Speaker 1: So not to give too much away about today's wonderful
Speaker 1: film that we're going to be talking about, but I
Speaker 1: just wanted to start with were you at all jarred
Speaker 1: by how different a newer dcom is from one of
Speaker 1: the older dcoms? Yes?
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean in what we've seen so far that
Speaker 2: Disney somewhat touches but not a ton. We're there out
Speaker 2: in the open, Yeah, and totally comfortable, like it wasn't
Speaker 2: It wasn't uncomfortable.
Speaker 3: It just was like, wow, this we have like evolved.
Speaker 2: Yes, as a one, that's a great word for evolved
Speaker 2: Disney in today's society of things that kids are going
Speaker 2: through right now.
Speaker 1: It's also us brighter and the just it looks better.
Speaker 1: I know, it's a simple thing to say that it
Speaker 1: looks better, it sounds better, but it's you know, it
Speaker 1: just shows the evolution. You watch a sitcom today and
Speaker 1: it looks better than it does if you're watching a
Speaker 1: sitcom from even the nineties. But when we're coming off
Speaker 1: of Dad Napped to today's movie, it was like the
Speaker 1: most jarring thing. That was like going from a like
Speaker 1: a hello, my baby, hello my honey, to watching Star
Speaker 1: Wars for the first time. It's crazy. So 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 were smart,
Speaker 1: the waves, tsunamis and the high School's musical.
Speaker 3: I'm Wilford Dell and I'm Sabrina Bryan.
Speaker 1: So today we're getting down on the wheels of steel
Speaker 1: because it's time for our newest d com or should
Speaker 1: I say DJ comm Huh? Should I? I probably shouldn't
Speaker 1: our most curry? Yeah, no, I won't. It's twenty twenty
Speaker 1: one's Spin. When announced in March of twenty twenty, Spin
Speaker 1: was first conceived to air on Disney Plus, but just
Speaker 1: five months later it became prime for Magical Rewind when
Speaker 1: it was repositioned as a Disney Channel original movie. It
Speaker 1: was shifted and redeveloped premiere traditionally on cable, with only
Speaker 1: one writer replaced from the original announcement. Okay, Sabrina, So
Speaker 1: we've never really delved into this before, and now we're
Speaker 1: getting into kind of the nitty gritty because we've talking
Speaker 1: about evolution, been looking at the evolution of what we
Speaker 1: call the dcom. But there was like Disney Channel original movies,
Speaker 1: Disney Movies, Wonderful World of Disney Movies, Zoog movies. We've
Speaker 1: seen that. There was a whole bunch of these. So
Speaker 1: do you think we can yet discern the differences between
Speaker 1: what would be a D com and a Disney Plus
Speaker 1: original movie. I don't think we have that eye yet.
Speaker 3: I don't think so.
Speaker 2: I honestly think it's it was more about marketing than
Speaker 2: it was about was on the channel versus D like
Speaker 2: Disney Plus.
Speaker 3: I think it's where how kids nowadays watched TV.
Speaker 2: Yeah, versus it actually about like where the location of
Speaker 2: it is.
Speaker 3: It's more about this is just how they watched TV.
Speaker 1: And it was funny. I was talking to somebody about
Speaker 1: that exact same thing, about watching a new sitcom on
Speaker 1: something like ABC versus when it streams and is an
Speaker 1: actress from one of the new sitcoms that's on. Who said, Oh,
Speaker 1: every promo we do, every press we do, that we
Speaker 1: have to end with and it's airing tomorrow and Hulu
Speaker 1: tomorrow and Hulu because it's like that's how everybody watches
Speaker 1: theirs stuff.
Speaker 2: I think that the only that Monroe has. Let's put
Speaker 2: it this way, She has a bunch of shows on
Speaker 2: the Disney Channel that I like Punstruction, Alice Bakery. But
Speaker 2: I record all of those and just she pops them on.
Speaker 2: She doesn't sit down whenever it airs. That's never how
Speaker 2: it was, not how it works, Playhouse, all of that
Speaker 2: stuff like those are all just recorded, and I know,
Speaker 2: I kind of like, man, it is a shame.
Speaker 3: That's just how it is, you know. And it's also
Speaker 3: like easier to access on my phone or on an
Speaker 3: iPad for her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, then you know if if we're sitting at home,
Speaker 2: you know, because then it also is nice because we
Speaker 2: can watch what we want to watch. She can watch
Speaker 2: which of course watch, yeah, but not have to be
Speaker 2: away from us. She could still be like on the couch.
Speaker 1: Totally different. Anyway, Spin debut on the channel almost exactly
Speaker 1: one year later, after all this, August thirteenth, twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: and it became the very first dcom to feature an
Speaker 1: Indian American in the lead role, and only one other
Speaker 1: dcom at all centered around Indian culture. So do you
Speaker 1: know what what movie that was?
Speaker 2: I do will Sheeta Girls, One World and living in
Speaker 2: this movie for all of the just oh it was.
Speaker 1: I can't wait, can't wait, I can't wait all I
Speaker 1: can't wait either. This aired as part of Disney Channels
Speaker 1: Friday the thirteenth is Fun Lucky. I didn't make that up.
Speaker 1: Friday the thirteenth is Fun Lucky night of Premieres, which
Speaker 1: might just be the least catchy promotion name I've ever
Speaker 1: heard of. It's like if they said musty TV is
Speaker 1: make sure you watch this television. So true it is,
Speaker 1: God It's bad. It showed immediately after the channel premiere
Speaker 1: of Toy Story four and right before Descendants, the Royal
Speaker 1: Wedding and disney He's Magic Bakeoff, So quite a huge
Speaker 1: night of entertainment. Yeah, the film racked in. Now here's
Speaker 1: where it gets strange, because you know, we talk about
Speaker 1: numbers every week, and we're saying this was a big one.
Speaker 1: It had five million viewers, that had four million viewers
Speaker 1: then come streaming. So this film racked in five hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty five thousand viewers for its premiere. And this, unfortunately,
Speaker 1: was another first. This was the first decom ever to
Speaker 1: score less than a million viewers in its first airing.
Speaker 1: And this, my friends, is just the new norm with
Speaker 1: streaming services. Kids don't watch traditional TV, so we just
Speaker 1: talked about it. That's neither of us like it, but
Speaker 1: that's the new way it is. It's just absolutely the
Speaker 1: new normal. Then, even after the scheduling changes, it was
Speaker 1: finally added to Disney Plus and November of twenty twenty
Speaker 1: one as part of Disney Plus Day and annual celebration
Speaker 1: and content dump for the anniversary of the streaming services launch.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any mail service on that day.
Speaker 1: I know that I like to celebrate that day alone.
Speaker 1: It's just how I observe. It's a mine.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what a great occasion I do.
Speaker 1: I love it. I get my Disney Plus candles and
Speaker 1: I'm very happy. Spin was the first d com to
Speaker 1: be filmed during the pandemic. Yes, it was shot in well, Toronto, Canada,
Speaker 1: so there you go. It gives us a small Utah
Speaker 1: break from October fifth, twenty twenty to November twentieth, twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: so it was right in the mix of an absolutely
Speaker 1: insane time in the world. Very little was filming and
Speaker 1: as you can figure out by the dates, viewers that
Speaker 1: ended up waiting three hundred and seventy eight days to
Speaker 1: see the finished product. That is the longest wait ever
Speaker 1: between new dcoms oh Man.
Speaker 3: That feels like five years.
Speaker 1: Doesn't it a year? Well it is, and in with
Speaker 1: the short attention spans that social media has given us,
Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy eight days is nine million years
Speaker 1: and worth noting that Spin was released in India on
Speaker 1: Disney Plus hot Star, which is their version of the
Speaker 1: studio subscription service, and Disney International HD, their version of
Speaker 1: the channel, on August fifteenth, twenty twenty one Indian Independence Day. Now,
Speaker 1: obviously this was a very big deal for their country,
Speaker 1: so there was a lot of promotion and fanfare to
Speaker 1: coincide with the celebration. Really cool. The soundtrack to Spin,
Speaker 1: which is an important element to the movie about DJing
Speaker 1: and EDM, was released two weeks before the movie aired
Speaker 1: and features all the music you hear in the film.
Speaker 1: All the songs are written, produced, and performed by Marcus Devrees,
Speaker 1: who is a Grammy winner whose previous work includes movies
Speaker 1: like Coda, Kick Ass, and Sucker Punch. And someone chime
Speaker 1: in if I'm wrong here, but I'm going to assume
Speaker 1: that this was Disney's first foray into music that you
Speaker 1: might hear at a rave Is that right? I mean,
Speaker 1: have we heard other music in Disney? No?
Speaker 3: I guess you're right. I guess a part of this
Speaker 3: this genre.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is probably the first that we've seen at
Speaker 2: least absolutely.
Speaker 3: You know, I would assume there was more.
Speaker 1: But you've got a big musical background. Have you ever
Speaker 1: tried to DJ?
Speaker 3: I haven't you know it?
Speaker 2: The whole time I was going, how come I haven't
Speaker 2: tried this before?
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: The closest I got to it was during our tours.
Speaker 2: We would have musical like dance breaks, Keeley and I
Speaker 2: and Adrian would be working with the producer and I
Speaker 2: would say, like, I want to hear like a like
Speaker 2: glass crashing on the ground, sound like you know, you know,
Speaker 2: and like doing like certain accents and audio effects and
Speaker 2: things like that. So we would do that, but it
Speaker 2: was not like with the spinning. I have to have
Speaker 2: a girlfriend Brie who does it like all the time.
Speaker 3: And then my girlfriend Asia is really like she gets
Speaker 3: paid and to track. She loves it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I remember her first like playing with it,
Speaker 2: and I just never had much interest in actually doing it.
Speaker 1: Is it sad that?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: The only DJ I know is DJ pauly D from
Speaker 1: Jersey Shore. Is that that. I know, it's just not
Speaker 1: my thing. It's not my kind of music, but hey,
Speaker 1: it was impressive also as always, because there's technically dancing
Speaker 1: in this movie, we have to ask you, you know,
Speaker 1: a woman with now your own line of dance pants
Speaker 1: and dance tops, which is called what again? Sobri official,
Speaker 1: Sobri official? How is the dancing in the movie? You know?
