Speaker 1: Sabrina. Yes, I don't know how I feel about today.
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you, because part of me wanted
Speaker 2: to leave this exactly as it was.
Speaker 1: I'll be telling you that. And I still have my recording.
Speaker 2: I still have my feed, so I don't know a
Speaker 2: few captures, but I still have my original recording well
Speaker 2: from two years ago.
Speaker 1: Of course, of course I did. I don't throw at it.
Speaker 1: I don't throw anything out, Sabrina.
Speaker 3: Will I love that. Well, that's not true because you
Speaker 3: you go through the list of things that you're deleting
Speaker 3: off your computer.
Speaker 1: Oh, those off the computer. Sometimes I will, but not that.
Speaker 2: The only time I delete something is when it's then
Speaker 2: put into the world.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: So it's like because then there's times where somebody call
Speaker 2: and be like, hey, do you have the feed from blahblah,
Speaker 2: we haven't released it yet, and I'll be like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I can read, so the second it's out then I'll
Speaker 2: delete it.
Speaker 1: But since this was never released, I never got rid
Speaker 1: of it. Okay, so I still have.
Speaker 2: It and we're going to get into it. But first
Speaker 2: of all, welcome back to Magical Rewind, the show that
Speaker 2: makes you want to grab your friends, your pjs and
Speaker 2: your popcorn and go back to a time when all
Speaker 2: the houses are smart, the waves tsunamis and we had
Speaker 2: just started our podcast, I'm Will Forgot and I'm Brian.
Speaker 1: Yes, don't be chicken, it's time to own the spotlight.
Speaker 2: We are officially this time taking on the two thousand
Speaker 2: and nine mascot comedy because there's so many.
Speaker 1: Of them, Hatching Pete.
Speaker 2: Hatching Pete was initially released on April twenty four, two
Speaker 2: thousand and nine. And listen, Okay, we've admitted this before,
Speaker 2: but Hatching Pete Magical rewind I already have a very
Speaker 2: long history. We have dated, we have liked each other,
Speaker 2: we've held hands, we've kissed, but it.
Speaker 1: Never went any farther.
Speaker 2: You see, before we started pressing record on this podcast,
Speaker 2: before we ever published even one single episode, we decided
Speaker 2: we needed a test run. Sabrina and I literally had
Speaker 2: never met before. So we picked, and by we, we
Speaker 2: mean our producers pick a little d com called a
Speaker 2: Hatching Pete. And since the format has definitely changed, our
Speaker 2: chemistry has evolved. We don't like each other at all anymore.
Speaker 2: Since those early days, we thought there was a chance,
Speaker 2: but we hate each other. We had to watch this
Speaker 2: movie again purely for academic reasons so that we could
Speaker 2: give it the attention it deserves. But work have to
Speaker 2: ask the question, did you remember anything about this movie?
Speaker 3: Oh? My gosh, I remember. I was excited for parts
Speaker 3: that were coming up, and not always a good way, right,
Speaker 3: sometimes a laughing at it way. But I remember because
Speaker 3: we were trying to figure out how we were gonna
Speaker 3: put this podcast together. There were just things that were
Speaker 3: coming out, like coming out of our mouths our thoughts
Speaker 3: are things of did you see this? Does that make sense?
Speaker 3: Who is this lady in the stands? It was just Sackler.
Speaker 3: Just all of that was like, it was fun to
Speaker 3: watch because I remember having so much fun talking about
Speaker 3: this movie. And we didn't necessarily love the movie. We
Speaker 3: loved some things of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we loved it.
Speaker 3: Were Jason, We loved those certain things. But I was
Speaker 3: just I had actually a lot of fun, although I
Speaker 3: did kind of go, how long is this movie?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Well, now now we're looking at it differently. I agree,
Speaker 2: we are.
Speaker 3: We are looking at it so differently now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know I didn't remember certain parts until it started,
Speaker 2: but I do remember specifically thinking, Okay, are all the
Speaker 2: dcom's going to be like this And it turns out.
Speaker 1: They weren't so Hatch and Peak premiere.
Speaker 2: To four point one million viewers, which at the time
Speaker 2: was considered a failure.
Speaker 1: Oh how TV has changed.
Speaker 2: This slide in ratings marked the third Disney movie in
Speaker 2: three years with less than five million viewers on premiere night,
Speaker 2: and the critical response wasn't much better. It currently sits
Speaker 2: at fifty nine percent Rotten Tomatoes, which is not good
Speaker 2: even for a d COM, and they expected more viewers,
Speaker 2: especially since it was the first DCOM to air in
Speaker 2: the UK before the United States. One big moment in
Speaker 2: the movie is the song let It Go and No,
Speaker 2: not that let It Go.
Speaker 1: The let It Go.
Speaker 2: Is performed by Tiffany Thornton and the great Mitchell Musso,
Speaker 2: recorded specifically for this movie. It became a number six
Speaker 2: hit on Disney Radio in the name of Synergy, and
Speaker 2: the Disney channel consistently aired the music video as promotion.
Speaker 1: Hey this song is what it is.
Speaker 2: But I was able to let it go because Elsa
Speaker 2: sings the real one and that song's awesome. The song
Speaker 2: appears in the big parade scene, which we'll get to later,
Speaker 2: but What did you think of the actual song itself.
Speaker 3: First of all, this was the time of the Channel
Speaker 3: you're talking two thousand and nine, where right, high school
Speaker 3: musical camp rock like you know Hannah Montana, the Cheetah Girls.
Speaker 3: It is so heavy driven, and they were really wanting
Speaker 3: to find their stars that could do both acting and singing.
Speaker 3: Mitchell is obviously so hilarious, but I really loved he
Speaker 3: was a cool kid when you were around him, the
Speaker 3: way he dressed his hair, everything, he was a cool kid.
Speaker 3: And it was always fun to see what they were
Speaker 3: doing and what where they were trying to get his
Speaker 3: musical world too. And I didn't mind this song. I
Speaker 3: felt like it was very right in the banks of
Speaker 3: what Disney was doing at the time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I this song to me seemed it seemed not
Speaker 2: like something he would have written or performed. It seemed
Speaker 2: like something Disney said, here you go, here's the song
Speaker 2: you're doing a little bit like even the pronunciation of
Speaker 2: the words was kind of like everyone out on the
Speaker 2: dance floor, like he's pronouncing everything perfectly.
Speaker 1: There wasn't any twang to it.
Speaker 2: It was like, now put your hands together for their chicken,
Speaker 2: Like there was.
Speaker 3: A yes that that that one, but the one where
Speaker 3: they're in the credits, that was his song as well.
Speaker 3: Do you remember where that one? I'll say that, and
Speaker 3: I guess that's the song I'm thinking of.
Speaker 2: That's the same song. Aren't they the same versions? It's
Speaker 2: like a different version of the same song though, I
Speaker 2: think maybe. And it's still like everyone a dance floor, Yeah.
Speaker 3: But it felt like more of a rocker vibe, like
Speaker 3: the drums and like that, which was more of his
Speaker 3: natural alley of style. But yeah, the Parade.
Speaker 1: One was I think it's the same song.
Speaker 3: It's not redone. They had to have done like a remix.
Speaker 3: It's such a.
Speaker 1: Different vibe pretty much the same.
Speaker 3: Song, is it really?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I think so.
Speaker 3: But I think I just really love him so much.
Speaker 3: He can do no wrong. In my eye.
Speaker 1: I think he is great.
Speaker 2: I think this character is one of the worst pieces
Speaker 2: of ever on film, and I just wanted to constantly
Speaker 2: punch him in the face.
Speaker 3: Why did he do it so well?
Speaker 2: Because he's good, because he's a good actors. He took
Speaker 2: what he took what they gave him with arguably the
Speaker 2: worst quote unquote friend care during the history of Disney movies,
Speaker 2: and he made it funny because he's good at what
Speaker 2: he does.
Speaker 3: Yes, And I will say rewatching it this second time, right,
Speaker 3: hasn't been that long since we've watched it. The first
Speaker 3: time I remember getting to about halfway kind of when
Speaker 3: they're in the janitor room or something like that. That's
Speaker 3: when last time we really brought up this.
Speaker 1: Guy's a jerk.
Speaker 3: Oh he's awful, right, But in this time watching he's
Speaker 3: like a jerk right when we meet him.
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, he's always an awful friend.
Speaker 3: Didn't build to him being more selfish and self centered
Speaker 3: like and just it was right from the start.
Speaker 1: This guy le terrible terrible friend friend.
Speaker 3: Yes, terrible terrible brother, terrible friend.
Speaker 2: Everything about him is just awful. He plays it well.
Speaker 2: It's because it's it's the character he's great, is great.
Speaker 2: And I will say right now, Brian Stapanic is a genius,
Speaker 2: an actual him.
Speaker 1: But he's so good in this movie.
Speaker 3: Yeah. The last time we watched this, this was are like,
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, he is amazing.
Speaker 1: And then seeing what he does with yeah, well we'll
Speaker 1: get into it anyway.
Speaker 2: Patching Pete was shot in Utah, Yes, Midvale and Payson
Speaker 2: to be exact, and yes, it was produced by Salty Pictures, Inc.
Speaker 2: The company behind High School Musical and the other dcom
Speaker 2: shot in the state and during that big parade scene
Speaker 2: that I mentioned, you'll notice that production gave the whole
Speaker 2: town a fresh coat of paint and new signage for
Speaker 2: the shooting. Some of it is still seen today. And
Speaker 2: that chicken suit, probably the most iconic item in the film,
Speaker 2: was actually five different suits they'd switch out depending on
Speaker 2: the scene, and at least seven different people wore.
Speaker 1: The suit at different times in the movie. For example,
Speaker 1: there was a stunt chicken, a backflip.
