Speaker 1: Hi, Sabrina, Hey will I just had a magical night
Speaker 1: last night.
Speaker 2: What okay, Well this could go a number of different ways.
Speaker 2: What what what what happened?
Speaker 1: You would you would?
Speaker 2: You would?
Speaker 1: I got to go to Club thirty three at Disney
Speaker 1: last night, which is your first time ever? No, I've
Speaker 1: We've been multiple times, and I always feel so lucky
Speaker 1: to get to go because it is such a cool experience.
Speaker 1: It's super exclusive and people This was my question to
Speaker 1: you this morning. Do people assume that things like getting
Speaker 1: into Disneyland, going to something like Club thirty three, or
Speaker 1: things that you just obviously do because you worked for
Speaker 1: Disney for so long, do people ask you that? And
Speaker 1: that is sumption?
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 3: I mean maybe maybe not so much now, but when
Speaker 3: I was doing a lot, like we were doing Kimpossible
Speaker 3: or Yo Portants World or even some of the stuff
Speaker 3: for Disney after, they assumed that, yes, you could do
Speaker 3: I've only been in Club thirty three months.
Speaker 2: Ough.
Speaker 1: Well, I literally the way I get it, it was the funniest,
Speaker 1: like it's the craziest and just out of nowhere. So
Speaker 1: my husband's mom is a preschool teacher, okay, and her
Speaker 1: students love her. She's like the best. If her school
Speaker 1: wasn't like fifty minutes away from my house in the morning,
Speaker 1: my kids would be going just to have the experience
Speaker 1: of missus Lundberg as their teacher, because you just hear
Speaker 1: these magical things. She's great. Students love her. People ask
Speaker 1: for her if they have, like Axon a second or
Speaker 1: third child, you know, and whatever get placed. Well, a
Speaker 1: grandma of one of her students is a member, and
Speaker 1: that's how will you know. We don't overuse, we don't overask,
Speaker 1: but for every once in a while. And it was
Speaker 1: Jordan's sister's birthday, so we got to go. Jordan's sister.
Speaker 1: How do I put this without saying it out loud,
Speaker 1: because it's also supposed to be very secretive used to
Speaker 1: be very close with Alice in Wonderland. She looks very
Speaker 1: much like Alice, very close. She's friends with Mad Hatter,
Speaker 1: things like that, and they're doing it's the seventy fifth
Speaker 1: anniversary of Alice in Wonderland. All the plates were Alice,
Speaker 1: and there was heart shaped greenery with red roses, and
Speaker 1: I mean the detail of this place, as you can imagine,
Speaker 1: she's amazing. All of the Club thirty three gear and
Speaker 1: things that you can buy are Alice themes. It was
Speaker 1: so cool, will like. And then the most amazing thing.
Speaker 1: We had an amazing waitress who we started talking about it.
Speaker 1: She are the waitress we had at Club thirty three.
Speaker 1: Had been working at Disneyland for fifty five years can
Speaker 1: you imagine, and says she wishes she could have fifty
Speaker 1: five more years there, like loves it, thinks that every
Speaker 1: everyone in the world should work at Disneyland at some point.
Speaker 1: And so she had awesome stories. Her and Tiffany works
Speaker 1: sharing stories. And then at the end she brought over
Speaker 1: this Alice in Wonderland full tea set, which, as you
Speaker 1: know when you've been there, I'm sure you looked at
Speaker 1: the merch like whoa, Like that's not just like a
Speaker 1: small little gift and gifted it to her for her
Speaker 1: birthday and for all the time that she spent part
Speaker 1: of the park.
Speaker 2: Awesome.
Speaker 1: Well, I was waiting for cameras to come through the curtainside,
Speaker 1: what is this awesome night? It was so cool and
Speaker 1: I just I feel and that's what I was telling Jordan'
Speaker 1: like you know we've gone several times. I had some
Speaker 1: someone who was able to get us in our Jordan
Speaker 1: and I first time going together, and I go. Every
Speaker 1: time you go, it's like you don't take it for granted,
Speaker 1: Like it's such a cool experience, and if anyone is
Speaker 1: ever able to figure out a way to get a
Speaker 1: reservation there, you've got to do it.
Speaker 2: You gotta.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know it's it's expensive, but it's so worth
Speaker 1: it the experience.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: What I remember most, honestly, what I remember most about
Speaker 3: my experience was the fact that it was one of
Speaker 3: the best pieces of steak I've ever had in my life.
Speaker 1: That's what I had. It had the flame in you
Speaker 1: and they're known for and so good.
Speaker 3: It was like it was one of those like you
Speaker 3: take a bite of it and you're going, wait this camp,
Speaker 3: this can't be disc right, and.
Speaker 1: It's all Mine came out and it's like not that big,
Speaker 1: it doesn't look that big. But I barely finished mine.
Speaker 1: It was so good and like it was just like
Speaker 1: dense and oh it was just I barely finished mine. Yeah, anyway,
Speaker 1: I had to excare because I'm telling you it's I wish.
Speaker 1: I wish more people could experience it because it really
Speaker 1: is so magical and if you were a Disney fan,
Speaker 1: Disneyland fan. It it is something that's just awesome, that's
Speaker 1: really cool.
Speaker 3: Welcome back to Magical Rewind the show that makes you
Speaker 3: want to grab your friends, your pj's, and your popcorn
Speaker 3: and go back to a time and all the houses
Speaker 3: are smart, the waves tsunamis, and the high School's musical.
Speaker 1: I'm well for now and I'm Sabrina Brian.
Speaker 2: Just when I thought but I was out, that kept
Speaker 2: pulling us back in. Oh, that's right.
Speaker 3: You might assume there's only three High School Musical movies,
Speaker 3: but today we're reminding you there are actually four.
Speaker 2: There's four.
Speaker 3: We're recapping the twenty eleven spin off d com focusing on.
Speaker 2: A franchise stand outside character.
Speaker 3: Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure. Okay, Sabrina. So when we watched the
Speaker 3: original HSM movies, I'm pretty hips so I called them
Speaker 3: the HSM movies.
Speaker 2: We were openly fans of Sharpey.
Speaker 1: Oh ovily like loved her, loved her, loved her.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing.
Speaker 3: Did we did you a lover enough to where you
Speaker 3: thought the characters should get their own movie and could
Speaker 3: that character carry a movie, which is a very important question,
Speaker 3: or do you love her because she comes in, steals
Speaker 3: a scene and leaves.
Speaker 2: That's a very important.
Speaker 1: That's one of the things that I thought about a lot.
Speaker 1: And I mean I really had Ashley Tisdale's great pheno's
Speaker 1: rate in this character. What she did in the three
Speaker 1: movies was just like she was seen stealing. She was
Speaker 1: sometimes storyline stealing, right like just she was so good
Speaker 1: that I definitely assumed before watching this that that was
Speaker 1: the case, Like, yeah, she was gonna do it. It's hard.
Speaker 1: It doesn't shock me. I was in the the mecha
Speaker 1: of the Channel at this point, and the whole company
Speaker 1: was in love with Dashley Tisdale.
Speaker 2: They as well they should be. I mean, yes, on
Speaker 2: so talent, Zack.
Speaker 1: And Cody's Sweet Life. What she's done with you know,
Speaker 1: high school musical and and what we've seen a lot
Speaker 1: with Disney is they do give their stars a chance,
Speaker 1: some chances to direct, some chances to produce. So doesn't
Speaker 1: shock me. I just wasn't quite sure what it would be,
Speaker 1: and I for some reason was allowing myself to like
Speaker 1: dive into the high school musical world and this was
Speaker 1: nothing like it. That's what I if we were doing
Speaker 1: first impressions. This was nothing like what I was expecting
Speaker 1: as far as it being a high school musical, was
Speaker 1: barely a musical in reality, Yeah, at barely.
Speaker 2: So it was interested to see what you think.
Speaker 3: Well, the movie does exist, as we know because we
Speaker 3: watched it, and it first aired on the Channel on
Speaker 3: April nineteenth, twenty eleven. It was filmed in Toronto, in
Speaker 3: the country where all good dcoms are made, a with
Speaker 3: a shoot that lasted from May to July in twenty ten.
Speaker 3: This marked the second Disney Channel franchise to hit four movies.
Speaker 3: What was the first Sabrina Go, Halloween Down, Halloween Town
Speaker 3: and Yes, this was a big Disney Channel vehicle For
Speaker 3: actress Ashley Tisdale.
Speaker 2: This was her own movie where she was also one
Speaker 2: of the executive producers.
Speaker 3: She's long been not just a presence in front of
Speaker 3: the camera, but also behind, since she also produced another
Speaker 3: dcom we just recapped, Cloud nine, though she.
Speaker 2: Didn't have anything to do with the first eight.
Speaker 3: This also marked the first ever d com to be
Speaker 3: released on Blu ray and DVD first, Yes, so we
Speaker 3: say it again, release on Blu ray and DVD first
Speaker 3: before it actually aired on the channel, and it came
Speaker 3: in three different packages, a standalone DVD, a two disc DVD,
Speaker 3: Blu Ray Combo, and a limited edition Pink Clutch Purse, which.
Speaker 2: Was also a DVD, Blu Ray and digital download.
Speaker 3: It is worth noting you can get the perse edition
Speaker 3: right now in eBay for an average of about ten
Speaker 3: bucks in case you're jonesing for that.
Speaker 2: Obviously, it is not a Balancing rayd.
Speaker 1: What is that? Yes, a lot of listeners I.
Speaker 3: Think watched a Blu Ray last night. I love them
Speaker 3: and we'll watch them forever. And we hear it, well,
Speaker 3: we were gonna talk about it. We hear a magical
Speaker 3: rewind love a Blu Ray Special, a special feature, which
Speaker 3: is one of the reasons I like the Blu Rays
Speaker 3: because they've got so much extra stuff on him. So
Speaker 3: it's worth noting that the Blu Ray Classic Disc includes
Speaker 3: bloopers and two featurettes, Evolution of Sharpey and the Austin
Speaker 3: Cam Austin Butler Student Film, which I thought was a massive,
Speaker 3: massive mistake in this movie, which we'll get into. And yes,
Speaker 3: it's that Austin Butler in this movie, and we're going
Speaker 3: to get into that.
Speaker 1: A little later, sure is.
Speaker 2: And the DVD Blu Ray formula worked.
Speaker 3: It sold two hundred and thirty four thousand copies in
Speaker 3: its first week, debuting at number nine on the DVD
Speaker 3: sales chart. After six weeks that had sold over four
Speaker 3: hundred thousand copies and made over seven.
Speaker 2: Million dollars in sales. Nice.
Speaker 3: Now, as far as High School Musical Universe involvement, Vanessa
Speaker 3: Hudgens was set to make a cameo in this, but
Speaker 3: supposedly promoting her other film and personal appearances made that impossible,
Speaker 3: or she.
Speaker 2: Just didn't want to do it and that was like
Speaker 2: the easiest way of saying no.
Speaker 1: Well, I have questions, and I'm glad lisas on because
Speaker 1: I know she'll have the answers.
Speaker 2: Okay good.
Speaker 3: You might also be wondering did the home video release
Speaker 3: affect the ratings?
Speaker 2: Well, the answer is new.
Speaker 3: For its Disney Channel premiere, it still received four point
Speaker 3: nine million viewers. So this got me thinking. Rumors of
Speaker 3: High School Musical four have been swirling all year, but
Speaker 3: maybe could it just be another Sharpay sequel? Would that
Speaker 3: still wet the appetite? Would that be enough for people?
Speaker 1: I don't absolutely not.
Speaker 2: I think it would be a little bit of a tease.
Speaker 2: I think it would be a little bit of.
Speaker 3: A tease, would be sexy reference.
Speaker 2: And now I'm not gonna a little bit of a tease, no.
Speaker 1: I I think if they're gonna do a high school
Speaker 1: musical four, it's gotta be with the cast. It's gotta
Speaker 1: be single, all the heavy hitter, I mean, main characters
Speaker 1: have to be in it, not just cameos either, like
Speaker 1: they meet like you gotta gotta be.
Speaker 2: The people are not gonna be happy unless.
Speaker 1: Kids gotta do They gotta do it as good as
Speaker 1: they did that third movie, which was a crowd pleaser.
Speaker 2: Uncle Corbyn Blue comes in and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 2: You need everything love it.
Speaker 3: But now since we're talking about this type of a movie,
Speaker 3: we got to talk about the soundtrack. D com plus
Speaker 3: twenty tens equals big Music. The soundtrack came out on
Speaker 3: Walt Disney Records the same day as the movie release,
Speaker 3: and the first single was Gonna Shine by Ashley Tisdale.
Speaker 3: The album features music from the movie sung by Tisdale
Speaker 3: and also singer named Sean Mulko, who was the singing
Speaker 3: voice for the character Roger Elliston, and there's a cover
Speaker 3: of Justin Bieber's Baby and a Walking on Sunshine cover
Speaker 3: which we've heard before by Ali and Aj, which also
Speaker 3: appeared in the movie Herbie Fully Loaded. Okay, so we
Speaker 3: mentioned this spinoff when we covered the first high school musical.
Speaker 3: But before you became a host of a very niche
Speaker 3: decom focused podcast, did you know that Sharpay had her
Speaker 3: own movie?
Speaker 2: And had you seen it?
Speaker 1: Not at all? And No, not at all?
Speaker 2: And I.
Speaker 1: Guess this was because it is twenty eleven. I guess
Speaker 1: this was as I had already made sort of like
Speaker 1: my exit of being really in the the dives of
Speaker 1: the channel and in the know. I was no longer
Speaker 1: in the know, and I wasn't watching the channel at
Speaker 1: this point either.
Speaker 3: No, I agree, I, by the way, had no idea
Speaker 3: this existed. But that's not to be. We don't even
Speaker 3: ask anymore. I know you, I know, we don't even.
Speaker 2: Have to ask.
Speaker 3: One of my favorite sayings, As per usual, you can
Speaker 3: watch Sharpay's.
Speaker 2: Fabulous Adventure right now because it's available to stream on
Speaker 2: Disney Plus.
Speaker 3: I've heard, and I can't confirm this, but I have
Speaker 3: heard that if you watch it with the lights off,
Speaker 3: a sleep paralysis monster's gonna sneak up behind you.
Speaker 2: Whisper the words you can better work in your ear.
Speaker 3: I've tried this, so I can't confirm, but I can't
Speaker 3: confirm you're allowed to watch a movie before or after
Speaker 3: we do our recap.
Speaker 2: It's up to you and that creepy, creepy little monster.
Speaker 3: And now leash your dog for rehearsal, because here's the synopsis.
Speaker 3: When Sharpei is discovered by a talent scout and given
Speaker 3: an audition for a Broadway play, she's.
