WEBVTT - Full-Court Miracle

0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, this week was certainly a departure from the normal

0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:18.959
<v Speaker 1>films that we watch.

0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:23.600
<v Speaker 2>You're telling me, you are telling me, this was another

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 2>week of like I guess, unexpected things to be on

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 2>the channel. Yeah, which I'm actually digging it, Like, I'm

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:39.239
<v Speaker 2>like loving the changes that we're seeing a part of

0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:41.879
<v Speaker 2>Disney that I had no idea until we started doing this,

0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Like yeah, there's.

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 1>These little these little kind of offshoots where it's like, wait,

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:48.760
<v Speaker 1>what is this one? What is this one? What is

0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 1>the way she's a gas bubble? Like, it's all these

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of you never know what's going to happen.

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 2>That one I probably could have done without. But that's

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:56.200
<v Speaker 2>all right.

0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>I agree. Well, let's find out if this week we

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>could do with or without our movie. So, first of all,

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 1>welcome back to Magical Rewind, the show that makes you

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>want to grab your friends, your pjs, and your popcorn

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:08.080
<v Speaker 1>and go back to a time when all the houses

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:11.119
<v Speaker 1>were smart, the waves, tsunamis and the high School's musical.

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm Wilford Dell and I'm Sabrina Brian Hilloam everyone, it's

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>time to throw an alley up to God as we

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 1>recap a wild honka sports movie. Yes, you heard that right,

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 1>a wild Honka sports movie. It is the two thousand

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>and three d COM Full Court Miracle. It debuted on

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 1>November twenty first, two thousand and three, just in time

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 1>for a Honka season. And yes, again, this is a

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 1>Jewish sports movie. Not the largest of subsets of films

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.399
<v Speaker 1>in this genre, one that does immediately come to mind

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>as school ties. But let's be honest, there aren't a

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of Honka movies either. Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:47.760
<v Speaker 1>is probably the most popular the few. But let's put

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Full Court Miracle very high on that list now, because

0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 1>it is a very short list. It was filmed in Toronto,

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>our DCOM destination to the North Nose Prize there, Sarna.

0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Are you a basketball fan?

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 2>I am. I think, uh, football comes first, but I

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 2>do like basketball. I do like basketball movies.

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.639
<v Speaker 1>I okay finding out I do. What's your favorite basketball

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>movie of all time?

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Obviously Double Team?

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:11.640
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Actually my favorite? No, I'm thinking I don't think I

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 2>have a good oh A love in basketball?

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Evan. Now have you have you ever seen Hoosiers?

0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:26.639
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Is it good?

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Gene Hackman?

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, phenomen like the quintessential basketball movie small Town and

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.239
<v Speaker 1>yeah it's I mean, I think it won several Academy Awards,

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:41.040
<v Speaker 1>like it's wow. Yeah it's check out Hoosiers.

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 2>I gotta, I gotta check it out.

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Now, this movie might not be Hoosier's, but let's see

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>what we got, uh Gene Hackman, by the way, spoiler alert,

0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.520
<v Speaker 1>not in Full Court Miracle, just that I'm sure they

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 1>tried to get him. But busy, this, busy, busy man,

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.880
<v Speaker 1>busy this week. Now, we commonly point out when a

0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.239
<v Speaker 1>film is a critical success, but sometimes we have to

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 1>point out when it's exactly the opposite, which of course

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.639
<v Speaker 1>is the case with Full Court Miracle. Laura Fries may

0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:08.240
<v Speaker 1>have a delicious name, but her feelings on this movie

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.639
<v Speaker 1>were not as golden, thank you very much. She wrote

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 1>in Variety. The director missed a prime opportunity to present

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>a poignant and entertaining multicultural alternative to the usual holiday viewing,

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and was inconsistent between comedy and meaningful drama and not

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>even Jewish publications like this movie. Joe Esconazi of Jay

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Weekly found the adult characters to be one dimensional, and

0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>though he praised the young actors, he called this film

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:35.240
<v Speaker 1>cheesy boy yeah. On the bright side. However, this film

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 1>is inspired by the true story of University of Virginia

0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>basketball player Lamont Carr and his postseason experience with coaching

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 1>here at Magical rewind. Of course, we love a true story,

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 1>so it can't be that bad, can it. Well, let's

0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>find out. It was also nominated for two very impressive awards.

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 1>First up, of course, it was the Humanities Prize, a

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.440
<v Speaker 1>distinction we all know about because of the Color of Friendship,

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 1>a DCM that did actually win the award. It was

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.240
<v Speaker 1>also nominated for Best Children in script at that year's

0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Writers Guild of America Awards. So come on, critics, let's

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 1>calm down the haters here people, And in case you

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 1>were wondering, you can catch Full Court Miracle right now

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 1>in Disney Plus. But it's up to you when your

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>press play. You can watch right now before we get

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 1>our own analysis, or listen after we wax poetic. Similarly,

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.280
<v Speaker 1>you can eat ice cream for breakfast. You have free will.

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.839
<v Speaker 1>It's time to exercise it. Become your own person. We well, me,

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I believe in you, Sabrina. It does not, so I

0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 1>feel like we can predict this answer before we even

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:32.920
<v Speaker 1>ask each other. But did you know about Full Court

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Miracle before the podcast sent us the spereau of knowledge?

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 2>And I would like to say that feels an I

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:44.680
<v Speaker 2>again to me, it's right in that timeline. It certainly looked.

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 2>I felt like the beginning looks so much like Cheetah

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Girls in New York.

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 1>Two thousand and three is when Chetah Girls came out,

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>isn't it right?

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.279
<v Speaker 2>So it is strange that I didn't know, But I

0:04:54.320 --> 0:05:00.120
<v Speaker 2>guess also not strange because especially at that time, like basketball, well,

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if that would have been really like

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 2>something that I would have tuned into if I did

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.000
<v Speaker 2>see like a promo for it.

0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:09.000
<v Speaker 1>So but this is Disney again, that the Disney we

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.679
<v Speaker 1>know in love, especially at that time, kind of doing

0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 1>more niche movies like Color of Friendship kind of niche,

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>and yes, this movie kind of niche, taking a small

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of subject and let's do a film about it,

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:20.920
<v Speaker 1>which is what they're great at.

0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes, And I think it also kind of represents them

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 2>really searching for where their d coms like the where

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 2>to hit that perfect spot, you know, but at the

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 2>same time very very different idea and opening a new

0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 2>world to the viewers as well. Possibly you know more

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.840
<v Speaker 2>and more more detail of a world they might not

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:44.280
<v Speaker 2>know about.

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, sharing culture with kids all around the world, which

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.680
<v Speaker 1>is what Disney really does, which is great. Yes, are

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 1>you gonna ask me?

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 2>I I guess I'll ask you, but I mean we.

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:57.280
<v Speaker 1>All know might be surprised. No, I'm not going to

0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:00.880
<v Speaker 1>view you might do anything. I did not know anything

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.840
<v Speaker 1>about this movie, so no, you were You're right to

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:05.840
<v Speaker 1>not be surprised, and I wouldn't trust me from this

0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:11.479
<v Speaker 1>moment on frankly, but it is. It is. By the way,

0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:13.160
<v Speaker 1>just a fun little side note. I was at a

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:16.200
<v Speaker 1>convention this weekend and so many people now are talking

0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.039
<v Speaker 1>about Magical Rewine, and a woman came up to me

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:20.839
<v Speaker 1>and said, Hey, I've got an idea for you guys.

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.920
<v Speaker 1>And I said what she said, in the future, when

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.480
<v Speaker 1>you're rating the movies, one should be the lowest and

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 1>ten should be the highest. And I was like, oh,

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>great idea.

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, exactly what they're talking about.

0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Because that was that's a good idea, and we're going

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 1>to use it, but not right now, because right now

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>we're going to strike up the generator. We're keeping the

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:44.480
<v Speaker 1>lights on for the synopsis. Alex A Young Jewish basketball

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:47.080
<v Speaker 1>star convinces it down on his luck former college star

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:50.200
<v Speaker 1>to coach his struggling team. Their journey mirrors the Hanika

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:54.160
<v Speaker 1>story as they discover perseverance, faith, and unexpected miracles both

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:57.160
<v Speaker 1>on and off the court. This movie is directed by

<v Speaker 1>and two D coms Twitches and twenty twelves Girl Versus Monster.

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 1>Don't know what that is, but let's get that on

<v Speaker 1>based on Carr's real life player Alex Barbag. I'm not

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>going to touch that name, so it sounds a little

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 1>like barf Bag, but we're not going to get into that.

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.400

0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:31.480

<v Speaker 1>still working today and is best known for her movies

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Chloe and if you could See What, which is kind

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:33.280
<v Speaker 1>of a confusing title. Yeah, then you got Sheila McCarthy

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:35.320
<v Speaker 1>who plays the Cold Missus Kleine. She was in the

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 1>Lindsay Lohan movie Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 1>two other dcoms, cow Bells and Zombies three as the

0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:45.160
<v Speaker 1>hologram Alien Scout. We haven't seen Zombies three yet. Oh wait,

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.439
<v Speaker 1>Zombi's three. Yes, so Zombies three. See now I'm getting

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.320
<v Speaker 1>all confused that it was the Sendence three. So she's

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.680
<v Speaker 1>the Alien Scout, got it. She's also and this is

0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:55.439
<v Speaker 1>what I know her from, in Diehard two playing Big Ben.

0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 1>One of Alex's teammates is Sean Marquette, known to our

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 1>listeners as Johnny Atkins on The Golder and It's Been

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 1>all the time on Podmets World anytime an actor does this.

0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:24.800
<v Speaker 1>She was also on Seinfeld but no matter who appears

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 1>in the film. We all know the most important part

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.360
<v Speaker 1>of any movie reviewed on Magical Rewind the run time

0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes and full court Miracle comes in at I just

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 1>I feel I need someone to hold me. I know,

0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:44.360
<v Speaker 1>I say, amazing, ninety minutes, ninety minutes.

0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:48.040
<v Speaker 2>Minutes, hitting it on the mark, ding ding ding ding.

0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Ding ring, the alarm, set off the fireworks, scream for

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.800
<v Speaker 1>the mountaintops. We hit the target. Everybody close up shop,

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>We can go home. Thank you so much for listening

0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 1>to Magical Rewind. We will not be back next week

0:09:58.480 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>or any week.

0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 2>After because we've hit.

0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Timing perfection, but congrats to all involved. We will of

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 1>course be back next week because there'll be some other

0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:10.680
<v Speaker 1>movie that'll be ninety three minutes that we have to

0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.440
<v Speaker 1>bitch about. This movie was written by a team. We

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.160
<v Speaker 1>have Joel Silverman, writer of movies like Nailed Death to

0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Supermodels and Surf School. I don't know several of those titles,

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:22.520
<v Speaker 1>but by god, I want to see them all. And

0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 1>then we have Joel Kaufman and Donald Yost, a legendary

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:26.840
<v Speaker 1>writing team here on the podcast because they wrote a

0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 1>possible Best dcom winner, Miracle in Lane two. So Obviously,

0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 1>anything they write has to have the word miracle.

0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 2>In the Oh, that's a good point, it's true.

0:10:38.600 --> 0:10:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I wait till you see their third installment, which is

0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:47.320
<v Speaker 1>just called Miracle of Miracles, The Miracle Story of Miracles.

0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:53.880
<v Speaker 1>All right, it's Lions versus Warriors at East Hebrew Academy,

0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>the most important game in the history of humanity. But

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 1>first let's get into full court miracle. Now, we may

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.079
<v Speaker 1>have shot the movie in Toronto, but we get some

0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:03.960
<v Speaker 1>busy streets of Philadelphia establishing shots to start the movie.

0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:07.760
<v Speaker 1>As my illustrious host pointed out, it looks exactly like

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the start of Cheetah Girls. It really does. It's kind

0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>of that moving camera, the skylines a little bit fuzzy.

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.960
<v Speaker 1>It is so early aughts it's not even funny.

0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 2>It's definitely a movie. Monroe did not watch this with me,

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.640
<v Speaker 2>but if she watches she'd be go, oh, mommy, this

0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:23.560
<v Speaker 2>movie is old.

0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Exactly does it looks like old home video? It shot

0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:30.640
<v Speaker 1>in one of those giant camcorders. Yep. This is where

0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 1>we meet a young Alex Schlatsky who's wearing a yamaka

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.960
<v Speaker 1>and dribbling on the sidewalk. He's with his friend Julie,

0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.440
<v Speaker 1>who reminds him his basketball team is so bad that

0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.920
<v Speaker 1>even Alan Irison couldn't help them win a game. We

0:11:40.960 --> 0:11:43.560
<v Speaker 1>find out they've lost nineteen in a row, but Alex

0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:45.680
<v Speaker 1>thinks today is the day they could turn it around

0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 1>against the undefeated Warriors and their star player, Tyler Oo. Tyler,

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.240
<v Speaker 1>Julie says Austin Luego and Alex as Shlom in the

0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 1>most eighty yard conversation we maybe have ever seen in

0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.400
<v Speaker 1>the history of our d coms. It's bad they obviously

0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 1>just recorded everything in a booth. It was too loud. Eventually,

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Alex makes it to his school, Hebrew Learning Academy, to

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.240
<v Speaker 1>meet up with his teammates. We learn Alex is the

0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:08.680
<v Speaker 1>only good player on the team, and they'd at least

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.600
<v Speaker 1>win a game if they could just clone him for

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.840
<v Speaker 1>all five positions. We also meet our let's call her

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:17.200
<v Speaker 1>semi villain in missus Klein, a stern teacher who busts

0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Alex for dribbling in the hallways. In all fairness, you're

0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:21.200
<v Speaker 1>not allowed to dribble the ball in the hallways in

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 1>any school. Everyone knows that. Now we're in a religious

0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.240
<v Speaker 1>studies class taught by Rabbi Lewis. Alex and his friends

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:30.560
<v Speaker 1>are learning about Judah and the Maccabees and their treacherous

0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 1>battle in Israel, a story that helps explain Hanukkah mid lecture.

0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Alex starts to daydream, placing himself on a very dusty

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.559
<v Speaker 1>basketball court and what we can assume is Israel in

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.880
<v Speaker 1>one sixty five BC. Alex, now dressed perfectly for the

0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.160
<v Speaker 1>time period, is dramatically backed up by the rest of

0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:50.160
<v Speaker 1>his ragtag team. They're representing Antioch, they are representing Antioch's army,

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:53.440
<v Speaker 1>and he's the great leader sent to save Israel. Surrounded

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:56.040
<v Speaker 1>by cheering locals, Alex steps up to play against Tyler

0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.559
<v Speaker 1>and the Warriors, now all dressed like intimidated soldiers. I

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.319
<v Speaker 1>think they were trying to be Roman. I'm guess it

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 1>looked to me. Yeah, and yes, this is as that

0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.800
<v Speaker 1>crazy a scene as it sounds like it is. It

0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 1>was like, wait, huh no.

0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.199
<v Speaker 2>I swear. I was like, on, is this how this

0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:14.719
<v Speaker 2>movie is gonna go? I'm here. I mean.

0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.840
<v Speaker 1>To just lean into any religion, doesn't matter what religion

0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:21.960
<v Speaker 1>it is, but to really really really lean into it

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.440
<v Speaker 1>like this. I was like, oh wow, Oh they're they're

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 1>going for it. Yeah, yeah, so yeah. Alex chucks the

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:30.040
<v Speaker 1>ball into the air and we're thrown back into the present.

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.880
<v Speaker 1>It's game day against the Warriors and the Hebrew Learning

0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:35.800
<v Speaker 1>Academy Lions are down by more than twenty points. The

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.319
<v Speaker 1>players on the bench aren't even paying attention. They're doing homework.

0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:41.679
<v Speaker 1>Even their coach, mister Simowitz, is grading papers. Julie and

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Alex's dad are in the stands watching the massacre, where

0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Alex is becoming a bit of a ballhog. Another Lions player, TJ,

0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:50.560
<v Speaker 1>trips a player and is thrown out of the game.

0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 1>As they conquer the Lions, Tyler turns to Alex and

0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.200
<v Speaker 1>warns him if he thinks this is bad, wait until

0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:59.280
<v Speaker 1>they play against each other in the upcoming tournament. Oh

0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:02.680
<v Speaker 1>setting up some tournament stuff. Then the next day at school,

0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Alex and his pals are talking about upcoming Hanukkah gifts,

0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.920
<v Speaker 1>but one of the boys, lovingly names Stick says the

0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.000
<v Speaker 1>focus of the holiday shouldn't be on gifts. It should

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:11.599
<v Speaker 1>be on the miracle of light and the victory of

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:13.880
<v Speaker 1>the Maccabees. But the guys don't fully believe in those

0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.120
<v Speaker 1>miracles and call the whole thing a fairy tale. One

0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:19.160
<v Speaker 1>day's worth of candle oil magically lasts for eight days.

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Come on, Okay, you live in Orange County. Yes, Orange

0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:27.120
<v Speaker 1>County not necessarily known as having a huge Jewish community,

0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Am I right?

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Correct?

0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Now? Have you ever celebrated Hanukkah? No? Never? I know

0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 1>what about?

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:40.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know. No, I don't even know much about.

0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, obviously I know the eight days and the

0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 2>lighting of the candles, but I don't even really know

0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:53.040
<v Speaker 2>like the full Hanukkah story, right, So, and I because

0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:55.680
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even know like it. There. It's not that

0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:58.960
<v Speaker 2>there aren't Jewish people in Orange County or that I

0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.600
<v Speaker 2>didn't necessarily grow up around them. I just didn't happen

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 2>to have anyone that was like to the point where

0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.120
<v Speaker 2>they'd ever like invite me over, you know what I mean,

0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:10.040
<v Speaker 2>to where I'd have an opportunity to really learn much

0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:10.600
<v Speaker 2>about it.

0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Gotcha? Yeah? Every year. So my dad's best friends growing

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 1>up were Jewish. So every year we'd go to pass

0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Over dinner and they'd come to us for Christmas Eve. Ohkay,

0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.400
<v Speaker 1>we learn all about the Jewish customs and they come

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.520
<v Speaker 1>help us decorate our tree. So yeah, I was reading

0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:26.440
<v Speaker 1>the questions and searching for the Maza and doing all

0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:28.840
<v Speaker 1>that kind of stuff. So yes, I was familiar with this,

0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.320
<v Speaker 1>but not, I mean not obviously the whole backstory of

0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.280
<v Speaker 1>the Maccabees and all that kind of stuff. They really,

0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 1>again for Disney, really leaned into.

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.440
<v Speaker 2>It, I feel like, I mean, as we got more

0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.480
<v Speaker 2>so at first, I feel like it kind of hits

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:44.760
<v Speaker 2>you right from the beginning, but then it really for me,

0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:46.840
<v Speaker 2>seemed like it kind of became a lot more about

0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:50.880
<v Speaker 2>the culture of the Jewish community as much more than

0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:54.480
<v Speaker 2>like the religion religion aspect. It didn't feel at first

0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:56.960
<v Speaker 2>I went, oh, they're really doing a religious movie, but

0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.640
<v Speaker 2>then it didn't feel like it was super religious as

0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 2>we end ended up going on through.

0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.240
<v Speaker 1>The yeah, it wasn't. I didn't they They didn't continue

0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:05.800
<v Speaker 1>to use the kind of flashback thing. I think they

0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:07.560
<v Speaker 1>do it one more time towards the end, but it's

0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:09.560
<v Speaker 1>not it's not a go to in the film. I

0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 1>thought they were going to keep cutting to that kind

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:15.120
<v Speaker 1>of thing. But I mean, they do talk about religion

0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.040
<v Speaker 1>quite a bit in this movie. I mean it is

0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:20.160
<v Speaker 1>it's another character in this film, which again big swing

0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:21.920
<v Speaker 1>for Disney to.

