Speaker 1: How old were you when you got your first ever pet?
Speaker 1: I wouldn't even say dog, just pet, and what was said? Pet? Oh?
Speaker 2: I want to say I was sixth ish, yeah, because
Speaker 2: I was pretty small. It was a big golden retriever. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it wasn't. It wasn't. We got him from the pound too,
Speaker 2: so he was fully grown. I told you about him.
Speaker 2: His name was The pound gave us his name. They
Speaker 2: named him Bandit because he was.
Speaker 1: Like, oh, he kept running away, that's rightswords and taking off.
Speaker 2: Five or six months of it. We had picked him
Speaker 2: up from the pound because we got I don't know
Speaker 2: if it was the chip or whatever, but they definitely
Speaker 2: knew who to call at that point. But yeah, they
Speaker 2: called him bandit because he was like a pound regular.
Speaker 2: So that was my first dog, or well, my and
Speaker 2: my first pet. I didn't have.
Speaker 1: You didn't have anything before that.
Speaker 2: I might have had like goldfish that you know, the
Speaker 2: ones that last a week or whatever from a affair
Speaker 2: that you win from that one specific game.
Speaker 1: The pink pong job is teaching everybody how to play pong,
Speaker 1: the drinking game. We all started with fish.
Speaker 2: Yeah that I might have had maybe one of those before,
Speaker 2: but he was my first pet. Okay, interesting, and what
Speaker 2: about you?
Speaker 1: I had a gerbil named Charcoal when I was eight
Speaker 1: or nine, and then my brother got cats and the
Speaker 1: gerbil didn't last much after.
Speaker 2: Yes, what when do you think getting road killed type
Speaker 2: animals as pets started?
Speaker 1: Why is it why gerbils aren't road killed kind of pets?
Speaker 2: Where are they from? And what do they do?
Speaker 1: It is true, it's it's it's just like a rebrand
Speaker 1: a gerbil?
Speaker 2: Can you cut?
Speaker 1: Probably shouldn't, right?
Speaker 2: Can you?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: I don't know whatzzle your gerbil? Or did it just
Speaker 2: stay in a cave.
Speaker 1: First of all, I've got to say, just from a
Speaker 1: euphemism standpoint, nuzzle your gerbil sounds like something that we
Speaker 1: should put on a T shirt immediately. So yeah, let's
Speaker 1: just be honest with that. This early in the morning, Sabrina,
Speaker 1: where your mind is going?
Speaker 2: I went like this? I mean I really did, like,
Speaker 2: oh Like it was not like a oh God, there
Speaker 2: we go for you over the last couple of days.
Speaker 1: Well I'm speaking of pets. Well, first of all, let's
Speaker 1: welcome you back to Magical Rewind, the show that makes
Speaker 1: you want to grab your friends, your BJ's and your popcorn.
Speaker 1: And get back to a time when no the houses
Speaker 1: were smart, the wave tsunamis and you nuzzled your gerbil.
Speaker 1: I'm Wilfordell.
Speaker 2: And I am Sabrina Brian surviving on this podcast.
Speaker 1: Yes, so leash up your dog and lock the sidegate,
Speaker 1: because this week's magical rewind. We're barking up. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say the wrong tree. In two thousand and one's coming
Speaker 1: of age film Hounded, as I guessed last week off
Speaker 1: the title alone, this one involves a dog. Actually you
Speaker 1: did too. We were both like, it's got to be
Speaker 1: about a dog, but I would never have guessed. It's
Speaker 1: also a weird kind of true crime drama and also
Speaker 1: a bizarre physical comedy attempt, and we'll get into it.
Speaker 1: It was released on April thirteenth, two thousand and one,
Speaker 1: and is often forgotten within the dcom lexicon. We sometimes
Speaker 1: might not be the worst thing. We sometimes get a
Speaker 1: high school musical or a xenon to review, and then
Speaker 1: sometimes we're watching movie that's long lost in the archives,
Speaker 1: and that's what we're watching with Hounded, And to be honest,
Speaker 1: that's a little surprising considering the cast is amazingly impressive
Speaker 1: and recognizable and that's the truth. Yes, first off, as
Speaker 1: everybody likes to know, we are returning to the dcom
Speaker 1: capital of the country. I'm gonna say world, not even
Speaker 1: country World, Salt Lake City, Utah for filming. One central
Speaker 1: location was the Magdalene Choir School campus, which includes a
Speaker 1: beautiful church built in nineteen oh nine and is the
Speaker 1: only cathedral in the US under the patronage of Saint
Speaker 1: Mary Magdalene. And it shoul come as no surprise it
Speaker 1: was produced by Don Shane, the man who connected Disney
Speaker 1: Original films to Utah in the first place. AVHS was
Speaker 1: released for this one almost exactly one year after its
Speaker 1: debut on the channel. But critics also did not love
Speaker 1: this one back in two thousand and one, and currently
Speaker 1: it is below fifty percent on Rotten Tomatoes, which I
Speaker 1: guess is still the kind of the benchmark is rotten tomatoes? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the way to serve I guess. So it's certified fresh
Speaker 1: and all this kind of stuff. But what a critics
Speaker 1: know in this case, I think a lot. But thanks
Speaker 1: to Disney Plus and Lucky for the mission statement of
Speaker 1: our podcast, Hounded isn't actually lost. It is currently streaming
Speaker 1: on the studio's flagship streamer. You can watch it now
Speaker 1: or wait till we're done and see what we got wrong.
Speaker 1: Write down all the mistakes, then call five five five
Speaker 1: six five six nine and leave a message for us.
Speaker 1: If you take anything away from today's podcast, let it
Speaker 1: be that we want to hear from you. It's ninety
Speaker 1: nine cents the first minute, sixty two dollars each additional minute,
Speaker 1: and now let's get your voice modulators ready. It's time
Speaker 1: to kidnap a Pomeranian and get into the synopsis. In
Speaker 1: an attempt to foil his mean spirited rival, high school
Speaker 1: student Jay accidentally kidnaps his principals seemingly cute, tiny dog,
Speaker 1: and it turns out to be a nightmare of a
Speaker 1: beast who Sabrina, What were your early thoughts on Hounded?
Speaker 2: Well, my early thought was, I was, as you said,
Speaker 2: so excited about this cast. I was excited, honestly, knowing
Speaker 2: like two of one of my favorite young child actors
Speaker 2: being linked together. I was so pumped for it. I
Speaker 2: had never heard of it, so that did make me
Speaker 2: feel a little nervous. Once we started getting into it instantly,
Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, this is like our typical
Speaker 2: you know what we look for as far as what
Speaker 2: a dcom of this time was, and I was kind
Speaker 2: of interested to see where it went. Those were my
Speaker 2: early thoughts. I also went, oh, no, I don't. I
Speaker 2: don't think Will's gonna like this one. More what my
Speaker 2: early thoughts were than anything else.
Speaker 1: Okay, was I right? You were right? Yeah? It took
Speaker 1: me three days to watch this movie. Really, it really did.
Speaker 1: And I'm with you. One of the best casts we've
Speaker 1: had of any dcom. Yeah, which we'll get into, but
Speaker 1: I mean a crazy cast. And they were all good.
Speaker 1: There was not a single dud in the bunch when
Speaker 1: it came to acting. Everybody was great. I didn't get
Speaker 1: the story. I didn't get where they were going. Some
Speaker 1: of it made absolutely no sense. Uh it was. This
Speaker 1: was a rough one for me. It seemed to me like,
Speaker 1: and I even stopped to look up when it was
Speaker 1: made in two thousand and one. It seemed to me
Speaker 1: like the one scene in there, something about Mary where
Speaker 1: the little dog attacks Ben Stiller, that somebody watched that,
Speaker 1: And when I'm going to make an entire dcom about this,
Speaker 1: I swear to god they watched. And oh, I'm going
Speaker 1: to do a ninety minute movie hopefully about this one seed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could see how you think my real trip
Speaker 2: up and ends that happens at the end. And you know,
Speaker 2: I am one of the biggest things for me with
Speaker 2: d coms is I am looking for a good learning
Speaker 2: moment and the learning moment did not add up, and
Speaker 2: I was just like, Okay. Then I went oh, because
Speaker 2: other than that, I kind of took it as like
Speaker 2: on that let with two thousand and one, this is
Speaker 2: right before yeah, the like full blown lock in of
Speaker 2: what this mom is. This was like that middle area.
Speaker 2: So I kind of gave it a little bit more grace,
Speaker 2: mainly because the cast was so good. Yeah, so amazing,
Speaker 2: that's you.
Speaker 1: Know, Okay, well let's get into who that cast is.
Speaker 1: But first, Hounded was directed by Neil Israel, a name
Speaker 1: we have seen before. He directed the Dcmpoof Point and
Speaker 1: had quite a career, amazing career in both TV and
Speaker 1: movies over the decades. He first burst onto the scene
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty four with the raunchy Tom Hanks comedy
Speaker 1: Bachelor Party, which, for anybody my age, was the one
Speaker 1: you'd sneak into and stuck in the frat guy VHS
Speaker 1: rental scene with movies like Moving Violations and Breaking the Rules.
Speaker 1: Then in the nineties he transitioned into family films like Surf,
Speaker 1: Ninja's Two Different, Mary Kate and Ashley movies, and TV
Speaker 1: shows like Lucy Maguire and Even Stevens. He's also a
Speaker 1: legendary writer as the mind behind Police Academy, Real Genius
Speaker 1: and Look Who's Talking To? Now, Look Who's Talking To?
Speaker 1: Is a decent movie. The first one was better, but
Speaker 1: Police Academy and Real Genius are two great eighties films.
Speaker 2: Oh I would say, Look Who's Talking To is a
Speaker 2: great It was.
Speaker 1: It wasn't as good as the first one, though the
Speaker 1: first one was great.
Speaker 2: First Yeah, great, hop notch and it's.
Speaker 1: The return of Let's start this cast because amazing Taj Moury.
Speaker 1: He plays the lead Jay Martin. Toaj is part of
Speaker 1: the storied Moury siblings. We saw his sisters Tia and
Speaker 1: Tamara in Twitch's and Twitch's part de Taj was a
Speaker 1: regular guest star in Full House, but was best known
Speaker 1: as the lead of the family sitcom Smart Guy. We
Speaker 1: know him from the dcoms. Of course, The Proofpoint another
Speaker 1: collaboration between him and Neil Israel, and of course I
Speaker 1: worked with him on the animated series Kim Possible. I
Speaker 1: Got to Go. Wade Taj was most recently in the
Speaker 1: Disney Machine again for the twenty twenty three show The
Speaker 1: Muppets Mayhem and we have a very young standout performance
Speaker 1: yet again from arguably the best child actor to ever live,
Speaker 1: which is you could really make the argument that is
Speaker 1: Shi La buff As Ronnie van Duzen. We know Shia
Speaker 1: from the Even Stevens d com and we also recapped
Speaker 1: his movie True Confessions. Shia's career began at twelve years
Speaker 1: old and his roller coaster life in the spotlight has
Speaker 1: included huge blockbusters like I Robot and Transformers. Grow up
Speaker 1: and focus on what he'd called performance art. But in
Speaker 1: the end he's had some issues and he's just kind
Speaker 1: of shy it now. But there's no denying he is
Speaker 1: an absolutely incredible actor. And again, if you put together
Speaker 1: a list of the top five child actors of all time,
Speaker 1: anybody who knows anything about it could not exclude him
Speaker 1: from that list. Ever, He's amazing. Craig Kirkwood is Mike Martin.
Speaker 1: He's most recognizable from his role in the Denzel movie
Speaker 1: Remember the Titans, but also appeared on TV shows like
Speaker 1: My So Called Life, Family Matters, Fresh, Prince of bel Air,
Speaker 1: and another Mower family project, Sister Sister. His last acting
Speaker 1: credit is from two thousand and six And We've Got
Speaker 1: Sarah Paxton as Tracy Richberg. The former child actress worked
Speaker 1: on a ton as a kid like TV shows such
Speaker 1: as Will and Grace, Lizzie McGuire, Passions in Summerland or
Speaker 1: is it Summerland? Summerland, Summerland, Somewhere in the summer, there's
Speaker 1: a land. That's the show she was on. She starred
Speaker 1: in Aquamarine, a movie with Emma Roberts and Jojo. Is
Speaker 1: Jojo different than Joe Joe Siwa or Joe Joe?
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, yes, like could not be, Like, oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, oh gosh, will.