Speaker 2: I can't even say back flip, chicken, go say that
Speaker 2: five times fast, a.
Speaker 1: Choreographer, and more.
Speaker 2: It was rarely the actual actor that was in there
Speaker 2: because you just couldn't hear them talk in the suit.
Speaker 2: But like us twice in three years now you can
Speaker 2: stream Hatching Pete on Disney Plus. It is available to
Speaker 2: view before or after you listen to our recap. Matter
Speaker 2: of fact, start the movie this is cool, and then
Speaker 2: the minute the chicken first appears on screen, press play
Speaker 2: on our podcast, and like Wizard of Oz in the
Speaker 2: Dark Side of the Moon, it syncs up.
Speaker 1: I'm kidding.
Speaker 2: It doesn't in any way, shape or for him, So
Speaker 2: don't do that. But hey, it was worth a shot. Okay,
Speaker 2: now here's a loaded question, because we obviously knew about
Speaker 2: hatching Pete for this rewatch, But did you know about
Speaker 2: it before we first paired up and asked to try
Speaker 2: this little podcast we now call Magical rewind No, no,
Speaker 2: of course, Ever, I don't think the people in the
Speaker 2: movie new hatching Pete. No, no, this was an obscure one.
Speaker 3: No, but I remember when we interviewed Brian, he was
Speaker 3: like a fan of when he did this movie.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sure they had fun shooting the movie.
Speaker 3: Yes, they look like a great.
Speaker 2: Cast that's having a great time doing super weird in
Speaker 2: a chicken suit.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So we'll get into that.
Speaker 2: But now let's steal the sheriff's car and run into
Speaker 2: the woods to get off Scott free.
Speaker 1: It's time for the synopsis.
Speaker 2: A shy high schooler agrees to wear a mascot chicken costume,
Speaker 2: only for the secret identity to spiral out of control and.
Speaker 1: Become wildly popular.
Speaker 2: Now he must decide whether to keep hiding or finally
Speaker 2: stand up for himself and take credit for who he
Speaker 2: really is Sabrina.
Speaker 1: What did you think of Hatch and Pete the second
Speaker 1: time you watched it?
Speaker 3: Now, I feel like it's like an unfair thing. I
Speaker 3: feel like it might as well have been one of
Speaker 3: our movie. I've got such a soft place in my heart.
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 3: The things that were like kinda weird the first.
Speaker 1: Time were weird, super weird. They like, yeah, like I.
Speaker 3: Couldn't get over the the she shack that's that's connected
Speaker 3: to the house that's also connected to the car repair shop,
Speaker 3: but that's actually their house that I don't think we
Speaker 3: ever go into their actual house.
Speaker 1: We go into the bakery, but that's it bakery.
Speaker 2: We do we do we go in the kitchen because
Speaker 2: when when you first no, I think it's we go
Speaker 2: into the kitchen with Mitchell Musso, but we go into
Speaker 2: the regular kitchen when they're going to the game at
Speaker 2: the very beginning.
Speaker 3: Okay, yes, yeah, I mean that is the one shot
Speaker 3: in the very beginning of the game. Like I couldn't
Speaker 3: get over how weird that was. And also like was
Speaker 3: that a set or was that someone's literal house that
Speaker 3: they used?
Speaker 2: Had they had to have put built it as a set,
Speaker 2: although the fact that she's.
Speaker 3: A baker in Utah.
Speaker 1: Those houses never comes up wild but they never could.
Speaker 1: They never bring it up that she's a baker. She
Speaker 1: doesn't do any I noticed that too.
Speaker 3: I didn't notice that the first time. I didn't. I
Speaker 3: mean they're like, it's like a full bakery, like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and a full garage. Well we'll get into all them.
Speaker 3: But yes, So the things like that were just so
Speaker 3: much more weird. And then I remember there was one
Speaker 3: scene and it's towards the middle end, we're getting closer
Speaker 3: to the end where you know, he's now run off
Speaker 3: and he's stolen the car and all that, and then
Speaker 3: they're on this random side of the road. That scene.
Speaker 3: I remember we talked about it, but that scene was
Speaker 3: so strange. I kept rewinding going, I think I missed something.
Speaker 2: No, you didn't that I miss may it makes sense, well,
Speaker 2: the whole the whole film mystery. Right, that's that's my
Speaker 2: ear thoughts, right.
Speaker 3: Yes, so, and I felt bad watching and getting like
Speaker 3: more annoyed, not annoyed, but just like weirded out.
Speaker 1: No, because you're watching it differently. Now that we've seen
Speaker 1: so many comes.
Speaker 3: Oh freaking many, I get over the way. I know,
Speaker 3: I know, yes, but again, no matter what, hands down,
Speaker 3: the cast phenomenal like phenomenal, phenomenal.
Speaker 1: That's they're great. They're great.
Speaker 2: Even even some of the kids on the basketball team
Speaker 2: that have two or three lines are great.
Speaker 1: There are They're all.
Speaker 2: The thing that that's odd, and we will get into
Speaker 2: this as we go on, is almost every single actor in.
Speaker 1: This movie is in a different movie.
Speaker 2: They're all playing it like they're in a different Brian
Speaker 2: Stepanic is in a different movie than Sir Jason Dolly,
Speaker 2: who's in a different movie than Mitchell Musso, who's in
Speaker 2: a different movie than.
Speaker 1: The teachers, who's in a different movie than the principal,
Speaker 1: who's in a different movie than the interest, who's in
Speaker 1: a different movie than her.
Speaker 3: Sister in her own movie.
Speaker 1: Everybody shooting films. Yes, I'm telling.
Speaker 3: You, her boyfriend cheated on her. Dude, something bad happened
Speaker 3: to that.
Speaker 1: Every single actor is in a different movie.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 2: Hatching Pete was directed by Stuart Gillard, an Emmy nominee
Speaker 2: for The Sonny and Share Show. Gillard is a favorite
Speaker 2: here in Magical rewind. He first worked with Disney on
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty seven's Magical World entry. The Return of the
Speaker 2: Shaggy Dog, which makes me wonder was there just Shaggy.
Speaker 1: Dog must have been?
Speaker 2: But his lineup of d coms include The Scream Team,
Speaker 2: Full Court, Miracles, Twitches, Twitches to Girl Versus Monster, and
Speaker 2: the possible all time best Going to the Mat. He
Speaker 2: also directed the nineteen ninety three live action three Quell
Speaker 2: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles three, which, if you're a fan,
Speaker 2: you're wondering which one that is? That is the one
Speaker 2: without Vanilla Ice. Long impressive resume on Stuart Gillard, even
Speaker 2: if it includes hatching Pete the movie stars again an
Speaker 2: undeniable dcom legend royalty. In our book, it's Sir Jason
Speaker 2: Dolly Well Well well knighted as Pete IVY, one of
Speaker 2: our good pals. Here on Magical Rewind, it would be
Speaker 2: hard to define the Disney Channel Original movie era without
Speaker 2: this guy.
Speaker 1: Jason appeared in Read It.
Speaker 2: And Weep, Minutemen and This Movie, but on the TV
Speaker 2: side you know him as both Newt and Corey in
Speaker 2: the House, which also appears to be the most popular
Speaker 2: video game ever, and PJ. Duncan on Good Luck Charlie
Speaker 2: Well documented here. He's also a Disney Channel Games legend
Speaker 2: all hail the Sir himself. He has been touched on
Speaker 2: both shoulders. He is officially a Knight of the Roundtable.
Speaker 2: And not to be outdone, We've got Mitchell Musso as
Speaker 2: Kleidus Kleidus.
Speaker 1: You know, we haven't nighted him because he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to come on our show.
Speaker 2: Mitchell is another Channel mainstay, most known as Oliver on
Speaker 2: Hannah Montana, which also spun into a dcom. He also
Speaker 2: starred in the Disney Channel original movie Life Is Rough,
Speaker 2: and like many actors of his day, Musso was also
Speaker 2: a pop star, releasing tons of songs where you know,
Speaker 2: while later starring in another Disney show, Pair of Kings.
Speaker 2: He also is the voice of Jeremy on Phineas and
Speaker 2: Ferb and We Love this Guy. A Dolly and Musso
Speaker 2: team up is kind of like this Channel Shaq and Kobe.
Speaker 2: If you ask, We'll let you do.
Speaker 3: That is such a good statement. I am sticking by it.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 1: It's true.
Speaker 2: Tiffany Thornton is Jamie Wynn. So Jamie is the one
Speaker 2: who who she You know he wanted to fall for her, Yes,
Speaker 2: and no that's not even that's not right. She's the one.
Speaker 2: She's the one who they dive out of the way
Speaker 2: and she gets hit and her nose starts to put
Speaker 2: She ends up being she wants to make out with
Speaker 2: Mitchell Musso.
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 3: I hate that name. That is the wordist Kleidas. I can't.
Speaker 3: I cannot with that name. And I also could not
Speaker 3: pick up what their nickname for him was. Clue.
Speaker 1: Oh they kept.
Speaker 3: They never they call him cleatas like once or twice
Speaker 3: in the movie and the rest of the time they
Speaker 3: call him like Clue or.
Speaker 2: It was the night. It was the ninth thing on
Speaker 2: my list of watching this film. Yes, so, Tiffany Thornton
Speaker 2: is Jamie Wynn. Thornton appeared on Eight Simple Rules, The
Speaker 2: oc That's So Raven, Hannah Montana, and Wizards of Waverley Place,
Speaker 2: And like mus So, she was a singer. She did
Speaker 2: that Get on the Dance Floor a song with him.