0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Right into religion. But they as Disney does things like

0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:30.320
<v Speaker 2>this very well. It had a nice softness to it

0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:32.800
<v Speaker 2>too that it wasn't like jarring to where like if

0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:35.800
<v Speaker 2>you weren't interested in that like that, you'd get annoyed

0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:37.360
<v Speaker 2>and just turn it off. It was like it became

0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:42.920
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more of just like an inspirational situation culture. Yeah,

0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:46.560
<v Speaker 2>well yes, versus it being very religious like you know

0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:50.000
<v Speaker 2>what I mean. It didn't hit too sharp to where

0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 2>if that were to be something that would trigger or

0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, kind of rub you the wrong way you

0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.680
<v Speaker 2>were you were out of the movie. It didn't to me.

0:16:57.760 --> 0:16:58.480
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't that way.

0:16:58.520 --> 0:17:01.200
<v Speaker 1>No, it was, but again it was it's what Disney

0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 1>does well, is hey, here's a culture you may not

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:04.800
<v Speaker 1>be familiar with. We're going to do a movie about

0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.240
<v Speaker 1>it in a way you're you know, kids are going

0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 1>to relate to. And it's gonna be about It's a

0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:12.400
<v Speaker 1>basketball movie, yes, set in the Jewish community. That's I mean.

0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:14.000
<v Speaker 1>So it's yeah, so very Disney.

0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:20.520
<v Speaker 2>I did have a question though, would is that to

0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:24.359
<v Speaker 2>where like they're yamakas wearing them while playing?

0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think they would. I think they always wear

0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:27.760
<v Speaker 1>them indoors.

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:28.399
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 1>I think I think I don't.

0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.440
<v Speaker 2>Have speaking out of turn, but I guess it's it's

0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:36.320
<v Speaker 2>not it's not adhering. I mean, you know, because some sports,

0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, having like things that would maybe possibly be

0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.679
<v Speaker 2>I guess unsafe. I don't know, but I'm like, what

0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:44.480
<v Speaker 2>if what if the yamaka fell on the ground.

0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think they're pinned on. I think they're always.

0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:48.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it's I think that's part of it. Yeah. Again,

0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know nearly enough about the Jewish culture too

0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:53.960
<v Speaker 1>to speak on that, but I'm pretty sure they always

0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.679
<v Speaker 1>wear it indoors okay. The boys do give Alex some

0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:58.880
<v Speaker 1>grief about not passing the ball, but he blames them

0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:01.359
<v Speaker 1>for being too smart. To the athletes, he wants to

0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.879
<v Speaker 1>finally win this Liberty Tournament, especially because it will be

0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:07.119
<v Speaker 1>in their home gym. His teammates laugh and he His

0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:10.680
<v Speaker 1>teammates laugh, and Alex angrily storms off. Back at home,

0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:12.719
<v Speaker 1>Alex complains to his parents that his friends don't care

0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.440
<v Speaker 1>about basketball. His mom, explaining how impossible it is to

0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:17.520
<v Speaker 1>make it to the NBA, tries to shift his dreams

0:18:17.520 --> 0:18:20.520
<v Speaker 1>to medicine or becoming a lawyer, which Honestly, it's pretty

0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:22.600
<v Speaker 1>good advice. But at the same time, you still don't

0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:25.160
<v Speaker 1>try to kill your kid's dream. We'll get into her later. Yes,

0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:28.520
<v Speaker 1>then her pager goes off. She's been called to the hospital. God,

0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:30.679
<v Speaker 1>I miss pager, Sabrina, Are you too young? I've had

0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:30.920
<v Speaker 1>a page.

0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:34.240
<v Speaker 2>I had your pager. Oh. I had a pager. Oh,

0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:37.520
<v Speaker 2>and I I loved learning all the being able to

0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:39.879
<v Speaker 2>write out. I miss you if you flipped it over

0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:43.440
<v Speaker 2>or you know, all those different things that you won

0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:44.160
<v Speaker 2>four to three.

0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:48.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh, God, the coche you would do. I had a pager.

0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:50.840
<v Speaker 1>What I did not have was friends. So the page

0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I got most was low battery, low battery.

0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:53.920
<v Speaker 2>And Mom.

0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:55.880
<v Speaker 1>I got that quite No, I don't think my mom

0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:57.359
<v Speaker 1>even paid me. She's like, I'll call him. I'm not

0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:59.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna bet my mom wouldn't have known how to page

0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:02.040
<v Speaker 1>me come up. The next day at school, Rabbi Lewis

0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:04.040
<v Speaker 1>is in his office when he crumples up some paperwork

0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:07.080
<v Speaker 1>and slam dunks it into a nearby lampshade. Alex walks

0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:09.600
<v Speaker 1>in just in time for the post basket celebration. He

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:11.879
<v Speaker 1>asks the teacher more about Judah Maccabee and how he

0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:14.800
<v Speaker 1>led his outmatch team to victory. He knows they need

0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:17.879
<v Speaker 1>a Judah maccabee and the current coach just isn't cutting it.

0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:21.040
<v Speaker 1>The Rabbi suggests Alex talk to his mom, since she's

0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the head of the board of directors, but Alex knows

0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:26.160
<v Speaker 1>that won't go anywhere, so the Rabbi says he will

0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:29.159
<v Speaker 1>get a new coach, but only when Judah Maccabee allows

0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:32.240
<v Speaker 1>it to happen, which makes very little sense to the kid,

0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:37.040
<v Speaker 1>or let's be honest, the viewer, thanks, dude. Yeah. That afternoon,

0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Alex and Julie are playing one on one while Stick studies,

0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:42.400
<v Speaker 1>and they're all trying to figure out what Rabbi Lewis meant.

0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:44.360
<v Speaker 1>They assume it means a new coach will come when

0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:46.840
<v Speaker 1>the time is right, but Alex argues they need that

0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:49.480
<v Speaker 1>time to be now, and that's when he spots another

0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.440
<v Speaker 1>guy practicing nearby. It's a tall adult making every shot

0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:56.240
<v Speaker 1>and eventually slam dunking. Alex runs off to rebound for him.

0:19:56.600 --> 0:19:59.800
<v Speaker 1>The man continues to sink everything but ignores Alex's question.

0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Alex challenges him to a shootout. If the mystery man wins,

0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.240
<v Speaker 1>he'll leave him alone, but if Alex wins he'll reveal

0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:07.520
<v Speaker 1>his name, but instead the guy just threatens to stuff

0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Alex into the hoop, then grabs his ball and leaves

0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:12.280
<v Speaker 1>in a very sketchy van. But as he leaves, Alex

0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:14.840
<v Speaker 1>takes note of the license plate and so back in

0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:16.920
<v Speaker 1>his room, Alex is now teaching Stick how to stalk

0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:19.360
<v Speaker 1>somebody on the Internet and learns it was a special

0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.600
<v Speaker 1>University of Virginia booster plate on the back of a van,

0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:26.040
<v Speaker 1>and so that leads him to checking the school's basketball alumni,

0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:30.840
<v Speaker 1>eventually finding him former star point guard Lamar the Hammer Car.

0:20:31.359 --> 0:20:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Stick thinks this man might just be their Judah maccabee,

0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:37.080
<v Speaker 1>especially since they share a nickname and his license plate

0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:40.800
<v Speaker 1>is j M one's sixty five Judah Maccabee's initials and

0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:43.480
<v Speaker 1>one sixty five for the year the Maccabee's drove out

0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:46.600
<v Speaker 1>the Invaders, and even though Alex isn't buying the jam connection,

0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:50.200
<v Speaker 1>he does think this could be their angel. After school,

0:20:50.240 --> 0:20:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Alex has convinced his friends to come and see the

0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:54.639
<v Speaker 1>ghost of Judah Maccabee, even drawing the passing attention to

0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:57.399
<v Speaker 1>missus Klein, who stands below a sign that reads Sugar

0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:00.920
<v Speaker 1>and Video Games hazardous to your brain. And now back

0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:02.959
<v Speaker 1>at the park, the boys watch Lamar practice and are

0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:06.320
<v Speaker 1>blown away, but can't imagine the reincarnation of Judah Macabee

0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:09.000
<v Speaker 1>being a six foot five black guy. Alex points out

0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:10.840
<v Speaker 1>this man just showed up at their park exactly at

0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:13.040
<v Speaker 1>the same time they need a coach, so it must

0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:17.560
<v Speaker 1>mean something. Alex approaches the possible coach candidate again and

0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the results aren't much better the second time, but this

0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:22.879
<v Speaker 1>time Lamar notices just how bad the Lions are watching

0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:25.359
<v Speaker 1>them practice from airball to air ball, but he's watching

0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:27.800
<v Speaker 1>them from afar. Alex cuts right to the chase and

0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:29.840
<v Speaker 1>asks Lamar for help. The man laughs it off he

0:21:29.840 --> 0:21:32.080
<v Speaker 1>doesn't have the time, but Alex assures him he does.

0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:33.959
<v Speaker 1>On the internet, it says he played for the CBA

0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:36.639
<v Speaker 1>for five years until he needed three knee surgeries, but

0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Lamar promises his knee is better and has an upcoming

0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:42.600
<v Speaker 1>tryout with the Philadelphia seventy six ers. Coaching kids is

0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:45.639
<v Speaker 1>for has beens and wannabes, but when Alex offers him

0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:48.439
<v Speaker 1>some money, Lamar agrees to an hour long practice tomorrow

0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:50.879
<v Speaker 1>at four and drives off in that same sketchy van.

0:21:52.520 --> 0:21:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Back at Alex's.

0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:59.160
<v Speaker 2>So it was really like a rundown, just sketch like sketch, like.

0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Hey, honey, where'd you meet your coach in a van

0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:06.440
<v Speaker 1>by the playground? Never an answer you want for anything.

0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:09.520
<v Speaker 2>I would if that van was anywhere near the playground.

0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:12.760
<v Speaker 2>I can't even tell you the like reroute of what

0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:16.280
<v Speaker 2>I would do to walk as far away from that

0:22:16.400 --> 0:22:19.720
<v Speaker 2>van as possible. I hate vans that look like that.

0:22:19.960 --> 0:22:20.360
<v Speaker 1>I do.

0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:22.840
<v Speaker 2>I go out of my way.

0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:24.919
<v Speaker 1>You would have dialed nine to one and had your

0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:25.960
<v Speaker 1>finger over the other one.

0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Just there's a van like that parked anywhere near my car,

0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:32.000
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not like a mall or like a big

0:22:32.160 --> 0:22:35.439
<v Speaker 2>thing like that. I am on the phone. Jordan's on

0:22:35.480 --> 0:22:39.280
<v Speaker 2>the phone with me. I have my fingers with my keys.

0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:41.359
<v Speaker 2>I am ready for battle.

0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:43.920
<v Speaker 1>You like, are con prejudice against vans?

0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, if you take any type of self defense or

0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:51.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, anything like that, that's what they say.

0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Like even Tyoh tells you to stay away from a van, yeah.

0:22:54.880 --> 0:22:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Like that, especially one with no window. Holy cow, If

0:22:58.119 --> 0:23:00.760
<v Speaker 2>that's happening to me, I am free.

0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:03.639
<v Speaker 1>The hell out well, or or they're teaching your children

0:23:03.640 --> 0:23:06.560
<v Speaker 1>how to play basketball, so never don't pigeonhole people.

0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:09.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, to be fair, this one was green. I'm

0:23:09.240 --> 0:23:10.640
<v Speaker 2>really scared of the white ones.

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay again, okay, it makes a difference. You've got you've

0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:18.920
<v Speaker 1>got a color racism too, against believe.

0:23:18.920 --> 0:23:21.240
<v Speaker 2>I just like honestly put that together because I was like, well,

0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:24.880
<v Speaker 2>at least it wasn't a white one. A. Those ones

0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:26.480
<v Speaker 2>are the worst. You know that they are.

0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:29.120
<v Speaker 1>They might be the worst to you, but they're great

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:30.240
<v Speaker 1>when you want to rob a bank.

0:23:30.640 --> 0:23:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Yes, exactly.

0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Back at Alex's house, his mom, Cynthia, reveals a new

0:23:34.359 --> 0:23:37.360
<v Speaker 1>program at her hospital where students shadow doctors to see

0:23:37.400 --> 0:23:40.040
<v Speaker 1>if they like the profession. She wants Alex to participate.

0:23:40.080 --> 0:23:41.520
<v Speaker 1>In other words, she wants them to give up the

0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:44.560
<v Speaker 1>pipe dream of playing basketball. And the next day, though

0:23:44.600 --> 0:23:47.720
<v Speaker 1>a little late, Lamar does arrive for practice, surprising the

0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:49.880
<v Speaker 1>boys with a loud whistle and immediately putting them back

0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:54.200
<v Speaker 1>to work with intense time sprints over and over and

0:23:54.240 --> 0:23:57.320
<v Speaker 1>over again. By the end of practice, the boys are exhausted.

0:23:57.720 --> 0:24:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Lamar explains he's not there to be liked, there to

0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:02.760
<v Speaker 1>turn a bad team into a better one. Alex pays

0:24:02.840 --> 0:24:04.159
<v Speaker 1>him the rest of his money and they set up

0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:06.959
<v Speaker 1>another practice for the very next day. Back in his

0:24:07.600 --> 0:24:10.119
<v Speaker 1>van Sabrina's favorite thing in the world, Lamar sends a

0:24:10.200 --> 0:24:12.119
<v Speaker 1>letter back home to his kid, including the money he

0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:15.720
<v Speaker 1>just made from coaching. The next day, Lamar arrives for

0:24:15.840 --> 0:24:17.920
<v Speaker 1>day two, and the boys immediately question their new coach

0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:20.160
<v Speaker 1>about his family, trying to figure out if he could

0:24:20.359 --> 0:24:24.879
<v Speaker 1>be actually Judah. They learn his dad was called Skip

0:24:24.880 --> 0:24:27.520
<v Speaker 1>and he has three brothers, but it was four, just

0:24:27.560 --> 0:24:29.800
<v Speaker 1>like Judah, but one was killed while on duty as

0:24:29.840 --> 0:24:32.360
<v Speaker 1>a cop. Although the boys are affected by this revelation,

0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:35.000
<v Speaker 1>they're immediately put back to work, and during the rigorous

0:24:35.040 --> 0:24:39.680
<v Speaker 1>sprints Guess who bikes by Tyler Tyler and the Warriors,

0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Alex is distracted by their trash talking, but Lamar gets

0:24:42.800 --> 0:24:45.880
<v Speaker 1>some refocus, but also realizes that these kids are being bullied,

0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:48.640
<v Speaker 1>and once practice is over, the boys are concerned about

0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:51.080
<v Speaker 1>spending all the money on Lamont. Their parents are starting

0:24:51.119 --> 0:24:53.440
<v Speaker 1>to ask questions, but Alex says he can't directly ask

0:24:53.480 --> 0:24:55.680
<v Speaker 1>his mom for money for basketball, so now he's tasked

0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:57.600
<v Speaker 1>with finding all the cash he can on his own,

0:24:58.119 --> 0:25:01.480
<v Speaker 1>so he decides to sell his prize Julia serving Basketball

0:25:01.480 --> 0:25:04.560
<v Speaker 1>car Doctor j just as his mom reveals he's been

0:25:04.600 --> 0:25:08.359
<v Speaker 1>accepted into the Doctor's Shadow program and it starts on Monday.

0:25:08.640 --> 0:25:12.040
<v Speaker 1>She didn't even ask him. She's like, you're going to

0:25:12.119 --> 0:25:14.560
<v Speaker 1>this thing and you're giving up basketball, like the one

0:25:14.560 --> 0:25:16.640
<v Speaker 1>thing this kid loves. To me that was like, really,

0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:18.320
<v Speaker 1>you're not gonna ask me to quit basketball. It took

0:25:18.320 --> 0:25:23.800
<v Speaker 1>You're just you're done with basketball? Mm not okay, Not okay, mom.

0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:26.880
<v Speaker 1>And we're gonna get into to the mom a little

0:25:26.920 --> 0:25:30.280
<v Speaker 1>bit farther because she MAM's pissing me off. I'm gonna

0:25:30.280 --> 0:25:32.080
<v Speaker 1>be honest with you. Mom's pissing me off. And I

0:25:32.119 --> 0:25:34.000
<v Speaker 1>get it's supposed to come from a good place. But

0:25:34.000 --> 0:25:35.440
<v Speaker 1>the thing that was interesting to me, and I don't

0:25:35.440 --> 0:25:36.679
<v Speaker 1>know if this is because again we don't know how

0:25:36.760 --> 0:25:39.119
<v Speaker 1>much of this is based on true it's based on

0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:40.760
<v Speaker 1>a true story, but you wonder how much is actually

0:25:40.800 --> 0:25:42.800
<v Speaker 1>based on a true story. It's supposed to be based

0:25:42.880 --> 0:25:46.720
<v Speaker 1>on the mont Car's life. But nine percent of these

0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:49.800
<v Speaker 1>movies the bad Parent quote unquote, the one where who

0:25:49.800 --> 0:25:52.000
<v Speaker 1>has the revelation who were always learning like, oh, should

0:25:52.000 --> 0:25:53.680
<v Speaker 1>we put them in the Hall of fame? Is the dad?

0:25:54.560 --> 0:25:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

0:25:55.040 --> 0:25:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Can you think of another one where it's the mom

0:25:57.000 --> 0:25:58.440
<v Speaker 1>that we want to chuck into the Hall of Fame

0:25:59.240 --> 0:26:06.040
<v Speaker 1>of dcom parent Hall of Fame double teamed Quints that mom.

0:26:07.280 --> 0:26:11.639
<v Speaker 2>You know, but she was distracted with the other kids,

0:26:11.720 --> 0:26:18.160
<v Speaker 2>which you know, understandably especially right, but she was because

0:26:18.160 --> 0:26:20.760
<v Speaker 2>it was both of them. Like the thing is, when

0:26:20.920 --> 0:26:23.359
<v Speaker 2>with the movies, there's usually one parent that's trying to

0:26:23.400 --> 0:26:26.560
<v Speaker 2>pull the other parent that's maybe not making the best

0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:31.720
<v Speaker 2>decisions and handling the situation the best, right, there's usually

0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:34.480
<v Speaker 2>the other parent that's kind of trying to like come on, like,

0:26:35.200 --> 0:26:38.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, but the two and Quince, they were just

0:26:38.720 --> 0:26:40.280
<v Speaker 2>equally just like crap.

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:42.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, that's true. I can't think of another just

0:26:42.480 --> 0:26:44.439
<v Speaker 1>straight up mom though, where it's the dad being the

0:26:44.440 --> 0:26:47.440
<v Speaker 1>good guy and the mom is like kind they.

0:26:47.400 --> 0:26:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, This I think is a little bit of

0:26:50.640 --> 0:26:51.480
<v Speaker 2>a first I think.

0:26:51.560 --> 0:26:54.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I think maybe because again, wanting your kid to

0:26:54.720 --> 0:26:57.680
<v Speaker 1>be a doctor or a lawyer, most parents want something

0:26:57.680 --> 0:26:59.720
<v Speaker 1>like that for the kids. Grades.

0:26:59.880 --> 0:27:03.760
<v Speaker 2>I think that's an obvious You cant do extracurricular things.

