yeah, no, I mean I
Speaker 2: my aunt had some horses, but she lived pretty far
Speaker 2: so we didn't see her very often. But yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean I am like, I don't not like them. I'm
Speaker 2: very intrigued by them, Like I love like Carson Kresley,
Speaker 2: who I worked with for in Vegas for Dancing with
Speaker 2: the Stars, is like big in equestrian riding, and I
Speaker 2: had a couple of friends that were It's very intriguing,
Speaker 2: but I've never had like an opportunity to really get
Speaker 2: into horses. I feel like, if that makes sense, what
Speaker 2: about you a person?
Speaker 1: No, I'm kidding. I'm not a horse person, but I'm
Speaker 1: married into a very horse family.
Speaker 2: Okay, Like what kind of.
Speaker 1: So my wife competed growing up like a chestrian or
Speaker 1: what so my wife and daughter My daughter was a
Speaker 1: nationally ranked jumper. Wow, so she still rides, and I
Speaker 1: mean she was like, she was very I think she
Speaker 1: was like four or five in the country when she
Speaker 1: was twelve. Susan also competed and won many competitions I
Speaker 1: think in dressage. And then my brother in law and
Speaker 1: his wife just had the last Olympics. They had a
Speaker 1: dressage horse that went to the last Olympics. So it's
Speaker 1: like where they're they're like a horse.
Speaker 2: But that's what like racine or do they like.
Speaker 1: The horse ballet? You know, where they're all are dancing.
Speaker 1: I could watch that family.
Speaker 2: I could totally get into watching that.
Speaker 1: I really would say. She would bring me to these
Speaker 1: competitions and my mother in law was the god rest
Speaker 1: was the sweetest woman in the world, and she loved
Speaker 1: me and she would sit next to me and go.
Speaker 1: Watching these things is like watching grass grow because you'd
Speaker 1: see and it's also it's so niche that it's like
Speaker 1: we're sitting there and we're watching, having no idea what's happened?
Speaker 2: No idea?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the horse does yeah exactly. The horse does
Speaker 1: something and the whole crowd goes oh, and we're like,
Speaker 1: what what just happened? We miss what's going on?
Speaker 2: That's what I mean. I know I could get into
Speaker 2: like all things, I just have never had the opportunity
Speaker 2: or someone to really like take me into it.
Speaker 1: So I married into a horse family, and wow, horse
Speaker 1: people are very much horse people. Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's oh yeah, it's like an absolute lifestyle.
Speaker 1: It's a language and it's a fashion style. I mean
Speaker 1: it's all horses all the time. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Carson Kresley is like, so, I've seen pictures of his
Speaker 2: house and like just the way his house is decorated,
Speaker 2: it's fashion, but like there's a lot of equestrian like
Speaker 2: and horseshoes and you know, things that are like mixed
Speaker 2: in and it's it's pretty cool though, it's a wild world.
Speaker 1: It's a micro.
Speaker 2: Love to be brought into it. Maybe I need to
Speaker 2: go to your family's house wherever they're from.
Speaker 1: Oh it's not here, but you can check out all
Speaker 1: their other ones and see what's up. But anyway, welcome
Speaker 1: back to Magical Rewind, the show that makes you want
Speaker 1: to grab your friends, your pjs and your popcorn and
Speaker 1: go back to a time when all the houses are smart.
Speaker 1: The wave tsunamis and we knew the movies we were watching.
Speaker 1: I'm Wilfred Ell and.
Speaker 2: I'm soa bride and you could not be more right
Speaker 2: like watching today.
Speaker 1: As you can imagine, since we're talking so much about horses,
Speaker 1: we are obviously talking about double teamed two. This time
Speaker 1: it's personal. No, I'm kidding. We're gonna get ready for
Speaker 1: a photo finish because this week on Magical Rewind we're
Speaker 1: riding side saddle, but not really for a very I'm
Speaker 1: gonna use it again Niche two thousand horse racing drama
Speaker 1: ready to run? Okay, do you go horse races? Watch racing?
Speaker 1: I can't stand horse racing. I'm gonna say that right
Speaker 1: out loud. It's a horrible world where they treat these
Speaker 1: horses like and it's absolutely awful. So uh not for me.
Speaker 1: But what about you? Do you go to horse races?
Speaker 2: I don't go to horse races, but I have been
Speaker 2: to one.
Speaker 1: I've been to one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been to one. I wore the hat, you know,
Speaker 2: I do like like eras, right, So I was in
Speaker 2: like a hat era for the day. I wore the
Speaker 2: big hat and did the whole thing. We we took
Speaker 2: the train down to what is it Del Mar or whatever,
Speaker 2: the one that's towards San Diego.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know the one you're talking about.
Speaker 2: And I've done that. Was there for the social aspect
Speaker 2: of it. Didn't watch the races very much. With up
Speaker 2: and down, I loved like putting picking numbers for Jordan.
Speaker 2: He is one of the luckiest people in the world,
Speaker 2: a bunch of money, not knowing what he was doing,
Speaker 2: but he that's just what his that's his thing.
Speaker 1: People are like that, Yeah, he is.
Speaker 2: He's very, very lucky, and so I loved like helping
Speaker 2: him pick numbers and him trying to figure out the
Speaker 2: numbers of it. But yeah, I mean I was surprised,
Speaker 2: Like I was like, wait, do these horses go more
Speaker 2: than once? That seems very tiring, and like when.
Speaker 1: I start it. Yeah, there's documentaries you can watch that
Speaker 1: are pretty.
Speaker 2: It's a rough it's a rough world and lots.
Speaker 1: Of drugs, and it's like, oh, the horse didn't do well,
Speaker 1: let's destroy it. I mean it's like it's not whereas
Speaker 1: if you look at European horse racing, like there's a
Speaker 1: documentary that compares a European to American and it's just huh,
Speaker 1: night and day. Where the Europeans they revere the horses,
Speaker 1: they treat the horse as well. They're not allowed to
Speaker 1: run until there are a certain age, they're only around
Speaker 1: allowed to run a certain amount. I mean, it's like
Speaker 1: as opposed to hear in the states where it's like
Speaker 1: run them into the ground, make as much money as
Speaker 1: you can, then grind him up and move on to
Speaker 1: the next one. It's really gross.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I mean in all aspects of like any
Speaker 2: like high driven sport. I feel like they do that
Speaker 2: to athletes, like run them into the ground. Who cares,
Speaker 2: like looking at you know, march madness. I'm like, these
Speaker 2: kids are these kids are college students, not paying attention
Speaker 2: to school like nothing, and we're just gonna have them
Speaker 2: play like every day for like three months or however.
Speaker 1: But not all of them, but a lot of them
Speaker 1: are gonna go off and make one hundred million dollars
Speaker 1: and it's what they've wanted to do their whole life.
Speaker 1: For the prist, no horses really have no choice.
Speaker 2: That's true. True, it is very different in that sense.
Speaker 2: But I'm just saying, like I just feel like everything
Speaker 2: gets so like anything in competition world just gets so
Speaker 2: aggressive so quickly.
Speaker 1: Well, they also, this is one of the things that
Speaker 1: this film actually addresses that you just talked about a
Speaker 1: little bit with young athletes, is the age of an
Speaker 1: athlete when they're should be allowed to compete at a
Speaker 1: high level. And it's one of those things where that's
Speaker 1: up for debate. There's people that say, hey, we should
Speaker 1: be paying high school and college athletes because you know
Speaker 1: they're gonna blah blah blah and they're doing this, and yeah,
Speaker 1: but your bodies can get destroyed at a young age.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's a weird combination. But anyway, that's
Speaker 1: not what we're here to talk about. That's a different movie.
Speaker 1: We're talking about Ready to Run, So let's do fats.
Speaker 1: Ready to Run debut on July fourteenth in the year
Speaker 1: two thousand and It includes some interesting names from within
Speaker 1: the world of comedy, even if for what only seems
Speaker 1: like a few seconds and for very strange reasons, which
Speaker 1: makes it even weirder that this movie has been almost
Speaker 1: completely erased from everyone's memories. We've talked about this before,
Speaker 1: but when it comes to being a Disney Channel original movie,
Speaker 1: there are the Brinks, the high school musicals, the Johnny Tsunamis,
Speaker 1: and then there's the Ready to Runs. So there just
Speaker 1: isn't a lot of information about this one, but let's
Speaker 1: get through the very little we do know about it.
Speaker 1: It was filmed in Auckland, New Zealand, and it was
Speaker 1: nominated for a Golden Real Award in the field of
Speaker 1: Best Sound Editing for a TV Movie by the Motion
Speaker 1: Picture Sound Editors Union. And yes, this is a talking
Speaker 1: horse movie, though it absolutely feels like that was added
Speaker 1: at the last minute. Obviously a theme made famous by
Speaker 1: the legendary show Mister Ed. Did you see Mister Ed? Ever? So, yeah,
Speaker 1: of course. So it's like Doctor Doolittle, what did you
Speaker 1: come into this movie knowing it was a talking horse
Speaker 1: movie or thinking it was a talking horse movie? Or
Speaker 1: do you just think it was a horse movie?
Speaker 2: Well, I had no idea at all until I saw
Speaker 2: just what the you know, head front picture is that's
Speaker 2: on Disney, plus that there was going to be a horse.
Speaker 2: And then in no way did I know that the
Speaker 2: horse would be talking. I figured by what it will
Speaker 2: look like it was like a horse racing movie, like
Speaker 2: a sea biscuit, right, so that's the same.
Speaker 1: That was it.
Speaker 2: And then the horse starts talking, and I'm like, that
Speaker 2: was the turn. I didn't think we were going to
Speaker 2: be taking it. I started talking.
Speaker 1: Like twenty minutes in and then doesn't for a long time.
Speaker 2: It anyway, Yeah, we have I have real questions.
Speaker 1: Yes, we'll get there. Yes, trust me, I think I
Speaker 1: could assume this answer. But did you know anything about
Speaker 1: this movie? For sign?
Speaker 2: And then I'm assuming the same for you? Are you
Speaker 2: Ready to Run? Could have been like somebody who like
Speaker 2: runs marathons easily?
Speaker 1: Is a kid just wanting to be the first and
Speaker 1: youngest marathon winner for the Boston Marathon. I mean, it
Speaker 1: could have been anything.
Speaker 2: It could have been a doctor on the Dixie Chicks
Speaker 2: and they're ready to Run song. I don't know. I'm
Speaker 2: not just a.
