Speaker 1: We just talked about it off Mike, but we got
Speaker 1: to talk about it on Mike. Now, how are you
Speaker 1: doing with daylight saving time?
Speaker 2: Every year?

Speaker 3: not better than the other for me.
Speaker 4: Come on, it's better when you gain sleep.
Speaker 2: Though, Yeah, but then I'm like tired at night.

Speaker 2: He goes to bed at eight?
Speaker 3: My kids are they're late, late sleepers like they you know,
Speaker 3: they don't they're they're they're party animals.
Speaker 1: So I remember growing up it was seriously like my

Speaker 1: hear the kids playing on the street.
Speaker 4: That's oh that is This was like seven thirty or something,
Speaker 4: it's still light quarter of.
Speaker 3: Eight, and it's like, letcher's not as good as a sleeper.

Speaker 3: the couch and put me ond of a TV for
Speaker 3: ten minutes.
Speaker 2: I'm out, it's are you still that way? Oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4: Wait, you'll fall asleep when you're driving.
Speaker 3: Oh yeahd hypnotizes me at night time like bad the
Speaker 3: line and so I just really honestly try to keep
Speaker 3: my driving to a minimum at my dob Okay, because.
Speaker 2: I just get sleepy. I fall asleep on planes before
Speaker 2: we pull out.
Speaker 1: That's fine, but it's when you're actually operating the vehicle.

Speaker 2: It's not so I don't.
Speaker 4: Okay, important, safe, very responsible, important, safe to tip, stay
Speaker 4: safe out there, everybody.
Speaker 1: Well, welcome back to Magical Rewind, the show that makes
Speaker 1: you want to grab your friends, your PJS and your
Speaker 1: popcorn and go back to a time and all the
Speaker 1: houses are smart, the.
Speaker 4: Wave tsunamis and the high School's musical.
Speaker 2: I'm Will for Dell, and I'm Sabrina Brien.
Speaker 1: So break out the camquarder and document our journey as
Speaker 1: we cry our way through two thousand and two's True Confessions.
Speaker 1: First off, I'd like to point out this is true
Speaker 1: without an ee. Don't you dare put a fee on there,
Speaker 1: or we're going to shut this whole place down.
Speaker 2: It's going down good time.
Speaker 1: This dramatic dcom debut on the Disney Channel April fifth,
Speaker 1: two thousand and two, and it's based on the debut
Speaker 1: young adult novel of the same name.
Speaker 4: From writer Jeanette Tajjin.
Speaker 1: The nineteen ninety seven book is written in the format
Speaker 1: of a diary and uses lists and illustrations, all set
Speaker 1: to look like it's from a computer, and the book
Speaker 1: was a very big hit, translated into many languages. It
Speaker 1: was named a New York Public Library Favorite for teens
Speaker 1: and won multiple awards, including the Dolly Gray Children's Literature Award.
Speaker 1: Tashin is still writing today, working on a few different
Speaker 1: popular series of books, including My Life as Einstein, The
Speaker 1: Class Hamster, and Marty Frye Private Eye. I don't know
Speaker 1: what that is, but man, I want to read it.
Speaker 1: Any books that.
Speaker 2: Rhyme, I'm in It's so good.
Speaker 4: If the book rhymes, I'll read it a hundred times.
Speaker 1: And she often collaborates with her son Jake, who illustrates
Speaker 1: the novels. But this is the only one of her
Speaker 1: books ever adapted into a movie. It was filmed in
Speaker 1: Wait for It, Toronto. Yes, I'd love to see it again.
Speaker 1: Coin Flip is once again in Canada. We get some
Speaker 1: shots of the famous sea on Tower and the school
Speaker 1: scenes are all at Danceforth College and Technical Institute, which
Speaker 1: answers a question I think we.
Speaker 4: All had later, and we will talk about that, Sabrina.
Speaker 1: Did you know True Confessions existed before or we were
Speaker 1: assigned to watch this one?
Speaker 3: I did, I had not watched it yet, but this
Speaker 3: was right at the beginning of The Cheetah Girls. We
Speaker 3: filmed in twenty twenty or twenty sorry, two thousand and two, right,
Speaker 3: we filmed it. And I remember this was a big
Speaker 3: one because it really took Shia Labuff from being that funny.
Speaker 2: You know, just crazy character to be like such a
Speaker 2: real like.
Speaker 3: I remember the actors in the Disney Channel at that
Speaker 3: time saying, like Disney's giving us a chance to really
Speaker 3: be something different than what we've got to do on
Speaker 3: our regular shows.
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of buzz around this one.
Speaker 4: And it was coy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it certainly wasn't a wasn't a dcom like we've seen.
Speaker 2: I mean, well, yeah, we've seen a couple, couple of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple, but this was certainly taking it to
Speaker 1: the next level. I of course, again everybody knows, I
Speaker 1: don't even talk about this anymore. Of course I didn't
Speaker 1: know anything about this, Okay, So let's get this out
Speaker 1: of the way now. We said this would happen at
Speaker 1: some point in the show. But did it happen this quickly?
Speaker 1: Did we both cry? Did you cry, Sabrina?
Speaker 2: Of course I cried. Will Yes.
Speaker 3: I started weeping, like at the very beginning because I knew.
Speaker 3: I knew what Shia's character was, so I was ready
Speaker 3: for that. But just you hit me with a field
Speaker 3: and two kids and matching overalls that I'm dead.
Speaker 4: That was it.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh God, this is gonna be a
Speaker 3: sobfest for me. WHOA, okay, I'm please tell.
Speaker 1: Me you did No, I didn't cry. Oh I didn't cry.
Speaker 1: It just I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: It didn't. It didn't get me like that. It didn't
Speaker 4: get me. Nice movie, you know.
Speaker 1: I But no, It's it takes a lot to make
Speaker 1: me cry at something.
Speaker 4: I mean, it really does.
Speaker 1: There's like I can list three or four things that
Speaker 1: make me cry all the time. But other than that,
Speaker 1: like I am basically a robot with my emotions when
Speaker 1: it comes to stem, I just don't because it takes
Speaker 1: a lot to get me so lost into a project,
Speaker 1: like into a picture that I'm I'm weeping at something
Speaker 1: and sometimes it happens at strange times.
Speaker 4: But no, I didn't I didn't.
Speaker 3: I was like in it, I think a little bit
Speaker 3: because I knew it, like what kind of character was happening.
Speaker 2: So I was ready for it.
Speaker 1: But I was I was in it in and we'll
Speaker 1: get into this. I was in it because I was
Speaker 1: watching and I've said this before, arguably one of the
Speaker 1: greatest child actors ever that's ever acted in the history
Speaker 1: of child actors. And again, his career is what it
Speaker 1: is now and we'll get into that as well, and
Speaker 1: he could be one of the greatest actors of his generation.
Speaker 1: But as a child actor, I mean, he's one of
Speaker 1: the best that's ever done it. So that's kind of
Speaker 1: what I was watching more than anything else.
Speaker 4: But with some very heavy subject matter.
Speaker 1: This won't be the same decom category as say a
Speaker 1: high school musical.
Speaker 4: Or a Johnny Tsunami.
Speaker 1: But I wanted to talk about the role of the
Speaker 1: drama in the history of these films and what do
Speaker 1: we think of a sad drama when we analyze the
Speaker 1: entire pantheon of Disney Channel original movies. So, yes, there's
Speaker 1: a lot going on with this movie. It is completely
Speaker 1: different than most of the stuff we've seen, even with
Speaker 1: stuff like color Friends and things like that.
Speaker 4: It's it's not kind of the same as this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it it hits again.
Speaker 3: It just shows Disney's range that they are it does
Speaker 3: they're going. It shows the range of these incredible actors
Speaker 3: that they have in these movies. Yeah, like we said,
Speaker 3: the talent level is just unbelievable, but the writers that
Speaker 3: they bring in, the directors that take on these this
Speaker 3: is this is just I think such. It was such
Speaker 3: a cool movie to watch in the sense we've just
Speaker 3: seen some really great ones here recently.
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, it's like.
Speaker 3: It's just awesome, and this one was a different, different
Speaker 3: kind of great, you know what I mean. It was like,
Speaker 3: oh man, this is great, but it's like not like
Speaker 3: what we just watched, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It wasn't. It wasn't. It wasn't some Corbin Blue.
Speaker 4: You know. I thought it was good.
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was great. I know, and I know,
Speaker 1: I mean it was and I don't know. I will
Speaker 1: I'm going to try and try to work out my
Speaker 1: feelings because we'll get into it. But anyway, let's go
Speaker 1: push a bully off a bridge because it's time for
Speaker 1: a synopsis.
Speaker 2: Shove that dude.
Speaker 1: Ah Yeah, I cheered teenager, true walker and inspiring filmmaker
Speaker 1: documents her life and the challenges of having a twin brother, Eddie,
Speaker 1: who has an intellectual disability. Through her frustrations and their
Speaker 1: undeniable love, she gains a deeper understanding of family, empathy
Speaker 1: and self acceptance.
Speaker 4: All right, so I think we heard your thoughts. You
Speaker 4: loved this movie you were in.
Speaker 1: I did not dislike this movie by any stretch of
Speaker 1: the imagination. I thought the story was a little bit muddled. Frankly,
Speaker 1: I thought it could have used a rewrite. Just strictly
Speaker 1: from that standpoint, I thought some of the character turns
Speaker 1: didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
Speaker 4: They went back and forth.
Speaker 1: From I'm very happy I hate you in like sometimes
Speaker 1: one sentence and it's like wow. Maybe that's indicative of
Speaker 1: being a teenager at the time. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: it came off as a little abrupt to me. But again,
Speaker 1: the acting was bar none. The cast was incredible. I
Speaker 1: had some questions, but we will get into those.
Speaker 3: If I had a critique, I think it could have
Speaker 3: gone farther.
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe that was it.
Speaker 3: With his disabilities, it could have go on farther to
Speaker 3: as far as showing like the kind of bullying that's someone.
Speaker 1: That see Maybe you're right, maybe that's what I needed,
Speaker 1: more of his day to day life than the family life.
Speaker 1: But it was really about the family, So maybe it
Speaker 1: was Maybe it was unbalanced, is what I was kind
Speaker 1: of feeling. Yeah, But again, the director of the directing, acting,
Speaker 1: and the directing I thought for this one, and Kidden,
Speaker 1: who directed it was I thought.
Speaker 4: Way ahead of its time.
Speaker 1: But anyway, as predicted as the day is long, this
Speaker 1: movie is directed by the legendary Paul Hohen Oh, yes,
Speaker 1: Paul Hoan again friend of the pod, the man who's
Speaker 1: directed everything in the history of Disney. Who else could
Speaker 1: it be? He is two D coms, what Tom Hanks is?
Speaker 1: Two movies about World War two. Week after week we
Speaker 1: seem to review only his films. But as a reminder,
Speaker 1: here are some of his greatest hits. I feel like
Speaker 1: our lovely listeners can speak them along with us because
Speaker 1: we say him every week. Camp Rock to Luck of
Speaker 1: the Irish, the entire Zombies franchise, Cheetah Girls, One World
Speaker 1: and read It and weep and Dad napped, Dad napped?
Speaker 2: What we just did to jump in?
Speaker 4: Jump in and jump again.
Speaker 1: If we just talked about his movies all the time,
Speaker 1: that would be the hour that we're talking.
Speaker 2: Is just Paul Howan Won or whatever that we haven't
Speaker 2: seen yet. I can't wait.
Speaker 4: And he's million dollar bake off. We've got so many.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this guy makes the D and d COM stand
Speaker 1: for director Paul Howan, So yes, that means d COM
Speaker 1: stands for director Paul Hoan.
Speaker 4: Channel original movie. And let's get to the cast.
Speaker 1: Of course, because this was just bar Nunn. First up
Speaker 1: is Clara Bryant, who I thought maybe could be related
Speaker 1: to you if you added a T.
Speaker 4: To your name, but you didn't.
Speaker 2: She's a mix of me and Kobe exactly.
Speaker 1: She's playing Trudy true Walker. Clara was not a newbie
Speaker 1: when it came to the Channel. She was the first
Speaker 1: ever d com star in under Wraps from nineteen ninety seven. Again,
Speaker 1: depending on where you consider the d comdo started, and
Speaker 1: I know we will be arguing back and forth on
Speaker 1: where that actually is with Zooge and Disney Channel Original
Speaker 1: Movies and everything else, but under Wraps a lot of
Speaker 1: people consider the first one ever, and she was the
Speaker 1: first ever d com star.