Speaker 2: Shocked when only her dog lands a role. How will she.
Speaker 3: Work her way into her own chance at fame? All right,
Speaker 3: it's not wait any longer. Early thoughts, Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure?
Speaker 2: Were you in? Were you not? What'd you think?
Speaker 1: Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure threw me through a tornado? Okay of ooh,
Speaker 1: I'm so okay, okay, and uh I'm having second thoughts
Speaker 1: and then okay, and then I kind of just just
Speaker 1: finished it. I think it didn't have the pop that
Speaker 1: I now expect. You know, I didn't. I now, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm an HSM fan, so I am now expecting this,
Speaker 1: these these musicals pieces, and I didn't get the things
Speaker 1: that I was assuming. And maybe that's just not fair.
Speaker 1: Knowing that it's a sequel, knowing that it was not
Speaker 1: high school musical, I think my expectations were just misplaced.
Speaker 2: What about you kind of the same. I feel like.
Speaker 3: It's fun that she's unlikable in the high school musicals,
Speaker 3: Like that's an enjoyable that's part of the character.
Speaker 2: That's fun.
Speaker 3: When it comes to then leading a film and she
Speaker 3: gets better, they try to humanize her more as the movie.
Speaker 1: Goes on, which I kind of have to, but it's
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 3: I agree that there's a campiness to high school musical
Speaker 3: and a frivolity to high school musical that this didn't have.
Speaker 3: It kind of tried to take itself very seriously with
Speaker 3: the character that was a secondary kind of character, if
Speaker 3: that makes sense. So, yeah, it didn't. And I felt like,
Speaker 3: and we'll get.
Speaker 2: Into the cast.
Speaker 3: I felt like Austin Butler was again kind of in
Speaker 3: a very different movie, Like he played everything very serious
Speaker 3: and very real and very earnest, and that's great, But
Speaker 3: then when you put him next to like an Ashley
Speaker 3: Tisdale in a kind of an absurd way, his character
Speaker 3: wasn't played for comedy kind of at all. Yea, So
Speaker 3: it was it was muddled, I guess was the way
Speaker 3: I would say, again, you look at the cast and
Speaker 3: you go Asha Tisdale star hugely, hugely entertaining.
Speaker 2: Austin Butler.
Speaker 3: You saw him and you're like, this guy is not
Speaker 3: in the right movie, but he's gonna do good things.
Speaker 2: You can tell right away.
Speaker 1: So talented, you know.
Speaker 2: The little kid I found to be fine. It was
Speaker 2: just it was fine. But again there was there is
Speaker 2: that cheese factor of High School Musical that I missed.
Speaker 1: I missed her big over the top character was played,
Speaker 1: but it didn't have who who I missed in this
Speaker 1: movie was her brother?
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, of course that the two of them together,
Speaker 3: and we get into this because there there's a story
Speaker 3: there too.
Speaker 1: There's is there okay, because I'm I'm again That's where
Speaker 1: I was like, I need to know. Yeah, no, But
Speaker 1: it was the two of them that that that duo
Speaker 1: that they brought to High School Musical was. He had
Speaker 1: a huge part of making her be what she was.
Speaker 3: He's also a breath of fresh air in the entire thing.
Speaker 3: I'm going to give you the weirdest reference that no
Speaker 3: one listening to our podcast, including you, is really going
Speaker 3: to understand. Okay, it's like you're watching Gilligan's Island and
Speaker 3: they did a spinoff of Just Ginger and it's like, oh, okay,
Speaker 3: I get it, Like I get it, but it's just
Speaker 3: not kind of you know, it's not what people want. Also,
Speaker 3: it put me in mind of the executroducer of Boy
Speaker 3: Meets World told me a story once about how you
Speaker 3: create a spinoff character, and he used Fraser as an example,
Speaker 3: and what he said is, he's like, Fraser is the
Speaker 3: crazy one on Cheers, but when you put him into
Speaker 3: his own show, you have to push him to the center.
Speaker 3: And the way you push him to the center is
Speaker 3: by bringing on someone even more crazy, and that's Niles.
Speaker 3: So you had to bring on somebody more Sharpei than Sharpay,
Speaker 3: and which they try to do with her. And so
Speaker 3: the only way you make Sharpey likable is by making
Speaker 3: somebody even less likable than Sharpey, which pushes her to
Speaker 3: the center. And they didn't go far enough with that
Speaker 3: with that, Yeah, I think they.
Speaker 2: Just made her mean.
Speaker 3: They should have made her more Sharpei. She should have
Speaker 3: had another crazy dog that didn't want to work. That's
Speaker 3: why they had to cast somebody, some other dog, because
Speaker 3: her dog doesn't do these small projects. You know, she's
Speaker 3: got to even be in more pink. It's got to
Speaker 3: be bigger and more over the top. You've got to
Speaker 3: make it it Sharpey times one thousand, which then pushes
Speaker 3: Sharpey to the center, and she's looking at herself. It's
Speaker 3: like a funhouse mirror of herself, which makes her reflect
Speaker 3: on who's was, which puts to the center. She falls
Speaker 3: for the nice, good looking guy, and then when the
Speaker 3: movie's over, she's the star of a whole new franchise
Speaker 3: as a regular kind of person.
Speaker 2: And that whole kind of situation.
Speaker 3: They kind of tried to do it, but it I
Speaker 3: don't know, it just didn't fully land for me.
Speaker 2: It wasn't bad.
Speaker 1: I've started to focus on other things in this movie.
Speaker 1: We'll get there, we'll get all there. But early thoughts
Speaker 1: it was it was not bad in any sense.
Speaker 2: No, it's just great, right fine.
Speaker 1: For me, I think my personal expectations were too high
Speaker 1: for what we ended up getting.
Speaker 3: This Again, one of the things I'm finding with a
Speaker 3: large number of the not a large number, but a
Speaker 3: group of these big, big Disney Channel movies that we're
Speaker 3: watching is a lot of the times you get a
Speaker 3: phenomenal cast because Disney sees the cast that they have,
Speaker 3: they see the talent, and they put him in something
Speaker 3: that might not be the best thing in the world,
Speaker 3: but you instantly see how good they are, and then
Speaker 3: they'll find them in something else, and find them in
Speaker 3: something else, and find them in something else. So, I mean,
Speaker 3: we just talked to Adam Wiley, who was a great
Speaker 3: act and he does some movies that are great and
Speaker 3: some movies where it's like that one wasn't great. It's
Speaker 3: not Adam's fault, the same way it's not Ashley Tisdale's
Speaker 3: fault that this wasn't High school Musical. But anyway, this
Speaker 3: movie was directed by Michael Lemback, who began his Hollywood
Speaker 3: career in front of the camera as an actor on
Speaker 3: TV shows like The Partridge Family, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman,
Speaker 3: and The Love Boat, and he is also one of
Speaker 3: the stars of the nineteen eighty nine cult comedy with Michael.
Speaker 2: Keaton, The Dream Team. Great Movie.
Speaker 3: But in the early nineties he'd become a pretty prolific
Speaker 3: director with TV shows like Coach and over sixty episodes
Speaker 3: of Major Dad. Over twenty episodes of Friends. He also
Speaker 3: directed the Santa Claus two and three and the twenty
Speaker 3: eleven Bling Ring TV movie So Very Good Director and
Speaker 3: as I mentioned, the movie stars the incredibly talented Ashley Tisdale,
Speaker 3: reprising her role as Sharpey Evans. As a child, she
Speaker 3: appeared in over one hundred commercials and ads, but ended
Speaker 3: up with the mainstream success on the Sweet Life of
Speaker 3: Zack and Cody. This led to her record deal at
Speaker 3: Warner Brothers and a gold debut album, Headstrong in two
Speaker 3: thousand and seven. The same year, she was cast as
Speaker 3: a voice of k Handness on the hit Disney TV
Speaker 3: animated series Phineas and Ferb, which ran from two thousand
Speaker 3: and seven to twenty fifteen and was brought back just
Speaker 3: last year. She appeared in Scary Movie five and TV
Speaker 3: shows like Hellcats and Carol Second Act and apparently does
Speaker 3: not get along with Hillary Duff just throw it up.
Speaker 3: Just I mean throwing that throw and one of Hollywood's
Speaker 3: hottest actors in twenty twenty six, Austin Butler as Peyton Leverett.
Speaker 3: He began his career as a child background actor for
Speaker 3: shows on Disney and Nick, then would pick up guest
Speaker 3: star spots on shows like Hannah Montana, Zeke and Luther
Speaker 3: and Wizards of Waverley Place. Then as an adult, he
Speaker 3: really broke out in twenty twenty two as Elvis in
Speaker 3: Boz Luhrman's biopic of the iconic singer, a role that
Speaker 3: Butler appeared to have an issue with when getting out
Speaker 3: of character hum He's since been seen in Dune Part two,
Speaker 3: caught stealing Eddington, and he's rumored to be starring in
Speaker 3: the upcoming Heat too.
Speaker 2: This time it's personal worth noting.
Speaker 3: Butler and Tisdale also worked together in two thousand and
Speaker 3: nine Aliens in the Attic playing cousins, and at the
Speaker 3: time of his movie, Butler was dating Ashley Tisdale's best friend.
Speaker 2: Yep, Vanessa Hudgins. So you knew that you knew Austin
Speaker 2: Butler and Vanessa Hudges.
Speaker 1: I knew there was a time where they dated. I
Speaker 1: wasn't sure what the timeline was.
Speaker 3: Okay, gotcha, I am out of the no. But I
Speaker 3: can throw out a great Gilligan's Island reference.
Speaker 2: Yes you can.
Speaker 1: And I'm a big fan of Austin. I think I
Speaker 1: watched him in the movie Elvis he was excellent. Like,
Speaker 1: like you said, in this movie, you see where that
Speaker 1: this kid is going places. You know, he's really really awesome.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: Vanessa and Austin dated from twenty eleven to early twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, we were together for a long time.
Speaker 3: Then we have Bradley Stephen Perry, which is not Steve
Speaker 3: Perry from Journey, but Bradley Stephen Perry who plays Roger Elliston.
Speaker 3: Bradley played Gabe Duncan on the Disney Channel sit Come
Speaker 3: Good Luck Charlie, and was the voice of Zevon in
Speaker 3: The Descendants Wicked World. He just married Natasha Beret, the
Speaker 3: daughter of Candace Cameron Beret, and they're their first daughter.
Speaker 3: Robert Curtis Brown revisits his role as Vance Evans Sharpay's dad.
Speaker 3: You saw him in all three HSM movies and TV
Speaker 3: shows like c s I, New York, Big Love, and
Speaker 3: Big Time Rush. Alec Mappa plays Gil Sam's the director.
Speaker 3: Mappa is best known for his roles in Nickelodeon's Henry Danger,
Speaker 3: The Thunderman's and movies like You Don't Mess With the
Speaker 3: Zohan Guys. We love Sharpei and we love High School Musical,
Speaker 3: but we don't love long movies.
Speaker 2: It's ninety minutes or death. Death.
Speaker 3: I can't imagine anything longer, and when I do, I
Speaker 3: just want to jump into oncoming traffic.
Speaker 2: So how long has this Sharpey spen off? Exactly? It's
Speaker 2: ninety seven minutes.
Speaker 3: It's seven minutes too long, people, a good amount above
Speaker 3: the target. I'm filled with shame. There is no need
Speaker 3: for this movie to be longer than ninety minutes. But
Speaker 3: this is the world we truly live in right now.
Speaker 3: Filled with shame.
Speaker 2: Apologies to everyone.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna blame Robert Horran, the writer Who've talked about
Speaker 3: Horrane before. He's a Tony Award winner for the musical
Speaker 3: adaptation of Tootsie Great Great Movie. He also wrote the
Speaker 3: Disney Hercules musical and Thirteen for Broadway, but for Disney
Speaker 3: Channel he wrote two of Our favorites, teen Beach one
Speaker 3: and two and the Sweet Life Movie. Okay, so that's
Speaker 3: actually of her favorites. So let's turn our room pink
Speaker 3: and become a star, because it's time to recap Sharpay's
Speaker 3: fabulous adventure. The movie opens with our title and Sharpey
Speaker 3: singing into the camera in a music video style performance.
Speaker 3: She's on stage with her cute little handbag dog singing
Speaker 3: Gunna Shine, and she's eventually flanked by a male backup
Speaker 3: dancer group. She's performing on a catwalk to a modest
Speaker 3: fashion show audience, and just like that, we have our
Speaker 3: first song.
Speaker 2: And dance routine.
Speaker 3: For those who don't know this podcast well, Sabrina Brian
Speaker 3: here is a former Cheatah Girl.
Speaker 2: She's our resident music and dance expert.
Speaker 3: So I am now legally required to ask her, Sabrina,
Speaker 3: what's your opinion of our first track, Gunna Shine? A
Speaker 3: song about just how fabulous Sharpei believes she is and
Speaker 3: how she is Gunna Shine?
Speaker 2: What did you think?
Speaker 1: Ugh? First of all, legally required, that's hilarious.
Speaker 2: It's true. I don't want to ask, but it's contractual.
Speaker 1: I instantly said to myself, Okay, Kenny's not in part
Speaker 1: of this movie.
Speaker 2: You could tell huh yeah.
Speaker 1: Like right from the start, the visuals, the dancers, the choreography,
Speaker 1: all of it, top to bottom. I went, oh no,
Speaker 1: in the sense of again, my expectation is I'm about
Speaker 1: to see another Kenny Ortega and Ashley Tisdale combined. This
Speaker 1: is gonna be amazing. And the very first song is
Speaker 1: a musical, it's supposed to be a big number. You
Speaker 1: can tell the budget is much smaller than what we
Speaker 1: just saw in high school musical three, and I got nervous.
Speaker 1: I went, oh, crap, because because to me, if you're
Speaker 1: gonna do this, you need to do Sharpay's big adventure
Speaker 1: in a big way. And I went, oh, man, where
Speaker 1: are we gonna go? Luckily it started to change once
Speaker 1: we were out of the number, but I went and truly,
Speaker 1: by the end of this this wasn't the musical thing
Speaker 1: that I was thinking altogether. Any So, the first musical
Speaker 1: was a little disappointing, to say the least for me.
Speaker 2: What about you will Well, I felt exactly the same way.
Speaker 3: You can tell Kenny or take just because of what
Speaker 3: you've taught me how to spot the different levels and
Speaker 3: the textures and all stuff going, you could tell somebody
Speaker 3: else did this.
Speaker 2: Yes, I have a question for you.