Speaker 1: Somebody just producing reason is on how Dare You? Jojo
Speaker 1: is also a cookie so and there's plenty of things
Speaker 1: it could be.
Speaker 2: Jojo was an artist that came out a lot earlier
Speaker 2: than Jojo. Siwah was like a little little girl. She
Speaker 2: was like way different.
Speaker 1: Okay different, So this is a different Jojo. I've offended
Speaker 1: a Jojo. Apparently I apologize to all the JoJo's in
Speaker 1: the world. We take it back.
Speaker 2: Are we back right now?
Speaker 1: Now? I have to ask, are we offending Jojo or
Speaker 1: we offending Joe Joe Seewa, Well Jojo.
Speaker 2: The one we're talking about in this movie, or well
Speaker 2: she's not in this movie, but in Aquamarine she's a
Speaker 2: singer like she has. Jo Jojo Seawaw started on that
Speaker 2: show Dance Moms or yeah, dance Moms where it was
Speaker 2: like a reality show. And then but there's not to
Speaker 2: say anything terrible what she's done. I mean, she took
Speaker 2: her career and just flew forward making Monroe has probably
Speaker 2: four or five of her like giant bows like she's
Speaker 2: I mean, she's made a career for herself and her
Speaker 2: own right. But when it comes to like music and art,
Speaker 2: it's like, oh yeah, Like then.
Speaker 1: I apologize to whichever Jojo I should apologize to. I
Speaker 1: humbly mean that, whatever Jojo you are. And on the
Speaker 1: dcom side, this Jojo would start in return to holl No,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, not Jojo. This Sarah Paxton would start in
Speaker 1: Halloween Town, the two thousand and six entry to the
Speaker 1: Scary franchise, which was a look into her future because
Speaker 1: she has since starred in a bunch of great modern
Speaker 1: day horror movies like The Innkeepers, The Last House in
Speaker 1: the Left, and Cheap Thrills. And she has also helped
Speaker 1: with two huge horror movies directed and written by her husband,
Speaker 1: one of the biggest emerging filmmakers today, Zach Krieger, and
Speaker 1: his movies Barbarian and Weapons Worth noting, I guess those
Speaker 1: are two movies, Barbarian and Weapons Worth noting. She was
Speaker 1: in a wheelchair for the film, but it is obviously
Speaker 1: not in a wheelchair in real life. And then we
Speaker 1: have just credited as girl number one, we have Olyssa Rulin.
Speaker 1: This was her first acting role, but she would go
Speaker 1: on to star as Kelsey Nielsen one of Disney Channel's
Speaker 1: biggest franchises, High School Musical. I said it went back
Speaker 1: because of course we know there's an explanation point. She
Speaker 1: also starred in Halloween Town High, the TV series Greek,
Speaker 1: Drop Dead, Diva Powers, Ncis Los Angeles, The Rookie, and more.
Speaker 1: So it all started with her one line in this movie.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go ahead and scratch my number one. Star
Speaker 2: stars starred Sabrita seas Right off.
Speaker 1: My sorry, we're gonna take that off. There you go.
Speaker 1: You can talk about Jojo.
Speaker 2: Sh I was so excited to see her. It's so
Speaker 2: great because this shows how Disney works. You know, you
Speaker 2: go in, you get a small part, and then later on, boom,
Speaker 2: they're giving you like one of your like million dollar
Speaker 2: baby situations.
Speaker 1: It's awesome and I did. It's obviously I didn't know
Speaker 1: who she was, but the second she popped on screen,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I know her, Yeah, I recognize her. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And this week we've got a pretty great one in
Speaker 1: the Dabney Reynolds position. Yes it is, mister, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: instantly call him Sir Ed Bagley Junior as Shy as
Speaker 1: Dad and school Headmaster Ward van Dusen. An established name
Speaker 1: in Hollywood, Begley is a big dcom get. He was
Speaker 1: a TV regular in the seventies and in the eighties
Speaker 1: he starred as doctor Victor Erlick on Saint Elsewhere, a
Speaker 1: role that earned him six consecutive Emmy nominations. On the
Speaker 1: movie side, he appeared in Batman, Forever, Pineapple Express, and
Speaker 1: a slew of Christopher guest movies, including This Is Spinal Tap.
Speaker 1: Best in Show and a Mighty Wind. He was most
Speaker 1: recently seen in Better Call Saul and Young Sheldon. He's
Speaker 1: also one of Hollywood's original environmentalists, as an early adapter
Speaker 1: to things like electric cars, recycling, veganism, and solar power,
Speaker 1: and Begley's real life wife, actress Rachel Carson, plays his
Speaker 1: partner in the movie Too, I didn't know that going in.
Speaker 1: Carson has been in films like But I'm a Cheerleader
Speaker 1: and The Bling Ring, and was seen in recent TV
Speaker 1: shows like Cobrakai. She is also very involved in earth
Speaker 1: related initiatives right alongside her husband, and one thing that
Speaker 1: Beaglees can do to help save the Earth is to
Speaker 1: be in a short movie the less energy exerted. We
Speaker 1: all get home at a reasonable hour, so less carbon monoxide,
Speaker 1: smaller footprint, all that kind of stuff. So that's the
Speaker 1: question is how long is hounded? It's ninety two minutes
Speaker 1: our so close to our target, but two minutes off
Speaker 1: and not on the side we'd hope for. If only
Speaker 1: they could have neutered those one hundred and twenty seconds,
Speaker 1: we'd be much better off.
Speaker 2: Nootered. I love it, but for now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we live in a shattered reality. It's tough.
Speaker 2: Too long. We got to go back to that.
Speaker 1: It is long, Yes, I did. I had to watch
Speaker 1: this in chunks. This is one of those movies there's
Speaker 1: two names with the script credit on this one. It
Speaker 1: is a writing team. We have Don Calamy, who is
Speaker 1: the husband of Big Chill actress Meg Tilly, and his
Speaker 1: teammate Chris Conroy. They have only two notable writing credits
Speaker 1: their names, This and the two thousand and six Dane
Speaker 1: Cook Jessica Simpson movie Employee of the Month. We'll just
Speaker 1: leave that there, so let's not waste any more time.
Speaker 1: We have your dog and we want five grand in trade,
Speaker 1: or you know, let's just recaphound it. We open with
Speaker 1: some black and white animation, almost like preliminary sketches you
Speaker 1: see for cartoons. A young boy knocks on the door
Speaker 1: of his school headmaster and is welcomed by a man
Speaker 1: who removes a mask to reveal a terrifying, big bad wolf.
Speaker 1: The rabbit animal tries to eat the head of the boy,
Speaker 1: who just barely avoids it by ducking his head into
Speaker 1: his shirt. The kid runs off and the wolf laughs.
Speaker 1: We pull out to find it is in fact a
Speaker 1: cartoon being drawn by a real life teenager in a
Speaker 1: school uniform. His name is Jay, and he's in his
Speaker 1: art studio inspired bedroom. Starting in a bedroom, let's get
Speaker 1: to know our characters. We hear a parent yell out
Speaker 1: that breakfast is ready, and so he grabs a backpack
Speaker 1: and makes his way downstairs. We also get a glimpse
Speaker 1: of a frame picture of the kid with what appears
Speaker 1: to be his dad on a baseball field. Now in
Speaker 1: the kitchen, his mom reveals she got a call from
Speaker 1: Aunt Lois this morning. She broke her ankle again and
Speaker 1: is in the hospital. Will need to go stay with
Speaker 1: her for a week to help. Even though Jay assures
Speaker 1: her he can be home alone, She's called his brother
Speaker 1: to come down from Starkwell Military Academy to keep him company.
Speaker 1: Jay is very much not thrilled with this decision. His
Speaker 1: brother is just gonna yell at him and bost him
Speaker 1: around all day. He even says he hates me, which
Speaker 1: I thought was like wow. His mom swears it's just
Speaker 1: because his brother cares about him. She leaves cash for
Speaker 1: the week and some frozen dinners in the freezer, then
Speaker 1: apologizes for missing the awards ceremony tonight. Jay explains he
Speaker 1: hasn't won anything yet, but she insists she's proud of
Speaker 1: him and his dad would have been too. So, yes, folks,
Speaker 1: it seems like we have a dead dad alert, dead
Speaker 1: dead dad guys, the return of the deceased parent to
Speaker 1: the dcom Did you see this coming?
Speaker 2: I the picture frame gave me a little twinkle of oh,
Speaker 2: there's something there, But also did you not go? Okay?
Speaker 2: So we just got the entire backstory within like a minute,
Speaker 2: in forty three seconds, yep, of this is what's happening.
Speaker 2: This is why it's okay that you're going to be
Speaker 2: at the house by yourself, your brother's going to be here,
Speaker 2: like boom boom boom boom boom. Like that was a
Speaker 2: lot of information within the first three minutes of the movie.
Speaker 1: I'm also it's also I'm sorry your your son is
Speaker 1: that night not a week from now. That night has
Speaker 1: a huge presentation that could determine his entire future. You
Speaker 1: can't wait twenty four hours to go be with your
Speaker 1: sister who broke her ankle. She's yea, not in a coma.
Speaker 1: She's not.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's not. It's not a life threatening situation.
Speaker 1: She broke her ankle and had the mom been there?
Speaker 1: See this is where the movie to me was like,
Speaker 1: had the mom been there? And he said, Mom, this
Speaker 1: is my presentation. I read part of this to you.
Speaker 2: Like, oh no, no, well then you're gonna go up
Speaker 2: and give it and we're gonna have a talk right now.
Speaker 1: Movie over. That's what it is. But no, Mom has
Speaker 1: to go now. I have to leave right now because
Speaker 1: she broke her ankle. It's like, come on, and you
Speaker 1: even said this is the second time she's done it.
Speaker 1: She's broken her ankle before she can be okay for
Speaker 1: hobble around for twenty four hours. It's literally about his
Speaker 1: entire scholarship chapter.
Speaker 2: Of his life, next chapter, so that's going right away.
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, already not buying this, Like
Speaker 1: you're not gonna wait for twenty four hours, but this's
Speaker 1: like good luck on your giant thing you're doing. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I was that was already like right from a writing standpoint,
Speaker 1: I was like, really, make it something better. She was
Speaker 1: in a car. I mean, you don't have to go crazy,
Speaker 1: but she's something to where it's not like she broke
Speaker 1: her ankle. I have to go again. Good luck on
Speaker 1: that giant thing you've been working your whole life on.
Speaker 1: See you tomorrow, right, that was.
Speaker 2: Weird to me, or even the fact that he was
Speaker 2: like so okay with it too, like let's.
Speaker 1: Constantly yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: It made sense easily to just be like she's a
Speaker 2: now single mom who has a high powered job, and
Speaker 2: she has a conference that she can't miss, like this.
Speaker 1: Is to make a day life something, yes.
Speaker 2: A day life that she is always just unfortunately unable
Speaker 2: to be there because she's a single mom. Like here
Speaker 2: you go, that.
Speaker 1: Would have been good, but nope, they didn't do that.
Speaker 1: So they sister broke her ankle again, so she's gonna
Speaker 1: leave him some money and hope he's alive in a week.
Speaker 1: Jay is worried his dad would have been disappointed because
Speaker 1: he didn't go to stark Well, but his mom encourages
Speaker 1: him to focus on the Peterson scholarship instead. We're now
Speaker 1: at stark Well. It's a cold day at a boot camp.
Speaker 1: Troops are marching in all directions and Sergeant Mike Martin,
Speaker 1: Jay's brother, is shouting insults at his battalion mid crash out.
Speaker 1: He's told that Colonel Douglas wants to see him asap.
Speaker 1: He dismisses his platoon and runs off to find the
Speaker 1: higher ranking officer, who is aware that Mike's soldiers are
Speaker 1: close to failing this semester. Mike blames their bad grades
Speaker 1: on laziness. The colonel knows he works hard, but thinks
Speaker 1: he doesn't know what it's like to be a leader.
Speaker 1: We learned that the dead Dad used to teach at Starkwell,
Speaker 1: and his vice was always to lead with love, not fear.
Speaker 1: The colonel has heard that Mike is needed at home
Speaker 1: right now, so he suggests some time off to think
Speaker 1: about his future in the military. It's not for everybody,
Speaker 1: he tells him, which is true. We transition from the
Speaker 1: soldier's disappointed look too Columbus Hall High. It's Jay's school,
Speaker 1: starting up for the day. The headmaster, Ward van Dusen,
Speaker 1: scans the crowd of students and confiscates a portable game system,
Speaker 1: which in reality is just a video game controller, just
Speaker 1: one you'd plug into a conser. There's no screen on
Speaker 1: it or anything. There's literally no chance anyone could play
Speaker 1: it without plugging it at home. It's not a thing,
Speaker 1: but that's what he takes and becomes part of the story.