Speaker 1: Song called ready to I'm not even gonna I'm not
Speaker 1: going down that rabbit hole. Can't do it, can't do
Speaker 1: it yet, can't do it? Not filing questions away for later. Well,
Speaker 1: you can now get associated with Ready to Run just
Speaker 1: like we are. It is streaming on Disney Plus, so
Speaker 1: you can watch it now or later pre recap or
Speaker 1: post recap, or preview or postview or pre Fontaine or
Speaker 1: post Fontaine. You pick. You choose your own adventure. Turn
Speaker 1: a page sixty. You want to slay the dragon. Now
Speaker 1: it's time to dig down deep and find your inner
Speaker 1: Apologies to all Spanish speakers out there, because I'm gonna
Speaker 1: butcher this La Confianza de Cabellos. Yeah, okay, well here's
Speaker 1: the synopsis. Teenager Corey Ortiz discovers she can telepathically communicate
Speaker 1: with a racehorse named thunder Jam and helps him become
Speaker 1: a contender on the racetrack. So yes, it has a
Speaker 1: little bit of similarities with Ring of Endless Light, minus
Speaker 1: the dolphin at a horse. But I think the thing
Speaker 1: I took away from this movie is there isn't much
Speaker 1: talking horse when all is said is done? Am I right?
Speaker 1: It's just like the Dolphins. It's sort of just kind
Speaker 1: of a b story that the horse talks, and frankly,
Speaker 1: it was completely and totally unnecessary to the story.
Speaker 2: I don't Yeah, just I don't know. Well, when I
Speaker 2: watched the opening credits too, I was like, oh, Sinbad's
Speaker 2: in here, And then I kept looking for when he
Speaker 2: was going to join the cast, and I'm like, wait,
Speaker 2: is he the horses?
Speaker 1: Yep?
Speaker 2: One of the I couldn't even then. It made me
Speaker 2: feel like, I guess I'm not that big of a
Speaker 2: Sinbad fan, which I kind of thought I was. And
Speaker 2: I couldn't even recognize his voice. I didn't even know
Speaker 2: which one he was.
Speaker 1: Was completely and totally unnecessary. Disney, go make a great
Speaker 1: movie about a young girl who wants to be a jockey. Yes,
Speaker 1: that would make it very cool.
Speaker 2: I would like it. I think I would like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. It got muddled. Both Seabiscuit and Secretariat
Speaker 1: were great movies. Well, beautiful movie.
Speaker 2: Wat This is one of my my Sabrina seas because
Speaker 2: I was like, when did Seabiscuit come out? Cause I
Speaker 2: feel like it was close to two thousand and we
Speaker 2: came out in two thousand and three, So then I
Speaker 2: was like, well, that's kind of cool that, like Disney
Speaker 2: Channel again is ahead of the curve, because once Seabiscuit
Speaker 2: came out, I feel like there were a couple of
Speaker 2: horse racing type things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in the original Seabiscuit, the original movie came out, No, no, no,
Speaker 1: it came out in two thousand and three, but was
Speaker 1: also a talking horse movie and Seabiscuit was going to
Speaker 1: be voiced by Don Delaiz and they decided not to
Speaker 1: do that. No, I didn't get you all, damn no. No.
Speaker 2: There is original Sea Biscuit that was that came out
Speaker 2: way earlier. I saw there really when I looked it up.
Speaker 2: There was like an older version of it. Wasn't the
Speaker 2: same movie. It was just a different story on Sea Biscuit.
Speaker 2: Okay anyway, but I was like, this is kind of cool.
Speaker 2: That was one of my Spreece seas well. There's not
Speaker 2: very many of them, so there might.
Speaker 1: Be it was. There was no There was no Gensen
Speaker 1: and Internet season this one either. There's very little information
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 2: I know, I kind of went online because I was
Speaker 2: started sort of needing to do something.
Speaker 1: I know I watched this movie in nine minute increments. Anyway,
Speaker 1: all right, here we go. You're ready to run as
Speaker 1: directed by a very familiar name to Magical rewind, Dwayne Dunham,
Speaker 1: who I hope we can have on at some point.
Speaker 1: We've talked about him a bunch in the past. The
Speaker 1: award winning editor was a frequent David Lynch collaborator, and
Speaker 1: he edited Star Wars Return of the Jedi and Bill
Speaker 1: and Ted's Excellent Adventure. I don't know if you knew this, Sabrina,
Speaker 1: but the original Star Wars starred Dom de Luiz. Dunham
Speaker 1: would eventually It's not true either, but Dunham would eventually
Speaker 1: transition into directing and was behind the camera for d
Speaker 1: COM's Like Is another Legend, Halloween Town right on Track,
Speaker 1: Tiger Cruz and the Thirteenth Year. One of the real
Speaker 1: I mean just the o Geez. I have to argue
Speaker 1: if we do a director's Mount Rushmore of d Comm's,
Speaker 1: he'd be up there, up there, of course, the man
Speaker 1: Kenny Ortega. That's three. We'd have to figure out who
Speaker 1: number four would because there's been a bunch, but Dwayn
Speaker 1: Dunham would have to be up there.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The movie stars Chrissy Perez, who you can also see
Speaker 1: is sometimes Crystal Perez and sometimes Crystal Poe. The names
Speaker 1: are it depends on where you look at it. She's
Speaker 1: the horse talker Cory Ortiz. This was her first job
Speaker 1: ever in Hollywood, and after this she only appeared on
Speaker 1: a TV show called The Division and an episode of
Speaker 1: General Hospital and then that's it. I'm not sure we've
Speaker 1: ever had any dcoms where the star was only an
Speaker 1: actor for two years. Kind of cool, just kind of
Speaker 1: came in, did some stuff and then was like the off. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: Jason Doring plays b Moody. Jason is best known for
Speaker 1: his role in the movie Deep Impact and as Logan
Speaker 1: on Veronica Mars. He is a TV Vet with a
Speaker 1: ton of credits including I Zombie, Roswell, Party Down, and
Speaker 1: Seal Team. He is also the voice of Terra in
Speaker 1: the American Kingdom Hearts games, and I was in those
Speaker 1: games as well. I played Cipher. Lillian Hurst is lords
Speaker 1: Corey's mom. You may recognize hers from Lost, where she
Speaker 1: was one of the B Team Island Castaways. She was
Speaker 1: also a regular on Dharma and Greg, True Blood, and
Speaker 1: the Incredible Lisa Kudrou Show, The Comeback. Nestor Serrano is
Speaker 1: Hector Machado. They're always working character actors. Srano is in
Speaker 1: movies like Bringing Out the Dead, The Day After Tomorrow,
Speaker 1: Bad Boys, and another horse movie. We just talked about Secretariat,
Speaker 1: starring him and Don de Luiz. I'm kidding. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna keep throwing Don Delawiz. But also for all of
Speaker 1: our listeners out there, like who the Guy? Google them.
Speaker 1: He also has been on TV shows like Blue Blood's Revenge,
Speaker 1: Law and Order Er, and a very little known show
Speaker 1: called True Blue Shot back in New York, starring a
Speaker 1: very young Wilfridell in his first ever TV appearance, Thank
Speaker 1: you much, I was eleven years old.
Speaker 2: That's awesome, And.
Speaker 1: Here comes quite a run of comedians and voiceover rolls.
Speaker 1: All of them are horses. First, Rick to Common is
Speaker 1: the voice of Cyclone. He appeared in a bunch of
Speaker 1: classic comedies, including Spaceballs, Groundhog Day, and Sino Man, and
Speaker 1: the movie he's best known for The Urbs sadly Do.
Speaker 1: Common died in twenty fifteen at the age of sixty
Speaker 1: two from complications from diabetes and then comedian Paul Rodriguez
Speaker 1: is the voice of TJ or thunder Jam. He's one
Speaker 1: of the eighties and nineties biggest names in stand up,
Speaker 1: also appearing in movie He's Like a Cinderella Story, Ali
Speaker 1: rat Race and born in East LA. Nowadays he is
Speaker 1: known as p Rod's Dad and had to Google that
Speaker 1: his son has become one of the greatest skateboarders of
Speaker 1: all time, the first skater with his own Nike shoe. Incredible.
Speaker 1: And finally, we have Sindbad as the voice of Hollywood Shuffle.
Speaker 1: Sindbad also one of the eighties biggest names in stand
Speaker 1: up who then transitioned into acting as one of the
Speaker 1: stars of The Cosby Show spin off A Different World.
Speaker 1: He also had his own sitcom, The Sinbad Show, and
Speaker 1: started movies like necessary roughness, house guests, good Burger jingle
Speaker 1: all the way and first kid. This is a big
Speaker 1: get for Disney. But since it's just his voice, he's
Speaker 1: barely in this movie. He cannot sit in the Dabney
Speaker 1: Reynolds chair. Sorry, those are the rules. We all know it.
Speaker 1: Sindbad suffered a stroke in twenty twenty, caused by a
Speaker 1: blood clot, but is reportedly doing okay in recovery, and
Speaker 1: many consider it to be a miracle. We're glad he's
Speaker 1: doing well. He's a very funny guy. But still the
Speaker 1: thing I'm wondering about how long is ready to run?
Speaker 1: How many horse lengths? As you know, we hear magical
Speaker 1: rewind consider ninety minutes to be the perfect length of
Speaker 1: a movie. Anything else is stupid, and so this one,
Speaker 1: the horse d com runs ninety six minutes. It's a
Speaker 1: horrible reality.
Speaker 2: Takes extra minutes, felt like four hours.
Speaker 1: It did, it really did six minutes over the target
Speaker 1: and just horribly disappointing. I appreciate as much Sinbad as
Speaker 1: anyone can get, but not hear people not in this movie.
Speaker 1: Keep it ninety guys, and we have one writer here.
Speaker 1: The credit goes to John Werick, John was a writer
Speaker 1: on Step by Step with thirty three episodes to his name,
Speaker 1: and he has another d comm on his resume. Double
Speaker 1: Teamed Got some things to say to John. As far
Speaker 1: as other TV movies, he also wrote Too Legit, the
Speaker 1: mc hammer Story, and the very serious Matthew Shepherd's Story.
Speaker 1: Nowadays he writes a lot of Hallmark Christmas movies. So
Speaker 1: I take you back, I love you John. Put me
Speaker 1: on Hallmark Christmas movie.
Speaker 2: Put me in one of those I love Christmas movies.
Speaker 2: It is just so Double Team is just so personal
Speaker 2: for you now it is.
Speaker 1: I gotta talk to you. I got some things to
Speaker 1: talk about. I also love that it just pisses off
Speaker 1: producer Micaelibs.
Speaker 4: I know she's so sweet because it's fun because I'm
Speaker 4: a little brother and always will be.
Speaker 1: We open in a race track tunnel with horses making
Speaker 1: their way to the track at Sonora Downs, a beautiful
Speaker 1: group of animals steered by jockeys, but no horses are
Speaker 1: talking yet, which is false advertising if you ask me.
Speaker 1: We see the day's first race begin, fans in the
Speaker 1: stands excited to cheer on their favorites and announce their credits.