Speaker 2: It took me back and we'll get there, because it
Speaker 2: was a lot of it was and I don't remember
Speaker 2: the movie movements. But what I loved about learning the
Speaker 2: movements from India is a lot of it tells stories
Speaker 2: like what they're doing. They do things like with their
Speaker 2: eyes and it's talking about looking or you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, they have their.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they had yes clear. It was almost like a
Speaker 1: language onto itself.
Speaker 2: The dancing, it absolutely is and I got to learn
Speaker 2: like quite a bit about it through our movie on
Speaker 2: the third one.
Speaker 3: And so I liked it. It was just enough.
Speaker 2: I don't think it needed any more than what we got.
Speaker 2: I think it was like just enough and it was
Speaker 2: more so about the actual music and storytelling of the music.
Speaker 1: Okay, I did like it. I'm going to talk to
Speaker 1: you about that later, because I don't necessarily agree. I think,
Speaker 1: I honestly think it could have used a little more
Speaker 1: of the dance stuff. But really get into that away
Speaker 1: all right now. Spin may have been a quote unquote
Speaker 1: failure when it came to the Nielsen ratings, but critically
Speaker 1: it fared much better. Amy, Okay, now I just want
Speaker 1: to preface everything I'm going to say. In this episode.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of names that are very difficult to pronounce.
Speaker 1: Uh So I I apologize right off the bat for
Speaker 1: my pronunciations for some of these names. But Amy, a
Speaker 1: Monteglio of Paste, said it really conveys the thrills of
Speaker 1: a first crush or holding someone's hand for the first time,
Speaker 1: without making the entire movie just about romance, which she liked,
Speaker 1: and I don't disagree with that. Yeah, and it got
Speaker 1: a positive review from Mashable, calling it revolutionary and delightful
Speaker 1: in the dcom movie Library. And this has an eighty
Speaker 1: percent score on Rotten Tomatoes. It also received the Reframe Stamp,
Speaker 1: which is an award given by the Gender Equality Coalition.
Speaker 1: Reframe an IMDb pro for films or TV projects that
Speaker 1: are proven to have gender balancing hiring, especially women of color,
Speaker 1: in four of the right key roles of production, not
Speaker 1: a common distinction. Unfortunately, it was also nominated for two
Speaker 1: Children and Family Emmy Awards, Outstanding Fiction Special and Outstanding Directing.
Speaker 1: All right, we always ask what did you know about
Speaker 1: Spin before it came to our watch?
Speaker 2: Nothing when we released, or when we talked about this
Speaker 2: last time with it upcoming, and you and I hadn't
Speaker 2: seen this yet. I had never seen it. I was
Speaker 2: thinking you got it in my head saying this was
Speaker 2: gonna be like a workout space class, like how are
Speaker 2: they gonna do this?
Speaker 3: Or it's gonna be like bicycling.
Speaker 2: I really had no idea until obviously when you pop
Speaker 2: it up on Disney Plus you see the head picture.
Speaker 3: And you're going, oh, oh, this is gonna.
Speaker 2: Be I'm excited to see this. This is so different
Speaker 2: than what we've seen at all. We've not seen and
Speaker 2: we've seen obviously movies about music, but not like not
Speaker 2: to I was really.
Speaker 3: Looking forward to it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what about you? Will you know? I always say no,
Speaker 1: And I didn't know the title, but I did know
Speaker 1: this movie. You don't know how. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I read the script or it was talked about in
Speaker 1: a couple of meetings I had at Disney. But as
Speaker 1: the movie started, I was like, I know this movie.
Speaker 1: So I hadn't seen it, but I've either read the
Speaker 1: script or been or talked to producers about this specific
Speaker 1: film because I knew you always going from zero to one, right, exactly, exactly,
Speaker 1: zero to one out.
Speaker 2: Of ten out of ten thousand episodes you were once
Speaker 2: wild though, kind.
Speaker 1: Of heard of this movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's cool that you kind of maybe read the script.
Speaker 1: That's pretty I think I think that's what it was,
Speaker 1: but I can't remember. But either, Okay, why don't we
Speaker 1: get into our synopsis? Fifteen year old Rhya Kumar, who
Speaker 1: lives with her tight knit, multi generational family, realizes her
Speaker 1: true passion is to become an ed m DJ Sabrina
Speaker 1: Early thoughts, What did you think of the movie?
Speaker 3: Again, I really didn't know much how to to do this.
Speaker 3: As soon as it.
Speaker 2: Starts and I'm seeing the Indian influenced of their culture
Speaker 2: in it, I am like, yes, yep, I'm in, and
Speaker 2: I'm so old, I'm in.
Speaker 3: I'm on it.
Speaker 2: This little girl comes on camera and to me, she's
Speaker 2: one of the most stunning little girls.
Speaker 3: I'm saying because.
Speaker 2: She's I know, she's just younger than me. She's obviously
Speaker 2: not a girl, but she's great. Stunning, yeah, stunning young woman.
Speaker 1: And a star was I mean just clearly a star.
Speaker 2: Clearly From the very first ep or very first scene
Speaker 2: in this movie, it was just so good and I
Speaker 2: was ready to go. And I really didn't know what
Speaker 2: to think. How they were going to do this. I
Speaker 2: couldn't imagine it, and it was great.
Speaker 3: Right from the start. That was my early thoughts. I
Speaker 3: was like, I'm gonna love this.
Speaker 1: I completely and totally agree with you. It was one
Speaker 1: of those things. I think a lot of it helps
Speaker 1: that I'm coming right off a Dad Napped Yes, which
Speaker 1: talk about a different vibe for a Disney movie. This
Speaker 1: felt modern, it felt big budget, it felt real, it
Speaker 1: felt the acting was incredible, the cast was wonderful. None
Speaker 1: of it felt forced. It was I fully enjoyed this movie.
Speaker 1: I again music, so I was like, I don't know
Speaker 1: how Manna feel loved it, and I disagree. I would
Speaker 1: love to have seen a little bit more of the
Speaker 1: Bollywood put into the film.
Speaker 3: Two, I thought the rolling credits we were going to
Speaker 3: get something.
Speaker 1: Like one or two would have been great itself.
Speaker 3: In the movie itself, I didn't think it needed it.
Speaker 3: I just felt like I would like to see the
Speaker 3: ball yes, but the Bollywood that's like an end thing,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: I know, I know a lot.
Speaker 2: What I do want to say is and I know
Speaker 2: we're gonna about to get to this. But I really
Speaker 2: loved that it was an Indian filmmaker as the director too,
Speaker 2: because I think that is absolutely really big and I
Speaker 2: thought that was really very cool for the Disney Channel.
Speaker 1: I think so too. And that's a perfect segue here
Speaker 1: because Spin was directed by and again I'm apologizing if
Speaker 1: I'm if I'm butchering these names, but was directed by
Speaker 1: Menjari mac Johnny. I think is how you say it.
Speaker 1: The Indian filmmaker and daughter of a veteran Bollywood actor
Speaker 1: is based in La and debuted with the Netflix movie
Speaker 1: Skater Girl in twenty twenty one, and that had a
Speaker 1: very similar plot following a teenage girl who finds her
Speaker 1: identity through skateboarding. Spin was her second feature, but she's
Speaker 1: worked in his assistant director on Wait to Hear This
Speaker 1: This List on some huge releases like Wonder Woman, Mission Impossible,
Speaker 1: Ghost Protocol, and The Dark Night Rises when they were
Speaker 1: all shot in India. Wow Wow, pretty cool. Or the
Speaker 1: list of movies Will Loves and the Movie is filled
Speaker 1: with mostly new faces for Disney, with only two real exceptions,
Speaker 1: and the most recognizable is Anna Cathcart. This was actually
Speaker 1: Anna's third d com as You've seen her before in
Speaker 1: Descendance two and three as Dizzy Tremaine, Cinderella's daughter. She
Speaker 1: also appeared in the movie To All the Boys I've
Speaker 1: Loved Before and the TV show and subsequent movies for
Speaker 1: Odd Squad. She can currently be seen on the Netflix
Speaker 1: show Exo Kitty I Love.
Speaker 4: It's the big character Kitty again.
Speaker 1: I'm saying words. I have no idea what any of
Speaker 1: these things are. It's not mash, I don't get it.
Speaker 1: And Avontka stars in Spin as Ria, the girl who
Speaker 1: just came on the screen and Stole it. Born in
Speaker 1: the San Francisco area, she began her career starring in
Speaker 1: Telugu cinema, eventually transitioning to American projects, where Spin was
Speaker 1: her first ever lead role. She since starred in Netflix
Speaker 1: Senior Year and appeared in the comedy musical version of
Speaker 1: Mean Girls, the horror movie Taro, and voices Kamala on
Speaker 1: the Disney animated series Mira Royal Detective and although she's
Speaker 1: currently a student at Columbia University, so she's also really smart.
Speaker 1: Set to graduate in twenty twenty seven, she will star
Speaker 1: in the upcoming Disney Plus series A Crown of Wishes
Speaker 1: and a thriller theatrical release called Ballerina Overdrive with Matti Ziegler. Yes,
Speaker 1: actually Columbia University. They only accepted one person who was
Speaker 1: not very smart. It didn't work out. His name was
Speaker 1: ryd Or Strong. Abe Dial plays Her father. Arvind Diel,
Speaker 1: is an award winning Indian actor known for his work
Speaker 1: in Hindi films like Manorama, Six Feet Under and a
Speaker 1: massive Bollywood blockbuster called Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. And again,
Speaker 1: I apologize to everybody out there if I'm mispronouncing these words.
Speaker 1: Mira Syle is her grandmother. Asha Sile is an English comedian, writer, singer,
Speaker 1: journalist and actress. She does it all. My wife loves
Speaker 1: British stuff, so I've seen her a thousand times after
Speaker 1: her breakout as one of the creators of the BBC's
Speaker 1: sketch comedy show Goodness Gracious Me and her role in
Speaker 1: the movie The Kumars at number forty two. She's since
Speaker 1: become one of the UK's best known Asian creators and
Speaker 1: was awarded a BAFTA Fellowship, which is its highest accolade,
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. The other pass employee of Disney
Speaker 1: is arian Simhardri, who played Rohan. He's really worked at
Speaker 1: the studio an awful lot. You might know him as
Speaker 1: Grover Underwood and the Percy Jackson The Olympians TV show,
Speaker 1: which is actually a great TV show. He also appeared
Speaker 1: in the Disney Plus twenty twenty two remake of Cheaper
Speaker 1: by the Dozen, another movie on the streamer called Trevor
Speaker 1: the Musical, the twenty twenty Disney channel improvs Dotcom Just
Speaker 1: roll with It, and he's also a voice on Mirror
Speaker 1: Royal Detective. Yikes, this kid is a very good thing going.