Speaker 2: Oh it comes back so much like if you didn't
Speaker 2: see it the first time. At the end, you're like.
Speaker 1: Wait, it's what's going on with this controller. Jay arrives
Speaker 1: with his friends Bill and Tracy Richberg. Not Bill and
Speaker 1: it's Bill and Tracy Richburg. They're not a married couple.
Speaker 1: It's not Bill and Tracy Richburg, the latter rolling into
Speaker 1: the quad in a wheelchair. A boy on the soccer field, Ronnie,
Speaker 1: haphazardly kicks a ball into the school founder's statue. Then
Speaker 1: it bounces off and hits a teacher in the head.
Speaker 1: He laughs it off, and when the angry staff member
Speaker 1: sees it was Ronnie who kicked it, she just quickly
Speaker 1: smiles and waves. Jay notes that the privileged few get
Speaker 1: away with everything while the nice kids get their unusable
Speaker 1: video game controllers taken away. It's unfair. Jay excitedly pulls it.
Speaker 1: You know what, I was just gonna say, nustle my
Speaker 1: Gerbil again. But I didn't want to do that. Jay
Speaker 1: excitedly pulls out a stack of flash cards to show
Speaker 1: his pal. He flips through them, creating the moving animation
Speaker 1: we saw earlier of the Big bad Headmaster Wolf. You're
Speaker 1: still You're still laughing over nuzzling your gerbil, aren't you?
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, there you go, there you go. That's your
Speaker 1: your Your hashtag of the day is nuzzle my gerbil.
Speaker 1: Oh God. The other side of the cards are filled
Speaker 1: with words from his important scholarship presentation. Then head Master
Speaker 1: Van Duson gets on the microphone for an announcement. He says,
Speaker 1: if you had the rice yesterday, see the nurse if
Speaker 1: you're feeling differently, which I thought was very funny. Secondly,
Speaker 1: all eighth grader should report to the auditorium fifth period
Speaker 1: for the Donald Peterson Memorial Awards competition. The bell rings
Speaker 1: and everyone's off to class and once again, Ronnie kicks
Speaker 1: the soccer ball into the crowd, this time hitting Jay
Speaker 1: right in the face. The flash cards fall to the
Speaker 1: ground and that quad Ronnie seems pretty proud of himself.
Speaker 1: Then Headmaster Van Duson walks out into the yard as
Speaker 1: Jay scurries to pick up the cards, but unfortunately before
Speaker 1: he can scoop them all up. Then Dowson catches a
Speaker 1: glimpse of the drawings and he knows it's a terrible
Speaker 1: cartoon of himself because he picks up the picture of
Speaker 1: a wolfhead. That's the one he shows. He goes it
Speaker 1: doesn't look too much like me. It's like it's the
Speaker 1: picture of a wolf. Why wouldn't they pick up the
Speaker 1: one that's supposed to be him?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would imagine because he is such a bully,
Speaker 2: like he walks. I mean, when he we've already established
Speaker 2: like everyone's kind of either afraid or like basically just
Speaker 2: doesn't like him or hates him right as being this,
Speaker 2: you know, headmaster, because he's a jerk to everyone, I
Speaker 2: would assume this is like I kind of just let
Speaker 2: let it go because I figured this wasn't the first
Speaker 2: time he's seen a caricature of himself.
Speaker 1: Okay, so like it's like an.
Speaker 2: Ongoing thing on campus that everyone hates him.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I was just reading too much. And okay,
Speaker 1: that's fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah you already did like the movie. I could tell No.
Speaker 1: By this point, I'm still okay because again I thought,
Speaker 1: right when Ed Bagley comes on and he's like if
Speaker 1: you had the rice, I'm like, oh, okay, this might
Speaker 1: be more tongue. Yes, some funny comedy and all that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. And again, all the acting was great,
Speaker 1: so I was like, Okay, and Shia. Yeah. I was
Speaker 1: very much still in at this point, although I was like, really,
Speaker 1: you're leaving your kid to go? That was the only
Speaker 1: thing that bumped me. Yeah. So he knows it's a
Speaker 1: terrible cartoon of himself, and even though Jay tries to
Speaker 1: say it isn't him, the Headmaster wonders what his mother
Speaker 1: will think of his creative endeavors. He takes all the
Speaker 1: cards and not caring that they also include Jay's big presentation.
Speaker 1: Now in the hallways, Jay is freaking out. He has
Speaker 1: no time to rewrite the presentation, and to make matters worse,
Speaker 1: Ronnie aggressively joins him on the walk. He calls Jay
Speaker 1: Marshan instead of Martin and knows that they're all front
Speaker 1: runners for the Scholarship award. He also flirts with Tracy
Speaker 1: and tells her about the victory party he's throwing in
Speaker 1: his poolhouse for when he wins. In all honesty, the
Speaker 1: poolhouse party sounds pretty life changing. Rumor is he has
Speaker 1: arcade games and his own phone number and a pool table.
Speaker 1: I want to be there too. We all had a
Speaker 1: friend that had the coolest bedroom. My friend Jeff was
Speaker 1: like that y, He just had all the coolest stuff.
Speaker 1: He's the first person I ever had a waterbed. He
Speaker 1: had it was like the coolest thing ever, So I
Speaker 1: had to get a waterbed. I was like, yeah, Jeff,
Speaker 1: at all the cool stuff. Now we're in head Master
Speaker 1: Van Duson's office. He's playing the video game he confiscated again,
Speaker 1: which is still just a controller. When Ronnie enters, he
Speaker 1: calls the private schools headmaster dad, uh oh, that's right,
Speaker 1: Ronnie is Ward van Dusen's son. Ward asked if Ronnie
Speaker 1: is ready for his scholarship presentation and really hopes his
Speaker 1: speech isn't the one about how Jackie Chan would make
Speaker 1: a great president. Unfortunately it is. And this was another
Speaker 1: thing where I was like, Okay, they're obviously wealthier. They're
Speaker 1: from a family of wealth, So why is he going
Speaker 1: after the scholarship to go to this school?
Speaker 2: Right that the whole idea of him having to do
Speaker 2: this is just insane, except for it to just be
Speaker 2: that the headmaster's son, you know, is that great is able.
Speaker 1: They needed more dialogue, They needed something like because they
Speaker 1: got a little bit into the grandfather thing where it's like,
Speaker 1: your grandfather doesn't think I'm raising you, right, He thinks you're,
Speaker 1: you know, right, not not being brought up the proper way.
Speaker 1: So maybe it's something like and he said, you've got
Speaker 1: to go to this Prestigiou school and we're not allowed
Speaker 1: to pay for I mean, there's a way to do
Speaker 1: it more steak.
Speaker 2: Like you were at stake of why this kid.
Speaker 1: Kid who can't afford it, and the kid who's from
Speaker 1: massive wealth should not be going after the same scholarship
Speaker 1: unless you really explain why they're going after the same scholarship.
Speaker 1: I mean, even if it's something as simple as making
Speaker 1: even more of it where it's like, you know, Ronnie,
Speaker 1: why are you even going after the scholarship because you
Speaker 1: want it Marshan and then walking away, I mean, like
Speaker 1: something simple, but it's there's no reason that this kid
Speaker 1: needs this scholarship.
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of stuff with Shia's character that
Speaker 2: should have been beefed up in general to make the
Speaker 2: like dislike out of him even you know of yeah,
Speaker 2: well we have to get into it later. But it
Speaker 2: just was kind of like that was a missmoment and
Speaker 2: the best part, the worst part for me is knowing
Speaker 2: how well Shia would have leaned into Oh.
Speaker 1: God, because He's so good. Every line he delivers you
Speaker 1: believe it, and is just to have that presence at
Speaker 1: an actor at that age is so like I go
Speaker 1: back and watch myself occasionally at eleven or twelve, and
Speaker 1: I barely know how to stand up. So I mean,
Speaker 1: it's like I'm doing everything. But no, it's true. I
Speaker 1: mean I'm literally doing everything but looking down at the
Speaker 1: t mark to stand to see where I'm supposed to stand. Oh.
Speaker 1: So to have that kind of presence as an actor
Speaker 1: at that age is just unheard of, to be sure.
Speaker 2: I mean, if they would have given him more, he
Speaker 2: would have just it would have It could have made
Speaker 2: a difference for sure.
Speaker 1: And it again shows you how good he is because
Speaker 1: Taj is great. Taj is phenomenal. But when anybody that
Speaker 1: age is on screen with Shia, he's just playing at
Speaker 1: a different level. He's just playing at a different level.
Speaker 1: So and Taj is a phenomenal young actor. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it was It's yeah, I agree he needed to be
Speaker 1: beefed up in some way, shape or form, But then
Speaker 1: maybe he would have stolen the movie even more. Who knows.
Speaker 1: But anyway, apparently Ronnie's grandfather, the founder of the school,
Speaker 1: thinks that Ward is doing a bad job as headmaster
Speaker 1: and that he's a bad dad to Ronnie. So to
Speaker 1: prove him wrong, Ronnie must win the scholarship. That's what
Speaker 1: they said, but I still didn't buy it. He hands
Speaker 1: his son, Jay's impressive presentation about recycling a nice ode
Speaker 1: to Bagley's own interests and tells him to read the cards.
Speaker 1: Because that speech is perfect, which again is pretty sketchy.
Speaker 1: Ronnie will need to at least beat Jaya win. He
Speaker 1: leaves to take care of that Spanish rice incident as
Speaker 1: Ronnie starts on his superior speech, but he quickly turns
Speaker 1: his attention to Jay's cards.
Speaker 2: Oh well, he said, you've got twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's the stage that's already written. What's the kid
Speaker 1: gonna do? Yes? That like that.
Speaker 2: I kind of was like, oh man, this poor knat
Speaker 2: by his dad, Like, what do do you think it's
Speaker 2: gonna act like putting skittles in front of my two
Speaker 2: year old and say you cannot eat these. I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go in the other room, but don't you dare eat them?
Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever you do, don't open my giant magical closet
Speaker 1: of mystery. Yeah, exactly, so we're now in the library.
Speaker 1: J tells his friends that his mom can't afford Peterson
Speaker 1: or stark Well, but since his dad taught at the
Speaker 1: military academy, he could get in for practically nothing. But
Speaker 1: he does want to go there. The presentations in fifteen minutes,
Speaker 1: and so he tries his hardest and magically remembers everything
Speaker 1: from the cards. Maybe things aren't as bad as he thought.
Speaker 2: Can we get studying them? Yes, is what you would
Speaker 2: do if you were giving a big presentation. He's just like,
Speaker 2: of course you have your cards just in case. This
Speaker 2: kid has been doing it for probably weeks.
Speaker 1: Yes, saying it over and over to yourself in the mirror,
Speaker 1: and all that could kind of stop.
Speaker 2: Yes, twenty minutes, let me write a new one and
Speaker 2: then know what I'm talking about exactly.
Speaker 1: Then we get in our favorite and optical flip to
Speaker 1: the fifth period assembly and Ronnie van Dusen is reciting
Speaker 1: Jay's exact speech to the student body. Jay knows he's
Speaker 1: been bambooz ol it's great words, so he walks out
Speaker 1: with the assembly, over which again I would have stood
Speaker 1: up been like, hey, he's reading my speech. You've got
Speaker 1: to have all the notes from the speech you made.
Speaker 1: You've got to have all the research you did, right.
Speaker 2: Well, well no, I mean he that's why he said
Speaker 2: he had no proof. But he could have gone up
Speaker 2: and started saying everything that he was saying right like shy,
Speaker 2: shy his character. He was reading from a script still,
Speaker 2: like you could have been like, okay, take the.
Speaker 1: Card, do way and go go ahead, tell me about
Speaker 1: it script.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna read the exact same thing like I know
Speaker 2: it already.
Speaker 1: Yep, there's plenty of ways to do it. But no,
Speaker 1: and that they at least explain that where he says,
Speaker 1: I should have stood up and said something, and they
Speaker 1: didn't just blow past that, which was good. With the
Speaker 1: assembly over, he complains to Tracy about that cheating Van
Speaker 1: Duz and Meani since he didn't have any proof of theft,
Speaker 1: which again, I think if you did all the research
Speaker 1: for months for your project, you probably would have the
Speaker 1: proof that you researched everything that you did in your
Speaker 1: notes and all that good kind of stuff. But anyway,
Speaker 1: Jay did not speak up. Tracy is mad he should
Speaker 1: have said something because he's supposed to go to Peterson's
Speaker 1: Amazing Art program with her the next year. Then that weasel.