Speaker 1: Thunder Jam as the heavy favorite, but now the horse
Speaker 1: doesn't even want to get into the starting gate. Teenager
Speaker 1: Corey works at the track helping mister Hector Machado with
Speaker 1: his horses. She's currently guiding one thoroughbred into the starting
Speaker 1: position and notices the struggling number nine horse, Thunderjam. She
Speaker 1: expresses her desire to one day be a jockey herself.
Speaker 1: The horses are finally locked away and boom away we go,
Speaker 1: and as one would have assumed, Thunderjam is still in
Speaker 1: the gate even a few minutes later. What a bust.
Speaker 1: Eventually he starts the race, but the horse is still
Speaker 1: bucking and nowhere near in competition. Eventually, in the last
Speaker 1: leg a traffic jam caused is another horse, Mandalay Bride,
Speaker 1: who we will refer to as Mandalay Bay sometimes and
Speaker 1: mandale Bride other times. Doesn't matter. To smash into the
Speaker 1: gate and go down. Luckily, the horse is quick to
Speaker 1: get up, as is the jockey. We so far have
Speaker 1: Mandalay Bay see cyclone and thunder Jam. Sabrina, if you
Speaker 1: had a racehorse, what are you naming your racehorse? Oh
Speaker 1: my god, top of your head, quick, don't even think
Speaker 1: what's name?
Speaker 2: Come on, oh, racehorse, racehorse. Uh try something like lightning something.
Speaker 1: Oh really, you wouldn't make it personal. Wouldn't be like
Speaker 1: dough the cheetah or something like that.
Speaker 2: Cheetah lightning, Cheetah lightning.
Speaker 1: There you go. I love that Mine would be boy
Speaker 1: Meet's last place. I think that'd be the best one
Speaker 1: they could possibly do. Uh. No, be plays with horses.
Speaker 1: That's what'd be. After plays with squirrels from Boymans for ol,
Speaker 1: they'd be plays with horses.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 1: We are now back at the stables. Corey is talking
Speaker 1: to mister Machado about the race and begging him for
Speaker 1: a chance to jockey, but he thinks it's just too dangerous.
Speaker 1: She worked for him the last two years and swear
Speaker 1: she knows everything that's needed from her, but he's not
Speaker 1: changing his mind yet. Meanwhile, Mandalay Bride's owner, mister Garris,
Speaker 1: is with a nurse who says the horse will never
Speaker 1: race again. She suggests making her a riding pony, but
Speaker 1: the jerk just wants to put the horse down because
Speaker 1: it can't race. He walks away, and this guy is
Speaker 1: such an I was hoping somebody just beat him over
Speaker 1: the head with a bat he's a horrible, horrible We
Speaker 1: could hope this guy was because again, I have a
Speaker 1: real problem and I didn't have a problem with it
Speaker 1: really before I got married, but Sue has a huge
Speaker 1: problem with any kind of movie or anything where animals
Speaker 1: are hurt. And it never bothered me before just because
Speaker 1: it's fake. You know, I know it's movies and it's movie.
Speaker 1: Maybe I just that's where my head goes. But it's
Speaker 1: starting to bother me the older I'm getting. And so
Speaker 1: a movie where they're openly talking about just let's kill
Speaker 1: this horse and grind it up and horses are flipping
Speaker 1: over it. This movie freaked me out a little bit.
Speaker 2: It was just it was very off putting. It was
Speaker 2: it was it was literally, I didn't this is like
Speaker 2: another one of the very cut, cut up the horse
Speaker 2: to meet like that said, actual said, and it felt weird. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're rightfully of.
Speaker 1: Those moments where I was just like ew yeah. But anyway,
Speaker 1: mister Machatta swings by, still talking to Corey about her
Speaker 1: future in racing. He suggests she gets her mom's permission
Speaker 1: and then come back to him. He stops to talk
Speaker 1: to the nurse and finds out Garris wants to put
Speaker 1: Mandalay Bride down and assumes it's just for the insurance money.
Speaker 1: You can't get paid if the horse is still alive. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: thunder Jam's jockey is complaining he'll never ride that pathetic
Speaker 1: horse again. It doesn't care what mister Michatdo thinks about it.
Speaker 1: He walks out, leaving Corey to pick up the pieces.
Speaker 1: She talks with thunder Jam, giving him words of encouragement.
Speaker 1: He still doesn't answer. Mister Michatdo overhears her and laughs
Speaker 1: at the optimism. He knows that Thoroughbread needs more heart.
Speaker 1: Corey isn't ready to give up on TJ just yet
Speaker 1: and is devastated to hear what's gonna happen at Mandalai Bride.
Speaker 1: Corey thinks there has to be something they can do,
Speaker 1: but her boss reminds her Mandalay Bride isn't their problem now.
Speaker 1: Back at Corey's house, her brother Gabby is watching a
Speaker 1: horse race on TV with her underwear ondd as a helmet.
Speaker 1: He's pretending to be a jockey. Corey's Abulita, is that right?
Speaker 1: Lord's I think I'm saying that right. Abolita Lords is
Speaker 1: watching as well and betting with toothpicks. She's already down
Speaker 1: two thousand. Now. In her room, Corey puts her money
Speaker 1: in a box and pulls out a pamphlet for Sonora
Speaker 1: Holmes and a photo of her dad, a former jockey.
Speaker 1: She looks at it with sadness in her eyes and says,
Speaker 1: I won't let you down, Dad. At the dinner table,
Speaker 1: Corey and her mom talk about her losing day at
Speaker 1: the track. Sonia tells Corey that Hector Maachado is a
Speaker 1: good man and God will reward him at some point.
Speaker 1: Abolita Lords says she was a good woman, but her
Speaker 1: luck still stinks, and Sonya reminds her that God will
Speaker 1: reward her with grandchildren, but Lord says she would trade
Speaker 1: them for a winning horse. A man's sister, says the
Speaker 1: guy with no kids. Corey sees her opening and mentions
Speaker 1: that she's been thinking about getting a new job, becoming
Speaker 1: a jockey. Her mom quickly tells her she won't allow it.
Speaker 1: Sonia lists some of the other career paths that Corey
Speaker 1: should look into, like being a doctor or a teacher,
Speaker 1: but Corey just wants to be a jockey. The answer
Speaker 1: is no, and that's final. Corey insays she can be
Speaker 1: anything she wants, it's what she learn from her dad.
Speaker 1: But then her mom reminds her all her dad got
Speaker 1: from being a jockey was a nice headstone about to cry.
Speaker 1: So Sonya asked Corey if she wants to break her
Speaker 1: heart again, and ladies and gentlemen, it's official. We have
Speaker 1: a dead dad. Corey storms off to her room and
Speaker 1: Abulita Lord's points out the similarities that Corey has with
Speaker 1: her dad, but Sony isn't hearing it. Lord's wonders out loud,
Speaker 1: what if she has the gift? And this is the
Speaker 1: first time we're hearing about it. Now in Corey's room,
Speaker 1: she's laying in her bed, watching her mobile of glass
Speaker 1: figures glisten in the moonlight. The crystal horse specifically catches
Speaker 1: her eye. After peeking out her window at the stables
Speaker 1: across the street, she decides to sneak out because the
Speaker 1: horse looks like a you know, what do you call it?
Speaker 1: A pegasus? You know, the a winged horse. So that's
Speaker 1: what the guy said. The only word's gonna got off
Speaker 1: a girl's wings. Still in her pajamas, but now with
Speaker 1: the horses, Corey tells Mandalay Bride that everything will be
Speaker 1: okay and she won't let anyone hurt her, then guides
Speaker 1: her out of the stables. Corey takes the halter off
Speaker 1: the horse, saying it's for her own good, and with that,
Speaker 1: the horse takes off into the night, giving one last
Speaker 1: buck and nay as a thank you. Then we're back
Speaker 1: in the stables and the horses start talking to each other.
Speaker 1: It's begun people. They all seem very happy for Mandelay Bride.
Speaker 1: When Corey comes back in, the horses get instantly quiet,
Speaker 1: but she heard the whispering. She's scared, thinks someone might
Speaker 1: be in the stables. She starts walking back to her room.
Speaker 1: Thunder Jen speaks story again and tells her she did
Speaker 1: a very brave thing. Corey obviously startled wonders who said that.
Speaker 1: Thunder Jem tells her I did me, tj. Corey assumes
Speaker 1: she's going crazy, and frankly, I don't blame her. The
Speaker 1: entire effect of the horse talking this movie is weird.
Speaker 1: It's just their head kind of moving and you hear
Speaker 1: a voice. It's like it's nothing. Was that weird to you?
Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't like it's weird.
Speaker 2: Because now, like the animation that they can add to
Speaker 2: act like the animals in movies is so good that
Speaker 2: it's weird to see what it was like before they
Speaker 2: could do that.
Speaker 1: But even Ed they would fill the horse's mouth with
Speaker 1: peanut butter, so even the mouth moved.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I feel like that was like an old
Speaker 2: school way of doing it, and it didn't actually ever
Speaker 2: look like the horse was actually really talking. When mister
Speaker 2: Ed did.
Speaker 1: That, he was just like, this is weird. Well, first
Speaker 1: of all, don't don't denigrate peanut butter, because I will
Speaker 1: I will talk for anybody for peanut butter. It's brilliant.
Speaker 2: No, I'm I love peanut butter. But I'm saying it
Speaker 2: never really looked like it was actually talking. So it's
Speaker 2: kind of like what's the worst, Like, what what's the
Speaker 2: better evil in this situation? Yeah, and was great because now,
Speaker 2: especially like looking at like a movie like The Lion
Speaker 2: King that they can do where it's all the animals
Speaker 2: they all look talking, it's like, it's so good. It's
Speaker 2: weird to now look back. And I just took it
Speaker 2: as that it's like dated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, it was two thousand, cour it just looked
Speaker 1: like it was added at the end, like let's just
Speaker 1: make the horses come.
Speaker 2: Yes, it actually did once we Once you said that,
Speaker 2: I was like, it really actually did look like it.
Speaker 1: Was like they just like something that was thought.
Speaker 2: Of ahead of times, like this is missing something. Her
Speaker 2: just talking, but we I would prefer this than the
Speaker 2: dog that was supposed to be talking to him, and
Speaker 2: we can never underhear who what he was saying.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah that for uh, the one with Kirk Cameron. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: I prefer this than that.
Speaker 2: I prefer this than that, because that was that.
Speaker 1: Was prefer anything to that. Corey doesn't believe she's actually
Speaker 1: talking to a horse. She thinks maybe the fumes are
Speaker 1: getting to her head. What fumes make you think horses
Speaker 1: are talking to you? Because I want some. The next day,
Speaker 1: back at the stables, one of mister Garrison's employees is
Speaker 1: talking to a prospective horse killer who drove through the
Speaker 1: night to pick up Mandalay Bride, but now they have
Speaker 1: no idea where the animal is. The man threatens to
Speaker 1: tell mister Garris unless he can find him. Corey overhears this,
Speaker 1: and mister Machatto asks if she's seen the missing horse.