Speaker 1: Just stay with it. Don't make Disney mad because you
Speaker 1: are killing it now. I love the idea that Disney
Speaker 1: was able to weave in some of the regulars but
Speaker 1: also expose their audience to an entirely new film industry
Speaker 1: with some Bollywood and Indian stars. The combination was seamless.
Speaker 1: I loved the way they did it, it was really great.
Speaker 1: Spin is ninety four minutes? Oh so close, but just
Speaker 1: ignore four minutes will be fine. We like ninety and
Speaker 1: that's why.
Speaker 3: I know where it could have been cut.
Speaker 1: Do you really that? Okay, that's fine, It's yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just it's four too much. It's just four too much.
Speaker 1: But it's so close, so we're sorry about that. This
Speaker 1: movie is written by Josh Kagan, a writer whose career
Speaker 1: has included some really impressive young adult projects, starting with
Speaker 1: his first breakout hit, which we've talked about on this
Speaker 1: podcast before, and I Got a little Bit for Bandslam, which,
Speaker 1: for Trivia Buffs was also David Bowie's last film. Kagan
Speaker 1: also wrote the movie The Duff and would become a
Speaker 1: Disney go to writing the Kim Possible live action movie
Speaker 1: Upside Down, Magic and under Wraps too. And in just
Speaker 1: a few months we are gonna be able to see
Speaker 1: his newest entry into the dcom lexicon, Zombies four Don
Speaker 1: of the Vampires. Maybe we've got to get Josh in
Speaker 1: the podcast. But here's the thing. I I love how
Speaker 1: we break up the movies that we do, but I'm
Speaker 1: really having trouble not hopping forward and watching some of
Speaker 1: the new descend and in some of the news zombies.
Speaker 1: I want to get to these things.
Speaker 3: I know, I know.
Speaker 1: So we got to get Josh on the podcast though,
Speaker 1: because he's killing it. He also shares credit with Carly Steiner,
Speaker 1: and it's something that we also see a lot. She
Speaker 1: has no other writing credits, so maybe she was paired
Speaker 1: up with an established writer for her idea. Who knows,
Speaker 1: but this tends to happen a lot with Tcom. She
Speaker 1: could have come in with a great idea and they
Speaker 1: just put her with a more established writer. I did
Speaker 1: that the first time I wrote a script for ThunderCats.
Speaker 1: I'd never written an animated script before, so they put
Speaker 1: me with a much more established writer who taught me
Speaker 1: the process. Okay, time to feel the bass to your body,
Speaker 1: because it's time for spin. We open at Spirit of India,
Speaker 1: a restaurant where we meet Rhea. She works at the
Speaker 1: family business as a waitress and is scrolling her phone
Speaker 1: looking for the best song to put on her dinner
Speaker 1: rush playlist. She picks the music is Everything Mixed and
Speaker 1: turns it up as an Indian influenced dance track plays
Speaker 1: throughout the dining room. She starts to get to work.
Speaker 1: It is a busy, busy place. We see shots of
Speaker 1: the menu, utensils be cleaned, and cooks very hard at
Speaker 1: work in the kitchen. Rha weaves in and out, almost
Speaker 1: dancing her way through food deliveries, proving that she is
Speaker 1: a real pro at this. This is where I was
Speaker 1: already dying in the movie, because I don't know about you,
Speaker 1: but Indian food is one of my favorite things ever,
Speaker 1: and I was just watching them make this food allivating
Speaker 1: watching this movie. How did you feel?
Speaker 2: I I don't like Indian food before I went. Before
Speaker 2: I went to India, Oh, I loved it, but I
Speaker 2: was sick the whole time in India.
Speaker 3: No so much that It's like I remember a few times.
Speaker 2: I was on a date once and this guy ordered
Speaker 2: French fries and he asked for extra They've put like
Speaker 2: like kind of like a masala or a some kind
Speaker 2: of spice on it. And I had just gotten through
Speaker 2: telling him it was my first date with him, that
Speaker 2: I'll go anywhere and I'll try anything except for going
Speaker 2: to Indian food because it makes me really nauseous, right,
Speaker 2: And when I went to the bathroom, he asked for
Speaker 2: more of whatever that spice was and like, I instantly
Speaker 2: came up to the table and walked back away from
Speaker 2: it because I would actually get nauseous from.
Speaker 1: Just ending the date.
Speaker 3: No he, I don't know. Whatever. Well, if it was,
Speaker 3: it worked because I was like.
Speaker 2: See, I so I am just now getting into India.
Speaker 2: I had Indian food for the first time since I've
Speaker 2: been in India last year while I was in Florida,
Speaker 2: and I.
Speaker 3: I, I love it.
Speaker 2: It's just masala that seasons the one that gets me
Speaker 2: real good.
Speaker 1: I heard enough and all.
Speaker 3: The other stuff. Oh man, like my mouth starts to
Speaker 3: like water, like.
Speaker 1: Ye yes. And the point where my wife and I
Speaker 1: a our favorite restaurant in the world is the is
Speaker 1: an Indian place in London called jim Kanna, and we
Speaker 1: will get a reservation to that place and then book
Speaker 1: tickets to London, like we will plan our trip around.
Speaker 3: I heard that it's England. They have them everywhere, right,
Speaker 3: like how we have like sushi rush everywhere year.
Speaker 1: It's marvelously good. But oh yeah. So anyway, she eventually
Speaker 1: sends her little brother Rohan, who's working as a self
Speaker 1: appointed maitre d to the kitchen and her dad Arvin,
Speaker 1: the owner of Spirit of India, pops up and tells
Speaker 1: his son that Tiktaco's his idea for a new Tika
Speaker 1: Chicken dish isn't gonna happen. And the whole time, I'm
Speaker 1: just thinking Tik Taco's sound incredible and I want to
Speaker 1: play it.
Speaker 3: I thought it was super clever.
Speaker 1: Oh it is, but oh man, they sound so good.
Speaker 1: Ria is told her grandmother wants to speak to her
Speaker 1: in the kitchen where she is supervising a busy night
Speaker 1: of orders. She tells Ria she can make more effort
Speaker 1: with her appearance on a crowded Sunday night. She even
Speaker 1: tries to tweeze her eyebrows. Her grandma tells Arvin to
Speaker 1: let his daughter go and have some fun. She should
Speaker 1: be enjoying her life, not sweating serving food every night.
Speaker 1: She's right, he says, she loves it, or else she
Speaker 1: would tell him that she hates it. We also learned
Speaker 1: that Rhea is the president of her school's coding club.
Speaker 1: Does the high school you kind of do everything with?
Speaker 1: Do they have a coding club? Because I didn't even
Speaker 1: know what that, man, I assumed it was something I
Speaker 1: know what.
Speaker 2: Is because of my husband's business, and like one of
Speaker 2: his guys, one of his best friends, is the main one.
Speaker 2: So I knew that what that was. And Jordan went
Speaker 2: to school for it, but I that's the first time
Speaker 2: I heard about it, But that was in college.
Speaker 3: I was like, I mean, it wouldn't shocked me. Now.
Speaker 2: They didn't have like huge film classes in high school
Speaker 2: when I was in high school, and now they're like
Speaker 2: making humongous productions around campus.
Speaker 1: So our extracurriculars were like walk outside for a night homec.
Speaker 3: Was like where it started it in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 3: Literally.
Speaker 1: I think that's what she's like. Yeah, it's crazy robotics
Speaker 1: and all this other kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: Totally.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it'd be so exciting if that's
Speaker 2: really what's going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would too, It's cool. H This is when
Speaker 1: we meet cute little British boy Max that Rea recognizes
Speaker 1: as a research transfer student at her school. He walks
Speaker 1: in with his mother, He digs the restaurant, and once seated,
Speaker 1: he unsuccessfully shazams the song playing over the speaker. Rhea,
Speaker 1: who gets to do that hipster I know music like
Speaker 1: no one else kind of thing, lets him know it's
Speaker 1: free Fall Universe. By DJ Lucas Sent. He can't believe
Speaker 1: he missed a new DJ Lucasent track and is very
Speaker 1: impressed with the mix she made. He asked if she
Speaker 1: produces her own stuff, and no, just mixes it up
Speaker 1: to help dinner with the flow. They bond over their
Speaker 1: mutual love of the artist, and Max suggests they go
Speaker 1: record shopping together someday. H that's not euphemism. He really
Speaker 1: just wanted to buy records. She admits she doesn't have
Speaker 1: a record player, but Max says he's a DJ, so
Speaker 1: he has two. Just then, Ria's grandma comes out of
Speaker 1: the kitchen and appears to be bothered by the music,
Speaker 1: but in reality, they dim the lights and she starts
Speaker 1: to get down and lip sync to the tune. The
Speaker 1: customers and Rea love it, clapping along the impromptu show,
Speaker 1: and eventually it leads to a standing ovation. I think
Speaker 1: this place rocks, and Max agrees. And I was hoping
Speaker 1: every once in a while, like I was hoping just
Speaker 1: because I know how big the Bollywood stuff can be
Speaker 1: in when you watch it, it's very theatrical and very beautiful.
Speaker 1: I was waiting for like the waiters were gonna start
Speaker 1: getting involved in anything and you know, like the trays
Speaker 1: were gonna start going behind it. It was like, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a big production musical number.
Speaker 3: I was there.
Speaker 2: Saying, he was, he was wishing this movie was a musical.
Speaker 3: We have done it, ladies, these big dance numbers right.
Speaker 1: Now, I did. I did. I was seriously upset that
Speaker 1: there was not more big musical numbers, by the way,
Speaker 1: on this red because of this lamp. That's what. It's
Speaker 1: not that I'm embarrassed by my musical number.
Speaker 3: I love it. We've done, We've done it.