Speaker 3: Do you prefer, because I know you like musicals a
Speaker 3: hell of a lot more than I do a lot more,
Speaker 3: do you prefer the musical where they all just break
Speaker 3: into song randomly as they're walking through school and it's
Speaker 3: just part of the movie or do you prefer the
Speaker 3: musical like this, where there's specific reasons why the musical
Speaker 3: numbers happen.
Speaker 1: Oh, I would say I like the musicals more when
Speaker 1: they're kind of walking in, But I like them like
Speaker 1: the way Descendants and Zombies do where it is in fact, though,
Speaker 1: like every musical moment is a giant moment for the
Speaker 1: most part, right, But it's not like they're supposed to
Speaker 1: be singing.
Speaker 3: They're just supposed to be in gym class and it
Speaker 3: turns into a song as opposed to you're on stage
Speaker 3: singing in these movies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I don't mind it because then like
Speaker 1: I go back to like a sister act and like
Speaker 1: the finale's sister act is like one of my favorites,
Speaker 1: and they're supposed to be dancing. So I honestly don't
Speaker 1: mind either way as long as it's done right and
Speaker 1: I feel something I like to get with musicals. I
Speaker 1: like to get the goosebumps. I like I like to
Speaker 1: to go oh my gosh, Like I love to feel
Speaker 1: the talent. I like to see the production value of it.
Speaker 1: Like I like to feel. The best musicals to me
Speaker 1: feel like you're almost in front of them. In seats, okay,
Speaker 1: And I get that with a lot of them, like
Speaker 1: you know, the good ones, the good ones.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: I don't mind either way though, Like I don't mind
Speaker 1: the way that started. As far as it being like
Speaker 1: a stage show, I wasn't sure. I actually wasn't sure
Speaker 1: what we were going to watch too. I was waiting
Speaker 1: for her to wake up from a dream sequence.
Speaker 2: Me too, moment, me too, I really was gotcha.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, once the song ends, we're actually not in
Speaker 3: a dream sequence. We're in the lobby after a fundraiser,
Speaker 3: which we learned was the Albuquerque Benefit for the Art's
Speaker 3: annual fundraiser. A New Mexico fashion show is probably quite
Speaker 3: a spectacle. Sharpei arrives with her dog and everyone claps.
Speaker 3: Her parents welcome her with hugs and kisses. Her dad warns, Princess,
Speaker 3: you better watch out for law enforcement because they're gonna
Speaker 3: come after you for a steal. In the show, she's
Speaker 3: introduced to a bad guy named Jerry Taylor, a New
Speaker 3: York casting agent who is casting a new Broadway musical
Speaker 3: and thinks she's perfect for it.
Speaker 2: He'd love to arrange an audition.
Speaker 3: The musical stars Amberley Adams, who Sharpey thinks is only
Speaker 3: the most amazing performer ever. Taylor congratulates her again and
Speaker 3: hopes to see her in New York. Then we cut
Speaker 3: to the Evans' enormous estate essentially, and her father doesn't
Speaker 3: think New York is a good idea. He says it's
Speaker 3: more than just a show. It's going to the big
Speaker 3: city alone. She's shown him nothing to convince him she's
Speaker 3: ready for this. So we're later in Sharpay's horribly disgustingly
Speaker 3: ugly berry pink bedroom. I'm sure some people loved it,
Speaker 3: but woo just looks like you live in pepto bismol.
Speaker 3: She's with three of her friends Team Sharpei, working on
Speaker 3: Mission New York. She doesn't even understand what her dad meant.
Speaker 3: How is she going to show him?
Speaker 2: But she's ready.
Speaker 3: One of her friends suggests she throws a tantrum and
Speaker 3: then he'll buy her a new Berbery bag, which I
Speaker 3: guess is a thing to make her feel better. Sharpey
Speaker 3: admits that it's a good idea, but no, she needs
Speaker 3: to show them she's determined, so she gives her three assignments.
Speaker 3: We cut to a little later and find her friend
Speaker 3: Tiffany literally will not stop, will not stop talking in
Speaker 3: thousands of words. She says she's found a luxury townhouse
Speaker 3: in the city for Sharpey that is equi distant from
Speaker 3: both Chanel and Wicked. Sharpey thinks that sounds perfect and
Speaker 3: moves on to travel plans. We're then at the nail salon.
Speaker 3: Sharpey and her friend Dina are getting their nails done
Speaker 3: while Dina is on the phone with an airline. She
Speaker 3: wants a flight from Albuquerque to New York for one
Speaker 3: adult and one dog. She's disgusted by the option she
Speaker 3: was giving. Excuse me, coach. Dina and Sharpey start laughing
Speaker 3: at even the very idea of riding in the back
Speaker 3: of the plane. And this is when I realized. I
Speaker 3: was like, ooh, they got a change her because I
Speaker 3: don't like her. Did you think she was likable at
Speaker 3: this point? I mean, are you just supposed to is
Speaker 3: not liking or supposed to be part of it? Because
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, I don't want to watch two
Speaker 3: hours of this, right.
Speaker 1: I exactly, But I do think it was important for
Speaker 1: you to kind of remember the ridiculous level of this
Speaker 1: character that we're doing because obviously, in all films, an
Speaker 1: evolution is gonna happen. So you have to remember how
Speaker 1: crazy she is, Like you hope, how crazy, how how
Speaker 1: how out of this world she is, how she lives
Speaker 1: in a different world than the majority of the rest
Speaker 1: of us.
Speaker 3: I agree, And so it was That's why I was
Speaker 3: like changing her, yeah, because I don't like her yet.
Speaker 2: But I felt the same way.
Speaker 3: I'm like, obviously they're making it extreme at the beginning
Speaker 3: because they want to ground her.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: And one thing I was caught up on was I
Speaker 1: don't remember any of these three girls. Were they in
Speaker 1: the first movie. I was like, friends, I don't remember
Speaker 1: any of them.
Speaker 2: I think tem tem Ashley was new for this movie.
Speaker 3: Yes, we're now back at Sharpay's house or third friend,
Speaker 3: Kelly is on the phone with Jerry Taylor's people booking
Speaker 3: the audition for two weeks from today. Sharpey is so
Speaker 3: excited and announces, now new outfits. We cut to a boutiqua.
Speaker 3: I like to say it that way. It's actually a boutique.
Speaker 3: Sharpay tries on a very sparkly pink dress and tells
Speaker 3: her friends this is opening night's outfit. She tells everyone
Speaker 3: to listen up, even ladies in the store. She doesn't
Speaker 3: know work is calling, and this is one call that
Speaker 3: is not going to go to voicemail. In the Evans
Speaker 3: living room now, Sharpey is presenting her New York plans
Speaker 3: to her parents, cardboard collage and all. She focuses on
Speaker 3: three poster boards of details like the color scheme of
Speaker 3: her penthouse and ideas for outfits, and then she ends
Speaker 3: with and then I'm a star. Her dad is still
Speaker 3: not totally convinced. Sharpey complains, Daddy, you said I haven't
Speaker 3: shown you I'm ready for this, but look I took
Speaker 3: matters into my own hands without even chipping my manicure.
Speaker 3: He explains, it's just not as easy as putting pictures
Speaker 3: on a board. So that's when her mom shines in.
Speaker 3: Her dear college friend Michelle has a son that goes
Speaker 3: to NYU and he's a very nice boy. Maybe she
Speaker 3: can ask her if he'll keep an eye on her
Speaker 3: in the Big Apple. Her dad asks if she's actually
Speaker 3: sure she's ready. Sharpey assures him that she can do this,
Speaker 3: just like she knows Purple washes her out and that
Speaker 3: her eyes are the exact same distance apart, like a supermodel.
Speaker 3: But what she doesn't know is whether he believes in her.
Speaker 3: Her dad finally caves and gives his blessing. Sharpay screams
Speaker 3: in excitement, thanking him. He does have one condition, though
Speaker 3: she has one month. He'll fly her to New York
Speaker 3: and pay for her penthouse, but she'll have to prove
Speaker 3: that she can take care of herself, and if not,
Speaker 3: she'll return home and work for him at the country club.
Speaker 3: Now we got a Sharpei in New York City. She's
Speaker 3: with her dog being driven around in a town car.
Speaker 3: A building manager, Marjorie meets her at the front entrance
Speaker 3: they've been waiting for her. Sharpei follows her to an
Speaker 3: amazing modern penhouse, which of course she loves.
Speaker 2: And then Sharpay's dog.
Speaker 3: Boy pops his head out of the bag and Marjorie
Speaker 3: warns her the building and its co op board has
Speaker 3: a strict no dog's policy. Sharpei breaks it to the manager.
Speaker 3: If he goes, I go, So, of course, we cut
Speaker 3: to you outside the building where she is sitting surrounded
Speaker 3: by her ten matching pink plaid suitcases. That's when a
Speaker 3: young man starts circling the dejected Sharpei taking videover which
Speaker 3: is super super creepy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: She asks what he's doing, fair question, and he directs
Speaker 3: her to keep doing what she's doing. Sharpei asks if
Speaker 3: he's always just films totally stunning strangers on the street,
Speaker 3: and he explains only when he thinks the subject is interesting.
Speaker 3: He thinks she looks baffled and scared and really pink.
Speaker 3: Sharpei excitedly wonders if he's paparazzi.
Speaker 2: He says no, he's.
Speaker 3: A film student at ny should say, a stunningly gorgeous
Speaker 3: film student at NYU working on an assignment to capture
Speaker 3: one unique New York story, and maybe she's it.
Speaker 2: Sharpay's offended her left side. It's better for close ups.
Speaker 2: He says.
Speaker 3: His name is Peyton, and she introduces herself as Sharpay Evans,
Speaker 3: actress heires soon to be Broadway legend. That's when Peyton
Speaker 3: recognizes her and says, wait, but she thinks. He asks
Speaker 3: about her weight and responds about one oh five. But
Speaker 3: it's not polite to ask. That's definitely not what he meant.
Speaker 3: He was just on his way to her apartment. Their
Speaker 3: moms went to college together. And the one thing that
Speaker 3: happens all the time in New York City is you
Speaker 3: run into the one person you were supposed to meet.
Speaker 3: I guess if she's right in front of the building
Speaker 3: and he's supposed to be going to the building, it's
Speaker 3: more possible, but it's still like, it's.
Speaker 2: Pretty rare in New York to run into in the
Speaker 2: eight trillion people.
Speaker 1: That even when you're trying to when you're trying to find.
Speaker 3: Exactly I told you I'm meeting you here at nine,
Speaker 3: and we still missed each other.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we are on the other sides of the street,
Speaker 1: and I was just in New York by all the
Speaker 1: train bustling.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: She cosldly says she's happy to meet him and introduces
Speaker 3: him to her dog Boy. She tells him the town
Speaker 3: how she rented doesn't allow dogs, and now they won't
Speaker 3: let her live there. Her only option now is to
Speaker 3: go back home, but that's not an option. Peyton says
Speaker 3: there's an empty studio in his building and he can
Speaker 3: make a call she wants, again disturbingly casual, since she
Speaker 3: says she doesn't have any other options, then calls for
Speaker 3: the bellman and points at her bags. When nobody comes,
Speaker 3: she looks at Peyton. He just says, seriously, okay, now
Speaker 3: here's where.
Speaker 2: Ahead of question.
Speaker 3: Is her dad still paying for the penthouse that now
Speaker 3: she's not in because she's faking living there.
Speaker 1: I would imagine because she's a college student, but that
Speaker 1: she has her own credit cards.
Speaker 2: But she's not a college student. She didn't go to college.
Speaker 2: She took a year.
Speaker 1: She's graduated high school. I guess she's college age. She's out,
Speaker 1: but she's a dad was supposed to be paying for
Speaker 1: but I would imagine. I would imagine she has her
Speaker 1: own credit cards, so her credit card was going to
Speaker 1: pay for the penthouse that is now going to pay
Speaker 1: for this other thing and he probably doesn't want into it.
Speaker 3: Oh interesting, See I didn't get that because he even
Speaker 3: said I'll pay for your penthouse.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's paying. It's him, but it's her credit card,
Speaker 1: like she has a credit card link to his account.
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know. Do you put do you put rent,
Speaker 2: like a month rent of a penhouse in New York
Speaker 2: on a credit card? I guess you can.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I thought this in the entire time, this is front
Speaker 3: producer Makayla. He had to have paid for the month
Speaker 3: and then she used credit cards for the other stuff.
Speaker 1: Okay, then yeah, oh I see what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: So he probably still paid fifteen to twenty.
Speaker 3: Thousand dollars for the month for the apartment and she
Speaker 3: didn't stay there. And so the question is, why wouldn't
Speaker 3: Marjorie have then called the dad and been like, you know,
Speaker 3: your daughter's not staying here because she has a dog.
Speaker 1: Well, because we're only seven minutes in.
Speaker 3: And we've got but that's what I'm saying, But that
Speaker 3: didn't make any sense.
Speaker 2: They needed to.
Speaker 3: Do something better, They need to pay anyway, It just
Speaker 3: they just they just blew past that.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 1: Well, you gotta remember the demo that's actually watching this
Speaker 1: has no idea what credit cards? Who yeh know that
Speaker 1: all that stuff, that idea that.
Speaker 2: Went right to the financial for that.
Speaker 1: The twelve year olds that are like super stoked for
Speaker 1: this movie don't nor did they know how a house
Speaker 1: payment even gets started.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm still gonna be like, his mortgage is got
Speaker 3: yet anyway, this is not going to be good for
Speaker 3: his credit.
Speaker 2: So we're back at Peyton's apartment.
Speaker 3: He's carrying her bags up the stairs, but Sharpay is
Speaker 3: disgusted at what she sees. Peyton pulls out his camera
Speaker 3: and directs her to go back outside, then come back
Speaker 3: in and give her.
Speaker 2: Even more of that. It's the end of the world. Look.
Speaker 3: Then some girls enter and say hi to Peyton. One
Speaker 3: of them is off to acting class and the others
Speaker 3: off to a singing lesson. By the way, none of
Speaker 3: this mattered in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 2: So if you want there, we go.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 2: You are seven minutes.
Speaker 1: Whatever it was, he could have gotten that whole thing
Speaker 1: in the apartment that she was going to be in.
Speaker 1: We didn't even need to be in that hallway.
Speaker 3: And again, if you wanted to do the hallway, just
Speaker 3: cut the two girls. You didn't need those scenes.
Speaker 2: It's just anyway.
Speaker 3: But one of them belts out a high note that
Speaker 3: makes the dog bark. The others off to an acting lesson.
Speaker 3: Peyton introduces Sharpei and her dog to the girls, which
Speaker 3: I thought, Oh, she's gonna meet friends.
Speaker 2: Nope, they never come back. They say hi and then leave.