0:27:03.480 --> 0:27:06.840
<v Speaker 1>But signing something, yeah, but signing up for something where

0:27:06.880 --> 0:27:08.399
<v Speaker 1>it's like she hadn't even gotten the grades yet, but

0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:10.760
<v Speaker 1>she's like it starts Monday, and hey, I'm literally in

0:27:10.800 --> 0:27:12.920
<v Speaker 1>the middle of basketball season right now. She didn't ask him,

0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:15.239
<v Speaker 1>doesn't do anything, just like that's it, You're done with this,

0:27:15.440 --> 0:27:19.480
<v Speaker 1>and it's that I didn't didn't like that. No, So yeah,

0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:20.640
<v Speaker 1>well it's funny.

0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:23.960
<v Speaker 2>To be honest, I mean, not that you know, she's saying, like, oh,

0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:27.000
<v Speaker 2>it's just so extreme of an idea that you would

0:27:27.040 --> 0:27:31.760
<v Speaker 2>be an NBA. But being a doctor is a very

0:27:31.920 --> 0:27:35.680
<v Speaker 2>giant goal and not easy to attain either, even getting

0:27:35.720 --> 0:27:37.800
<v Speaker 2>into the right school that you want to get into

0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:41.760
<v Speaker 2>to be that doctor, especially since they've said up incredibly difficult.

0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:44.159
<v Speaker 1>They have clearly set up that Alex is like a

0:27:44.200 --> 0:27:47.440
<v Speaker 1>B student, right, this is he's not.

0:27:49.359 --> 0:27:51.840
<v Speaker 2>He's a student, so this is going to be a difficult.

0:27:51.880 --> 0:27:53.400
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that's almost equally.

0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:56.679
<v Speaker 1>It's just you can't you can't do something as hard

0:27:56.720 --> 0:27:58.760
<v Speaker 1>as play basketball. You have to do something as easy

0:27:58.800 --> 0:28:02.200
<v Speaker 1>as be a surgeon. Yeah, like wait what.

0:28:02.359 --> 0:28:05.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean again, just even getting into the school

0:28:06.680 --> 0:28:09.919
<v Speaker 2>of anything seems like it would be very difficult for

0:28:09.960 --> 0:28:12.240
<v Speaker 2>our friend Alex, who's a B student.

0:28:12.359 --> 0:28:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, unless you're going to Bob's upstairs medical college, then

0:28:15.640 --> 0:28:24.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm guessing it's going to be tough. But of course

0:28:24.640 --> 0:28:27.159
<v Speaker 1>Alex says he can't go on Monday he has basketball practice,

0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:29.159
<v Speaker 1>but his mom doesn't care. She needs him to get

0:28:29.200 --> 0:28:32.720
<v Speaker 1>ready for the rest of his life. Okay, we talked

0:28:32.720 --> 0:28:37.040
<v Speaker 1>about this, do we? I think, especially after most of

0:28:37.080 --> 0:28:39.520
<v Speaker 1>this movie. Again, she's never going to his games, she's

0:28:39.600 --> 0:28:41.760
<v Speaker 1>never there to support him, She's trying to stop him

0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:44.000
<v Speaker 1>from his dream. I have to put her in the

0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:45.920
<v Speaker 1>dcom Hall of Fame as bad parents, wouldn't you. I

0:28:45.960 --> 0:28:48.160
<v Speaker 1>guess she learns that, but they all do. But you

0:28:48.320 --> 0:28:50.120
<v Speaker 1>still got to go into the dcom Hall of Fame.

0:28:50.520 --> 0:28:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Okay, she's there.

0:28:52.080 --> 0:28:54.800
<v Speaker 1>She Gossibel first woman entry love that might be.

0:28:55.280 --> 0:28:57.800
<v Speaker 2>I know what, watch the first comment we get back

0:28:57.840 --> 0:29:00.920
<v Speaker 2>on that one of the guys are and correct, Yeah,

0:29:00.960 --> 0:29:02.400
<v Speaker 2>there's three or four of them.

0:29:02.600 --> 0:29:05.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm surprised Producer Lisa somebody hasn't popped up and been like,

0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:07.400
<v Speaker 1>are you kidding? What about blah blah blah blah blah

0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:09.880
<v Speaker 1>blah blah. Right, Okay, and we'd missed the six that

0:29:09.920 --> 0:29:12.720
<v Speaker 1>we're like, oh that's right, Oh that's right, Oh that's right. Yeah.

0:29:12.760 --> 0:29:16.120
<v Speaker 2>But regardless, even if she's not the first, she's only one.

0:29:16.360 --> 0:29:19.440
<v Speaker 1>She's in later, Alex is back with Julie, who can't

0:29:19.440 --> 0:29:21.280
<v Speaker 1>believe he's selling his doctor J card. It was a

0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Barmot's foot present from his parents, but he knows to

0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:26.600
<v Speaker 1>win the tournament, his team needs to practice. Julie says

0:29:26.800 --> 0:29:29.000
<v Speaker 1>she might not understand what basketball means to him, but

0:29:29.080 --> 0:29:31.640
<v Speaker 1>she does know the Shadow program is awesome. So Alex

0:29:31.680 --> 0:29:33.920
<v Speaker 1>has an idea. She can take his place and he'll

0:29:33.920 --> 0:29:37.720
<v Speaker 1>handle his mom. Meanwhile, Lamar's very creepy van is overheated,

0:29:37.840 --> 0:29:40.040
<v Speaker 1>probably from all the children he's been kidnapping. In the back,

0:29:40.040 --> 0:29:43.480
<v Speaker 1>it weighed down. He's told he needs five hundred dollars

0:29:43.480 --> 0:29:45.640
<v Speaker 1>to get it fixed. Just as Alex arrives with his

0:29:45.760 --> 0:29:47.920
<v Speaker 1>doctor J money, but Lamar says the deal is off.

0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:49.920
<v Speaker 1>He needs to find some serious cash to fix his car,

0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:52.680
<v Speaker 1>but Alex isn't hearing it. He offers double the money

0:29:52.720 --> 0:29:54.880
<v Speaker 1>to make it worth his while, but Lamar says he

0:29:54.920 --> 0:29:56.719
<v Speaker 1>can't do that in the kids. He can't do that

0:29:56.760 --> 0:29:59.520
<v Speaker 1>to the kids. Alex insists they need to practice in

0:29:59.560 --> 0:30:02.520
<v Speaker 1>the tournament is just two weeks away. Lamar is thankful

0:30:02.520 --> 0:30:05.000
<v Speaker 1>and accepts half the money up front, but Alex has

0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:08.000
<v Speaker 1>one more problem. The other guys are starting to hate basketball.

0:30:08.200 --> 0:30:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Lamar needs to ease up a bit and help them

0:30:10.160 --> 0:30:14.080
<v Speaker 1>love the game. Good advice. And so practice time is back,

0:30:14.320 --> 0:30:17.120
<v Speaker 1>and Lamar quickly shows that he's completely chilled out. Instead

0:30:17.120 --> 0:30:19.880
<v Speaker 1>of running drills today, they're gonna shoot. Oh yes, I

0:30:19.920 --> 0:30:22.480
<v Speaker 1>love shooting and that's the best part of practice, and

0:30:22.520 --> 0:30:24.440
<v Speaker 1>he does it with a smile. The Lions are loving

0:30:24.440 --> 0:30:26.560
<v Speaker 1>it and they're getting better. Lamar says they have potential

0:30:26.600 --> 0:30:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and ask them to stop putting themselves in a box

0:30:28.520 --> 0:30:31.320
<v Speaker 1>as just Jewish kids who can't play ball. He needs

0:30:31.360 --> 0:30:34.000
<v Speaker 1>them to believe in themselves. That night, Alex is on

0:30:34.000 --> 0:30:36.120
<v Speaker 1>the phone trying to figure out how they'll get Laman's money,

0:30:36.200 --> 0:30:38.720
<v Speaker 1>and for some reason, he's asking for coffee mugs, and

0:30:38.760 --> 0:30:40.800
<v Speaker 1>when his mom gets home, he lies and pretends he

0:30:40.880 --> 0:30:43.600
<v Speaker 1>was at the hospital today the next morning, which, again,

0:30:43.680 --> 0:30:45.600
<v Speaker 1>if she's a doctor at the hospital, wouldn't she know

0:30:45.680 --> 0:30:46.720
<v Speaker 1>that he wasn't there?

0:30:49.400 --> 0:30:52.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean yes, I mean when you figure.

0:30:52.280 --> 0:30:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Her doctor colleague would be like, hey, your kid never

0:30:54.320 --> 0:30:55.400
<v Speaker 1>showed up today, right, And.

0:30:55.360 --> 0:30:58.000
<v Speaker 2>You would assume she'd be checking in on him, seeing

0:30:58.000 --> 0:30:58.760
<v Speaker 2>that he's.

0:30:58.640 --> 0:31:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Fourteen, you know, and he's a helicopter par Yeah.

0:31:01.600 --> 0:31:04.880
<v Speaker 2>And she's yeah, so that seemed to be a little

0:31:05.200 --> 0:31:07.680
<v Speaker 2>a little m a little stretched.

0:31:07.800 --> 0:31:10.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I also thought, if you're making up scenes for

0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:12.760
<v Speaker 1>the movie, like the entire thing obviously has to be disnified.

0:31:13.160 --> 0:31:14.720
<v Speaker 1>But what would have been great to get him out

0:31:14.720 --> 0:31:16.600
<v Speaker 1>of the program is he's falling around the doctor for

0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:17.959
<v Speaker 1>the first day. He knows he's got to get out.

0:31:18.000 --> 0:31:19.840
<v Speaker 1>He goes to the first page in one little drop

0:31:19.840 --> 0:31:22.200
<v Speaker 1>of blood and he pretends to faint. So it's like

0:31:22.280 --> 0:31:23.800
<v Speaker 1>they know he's not going to be a doctor kind

0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:26.440
<v Speaker 1>of thing. Yeah, which could have been funny, but again

0:31:26.560 --> 0:31:30.200
<v Speaker 1>it's like, Okay, we'll figure it out. The next morning,

0:31:30.280 --> 0:31:33.040
<v Speaker 1>we as the wonderful audience learned what the mugs were for.

0:31:33.160 --> 0:31:34.840
<v Speaker 1>The team is manning a little cart in front of

0:31:34.840 --> 0:31:37.320
<v Speaker 1>their school, raising money by selling coffee to parents and

0:31:37.360 --> 0:31:40.560
<v Speaker 1>the rabbis, but when missus Klein spots them, she's suspicious

0:31:40.640 --> 0:31:43.560
<v Speaker 1>of their real intentions. Back at home, Cynthia is bragging

0:31:43.560 --> 0:31:45.959
<v Speaker 1>at Alex's dad about her son following in her footsteps,

0:31:46.200 --> 0:31:48.360
<v Speaker 1>and he's nervous about selling a condo. So we have

0:31:48.360 --> 0:31:50.800
<v Speaker 1>a doctor in real estate agent, and just as they

0:31:50.800 --> 0:31:54.080
<v Speaker 1>can't find their espresso machine, missus Klein calls. He's been

0:31:54.200 --> 0:31:57.280
<v Speaker 1>busted for selling beverages, and now he must answer to

0:31:57.360 --> 0:31:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Rabbi Lewis, who's disappointed with all the lies. And Cynthia

0:31:59.840 --> 0:32:04.600
<v Speaker 1>has banned all strangers from coaching the basketball team, which again,

0:32:05.560 --> 0:32:08.160
<v Speaker 1>it's five kids meeting at a park after school. How

0:32:08.200 --> 0:32:09.440
<v Speaker 1>can you ban them from that?

0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:11.000
<v Speaker 2>You absolutely cannot.

0:32:11.320 --> 0:32:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Right, It's like I'm meeting up with my friends at

0:32:13.560 --> 0:32:18.760
<v Speaker 1>a park and we're training with some guy. It's like saying.

0:32:17.160 --> 0:32:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Yourself exactly, and anyone's dad could be like, hey, if

0:32:20.480 --> 0:32:23.400
<v Speaker 2>anyone you know or just see, like my kid with

0:32:23.440 --> 0:32:25.440
<v Speaker 2>me and my kid Robert are playing and then all

0:32:25.480 --> 0:32:27.880
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden his friends are there and the dad's

0:32:27.960 --> 0:32:29.959
<v Speaker 2>like somewhat like helping, giving them tips.

0:32:30.080 --> 0:32:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Like there's no, you can't ban them for that. You

0:32:32.880 --> 0:32:33.680
<v Speaker 1>can't ban them for that.

0:32:33.840 --> 0:32:37.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but this, I mean this lady just yes, you know,

0:32:37.760 --> 0:32:42.080
<v Speaker 2>missus Klein is just hard too. She is I mean

0:32:42.200 --> 0:32:46.160
<v Speaker 2>what a just yeah, ruin, ruin are.

0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:48.120
<v Speaker 1>A fun not good? Yeah, she's a She's a what

0:32:48.120 --> 0:32:49.800
<v Speaker 1>they would call a traditional buzzkill.

0:32:50.240 --> 0:32:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Buzzkill. There you go.

0:32:52.280 --> 0:32:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Alex quotes the Torah to defend the new coach and

0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Rabbi Lewitz kind of agrees, and that's why he's inviting Alex,

0:32:59.000 --> 0:33:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Alex's parents and coach Lamont to his house for shoppis

0:33:02.440 --> 0:33:05.960
<v Speaker 1>this Friday night. Oh, this could get tricky, and so

0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:08.320
<v Speaker 1>we jumped to Shabas. Everyone is partaking in the festivities

0:33:08.360 --> 0:33:11.360
<v Speaker 1>while Lamont experiences some culture shock like putting horse radish

0:33:11.400 --> 0:33:13.920
<v Speaker 1>on your fish and lighting candles to prey. But he's

0:33:13.960 --> 0:33:16.440
<v Speaker 1>being a trooper and loves the food. But when he

0:33:16.440 --> 0:33:19.120
<v Speaker 1>asks for milk, he quickly learns about the Kosher lifestyle.

0:33:19.720 --> 0:33:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Everyone wants to know more about Lamont and how he's

0:33:21.840 --> 0:33:24.520
<v Speaker 1>making the team better. Alex's mom certainly isn't sold on

0:33:24.560 --> 0:33:26.680
<v Speaker 1>this at all. She has some concerns, one being they

0:33:26.760 --> 0:33:28.920
<v Speaker 1>practice out on the street. That can't be safe. Again,

0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:30.360
<v Speaker 1>this is the park you let your kid go to

0:33:30.480 --> 0:33:33.520
<v Speaker 1>every single day. And so Rabbi Lewis has a solution.

0:33:33.640 --> 0:33:36.080
<v Speaker 1>He offers up the school jim for their practices. What

0:33:36.160 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 1>a great idea, except when they cut to them later

0:33:37.920 --> 0:33:40.840
<v Speaker 1>they're practicing outside still at the school, which made no

0:33:40.880 --> 0:33:43.680
<v Speaker 1>sense to me. Lamot makes sure the rabbi knows he

0:33:43.720 --> 0:33:47.200
<v Speaker 1>isn't Jewish, and the Rabbi jokes, yeah, he suspected that,

0:33:47.560 --> 0:33:50.200
<v Speaker 1>but it's all about acceptance and inviting all faiths to

0:33:50.240 --> 0:33:52.440
<v Speaker 1>join them in their teachings. And a little known fact,

0:33:52.720 --> 0:33:56.120
<v Speaker 1>the NBA was started by mostly Jewish teams, including the Knicks.

0:33:56.280 --> 0:33:58.760
<v Speaker 1>But Lamar still turns down the job. He's focused on

0:33:58.840 --> 0:34:02.040
<v Speaker 1>making the sixers. I suggest they make the job temporary

0:34:02.280 --> 0:34:04.680
<v Speaker 1>day to day. That way he can leave them when

0:34:04.680 --> 0:34:09.960
<v Speaker 1>he has to join her roster. But back at home, Cynthia, Oh, Cynthia,

0:34:10.040 --> 0:34:13.680
<v Speaker 1>the loving mom is of course furious. She tells Alex's dad, Marshall,

0:34:13.719 --> 0:34:15.960
<v Speaker 1>that she wants Alex to focus on something realistic for

0:34:16.040 --> 0:34:19.080
<v Speaker 1>his life. Again he's like thirteen, but his dad argues

0:34:19.120 --> 0:34:21.160
<v Speaker 1>that this is his dream and you can't stop a

0:34:21.200 --> 0:34:23.640
<v Speaker 1>kid from trying to achieve his dream, even if it's unlikely.

0:34:24.000 --> 0:34:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, good advice, Thank you dad, Thank you dad.

0:34:27.160 --> 0:34:29.319
<v Speaker 1>And so the next day, Alex arrives with the new

0:34:29.360 --> 0:34:32.120
<v Speaker 1>basketball coach, LaMonte Carr, who sticks out like a sore thumb.

0:34:32.239 --> 0:34:34.040
<v Speaker 1>We get a good line when he says he feels

0:34:34.080 --> 0:34:38.120
<v Speaker 1>like quote a filter fish out of water unquote. Then, unfortunately,

0:34:38.200 --> 0:34:42.160
<v Speaker 1>the first person they run into is Missus Klein. Happy, Happy,

0:34:42.200 --> 0:34:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Missus Clyne. She's the fit. I'm not even gonna keep

0:34:44.480 --> 0:34:47.239
<v Speaker 1>singing for missus clein. She's the worst. She's anything but

0:34:47.280 --> 0:34:50.120
<v Speaker 1>welcoming and already mad about basketball being back in the hall.

0:34:50.800 --> 0:34:54.440
<v Speaker 1>But the former basketball coach mister Simowitz is thrilled that

0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:56.680
<v Speaker 1>they found in a replacement. He is off the hook

0:34:56.719 --> 0:34:59.279
<v Speaker 1>and him running up like thank you, thank you, thank you,

0:34:59.280 --> 0:35:00.000
<v Speaker 1>thank you.

0:35:00.520 --> 0:35:03.399
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, thank you. If I ever had

0:35:03.440 --> 0:35:08.040
<v Speaker 2>a coach that was just sitting doing grading papers or anything,

0:35:08.239 --> 0:35:08.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh my.

0:35:08.920 --> 0:35:12.759
<v Speaker 1>Gosh, yep. The Lions are getting better, but Alex is

0:35:12.760 --> 0:35:15.480
<v Speaker 1>still ball hogging. Rabbi Lewis catches some of the practice

0:35:15.480 --> 0:35:17.920
<v Speaker 1>and is already impressed with their growth, but Coach Lamont

0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:19.560
<v Speaker 1>knows they have a lot of confidence to build if

0:35:19.600 --> 0:35:22.400
<v Speaker 1>they want to beat the Warriors. Rabbi Lewis again mentions

0:35:22.440 --> 0:35:24.760
<v Speaker 1>the ancient Maccabees and how they dealt with being out numbered,

0:35:24.800 --> 0:35:27.160
<v Speaker 1>and it gives Lamon an idea. He immediately uses the

0:35:27.200 --> 0:35:29.799
<v Speaker 1>Maccabee strategy, also known as the full court press to

0:35:29.840 --> 0:35:34.399
<v Speaker 1>isolate and pressure the offense. After practice, Alex borrows TJ's bike.