Speaker 2: Jody Lauren was another Disney regular. She plays Angela. Before
Speaker 2: the movie, she showed up on Hannah Montana, Corey in
Speaker 2: the House, and the zach Efron movie seventeen Again. She
Speaker 2: has since been on the scripted show Make It or
Speaker 2: Break It, Hit the Floor, and The Mentalist and Her
Speaker 2: last acting credit is from twenty fifteen. Another actor worth
Speaker 2: pointing out is Haley Pulos, who played Courtney Ivy. She
Speaker 2: is in a ton of things, most notably five hundred
Speaker 2: episodes of General Hospital. That's again almost a year's worth
Speaker 2: of soap opera as Molly Lancing Davis because they all
Speaker 2: have three names. She was also in The Collector and
Speaker 2: a few of those movies where a dog save something
Speaker 2: like Christmas.
Speaker 1: Sean O'Brien is Leon Ivy.
Speaker 2: Most listeners will know him as mister O'Connell and The
Speaker 2: Princess Diaries, but he also acted alongside Sir Jason Dolly
Speaker 2: before in two episodes of Good Luck Charlie.
Speaker 1: And then you got Principal Fred Day.
Speaker 2: And that's Edward Herman, who could be argued to be
Speaker 2: in the Dabney the Coleman Reynolds Chair, but probably not.
Speaker 2: This guy should be recognizable to our listeners for many reasons.
Speaker 2: He's probably best known as Richard Gilmour on The Gilmore Girls,
Speaker 2: but he's appeared on so many TV shows from Mash
Speaker 2: to Saying Elsewhere to The Practice to Oz, and he's
Speaker 2: in movies like The Lost Boys, Nixon, and he played
Speaker 2: Herman Munster in the Munster's TV movie This Guy Did
Speaker 2: It All and finally roll out the red carpet for
Speaker 2: a friend of the show and co host of the
Speaker 2: Disney Channel Games, Brian Stapanic. Brian was a guest on
Speaker 2: Magical Rewinder. We highly sugges going back and listening of
Speaker 2: that one. He is so much fun. But he's best
Speaker 2: known for playing the lovable and eccentric our Win on
Speaker 2: the Sweet Life of Zach and Cody, later repeating the
Speaker 2: role in The Sweet Life on Deck and Yes, he
Speaker 2: was the man behind the legendary game of Simon Says
Speaker 2: between Sir Jason Dolly and Sir Jason Earles, for which
Speaker 2: we have dedicated well over two hours dissecting on this podcast.
Speaker 2: In addition to his Disney work, Brian also starred on
Speaker 2: Nickelodeon's Nicky Ricky, Dicky and Don and appeared in twenty
Speaker 2: two episodes of Young Sheldon.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but.
Speaker 2: Not even a sweetheart like Brian can make a long
Speaker 2: movie bearable, So we don't want a long movie.
Speaker 1: We don't need a long movie. So how long's Hatching Pete?
Speaker 1: Ladies and Gentlemen? Hatching Pete is ninety minutes. We've done it.
Speaker 1: We've done it, folks. We have a winner. That's right.
Speaker 2: We hit the target, a rare feat nowadays. So no
Speaker 2: matter what, even though this movie at its core is
Speaker 2: still you know, Hatching Pete, it's a winner in my
Speaker 2: book thanks to the ideal runtime. I'd like to thank
Speaker 2: everyone in my parents for making this possible. My co
Speaker 2: host I can't remember her name, but thank you everybody
Speaker 2: for being here for when we've hit our ninety minute movie.
Speaker 2: Oh damn it will yes, and one of the thank
Speaker 2: yous for that, hang on, let me just google Sabrina
Speaker 2: real quick.
Speaker 1: So is gotcha? Oh she's the blonde. She's the blonde.
Speaker 2: And one of those thank yous should go to writer
Speaker 2: Paul W.
Speaker 1: Cooper.
Speaker 2: This TV vet started on shows like The Waltons and
Speaker 2: Little House in the Prairie, so he's been around for
Speaker 2: a while and found his way to Disney through some
Speaker 2: work on the ABC after school specials.
Speaker 1: I was in one of those.
Speaker 2: Hatching Pete was his sole entry into the lexicon and
Speaker 2: his second to last writing credit ever.
Speaker 1: And so cock a doodle do it.
Speaker 2: Oh God, I've got to slap myself in the face
Speaker 2: after that. Let's get into the recap for hatching Pete again.
Speaker 2: We opened with a handful of kids sprinting to Brewster
Speaker 2: High School. Now remember or it's called Brewster High School, people,
Speaker 2: that's going to be important. Even though it looks like
Speaker 2: they're running away from a serial killer, they're not. They're
Speaker 2: just racing to the school's pack gymnasium where the mascot
Speaker 2: is removing his costume from a duffel bag that clearly
Speaker 2: says rooster, so they're obviously the Brewster Roosters. The students
Speaker 2: are clapping and stopping, ready to get hyped up. But
Speaker 2: what we can only assume based on basic literacy, it's
Speaker 2: supposed to be a rooster, especially because their sports team
Speaker 2: is called the Racing Roosters. So imagine all of our
Speaker 2: surprise when the mascot gets dressed up and we see
Speaker 2: a chicken. Now here's my question, Sabrina. Do you think
Speaker 2: someone got the wrong costume? Do you think someone didn't
Speaker 2: care and thought this was a rooster? Or do you
Speaker 2: think this is part of the joke that they're the
Speaker 2: Brewster Roosters, but for some reason it's a chicken.
Speaker 1: Do you think this was done on purpose?
Speaker 3: Oh? Boy, I think I feel like they lean in
Speaker 3: to the costume and call it a chicken, like they
Speaker 3: lean into that.
Speaker 2: Oh, they it's very much the chicken, yes, but they
Speaker 2: cock a doodle do, which is a rooster.
Speaker 3: Right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So the question is, do you think.
Speaker 2: They did it as a joke because it's a brewster
Speaker 2: rooster and then a chicken comes out?
Speaker 1: Yes, I kind of agree, and I'm hoping I think
Speaker 1: those what it was.
Speaker 3: The whole thing is that, like it's a funny aspect
Speaker 3: that this family has been this rooster chicken for decades.
Speaker 1: That's the thing.
Speaker 3: It's not a rooster, well, but they've been this for it.
Speaker 3: But like it's like a joke, Like they're a joke,
Speaker 3: Like it's always been a joke.
Speaker 2: Okay, Like all right, So hopefully that was on purpose,
Speaker 2: I think so. I hope so too. The fully clothed
Speaker 2: furry mascot that very much looks like the classic San
Speaker 2: Diego chicken emerges into the school hallway and screams cocka
Speaker 2: doodle do, then falls flat on his face while on
Speaker 2: the ground. The marching band passes by, paying very little
Speaker 2: attention to the animal, until one member of the band
Speaker 2: calls him the worst chicken they've ever had. And here
Speaker 2: the mascot corrects him, reminding him he's a rooster, but again,
Speaker 2: he's not a rooster. And this feels like something that
Speaker 2: was added when Disney execs were like, hey, wait.
Speaker 1: What the hell's going on?
Speaker 2: Like just put in a voiceover that says I'm a rooster,
Speaker 2: but he's not.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we don't know. We just don't know. Now.
Speaker 2: In the gym, as the marching band enters, so does
Speaker 2: Pete Ivy. He apologizes to a teacher, Miss Banfield, for
Speaker 2: being late and wonders if she's seen Carnie Poole. Banfield
Speaker 2: wonders if he's a new student, but no, he's actually
Speaker 2: in her biology class.
Speaker 1: That's how forgettable this kid is.
Speaker 2: And again, right away, Sir Jason is likable, he's good.
Speaker 1: He's the every man. Horrible, just you love this guy?
Speaker 3: Right after that and I always worthy but like the
Speaker 3: door key, like, oh my gosh, he's just he's perfect.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love him. He's the best. And then the
Speaker 1: chicken arrives, bumping into walls.
Speaker 2: He's best friends with Pete Ivy, vouching for him and
Speaker 2: removing his big furry head to reveal another student Kletus,
Speaker 2: and they both have exactly the same haircut, which I
Speaker 2: find very distracting and weird.
Speaker 3: He is no, at the time, all the boys had this.
Speaker 2: With the it's curved over this way and then the
Speaker 2: puffy it's I mean, I guess, haut the beaver haircut.
Speaker 2: That's what beaver cuts short hair, didn't he Then they
Speaker 2: have long hair in the back.
Speaker 1: It looks like a bell. It looks like I know,
Speaker 1: a diving bell.
Speaker 3: It's it's it was.
Speaker 1: It was okay, awful, gotcha.
Speaker 2: We also find out he is also the aforementioned Carnepool's brother.
Speaker 2: He admits he knows that Pete is hoping to ask
Speaker 2: her out, and then he just starts sneezing uncontrollably. Now
Speaker 2: it must be practice, obviously for tonight's big game. As
Speaker 2: Kletis enters in costume, Pete scans the gym for Carney,
Speaker 2: who finally enters as part of the cheerleading team, who
Speaker 2: are in street clothes. So the kids are running to
Speaker 2: the gym, so okay. The marching band is fully dressed
Speaker 2: as the marching band, The chicken is fully dressed as
Speaker 2: the chicken, but the cheerleaders are.
Speaker 1: In civies.
Speaker 2: They're in they're in what citvy civilian clothes. They're just
Speaker 2: in clothes, they're not in their uniforms. I don't understand
Speaker 2: what's happening. It's like, why did some of them get.
Speaker 1: The message she just go into those military.
Speaker 2: I'm still I'm still thinking we're because we're coming off
Speaker 2: a cadet Kelly for I'm trying to wipe that out
Speaker 2: of my mouth, trying to get that taste out of
Speaker 2: my mouth.