Speaker 1: She gets nervous, and you can tell Machado's actually very impressed. Joking,
Speaker 1: Mandalay probably just grew wings and flew away. Later that day,
Speaker 1: Corey is washing one of the horses when a talkative,
Speaker 1: smooth talker named mister Flanagan and a boy in a
Speaker 1: very theatrical cowboy outfit arrive. Flannagan leaves to see mister Machado,
Speaker 1: and the boy starts putting on a lasso show, clearly
Speaker 1: to impress Corey. In the stables, mister Flanagan tries to
Speaker 1: sell Machado on a new impressive jockey he's wrapped, named
Speaker 1: Bee Moody, but mister Michatdo's not interested. Mister Flanagan insists,
Speaker 1: mister Machatdo, look at what the boy can do, and
Speaker 1: when we realize they're talking about that weird lasso kid outside,
Speaker 1: that's where we're like, whoa. Even after seeing b Moody
Speaker 1: dance her out of the rope, mister Michado's still uninterested,
Speaker 1: suggesting they try the rodeo. Mister Flanagan wonders, you don't
Speaker 1: need a new jockey. You don't need a new jockey,
Speaker 1: or you can't afford one. Ooh, harsh. Mister Flanagan reminds
Speaker 1: him that it's been two years. If he doesn't get
Speaker 1: a win soon, he'll lose the barn. Knowing he's right,
Speaker 1: mister Macchado asked what kind of experience b Moody actually has.
Speaker 1: He was apparently born in the saddle and has experience
Speaker 1: in Florida at the Ringling Brothers barnman Bailey Circus. He's
Speaker 1: a circus rider, not a horse racer. Machado slightly offended,
Speaker 1: but Flanagan wants to know if they have a deal,
Speaker 1: and instead of taking you up on the offer, he
Speaker 1: threatens Flannagan with a giant needle. Back. At the racetrack,
Speaker 1: it's another big day and Lord says joined Corey to
Speaker 1: scout some of the day's entries. She likes one horse
Speaker 1: named Juicy Fruity because of his name. Corey tells her
Speaker 1: Abulita that Juicy Fruity is a terrible bet. He's worn out.
Speaker 1: Lord said, She'll still put two hundred toothpicks on Juicy Fruity?
Speaker 1: Did you get the toothpicks? Sing?
Speaker 2: It was just her bet, but at all it was
Speaker 2: one of my Sabrinas sees too of like what am
Speaker 2: I missing that I don't understand this toothpick sich jar
Speaker 2: of toothpicks, that this lady takes everywhere I.
Speaker 1: Know, I didn't. I didn't get it either. Corey wonders
Speaker 1: if Lord thinks horses can talk, which is quite a
Speaker 1: random question to ask out of nowhere, but without hesitation,
Speaker 1: Lord says, of course they do. Corey clarifies that she
Speaker 1: meant if horses could talk to humans in English. Lords
Speaker 1: wonders if she's trying to tell her Abbeli to something.
Speaker 1: Corey's about to reveal what happened the other night, but
Speaker 1: then reminds herself that horses do not talk. As it Confused,
Speaker 1: Corey is about to leave. Lord speaks up. They call it,
Speaker 1: and again I'm apologies. They call it la confianza de by,
Speaker 1: La confianza deca bios, the confidence of horses. Lord says
Speaker 1: that many generations of their family have had this special
Speaker 1: bond with horses, and this, to me is the story.
Speaker 1: And you don't need the talking horse. It's just a
Speaker 1: connection with an animal that is like this spiritual connection
Speaker 1: with it. You didn't need to have then voiceover of
Speaker 1: other things. Just do a beautiful horse story about this
Speaker 1: girl and this horse that have this connection that she
Speaker 1: learns to ride. That would have been a great movie,
Speaker 1: but I don't know, just got muddled. Yeah, it was
Speaker 1: really strange, but not Lord's because if they spoke to her,
Speaker 1: she wouldn't lose so many toothpicks. Who's she betting against?
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Lord says that horses only tell
Speaker 1: their secrets to worthy people like Corey's dad. He had
Speaker 1: the gift. Then the bugle is played, thank you, it's
Speaker 1: time for the races. Corey rushes off to her job.
Speaker 1: That was me, by the way, not an awesome bugle
Speaker 1: guy sitting in my hot booth of me. At the
Speaker 1: starting gate, the horses are lining up, and holy they're
Speaker 1: all talking again. One is repeating they think they can
Speaker 1: over and over and over again, while Hollywood shuffle is
Speaker 1: his confidence can be. There's really no connection between the
Speaker 1: voiceovers at all and what we're seeing. It's almost not
Speaker 1: needed in the movie at all. It just feels like
Speaker 1: the actors are rushing to all the words. It's really strange.
Speaker 1: Corey here's the horse is chatting again and asks Pete,
Speaker 1: the guy at the starting gate, if he hears anything.
Speaker 1: Pete laughs and assumes she's on LSD. Now in the bleachers,
Speaker 1: mister Garris tells Machado that every race needs a loser
Speaker 1: and that's why Machado was invited. These two clearly have
Speaker 1: some tension. Garris says he wants to buy his horse
Speaker 1: barn for extra stalls, but mister Machado assures Garris that
Speaker 1: his barn is not for sale. Garris adds yet, Garris
Speaker 1: remembers the old mister Machado and how he used to
Speaker 1: be dedicated to building a champion. What happened to that guy?
Speaker 1: Machado says he knows what it was, and Garris tells
Speaker 1: him to get over himself. Accidents happen, so obviously there's
Speaker 1: something there. Garris walks away, but not before inviting Machado
Speaker 1: to the winner circle later so he can show him around,
Speaker 1: since he'll never get down there himself. Ooh. After the
Speaker 1: race is back at the stables, Garris complains to his
Speaker 1: employee that he's dumping his horse, thunder Jam. He got
Speaker 1: stuck in the starting gate and is now embarrassed by
Speaker 1: him again, but mc affrey reminds him insurance doesn't work
Speaker 1: that way. While Garris steps into a pile of horse dung,
Speaker 1: which they make like it's the worst thing in the world.
Speaker 1: But apparently if that actually happens, it's good luck. If
Speaker 1: it happens by accident in a horse stable, it's good luck.
Speaker 1: Corey sees it and laughs. But now a frustrated Garrison
Speaker 1: insists this horse is out of his life. He doesn't
Speaker 1: care if he's shot, grind it into dog food, or
Speaker 1: sold for peanuts, and again it's just like gross. Seeing
Speaker 1: an opportunity, Corey jumps up. She'll take thunder Jam, and
Speaker 1: coincidentally she has a bag of peanuts. She hands on
Speaker 1: the bag and now officially Thunderjam is hers. And I
Speaker 1: want the record to show that per law, this could
Speaker 1: never happen. You can't just sell a horse for peanuts.
Speaker 1: There's been no paperwork, nothing. This is just not a thing.
Speaker 1: And I was just waiting for that moment in the
Speaker 1: movie later where the horse starts to win and the
Speaker 1: guy's like, it's my horse. You gave me peanuts. We
Speaker 1: didn't sign anything, like. I was waiting for that.
Speaker 2: Moment, and it just never came true. True.
Speaker 1: Still thought that was gonna come. Corey tells thunder Jam
Speaker 1: not to listen to the hater, He's not a loser.
Speaker 1: We cut to a diner, Little Gabby, Corey's brother runs
Speaker 1: in and tell his mom, Sonya, who's working as a waitress,
Speaker 1: that she needs to come out and see something. It's Corey.
Speaker 1: She bought a horse over at the stables. Corey is
Speaker 1: so excited, going on and on about how they're are
Speaker 1: dream team and she'll one day buy her mom the
Speaker 1: house she's always wanted. But right on cue, Sonya storms
Speaker 1: in and tells Corey to just give it back. Corey wine,
Speaker 1: she can't return thunder Jam, they'll kill him, but Sonya
Speaker 1: puts her foot down. She can barely take care of
Speaker 1: her family, let alone a horse. But which is It's true?
Speaker 2: Super so expensive?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2: That's what makes I think the whole joke of like
Speaker 2: when little girls say I want a pony for my birthday,
Speaker 2: and it's like, not only is the like initial cost
Speaker 2: very expensive, but like the upkeep, yeah, but Julians where
Speaker 2: you keep it and all that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so very very expensive. Hobby or sport, depending on
Speaker 1: how into it you are. But Corey promises there she'll
Speaker 1: take care of TJ. Mister Machatda then chimes in the
Speaker 1: horse can stay in stalls if it's okay with Sonya,
Speaker 1: but the answer is still no. Corey tries to explain
Speaker 1: that thunder Jam can pay his own way in race winnings,
Speaker 1: something mister Machatto says is actually possible. Sonya still isn't sold,
Speaker 1: but mister Machatda assures her even if thunder Jam doesn't win,
Speaker 1: he can still live at the barn. Sonya agrees for now,
Speaker 1: and Corey is elated. Now in Corey's bedroom before bed,
Speaker 1: Sonya reminds her daughter that having a horse does not
Speaker 1: make her a jockey, and if she catches Corey on
Speaker 1: any horse in a race, including thunder Jam, she's gonna
Speaker 1: give it away herself. The next morning, at the stables,
Speaker 1: Corey arrives to wish thunder Jam a good morning. Then
Speaker 1: Thunderjam responds, he yawns and says good morning back, completely
Speaker 1: shocking Corey. She stares deep into his eyes, what the
Speaker 1: hell is going on? She gets a jump scare when
Speaker 1: the horse jokingly says boo. Shej keeps talking to her
Speaker 1: and she can't believe what she's hearing. She realizes she
Speaker 1: probably has the gift like her dad and Thunderjam admits
Speaker 1: he stinks at racing, but she's ready to coach him.
Speaker 1: Just then, mister Machado walks in and Corey pretends she
Speaker 1: wasn't talking to a horse by letting him know she
Speaker 1: was not talking to a horse, which is definitely something
Speaker 1: someone who was talking to a horse would say. Thunderjam
Speaker 1: reveals to Corey that she's the only one that can
Speaker 1: hear him. He yells at mister Machado, hey, you goat face,
Speaker 1: but no reaction. Corey repeats goat face, mostly in confusion,
Speaker 1: and mister Machatdo is offended. Corey blames thunder Jam, and
Speaker 1: now mister Richatto's wonders if she's mentally ill. Corey admits
Speaker 1: she's not sure and says she's talking to Thunderjam on
Speaker 1: a workout, but mister Mitchatto says that won't be necessary.