0:35:34.600 --> 0:35:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Borrows is a quote unquote basically steals it to follow

0:35:37.880 --> 0:35:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Coach Lamont in his van Again little kid on a

0:35:40.360 --> 0:35:42.040
<v Speaker 1>bike folling a guy in a van not always good,

0:35:42.080 --> 0:35:44.880
<v Speaker 1>performing jumps and drifting to keep up. Eventually learning that

0:35:44.960 --> 0:35:47.319
<v Speaker 1>his mentor is living out of his car under a

0:35:47.360 --> 0:35:51.080
<v Speaker 1>bridge that doesn't make the van any better. Alex decides

0:35:51.080 --> 0:35:52.920
<v Speaker 1>to get a closer look and is caught by Lamont.

0:35:53.000 --> 0:35:55.480
<v Speaker 1>It's then that he reveals his team thinks he's the

0:35:55.520 --> 0:35:57.960
<v Speaker 1>ghost of Judah. Lamont laughs it off and invites the

0:35:58.000 --> 0:36:00.480
<v Speaker 1>boy to stay for dinner. While eating food on a bridge,

0:36:00.520 --> 0:36:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Alex hears all about the coaches CBA career. Alex is

0:36:02.960 --> 0:36:05.440
<v Speaker 1>jealous Lamont got a chance to follow his dreams, but

0:36:05.520 --> 0:36:08.640
<v Speaker 1>he admits he misses his son terribly. He explains, to

0:36:08.719 --> 0:36:11.640
<v Speaker 1>chase big dreams, you must make big sacrifices. He asked

0:36:11.680 --> 0:36:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Alex not to tell anyone at school about his van.

0:36:14.719 --> 0:36:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Good advice, and Alex agrees to keep quiet.

0:36:20.280 --> 0:36:23.040
<v Speaker 2>I love Lamont. I think he's such a great character.

0:36:23.600 --> 0:36:26.400
<v Speaker 2>Character's amazing in it. But I'm just going.

0:36:26.200 --> 0:36:29.480
<v Speaker 1>This is getting worse. Yeah, I know, I know, I know.

0:36:29.760 --> 0:36:32.400
<v Speaker 2>If this isn't like a movie that would be on

0:36:32.600 --> 0:36:35.760
<v Speaker 2>like what like Hallmark right before the Little Kid gets

0:36:35.800 --> 0:36:37.040
<v Speaker 2>stolen exactly.

0:36:38.920 --> 0:36:41.839
<v Speaker 1>You change a couple things in this movie, and then

0:36:41.880 --> 0:36:46.200
<v Speaker 1>the titles wears Alex. It becomes a whole different thing, Alex.

0:36:46.840 --> 0:36:49.840
<v Speaker 2>It goes a very different direction. I mean, I'm just

0:36:49.920 --> 0:36:53.439
<v Speaker 2>kind of like, I mean, but I'm in it. I'm there.

0:36:53.600 --> 0:36:55.520
<v Speaker 2>I think I love Lamon's character.

0:36:56.480 --> 0:36:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Were the title full court miracle, the miracle could be

0:36:59.440 --> 0:37:01.560
<v Speaker 1>them finding Alex alive at the end of the movie

0:37:01.560 --> 0:37:06.800
<v Speaker 1>in the van a basketball. That's what it is. Yes, exactly.

0:37:07.360 --> 0:37:09.640
<v Speaker 2>I do love Lamont. I do love the depth they're

0:37:09.680 --> 0:37:10.720
<v Speaker 2>giving his character.

0:37:11.000 --> 0:37:13.480
<v Speaker 1>That he's also the by far the best actor in

0:37:13.480 --> 0:37:14.960
<v Speaker 1>the movie, and there's some good ones in there, but

0:37:15.000 --> 0:37:16.440
<v Speaker 1>he's killing it in this movie.

0:37:16.480 --> 0:37:18.960
<v Speaker 2>He is killing it absolutely, and I but I do

0:37:19.000 --> 0:37:21.799
<v Speaker 2>love like it's not he's not just like a selfish

0:37:22.560 --> 0:37:26.000
<v Speaker 2>guy that's you know, irritated, still trying to, you know,

0:37:26.080 --> 0:37:28.400
<v Speaker 2>figure out a way back to his dream that he had.

0:37:28.800 --> 0:37:31.040
<v Speaker 2>He's not just selfish. This is more. This is about

0:37:31.200 --> 0:37:34.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, his family too, you know, and providing so.

0:37:34.320 --> 0:37:35.640
<v Speaker 1>And at first I was like, oh, he's going to

0:37:35.719 --> 0:37:37.319
<v Speaker 1>keep taking money from the kids. I don't know how

0:37:37.360 --> 0:37:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel about that. But then he's like, because obviously

0:37:40.000 --> 0:37:42.080
<v Speaker 1>he needs the money, he's living in a broken down van.

0:37:42.440 --> 0:37:44.480
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, it was like, I don't

0:37:44.480 --> 0:37:47.120
<v Speaker 1>know how I feel about this, and then he started

0:37:47.120 --> 0:37:48.520
<v Speaker 1>He's like, I can't keep taking this. I can't And

0:37:48.520 --> 0:37:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I was like, okay, all right, good they're addressing that,

0:37:50.200 --> 0:37:53.839
<v Speaker 1>which is yes, that was He's like, he just keeps

0:37:53.920 --> 0:37:57.960
<v Speaker 1>packing the children's money to live in right. The next day,

0:37:57.960 --> 0:38:00.359
<v Speaker 1>at school, missus Klein visits Lamont and asked why he's

0:38:00.440 --> 0:38:03.400
<v Speaker 1>left the address section of his onboarding paperwork blank. He

0:38:03.440 --> 0:38:05.680
<v Speaker 1>blames a recent move, but she's not buying it. He

0:38:05.760 --> 0:38:07.719
<v Speaker 1>quickly makes up a number in street name by looking

0:38:07.719 --> 0:38:10.880
<v Speaker 1>at presidential portraits around the office, So yes, he lives

0:38:11.000 --> 0:38:14.440
<v Speaker 1>on Jefferson. That night, Alex's family lights a candle for

0:38:14.440 --> 0:38:16.759
<v Speaker 1>the first night of Hanukah. Lamont is comfortable in his van,

0:38:16.840 --> 0:38:19.400
<v Speaker 1>staring at his young son's art. Their situation could not

0:38:19.520 --> 0:38:23.120
<v Speaker 1>be more different. Alex's night one gift is an is

0:38:23.120 --> 0:38:26.200
<v Speaker 1>an Encyclopedia cd RAM. This pairs well with the pager.

0:38:26.480 --> 0:38:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Alex pretends he's excited about it that has handed a

0:38:28.400 --> 0:38:31.480
<v Speaker 1>replacement gift. It's the doctor j card. Julie told them

0:38:31.560 --> 0:38:34.759
<v Speaker 1>he sold it and so they made sure he got

0:38:34.760 --> 0:38:37.640
<v Speaker 1>it back. This is the thing I don't know about hannak.

0:38:37.719 --> 0:38:41.520
<v Speaker 1>I know each night there's different gifts that are specific

0:38:41.560 --> 0:38:43.680
<v Speaker 1>to the night, and I don't know what those are.

0:38:43.760 --> 0:38:45.279
<v Speaker 1>It's like I know because I had Jewish friends going

0:38:45.320 --> 0:38:47.439
<v Speaker 1>up there, like, oh, it's night whatever. Three. I'm making

0:38:47.440 --> 0:38:49.439
<v Speaker 1>this up so I know I'm wrong, but it's night three.

0:38:49.560 --> 0:38:51.080
<v Speaker 1>This is like the big night. This is where we

0:38:51.120 --> 0:38:53.839
<v Speaker 1>get our big gift. So that you know, each night

0:38:53.960 --> 0:38:56.360
<v Speaker 1>had something like a tradle was one night and I

0:38:56.400 --> 0:38:59.760
<v Speaker 1>think they got money one night. It was all something different.

0:39:00.040 --> 0:39:02.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure if you like really got into it, there's

0:39:02.719 --> 0:39:05.440
<v Speaker 2>probably like a signifying reason.

0:39:05.640 --> 0:39:05.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:39:05.960 --> 0:39:09.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm sure significance of the kind of gift that

0:39:09.400 --> 0:39:13.600
<v Speaker 2>you're getting are like success or you know, it's.

0:39:13.440 --> 0:39:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Got to mean something.

0:39:14.200 --> 0:39:17.319
<v Speaker 2>It shows how it made me really like go. You know,

0:39:17.440 --> 0:39:21.600
<v Speaker 2>it's crazy, like I know about quite a few religions

0:39:21.600 --> 0:39:24.600
<v Speaker 2>and I've never really looked into things like this and

0:39:24.640 --> 0:39:27.080
<v Speaker 2>getting specifics and made me kind of go again, here

0:39:27.080 --> 0:39:29.879
<v Speaker 2>I am with Disney, like, oh, I want to travel to.

0:39:29.840 --> 0:39:30.920
<v Speaker 1>This place exactly.

0:39:31.239 --> 0:39:33.040
<v Speaker 2>I can learn more about jump roping.

0:39:33.400 --> 0:39:36.600
<v Speaker 1>The history The history of religions is super interesting when you.

0:39:36.520 --> 0:39:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Get absolutely so it's like, gosh, I really feel like

0:39:39.120 --> 0:39:41.759
<v Speaker 2>I want to dive into learning more about it, you know,

0:39:42.040 --> 0:39:44.960
<v Speaker 2>especially the traditions that they're still doing things that I

0:39:45.040 --> 0:39:45.640
<v Speaker 2>really that.

0:39:45.719 --> 0:39:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Lasts for thousands of years. Very yes. The next day,

0:39:55.080 --> 0:39:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Rabbi Lewis notices Lamont's van in the school parking lot

0:39:57.560 --> 0:40:00.279
<v Speaker 1>and realizes he's probably sleeping in it. The revelation to

0:40:00.320 --> 0:40:02.879
<v Speaker 1>him just as missus Klein realizes the coach lied about

0:40:02.880 --> 0:40:06.120
<v Speaker 1>his address. Rabbi Lewis covers for Lamont because missus Klein

0:40:06.160 --> 0:40:08.439
<v Speaker 1>seems determined to get the coach fired, and she's also

0:40:10.000 --> 0:40:12.560
<v Speaker 1>and as if things aren't stressful enough, Alex got a

0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:14.799
<v Speaker 1>C minus god I'd be jumping for joy on his

0:40:14.880 --> 0:40:18.160
<v Speaker 1>most recent history test in Rabbi Lewis's class. But more importantly,

0:40:18.239 --> 0:40:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Rabbi Lewis warns Alex that missus Klein is going to

0:40:20.560 --> 0:40:23.399
<v Speaker 1>follow Coach Lamont home from practice tonight. Soph he does

0:40:23.400 --> 0:40:27.240
<v Speaker 1>something like, for instance, live in his van. He winks

0:40:27.600 --> 0:40:30.360
<v Speaker 1>she can get him fired with the news. Alex rushes

0:40:30.360 --> 0:40:33.399
<v Speaker 1>off to by the way, loves Rabbi Lewis loved him.

0:40:33.480 --> 0:40:34.960
<v Speaker 1>He was he was great.

0:40:35.480 --> 0:40:38.799
<v Speaker 2>He was the most like you just you just wanted

0:40:38.800 --> 0:40:39.160
<v Speaker 2>to give.

0:40:39.040 --> 0:40:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Him a high five. He was awesome.

0:40:40.520 --> 0:40:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for looking thank you for supporting and looking

0:40:44.200 --> 0:40:46.320
<v Speaker 2>out for these kids, because thanks for looking out, Robert

0:40:46.440 --> 0:40:49.520
<v Speaker 2>the only freaking one there. Yep, we're really thinking about

0:40:49.560 --> 0:40:50.919
<v Speaker 2>what these kids want, what's best.

0:40:51.000 --> 0:40:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's true with this news. Alex rushes off to

0:40:54.040 --> 0:40:56.279
<v Speaker 1>ask his dad about those condos he's been trying to sell,

0:40:56.440 --> 0:40:58.640
<v Speaker 1>and then Alex leaves a note for Lamont. It includes

0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:00.880
<v Speaker 1>an address and a warning to be careful because missus

0:41:00.920 --> 0:41:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Klein will be falling behind him soon, and as warned,

0:41:04.520 --> 0:41:07.239
<v Speaker 1>a sneaky climb tails the van, eventually landing at the

0:41:07.280 --> 0:41:09.759
<v Speaker 1>Foresail condo. Alex secretly meets him at the door and

0:41:09.800 --> 0:41:11.839
<v Speaker 1>Hans McKey. He set up a full plan to make

0:41:11.880 --> 0:41:13.960
<v Speaker 1>it look like he lives there. Also missus Klein will

0:41:13.960 --> 0:41:16.560
<v Speaker 1>get off his back and it works, even ending with

0:41:16.600 --> 0:41:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Missus Klein soaked dinner convertible by a passing car splashing

0:41:19.360 --> 0:41:22.160
<v Speaker 1>a puddle. No need to go into more detail about that.

0:41:22.840 --> 0:41:26.839
<v Speaker 2>I have had such a similar situation. I've had two.

0:41:27.080 --> 0:41:30.520
<v Speaker 2>I've had two convertible cars, and you've.

0:41:30.400 --> 0:41:34.359
<v Speaker 1>Been splashed while you were tailing of a basketball coach

0:41:34.360 --> 0:41:35.960
<v Speaker 1>who lived in a van. While trying to figure out

0:41:36.000 --> 0:41:37.040
<v Speaker 1>if you're actually lived.

0:41:36.840 --> 0:41:39.480
<v Speaker 2>In a place specific, but that like something has happened.

0:41:39.520 --> 0:41:43.400
<v Speaker 2>When I've been on the side of the street taking

0:41:43.440 --> 0:41:46.480
<v Speaker 2>my taking my top off of the car, you know,

0:41:46.560 --> 0:41:48.799
<v Speaker 2>and like it's like ern and waiting for it to go,

0:41:49.040 --> 0:41:51.360
<v Speaker 2>and this big truck came over and there just happened

0:41:51.360 --> 0:41:53.360
<v Speaker 2>to be a puddle, and of course my window you

0:41:53.480 --> 0:41:55.279
<v Speaker 2>have to have your windows down to do it. So

0:41:55.400 --> 0:41:57.960
<v Speaker 2>I literally like it just I mean, thank god, I

0:41:58.040 --> 0:42:00.560
<v Speaker 2>was looking like down a little bit, but it definitely

0:42:00.640 --> 0:42:03.440
<v Speaker 2>just like swiped across my face and it was like,

0:42:04.280 --> 0:42:05.880
<v Speaker 2>what the hell does happen?

0:42:05.960 --> 0:42:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's such a movie moment. That's such a movie moment.

0:42:08.880 --> 0:42:12.040
<v Speaker 2>There's either like r waiting, waiting, waiting. I get it's

0:42:12.040 --> 0:42:14.279
<v Speaker 2>such a great day. I should drive with the top down.

0:42:14.520 --> 0:42:19.960
<v Speaker 2>And then like what I hate la.

0:42:20.320 --> 0:42:22.080
<v Speaker 1>All right, well, you know what, We've got proof of concept.

0:42:22.080 --> 0:42:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Now we've got proof of concept that can really happened.

0:42:24.200 --> 0:42:28.040
<v Speaker 1>It's happened to Sabrina. I love that. Lamont says, of

0:42:28.040 --> 0:42:30.319
<v Speaker 1>course he cannot afford that big condo, but Alex says

0:42:30.320 --> 0:42:32.440
<v Speaker 1>he can stay there until his dad sells it. It

0:42:32.560 --> 0:42:35.000
<v Speaker 1>even helps sell it if it looks like someone lives there.

0:42:35.200 --> 0:42:37.319
<v Speaker 1>Alex offers to sell his doctor j card again if

0:42:37.320 --> 0:42:39.640
<v Speaker 1>he needs money for utilities. Eventually, the coach agrees to

0:42:39.680 --> 0:42:42.200
<v Speaker 1>staying there, but instead of Alex selling his card, La

0:42:42.280 --> 0:42:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Motte will finish the painting and fixing the place up

0:42:44.640 --> 0:42:48.960
<v Speaker 1>for potential buyers. And just like that, deal struck. That night,

0:42:49.000 --> 0:42:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Alex's mom gets home from work and spots Alex's C

0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:56.200
<v Speaker 1>minus and it's like he killed thousands of people. Oh

0:42:56.280 --> 0:42:58.600
<v Speaker 1>my god. First, it's.

0:43:00.200 --> 0:43:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Not I get it, not wrong, I get it. That's

0:43:04.800 --> 0:43:05.920
<v Speaker 2>below average.

0:43:06.400 --> 0:43:10.279
<v Speaker 1>She's not wrong, I get it, But come on to

0:43:10.360 --> 0:43:13.160
<v Speaker 1>see minus. The kid didn't get an F. You got

0:43:13.280 --> 0:43:17.320
<v Speaker 1>a C minus on one history quiz. But there's two

0:43:17.440 --> 0:43:21.439
<v Speaker 1>weeks left until the tournament. Two weeks this kid, it's

0:43:21.480 --> 0:43:23.400
<v Speaker 1>not Oh my god. The tournament's three years from now,

0:43:23.440 --> 0:43:24.560
<v Speaker 1>and this is the rest of my life.

0:43:24.600 --> 0:43:28.319
<v Speaker 2>It's fourteen days, okay, all right, I.

0:43:28.239 --> 0:43:31.279
<v Speaker 1>Mean, come on, first thing. The next morning, she's in

0:43:31.320 --> 0:43:34.040
<v Speaker 1>with the Rabbi Lewis and missus Kleine. She thinks her

0:43:34.040 --> 0:43:36.280
<v Speaker 1>son can't juggle school work in basketball and is willing

0:43:36.400 --> 0:43:39.160
<v Speaker 1>to evolve the board of directors if something isn't done,

0:43:39.600 --> 0:43:42.920
<v Speaker 1>which really feels like way too quick of an escalation.

0:43:43.160 --> 0:43:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean again, what she's saying is my son can't

0:43:46.680 --> 0:43:49.239
<v Speaker 1>do both, so the coach needs to be fired, so

0:43:49.440 --> 0:43:50.960
<v Speaker 1>none of the kids can play basketball.

0:43:51.000 --> 0:43:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, this is so relevant today now where how parents

0:43:56.520 --> 0:44:01.000
<v Speaker 2>react to things. It was unbelievable to watch because truly

0:44:01.120 --> 0:44:05.000
<v Speaker 2>it's like, this is the coach's fault, instead of it

0:44:05.080 --> 0:44:09.200
<v Speaker 2>being like, no, your kid's not making good decisions. Why

0:44:09.239 --> 0:44:12.040
<v Speaker 2>when he's home, he's not at practice all night? No,

0:44:12.120 --> 0:44:14.719
<v Speaker 2>the coach isn't calling practice from the time they get

0:44:14.760 --> 0:44:18.040
<v Speaker 2>out of school till nine ten o'clock at night. The

0:44:18.080 --> 0:44:20.279
<v Speaker 2>practices are, let's be honest, probably an hour and a

0:44:20.320 --> 0:44:23.840
<v Speaker 2>half two and a half hours most. What's your kids

0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:28.160
<v Speaker 2>doing time you are at home or your family or

0:44:28.160 --> 0:44:32.120
<v Speaker 2>whoever's watching him she's doing while he's at home? Like

0:44:33.440 --> 0:44:37.160
<v Speaker 2>sounds like a you problem, lady, not like a coach's problem.

0:44:37.360 --> 0:44:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't believe it. She's like, I want to cancel

0:44:39.120 --> 0:44:40.799
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing because my kid got in.