Speaker 1: It's true. Later in that night, back at home, Riha
Speaker 1: overhears her grandmother talking to her dad downstairs. Her dad
Speaker 1: is suggesting that maybe Nanni stopped dancing at the restaurant,
Speaker 1: calling it a little corny, but she says she loves
Speaker 1: doing it and she can't help herself. In the music
Speaker 1: Rhea picks is so great. Also, it's a little weird
Speaker 1: thing to say when the restaurant is packed and people
Speaker 1: love it and are giving her a standing ovation, It's like,
Speaker 1: why would you want to cancel that? That's that's an
Speaker 1: amazing part of the night.
Speaker 2: But I feel like he's saying it's too much of
Speaker 2: this balllywood like they're coming in. We want authentic food,
Speaker 2: just like portrayed on movies.
Speaker 1: Yes, I think it's that, but I think it's also
Speaker 1: a little bit more about what we're going to get
Speaker 1: into right here, which is Arvin emits Rihea's mix helps
Speaker 1: with the Saturday rush, and they agree that she inherited
Speaker 1: her mother's ear. Music runs in her veins and talking
Speaker 1: about her mom obviously affects Arvin, and that's when it's
Speaker 1: revealed that her grandmother is actually his mother in law,
Speaker 1: and well, Ria's mom is dead. Grandma says that the
Speaker 1: last thing her daughter would have wanted is for him
Speaker 1: to hide behind work and the kids. They call it
Speaker 1: a night, but Grandma's concerned, and we see Ria was
Speaker 1: nearby listening in forcing a flashback. So yeah, I think
Speaker 1: anything having to do with music at this point they're
Speaker 1: setting up just reminds him too much of his ex wife. Yes,
Speaker 1: not ex wife, his wife was gone. A younger Ria
Speaker 1: is in bed and can't sleep when this is the flashback.
Speaker 1: By the way, A younger Riha is in bed and
Speaker 1: can't sleep when her mom enters to help her Mom
Speaker 1: suggests letting the music of the street guide her. There
Speaker 1: are rhythms and drums and trumpets and common noises everywhere.
Speaker 1: It's a very nice moment, and young Rihea quickly falls asleep.
Speaker 1: We see her mom walk out of the room and
Speaker 1: right into the bright light, which obviously means that somebody
Speaker 1: is dead. The following day, at Jefferson High School, she
Speaker 1: walks by Max, who gives a smoldering, weird kind of
Speaker 1: head nod like hey, my my neck hurts, forcing her
Speaker 1: to get a little bit giddy. Her two coating friends,
Speaker 1: Molly and Watson, notice the Peppeter step and want to
Speaker 1: know about this Max, because they can tell that she
Speaker 1: very much likes them. She does finally admit yes, he's cute,
Speaker 1: and quickly changes the subject to their new jackets. In
Speaker 1: the halls, we meet Ginger, a student who is also
Speaker 1: a famous online influencer, which I think is very funny
Speaker 1: and a good friend of Rhea. Molly and Watson, again
Speaker 1: very different than Dad napped. They fill her in on
Speaker 1: Max and get an online update on the dance Squad
Speaker 1: promo event that's happening tomorrow. It's all the raise money
Speaker 1: for homecoming and is inspired by the holiday Holly. Everyone
Speaker 1: wears white and they pelt each other with these brightly
Speaker 1: colored powder and the dance squad is doing a UV
Speaker 1: event to alert people about it. Did you know about Holly,
Speaker 1: because I've seen is that you get to play?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they didn't.
Speaker 2: We didn't get to do too much of it because
Speaker 2: is what the stuff they really use in India like
Speaker 2: could like easily like stain the skin.
Speaker 1: Well doesn't they also get into like your mouth and
Speaker 1: your eyes. And that's all I'm thinking of the whole time.
Speaker 1: So it's like are you breathing it into?
Speaker 2: And I know when we get there, I was very
Speaker 2: surprised that because they were very cautious about how much
Speaker 2: we were getting gonna get to.
Speaker 1: Do, right, because it's a beautiful thing to watch.
Speaker 2: We were actually there over the actual holiday though, and
Speaker 2: it was gorgeous.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the visuals are stunning. I mean, it was really cool, pretty.
Speaker 2: And everyone is just it really does bring so much
Speaker 2: light and happiness to everywhere we it.
Speaker 1: It looks like it's that's really really cool. But the
Speaker 1: bell rings they're off the class. The teacher, who looks
Speaker 1: way younger than either me or Sabrina, calls on Molly
Speaker 1: and Watson to present what they've been working on. Molly
Speaker 1: makes the teacher sign an NDA, which made me laugh,
Speaker 1: and Watson presents their invention, the Pizza Drone. He demonstrates
Speaker 1: a drone that will deliver pizzas, but of course it crashes,
Speaker 1: spilling pizza sauce everywhere. Rhea presents an app that tracks
Speaker 1: inventory at her dad's restaurant in real time, which is
Speaker 1: pretty great. The teacher's impressed, but says the project was
Speaker 1: an opportunity to have some fun. Ria swear she did
Speaker 1: have fun, but the teacher isn't convinced. Then she reminds
Speaker 1: him about the upcoming parent teacher conference. Ooh, I hated those.
Speaker 1: It was always not working up to his potential. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: that's a whole thing for my I'll deal with that
Speaker 1: on my own time.
Speaker 3: Try having to be in them now.
Speaker 1: Oh, I couldn't even care, couldn't even imagine. I would
Speaker 1: still go right back to being like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I somehow I got a you in this class. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you remember that. That night, Rhea's dad walks in on
Speaker 1: her tinkering with the app, and he's blown away. He
Speaker 1: thanks her and says good night. The next day, at school,
Speaker 1: while eating lunch, Ginger alerts the gang of a disaster.
Speaker 1: The DJ for the promo event got caught cheating and
Speaker 1: is suspended, and the black Light dances in twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: Watson and Molly offered a beatbox, but they quickly pivot
Speaker 1: to Max. Rihea and Mitch hasn't actually hurt him, but
Speaker 1: he seems to know what he's talking about, so Ginger
Speaker 1: as the dance squad go and get him, and boom
Speaker 1: crisis averted. He is hired. Ginger tells Ria to come
Speaker 1: say hi and make sure he knows that she's the
Speaker 1: one that got him the gig. Smart Now the event,
Speaker 1: Max is quickly getting accustomed to the equipment. He thanks
Speaker 1: Ria for suggesting him and says he owes her one.
Speaker 1: The event starts and Max is killing it right off
Speaker 1: the bat. The dance squad quickly breaks into a routine
Speaker 1: while wearing black light neon outfits. You know me, I
Speaker 1: love a good dance sequence with black light neon outfits.
Speaker 1: This is truly so cool. I've never been seen. Does
Speaker 1: your dance squad do anything like this, Sabrina? Do you
Speaker 1: neon them up?
Speaker 2: Okay, So they used to have a black light assembly
Speaker 2: at the school and they would bring in all of
Speaker 2: these just giant you know, trying to get the gym
Speaker 2: to actually light up when.
Speaker 3: It's like a big space. It was tough. And my
Speaker 3: girls would always wear.
Speaker 2: Like white stuff, you know, white outfits, and they'd get
Speaker 2: the glow and the dark paint, put it on the vein.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But the drum line, they were the ones that would
Speaker 2: kill it and they bring things out on the floor
Speaker 2: and they'd bang on their drums and the splattering and
Speaker 2: it was just like, I mean, they would.
Speaker 3: Go all out. We couldn't do too much.
Speaker 2: But they would just Oh, it was so awesome. So yes,
Speaker 2: this actually reminded me of that. I was like, ah, man,
Speaker 2: I wish we did the black light assembly still and.
Speaker 3: We don't any more.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta do that.
Speaker 3: They should bring that back.
Speaker 1: Well, it's this school. It's become a full on rave
Speaker 1: and DJ union. Max is basically now rocking a nightclub
Speaker 1: and Ginger then books him for the actual Festival of Color.
Speaker 1: With the party finished, Ginger thanks Max for coming through
Speaker 1: on short notice. She negs him though, by saying he
Speaker 1: was good, but will need to step it up for
Speaker 1: the big day. She is off to get some pizza
Speaker 1: leaving Ria alone with her turntable crush. Rhea offers her
Speaker 1: help to Max to prep for the festival. She knows
Speaker 1: Ginger's taste. All he has to do is teach her
Speaker 1: how to DJ. They set a date for a Saturday
Speaker 1: morning at a record store. I think a record store's
Speaker 1: kind of a fun first date, don't you.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I love that.
Speaker 2: We haven't seen it in this kind of movie, but
Speaker 2: it is always a nice place, just like we, you know,
Speaker 2: getting to know each other's musical styles.
Speaker 1: And it's like they're better.
Speaker 3: You can tell a lot. Yeah, you can tell a lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. Well, now it's it's the big date morning.
Speaker 1: Ria and Max meet at Victory Vinyl and he's picking
Speaker 1: out records for her. He gives her a DJ lesson,
Speaker 1: showing her the turntables, the mixer, and the crossfader. I
Speaker 1: kind of dug this because if somebody doesn't know a
Speaker 1: lot about DJ, and he like walked you through what
Speaker 1: it was, which is great. He explains beat matching, pitch control,
Speaker 1: and beats per minute. The lesson is going very well
Speaker 1: and it catches the attention of a customer. It's the
Speaker 1: DJ Lucas sent I know so little about this world
Speaker 1: that I googled, thinking this was a real guy. I
Speaker 1: was like, DJ Lucas sent I want to hear some
Speaker 1: of his stuff. This gives a fake guy. I swear
Speaker 1: to god, I don't know any of this stuff. The
Speaker 1: duo are, of course nervous meeting their favorite musician, but
Speaker 1: he likes what he's heard. He gets them flyers for
Speaker 1: his Battle of the beat Masters, which is a contest
Speaker 1: for Team DJs. The winner gets his signature equipment and
Speaker 1: a personal lesson immediately. Ria says Max will be there.
Speaker 1: Lucas says he's looking for two things from a DJ
Speaker 1: tell Us story and make us care. He leaves and
Speaker 1: wishes them both luck and man. Are they excited. They
Speaker 1: decide to get coffee to go over the big moment
Speaker 1: and get to know each other a little bit better.