Speaker 1: Ronnie walks up to rub his victory in their faces again,
Speaker 1: not only stealing but then rubbing it in. Jay asked
Speaker 1: him how it feels to steal a speech, and Ronnie
Speaker 1: loudly denies it and tells him to have fun at
Speaker 1: the Army Academy. It's this is when I was like,
Speaker 1: he literally just stole it's got to be eighty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars from this guy because it's got what figure twenty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year for four years to go to
Speaker 1: a private academy.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I guess I don't know, but I mean.
Speaker 1: This is a massive thing. This wasn't like, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: I took something from took your girl or whatever. It's like,
Speaker 1: you just stole four years of my life and put
Speaker 1: me in military school. This is massive.
Speaker 2: Well, he calls himself a whimp later on, like he
Speaker 2: outright says he's a wimp. So otherwise, I mean, I
Speaker 2: think most kids there would at least be some shoving,
Speaker 2: some type of like you.
Speaker 1: Know, mentioned something, yes, something.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, especially he was not as small as you know.
Speaker 1: It was it.
Speaker 2: I mean, and even like money money aside, he really
Speaker 2: wanted to go and he really does not want to
Speaker 2: go and do this military.
Speaker 1: Situation, like crazy, Yeah, this was a big this is
Speaker 1: a big one. I was like, Wow, they're making Shy
Speaker 1: is evil in this movie. Yeah, so crazy. Jay asked
Speaker 1: him how it feels to steal a speech, and Ronnie
Speaker 1: loudly denies it and tells him to have fun at
Speaker 1: the Army Academy. He also reminds Tracy again about his
Speaker 1: poolhouse party, and Shia is amazing yet again. Now had
Speaker 1: Master Van Dusen is alone in the cafeteria, fidgeting with
Speaker 1: a vending machine and panicked on the phone asking about
Speaker 1: his wife's Pomeranian Camille. Jay notices him stealing a candy
Speaker 1: bar like father leg Son, and he tries to confront
Speaker 1: him about the presentation, but the Headmaster's attention is back
Speaker 1: to the dog's groomers. On the phone. He's mad that
Speaker 1: the dog's nails weren't cut correctly and he's bringing back
Speaker 1: the dog tomorrow to have it fixed. With that, he
Speaker 1: walks back to his office with Jay apologizing about the scholarship.
Speaker 1: He also reveals that the Spanish rice epidemic has spread
Speaker 1: to the Hash Browns, and that's when I was like,
Speaker 1: not the hash browns. Please not to potatoes. Ugh, don't
Speaker 1: mess with potatoes. I love them so much. Oh they're
Speaker 1: my fave. Jay points out that Ronnie stole his presentation,
Speaker 1: and Ward isn't having the accusation. Cheating is a very
Speaker 1: big deal at the school, and maybe they just had
Speaker 1: similar ideas, but the speeches were word for word the same.
Speaker 1: Ward claims he destroyed Jay's note cards, so it's impossible
Speaker 1: that his son cheated. Jay asked the headmaster to act
Speaker 1: Ronnie anyway, So the administrator pulls out a flip phone
Speaker 1: and calls Ronnie to his office. He promises he'll get
Speaker 1: to the bottom of this and tells Jay not to
Speaker 1: spread any rumors in the meantime. And I was like,
Speaker 1: ooh it big me. On his way out, Jay hears
Speaker 1: Ward in the office interrogating his son. Ronnie admits to
Speaker 1: cheating and says he did it because his dad said
Speaker 1: to win the scholarship by any means necessary. And this
Speaker 1: is where I thought, Okay, difference in a two thousand
Speaker 1: and one movie in a twenty twenty six movie. Instantly,
Speaker 1: the kid would just pull out his phone and start recording,
Speaker 1: but couldn't do that here, So it just be his word. Yes,
Speaker 1: So head Master Van Duzen explains he was supposed to
Speaker 1: use the speech as a benchmark for what to beat,
Speaker 1: not to copy it. He's furious. Ward wants his son
Speaker 1: to get rid of the cards, which are now in
Speaker 1: his locker. All the evidence must be destroyed. One more
Speaker 1: misstep and there will be consequences for Ronnie. Now on
Speaker 1: his way back to class, Jake runs into a nerdy
Speaker 1: hall monitor asking for his pass, but he doesn't have one,
Speaker 1: and right before he can be assigned attention, Ronnie appears
Speaker 1: with the hall pass he's stolen from his dad's office.
Speaker 1: He throws his arm around Jay, explaining that he would
Speaker 1: have ruined attention for him and his friends. That's the
Speaker 1: only reason he I love that. He's like, you're gonna
Speaker 1: ruin the vibe of detention, So I don't watch you
Speaker 1: my detention with me. We got it, We got it
Speaker 1: all worked out. Yeah, with that.
Speaker 2: I thought we'd get to see what the detention situation
Speaker 2: was like. He was like running some kind of mafia situation.
Speaker 1: I thought would have been funny. I think by that
Speaker 1: point they would have gotten too much in the shiest
Speaker 1: character and it wouldn't really have been Taj's movie anymore.
Speaker 2: I know, I know.
Speaker 1: So with that, it's after school and Jay is speeding
Speaker 1: down the street on his bike, being trailed by determined Ronnie.
Speaker 1: The bully catches up and kicks Jay off his bike,
Speaker 1: leaving him floored on somebody's front lawn, and with that,
Speaker 1: Ronnie pedals off. Jane notices the note cards are in
Speaker 1: his backpack. He was right, So this guy's not just
Speaker 1: but he's also now assaulting him on like for no
Speaker 1: reason on his bike. No business, No, you just destroyed
Speaker 1: this kid's life. Do you need to break his leg too?
Speaker 2: It's like, come on, bad enough. He's got this bike
Speaker 2: that he's driving around with this weird basket in front.
Speaker 2: Like this kid's like, you.
Speaker 1: Know, come on, yeah, we don't need giant basket. Come on, man.
Speaker 1: So we're now home. Jay walks in as his brother
Speaker 1: is leaving a message on the family's answering machine but
Speaker 1: doesn't pick up. Mike explains that his jeep broke down
Speaker 1: and the part isn't coming in till tomorrow, so he's
Speaker 1: stranded for the night. He instructs his little brother to
Speaker 1: call up the Zachary family next door and ask if
Speaker 1: he can stay with them for the night. Jay rolls
Speaker 1: his eyes and Mike warns, no screw ups. Jay is
Speaker 1: back with Tracy, now with a dog on her lap.
Speaker 1: For some reason. He's telling her all about the new
Speaker 1: Ronnie information and how his dad is complicit in the crime.
Speaker 1: She encourages her pal to pet her dog not a euphemism,
Speaker 1: it could relieve some stress, but he admits that dogs
Speaker 1: hate him and returns to moping. What's your problem, Sabrina,
Speaker 1: what's going on?
Speaker 2: Sabrina?
Speaker 1: What's up?
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's the time change.
Speaker 1: That okay, it's twenty twenty six, that's the problem. He
Speaker 1: tells him to do something about it. There must be
Speaker 1: a way to get some proof that Ronnie cheated, and
Speaker 1: Ronnie knows he needs those cards back. He says goodbye,
Speaker 1: trying to kiss the dog for some reason, who he
Speaker 1: didn't like before. And I thought, was he leaning in
Speaker 1: to kiss the girl? He was the dog up in
Speaker 1: front of him? Was that what was happening to me?
Speaker 2: I was like, Oh, they're dating, right. That's why it's
Speaker 2: also a kind of maybe an importance of why he
Speaker 2: wants to go to this school, because she said that
Speaker 2: they were going to go together. You're dat can't That's
Speaker 2: what But I felt like, oh, we missed some there
Speaker 2: was a there was a scene that got cut that
Speaker 2: we missed, like something that wasn't explained that they were
Speaker 2: dating or anything like that. So that's what I was like,
Speaker 2: Not the storyline starting to get all over the place.
Speaker 1: We're hopping left and right. I agree something something's.
Speaker 2: But I thought that I definitely thought the kiss was
Speaker 2: to go into her.
Speaker 1: That's what I thought too.
Speaker 2: She just put the dog up like you're.
Speaker 1: Like, right, kind of a well, let's call it a
Speaker 1: dog block kiss. So yeah, that's kind of what I
Speaker 1: thought it was. And yeah, I felt the same.
Speaker 2: I was like it put it in my notes, like
Speaker 2: you can't just like all of a sudden they're going
Speaker 2: in for a kiss because they weren't even holding hands
Speaker 2: or or you know, like the right hole.
Speaker 1: And he just said he doesn't like dogs, so he's
Speaker 1: not going to instantly go in and try to kiss
Speaker 1: the dog.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: No, so he was trying to kiss. Okay, I'm just
Speaker 1: making sure that I got that right. Yes, but the
Speaker 1: kiss of the dog doesn't work out. It in turn
Speaker 1: pushes him off a ledge and the stunt looks as
Speaker 1: natural as it sounds. Jay rides his bike over to
Speaker 1: the Vanduzen household, where he hides and watches Ward, his wife,
Speaker 1: and Ronnie rush to leave. They drive off, revealing a
Speaker 1: bumper sticker that reads, my kid is a Ronald Peterson
Speaker 1: Memorial Scholarship Winner. And man, they gave out those bumper
Speaker 1: stickers really fucking clear, so.
Speaker 2: Fast, Yeah, with the coast clear.
Speaker 1: Jay makes a b line for Ronnie's pool house, and
Speaker 1: we now have to admit the pool house is as
Speaker 1: cool as advertised. Ultimate teenage Boys Room. It has foosball,
Speaker 1: a pool table, barbershop, pole, juke box, pinball, rollerblade posters,
Speaker 1: BMX posters, It has it all, and yet all Jay
Speaker 1: has is a giant yellow bubble jacket, which she wears
Speaker 1: for most of the movie. And yet it I think
Speaker 1: it's cold because when you well, it's all sunny like,
Speaker 1: it looks like everybody could be wearing shorts. But in
Speaker 1: scenes that they shoot in Utah, the mountains right behind
Speaker 1: them are clearly covered in snow.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, but they're probably I would say it seems
Speaker 2: like they would be doing kind of what happens where
Speaker 2: they like shoot in October November, trying to say that
Speaker 2: it's like fall time right, like you know, like or
Speaker 2: which it's not.
Speaker 1: He's in a big bubble jacket.
Speaker 2: Yes, especially if he which I'm pretty sure shy is
Speaker 2: like a SoCal born and raised kid. You go to Utah, you're.
Speaker 1: Gonna feel it. It's cold, Yeah, you're gonna feel it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So now Jay is officially broken into somebody's house and
Speaker 1: he's searching the room looking for the cards, and then
Speaker 1: the earlier mentioned tiny white show dog Pomeranium named Camille
Speaker 1: appears and knows someone's in the guest house. To defend
Speaker 1: her family, she starts loudly barking at Jay, who knows
Speaker 1: this could be his downfall. He begs the pooch to stop,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't work, so instead he offers Camille some
Speaker 1: nearby gummy worms, and she's not interested. Then the housemate appears.
Speaker 1: She's very concerned in yelling out for the dog. Jay
Speaker 1: knows his time is running out, so he does what
Speaker 1: you normally do. He puts on one of Ronnie's hockey
Speaker 1: masks and walks back into the yard, and as soon
Speaker 1: as the maid spots him, she screams and runs away,
Speaker 1: and this scene played more like a scene from Fargo
Speaker 1: than a d com. All right, I mean, wasn't there
Speaker 1: something super creepy about this at this point?
Speaker 2: I when I saw the mask, I thought he was
Speaker 2: going to try to play himself off as Ronnie, Like,
Speaker 2: just put it on, pretend he was me, me too, Yeah,
Speaker 2: something like something just a little bit less, like let
Speaker 2: me walk out.
Speaker 1: Of this, as opposed to serial kill.
Speaker 2: House as a serial killer, which basically should have had
Speaker 2: a knife in his hands running towards the mate.