Speaker 3: Peyton tells Sharpey she's gonna love this place, and Sharpey
Speaker 3: looks around for an elevator. He explains this as a
Speaker 3: pre war building, so there are no elevators, but it
Speaker 3: does have two things going for it. It is something
Speaker 3: available and he lives there. She looks up at all
Speaker 3: the steps and warns him if she breaks a heel
Speaker 3: or breaks the sweat, he's responsible. He carries all her
Speaker 3: bags upstairs and jokes that it's the room with the
Speaker 3: police tape and chalk outline. When they get to the apartment,
Speaker 3: Peyton is out of breath and she grabs one of
Speaker 3: the boys pink poop bags and wraps around the door handle.
Speaker 2: Very funny. She enters and says it's not a studio,
Speaker 2: it's a roach motel with no room service.
Speaker 3: She'll need an entirely separate apartment just for her lipsticks. Plus,
Speaker 3: where is she supposed to sleep? This is a dollhouse.
Speaker 3: Peyton pulls down a bed from the wall and Sharpey
Speaker 3: has no idea what it is. Quick Sabrina, what is
Speaker 3: that type of bed.
Speaker 1: Called a Murphy bed?
Speaker 3: Yeah, good call, I'm murphy bed. She says it's actually
Speaker 3: a cloud with a tongue. He says, there's one great
Speaker 3: thing about the.
Speaker 1: Loved She actually had that light. I wrote it down.
Speaker 1: She had so many.
Speaker 2: Movie she really did.
Speaker 1: That's a closet with it.
Speaker 2: I died laughing.
Speaker 1: I was like, that's good.
Speaker 2: A bunch of her one liners are actually very very funny.
Speaker 1: I love the one that we skipped past. My eyes
Speaker 1: are perfectly part of.
Speaker 3: Me, like a thing.
Speaker 1: It was just like this is Those are the things
Speaker 1: that we loved about her character in the first movie
Speaker 1: was these these outrageous one liners that come.
Speaker 3: And wait like wait, one oh five. But people don't
Speaker 3: usually talk about like stuff like that. Very very funny,
Speaker 3: good dialogue. Yes, and she delivered it very well.
Speaker 1: She does.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So he also says, there's one other great thing about
Speaker 3: this apartment. He runs out the door. He quickly pops
Speaker 3: up across the way in just a bathroom.
Speaker 2: No, I'm kidding.
Speaker 3: He's outside her window, saying, see, this is my place.
Speaker 3: She wonders if she's missing something, then remembers she's missing space,
Speaker 3: luxury and maide service. He guesses she used to be spoiled,
Speaker 3: and she tells him if it's not used to be,
Speaker 3: she expects it. He says half the building is filled
Speaker 3: with performers who came to New York with the same
Speaker 3: ambitions as her, so he wonders what makes her so
Speaker 3: much better than them without irony, She answers money, talent,
Speaker 3: great hair, perfect jraw line, great taste, how much time
Speaker 3: do you have? Sharpay admits that if she calls her
Speaker 3: father for help, he'll make her come home to work
Speaker 3: and she'll never get her big break, and so she
Speaker 3: makes Peyton promise not to tell his mom. Peyton offers
Speaker 3: her some words of encouragement, then grabs her sparkly pink
Speaker 3: coat and heads out. Now in the New York streets,
Speaker 3: the new neighbors are walking together, with Peyton still filming her.
Speaker 3: She hopes he's taking her to a better apartment. He
Speaker 3: eventually stops and knocks on a door, yelling for Butchie.
Speaker 3: Once inside, he tells her to close her eyes. The
Speaker 3: lights come on and realizes she's standing center stage in
Speaker 3: the middle of a beautiful theater.
Speaker 2: She's in awe and he records a reaction.
Speaker 3: Peyton says, when he left Indiana to go to school
Speaker 3: in New York, he didn't know a soul there either.
Speaker 3: He only had two things, a camera and a dream.
Speaker 3: She insists he still only has a dream and a camera.
Speaker 3: He adds yes, but I met you didn't. I so
Speaker 3: something's working out. And again, their chemistry was good. It
Speaker 3: just seems like he was in like a real more
Speaker 3: adult romantic comedy and she was in a Disney Channel movie.
Speaker 2: If that makes sense. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But again, neither of her were bad. They were
Speaker 3: both good and they worked well together. He just seemed
Speaker 3: like more of an adult actor to me.
Speaker 1: I think could have been irritated and disliked her a
Speaker 1: little bit more like this girl she At this point,
Speaker 1: he has now loved her, however far he had to
Speaker 1: to get her to this apartment. He got her an apartment.
Speaker 1: She is still incredibly ungrateful at this point. I feel
Speaker 1: like we needed a little bit of a dip, like
Speaker 1: you know what chick kick Yeah, like.
Speaker 3: Or or he makes He says she should have had
Speaker 3: to carry half of her bags up.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like she's gotta start learning right away.
Speaker 1: He's been a little too nice for a little too
Speaker 1: long time.
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 3: It continues further again, he needed to I'll bring up
Speaker 3: one of your bags.
Speaker 2: You're going to bring up one.
Speaker 1: Of like they needed more of that teaching moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, teaching moments.
Speaker 1: She really had not a lot of those kinds of teaching.
Speaker 3: She had moments where she had realizations, yes, but they
Speaker 3: weren't based on any real teaching moment. Yeah, I agree,
Speaker 3: one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And to give them a little bit more like
Speaker 1: it was like, Okay, this guy likes her.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everything's still how do you like her? Still works
Speaker 3: out perfectly for her? So yeah, yes. So she informs
Speaker 3: Peyton of her plan. She's going to meet with the
Speaker 3: casting director, get the part, be a star, and have
Speaker 3: a palace.
Speaker 2: Peyton's enthused.
Speaker 3: That's the type of self indulgent, self entitled, optimistic pink
Speaker 3: hurricane he's been seeing through his lens. She likes how
Speaker 3: perceptive he is, and then challenges New York to bring
Speaker 3: it on. And then I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: is this going to be another bringing on? Is there
Speaker 3: going to be a dance scene?
Speaker 2: No? And I was upset walking around the city.
Speaker 3: The cover of Walking on Sunshine is playing by Ali
Speaker 3: and Aj of course, as Sharpay and Peyton explore New
Speaker 3: York while he continues to film her. It's a montage
Speaker 3: where she somehow beats a con man at a three
Speaker 3: card monte game, which is a terrible example for kids
Speaker 3: because the game is fixed and you don't win, or
Speaker 3: actually you win the first one or two and then
Speaker 3: they take all your money. She poses on a water
Speaker 3: fountain stairs at the street performer dresses the statue of Liberty,
Speaker 3: trying to get her to break struts over a bridge,
Speaker 3: watches break dancers, and Boy even sniffs a cockroach, which
Speaker 3: causes Sharp Paid to scream. At the end, she tries
Speaker 3: a street hot dog and spits it out, which is sacrilegious.
Speaker 3: They're amazing, and I don't know if if they did
Speaker 3: this on purpose. I don't think they did. They just
Speaker 3: use this take. If you go back and watch it again.
Speaker 3: The dog spits it out too Boy. It falls out
Speaker 3: of Boy's mouth like he's trying to chew it and
Speaker 3: it falls out of his mouth, which is obviously an accident,
Speaker 3: but it looks like he spits it out right before
Speaker 3: she spits it out.
Speaker 2: So great take, which I'm guessing they did not mean.
Speaker 2: But it worked.
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting her to try it at all. I
Speaker 1: feel like when she gave it to the to her dog,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, that's funny, Like, oh, thank you
Speaker 1: for this, here you go, baby, and like just gives
Speaker 1: it to when she actually tried it. I wouldn't have
Speaker 1: assumed that her character, yeah, would have even done that.
Speaker 1: It's not like she doesn't know what a hot dog is.
Speaker 1: I know, it's just that a hot dog's below her,
Speaker 1: whether or not she's in New York or.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that both the dog spits it out.
Speaker 1: To It's very that's funny. That's funny. I didn't notice that.
Speaker 3: They eventually walk by a store called Pink Pink, and
Speaker 3: obviously Sharpey has to go inside. We're now outside Sharpey's apartment.
Speaker 3: We see Peyton again painting her walls pink, with a
Speaker 3: bunch of other new pink things around the apartment. It's
Speaker 3: finally bedtime in her newly pink wallpaper room. I mean
Speaker 3: then the room is just done perfect, Like they're both interior.
Speaker 2: It was like, keep her.
Speaker 3: In an apartment, put some pink on the walls, fine,
Speaker 3: But the idea that she's now in this lavish kind
Speaker 3: of it's like, Okay, so she's not not learning anything,
Speaker 3: you know, she's not having to adapt to anything.
Speaker 1: No, she's making New York adapt to her.
Speaker 3: Right, which again I'm not a huge fan of for
Speaker 3: changing the character. But anyway, So she's in her new
Speaker 3: pink wallpaper room. She says good night to boy, who
Speaker 3: lays down in his bed. The wall bed then retracts,
Speaker 3: and now she's stuck between the wall and the bed
Speaker 3: where she's killed and they find her six months later.
Speaker 2: Now she actually screams her boy to help.
Speaker 1: But that is knowing about Murphy beds. That is my
Speaker 1: number one Like, but what happens if this bring.
Speaker 2: Like what it's it's.
Speaker 3: You, You're I'm I don't I know you're not supposed
Speaker 3: to say a woman's weight, but you're what eighty five
Speaker 3: ninety pounds.
Speaker 2: It's not gonna lift your bed up.
Speaker 1: I love you will for saying that, shautie pie, Well.
Speaker 3: It's not gonna lift you up when it's got almost
Speaker 3: one hundred pounds on it.
Speaker 2: Like it's just not good.
Speaker 1: But it's like, I don't know, I just it just
Speaker 1: seems like it's it's impossible for that to stay down.
Speaker 1: It does for the springs. This locks, it locks, it locks.
Speaker 1: I don't know that would be a worry if you, No, Lie,
Speaker 1: I've always actually wanted one of those, like I've always
Speaker 1: thought about, like an apartment like that in New York
Speaker 1: like I had a girlfriend that lived there, she was
Speaker 1: one of my story sisters, and I went and like
Speaker 1: she had what felt like the coolest inventions of how
Speaker 1: she was able to store her all her clothes, because
Speaker 1: I was thinking, like, Josie, you probably have like no
Speaker 1: clothes right, like you've got like five outfits or whatever.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh no, I can't wait to show you.
Speaker 1: She had the coolest stuff that she bought from wherever.
Speaker 1: I've always like imagined like those kinds of things. That'd
Speaker 1: be so cool to have a bed that life think
Speaker 1: molded back up. It's so cool.
Speaker 3: The oak Wood that all the kids stayed at in
Speaker 3: California in Los Angeles out here, I think they had
Speaker 3: one room, one or two rooms you could get that
Speaker 3: had Murphy beds for like if you were really struggling
Speaker 3: as an actor and.
Speaker 2: He needed that kind of thing. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Anyway, it's the next morning now, Sharpay's in a new
Speaker 3: pink dress with the matching pink hat and pearls, looking
Speaker 3: at herself in the mirror.
Speaker 2: When Peyton knocks on the door, He's.
Speaker 3: Stunned by the fully renovated all pink room and starts
Speaker 3: filming her again. He asked her if she's on her
Speaker 3: way to meet the new casting director, and she corrects
Speaker 3: him she's on her way to change theater history. Peyton
Speaker 3: asks if he can tag along in film, and Sharpay
Speaker 3: is of course excited by the idea. Not many people
Speaker 3: can say they film the creation of a legend, and
Speaker 3: so they head out. Now in the crowded theater, Sharpey
Speaker 3: walks in holding Boy and makes her way to Jerry Taylor.
Speaker 3: He's excited to see her. Her timing is perfect. He
Speaker 3: wonders if three pm tomorrow works, he'll send her the
Speaker 3: musical number before and she just needs to make sure
Speaker 3: Boy is well groomed. And she's confused and says, wait what.
Speaker 3: Jerry clarifies it's the dog they want to audition. He
Speaker 3: was amazing in the show. Sharpay screams, what is he
Speaker 3: talking about? Jerry swears he sent her all the information,
Speaker 3: didn't The title.
Speaker 2: Of the music will give you the indication. It's called
Speaker 2: a Girl's Best Friend.
Speaker 3: Sharpey thought she was auditioning for the girl, but in
Speaker 3: reality they just want boy as the best friend. He
Speaker 3: apologizes for the confusion, and Sharpey runs out of the theater,
Speaker 3: clearly upset, Peyton follows close behind her and tells her
Speaker 3: to slow down. She has no idea why she came
Speaker 3: all this way. Planet was to live in a penhouse
Speaker 3: and star on Broadway and plan B. She doesn't have
Speaker 3: a Plan B. What is she supposed to tell her dad?
Speaker 3: Peyton says, to look at.
Speaker 2: It this way. Boy is her dog and he has
Speaker 2: an amazing opportunity. She should be happy for him.
Speaker 3: She can't just give up, So Sharpey gives in Fine
Speaker 3: a star new movie.
Speaker 2: Change of strategy. Great.
Speaker 3: If Boy becomes a success, everyone will know her too.
Speaker 3: After all, she's in his entourage and the one holding
Speaker 3: his leash. His fame will ultimately lead to her fame.
Speaker 3: Peyton rightfully says, that's a little selfish, but she's heading
Speaker 3: in the right direction. So now we're at the audition.
Speaker 3: The next day, we got our next song. When Sharpey
Speaker 3: performs My Boy and Me with Boy who nails the audition?
Speaker 2: What do you think of track two?
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna s this out loud because we've talked
Speaker 3: kind of going back. I didn't like any of the music.
Speaker 3: I didn't like any of the songs. I'm gonna be
Speaker 3: honest with you, I don't remember any of them. I
Speaker 3: wasn't tapping my toe along with any of them. I
Speaker 3: thought the last one, I think it's the last one,
Speaker 3: was okayish, but compared to but only compared to the
Speaker 3: other ones.
Speaker 2: Like the rest of the songs, I just I didn't
Speaker 2: like any of this, the.
Speaker 1: Last one being like her like kind of monologue that he.
Speaker 2: Oh, no, I hated it, or the.
Speaker 1: Or the very last one where she's in a production
Speaker 1: the very.
Speaker 3: Last one where she's in the production is fine, yes, fine,
Speaker 3: The one before the monology one.
Speaker 2: I hated that song. I was like, what was it?
Speaker 3: There's no there was no it wasn't a catchy hook,
Speaker 3: there was no refrain. It was like, what the hell
Speaker 3: is the song?
Speaker 1: Yeah, And since we're going to talk about it, I
Speaker 1: was going to wait till the end. This is the
Speaker 1: thing about Ashley Tisdale and what she brought to Sharpey.
