WEBVTT - The Even Stevens Movie 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:17.040 Hey, I have a question for you because you've got 0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:22.560 oh what are they called? Children, and so your whole 0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:27.600 family gets together, I imagine because you're a family vacations 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:29.800 I also know are and traveling is very important to you. 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:30.600 Mm hmm. 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:34.720 Can you remember what your worst family vacation is, either 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.360 with your children or when you were a child. 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:39.720 You have one that sticks out? 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:43.440 Well, I actually at this point don't really do vacations 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:44.519 with my children. 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:46.040 Yet, okay, because they're too young. 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:49.720 Yeah, it's just it's like going on a planet. 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:51.760 Will go to go see family, but I'm not going 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.600 to go try to do a pool vacation or you know, 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:59.160 something like like a destined nation type situation, right because 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:02.000 one they obviouslyn't really going to necessarily remember it. But 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:07.200 it's also not relaxing for moms to do such thing 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.400 is basically living a mom life, just in a different place. Okay, 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.280 so the amount of bags you have to take, yeah, 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.720 the mountains, So it's kind of it doesn't really make 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:18.880 sense at this point because they're not independent enough to 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:22.160 do a lot of stuff on their own. But for me, 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:26.160 we had a Fourth of July kind of tradition that 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.520 we would go up to Tahoe and do a cabin 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:32.720 with a bunch of different family like family friends, lots 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.880 of kids, lots of families, fireworks on the lake, you 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.640 know that kind of stuff. So that I think would 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.560 be one of the best vacations I could think of. 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:45.080 And then older my family wanted to go on a 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:49.600 vacation and it was me and my mom and dad 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:53.640 and my sister Star and her girlfriend, and I was like, 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.000 I will go, but I don't. They were getting like 0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.680 kind of a one of those big hotel rooms where 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:01.800 there was moremultiple p I was like, I need like 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:05.320 my own room completely, like I ye, okay. 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:07.800 So at that point I was you're not a sharer. No. 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.440 At that point, I was twenty four, and I was 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.800 just like, I'm not sleeping on the couch. You guys 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.200 are crazy, So I'll get my own room. It's cool, 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:17.120 no big deal. 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:19.040 Nice. 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:21.280 So that that's kind of it, I guess. 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.560 I mean, we went on vacations, We always did Hawaii. 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:27.120 I loved Hawaii. Watching this movie really brought a lot. 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.440 Of that Sheeese You and You and Danielle Fischels that 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:31.480 did like yearly Hawaii. But that's what you get when 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.280 you're on the West coast and the East coast. You 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:34.680 never thought to go to Hawaii? 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.280 Right, where would you? Where was your guys destination? That 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.680 would be kind of like a whole lot of Florida. 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:44.840 Every way to Santaba Island in Florida every year for comes. Okay, 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:46.840 And we went to the Bahamas once and we went 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.520 to Bermuda once, so those were like, woh, those kind 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:50.040 of desinaies. 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:52.520 The Bahamas is not too bad, my friend. 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.080 It was Okay, it was. I don't remember that trip 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.800 particularly well. Bermuda I liked. I remember because I remember 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.280 the pink sand beaches and there's great arcade. That's all 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.359 I cared about. And my brother played dragons Layer every day. 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:05.880 Okay, Well, there you go. 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.000 Welcome back to Magical Rewind, the show that makes you 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.400 want to grab your friends, your pjs and your popcorn 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:12.400 and go back to a time when all the houses 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.720 were smart, the waves, tsunamis and the high school's musical. 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:17.919 I'm Will for Dell and I'm Sabrina Brian. 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.600 Okay, y'all, let's get ready for an all expenses paid 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.960 trip to the beautiful remote island of Mandolino. Yes, because 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.160 we're reviewing the two thousand and three d com spawned 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:28.320 from a Disney Channel. 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:32.320 TV show, The Even Stevens Movie. That's Right. This movie 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:33.680 acted as a series. 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:37.240 Finale for a very popular Disney Channel comedy called wait 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.560 for It, Even Stevens that ran from two thousand to 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.200 two thousand and three, chronicling the life of the Stevens 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:45.920 family in Sacramento, California, with a focus on the two 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:49.600 younger children, Reren and Lewis, whose clashing personalities made for 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.520 humorous situations. And a very nice part of this movie 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.560 is you can watch it without any prior knowledge of 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.000 the show. I can attest to that because as much 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.760 as I am friends with one of the actors in 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:00.640 the show. 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:02.360 I had never actually seen it before. 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.160 But having seen the show definitely helps with understanding some 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:05.760 of the cameos. 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:06.680 But I figured it out. 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.240 But it's not necessary to know everything from the Even 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:10.360 Stevens universe to. 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:11.640 Enjoy it now. 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.640 Even Stevens is mostly discussed nowadays as the breakout role 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.440 for a very young Shilah buff which we will get 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:17.880 to later. 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:19.479 But this film is the. 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.839 End of a sixty five episode run for the show, 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.400 which at the time was the longest a Disney Channel 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:28.480 show could go see. Shows were canceled after sixty five episodes, 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:32.160 so that four separate Disney Channel shows could be broadcast 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.560 during the week. Over the course of a calendar year, 0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:38.920 each quarter, four new shows would air new episodes and reruns. 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:42.240 During a season quarter of thirteen weeks, so by the 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:45.000 end of the quarter, sixty five episodes will have aired. 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.039 I don't like math any more than you do, but 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:48.400 I swear if you put it out and you do 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.040 it with your toes and fingers and numbers, actually they. 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.159 Play out at this they do, they do. 