Speaker 1: It was so scary one hundred percent. Ronnie ditches the
Speaker 1: mask and hops back at his bike, but he also
Speaker 1: puts on his helmet because safety first. But he doesn't
Speaker 1: get far. Camille catches up and now, no matter how
Speaker 1: much he tries to ditcher, the dog follows him home,
Speaker 1: even crossing a busy street and almost getting crushed. Jay
Speaker 1: saves her and decides he'll call the family later. Until then, though,
Speaker 1: Camille just needs to chill out. But the dog won't
Speaker 1: stop bothering him. Okay, this is where I'm like, what Okay,
Speaker 1: So the dog won't stop bothering him, repeatedly trying to
Speaker 1: sit next to him on the couch watching TV with
Speaker 1: him which to add insult injuries only playing war movies.
Speaker 1: But to try to stop Camille from barking, Jay checks
Speaker 1: the fridge to see if there's anything she might want
Speaker 1: to eat. He pulls out some spaghetti. As a dog owner,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, don't just be feeding this dog all
Speaker 1: this horrible stuff. But he pulls out some spaghetti and
Speaker 1: she goes to town on it. Then he offers her
Speaker 1: some meat loaf, then some chicken, then a hot dog,
Speaker 1: all housed. This dog must be starving. She didn't leave
Speaker 1: a crumb behind. Eventually she passes out, covered in food,
Speaker 1: stuffed and whimpering. But this dog clearly loves him. She
Speaker 1: does not want to leave his side. She wants to
Speaker 1: be next to him. And I'm like, okay, so this
Speaker 1: dog is finally going to get a life and fall
Speaker 1: for this guy and not want to go back, And
Speaker 1: this is what our movie is going to be about.
Speaker 1: Keep that in mind. Tracy then rushes over to Jay's house,
Speaker 1: who explains the whole story about why Camille is now
Speaker 1: following him. She asked the questions, that's of course on
Speaker 1: all of our minds, why not just call the Van
Speaker 1: Dusans budd He wonders, how will he then explain why
Speaker 1: he was in their house, which you don't have to.
Speaker 1: You can come up with a thousand lives about why
Speaker 1: you have the dog, especially because the maid saw him
Speaker 1: in a terrifying mask. But again, how is she going
Speaker 1: to know who it is? She suggests taking the dog
Speaker 1: back to the house and just leaving her there. Great idea,
Speaker 1: and so off he goes, but when he tries to
Speaker 1: abandon her, she doesn't want to stay at the house,
Speaker 1: once again following Jay and now flinging herself into his
Speaker 1: stupid little handlebar basket, which now we know why that's there.
Speaker 1: But the dog clearly loves him and does not want
Speaker 1: to leave him, Like I love you, tajh Mowray, I
Speaker 1: love you, taj Mowray. Take me. We're now back at home.
Speaker 1: Jay and Camille are retaking their spots. In the couch.
Speaker 1: Jay is pining over the Pedison school catalog, but he
Speaker 1: knows he's stuck in the military academy, and with that
Speaker 1: he dozes off to sleep. Meanwhile, at the Van dus
Speaker 1: In household, Eliza, Ronnie's mom is panicking because she can't
Speaker 1: find Camille. Ronnie carelessly throws his scholarship plaque on the floor,
Speaker 1: and Ward is startled by the maid by the way
Speaker 1: he got his plaque at the ceremony that night, but
Speaker 1: somehow already had the bumper sticker right. So yeah, the
Speaker 1: maid is now roaming the house with a spatula, still
Speaker 1: scared of the hockey mask intruder several hours later, and
Speaker 1: then just starts to beat ed Bagley like she doesn't
Speaker 1: know the difference between the short guy and the hockey
Speaker 1: mask and her boss, who she's probably worked for for
Speaker 1: years and years and years, made no sense whatsoever. It's
Speaker 1: not even dark.
Speaker 2: Was even dark at some point, though, You feel bad
Speaker 2: for the guy because everyone just hates him, like it's
Speaker 2: like no one under he's a dick.
Speaker 1: Ye, nobody likes She's taking.
Speaker 2: Any reason to use you and beat you with the spatula.
Speaker 2: Do he hates you? Your wife doesn't seem to care
Speaker 2: aboutue either.
Speaker 1: Noing like you. Your father in law doesn't like you.
Speaker 1: The dog doesn't like you, Your students don't like you,
Speaker 1: your son doesn't.
Speaker 2: I gotta don't. I mean, I kind of understand why
Speaker 2: he's just walking around and it's a huge asshole to
Speaker 2: everyone because mean to him in his life, the people
Speaker 2: he should.
Speaker 1: Be loved by, exactly. It's like Oscar the Grouche. Why
Speaker 1: are you so mad? Maybe because everyone's to me and
Speaker 1: I live in a garbage can? Yeah, same thing, but yes,
Speaker 1: so she's panicking. She hits him with the thing. She
Speaker 1: apologizes and tells him all about the poolhouse Melee. But
Speaker 1: Ronnie hasn't noticed any issues in his room, but Eliza
Speaker 1: isn't sold. She can't find her dog anywhere. Ronnie says
Speaker 1: the dog is probably just hiding. Eliza thinks it's much
Speaker 1: more sinister and is worried because without her medication, Camille
Speaker 1: has problems. Uh oh, And that's when I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: what are they doing? So now we're back Jay, who's
Speaker 1: just waking up from a nap, and Camille is breathing
Speaker 1: down his nose and growling with these weird puppet that
Speaker 1: they're using for this dog. Now, terrified, Jay begs the
Speaker 1: dog to calm down, but as soon as he moves,
Speaker 1: the dog chases after him, ready to bite. And so
Speaker 1: the dog we're supposed to understand is like it has
Speaker 1: split personality or bipolar or something where all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: this dog that clearly loved him is now a sociopath crazy,
Speaker 1: And I was like, wait, what the hell is going on?
Speaker 1: So when Jay stumbles on a house plant, Camille lunches
Speaker 1: at him, just missing his head by inches, literally trying
Speaker 1: to kill him. Finally he finds some protection by locking
Speaker 1: himself in a bathroom, and with a little different editing,
Speaker 1: I was like, is this now a horror movie? This
Speaker 1: is now Kujo? What the hell has just happened?
Speaker 2: Okay, worse, It gets worse, but it does well.
Speaker 1: So hours later, he's still in his bathroom, sleeping in
Speaker 1: the bathtub, and Camille is absolutely clawed at the door
Speaker 1: that this dog that loved him. Eventually, the barking stops,
Speaker 1: so finally Jay feels safe. He slowly exits the bathroom
Speaker 1: and the coast is clear, but the house is thrash.
Speaker 1: He tiptoes around surveying the mass amount of damage. She
Speaker 1: even destroyed his dead dad's baseball glove, which, for some
Speaker 1: reason that hurt he had out in the living room.
Speaker 2: It might have been like something that was like on
Speaker 2: a shelf for you know, a displade of some sort
Speaker 2: that hurt that hit me.
Speaker 1: I was, yeah, that was tough. That was tough. But
Speaker 1: I was still like, why did they change the dog?
Speaker 1: The dog just loved it? Okay. Then he almost stumbles
Speaker 1: on a frozen camale. She has fallen asleep on the carpet,
Speaker 1: so Jay quietly gathered some items, making sure not to
Speaker 1: wake her. Jay decides to cover the sleeping pup with
Speaker 1: a basket, and as soon as she starts barking, he
Speaker 1: sits on it, making sure she can't escape, and then
Speaker 1: uses electrical tape to secure the basket to the carpet,
Speaker 1: a strategy that has absolutely zero percent chance of working,
Speaker 1: but it's a d com so it works for a
Speaker 1: bit of a time. And in another feudal attempt, Jay places,
Speaker 1: of course, a vase or vase depending on where you're from,
Speaker 1: filled with marbles on top, and that's not going to
Speaker 1: backfire at all. All else fails. Just put a giant
Speaker 1: vase of marbles. The next morning, Jay has reconvened with Tracy.
Speaker 1: He knows his brother's going to flip out about the house,
Speaker 1: so he kept the dog overnight taped underneath the basket.
Speaker 1: Ye is that right? Okay? I hoppy that they need?
Speaker 2: Yes, this dog at least doesn't seem like has used
Speaker 2: the restroom in hours and act only that, but.
Speaker 1: He's also the sweetest dog in the world that just
Speaker 1: want to be rescued, which is what I thought it was.
Speaker 1: Now he's the craziest dog in the world. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: they need to return the dog, but can't figure out how.
Speaker 1: Tracy suggests calling the vandusans with a mysterious voice and
Speaker 1: telling them he'll be leaving Camille in the park for pickup.
Speaker 1: So he does what all kids do. He goes and
Speaker 1: finds his voice modulator and dials them up. Ward answers,
Speaker 1: and then Jay performs what can only be seen as
Speaker 1: a hostage call for ransom. Instead of giving in. Though
Speaker 1: Ward tells the captor to keep the dog, he doesn't
Speaker 1: want it, especially because he's allergic and he knows the
Speaker 1: dog doesn't have her medication. He hangs up, and Jay
Speaker 1: knows that he is screwed, and then he realizes Camille
Speaker 1: is no longer sleeping. He can't find her, but he
Speaker 1: knows she's somewhere, has a real Jurassic Park vibe from it,
Speaker 1: hiding from the raptors. Eventually, just when he thinks he's safe,
Speaker 1: Jay's attacked by the flying Pommeranian. They wrestle, and eventually
Speaker 1: Jay once again rushes off to the bathroom and this
Speaker 1: is again, this is the scene from There's Something About
Speaker 1: Mary where I was like, this is this what do
Speaker 1: you like?
Speaker 2: Because I just honestly I thought it was so funny.
Speaker 1: I mean, this was sure.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's definitely. I will say. One of the things
Speaker 2: is by this point you are realizing this is definitely
Speaker 2: when the d coms are being catered towards a young audience.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, very this is.
Speaker 2: A young audience. And so when you kind of get
Speaker 2: in that realm of thinking, like this dog, it's a tiny,
Speaker 2: like adorable little Pomeranian who has just lost its marbles, right,
Speaker 2: and it's just correct.
Speaker 1: But then set it up like set it up where
Speaker 1: the dog hates everybody but the mom, so everybody that
Speaker 1: goes near it starts to growl. He then attaches himself
Speaker 1: to the back of time bike and follows him home.
Speaker 1: And it's been a standoff the entire time. Don't make
Speaker 1: it to where the dog's awesome with Taj, like he's
Speaker 1: want to sleep next to him. He's the nicest person
Speaker 1: in the world. God, I love this dog so much.
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden he gets crazy, because
Speaker 1: then if you start him crazy and then Taj wins
Speaker 1: him over and becomes b is one friend. It's a
Speaker 1: better arc for Taj. It's a better arc for the dog.
Speaker 1: It makes more sense. Whereas he's the sweetest dog in
Speaker 1: the world. He finally found a friend. Now he's insane,
Speaker 1: now he's friendly again. It did that didn't make any sense,
Speaker 1: And I get what you're saying. The actual and this
Speaker 1: is where Taj. You know, we keep talking about Shia,
Speaker 1: but this is where Taj is great. His physical comedy
Speaker 1: of wrestling the dog and jumping around from the dog.
Speaker 2: Great, Yes, really good and awesome.
Speaker 1: In a dcom You're right for younger people, if you're
Speaker 1: younger nine, ten, eleven years old, watching him wrestle this
Speaker 1: dog must have been hysterical, pay it off, make a bit,
Speaker 1: build it up. Maybe you know it's just from a
Speaker 1: story standpoint, Its like again, I know it's not written
Speaker 1: for fifty year old guys.
Speaker 2: But still but that but still, like you said, just
Speaker 2: in general, that's a better arc. That's a better like,
Speaker 2: a better win for Tage's character in the end of
Speaker 2: this like Psycho Dog, I mean, especially because you set
Speaker 2: it up as like a show dog. So you know
Speaker 2: when you watch cartoons with show dogs, what are they
Speaker 2: They're very prim proper. They don't want to do with anything.
Speaker 2: They are like this, like little Princess Dog if it
Speaker 2: was set that way before, and then the princess dog
Speaker 2: just like falls in love. That's a better win for
Speaker 2: the main character.
Speaker 1: This a total diva that hates everybody.
Speaker 2: And I can't lie. I was giggling. This was just
Speaker 2: like this. It's just sa is so good. I love physical,
Speaker 2: phenomenal comedy. His squeal is so good, like such a
Speaker 2: good bubessent boy, like you know, not that man voice yet,
Speaker 2: like it's the high note, like, oh, it's.