0:44:40.920 --> 0:44:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Mind, and I want everyone to say I want the

0:44:44.120 --> 0:44:47.439
<v Speaker 2>whole team to suffer having the coach because my kid

0:44:47.480 --> 0:44:50.520
<v Speaker 2>got to see. See, although she wasn't wrong with the sea,

0:44:50.680 --> 0:44:54.520
<v Speaker 2>I do believe that you know, causes for a very

0:44:54.719 --> 0:44:59.319
<v Speaker 2>stern talk, roping Alex back into what's important. No matter

0:44:59.360 --> 0:45:02.160
<v Speaker 2>what school work, you gotta be, you gotta get there.

0:45:02.280 --> 0:45:05.040
<v Speaker 2>But this is ridiculous.

0:45:05.120 --> 0:45:07.640
<v Speaker 1>I agree, and that's why it's ridiculous. That's why she's

0:45:07.640 --> 0:45:11.359
<v Speaker 1>in the Hall of Fame. Yeah before, Oh yeah, Now.

0:45:11.280 --> 0:45:15.000
<v Speaker 2>She's got a letterman jacket exactly, and a letter and

0:45:15.040 --> 0:45:15.760
<v Speaker 2>a trophy.

0:45:16.440 --> 0:45:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Congratulations, Doc, you suck. Rabbi Lewis promises if Alex's grades

0:45:22.120 --> 0:45:25.640
<v Speaker 1>don't turn around soon, he'll intervene personally. And now it's

0:45:25.680 --> 0:45:28.520
<v Speaker 1>game time. Coach Lamont in a beautiful white suit by

0:45:28.520 --> 0:45:30.279
<v Speaker 1>the way, is giving the team a pep talk in

0:45:30.320 --> 0:45:32.600
<v Speaker 1>the locker room. He makes them bark like dogs to

0:45:32.640 --> 0:45:34.279
<v Speaker 1>get ready. I guess you had to be there.

0:45:34.600 --> 0:45:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Awkward.

0:45:35.280 --> 0:45:39.560
<v Speaker 1>That's the night scene for nineties early two thousand. Yeah, but.

0:45:41.400 --> 0:45:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Are not comfortable.

0:45:42.960 --> 0:45:45.759
<v Speaker 1>They were like raw, Yeah, they're they're they're getting there.

0:45:45.800 --> 0:45:48.319
<v Speaker 1>They're getting there. They have to believe in theirselves. But

0:45:48.480 --> 0:45:51.400
<v Speaker 1>the big shocker here Alex has to sit out because

0:45:51.400 --> 0:45:54.400
<v Speaker 1>he's failing history class, which isn't because he got a

0:45:54.480 --> 0:45:56.759
<v Speaker 1>C minus, which doesn't make you fail. So I don't

0:45:56.760 --> 0:45:59.320
<v Speaker 1>know what's happening here anyway, The point is the Lions

0:45:59.320 --> 0:46:02.040
<v Speaker 1>will be without their star player. During the game, Alex

0:46:02.080 --> 0:46:04.319
<v Speaker 1>is sitting in the stands with Julie, still weirdly in

0:46:04.480 --> 0:46:07.720
<v Speaker 1>full uniform. He can't believe he isn't playing, but everyone

0:46:07.760 --> 0:46:10.080
<v Speaker 1>is playing better without him hogging the ball. He gets

0:46:10.120 --> 0:46:12.279
<v Speaker 1>into a little spat with Julie when she points that out,

0:46:12.520 --> 0:46:15.320
<v Speaker 1>and she leaves as a result. Also, the team loses. Also,

0:46:15.480 --> 0:46:17.560
<v Speaker 1>are Julian and Alex supposed to be crushing on each other?

0:46:17.640 --> 0:46:19.799
<v Speaker 1>I feel like there was an entire storyline removed from

0:46:19.840 --> 0:46:22.839
<v Speaker 1>the film and this was pointless. Are they friends? Are

0:46:22.840 --> 0:46:24.960
<v Speaker 1>they dating? Did she go to a different school? That

0:46:25.360 --> 0:46:28.080
<v Speaker 1>is she also Jewish? What is happening?

0:46:28.280 --> 0:46:31.480
<v Speaker 2>She goes to a different school? I mean they they

0:46:31.520 --> 0:46:34.640
<v Speaker 2>set it up from the like, you know, Asta Luego

0:46:34.880 --> 0:46:39.319
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, different they set up the different cultures. I

0:46:39.400 --> 0:46:42.120
<v Speaker 2>do like that being the dynamic of like a friendship

0:46:42.239 --> 0:46:46.560
<v Speaker 2>or possibly like a little you know, romance crush thing,

0:46:46.719 --> 0:46:49.880
<v Speaker 2>but it never goes anywhere. And in this fight that

0:46:49.960 --> 0:46:54.080
<v Speaker 2>we're seeing, they'd never talk about it after, so I

0:46:54.239 --> 0:46:57.719
<v Speaker 2>either it was cut or this writing was just they

0:46:57.920 --> 0:46:58.440
<v Speaker 2>I know what.

0:46:58.360 --> 0:47:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it was. You know what I frankly think

0:47:00.040 --> 0:47:03.560
<v Speaker 1>it was is they needed a girl his age exactly

0:47:03.680 --> 0:47:05.880
<v Speaker 1>because the only thing you remove her from the film

0:47:06.000 --> 0:47:08.680
<v Speaker 1>entirely and make every part she was doing one of

0:47:08.719 --> 0:47:10.560
<v Speaker 1>his friends, like in the beginning walking through the city

0:47:10.560 --> 0:47:13.719
<v Speaker 1>that stick, then you don't need her at all. I mean,

0:47:13.760 --> 0:47:16.320
<v Speaker 1>she's completely superfluous to the entire movie.

0:47:16.360 --> 0:47:18.600
<v Speaker 2>I think it was, like you said, Disney, wanting to

0:47:18.640 --> 0:47:20.760
<v Speaker 2>make sure that the girl was some type of girl.

0:47:20.840 --> 0:47:24.360
<v Speaker 2>But if she doesn't have a meaning or a purpose

0:47:24.560 --> 0:47:30.120
<v Speaker 2>other than to take over his right workload at the hospital.

0:47:30.480 --> 0:47:32.839
<v Speaker 1>That's it. Well, think about if she's not in the movie,

0:47:32.840 --> 0:47:35.160
<v Speaker 1>think about the only two other females in the movie.

0:47:35.200 --> 0:47:38.399
<v Speaker 1>It's missus Klein and his mom, who are both pretty awful. Yeah,

0:47:38.520 --> 0:47:43.200
<v Speaker 1>so unless you have some type of softer friend like

0:47:44.280 --> 0:47:47.279
<v Speaker 1>female in the movie, then it really makes women look

0:47:47.320 --> 0:47:49.839
<v Speaker 1>pretty terrible. It's because it's all men and the two

0:47:49.880 --> 0:47:54.239
<v Speaker 1>women that are there are whiny and authoritarian, and it's like, yeah,

0:47:54.239 --> 0:47:55.880
<v Speaker 1>you need to do something, but she just didn't give

0:47:55.880 --> 0:47:56.239
<v Speaker 1>her anything.

0:47:56.400 --> 0:47:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Just develop something for her, some kind of situation.

0:47:58.840 --> 0:48:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Something, whatever it is. Well, later that week, Rabbi Lewis

0:48:02.640 --> 0:48:04.920
<v Speaker 1>agrees to let Alex retake the history test, and so

0:48:04.960 --> 0:48:07.680
<v Speaker 1>his teammates help him study, suggesting he dribble a ball

0:48:07.719 --> 0:48:10.400
<v Speaker 1>while he memorizes facts since he's so good at remembering

0:48:10.440 --> 0:48:12.799
<v Speaker 1>and analyzing plays in the court. This also made no

0:48:12.880 --> 0:48:17.120
<v Speaker 1>sense to me because if he was a bad student,

0:48:18.160 --> 0:48:21.160
<v Speaker 1>they wouldn't be surprised that he got a C minus

0:48:21.200 --> 0:48:24.600
<v Speaker 1>and his grades wouldn't be slipping because of basketball. So

0:48:24.719 --> 0:48:27.919
<v Speaker 1>it means he's actually a good student and wouldn't need

0:48:27.960 --> 0:48:31.160
<v Speaker 1>his friend's help to have them study for the test.

0:48:31.680 --> 0:48:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think it's more so about.

0:48:35.360 --> 0:48:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean again, if he got to C minus and

0:48:37.200 --> 0:48:39.520
<v Speaker 1>his grades were slipping, that means he's a B B

0:48:39.640 --> 0:48:41.720
<v Speaker 1>plus student, So then why the hell of his friends

0:48:41.760 --> 0:48:42.800
<v Speaker 1>need to help him study?

0:48:43.040 --> 0:48:47.000
<v Speaker 2>So yes, so I think what the main reason was

0:48:47.000 --> 0:48:50.920
<v Speaker 2>was to have the team rally again, like rally for

0:48:51.080 --> 0:48:55.480
<v Speaker 2>him and be there to help him get his grade

0:48:55.520 --> 0:48:57.680
<v Speaker 2>back up. That's what it seemed like to me.

0:48:57.880 --> 0:49:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean that makes sense, but again, yeah, okay, I mean,

0:49:00.000 --> 0:49:02.279
<v Speaker 1>and I get what they're doing, but it's like he's

0:49:02.320 --> 0:49:05.479
<v Speaker 1>now then at the in the classroom pretending to bounce

0:49:05.520 --> 0:49:07.840
<v Speaker 1>a basketball like he's a terrible student he's gonna remember,

0:49:07.840 --> 0:49:10.439
<v Speaker 1>But he's not a terrible student. He's a good student

0:49:10.440 --> 0:49:11.920
<v Speaker 1>who's grades are slipping, so yeah, I don't know.

0:49:11.960 --> 0:49:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay that that was an eye roll for me. I know,

0:49:15.960 --> 0:49:18.520
<v Speaker 2>if he actually was sitting there bouncing, I think it

0:49:18.560 --> 0:49:21.480
<v Speaker 2>would have been a little bit easier. But he was like,

0:49:21.800 --> 0:49:23.040
<v Speaker 2>are you petting a dog?

0:49:23.160 --> 0:49:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Or yeah, it would and then the rabbi is doing

0:49:27.000 --> 0:49:28.880
<v Speaker 1>it behind him too. It was, yeah, that was a

0:49:28.920 --> 0:49:30.239
<v Speaker 1>little I don't know.

0:49:30.280 --> 0:49:30.719
<v Speaker 2>I didn't like.

0:49:30.880 --> 0:49:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't disagree, I don't disagree. But while at practice,

0:49:34.360 --> 0:49:36.000
<v Speaker 1>the team is still down from the loss. They don't

0:49:36.000 --> 0:49:38.680
<v Speaker 1>even know why they'd play without Alex, but Lamont convinces

0:49:38.719 --> 0:49:41.360
<v Speaker 1>him it's a team game, not just dependent on one player,

0:49:41.719 --> 0:49:44.600
<v Speaker 1>and so TJ will work on his technical foul issue,

0:49:44.719 --> 0:49:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Stick will work on his hook shot. Another teammate, Joker,

0:49:47.680 --> 0:49:50.000
<v Speaker 1>works on his trash talk, and when he instructs another

0:49:50.040 --> 0:49:53.200
<v Speaker 1>player to be the butt of the team for rebounds

0:49:53.200 --> 0:49:56.520
<v Speaker 1>and missus plyin overhears this weird suggestion, and mun's often

0:49:56.520 --> 0:50:01.640
<v Speaker 1>discussed because of course the word butt. Lamont also teaches

0:50:01.640 --> 0:50:04.200
<v Speaker 1>the squad a new, quote unquote downtown version of the

0:50:04.239 --> 0:50:07.959
<v Speaker 1>school song, and It's not good. Soon after Alex arrived

0:50:08.000 --> 0:50:10.439
<v Speaker 1>in the coach's office with his now graded makeup test,

0:50:10.640 --> 0:50:13.120
<v Speaker 1>he got a B plus he passed. He's ready to play.

0:50:13.680 --> 0:50:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Lamont cuts practice short to go play one on one

0:50:15.960 --> 0:50:18.200
<v Speaker 1>against a friend who's wearing a Raptor's jersey. This is

0:50:18.200 --> 0:50:20.160
<v Speaker 1>probably a nod to their location at Toronto, but worth

0:50:20.200 --> 0:50:23.760
<v Speaker 1>remembering they're supposed to be in Philly. At his next practice,

0:50:23.800 --> 0:50:25.799
<v Speaker 1>Lamont breaks some bad news. They're gonna have to play

0:50:25.800 --> 0:50:27.840
<v Speaker 1>in the tournament without him. That guy in the Raptor's

0:50:27.920 --> 0:50:30.239
<v Speaker 1>jersey was his friend who plays in the NBA and

0:50:30.280 --> 0:50:33.440
<v Speaker 1>now the Sixers, So why was not wearing a Raptors jersey?

0:50:33.680 --> 0:50:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Call him for a ten day contract, saying, just saying,

0:50:38.200 --> 0:50:39.440
<v Speaker 1>the kid, you know what I do. I play for

0:50:39.480 --> 0:50:42.360
<v Speaker 1>the Sixers, so I'm gonna wear an opposing team's jersey.

0:50:42.719 --> 0:50:45.279
<v Speaker 1>The kids are devastated, but deep down they're happy for him.

0:50:45.320 --> 0:50:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Missus Klein enters and sees their sadness. Alex tries to

0:50:48.400 --> 0:50:50.200
<v Speaker 1>reason with Lemot in the hallway, but coach says he

0:50:50.239 --> 0:50:51.840
<v Speaker 1>kept his word. He said he'd be there until the

0:50:51.840 --> 0:50:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Sixers reached out, and now they did. The two friends

0:50:54.120 --> 0:50:56.560
<v Speaker 1>call each other selfish. Alex wants him to focus on

0:50:56.600 --> 0:50:59.040
<v Speaker 1>coaching and his family, Lamont wanting the NBA to offer

0:50:59.040 --> 0:51:01.240
<v Speaker 1>a big contract money to help help his family. Lamont

0:51:01.280 --> 0:51:03.200
<v Speaker 1>says after the tournament he'd be back in the streets

0:51:03.200 --> 0:51:05.719
<v Speaker 1>since this gig is seasonal and the Sixers tryout is

0:51:05.719 --> 0:51:10.160
<v Speaker 1>a big break. Yes, it's a tryout for an NBA team.

0:51:10.880 --> 0:51:14.040
<v Speaker 2>See you to go and do that, I'm sorry and

0:51:14.400 --> 0:51:17.839
<v Speaker 2>I love you. Yes, I would. I will come back

0:51:17.840 --> 0:51:21.080
<v Speaker 2>and visit at times on my off season. I will

0:51:21.120 --> 0:51:23.200
<v Speaker 2>come back, but I gotta go.

0:51:23.640 --> 0:51:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, come on, let's figure something out. I'm a professional

0:51:28.200 --> 0:51:28.839
<v Speaker 1>basketball play.

0:51:28.880 --> 0:51:32.840
<v Speaker 2>It's not hard to see or think that a teenager

0:51:32.880 --> 0:51:35.919
<v Speaker 2>at that courge would not. I would have a hard

0:51:35.920 --> 0:51:37.280
<v Speaker 2>time seeing the bigger picture.

0:51:37.520 --> 0:51:39.239
<v Speaker 1>Of course I get it, but yeah, but I don't.

0:51:39.280 --> 0:51:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Everybody else has got to be like dude.

0:51:40.960 --> 0:51:44.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't blame Lamont. You gotta go pissed. If you didn't,

0:51:45.239 --> 0:51:45.799
<v Speaker 2>you gotta go.

0:51:46.360 --> 0:51:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Of course. Alex rushes off to ask his mom if

0:51:49.200 --> 0:51:51.200
<v Speaker 1>the school can hire Lamont as a full time coach,

0:51:51.280 --> 0:51:53.440
<v Speaker 1>but she says it's not something she can recommend. She

0:51:53.560 --> 0:51:57.560
<v Speaker 1>blames money and priorities, but it's obviously about Alex and basketball.

0:51:57.840 --> 0:51:59.840
<v Speaker 1>She says. Lamont ditched his family to chase an on

0:51:59.880 --> 0:52:02.840
<v Speaker 1>a achievable goal, and she thinks he's just a stranger.

0:52:03.600 --> 0:52:05.880
<v Speaker 1>With Rabbi Lewis recounting the lessons of Judah Maccabee in

0:52:05.920 --> 0:52:08.560
<v Speaker 1>his office, Alex realizes he can't imagine victory without his

0:52:08.600 --> 0:52:11.320
<v Speaker 1>own Judah to lead the way. But Rabbi Lewis suggests

0:52:11.360 --> 0:52:14.440
<v Speaker 1>that perhaps Judas's strength isn't something to look for in others,

0:52:14.520 --> 0:52:17.879
<v Speaker 1>it's something to uncover within yourself. Maybe Alex doesn't need

0:52:17.920 --> 0:52:21.120
<v Speaker 1>to find Judah, maybe he can be one. And that night,

0:52:21.160 --> 0:52:23.440
<v Speaker 1>another candle is lit for Hankah and Alex continues to

0:52:23.440 --> 0:52:25.880
<v Speaker 1>practice in the school gym. Coach Lamont catches him on

0:52:25.920 --> 0:52:27.959
<v Speaker 1>his way out and you can see his decision still

0:52:28.000 --> 0:52:30.920
<v Speaker 1>weighs heavy. And now's time for the Big Liberty Tournament

0:52:30.960 --> 0:52:33.200
<v Speaker 1>at the Hebrew Academy. There's lots of fans in the

0:52:33.200 --> 0:52:35.479
<v Speaker 1>stands now, and Alex is now doubling as a coach

0:52:35.480 --> 0:52:37.840
<v Speaker 1>for game one. The Lions take control early and they

0:52:37.960 --> 0:52:40.560
<v Speaker 1>chalk up wins in the first three games, finding themselves

0:52:40.600 --> 0:52:43.560
<v Speaker 1>in the semifinals. We see this during a montage. Okay,

0:52:43.640 --> 0:52:50.640
<v Speaker 1>stop everything right now. The whole point of this was

0:52:50.680 --> 0:52:54.120
<v Speaker 1>that they had not won a game in nineteen games.

0:52:55.160 --> 0:52:59.160
<v Speaker 1>They don't even address their first win. No, you just

0:52:59.280 --> 0:53:02.160
<v Speaker 1>won for the first time in forever, and it's just

0:53:02.239 --> 0:53:04.560
<v Speaker 1>thrown into a montage. We don't get oh my god,

0:53:04.600 --> 0:53:06.759
<v Speaker 1>we just won a game. They won. They just won

0:53:06.840 --> 0:53:07.200
<v Speaker 1>a game.

0:53:07.360 --> 0:53:11.719
<v Speaker 2>Nothing telling you. I literally was like, I mean, I

0:53:11.800 --> 0:53:14.799
<v Speaker 2>get it. They're keeping it pushing because this isn't the

0:53:14.840 --> 0:53:18.680
<v Speaker 2>big game, right, but there's acknowledge to be a moment

0:53:18.920 --> 0:53:21.799
<v Speaker 2>like we did it like this is I mean, you know,

0:53:23.719 --> 0:53:25.400
<v Speaker 2>they went through it so fast.

0:53:25.520 --> 0:53:26.759
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't believe it.

0:53:27.560 --> 0:53:29.759
<v Speaker 2>We get to that ninety minute mark if they had

0:53:29.760 --> 0:53:30.560
<v Speaker 2>gone if they had just.

