Speaker 1: Have you ever done any of those uh mystery dinners
Speaker 1: where it's like you're eating dinner and the guy next
Speaker 1: to you drops dead, and now you gotta can't finish
Speaker 1: your salad because now you've got to figure out who
Speaker 1: killed the dude next to you. Your dumb But.
Speaker 2: If you ever host one, I'd like to, because I
Speaker 2: really do think i'd be so good at it.
Speaker 1: I think you should. To me, it's just a meal ruined. Frankly,
Speaker 1: but it's like I'm trying to try and eat my bread.
Speaker 1: I why are you fake bleeding all over the table
Speaker 1: at this point?
Speaker 3: I would love it.
Speaker 2: I would love I would love to host one, but
Speaker 2: I can't until I've gone to one.
Speaker 1: That's fair enough. Are you titillated by the mystery genre?
Speaker 1: He asks you. Are you're a big fan of mysteries favorites?
Speaker 1: What are your favorites?
Speaker 2: I think I like to read them more or do
Speaker 2: audio books more, And in that sense, I just whip
Speaker 2: through them so I find like an author or something
Speaker 2: keep going, going, going, so it's like a marathon. So
Speaker 2: I never remember the names of the books. I just
Speaker 2: look back and someone asked me, I'll go on my
Speaker 2: list of what I've listened to and then I'll send
Speaker 2: them this was good, I think.
Speaker 1: So the mystery for you is actually the title of
Speaker 1: the book.
Speaker 3: I like murder mysteries, or that I love that kind
Speaker 3: of stuff.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, then let's talk about one, because we've got
Speaker 1: one for you this week. But first, welcome back to
Speaker 1: Magical Rewind, the show that makes you want to grab
Speaker 1: your friends, your pjs, and your popcorn and go back
Speaker 1: to a time when all the houses were smart, the waves,
Speaker 1: tsunamis and the high School's musical.
Speaker 3: I'm Wilford Dell and I'm Sabrina Brien.
Speaker 1: Let's get ready to sleuth people, because we're jumping right
Speaker 1: into a mystery today with two thousand and two's Lindsey
Speaker 1: lohand dcom vehicle Get a Clue the Who Done It?
Speaker 1: Which I'm calling butter knives out? Huh everybody there, Okay,
Speaker 1: forget it. I won't, I won't, I won't harp. It
Speaker 1: premiered on June twenty eight, two thousand and two, and
Speaker 1: it's remarkable for one major milestone. With one point two
Speaker 1: million viewers, it marked the first d COM debut, clocking
Speaker 1: in with over a million on its first broadcast. So hey,
Speaker 1: there's something for people. It broke the million mark. That's
Speaker 1: pretty great. This was also the third and final contracted
Speaker 1: Disney film for Lindsay Lohan, who marked her release from
Speaker 1: the three picture deal she originally had with the studio.
Speaker 1: Can you name the other two she was in?
Speaker 2: Sabrina Well, it's crazy to think because she's so much
Speaker 2: older looking than Parent Trap.
Speaker 3: But that was one. That's one was Freaky Friday another
Speaker 3: or no.
Speaker 1: No, I had never heard of the other one. It's
Speaker 1: called Life Size. Yeah, that was my reaction as well. Anyway,
Speaker 1: directly after Get a Clue came her major breakout, Freaky
Speaker 1: Fridy eight alongside Jamie Lee Curtis. Oh, apparently we are
Speaker 1: learning from producer Lisa that Tyra Banks. Oh was I okay?
Speaker 3: I know? Tier Banks was a manniquin. Am I right?
Speaker 3: She was a mannequin that becomes.
Speaker 1: Like, okay, well that makes sense with Life Size, yes, okay,
Speaker 1: which again was different than the movie we talked about
Speaker 1: mannequin with Catral that was different. Anyway. Freaky Friday alongside
Speaker 1: Jamie Lee Curtis, another Disney movie. So she didn't run
Speaker 1: for Mickey Mouse or anything. She just started doing. You know,
Speaker 1: she wasn't on her three picture deal anymore when she
Speaker 1: was doing some other stuff. This movie was shot in
Speaker 1: Wait for It People, Canada, Yes, primarily in Toronto, with
Speaker 1: exterior shots obviously in New York City. And since the
Speaker 1: movie was shot in March of two thousand and one,
Speaker 1: months before nine eleven, that means that shots with the
Speaker 1: Twin Towers included were actually edited out later. We think
Speaker 1: so after the trash happened. That happened a lot in
Speaker 1: film and right now, And the school itself, Millington Prep,
Speaker 1: was actually Bishop Straitchen School in the up North DCOM capital,
Speaker 1: So think I think we're saying that right it was
Speaker 1: school by some Bishop. Get a Clue got a lot
Speaker 1: of play in the summer of two thousand and two,
Speaker 1: ranking up a ton of reruns hoping to bank on
Speaker 1: Lohan's obviously rising star and recently, with Lohan's co star
Speaker 1: DCOM Hall of Famer Brenda Song doing press for her
Speaker 1: new movie The last show Girl, Get a Clue came up.
Speaker 1: In an interview with Bussel, Song revealed that during taping,
Speaker 1: Lohan convinced her to get a two way pager, which
Speaker 1: is perhaps one of the most two thousand's Things That
Speaker 1: Ever Existed? Lohan made Brenda save up alliver per Diem
Speaker 1: and they went together to buy a two way pager.
Speaker 1: It's a very cute Aughts specific story, to say the least.
Speaker 1: Now in twenty five, twenty years ago, the Disney Channel
Speaker 1: ran a special event for the debut of Go Figure,
Speaker 1: where viewers got to vote on their top five d coms,
Speaker 1: and Get a Clue came in second. Number five, for
Speaker 1: the record, was Stuck in the Suburbs. Number four was
Speaker 1: Got to Kick It Up. Number three was Halloween Town
Speaker 1: High and what do you think? Number one was Sabrina.
Speaker 3: Ooh.
Speaker 2: In two thousand and five, did we make the top five?
Speaker 1: Did you? I don't know. Number one Cheetah Girls, Yes,
Speaker 1: was number one. Everybody. Cheetah Girls was number one. You
Speaker 1: can go and watch Get a Clue on Disney Plus
Speaker 1: right now before we talk about it, or you can
Speaker 1: watch it later, but do not watch it while eating
Speaker 1: a now and later, because your teeth will follow. Did
Speaker 1: you know about Get a Clue before we made it
Speaker 1: onto our beautiful podcast?
Speaker 3: I did it. I didn't.
Speaker 2: I mean I I think that the title fits. I
Speaker 2: was expecting to see when it came up.
Speaker 3: A girl with there was another movie.
Speaker 2: I think it was maybe more of a Nickelodeon movie
Speaker 2: where she had like a.
Speaker 1: Big, big sleuth thing big. She had a what is
Speaker 1: that it's a magnifying glass. Yes, Harriet the Spy. Harriet
Speaker 1: the Spy once again, producer Lisa.
Speaker 2: In my mind like on the spot, onto it. That's
Speaker 2: what I was thinking it was, was Harriet the Spy.
Speaker 2: But then when I started watching it, obviously Lindsay Lohan
Speaker 2: popped in.
Speaker 3: I knew that wasn't the right movie.
Speaker 2: And I assume Harriet the Spy was like Nickelodeon or
Speaker 2: something on a different network.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was too. I do not know.
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna pretend that I knew anything about
Speaker 1: this movie, nor am I gonna do the old fake
Speaker 1: out of like yeah I knew it. Nope, didn't know
Speaker 1: anything about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, So break out your most designer outfit because it's
Speaker 1: time to find a murderer and look chic while doing it.
Speaker 1: But first let's get into the synopsis. A teenage journalist
Speaker 1: Lexi Gold, teams up the friends to solve the mystery
Speaker 1: of their missing teacher using gadgets and wit they ucover
Speaker 1: conspiracy and navigate danger to crack the case. Sabrina Early thoughts,
Speaker 1: What did you think of the movie?
Speaker 2: I man, this one, this one I liked. I was
Speaker 2: I first of all Branda songs.
Speaker 1: In it, so sure, big brand of song fan ms Brenda,
Speaker 1: big big Branda song fan.
Speaker 2: I loved her again, very similar to a character we seen,
Speaker 2: but so cute. I right from the start was like, oh,
Speaker 2: they're like dressed as little little baby sex and the
Speaker 2: city girls there, so their fashion is so you know,
Speaker 2: on this like big major platform of the movie.
Speaker 3: So of course I always love it.
Speaker 2: I love to love it, love to hate it, love
Speaker 2: to do all that with the fashion part of it.
Speaker 2: Enjoyed the music right from the start.
Speaker 3: I noticed.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, we've got some probably Robbie Neville tracks
Speaker 2: in there. And the storyline totally got me. I thought
Speaker 2: I had this whole thing figured out at the end
Speaker 2: and I went, oh, I guess she wasn't sleeping the
Speaker 2: whole time and this wasn't a dream.
Speaker 1: Okay, well there you go.
Speaker 3: So it got me, So I guess it did. It
Speaker 3: got me. It got me. I was in enough to
Speaker 3: think I knew what was going on. And didn't at
Speaker 3: the end anyway, Okay, okay, what about you.
Speaker 1: I didn't get this movie. I did not know what
Speaker 1: this movie was. This movie did not know what it was.
Speaker 1: The genre was changing like halfway through. I didn't. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's not you know, let's be honest. Lindsay Lohan, especially
Speaker 1: when she was younger, she was very good. I mean,
Speaker 1: when you can see a child actor who is just
Speaker 1: hitting beats and Kenny mote and has the great facial expressions,
Speaker 1: you know, Claire Danes was like that, you can just
Speaker 1: spot talent at a young age, and she was very,
Speaker 1: very good. This movie was weird to me. I did
Speaker 1: not know what this movie was. I didn't understand it.