Speaker 4: She's a Pioneer. She was also the star of a
Speaker 4: very short lived.
Speaker 1: TGIF sitcom called Billy, and appeared on Roseanne, Star Trek,
Speaker 1: d Space nine and Buffy the Vampire Slayer Awesome List,
Speaker 1: but left the business around two thousand and seven to
Speaker 1: attend some small little university called Columbia. Then he was
Speaker 1: a graduate of the University of Georgia School of Law.
Speaker 1: And she's now a corporate counsel for Swiss log and
Speaker 1: a mother of two.
Speaker 2: Wow, get it, Clara, so me?
Speaker 1: I mean we have this is She's not the first
Speaker 1: of these actors we've seen that have gone on to
Speaker 1: tremendous things outside of the business, and she is one
Speaker 1: of them. Next, of course, we have Shilah buff As
Speaker 1: Eddie Bryant. Beginning his career at twelve years old, Shia
Speaker 1: has grown up in the spotlight, both good and very bad.
Speaker 1: Though he appeared on TV shows like X Files and
Speaker 1: Freaks and Geeks at a young age, he first broke
Speaker 1: out for the Disney Channel crowd or just the Disney
Speaker 1: crowd in the movie Holes.
Speaker 4: Phenomenally good movie.
Speaker 1: I know it wasn't technically adcom, but hopefully we'll get
Speaker 1: to review it because it's one of my favorites.
Speaker 4: Then on the classic show of course even Stevens.
Speaker 1: Which would become a DCM that we've already covered here
Speaker 1: a magical rewinds go back and check that out. But
Speaker 1: buff would enter adulthood and the rise to start him
Speaker 1: after his appearance on HBO's Project green Light, landing roles
Speaker 1: in I Robot, Transformers, Indiana Jones, and the Wall Street sequel,
Speaker 1: he became one of the more erratic infamous method actors,
Speaker 1: focusing on art films like Lars von Truer's Ninfomatiact Volumes
Speaker 1: and even creating a loud performance art career for himself.
Speaker 1: But sadly, though proving himself as one of the most
Speaker 1: arguably impressive actors of his entire generation, he has battled
Speaker 1: controversies and numerous concerning allegations that have held back his career.
Speaker 1: He appeared in last year's massive bomb Megalopolis, But here's
Speaker 1: to hoping he gets his life together and is able
Speaker 1: to work in a craft he was born to excel in.
Speaker 1: If he could just get out of his own way,
Speaker 1: he would truly be one of the greatest in the
Speaker 1: history of Hollywood, and that is not hyperbole.
Speaker 4: Are you a Shia fan.
Speaker 2: I am a Shia fan of his work. Absolutely.
Speaker 3: He did date Keeley for a while, so's I actually
Speaker 3: know Shia and got to know his good friend Lorezzo
Speaker 3: as well, and we had such fun times together, just
Speaker 3: as like so fun.
Speaker 2: But you know, when your best sees and her boyfriend
Speaker 2: break up, that's kind of the end of your.
Speaker 4: Break, you know, you that's your right or die. I
Speaker 4: love that, that's absolutely.
Speaker 3: But as far as his work goes, I just think
Speaker 3: it's it's you can't question it. He's just a phenomenal actor.
Speaker 3: When he gets on this on any screen, big or small,
Speaker 3: he freaking shines.
Speaker 1: So you know, he's one of those people, especially when
Speaker 1: you see him when he's eleven twelve years old, he's
Speaker 1: one of those people that you say, born to do this. Yes,
Speaker 1: raw talent from the time you were born, and this
Speaker 1: is what you were meant to do. So here's to
Speaker 1: hoping he has a wonderful career because we're all missing
Speaker 1: out as fans and not being able to see him.
Speaker 2: But we need more Shia in our lives.
Speaker 5: You do.
Speaker 1: But he's got to get out of his own way,
Speaker 1: and some of the allegations are pretty scary anyway.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Mayor Winningham is mom.
Speaker 1: Ginny Mayor is one of the original and less mentioned
Speaker 1: members of one of the greatest troops of all time,
Speaker 1: the Brat Pack, a group of young actors who took
Speaker 1: Hollywood by storm in the eighties. She broke out in
Speaker 1: the movie Sane Almo's Fire, which, if you go back
Speaker 1: and watch it sucks. It's an awful movie, alongside fellow
Speaker 1: PAC members Amilia Westevez, rob Lo, Demi Moore, Ali Sheety,
Speaker 1: and many more. She also appeared in movies like Turner
Speaker 1: and Hooch, Swing Vote, and Mildred Plays, and as far
Speaker 1: as TV, she's been on Grey's Anatomy, Dope Sick, four
Speaker 1: seasons of American Horror Story. She's just does it all.
Speaker 1: And here's a fun trivia question. Who was her high
Speaker 1: school boyfriend?
Speaker 4: Hmm? Her high school boyfriend was Val Kilmer.
Speaker 1: She was also Oscar nominated for her part in the
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety five movie Georgia, and was nominated for two
Speaker 1: Tony's and won two Emmys for her performances in TV
Speaker 1: mini series or movies.
Speaker 4: She's incredibly great. What to get for this movie? It
Speaker 4: is just stacking this cast one after another.
Speaker 3: Again you're just going, oh my gosh. I mean on screen,
Speaker 3: I was just like, wow, gep.
Speaker 4: It.
Speaker 1: Is what the It showed what, especially in the early
Speaker 1: two thousands, what Disney Channel thought of their d coms
Speaker 1: and thought where they were gonna go. Where they could
Speaker 1: do a movie like this and then a movie like
Speaker 1: Cheetah Girls within a couple of years of each other.
Speaker 1: It's like, we're gonna run the gamut, and it was
Speaker 1: very impressive. William Francis McGuire is Dad Bob. He's been
Speaker 1: seeing in movies like Day After Tomorrow and Mission Impossible
Speaker 1: three and TV shows like The Mentalist.
Speaker 4: And Jack, which is what my dad did for a living.
Speaker 1: He currently is teaching acting at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, California,
Speaker 1: where my wife is from. Once again, I'm thinking all
Speaker 1: of this about myself.
Speaker 2: Oh see.
Speaker 1: Kevin Dehaney is friend Jake. He played a young Dave
Speaker 1: Chappelle and Half Baked Great movie would later become the
Speaker 1: Blue Dino thunder Power Ranger on Power Rangers SPD.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 1: You may have also seen him in the movies Honey
Speaker 1: or Four Brothers, and he now has a very prolific
Speaker 1: career in voice acting.
Speaker 4: I hope I get a chance to work with him someday.
Speaker 4: And then Yanni Gelman is Billy.
Speaker 1: He is best known Rewinders as Paolo in the Lizzie
Speaker 1: McGuire movie, and he's a well established TV actor from
Speaker 1: the Famous Jet Jackson to The Young and the Restless
Speaker 1: to Pretty Little Liars, where he.
Speaker 4: Played Garrett Reynolds.
Speaker 1: Now, I know this one doesn't quite have the big
Speaker 1: names for the lower down cast as something that you know,
Speaker 1: like jump In did, But what did you think of
Speaker 1: this cast?
Speaker 4: All the way around?
Speaker 2: I think it was great. I honestly, I loved the
Speaker 2: two friends. They kind of the one girl kind of
Speaker 2: irritated me here and.
Speaker 3: There, but just because that was that's not her fault,
Speaker 3: that that was her character, her character irritated me. But
Speaker 3: I thought all around, I mean, you know, I thought
Speaker 3: that there was moments that it felt very real when
Speaker 3: it comes to like what you.
Speaker 2: Think of dealing with the teenage daughter.
Speaker 3: Like, I thought the parents handled their characters very well,
Speaker 3: and the kids really like stepped into, you know, the
Speaker 3: drama of what it would be like to watch their friend,
Speaker 3: you know, go through something like this.
Speaker 2: So I thought they were all very like easy too
Speaker 2: easy to take and I love that.
Speaker 1: I thought this was truly a movie that I think
Speaker 1: hits you differently if you have children. Oh yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: if you watch it as as an older adult or
Speaker 1: and you've got kids.
Speaker 4: I think this is different than somebody who doesn't have children.
Speaker 4: I just I do. But anyway, Yeah.
Speaker 1: As I mentioned earlier, this is based on a book,
Speaker 1: so the writer, Jeanette Tajin, gets a credit and she
Speaker 1: shares it with good old Ironsides and named Disney approached
Speaker 1: whenever they needed a dcom heavy hitter. Former Magical Rewind
Speaker 1: guest and friend of the Pods Stu Krieger.
Speaker 4: He is the daddy of the dcom and he has returned.
Speaker 1: We know his work from movies like Xenon, Smart House,
Speaker 1: Going to the Mat, Gotta Kick It Up, the poof Point,
Speaker 1: cow Bells.
Speaker 4: List goes on and on and on again.
Speaker 1: As I said, he was a former guest of ours
Speaker 1: and the conversation was great, So please go listen to it,
Speaker 1: even if you have to pause this one able to
Speaker 1: listen to that, because it's worth it.
Speaker 4: He is that cool amazing.
Speaker 1: Okay, get the tissues ready, gang, at least for Sabrina
Speaker 1: let's get into true confessions. We open with two little
Speaker 1: kids and Sabrina crying, a brother and a sister in
Speaker 1: overalls running carelessly through a field. Right on que we
Speaker 1: hear a female voice, our narrator True. She thinks it's
Speaker 1: funny that people on TV always live perfect lives. We
Speaker 1: see some photos and footage of them now as teenagers.
Speaker 1: They're twins Eddie and True. True admits she's obsessed with
Speaker 1: her camcorder as we see footage of her brother winning
Speaker 1: at what we think is the Special Olympics.
Speaker 4: And then we're in her room.
Speaker 1: Yes, the trope has returned, even if we didn't open
Speaker 1: right with it.
Speaker 4: It is here.
Speaker 1: It is back, baby, even if it's only for a
Speaker 1: few seconds. We see a lot of photographs of her
Speaker 1: family and friends, and we see scattered VHS tapes of
Speaker 1: movies she makes with classmates who are annoyed.
Speaker 4: By how much she documents.
Speaker 1: And again, now everybody's used to that, everybody's used to
Speaker 1: having their phone in their hand and filming everything.
Speaker 4: But back in the day you got you had to
Speaker 4: work for it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, if you wanted to document everything, you've got
Speaker 1: the super eight cam quorder going on all the time, and.
Speaker 4: I can see how that would get annoying for your friends.
Speaker 4: I was that person you were you. Did you ever
Speaker 4: get a video, Cameron, You're in your hands all time.
Speaker 3: Wait, I've got a shoe box filled with those mini DVDs,
Speaker 3: the minidvs. Yeah, yeah, and there I've got It's from
Speaker 3: like our whole first tour on the Cheetah Girls that
Speaker 3: I would love to sort through.
Speaker 2: But you can't watch them anymore because I don't have it.
Speaker 2: You know you can.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't believe the synergy we just
Speaker 1: found Sabrina. Throw them all in the Legacy box. Send
Speaker 1: them the Legacy box, and they digitize everything fun.
Speaker 2: I'm so scared someone will take them, and.
Speaker 1: So no one's gonna take anything and do them with them.
Speaker 1: They are a Pod Meets World sponsor. They are wonderful.
Speaker 1: Sending the Legacy box. We've been sending in all our stuff.
Speaker 4: They are great. Look at the synergy Boom just got
Speaker 4: in a commercial. Thank you. Seriously, throw them in a box.
Speaker 4: You'll get them all back.
Speaker 1: It is amazing, and you get to watch everything We've
Speaker 1: been watching stuff from Boy Meets World where Rider was
Speaker 1: taking behind the scenes footage watching it again has been incredible,
Speaker 1: So there you go, shout out to our friends at
Speaker 1: the Legacy box.
Speaker 4: So uh yeah. Anyway, her friends are not feeling it.
Speaker 1: True won't be happy until she turns her life into
Speaker 1: a sitcom, which she's fine with because no matter how
Speaker 1: big the problems are on TV, by the final commercial,
Speaker 1: it's all worked out. Her reality is harsh, but she'd
Speaker 1: much rather live.
Speaker 4: Life in the tube.
Speaker 1: Off the ferry and now biking across beautiful Toronto, and
Speaker 1: it is absolutely beautiful. The three friends end up at
Speaker 1: True's house, where they're welcomed by her brother Eddie, flashing
Speaker 1: a camera in their faces.
Speaker 4: Yelling paparazzi paparazzi.