0:53:30.520 --> 0:53:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Added one, I know, I know, but they that's the sea.

0:53:35.120 --> 0:53:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you cut the I hate to say this,

0:53:36.760 --> 0:53:39.719
<v Speaker 1>you cut the girl scenes out because she's not necessary. Yes,

0:53:39.960 --> 0:53:42.640
<v Speaker 1>and I get why she's there, but they've done nothing

0:53:42.640 --> 0:53:44.440
<v Speaker 1>with their story wise, so she really doesn't need to

0:53:44.480 --> 0:53:44.680
<v Speaker 1>be there.

0:53:44.719 --> 0:53:46.680
<v Speaker 2>You cut that out, or they cut her stuff to

0:53:46.800 --> 0:53:47.799
<v Speaker 2>make it ninety.

0:53:48.000 --> 0:53:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and then you jump, but then you have something

0:53:50.360 --> 0:53:51.880
<v Speaker 1>we just won there looking at each other like we

0:53:51.920 --> 0:53:54.080
<v Speaker 1>want a game. This is amazing. That was the whole

0:53:54.120 --> 0:53:56.759
<v Speaker 1>point is they were a winless team that just won,

0:53:57.239 --> 0:53:59.279
<v Speaker 1>and they blew past that like it was just part

0:53:59.280 --> 0:54:01.640
<v Speaker 1>of a montage. I couldn't believe it.

0:54:01.920 --> 0:54:04.799
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if it's because they were still wanting to

0:54:04.960 --> 0:54:08.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of hold back that excitement for the final.

0:54:09.040 --> 0:54:11.239
<v Speaker 1>But then they do another game where Alex is at

0:54:11.239 --> 0:54:13.360
<v Speaker 1>the free throw line and he's got to sync the

0:54:13.400 --> 0:54:15.239
<v Speaker 1>last two and that's not the last game either, So

0:54:15.239 --> 0:54:19.400
<v Speaker 1>what are they holding back? It's like, why, what the

0:54:19.440 --> 0:54:23.880
<v Speaker 1>hell is happening? They yeah, anyway, even when Alex has

0:54:23.920 --> 0:54:25.520
<v Speaker 1>put on the line, like I just said, to shoot

0:54:25.520 --> 0:54:28.520
<v Speaker 1>two free throws for the win with basically every character

0:54:28.520 --> 0:54:30.719
<v Speaker 1>in the gym, from Rabbi Lewis to Tyler to missus Klein,

0:54:30.800 --> 0:54:33.600
<v Speaker 1>he scores effortlessly and now they're going to the finals

0:54:33.600 --> 0:54:36.319
<v Speaker 1>to face their art rivals, the Warriors, which again I

0:54:36.360 --> 0:54:39.399
<v Speaker 1>get why they did it. But come on the next day,

0:54:39.440 --> 0:54:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Alex's mom walks into her office to find Alex staring

0:54:41.640 --> 0:54:43.880
<v Speaker 1>out the window. He lets her know they made the finals,

0:54:43.920 --> 0:54:46.160
<v Speaker 1>because of course, she hasn't been at a single game

0:54:46.640 --> 0:54:49.600
<v Speaker 1>nice and wonders why she doesn't trust him. He admits

0:54:49.560 --> 0:54:51.759
<v Speaker 1>will be almost impossible to make the NBA, but he

0:54:51.800 --> 0:54:55.239
<v Speaker 1>still wants her support. Valid She explains that when he

0:54:55.280 --> 0:54:57.000
<v Speaker 1>became a man at his bar mits foot was also

0:54:57.040 --> 0:54:59.280
<v Speaker 1>a step for her and letting go, and it's been difficult.

0:54:59.600 --> 0:55:02.000
<v Speaker 1>She want him to explain what basketball means to him,

0:55:02.400 --> 0:55:05.000
<v Speaker 1>and so he says, when the ball's in his hand,

0:55:05.120 --> 0:55:08.120
<v Speaker 1>everything around him just disappears. His entire life is right

0:55:08.160 --> 0:55:10.520
<v Speaker 1>there in that moment. It seems like maybe Cynthia is

0:55:10.680 --> 0:55:14.040
<v Speaker 1>finally possibly starting to understand, but I still hate her.

0:55:14.600 --> 0:55:17.120
<v Speaker 1>And then back at the borrow condo, coach Lamont is

0:55:17.320 --> 0:55:19.600
<v Speaker 1>icing his knees, still pining over his family. When he

0:55:19.640 --> 0:55:21.680
<v Speaker 1>calls home, he admits he's been doing some hard thinking

0:55:21.719 --> 0:55:24.480
<v Speaker 1>and he has an idea. And now it's a very

0:55:24.600 --> 0:55:26.759
<v Speaker 1>rainy day for the finals. It's once again a packed

0:55:26.800 --> 0:55:29.440
<v Speaker 1>house with Rabbi Lewis handing out school hats and this

0:55:29.520 --> 0:55:31.359
<v Speaker 1>is I thought was an opportunity that could they miss

0:55:31.400 --> 0:55:34.600
<v Speaker 1>to have school yamakas, but whatever, and then the Lions

0:55:34.680 --> 0:55:38.439
<v Speaker 1>take the court while performing an absolutely unhinged synchronized dance

0:55:38.480 --> 0:55:41.279
<v Speaker 1>to a dradal rap song. They made the Drado dradl

0:55:41.320 --> 0:55:43.120
<v Speaker 1>drade song into a rap song. It's up there with

0:55:43.160 --> 0:55:46.160
<v Speaker 1>the camp rock amphitheater move. So if anyone out there

0:55:46.239 --> 0:55:51.360
<v Speaker 1>enjoys making memes, well there you go. That one's on us. Sabrina.

0:55:51.480 --> 0:55:53.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean, legally, we have to ask because of our

0:55:53.320 --> 0:55:56.960
<v Speaker 1>contract with iHeart, you're our resident dance expert by the

0:55:57.000 --> 0:55:59.359
<v Speaker 1>Graham kidding, iHeart has nothing to do with it.

0:56:00.040 --> 0:56:01.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where you go like, that's not in this.

0:56:01.880 --> 0:56:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Scrit it's not at all. How where their dance moves

0:56:07.680 --> 0:56:08.120
<v Speaker 1>it was.

0:56:08.640 --> 0:56:13.960
<v Speaker 2>This was the most ridiculous. I was belly laughing, like

0:56:14.040 --> 0:56:19.239
<v Speaker 2>the entire the song was so bad, and here it

0:56:19.360 --> 0:56:22.680
<v Speaker 2>comes from normal, like out of nowhere. Up to this point,

0:56:23.239 --> 0:56:26.640
<v Speaker 2>I was it was mainly just what like a you know,

0:56:27.400 --> 0:56:30.680
<v Speaker 2>background noise up to this point, any kind of music

0:56:30.719 --> 0:56:34.480
<v Speaker 2>that they've played, right, nothing stuck out, wasn't any It

0:56:34.520 --> 0:56:37.120
<v Speaker 2>wasn't a part of the DCOM, which a lot of

0:56:37.160 --> 0:56:39.359
<v Speaker 2>times we do feel like it's almost a big part

0:56:39.400 --> 0:56:42.360
<v Speaker 2>of the DCOM is the style of style, trace and

0:56:42.400 --> 0:56:47.200
<v Speaker 2>all of that. This was out of nowhere, the most

0:56:47.280 --> 0:56:51.400
<v Speaker 2>ridiculous song, the most ridiculous scene. I had no idea

0:56:51.400 --> 0:56:54.280
<v Speaker 2>what I was watching, why it was happening to us,

0:56:54.480 --> 0:56:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Why did this have to happen. I don't know.

0:56:57.680 --> 0:56:58.680
<v Speaker 1>It was weird.

0:56:59.680 --> 0:57:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Why and these poor kids doing it like, oh no,

0:57:04.239 --> 0:57:09.280
<v Speaker 2>one looked comfortable. I can't imagine. It was comfortable on set,

0:57:09.480 --> 0:57:14.560
<v Speaker 2>like it just was like why why why? Yeah, why,

0:57:15.280 --> 0:57:18.600
<v Speaker 2>it's a basketball movie. Then no way did we need this,

0:57:19.840 --> 0:57:26.000
<v Speaker 2>No nor want it. No, take it back, take it back,

0:57:26.040 --> 0:57:26.640
<v Speaker 2>take it back.

0:57:27.000 --> 0:57:31.360
<v Speaker 1>It was so weird. And again when I started to

0:57:31.360 --> 0:57:33.200
<v Speaker 1>listening to the song, I was like, oh, it's dradl

0:57:33.280 --> 0:57:35.240
<v Speaker 1>dradl dradell. I made you want to clay as a

0:57:35.320 --> 0:57:38.880
<v Speaker 1>rap song. Yes, and then they're dancers. It was like, ooh,

0:57:38.920 --> 0:57:39.480
<v Speaker 1>these are not.

0:57:40.000 --> 0:57:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, oh my god.

0:57:43.680 --> 0:57:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it was not. You could have cut that and

0:57:45.760 --> 0:57:47.240
<v Speaker 1>that would have given you plenty of time to then

0:57:47.360 --> 0:57:52.760
<v Speaker 1>enjoy your win. There you go, there you go. Yeah,

0:57:52.920 --> 0:57:56.040
<v Speaker 1>mister Simowitz gives the Lions some pregame praise, reminding us

0:57:56.040 --> 0:57:58.600
<v Speaker 1>of their original terrible coach, and now here it is

0:57:58.840 --> 0:58:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Warriors versus Lion. We get a bit of a flashback

0:58:01.440 --> 0:58:03.000
<v Speaker 1>to the battle in Israel we saw at the beginning

0:58:03.040 --> 0:58:04.520
<v Speaker 1>of the movie, and we know this is going to

0:58:04.560 --> 0:58:07.520
<v Speaker 1>be a good one. And over at Alex's mom's office,

0:58:07.560 --> 0:58:11.880
<v Speaker 1>because she's still not at the championship game, she's with Julie,

0:58:11.880 --> 0:58:14.280
<v Speaker 1>who's apparently still in the shadow program. They're rushing out

0:58:14.280 --> 0:58:15.920
<v Speaker 1>of the office to make the game okay. There we go,

0:58:16.160 --> 0:58:18.320
<v Speaker 1>so at least they're going, but there's one thing that

0:58:18.360 --> 0:58:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Cynthia has to do first. And speaking of the game,

0:58:20.920 --> 0:58:23.400
<v Speaker 1>the lines are unfortunately down twelve early Tyler and their

0:58:23.400 --> 0:58:25.840
<v Speaker 1>warriors are as good as advertised. Alex spots Julian in

0:58:25.840 --> 0:58:28.360
<v Speaker 1>the stand. She's holding a sign that reads Miracles can happen,

0:58:28.360 --> 0:58:30.560
<v Speaker 1>and I shouldn't even be in this movie, and then

0:58:30.880 --> 0:58:32.959
<v Speaker 1>I'll that's not what the sign says. It just says

0:58:33.000 --> 0:58:37.760
<v Speaker 1>miracles can happen. And then almost like miracles can happen,

0:58:38.200 --> 0:58:42.080
<v Speaker 1>thunder and lightning storms up and ramps up. Outside we're

0:58:42.080 --> 0:58:44.280
<v Speaker 1>transported to what is supposed to be the first Union

0:58:44.320 --> 0:58:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Center of Philadelphia, but it's definitely not because they're filming

0:58:46.960 --> 0:58:49.440
<v Speaker 1>in Canada. It's after a Sixers game and a visiting

0:58:49.440 --> 0:58:52.080
<v Speaker 1>player is signing an autograph for a young fan. Cynthia

0:58:52.080 --> 0:58:54.080
<v Speaker 1>pulls up in her card asks if she's seen Lamont.

0:58:54.240 --> 0:58:56.720
<v Speaker 1>The player suggests looking inside, but she has one question

0:58:56.800 --> 0:58:59.000
<v Speaker 1>for the random six foot nine pro. What would he

0:58:59.040 --> 0:59:01.080
<v Speaker 1>say to a fourteen year old five foot tall kid

0:59:01.120 --> 0:59:03.560
<v Speaker 1>who wants to play in the NBA? He answers sign

0:59:03.640 --> 0:59:06.040
<v Speaker 1>him up. He's a big dreamer. She smiles and gets

0:59:06.040 --> 0:59:07.400
<v Speaker 1>an autograph for Alex and.

0:59:07.360 --> 0:59:10.520
<v Speaker 2>We're still wondering where the security guards are for security?

0:59:10.880 --> 0:59:13.600
<v Speaker 1>This guy actually was Was he an actual basketball player?

0:59:13.960 --> 0:59:17.439
<v Speaker 2>The guy on the card, That's what I was thinking.

0:59:17.720 --> 0:59:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Was he Doctor J. Doctor J is that was on

0:59:20.200 --> 0:59:22.520
<v Speaker 2>the card is a real NBA player.

0:59:25.640 --> 0:59:27.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, I'm passive because I'm letting you. I'm letting you.

0:59:28.240 --> 0:59:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Did you freeze again? Are you asking me if Julius

0:59:31.520 --> 0:59:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Irving doctor J is a real basketball player? Yes, yes, yes,

0:59:39.720 --> 0:59:47.360
<v Speaker 1>doctor AULI. Yes, he's arguably, well not arguably, he's one

0:59:47.400 --> 0:59:49.400
<v Speaker 1>of the best players that's ever played the game and

0:59:49.480 --> 0:59:50.640
<v Speaker 1>one of the most Doctor J.

0:59:51.280 --> 0:59:53.880
<v Speaker 2>He's not been in any of the documentaries that I've

0:59:53.880 --> 0:59:56.280
<v Speaker 2>watched in basketball. They've never brought this guy up.

0:59:56.360 --> 0:59:58.240
<v Speaker 1>So you know Magic Johnson is.

0:59:58.320 --> 1:00:00.200
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I know who Magic Johnson is.

1:00:00.360 --> 1:00:02.280
<v Speaker 1>He played with doctor J. It was the two of them.

1:00:02.680 --> 1:00:07.000
<v Speaker 1>They were like Kobe and Shaq. Oh wow, yeah he was.

1:00:07.360 --> 1:00:11.680
<v Speaker 1>He was the man. He was at Lisa, I don't

1:00:11.680 --> 1:00:13.880
<v Speaker 1>watch basketball much and I even know who he is.

1:00:14.600 --> 1:00:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, producer, Lisa. Doctor J. He's doctor J. Okay,

1:00:17.720 --> 1:00:19.080
<v Speaker 1>So this guy wasn't him?

1:00:19.160 --> 1:00:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Clearly?

1:00:19.880 --> 1:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>No? No, again, that's the the seventies and the eighties

1:00:23.880 --> 1:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>is when Doctor j played Okay, okay, And now back

1:00:27.280 --> 1:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>to reality. We are back in the gym. The Lions

1:00:29.960 --> 1:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>are now down eighteen and the storm is getting much worse.

1:00:33.000 --> 1:00:36.160
<v Speaker 1>And that's when the electricity goes out in the gymnasium.

1:00:36.240 --> 1:00:38.440
<v Speaker 1>That's how I'm gonna say it. Meanwhile, back at the

1:00:38.440 --> 1:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>fake First Union Center, which is what we're calling it,

1:00:40.360 --> 1:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>she finally tracks down Lamott, who's tending to his van

1:00:43.440 --> 1:00:45.560
<v Speaker 1>now with the smoking engine. He says the car won't

1:00:45.600 --> 1:00:47.760
<v Speaker 1>start and he's gotten rushed to the airport. He just

1:00:47.840 --> 1:00:49.840
<v Speaker 1>had the engine fixed, so this doesn't make any sense,

1:00:49.880 --> 1:00:52.480
<v Speaker 1>but Cynthia thinks it does. She asked him to try

1:00:52.480 --> 1:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>the engine again, and this time it does start. We're

1:00:55.160 --> 1:00:56.720
<v Speaker 1>in the midst of what appears to be a divine

1:00:56.760 --> 1:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>intervention for a mid level high school basketball tournament in

1:00:59.520 --> 1:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>philadelp God certainly works in mysterious ways. Back at school,

1:01:04.000 --> 1:01:05.560
<v Speaker 1>the staff is trying to get the power back on.

1:01:05.720 --> 1:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>If they can't resume the game, the Warriors will be

1:01:08.280 --> 1:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>crowned champions. But then an alternative is suggested. They could

1:01:12.000 --> 1:01:15.600
<v Speaker 1>start the emergency generator and play until the fuel runs out, which,

1:01:15.640 --> 1:01:18.480
<v Speaker 1>upon further investigation would be very quick. The school decides

1:01:18.480 --> 1:01:20.600
<v Speaker 1>that no matter how much time is on the official clock,

1:01:20.640 --> 1:01:24.040
<v Speaker 1>when the generator does run out, whoever's winning gets the trophy,

1:01:24.040 --> 1:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>which is an absolute stupid decision considering the Lions are

1:01:26.920 --> 1:01:29.520
<v Speaker 1>getting blown out. This makes no sense.

1:01:29.400 --> 1:01:30.200
<v Speaker 2>It makes no sense.

1:01:30.600 --> 1:01:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Hate it.

1:01:31.440 --> 1:01:33.800
<v Speaker 2>I hate the worst idea ever.

1:01:34.040 --> 1:01:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Yep. But yet both teams agree and the power is

1:01:36.080 --> 1:01:38.240
<v Speaker 1>temporarily back on with no idea how much is left.

1:01:38.440 --> 1:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Mister Simmowitz is left in charge of the generator outside

1:01:41.200 --> 1:01:43.720
<v Speaker 1>and the game resumes, which leads me to believe or

1:01:43.800 --> 1:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>not believe, but think, Okay, we've got a generator that's

1:01:48.120 --> 1:01:51.560
<v Speaker 1>running out of fuel. Go get more fuel. You're in

1:01:51.600 --> 1:01:54.120
<v Speaker 1>the middle of Philadelphia. You're probably three minutes from a

1:01:54.120 --> 1:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>gas station. Go get more fuel.

1:01:56.800 --> 1:01:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Right, What is this like? Specific few? I mean, I

1:01:59.200 --> 1:02:03.520
<v Speaker 2>know zero. I know nothing about a doctor basketball, I

1:02:03.760 --> 1:02:05.840
<v Speaker 2>know zero about generators.

1:02:06.040 --> 1:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>See, it's either a regular gas or a diesel generator,

1:02:08.400 --> 1:02:10.080
<v Speaker 1>in which case you go a gas station, you fill

1:02:10.080 --> 1:02:11.760
<v Speaker 1>it up, fill up your stuff, and then you go.

1:02:12.760 --> 1:02:14.800
<v Speaker 1>And it's also it's you know, I get what they're doing.

1:02:14.800 --> 1:02:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Of course it's supposed to mirror Hanika and the maccabees.

1:02:17.240 --> 1:02:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Of course I understand that, but address the fact that

1:02:21.440 --> 1:02:24.000
<v Speaker 1>everything's closed. There's no power, so none of the gas

1:02:24.040 --> 1:02:27.800
<v Speaker 1>stations are working something because it's like, you stay here,

1:02:27.960 --> 1:02:31.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna run and go get more fuel. That's it. Yes,

1:02:32.080 --> 1:02:35.240
<v Speaker 1>that's it. Phone a friend, Yes, exactly. So it's not

1:02:35.280 --> 1:02:37.720
<v Speaker 1>a good it's yeah right, I'd like to lifeline please,

1:02:37.720 --> 1:02:39.760
<v Speaker 1>because it wasn't it's not a good idea to let

1:02:39.800 --> 1:02:41.640
<v Speaker 1>them play when they're down by eighteen, and it's not

1:02:41.680 --> 1:02:43.240
<v Speaker 1>a good idea to just not go get more fuel.