Speaker 1: And then it well we'll get into it was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was strange.
Speaker 2: That's where I sat with it in the sense of
Speaker 2: I liked it, probably because we had Lindsay just completely
Speaker 2: like she was just the drive reenforce of the movie.
Speaker 2: So I liked seeing Lindsay, especially now that she's having
Speaker 2: like this big light comeback. Yeah, seeing her like at
Speaker 2: the very brink of everything that she was doing.
Speaker 1: Well, this was not brink. This this was no break.
Speaker 2: But I'm saying I liked her to see her back then,
Speaker 2: because there was such a huge time where you just
Speaker 2: loved Lindsay Lhan.
Speaker 3: You loved everything that he did.
Speaker 2: She was great from the beginning of it, and I
Speaker 2: think I kind of just got nostalgic about that.
Speaker 3: I think that's what happened to me. I jumped into
Speaker 3: a nostalgia of like, well, yeah, her go.
Speaker 1: This movie was very garbled to me where I was
Speaker 1: just like what, wait, what theck was that at at
Speaker 1: certain times, So yeah, okay, Get a Clue. Is directed
Speaker 1: by Maggie Greenwald, who started her career in the sound
Speaker 1: department of movies trading places in Weird Science Two Awesome Movies.
Speaker 1: She'd graduate to directing on shows like The Adventures of
Speaker 1: Pete and Pete and The Mystery Files of Shelby Wu
Speaker 1: the movie stars. As we were just talking about, one
Speaker 1: of the most famous or infamous names of that decade
Speaker 1: in Lindsay Lohan, who played Lexi Gold. Lohan, who is
Speaker 1: in the middle of her career resurgence right now, as
Speaker 1: Sabrina was just talking about, is best known for her
Speaker 1: roles in movies like Freaky Friday, Mean Girls, Confessions of
Speaker 1: a Teenage Drama, Queen, and of course, the Parent Trap.
Speaker 1: She also had a short lived pop career. At the
Speaker 1: peak of her stardom, at one point she was literally
Speaker 1: the face of Disney Studios. Speaking of the Face of Disney,
Speaker 1: the movie co stars the aforementioned Brenda song who We Love.
Speaker 1: We've already seen her in The Ultimate Christmas Present, which
Speaker 1: we didn't love that much and Stuck in the Suburbs,
Speaker 1: and we love her here at Magical rewind so much again.
Speaker 1: When we do official nighting ceremonies, I think we'll have
Speaker 1: to make Lady Brenda another member, and of course we'll
Speaker 1: have to hand out awards. We'll just have to leave
Speaker 1: them on the street, though, because none of these people
Speaker 1: would be dumb enough to actually give us their addresses. Yes,
Speaker 1: Brenda has also been seen in the TV show Doll
Speaker 1: Face and The Social Network, But to our listeners, she's
Speaker 1: best known as London Tipton, a character from the Sweet
Speaker 1: Life of Zach and Cody that also appeared on Wizards
Speaker 1: of Waverley Place and Hannah Montana. And now for one
Speaker 1: of my favorite names in the history of Hollywood, Bug
Speaker 1: Hall plays love interest Jack Downey. Bug played Alfalfa in
Speaker 1: the nineteen ninety four version of Little Rascals and has
Speaker 1: appeared on Charmed, Criminal Minds and Castle and I'm just
Speaker 1: going to keep saying bug Hall all day long because
Speaker 1: it's awesome. And then we've got legendary character actor Charles
Speaker 1: Shaughnessy who plays Detective Meanie, but to us rewinds he
Speaker 1: is Dmitri from Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire?
Speaker 1: Remember that one. He also played Maxwell Sheffield on almost
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty episodes of The Nanny and was
Speaker 1: a reoccurring character on Madmen and in The Reynolds Coleman Chair.
Speaker 1: This week is actress Amanda Plummer as Miss Dawson. Plumber
Speaker 1: can be seen in classic movies like Pulp Fiction and
Speaker 1: The Fisher King and the Amazing Comedy Classic which might
Speaker 1: be on my top ten list of all times. So
Speaker 1: I Married an Axe Murderer, where she played a character
Speaker 1: very similar to this one. She was a mainstay favorite
Speaker 1: in the nineties. And lastly, for all the parents out there,
Speaker 1: Kim Roberts is Miss Stern. Again. We got some great names.
Speaker 1: She has a lot of Canadian credits to her name,
Speaker 1: but the most notable might just be that she's the
Speaker 1: voice of Mayor goodway on Paw Patrol.
Speaker 3: She's also my mom in The Cheetah Girls, my foster mom.
Speaker 1: Yes, Oh geez.
Speaker 2: She was in another What Sabrina season. I tried to
Speaker 2: find it because I can't remember what other movie she
Speaker 2: was in. She played a teacher.
Speaker 3: Huh, how did I miss that? I said it? I
Speaker 3: said it. I said it that that's that episode. I've
Speaker 3: got to find it. I couldn't.
Speaker 2: I couldn't during my okay, smortishborg of notes that I've
Speaker 2: got for sburta see man.
Speaker 1: Well, she was also Sabrina's mom in The Cheetah Girls.
Speaker 1: Of course, your foster mom. Of course, small part.
Speaker 3: How do I have such a chance? That's a small
Speaker 3: part because she's big on the channel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's done a ton of stuff and in Pop
Speaker 1: Control Get a Clue is just eighty three minutes seven
Speaker 1: below the target. But that's on the right side of history, because,
Speaker 1: as we know, a short D com is a good
Speaker 1: d com. And it was written by Alano Senko, which
Speaker 1: is a rare occurrence with the director and writer are
Speaker 1: both women. This is great. Senko was a writer's assistant
Speaker 1: on Roseanne, who went on to write for Murphy Brown
Speaker 1: and a show she created with Whoopy Goldberg called Just
Speaker 1: for Kicks and Little Einstein's.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: All right, so even though you're alibi, clears your name.
Speaker 1: Let's break down. Get a clue. We open with credits
Speaker 1: placed over shots in New York. We see the statue
Speaker 1: of Liberty, high rise buildings, taxis, and flags. We hear
Speaker 1: a total green day punk ripoff band shouting about how
Speaker 1: things aren't exactly what they seem. You gotta look a
Speaker 1: little closer, and man, that is what you call foreshadowing.
Speaker 1: I also love a song that puts the title of
Speaker 1: the movie into the song.
Speaker 2: Get a Clue, that's what That's what I thought Robbie
Speaker 2: Neville might have gotten his hands on.
Speaker 1: Gotcha? Oh apparently again, Thank you so much, producer Lisa Again.
Speaker 1: She was also He was also in Mom's Gotta Date
Speaker 1: with a Vmpire, which were.
Speaker 3: Like the one that I put down.
Speaker 1: She was an she was a teacher, She's been in
Speaker 1: everything amazing. We land at a fancy Park Avenue building
Speaker 1: than in another Disney trope favorite which we've seen eight
Speaker 1: billion times. We get a scan of our main character's bedroom.
Speaker 1: This is a common move used in d COM's and
Speaker 1: lets us know a little bit about our character without
Speaker 1: wasting any time or dialogue, And in this case, we
Speaker 1: see makeup, high pace boots, a vintage Apple computer, a
Speaker 1: chair shaped like a high heel, and now we know
Speaker 1: this girl is fashionable and cool. And we land on
Speaker 1: Lexi and she is still sleeping, but as the alarm
Speaker 1: goes off, she quickly grabs a headset like what gamers
Speaker 1: wear nowadays play Call of Duty, but this one is
Speaker 1: bedazzled in gold. Lexi logs into her desktop computer and
Speaker 1: on the other end is Jen, her bestie, and she
Speaker 1: is wearing fluffy headphones. They're excited to see each other
Speaker 1: and show off their possible outfits for the day. Lexi
Speaker 1: calls one of Jen's outfits trey cute, which I'm almost
Speaker 1: sure was in another DCM, and Jen returns to favor
Speaker 1: by calling Lexi's ensemble fabulus and yes, I just said that,
Speaker 1: Please don't make it a mean. A few minutes later,
Speaker 1: we join Lexi and her family at breakfast. We meet
Speaker 1: her dad, who's a New York Times journalist in a
Speaker 1: business suit, and her sister Taylor, who is wearing some
Speaker 1: sort of neon green spyglasses, and we meet her mom
Speaker 1: who announces she's going out of town for work. Lexi's
Speaker 1: nanny makes them bacon and this reminds us, Yeah, these
Speaker 1: peeps is rich. While scanning a I just realized that guy.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I just realized that the guy who plays
Speaker 1: her dad, I think was also in My Day. He
Speaker 1: plays one of the secret service agents in My Day
Speaker 1: with the President's daughter. Oh just remember that. That's why
Speaker 1: I was like. I was like, I recognize this guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's where we know him from. Anyway. While scanning a
Speaker 1: competitor's paper, her dad spots a huge surprise. He notices
Speaker 1: that Lexi has a byline in the paper. She submitted
Speaker 1: it for the junior Journalist section weeks ago, and everyone
Speaker 1: is really proud to see that it was published. The
Speaker 1: story is about two teachers, mister Walker and Miss Dawson,
Speaker 1: having a secret relationship at their school. She even used
Speaker 1: her sister's spycam to catch them in the act. And
Speaker 1: while this really feels like some TMZ tabloid work, and
Speaker 1: at the first time, I was like, huh, so, everybody's
Speaker 1: proud of the fact that she's outing the secreting couple
Speaker 1: at school. And not only that, but it somehow made
Speaker 1: the paper because it's important that these two teachers are dating.