Speaker 1: Thunder Jam will not be racing again. He's a plug,
Speaker 1: not a race horse, and I assume a plug means
Speaker 1: a non raceable horse. Thunder Jam scoffs plug is a
Speaker 1: little strong. Corey is confused, though mister Michatdo said thunder
Speaker 1: Jam could pay his way with his winnings, but he
Speaker 1: admits he only said that to her mom so that
Speaker 1: she could keep the horse. Corey still wants to at
Speaker 1: least exercise him, and mister Mitchatdo says that's fine, just
Speaker 1: be careful. Now. On the practice track, Corey is riding
Speaker 1: Thunderjam around the circle. He's pretty slow, and he eventually
Speaker 1: comes to a screeching halt when he's scared by an
Speaker 1: ugly dog and almost completely knocking Corey off the horse.
Speaker 1: Thunder Jam takes off running for the dog, and mister
Speaker 1: Mitchatda notices how fast the horse is actually running. He
Speaker 1: gets out his timer and is beyond impressed. Mister Michatdo
Speaker 1: tells Corey Thunderjam might be a race horse after all.
Speaker 1: Corey is so happy and wants to know when they
Speaker 1: can start training her, and her boss says, as soon
Speaker 1: as we find a jockey. Corey's not phazed. She tells
Speaker 1: him me, me, you're looking at her. Mister mcchatdow reminds
Speaker 1: Corey that she knows better than that, but Corey doesn't
Speaker 1: get it. If not me, then who? We quickly cut
Speaker 1: to the cowboy rodeo kid b Moody standing up while
Speaker 1: riding thunder Jam, dancing around like a main performer in
Speaker 1: the circus. Corey admits that Bee Moody is obviously performer,
Speaker 1: but he's not a jockey. Mister Michado swears as a
Speaker 1: jockey in there somewhere, he just needs some help. Once
Speaker 1: b Moody is done with the first ride, both Corey
Speaker 1: and TJ are a little bit annoyed. Mister Macchatdo tells
Speaker 1: the kid to not take it personally. Corey's just jealous,
Speaker 1: and just like that, B Moody gets the job because
Speaker 1: he's a man. He jumps up to celebrate, eventually hugging
Speaker 1: and kissing the horse, to which thunder Jam says, ew yuck.
Speaker 1: And it's like okay, I guess she's not allowed to ride,
Speaker 1: but okay, anyway, we're back at the stables. Mister Macchatdo
Speaker 1: looks through thunder Jam's file and notices his father won
Speaker 1: the Kentucky Derby, so he's got an impressive bloodline. Corey
Speaker 1: wonders what's wrong with TJ then, and mister Machado assumes
Speaker 1: that Garris random way too often. Good news is Machado's
Speaker 1: optimistic They can turn Thunderjam back into a good race horse,
Speaker 1: but he'll Corey's help even if she won't be the jockey.
Speaker 1: It's not ideal, but of course wants to help because
Speaker 1: it's her horse. So the team is set now on
Speaker 1: the practice track. They're working to get TJ into a gate.
Speaker 1: He's still pulling away and yelling to Corey he's scared.
Speaker 1: Eventually they do get him in a position with b
Speaker 1: Moody riding him. After multiple tries opening the gates, thunder
Speaker 1: Jam just goes nowhere. On the third try, Thunderjam throws
Speaker 1: be Moody into the dirt, announcing always wear a seatbelt.
Speaker 1: Mister Machado admits this is gonna take a while. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna stop real quick. So I'm just curious where was
Speaker 1: your head during this part of the film. Were you
Speaker 1: were you in at this park? Did you were you
Speaker 1: getting the movie?
Speaker 2: I was getting it. It just was kind of like,
Speaker 2: h like it was just kind of mediocre for me
Speaker 2: at this point. It wasn't it all. I didn't hate it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I completely I could understand. I agree with you about
Speaker 2: the like the horse stuff, even like when he went
Speaker 2: ill yack, like it was just kind of like it
Speaker 2: just a lot of it was just not necessary. So
Speaker 2: it's kind of at this point, just like we just
Speaker 2: hit a flat line.
Speaker 1: I can see watching I could completely see why this
Speaker 1: movie is was just forgettable. Yeah, that was the thing.
Speaker 1: It was like, I just I was like, I understand
Speaker 1: why nobody kind of right, and.
Speaker 2: It made sense to me when I looked and saw
Speaker 2: that it was made in the two thousands, Like it
Speaker 2: was made in two thousands. It was made before they
Speaker 2: found that perfect like remedy that like before the Banks.
Speaker 1: After the Breaks, and before the Cheetah Girls. That kind
Speaker 1: of that weird the two thousand and one kind of just.
Speaker 2: The they were kind of throwing, you know, things at
Speaker 2: a wall and seeing what's stuck, not necessarily had that
Speaker 2: perfect formula that they found later on.
Speaker 1: I agree with you one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We are now at the diner. Machado gets a cup
Speaker 1: of coffee from Sonia and she thanks him for keeping
Speaker 1: Corey's horse in the barn. Sonya insists on giving mister
Speaker 1: Machatdo coffee on the house and encourages him to stop
Speaker 1: working too much, maybe he'll meet somebody. Mister Machado encourages
Speaker 1: only to do the same, but she says it's different
Speaker 1: because she has a family to provide for mister Shatto
Speaker 1: has no excuse. He does start to hint that there
Speaker 1: is someone he has an interest in. Sonya wonders two
Speaker 1: legs or four? Machado laughs, it's very much a woman,
Speaker 1: and she is wonderful. He fell in love at first sight,
Speaker 1: with obvious tension now between them, So Sonya asks what's
Speaker 1: up with this wonderful woman?
Speaker 3: Then?
Speaker 1: And he gets flustered and rushes off to check on
Speaker 1: thunder Jam, a real missed connection at the stables. Corey's
Speaker 1: letting Thunderjam have it. What is his problem? She reminds
Speaker 1: her horse that the first rule of racing is that
Speaker 1: you can't win if you don't leave the starting gate.
Speaker 1: Thunder Jam reminds her you can't win with him period.
Speaker 1: He's too old. It's time to put him out to
Speaker 1: stud Corey changes her tune, Hey, maybe TJ's right. We
Speaker 1: quickly cut to a kid's party with balloons, train rides,
Speaker 1: and bouncy houses. Corey is walking TJ in a circle
Speaker 1: with a little kid in his back, but thunder Jam
Speaker 1: is disappointed. He expected more studs at this stud farm,
Speaker 1: but this isn't a stud farm. He can't even get
Speaker 1: into a stud farm. He's not a stud. She warns him,
Speaker 1: you better start trying or pony rides are his future.
Speaker 1: Back at Machado's, TJ gets into the starting gate and
Speaker 1: finally takes off perfectly. The team is thrilled, and then
Speaker 1: we get a little monto and normally I love a montage,
Speaker 1: but it's just a montage where TJ even outruns Hollywood Dream.
Speaker 1: The next day, at Corey's house, B Moody tries on
Speaker 1: different uniforms in front of lords mister Machado and Corey.
Speaker 1: While looking for his jockey look. He tries a dozen
Speaker 1: different vibes, from Midlife, Elvis to Matador. He eventually lands
Speaker 1: on a shiny red number with musical notes printed, and
Speaker 1: everyone loves it. Machado then visits Pete, the man in
Speaker 1: charge of setting races at the track, but he wasn't
Speaker 1: impressed with thunder Jam's past performances. Races are for race horses.
Speaker 1: Mister Machado promises that thunder Jam was just in the
Speaker 1: wrong races. Corey and B Moody got him ready. This
Speaker 1: does not impress Pete Moody as a circus rider, not
Speaker 1: a jockey, and now he has a kid as a trainer,
Speaker 1: Thunderjam is just a waste of time, but mister Machado
Speaker 1: won't take no for an answer. He points to a
Speaker 1: picture of a horse on Pete's wall. He trained that
Speaker 1: champ and when he first got him, he wouldn't cross
Speaker 1: the street. But eventually mister Machado got him to be
Speaker 1: the best horse the track has ever seen. He begs
Speaker 1: for a chance, and Pete says he'll see what he
Speaker 1: can do. Back on the track, Corey is yelling out
Speaker 1: advice to Moody, but he can't hear her. He's wearing headphones,
Speaker 1: listening in music. It helps him become one with the horse.
Speaker 1: It helps him to feel the rhythms, whether it's Pearl
Speaker 1: Jam or the Chili Peppers, who said whether it's Pearl
Speaker 1: Jam or the Chili Peppers, who he says, is a
Speaker 1: band who can quote unquote crank. We enter another montage
Speaker 1: now with Corey and b Moody trading Thunderjam over a
Speaker 1: motivational rock song. And this is where I loved, where
Speaker 1: he could talk about all these bands. It's like it's
Speaker 1: led Zeppelin, it's Pearl Jam, It's the greatest. And then
Speaker 1: they cut to the most generic like we're rock band
Speaker 1: singing in a battle horse.
Speaker 2: So it's like, okay, oh man, you couldn't be more right.
Speaker 2: It was like just the style of the music in
Speaker 2: the score changed. Yes, so many different times, Yes, so many.
Speaker 2: We had like a sort of ska band at one
Speaker 2: point when they were racing, like it just was.
Speaker 1: It was weird. It was it was strange musically.
Speaker 2: It was again like it was like they didn't know
Speaker 2: what kind of music needed to be in this specific movie.
Speaker 2: They didn't have the formula.
Speaker 1: Right, you're right.
Speaker 2: They tried to pull in what they've done with Brink,
Speaker 2: where it was more of that like ska band skater stuff.
Speaker 2: It's like, this is a worse movie and they could
Speaker 2: doesn't go.
Speaker 1: Here, don't don't actually reference real bands and say like
Speaker 1: it's Pearl Jam, it's Chili Peppers, and then do that
Speaker 1: just be like, oh, it's rock and roll. It's just
Speaker 1: the beat gets me going. So then when you just
Speaker 1: hear rock and roll music as opposed to somebody right, yes,
Speaker 1: I got you the best Christmas present in the world,
Speaker 1: and then it sucks. So it's like, okay, you're not
Speaker 1: helping me out, right, So then we enter another montage
Speaker 1: now with Corey and B Moody training thunder Jam over
Speaker 1: a motivational rock song. I'm putting motivational on quotes. Corey
Speaker 1: loves wearing the headphones now too. At the diner, Machado's
Speaker 1: back getting coffee. This guy drinks a lot of coffee
Speaker 1: because he's kind of trying to get a little bit
Speaker 1: of love and chatting with Sonya. When B. Moody and
Speaker 1: Corey come running in. They want to know when TJ
Speaker 1: will get a shot. The kids think the horse is ready,
Speaker 1: and their boss reveals this weekend and the number seven
Speaker 1: horse will be thunder jam Be. Moody thinks, ah Man,
Speaker 1: somebody stole their horse's name, but eventually he figures it out,
Speaker 1: and that might have been the funniest part of the movie.
Speaker 1: That night, Machado and Corey are scouting their opponent's tapes,
Speaker 1: learning their big moves. Garris apparently has a real stud
Speaker 1: with Cyclone and they need to keep TJ away from him.