1:02:43.280 --> 1:02:46.680
<v Speaker 1>But I get what they're doing right anyway. Like I said,

1:02:47.160 --> 1:02:49.800
<v Speaker 1>mister Simowitz is left in charge and the generator outside,

1:02:50.000 --> 1:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>and the game resumes. The Lion's going to run quickly,

1:02:52.840 --> 1:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>cutting the lead to ten while the lights glitch sporadically

1:02:55.320 --> 1:02:58.960
<v Speaker 1>fighting through the outage. Outside, Mister Simowits watches the fuel disappear,

1:02:58.960 --> 1:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>and then he realizes something. He rushes inside the gym

1:03:01.160 --> 1:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>and calls a time out, which apparently that's something anyone

1:03:04.000 --> 1:03:06.360
<v Speaker 1>can do, so the next time you're on an NBA game,

1:03:06.440 --> 1:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>try it. I'd like to see how that works. Simowitz

1:03:09.480 --> 1:03:11.640
<v Speaker 1>huddles the team together and says, thanks to algebra, he's

1:03:11.640 --> 1:03:13.680
<v Speaker 1>figure out exactly how much time the Generator has left.

1:03:13.680 --> 1:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>They have two minutes and forty five well now forty

1:03:15.560 --> 1:03:17.920
<v Speaker 1>three seconds left, and they spend an awful lot of

1:03:17.960 --> 1:03:20.040
<v Speaker 1>time doing this. As the time is running out, the

1:03:20.080 --> 1:03:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Lions hustle back on court, knowing their time is short,

1:03:22.400 --> 1:03:24.640
<v Speaker 1>and just when the play resumes, Tyler thinks on his

1:03:24.680 --> 1:03:27.160
<v Speaker 1>toes and calls a timeout for the Warriors. Their game

1:03:27.160 --> 1:03:29.480
<v Speaker 1>plan is to stall and run the Generator to death, which,

1:03:29.560 --> 1:03:32.919
<v Speaker 1>let's be honest, is the mindset of a champion, right?

1:03:33.000 --> 1:03:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Really is? The Lions think this isn't fair, and it's

1:03:36.880 --> 1:03:39.240
<v Speaker 1>not fair. It's a game, that's how it works. There

1:03:39.240 --> 1:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>are five minutes left in the game clock, but less

1:03:41.000 --> 1:03:43.000
<v Speaker 1>than a minute left of fuel, and now totally defeated,

1:03:43.040 --> 1:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Alex takes the bench, so much for the miracle, and

1:03:45.920 --> 1:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>then a beam of light appears at the gym door.

1:03:48.520 --> 1:03:51.320
<v Speaker 1>It's Coach Lamont. He wonders if the whole story about

1:03:51.320 --> 1:03:53.320
<v Speaker 1>the maccabe's was made up? How did the light and

1:03:53.360 --> 1:03:56.080
<v Speaker 1>the temples they miraculously lit for eight days? The boys

1:03:56.120 --> 1:03:57.920
<v Speaker 1>don't want to hear fairy tales. With less than fifteen

1:03:57.920 --> 1:04:00.560
<v Speaker 1>seconds of fuel left, but Alex almost possessed by the

1:04:00.560 --> 1:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>spirit of Judah, walks onto the court as the Warriors

1:04:03.360 --> 1:04:05.320
<v Speaker 1>count down in the last ten seconds of light, and

1:04:05.480 --> 1:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>right on cue, the generator stops and the lights go

1:04:07.720 --> 1:04:11.040
<v Speaker 1>out once again. The Warriors celebrate their win, but then

1:04:11.320 --> 1:04:13.600
<v Speaker 1>just as quickly as it's turned off, despite having no

1:04:13.680 --> 1:04:16.600
<v Speaker 1>fuel left, the generator starts again. The gym now shines

1:04:16.640 --> 1:04:19.520
<v Speaker 1>with no explanation, just like the lights that inspired Hanukkah,

1:04:19.760 --> 1:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>and no one questions it. The game starts back up.

1:04:22.600 --> 1:04:25.320
<v Speaker 1>The Glides continue the game with Lamont coaching again, getting

1:04:25.360 --> 1:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>them within six points. Mister Simwitz is still outside, totally

1:04:28.440 --> 1:04:31.400
<v Speaker 1>confused by the fuellless generator. From the stands, missus Klein

1:04:31.520 --> 1:04:33.959
<v Speaker 1>yell shakes some booty for little to no reason at all,

1:04:34.240 --> 1:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>and now Alex makes it a one point game fifty

1:04:36.720 --> 1:04:39.400
<v Speaker 1>four to fifty three, but the Generator is struggling once again.

1:04:39.480 --> 1:04:41.800
<v Speaker 1>With ten seconds left in the game clock, Cynthia enters

1:04:41.840 --> 1:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the gym just as Alex gets the ball. You have

1:04:44.040 --> 1:04:46.640
<v Speaker 1>to wonder what the hell took her so long. Anyway,

1:04:46.760 --> 1:04:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Alex is perfectly defended and can't find a shot, so

1:04:50.000 --> 1:04:52.000
<v Speaker 1>instead of just forcing it like he used to, he

1:04:52.080 --> 1:04:54.840
<v Speaker 1>decides to trust his teammates and passes to Stick, who

1:04:54.920 --> 1:04:57.360
<v Speaker 1>attempts his hook shot. While the ball travels to the hoop,

1:04:57.480 --> 1:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>the generator dies again and the lights go out. The

1:04:59.600 --> 1:05:03.040
<v Speaker 1>score erupts and sparks, leaving only a light to see

1:05:03.080 --> 1:05:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the ball go in the hoop. The Lions went at

1:05:06.000 --> 1:05:08.360
<v Speaker 1>the buzzer, and in the celebration, we notice Julie has

1:05:08.440 --> 1:05:11.640
<v Speaker 1>changed her sign. It now reads miracles do happen and

1:05:11.680 --> 1:05:14.360
<v Speaker 1>I still don't belong in this movie. The Lions hold

1:05:14.440 --> 1:05:16.680
<v Speaker 1>up their trophy as coach Lamon explains he was able

1:05:16.720 --> 1:05:18.800
<v Speaker 1>to speed to the game because Cynthia took care of

1:05:18.840 --> 1:05:21.360
<v Speaker 1>what he needed to do at the airport. It's revealed

1:05:21.360 --> 1:05:25.000
<v Speaker 1>that Lamont's family is now in town, and this is

1:05:25.040 --> 1:05:28.120
<v Speaker 1>all thanks to Cynthia that they're there, and that's obviously

1:05:28.160 --> 1:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>why she was late to the game, so it's nice

1:05:30.080 --> 1:05:32.160
<v Speaker 1>that she cared more about another family than her own.

1:05:32.720 --> 1:05:36.240
<v Speaker 1>As Lamont regnites, it's true. As Lamont reunites with his family,

1:05:36.280 --> 1:05:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Cynthia says she plans on convincing Rabbi Lewis to hire

1:05:38.920 --> 1:05:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Lamont as a full time coach. He admits he has

1:05:41.160 --> 1:05:43.200
<v Speaker 1>a new dream. He has bad neees and a boy

1:05:43.200 --> 1:05:45.880
<v Speaker 1>who needs his dad around. So East Hebrew is looking

1:05:45.880 --> 1:05:48.080
<v Speaker 1>pretty good to him. The movie ends with Alex and

1:05:48.120 --> 1:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>his family shooting hoops with Lamontz family outside of Alex's house.

1:05:51.280 --> 1:05:55.120
<v Speaker 1>We get some quick narration about Hanukkah and that's our movie. Look, hi,

1:05:55.160 --> 1:06:05.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm everyone, and now are real reviews. I've got the

1:06:05.920 --> 1:06:09.160

<v Speaker 1>It's from Perfect Dark zero fan and it says, hallelujah,

<v Speaker 1>Right on the money. Thank you very much for you know,

<v Speaker 1>not only saying that but also not even writing your

1:06:41.160 --> 1:06:43.440
<v Speaker 1>name down. What a weird review.

<v Speaker 2>Anyways, of your own time.

1:06:45.240 --> 1:06:47.840
<v Speaker 1>It is your and our time as well. Now, thank you, nomad.

<v Speaker 1>So now we are two. Sabrina's favorite part and I

1:06:51.200 --> 1:06:53.160
<v Speaker 1>already see where this is going. This is gonna be

1:06:53.160 --> 1:06:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a tough week.

1:06:54.120 --> 1:06:55.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm Jensen's not here today.

1:06:55.960 --> 1:06:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I know we don't have producer Jensen here. Who's who's

1:06:58.960 --> 1:07:01.240
<v Speaker 1>written up our our our feature. Who is going to

1:07:01.280 --> 1:07:02.360
<v Speaker 1>be helping us this week?

1:07:03.160 --> 1:07:03.480
<v Speaker 2>It's me?

1:07:04.160 --> 1:07:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yay, So here we go. Our feature this week

1:07:07.760 --> 1:07:11.480
<v Speaker 1>is called happy Hebrew to celebrate the inclusion of Judaism

1:07:11.480 --> 1:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>and Hanukkah in this week's d com. We have been

1:07:13.800 --> 1:07:17.080
<v Speaker 1>given a Hebrew word, and for multiple choice options, we

1:07:17.120 --> 1:07:19.080
<v Speaker 1>have to pick what it means three out of five wins.

1:07:19.720 --> 1:07:23.320
<v Speaker 1>I am going to preface everything I say now by

1:07:23.360 --> 1:07:27.560
<v Speaker 1>apologizing profusely for pronunciation. I'm sure I'm going to be

1:07:27.600 --> 1:07:30.320
<v Speaker 1>getting all of these wrong, and I am so sorry.

1:07:30.880 --> 1:07:31.720
<v Speaker 1>So here we go.

1:07:32.000 --> 1:07:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Better better you than me, because I would absolutely butcher these.

1:07:36.080 --> 1:07:37.040
<v Speaker 2>There's way I could.

1:07:37.320 --> 1:07:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Here we go.

1:07:37.960 --> 1:07:40.240
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna have a much better success than I could have.

1:07:40.360 --> 1:07:42.560
<v Speaker 1>The first one Producer Jensen wrote for us is not

1:07:42.640 --> 1:07:45.440
<v Speaker 1>even part of the game. It's just to get us rolling,

1:07:45.480 --> 1:07:50.760
<v Speaker 1>and it's be hatch latcha. I'm sure all that is wrong,

1:07:50.800 --> 1:07:53.720
<v Speaker 1>but that apparently means good luck in Hebrew. And I

1:07:53.840 --> 1:07:57.680
<v Speaker 1>again cannot apologize enough for my pronunciation. So here we go.

1:07:57.760 --> 1:08:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Number one ah ah vah uh Java. I don't know

1:08:04.440 --> 1:08:07.680
<v Speaker 1>if I'm saying that right. Is it a persistence B

1:08:08.400 --> 1:08:13.120
<v Speaker 1>love or see you're welcome, go as c oh, I'm sorry?

1:08:13.200 --> 1:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Or D slam dunk, which again we know it's not

1:08:15.600 --> 1:08:19.920
<v Speaker 1>that A java. You're gonna say, see you're welcome. I'm

1:08:19.920 --> 1:08:23.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna go. I'm gonna agree with you. I'm gonna say,

1:08:23.400 --> 1:08:24.040
<v Speaker 1>see you're welcome.

1:08:24.960 --> 1:08:26.439
<v Speaker 2>The answer is B love.

1:08:27.760 --> 1:08:30.519
<v Speaker 1>Okay. Number two, this is gonna be a rough week.

1:08:30.840 --> 1:08:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Number two, ma yim, ma yim. Is it a dream,

1:08:36.479 --> 1:08:43.240
<v Speaker 1>B fire, seawater or D double dribble A dream. I'm

1:08:43.280 --> 1:08:44.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna say it's.

1:08:44.040 --> 1:08:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Seawater, it is cwater?

1:08:48.400 --> 1:08:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Got one? Okay? Number three? Bay yeat, bay yeat? Is

1:08:54.080 --> 1:08:58.520
<v Speaker 1>that a home? C car, C shoe or d alop?

1:09:00.040 --> 1:09:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Do you think that any of these would be basketball?

1:09:03.680 --> 1:09:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they have Jewish like they must. I mean,

1:09:07.120 --> 1:09:10.759
<v Speaker 1>I imagine there's got to be Yiddish words for Hebrew, Yiddish

1:09:10.760 --> 1:09:13.599
<v Speaker 1>words for basketball. I would imagine. I'm gonna say it's

1:09:13.640 --> 1:09:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I'll go first this time. I'm gonna say it's a home.

1:09:16.280 --> 1:09:20.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go with a home. Two It is a home. Yes,

1:09:20.760 --> 1:09:21.599
<v Speaker 2>at least got one?

1:09:21.840 --> 1:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I need I need one or two more to win.

1:09:24.640 --> 1:09:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Number four yom y o h m yom. Again, I

1:09:29.200 --> 1:09:31.760
<v Speaker 1>can just only apologize for how I'm sure I'm mispronouncing

1:09:31.760 --> 1:09:35.080
<v Speaker 1>all of these. Is it a day, B night, C

1:09:35.400 --> 1:09:43.960
<v Speaker 1>brunch or D free throw? Yom? Oh? Wait, oh wait, yeah,

1:09:44.040 --> 1:09:46.080
<v Speaker 1>so I think that's the sort of like yom kippor

1:09:46.160 --> 1:09:47.880
<v Speaker 1>is that the same kind of thing without mean night?

1:09:48.280 --> 1:09:49.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say b night.

1:09:50.840 --> 1:09:54.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that brunches is it?

1:09:54.800 --> 1:09:57.320
<v Speaker 1>It's totally but I'm gonna say b night.

1:09:58.040 --> 1:10:00.719
<v Speaker 2>It's a day, okay?

1:10:00.880 --> 1:10:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Is that the same as you kipor? I wonder if

1:10:02.600 --> 1:10:05.599
<v Speaker 1>that's how you started. And then number five is ave

1:10:05.600 --> 1:10:10.920
<v Speaker 1>a ra ave ave ra, which is kind? Is that

1:10:11.040 --> 1:10:15.160
<v Speaker 1>a clean a kind? See unhappy or de personal foul?

1:10:16.040 --> 1:10:20.679
<v Speaker 1>You're saying be kind kind on five, I'm gonna say

1:10:21.760 --> 1:10:23.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna agree. I'm gonna say be kind.

1:10:24.040 --> 1:10:26.639
<v Speaker 2>So you asked if there are any basketball terms in here.

1:10:27.479 --> 1:10:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen man way to go, producer Jensen. So

1:10:34.360 --> 1:10:37.200
<v Speaker 1>we both what's the what's the the Hebrew word for lost?

1:10:37.280 --> 1:10:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Because that's what we just did. Uh, can we do

1:10:39.640 --> 1:10:40.400
<v Speaker 1>some sabrinas?

1:10:40.439 --> 1:10:48.439
<v Speaker 2>C's Oh my gosh, okay, yes, one thing we didn't

1:10:48.479 --> 1:10:53.280
<v Speaker 2>talk about at all. And I think it's worth just

1:10:53.400 --> 1:11:00.200
<v Speaker 2>speaking on this kid was tiny compared to every one.

1:11:01.160 --> 1:11:03.680
<v Speaker 2>What I guess this is sort of more of just

1:11:03.760 --> 1:11:07.960
<v Speaker 2>like you know, obviously it's not hard to not see that,

1:11:08.040 --> 1:11:11.479
<v Speaker 2>But what do you think the significance and the reason why?

1:11:12.560 --> 1:11:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Do you really think it was just because that's the

1:11:15.080 --> 1:11:17.160
<v Speaker 2>actor that they wanted. Do you feel like it was

1:11:17.200 --> 1:11:19.080
<v Speaker 2>to help make Lamont look taller?

1:11:20.479 --> 1:11:22.519
<v Speaker 1>I think it's probably a combination. It's supposed to be

1:11:22.560 --> 1:11:24.679
<v Speaker 1>the actor and it's supposed to be the ultimate underdog story.

1:11:24.760 --> 1:11:28.160
<v Speaker 1>So obviously the smaller he is because all of his friends.

1:11:28.479 --> 1:11:30.360
<v Speaker 2>And then that that brings me to the next do

1:11:30.400 --> 1:11:32.840
<v Speaker 2>you honestly feel like these kids look like they were

1:11:32.840 --> 1:11:33.639
<v Speaker 2>in high school?

1:11:35.439 --> 1:11:38.280
<v Speaker 1>See, it's funny I freshmen, Yeah, freshmen.

1:11:38.320 --> 1:11:40.920
<v Speaker 2>I think could be freshman. He did it look like

1:11:40.960 --> 1:11:44.600
<v Speaker 2>a freshman though. But then at the same time, and

1:11:44.680 --> 1:11:45.599
<v Speaker 2>a seventh eighth.

1:11:45.400 --> 1:11:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Grader, nobody in the school looked particularly older, you know

1:11:50.320 --> 1:11:53.360
<v Speaker 1>what I mean? Like it all worked all the atmosphere

1:11:53.400 --> 1:11:55.360
<v Speaker 1>and everybody all kind of looked the same age. Ringe.

1:11:55.400 --> 1:11:59.320
<v Speaker 1>But had they made this middle school, it seemed like

1:11:59.320 --> 1:12:01.000
<v Speaker 1>it would have been it would have made more sense.

1:12:01.040 --> 1:12:02.759
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, because they did, they all looked younger.

1:12:03.200 --> 1:12:06.840
<v Speaker 2>I agree, because and you don't really get into it

1:12:06.880 --> 1:12:10.200
<v Speaker 2>because I felt like it was a junior high knowing

1:12:10.560 --> 1:12:13.080
<v Speaker 2>that like not a lot of the decoms of this

1:12:13.280 --> 1:12:15.840
<v Speaker 2>time were set in a high school. They were mainly

1:12:16.640 --> 1:12:19.719
<v Speaker 2>you know, junior high, right, And then all of a sudden,

1:12:19.720 --> 1:12:23.439
<v Speaker 2>they're starting talking about pre s A t's and I went, wait, right,

1:12:23.840 --> 1:12:26.120
<v Speaker 2>and then it was like, oh, they're in high school.

1:12:26.240 --> 1:12:28.640
<v Speaker 2>So that kind of just was a little like, I

1:12:28.840 --> 1:12:34.439
<v Speaker 2>really honestly don't know. Another thing that talking about bringing

1:12:34.520 --> 1:12:40.080
<v Speaker 2>up our our mom again is when she cooks like

1:12:40.280 --> 1:12:44.840
<v Speaker 2>the fastest cooking of of an egg go it goes

1:12:44.880 --> 1:12:47.880
<v Speaker 2>in there for five seconds and then goes on. First

1:12:47.880 --> 1:12:49.799
<v Speaker 2>of all, you're supposed to toast eggos.

1:12:49.880 --> 1:12:51.519
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's the point is she can't cook it all.

1:12:51.600 --> 1:12:53.479
<v Speaker 1>So she puts it in the microwave for like ten seconds,

1:12:53.479 --> 1:12:54.439
<v Speaker 1>and that's why he drops it.

1:12:54.479 --> 1:12:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Likedk okay, yeah, it's it's.