Speaker 3: Why the drama.
Speaker 2: The beginning part in the hallway was that this guy
Speaker 2: was going to get fired or something.
Speaker 3: That's right, like this students job caused him his job.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no she didn't. She actually ended up costing him
Speaker 1: his life essentially. But yeah, I thought that was kind
Speaker 1: of like a oh, she's kind of scraping the bottom
Speaker 1: of the barrel. I want to sneakily take pictures of
Speaker 1: these two people that just want to have a consensual relationship.
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, she's already not my favorite with that.
Speaker 1: Their mom says goodbye, she's off on a trip. And
Speaker 1: it's worth noting here that none of this matters because
Speaker 1: we never see her mom again. We never mentioned her
Speaker 1: mom again. The fact that her mom's on a trip
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. He didn't. I was saying that.
Speaker 2: There was gonna be a big storyline with the mom
Speaker 2: and her because there's a giant eight x ten picture
Speaker 2: of her and her mom on the bedside of her
Speaker 2: that we see in the very big.
Speaker 3: First scamp her room. Something.
Speaker 2: You know, there's drama. Her mom goes way a lot.
Speaker 2: It affects her, No no, literally literally halt thanks, Ma,
Speaker 2: nod cares, the husband doesn't care, the sistor doesn't care,
Speaker 2: No one cares.
Speaker 1: And again, this is you think about Disney saving a budget.
Speaker 1: It's so easy to just have the line, well, Mom's
Speaker 1: off on a business trip, and then you don't need
Speaker 1: that actor at all. You don't need to shit that scene,
Speaker 1: you don't need to do any of that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: So hey, I'm all for having more actors and scripts.
Speaker 1: You get to give them jobs, but just unnecessary the
Speaker 1: entire character. Yeah, it's now later that morning, we see
Speaker 1: students on their way to school, decked out in designer clothes,
Speaker 1: sporting posh handbags, and chatting on their phones. Okay, Sabrina,
Speaker 1: this is where I thought about you as I was
Speaker 1: watching the movie, because of all the fashion stuff there,
Speaker 1: and this is kind of right at your time of being. Well,
Speaker 1: you weren't in high school. You would have been what
Speaker 1: eighteen nineteen in the early two thousands, So what did
Speaker 1: you think of all the fashion and all the sidekicks
Speaker 1: and flip phones and everything else that was out there.
Speaker 2: I feel again I related to it nostalgia of like
Speaker 2: this is kind of a younger version of what we
Speaker 2: saw in Sex and the City like that was they
Speaker 2: were poppy.
Speaker 3: They were wearing.
Speaker 2: Bright, bright colors where New York when you see the
Speaker 2: outside is only kind of gray. So they're popping off
Speaker 2: the screen. The high boots for high school. Not so
Speaker 2: into feeling a little too adult and mature for them.
Speaker 1: Maybe if your mom also traveling all the time.
Speaker 2: Attire like looked to adult as far as what they
Speaker 2: were wearing. The scene where they come the second time
Speaker 2: they're coming back into school, I was like, oh my gosh, like.
Speaker 1: Oh, we'll get into that, because that made no doubt
Speaker 1: of her anyway, Well we'll get there. So yes, Lexi
Speaker 1: walks the halls. The people are buzzing about her scandalous article.
Speaker 1: She's obviously very very popular. Everybody's saying hi to her.
Speaker 1: That's when she spots mister Walker, who is called to
Speaker 1: Miss Sterne's office, and again she's Stern. I love the
Speaker 1: names again Miss Stern. And then we get Detective Meani.
Speaker 1: It's it seemed like they were almost kind of going
Speaker 1: tongue in cheek clue the game Clue where it's like
Speaker 1: Professor Plum and Miss Scarlett, like it seemed a little
Speaker 1: like they were trying to lean into the cheese factor
Speaker 1: a bit, which I'm all for, Yes, but I don't
Speaker 1: that I don't think they lean far enough is the problem.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's what I would say.
Speaker 1: Okay, but yes, so called into miss Stearn's office. She's
Speaker 1: the admissions officer, and it looks like this guy is
Speaker 1: already in trouble. Sorry, mister Walker, Thank you very much. Lexi.
Speaker 1: Another student, then a cute boy named Jack Downey, who
Speaker 1: has possibly one of the worst accents in movie history.
Speaker 1: It comes, it goes, he's got it for this line,
Speaker 1: it goes for that line. But this is also the
Speaker 1: movie of bad accents. There's three or four people. Where
Speaker 1: is that guy British? Now he's not now he is?
Speaker 1: This is this guy from Brooklyn, Now he's not now
Speaker 1: he is. It's they They are coming and going. Yes,
Speaker 1: it says the article was pure gossip. This guy comes
Speaker 1: up to her and says, what are you thinking? It's
Speaker 1: pure gossip. Lexi is, of course offended. She is an
Speaker 1: charge of the advice column for the school paper, and
Speaker 1: today's piece was a human interest piece, which is what
Speaker 1: her dad told her it was, And she's just kind
Speaker 1: of parroting what her dad says, Jack, of course rolls
Speaker 1: his eyes also with a bad accent, and takes off
Speaker 1: his eyes. He's had a bad accent when he was
Speaker 1: rolling his eyes. Lexi is, then.
Speaker 2: You're gonna give it to him, which because first of all,
Speaker 2: it was not that bad.
Speaker 1: The actor is not bad. He's personable, he's a cute kid.
Speaker 1: He pops off screen. They work well together.
Speaker 2: Tuney, But isn't that what we always get with these
Speaker 2: d coms is when we're.
Speaker 1: Like, keep it, but it's I know, but it was
Speaker 1: like I was waiting for like, youse, guys, Oh I'm
Speaker 1: gonna punch in the mush. It was like, what what
Speaker 1: the hell is happening? Anyway, Lexi is enjoined by Jen,
Speaker 1: who is very proud that her friend made the Examiner,
Speaker 1: and another boy, Gabe, is paparazzi ing them with a camcorder,
Speaker 1: asking Lexi how she got the scoop. Eventually, the girls
Speaker 1: entered their first class of the day, Miss Dawson's. Now
Speaker 1: remember she's the other teacher that was in this little
Speaker 1: tourrit affair with mister Walker. Now we're in the Millington
Speaker 1: Bugle classroom with students hard at work on their next issue.
Speaker 1: It's set decorated like an actual adult office, which felt
Speaker 1: kind of strange, like they're in the New York Times bullpen.
Speaker 2: They even have their like their cubicles are even like
Speaker 2: able to be decorated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you're waiting for to be called to HR.
Speaker 2: No, didn't feel like a real classroom at all to me,
Speaker 2: I mean as far as my experience. But again, we've
Speaker 2: already seen the lockers, and you know, I think lockers
Speaker 2: are fake because I didn't have them, especially hers.
Speaker 3: With the purple boa.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: When she shuts the door doesn't even stay in the locker.
Speaker 2: I mean that was just too much anyway already, And again.
Speaker 1: Did you have a school paper?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah we did.
Speaker 1: I think we did, but I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 3: I think I'm thinking of your book. No, we didn't have.
Speaker 1: Maybe we might not, I don't know.
Speaker 3: It might have on one that came out like once
Speaker 3: a month or something.
Speaker 1: But maybe they did have a journalist classroom that looked
Speaker 1: like a bullpen. I don't know, seem like all the
Speaker 1: president's men. Yeah it was. Yeah, yeah, it was very strange,
Speaker 1: but anyway, I got what they were going for. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jen and Lexi each have their own cubicles. They're facing
Speaker 1: each other. Lexi is editing advice questions for her next assignment,
Speaker 1: as a disinterested Jack listens on nearby. It is now
Speaker 1: time for the week Who I know, right, It's now
Speaker 1: time for the weekly paper meeting like you have with
Speaker 1: instructor mister Goldbloom, who kicks it off by congratulating Lexi
Speaker 1: on her Examiner article. The group of plauds and the
Speaker 1: teacher asked the paper's editor, the cute but crabby Jack Downey,
Speaker 1: who again has the perfect newspaper guy, Jack Downey, Jack
Speaker 1: Downey Downey Daily Bugle wants him to say something, so
Speaker 1: he stands up and timithally says he's proud of her,
Speaker 1: especially since she works in the softer news area. Out
Speaker 1: what a dick. The tension between them thickens when Lexi
Speaker 1: thanks him for on the article, because it's the only
Speaker 1: reason she submitted it to the Examiner. Will there won't they?
Speaker 1: Who knows, but we know that eventually they will.
Speaker 3: They will.
Speaker 1: Later that day, Lexi stumbles on mister Walker and Miss
Speaker 1: Dawson having an emotional conversation the staircase. Lexi hides to
Speaker 1: listen in because that's not snooping, that's journalism. Mister Walker
Speaker 1: says he never wanted to hurt miss Dawson, but the
Speaker 1: newspaper has obviously caused a problem. Miss Dawson tears up
Speaker 1: and proclaims her love, but is interrupted when he breaks
Speaker 1: up with her. He says he never loved her, causing
Speaker 1: her to say she's sorry she ever met him. Out
Speaker 1: she proclaims that one of them must leave the high
Speaker 1: school now, and it ain't gonna be her. She storms off,
Speaker 1: bumping into Lexi, who is now joined by Jack, who
Speaker 1: conveniently walked by, as well a lot of convenient walk
Speaker 1: byes in this movie. They say hello to each other,
Speaker 1: which is weird because when't all the teachers be mad
Speaker 1: at Lexi? I mean, Lexi caused this, essentially, but she's
Speaker 1: getting off scott free. That night, Lexi is typing away
Speaker 1: when her dad gets home late. He praises her journalistic
Speaker 1: skills once again, but she's clearly bothered by the recent
Speaker 1: events involving her subjects. Lexi just wants to be a
Speaker 1: hard hitting reporter like her dad, and he tells her
Speaker 1: she's well on her way. It takes time, so just
Speaker 1: keep your eyes open. And investigate any hunches. She goes
Speaker 1: to bed and we have a rare good dcom Dad
Speaker 1: he's there. Mark it down that we got a good
Speaker 1: dcom pop. The mom not great, but then again it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter because we don't ever see her. She left
Speaker 1: and she's out of our lives. The next morning, we
Speaker 1: see a beije Ford sedan being pulled out of a river.