Speaker 1: So he's good. No, he's great. And the physical comedy
Speaker 1: was great. I just wanted I wanted it to be earned.
Speaker 1: But anyway, that's just me and my liking stories.
Speaker 2: And you've already stopped the movie four times by no,
Speaker 2: I think i'd made.
Speaker 1: It to this point. I think I'd made it to
Speaker 1: this point. So Jay's attacked by the flying Pomeranian. After
Speaker 1: he thinks he's safe, they wrestle, and eventually Jay once
Speaker 1: again rushes off to the bathroom, where he is trapped.
Speaker 1: Then a nightmare comes true when the dog finally cuts
Speaker 1: through the door like Jack Nicholson in The Shining Serious
Speaker 1: and again. All this if the dog had been crazy
Speaker 1: the whole time, you're escalating the craziness would be hysterical,
Speaker 1: but I was like, but he was just friends with
Speaker 1: the dog. Eventually, the dog burst into the room and
Speaker 1: slams Jay into the bathtub. Luckily, Jay uses the shower
Speaker 1: curtain to wrap the dog up and finally contain its madness.
Speaker 1: But almost immediately, Camille shoots out of the containment and
Speaker 1: bites on a Jay's leg. He like pops out and
Speaker 1: bites on it. He's screen in pain and runs off
Speaker 1: to the bathroom once again, but with the hole still
Speaker 1: in the door, Camille easily crawls through, and Jay throws
Speaker 1: himself out the window, landing in the driveway just in
Speaker 1: time to see his brother pull up a little bit early.
Speaker 1: The drill sergeant brother is already barking orders at Jay
Speaker 1: and has heard about the Peterson scholarship, but Jay is
Speaker 1: purely focused on making sure Mike doesn't enter the house yet.
Speaker 1: He blocks the front door and suggests going out to
Speaker 1: eat lunch, but Mike knows something is up When he
Speaker 1: does enter, he sees the destruction and assumes Jay through
Speaker 1: a party. He angrily chases his brother and in turn
Speaker 1: slips on those marbles, of course, throwing him to the
Speaker 1: air like one of the wet bandits from home alone,
Speaker 1: And just before he gets his hands on Jay, the
Speaker 1: kitchen cupboards starts shaking. What is that? Jay tries to
Speaker 1: convince him, hits nothing, and then at two hundred miles
Speaker 1: an hour, the dog comes flying out and attaches itself
Speaker 1: to Mike's face. And that got a genuine laugh from me. Yes,
Speaker 1: that was very funny. It was, but that's what I
Speaker 1: was like. I literally stopped and googled him, like when
Speaker 1: did this come out? I'm like, yep, this is after
Speaker 1: There's something about Mary. They watched that movie and went,
Speaker 1: what if we made this a decom. As his brother
Speaker 1: wrestles Camille off his nose, Jay hides in a closet,
Speaker 1: barely able to watch. Eventually, Mike breaks free and joins
Speaker 1: his little brother in the closet. Jay explains that the
Speaker 1: dog is Ward van Dousin's and lies, saying he was
Speaker 1: asked to babysitter. Mike pushes his little brother aside to
Speaker 1: show him how a real man does it, but he's
Speaker 1: immediately met with doggy aggression, forcing him onto a cracking
Speaker 1: living room table. Now with a half eaten shoe, Jay
Speaker 1: uses a dustbuster to ward off the dog from hell
Speaker 1: until the vacuum runs out of batteries. Out of options,
Speaker 1: the boys were cheat into the kitchen just in time
Speaker 1: for the dog to knock itself out by walking into
Speaker 1: a wall. Mike is he just walks in and boot
Speaker 1: that was it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Mike is impressed by his brother's instincts and thinks he
Speaker 1: might have the equalities of a soldier after all. Elsewhere,
Speaker 1: Ward van Dousin's in his study is still playing that
Speaker 1: video game controller, which isn't the thing. When he's interrupted
Speaker 1: by his angry father in law, the real big wig
Speaker 1: of the school. He knows Eliza is upset about the
Speaker 1: dog and tells him to do whatever he can to
Speaker 1: find her or he will be replaced as the headmaster.
Speaker 1: Back at Jay's now, the brothers are cleaning the mess,
Speaker 1: and Mike promises some military drills when they're done. He
Speaker 1: also wants to call Ward van Duson to pick up
Speaker 1: his insane dog, but Jay stops him. He'll make the
Speaker 1: call himself, but once alone with the phone, Jay uses
Speaker 1: the voice modulater again and calls Ward, who's now willing
Speaker 1: to do anything to get the dog back, including offering
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars to meet at the ice skating rink.
Speaker 1: So now Jay is apparently doing a ransom handoff. Yes,
Speaker 1: this is a full give me back my son. Gotta
Speaker 1: love it. Jay convinces his brother to drop him off
Speaker 1: at the park, leaving out the ransom part Mike demands.
Speaker 1: He asks the headmaster for money to fix the house,
Speaker 1: which is tricky, and just then Camille wakes up from
Speaker 1: the kalma in the basket and explodes with barks and fangs.
Speaker 1: And this the the like little fangy face that was
Speaker 1: clearly a puppet. Was really freaky as they're like following
Speaker 1: this crazy little puppet dog around. Yeah, I know, it
Speaker 1: was nuts. Yes, the boys jump out of the car
Speaker 1: and run for their lives. As a result, the dog
Speaker 1: runs off. Okay, movie over, that's what I thought. Shut
Speaker 1: your car down, drive away like nothing ever happened.
Speaker 2: Yeah one saw you know, one nothing? Oh, thank you
Speaker 2: very much.
Speaker 1: I am out. But instead of chasing after, Mike goes
Speaker 1: back home and leaves Jay behind to tell mister van
Speaker 1: Dusen he lost his dog. Now the askiny renk Ward
Speaker 1: is getting anxious, thinking every random guy is a dog napper,
Speaker 1: but in reality Jay has already returned home pretending he
Speaker 1: returned the dog and Van Dusen didn't give him any money. Okay,
Speaker 1: so that's what they did. They're like, let's we're just
Speaker 1: it never happened, thank you very much. Mike is furious
Speaker 1: he came home empty handed, so instead of letting his
Speaker 1: older brother call the headmaster, Jay finally has to come clean.
Speaker 1: When the truth finally comes out, Mike can't believe how
Speaker 1: far his little brother let this go. This is the
Speaker 1: type of behavior that will get him crushed at stark Well,
Speaker 1: but Jay doesn't want to go to Starkwell. He wants
Speaker 1: to study art. Mike defends being in the service and
Speaker 1: explains that this type of situation can ruin his career.
Speaker 1: This becomes a larger argument between siblings about who is
Speaker 1: actually there for each other and an overall theme of
Speaker 1: missing their dad. It's a nice scene. Jay starts crying,
Speaker 1: telling Mike he hates them, and it all ends with
Speaker 1: them calming down and trying to figure out what to
Speaker 1: do with the dog. Mike suggests just letting it be
Speaker 1: out in the wild and letting someone else adopt it.
Speaker 1: Good idea, but the guilt seems to be weighing heavy
Speaker 1: on Jay Oh Gug because now he cares about the
Speaker 1: crazy dog. Mike also calls Van Duzon to talk about
Speaker 1: the presentation, but he just denies anything sketchy happened. Mike
Speaker 1: doesn't believe him and isn't willing to drop it. The
Speaker 1: plan now is to find the dog army style and
Speaker 1: accept the reward to make up for the missed scholarship
Speaker 1: that he was going to get to Peterson. Back at school,
Speaker 1: Ronnie is trying to convince Tracy to come to the
Speaker 1: pool party. Still this Ronnie is just macking on Tracy.
Speaker 1: Just as he finally leaves his crush alone, Jays called
Speaker 1: to the headmaster's office to talk about getting his wife's
Speaker 1: dog back. So Jay obviously thinks he's about to be busted,
Speaker 1: but Vanduzen just needs the student council to help posting
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars reward signs all around town, and the
Speaker 1: head master reveals whoever shows up for the reward is
Speaker 1: just going to get arrested anyway. This terrifies Jay, who
Speaker 1: immediately calls his brother to warn him. They decide to
Speaker 1: meet back up at their house later, while Mike calls
Speaker 1: the Headmaster as the dog Knapper with a new plan
Speaker 1: to meet it in nearby bakery. No cops. Now, Okay,
Speaker 1: he's now doing this on a payphone on a public
Speaker 1: street with the giant voice modulator.
Speaker 2: The size of a megaphone.
Speaker 1: It's a megaphone, it's a literal megaphone, and there's people
Speaker 1: walking up to him, and he's like, hey, man, do
Speaker 1: you mind him in the middle of a ransom call.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the weirdest thing. And then he sends
Speaker 1: him to this bakery for no which we don't get
Speaker 1: a reason why he's just sending him all over. I
Speaker 1: think it's just because he wants to teach him a lesson,
Speaker 1: So he's just trying to embarrass him, right, because there's
Speaker 1: no reason for any of it. No, right, Okay, I
Speaker 1: thought maybe I'm missing part of No.
Speaker 2: It just seemed like it wasn't explained and it didn't
Speaker 2: really make that much sense. But what I assumed it
Speaker 2: was was him kind of giving a payback to like
Speaker 2: messing with that's what I figure too, and being a
Speaker 2: part of a situation where he's the adult and could
Speaker 2: have made he could have made it right from the book.
Speaker 1: Okay, gotcha. So at school, students are busy painstakingly making
Speaker 1: the signs by hand instead of photocopying him. This is
Speaker 1: because Jay is stalling for time. Now, why is he
Speaker 1: stalling for time? Because they haven't found the dog? Right?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: They oh, right, yes.
Speaker 1: That's why they're stalling so they can find the dog. Yes,
Speaker 1: but he's in school and Mike's making calls, not looking
Speaker 1: for the dog.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not finding Yeah, he's he's trying to get time.
Speaker 2: I guess so that the cops don't get involved, I
Speaker 2: think is what they're trying to.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: I think it's a pretty big stretch, you think, yeah,
Speaker 2: because I think we're all kind of just confused at
Speaker 2: this point. It made sense how how they were doing
Speaker 2: the posters, Like sure, they don't want they clearly don't
Speaker 2: want the posters up in case someone does find the dog.
Speaker 1: Is that why he sneaks half of them out right
Speaker 1: in front of them a foot away, puts him behind
Speaker 1: his back, which are not in any way of shape
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 2: To get it, so there wouldn't be as many posters
Speaker 2: for them to actually even hang up, because he says
Speaker 2: that at the all three hundred of them are not done.
Speaker 2: That the couple of them are going out to do
Speaker 2: some of the ones that they do have done, but
Speaker 2: that's his way to sneak in throat.
Speaker 1: Gotcha? Okay, So none of that made sense to me
Speaker 1: because I still didn't understand what they were doing. But anyway,
Speaker 1: they're stalling for time. He even helps and picks the
Speaker 1: dumbest kids to staple them all over town. Head Master
Speaker 1: Van Dusen is aimlessly circling the bakery to no avail
Speaker 1: outside with a sheet cake while singing it'sy bitsy Spider.
Speaker 1: And that's when I thought I got a bad hit
Speaker 1: a weed where I was like, am I, what's happening?
Speaker 1: Am I really seeing this? I was like? And then
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, so he's just trying to humiliate
Speaker 1: him for how he treated his brother. But they're stalling
Speaker 1: for time to find the dog, I guess, but no
Speaker 1: one's actually looking for the dog, right Scotch, Yes, okay,
Speaker 1: So Mike and Jay then to find the dog do
Speaker 1: what anybody would do. They get a bag full of
Speaker 1: whole rotisserie chickens and meat to drive around nearby streets.
Speaker 1: It is attached to the back of their car like
Speaker 1: a giant fishing line. The scent of poultry and meat
Speaker 1: brings a dozen or so dogs to the car, but
Speaker 1: no sign of Camille, And just when they're about to
Speaker 1: give up, they see her join the chicken loving pack
Speaker 1: and grab onto the bag like a fishing line. I
Speaker 1: think that's when I shut it off again. They dragged
Speaker 1: the pup through the area, eventually tossing her into a
Speaker 1: backyard trampoline, losing her once again. And this movie is insane. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Ward is still getting pressure from his father in law.