Speaker 1: Max says he moves with his mom a lot, and
Speaker 1: it's tough to make friends while traveling, so he djys
Speaker 1: because it makes it easier to connect with people. Ria
Speaker 1: reveals her mom was a great singer for her Grandma's
Speaker 1: restaurant dance show, but she died when she was only eight.
Speaker 1: He gives us condolences and asks if she'd like to
Speaker 1: practice with him tomorrow. She apparently is in because we
Speaker 1: immediately cut to the next day at his place, he
Speaker 1: teaches her how to scratch by the way, I apologize
Speaker 1: for me not sounding cool when I say any of
Speaker 1: these terms. But he teaches her how to scratch. But Max,
Speaker 1: of course, is disappointed by his mom when she says
Speaker 1: the music is too loud. She's on a business call.
Speaker 1: They're obviously not super close. We jump to a montage.
Speaker 1: We see Rhea practicing with a YouTube tutorial and shopping
Speaker 1: for more records with Max. They seem to be really
Speaker 1: getting along, even holding hands and having dinner at the
Speaker 1: restaurant together. But more importantly, she's getting better at djaying
Speaker 1: and developing her own style very quickly, even as mom
Speaker 1: likes her mix. This slightly bothers Max, who again has
Speaker 1: serious mommy issues. Ria, though it seems is a natural,
Speaker 1: Max thinks she can be an actual, real artist. She
Speaker 1: sees herself as a coder, not a musician. Then she
Speaker 1: starts to get a barrage of texts. It's parent teacher
Speaker 1: conference night, so she has to get to the restaurant asap.
Speaker 1: It is busy at Spirit of India and her dad
Speaker 1: isn't happy she's late and leaves for the parent teacher conference,
Speaker 1: but he's still a little mythed the minute he's gone.
Speaker 1: Her grandma wants to know all about this Max character.
Speaker 1: Her snitch brother took an educated guest and told her.
Speaker 1: Ria admits, yes, she digs them. Her grandmother warns her
Speaker 1: to be careful. The cute ones can be trouble, but
Speaker 1: Ria promises they're just friends mostly. Ooh. Now we are
Speaker 1: at the parent teacher conference. Rihea's teacher is walking Arvin
Speaker 1: through her other students projects and explains that although Ria's
Speaker 1: app idea is smart and impressive, she's worried that Rihea
Speaker 1: is holding herself back from finding something new. Arvin is
Speaker 1: kind of instantly offended. He would never force her into
Speaker 1: something she doesn't want to do, and his daughter is
Speaker 1: like him, very business minded. The teacher, now wanting to
Speaker 1: be called Naomi. Oh this is getting flirty, swears she
Speaker 1: meant nothing by it and offers him a donut. Like
Speaker 1: you do anybody offers me a donut, I'm going home
Speaker 1: with them anyway. Arvin accepts and says, if for the record,
Speaker 1: so with my wife, we're big donut fans. Arvin accepts
Speaker 1: and says if his daughter had a problem being at
Speaker 1: the restaurant, she would tell him. And then, like I said, called.
Speaker 3: It flirting, very inappropriate. You think they're.
Speaker 1: Adults by themselves. It's fine.
Speaker 2: She's his daughter's teachers.
Speaker 1: So they're both adults.
Speaker 3: It's okay.
Speaker 1: That's might it might be a maybe not during the
Speaker 1: parent teacher conference. Maybe maybe slide into his d MS later,
Speaker 1: Did I say that right? Is not what it is?
Speaker 3: That so wrong from you?
Speaker 1: Is that what you're supposed to do? You slide into
Speaker 1: someone's m Yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Mean the outside of the school, like they were both
Speaker 2: at the grocery store.
Speaker 3: That'd be one thing.
Speaker 2: But he's literally there for your kids like she was.
Speaker 2: It was she the one that was being inappropriate. I
Speaker 2: could have gotten called by the district for.
Speaker 3: Sure on that.
Speaker 1: Naomi. He likes the donut, but he swears his pastries
Speaker 1: are better. Naomi says she'll have to swing by and
Speaker 1: judge the food for herself, even saying it's a date. Yes,
Speaker 1: she asks herself out. She does totally does.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's okay.
Speaker 1: It's closing time at the restaurant, and Arvin asked Grandma
Speaker 1: rsha If he should cancel this date he accidentally fell into.
Speaker 1: She encourages him to go have some fun and infers
Speaker 1: he's focused too much on work and so are the kids.
Speaker 1: But a great mix is playing and reassure has the
Speaker 1: skill to pick good tunes off of Spotify. Back at school,
Speaker 1: Ria joins her friends to work on the Festival of
Speaker 1: Color website and notices they haven't put Max's name anywhere.
Speaker 1: Ginger says she's heard his new song and really no
Speaker 1: one loves it. She's already announced him, so he'll still
Speaker 1: be djaying, but she's not going to promote him. Rhea
Speaker 1: rushes to Max's house to listen to the track, and
Speaker 1: even he knows it's not very good. Ria gets to
Speaker 1: fixing it, and just like the real guy who turned
Speaker 1: out to be a fake guy DJ Lucasan told them,
Speaker 1: she knows he needs to tell a story. Max said
Speaker 1: he wants to have fun and likes the quote wicked synthpad,
Speaker 1: the killer bass sound, and the crisp high hat pattern unquote.
Speaker 1: Rihea explains what her mom told her there is music everywhere,
Speaker 1: and encourages him to find inspiration in the things he
Speaker 1: really loves, like the beach and skateboarding, and she immediately
Speaker 1: finds a great sample to add. The mix improves and
Speaker 1: they decide to call it Feeling Good And yeah, it
Speaker 1: proves because Riea does it all. Keep that. But Ria
Speaker 1: realizes she's lost track of time. She's late for the
Speaker 1: dinner shift at the restaurant. Her dad is cleaning the kitchen,
Speaker 1: so she missed an entire dinner shift. Like you're supposed
Speaker 1: to be there for dinner shift at four five o'clock
Speaker 1: and then the restaurant's closed. It's like eleven. So have
Speaker 1: you ever lost six hours in a day?
Speaker 2: I got this was kind of hard to just like, yeah, John,
Speaker 2: I mean I get it. She's in the like young
Speaker 2: butterflies totally just like zoning out.
Speaker 3: I could see her being.
Speaker 2: Really late, like an hour or a couple but like
Speaker 2: you've missed the whole thing and not And one of
Speaker 2: my things that I wrote down, not one person at
Speaker 2: this restaurant called her.
Speaker 3: Like where are you? Are you okay?
Speaker 1: Nothing?
Speaker 3: Are you safe right now?
Speaker 2: Nothing happened, Just we're gonna wait for you to come
Speaker 2: back and give it give it to you then, yep,
Speaker 2: not right?
Speaker 1: Oh? I know. Another DJ DJ Spinderella from the eighties.
Speaker 3: Yes, that is a good one.
Speaker 1: Yes, Spinderella is a good one.
Speaker 3: She was with TLC.
Speaker 1: No, no, not Pepper, Salt Pepper. Yeah, yes, Spinderella. There
Speaker 1: you go. I love that. Uh oh wait, easy rock,
Speaker 1: DJ easy rock. I don't know which that was. It
Speaker 1: takes two to make a thing of raw bass and
Speaker 1: DJ easy rock. Man, I'm aging myself anyway. Sorry, this
Speaker 1: is not the game. But you have three DJs? Do
Speaker 1: you think by the end of the podcast you can
Speaker 1: get to ten? No?
Speaker 5: Really, I think that if you're really sad with it,
Speaker 5: you could.
Speaker 1: Come up with come up with ten ten DJs? Are
Speaker 1: there ten DJs? Yes?
Speaker 5: There are literally hundreds.
Speaker 1: Of thousands of Okay, oh wait, wait does does the
Speaker 1: the the French guys that were the head pieces? Does
Speaker 1: that count?
Speaker 5: Definitely DJs? But it's one. But yes, those are definitely DJs.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'll think of their name. I can't, I'll think
Speaker 1: of their name. All right, that's good. I'm at four.
Speaker 1: All right anyway, Oh who was? No?
Speaker 5: Listen, I don't want to hide back the podcast.
Speaker 1: Sorry, now I'm gonna think.
Speaker 5: Are you we give you some time at the end.
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough, fair enough, you're you're right, you're right.
Speaker 1: So anyway, she's been there for thirty two hours and
Speaker 1: she's missed several days of work. Exactly several days she's
Speaker 1: been missing, and no one cares.
Speaker 3: That's sad in the history of history.
Speaker 1: Best dad decoms, But instead of being angry, her father's
Speaker 1: just concerned that maybe she hates working there, but she
Speaker 1: swears she's happy. She says she's just lost track of
Speaker 1: five hours somehow. He reminds her it'll be busy for
Speaker 1: the next few weeks and he will need her. She
Speaker 1: promises she will be there, but it seems like she's
Speaker 1: starting to question her enthusiasm. The grandmother enters to defend
Speaker 1: the fifteen year old. This is one of my favorite
Speaker 1: parts too. It was a line that was off camera
Speaker 1: where she's like, He's like, you've now been late twice
Speaker 1: and hear the grandmother go wow twice in five years.
Speaker 1: I wonder if the local university is still going to
Speaker 1: accept her. Just all these great kind of way I
Speaker 1: like ones, she had some great ones, so yes. The
Speaker 1: grandmother enters to defend the fifteen year old. Riea she
Speaker 1: should be with her friends, not working herself to the bone.
Speaker 1: Ria begs them not to fight over this. She wants
Speaker 1: to help and won't be laid again. She just wants
Speaker 1: everyone to be happy, and as a people pleaser myself,
Speaker 1: I know exactly what that's like. We get a montage
Speaker 1: of Ria out in the busy dining hall night after night,
Speaker 1: now even ditching coding classes and her friends teacher Naomi,
Speaker 1: which I'm gonna start calling inappropriate teacher Naomi. Even she
Speaker 1: notices she's still helping Max with his mix, but getting
Speaker 1: so tired dropping plates at work and dozing off at school.
Speaker 1: And now they're back at Max's working on the mix,
Speaker 1: a process that appears to just be finding a song,
Speaker 1: calling it sick, and then dancing to it. Then Ria's
Speaker 1: alarm goes off. It's time to get back to work.