Speaker 1: Police around the scene, and one grizzly detective with the
Speaker 1: world's most ridiculous handlebar mustache looks on in concern. On
Speaker 1: the other side of town, Jack Downey, which is how
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it from now. And Jack Downey buys
Speaker 1: an examiner and reads the headline teacher marked absent. Oh no,
Speaker 1: mister Walker is missing, which leads me to believe hopefully
Speaker 1: some time has passed, because if they're pulling the car
Speaker 1: out of the river the same time the newspaper has
Speaker 1: been written, I.
Speaker 2: Feel like they needed to say some type of a
Speaker 2: month after something, because.
Speaker 3: We later so jarring of oh my gosh, and they
Speaker 3: already know he's missing.
Speaker 2: He hasn't been missing for at least twenty four hours
Speaker 2: at this point, because that's what it came off as.
Speaker 3: This was like the next morning, So yeah, I felt.
Speaker 1: Like I felt the same thing. They're pulling the car
Speaker 1: out of the river, but it's already in the paper
Speaker 1: that he's.
Speaker 2: But she went to sleep before this. So this made
Speaker 2: me go, oh, this is okay. So this is a
Speaker 2: whole dream.
Speaker 3: This is going to be a whole all right.
Speaker 1: Got it?
Speaker 2: That's why we can dream the guy that's already dead,
Speaker 2: Like what, okay, this is going.
Speaker 1: To be a dream. I'm waiting for the music to
Speaker 1: break out. Where are the zombies? Where are the exactly?
Speaker 1: Back at her house, Lexi is awoken by her dad,
Speaker 1: who breaks the bad news that was Walker's car in
Speaker 1: the river, but he's nowhere to be found. Lexi's immediate
Speaker 1: reaction is to called Jen, who performs possibly the greatest
Speaker 1: move in dcom history. She's fast asleep wearing the headphones
Speaker 1: when Lexi says, mister Walker is missing, and Jen springboards
Speaker 1: up in concern and is now wide awake. And now
Speaker 1: we really this movie is well, I guess we kind
Speaker 1: of realize what this movie is going for, which is
Speaker 1: Disney meets Colombo meets Sex in the City. Yep, do
Speaker 1: you have you seen Colombo?
Speaker 3: Nope? But I know Disney, and I know Sex and Stace.
Speaker 1: I know two of the things you said.
Speaker 3: So I'm smiling none and Jensen's scoring board. That means
Speaker 3: I went, so we got it.
Speaker 1: You gotta watch Columbo. It's Peter Falk. It's great. Columbo's awesome.
Speaker 1: He very grizzled, old like seventies detective who likes He's great.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1: So, okay, this is where she comes. Lexi comes to
Speaker 1: school the next day, okay, dressed in her outfit. Brenda
Speaker 1: Song comes to school the next day, dressed in her outfit.
Speaker 1: Jen comes to school. There's paparazzi everywhere. There's there's the
Speaker 1: news media everywhere, and they say, oh my god, look
Speaker 1: what's going on. Mister Walker's missing. This is terrible. Everybody's
Speaker 1: being interviewed, The extras are being interviewed out front. What's happening?
Speaker 1: I hope they catch my good side, she said, And
Speaker 1: then they cut to a pulp fiction Sex and the City.
Speaker 1: Slow moll walk through the hallway, and that's where I
Speaker 1: started going, what the actual is happening?
Speaker 2: Right? I can't get over her outfit. I'm like, where
Speaker 2: are you going in that outfit? Then she makes a
Speaker 2: comment about grieving and how and how they wear black
Speaker 2: and all this stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like, are they going for sexy funeral.
Speaker 3: School? You're going to?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what and the lace nylons and it's too much,
Speaker 2: Oh my.
Speaker 1: God, I don't know. No, you know, it's too much.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But the whole situation is bothering Lexi everything going on.
Speaker 1: She knows, for instance, that the river is too toxic
Speaker 1: for mister Walker to have survived, and yet the whole
Speaker 1: thing seems fishy, boom pun intended. So yes, they strut
Speaker 1: through the halls like you do when your teacher is missing.
Speaker 1: In slow motion, we then see miss Stearn, who who
Speaker 1: is also shaken up and grieving. Lexi acknowledges it's weird
Speaker 1: that the day after the article, mister Walker just disappeared.
Speaker 3: So it is twenty four hours yes after.
Speaker 1: Yes, twenty four hours later, the car's missing. It's already
Speaker 1: written up in the paper.
Speaker 3: I'm not buying it.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not.
Speaker 3: Buying it this timeline, guys, No, it is not.
Speaker 1: And you know what else is not making sense is
Speaker 1: paparazzi Gabe hounding Lexi again, this time for answers to
Speaker 1: this outstanding mystery. This dude is really a pest. We're
Speaker 1: now in miss Dawson's class. The teacher and former lover
Speaker 1: is on the verge of tears. She can barely even
Speaker 1: talk about mister Walker when a suited cop enters. He's
Speaker 1: looking for Lexi Gold. Lexi is quickly whisked away into
Speaker 1: the newspaper office where the weathered handlebar mustache policeman is
Speaker 1: waiting for her. We get a better look at his
Speaker 1: facial hair, and it genuinely looks like a raccoon has
Speaker 1: landed on his lip. His name is Detective Potter, not
Speaker 1: Harry Potter, different people, and he also has a strange
Speaker 1: accent again that comes and goes. This is a strange
Speaker 1: accent movie. This should be called Yes, Lexi Gold. In
Speaker 1: the case of the strange accents, it's very strange. He
Speaker 1: questions Lexi about her quote unquote gossip column, asking about
Speaker 1: the Juicy Examiner article. She takes it one step further,
Speaker 1: telling Hi about the breakup she witnessed, detailing that Miss
Speaker 1: Dawson was upset and said he needed to leave the school.
Speaker 1: Detective Potter is, of course intrigued. As she leaves, she
Speaker 1: suggests that he shave his mustache. Whichess is something we
Speaker 1: were all thinking, but probably not something we tell a
Speaker 1: policeman investigating a missing person. Upon her exit, Miss Dawson enters,
Speaker 1: and boy does she have some splain in the do
Speaker 1: Lexi hangs by the door trying to eavesdrop. Of course,
Speaker 1: when Jack approaches again, Jack, I love it. Miss Dawson
Speaker 1: is getting grilled by Potter and completely leaves the breakup
Speaker 1: out of her story, making her look very guilty. So
Speaker 1: when Detective Potter brings up Lexi's story, she decides she
Speaker 1: needs to contact a lawyer. So we're now back in
Speaker 1: the hallways. Lexi feels bad that her article has caused
Speaker 1: everyone to think miss Dawson did it, but she knows
Speaker 1: that she's innocent. Jack doubts that, but Lexi is one
Speaker 1: hundred percent sure. We don't know how, but she's somehow
Speaker 1: a hundred percent sure. She is going to get to
Speaker 1: the bottom of this and it'll be her first ever
Speaker 1: front page news story. And since Jack knows mister Walker
Speaker 1: really well, she wants to team up with him. Uh huh,
Speaker 1: wink wink to crack the case wide open. These two
Speaker 1: still go together like oil and vinegar. But we got
Speaker 1: ourselves a little dcom reporter duo going on here, and
Speaker 1: I guess I'm here for it. It's I We'll see.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I mean it's you know, it's starting. It's
Speaker 2: obviously for me. It's like the cheese factor is just
Speaker 2: in full force right now. Sure, but again it's Lindsay
Speaker 2: Lohan and I'm, for whatever reason, okay with this and
Speaker 2: keeping it going with this.
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough. We are back out in those New
Speaker 1: York streets. Lexi and Jen are trying on new outfits.
Speaker 1: Of course, you know, like you do when your teacher
Speaker 1: is missing. Jen teezes Lexi for liking Jack, but Lexi
Speaker 1: swears it's all just business. But of course her best
Speaker 1: friend isn't buying it. Later that day, Lexi asked her
Speaker 1: dad for some advice when investigating the story. He suggests
Speaker 1: looking into the subject's background that usually leads to some answers.
Speaker 1: Good advice for a reporter. Her dad quickly realizes that
Speaker 1: she's asking for herself, and he warns her not to
Speaker 1: get involved again. Very good advice. Maybe don't get involved
Speaker 1: in what could possibly be a murder case when you're
Speaker 1: in like the seventh grade. Maybe a good idea, but
Speaker 1: that doesn't always go well on Disney Channel. We like
Speaker 1: the kids get involved. She assures him that she's just
Speaker 1: innocently curious and not to worry. Akuna matata, she says,
Speaker 1: But her fingers were crossed behind her back when she
Speaker 1: said it. What a rascal do kids do this? Still?
Speaker 3: Why a kuna matata?
Speaker 1: Because it means no worries because she says no worries.