Speaker 1: True is not thrilled with the jump scare, and he
Speaker 1: really does not know when to give up. Eventually he's
Speaker 1: stopped by their mom, returning home from the day at work.
Speaker 1: We get an awkward silence here, and Denise and Jack
Speaker 1: realize it might be time to go home. True is mad,
Speaker 1: but Eddie isn't sure what he did wrong, And here
Speaker 1: it becomes more obvious that Eddie does have a mental impairment.
Speaker 1: It's worth noting now we do have to say this.
Speaker 1: Of course, the times were then what they are they
Speaker 1: are different now, and look at the past through the
Speaker 1: lens of the future never works.
Speaker 4: However, you do have.
Speaker 1: To point out that the portrayal of disabilities and TV
Speaker 1: and movies appears to still be an evolving standard, with
Speaker 1: more and more actors who are actually part of the
Speaker 1: affected communities finally getting a chance to portray themselves. But
Speaker 1: it's a very new trend, and coincidentally, Shia was early
Speaker 1: on in this development. In the great movie Peter butterfalcon
Speaker 1: Co starring Zach Gottzigen, an actor became the first person
Speaker 1: with Down syndrome to be a presenter at the Academy Awards,
Speaker 1: which he did with Shia. So this is a great
Speaker 1: change has taken place over the last few years, and
Speaker 1: if they did it now, you probably would not see
Speaker 1: Shia in this role anymore in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4: But this was two thousand and two and this is
Speaker 4: just how it was done.
Speaker 1: Eddie re enters the house ashamed and True doesn't let up.
Speaker 1: Their mom tries to step in, but True is fed
Speaker 1: up with her brother getting his way. He explains he
Speaker 1: just wanted to be funny, but she's still seeing white
Speaker 1: spots and he chased away all of her friends. He
Speaker 1: says he's sorry, and True, of course reluctantly forgives him.
Speaker 1: A very affected Eddie goes off to work on some homework,
Speaker 1: leaving True alone with her mom. Ginny is not happy
Speaker 1: with her daughter, and True doesn't understand the double standard
Speaker 1: her mom has for her kids, but Eddie doesn't want
Speaker 1: to feel left out, and then we see that Eddie
Speaker 1: secretly is listening from the stairs. True doesn't understand how
Speaker 1: her brother can't do anything wrong, but she can't do
Speaker 1: anything right. She storms off, which becomes a big motif
Speaker 1: in this movie, which was one of my problems, and Eddie,
Speaker 1: as if he needed to feel any worse, hangs his
Speaker 1: head in sadness. True slams her bedroom door shut and
Speaker 1: imagines a surreal world where she's the star of a
Speaker 1: Brady Bunch STV sitcom. It's in front of a live
Speaker 1: studio audience and it's all painted as her fantasy. And
Speaker 1: this is where I thought this was way ahead of
Speaker 1: its time. We saw this on I mean in the
Speaker 1: nineties they did it in Natural Born Killers and things
Speaker 1: like that, but I thought the direction of this movie
Speaker 1: taking it to occasionally being on a sitcom stage, going
Speaker 1: into her fantasies. The flashbacks of them running in the
Speaker 1: field really well directed for a d com. This might,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, be the best directed Paul Hohen joint,
Speaker 1: which is saying something because he does everything.
Speaker 4: But it was artsy and fun and different, and I
Speaker 4: loved it.
Speaker 3: The I loved the flashbacks because they were like slower motion,
Speaker 3: they were grainy. You could absolutely tell that this was
Speaker 3: like you instantly go into that flashback mode. And they
Speaker 3: were like very seamless to me, like they didn't seem abrupt,
Speaker 3: which I think sometimes flashbacks can, and especially love. I
Speaker 3: loved this, this this TV show idea that they.
Speaker 4: Did me too. I thought the way they were doing
Speaker 4: it was very very cool.
Speaker 1: Her mom is a June Cleaver type now and on
Speaker 1: this new show and tells her how proud she is
Speaker 1: and how True has the best taste in clothes.
Speaker 4: She gets one.
Speaker 1: Hundred dollar raised, an allowance and a boop on the nose,
Speaker 1: only to quickly return to reality. Alone in her room,
Speaker 1: True sits down and talks into the camera MTV confessional style.
Speaker 1: So there we go, breaking the fourth wall again. It's
Speaker 1: her secret video journal called True tales. She explains her
Speaker 1: life isn't a sitcom, it's a soap opera. She can't
Speaker 1: talk to her mom, who's always so busy with Eddie,
Speaker 1: and her dad is never home because he's a brain surgeon,
Speaker 1: which is a gross profession also kind of an important one.
Speaker 1: One day she'll be incredibly famous on TV and this
Speaker 1: journal will show what her life was really like. But
Speaker 1: more than anything, she just needs something that is completely
Speaker 1: and privately hers. There now, getting ready for a family dinner,
Speaker 1: Eddie is carefully setting the table. Their dad is busy
Speaker 1: at the hospital, so they'll start a little later than usual. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: True starts correcting Eddie's mistakes with the setting. They don't
Speaker 1: need soup spoons tonight, but this immediately messes with what
Speaker 1: Eddie knows and what he wants. It's truessnight to do
Speaker 1: the dishes, though, and she doesn't want to wash anything
Speaker 1: that they don't use, but her mom says it seems
Speaker 1: like she wants to argue about everything. She grabs her
Speaker 1: camera and instructs her future self to cast someone other
Speaker 1: than her mom when they make a show of her
Speaker 1: life harsh as True storms off, this one obviously hurts
Speaker 1: her mom's feelings. Now in her room, True is talking
Speaker 1: to her camera again, explaining that her mom is vain
Speaker 1: and asks the most embarrassing questions about her in public.
Speaker 1: She also packs intricate lunches for them, which True finds
Speaker 1: very corny, which again I find very nice. Eventually, we
Speaker 1: are back at the dinner table and now finally joined
Speaker 1: by dad. Eddie is retelling the paparazzi story from earlier,
Speaker 1: telling it is a funny moment instead of the one
Speaker 1: that infuriated his sister, but True lets her dad know.
Speaker 4: The truth it wasn't funny.
Speaker 1: Then, while being handed to broccoli, Eddie drops the bowl,
Speaker 1: breaking the glass dish and shards fly everywhere. The dad
Speaker 1: responds on impulse, jumping up and yelling not again, but
Speaker 1: their mom calms him down quickly, she'll get it cleaned up.
Speaker 1: But Bob is still annoyed that the broccoli is covered
Speaker 1: in glass.
Speaker 4: And this is when I was having I was like, okay,
Speaker 4: this is.
Speaker 1: I had a feeling where we were heading with this
Speaker 1: this point. I was getting the the dcom Dad red
Speaker 1: flags instantly.
Speaker 3: Also, first Ball was like, why are you guys not
Speaker 3: using plastic bulls? If this kid drops stuff everywhere. Why
Speaker 3: have we not changed our behavior to help him out
Speaker 3: a little bit clastic, simplest thing in the world.
Speaker 1: It's like, no, I want to have delicate crystal at
Speaker 1: every meal that we serve, like.
Speaker 3: Exactly exactly, because I'm telling you, as a parent, regardless,
Speaker 3: this is something.
Speaker 2: You go through.
Speaker 3: Maybe not at his age, at Eddie's age, that you're
Speaker 3: still going through that, but that's what I'm at right
Speaker 3: now with Like, let's just takes the bowl.
Speaker 2: He's not dropping it, he's chucking it across.
Speaker 3: So Leger will not get glass bulls, plastic bowl.
Speaker 2: Not hard classic bol dang yep.
Speaker 1: So Eddie apologizes any hugs his dad who comes back
Speaker 1: down to earth, and he said, you know, sorry about
Speaker 1: my mistake.
Speaker 4: With a smile on his face.
Speaker 1: He says, one day they'll get through a meal without
Speaker 1: dropping or breaking anything, and again plastic bowls. Brother buy
Speaker 1: a plastic bowl. Eddie, though, is shaken up, but they
Speaker 1: get back to eating.
Speaker 4: That night.
Speaker 1: In her room, True draws in her journal as she
Speaker 1: narrates about baby sharks attacking each other in the womb.
Speaker 1: Her drawings come to life again another like just cool
Speaker 1: directing thing. The sharks now attached to her in her
Speaker 1: brother's head, swim around, and her shark eventually eats her brother.
Speaker 1: She slams the bookshut and wonders, what if everything that
Speaker 1: is wrong.
Speaker 4: With Eddie is her fault.
Speaker 1: She was born first, so maybe things would have been
Speaker 1: different if he was born first. She logs onto a
Speaker 1: special Need Special Care internet message board and posts for
Speaker 1: some answers. She wants to make him more comfortable at
Speaker 1: their new high school and feel more accepted in the
Speaker 1: world and ask people for ideas. It's very sweet. This
Speaker 1: is so, this is where I was going back and
Speaker 1: forth with everything's changing.
Speaker 4: She's mad and then she feels bad.
Speaker 1: But then I started to realize that's probably what it's
Speaker 1: like if you are a a teenager and be dealing
Speaker 1: with somebody who deals with this in their life. I mean,
Speaker 1: it must be this kind of frustrating, and then you're
Speaker 1: guilty for being frustrated and.
Speaker 4: You want to make their life better. It must be
Speaker 4: very difficult.
Speaker 3: I feel like you you have You're still You're still human,
Speaker 3: so your instincts and your reactions are especially as a teenager.
Speaker 3: They have such a hard time kind of filtering these
Speaker 3: things anyway, And then put on the fact that her
Speaker 3: brother really needs a lot of special care, you know,
Speaker 3: and she's in the part where she's wanting to demand
Speaker 3: her time with her parents, and that is even just
Speaker 3: what normal brothers and sisters do.
Speaker 4: And it's just maybe that's the scene that was missing
Speaker 4: for me.
Speaker 3: Feel the guilt of it, you know, going, damn, why
Speaker 3: can't I control my emotions? I know this is going
Speaker 3: to happen, you know, I just that's for me think
Speaker 3: in this movie, just going, this.
Speaker 4: Girl somebody olver.
Speaker 3: I mean, although I did cringe every time she jumps
Speaker 3: in her mom's face.
Speaker 6: It's off.
Speaker 1: But maybe that's the scene I was missing. Maybe I'm
Speaker 1: missing exactly that I'm missing the mom going I know
Speaker 1: this is tough and it's hard on all of us,
Speaker 1: and we I understand how frustrated you must feel. And
Speaker 1: I think you're a great sister, like maybe like maybe
Speaker 1: I need a dad a little more, which I didn't see.
Speaker 1: It was just kind of yelling in it. But anyway,
Speaker 1: True falls quickly asleep again and enters a dream. It's
Speaker 1: the two kids from the beginning, still running through the field.
Speaker 1: They're picking flowers and wrestling. Obviously, it's an easier time
Speaker 1: for what we can guess is these same two siblings.
Speaker 1: The next morning, Two is at our locker talking to
Speaker 1: Denise about how she connected with Billy Meyer, the hottest
Speaker 1: junior at school. But we see a flashback and all
Speaker 1: he did was ask her if there was an assembly today.
Speaker 1: Denise rolls her eyes. Yeah, wow, he must be in
Speaker 1: love with you. Jack runs up, he's got big news,
Speaker 1: but the bell rings before he can dish out all
Speaker 1: the hot goss. But the kids are calling it, and
Speaker 1: instead of walking a home room, True checks in on
Speaker 1: her brother. He's working in the special education class, talking
Speaker 1: to classmates, who, again worth noting, are all actors with
Speaker 1: real disabilities. So you know that was a good thing.
Speaker 4: But I guess what transition?
Speaker 2: Transition?
Speaker 1: Yes, the twins exchange a quick smile, and as she
Speaker 1: turns to get the class, she bumps into.
Speaker 4: What Billy Meyer, the hot junior.
Speaker 1: She awkwardly apologizes, and True knows she's coming off very weird.
Speaker 1: She thinks if she had Billy as her boyfriend, life
Speaker 1: would be perfect, and we're thrown right back on that
Speaker 1: sitcom set. The audience is feverishly applauding as Billy, now
Speaker 1: dressed in a suit, holding flowers, does his best Desi
Speaker 1: Arnaz impression, Trusy I'm home. True is dressed just like
Speaker 1: Lucy o'ball, red Wig and all. They exchange some very
Speaker 1: I Love Lucy inspired dialogue, but as they profess their
Speaker 1: love for each other, we're thrown back to reality and school,
Speaker 1: where True is filming her billy playing basketball from Afar.