Speaker 1: So that's my question.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that doesn't make any sense because if you're on
Speaker 3: a campus and everyone's there, you know your basketball team
Speaker 3: will probably be wearing the school's jerseys. But they're like
Speaker 3: they're practice jerseys.
Speaker 2: Right, But then all the beginning, we're running to the
Speaker 2: gym to see practice, right, Yeah, seems like another mistake.
Speaker 2: It seems like we're thirty seconds into this film and
Speaker 2: there's been nine major mistakes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh no, yeah, wait no, wait, yes, they were
Speaker 3: running to the jack I guess yeah.
Speaker 2: And then the chicken comes out and falls on his face,
Speaker 2: and then the full marching band comes out and like
Speaker 2: worst chicken ever. And then they march in and the
Speaker 2: cheerleaders are just dressed in regular clothes practice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're just like in practice clothes.
Speaker 2: Yeah I didn't, okay, so chicken costume Kletus tries to
Speaker 2: flirt with one of the girls and is immediately dismissed.
Speaker 2: Just as a very nervous Pete finally gets to Carney
Speaker 2: and Justice, he's about to ask her out star basketball
Speaker 2: player and overall douche dill perfectly named runs up to
Speaker 2: insult him, which again I love how they insult him.
Speaker 2: But the team hasn't even scored a point all year. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's great, and then hug Karney. She's apparently with this
Speaker 2: douche nozzle. Big strikeout for Pete, who walks away defeated.
Speaker 2: Nearby Chicken Cletus is also being let down basketball fans,
Speaker 2: and again why are their fans there? And the team
Speaker 2: isn't faring much better. They're terrible, falling all over each
Speaker 2: other during practice drills, and coach Mackie announces their goal
Speaker 2: to finally score more than seven points. I played basketball
Speaker 2: growing up on like the orange team. I was terrible
Speaker 2: and I averaged eleven points. Again, so it's like.
Speaker 1: What are you kidding me? Yeah, come on now.
Speaker 2: In the school hallway, Pete is confiding in Kleidis about
Speaker 2: his love for his sister, who's clearly dating Dill, the
Speaker 2: fact that the best friend never told him. Let's just
Speaker 2: keep a check mark running Tallly of how much you've
Speaker 2: a friend this guy because it gets bad. Cleta says
Speaker 2: he never mentioned it because he wanted his friend to
Speaker 2: grow and experience new things, but Clidas quickly admits that's
Speaker 2: a lie.
Speaker 1: It just slipped his mind. Then he sneezes.
Speaker 2: Now we're at a large suburban home that looks like
Speaker 2: any upper class family dwelling in the middle of a community,
Speaker 2: except for one thing. There's a retail bakery attached to it.
Speaker 2: That's right, a functioning restaurant was seating outside in a
Speaker 2: pink beyond sign Sabrina, What is going on?
Speaker 1: What's happening here?
Speaker 3: I couldn't get over it this time. I couldn't get
Speaker 3: over it. I could not the detail, the grandness of
Speaker 3: it too. It's not like, okay, so you know, some
Speaker 3: some people have like they'll call it like a like
Speaker 3: a she shack in the back of their house, right,
Speaker 3: and they'll they'll run businesses out of it. A lot
Speaker 3: of it. You know. Here in Orange County, it's like uh,
Speaker 3: the the woman's spray tans girls or they have like yeah,
Speaker 3: as long as you have all the proper permits. But
Speaker 3: or like they'll do like you know, like somebody it's
Speaker 3: a it's a mom that does like screen printing, and
Speaker 3: she does like a lot of like schools, you know,
Speaker 3: or teams, shirts, whatever, different things they call them, like
Speaker 3: she shacks. It's like their own little personal business, right
Speaker 3: this this and I don't it's not he can't do
Speaker 3: like a bakery out of it. This is just so grand. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's like a yeah, like it looks like a diner
Speaker 3: almost the outside, like and it's just like and then
Speaker 3: it gets weirder because you look next to it and
Speaker 3: you see his dad who's like working out of a
Speaker 3: fully operating repair shop.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so that's yeah, I was just gonna say, Pete.
Speaker 2: Pete pulls up to his house in a red VW
Speaker 2: bug and is greeted by his father working on a
Speaker 2: car in a traditional garage. So we now have a
Speaker 2: retail bakery and fully functioning garage for autowork house bakery garage,
Speaker 2: a traditional trio for all homes that.
Speaker 1: We're aware of.
Speaker 3: But I will say loved his car. Oh, yes, that car,
Speaker 3: that little red bug was.
Speaker 2: Just like they're popping and snapping as it's driving. It
Speaker 2: was great and perfect, perfect, loved it is that knows
Speaker 2: something is bothering Pete, so he follows him to the
Speaker 2: backyard trampoline, where he's jumping and completing some very impressive flips.
Speaker 2: Pete admits that he has girl trouble and he was
Speaker 2: beat to the punch by the basketball captain. His dad
Speaker 2: suggests that maybe he doesn't need to change for girl
Speaker 2: and she should like him for who he is. No,
Speaker 2: I'm kidding, that didn't happen. His dad suggest No, that's
Speaker 2: not what happened. His dad suggests doing something that gets
Speaker 2: him noticed. Maybe he can go back into gymnastics. And
Speaker 2: now we find out there's only forty five minutes before
Speaker 2: tip off. Again, the practice timing doesn't make sense. So
Speaker 2: they were at practice and he came home, but now
Speaker 2: the game is happening and they well, yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I would imagine they practice out some
Speaker 3: period like they're at the beginning of the school year
Speaker 3: or school day periods like zero in first period, so
Speaker 3: then they have the school the rest of the school day,
Speaker 3: go home. I'm like I'm trying to I'm trying to
Speaker 3: help him out.
Speaker 2: But all the rest of them were dressed for the game.
Speaker 2: The only people that just decided not to dress were
Speaker 2: like the cheerleaders.
Speaker 1: Like, I get I'm not going in.
Speaker 3: Well, they had nothing to cheer for.
Speaker 2: That's right, except maybe that's what it is like our
Speaker 2: team sucks.
Speaker 1: I'm wearing my sweats.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I may or may not get off the bleacher.
Speaker 1: Yeah, who knows. I've been I dropped acid second period.
Speaker 1: I don't care what happens.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: Pete says he's not going to the game and his parents,
Speaker 2: both Rooster boosters, are not happy. Pete complains the team
Speaker 2: hasn't won a game in forever. Just as Cletas Center
Speaker 2: is still sneezing, he assumes it's allergies. Once Pete's parents
Speaker 2: leave for the game, Cleitus asks for a favor. He
Speaker 2: needs Pete to be the chicken tonight. He says it's
Speaker 2: because he's dying, well, not like really dying, but dying
Speaker 2: from inside an allergic reaction to the new chicken Head.
Speaker 2: By the way, I apologize everybody listening for the amount
Speaker 2: of times I'm gonna have to say chickenhead tonight. He
Speaker 2: thinks he's going to sneeze to death, but he doesn't
Speaker 2: want to publicly quit because every generation of the family
Speaker 2: has been the mascot. And this is where the gas
Speaker 2: lighting and guilt and just you're not a good friend
Speaker 2: if you don't do this for me starts and again
Speaker 2: I just wanted to pause it, go back in time,
Speaker 2: walk on set and slap him in the face.
Speaker 1: Pete says there's no way he can be the chicken.
Speaker 1: He's very shy.
Speaker 2: But when Cletus claims the suit is a chick magnet
Speaker 2: and he'll put in a good word with his sister,
Speaker 2: Pete is all ears, which again he never does. Then
Speaker 2: Cleatus encourages him to walk around and flap the wings.
Speaker 1: It's easy.
Speaker 2: Kleta says he's looking into an expensive, hypoallergenic chickenhead. Dan apologies,
Speaker 2: but for now he just needs a It just needs
Speaker 2: a solid It's not his thing at all, but Pete
Speaker 2: agrees because he is a good friend and a nice
Speaker 2: guy to do it and to keep the secret.
Speaker 3: Guy does not Nope, deserve.
Speaker 2: Self esteem, No self esteem, Pete. But Pete also needs
Speaker 2: to man up a little bit. Yes, but yeah, back
Speaker 2: in the gym the game is about to start. The
Speaker 2: school announcer admits the Roosters are zero and twenty, just
Speaker 2: as the players re enter the gym and start missing layups.
Speaker 2: We've got cheerleaders, we've got a full marching band, and
Speaker 2: the stands are full of enthusiastic fans, from an old
Speaker 2: lady to Pete's parents to cleat Us, his dad, a
Speaker 2: former Chicken mascot himself. Coach Mackie checks in his spirit,
Speaker 2: completely broken for being involved with such losers. And when
Speaker 2: the game starts, it takes no time at all to
Speaker 2: start proving they're the worst team in the state. Their opponents,
Speaker 2: the Armadillos, are hot out of the gate. And that's
Speaker 2: where right heck.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just went right over that. What hey, hey, Armadillos.
Speaker 3: Where it's mascot.
Speaker 1: It's better than the rooster chicken.
Speaker 3: Yes, but like, oh my gosh, where are they getting
Speaker 3: these mascot names?
Speaker 1: I guess is they're a Texas team if they're the Armadillos.
Speaker 2: But the Armadillos are hot out of the gate. They are,
Speaker 2: and that's when the chicken arrives in the VW bug.
Speaker 2: Pete waddles into the gym stumbling everywhere, just as the
Speaker 2: Roosters go down thirty to zero. They haven't scored a
Speaker 2: single point in a basketball game, which I find odd.
Speaker 2: Pete is immediately nervous, disguised but feeling exposed.