Speaker 2: But by two thousand and two that movie was so
Speaker 2: old that wasn't a like no movie that was out,
Speaker 2: that wasn't like something from Wicked that you repeat right now.
Speaker 3: I didn't underst stand it.
Speaker 2: I had to write on Sabartes, why the hell did
Speaker 2: she just say?
Speaker 1: Because she had just said no worries, and it means
Speaker 1: no worries for the rest of your days. Come on,
Speaker 1: And it's especially cool when they're like, Hakuna matata, your
Speaker 1: teacher's dead, so we don't know what's going on. But
Speaker 1: you're right, it was a strange attempt at synergy for
Speaker 1: an older movie. Yeah, I thought the same things. Do
Speaker 1: you do fingers crossed?
Speaker 3: No, but that happens in dcom's we see all the time.
Speaker 2: We've seen that probably now fifteen times a week because
Speaker 2: this makes.
Speaker 1: A lie not happen. Everybody knows that, like, it makes
Speaker 1: you not guilty. Nine, I didn't kill my teacher. Uh,
Speaker 1: that's not what happened. So Lexi's next stop is her
Speaker 1: little sister's room. She is a tech wizard and presses
Speaker 1: a button open the door. Her room is like an
Speaker 1: inventor's lab, surrounded by gadgets and ideas. She's like Q
Speaker 1: in James Bond. Lexi learns about some gadgets, but most
Speaker 1: importantly finds out about the corner spy shop where her
Speaker 1: sister buys this stuff. Now armed with this information, she
Speaker 1: immediately visits the shop with Jack. I love a good
Speaker 1: spy shop. There's nothing like really expensive tiny cameras you
Speaker 1: can put in stuff. I think it's fun.
Speaker 2: The first one they're doing is like a surveillance camera.
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's two thousand and two. There were definitely
Speaker 2: surveillance cameras everywhere.
Speaker 3: Why was it? She's like, ooh oh, I can't cool.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to get into the tiny surveillance camera
Speaker 1: they put on the balcony of their teachers that it
Speaker 1: was like a giant film camera. We'll get into that unbelievable.
Speaker 1: So she's impressed with all the spy wears in the store,
Speaker 1: most intrigued by rear viewing glasses where you can see
Speaker 1: whoever's behind you without turning your head. Just then Jen
Speaker 1: enters the spy shop, flanked by Gabe Gabe. Lexi's confused,
Speaker 1: what are they doing there? Apparently Gabe lives down the
Speaker 1: street from Miss Dawson and they're hoping to run some
Speaker 1: surveillance and maybe clear her name or prove her guilt,
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. And so now the duo
Speaker 1: is a foursome returning to Lexi's place, which becomes their
Speaker 1: new headquarters, which Jack is of course wowed by because
Speaker 1: it's a forty trillion dollar apartment in New York. It's
Speaker 1: a twenty million dollar apartment all day long. Lexi immediately
Speaker 1: sets the strategy. The girls will go to the Walker's
Speaker 1: house for clues while the guys watch over Miss Dawson's place.
Speaker 1: But Jen doesn't want to go to Brooklyn because apparently
Speaker 1: Brooklyn is gross. So Lexi and Jack will go together
Speaker 1: to the Walker's place. Very cool. Oh geez, what are
Speaker 1: the chances of them being paired up again? I think
Speaker 1: that I think there might be some synergy. By the way,
Speaker 1: when I said twenty million dollars, it be twenty million
Speaker 1: dollars now. In two thousand and two it was by
Speaker 1: a seven or eight million dollars apart. It was a
Speaker 1: very expensive apartment. They're obviously wealthy people. Yes, So this
Speaker 1: is where Gabe and Jen go to set up a
Speaker 1: camera to watch over Miss Dawson from his edit bay,
Speaker 1: and they take this small little spy camera, which is
Speaker 1: just five by five is the biggestest thing in the
Speaker 1: world that they put this an inch from it is.
Speaker 1: It's truly that big. It's an inch from the window sill,
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh my god. And then he puts
Speaker 1: a plant under it, which which I thought was pretty
Speaker 1: funny to me.
Speaker 3: I'm like, they had to do that on purpose. I
Speaker 3: mean it had to be. There's no way I had to.
Speaker 1: Because it was. It was crazy. It was crazy. Miss
Speaker 1: Dawson eventually does arrive and casually starts and aerobics workout tape.
Speaker 1: Of course, that's hey, I did mine this morning, to
Speaker 1: my little my little zoom. It works. Jack finally convinces Lexi,
Speaker 1: who has never been on the subway before, born and
Speaker 1: raised in New York to go on the subway with
Speaker 1: him to Brooklyn. So after a successful first subway ride,
Speaker 1: Lexi treats Brooklyn like she's entered the Wizard of Oz's castle,
Speaker 1: and residents look at her expensive outlet like it's a
Speaker 1: chicken suit. She sees people playing the guitar wow, and
Speaker 1: even incorrectly uses a map. She's in a differ world.
Speaker 1: It's Brooklyn. It's unbelievable. And as if this wasn't enough,
Speaker 1: she bumps into as at the day. Back in the
Speaker 1: day would have been called a bum now it's called
Speaker 1: an unhoused person, and swears he's wearing mister Walker's coat.
Speaker 1: And once they arrive at mister Walker's house, they see
Speaker 1: miss Stern mysteriously exiting his place, and Lexi remembers their
Speaker 1: weird conversation in the hall the day before he disappears.
Speaker 1: Now unfhazed, the two enter mister Walker's building through a
Speaker 1: slightly a jar door. While snooping, Jack eventually finds a
Speaker 1: locked briefcase with the initials NP on it, while Lexi
Speaker 1: opens a closet door, only to be startled by a
Speaker 1: man standing behind her, and she screams at the top
Speaker 1: for lungs. We jumped to Gabe's place, where Jen notices
Speaker 1: Miss Dawson has welcomed a man into her apartment. He's
Speaker 1: carrying flowers and they embrace, and that's when they notice
Speaker 1: it's mister Goldbloom, the newspaper teacher. Remember him, right, everybody
Speaker 1: remembers mister Goldbloom. Of course you do. Back at mister Walker's,
Speaker 1: Lexi has finished screaming, and the man introduces himself as
Speaker 1: Detective Mini again, a very Nancy Drew character that sounds
Speaker 1: like he was named by a four year old friend
Speaker 1: of the writer, Very very possible. He wants to know
Speaker 1: what they're doing in Walker's apartment. Lexi swears they don't
Speaker 1: know anything about his whereabouts, and she notices his fancy watch.
Speaker 1: Jack quickly rushes them out, terrified of getting in trouble
Speaker 1: on their way home, Lexi says she knows Mini is
Speaker 1: not a detective. A cop could never afford that platinum watch,
Speaker 1: those alligator boots and a Pumoni suit. Which is that
Speaker 1: a real thing Pomoni or is that supposed to be ARMANI?
Speaker 1: They just can't say it.
Speaker 3: I think that it's supposed to be a designer.
Speaker 1: Brand that, but it's fake. It's fake, right, Pomoni is
Speaker 1: not a real thing. Okay, that's what That's what I
Speaker 1: thought too. I think it's better at least I don't
Speaker 1: know of it. I don't either. Maybe it's so exclusive
Speaker 1: that it's there's like four of them in the world
Speaker 1: and I don't know. Oh, apparently we hear from producer Jensen.
Speaker 1: Pumani is real. Oh but Pumoni isn't. Oh okay, So
Speaker 1: Pumani is real. Pumoni isn't okay. I think that all
Speaker 1: sounds like desert to me. So can I get the
Speaker 1: pomony please? That'd be awesome, research producer Jensen with all
Speaker 1: his research, I'm telling you. So it was the ultimate
Speaker 1: in chic and her New York sense of fashion has
Speaker 1: come in handy sniffing out this imposter, they decide to
Speaker 1: run a check on mister Meniat Jack's house, which is
Speaker 1: nearby and a beautiful house in Brooklyn by the way,
Speaker 1: but as for some reason treated like a shack.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2: I was like, why are they making this look like
Speaker 2: such a I mean, I guess because her house is
Speaker 2: so much like it is very expensive and you can tell.
Speaker 2: But still like, this is looking like Brooklyn is fine living.
Speaker 3: It's like nice. That house was cute.
Speaker 1: Yes, it was big, Yeah, a big room. The neighbors
Speaker 1: are super sweet, and it's Brooklyn. It's not like you
Speaker 1: went to the like the worst parts of wherever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it was. Yeah. So anyway, that was very
Speaker 1: strange the way they were kind of doing that. But
Speaker 1: we find out here that Jack goes to their private
Speaker 1: school on a scholarship and loves his community, which is
Speaker 1: spoken of out kind of like you'd mentioned in a
Speaker 1: dark alley. But again, it's a beautiful house, so it
Speaker 1: makes no sense. But once inside, Lexi notices pictures of
Speaker 1: Jack's brother Todd, who he says is away in Hawaii
Speaker 1: for the Navy. And he says all this while wearing
Speaker 1: a giant shirt that reads Navy, which is funny because
Speaker 1: my wife was wearing the same exact shirt to bed
Speaker 1: last night. My dad was in the Navy, and we
Speaker 1: all have Navy shirts, and she was literally wearing that
Speaker 1: same exact shirt to bed last night. That's a tangent.