Speaker 1: To me, it was the comedy of the music that
Speaker 1: really made her song stand out. The fabulous and how
Speaker 1: she did the song and like all of that and
Speaker 1: the characterization that she did like it wasn't that. So
Speaker 1: then when you take that away from the music, like
Speaker 1: even the first song wasn't the Fabulous Times too in
Speaker 1: my opinion, But also Kenny's not there, so we're not
Speaker 1: We're also not getting the visuals right right that were
Speaker 1: wanting that made her shine, like we're not getting either
Speaker 1: of the of the Yeah, so this music was just
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I mean, I loved I loved
Speaker 1: walking on Sunshine with Ali and aj. Yeah, we do
Speaker 1: love that.
Speaker 2: Good needle drop.
Speaker 3: But anyway, when the song ends, the writer and director
Speaker 3: run on stage. That's the best audition they've ever seen.
Speaker 3: That's one special dog. But there's one audition they have
Speaker 3: to see. Sharpay and Boy are forced to sit in
Speaker 3: the front row by angry union members and watch a
Speaker 3: kid and his cocker spaniel in a purple polka dot dress.
Speaker 2: Take the stage.
Speaker 3: This is Roger Ellison the Third, a Broadway vet, and
Speaker 3: his dog Countess. When Boy locks his eyes with him,
Speaker 3: they immediately fall in love. And this was the best
Speaker 3: part of the movies. The two dogs fallow.
Speaker 1: All right, we got well, we got him, we got it.
Speaker 1: I went went that dog. Yeah, I will say too
Speaker 1: though it was one of my screens. Watching this dog
Speaker 1: do these tricks was adorable, Like I love it. I
Speaker 1: loved it as far as that the song itself was whatever,
Speaker 1: but the little doggie doing the tricks was just.
Speaker 2: Like, oh, it was fine.
Speaker 3: I just loved dogs when they There's just none of
Speaker 3: this was as whimsical as the high school.
Speaker 1: Musicals, but it wasn't. I know.
Speaker 3: The audition begins and Roger can really sing or sit
Speaker 3: whoever singing for Roger can really sing. The Countess is
Speaker 3: a super cutie and also a pro. Did you prefer
Speaker 3: Roger and Countess to.
Speaker 1: Didn't I put sharpai clearly one that clearly there was
Speaker 1: no let's put them and see how they're doing, and no.
Speaker 2: That yeah, I agree for.
Speaker 3: When the audition ends, the writer and director again run
Speaker 3: on stage, saying that was actually the best audition they've
Speaker 3: ever seen. Then musical superstar Amber Lee pops out wildly
Speaker 3: impressed and she loves boy Sharpey introduces herself as a
Speaker 3: mega fan, and Amber says she's going to tweet about
Speaker 3: her right now, which is.
Speaker 2: A real look at twenty.
Speaker 3: In a deadlock, they decide they'll work with both dogs
Speaker 3: during rehearsal to see which one Amber works with best,
Speaker 3: and as they leave, Amber tells Sharpey she's such a
Speaker 3: good singer, and has her assistant give Sharpay her number
Speaker 3: if there's anything she needs. Girls got to stick together,
Speaker 3: and Sharpey can't believe it.
Speaker 2: We're now outside the theater.
Speaker 3: Sharpei tells Peyton that Boy is going to get the
Speaker 3: part because she doesn't do rejection. Then Roger runs over.
Speaker 3: He just wants to wish her and Boy luck. Then
Speaker 3: suggests they just give up now, but they still have
Speaker 3: their dignity. Sharpey says, Boy is cuter than Countess. That's
Speaker 3: kind of true, and he bored her to death. They
Speaker 3: bick her back and forth, and the competition has begun.
Speaker 3: As they both walk away, Boy and Countess look back
Speaker 3: at each other lovingly, and this is the best movie
Speaker 3: I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: I love dogs.
Speaker 3: Back at the Sharpay's pack up apartment, she's practicing tricks
Speaker 3: with Boy, swearing she's not gonna let some hobbit and
Speaker 3: his dogs steal the part. Peyton is still filming, so
Speaker 3: Sharpey asks if she has to record everything. He says yes,
Speaker 3: because this is his shot. Like his grandma used to say,
Speaker 3: God only published one book, but it did pretty well
Speaker 3: for him. I've never heard that saying before, which I
Speaker 3: like that that's saying if I'm honest, But so God
Speaker 3: must have had a bad book agent, because I've never
Speaker 3: heard say it was a good saying.
Speaker 2: We're back at the theater.
Speaker 3: Gill and Neil, the writer and director, welcome everyone to
Speaker 3: the first rehearsal of their new Broadway musical, A Girl's
Speaker 3: Best Friend. They introduce Amberley Adams and the guys explain
Speaker 3: that they're starting with Boy in the dog role, which
Speaker 3: Sharpey rubs in Roger's face. Boy and Countess continue to
Speaker 3: look at each other lovingly, which up writing in a
Speaker 3: boys first seen and sharpay perfectly cues him on the stage.
Speaker 2: A star is born.
Speaker 3: Now they try it with Countess, who takes it a
Speaker 3: step further by dragging her carrier onto the stage and
Speaker 3: jumping into it for some perfect improv. In the end,
Speaker 3: Neil tells both dogs good work, and they go.
Speaker 2: On a break.
Speaker 3: We then later see Roger sneaking into Amber's dressing room
Speaker 3: with a container full of rock chicken cutlets. He grabs
Speaker 3: a pair of her heels and rubs the meat all
Speaker 3: over her shoes.
Speaker 2: Can't even raw chicken get dogs sick. I mean that's fine, Yes,
Speaker 2: they can. I actually chicken.
Speaker 1: Yeah, even cook chicken, like if you cook a chicken
Speaker 1: and give it to a dog, your dog with prime thrower.
Speaker 3: Well, chicken, a little bits of chicken is fine, but
Speaker 3: you don't want to it's the bones that that's bad
Speaker 3: for the chicken. So regular regular chicken, like breast is
Speaker 3: fine for dogs. Shred it, but that's you don't want
Speaker 3: to know the bones, but raw chicken.
Speaker 2: Never do that.
Speaker 3: But he grabs a pair of her heels and rubs
Speaker 3: the meat all over her shoes, so that when we
Speaker 3: see Amber rehearsing later, boy is slobbering all over her
Speaker 3: marinated feet. Amber demands boy get off hers, so kil
Speaker 3: immediately replaces boy with Countess in the scene, Roger with
Speaker 3: a guilty smile, shrugs at Sharpei, Ah, what can you do?
Speaker 2: She shocked?
Speaker 3: But why wouldn't Countess also be licking the shoes because they.
Speaker 2: Didn't like.
Speaker 1: What I thought?
Speaker 2: Yes, but they did. Roger with the guilty smile, shrugs
Speaker 2: at Sharpey, Hey, what can you do? She is shocked.
Speaker 3: And then when it's time for Countess to enter, we
Speaker 3: hear a dog whistle, which is impossible because you can't
Speaker 3: ever hear a dog whistle, and at Sharpey hiding in
Speaker 3: the theater, Countess stops and starts spinning in circles. Everyone
Speaker 3: is confused because they correctly can't hear the whistle, and
Speaker 3: Gil brings Boy back on stage. Roger sees Sharpey crouch
Speaker 3: in the seat with the whistle and mimics him, Sorry,
Speaker 3: what can you do? So when they run the scene again,
Speaker 3: Boy enters with Roger on the other side of the stage.
Speaker 3: He releases a cat. He brings a giant cat in
Speaker 3: and Boy immediately runs after it, completely blowing the scene again.
Speaker 3: Countess does not. Gil tells everyone to take ten and
Speaker 3: Sharpay and Roger clash once again. After some words, they
Speaker 3: linger on stage death staring at each other, looking to
Speaker 3: see who will break first. Meanwhile, during some alone Doggy
Speaker 3: rest Amber finds Boy and Countess in a dressing room
Speaker 3: and closes the door. And this is where we see
Speaker 3: her true color. She becomes weirdly territorial and aggressive, warning
Speaker 3: the pooches this is her show and she's going to
Speaker 3: figure out a way to get rid of them, even
Speaker 3: insinuating she's going to kill them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, jesus, it got dark real fast. Yeah, got so
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my.
Speaker 2: God, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Even if you're not like a dog lover, how are
Speaker 1: you looking at these two cute little faces? Tell me
Speaker 1: you're gonna.
Speaker 2: You're gonna die? Like, oh my god, yike.
Speaker 1: Amper wow. Definitely not a joint, Yeah, because Kenny would
Speaker 1: never know well.
Speaker 3: And also this one, the Cheeta girls should have shown up.
Speaker 3: They should have sung the dogs out on the stage.
Speaker 3: It would have Yeah, save a dog's life. You get
Speaker 3: cheated girls to sing to them. Everybody knows that.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: Everyone.
Speaker 2: Sharpay's dad tries to video chatter.
Speaker 3: Later in Sharpay's apartment, she freaks out because she thinks
Speaker 3: he's living in a penthouse, which we think he's still
Speaker 3: paying for it twenty seven thousand dollars a month. Peyton
Speaker 3: grabs a computer and they both run out into the
Speaker 3: apartment and run into another room with a big window
Speaker 3: looking out into the sky, which again doesn't really make
Speaker 3: any sense because if she's redone her whole apartment pink,
Speaker 3: why can't you just pick a pink wall and be like, hi, daddy, Yeah, okay.
Speaker 3: When she answers the call, her dad comments on the
Speaker 3: beautiful view and asks how the show is going.
Speaker 2: She says it's complicated, but it'll work out.
Speaker 3: He reminds her of their deal. She has two weeks
Speaker 3: left to get into the show. She assures him that
Speaker 3: everything's going to be fine, but now realizes Boy has
Speaker 3: to get the role.
Speaker 2: Sharpei needs a crushing advantage over Roger, but Peyton thinks
Speaker 2: she should just trust Boy's talent and let Fate take
Speaker 2: it from there. Sharpey can't trust fate. Some matters you
Speaker 2: just have to take in your own hands.
Speaker 3: Sharpey that enters Amber's dressing room just after the Broadway
Speaker 3: star fires her assistant for not getting her a bottle
Speaker 3: of water because she was hit by a bike messenger.
Speaker 3: Amber compliments Sharpei but also calls her Sharpie. Sharpei asked
Speaker 3: about the assistant, and Amber of course lies, saying she quit.
Speaker 3: Sharpei offers to help until she finds a new assistant,
Speaker 3: but it can't affect her decision on which dog gets
Speaker 3: the starring role.
Speaker 2: She couldn't live with herself if she ended up unfair
Speaker 2: Wink wink.
Speaker 3: Amber says, of course it won't, then asks Sharpay to
Speaker 3: make her a dinner reservation for her and get her
Speaker 3: mike adjusted by the sound guy. We're now backstage. Sharpei
Speaker 3: delivers the audio equipment and explains that the wire is
Speaker 3: hurting Amber's scalp, but she thinks it's probably just her shampoo.
Speaker 3: The sound guy looks at her and says, you're hot.
Speaker 3: She's offended, but he meant that her mic.
Speaker 2: It's how he says it too. He meant that her
Speaker 2: mic is hot. The entire theater just heard her insult Amber.
Speaker 3: Sharpey says she could have led with that, then says
Speaker 3: Amberlee is a great scalp and walks away. We're now
Speaker 3: out in New York streets. Sharpey tells Peyton about her
Speaker 3: new position as Amber's assistant, and Peyton thinks this is
Speaker 3: a very bad idea. Sharpey says it's perfect because they'll
Speaker 3: become BFFs. Boy will get the role, and then his
Speaker 3: fame will become her fame. Everything is turning out better
Speaker 3: than she could possibly have imagined. We're back in Sharpey's
Speaker 3: pink Nightmare Layer. She's sleeping and awoken by her phone.
Speaker 3: She picks it up and immediately says.
Speaker 2: Sure, be right over.
Speaker 3: Then that's what we get to Amber's beautiful apartment. All
Speaker 3: these people are wealthy, and the emergency was that she
Speaker 3: couldn't reach her purse in the closet.
Speaker 2: Sharpey can't believe it, but Amber says, oh no, that
Speaker 2: was just a little test.
Speaker 3: Only a true friend would come over at this hour
Speaker 3: and help you with something like that. Sharpay smiles, so
Speaker 3: I passed. Amber says yes, but then actually makes Sharpey
Speaker 3: get the purse. The next morning, Sharpei is holding all
Speaker 3: of Amber's stuff just as a limo arrives to pick
Speaker 3: up her new boss. Sharpey tells her not to forget
Speaker 3: her photo shoot, and Amber says Sharpei is now also
Speaker 3: her stylist.
Speaker 2: She then drives off.
Speaker 3: We're back at Sharpay's apartment and she's getting to work
Speaker 3: on highlighting amberscript, but from across the way, Peyton asks
Speaker 3: her if she wants dinner, but she can't go she
Speaker 3: has to keep highlighting Amber's hair. Later, after highlighting her script,
Speaker 3: Peyton misses spending time with her and shooting her for
Speaker 3: his film. She then snaps him in a little bit
Speaker 3: and says, what she's doing is important too. Again, you're right,
Speaker 3: like how this guy is just eating from her day
Speaker 3: after day and asking for seconds.
Speaker 2: It's not great.
Speaker 1: There needed to be a moment where she needed help
Speaker 1: with something and he's like no, yeah, no, yeah, I'm busy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm having to re edit because you have now bounced
Speaker 1: on me and not helped me at all.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to find something else.
Speaker 3: I might fail out of school, something yeah, something, yeah.
Speaker 3: But he instead just points out to her that she's
Speaker 3: starting to sound a bit like Amberley and speak of
Speaker 3: the Devil. Later Amberley's dressing room, Sharpei drops off a
Speaker 3: bunch of things, and Amber reveals that her maid also quit.
Speaker 3: So here's a new list of chores for her. Sharpay
Speaker 3: nervously questions chores. That's when Amber changes the subject. She
Speaker 3: wants to talk about boy, but it'll have to stay
Speaker 3: between them. She's gonna ask the director to give boy
Speaker 3: the part. Uh huh. Sharpay's excited and promises she won't
Speaker 3: be sorry. Then Amber hands are the chor list talk
Speaker 3: about manipulation. Later in Amber's apartment, we get well a
Speaker 3: series of chores. You know, I love a montage, but
Speaker 3: this wasn't.
Speaker 2: A good one.
Speaker 3: Sharpey's attempting to do laundry, even though she's never done
Speaker 3: it before, so she just throws a bunch of detergent
Speaker 3: in and presses start.