Speaker 1: How is he gonna pull this off? And he makes
Speaker 1: his way to the sidelines.
Speaker 2: He's distracted by Carney cheerleading, and as a result, a
Speaker 2: fast breaking armadillo which armadillos are very slow, smashes right
Speaker 2: into him. They collide, and the chicken crashes to the ground.
Speaker 2: The entire gym laughs. The Refts don't even stop play.
Speaker 2: They clearly just want this massacre to end. The school
Speaker 2: Principal Fred Daley enters just as Pete finally gets back
Speaker 2: on his feet, and then he's hitting the back of
Speaker 2: the head with the ball, forcing him to violently flip
Speaker 2: on his back again. The gin loves it, but Principal
Speaker 2: Daily walks out ashamed. Pete shakes it off and notices something.
Speaker 2: The cheerleaders like his tactics. He's done something to get
Speaker 2: their attention, just like his dad suggested. As long as
Speaker 2: he has become a completely different human being, girls are
Speaker 2: gonna like him. And now he's hungry for more, he
Speaker 2: starts dancing around, falling to the ground, slithering near the
Speaker 2: cheer squad, and even sitting on the visitor's bench. The
Speaker 2: roosters are getting killed, but now everyone is watching the
Speaker 2: mascot and having the time of their lives. I mean,
Speaker 2: they're splitting a gut, near bursting with laughter. George Carlin
Speaker 2: never saw this type of reaction. Everyone thinks it's Kletus
Speaker 2: and his antics even get Coach McKay ejected. Now after
Speaker 2: the game, Pete returns the costume to Klidus, who promises
Speaker 2: he's gonna hook him up with his sister, which is
Speaker 2: definitely not gross at all. But even with all this complaining,
Speaker 2: it's clear Pete liked being the mascot more than he expected.
Speaker 2: The next day at school, the student body loves Kletus
Speaker 2: because they're under the impression he was the hilarious chicken,
Speaker 2: but coach McKay wants cletis expelled for his hooligan ways. Luckily,
Speaker 2: Principal Daily is more concerned about how bad the team
Speaker 2: is than the mascot. He says the chicken has more
Speaker 2: job security than the coach does. Later in the locker room,
Speaker 2: though Dil Dil and even if your name's Dylan or something,
Speaker 2: you know, no one calls you dil and some plays
Speaker 2: it's like, well, I'm half German, half pickle, and.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: And some players from the question is would the dad
Speaker 2: or the mom be the pickle?
Speaker 3: Were Oh my gosh, I'm just asking Dylan.
Speaker 2: Some of the players from the basketball team want a
Speaker 2: little word with Kletis. They are not thrilled about his
Speaker 2: antics either. They begin to rough him up, but are
Speaker 2: stopped by coach McKay, who is now forced to protect
Speaker 2: the chicken even though he hates him, and more than anything,
Speaker 2: Kletas is now.
Speaker 1: Dying to know what happened to the game.
Speaker 2: Okay, again, I just have to keep pointing out Brian
Speaker 2: Stapanic because he's just so funny again in a completely
Speaker 2: different movie than everyonbody else, as is everybody in a
Speaker 2: completely different movie than every other person on the movie.
Speaker 1: But he's so funny that it's great.
Speaker 3: I literally cannot handle that. He's just one hundred percent
Speaker 3: like threatening a child.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's great. It's great. After saving him.
Speaker 3: Of his job, safety or anything, even though the principle
Speaker 3: literally just said your job's on the line, it's like, Okay,
Speaker 3: I've got a great idea. I'm gonna make sure the
Speaker 3: bullies don't get him, but I'm gonna tell him that
Speaker 3: I can't wait to let them get him.
Speaker 1: I'd love to let them tear you apart.
Speaker 2: Yes, uh, it's so.
Speaker 1: It's it's great, isn't it too?
Speaker 3: I want to kill you so funny, Oh my god.
Speaker 2: But it also makes Kletus wonder what the hell happened
Speaker 2: at the game, especially when he gets a round of
Speaker 2: applause and attention from hot girl Jamie Wynn, who he
Speaker 2: googled to find out was the blonde walking into his
Speaker 2: first class. Even the teacher, Miss Banfield, was impressed. But
Speaker 2: now she needs two volunteers to be on the parade
Speaker 2: float committee. When no one volunteers, she picks Pete. Then
Speaker 2: the cute new girl sitting next to him, Angela Morrissey,
Speaker 2: volunteers herself, and she is cute and they're great together.
Speaker 1: They look very, very cute to get so cute.
Speaker 2: Later in the day, Cletus is holding court during lunch,
Speaker 2: kids completely fawning over him as he does some chicken moves,
Speaker 2: and then at the nearby parade committee meeting, one kid
Speaker 2: has an idea for the float, how about a rocket ship?
Speaker 2: And everyone is just instantly and unexplainably offended, especials.
Speaker 3: They're looking at him like, he's like, why don't we
Speaker 3: do a float in the shape of a Is that
Speaker 3: what it was?
Speaker 1: Is that you think it was?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: Is that what they're going for?
Speaker 3: Noye right said right, It's like that's how they were
Speaker 3: looking at him, like like he said something that was
Speaker 3: like derogatory, and he's like, no, I'm just like really
Speaker 3: into space.
Speaker 1: It's also a rocket ship. It's not the worst idea ever.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, And then it's back No. No, his backup plan,
Speaker 2: he asked, is a space shuttle. Another student even gets
Speaker 2: up and leaves absolutely disgusted.
Speaker 3: He hates the space space killed my father a forever,
Speaker 3: suggesting that I'm out of here.
Speaker 1: It's weird.
Speaker 2: But then Angela has an idea. How about they used
Speaker 2: the chicken who was hilarious last night. Everybody loves the concept,
Speaker 2: but that Doufe once again suggests putting the chicken on
Speaker 2: a rocket ship. And no, by the way, the rocket
Speaker 2: ship nor that student ever come up again.
Speaker 1: And it might be the best part of the movie.
Speaker 2: It's possible now After school, Pete catches up with Angela
Speaker 2: and compliments her idea. They decide to walk home together,
Speaker 2: and then the buzz kill of all buzzkills happens. She
Speaker 2: mentions her boyfriend back in Houston. And at first I
Speaker 2: was like, Oh, she just doesn't like him and she made.
Speaker 1: Up the boys.
Speaker 3: She's lying, Yes, the same thing. I thought, the same thing.
Speaker 3: And I don't know if I remember thinking that last time.
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 3: This time I did for sure, like, oh she's lying, yep. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Do you do you have a specific memory of ever
Speaker 2: just making up a boyfriend? So somebody stops hitting on
Speaker 2: your or going out with somebody and it's like somebody
Speaker 2: from like my boyfriend's in Canada.
Speaker 3: Uh well, not a specific one, I use.
Speaker 2: It had to have happened, right, Yeah, I used did
Speaker 2: you have a fake boyfriend name?
Speaker 3: No? Oh?
Speaker 1: I was dying well for.
Speaker 3: Uh no, I think I think I would just use
Speaker 3: my ex boyfriend's name.
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, Okay, fair enough, because then it.
Speaker 3: Was like, oh, like if they had any if they
Speaker 3: had any questions, I was just.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, because then you could just yeah, see your
Speaker 2: they don't always keep a lie, simple and if it's
Speaker 2: somebody that's if your lie is ninety nine percent truth.
Speaker 1: Boom, that's how you get away with it. Yes, it's true.
Speaker 2: So anyway, yes, you mentioned her fake boyfriend. Back in Houston,
Speaker 2: he volunteers at a nursing home. Womp wom All this
Speaker 2: sounded really fake, all this while Clevelands continues incorrectly to
Speaker 2: be the toast of the town and straight up you know,
Speaker 2: macking it on Jamie.
Speaker 1: It's so weird.
Speaker 2: Anyway, He's like taking advantage of his friend and keeping
Speaker 2: and making him feel bad about not doing things and
Speaker 2: then taking credit for it, and then trying to pimp
Speaker 2: out his sister at the same time, but not actually
Speaker 2: even doing that. So then that night we're back at
Speaker 2: the House Bakery garage where Kleatas needs to know what
Speaker 2: Pete did at the game. Pete explained some of the
Speaker 2: moves and Kletas is loving that he now gets all
Speaker 2: the rewards from this.
Speaker 1: He needs Pete to teach him the routine.
Speaker 2: So to keep the facade going, Pete's going to be
Speaker 2: the chicken one more time at tomorrow's game, and Kalidas
Speaker 2: will be in the stands disguise to take notes, of course,
Speaker 2: and so the next night. At the game, Cleatas's big
Speaker 2: disguise is just a green wig and yellow and green
Speaker 2: face paint to match the rooster's colors. Meanwhile, coach McKay
Speaker 2: has found a whole new lease on life.
Speaker 1: He's ready to turn their luck around. But instead of
Speaker 1: the team running through the large paper banner, it's the
Speaker 1: newly confident Chicken aka Pete mascot is quick to go
Speaker 1: to work with a full dance routine and insults for Dil.
Speaker 1: He's back on fire, and the audience is loving it.
Speaker 1: It's like they're attending a comedy show, not a sporting event.
Speaker 1: And the game starts with the same epic failure for
Speaker 1: the Roosters that we're used to, but even worse. Del
Speaker 1: Face dives into the stands and Principal Daily pushes the
Speaker 1: coach to turn this around. We get this is where
Speaker 1: we just get My favorite thing ever, this great improv
Speaker 1: from Brian'stapanic where he calls a timeout and only grunts
Speaker 1: and frustrations at the players, And if you go back
Speaker 1: and watch, most of the players have to turn their
Speaker 1: faces away from the camera because they're just laughing the
Speaker 1: whole time. It is hysterical. Go watch the scene again.