Speaker 4: She's interrupted by her.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I'll say yikes, I don't even want to
Speaker 1: find when she later finds all her secret tapes, I
Speaker 1: don't even want to find the secret secret stash.
Speaker 4: She has just a billy.
Speaker 1: She's interrupted by Eddie, Denise and Jack. Ready to eat lunch.
Speaker 1: Jack is grossed out by his Liverworth sandwich. Of course
Speaker 1: he should be, so when he sees True's chicken wings,
Speaker 1: he wants to trade the wings for his hot goss,
Speaker 1: saying it again. She eventually accepts, and he reveals he
Speaker 1: knows a way she could become a TV star. She
Speaker 1: races home to her mom. It's a miracle, the chance
Speaker 1: of a lifetime. She throws down a newspaper ad that reads,
Speaker 1: host your Own TV Show. W TUV is having a
Speaker 1: contest for kids. The winner becomes a host on the channel. True, no,
Speaker 1: she'll win, but her mom sets her expectations. They're going
Speaker 1: to get hundreds of entries. True wanted her mom to
Speaker 1: be supportive. So we're seeing a pattern here, and once
Speaker 1: again she storms off very angry, and she does she
Speaker 1: does this kind of happy angry.
Speaker 4: It's very there's almost no transition between the two. A
Speaker 4: lot of times.
Speaker 1: Now in her room, True is spitballing ideas into her camera.
Speaker 1: The show can be called True Life Adventures or True
Speaker 1: True or NYPD True Mad about True True Tales.
Speaker 4: True wants to.
Speaker 1: Be a millionaire. She keeps thinking on it. All right,
Speaker 1: So if you had a talk show.
Speaker 4: What would you call it?
Speaker 3: Ooh, cheated chatter kind of works.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 3: Actually, Keigly and I did one on YouTube for a
Speaker 3: while called Dinner with Friends. We loved it because it
Speaker 3: was like that dinner. It wasn't a morning talk show
Speaker 3: with coffee. It was like a dinner talk show where
Speaker 3: we were chatting about different things that were happening in
Speaker 3: the world or you know.
Speaker 2: It was really fun.
Speaker 3: I actually really loved it. But yeah, I think kind
Speaker 3: of more around like food. Okay, like a dinner table
Speaker 3: where you really getting at like just some fun you
Speaker 3: know chatter, but cheated chat is always always good.
Speaker 1: We also didn't know each other, so I won't hold
Speaker 1: it against you that you didn't invite me to be.
Speaker 4: On your show. We are now back at school.
Speaker 1: True is on her way out of English class when
Speaker 1: she decides to talk to her teacher, mister Taylor about
Speaker 1: the KTUV contest.
Speaker 4: She needs his help coming up with an idea.
Speaker 1: He says he always teaches you to write what you know,
Speaker 1: and he says that could be applied to TV too, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, for all you young writers out there,
Speaker 1: that is a great rule of thumb. She seems inspired
Speaker 1: by his advice. Now we are at True's mom's work.
Speaker 1: She's at her computer and reveals to a coworker that
Speaker 1: she was on the special needs special care site looking
Speaker 1: for music classes for Eddie and she came across Truth's post.
Speaker 1: She's hurt that True didn't come to her for help
Speaker 1: like she used to. She's definitely growing up. Is this
Speaker 1: a weird kind of take?
Speaker 4: I mean, isn't she? This is again where I was like?
Speaker 1: Her daughter is going out of her way to try
Speaker 1: to learn as much as she can to make her
Speaker 1: brother's life easier. Wouldn't she be proud of that as
Speaker 1: opposed to like getting it wasn't angry, but I just
Speaker 1: feel like she was focused on the wrong thing.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was like angry. I feel
Speaker 3: like she was just disappointed because I think what what
Speaker 3: parents tend to do is they take on that kind
Speaker 3: of stuff themselves, like where did I go wrong in
Speaker 3: this relationship to where she's not coming to me? You know,
Speaker 3: I'm trying to set the pattern of how I say
Speaker 3: things to Monroe when she comes home and tells me
Speaker 3: things about school. There's a way to do it to
Speaker 3: where you always make sure that they know that when
Speaker 3: you come to you, you're a safe place versus because
Speaker 3: you don't want them to be going out to other people.
Speaker 3: You want them to come in, you want them to
Speaker 3: be you.
Speaker 2: Want to be their safe place.
Speaker 3: I think that's what her takes was she she was
Speaker 3: kind of going what how did.
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 2: How did I lose this? How did I? Where did
Speaker 2: I go wrong? You know? And and it's just understanding
Speaker 2: that kids are just like this.
Speaker 3: I've got I go I'm in this age with the
Speaker 3: girls that I that I teach and I love that
Speaker 3: I get to sort of be a person that can
Speaker 3: help anything. When when they have this a little bit
Speaker 3: of a disconnect from the people they have gone to
Speaker 3: their whole life, their mom and their dad. You know,
Speaker 3: people kids just at this age are reaching out looking
Speaker 3: for other people.
Speaker 2: I don't know why it happens. That's fair, it's natural, okay.
Speaker 1: Ginny also knows that all that True does is yell
Speaker 1: at her, which is true, so she's insecure about their connection.
Speaker 1: She returns to Tru's post and it looks like she
Speaker 1: just sent a reply. At home that night, True was
Speaker 1: doing her homework and tells her mom that having a
Speaker 1: boy twin stinks. She doesn't get to do cool stuff
Speaker 1: like they did in the parent Trap. Just then, Eddie enters,
Speaker 1: dresses a doctor. He says he's just like his dad.
Speaker 1: He performs an operation on a watermelon or what he
Speaker 1: calls a broken brain, True in Ginny's smile. They play
Speaker 1: a lot until their dad enters and he is mad.
Speaker 1: He wants to know what the hell is going on. Okay,
Speaker 1: we can't avoid it any longer, can we can? We
Speaker 1: already induct Bob Walker into the bad Dad.
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not even doing anything wrong at this
Speaker 1: point at all.
Speaker 3: No, No, But I feel like it's it's hard because I, yes,
Speaker 3: I could not this.
Speaker 2: This guy was starting to bother me.
Speaker 3: But I feel like there's a lot of things that
Speaker 3: could have been set in place, did not put Eddie
Speaker 3: in a position to keep pissing him off too, Like
Speaker 3: why is your why are these tools if they're so
Speaker 3: important to you in a place that he can get to?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well he's keeping him with all the glass bowls,
Speaker 1: that's what I mean. Why are you in my glass bowl?
Speaker 4: Ancient tech? Yet he doesn't sound like an any problem Bob.
Speaker 4: It sound like a Bob problem. It's like a Bob problem.
Speaker 4: It does.
Speaker 1: But Bob is uh, yeah, he's I get he's busy
Speaker 1: and he's doing all that stuff. And I think they're
Speaker 1: trying to make this movie it's supposed to be about
Speaker 1: how nobody is really taking the time to look at
Speaker 1: anything through anybody else's point of view.
Speaker 2: It's just how you're going through it.
Speaker 1: It's just they're all kind of in selfish mode, at
Speaker 1: least in the beginning.
Speaker 3: But I will say, except for it, speaking of mister
Speaker 3: Stu again, Yeah, remember how he said that he refused
Speaker 3: to do characters where the dad and the daughter have
Speaker 3: like he doesn't like to have characters where the dad
Speaker 3: is looking like a jerk.
Speaker 2: This is this is the jerkiest dad we've seen.
Speaker 1: Steve do exactly and be like, Ah, Stu, we got
Speaker 1: a jerky dad for you.
Speaker 2: I think we forgot about one of your characters.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you because this is you got it.
Speaker 1: You got a jerky dad here, yeah, Stu, Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: I can't okay.
Speaker 3: And a mom that can't seem to get it together
Speaker 3: very well either. I mean, but they're all struggling.
Speaker 1: They were missing each other. Yeah, and I think the
Speaker 1: struggle was the point of it.
Speaker 4: I get that. And she's supposed to be filming the struggle.
Speaker 4: I get it.
Speaker 1: It's just it was very abrupt at times. But I
Speaker 1: understand what they're going for. Bob tells his son that
Speaker 1: the tools are antiques gifted down from his dad. Eddie
Speaker 1: starts crying and yelling he's not a doctor. Doctors are mean.
Speaker 1: Ginny jumps in. She says Eddie was being careful. Then
Speaker 1: the young boy slams the watermelon to the floor, breaking
Speaker 1: it to pieces. Bob gives his look to his wife
Speaker 1: and yeah, he sucks as a dad. Later in their bedroom,
Speaker 1: Bob is explaining himself to Ginny. It's like everything he
Speaker 1: does with.
Speaker 4: This kid is wrong. She says, it's his tone.
Speaker 1: Bob wonders if they don't put if they don't push him,
Speaker 1: will he ever grow? And this gets slightly heated, and
Speaker 1: things just aren't easy right now for the Walkers, and
Speaker 1: again a very rare, frustrated conversation between two adults.
Speaker 2: And yes, I thought of that.
Speaker 3: I said, this is really kind of one of the
Speaker 3: first times where we're seeing and it's I assume.
Speaker 2: This would be very real of how hard it.
Speaker 3: Is to be in a marriage when you're both having to,
Speaker 3: you know, handle this delicate of a situation, and how
Speaker 3: you're looking at each other somewhat judging each other. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I handle it this way, and this way is better
Speaker 3: than the way you handle it, you know, and how
Speaker 3: much that could affect.
Speaker 1: They're really frustrated and you're yelling, and I think they
Speaker 1: were trying to cap Yes. Yeah, we are now back
Speaker 1: in True's bedroom. She's dreaming once again about her and
Speaker 1: Eddie as kids in the field, but now she can't
Speaker 1: find him.
Speaker 4: She's yelling his name, running all around. Sabrina is still crying, and.
Speaker 1: Somebody find Eddie and over in Eddie's room, He's sleeping
Speaker 1: on the floor, violently tossing and turning, crying and saying
Speaker 1: True's name. We don't know if he's having the same
Speaker 1: dream or he's kind of still reacting to being yelled
Speaker 1: at by his dad. I don't know if twins have
Speaker 1: the same dreams. I bet you they do. Eddie's dad
Speaker 1: eventually puts him in the bed and rubs his head
Speaker 1: until he is back asleep. The next day, Eddie's playing
Speaker 1: catch with his dad. We get a montageing all of
Speaker 1: Eddie's throws sail well over Bob's head or into the ground.
Speaker 1: Bob is all smiles at first, praising his son's attempt,
Speaker 1: so I think he's probably felt guilty about how he
Speaker 1: treated him the day before. But eventually he just gets
Speaker 1: exhausted running everywhere to get the ball, so he decides
Speaker 1: to take Eddie to get a hot fudge Sunday.
Speaker 4: Eddie loves that idea, so do I.
Speaker 1: I'd be eating one right now if I could. It's
Speaker 1: now later and True is still working in her bedroom
Speaker 1: when she turns her attention to the special needs sight. Again,
Speaker 1: her post has gotten some replies. She reads them and
Speaker 1: imagines the contributor. She can cox an old lady yelling
Speaker 1: and again, now this is another great moment of direction
Speaker 1: where it's kind of we're cutting to all these things.
Speaker 1: We could easily just read it off the screen, or
Speaker 1: it could be read in a voiceover, but no, we're
Speaker 1: cutting to these things, which is another cool Paul Holand trick.
Speaker 1: Here she can cox an old lady telling her the
Speaker 1: question isn't what's wrong with her brother, what's wrong with her?
Speaker 4: Harsh?
Speaker 1: She also suggests true just needs a strong sense of faith.
Speaker 1: The next reply is from a motorcycle dude. He has
Speaker 1: a son who sounds a lot like Eddie and their
Speaker 1: school board was a big help.
Speaker 4: Maybe she can try that. What this is?
Speaker 3: When it went uh oh okay, now we're entering the
Speaker 3: scariness of chat rooms and who the heck you could
Speaker 3: be talking to?
Speaker 2: Like, of course, my twenty twenty five brain goes.
Speaker 3: So badly into the dark side once I see this
Speaker 3: motorcycle guy, like, oh god.
Speaker 2: Now he's gonna be gonna and oh gosh, what's going on?
Speaker 2: You know, I couldn't even help it, but this is.
Speaker 3: It's all nice, super scared about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get scared soon, but we weren't scared yet
Speaker 1: the motorcycle did. He has a son who sounds a
Speaker 1: lot like eddying the school board was a big help.
Speaker 1: Maybe she can try that. And finally, she imagines an
Speaker 1: all American housewife with the screen named Dedi. The woman
Speaker 1: is praising True as a sister. She suggests that support
Speaker 1: and love can do the trick, and she says she's
Speaker 1: always around if True needs her.