Speaker 1: The dog show is Friday, and Mike continues to waste
Speaker 1: the headmaster's time with meetups that go nowhere, which again
Speaker 1: I guess is still just them buying time to try
Speaker 1: to find the dog again. Now he's at a bowling
Speaker 1: alley where he needs to throw ten straight frames of
Speaker 1: gutter balls while wearing a woman's bathrobe and fluffy slippers,
Speaker 1: and obviously nothing comes of this, and that's when I
Speaker 1: was like, I think I shut it off again. But
Speaker 1: the brothers have found Camille in a different backyard, barking
Speaker 1: at a swimming pool. They approach her, slowly, capturing her
Speaker 1: with a pool net and landing her lovingly into Jay's arms.
Speaker 1: And now she's a perfect dog in love with Jay again?
Speaker 1: Was it? Yes? That was it? A perfect dog in
Speaker 1: love with jagb.
Speaker 2: I literally rewound thinking there was some type of when
Speaker 2: it's something that I missed because I mean, we know,
Speaker 2: I mean that, I mean I guess that's how they
Speaker 2: were able to. I don't know. It was just nothing.
Speaker 1: It just dogs. Dog's amazing again.
Speaker 2: And he tries to make a comment of oh, she
Speaker 2: just needed to run off all the energy, or she's
Speaker 2: just she never has she's always at the groomers and
Speaker 2: these kinds of explanations.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of like, and it's so easy to do.
Speaker 1: You don't have him save her in the beginning, crossing
Speaker 1: the street, they get home with her being an awful dog.
Speaker 1: She's been chasing the entire time. She's nipping at his heels,
Speaker 1: She jumps in the house, they do all the fun
Speaker 1: attack stuff, and then at the end here they find
Speaker 1: her and she's in some death defying whatever. Yes, he
Speaker 1: saves her life here and the dog falls in love
Speaker 1: with him.
Speaker 2: Yes, she's dirty, Yes, you know the obvious. She's trapped
Speaker 2: in a New York street pothole.
Speaker 1: Yes, the entire girl. They sing her out.
Speaker 2: And it makes more sense of why this dog I mean.
Speaker 1: Shows up, offers some record contract obviously.
Speaker 2: An easy fix with a dog.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you? How hard is that? My God
Speaker 1: said that? Then? Then, uh, this is what it hounded
Speaker 1: to takes place in Spain, falls in love with a
Speaker 1: guitar player.
Speaker 2: Uh, that hounded didn't turn into that.
Speaker 1: I'm ungrateful because in India, my god, it was crazy. Okay,
Speaker 1: so yeah, but no, they didn't do that.
Speaker 2: It is still getting That's where this movie went wrong,
Speaker 2: thank you.
Speaker 1: This is where they lost me. Is they easily could
Speaker 1: have sung the dog back into reality, but they did. God.
Speaker 1: Back at home, Camille is now acting totally normal. She
Speaker 1: just needed to burn off some energy by attacking everybody around.
Speaker 1: She needed to burn off energy, and apparently we find
Speaker 1: out later get laid because that's what happened.
Speaker 2: She literally, gosh, she did not even put that.
Speaker 1: Together, thank you. They even show her with her boyfriend.
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, out there doing it like snoop doggie dog
Speaker 2: out there I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: So that's what she needed. She needed to run around,
Speaker 1: attack a whole bunch of people and have sex. Yeah,
Speaker 1: am I wrong? That's what happens.
Speaker 2: I did not even think about that.
Speaker 1: Oh there you go, My gosh, there you go.
Speaker 2: She met my dog bandon there exactly whoa crazy god?
Speaker 1: So they trade off. The trade off can finally happen
Speaker 1: now that the dog is back and perfectly normal again.
Speaker 1: But Vanduzen has called the cops and they've set up
Speaker 1: a sting at the school, so it doesn't look good
Speaker 1: for the boys. The headmaster wants the dog napper behind bars.
Speaker 1: Jays called back to the office not to get busted,
Speaker 1: but Van Duson wants three hundred new posters made now
Speaker 1: with the police hotline included. Jay tries to warn his
Speaker 1: brother about the police presence, but a girl who keeps
Speaker 1: saying no way, no way, no way, is holding up
Speaker 1: the payphone. So when Mike does call Van dus and
Speaker 1: the cops are already tracing him, but he hangs up
Speaker 1: just in time to stay undetected. Jay and Mike meet
Speaker 1: back up that night, with no sign of the cops
Speaker 1: in their tail. They know they can't just return her.
Speaker 1: Now their lives are going to be ruined. Jay apologizers
Speaker 1: are getting his brother involved and he'll take all the
Speaker 1: blame if they get busted. But Mike says they're in
Speaker 1: this together and they'll get out of it together. And
Speaker 1: with that, Jay announces he has a plan. Mike dresses
Speaker 1: in disguise to distract Roddy Well. Jay sneaks through the
Speaker 1: neighbor's yard to get to the poolhouse and when Mike
Speaker 1: here's a bird call, he'll need to leave. Amongst all
Speaker 1: this planning, Mike is impressed with Jay's drawings on the
Speaker 1: map he made just in case you forgot he wanted
Speaker 1: to be an artist, jess in case, Just in case.
Speaker 1: Jay says goodbye to the now perfect docile Camille and
Speaker 1: they place her in a basket for the long awaited return.
Speaker 1: Jay starts to check through the neighborhood backyards and is
Speaker 1: quickly caught by a guard dog looking one. He busts
Speaker 1: through a fence just in time and then is able
Speaker 1: to just stick the boards back on and they end
Speaker 1: up staying.
Speaker 2: I he's like leaning against them, and.
Speaker 1: Then he leaves and the board stay up.
Speaker 2: Yes they did, they did stay to perfectly balance.
Speaker 1: You rie attach them back on the wall, so he
Speaker 1: busts through the fence, barely escaping the attack. Mike arrives
Speaker 1: at Ronnie's pool house and while pretending to be a
Speaker 1: reporter from BMX magazine, he's wasting Ronnie's time. Who is
Speaker 1: Ronnie's holding an awesome nineties discman mine it still works.
Speaker 1: Ronnie is skeptical, but falls for it when he promises
Speaker 1: a free bike if he just answers a very time
Speaker 1: consuming survey. All this is to stall while Jay runs
Speaker 1: through the house yards like Ferris Bueller. He skirts past
Speaker 1: a kid's party and a pinata, then right into Ronnie's
Speaker 1: pool house. The bully is still busy with mike survey,
Speaker 1: so Jay returns Camille to his room, then calls Van
Speaker 1: Duzen to meet at the deli in an hour, but
Speaker 1: unfortunately the cops were able to trace the call this time. Oh,
Speaker 1: it seems like part of the plan. Jay says his
Speaker 1: final go by to Camille, the dog he now loves,
Speaker 1: because why not. They've been together for a half hour
Speaker 1: an hour and everything's been great, as opposed to the
Speaker 1: three days when the dog destroyed everything. Then Bird calls
Speaker 1: to his brother to end the survey, and once Ronnie
Speaker 1: returns to his pool house, he doesn't even notice the
Speaker 1: dog is back the cops and then they show the dog.
Speaker 1: They cuts the dog eating gummy worms for the cops
Speaker 1: have figured out that the call is coming from inside
Speaker 1: the house. It's from inside the house. The call like
Speaker 1: a horror movie. Yeah, it's their address, and they deduce
Speaker 1: it's coming from the pool house. His parents, grandpa, and
Speaker 1: the cops storm his room and they find him sitting
Speaker 1: near Camille. They all assume Ronnie was behind the dog,
Speaker 1: napping the whole time, hoping to get money for his
Speaker 1: new BMX bike. We cut to a new assembly and
Speaker 1: Jay is giving a speech, this time about how the
Speaker 1: city needs to be more handicap accessible, finally giving a
Speaker 1: reason for Tracy to have been put in the wheelchair
Speaker 1: because they brought it back to where he's His girlfriend
Speaker 1: or friend is now kind of his muse, very nice,
Speaker 1: and with that Jay wins the full scholarship, which is
Speaker 1: apparently stripped from Ronnie because of his cheating. Jay's mom
Speaker 1: and friends of in the audience, and Mike is finally
Speaker 1: proud of his little brother. Ronnie's grandpa has now taken
Speaker 1: over the school and informs Jay of his duties at
Speaker 1: graduation as the student body president. Ward van Dusen has
Speaker 1: become his father and last receptionist. Eliza rives with Camille
Speaker 1: and the dog clings to Jay for a reunion. She
Speaker 1: announces that the vet has cleared Camill of any psychological issues.
Speaker 1: She was probably just stressed. Okay, so they'd been medicating
Speaker 1: this dog for years when it didn't need it. He
Speaker 1: just needed to walk. And now the dog is gonna
Speaker 1: have puppies. Yes, that's right, let's get it on, and
Speaker 1: one of them is gonna go to Jay. Ward is
Speaker 1: concerned about his dog allergy, but Eliza says, with Ronnie
Speaker 1: going off to school, he can just move into the poolhouse.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure at this point he would love to
Speaker 1: do that, right Yit Back at the Starkwell Military Academy,
Speaker 1: Mike is back commanding his troops. All of the soldiers
Speaker 1: have passed their tests, and guess who's joining them. Ronnie
Speaker 1: van Duson, the little jerk, is now being bossed around
Speaker 1: by the fake BMX magazine reporter who got him there
Speaker 1: in the first place. And that's our movie, Sabrina. Can
Speaker 1: you give us our real reviews? You got the five
Speaker 1: star this week, and I'd love to hear who gave
Speaker 1: this movie five.
Speaker 2: Stars, somebody who was at least so willing to claim it.
Speaker 1: Our friend donmag nomage back.
Speaker 2: No need to claim this five star. Just an incredible,
Speaker 2: campy movie about dog stealing. Shilah Bluff plays a hilarious
Speaker 2: evil rich kid. Taj Mauri is essentially the same character
Speaker 2: as smart Guy, but slightly dumber.
Speaker 1: Five stars, five stars. All right, I've got the one star. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't agree with the one star, but I also
Speaker 1: don't agree with the five star. But this is from
Speaker 1: movie Attic twenty sixteen. I don't want to sound like
Speaker 1: some piece hippie, but the image of a boy being
Speaker 1: bitten an attack by a small dog could result in
Speaker 1: nightmares for children and headaches for the parents. Other than
Speaker 1: that small fact, this movie is still lousy. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: recommend it either way. Bad actors, bad dialogue, bad everything.
Speaker 1: Why I don't agree with that. Some of the dialogue
Speaker 1: wasn't great. The acting was not bad in this movie,
Speaker 1: and the cast is incredible. Yes, we're now coming to
Speaker 1: Sabrina's favorite portion of our program, and that is our
Speaker 1: feature presentation. The game this week is called Mix that Dog.
Speaker 1: In the modern era of dog breeding, weirdos have decided
Speaker 1: to put together different types of dogs to create these
Speaker 1: scientific experiment mashups that probably never should have made it
Speaker 1: in the first place. So we'll be given two breeds
Speaker 1: and we have to pick from multiple choice options which
Speaker 1: name these creatures have when they're mashed together. Three out
Speaker 1: of five wins. Oh God, here we go. Number Who
Speaker 1: are we playing with this week?
Speaker 2: I'm here.
Speaker 1: Hey, it's producer tre Great Heday. Number one. We have
Speaker 1: a chow chow and I assume all these are real
Speaker 1: by the way. We have a chow chow and a
Speaker 1: Siberian Husky. Is it a a south be a cybow,
Speaker 1: see a Tiberian or d a chosky?
Speaker 2: Ooh, I'm gonna go with d Chowsky.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say ce Tiberian. Sabrina's right, it's d Wow.
Speaker 1: I would love one and one.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make notes so I can look up what
Speaker 2: these animals look like.
Speaker 1: Good idea, Yes. Number two, a German shepherd and a pug. Oh,
Speaker 1: for the love of God, I hate to see that mating.
Speaker 1: Oh God, is it a a shug be a perman
Speaker 1: jepherd see a germug or D A pou guard.
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna go as see germug.
Speaker 1: I am too, see germug.
Speaker 2: The answer is A A shug.
Speaker 1: Go for two. Okay, and you're one. You're one for two.
Speaker 1: Three A coyote and a dog.
Speaker 2: Oh it's coyote ces and right now it's everywhere around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're all around here. Is it a coyote, A
Speaker 1: B A coy dog? See a cog or D A dio.
Speaker 1: I think it's a a diote, isn't it?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I guess I'll go with you. Then
Speaker 2: A A diote? You are both wrong.
Speaker 1: The answer is be dammit, a coy dog. Terrible name.