Speaker 1: Just watch the players.
Speaker 3: Zero chance I would have been able to keep my face.
Speaker 1: Did you see them all though?
Speaker 2: I mean they're all just laughing because he's so funny
Speaker 2: in this scene.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's so good, and you know it, Like you said,
Speaker 3: all improv all improv, so every time he did it different,
Speaker 3: so they were just not able to lose it. I
Speaker 3: mean after take one, for sure, there's no way I
Speaker 3: would have gotten back. I would have gotten the giggles.
Speaker 2: He's he's so funny. I really want to work with
Speaker 2: this guy. Meanwhile, the cheerleaders, now with Angela Morrissey that's
Speaker 2: the brunette on the squad, are flirting with the chicken.
Speaker 2: Remember they think it's Kleidas, but Pete, with his new
Speaker 2: costume confidence, actually grabs Angela and runs her right out
Speaker 2: of the gym, and the audience loves this.
Speaker 1: Kidnapping.
Speaker 2: Have five more feet, they would have had to call
Speaker 2: the police during the routine dial actually scores and out
Speaker 2: in the hall, Angela is thrilled to have some one
Speaker 2: on one with mascot. They joke back and forth with
Speaker 2: the chicken handing her a flower. The crowd is chanting
Speaker 2: his name, so he needs to get back to work.
Speaker 2: Later that night, Pete drives to Kletas's house and they
Speaker 2: postgame the whole situation. Kleidas now knows why the school
Speaker 2: loves him. He even has a date with Jamie later.
Speaker 2: I hope he means later in the week, because how
Speaker 2: late is the date? Is it after the game?
Speaker 1: Also?
Speaker 2: Who are Jamie's parents? And why does his sister also suck?
Speaker 2: Horrible family? Pete isn't as thrilled though he's not getting
Speaker 2: any credit and there's been no progress with Klidas's sister.
Speaker 2: Sols a plan Pete will become the mascot full time,
Speaker 2: which honestly is not a good plan. It's just taking
Speaker 2: advantage of your friend even more weird.
Speaker 1: It's awful, and it just keeps getting worse.
Speaker 3: Pete just says okay, like yes.
Speaker 2: Stand up dude, us admits the allergy free chicken head
Speaker 2: was also a lie. So he also just lies to
Speaker 2: his friend all the time. And he is the problem.
Speaker 2: He is the problem in this movie is is that
Speaker 2: he's fun The Mitchell is funny and delivering the lines,
Speaker 2: but the character is a.
Speaker 3: Character is just like the probably the worst friend character.
Speaker 3: Even after all of these other movies we've seen since
Speaker 3: this first one. Yes, still remains the worst friend yep ever.
Speaker 1: Ever, he's awful.
Speaker 3: All of the characters, all of the awful characters we've met,
Speaker 3: he's the worst.
Speaker 1: He's the worst, one hundred percent. I couldn't agree with
Speaker 1: you more.
Speaker 3: But Mitchell doesn't be brilliantly he's great.
Speaker 1: Yes, oh god, he the actor is playing it wonderfully.
Speaker 3: Take it over it. It's like even as much as him,
Speaker 3: it's like, you're just going. Mitchell's just like killing.
Speaker 1: He's hysterical. He's actually hysterical.
Speaker 2: Pete isn't sold though. If people find out he's the chicken,
Speaker 2: they'll be disappointed that he's such a boring person in
Speaker 2: real life. But Kletis calls it a win win.
Speaker 1: His family tradition lives on, and he gets to scam
Speaker 1: with Jamie. Well.
Speaker 2: Pete gets that fun as the chicken, and even though
Speaker 2: this is wildly uneven and nowhere near a win win,
Speaker 2: Pete of course goes with it, and back at school,
Speaker 2: coach McKay is again begging the principal to ban the chicken,
Speaker 2: but since the Roosters have been outscored this season by
Speaker 2: six hundred points, he has no leg to stand on,
Speaker 2: and it's time for now another committee meeting, but now
Speaker 2: they're actually building the float. Pete and Angela worked together,
Speaker 2: and she announces her boyfriend made captain of the debate team,
Speaker 2: admitting he likes to argue.
Speaker 1: Fake boyfriend, Fake boyfriend.
Speaker 2: She's actually just using Sabrina's axe, and she quickly changes
Speaker 2: it's true. She's like, oh my god, whod It's Sabrina
Speaker 2: day and she quickly changes the son object to Kletus.
Speaker 2: She wants to know more about him, calling him interesting
Speaker 2: and complex. He's ordinary by day and bold, daring and
Speaker 2: funny as the chicken. But she knows he's dating someone
Speaker 2: and she has her boyfriend, so she ignores her feelings.
Speaker 2: So she's attracted to him because he's the chicken. He's
Speaker 2: apparently complex because he's quiet during the day, which he isn't,
Speaker 2: and he's bold and daring as the chicken. Okay, I
Speaker 2: get the chicken part. So she's just another hopping on
Speaker 2: the bandwagon him. Now this is the most popular chicken.
Speaker 3: I guess. Yeah, everyone's just like completely intrigued by this chicken.
Speaker 2: Now on the team bus for an away game, Pete
Speaker 2: takes a seat in full chicken gear or we think
Speaker 2: it's Pete and it drives away.
Speaker 1: Maybe two dozen students run after it, screaming chicken. Totally normal.
Speaker 2: Now in the back of the bus, seated next to Jamie,
Speaker 2: he avoids talking to her because it would expose his voice,
Speaker 2: and when she becomes upset, dyl shockingly has a theory.
Speaker 1: Kletus isn't in the costume. Wow, he knows something. I'll see.
Speaker 1: He got that from his pickle side, not the German side.
Speaker 2: Jamie laughs it off, but the star player has a point.
Speaker 2: He says, Kleidas has never been funny. How did he
Speaker 2: just get funny overnight? And that's one thing Kleidis is
Speaker 2: is funny. So to make sure, he rips off the
Speaker 2: chicken head and lo and behold, it's Kletus. How lucky
Speaker 2: did you remember this part? Did you think it was
Speaker 2: gonna be Pete?
Speaker 3: I did? I totally Oh god, I didn't remember that.
Speaker 3: And then it's Pete. I'm like, all right, that it's Kleidus.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my gosh, I.
Speaker 1: Forgot it too, me too. Yep.
Speaker 2: Now in their way to the visitors, Jim the Chicken
Speaker 2: excuses himself and then right in front of a janitor
Speaker 2: mopping up while wearing headphones and singing R and B.
Speaker 1: Cletas is pulled into a.
Speaker 2: Supply closet and so now disguise, Cletus is in the
Speaker 2: stands and the Chicken returns just as the game starts.
Speaker 2: The stands are jam packed, thanks solely to the fury
Speaker 2: around the mascot. Apparently they just everyone's there for the mascot,
Speaker 2: even at away games. But maybe this chicken fever is
Speaker 2: exactly what the team needs, because right off the jump,
Speaker 2: all the Roosters, led by Dill, have been able to score.
Speaker 1: Hey, sure, the.
Speaker 2: Other team is literally dunking every drive down the court
Speaker 2: and they're down by fifty, but the Chicken is transcendent
Speaker 2: and the Roosters have scored twenty total, more than they've
Speaker 2: had all last season.
Speaker 1: Okay, great twenty points. And at the end I know.
Speaker 2: And at the end of the game, one of the
Speaker 2: visiting players has a breakaway and he gets ready to dunk.
Speaker 2: Pete sees through the chicken eyes that Angela Morrissey is
Speaker 2: right in the line of fire. He jumps in front
Speaker 2: of her like a secret Service chicken protecting the president,
Speaker 2: and instead of hitting Angela.
Speaker 1: The player spears cheerleader Jamie.
Speaker 2: She with the blonde, leaving her with a bloody nose
Speaker 2: and a bad attitude.
Speaker 1: Kleidas knows he's going to pay for this.
Speaker 2: Later, the two boys switch clothes again in the closet
Speaker 2: and Kletas thinks he should have saved Jamie, not Angela,
Speaker 2: but Pete admits to his best friend he likes Angela
Speaker 2: and reveals she seems to like the chicken. Kletas is
Speaker 2: immediately nervous he's going to spill the beans to his crush,
Speaker 2: so he continues to manipulate and guilt trip his best friend,
Speaker 2: and when Kleidas eventually leaves the closet, now out of
Speaker 2: this guy's he's met by a horned up Angela, Yes,
Speaker 2: the girl who his best friend just said I like.
Speaker 2: They have an awkward conversation and she thanks him for
Speaker 2: saving her from the stampede. She continues to flirt with him,
Speaker 2: but all Kletus cares about is Pete keeping the secret.
Speaker 2: How this guy's anybody's friend and understand Pete any self
Speaker 2: esteem or something.
Speaker 1: But then this.
Speaker 2: Leans in to try to kiss the girl his best
Speaker 2: friend just said, I have a crush.
Speaker 3: On I honestly don't even.
Speaker 1: I was yelling at the screen and we.
Speaker 3: Didn't like this last time, this part I remembered as
Speaker 3: it was coming up. I was already rolling my eyes
Speaker 3: like this, damn yes, and would have had Pete not
Speaker 3: interrupted him.
Speaker 1: By physically pulling him away, well.
Speaker 3: Like yes, like hello, would have absolutely gone for the kiss.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So he's lying to his best friend, gaslighting him, guilt
Speaker 2: tripping him, and now trying to go take his lady.
Speaker 2: It's like it is the worst character in the history
Speaker 2: of the dcom.
Speaker 1: I mean, you could not have written a worse guy
Speaker 1: than this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean some of the villains in our dcoms aren't.