Speaker 1: But guess who's that Spirit of India Miss Eloy? As
Speaker 1: I think I say her name aka Naomi. For the date,
Speaker 1: Arvin is a little surprised but ready to impress, and
Speaker 1: Rhea and her brother are shocked. The date goes well
Speaker 1: and she loves the food, but on her way out,
Speaker 1: she asks for a little girl talk with Rhea. Miss
Speaker 1: Eloy isn't happy she's been missing coding classes. Watson and
Speaker 1: Molly are counting on her. Ria gets very defensive and
Speaker 1: doesn't want people to keep asking her if she's happy.
Speaker 1: The next day, Max and Ria played Ginger his new
Speaker 1: mix and boom, of course she loves it. While at
Speaker 1: the restaurant, a baby shower has rented the place out,
Speaker 1: but Rio has promised the day off for the Festival
Speaker 1: of Color. But her dad needs her. And this is
Speaker 1: where I was starting to be like, dude, you've now
Speaker 1: got a bunch of people telling you that this girl
Speaker 1: might not be happy. You even start to question if
Speaker 1: she's going to be happy. She's got one of the
Speaker 1: biggest things going on that she helped create. Let the
Speaker 1: girl go, but no, her dad needs her. She's bummed,
Speaker 1: but agrees to stay. The grandma overhears this and is
Speaker 1: not happy with Arvin. Neither was I. Arvin. Ria calls
Speaker 1: Max and break the news. He's sad about it kind of,
Speaker 1: but says he'll swing by later and let her know
Speaker 1: how it went. He sweetly says he doesn't need luck,
Speaker 1: he has her, and I was like, Oh, they're setting
Speaker 1: up a nice cute thing. This is gonna only happy
Speaker 1: stuff is gonna happen at the festival and of course,
Speaker 1: at the baby shower, things are going smoothly. Riha checks
Speaker 1: in on ginger social media and has an idea for
Speaker 1: her brother. She offers to get his tiktacos on the
Speaker 1: menu in exchange for something. We are now at the festival,
Speaker 1: Ginger introduces Max to perform, and guess what. Rhea is
Speaker 1: on her way there too. She apparently ditched work. That's
Speaker 1: what she was talking to her brother about, and she's
Speaker 1: finally called back Watson and Molly. She's admitched. She admits
Speaker 1: she's been a bad friend and apologizes, but promises after
Speaker 1: today she'll be a better friend. I thought it was
Speaker 1: a very nice call, A good scene like I love.
Speaker 1: I love scenes where people take responsibility for the things.
Speaker 3: That I done. Yeah, be accountable.
Speaker 1: Yep, I agree, so good. Ginger announces to the crowd
Speaker 1: that they've raised enough money for not only homecoming, but
Speaker 1: for a pretty nice hotel, not too nice, just pretty nice.
Speaker 1: Maybe a jacuzzi and a late checkout. Then it's time
Speaker 1: for DJ Max's new song. It starts, and so does
Speaker 1: the holly Chalk fireworks. Color is everywhere. It goes all
Speaker 1: over the partygoers. While they love the track and Rhea
Speaker 1: finally arrives just in time to watch Max kill it.
Speaker 1: She is very proud. We get some cool slow moo
Speaker 1: shots of this beautiful colored chalk flying everywhere. The song
Speaker 1: is pumping' Did you like the song is a good song?
Speaker 3: Good?
Speaker 5: I do?
Speaker 2: I thought it was good and I thought he was
Speaker 2: pretty good, because I would think it would it would
Speaker 2: be hard to really like hone in on how to
Speaker 2: perform as a DJ, Like I don't think.
Speaker 3: We get to see DJ. Yeah, it's like, but you.
Speaker 2: Know what I mean, for somebody to like hone in
Speaker 2: on that without being the DJ themselves, I think it's
Speaker 2: like kind of tough. I wouldn't exactly know how to
Speaker 2: do it. I mean Alison Stoner, we saw her in
Speaker 2: the movie she was in.
Speaker 3: With the Johns Brothers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard even if even though she's a mover,
Speaker 2: it's like hard to like really like make that convintion.
Speaker 1: She's a phenomenal dancer, but it's such a different thing
Speaker 1: that it's.
Speaker 3: Just a different different Yeah, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. Max then announces that the song title
Speaker 1: is Feeling Good, the song they wrote, and apparently it's
Speaker 1: available to stream. He says he couldn't have done this himself.
Speaker 1: He wants to thank someone for their help, and then
Speaker 1: he thinks, Ginger.
Speaker 3: Did we see that come?
Speaker 1: I didn't either. I was like, Oh, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: so nice, like, oh no, they're putting a twist on it.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I knew the twist was gonna come, but
Speaker 2: I didn't think it included it would include Ginger like the.
Speaker 3: I was, so. I was like, I was.
Speaker 1: Hoping it wasn't gonna be a twist.
Speaker 3: I was hoping be nice moment for me. Like what Ginger?
Speaker 1: So yeah, she feels betrayed, and rightfully so. After the gig,
Speaker 1: Max is signing autographs for fans. When Rhea confronts him,
Speaker 1: She asked why she didn't get a shout out, and
Speaker 1: he says he was too excited and slipped his mind.
Speaker 1: This doesn't feel any better for her. She named the song,
Speaker 1: she invented the concept, She even came up with the
Speaker 1: main vocal hook. How could this slip his mind? He
Speaker 1: gets very defensive. He says, look, she helped, but remember
Speaker 1: this is his thing, Okay, his equipment. He's the DJ.
Speaker 1: She's not an artist. She makes Indian food restaurant mixes.
Speaker 1: Oh what a dick Dick Dick.
Speaker 6: See, I can see Cia Sea and it was such
Speaker 6: a quick change for the character you're like in in
Speaker 6: in in, I hate him like it was that quick.
Speaker 3: And she's so amazing.
Speaker 2: It was okay for me to hate him because he
Speaker 2: just hurt her fitly.
Speaker 1: Yep, that's what it was. And it just happened so fast,
Speaker 1: like oh man, they instantly made me not care about
Speaker 1: this guy at all at all, and it's like, oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, h yeah, wow, you just hurt this little girl's
Speaker 2: feelings and she has been busting her ass for you.
Speaker 1: Yes, his mom's gonna move him in another month anyway,
Speaker 1: so yeah. But she says she'd never take credit for
Speaker 1: others work and storms off. Max wants to follow her,
Speaker 1: but unfortunately his headphones are connected to the mixer, so
Speaker 1: it's just like a leash. She can't go anywhere. And
Speaker 1: apparently I have it on very good authority that that
Speaker 1: actually is what happens. Then yeah, apparently like sense, Yeah,
Speaker 1: then we see that Ginger and the Coating friends all
Speaker 1: heard what Rhea said to Max. Max's ria was just
Speaker 1: being dramatic, but they call him a filthy liar and
Speaker 1: they walk away, And I love that her friends are
Speaker 1: instantly on her side. It's like and now Max's persona
Speaker 1: on Grana. Back home, Ria is of course in very
Speaker 1: big trouble. Her dad knows she left midshift, which would
Speaker 1: be hard to hide seeing as she's colored in multi
Speaker 1: colored paint, and now he can't count on her anymore,
Speaker 1: which I was like, dude, that's harsh. She's missed a
Speaker 1: day of work in five years. Yeah, she says she's sorry.
Speaker 1: Fifteen which is fifteen exactly. She says she's sorry, but
Speaker 1: he grounds her for two months, which again the grounding.
Speaker 1: I understand, you can't lie, but give the girl a break.
Speaker 1: Rio then breaks down in her room. The stress has
Speaker 1: finally gotten to her, and she's been dealing with a
Speaker 1: lot of stress. I felt for this girl. Eventually, Aria
Speaker 1: joins her her grandmother to pray and explain why leaving
Speaker 1: the restaurant was an emergency. She says she went to
Speaker 1: the festival and had her heart ripped out by Max.
Speaker 1: She wants to return to spirit of India and pretend
Speaker 1: that none of this ever happened. Her grandmother says she
Speaker 1: refuses to let her hide in her work like her
Speaker 1: dad does. Rhea feels like it's her responsibility with her
Speaker 1: mom gone, but her grandmother says it's not her job
Speaker 1: to make everyone happy. The grandmother was so amazing in
Speaker 1: this movie. I know. Grandmother encourages her to make a
Speaker 1: new song, makes so much music it'll crush Max. Yes.
Speaker 1: When Rio worries she's out of ideas, her grandmother smiles
Speaker 1: and says her mom used to say the same thing.
Speaker 1: Every time she finished a new song, she'd feel tapped out.
Speaker 1: Then the grandmother pulls out a box full of tapes, jewelry,
Speaker 1: and photos. It's audio of Rhea's mom's songs. They find
Speaker 1: one tape that says for Rhea. That night, Rhea listens
Speaker 1: to her mom's music, finding new and emotional inspiration in
Speaker 1: their connection, even standing by the window and finding music
Speaker 1: in the streets outside like she was taught growing up.
Speaker 1: The next day, Ginger, Molly, and Watson go to Rihea's
Speaker 1: house with a box of stuff. They know she can't
Speaker 1: leave the house, so they came to her with DJ equipment.
Speaker 1: I thought this was funny, like suck we just came here.
Speaker 1: They did. It's a great friends. They tell Ria she'll
Speaker 1: need this stuff to win the DJ contest. They submitted
Speaker 1: her mixes and she's in and she's going to compete
Speaker 1: against wait for it, Max, But how will she win
Speaker 1: if she can't leave the house. That's when her grandmother enters.
Speaker 1: Don't worry, she'll take care of it. We enter a
Speaker 1: montage of sorts, Gingermalia, and Watson working on music. Her
Speaker 1: friends even combed the streets, sending her the videos of
Speaker 1: sounds to inspire new records. Rhea even uses sound she
Speaker 1: finds in the restaurant, and she decides on her DJ name.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Rihea. Hey, it works. Plus, you've got
Speaker 1: all the stuff already. You'd letting your names on everything.
Speaker 1: It's just easier. While Ria practices at home, Arvin wants
Speaker 1: to talk to his daughter. He likes what he hears,
Speaker 1: but she's timid to talk about her new passion and
Speaker 1: he walks out, which makes sense because music is the
Speaker 1: thing that connected the whole family, and so that's gonna
Speaker 1: be tough. She sees a new social media post for
Speaker 1: Max spragging about the battle, and she's more motivated than ever.