Speaker 1: We didn't need that, But what the heck, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: let you in on my own little life as we
Speaker 1: do this podcast. We also find out that Todd's dad
Speaker 1: died a few years ago. We start to see the
Speaker 1: softer side of this hard shelled kid with a terrible
Speaker 1: fake accent who apparently lives in Squalor, which again none
Speaker 1: of that is accurate. His room is littered with bowling trophies,
Speaker 1: and Lexi is grossed out. She quote unquote heard you
Speaker 1: have to wear hues shoes to bowl. So are we
Speaker 1: supposed to believe that she's so rich that she doesn't
Speaker 1: know how to bowl? Has never been bowling, has only
Speaker 1: heard about bowling. I don't get. I don't get the
Speaker 1: dynamic they're going for.
Speaker 2: First of all, within this house, in this small frame
Speaker 2: of time, we fight a lot.
Speaker 3: Of information that's just freezed by. We find out about his.
Speaker 2: Brother, his dad, the bowling. Like at this one, I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: and it's going so fast.
Speaker 1: Overload, information overload.
Speaker 2: I thought the same thing, Like is that extreme? However,
Speaker 2: I feel like I can say I've been to New
Speaker 2: York quite a few times.
Speaker 3: I have never been bowling.
Speaker 2: I've never talked to people in New York about them
Speaker 2: going bowling in New York.
Speaker 3: No is bowling a big thing in New York.
Speaker 1: That's not a big thing, but it's a thing. But
Speaker 1: I mean people know enough to know what bowling is.
Speaker 2: Well what it is, but not maybe go if it's
Speaker 2: not like no, but I mean, you know how some
Speaker 2: places have different things that you do as like a
Speaker 2: cat fun night. I've never heard of people even talking
Speaker 2: about going bowling in New York.
Speaker 1: I think people in New York would know enough about
Speaker 1: bowling to know that you have to wear rented shoes
Speaker 1: to Okay, I mean again, I think it's it's not
Speaker 1: this crazy micro world of what is this bowling you
Speaker 1: speak of.
Speaker 3: It's like, you know, I heard you have to wear
Speaker 3: like other people's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. It just it seems like she's just
Speaker 1: never It seems like they're really trying to push this
Speaker 1: that she's hugely fabulously wealthy and he's horribly horribly poor
Speaker 1: and he wasn't horribly horribly poor. No, so yeah. Jack
Speaker 1: sits at his old computer, which we find out was
Speaker 1: given to him by mister Walker, and immediately finds a
Speaker 1: detective Charles Meani on the web. These kids are pretty
Speaker 1: good private eyes. While deciding if it's the same Charles
Speaker 1: media they met, Jack gets a surprising email from mister Walker.
Speaker 1: It's a letter of recommendation you promised Jack. It was
Speaker 1: written four days ago but only sent yesterday. This causes
Speaker 1: Jack to check the general info on his computer and
Speaker 1: sees the owner was someone named Nick Petrosian NP. Like
Speaker 1: the briefcase, we are no closer understanding this, but it
Speaker 1: sure seems like they're happy about finding so sort of
Speaker 1: a clue. We're now back at h Q. Lexi goes
Speaker 1: over the findings with the team, from Miss Stern at
Speaker 1: Walker's apartment, to the homeless guy in the coat to
Speaker 1: mister Gobloom possibly being involved with Stern. There's a lot
Speaker 1: going on right now. Jack has found out that Nick
Speaker 1: Petrosian is a missing banker from Arizona who disappeared in
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty seven and was presumed dead after he was
Speaker 1: charged with embezzlement and fraud. They find this Nick guy's
Speaker 1: mom's address, so they decide to pay her a visit,
Speaker 1: all the while to know in shock, Lexi is starting
Speaker 1: to crush on Jack, the rugged guy from the other
Speaker 1: side of the tracks. What didn't see that coming? Totally
Speaker 1: saw that coming. Now at what they think is Nick
Speaker 1: Petrosian's mom's house, they're met by an older lady wearing
Speaker 1: a fancy brooch, who says, no one with that name
Speaker 1: lives here. She's pretty adamant, but eventually we hear a
Speaker 1: man's voice. He wants them to come in, and it's
Speaker 1: mister Walker. He is alive in this old woman's home.
Speaker 1: They found him very quickly. Leads me to believe that
Speaker 1: all the police are terrible at their jobs. How I
Speaker 1: mean it just if these two kids on this old
Speaker 1: pc could find this out in nine minutes.
Speaker 2: Well, this is one of my sabrinasis, so I'm really
Speaker 2: probably not gonna have very many at the end. But
Speaker 2: there were no cops at this guy's house that's missing,
Speaker 2: that's being reported in the newspaper, being updated, but there's
Speaker 2: no there's nothing taping it off.
Speaker 3: It's not even locked.
Speaker 2: It's like, I mean, there's not no sense of police,
Speaker 2: and it's just kind of going that's again.
Speaker 3: I'm already like, oh, well, she's dreaming something.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be. The police are so bad in this movie,
Speaker 1: it has to be a dream. Yeah. So mister Walker
Speaker 1: or mister Petrojian or whatever you want to call him, says,
Speaker 1: this whole situation is complicated. No the admits to being
Speaker 1: a fugitive banker, but he was framed. Now we jump
Speaker 1: into a flashback of him as a successful banker, now
Speaker 1: with hair. Back in the eighties. Even his boss, mister Granville,
Speaker 1: took notice of his success and hard work. But someone
Speaker 1: secretly embezzled ten million dollars from his account and moved
Speaker 1: it overseas in his name, and then before he could
Speaker 1: fix it, it was quickly drained. He had no alibi
Speaker 1: and knew the police were on his tail, so he
Speaker 1: ran off with the briefcase, faking his death as someone
Speaker 1: anonymously harassed him for the money. He took the name
Speaker 1: of a local recently deceased teacher and entered into a
Speaker 1: whole new life that he loved. Which again, wouldn't an
Speaker 1: everybody know that the teacher died if he was recently deceased,
Speaker 1: and wouldn't that pop up on computers. Not gonna get
Speaker 1: too much into it, But he also fell in love
Speaker 1: with a woman too, miss Dawson. Everything was going great
Speaker 1: until Lexi's article and photo were published. The gig was up.
Speaker 1: He instantly felt someone following him and found a blackmail
Speaker 1: note at his house. It said he had to meet
Speaker 1: this person at a hotel on Saturday at two pm
Speaker 1: or his girlfriend will get hurt. Sadly, the hotel name
Speaker 1: was smudged and illegible. This is heartbreaking because mister Walker
Speaker 1: wants to eventually marry Miss Dawson, and now Lexi wants
Speaker 1: to help. She loops her little sister on the situation,
Speaker 1: hoping for some help, turning their team of four into
Speaker 1: a squad of five. And that was the right decision
Speaker 1: because back at the headquarters, Lexi's sister goes right to
Speaker 1: work using brushes, ink and a black light like the
Speaker 1: one you used to find grosses on sheets to decipher
Speaker 1: the hotel name. It's the fair Mark and the gang
Speaker 1: is going with mister Walker to meet this thug. Back
Speaker 1: at her house, Lexi's dad knows all about Walker's pass
Speaker 1: as a Russian banker on the run. He's facing years
Speaker 1: of prison if caught, but no one knows where he is. Oh,
Speaker 1: Lexi leaves, playing dumb and takes some walkie talkies, which
Speaker 1: we know will come in handy later. By the way,
Speaker 1: they had to make these people rich because they have
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars worth of spy equipment that they keep
Speaker 1: buying thousands. The original gang of four hop in a cab,
Speaker 1: now all dressed like they're in the matrix. They meet
Speaker 1: up with mister Walker at the Fairmont just in time
Speaker 1: and equip each other with earpieces. Walker in a very
Speaker 1: conspicuous disguise, and at two pm the only part and
Speaker 1: they see is miss Dawson. Wait, what's going on here?
Speaker 1: Also they decide to hide in plane sight. And by
Speaker 1: that I mean just there. One sits in a chair
Speaker 1: next to the wall. One kind of behind a plant.
Speaker 1: I mean it's just holding the camera like an inch
Speaker 1: from the It's it's.
Speaker 2: Not the camera on it is the word the worst
Speaker 2: hiding ever, it's just their bad hiders.
Speaker 1: Ye. So yes, So all of a sudden we see
Speaker 1: miss Dawson. What's she doing there? And then guess who
Speaker 1: appears mister Goldbloom? Wait what? And then the homeless man
Speaker 1: with the coat is being escorted out by security, and
Speaker 1: then missus Petrosian walks in. Then Miss Stearn. This is
Speaker 1: where I truly thought I was going insane. I felt
Speaker 1: like this was a David Lynch movie, but not a
Speaker 1: good one. This is the gang is in all fairness.
Speaker 1: They write to this, the gang is totally confused too.
Speaker 1: Just when they think you can't get any weirder, Detective
Speaker 1: Mini shows up for the exchange. He's the blackmailer, but
Speaker 1: Walker recognizes him as someone else. It's his boss, mister
Speaker 1: Glanville from the bank. You remember him, of course you do.
Speaker 1: Glanville set him up and stole the money, and now
Speaker 1: he wants it back, but we know Walker doesn't have it.
Speaker 1: This infuriates Glanville, who lunges for the briefcase and exposes
Speaker 1: the elaborate walkie talkie system. And by that I mean
Speaker 1: a giant microphone thing. I mean it's like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's secret service. Yikes.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: Yes, he might as well had a boombox on his
Speaker 1: on his shoulder. It was bad. Mini thinks he's wired
Speaker 1: for police, so he sprints off. The kids split up
Speaker 1: and try to find him, and we enter an intricate
Speaker 1: cat and mouse chase on many, many levels. We see
Speaker 1: the homeless man still running from security. When Lexi and
Speaker 1: Jack land in the basement, Glanville throws an empty barrel
Speaker 1: at them, because of course, what you need to do
Speaker 1: is run from two seventh graders, okay, and sets a
Speaker 1: pipe trap that snags Lexi's bracelet. She's saved by Jack,
Speaker 1: who of course gets a kiss on the cheek as
Speaker 1: a reward, but now their target at this point is
Speaker 1: long gone. They hear nearby muffled screaming, and Lexi finds
Speaker 1: Miss Dawson tied up with towels. She was tricked into
Speaker 1: a free spa day, and is shocked to hear mister
Speaker 1: Walker is in fact alive. Lexi would love to stop
Speaker 1: and chat more, but she needs to stop Walker's boss pronto.