Speaker 1: Uh so I'm all for three. I've already lost. You
Speaker 1: need to get the next two, right, Sabrina to win.
Speaker 1: Number four, A mastiff and a great Dane? Is it
Speaker 1: A A main? B A danif see a great mastiff
Speaker 1: or d A mate ganniff?
Speaker 2: I am a Maine.
Speaker 1: I'll say that too, a main. The answer is bugh,
Speaker 1: this horrible game. All right, So we both lost, but
Speaker 1: let's finish it out. Number five, A greyhound and a pointer.
Speaker 1: Is it a greyister? A Payhound, a Hounter, or a Grointer.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick d Greunter just because I like the
Speaker 1: sound of it and I know it's wrong, and I
Speaker 1: don't care de Greuter.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with a a Grayster.
Speaker 1: Sabrina's right, it's a wow. All right, So you got
Speaker 1: two out of five.
Speaker 2: I got two out of five. Damn it.
Speaker 1: That's terrible. Can we do a Sabrina ces please?
Speaker 2: Yes? Okay, So there was just some moments that really were,
Speaker 2: to be honest, these aren't the best Sabrina seas just
Speaker 2: I guess my kind of brain that's working while I'm
Speaker 2: watching it. It kind of at first wasn't very believable
Speaker 2: that Jay's brother was this, you know, bad military guy.
Speaker 2: He's yelling and doing his part when we first see him,
Speaker 2: but as soon as his I don't know, sergeant, I couldn't,
Speaker 2: I didn't the colonel General Colonel calls him over and
Speaker 2: and questions him about it. He becomes like so whiny,
Speaker 2: and that just was like, you would never be like
Speaker 2: that if you were really trained. There's just no way
Speaker 2: you'd be that whiny, like, oh well sorry, they just
Speaker 2: they don't get it. No, no, no, and I was like, whoa,
Speaker 2: and then he like gets back into character of what
Speaker 2: is thing. So that was just kind of funny. Oh okay,
Speaker 2: this secretary moment when first we find that this was
Speaker 2: another thing that I feel like they could have even
Speaker 2: beefed up more clearly they were trying. They it seemed
Speaker 2: like Ronnie probably stole the the you know Hall passes right.
Speaker 1: Right, yea, so they did.
Speaker 2: They kind of it, he's selling them, but it kind
Speaker 2: of just like breathed by it. It was like, and
Speaker 2: then brought up a little bit later, but these were
Speaker 2: this is just like a number of lists of things,
Speaker 2: like even when he got that was number one with Ronnie.
Speaker 2: But then it was like later on when he was like, oh,
Speaker 2: how did you know I lived here? And he's like, oh,
Speaker 2: you you get the magazines and he's like he didn't really,
Speaker 2: He's like, oh, I get them up the street. He
Speaker 2: should have been like you know what I mean, like
Speaker 2: diving into the fact that this kid is just like
Speaker 2: a jerk. He steals everything. He's obviously a klepto. Like
Speaker 2: there's just things about him that they just like let happen,
Speaker 2: but didn't blow it up because I think that would
Speaker 2: have made more reason towards the end of the movie
Speaker 2: for us to really be happy that Ronnie's the one
Speaker 2: that got you know, pinpointed for this, because other than that,
Speaker 2: it's kind of like, yeah, he's like a jerk little kid,
Speaker 2: but now he's in military school. Yeah right, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: So but also with the secretary part, when she got
Speaker 2: up and her headset was still on the way, she
Speaker 2: reacted like, oh, I do that.
Speaker 1: All the time.
Speaker 2: I swear that had that looked like it was an
Speaker 2: accident that she just like went with, yeah, it's the
Speaker 2: way she got it was like, oh, I do that
Speaker 2: all the time, and just like kind of kept moving.
Speaker 2: I was like, I would have loved to know if
Speaker 2: that was a blooper, that that she made work kept right, yep,
Speaker 2: that they just that she made work the basket. These
Speaker 2: kinds of things with Disney movies, I think are funny
Speaker 2: to watch as an older I don't think I would
Speaker 2: have really one hundred percent noticed his weird basket like that. Like,
Speaker 2: first of all, boys that age don't have bikes with
Speaker 2: baskets anymore. But not only then that it wasn't even
Speaker 2: like a kind of a cool like leather or like
Speaker 2: some kind of you know Indiana Jones vibe. It was
Speaker 2: like a like a backing basket.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just a basket, and so that's.
Speaker 2: The kind of stuff. I think it's funny to like
Speaker 2: clock because I probably would not have noticed that when
Speaker 2: I was younger, but like, as like a grown up,
Speaker 2: you're going no like boys, you know, kids that age,
Speaker 2: girls are no longer the white woven basket with daisies on.
Speaker 2: So it was just funny to kind of note, like,
Speaker 2: that's definitely something that is different now rewatching movies or
Speaker 2: watching them these movies at the same time, the random
Speaker 2: kiss threw me off again. I just really had a
Speaker 2: hard time because if they would have that's another thing
Speaker 2: with the writing, if they would have pulled it in
Speaker 2: at the end to like make it like now he
Speaker 2: got his real kiss, he's doing his whole presentation for
Speaker 2: her and her her situation. But no, it just was
Speaker 2: like a missed thing. The next thing was because of
Speaker 2: you and Taj and obviously they didn't know we would
Speaker 2: be rewatching this, but how funny. There's a moment where
Speaker 2: Ronnie says something call me or you know, beat me, fax.
Speaker 1: Me, blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: I would have loved that impossible, like call me, beat
Speaker 2: me if you want to reach me. Oh I don't,
Speaker 2: but could you imagine if it was that and he
Speaker 2: ends up doing christ Like a show with Christie, Like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, that would have been too much.
Speaker 1: I just like it was such much Disney.
Speaker 2: We didn't say. When we saw the cameo from our girlfriend,
Speaker 2: we did say it. It is when the poster making.
Speaker 2: For everyone that might want to watch this, it's when
Speaker 2: they're making the posters and he assigned someone to go
Speaker 2: with them. Did the boys to go with them to
Speaker 2: pass them out? The girl who questions it because those
Speaker 2: boys didn't even finish any of their posters. We've got
Speaker 2: our girl right there. She has like one line, are
Speaker 2: you kidding me? They haven't even finished their posters? And
Speaker 2: then we move on. But it's her first total, first
Speaker 2: moment on Disney. You cannot forget her gorgeous face. She's
Speaker 2: adorable in this movie. She's young, she's fun, she's bright,
Speaker 2: she's perfect for Disney. That's my last one. Oh no,
Speaker 2: it's a bitsy spider. You passed right over it, I said, so,
Speaker 2: I know. But these little moments, although they were silly,
Speaker 2: that's when we got to see him do some really funny,
Speaker 2: just comedic, like silly stuff, got him in silly positions.
Speaker 2: He's falling on the ice, he's doing the singing thing.
Speaker 2: It's wacky, it's wacky, and for some reason he's singing,
Speaker 2: went up the dlane and he's rolling his rs in
Speaker 2: the weirdest way. But to me it was like, this
Speaker 2: showed him in a wacky, fun comic thing, and like
Speaker 2: when you've got such a funny actor, you've got somebody
Speaker 2: who's just so great.
Speaker 1: Giving him a.
Speaker 2: Couple scenes like this was actually I thought, Golden, I just.
Speaker 1: Wish it was earned. But yes, he's great. He was
Speaker 1: always great. Well that's it, Thank you so much. We now,
Speaker 1: of course come to our part of our program. We
Speaker 1: have to rate the film we saw. We're doing one
Speaker 1: out of ten this week. We're giving it the most time,
Speaker 1: and we'll make five in the middle those weeks. You
Speaker 1: do so, I know, But here are our possibilities this week.
Speaker 1: One out of ten dcom Dead Dads, let's not pick
Speaker 1: that one. One out of ten unusable video game controllers,
Speaker 1: kick pool houses, President Jackie Chan's, one at a ten
Speaker 1: Spanish rice epidemics. One out of ten infected hash Browns,
Speaker 1: quickly printed bumper stickers one out of ten, backfiring jars
Speaker 1: of marbles, barks and fangs one out of ten. Bags
Speaker 1: of whole rotisserie chickens one out of ten. Ronnie Diskman's
Speaker 1: or I'm gonna add one out of ten? Nuzzling Gerbils.
Speaker 1: What would you like to pick? Sabrina? It is up
Speaker 1: to you your pick this week, and I hope you
Speaker 1: pick nuzzling gerbils, but that's just up to me. So
Speaker 1: what is your pick? Gonna be?
Speaker 2: Nuttling?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm so glad you picked nuzzling germil that it
Speaker 1: doesn't make it better. It doesn't make it better when
Speaker 1: you add the visual. I'm telling you, it doesn't make
Speaker 1: it better. O yikes.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I don't remember who rates first?
Speaker 1: Do you remember who goes first?
Speaker 2: Uh? It's my turn? Oh man? Okay, So this movie
Speaker 2: actually was an easier watch than others, I will say,
Speaker 2: and I know what I really supposed to compare them
Speaker 2: to others, but it was It wasn't a movie. I
Speaker 2: will say. There was moments where I was possibly, you know,
Speaker 2: folding laundry, doing things, watching, but I didn't have to
Speaker 2: turn it off for me again, and I really put
Speaker 2: that on how great this cast was. It made it
Speaker 2: to where for me going to you know, getting too
Speaker 2: into the particulars I was able to, especially because the
Speaker 2: cast was young. You could tell Shiah was so young,
Speaker 2: you know, Taj like you just you were. I was
Speaker 2: able to recognize him, keep my brain in the idea
Speaker 2: of like this was early or Disney, which means this
Speaker 2: d com was geared towards a fourth to sixth grader, right,
Speaker 2: like a younger a younger demo than what I think
Speaker 2: the d coms are now. And so I it didn't
Speaker 2: sit high as well we've been seeing, but it certainly
Speaker 2: wasn't as low as we've gone. I mean, when I
Speaker 2: think of the last time with Taj we saw push
Speaker 2: point point. This was for me a lot better than that.
Speaker 2: So I gave this one a six point five nuzzle Langer.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's all right. You know I'm not too far
Speaker 1: away from you, Okay. The only reason I'm not too
Speaker 1: far away from you is because of the cast. Yes,
Speaker 1: the cast is great. The story, a lot of it
Speaker 1: made absolutely no sense to me. The dog being nice
Speaker 1: and then being mean and then being nice again, and
Speaker 1: it turns out it just needed to run around and
Speaker 1: have sex. Was weird. A lot of the story just
Speaker 1: didn't make sense. But again Taj and then Shia and
Speaker 1: then you throw in Ed Bagley Junior. I mean that's
Speaker 1: gonna save it to me. So I'm giving this one.
Speaker 1: I will give it because of the cast and the
Speaker 1: cast alone, I'm gonna give it six. Okay, Gerbils. Any
Speaker 1: other cast this would have been a two or three
Speaker 1: to me where because the story was just really weird.
Speaker 1: But the cast saved it because they're great. So yeah,
Speaker 1: very excited. But let's see what our next movie is
Speaker 1: gonna do. Our next movie is a cult classic and
Speaker 1: just in time for her return to music and the
Speaker 1: opening in a mom friend group. Hmmm. We've got Hillary
Speaker 1: duff In, Cadet Kelly. It also stars my good friend
Speaker 1: Christy Carlson Romano, So this is going to be a
Speaker 1: fun one. It is streaming right now in Disney Plus,
Speaker 1: so if you're the type who does their homework a
Speaker 1: week before it's due, then get on it. But before that, guys, oh,
Speaker 1: we have a really special Park Copper episode for you.
Speaker 1: We interviewed our first ever actor who sat in the
Speaker 1: Dabney Reynolds chair. Yes, we classed this place up with
Speaker 1: actor and activist six time Emmy nominee, the legendary Ed
Speaker 1: Bagley Junior. I swear to god, this is real, and
Speaker 1: with all the history on his resume, we somehow decided
Speaker 1: to talk to him about how did So let's get
Speaker 1: a little preview of what to expect.
Speaker 3: Being in Salt Lake with fun. I've been there before
Speaker 3: and I loved working on the movie. And the script
Speaker 3: was charming and funny and it's quirky, and we enjoyed it,
Speaker 3: you know, we enjoyed every minute of it. And I
Speaker 3: had my daughter with me by at that point, very
Speaker 3: young daughters, he's about two or something. So ever in
Speaker 3: a little peak park of walking around around Salt Lake,
Speaker 3: and the snow was great. We don't get ato snow