Speaker 1: She decides to add one more element to the track,
Speaker 1: her mother's singing. She plays a song for her grandma,
Speaker 1: who immediately recognizes her daughter's voice. Rhea's calling the song
Speaker 1: It's all music, and will wear her mother's jewelry.
Speaker 5: At the event.
Speaker 1: Very very sweet? Did you cry? I did? Did you?
Speaker 3: I cried earlier? I cried early? When did you with
Speaker 3: the flashback?
Speaker 1: Oh you cried or the flashback? Oh?
Speaker 2: This poor little baby has not had her mom like
Speaker 2: I have such a great relationship with my mom. I
Speaker 2: now have a daughter that got me so early on
Speaker 2: I went.
Speaker 1: Oh God, this is okay. Someday one of us are
Speaker 1: both going to cry at the Sandy comy. Someday we
Speaker 1: both did we?
Speaker 3: Color of Friendship? Did we cry a little bit? Did
Speaker 3: you carry?
Speaker 1: I might have cried at the I cried at one
Speaker 1: I can't remember what.
Speaker 3: But I cried at Color of Friendship.
Speaker 1: I think I did too.
Speaker 4: I cried at the tree one such you did not?
Speaker 1: Did you? Yeah? Okay? The tree?
Speaker 6: Wow?
Speaker 3: Very relationship with It's just not warm to me. I
Speaker 3: get it. Okay, cool, that's in cool.
Speaker 1: We are back at the Spirit of India. Things are
Speaker 1: really busy again. Arvin calls Grandma Asha. He gave her
Speaker 1: and Ria the night off, but he needs asher back.
Speaker 1: She apologizes she's stuck on the subway, and he needs
Speaker 1: to figure out what to do without depending on his
Speaker 1: daughter and mother in law. We are now at the
Speaker 1: packed Battle of the beat Masters. Rhea enters with her grandma.
Speaker 1: They're both sporting big smiles and sparkly golden outfits. I
Speaker 1: loved bringing in the Indian Indian kind of heritage and
Speaker 1: wardrobe here. It was perfect. She's rocking the jewelry. It
Speaker 1: looked great. The panel of judges include fake but real
Speaker 1: DJ Lucassent, and contestants will be judged by skill and
Speaker 1: level of applause after two rounds. Never like applause, meaning
Speaker 1: it's just a popularity contest. Backstage, Max bumps into Rhea
Speaker 1: and tells her he never meant to hurt her. But
Speaker 1: Riha says, this isn't about you, It's about making music,
Speaker 1: and she just doesn't care.
Speaker 3: Boom my drass line in the movie.
Speaker 2: I loved this boom shot Laca, you suck, Max, see
Speaker 2: you later.
Speaker 3: No one cares, No one cares. DJ Jazzy Jeff, Oh
Speaker 3: there you go five.
Speaker 1: DJ Jazz and Jeff. The helmet guys, the helmet guys,
Speaker 1: but the helmet guys. No'll name the helmet. I'll remember
Speaker 1: the helmet guys I have there on the list.
Speaker 3: But I'll remember he was the one with Will Smith right.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, DJ Jeff okay good, I'm at five if
Speaker 1: I can think of the helmet guys names. We are
Speaker 1: now at the semi finals and even Miss l Well
Speaker 1: inappropriate Miss Elowie is there. We see DJs with names
Speaker 1: like DJ len Cool, Lavender Bear, Colossus Creation, then Union Max.
Speaker 1: The Little Jerk is a pretty good set, passing Riha
Speaker 1: on her way out, who also gets the crowd and
Speaker 1: her grandma dancing. With the first round done, then the
Speaker 1: finals are set. It's DJ union Max versus Ria, which
Speaker 1: I'm glad that worked out, or would have been weird
Speaker 1: movie if it was DJ Union Max against somebody else. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Ginger goes live on Instagram from backstage and back at
Speaker 1: Spirit of India. Her snitch ass punk brother accidentally lets
Speaker 1: her dad see what's going on now. The dad and
Speaker 1: brother rush out of the restaurant. Arvin looks furious as
Speaker 1: they sit in traffic. The finals have begun. DJ Union
Speaker 1: Max is up first and the crowd is feeling his set.
Speaker 1: He's gonna be hard to beat. But now it's Rhea's turn.
Speaker 1: She's announced, but she hasn't come out yet. We can
Speaker 1: feel the tension. It's starting to build. Is she quitting?
Speaker 1: And then in the wings we see her and she's
Speaker 1: feeling very hesitant, but Riea takes one last breath and
Speaker 1: walks out. She places her laptop and records down and
Speaker 1: works hard to find a calmness and then presses play.
Speaker 1: It's a chill song made up of wind sounds, bird chirping,
Speaker 1: and splashes of water at somewhere between Enya and a rainforest.
Speaker 1: By the way, huge Enya fan, no problem saying it.
Speaker 1: I will die on that hill. The beat eventually drops
Speaker 1: and even Max knows he's done for Rihea adds one
Speaker 1: last element, her mom's tape. Her mother's haunting voice mixes
Speaker 1: into the track just as her dad and brother entered.
Speaker 1: The event makes me wonder who's watching the restaurant. Rhea
Speaker 1: is in the zone, I mean, just in the zone,
Speaker 1: feeling her mother's presence. The climax of the song hits,
Speaker 1: and then guess what, my favorite thing ever happens? Everyone
Speaker 1: in the audience magically knows the synchronized dance. What a coincidence,
Speaker 1: I know, But then everybody's doing it. They're all such
Speaker 1: fast partners, and you know that's my favorite thing. I
Speaker 1: love that. When they started banging on stuff, I was like,
Speaker 1: I hope they break it a song because that's Sabrina's
Speaker 1: favorite thing. Ria's dad is so proud and emotional. He
Speaker 1: asks miss Ella, you know what, let's just call her Naomi.
Speaker 1: Isn't she amazing? But she responds with less talking, more dancing.
Speaker 1: The song comes to a big celebratory end and the
Speaker 1: judges give her a standing ovation. While her dad is
Speaker 1: wiping away his tears much like Jensen did during that
Speaker 1: Christmas movie with the Tree. That snitchass brother sees his
Speaker 1: opportunity to ask for Tiktakos to enter the menu, and
Speaker 1: he agrees they should have been on any way. They
Speaker 1: sound amazing. The judges calculate their votes with Max and
Speaker 1: Ria back on stage. DJ Lucasent congratulates them and announces
Speaker 1: the Beatmaster Champion. It's Ria. Backstage. Ria hugs her grandmother
Speaker 1: and asks her dad if she's grounded. He says quite
Speaker 1: the opposite. He couldn't be happier. They hug, and Dj
Speaker 1: Lucasent appears he loved her set fans and friends Swarmer.
Speaker 1: Eventually seeing Max in the crowd, he just walks away,
Speaker 1: now a total garbage loser, and part of me as
Speaker 1: he was leaving, is like, yeah, serves him right for
Speaker 1: being moved every couple months. This kid has no friends
Speaker 1: and now no one in that school likes him either.
Speaker 1: Damn No, it's pretty harsh.
Speaker 3: It's hard.
Speaker 1: It's harsh. We end it's like now it's like, oh man,
Speaker 1: this is I finally found a place. And anyway, we
Speaker 1: end the movie now at something called DJ Sundays, a
Speaker 1: new night at Spirit of India. Ria is djaying and
Speaker 1: the place is bumping. The credits roll and we see
Speaker 1: all the characters parting and dancing, including her grandmother. We
Speaker 1: even see Tic Taco's and Miss Naomi, who now appears
Speaker 1: to be dating Arvin. And to top it all off,
Speaker 1: Molly and Watson's pizza drones deliver a dish to a table.
Speaker 1: We pull out to see a line outside, all partygoers
Speaker 1: waiting to get in, while Riha controls the dance floor.
Speaker 1: And that is our movie. Wow, I still can't think
Speaker 1: of the two the two masked French guys. It'll come
Speaker 1: to me. Can we do some real reviews?
Speaker 3: Yes, I need help with this person's name though.
Speaker 1: Dry oh gigante, dryohagante. Okay that one, okay him?
Speaker 3: He did a five star.
Speaker 2: Him aspiring drama, adding in one line to give credit
Speaker 2: to Max at the end would have been better though,
Speaker 2: So I actually I agree with this one.
Speaker 3: I don't think that they needed to end.
Speaker 2: They don't need to be maybe romantically connected anymore, but
Speaker 2: it would have been nice for like they just kind
Speaker 2: of have like a small thing like something that.
Speaker 1: They gave the head. Now you want more the Johnny apology.
Speaker 1: You want Johnny handing handing the trophy to Daniel LaRusso
Speaker 1: at the end of crowda kid and saying, hey, Daniel,
Speaker 1: good match. You want that recognition.
Speaker 2: I need something because she just puts you in your
Speaker 2: place you were.
Speaker 3: And also again like I don't want you to not have.
Speaker 2: Friends either, so do the right thing, I know, and
Speaker 2: actually like say you're sorry, Hey, you deserved this.
Speaker 3: I was wrong.
Speaker 1: You know nothing. No, this is why Max is no friends.
Speaker 1: This is why Max is no friends. Max I have
Speaker 1: the one star and this course is given to us
Speaker 1: this week by Big Orange Nation forty one, which just
Speaker 1: begs the question, there's forty other Big Orange Nations, here
Speaker 1: we go. One star. I know it's a movie, but
Speaker 1: learning how to DJ takes years and years. Also, producing
Speaker 1: music literally takes years. You can't rain man your way
Speaker 1: into dance music. This movie is stupid and according to Disney,
Speaker 1: I could learn how to fly a plane in a
Speaker 1: couple of days, or learn how to be a three
Speaker 1: star Michelin chef after a weekend cooking class. One star. Wow, Well,
Speaker 1: this week Big Orange Nation forty one will be spending.
Speaker 3: Here's your level of sparkle dust and magic.
Speaker 1: No, mister, no, there's no sparkle dust and or magic.
Speaker 1: And now, of course we are coming to our favorite portion.