Speaker 4: The next day, back on the Very True.
Speaker 1: Ask Denise and Jack if they think Billy meyerd would
Speaker 1: be in her film. Billy My don't, but her friends
Speaker 1: don't really care. They say, I'm sorry, No, I'm just
Speaker 1: I just got a rashly pissed over Yolanda from the
Speaker 1: The Dutch Dragons anyway, the Dutch Dragon don't get me started.
Speaker 1: But her friends don't really care. They say he is
Speaker 1: an ego maniac. True thinks this contest can be the
Speaker 1: beginning the rest of her life, but her friends think
Speaker 1: she's probably overselling it. We are now back on Land,
Speaker 1: being followed by Eddie. She mentions mister Taylor's suggestion, but
Speaker 1: everything she quote unquote knows is incredibly boring. Should she
Speaker 1: do a movie parody and animation and hip hop music?
Speaker 1: And then she gets the most brilliant idea ever and
Speaker 1: races back on the boat to do some research. When
Speaker 1: True eventually returns home, she's carrying a bunch of heavy books.
Speaker 1: Her dad is home early from work, which is a
Speaker 1: rare occurrence, and True is happy to see him. She
Speaker 1: needs his help on the WTUV contest. She decided on
Speaker 1: a new magazine show to teach people about kids like Eddie,
Speaker 1: how they get that way, what doctors are doing to
Speaker 1: try to help them. She wonders if one of his
Speaker 1: really smart and TV friendly doctor coworkers could sit for
Speaker 1: an interview. He slightly suggests himself, but she wants professional,
Speaker 1: not pathetic.
Speaker 6: Ouch.
Speaker 4: The family is just so mean to each other. That's
Speaker 4: what I mean.
Speaker 3: I wrote that one down, meaning she just has them
Speaker 3: coming out one after another.
Speaker 2: It would be hard to live with her, honestly.
Speaker 3: Anyway, Yes it is, yeah, But just then Eddie comes
Speaker 3: rollerblading in, but he's falling all over the place.
Speaker 1: He's proud and wants his dad to come watch him
Speaker 1: skate outside. But that's when Bob gets paid by work.
Speaker 1: He runs the phone just as the doorbell rings. True
Speaker 1: answers it and it's Yolanda. No, it's Billy Meyer. He
Speaker 1: is delivering groceries. He helps her bring in the bags,
Speaker 1: and her brother continues to scream and glide around. He
Speaker 1: eventually bumps into his sister, forcing Oranges to fall to
Speaker 1: the floor. True won't pick them up. It wasn't her fault.
Speaker 1: Eddie accidentally tackles his dad, who's trying to talk on
Speaker 1: the phone, and then skates right over his sister's finger.
Speaker 1: Now Billy is, of course, seeing all of this chaos,
Speaker 1: waiting for his tip.
Speaker 4: He finally exits just as Ginny arrives home.
Speaker 1: Which is good news for Bob because he's got to
Speaker 1: go to the hospital for an emergency. Big shocker, He's
Speaker 1: leaving again, and leaving True without the project help she needed,
Speaker 1: and leaving his wife Ginny with all the mess and
Speaker 1: everything else going on. True is furious and slams her
Speaker 1: brother's uneaten carrots down the garbage to both. She just
Speaker 1: wants it to be normal in her house. For once
Speaker 1: Billy Meyer was in their house. It was Billy Meyer mom,
Speaker 1: and she was so embarrassed. Later that night, We're at
Speaker 1: the Walker's dinner table. Dad, Mom, and Eddie take their
Speaker 1: seats on the glass table with glass bowls and glass plates,
Speaker 1: and True eventually arrives with new carrots, this time paper
Speaker 1: ones she made from construction paper. This gets a smile
Speaker 1: from the family and peace is sort of re established,
Speaker 1: at least for now. That night, True writes back Detie
Speaker 1: on her message board. She goes into detail about how
Speaker 1: her mom is always too busy to hear about her
Speaker 1: TV project and how Eddie is just so content in
Speaker 1: his life. She spends so much time worrying about and
Speaker 1: looking out for him, but maybe he's one of the
Speaker 1: luckiest people in the family. He's happier than anyone she knows.
Speaker 1: The next day, True is back to work on our project,
Speaker 1: so we get a montage my favorite. She interviews one
Speaker 1: of her dad's doctor friends. She edits, she films her brother,
Speaker 1: and gets some shots. In her science classroom, she's working
Speaker 1: very hard, in fact, so hard that she falls asleep
Speaker 1: in class and right out of the chair, which is
Speaker 1: starting to become a new Disney trope.
Speaker 4: We've now seen that a few times, because.
Speaker 1: Didn't he fell asleep in the middle class and jump
Speaker 1: in ye remember that, So everybody's fall asleep in class?
Speaker 4: Another enjoyed.
Speaker 2: I think way back in.
Speaker 3: Brink when he was going two times with the with
Speaker 3: the skate rope, he was fall sleeping class. I think
Speaker 3: as well, fall asleep in class.
Speaker 1: But of course she's doing this right in front of
Speaker 1: Billy Meyer. Oh that cute Billy Meyer. She just cannot
Speaker 1: catch a break with this guy.
Speaker 4: But the hard work was worth it.
Speaker 1: The project is now done and it's time to screen
Speaker 1: it for Denise, Jack and Eddie. They promised to be
Speaker 1: honest once it begins. Eddie loves seeing himself on the screen,
Speaker 1: and they all seem interested at first, but it becomes
Speaker 1: way too scientifically focused on the brain and they start
Speaker 1: to doze off. Finally, it ends and her friends let
Speaker 1: out a big sigh. They admit it's just boring.
Speaker 4: True agrees, she.
Speaker 1: Knows that she's got to make some changes, and Jack
Speaker 1: suggests getting a second opinion. Sweetly, Eddie still congratulates.
Speaker 4: His sister on a job well done.
Speaker 1: Her second opinion is her mom, who watches it and
Speaker 1: also thinks it's a little bit boring. She thinks that
Speaker 1: True played it too safe. She wants to see what
Speaker 1: True's emotional POV is not just medical explanations. And then
Speaker 1: guess what happens. True gets irrationally mad and shouts in
Speaker 1: storms off, oh, I can't even.
Speaker 4: Believe it again, And that's when I was like, and
Speaker 4: it was the instant, it was.
Speaker 3: Like, sure is real life. This is for sure real
Speaker 3: life with girls and their moms at this age. I
Speaker 3: swear it is. It happens so quick. You just don't
Speaker 3: even know what's happening. Even when I was a girl
Speaker 3: doing this, I don't know what was happening and why
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, just got so pissed so quick because.
Speaker 4: I was like, what did what?
Speaker 6: Wow?
Speaker 4: That came out of nowhere?
Speaker 2: Out of nowhere? You cannot see it coming? Will okay,
Speaker 2: just smash in the face.
Speaker 4: I will take your word for it. We are now
Speaker 4: in Eddie's room.
Speaker 1: True is reading her brother a bedtime story and asks
Speaker 1: his real opinion on the project.
Speaker 4: He said it.
Speaker 1: Needed more car crashes. She laughs, but second guesses are talent.
Speaker 1: Eddie assures her that she's funny, but then gets serious.
Speaker 1: He wants to know if True is mad at him.
Speaker 1: She says, of course. She explains that she's been busy
Speaker 1: with her tape, but Eddie admits it makes him sad
Speaker 1: she used to be his twin and now she's not.
Speaker 1: It's a very touching scene that leads True back to
Speaker 1: the message board. It is hard not to love Eddie.
Speaker 4: And I almost teared up here. Okay, it was close.
Speaker 4: I was like, okay, little language for me is bawling.
Speaker 1: If I'm like I have a slight emotional feeling, then
Speaker 1: it's like I'm crying my eyes.
Speaker 2: I love it, Yes, I know.
Speaker 3: And he's so honest too about it, you know, and
Speaker 3: it's like he's learned to be able to express his
Speaker 3: feelings and you're just going, wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, especially with twins, twins, I do believe
Speaker 2: I've always wanted.
Speaker 4: To be you want to have them.
Speaker 3: I like you just it's like this connection between the
Speaker 3: two of them, and to imagine what it would be
Speaker 3: like for one of them to struggle so much. Just like,
Speaker 3: oh man, this was such a great scene and s
Speaker 3: I did such a great job.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was great.
Speaker 1: True replies to Dedie again, she feels like a loser
Speaker 1: who can't figure out this project and her mom isn't
Speaker 1: helping it all. She ends by asking dede if the
Speaker 1: project gets too personal, won't people.
Speaker 4: Just laugh at her? At the next day's soccer game,
Speaker 4: and I, okay this.
Speaker 2: I didn't understand.
Speaker 1: Why is she on the team with the with the
Speaker 1: because this is obviously a team for people with intellectual disabilities,
Speaker 1: But why is she the only person on the team
Speaker 1: who doesn't have intellectual disabilities?
Speaker 4: I didn't understand that.
Speaker 2: I didn't get it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't either. But True arrives with her family.
Speaker 1: I figured they'd all just be there to support him.
Speaker 1: Eddie is also in a jersey. True tells her dad
Speaker 1: that she's still creatively stuck, but he's convinced she'll do
Speaker 1: fine in the end. On the field, the coach, who's awesome,
Speaker 1: seems great, almost like he'd be a better dad for
Speaker 1: the twins, which he would. He reminds Eddie not to
Speaker 1: use his hands and tells him to go and have
Speaker 1: some fun.
Speaker 4: Now we're mid game.
Speaker 1: Ginny gets a breakaway and passes to an open Eddie
Speaker 1: without even looking up. It's almost like they have some
Speaker 1: sort of twin telepathy, which is what she's talking about
Speaker 1: in the voiceover.
Speaker 4: Then Eddie shoots and scores.
Speaker 1: Everybody celebrates, especially Eddie, who hugs his sister and waves
Speaker 1: to his parents, who were filming the whole thing back
Speaker 1: in home. Dede, still being imagined as an old fashioned housewife,
Speaker 1: has replied. She admits that True's life is intense, but
Speaker 1: no one makes great art without taking a risk. Dede
Speaker 1: suggests she should show her true self to be rewarded.
Speaker 1: True is now in a walk with Denise and Eddie,
Speaker 1: chatting about her new online friendship with Dede. Denise wonders
Speaker 1: if it's actually a five hundred pounds man with Nasty
Speaker 1: bo and Harry Back, which is exactly what you were
Speaker 1: talking about, which is what people were starting to wonder
Speaker 1: about in the early chat rooms.
Speaker 4: Never been in a chat room in my entire.
Speaker 2: Life, not even those AOL ones.
Speaker 4: And I'm still AOL by the way, I'm Rider Diol.
Speaker 1: My email is still AOL, still existing AOL.
Speaker 4: Well, there's like three of us left. It's me, my mom,
Speaker 4: and I think some like one of my old friends.
Speaker 4: That's it. But I am AOL Rider died.
Speaker 1: But I've never in my because I'm not a computer guy,
Speaker 1: I've never in my life been in a chat room.
Speaker 3: Yeah mean I I Yeah, They're mean.
Speaker 4: No, thank you.
Speaker 1: Ginny says it's a medical sight, and Dedie is very supportive,
Speaker 1: so she trusts her. After filming her brother and some ducks,
Speaker 1: True announces she's decided to include herself in the movie.
Speaker 1: Denise asks if she's sure she wants to do that.
Speaker 1: True isn't, but she knows that it's the right thing
Speaker 1: to do. Back at home, True unlocks a small safe
Speaker 1: in a room. It's filled with a dozen or so
Speaker 1: camp quarter tapes, all of Sabrina behind the scenes doing
Speaker 1: Cheetah Girls, non kidding camp quarter tapes labeled as top secret.
Speaker 1: We see another montage of home videos, both good and bad,
Speaker 1: including a family dinner where Bob freaks out on Eddie again.
Speaker 1: This guy can't get through a meal without yelling at
Speaker 1: his kid. It ends with footage of Eddie being bullied
Speaker 1: at school by jocks. They even call him the R word,
Speaker 1: which is just awful.
Speaker 2: That just, I mean jumped out at me.
Speaker 3: It's so bad and it made me think that poor
Speaker 3: actor now knowing that that is forever on film.
Speaker 4: I know it's but it just it just hits the
Speaker 4: ear so wrong.
Speaker 2: It's wrong, man, And like you know, he wanted a line.
Speaker 3: He was so soaked to book it, and now it's
Speaker 3: like he's probably like, oh man, oh.