Speaker 2: Yes, Oh my god, I'll take all the Descendants and
Speaker 2: the Werewolves and everybody else over.
Speaker 1: This any day.
Speaker 3: Rotten to the core.
Speaker 1: Oh, he's Claytus, absolutely terrible.
Speaker 3: And so character.
Speaker 1: He should have been.
Speaker 2: He should because because it's just he's so awful. And
Speaker 2: so the next day, after school, the Flow Committee's back
Speaker 2: at work. Cleatus is talking to Pete about how amazing
Speaker 2: his life is. His dad even loves him more than usual,
Speaker 2: but the whole situation is getting to him. So now
Speaker 2: they're trying to show that he's a little They took
Speaker 2: it to as far of a crescendo as possible, and
Speaker 2: they're trying to bring him back a little, and I
Speaker 2: don't buy it.
Speaker 1: He's a fraud. He says.
Speaker 2: His dad only loves the chicken, but Pete is the chicken.
Speaker 2: Pete talks him off the ledge like a good friend,
Speaker 2: and Kleta suggests they finally just call it quits and
Speaker 2: switch back for good. But Pete isn't sold, and you know,
Speaker 2: reality just he wants to stay the chicken. So thanks
Speaker 2: to Kleta's manipulative ways and reverse psychology, he's now made
Speaker 2: it so Pete somehow just wants to stay the chicken.
Speaker 2: Then Pete realizes Angela isn't at the meeting, so he
Speaker 2: drives off to find her pouting nearby.
Speaker 1: Her Houston boyfriend m Sabrina's Axe.
Speaker 2: Broke up with her by text message, citing that eighty
Speaker 2: six percent of long distance relationships break up, which Pete
Speaker 2: casually mentions sounds high. He convinces her to return to
Speaker 2: the float, especially because now there's a chance maybe he's.
Speaker 1: Got it, but she just tried to kiss us. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, it's poor Pete, Poor delusion.
Speaker 3: Well and yeah, and also it's just popping in my head.
Speaker 3: She almost cheated on her boyfriend anyway, right, how broken
Speaker 3: hearted are you?
Speaker 1: So we arrive at the day of the Rooster Day parade.
Speaker 2: These streets are aligned with people as the marching band plays,
Speaker 2: the sheriff is driven in a convertible, and the basketball.
Speaker 1: Team walks the route.
Speaker 2: We see Cletus in the crowd and he's wearing a
Speaker 2: cartoonish cowboy costume and clearly fake mustache. He looks like
Speaker 2: Pee wee Herman at the rodeo. And now it's time
Speaker 2: for the big final rooster float. It has a gigantic
Speaker 2: egg in the back of a flatbed and is flanked
Speaker 2: by students in the mascot costume. The float comes to
Speaker 2: a stop as the theme from two thousand and one
Speaker 2: plays and the egg hatches, emerging from the smoke. As
Speaker 2: Pete dresses the chicken backflipping onto the street and transitioning
Speaker 2: into the song let It Go Again, not that let
Speaker 2: It Go the one. He is accompanied by all the
Speaker 2: cheerleaders for a big song and dance number, and then coincidentally,
Speaker 2: Angela picks one person out of the crowd to pull
Speaker 2: them on the float. That person comically fake cowboy cleatus.
Speaker 2: He adapts to the position and dances along with the chicken,
Speaker 2: but his mustache falls off as a song comes to
Speaker 2: an end. The crowd quickly realizes it's Kletas and gasps
Speaker 2: who's in the chicken costume? Then even Kleitas's dad is panicked.
Speaker 2: But instead of revealing himself, Pete decides to make a
Speaker 2: run for it and jumps into the nearby sheriff's convertible,
Speaker 2: and now the entire crowd fields banboozled. They react by
Speaker 2: chasing the car, which speeds off and plows through the
Speaker 2: barrels of Hey Pete ditches the townspeople, navigating through two
Speaker 2: small eyeholes somehow, and the one bright spot is Angela
Speaker 2: is relieved to find out she doesn't have to bang
Speaker 2: the chicken, because she's gonna bang the chicken. It just
Speaker 2: she's happy it doesn't have to be Kletas. But now
Speaker 2: everyone has a lot of questions for Kletas, including the
Speaker 2: sheriff who takes him into custody.
Speaker 1: That's literally what she says.
Speaker 2: She's like, Oh, thank god, it's that's not him, because
Speaker 2: I'm in love with the chicken. Thank God, it's not
Speaker 2: that guy, that's what it was.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's nuts, But I feel like she saw how
Speaker 3: not great of a person Kleitus is. She really did,
Speaker 3: but she's.
Speaker 2: Still still falling for him. She's like, thank God, the
Speaker 2: guy I'm falling.
Speaker 3: And how he could be so great in this costume?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: How? And that's why she didn't want him to take
Speaker 3: year off, because the magic would end and she'd be
Speaker 3: stuck with the Kleatus.
Speaker 1: This is super weird.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the guy in Houston dodged not just a bullet
Speaker 2: but a nuclear missile with this girl.
Speaker 1: God at the also moving on real quick, aren't you there? Yes? See,
Speaker 1: uh really crazy.
Speaker 2: At the police station, the chief interrogates Kleatus, but he's
Speaker 2: not given up Pete, but once his dad arrives, of course,
Speaker 2: he quickly folds. He admits he's allergic to the costume
Speaker 2: and just didn't want to let his family down. His
Speaker 2: dad reveals he was also allergic to the fur, but
Speaker 2: he didn't have the guts to fly the coup. He's
Speaker 2: proud of his son. He wants him happy, not sneezing.
Speaker 1: Well, we're all.
Speaker 2: Happy for Kleidas, but Pete is still sprinting through the woods,
Speaker 2: avoiding people with pitchforks. Eventually, now back in the street clothes,
Speaker 2: he runs into Angela. She was concerned she didn't see
Speaker 2: him to parade and wants to know who he thinks
Speaker 2: the chicken is. She's worried that once she knows, the
Speaker 2: magic will be over. She wonders if the chicken will
Speaker 2: ever come back. Pete says he wouldn't know and continues
Speaker 2: to keep the secret with a sad look on his face.
Speaker 1: And this was the weird scene you're talking about, right, Yes.
Speaker 3: What street were they on?
Speaker 1: So many questions why does.
Speaker 3: She have a car now when that was like a
Speaker 3: whole part of her storyline which she walked home. And
Speaker 3: then remember the scene where she's like walking into her house.
Speaker 3: I remember saying talking about that last time. I was like,
Speaker 3: does she have a bad home life? Again, she's got
Speaker 3: her own movie that she's in, so it really gets
Speaker 3: to know.
Speaker 1: Much and really dark, really sad much.
Speaker 3: We didn't get much like backstory on what her movie's about.
Speaker 1: But like Angela's got a whole other thing going on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but then all of a sudden she shows up
Speaker 3: with the car, and so did he.
Speaker 1: Go back? Home to his garage bakery.
Speaker 3: Was part of my One of my sabrinases was like
Speaker 3: the timeframe of this seemed like it was like edited
Speaker 3: differently than what it was supposed to be, because he
Speaker 3: looks like he goes.
Speaker 1: Back home, ditches the costume.
Speaker 3: Gets rid of the costume and is walking, but then
Speaker 3: not far after he's like with Kletus, like there's like
Speaker 3: a whole weird Yeah.
Speaker 2: Why Also, if you're trying to avoid people, do not
Speaker 2: just go home, ditch the costume and stay home. Why
Speaker 2: are you now walking forlornly like Bruce Banner at the
Speaker 2: end of The Hulk, like where.
Speaker 3: Are you going? Yeah? Going, and you have a car,
Speaker 3: so why wouldn't you get back in your car? Oh
Speaker 3: his car? Oh maybe that's what he.
Speaker 2: Was doing, Maybe walking back to get his car, back
Speaker 2: to get his car.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's pretend that's what it is. Pretend that at
Speaker 1: least okay done.
Speaker 2: But the mystery of the chicken is huge news in town.
Speaker 2: Kletus has thrilled their front page of the newspaper, but
Speaker 2: Pete is annoyed. He stole a cops car and was
Speaker 2: chased by a mob. Cletas has kept his name away
Speaker 2: from the controversy and suggests letting the chicken die out
Speaker 2: and only telling the truth at their thirtieth reunion. But
Speaker 2: now we're at the next basketball game. The stands are
Speaker 2: again filled with Chicken fans, all wearing foam chicken hats
Speaker 2: that they apparently had manufactured overnight. Kleatis is speculating while
Speaker 2: police patrol the court ready for the chicken to arrive.
Speaker 2: Jamie is still dying to figure out who it is,
Speaker 2: but fellow cheerleader Angelus says she doesn't need to know, and,
Speaker 2: to the crowd chagrin, instead of the chicken bursting through
Speaker 2: the team paper banner, it's just dumb, dil Everyone is
Speaker 2: incredibly disappointed until at the last moment, at chicken arrives.
Speaker 2: But it's not the chicken we're used to. It's a
Speaker 2: Tamu chicken in a much cheaper costume. The authority was
Speaker 2: awful awful instantly tackle him. He's unmasked and it's the
Speaker 2: R and B singing janitor. He apologizes and announces he
Speaker 2: just needed some love and attention and now I want it.
Speaker 2: Tired d com about the janitor itself, but also they
Speaker 2: pull off the mask and then they look like they're
Speaker 2: cuffing him. What what crime did the janitor commit?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: What did the what? What was the crime? Faking being
Speaker 1: a chicken? Yeah? I don't know what.
Speaker 2: And then as he walks away, the coach goes janitors
Speaker 2: like they're all the worst people.
Speaker 1: Ever, Like, are you kidding me? There? What keep most
Speaker 1: of the school going building.