Speaker 2: Actually, she just presses all the buttons. She also tries
Speaker 2: to clean the toilet with the handle.
Speaker 3: Who the heck would do that? Even if you've never
Speaker 3: done this before. You can't tell the handle from the brush.
Speaker 3: Part come on, and the brush gets tangled in her hair.
Speaker 3: We're now back in the theater. The stage manager hands
Speaker 3: Roger a script with changes and asks him to get
Speaker 3: the pages to sharpay, especially because Boy is doing the
Speaker 3: first run through. Roger that little taint, says he's more
Speaker 3: than having to help, but instead he just goes outside
Speaker 3: and throws the pages in the trash.
Speaker 2: What he is? We are now back on the stage.
Speaker 3: Amberlee is rehearsing and Boy runs out from the wrong side.
Speaker 3: The director reveals they change the blocking and wonders what happened.
Speaker 3: Amber has had enough? What is wrong with this dog?
Speaker 3: Boy runs off to Sharpey and the director calls for
Speaker 3: a ten minute break. The stage manager says they sent
Speaker 3: out the script changes, but Boy didn't follow them. Sharpei
Speaker 3: reveals she never got the pages, and she realizes this
Speaker 3: is Roger's fault. She confronts him, and Roger hardly hides
Speaker 3: that he did it on purpose. They argue about whose
Speaker 3: dog is better, but when they look down, both dogs
Speaker 3: are gone. They sprint around the theater calling for the pups.
Speaker 3: Has anybody seen them? Sharpey calls Peyton to tell him
Speaker 3: that the dogs are missing and to look around in
Speaker 3: the apartment just in case they show up again. He's
Speaker 3: there to help her, even though she's awful to him.
Speaker 3: Roger wonders if they push them too hard and just
Speaker 3: hopes they aren't huddled up in a corner somewhere, afraid,
Speaker 3: lost and fighting.
Speaker 2: Then we're in a corner somewhere.
Speaker 3: The two dogs are sitting on a pile of trash,
Speaker 3: and a cover of the song Baby by Justin Bieber plays.
Speaker 3: Why are they on trash? Is it because dogs like garbage?
Speaker 3: Is that what it's supposed to be?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 3: Why Why do they not have them on a park
Speaker 3: bench or in the park? Why are they sitting on
Speaker 3: a giant mount of garbage?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't understand that.
Speaker 2: I didn't either, Okay, I mean, is.
Speaker 1: It because in New York, like you know, the trash
Speaker 1: gets like put on like the street, like is it that? Like?
Speaker 3: I don't know, So why are they there? Why why
Speaker 3: wouldn't they they then show them on this great date?
Speaker 3: So why do they start them in trash?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Did you rep my
Speaker 1: question was? This was one of the did you recognize
Speaker 1: the song? No, the Justin Bieber song Baby?
Speaker 2: No, that's never heard Justin Bieber song in my life.
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean I just did apparently her baby, but
Speaker 3: I'm not and oh no, I take that back. Susan
Speaker 3: insists on playing one Christmas song he does every year.
Speaker 3: She has a Christmas list for when she's decorating the tree,
Speaker 3: and that's one and it's like nine songs on a loop.
Speaker 2: That's one of the songs justin.
Speaker 1: You got to get one of the Cheata girls on
Speaker 1: that loop.
Speaker 2: Did the Cheeta girls do a chris My song Christmas South?
Speaker 1: That's right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, that was your question.
Speaker 2: How did they hire the horse drawn carriage? No?
Speaker 1: It was. I wonder if Will recognizes this song, and
Speaker 1: if he recognizes that it's a cover of this song,
Speaker 1: like it's not even the justin Bieber voice. So that
Speaker 1: was my I was.
Speaker 3: I was wondering, that's out how the two dogs paid
Speaker 3: for the horse drawn carriage.
Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking the whole time. I'm like,
Speaker 2: how do they what?
Speaker 1: Well, it's like the two dogs are on a date.
Speaker 1: You gotta just go with it.
Speaker 2: But I but you know what, I'm sorry. I I was.
Speaker 1: Ready for them to be doing the spaghetti noodle together.
Speaker 2: That's what That's what I was going to say. Do it.
Speaker 3: Do a I'm not to rewrite it, but I'm going
Speaker 3: to do a New York dog date. Meaning like they're
Speaker 3: standing out in the in an alley and it turns
Speaker 3: out that's where they throw out old pizza, and when
Speaker 3: the pizza comes out, the two dogs share a slice
Speaker 3: of pizza. And then they go from there to the
Speaker 3: park where they run around and they chase each other
Speaker 3: in the park and don't have them where they need money.
Speaker 1: It's like, if they were going to be in the carriage,
Speaker 1: there should have been like a little thing on the
Speaker 1: back that they like hopped on the yes.
Speaker 2: The carriage. Yeah, but this guy was like, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: take these two dogs on a cat really, And then
Speaker 2: we see of course, boy kissing countess as they stroll
Speaker 2: through the city. That's great, that's fine. Kiss on the
Speaker 2: first day.
Speaker 3: We're now outside the theater. Sharpei asked, what if we
Speaker 3: never see them again. Roger assures her they're smart dogs,
Speaker 3: smarter than we are.
Speaker 2: They'll be Okay. Sharpay's phone rings, it's her dad, but
Speaker 2: she can't deal with them right now.
Speaker 1: And then Sharpay's phone rings, it's boy.
Speaker 2: It's boy. Yeah, hey, come pick me up. We got
Speaker 2: arrested for not paying the guy who took us around
Speaker 2: the city. And mom, yeah, we're in jail. We're in
Speaker 2: dog jail.
Speaker 3: No, but he's Peyton once again. Good looking Peyton got
Speaker 3: both dogs in his arms. They came back to his apartment.
Speaker 3: Sharpay and Roger are so excited. Now, see I think
Speaker 3: he was if they weren't, If he wasn't there when
Speaker 3: they showed up at the apartment where there to get busy.
Speaker 2: God's what it was. Mom's gone, let's just turn on
Speaker 2: your heart light, let it shine, whatever it goes exactly.
Speaker 3: H Sharpey Roger are so excited, but quickly returned to competition.
Speaker 3: But now they're a little more playful about it.
Speaker 2: There's kind of a smile. Now we're in Sharpay's apartment.
Speaker 3: Peyton is filming again and wonders if she is so
Speaker 3: lost in what she's doing that she hadn't noticed it.
Speaker 3: Boy and Countess are in love. At first, Sharpay denies
Speaker 3: the possibility, but then admits he's right. How could she
Speaker 3: not notice puppy love? Peyton says there's a lot she
Speaker 3: hasn't noticed. M like him, She hasn't had any time
Speaker 3: for him, and he was counting on her to finish
Speaker 3: the film.
Speaker 2: But I think he meant he wanted her. She says
Speaker 2: things have been complicated, but Peyton breaks it to her.
Speaker 3: Amber Lee is using her Sharpey has no idea what
Speaker 3: he's talking about, but he asks where the career determined
Speaker 3: Sharpey has gone.
Speaker 2: She sold her soul to get Boy into the show.
Speaker 2: Sharpay snaps it him.
Speaker 3: Maybe he's just jealous because she's on her way up
Speaker 3: with a new famous friend and he's just a student
Speaker 3: making a film about somebody else's life.
Speaker 2: Yikes.
Speaker 3: He's hurt and reminds her she doesn't have to be
Speaker 3: in his movie and then walks out.
Speaker 2: Then Sharpay's phone rings.
Speaker 3: We cut to Amber Lee's apartment, Sharpey a is signing
Speaker 3: Amber Lee's autographs on headshots.
Speaker 2: Don't ever have somebody else sign your stuff.
Speaker 3: Amber tells her to invite as many people from her
Speaker 3: fan club as possible to opening night dress rehearsal. She
Speaker 3: wants the theater filled with people who love her as
Speaker 3: much as Sharpai does. Amber asks, you know it'll be
Speaker 3: great after all this work a long, luxurious spaath. Sharpey says,
Speaker 3: thank you, that sounds amazing, but Amberlee meant just for her.
Speaker 3: She then instructs her assistant run one for me, will you,
Speaker 3: then throws more headshots at Sharpai to sign We're now
Speaker 3: back at Sharpei, She's sitting with boy and longingly looking
Speaker 3: over Peyton's window.
Speaker 2: And sighs, hmmm. She knows she's lost.
Speaker 3: The next day, in Amberlee's dressing room, the director and
Speaker 3: writer are frustrated, announcing to the star this is a
Speaker 3: big change, but Amber isn't phased. Sharpei discreetly stops at
Speaker 3: the door to listen in. The writer reminds Amber that
Speaker 3: the show is called A Girl's Best Friend, but Amber
Speaker 3: doesn't want them to change the title. The writer argues,
Speaker 3: but you want the best friend written out? Amber thinks
Speaker 3: about it, Oh, right, then change the title. The director
Speaker 3: doesn't understand how they get rid of one of the
Speaker 3: main characters. A day before the dress rehearsal, Amber says
Speaker 3: the audience is coming to see her, and if they
Speaker 3: don't change the dog's part to just debark and a
Speaker 3: playing dead, she won't go on. The MutS are bothering
Speaker 3: her almost as much as their disposable owners. Sharpey is
Speaker 3: still listening outside the door when Amber reveals she even
Speaker 3: had one of them clean her toilet even more embarrassing.
Speaker 3: She thinks she's an actress, and with that, Sharpay starts crying.
Speaker 2: Watch again. She doesn't really and walks away. She tries
Speaker 2: to start crying, Hey.
Speaker 3: As an actor, I'm one of those people. I can't
Speaker 3: cry on cue. I need to build up. I can't
Speaker 3: just cry on cue. So she cries in a later scene,
Speaker 3: but that one she tries it doesn't work. Outside Sharpay's
Speaker 3: apartment building, a sad Sharpei runs into Peyton and tells
Speaker 3: him everything he said was right. Maybe her dad was right.
Speaker 3: She's not ready for this. Did she really think she
Speaker 3: was just gonna come to Broadway to be a star.
Speaker 2: Peyton says, yes she did, because that's how she thinks.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm thinking about. It Cut that whole
Speaker 3: thing about her not crying. It's just hacking, bashing on
Speaker 3: her acting, and.
Speaker 2: I don't want to do that.
Speaker 3: Peyton says, yes she did, because that's how she thinks,
Speaker 3: and it's perfect and if it helps, she still looks
Speaker 3: adorable even when she's disappointed.
Speaker 2: She says that doesn't help.
Speaker 3: Peyton comforts her by saying there's not a marquee big
Speaker 3: enough or lights bright enough to contain the fame she's
Speaker 3: going to have. She knows she's sacrificed integrity for opportunity,
Speaker 3: but worst of all, she's disappointed someone she cares about.
Speaker 3: I think she means Peyton. Peyton wonders, other than maid
Speaker 3: service in a canopy bed, what is it that you want?
Speaker 3: She says, I want you, and then the music starts
Speaker 3: batch out.
Speaker 2: But don't know, that's not what happened. I liked your
Speaker 2: version better, She says.
Speaker 3: I want a fair fight, a lifetime in the spotlight,
Speaker 3: and maybe you'll still let me be in your movie.
Speaker 3: Peyton smiles, I guess, and she puts her head on
Speaker 3: his shoulder. Back in the theater, Sharpey grabs Roger to
Speaker 3: alert him Amber Lee isn't who he thinks, and he
Speaker 3: guesses a self absorbed, two faced panther who would eat
Speaker 3: her young alive on a reality show rather than allow
Speaker 3: anyone to steal her spotlight, and spe admits, Okay, she
Speaker 3: is what you think. Sharpeye tells him that Amber wants
Speaker 3: the dogs written off, and Roger screams that's not fair.
Speaker 3: Now they need to form an alliance and work together
Speaker 3: against Amber Lee. Since tonight is the first dress rehearsal
Speaker 3: with an audience, it'll be filled with members of Amber's
Speaker 3: fan club, so they need to show people exactly who
Speaker 3: she is. He likes the way she thinks and is
Speaker 3: down for anything. It's manipulative, but for a good cause.
Speaker 3: On the side of the stage now, Sharpey arrives and
Speaker 3: Amber wonders where she's been. She's been trying to reach
Speaker 3: her all day. Sharpey says her phone must have been off,
Speaker 3: and Amber is offended. Without asking me first, Sharpay just
Speaker 3: wanted to wish her good luck. She knows Amber chose
Speaker 3: Countess for the performance and she's fine. With that, Amberlee explains, well,
Speaker 3: it's nothing personal, but your phone was shut off so
Speaker 3: I couldn't talk to you about it. I guess that
Speaker 3: won't happen again, will it. Sharpey says, We're good. They
Speaker 3: awkwardly hug and mid embrace. Sharpey turns her mic pack.
Speaker 2: On oh, a call back from when she was hot.
Speaker 3: And now we look at the theater. It is filled
Speaker 3: with Amber fans. You could tell because they're all wearing shirts.
Speaker 3: The writer and director take the stage and introduce the show,
Speaker 3: while backstage, Roger lets out both Countess and boy who
Speaker 3: run to Amber backstage. And now I have a question,
Speaker 3: which you might know, because you know this world better
Speaker 3: than I do.
Speaker 2: Is this a real thing?
Speaker 3: Like? I know, dress rehearsals are obviously a real thing.
Speaker 3: But do the writer and director get on stage and
Speaker 3: announce everything? Don't they just do a dress rehearsal like
Speaker 3: they would a regular show?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Not.
Speaker 1: I mean if it was like a dress rehearsal, it
Speaker 1: would be like think because you would be like friends
Speaker 1: and family, like you would be like thank you, guys,
Speaker 1: like you put a lot of work into this. We
Speaker 1: hope you love it, you know, gotcha here for the
Speaker 1: first time.
Speaker 3: Is I don't know the Broadway thing that well, so
Speaker 3: that okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Then I don't know how often they do this, though
Speaker 1: full dress a Broadway that would be the dream, But
Speaker 1: I don't know how often they do this. Like, but
Speaker 1: I would imagine for a brand new show, when you're
Speaker 1: inviting like a friends and family type thing, like a
Speaker 1: first look, Yeah, you'd have the people get up on
Speaker 1: stage that I.
Speaker 3: Will guarantee to you, and you'll probably be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: we talked about it. I will guarantee you somewhere at
Speaker 3: some level they talked about doing Cheatah Girls on Broadway.
Speaker 3: I will guarantee you somewhere in the Disney realm they
Speaker 3: talked about it, and it's perfect. It lends itself perfectly
Speaker 3: to Broadway. You know that conversation happened in some room
Speaker 3: at Disney where they were like, you know, this could
Speaker 3: be a Broadway show one hundred percent that happened. Yeah anyway,
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, they take the stage. Roger lets out both
Speaker 3: countess and boy who run to amber. Backstage amber breaks
Speaker 3: screaming for someone to control these wanna be werewolves, and
Speaker 3: with the hot mic on the audience can hear it all.