Speaker 4: My god, I can't believe. Yeah, I know, I can't
Speaker 4: believe you've seen the movie. No, it's awful.
Speaker 1: True is devastated reliving some of these memories.
Speaker 4: Obviously.
Speaker 1: The next day, True and a vacation ready Eddie are
Speaker 1: off to the beach with her mom.
Speaker 4: It was supposed to be a trip for all four walkers.
Speaker 1: But you my guess that right, dick. Bob has an
Speaker 1: emergency and can't join. Now, I understand, he's literally a
Speaker 1: brain surgeon. He's saving people's lives. I totally get it.
Speaker 1: You are on call twenty four to seven when you
Speaker 1: are a doctor of that caliber, I understand. But then
Speaker 1: you figure maybe you're the coolest dad in the world
Speaker 1: for the twenty minutes you're with your kid, as opposed
Speaker 1: to yelling at everybody who knows. So yeah, Bob once
Speaker 1: again can't join. At the beach, Eddie becomes frustrated with
Speaker 1: his kite. He can't get it to fly no matter
Speaker 1: how hard he tries. True, who is filming her brother,
Speaker 1: suggests there might not be enough wind, but Eddie is
Speaker 1: taking it really hard. He calls the kite stupid, and
Speaker 1: he repeats the R word about the kite's crying very
Speaker 1: hard as True keeps the camera rolling. She eventually turns
Speaker 1: it off, obviously affected by this episode.
Speaker 4: It was a very powerful scene watching Shia do that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Later that night, it is hoaring rain on the On
Speaker 1: the drive home, horing rain, True is watching the emotional
Speaker 1: footage back with her brother fast asleep in the back seat,
Speaker 1: to think she can't show this tape to anybody. What
Speaker 1: if they laugh at Eddie. Her mom wonders why they'd
Speaker 1: even laugh. The footage shows how much he means to
Speaker 1: True and it's very moving. Also, again unrelated to the film,
Speaker 1: the rain outside is insane. Go back and watch this scene.
Speaker 1: It's amazing.
Speaker 3: I guess it's just Paul just making the decision to
Speaker 3: film in Toronto so often, but like, I feel.
Speaker 2: Like this has happened to him so many times during shoots.
Speaker 2: Like it's pouring. It is literally pouring.
Speaker 4: It's incredible.
Speaker 1: Yes, they're in the eye of a tornado or a hurricane,
Speaker 1: the type of weather that can kill a wicked witch.
Speaker 4: Incredible.
Speaker 1: True quotes her message board Paltie saying something along the
Speaker 1: lines of not being afraid to expose your true feelings.
Speaker 1: And that's when her mom has a question, can she
Speaker 1: tell her something about.
Speaker 2: This d D.
Speaker 1: True gets defensive, It's not some five hundred brond guy,
Speaker 1: if that's what you're gonna say. Her mom decides not
Speaker 1: to tell her whatever she's thinking.
Speaker 4: It's too sensitive a subject.
Speaker 1: But we all knew at this point, and we'll we'll
Speaker 1: get into that. That night, while it's still El Nino outside,
Speaker 1: True reads a new d D post. Her penpal encourages
Speaker 1: her to send in her tape. The following day, True
Speaker 1: and Denise cast a luxpell on the now completed video project.
Speaker 1: Jake has joined them on a mission to mail it.
Speaker 1: True is entering the contest without any time left to
Speaker 1: show her friends. She's just gonna let it fly and
Speaker 1: hope for the best. True returns home and tells her
Speaker 1: mom the tape is on the way to the studio.
Speaker 1: Her mom is very proud of her. She responds with
Speaker 1: if you show your true self, you will be rewarded,
Speaker 1: an exact quote from DEDI what man. True imagines the
Speaker 1: housewife she's been imagining as d D now morphing into
Speaker 1: her real mom.
Speaker 4: She's figured it out. Her mom is d d duh.
Speaker 4: I mean, come on, we all knew it.
Speaker 1: Do you think anybody watching the movie didn't know this
Speaker 1: at this point?
Speaker 4: I mean it was so obvious.
Speaker 2: Okay, no, no, no, But I can see how she wouldn't.
Speaker 1: Know, right, But I mean maybe, But yeah, True is
Speaker 1: the last one to find out, but they didn't try
Speaker 1: to hide it from the rest of us.
Speaker 4: We all knew.
Speaker 1: No, Ginny tries to explain, but True feels tricked and
Speaker 1: feels stupid for everything going on. She says she hates
Speaker 1: her mom, and then here it is yet again, she
Speaker 1: storms out.
Speaker 4: It's like a catch phrase at this point.
Speaker 1: Now, at a local carnival, we see that True is
Speaker 1: on a carousel fevershly looking for Eddie. She's become worried
Speaker 1: where is he. She eventually finds him by nearby lake,
Speaker 1: wearing a new hat. He says some boys in the
Speaker 1: bridge gave it to him. Concerned he's stolen something from strangers,
Speaker 1: she walks over to these boys to find out what happened,
Speaker 1: and then she realizes.
Speaker 4: One of them is Billy Billy Meyer.
Speaker 1: She tries to give him the hat back, but it
Speaker 1: dramatically falls to the floor when he rejects it. He
Speaker 1: then oh, he turns total heel. He asks, true, isn't
Speaker 1: it be kind? I can't even.
Speaker 4: Isn't it be kind? To an R word week? And
Speaker 4: just like that, Billy's a.
Speaker 2: You know, I had hopes for Billy. I did too
Speaker 2: when he showed up at the house.
Speaker 3: I thought his character was gonna see true and see
Speaker 3: how much she goes through and it was gonna be
Speaker 3: this like really great character moment for him, and that's
Speaker 3: what his storyline was going to develop into. I wanted
Speaker 3: her to push this dick off of this bridge so
Speaker 3: much faster than she did, like, I can't even.
Speaker 1: The only part of this that upset me was the
Speaker 1: fact that it wasn't concrete underneath it, that it was water.
Speaker 3: That I did love that it wasn't it was it
Speaker 3: was more shallow than what you thought it was gonna be.
Speaker 2: Because he stood up and I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: you hit your back. You hit your back, I know
Speaker 2: you did.
Speaker 1: You wanted to climb through the screen and punch this
Speaker 1: guy in the jaw so bad it was, I mean,
Speaker 1: really punch this guy in the jaw so true? Is
Speaker 1: of course shocked that jerk keeps laying it on, saying
Speaker 1: the guy's all bit in the hat too, toue ask
Speaker 1: what the hell is wrong with him? He calls her
Speaker 1: a freak while his friends are laughing. Did you I
Speaker 1: feel like you?
Speaker 4: I was hoping. I had high hopes for Billy Meyer.
Speaker 4: I thought he was going to be a good guy,
Speaker 4: even with the hat.
Speaker 2: I thought he was going to be like No, we
Speaker 2: gave that to him.
Speaker 4: We wanted him to have it. He needed to have it, have.
Speaker 2: It, he needed that. He wanted it too.
Speaker 4: Yes, it was. It was awful.
Speaker 2: I got so heated so fast, me too. I switched on.
Speaker 2: That's when you know you can't trust me. It takes
Speaker 2: one thing. Billy all right, you're out. You're out. You're
Speaker 2: all the rest you are out, out out.
Speaker 1: It's one of those things where I said to myself
Speaker 1: in my head, I was like, Okay, if I was
Speaker 1: an adult, my own age forty eight right now and
Speaker 1: walking on the bridge and heard some kid who's probably
Speaker 1: fifteen or sixteen saying this to people like this played
Speaker 1: out in front of me, I don't know what I
Speaker 1: would do. Oh, I don't know if I would have
Speaker 1: smacked this kid in the mouth.
Speaker 3: I have I because we work in the gym at
Speaker 3: the school, and there are many times it's it's sometimes girls,
Speaker 3: but a lot of times it's got saying things, and
Speaker 3: they use such terrible it's not even the curse words
Speaker 3: that bother me. It's it's the names like this, And
Speaker 3: I fully go like Grandma mode on the excuse me, sir,
Speaker 3: excuse me.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: I had to have heard you wrong. There's just no
Speaker 3: way you speak to someone like this. You are not
Speaker 3: a little kid. You are almost an adult, gonna be
Speaker 3: in the big world, and someone's gonna smack you in
Speaker 3: the face. If you do that again, that's not cool.
Speaker 3: Don't do that again in that room right there. I
Speaker 3: don't want to hear this again.
Speaker 4: Oh man, I want to see you happened because they're
Speaker 4: so mean.
Speaker 2: They can be, and I know they're probably great kids,
Speaker 2: but it's like you.
Speaker 3: Just it's not funny. It's it's it's nothing but wrong.
Speaker 3: That's just the end of the story.
Speaker 4: There is a very simple concept to live by. People.
Speaker 4: Don't be a dick. Yeah, just that simple.
Speaker 2: It's just just so.
Speaker 1: True reacts exactly as she should by pushing him off
Speaker 1: the bridge into the river.
Speaker 4: Good for you, True.
Speaker 1: The twins run away, leaving the bully drenched, and they
Speaker 1: sprint right past their parents, who drive them home in
Speaker 1: the car. True still feels the tension with her mom
Speaker 1: and is very disturbed by what happened on the bridge.
Speaker 1: She closes her eyes and imagines her and her brother
Speaker 1: in the field again, but she still can't find Eddie.
Speaker 1: Also worth noting. Back in the car, Eddie is playing
Speaker 1: with a very nostalgic bop It.
Speaker 4: Do you remember it?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Okay, good, all right good?
Speaker 2: Oh, she was so stoked to see that Bopitt.
Speaker 4: Was the best.
Speaker 1: Back at home, Treo was already removing Billy from her
Speaker 1: footage when her mom enters. True still doesn't want to
Speaker 1: talk to her, but Ginny apologizes for pretending to be
Speaker 1: d D. She just wanted to connect with her. True
Speaker 1: accepts the apology. It was a half exception of apology,
Speaker 1: but it's really still mad about what that creep Billy
Speaker 1: did with the hat. She slams the door on her
Speaker 1: confused mom's face, which again.
Speaker 4: Later.
Speaker 1: True decides to call WTUV and ask when the winner
Speaker 1: of the Host your Own TV Show contest will be announced,
Speaker 1: But she's been calling so much they recognize her voice.
Speaker 1: Then we are added a possibly big library.
Speaker 2: Library is the size of the mall it is.
Speaker 4: It's like the library Alexandria back in the day.
Speaker 2: Yes I have Okay, Then it made me go, well
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 3: I haven't been in like a ton of libraries throughout
Speaker 3: my life, which is probably not a good look for.
Speaker 2: Me, but it's true.
Speaker 3: And I have never been in a library anywhere near this.
Speaker 3: The biggest is maybe a two story.
Speaker 2: Yeah you're talking to one, not one with an elevator.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean maybe I have an elevator for like
Speaker 3: Mandy Kott like reasons, but not not a one.
Speaker 4: This is huge.
Speaker 1: This is what they call a bal or a big
Speaker 1: ass library. Yeah, so it's probably the biggest library in
Speaker 1: the history of the world, which I'm assuming was actually
Speaker 1: the library at this Danforth College, which that's true, is
Speaker 1: a massive library. True is studying with Jake and Eddie
Speaker 1: is reading kids books next to them. Once Eddie needs
Speaker 1: a new book to read, he goes to make a trade,
Speaker 1: but accidentally walks into an open elevator. He, you know,
Speaker 1: is now going down many many floors. Against library is
Speaker 1: a sizeable hotel in Vegas. You can feel the fear
Speaker 1: as he exits onto a new floor. He has no
Speaker 1: idea where he is. He's roaming the aisles, hearing voices
Speaker 1: and completely lost. He's panicked now and running screaming for
Speaker 1: his sister. True and Jake here his cry and run
Speaker 1: towards him. Eddie eventually is cornered and a librarian walks
Speaker 1: in and asks him to keep it down. Eddie just
Speaker 1: wants to find his sister, and when the librarian starts
Speaker 1: to get a little aggressive, it seems like a scared
Speaker 1: Eddie backs into a wall, slamming into some of the
Speaker 1: bookshelves and the books fall on the ground. He then
Speaker 1: falls to the ground, balls up, and starts to cry.
Speaker 1: Finally True arrives and immediately embraces him, and then the
Speaker 1: librarian gets snotty, excuse me, this is a library. Perhaps
Speaker 1: you'd be better if you took him outside. And I
Speaker 1: wanted Jake to walk over.
Speaker 4: And just punch this guy in the face.