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.560 This rule would also allow the studio to avoid costly 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.760 executive producer and talent bumps in salary, which is e 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:03.320 convenient for them. So even the most successful shows would 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.160 be done at three seasons, and then they'd utilize reruns 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:10.000 to keep them in rotation. There were only two shows 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:13.440 of that era that broke the sixty five episode rule. 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.360 That's so Raven is one of them, and the first 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:21.200 one that had it happen a little show called Kim Possible. Yes, 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:23.120 we got a fourth season Kim Possible, and it was 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.239 before really the Internet kicked in. This was all done 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.840 by word of mouth and people writing to the channel, 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:31.760 physically writing letters to the channel. We ended up getting 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:32.800 a fourth season. 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:33.880 Of Kim Possible. It was a ton of fun. 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.160 The rule has since gone away with Wizards of Waverley Place, 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:39.520 Phineas and Ferb and Raven's Home all above one hundred 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.760 each to name a few, but it is fun to 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:44.159 see the reasoning behind these movies back in the day. 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.679 So this was again just to wrap up the entire series. 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:49.800 Instead of giving them another season to wrap it up, 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.200 they said, hey, we'll give you a ninety minute movie 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:56.240 or so there or thereabout, and you can wrap up 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:57.640 everything that people have been watching. 0:05:57.960 --> 0:05:59.040 This show was. 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:02.640 Also a Daytime Emmy winner for Outstanding Performer in a 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.000 Children's Series in two thousand and three for Shia's work 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:06.440 of the show well deserved. 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.400 You saw what he was capable of. 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:13.080 He is I was a child actor and I would 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:16.960 have killed to have a quarter of this kid's talent. 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:20.880 He was great. Okay, back to the movie. 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.240 It aired on June thirteenth, two thousand and three, to 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:26.800 a very impressive five point one million viewers, making it 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.560 the most watched program on cable that night. It would 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:31.960 also get a DVD release and a VHS release look 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.120 up with both Those are kids in June two thousand 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.520 and five and is now currently stream of both. There's 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.560 a word you Know on Disney Plus, so go and 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.960 watch it now, or listeners before you do, or go 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:46.039 bake and apple pie instead. Those are your magical rewind options. Okay, Sabrina. 0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:48.919 Two questions here. First, did you watch Even Stevens the show? 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.080 I did? 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:57.360 Wasn't a faithful fan Stevens ste Well, I will have 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:03.360 to admit. Did love Shilah buff loved Christy Carlson Romano. 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:07.640 I thought she was so fun. She her role seemed 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:11.160 like a dream role, you know, so fun. So yes, 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.080 kind of just very excited to see where they were 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:14.200 gonna take these characters. 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.200 Had you seen the movie before? I had not? 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.720 That guy that I had not, which is crazy because 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.680 I'm looking at aired June thirteen, two thousand and three. 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:26.200 This is literally two months before the first Cheetah Girls movie. 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.480 And like I said, while I was in the channel, 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.800 I was really watching everything that they were out, So 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.360 it was weird that I didn't catch this one. 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:36.760 Very very interesting to me. 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.240 They slipped on pasture they did. Hey, do you want 0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:40.800 to ask me if i'd ever seen this movie. 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:45.560 I'm gonna say, you have this one, the DVD and 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:46.720 the VHS of this I. 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:47.480 Do, sure, I do. 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.320 This is there next to my full size Christy Carlson 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:54.360 Romano standy yes, and my Christy Carlson Romano poster. 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:56.120 She is in the back corner there. 0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:59.400 Sir, I have it over there. Funny thing is never 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.560 seen this movie. Obviously heard of it because I'd heard 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.320 of the Even Stephen Show, because Christy and. 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.120 I are from you had not seen the show, which 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:06.520 just is crazy to me. 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:08.920 And that, but it also shows how well this movie 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:10.920 was written because having not seen the show at all, 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.680 I knew got the characters right away, was in with 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:17.200 the family right away, got the side characters right away, totally. 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.120 It was really done very well as a standalone, which 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.560 I'm glad. Yeah, where it wasn't like you didn't start 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:24.640 mid you know, mid scene where it's like, oh geez, 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:25.400 what the heck's going on? 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:25.880 Which is good. 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:28.960 So before we go dropping spaghetti from a beach ball 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:30.960 onto our school principle, why don't we get into the 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:34.280 synopsis here when Rahn Lewis and the entire Stephens family 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:37.560 are sent on a dream vacation. They must battle ferocious squirrels, 0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.480 angry datives, and each other to live through a real 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.880 adventure of a lifetime. I think it's also safe to 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:45.400 say this movie was heavily inspired by both nineteen ninety 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.760 eight Truman Show, which you can see, and also the 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.040 rise of reality TV shows like Survivor. 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:52.680 Early thoughts, what'd you think of the movie? 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:55.400 Well, the very early thoughts. When I'm looking at all 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.679 these gadgets, there's some fun stuff. I loved the gadgets, 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:03.520 and I love that strange situations. I kept wondering when, 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:07.000 because it doesn't happen for a while, that you figure 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.360 out what this like curve ball is going on. 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.440 I kept going, okay, wait, okay, wait, but wait, this 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:15.760 is great, this looks fun, this looks all just kinda 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:17.440 be a twice. Where's the twist? Where's the twist? 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:21.920 When it hits you, I thought, wow, because I couldn't 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.760 place when this was made. So then it goes, you know, 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:29.600 Truman Show, reality show goes Wow, Disney there again does 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.359 it in such a perfect way. 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:36.600 Right, so entertaining. I was locked in from starting this movie. 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:37.240 Locked in. 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:39.760 I don't disagree. I really liked it. 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:41.480 One of the things you and I talked about, and 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:43.960 it was hitting me as I was watching it, is 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:48.079 it seems like there's different iterations of the Disney Channel. 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.920 You know, we're seeing one now where it's these big 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:54.880 tent pole movies.