Speaker 3: She yells, this is why she didn't want to do
Speaker 3: a show with dogs, because she's the star.
Speaker 2: She wants someone to put.
Speaker 3: These rats with rabies out of their misery and calls
Speaker 3: the stage manager an idiot for taking too long. Sharp
Speaker 3: Pay signals for the curtain to go up, revealing Amber,
Speaker 3: who continues to freak out and ridicule her fans who
Speaker 3: heard everything she just said. Everyone starts booing, and she
Speaker 3: runs off stage. Sharpay is waiting for her backstage. Obviously,
Speaker 3: I knew I forgot to tell you something careful.
Speaker 2: Your MIC's on.
Speaker 3: Amber knows Sharpei did this, but Sharpay tells Amber she
Speaker 3: did it to herself. She explains, I idolized you even
Speaker 3: more than myself, which is an easy But you're not
Speaker 3: all You're not at all what I thought you were.
Speaker 3: Amber Lee tells Sharpey that they are exactly alike. Sharpe says,
Speaker 3: except she doesn't use people to feel better about herself.
Speaker 3: Amber quits right on the spot and walks out without her.
Speaker 3: There isn't a show. Sharpey apologizes, but somebody had to
Speaker 3: say it. The director says he'll try to talk some
Speaker 3: sense into amber and kick Sharpei out of his theater.
Speaker 3: Sharpey starts to leave, but Roger calls out to her,
Speaker 3: if you go, then I'll go. But no, she convinces
Speaker 3: him to stay. He deserves it. They hug and the
Speaker 3: enemies have become friends.
Speaker 1: I Love it.
Speaker 3: Later, at Sharpay's apartment, Sharpey, here's a knock at the
Speaker 3: door and it's Peyton. He asks if she's really leaving,
Speaker 3: and she says yes, but she wishes she wasn't. She's
Speaker 3: moving home where there's enough room for her pores to open,
Speaker 3: where she can spend months in the spa, get in
Speaker 3: the New York, crime off her skin, and she'll mostly
Speaker 3: just miss him.
Speaker 2: He asks about her dream of being a star, and
Speaker 2: she says it wasn't really, it wasn't reality.
Speaker 3: She moved exactly one month ago and her time is
Speaker 3: up tonight, but Peyton points out she still has eight hours.
Speaker 3: Her phone rings. It's the stage manager. They need her
Speaker 3: at the theater to clear out boys things. Peyton says
Speaker 3: he can go with her if she wants, and she does.
Speaker 3: At the theater, the director is telling the cast that
Speaker 3: without a star, they can't open the time it would
Speaker 3: take to find someone who can learn the role and
Speaker 3: do it well, would take weeks and cost too much.
Speaker 3: Isn't that what understudies are for? And doesn't every show
Speaker 3: have one thing? And then Sharpey and Peyton arrive. The
Speaker 3: writer and director thanked the crew for their hard work,
Speaker 3: and they apologize everyone is leaving. When Peyton yells out, wait,
Speaker 3: it's not over. He points out that someone knows the
Speaker 3: part and is amazing. She might not be a star yet,
Speaker 3: but she will be. He pulls out his laptop and
Speaker 3: shows video of Sharpei rehearsing and singing New York's Best
Speaker 3: Kept Secret while holding boy. It's a big emotional solo.
Speaker 3: That's really boring and I hated it. What did you think, Sabrina?
Speaker 1: This to me? I mean we were kind of bouncing around.
Speaker 1: You asked me earlier if I liked the stuff where
Speaker 1: you just kind of break out or the things that
Speaker 1: are staged, and like this was like sort of in
Speaker 1: between the hybrid bit. Yeah, yeah, and it was, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean it it is the essence of what Sharpei
Speaker 1: is supposed to be, but it wasn't the big, bubbaly Sharpei.
Speaker 1: It was just a different work of it, and I
Speaker 1: I didn't love it. At this point, I'm my bar
Speaker 1: has just continued to lower as far as like my
Speaker 1: expected expectations of these musical numbers. So it's kind of like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I get it, like this is her like Broadway moment
Speaker 1: is what I'm assuming that this is supposed to be.
Speaker 1: And I took it for what it was. I didn't
Speaker 1: hate it. I just didn't like Again, it just was
Speaker 1: not a song that I that I loved. I didn't
Speaker 1: love any of the music in this movie.
Speaker 2: I can't remember a single one of the songs.
Speaker 3: I can still hum get Your Head in the Game
Speaker 3: from the first High School Musical, but I have no
Speaker 3: idea what any of these songs are.
Speaker 2: And I watched it last night.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not kidding. And this is not like a
Speaker 1: disc to Ashley Tisdale and this as far as like
Speaker 1: her vocal chords or her vocals in it. But truly,
Speaker 1: the only songs that I remember are the Ally and
Speaker 1: AJ walking on Sunshine and the Justin Bieber cover.
Speaker 2: Oh Yeah, Ashley and still Killing That Sucks.
Speaker 1: And this I kept thinking too, And this is a
Speaker 1: question for Lisa. Was this closer or ast like far
Speaker 1: after when she put out her album, because at this
Speaker 1: point she.
Speaker 3: Put album in two thousand and seven in this movie
Speaker 3: was twenty eleven.
Speaker 1: Okay, so this point Ashley has done an album and
Speaker 1: has golden gold like did music videos for it, became
Speaker 1: a full blown out album. Oh that she has had
Speaker 1: done two albums maybe since then or before this. So
Speaker 1: it's like for me, I'm like, it's like what a
Speaker 1: what It's like a missed opportunity to like showcase your
Speaker 1: your talents of the actor that you've hired to do.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: I just didn't like the songs. Again, she can clearly
Speaker 2: sing them, she can perform them, and it doesn't make.
Speaker 1: Sense because they have a wheelhouse of incredible producers and
Speaker 1: incredible where where were we? Where were we in this movie?
Speaker 2: I agree?
Speaker 1: I agree?
Speaker 3: Yes, so yes, she's singing New York's best kept secret,
Speaker 3: a holding Boy. The video ends with the writer director
Speaker 3: saying she has more depth, range, and tone in one
Speaker 3: note than Amberley has in her entire surgically reshaped body.
Speaker 2: They need her to save the show. Sharpay is flattered.
Speaker 2: The costumes will need to be taken in a few
Speaker 2: sizes and everyone needs to get used to hearing the
Speaker 2: songs on key. Yeah. Two great cuts, two great cuts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great line. Yeah, this is great, But
Speaker 3: there is one condition. Boy and Countess would split the
Speaker 3: dog roll equally. The director agrees, and now they have
Speaker 3: a lot of work to do. Sharpay, thanks Peyton, but
Speaker 3: worries she isn't ready. Peyton promise her she's ready, it's
Speaker 3: her moment, and.
Speaker 2: Then oh they kiss. That's right. It was a fine kiss.
Speaker 2: Like even the kiss was kind of like, Okay.
Speaker 1: This is what I wanted to ask as far as
Speaker 1: the timing, did this movie happen when her best friend's
Speaker 1: new boyfriend or before they became boyfriend and girlfriend, because
Speaker 1: that would be sameird.
Speaker 2: So you got to see yeah, who.
Speaker 1: Knows that would be weird to see your best friend
Speaker 1: kissing a brand new boyfriend or your crush that you're
Speaker 1: not together with.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, we know we're timing weird.
Speaker 1: I got weird.
Speaker 2: It was weird.
Speaker 3: Timing, but it was but again, it was a fine
Speaker 3: kiss coming off like a slum slumber party kiss, which
Speaker 3: we loved, and the what we saw something else too.
Speaker 2: We're like, oh, good kiss. Yeah, this was this was fine.
Speaker 2: This was fine.
Speaker 1: This was fine.
Speaker 2: That's that's kind of the word for this movie. This
Speaker 2: movie was fine anyway.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so uh now it's and by the way, nothing
Speaker 3: creepy at all about a fifty year old man talking
Speaker 3: about all the different dcom vases.
Speaker 2: Anyway, drop my job.
Speaker 1: Hey, listen, you not you did a lot of kissing
Speaker 1: in your day on the channel or well on on ABC.
Speaker 1: You know it's like you did, know, like you had
Speaker 1: to do this a lot. Oh yeah, as much as
Speaker 1: I've done dancing. And I'm that you're kind of like
Speaker 1: you get to.
Speaker 3: Rate without a being is Yeah, definitely and kidding and
Speaker 3: I was. I was second to Right or Strong who
Speaker 3: did it even way more than I did.
Speaker 2: So yeah, crazy, true, crazy.
Speaker 1: That's true. Maybe we should have a segment one day
Speaker 1: with Ryder Judges the kiss great idea.
Speaker 2: That's what we're gonna have to do.
Speaker 3: We're gonna have to have Ryder Strong, come on, Judge
Speaker 3: the team kisses. Great idea that's coming up. That's a
Speaker 3: brilliant idea, Sabrina. That's gonna happen for our for our
Speaker 3: award show. We're gonna have Rider Strong give the best award.
Speaker 1: There we go h.
Speaker 3: It is now the sold out opening night of a
Speaker 3: girl's best friend. Sharpay's faces all over the posters throughout
Speaker 3: the theater. We see your parents in the audience, meeting Peyton.
Speaker 3: The lights dim, and the show begins with Sharpay and
Speaker 3: Boy singing the rest of My Life. And this was
Speaker 3: the one that was the best of the movie. Frankly,
Speaker 3: I thought, do you agree?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, out of all of them, yes, this would
Speaker 1: be the best one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1: Still still second to walk on.
Speaker 2: Oh, exact, exact from all and a of course agreed.
Speaker 3: The song ends and we get a close up of
Speaker 3: Sharpay and Boy, and that's our.
Speaker 2: Movie, okay.
Speaker 3: Post credits, there was supposed to be a scene of
Speaker 3: her brother, Brian Evans played by high school musical legend
Speaker 3: Lucas Grabio, in a cameo appearance, visiting Sharpay in New
Speaker 3: York and congratulating her, but it wasn't in the Disney
Speaker 3: Plus cut, so it was they shot it. It was
Speaker 3: seen in the Disney Channel version, but for some reason
Speaker 3: they didn't put it on the.
Speaker 2: Disney Plus version, so he was in the original Disney.
Speaker 3: Channel version as an after scene. Also the idea and
Speaker 3: I get it's an extra on the DVD. But the
Speaker 3: idea that we never get to see this movie, that
Speaker 3: this guy's been shooting the whole time is insane to me.
Speaker 3: I was like, all right, so I'm waiting for She
Speaker 3: doesn't believe in herself. She doesn't know how to look
Speaker 3: at herself. She looked and he's like, let me see.
Speaker 3: Let me show you what I see and he cuts
Speaker 3: together this amazing movie and she's like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: I love you and kisses him.
Speaker 2: How do you buckle that layup? It's like, are you
Speaker 2: kidding me?
Speaker 3: We don't ever get a chance to see it, and
Speaker 3: it's an extra on a Maybe I mean that might
Speaker 3: have been one of their selling points for the DVD.
Speaker 3: It's like, if you want to see the movie, it's
Speaker 3: an extra, so you sell it. But that's kind of
Speaker 3: a cheat when it comes to the movie. It's like,
Speaker 3: show the movie.
Speaker 2: This guy's been shooting inside the movie this whole time,
Speaker 2: or part of.
Speaker 1: It, because he's the this whole movie of it is
Speaker 1: what actually saves the day. But all we saw was
Speaker 1: like number. We didn't see that the evolution as Sharpey
Speaker 1: from the day she got into New York to what
Speaker 1: she is now over this last month like that's the winner.
Speaker 1: That's what gets people to fall in love with her
Speaker 1: and gets her hired for this show.
Speaker 2: Not just one number, but that's that one. I was like,
Speaker 2: how do we not get to see this? But anyway
Speaker 2: it is Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know they actually they actually thought of that. This
Speaker 1: is a fund to bit when in the Cheetah Girls too.
Speaker 1: There's a time definitely in strut where I've got a camera. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've got a camera when we first get to Barcelona,
Speaker 1: and I've got a camera a lot during the movie,
Speaker 1: and it was an afterthought of you know, it would
Speaker 1: have been really cool to have Durnta actually filming stuff
Speaker 1: camera do something with that, like because it was a
Speaker 1: real camera. Yeah, and it wasn't It wasn't on ever
Speaker 1: or you know there was that yeah charge always they
Speaker 1: were like yeah, they were like, that would have actually
Speaker 1: been a really cool thing to do on the DVD.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a part of my thing. It was just
Speaker 1: something that I had all the time. It was like
Speaker 1: a prop that I had all the time.
Speaker 2: With durrind Division.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like that would have been and they didn't think
Speaker 1: about it until after, So then they didn't have any
Speaker 1: footage to like, even just like somewhat put that together.
Speaker 2: You've got a character in your movie always carrying a camera.
Speaker 2: Just turn the camera on.
Speaker 3: Yeah the footage. Who knows what you're gonna do with it.
Speaker 3: You may do nothing but just turn the camera on. Right, So, yeah,
Speaker 3: this one was weird. But actually, let's do some real reviews.
Speaker 3: We know what, we kind of know, we think about it.
Speaker 3: Let's see what other people think. I've got the one
Speaker 3: star this week, and it's from Kaiser Holiday okay, and
Speaker 3: it reads as thus, I created an account just so
Speaker 3: I could review this movie.
Speaker 2: What a mess.
Speaker 3: It didn't need to be made. Story, boring, acting beyond awful.
Speaker 3: Zero thought was put into the story in the script,
Speaker 3: and it shows one star. I think it's overly harsh.
Speaker 3: But anyway, you've got the five star?
Speaker 2: What do you got?
Speaker 1: The five stars actually kind of confusing today because it
Speaker 1: seems like we're getting in a five star, but then
Speaker 1: at the end it's kind of like it's fine. I
Speaker 1: know again, I love it, okay, o Ganley five stars
Speaker 1: just amazing, the best spinoff. It has tons of puppies
Speaker 1: and cute dogs in general. The two things wrong in
Speaker 1: this film is the lack of Ryan Bruh. He's not
Speaker 1: even in the movie rude. Secondly, the songs are not
Speaker 1: as bang in as high school musical songs. The only
Speaker 1: good one is the song at the end, which slaps
Speaker 1: hard five stars, five stars, five three.
Speaker 2: Star review right there, yes, exactly.