Speaker 1: Yeah, really, handle this, handle your business, because it's like,
Speaker 1: are you kidding me?
Speaker 4: But yeah, so awful.
Speaker 1: But Jake asked for a minute and tells the guy
Speaker 1: to chill out, eventually leaving to call their mom for
Speaker 1: a ride home. A defeated, Eddie tells his sister it's
Speaker 1: not fair. He doesn't want to be different anymore. He
Speaker 1: wants to be the same as everyone else. True tells
Speaker 1: him everyone is different, but Eddie says, yeah, but.
Speaker 4: He's really different.
Speaker 1: True agrees he is different, but if he was the
Speaker 1: same as everyone else, he wouldn't get that special help
Speaker 1: at school, or be allowed to rollerblade in the house,
Speaker 1: and he wouldn't be such an amazing brother. She starts
Speaker 1: to cry, but Eddie doesn't want her to be sad.
Speaker 1: He gives her a big hug and they say I
Speaker 1: love you to each other. It's a very tough dcom scene.
Speaker 1: It's arguably the most emotional dcom scene we've seen to date,
Speaker 1: and it still didn't make me cry. I'm dead inside,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure you are bawling.
Speaker 3: I oh man, oh gosh.
Speaker 2: This is the thing true beautiful.
Speaker 3: She is such a such a really like relatable teenager
Speaker 3: and the sense of all her emotions and this is
Speaker 3: showing that she is a really good sister and she
Speaker 3: does really care about him. She just struggles because it's hard.
Speaker 3: She's not struggling because she's she's a rude kid. She's
Speaker 3: struggling because it's tough, such adult stuff to deal with.
Speaker 3: It's not a teenager thing to deal with. And it
Speaker 3: was a really instated.
Speaker 4: Really beautiful scene between two good actors. It really was.
Speaker 2: So good, so good.
Speaker 4: No, still, just eat my popcorn.
Speaker 1: True is now with her dad, wondering if it's awful
Speaker 1: that she's mad she didn't have her camera when Eddie
Speaker 1: was crying at the library. He tells her not to
Speaker 1: be so hard on herself. She's only a mere mortal.
Speaker 1: He tells her to get some sleep. The next day,
Speaker 1: the twins return home from school and True got a
Speaker 1: letter in the mail. It's from the TV station Eddie
Speaker 1: and j You are excited as she rips it open
Speaker 1: to find out she's won. Everyone celebrates, finally some happiness
Speaker 1: in the family, but after initial excitement, True quickly turns again.
Speaker 1: She warns her mom if people laugh at her for
Speaker 1: all the personal stuff she just showed, it'll be her fault.
Speaker 4: And then she storms off again. And I'm like, what
Speaker 4: this one is going on?
Speaker 3: Yes, this one is like okay, well, it's like wait
Speaker 3: what wow?
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, yeah, this is where I was kind
Speaker 1: of like, okay, this is where it was too much.
Speaker 1: It's too much of the constant changing, storming off.
Speaker 4: It was, Yeah, she just can't stop doing it for
Speaker 4: some reason.
Speaker 1: Eddie and his mom, however, high five because this is
Speaker 1: good news. The next day, the principal announces that Trudy
Speaker 1: won the contest to the whole school. Her movie will
Speaker 1: air tomorrow at eight pm, and he encourages all the
Speaker 1: students to tune in. And then it is the big night.
Speaker 1: True Jack and Denise are ready to watch, surrounded by snacks.
Speaker 1: They're joined by Ginny, but her dad, of course, has
Speaker 1: not gotten home yet. He swore he'd make it, but
Speaker 1: he only has a few minutes left. Ed he enters
Speaker 1: the room in dark sunglasses and a shirt printed to
Speaker 1: look like a tuxedo. He's ready for his close up.
Speaker 4: The phone rings. It's Bob.
Speaker 1: He's still at the hospital and running late. He asks
Speaker 1: True to tape it. They'll watch it together later, but
Speaker 1: she's of course extremely disappointed. And then the show starts.
Speaker 1: Everyone is seated at the walker house and enthralled back
Speaker 1: at the hospital. Bill sees it on the nearby TV
Speaker 1: and he stops dead in his tracks. It's time for
Speaker 1: a day in the life of Trudy Walker.
Speaker 6: Better than that.
Speaker 2: Well, why would they use true confessions here?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd think, I don't know, that's a great idea.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what.
Speaker 2: Was like in all caps. What the hell is this?
Speaker 2: We im a title already, True questions.
Speaker 4: The name of the movie.
Speaker 1: It is a movie about Eddie splicing together fun memories.
Speaker 1: Eddie sees himself on TV like Gilligan. It's a bit
Speaker 1: of a music video. And we see Bill watching at
Speaker 1: the hospital, still smiling and shaking his head.
Speaker 4: Why didn't he just come home? If he's just gonna
Speaker 4: stand there and watch.
Speaker 2: Then No, it's like you're just standing there.
Speaker 1: Just go yeah or something, because you're just I'm standing there,
Speaker 1: So yeah, I didn't understand that. Back in the movie,
Speaker 1: True calls Eddie the most beautiful and profound person she knows.
Speaker 1: It is a gorgeous portrait of siblings that eventually shifts
Speaker 1: when she admits having a brother with a mental disability
Speaker 1: is not always easy. She includes the hard footage the
Speaker 1: tough times that she instinctually wanted to exclude. She continues
Speaker 1: her narration over the tough Kite footage, explaining he throws fits,
Speaker 1: and True admits it embarrasses her. She wishes others would
Speaker 1: take the time to get to know him the way
Speaker 1: that she does. It ends with a return to uplifting
Speaker 1: footage as True tells the audience not to feel sorry
Speaker 1: for him or her. He's happy and she gets to
Speaker 1: learn from him. The movie comes to an end and
Speaker 1: her friends and family loved it. Eddie tells True she's
Speaker 1: going to be a star, a big, humongous star. Back
Speaker 1: at the hospital, her dad watches the whole thing, so
Speaker 1: watch an entire thing, ignoring whatever dying patient he was
Speaker 1: supposedly there to see. The patient's probably dead by now.
Speaker 1: Another doctor watched right next to him. Apparently the doctors
Speaker 1: have nothing to do. He's very impressed, but didn't see
Speaker 1: Bob in it at all. Bob realizes he's become an
Speaker 1: invisible father. Back at the house, True admits it was
Speaker 1: scary to open herself up. She imagines classmates and teachers
Speaker 1: calling her a movie cliche and ineffective.
Speaker 4: She's ready to face the school anyway, though.
Speaker 1: In the next morning, she walks the halls with her
Speaker 1: head held high, and to her surprise, everyone loved it.
Speaker 1: They applaud her and Eddie, who hugged Before class, True
Speaker 1: captures a glimpse of Billy Billy and just ignores him.
Speaker 1: When True gets home, her dad wants to talk. He
Speaker 1: tells her he watched the show and loved it, but
Speaker 1: most people probably.
Speaker 4: Think she doesn't even have a dad.
Speaker 1: She says she tried to include him, but if she
Speaker 1: used his footage he would have been really mad.
Speaker 4: He doesn't believe her. He wants to see it. She
Speaker 4: warns him it might hurt his feelings, but they sit
Speaker 4: and watch his raw footage anyway.
Speaker 1: He sees himself overreacting to spilled milk, getting mad at
Speaker 1: Eddie for playing in the house and repeatedly leaving for work.
Speaker 1: He's at first defensive, then starts to see his true self.
Speaker 1: He wonders if it's like this all the time, and
Speaker 1: True says yes. She tries to make him feel better
Speaker 1: that they know he's under a lot of stress at work,
Speaker 1: but he says it's no excuse. They deserve better. He
Speaker 1: doesn't even recognize himself on the tapes. True says Eddie
Speaker 1: loves them no matter what they are his entire world.
Speaker 1: All they have to do is love him back. She
Speaker 1: hugs her dad and suggests they throw the footage out.
Speaker 1: He says, no, save it, she may need it to
Speaker 1: keep him in line. He leaves, and one last scene
Speaker 1: makes its way to the screen, the one where she
Speaker 1: says she would want to cast someone else to play
Speaker 1: her mom on TV. She now notices in the background
Speaker 1: how much that hurt her mom. As a result, True
Speaker 1: wants to clear the air. She tells her mom that
Speaker 1: she didn't need to be d D just to connect.
Speaker 1: Ginny says she just misses her daughter. They both start
Speaker 1: to cry, and True admits it just hit her. She
Speaker 1: grew up with Eddie playing and having fun, but now
Speaker 1: she'll go to probably get married and have kids, but
Speaker 1: Eddie will always stay Eddie, and now they're both sobbing.
Speaker 1: She then turns around, yells at her mom and storms out, No,
Speaker 1: I'm kidding, that didn't happen. They just ended with them
Speaker 1: both sobbing. Just seeing everyone's still there with us, True
Speaker 1: is back in her room talking to her camera. She
Speaker 1: admits her life isn't a TV show, so what things
Speaker 1: don't get wrapped up nice and tidy, they can always improve.
Speaker 1: She updates us on some changes. Her dad is around
Speaker 1: a lot more and trying to relax her mom promised
Speaker 1: to be more available to talk and True will be
Speaker 1: more open with her in return, and Eddie, well, it's
Speaker 1: safe to say that Eddie will.
Speaker 4: Always be Eddie.
Speaker 1: True finally puts down the camera to play with her brother.
Speaker 1: They're watching his soccer goal and True's assist over and
Speaker 1: over and over again. Truth says they should watch something else.
Speaker 1: They don't need this on repeat. It's not going to change,
Speaker 1: to which Eddie says, I like it. I don't want
Speaker 1: it to change. It's you and me being twins. We
Speaker 1: see them as kids back in the field, now reunited
Speaker 1: and holding hands, and then we get some information about
Speaker 1: the special Olympics and a support group for siblings than
Speaker 1: the credits, and that's our movie.
Speaker 4: And I'm sure Sabrina.
Speaker 1: Was sob and sobbing, sobbing by this point, ending.
Speaker 3: With the same overall outfit and in the field I
Speaker 3: was ill Ohen knows how to do it.
Speaker 1: He is done, and of course it ends once again
Speaker 1: with True yelling at her mom and storming out.
Speaker 4: Let's do some real reviews.
Speaker 1: I think I have the five star review this week
Speaker 1: from our old friend who Noma who Nomina is back? Yes, unnamed? Okay,
Speaker 1: this is like the best movie Disney ever made. Shila
Speaker 1: buff was so amazing and this is some of the
Speaker 1: best acting I've ever seen from him. Like the kite scene,
Speaker 1: it was so sad I cried. I don't disagree with
Speaker 1: that review. Frankly, yes, very wonderful, Sabrina, what was the
Speaker 1: one star review?
Speaker 2: No, one star this week is from Delilah. F this
Speaker 2: was sad as hell.
Speaker 3: I all so agree, but one star but one star
Speaker 3: it was like so good it was that sad it
Speaker 3: made you feel something, Delilah. That's how you rate a movie.
Speaker 1: Oh, Delilah, Hey there, Delilah, Hey dere Delilah, you just
Speaker 1: gave us one star for no real reason. Okay, so
Speaker 1: we've got are coming once again to Sabrina's favorite part
Speaker 1: of the program. Here that is producer Jensen's feature of
Speaker 1: the week.
Speaker 4: Our feature this week is called public access.
Speaker 1: So in true Confessions, the main character hopes to show
Speaker 1: on our local channel will turn into worldwide fame. Now
Speaker 1: this rings true because many celebrities did start their careers
Speaker 1: on local news programs.
Speaker 4: So we're gonna read a.
Speaker 1: Description of a celebrity whose origin is just like trus
Speaker 1: and we have to guess who it is three out
Speaker 1: of five wins. This is gonna be tough.
Speaker 4: Producer Jensen, you with us.
Speaker 6: Well, I hear there's no multiple choice though, just reminding
Speaker 6: you that.
Speaker 1: I know that's why this is gonna be so hard.
Speaker 1: There's a couple here where I'll hopefully you have.
Speaker 3: A key through f key you can pick from.
Speaker 4: Again, that's just multiple choice.
Speaker 6: Literally, what's not happening here we go?
Speaker 1: So number one, this talk show host might have counted
Speaker 1: down from ten, but his number one was as a
Speaker 1: weatherman in Indianapolis.
Speaker 4: You know you must know this one.
Speaker 6: I mean you should probably define.
Speaker 1: Must you should probably know this one.
Speaker 2: Ry Ryan's seekers.