Speaker 1: The homeless man, still in that goddamn jacket, barges into
Speaker 1: a convention hall at the hotel. It is a press conference,
Speaker 1: and he's introduces someone who's spent the last four weeks undercover,
Speaker 1: living on the streets of Brooklyn, and here with his
Speaker 1: story to tell ladies and gentlemen. It's Councilman Gary I Care,
Speaker 1: Gary I care this movie. In their obvious names, the
Speaker 1: crowd erupts an applause. By the way, we have no
Speaker 1: idea who this person is. Don't know what he has
Speaker 1: to do with the movie. It's a strange acting, like
Speaker 1: the whole performance is weird. We've never seen this guy before.
Speaker 2: Oh he like if he's been undercover, he probably hasn't showered.
Speaker 2: He's like putting his hand under people's noses.
Speaker 1: And then he's like looking at the jacket like it's
Speaker 1: the most in It was just one strange choice after another.
Speaker 1: But of course the crowd erupts an applause, just as
Speaker 1: Lexi and Jack creep inside. They hear the politicians say
Speaker 1: he's learned a lot about poverty in the gross gross,
Speaker 1: gross city of Brooklyn. Of course, because Brooklyn just keeps
Speaker 1: getting on during this entire movie. Many see his coat
Speaker 1: as an accessory, but now he knows it's also a
Speaker 1: form of shelter. The coat was the only active kindness
Speaker 1: he received while undercover, when a man gave it to
Speaker 1: him for warmth, and we know that man was mister Walker. Okay,
Speaker 1: but what does that have to do with Okay, This
Speaker 1: all hits Lexi like a ton of bricks. She's realizing
Speaker 1: she's a stuck up rat, and her dad is there
Speaker 1: covering the press conference and spots her. But no time
Speaker 1: to dwell on any of that negativity. The conniving boss
Speaker 1: darts by, and Jack and Lexi run to go get
Speaker 1: him again because we need to be caught by two
Speaker 1: seventh graders. Back in the hotel, Walker's finally reunited with
Speaker 1: Miss Dawson and they passionately embrace while his mom watches on. Also,
Speaker 1: why is she there? We never get into that. In
Speaker 1: a small break from the chase, Lexi has an idea.
Speaker 1: She puts on her rear viewing sunglasses. You know the
Speaker 1: ones from earlier. You remember those, right, of course you do. Well,
Speaker 1: she wears them, and this is and this way she
Speaker 1: can see the bad guys without turning her head. And
Speaker 1: so she then spots Glanville, who hides again in plain sight,
Speaker 1: just staring behind her at a desk. Jack jumps up
Speaker 1: and slides a cart, in turn hitting an elaborate and
Speaker 1: tall cake, flinging it into the air and landing all
Speaker 1: over the bad guy. This, like any pastry Wood knocks
Speaker 1: him to the ground and knocks him out cold, because
Speaker 1: that's what cake does. Cops, led by Detective Potter, who
Speaker 1: is now sands mustache and in Lexi's defense, looks so
Speaker 1: much better, arrest Glanville, and now Lexi fills us in
Speaker 1: on everything we now know or think we know. Miss
Speaker 1: Stearne actually liked mister Walker and was jealous of Miss Dawson.
Speaker 1: So she snooped around his place to see if she
Speaker 1: ran him out of town. But also mister Goldbloom, who
Speaker 1: was rejected by Miss Dawson, now found love with Miss
Speaker 1: Stearn big Old. Another swap we got. We're swapping all
Speaker 1: over the place lately. But even with this good news,
Speaker 1: unfortunately the cops still need to arrest mister Walker. He's
Speaker 1: just as guilty as Glanville. If he really was framed, well,
Speaker 1: then where is the ten million dollars? Great question? Where
Speaker 1: is this ten million bucks? Walker has no idea. He
Speaker 1: is defeated. But that's when Lexi notices mister Walker's Mom's
Speaker 1: brooch again. It's a unique bumblebee. Lexi wants to know
Speaker 1: where she got it, and this is where we get
Speaker 1: another flashback. It's the eighties and Walker's mom is in
Speaker 1: the bank to meet her son for lunch. She notices
Speaker 1: a paper bag on the floor and found the brooch inside.
Speaker 1: She assumed it belonged to someone at the bank, but
Speaker 1: the next day her son disappeared, and she says she
Speaker 1: had no way of returning it, but she could have
Speaker 1: just dropped it off the lost and found So I
Speaker 1: think it goes without saying.
Speaker 2: She's just hiding, Joli, right, he was, so he went
Speaker 2: into hiding, so she had to like kind of disappear too, right.
Speaker 1: But somebody just left it in a bag on the ground.
Speaker 1: In the bag.
Speaker 2: That was more of my question. Why would two Why
Speaker 2: would he do? Why would why would that happen?
Speaker 1: I don't know. But this is where Lexi reveals that
Speaker 1: broach has a certified canary diamond on it and there
Speaker 1: are only thirty that exists around the world. It's flawless
Speaker 1: and worth around wait for it, ten million bucks, So
Speaker 1: that's where the money went. Mini aka Boss Glanville admits
Speaker 1: he bought it to launder the money and figured Walker
Speaker 1: stole the jewel and left. This clears their teacher of
Speaker 1: any wrongdoing and the day is saved. As a result.
Speaker 1: We see Lexi's exclusive front page article about the whole
Speaker 1: situation all in the Examiner the very next day, because
Speaker 1: we know that these papers print really, really fast. I'm
Speaker 1: amazed that the second she didn't go wait a minute,
Speaker 1: that broach, there wasn't a picture of the newspaper of
Speaker 1: her holding the brooch that was literally published the minute
Speaker 1: she said it. It's like airplane in the beginning of
Speaker 1: Airplane where they take a picture of him jumping out
Speaker 1: of the truck and it's in the paper. Really as
Speaker 1: the second they do it, you don't know what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. To watch Airplane it great. Mister Walker is
Speaker 1: now a freeman and now he's marrying miss Dawson as
Speaker 1: the new Mister and Missus Walker or Mister and Missus
Speaker 1: Petrosian leave the ceremonies in a horse drawn carriage. Gabe
Speaker 1: once again storms Lexi with his camera. He wants to
Speaker 1: know her secret. How does she always get the inside scoop.
Speaker 1: She says there is no secret, it's just skill, and
Speaker 1: then we get a nice final moment between Jack and Lexi.
Speaker 1: She learns something from Jack. Things aren't always what they appear,
Speaker 1: like the fact that he's from smelly ass Brooklyn. But
Speaker 1: he's not smelly, He's cute. I love it. She hands
Speaker 1: him a bag. Instead of buying something for herself, she
Speaker 1: brought him vintage bowling shoes and customize them for a
Speaker 1: future date. Jenna is still grossed out about wearing old shoes,
Speaker 1: but Lexi has matured she's ready to wear somebody else's
Speaker 1: old nasty shoes. We get Lexi's final narration about how
Speaker 1: much she loves New York and if you can't find
Speaker 1: the beauty in the city, then you should get a clue.
Speaker 1: And that's the name of the movie. And also the
Speaker 1: end of the movie. Okay, well, this was a tough
Speaker 1: one for me. It wasn't awful, but it was the
Speaker 1: script was all over the place. I just didn't know
Speaker 1: what this was. But let's see what other people thought
Speaker 1: of it, and let's do some real reviews, and Sabrina,
Speaker 1: you get the fun. I'm gonna call it the fun
Speaker 1: star review because that's the fun one star review. This week,
Speaker 1: what do we got?
Speaker 2: We have a one star by Jenny two on July first,
Speaker 2: This movie is so fake. Okay, maybe there's a tad issue.
Speaker 2: I've had a bit. I've had the biggest crush on
Speaker 2: bug call Jack forever, but really this movie could have
Speaker 2: been better. And other than that, the characters are fashion freaks.
Speaker 3: What's up with that?
Speaker 1: Okay, well, there you go.
Speaker 3: With like July first of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Is this no? No, here's no, here's why we're doing
Speaker 1: that name. So her name is Jenny two. And on
Speaker 1: July first, she left that one star review and now
Speaker 1: I have the five star review which was left by
Speaker 1: Jenny two on July twenty second. That's why producer Jensen
Speaker 1: finds the.
Speaker 3: Goal this is of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: No, I don't. We don't know what year it is.
Speaker 1: It's just we're just showing that. On July first, she
Speaker 1: wrote a one star review, and on July twenty second,
Speaker 1: Jenny two wrote this five star review. I wrote a
Speaker 1: one star review before, but I definitely want to change that.
Speaker 1: This movie is absolutely unrealistic but nonetheless entertaining. It kept
Speaker 1: me entertained, and I'll definitely see it again. If it
Speaker 1: comes out on video, I'll own it. Thanks Jenny two.