Speaker 1: Corey wants to know the deal with mister Garris. Machado
Speaker 1: calls it a friendly rivalry, but it's obviously so much
Speaker 1: more than that. Machado admits he used to work for
Speaker 1: Garris when he was young, it was his chance to
Speaker 1: train a champ and they had a falling out over
Speaker 1: a colt. It was a great horse, but the morning
Speaker 1: of the race, Machado noticed an injured hoof, but since
Speaker 1: the vet missed it, Garris wanted to race him anyway,
Speaker 1: so Machado quit. He tried to warn the jockey, but
Speaker 1: it was too late. Near the end of the race,
Speaker 1: the horse went over the rail and crashed out. Corey
Speaker 1: realizes that was her dad. That was the race that
Speaker 1: killed him. Machado says, her dad was a good man
Speaker 1: and a great rider. He knew what to do and
Speaker 1: when to do it. He even used to say he
Speaker 1: knew what the horses were saying. Oh sound familiar. Sonya
Speaker 1: arrives with some food and coffee. She says, Machado did
Speaker 1: what he could do to stop the accident. It wasn't
Speaker 1: at all his fault. She hopes they find a way
Speaker 1: to win, and Corey begs her mom to come to
Speaker 1: the race, but she has too many memories there maybe
Speaker 1: another time. Now in the track, races have already begun
Speaker 1: and Corey is bringing b. Moody now in his uniform
Speaker 1: and TJ to the gate, while Machado waits, he exchanges words.
Speaker 1: As thunderjm enters the starting position, he tells Corey he
Speaker 1: feels perfect, almost like he has wings. Some of the
Speaker 1: other horses are already talking trash though with this cool
Speaker 1: guy Cyclone calling TJ thunder Jerk. Unfortunately, just so it
Speaker 1: looks like the horse is a bully too. He can't
Speaker 1: even avoid bullies in the horse world, No, Unfortunately, just
Speaker 1: before the race, TJ starts to have some doubts. In
Speaker 1: a fun plot point moment, as Corey is talking to
Speaker 1: the horse, b Moody is wearing his headphones so we
Speaker 1: can't really hear them. Corey gives her long shot horse
Speaker 1: some last minute words of encouragement and gets him to
Speaker 1: the gate. Right before the race, we see Abulita and
Speaker 1: Corey's brother in the crowd, and just before the starting flag,
Speaker 1: Corey has an idea. She places the headphones on TJ's
Speaker 1: ears and he's now blocking out his thoughts with some
Speaker 1: again generic kind of pop punk music, and it's worked.
Speaker 1: He's hot out of the gate and in the lead.
Speaker 1: TJ is finally showing off his pedigree in the end.
Speaker 1: Just before the finish line, Cyclone gives TJ a little
Speaker 1: push injuring him and stopping the horse dead in his tracks.
Speaker 1: Machado and Corey run out from the stands to help.
Speaker 1: The nurse gets there a few seconds later, and they
Speaker 1: all work on his calf back in the stalls. The
Speaker 1: nurse diagnosed him with just some tendon swelling. There's no
Speaker 1: real damage. All he's gonna need is some rest, but
Speaker 1: it was quite a scare. Corey decides to stay with him,
Speaker 1: and she ends up talking to the horse about everything.
Speaker 1: TJ thinks he let her down, but she insists he
Speaker 1: ran great. He liked the music. It suedhim and got
Speaker 1: him in the groove. But while they're chatting and laughing,
Speaker 1: Sonia walks in undetected and realizes Corey has the same
Speaker 1: gift as her husband. The next morning, at the stables,
Speaker 1: Corey is still working on TJ's calf when Machado arrives.
Speaker 1: B Moody comes running in with the newspaper thunder Jam
Speaker 1: is on the cover. You just love the name, huh,
Speaker 1: be Moody, Be Moody. That's all right, I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: it every time. Be Moody comes running in with his newspaper.
Speaker 1: Thunder Jam's on the cover. The sports page for his
Speaker 1: heroic attempt. So he made the cover because he didn't
Speaker 1: finish the race.
Speaker 2: I think yeah, I mean because phones No, I think
Speaker 2: it was because like he was like a new up
Speaker 2: and comer, you know how they would kind of talk
Speaker 2: about like, oh, someone knew has entered the race, you
Speaker 2: know kind of thing. Even though he didn't end up winning,
Speaker 2: he did really, really well and no one had even
Speaker 2: heard of this horse because he But.
Speaker 1: He didn't do well because he didn't finish, But.
Speaker 2: He didn't do well towards the end. At one point
Speaker 2: he was leading, leading most of the time.
Speaker 1: But he's still a DNF. He's still dropped anyway. But
Speaker 1: you're right, and now they have to rehab him for
Speaker 1: his next big race. Not only is he winning some qualifiers,
Speaker 1: but Corey's figure out exactly what music he likes. We
Speaker 1: get another montage now, with thunder Jam winning race after
Speaker 1: race and newspapers even calling him a possible Derby contender.
Speaker 1: The only person not celebrating is Garris. He should have
Speaker 1: gotten two bags of peanuts. Later, the track holds a
Speaker 1: little party for the teams and Sonya actually comes. She
Speaker 1: tells Machadou how great he's been with Corey, and it's
Speaker 1: so thankful for everything he's done for her. And in
Speaker 1: a moment of connection, he wonders if the woman he
Speaker 1: spoke about the other day, the one he's always liked,
Speaker 1: would want to dance with him. That's when she smiles.
Speaker 1: He turns around, grabs another woman and says, meet her.
Speaker 1: This is the woman I've been in love. I'm kidding,
Speaker 1: That's not what happens at all. They start to dance,
Speaker 1: and finally, this relationship between a woman and her dead
Speaker 1: husband's best friend is on. Eventually, the track manager takes
Speaker 1: the mic and talks about how incredible thunder Jam has
Speaker 1: been for business. He admits he was wrong about TJ
Speaker 1: and praises the team. He calls up the Sonora Downs owner,
Speaker 1: who announces he submitted TJ to a RaSE the gold
Speaker 1: Rush Derby, but the derby's in two days. Machato isn't
Speaker 1: sure he can do this, but when pressured with the opportunity,
Speaker 1: he reluctantly says yes. But Garris is furious. He says
Speaker 1: the gold Rush Derby is for five hundred thousand dollars
Speaker 1: and thunder Jam doesn't deserve it. Cyclone does, so turns
Speaker 1: out they're both gonna compete. Machado and Sonya go back
Speaker 1: to slow dancing with romantic mariachi music, while Corey and
Speaker 1: Be Moody talk about the derby. She says she's excited,
Speaker 1: but Be Moody wonders if Kay just doing it for you.
Speaker 1: I'm just doing it for you, wonders if she's mad
Speaker 1: and she can't race it herself. At first, she doesn't understand,
Speaker 1: but eventually realizes she wishes she had the shot. Be Moody,
Speaker 1: I'll just say it like that, tells her she's a
Speaker 1: great Bee Moody tells her she's a great rider and
Speaker 1: understands what it's like not to get a chance that
Speaker 1: you deserve. And then she reveals the big secret. She
Speaker 1: can talk to horses and they can talk to her.
Speaker 1: Weird reveal right away, But also, did you see did
Speaker 1: you think there was gonna be some kind of a
Speaker 1: romantic something or the other between these two or did
Speaker 1: you not think that was gonna happen between between.
Speaker 2: Bee mood Cory and Be Moody, Corey and R and
Speaker 2: Bee Moody. I kind of did, it seemed like, but
Speaker 2: it was like, at this point, we have so many
Speaker 2: offset input things. I was like sort of like relieved,
Speaker 2: relieve that there wasn't another thing I had to keep
Speaker 2: track of at this point, like I'm a little tapped
Speaker 2: out with like how many things I've got to?
Speaker 1: Like, I remember, He'll try to figure out what the
Speaker 1: Aboalita is betting on with toothpicks.
Speaker 2: Ye, she's still taking that jar of tooth picks around
Speaker 2: everywhere that I'm just like, I just I'm kind of
Speaker 2: glad that this isn't something I'm having to say attention
Speaker 2: too much.
Speaker 1: I agree. I couldn't agree with you more. At the
Speaker 1: same time, Evil Garris enters the stable and I was like,
Speaker 1: where's this. I was like, I'm gonna shut this off
Speaker 1: if he's gonna arm the horse and shut out seriously,
Speaker 1: Uh enters thissable to see TJ. He admits that maybe
Speaker 1: the horse is worth more than a bag of peanuts
Speaker 1: after all, but no one makes a fool of them.
Speaker 1: He ashes his cigar in the hay and leaves it
Speaker 1: quickly catches fire, and of course this isn't good. TJ
Speaker 1: starts freaking out and yelling, and Corey senses something is
Speaker 1: wrong and the barn starts to burn down. Thunder Jam
Speaker 1: doesn't know what to do. By the time Corey and
Speaker 1: b Moody get there, things have gotten pretty serious. Moody
Speaker 1: rushes to get TJ out while Corey tends to the
Speaker 1: other animals. Machado arrives and helps. Just as he sees
Speaker 1: the horse is literally on fire. His his blanket is
Speaker 1: on fire.
Speaker 2: Yes and so or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Moody grabs the grabs the blanket and badly burns
Speaker 1: his hands, and I was like, what the is this movie?
Speaker 1: At this point, I was like, what is actually happening?
Speaker 1: So he throws it off, but seriously exactly.
Speaker 2: It was like, oh he burned his hands, now he
Speaker 2: can't ride.
Speaker 1: I knew where they were going. He's like, god, it
Speaker 1: was It's like, now they're going to burn the horses alive?
Speaker 1: What is this crazy nightmare of a film? Oh? So yeah,
Speaker 1: he throws it off and seriously burns himself. Machada pulls
Speaker 1: Moody and TJ to safety, and the firefighters then tend
Speaker 1: to Moody. Paramedics have now fully wrapped Moody's hands. He
Speaker 1: has some very serious burns, and everyone realizes he won't
Speaker 1: be able to race. Sonya is adamant that they drop
Speaker 1: out of the derby. It's too late for a backup
Speaker 1: jockey unless Corey steps up. She begs her mom for
Speaker 1: the chance. Machado says it's up to her mom, who
Speaker 1: tells her she's not ready. It turns into a big fight,
Speaker 1: but the whole family knows that she was born for this.
Speaker 1: Corey rushes off to the empty racetrack just to think,
Speaker 1: and it's eventually joined by her mom Sonya knows how
Speaker 1: hard her daughter worked, but if she learned anything from
Speaker 1: her late husband's death, it's that nothing is ever really over.