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, Ganley, which it sounds like a character
Speaker 3: from Lord of the Rings. We are now coming to
Speaker 3: Sabrina's favorite portion of the program, of course, where we
Speaker 3: are doing our future presentation.
Speaker 2: We've got a fun game today.
Speaker 3: First of all, who were playing with you have michayla Hey.
Speaker 2: Michaela, Michaela. There we go, alright, copyright trademark. Thank everyone.
Speaker 2: Our feature today is called the Government Name Game.
Speaker 3: We can all agree that Sharpey Evans is a great
Speaker 3: moniker for fame, but not all birth names have the
Speaker 3: same ready for Broadway status. So we're going to get
Speaker 3: the legal government names of stars and have to guess
Speaker 3: what their stage names became.
Speaker 2: For example, Olivia Cockburn is Olivia Wilde, who I believe
Speaker 2: made a good choice. We'll get to pick from multiple
Speaker 2: choice options. Three out of five wins. Okay, number one?
Speaker 3: Oh wow, sure, I'm even gonna be able to pronounce
Speaker 3: this properly. Demitria Guinis. Is that a Cindy Crawford, B.
Speaker 3: Demi Moore see Halle Berry or D Jada Pinkett Smith.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with mmmm.
Speaker 3: It's either see yeah, I'm gonna say I'll pick first
Speaker 3: because I think I know mine. Okay, I'm I think
Speaker 3: it's gonna be Demi Moore, right, Demetria.
Speaker 1: To me, I think it's Jada Pinkett Smith.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna stick with B.
Speaker 1: Demi Moore, will is correct, B Demi Moore.
Speaker 2: Dimitria Demi? I mean I figured, yeah, that.
Speaker 1: Seemed to each too too easy. Demi Levado's first name
Speaker 1: is Demetria too, so that gave it.
Speaker 2: A Demitrios if it's a pretty name.
Speaker 1: Actually, that's a pretty name. I like Demi as a nickname.
Speaker 2: To tho or is it to me? Number two?
Speaker 3: Eric Bishop? Is that a Bruno Mars, B. Kat Williams
Speaker 3: see Jamie Fox or D Eddie Murphy. I don't think
Speaker 3: it's Eddie Murphy because his brother's Charlie Murphy, so I
Speaker 3: think they're the Murphy's.
Speaker 2: Okay, Uh, what do you think?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Bruno Mars.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna agree with you, a Bruno Mars wrong, it's
Speaker 3: see Jamie Fox.
Speaker 1: Eric.
Speaker 2: So we're one and one.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't get I didn't get it right. I'm
Speaker 1: oh in two.
Speaker 3: Oh that's right, I'm one and one per us number three,
Speaker 3: Chloe Hoffman. Is that a Brenda song? B Miley Cyrus
Speaker 3: see Ariana Grande or d Dove Cameron?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: I do know Miley Cyrus is not Okay her real name?
Speaker 2: Oh? I thought you're gonna know that it wasn't Chloe Hoffman.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's not it's not her real name. She has
Speaker 1: something else, which I'm sure Mikaela or someone will be
Speaker 1: able to tell us. But I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: Chloe Hoffman.
Speaker 2: I'm just for the hell of it, just because we
Speaker 2: just watched one of her movies.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna pick d Dove Cameron, right, But I'm just
Speaker 3: I'm just picking one.
Speaker 2: No idea.
Speaker 1: I'm going to do Deaf Kevin too, because I don't
Speaker 1: think it's Aria Grande or Brenda's song.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, you're correct, it's Cameron.
Speaker 1: What's Miley Cyrus's name? For an extra point? Destiny Sidney
Speaker 1: Hope okay, see.
Speaker 2: I mean, but Destiny Hope sounds exactly like a Disney
Speaker 2: Channel star.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think she changed it legally though. That was
Speaker 1: like her birth name, and then they called her Smiley
Speaker 1: Miley and that's how Miley came about. Miley Miley was
Speaker 1: Yeah that I knew.
Speaker 2: It was like a nickname of some where does Miley
Speaker 2: come from?
Speaker 1: Just like Smiley, Like she was very Smiley, So they
Speaker 1: shortened it to Miley Smiley Miley.
Speaker 2: So it just started right.
Speaker 3: Number four. Karen Johnson, I'm just so everybody knows it's Karen.
Speaker 3: It's c A R y N Karen Jhonnes.
Speaker 1: Never seen Karen. It's felt this way.
Speaker 3: I don't think I have either. Is that a nicky Glazer?
Speaker 3: B Nicki Minaj? See what be Goldberg or d Oprah Winfrey.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go and see what be Goldberg because that
Speaker 1: would be Charasee.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Wait.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with be nick Minaj. I'm changing it.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with de Oprah Winfrey, Sabrina, it was
Speaker 3: see Whoopy Goldberg.
Speaker 2: Manberg?
Speaker 1: How does she get there?
Speaker 3: I need the stories you have officially lost. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: I need this one to win. Okay, so number five
Speaker 3: Margaret and Hira.
Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 3: Oh Emma Stone, b faith Hill, see Meg Ryan or
Speaker 3: d Julia Roberts.
Speaker 2: Oh do you know it?
Speaker 1: No? I would assume it'd be Meg Ryan though.
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna guess. I'm gonna say maybe Meg Margaret.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I was gonna say Emma Stone. I'm throwing
Speaker 3: that out there now in case I'm wrong, but I'll
Speaker 3: go with you see Meg Ryan, because You're right, Margaret
Speaker 3: and Meg Y with Meg Ryan.
Speaker 1: I don't even know how that. We gotta tell Jensen that,
Speaker 1: like you really got to come back because things are
Speaker 1: wapping and weird over here.
Speaker 2: Oh man, can we do a Sabrina Ces please? We can.
Speaker 1: We already talked about that and my one of my
Speaker 1: first things. As soon as Austin Butler gets on there,
Speaker 1: it was like Vanessa Hudgens new boo, when is this happening?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm freaked out. Like right from the start,
Speaker 1: I couldn't get off of it. I already said to
Speaker 1: my favorite line of the entire movie was closet with
Speaker 1: a tongue, hands down. We've already gone through so much
Speaker 1: of this one thing we didn't talk about was when
Speaker 1: she gets to the audition and then he goes here
Speaker 1: he explains the audition. I know, obviously this is kind
Speaker 1: of like a you know, a turn in the storyline,
Speaker 1: but like, why couldn't there have been an email, a call,
Speaker 1: a text, a something to know? Like she got there
Speaker 1: just to be told she had an audition for the
Speaker 1: next day.
Speaker 3: That felt weird, but he just hands he just hands
Speaker 3: the paper to an eleven year old kid and is like,
Speaker 3: now take care of this for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was very weird.
Speaker 1: So it was so weird. There was definitely to me.
Speaker 1: As much as I love the dogs, the like turn
Speaker 1: of the dogs having their own like b story was
Speaker 1: kind of a little too much for me. It was
Speaker 1: kind of like and although they were so cute, but like,
Speaker 1: you know, the date again with the with the edits,
Speaker 1: we could have given them, it would have been better,
Speaker 1: but like it was just kind of like, where are
Speaker 1: we going with this movie? Now we're in the middle
Speaker 1: of a dog love story? Like okay, then oh, the chores.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I had told you this story
Speaker 1: or not, but when she's doing the chores and then
Speaker 1: it was like the toilet thing and it was like,
Speaker 1: you can't even do it. It made me think of
Speaker 1: the first movie when it's when it gets revealed that
Speaker 1: I am having to like pay for my Derinda as
Speaker 1: Bernie Derinda has actually has to work to be able
Speaker 1: to like pay for her dance lessons and stuff. There's
Speaker 1: a part where I have a mop and the director
Speaker 1: called me out. So I had never been so embarrassed
Speaker 1: on set before. I called me out and was like
Speaker 1: what cut?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 1: Rina? What do you? What are you doing? And I'm
Speaker 1: like mopping And they're like he's like have you have
Speaker 1: you ever done this before? And I was like, no, oz,
Speaker 1: I have never mopped before.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Do you not know how to?
Speaker 1: Why I was doing?
Speaker 3: I don't know?
Speaker 1: But it seriously still doesn't seem like it was that
Speaker 1: hot hard, but like honestly, like who can't even like
Speaker 1: fake moppy? I was so embarrassed Bill, Like I called
Speaker 1: my dad. I remember when I got home back to
Speaker 1: my hotel, going dad, why didn't mom or you ever
Speaker 1: teach me how to mop? I just got completely embarrassed
Speaker 1: on stack.
Speaker 2: It seemed like something that needs to.
Speaker 1: Be something I'd have to take, like what that was
Speaker 1: one of the honestly, still to this day, probably one
Speaker 1: of the most embarrassing things.
Speaker 2: Imagine.
Speaker 1: I was so little. I was like eighteen, Like I'm
Speaker 1: mopping right, and he's like, no, you get in there.
Speaker 1: You have to squeeze it. What do you You're just
Speaker 1: getting the whole set. So anyway, that killed me. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, gosh, I mean, I guess whatever, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is a question for you. So the first time,
Speaker 1: which is weird because he to me, was very essential
Speaker 1: in what I think would have really brought a different
Speaker 1: aspect to this movie was the absence of Ryan, like
Speaker 1: her brother. But the first time I actually clicked to
Speaker 1: me that we were missing him was when she referenced him.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought about him until that.
Speaker 3: Oh I was I assumed somebody from the high school
Speaker 3: musical world.
Speaker 1: Somebody someone cameo of nobody, anyone, not a call, not
Speaker 1: in anything, which was crazy to me, and he would
Speaker 1: have been obviously the one, but like I didn't. It's
Speaker 1: weird that I didn't think about him specifically in it, right,
Speaker 1: like a best friend call to to Vanessa Hudgens, as
Speaker 1: we heard was done it possibly something happening with her
Speaker 1: didn't but it was weird.
Speaker 3: It was very like technically the brother was there, we
Speaker 3: just didn't see it in this verse right.
Speaker 1: Right, And then I asked you about you're justice. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's it.
Speaker 2: That was it.
Speaker 1: I do hope that one day I do figure out
Speaker 1: the timeline of this Vanessa and Austin you'll get there.
Speaker 3: Gonna drive me crazy when Vanessa gonna have to google
Speaker 3: when Austin Butler finally comes on this show.
Speaker 1: He's coming next week, right, I.
Speaker 2: Think we got him next Obviously we don't. For now.
Speaker 2: It's the time of our program, of course, where we
Speaker 2: rate the film we just saw. We're gonna do one
Speaker 2: out of ten.
Speaker 3: We're gonna make ten the middle, We're gonna make one
Speaker 3: the third from the top, and we're gonna make eight
Speaker 3: the best one we can do.
Speaker 2: No, let's do tennis the best. That's easy. And our
Speaker 2: options today.
Speaker 3: Are ten pink purse DVDs for ten dollars, New Mexican
Speaker 3: fashion shows, matching pink plaid suitcases I know one, and
Speaker 3: the ones that Sabrina wants one out of ten, closet
Speaker 3: tongues one out of ten, pink hurricanes fixed, New York
Speaker 3: Street Games, Dog entourages one out of ten angry Union members,
Speaker 3: one out of ten marinated feet, or one out of ten.
Speaker 3: Olivia Cockburns, I think I get to pick this time,
Speaker 3: and because I know you liked it, it made you laugh,
Speaker 3: We're gonna do closet tongues this time.
Speaker 2: I also think it's I go first this time you do.
Speaker 2: This movie was absolutely fine.
Speaker 3: There was nothing really bad about this movie and nothing
Speaker 3: really good about this movie. This movie was absolutely fine.
Speaker 3: I will say the good thing is talent of the cast. Yes,
Speaker 3: you can't watch Ashley Tisdale and not know that she's
Speaker 3: a star.
Speaker 2: She's obvious.
Speaker 3: Oh wait for the record, Google says they met in
Speaker 3: two thousand and six, but didn't reconnect until twenty eleven.
Speaker 1: Ish okay, so still not sure if they like they're
Speaker 1: dating and watching your friend Ashley.
Speaker 3: Being mutual friend probably helped. Yeah, he probably got them
Speaker 3: back into anyway.
Speaker 1: Well, she was such a big fan of I mean, yeah.
Speaker 2: What yes, So this movie was fine.
Speaker 3: With any lesser cast, this would be a five right
Speaker 3: down the middle. It's not good, it's not bad. It's
Speaker 3: got a great cast. Like I said, Ashley Tillsdale is
Speaker 3: a star. You watch her I'm not sure that this
Speaker 3: character was worthy of a full movie themselves, or or
Speaker 3: let's put it this way, not this version of it.
Speaker 3: I would like to have seen a different version of
Speaker 3: a Sharpay movie with other wacky people around her and
Speaker 3: crazy as opposed to trying to take pay more mainstream
Speaker 3: which are strange.
Speaker 2: That being said, great cast, it was what it was.
Speaker 3: I think I'm fair in giving this six closet tongues
Speaker 3: all the way around. I think that's a fair assessment
Speaker 3: of this film. I really do.
Speaker 1: I agree with you, and I think what I needed
Speaker 1: was I need a little bit more familiarity than what
Speaker 1: we got with this. I needed some of the high
Speaker 1: school musical OG's to come be a part of it,
Speaker 1: help her like something I needed. Kenny Ortega, Yeah, I need.
Speaker 1: I needed something that. And it's not that this director
Speaker 1: wasn't you know, good, It wasn't that. It's just if
Speaker 1: it's going to be a spin off of high school musical,
Speaker 1: I need to feel the high school musical vibe and
Speaker 1: this movie didn't do that. Sharpay's character wasn't enough to
Speaker 1: just do that right. She didn't get the stepping stone
Speaker 1: in that platform of what you would have thought she
Speaker 1: would have had right, But again it was okay. It
Speaker 1: was fine. The music, it being a musical spin off
Speaker 1: from a very big musical franchise of Disney and the
Speaker 1: music not being the level of high school musical was hard.
Speaker 1: It was hard to watch for Ashley right, like, for
Speaker 1: this amazing actress and this gorgeous, wonderful character that we loved.
Speaker 1: Same thing. I'm giving it like just you know again,
Speaker 1: had it been anyone else, would have gone down even more.
Speaker 1: But this is a six point five closet tongues for me.
Speaker 3: Okay, I think we're I think we're right on the
Speaker 3: same boat and I agree.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you so much for joining.
Speaker 3: Us for this episode and taking that wild pink ride
Speaker 3: with us.
Speaker 1: Did love the sets, although you didn't like them. I
Speaker 1: thought they were cool. They were clueless divees, they were pink. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a mix between clueless and legally launch.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I thought the same. Loved it.
Speaker 1: I think that I'm so down for that. I love
Speaker 1: that whole situation, thought the Sesson.