Speaker 6: You know what? No, but but I actually am fine
Speaker 6: with where I got it from. Sense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I'm gonna say David Letterman.
Speaker 6: It's David Letterman.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, David Letterman did his top tens.
Speaker 1: Number two, the one who knocks, more like the one
Speaker 1: who starts his career in local Granada Hills TV commercials.
Speaker 4: The one who.
Speaker 2: Knocks like, come and knock on my door.
Speaker 1: Maybe I I don't even know you said come and
Speaker 1: knock on our door?
Speaker 4: Okay, John, you're thinking is John Ritter? Okay?
Speaker 6: John Ritter Nope, it's Brian Cranston, the one who knocks?
Speaker 6: Is that what he's called in Breaking Bad? Literally probably
Speaker 6: the greatest TV show ever?
Speaker 4: Oh, I've seen it. I don't remember that at all
Speaker 4: the way. Okay, Brian the one who knocks? Yes, gotcha? Okay.
Speaker 1: Number three another weatherman, this time in Nashville, which is
Speaker 1: a name that has three vowels.
Speaker 6: What oh, this one will really bother you when you
Speaker 6: don't get it. Well, wait a.
Speaker 1: Minute, Okay, a weather man this time in Nashville, which
Speaker 1: is a name that has three vowels.
Speaker 2: Would it be a country star? It is the Nashville.
Speaker 4: Three vowels?
Speaker 1: Oh god, this is going to really upset me when
Speaker 1: I don't okay, I don't even have a guess.
Speaker 6: I can't believe it. It's Pat say Jack.
Speaker 4: Oh, now I get the question out. You're doing it?
Speaker 6: Well? Still only one right for Will and on reaching
Speaker 6: going for the goose egg.
Speaker 4: Here we go.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 4: Number four.
Speaker 1: Some could argue he's the modern day King of Late night,
Speaker 1: but his journey started as the Prince of Sports on
Speaker 1: l A's local alt rock radio station.
Speaker 4: I think I know this one.
Speaker 2: Who's that? He?
Speaker 3: I love his show at night because it's like he's
Speaker 3: like the biggest fan of everyone that comes on his show.
Speaker 2: That's that's so cool about him. What is his name?
Speaker 2: I've been on it too, You've been on the show?
Speaker 2: Is it Jimmy Fallon?
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 6: It's Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, yeah, he does. All right, So here we go.
Speaker 4: I got one last.
Speaker 2: He was he was, he was on k Rock he was. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's awesome.
Speaker 6: Were not with him, but we were on the same show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right before ending up. And this is number five,
Speaker 1: the last one. So I could win with this one.
Speaker 1: Sabrina could get one right, number five before ending up
Speaker 1: as a mainstay on The Today Show. This hard to
Speaker 1: pronounce names started her career in Greenville, Mississippi, as an
Speaker 1: unsuccessful news anchor with zero experience.
Speaker 4: The Today Show? Whose name the Today Show? With a
Speaker 4: hard to pronounce Today's Show are? I don't know either?
Speaker 1: Is the only one I could think of it? No,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, what's the Morning Show? It's George Stephanopolis, but
Speaker 1: that's not a woman.
Speaker 4: Today's Show?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 6: Grat it's Hoda codem.
Speaker 4: Who what you don't know Hoda, I know Coda, yeah.
Speaker 6: Codem, I don't.
Speaker 4: Okay, wow wow, I got two for five. We both lost.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, producer Jensen for once making us feel
Speaker 1: pretty stupid.
Speaker 6: I means happened recently.
Speaker 4: I appreciate that. I think I think we definitely need
Speaker 4: multiple choices.
Speaker 2: It's really tough. I was just pulling celebrities names out
Speaker 2: of nowhere. I got Jimmy kill.
Speaker 6: I can't believe that. Brian Cranston one. I thought I
Speaker 6: thought you'd have that one for sure.
Speaker 4: I only I've only seen Breaking Bad once. I'd like
Speaker 4: to watch through it again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but thank you very much, producer Jensen.
Speaker 4: And now can we do some Sabrina seas?
Speaker 2: Yes we can?
Speaker 3: Okay, so god, I gave up all my Sabrita seas
Speaker 3: or we had them already done from you.
Speaker 2: You kind of covered most of them.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 2: Two things did this house give you?
Speaker 3: And it might be and I'm like, it's probably just
Speaker 3: because Will and I went to the remake of it.
Speaker 3: Gave me Brady Bunch vibes so much throughout the whole.
Speaker 2: Did it at all?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, it kind of it gave me.
Speaker 1: It was a cool architecturally design house like that house.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it gave me such brady bunch of vibes.
Speaker 3: I kept going, God, every I wrote it like three times,
Speaker 3: like every time we get back into this that one
Speaker 3: living room part where you know, like at the very
Speaker 3: beginning where he overlooks and or overhears their conversation. That Yeah,
Speaker 3: that whole scene right there.
Speaker 4: Just a cool constant.
Speaker 3: Also again very confused on how they were on a
Speaker 3: soccer team together.
Speaker 2: I think it's cool. I actually thought it was like
Speaker 2: a really cool idea.
Speaker 3: If that's not something that is offered, that it would
Speaker 3: be cool for especially like siblings or you know, for
Speaker 3: you to dedicate your time or donate your time to
Speaker 3: to play with others like that. But Eddie was off
Speaker 3: sides and that's that gold did not.
Speaker 1: Way way off side and it didn't count. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: thought the same thing. I didn't want to bring it up,
Speaker 1: but Eddie was.
Speaker 3: It's literally says, not trying to take away from his
Speaker 3: glory moment, but that gold didn't count.
Speaker 4: Yeah he was. I know, he was off side.
Speaker 2: At every single angle they show up.
Speaker 4: It he was. Obviously it wasn't even close. Unfortunately, No,
Speaker 4: he was way off side. I know, I thought the
Speaker 4: same thing.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. And then I did notice, you know,
Speaker 2: I always music always pops out to me. This was
Speaker 2: different for us in a lot of ways.
Speaker 3: The music had a lot of adult artists versus being young.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: A lot of times is the synergy that Disney pulls
Speaker 3: into it where they have even the actors that are
Speaker 3: actually on screen doing using their music. And a lot
Speaker 3: of the music was actually like obviously an adult artist,
Speaker 3: which I thought was different. And I thought all the
Speaker 3: songs worked. It wasn't like a bad thing, It just
Speaker 3: was something very different. And then yes, pushed that over
Speaker 3: that bridge. I was so excited. That's the last little thing.
Speaker 3: And then again biggest library, and it was his line,
Speaker 3: I want.
Speaker 2: To be done being different.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just my line that just took me right over
Speaker 3: that edge myself. I was just so oh god, this poor.
Speaker 3: I mean, it is so difficult, and I just it was.
Speaker 3: This was a good movie for me. I loved watching it.
Speaker 3: All the stuff I said was just the funny thing.
Speaker 3: The plastic bowls is in bright Yeah, of course, the
Speaker 3: giant letters are big BoNT bolded, Like, what the hell
Speaker 3: get the plastic bowls.
Speaker 2: I will always always backing on the plastic bowls.
Speaker 4: How hard is that to get plastic bulls? Suit doesn't
Speaker 4: even let me have glass stuff.
Speaker 1: Okay, so now let's rate our film for the week
Speaker 1: one out of ten, one being the worst, ten being
Speaker 1: the best. We're gonna do that this week, and our
Speaker 1: options are one out of ten. Absent ease, just remember
Speaker 1: no e on the end of True Confessions number two
Speaker 1: one out of ten, Paparazzis Hot Rozzisarazza Rozsi, Hot Junior Boys,
Speaker 1: Hot Fudge Sundays one out of ten, Girls storming Off
Speaker 1: one out of ten, Nasty bo and Harrybacks one out
Speaker 1: of ten, Massive tornado storms one out of ten, Total
Speaker 1: souls one out of ten, Biggest live praise in the world,
Speaker 1: or one out.
Speaker 4: Of ten D coms to cry about Sabrina?
Speaker 3: You picked this week with d cooms to cry about
Speaker 3: the one hundred percent hands down, because I cried pretty
Speaker 3: much top to bottom of this movie. I like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I just literally was like, geez, I am such a
Speaker 3: sobby mom, just like my own mom.
Speaker 2: Now it happened to me.
Speaker 3: All those times I made fun of her for every
Speaker 3: car dot she opened and just continuously cried all the time.
Speaker 3: Now it's happening to me. Payback is a bee for sure.
Speaker 1: There you go, Karma, Karma, I think, uh, I think
Speaker 1: you rated first last time, so it's my turn to
Speaker 1: go first this time. Okay, I liked this movie. I
Speaker 1: definitely like this movie. The acting is phenomenal. It did
Speaker 1: not feel like a dcom. It felt just like a
Speaker 1: Disney film, if that makes sense. I did not I
Speaker 1: thought I could have used to rewrite a polish. I
Speaker 1: did not like the constantly storming off and the change.
Speaker 1: I mean it got to be too much. That being said,
Speaker 1: the subject matter, what they were covering, the actors doing
Speaker 1: it amazing. So I am giving this a soft eight.
Speaker 1: Okay d coms to cry about because I could have
Speaker 1: gone seven point five. But the acting is so good
Speaker 1: and the subject matter is so important that I could.
Speaker 1: I can feel good with myself giving this an eight
Speaker 1: d cooms to cry about.
Speaker 4: How about you?
Speaker 2: I agree?
Speaker 3: I think it was I really loved it. I think
Speaker 3: I loved it more than you did. But I again,
Speaker 3: I'm a sucker for a SOB story.
Speaker 2: I love it like this.
Speaker 3: To me, I now am completely affirming the fact that
Speaker 3: Stu and Paul are like the greatest team, and this
Speaker 3: was just knocked it out of the ballpark for me.
Speaker 3: There were and I And again I think it's because
Speaker 3: I also was a teenager myself. So her storming off
Speaker 3: that the flip of a hat, how that happens so quick?
Speaker 3: Didn't It wasn't as jarring to me. It started to
Speaker 3: get annoying. Yeah, it's like annoyed with her character, you know.
Speaker 3: And then again you realize what this movie was about,
Speaker 3: and it was about a young teen struggling through how
Speaker 3: to handle such a heavy thing. And again it's hard
Speaker 3: because she's not an adult, so she shouldn't be expected
Speaker 3: to understand or know how to do this. So her
Speaker 3: working through her feelings and her emotions was very real
Speaker 3: in my opinion, and I absolutely loved it. Shia is
Speaker 3: just phenomenal and I killed it. And I thought both
Speaker 3: of the leads, I mean, without one of them, the
Speaker 3: movie might not have been as good as it was,
Speaker 3: to be honest. So it was just such a great movie.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with nine d coms to cry about.
Speaker 3: Paul Hoen, I love you, buddy, I love you, Thank
Speaker 3: you so much. In eighty one minutes, I would do
Speaker 3: it again. I loved this movie so much. I will
Speaker 3: probably watch it again. I'm sure on a rainy day.
Speaker 4: Wow, that's an incredibly rainy.
Speaker 2: Day when it's a storm outside.
Speaker 4: Oh man.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, thank you everybody for joining us. Our next
Speaker 1: movie is taking us back to the Ice, a movie
Speaker 1: mentioned when we reviewed Go Figure. This is its spiritual sister.
Speaker 1: We're talking about two thousand and five's Ice Princess, and
Speaker 1: this is going to be a tribute to the late
Speaker 1: Michelle Trachtenberg.
Speaker 4: We are very excited about this one.
Speaker 1: But before that, for our park Opper episode, we talked
Speaker 1: to a Disney Channel legend, Jennifer Stone, also known as
Speaker 1: Harper Kinkle from Wizards of Waverley Place. She was part
Speaker 1: of an absolute television phenomenon and we talked to her
Speaker 1: all about it.
Speaker 4: Here's a bit of an early listen.
Speaker 3: So you read with Selena, Yeah, what was your guys's
Speaker 3: chemistry like like in the audition?
Speaker 2: Was it like instant? Well, weirdly, I don't know if
Speaker 2: you guys know this.
Speaker 5: So I lived clean and I had never met but
Speaker 5: like I was really close with Demy and we lived
Speaker 5: ten minutes apart from each other in Texas. We immediately
Speaker 5: had that like, oh my god, you're from Texas and
Speaker 5: Demi and like we have that mutual friend that was
Speaker 5: like her best friend, and so it was this kind
Speaker 5: of immediate, like just dissolved any sort of like awkward
Speaker 5: first meeting stuff because we have the Disney Texas Factory connection.