Speaker 1: She sees a lot of him and Corey. She knows
Speaker 1: she has her father's gift and has tried to ignore it,
Speaker 1: but she can't ny more. She doesn't want to stand
Speaker 1: in the way of that gift. With that, she hands
Speaker 1: Corey her father's racing suit. He would want her to
Speaker 1: wear it in the derby. She has permission to ride,
Speaker 1: and now Machado and Moody are waiting for her in
Speaker 1: the barn. The gang is packed up and ready for
Speaker 1: the drive, ready to leave for the derby, and they
Speaker 1: make sure they have the disc men the one that
Speaker 1: they obviously put on to TJ's ears, so he can
Speaker 1: run the race. Corey and TJ talk too. He swears
Speaker 1: she has everything she needs to win and he'll take
Speaker 1: care of her. The whole family's going and even the
Speaker 1: townsfolk have come out to see them off. We get
Speaker 1: yet another drive, another driving montage, definitely the nineteenth montage.
Speaker 1: We don't need it specifically since this movie six minutes
Speaker 1: over ninety, but whatever. When they arrive, TJ immediately complains
Speaker 1: he needs a pit stop. He's had to pee the
Speaker 1: whole way. There's a lot of horse peeing jokes in
Speaker 1: this movie. Pee and poop, pee and poop in the lot.
Speaker 2: That's the thing to get little kids just cracking up.
Speaker 1: Pe It is God, how many peas and poops are
Speaker 1: we gonna rate this movie. In the lock her room,
Speaker 1: Corey tries on her dad's uniform and it looks great.
Speaker 1: And now the horses are getting into place. Everyone back
Speaker 1: home is watching on TV, and even the other horses
Speaker 1: are rounding each other up to watch. They don't want
Speaker 1: to miss it. But bad news at the track. It's
Speaker 1: been ruled that TJ cannot use his trademark headphones in
Speaker 1: the race. It's a serious setback, and Machotto is furious
Speaker 1: and guests who filed the original complaint. That's right, that's Garris.
Speaker 1: So now they must decide if it's still worth racing.
Speaker 1: Machado asks Corey, who in turn asks thunder Jam. The
Speaker 1: horse says they've worked too hard and they've come too
Speaker 1: far to quit. In turn, Corey announces, let's ride. They
Speaker 1: have some strategy talk about Cyclone and his dirty nature,
Speaker 1: and then they make their way to the starting gate.
Speaker 1: Machado and Garris have a little of their signature trash talk,
Speaker 1: but more than anything, everyone's ready for the big race.
Speaker 1: Cyclone tells Corey and Thunderjam they're going down. Just as
Speaker 1: the flag goes up and they are off. Thunderjam has
Speaker 1: some trouble out of the gate and now is in
Speaker 1: last place. Cyclone is a lead, and things look pretty
Speaker 1: dismal for TJ. But then be Moody has an idea.
Speaker 1: He rushes the discman to the PA announcer and blasts
Speaker 1: the song over the loudspeaker. The crowd goes wild, and
Speaker 1: Thunderjam feeds off the energy. The terrible song is the
Speaker 1: motivation he needed, and is a terrible song. He gains
Speaker 1: ground at record speed. Cyclone is finally in his sights.
Speaker 1: It's a barn burner, which is a horrible way to
Speaker 1: put it after what just happened. As they come down
Speaker 1: the stretch, TJ hones in on cyclone, right where he
Speaker 1: was injured last time, but instead the two horses go
Speaker 1: back and forth with the lead. As they passed the
Speaker 1: finish line, TJ and Corey remember all they have to
Speaker 1: do is believe in themselves. It's a photo finish, and
Speaker 1: Thunderjam wins with a final spurt. Everyone celebrates as it's
Speaker 1: announced that her father was champion and now she is two.
Speaker 1: The horses back home are thrilled, and so is their
Speaker 1: entire town. The family celebrates in the winter circle. As
Speaker 1: Machado is finally handed a trophy, Corey holds it over
Speaker 1: her head for one final picture. We cut to a
Speaker 1: new construction on a house, with the picture now hanging
Speaker 1: on a piece of wood. It seems they've made enough
Speaker 1: money to build that house that she's always wanted to
Speaker 1: get her mom. Which is quite a big horse race win,
Speaker 1: I guess, but hey, it's possible. They said it was
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars, right, but I mean you split
Speaker 1: that among the horses. But she probably won some good money,
Speaker 1: and they showed him winning races before, so she's been saving.
Speaker 1: Moody is blasting music over the stables, which is super annoying,
Speaker 1: and now he's a DJ using music to not only
Speaker 1: exercise thunder Jam, but all the horses together. And thankfully
Speaker 1: that's our film, Sabrina. Can we do some real reviews?
Speaker 2: Sure?
Speaker 1: Who?
Speaker 2: All right? Mine's the five star today.
Speaker 4: By Ali La La all la a l l a y.
Speaker 4: Before C Biscuit, there was TJ from Ready to Run.
Speaker 2: It had to be my favorite horse racing movie, but
Speaker 2: Disney Channel has stopped showing it a lot, so I
Speaker 2: haven't seen it in a while. Though the talking horse
Speaker 2: and listening to music while racing was not that creative.
Speaker 2: It has great music, pretty horses.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, I have the it's a five star review.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know about that. I know if I
Speaker 3: agree with you, laay Bal, I have the one star.
Speaker 3: It's from Brandy.
Speaker 1: I'm kidding, that's Brandy f and it reads dustly oh man.
Speaker 1: I am embarrassed for Jason d Ring for this movie.
Speaker 1: His character is super cheesy, like so many Disney movies.
Speaker 1: It starts off fine and then goes off the deep end.
Speaker 1: It can't just be a movie about a girl who
Speaker 1: wants to be a jockey and is especially talented at it.
Speaker 1: It has to turn into a talking horse movie. Also,
Speaker 1: even by two thousand and one standards, five dollars seems
Speaker 1: way too low for a day of working with horses.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of something nice to say about
Speaker 1: the movie One.
Speaker 2: Star, kind of right there with you, Brandy.
Speaker 1: I don't know about one star, but wow, I.
Speaker 2: Don't know about well when it's only five one to five?
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe I don't know. And now we come to
Speaker 1: Sabrina's favorite part of our program, which is the feature presentation,
Speaker 1: and we are back Sabrina to one we have played
Speaker 1: several times before. When it comes to world, this is
Speaker 1: hang four, an old favorite, our most repeated game. We've
Speaker 1: played with Teen Beach Movie and motocrossed. Really, any sport
Speaker 1: film where there are teams we don't understand will be
Speaker 1: given a word from horse racing with multiple choice answers,
Speaker 1: and we have to pick which is the correct definition.
Speaker 1: Why do we play with Teen Beach Movie? Oh? I
Speaker 1: guess it was surfing, that's right, But then why wouldn't
Speaker 1: we have played that with Johnny Tsunami because he didn't surf.
Speaker 1: Okay anyway, I'm off on a tangent. We have to
Speaker 1: pick the correct definition. Per the website Saratoga Racetrack dot com,
Speaker 1: that old chestnut three out of side educational, I too,
Speaker 1: So here we go. Number Who are we playing with today?
Speaker 1: By the way, it's me Tara, Hey, hi, producer. Here
Speaker 1: we go. By the way, I don't want to embarrass Tar,
Speaker 1: but this was her favorite dcom of all times. It's
Speaker 1: not okay, so here we go. Number one. Ac deocey
Speaker 1: is that a a term given to horses trading first
Speaker 1: place back and forth. B when one owner has a
Speaker 1: horse finish in both first and second place see uneven
Speaker 1: stirrups on a jockey or d used for when a
Speaker 1: horse wins my more than seven horse lengths. Ac deucy.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with B.
Speaker 1: I shouldn't agree with you, but I kind of do it.
Speaker 1: Does it? Does hurt?
Speaker 2: Agree with you because you're always wrong, not always, just
Speaker 2: most of the time.
Speaker 1: You're probably in the low eighties. But I am gonna
Speaker 1: agree with you. I'm gonna say B when finish both
Speaker 1: first and second place.
Speaker 2: Because AC doucy seems like one. T.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, you're both wrong. It's it's c even and
Speaker 1: even stirrups on a jockey. Okay. Number two hot walker,
Speaker 1: which I'm sorry sounds like a weird sex thing when
Speaker 1: a horse looks like, oh man, did you give you
Speaker 1: a hot walker? When C you don't even know what
Speaker 1: it is, it's still weird, right, am I wrong? Doesn't
Speaker 1: it doesn't it You don't even have to know what
Speaker 1: it is. It just sounds wrong. Exactly. Turn red A
Speaker 1: when a horse looks like a winner on their way
Speaker 1: to the starting gate. B a person who walks a
Speaker 1: horse after a race to cool them down. C a
Speaker 1: horse who has placed in more than five races in
Speaker 1: a row. Or D a stud who has impregnated more
Speaker 1: than two horses. I'll go first this time. I think
Speaker 1: it's B.
Speaker 2: I think it is.
Speaker 1: I think it's a person who walks a horse after
Speaker 1: a race to cool them down.
Speaker 2: The answer is B, Hey.
Speaker 1: We got one. There we go.
Speaker 2: Jensen's doing some real good Like this makes sense.
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Three Oh, it could also be a sex thing.
Speaker 1: Grab a order. Is that a injury to the back
Speaker 1: of a hoof caused by a horse stepping on itself.
Speaker 1: B when a horse came back to win in the
Speaker 1: final quarter mile see a horse that wins with twenty
Speaker 1: five to one or higher odds. Or D when a
Speaker 1: horse owner racks up twenty five wins in a year.
Speaker 1: You pick first. Huh C, I kind of agree with you.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna say C.
Speaker 2: The answer is a.
Speaker 1: Ah, an injury. That doesn't make any sense. You're not
Speaker 1: grabbing any other I'm changing all of these. Uh so
Speaker 1: we've already lost. Well, No, I guess if we get
Speaker 1: the next two right, we'll win. Number four. Blaze is
Speaker 1: it a referring to a hot start out of the gate.
Speaker 1: B When you correctly predict the first, second, and third
Speaker 1: third places in a bet see a large white vertical
Speaker 1: marking on a horse's face. Or D a jockey who
Speaker 1: is placed in five races in a row. Blaze I'll
Speaker 1: go first. I'm gonna say I don't think Jensen would
Speaker 1: put two a's in a row, so I'm gonna say it's.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it's when you correctly predict first, second,
Speaker 1: and third place in a bet. I'm gonna say it's
Speaker 1: b okay.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with A because it makes the most
Speaker 2: sense to me. The answer is C.
Speaker 1: None of these makes sense. That's a blaze. We suck
Speaker 1: at this. But also, whoever named these horse things sucks
Speaker 1: at this. They're stupid, stupid. Number five a maiden So
Speaker 1: we've already lost, so this doesn't matter. Number five. A
Speaker 1: maiden race is at A the first race for a horse.