Speaker 1: Well I like it, Breena loves it fame, which is
Speaker 1: our game, our feature of the week, and this one
Speaker 1: is called beat per minute. Of course, producer Jensen does
Speaker 1: these now, I think specifically just to annoy Sabrina, which
Speaker 1: is kind of my favorite part of the day. So
Speaker 1: to honor the art of djying, we will be given
Speaker 1: an iconic song and a number of beats per minute.
Speaker 1: We have to decide whether the actual BPM is higher
Speaker 1: or lower than that. Yikes. So say we're given a
Speaker 1: song and the number is one hundred and eight beats
Speaker 1: per minute. We have to answer with a higher or
Speaker 1: lower three out of five wins. So here we go.
Speaker 1: You're a musician, so you could probably do this a
Speaker 1: lot better than me. Number one, Bye Bye Bye by
Speaker 1: end Sync one hundred and sixty beats per minute.
Speaker 3: So we're saying, is it higher or lower than that? Okay,
Speaker 3: it's definitely lower than that.
Speaker 1: Okay, Then I'm gonna go sabrin. I'm gonna say it's
Speaker 1: lower than that.
Speaker 5: Bye Bye Bye is one hundred and seventy three beats
Speaker 5: per minute.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, wow, okay? Uh number okay, okay.
Speaker 1: Number two Hotel California by the Eagles, one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty beats per minute. It has to be less than that, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a slow song, has to be.
Speaker 5: Thus in that it is lower, but by very little.
Speaker 5: One hundred and forty seven.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: Okay. Number three you can't touch this by mc hammer
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty nine beats per minute. It's got
Speaker 1: to be above, definitely higher than higher than that.
Speaker 5: It is higher. Three, you've got to one more.
Speaker 1: Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Junior, one hundred and thirty beats
Speaker 1: per minute.
Speaker 3: Wait, is that the that's not the ghost.
Speaker 1: There's something strange neighborhood. Who.
Speaker 2: By the way, I've used like every single one of
Speaker 2: these songs in one of my routines.
Speaker 1: There you go. I'm going to say it's I'm going
Speaker 1: to say it's higher than one hundred and thirty beats
Speaker 1: per minute, but.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, it's got it's probably higher.
Speaker 4: Coming down to the last question, it is lower one
Speaker 4: hundred and fifteen point four beats permit.
Speaker 3: Du Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1: But that Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter. And I'm the only
Speaker 1: person in the world, and I love Sabrina so much
Speaker 1: that has never heard this song. So what, I don't
Speaker 1: listen to the radio.
Speaker 3: No this song.
Speaker 1: No, I haven't. I haven't heard new music.
Speaker 2: They it's like it's got to be on an ad
Speaker 2: of something that you've listened.
Speaker 1: Way, if i've heard it, I don't know what it is. Okay,
Speaker 1: And I love Sabrina to death. She's awesome person. I
Speaker 1: just I don't listen to new music.
Speaker 3: I like absolutely am like just in love with her.
Speaker 1: So is it then you got to win the win
Speaker 1: this or lose this for us more? Okay? Then? Maybe? Okay?
Speaker 1: Then again, I've never recognized like.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, you don't know.
Speaker 1: I didn't. I don't watch or anything.
Speaker 2: Has been in ads a lot too, Like they've really
Speaker 2: used her their stuff a lot.
Speaker 3: Okay, but I.
Speaker 1: Think is it a slow song or a fast song?
Speaker 3: It's a slower song.
Speaker 2: Okay, It's probably still just a little bit higher than
Speaker 2: what that is though, So you're going with higher twenty seven.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm all right, Sabrina's going.
Speaker 1: With higher, So I'm gonna go the opposite and say lower.
Speaker 4: Will has a winning strategy.
Speaker 3: How many of these is that song? Four one o four?
Speaker 1: I just played against Serberena.
Speaker 4: Oh she was using a DJ site, but then I
Speaker 4: realized those are the perfect sites to you.
Speaker 1: So I was betting against the house. Oh god, funny,
Speaker 1: all right you them? Yeah? I did hedge my bets
Speaker 1: and I want again. I love that.
Speaker 3: Ohays, thank you.
Speaker 1: Producer Jensen went and down bet against Sabrina. Can we
Speaker 1: do some Sabrina ces please? Yes.
Speaker 2: We did not hit on the little actress that's in
Speaker 2: one of my favorite shows right now XO Kitty.
Speaker 3: She was she played Molly.
Speaker 2: She was so good and she wasn't the lead in
Speaker 2: this in any sense, but like she to me, all
Speaker 2: of these young actors to me just felt like home runs.
Speaker 3: They were just so good in their in their characters.
Speaker 1: And I know what the other thing is, they were
Speaker 1: all super interesting.
Speaker 3: Yes they all.
Speaker 2: Yes, I loved I loved the other best friend like
Speaker 2: I love. I even loved the girl that was the influencer.
Speaker 3: I thought she was really good.
Speaker 2: Poor Ginger like got all of a sudden gets mixed
Speaker 2: up with this guy when she's the one that like
Speaker 2: that wasn't fault was so sweet and saying like you
Speaker 2: should make sure that he knows you got this job.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, and like so I mean.
Speaker 2: But anyway, I just loved all their characters. I speaking
Speaker 2: of the DJ gig, that one pulled me a little
Speaker 2: bit out of my zone because I felt much like
Speaker 2: you in the sense of like, wait, he has his
Speaker 2: computer and I know that wasn't his setup because he
Speaker 2: makes it a note about that, but like.
Speaker 3: He was really actually ready to do like a full
Speaker 3: on gig in like twenty minutes.
Speaker 2: Like maybe I don't know, I'm not I'm not a
Speaker 2: DJ so, but that seemed like a.
Speaker 1: Little like you know, you know who would agree with you?
Speaker 1: Big Orange Nation forty one.
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: There were a couple of times that I felt like, oh,
Speaker 2: we're just gonna not at all try to make it
Speaker 2: real time with the with the way they did some
Speaker 2: of the editing. And one of them happens right after
Speaker 2: this gig where they're taught. They start their initial conversation
Speaker 2: on the stage and they're walking out and then within
Speaker 2: mid sentence, they're like in the middle of the hallway.
Speaker 3: Because if they've been.
Speaker 2: Quite a few times where I was like, we're just
Speaker 2: gonna okay, Like there's no doorframe, we could.
Speaker 3: Have walked through, like, didn't need to even start in there.
Speaker 2: They she could have caught up with him in the
Speaker 2: hallway or stayed in there wasn't needed whatever. That one
Speaker 2: pulled me out some of the lines, like we were saying,
Speaker 2: I loved Debbie's liner. Isn't an emergency she had that.
Speaker 2: There was also Battle of the Master's DJ competition.
Speaker 1: What's that? Yes, it's kind of in the title the.
Speaker 3: Title, and then.
Speaker 2: Uh, the one of the the Grandma had a bunch
Speaker 2: and Nanny had a bunch and one of hers and
Speaker 2: as the children say, no take backs, tied on that one.
Speaker 2: And then I, lastly, I did find the four minutes
Speaker 2: that could have been at least shortened somewhat to get
Speaker 2: us to that ninety minute mark. And for me, although
Speaker 2: I'm all I'm all about emotional scenes, I love them,
Speaker 2: it was the long song that happened when she was
Speaker 2: listening to her mom's tape. And yes, the window that
Speaker 2: we came that dragged.
Speaker 3: Out a little bit. So maybe not four full minutes,
Speaker 3: but at least two. I think they could have cut
Speaker 3: it in half.
Speaker 1: It LEAs have snipped here and there, snipped it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think, oh, and then the last thing is,
Speaker 2: so this was my question, you know how he got pulled.
Speaker 3: By the you know, he got like.
Speaker 2: This the headphonelda right, which happens to me all the
Speaker 2: time when we get off this podcast, by the way.
Speaker 2: But then at the end, when all the other DJs
Speaker 2: were in the audience, they all had their headphones, like
Speaker 2: as if they just like wear them around.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, as a voice over actor, we don't usually
Speaker 1: carry our headphones with us. But maybe that's different for DJs.

Speaker 2: I guess they decided to like signify that like, oh,
Speaker 2: they were.
Speaker 3: One of the ones that was up on stage. It
Speaker 3: was just kind of weird.
Speaker 2: So I was like, do they get pulled an or
Speaker 2: or are they using like the beats that are bluetooth.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: That's a question you and I probably can't answer, but
Speaker 2: maybe the fans out there can, but they're gonna have
Speaker 2: to know and Instagram.
Speaker 1: Because I, yeah, let us know, because I have no idea.
Speaker 3: It's not my world, no, So but that was it.
Speaker 2: I really I'm looking forward to rating this because me
Speaker 2: Too is probably one of my favorites that we've done

Speaker 6: Let's do TikTok you want to do tiktokos, Let's do TikTok.
Speaker 3: Although I do love all these crispy high.

Speaker 1: clear that you see people walk on screen where it's
Speaker 1: just like, oh, that's okay, She's gonna be huge. I'm
Speaker 1: giving this a solid eight point five tiktokos. This was
Speaker 1: a very good movie. I enjoyed myself. I'm sure it
Speaker 1: helped coming right off a dad napped, I really do.
Speaker 1: I've disliked that movie so much that seeing this was

Speaker 1: liked this movie. I thought it was great. Eight point
Speaker 1: five tictacos for me.

Speaker 3: I this is one of my favorite movies.
Speaker 2: And again this is too like I love music, but

Speaker 2: It felt like it was Yes, she probably got better
Speaker 2: than what she could have a in a couple of weeks,
Speaker 2: but at the same time.
Speaker 1: That's okay.
Speaker 2: I loved the Indian culture inspiration that was involved in this.
Speaker 2: It didn't overpower anything. It was nice. Again, I loved
Speaker 2: I know you were saying that you wish there would
Speaker 2: have been more through the rolling credits. I would have
Speaker 2: loved to see a full blown but Bollywood performance, But
Speaker 2: within the movie, I felt like it was just enough,
Speaker 2: just enough dancing because it really wasn't supposed to be
Speaker 2: like a musical in that sense. It was not about that,
Speaker 2: you know. It really was actually about the music and Djane.
Speaker 2: So I thought there was just enough because it's hard
Speaker 2: to have good music in that dance, that's how, you know.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I loved the amount of
Speaker 2: all of that inspiration that they had in there, and again,
Speaker 2: She the.