1:12:57.040 --> 1:12:59.040
<v Speaker 1>It was supposed to be that she literally can't even

1:12:59.040 --> 1:13:00.320
<v Speaker 1>cook an eggo waffle.

1:13:00.280 --> 1:13:03.320
<v Speaker 2>But it was like so fast and just like holy cow. Yeah,

1:13:03.360 --> 1:13:06.800
<v Speaker 2>so all right, so they made that one and then

1:13:06.960 --> 1:13:11.439
<v Speaker 2>two more things. His bed that he had in this

1:13:11.520 --> 1:13:16.000
<v Speaker 2>movie was hilarious. It was like it looked like a cobble.

1:13:16.120 --> 1:13:21.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean it was this the cobblestone bed post that

1:13:21.720 --> 1:13:26.280
<v Speaker 2>was like round arched. It was like this castle looking

1:13:27.000 --> 1:13:30.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to go for like a temple, like if

1:13:30.600 --> 1:13:33.000
<v Speaker 2>we're going back into like what the like, you know.

1:13:33.120 --> 1:13:35.400
<v Speaker 2>The flashbacks kind of were like of something like that,

1:13:35.439 --> 1:13:38.000
<v Speaker 2>but it was like the most absurd.

1:13:37.680 --> 1:13:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Bed I didn't even notice.

1:13:41.200 --> 1:13:43.559
<v Speaker 2>The last thing or well there's two more. Sorry again,

1:13:43.680 --> 1:13:47.160
<v Speaker 2>the last thing is did you notice? And I don't

1:13:47.200 --> 1:13:49.320
<v Speaker 2>know if I was just I rewatched it a couple

1:13:49.360 --> 1:13:50.920
<v Speaker 2>of times trying to figure out what was going on.

1:13:50.960 --> 1:13:54.400
<v Speaker 2>When Lamont is having like he's icing his knee, he's

1:13:54.560 --> 1:13:59.040
<v Speaker 2>he's been playing or whatever, and then the phone. He's

1:13:59.080 --> 1:14:03.120
<v Speaker 2>on the phone at one point and the words are, hey, sweetie,

1:14:03.120 --> 1:14:06.280
<v Speaker 2>how are you doing? But it's a man's voice, but

1:14:06.320 --> 1:14:10.240
<v Speaker 2>it's supposed to be his wife, but it was like

1:14:10.840 --> 1:14:12.880
<v Speaker 2>literally it sounded like it was like it was like

1:14:12.880 --> 1:14:15.160
<v Speaker 2>the So I wasn't sure if it was like him

1:14:15.240 --> 1:14:19.960
<v Speaker 2>saying that, but the voiceover didn't connector but it was

1:14:20.080 --> 1:14:23.760
<v Speaker 2>definitely a man's voice. But then he's answering to it,

1:14:23.880 --> 1:14:26.280
<v Speaker 2>so like I don't know it was very confusing. I

1:14:26.280 --> 1:14:28.040
<v Speaker 2>rewatched it a couple of times to figure out what

1:14:28.080 --> 1:14:30.679
<v Speaker 2>was going on because it just popped out like so crazy.

1:14:31.080 --> 1:14:33.280
<v Speaker 2>And then my last thing is when you go on

1:14:33.320 --> 1:14:35.439
<v Speaker 2>Disney Plus, do you ever watched the trailer?

1:14:36.400 --> 1:14:38.960
<v Speaker 1>But occasionally I did not watch this one, but occasionally

1:14:39.000 --> 1:14:39.519
<v Speaker 1>I will do it.

1:14:39.720 --> 1:14:43.640
<v Speaker 2>The trailer for this movie gives you really not a

1:14:43.640 --> 1:14:46.200
<v Speaker 2>lot of insight on what's going to happen. It says,

1:14:46.880 --> 1:14:51.280
<v Speaker 2>I forget what the little quick one sentence of you know,

1:14:51.479 --> 1:14:57.439
<v Speaker 2>like ex basketball star right coaches a Jewish you know,

1:14:57.520 --> 1:15:00.200
<v Speaker 2>rundown team type thing. That's what it was. And then

1:15:00.280 --> 1:15:04.960
<v Speaker 2>the actual trailer is the scene of them helping him study.

1:15:06.040 --> 1:15:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's weird, Okay, Like, so I watched that first,

1:15:11.400 --> 1:15:13.559
<v Speaker 2>which I normally don't. I don't always. I don't always

1:15:13.760 --> 1:15:15.720
<v Speaker 2>like see the trailer. I don't know if it's always.

1:15:15.439 --> 1:15:18.080
<v Speaker 1>An option occasionally do it, but you know what I mean.

1:15:18.479 --> 1:15:20.759
<v Speaker 2>But I clicked on it and I was like, oh God,

1:15:21.000 --> 1:15:23.759
<v Speaker 2>this is I'm not even like in it at all. Whatever,

1:15:24.439 --> 1:15:26.719
<v Speaker 2>But it's just so funny because the trailer really doesn't

1:15:26.760 --> 1:15:29.799
<v Speaker 2>say or show you anything. And the couple of trailers,

1:15:29.840 --> 1:15:32.479
<v Speaker 2>even when I watched the Cheetah Girls trailer. It was like,

1:15:33.479 --> 1:15:36.200
<v Speaker 2>that is the weirdest trailer because it's not and it's

1:15:36.200 --> 1:15:37.880
<v Speaker 2>not even what was on the channel at the time

1:15:37.960 --> 1:15:39.160
<v Speaker 2>to promote the movie either.

1:15:39.240 --> 1:15:40.799
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, you know, I don't know how Disney

1:15:40.800 --> 1:15:43.879
<v Speaker 1>does it, but in a lot of different film companies,

1:15:43.960 --> 1:15:46.519
<v Speaker 1>the actual director or people involved with the film don't

1:15:46.520 --> 1:15:49.880
<v Speaker 1>cut the trailer right. So occasionally they will if they're

1:15:49.880 --> 1:15:51.479
<v Speaker 1>allowed to, but a lot of times they'll bring in

1:15:51.479 --> 1:15:53.000
<v Speaker 1>a company or they'll do something else and it's like,

1:15:53.040 --> 1:15:55.600
<v Speaker 1>that's the trailer you cut together. Yeah, so yeah, you

1:15:55.640 --> 1:15:56.720
<v Speaker 1>never know who's doing it.

1:15:56.840 --> 1:15:59.360
<v Speaker 2>But it's like, I feel like more often on the

1:15:59.400 --> 1:16:01.439
<v Speaker 2>Disney Plus, so I don't know if they're just they're

1:16:01.479 --> 1:16:03.880
<v Speaker 2>going back and doing it like Disney pluses, so it's

1:16:03.920 --> 1:16:06.519
<v Speaker 2>just kind of like after the fact or whatever. But

1:16:06.560 --> 1:16:08.439
<v Speaker 2>the trailers don't always make sense, So I'm going to

1:16:08.520 --> 1:16:12.000
<v Speaker 2>be making sure there's a trailer I love that. I

1:16:12.400 --> 1:16:15.840
<v Speaker 2>also sort of rate the trailers because this one made zero.

1:16:16.120 --> 1:16:19.760
<v Speaker 1>This is a bad rate, big zero, big old Well,

1:16:19.760 --> 1:16:23.720
<v Speaker 1>speaking of rating, it's our time to now rate our film. Uh,

1:16:23.760 --> 1:16:25.280
<v Speaker 1>And I'm going to go with what that fan that

1:16:25.320 --> 1:16:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I met at the convention says, I think we should

1:16:26.880 --> 1:16:28.880
<v Speaker 1>do this week one will be the least and ten

1:16:28.920 --> 1:16:29.479
<v Speaker 1>will be the most.

1:16:30.400 --> 1:16:32.120
<v Speaker 2>Pamely because they suggested, well, yeah.

1:16:31.920 --> 1:16:33.600
<v Speaker 1>They suggested it. It makes sense, and we're going to

1:16:33.640 --> 1:16:35.320
<v Speaker 1>do that. It's our fan fan shout out of the week.

1:16:35.640 --> 1:16:38.360
<v Speaker 1>I also think it's you are rating first this time.

1:16:38.400 --> 1:16:41.360
<v Speaker 1>I think I rated first last time. Yes, and so

1:16:41.400 --> 1:16:44.519
<v Speaker 1>now it's up to you and let's figure out how

1:16:44.520 --> 1:16:45.960
<v Speaker 1>we want to rate this. Do you want to do

1:16:46.000 --> 1:16:49.200
<v Speaker 1>one out of ten actors with initials, one out of

1:16:49.200 --> 1:16:53.120
<v Speaker 1>ten pagers, sugar in video games, one out of ten

1:16:53.240 --> 1:16:58.439
<v Speaker 1>sketchy vans, horse Radish fish, butts of the team, one

1:16:58.479 --> 1:17:00.280
<v Speaker 1>out of ten borrowed condos, or one one out of

1:17:00.280 --> 1:17:02.960
<v Speaker 1>ten miracle generators. I'm also gonna add one out of ten.

1:17:02.960 --> 1:17:06.719
<v Speaker 1>Why don't you just go get some gases? How about you, Sabrina,

1:17:06.720 --> 1:17:07.880
<v Speaker 1>which one do you want to pick this week?

1:17:08.040 --> 1:17:10.479
<v Speaker 2>I think because it was such a triggering point for me,

1:17:10.520 --> 1:17:11.639
<v Speaker 2>I gotta go a sketchy van.

1:17:11.840 --> 1:17:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Good. I was hoping you would pick it. We are

1:17:14.240 --> 1:17:16.800
<v Speaker 1>doing one out of ten sketchy vans again for our fan.

1:17:16.920 --> 1:17:18.719
<v Speaker 1>One's gonna be the least and ten's gonna be the most.

1:17:18.840 --> 1:17:20.880
<v Speaker 1>What do you got for us this week, Sabrina.

1:17:20.960 --> 1:17:24.599
<v Speaker 2>This week you know again. After watching that trailer, I

1:17:24.640 --> 1:17:26.719
<v Speaker 2>was like, Ugh, this is gonna be a snooze fest.

1:17:26.920 --> 1:17:31.559
<v Speaker 2>I actually and again I said it before the like

1:17:31.720 --> 1:17:34.280
<v Speaker 2>religious aspect hits you right at the front. Now, not

1:17:34.439 --> 1:17:37.000
<v Speaker 2>knowing a lot about it, I was like, oh, I'm

1:17:37.000 --> 1:17:39.639
<v Speaker 2>gonna learn quite a bit. And I did you got

1:17:39.920 --> 1:17:44.320
<v Speaker 2>the dinner area, talked about the shot moods. Ye, yes,

1:17:44.439 --> 1:17:47.720
<v Speaker 2>the you know, the Yamakas. There's certain things that we got.

1:17:47.720 --> 1:17:50.080
<v Speaker 2>We got a little bit of that, like inspirational story

1:17:50.120 --> 1:17:54.760
<v Speaker 2>with the Maccabees, and it was a good amount. It

1:17:54.800 --> 1:17:58.800
<v Speaker 2>was balanced to me, along with a basketball right. And

1:17:58.840 --> 1:18:01.720
<v Speaker 2>I love kids and sports movies. They're just fun to me.

1:18:02.000 --> 1:18:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I think they're great, big dreams. I love it and

1:18:06.200 --> 1:18:10.360
<v Speaker 2>I actually this movie wasn't one of my favorites, but

1:18:10.439 --> 1:18:14.360
<v Speaker 2>it definitely wasn't at all even close to being a

1:18:14.479 --> 1:18:19.519
<v Speaker 2>bad movie. Right. I actually ended up at the end going, hey,

1:18:19.840 --> 1:18:21.879
<v Speaker 2>I actually really liked that movie.

1:18:21.920 --> 1:18:22.519
<v Speaker 1>I was not.

1:18:22.680 --> 1:18:25.920
<v Speaker 2>I did not have high hopes for it, and it

1:18:26.000 --> 1:18:28.599
<v Speaker 2>actually was a good movie. I thought it was great.

1:18:28.640 --> 1:18:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I thought the Lamont character was an awesome character. This

1:18:33.080 --> 1:18:37.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't reinvent the wheel. You know, X Superstar comes back

1:18:37.439 --> 1:18:40.800
<v Speaker 2>and helps. It's not a reinvention of a storyline, but

1:18:40.920 --> 1:18:43.360
<v Speaker 2>I liked it. I thought that the twist of having

1:18:44.080 --> 1:18:48.320
<v Speaker 2>the Hebrew culture was very cool and for me, a

1:18:48.360 --> 1:18:51.200
<v Speaker 2>great way to kind of feel like I'm now interested

1:18:51.240 --> 1:18:54.120
<v Speaker 2>and I'm actually probably gonna look into it and learn more.

1:18:54.400 --> 1:18:59.080
<v Speaker 2>So I gave it this week a seven Sketchy Vans.

1:18:59.360 --> 1:19:02.479
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you know, I'm kind of right there with you.

1:19:03.479 --> 1:19:05.040
<v Speaker 1>There was parts of this movie I did not like.

1:19:05.479 --> 1:19:07.200
<v Speaker 1>It might have been ninety minutes on the dot, but

1:19:07.280 --> 1:19:09.280
<v Speaker 1>it played longer to me. It seemed like it was

1:19:09.320 --> 1:19:11.719
<v Speaker 1>a little longer than ninety minutes. There were some serious

1:19:11.720 --> 1:19:15.799
<v Speaker 1>sound issues with this movie. There was a lot of adr,

1:19:16.240 --> 1:19:18.439
<v Speaker 1>a lot of things that, you know, again sound wise,

1:19:18.520 --> 1:19:23.920
<v Speaker 1>weren't great. The only female character that was even semi

1:19:23.960 --> 1:19:26.479
<v Speaker 1>likable didn't even have to be in the movie, so

1:19:26.560 --> 1:19:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the whole point of her being there made no sense.

1:19:29.920 --> 1:19:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Poor girl, that's poor girl.

1:19:31.400 --> 1:19:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and again, I just know too. If we had

1:19:33.840 --> 1:19:36.479
<v Speaker 2>a chance to like interview her, she probably would say

1:19:36.560 --> 1:19:38.519
<v Speaker 2>I had like a whole storyline that got cut.

1:19:38.600 --> 1:19:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Or she'd be like I was in that movie. I

1:19:40.160 --> 1:19:42.479
<v Speaker 1>don't even remember shooting this. I was there for a

1:19:42.520 --> 1:19:46.880
<v Speaker 1>day and a half. I don't remember. So yeah, this

1:19:46.880 --> 1:19:50.439
<v Speaker 1>this movie to me. I love Disney taking a swing.

1:19:51.160 --> 1:19:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I love. I'm always a big fan of cultures that

1:19:53.760 --> 1:19:55.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't know a whole lot about. Of course, then

1:19:55.600 --> 1:19:58.679
<v Speaker 1>set wrapped up in that Disney kind of esque way. Agreed.

1:19:58.800 --> 1:20:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I love the Lamont character, the acting. I thought all

1:20:00.920 --> 1:20:04.160
<v Speaker 1>the acting was good. I did, so I'm kind of

1:20:04.200 --> 1:20:06.240
<v Speaker 1>right there with you. I'm gonna give it a soft

1:20:06.280 --> 1:20:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I would give it a hard six point five, but

1:20:08.040 --> 1:20:10.919
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna give it a soft seven as well, Sketchy

1:20:11.000 --> 1:20:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Vanstch cause again, for you know, some of it didn't

1:20:15.160 --> 1:20:16.800
<v Speaker 1>make sense, but a lot of these movies some of

1:20:16.840 --> 1:20:19.120
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't make sense. But it's not, like I said,

1:20:19.160 --> 1:20:21.719
<v Speaker 1>it's not a bad movie. We've seen way worse movies

1:20:22.080 --> 1:20:25.080
<v Speaker 1>in this movie, way worse movies than this movie. So

1:20:25.760 --> 1:20:28.559
<v Speaker 1>there you go. We are both gonna be at seven.

1:20:29.160 --> 1:20:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Sketchy Vis, thank you so much for joining us this

1:20:32.920 --> 1:20:35.720
<v Speaker 1>week on Magical Rewind. Our next movie will be a

1:20:35.880 --> 1:20:39.880
<v Speaker 1>sci fi comedy from two thousand, all about clones. It's

1:20:39.880 --> 1:20:42.400
<v Speaker 1>called The other Man and it stars our current Magical

1:20:42.400 --> 1:20:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Rewind frontrunner for Best actor, the great and wonderful and

1:20:46.439 --> 1:20:48.800
<v Speaker 1>honored to call him a friend, Andy Lawrence, it is

1:20:48.800 --> 1:20:51.800
<v Speaker 1>available now. Okay, fun thing. I was about to say

1:20:51.840 --> 1:20:53.519
<v Speaker 1>it's available to stream on Disney Plus. To get your

1:20:53.560 --> 1:20:57.320
<v Speaker 1>homework done early, folks, but we literally found out as

1:20:57.400 --> 1:21:00.799
<v Speaker 1>we were recording this specific podcast episode.

1:21:00.840 --> 1:21:04.320
<v Speaker 2>It was wild that it happened that it pulled.

1:21:04.080 --> 1:21:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Off of Disney Plus today or yesterday on September one.

1:21:08.040 --> 1:21:10.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm throwing out the date there. It was literally pulled

1:21:10.520 --> 1:21:12.400
<v Speaker 1>off a Disney Plus. But we've got so much planned

1:21:12.400 --> 1:21:13.880
<v Speaker 1>for this. I'm not gonna let you in on too much,

1:21:13.880 --> 1:21:15.200
<v Speaker 1>but we've got a lot planned for it, so we're

1:21:15.240 --> 1:21:18.200
<v Speaker 1>sticking with it. So it is now on YouTube or Prime.

1:21:18.200 --> 1:21:20.040
<v Speaker 1>But unfortunately for that, I think the first time in

1:21:20.080 --> 1:21:22.280
<v Speaker 1>the history of our podcast, you gotta pay for it.

1:21:22.840 --> 1:21:25.160
<v Speaker 1>So if it's a dollar ninety nine or whatever, send

1:21:25.200 --> 1:21:27.080
<v Speaker 1>all of your bills to Sabrina Brian. She will be

1:21:27.120 --> 1:21:29.320
<v Speaker 1>happy to take care of them. I am gonna be

1:21:29.479 --> 1:21:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be making sure that she pays for my

1:21:31.080 --> 1:21:35.360
<v Speaker 1>movie too. Andy Lawrence is worth a couple bucks, but man,

1:21:35.360 --> 1:21:37.360
<v Speaker 1>if it's seventeen dollars, I'm just gonna fake my way

1:21:37.400 --> 1:21:41.280
<v Speaker 1>through it. I'm kidding. Oh wait, I'm sorry. We'll be

1:21:41.360 --> 1:21:43.439
<v Speaker 1>sci fi comedy from two thousand all ball clones, the

1:21:43.560 --> 1:21:46.439
<v Speaker 1>other me. It's not the other man, the other me.

1:21:47.240 --> 1:21:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, So again, get your homework done early, folks,

1:21:51.400 --> 1:21:52.639
<v Speaker 1>But it's gonna cost you a little bit of money

1:21:52.680 --> 1:21:54.679
<v Speaker 1>this time. And I apologize. We've never done that before.

1:21:54.720 --> 1:21:57.439
<v Speaker 1>It will never happen again. And it literally happened as

<v Speaker 1>we were recording this specific episode. It has been pulled,

1:22:01.400 --> 1:22:04.000