Speaker 1: B A race filled with only horses who have not
Speaker 1: yet won, or ce sorry see a race with only
Speaker 1: female horse horses, or D a member of Iron Maiden
Speaker 1: in a foot race. I'm guessing it's not D. A
Speaker 1: maiden race, the first race for a horse.
Speaker 2: All of them makes sense.
Speaker 1: Right, A race filled with only horses who have not
Speaker 1: yet won, or a race with only female horses. You
Speaker 1: go first.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do the first race for a horse.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna say too. I'm gonna say A
Speaker 1: the first rate, we're gonna we're going down. We are
Speaker 1: holding hands after we hit the the we're on the
Speaker 1: Titanic and it's just flooding. Here we go. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say A two, hold on tight. It's b ah okay.
Speaker 2: A race, though, that makes sense.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, there we go. Well we suck,
Speaker 1: thank you very much. Can we do some Sabrina seas?
Speaker 2: Yes, there are not very much. We talked again about that.
Speaker 2: We talked about well, I just kind of talked a little.
Speaker 2: But whatever. The music part really was jarring for me.
Speaker 2: I did hear one of the songs. First of all,
Speaker 2: they had the same producer writer like I went on
Speaker 2: I am I DMB IMDb because I thought it was
Speaker 2: the voice sounded very similar to a guy named Rob
Speaker 2: Robbie Neville who worked on us. Yeah he yeah, yes,
Speaker 2: So he ended up being a big Disney Channel producer
Speaker 2: that did a lot of music, and a lot of
Speaker 2: the songs in a lot of the musicals are his songs,
Speaker 2: so I recognize his voice, but that wasn't him. It
Speaker 2: was a different guy, and he was in like most
Speaker 2: of the songs that are well really almost all of
Speaker 2: them that are listed on I D I m dB.
Speaker 2: But there was a song that was called ready to
Speaker 2: Run on this soundtrack that I didn't see on IMDb because.
Speaker 1: I, yeah, that was the first the first song I
Speaker 1: think that opens up.
Speaker 2: Right, which I would have thought they would have used
Speaker 2: a little bit more because it was obviously made for
Speaker 2: this movie. And then okay, I had questions about the
Speaker 2: rules of this situation with the talking horse, so she
Speaker 2: couldn't hear him for a while. Then all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: like you said, it happens like twenty thirty minutes into
Speaker 2: the movie and then it stops for a minute, like
Speaker 2: she's around him, there's conversations happening, and she can't hear
Speaker 2: him anymore. Then we obviously know their relationship grows and
Speaker 2: she can hear him. But then when did it turn
Speaker 2: into like being telepathic like she with the fire, There's
Speaker 2: no way where they were didn't seem like an equal
Speaker 2: amount of distance where she could hear him because she
Speaker 2: was the only one who heard the horse, right, all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, she's like there's something wrong. Yeah, I'm like,
Speaker 2: oh she can like.
Speaker 1: Now it's just telepathy. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So yeah, like it was weird. So they it kind
Speaker 2: of went. They did not do that again. Like another
Speaker 2: thing that I had a hard time doing. You have
Speaker 2: sindbad in this movie, and you didn't use him really
Speaker 2: at all. He's there, he's like not even a B character,
Speaker 2: He's like a.
Speaker 1: C or D. I bet you he recorded for like
Speaker 1: an hour for this.
Speaker 2: Entirea he had just literally maybe like a half of
Speaker 2: a page or maybe two pages at max, which was
Speaker 2: really odd to me because because I also thought when
Speaker 2: I saw him on the credits in the beginning, and
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, cool, thinking it was gonna be
Speaker 2: kind of a comedy, and it really wasn't a comedy
Speaker 2: at all. It flipped into like some of the stuff
Speaker 2: with the horse voiceover work was signed out, some of
Speaker 2: the comedic aspect, but not enough to be considered super funny.
Speaker 2: It was weird. And then my biggest thing with this movie,
Speaker 2: and this is probably gonna be weird, I just felt
Speaker 2: like it was it involved too many adults.
Speaker 1: Oh, I can see that for a for a.
Speaker 2: D com, we are so used to seeing the kids
Speaker 2: really run and drive the storytelling of this, and honestly,
Speaker 2: her mom kind of did the most of the like
Speaker 2: story telling of what's happening and Machado, and then there's
Speaker 2: so many adults that the guy that sold Machado on
Speaker 2: getting this rodeo course circus guy seemed so similar. When
Speaker 2: the guy then I put him, I think I thought
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, he's the one that sold him
Speaker 2: on getting this writ and I'm like, oh, wait, are
Speaker 2: they different?
Speaker 1: Was it be twins?
Speaker 2: They could have been. There was just that was how
Speaker 2: many adults there were in this movie that like they
Speaker 2: were starting to just get muffled, like just kind of
Speaker 2: like didn't really understand who the characters were. That's that's
Speaker 2: kind of just my opinion on that. And then another
Speaker 2: thing that I saw and this was actually reviewing when
Speaker 2: I was on IMDb, and then I saw it on
Speaker 2: Mikayla's notes that she senses So you mentioned it a
Speaker 2: little bit. I thought you were going to get into
Speaker 2: it where she buys the horse for a thing of peanuts. Well,
Speaker 2: there's actually like a law that a miner can't buy
Speaker 2: a horse in general. So even if she had offered
Speaker 2: him here's five dollars, you can't, like her mom would
Speaker 2: have had the opportunity to get the money back and
Speaker 2: give it back because it's like against the law for
Speaker 2: a miner to actually buy a horse, which I thought
Speaker 2: was really interesting that miners can't buy horses. Like by
Speaker 2: the time you're like fifteen sixteen, you're really into the sport,
Speaker 2: but you can't own your own horse yet. That was interesting.
Speaker 1: To own your own car why can't you own your
Speaker 1: own horse?
Speaker 2: That's what I mean. That's what I mean, And that's it.
Speaker 2: I already said the thing about Seabiscuit, but that's it.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, there we go. Now we get to the
Speaker 1: fun part of actually scoring our film, rating our film.
Speaker 1: For this we're going to do one, yeah, one out
Speaker 1: of ten. Okay, and ten's going to be the biggest
Speaker 1: this time. Okay, okay. So our options this week are
Speaker 1: one out of ten, horse girls one out of ten,
Speaker 1: barely talking horses, underwear helmets.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we did.
Speaker 1: We didn't even get into that. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: touch that one. It says toothpicks, but I'm going to
Speaker 1: change it to undecipherable toothpicked bedding, nice headstones one out
Speaker 1: of ten, fume drugs one at a ten, horse confidence,
Speaker 1: piles of horse dung one out of ten, chili pepper
Speaker 1: cranks one out of ten, thunder jerks, or I'm going
Speaker 1: to add one out of ten. She gave me a
Speaker 1: hot walkers. What would you like to do this week, Sabrina?
Speaker 1: Is that your pick? Oh? My god, she picked it,
Speaker 1: she did.
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to do peas and poops, but.
Speaker 1: She gave me, a hot walker is the way to go.
Speaker 1: I think, do I go first this time? I can't remember?
Speaker 2: Yes I did?
Speaker 1: I think so, so I go first this time?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Okay, Ah, here's the thing about this movie. It's it's fine.
Speaker 2: It's fine.
Speaker 1: It's completely it is fine. It's fine. It is completely
Speaker 1: and totally forgettable. It doesn't know what it is. Like
Speaker 1: you said, it's a drama, but they got all of
Speaker 1: these comedy actors to voice horses kind of because there
Speaker 1: don't really it's not Doctor Doolittle where the horses are funny,
Speaker 1: and it's kind of like you said, Lion King, like
Speaker 1: you get Timon and Pumba coming in who are really funny,
Speaker 1: and it's it's not that none of the horses really
Speaker 1: have any magical personalities that are worthy of anything. It
Speaker 1: seemed like it was tacked on, like it should have
Speaker 1: just been a nice Disney movie about a girl who
Speaker 1: has this connection with a horse and and wants to
Speaker 1: follow in her father's footsteps. I mean that that's a
Speaker 1: dcom that writes itself. So it's like, why then add
Speaker 1: this thing to this movie. I find it dragged at
Speaker 1: quite a few places. Yeah, it just didn't know what
Speaker 1: it was at the same time, it was fine. This movie,
Speaker 1: to me is absolutely the perfect five she gave me
Speaker 1: Hot Walkers, cause it's like it's it's it's not good.
Speaker 1: It's not bad. The acting is fine. The story doesn't
Speaker 1: make a whole lot of sense. I don't like stuff
Speaker 1: about animals being hurt. I easily could have made this
Speaker 1: a three just based on that. But it's fine. It's
Speaker 1: I'm gonna the second this movie ended and this podcast
Speaker 1: is over, I'm not gonna remember a thing about this movie. No,
Speaker 1: And that's where that's where I am. So that's my
Speaker 1: score is five. How about you?
Speaker 2: I am right there with you. I just feel like
Speaker 2: this movie, like you said, it's unforgettable, or it's not unforgettable,
Speaker 2: that this movie is forgettable. And again it makes me
Speaker 2: remember too that this was the time on the channel
Speaker 2: that these d coms were not like what they're doing
Speaker 2: with d coms now, where they're coming out like every
Speaker 2: couple of months maybe or six months between now and
Speaker 2: the next one. This is the time where the dcoms
Speaker 2: were coming out on like the first Friday of the month.
Speaker 2: They were coming out every thirty days, so they weren't
Speaker 2: necessarily I guess maybe not putting as much effort into
Speaker 2: making these, you know what I mean? They were again
Speaker 2: it's the time of the the era of the channel
Speaker 2: that they were throwing against the wall seeing what stuck.
Speaker 2: If it did, great, If not, it's okay because we've
Speaker 2: got an next one coming out last month anyway. So yeah,
Speaker 2: so that's what I agree with you. I'm gonna match
Speaker 2: your five. She gave me hot walkers, she gave me
Speaker 2: hot logger, she gave me hot logger or piece and poops. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna imagine. And that's kind of it.
Speaker 1: Again.
Speaker 2: I didn't hate it. I just didn't really like love it,
Speaker 2: you know. And it was fine, you know, it didn't
Speaker 2: put me in as bad of a mood. Is the
Speaker 2: class one?
Speaker 1: So I feel like that to step up right exactly
Speaker 1: what was the last one? Again? I can remember the story,
Speaker 1: but it was oh starstruck. Yeah, I can coindly remember
Speaker 1: the story. I couldn't remember the name. Yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I agree, There you go.
Speaker 2: All right, that's it.
Speaker 1: Five? There we go? Two five's U two fives? She
Speaker 1: gave me? Do not equal attend? Our next movie is
Speaker 1: a twenty fifteen entry. We're going kind of Newish. It's
Speaker 1: the adventure fantasy dcom about science, starring a former co
Speaker 1: star of mine who actually just ran into like a