Speaker 1: I am now as confused as I was when I
Speaker 1: was watching the film. And now we come to Sabrina's
Speaker 1: favorite part of the podcast. By the way, I know
Speaker 1: everybody thinks it sounds like I dodne this movie. The
Speaker 1: entire time, I wasn't trying to. It's it's thank you
Speaker 1: for what it is. But the story was just all
Speaker 1: over the place, and it was confusing and weird, and
Speaker 1: the tone was weird, and it kept changing, and so
Speaker 1: that's what I say. But anyway, we are now up
Speaker 1: to our feature presentation made once again by producer Jensen. Uh,
Speaker 1: and it's called this week, solve this in honor of
Speaker 1: Lexi in her mystery solving ways. The two of us
Speaker 1: must work together to solve three of these five riddles.
Speaker 1: Like we're Lexi and Jake. Good luck to us. All right,
Speaker 1: So let's figure out what we're gonna do here the
Speaker 1: whole time we're doing it, all right? Is that alright
Speaker 1: with you? There?
Speaker 4: Sabrina's next sentence, you have now say in a regular
Speaker 4: voice exactly and uh.
Speaker 1: And then after that we're gonna do some cool stuff
Speaker 1: because I'm for Brooklyn or whatever's so here we go.
Speaker 1: Number one, What comes once in a minute, twice in
Speaker 1: a moment, but never in a thousand years? I have
Speaker 1: a really the answer, so I'm not gonna say it. Okay,
Speaker 1: what comes once in a minute, twice in a moment,
Speaker 1: but never in a thousand years.
Speaker 4: We've gotta put time limits on these two.
Speaker 1: So okay, God, once in a minute, twice in a moment,
Speaker 1: but never in a thousand years.
Speaker 3: I don't know, twice in a moment.
Speaker 1: Oh, I think I know what it is, Okay. I
Speaker 1: think it's the letter M.
Speaker 4: It is the letter M.
Speaker 1: Okay, good.
Speaker 4: Wow on a tear to start?
Speaker 1: Here we go one for one? There we go, okay.
Speaker 4: Number I want to go like I don't know, to
Speaker 4: take a break or whatever, whatever.
Speaker 1: You want to do. It just has some answer.
Speaker 3: That's awesome.
Speaker 1: Number two, which word in the dictionary is spelled incorrectly?
Speaker 3: Incorrectly?
Speaker 4: We've done it one for Sabrina, one for will, one
Speaker 4: more and they get it correct. I will, I will
Speaker 4: eat crow if this is great?
Speaker 1: Number three. Carlos's height is six feet. He's an assistant
Speaker 1: at a butcher shop and wears size nine shoes. What
Speaker 1: is he weigh?
Speaker 3: What does he weigh? Does it like meat?
Speaker 1: Meat? Would be my answer?
Speaker 4: Three for three you guys, yes, yes, the sound of celebration. Here?
Speaker 1: Should we do the last two?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 1: Here's the last two?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 1: Number four. When it is alive, we sing. When it
Speaker 1: is dead, we clap our hands. What is it?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: God?
Speaker 1: When it is alive, we sing d the four. When
Speaker 1: it is dead, we clap our hands. What is it? Oh?
Speaker 3: When it is a five?
Speaker 1: We sing when it's dead like top our hands?
Speaker 2: Is it? Well?
Speaker 3: That's too easy?
Speaker 4: Probably may uh in praises it's a birthday candle.
Speaker 1: Oh? Okay, that's interesting, all right. I like that one
Speaker 1: and number five. If two is company and three is
Speaker 1: a crowd, what are four and five? I think the
Speaker 1: answer is nine. The answer is nine.
Speaker 4: Unbelievable showing by both of you. This is truly maybe
Speaker 4: your best performance.
Speaker 1: I think I am secretly a detectively whatever.
Speaker 3: You're and Mikayla did it. We we got all of them.
Speaker 3: We got all of them once.
Speaker 1: She's going to pretend that happened. I'm not sure that's
Speaker 1: actually happened.
Speaker 4: Or I mean, number one, you didn't get all of them.
Speaker 4: You still.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: You said our best performance, and I'm saying I think
Speaker 2: we actually got all of them ones, but you weren't
Speaker 2: there to see it.
Speaker 3: It was like the one episode you haven't been here.
Speaker 1: It's a tree far exactly exactly. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, boy. And now we're gonna go to
Speaker 1: if there are any left? Are there any Sabrina sees
Speaker 1: left or did already see?
Speaker 2: I saw most of these and have said almost all
Speaker 2: of them, except there were a few, like continuity things
Speaker 2: that kind of jumped out of me that.
Speaker 3: I didn't love.
Speaker 2: Okay, but that's just being super picky and looking obviously
Speaker 2: it didn't make a difference of the storyline or anything,
Speaker 2: but her red giant heel the first sweep that we get,
Speaker 2: you know, you always kind of wonder when they film
Speaker 2: those and what we're But the first sweep we see
Speaker 2: her heel pretty close to like the I guess kind
Speaker 2: of closet.
Speaker 3: Computer.
Speaker 2: And then she also like her looks like her nighttime
Speaker 2: routine right would be this like mask thing. And then
Speaker 2: the very next time we see her go to bed,
Speaker 2: the heel has moved in her room. That's a big
Speaker 2: piece of furniture to move, so that was weird to me.
Speaker 2: And then she didn't have the mask thing. I told
Speaker 2: you already. I was thinking that this was a dream that.
Speaker 1: The entire time.
Speaker 2: And then we didn't mention that the mister Meanie slash
Speaker 2: mister Detective Meanie slash Granville was our vampire from Mom's
Speaker 2: had a date with a vampire.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we do that just at the beginning, at the beginning, okay.
Speaker 2: And then just one of those small little things that
Speaker 2: I'm gonna always look look out for is anytime there's gadgets,
Speaker 2: is we saw what kind of eludes as an Apple watch,
Speaker 2: which I was like, oh, we got our like smart
Speaker 2: house little situation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got an Apple watch in the movie.
Speaker 2: And then I think that the last thing is and
Speaker 2: I know it was a con, but I feel like
Speaker 2: there would actually be a spa at where at the
Speaker 2: hotel they were.
Speaker 3: But that was the jankis like grosses locker room for
Speaker 3: a spa. If that was a.
Speaker 2: Spot, like, I would never because you know, spa, you're
Speaker 2: like some you know, you're wearing sandals and whatever, like, oh,
Speaker 2: that place looks so dirty and nasty. So she should
Speaker 2: have left far before she got taped up and accosted.
Speaker 1: I guess fair enough.
Speaker 2: I like this.
Speaker 1: And now, of course we come to the portion of
Speaker 1: our program where we have to rate our film, and
Speaker 1: we get to pick what we're rating. I picked last
Speaker 1: time because I wanted to hear you say the word pooh.
Speaker 1: So you're gonna get to pick this time. We're gonna
Speaker 1: do one out of ten, as we always do, one
Speaker 1: of course being the worst, ten being the best. Sunday
Speaker 1: we're gonna switch it, but not today. Do you want
Speaker 1: to do one out of ten? Rich people? Bacon slices,
Speaker 1: one out of ten, lip raccoons grieving slow most struts,
Speaker 1: Ugh one out of ten crossed finger lies, one out
Speaker 1: of ten gross Brooklynites shirts that say Navy thrown empty barrels,
Speaker 1: or one out of ten stolen brooches. What would you
Speaker 1: like to do, Sabrina?
Speaker 3: I think because it was so weird, we gotta go.
Speaker 2: With the grieving slow most struts I agree with. It
Speaker 2: just felt so weird and didn't make any sense in
Speaker 2: any way, so we've got to go with those.
Speaker 1: I love it, and I'll go first, because I think
Speaker 1: he went first last time. Sure, this movie was very
Speaker 1: garbled for me, it was not awful by any stretch.
Speaker 1: I get what, I get what they're going for. I
Speaker 1: love a good mystery. There are better versions of kid
Speaker 1: mystery movies than this one. The thing that made this
Speaker 1: slightly above average to me was the cast. Forget the
Speaker 1: bad accents, which of which there were a plethora. The
Speaker 1: kids are enjoyable, engaging. Lindsay Lohan's obviously a great actor,
Speaker 1: Brenda Song's a great actor. The guys were good, the
Speaker 1: adults were good. It was fine. That's the That's the
Speaker 1: thing that saved it for me for being a totally
Speaker 1: average movie to a slightly above average movie. So I'm
Speaker 1: giving this six Grieving Slow most struts, all right.
Speaker 2: I would say the same in the sense of there
Speaker 2: was parts that were confusing, parts a little overwhelming, like
Speaker 2: I said with the House, and like all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: this just information is just getting thrown at you. And however,
Speaker 2: part of this podcast that I love so much is
Speaker 2: the nostalgia. And again because Lohan is coming out of
Speaker 2: the woodworks and she's just having this revival and I'm
Speaker 2: really really excited to see where she goes with her career,
Speaker 2: it is nice to during this time look back at
Speaker 2: one of the things she did while she was getting
Speaker 2: into her you know, her main golden hour that we've
Speaker 2: seen her in before.
Speaker 3: So I gave it a little bit more.
Speaker 2: I enjoyed it a little bit more, I think, And
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna do seven Grieving Slow Motion, okay, But
Speaker 2: I do have to say at the end of it
Speaker 2: might not be the greatest. It did make me want
Speaker 2: to watch Harriet the Spy because I feel like it
Speaker 2: I have been.
Speaker 3: A better version of what this movie was.
Speaker 1: I've never seen Harriet the Spy too, but I know
Speaker 1: that the kind of history of Harriett the Spy and
Speaker 1: the idea that people really loved Harriet the Spy, so
Speaker 1: I think I think it probably is a better version
Speaker 1: of this. Well, thank you all for joining us and
Speaker 1: not listening to a better version of our podcast somewhere else,
Speaker 1: and you're listening to our version. And thank you Jenny
Speaker 1: two for a one star and five star review this week.