Speaker 3: That is filled with yucky, nasty teenagers who do not
Speaker 3: care about getting anything in the trash spilling on the ground.
Speaker 3: They keep high schools actually nice? Yeah, they are the best.
Speaker 2: And again, this poor man is in jail for something
Speaker 2: that they haven't met. It's like they're literally coughing them basically,
Speaker 2: and it's like, what did he do? What crime did
Speaker 2: this guy commit?
Speaker 1: What did he do?
Speaker 3: He apologize for something like sorry, I just wanted attention.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's like, why can't this guy be the chicken?
Speaker 2: The other guy didn't show up? What it's so strange?
Speaker 2: I like they arrest him he was pretending to be
Speaker 2: a chicken, Like what so with the real chicken now
Speaker 2: where to be found. Fans start piling out of the gym.
Speaker 2: Even the principal tosses a chicken had away and as
Speaker 2: the sad scene unfolds. Pete joins Kletus in the audience
Speaker 2: with a bucket of popcorn, with no crowd and a
Speaker 2: completely silent cheerleader group. The roosters are again totally blown out,
Speaker 2: and even the cheerleaders like, let's go.
Speaker 1: I'm not supporting these I.
Speaker 2: Was like, Wow, what the hell is going on with you?
Speaker 1: Terrible school?
Speaker 3: You have not mentioned the heckler that comes.
Speaker 1: I was going to let you do it. I was
Speaker 1: gonna let you do it.
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, we will. We'll go over her.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Later the next day at school, Principal Daily is having
Speaker 2: a word with coach McKay.
Speaker 1: It's obviously.
Speaker 2: It's obvious people only attend games to see the chicken,
Speaker 2: and his absence is becoming an economic issue, you know,
Speaker 2: because high schools are only able to stay afloat thanks
Speaker 2: to the ticket sales from their varsity basketball team. So now,
Speaker 2: for the sake of the town, they need a chicken
Speaker 2: to come back. He's spoken with the sheriff and they're
Speaker 2: willing to drop the charges if the mascot returns.
Speaker 1: By the way, the janitor was executed the night before.
Speaker 1: I know. It was very sad.
Speaker 2: So they need to tell the chicken he won't be
Speaker 2: arrested if he comes back. So here's what they decide
Speaker 2: to do. They gather all the students and announce since
Speaker 2: one of them is definitely the chicken, all criminal charges
Speaker 2: will be dropped and no one will attack or demask
Speaker 2: him at the game. Even Dill agrees they need him back.
Speaker 2: And with that, Pete IVY decides to reveal himself. It's
Speaker 2: finally time. But as he stands up, the bell rings
Speaker 2: and the entire student body rushes back to class, blocking
Speaker 2: anything Pete was about to expose.
Speaker 1: So they set up this.
Speaker 2: Class announcement gave them thirty seconds to.
Speaker 1: Tell people what to do. Ok, they didn't give anybody.
Speaker 2: A chance to stand about, and then the bell rings
Speaker 2: that everyone rushes back to class. This is what I
Speaker 2: was sitting here going like, I don't think yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't think they know what they're doing. I don't think
Speaker 2: they know how to make this movie. I think they're
Speaker 2: making it up as they go along. I was like, really,
Speaker 2: I know what. Hey, the bell rings, It's like, hey, wait,
Speaker 2: everybody stay in your seats. Does anybody want to stand
Speaker 2: up and say they're the chicken? Let's maybe give it
Speaker 2: another ten seconds. No, you set up an entire school
Speaker 2: assembly for a sixty second thing, and then the class
Speaker 2: starts again. Oh it's so weird, it's so weird. Yes,
Speaker 2: so anyway I remember.
Speaker 3: The first time?
Speaker 1: Yes, so hard because it's true.
Speaker 2: In the halls, Angela that investigates the yearbrook, who could
Speaker 2: it be? Her cheerleading pals loudly explain it can't be
Speaker 2: Pete Ivy because he's not cool enough or wild enough,
Speaker 2: and that's when Angela spots Pete and walks over to
Speaker 2: say hi.
Speaker 1: Angela doubles down. She doesn't know who it is.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's Keith Burke, And with that dumb idea, she
Speaker 2: ends up, probably to go see another fake.
Speaker 1: No, I have a boyfriend in Canada. And now it's
Speaker 1: another game night.
Speaker 2: The sheriff meets with Principal Daily to promise they won't
Speaker 2: arrest him if her returns, but fans already know they've
Speaker 2: been stood up again. Their hero is gone and the
Speaker 2: team is again creamed. So the next day, Principal Day
Speaker 2: has a new idea, the Rooster Signal. It's named that
Speaker 2: even though again the mascot is a chicken, I'll never
Speaker 2: get over that. The principal believes when they shine the
Speaker 2: light into the sky, the mascot will return like a
Speaker 2: superhero or something, And honestly, I think it's a pretty
Speaker 2: cool idea. They should, you know, incorporate something like this
Speaker 2: into a comic book. I'll even do the voice for
Speaker 2: it if it becomes a cartoon, and I think what
Speaker 2: we can call it the something Signal. We'll figure it
Speaker 2: out anyway. Pete notices a flyer for a high school
Speaker 2: radio event being held by the basketball announcer, Tommy Thompson.
Speaker 2: He has challenged the chicken to show his face for
Speaker 2: the school's TV channel, and it seems like a talk
Speaker 2: show might be the best way for Pete to address this,
Speaker 2: so we go to the broadcast. Tommy is sitting across
Speaker 2: from the costume chicken. Pete is talking with an electronically altered,
Speaker 2: high pitched voice to a pack studio audience. Explains that
Speaker 2: if he removes the mask, he's just an average guy,
Speaker 2: and as he tries to convince everyone to let him be,
Speaker 2: Tommy brings out Coach McKay and the coach the first
Speaker 2: thing he does is come out and shake Tommy's hand.
Speaker 1: It's like, I'm a really big fan, if we can
Speaker 1: get a picture after it.
Speaker 2: So funny like the kid, the kid in their school
Speaker 2: doing the local things like I'm just a really big fan,
Speaker 2: so if we can really great. He stole this whatever
Speaker 2: movie he was in, he stole.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So the coach knows the team can't win without the
Speaker 2: chicken and begs him to come to their last game.
Speaker 2: They shake on his return, promising safety and the paper
Speaker 2: banner to run through. So now the mascot reiterates he
Speaker 2: will be at the game, but he'll be in the
Speaker 2: stands just like every other student there. He will keep
Speaker 2: his identity a secret forever because the magic is in
Speaker 2: the mystery. And that's a turner phrase Angelia used earlier.
Speaker 2: So now she watches the show, she grins, she's gonna
Speaker 2: bag that chicken. Back at the house Bakery garage, Kletus
Speaker 2: tries to convince Pete to where the costume won last
Speaker 2: time for the game, but Pete doesn't ready. He may
Speaker 2: never want to reveal himself. What if people stop liking
Speaker 2: the chicken because it's just him. Kleta says, you can
Speaker 2: live your whole life in a shell, or you can hatch. Now,
Speaker 2: all of a sudden he's trying to be a good guy.
Speaker 2: Pete walks away, and as he does, Kletas reaches into
Speaker 2: a local drawer close to him and steals money and
Speaker 2: a wallet from the family. I mean, seriously, would you
Speaker 2: he doesn't do that, but I wouldn't deny it. I mean,
Speaker 2: come on, he's the worst.
Speaker 1: He's the worst.
Speaker 2: Pete walks away, willing to let people down and keep
Speaker 2: his anonymity safe. And now it's time for the final game.
Speaker 2: Coach McKay is trying to convince his team they can
Speaker 2: beat their undefeated opponents. Without the Chicken, they can't end
Speaker 2: the season winless, but deep down, everyone knows they need him.
Speaker 2: The players notice that every single seat is filled in
Speaker 2: the gym. The energy is electric. So when they lose
Speaker 2: the jump ball and give him a quick few baskets,
Speaker 2: Cletis really hopes Pete is coming. Del calls for a
Speaker 2: timeout and launches into frustrated instructions for his players, and
Speaker 2: that's when the lights go out. Principal Daily wheels out
Speaker 2: his two thousand dollars rooster signal, whispering to him.
Speaker 1: This is it, this is it.
Speaker 2: He shines it into the rafters and reveals the chicken
Speaker 2: hanging from the wires, screamingta doo, don't do it. Cheerleaders
Speaker 2: run out the paper banner as he flies down, crashing
Speaker 2: through it and then turning the fall into a flip.
Speaker 2: He's somehow not attached to the wires anymore. He dances,
Speaker 2: and now everyone is ready to win, which we know
Speaker 2: because the entire gym, including an opposing player, has broken
Speaker 2: into another song and dance number to let it go.
Speaker 1: One rooster's even doing the.
Speaker 2: Worms, so yes, it's the same song want, the only
Speaker 2: song in this entire town. The teams once again take
Speaker 2: the court and the Roosters dominate. Dyl steals the ball
Speaker 2: in dunks, a feat even he didn't know as possible. Also,
Speaker 2: I think I should put out that the marching band
Speaker 2: now has a set of drums and an electric guitar,
Speaker 2: like they're in Fallout Boy, and they're playing throughout the game,
Speaker 2: just jamming while the chicken performs his moves and trampoline
Speaker 2: dunks to keep the crowd loose. And as the game progresses,
Speaker 2: the Roosters have kept it within ten. They're in this thing,
Speaker 2: and now during a time out, the guitar continues to
Speaker 2: shred and the chicken faces the music, The crowd chance
Speaker 2: wanting to remove his head. They chant chicken, chicken, chicken,
Speaker 2: and Tommy Thompson applies the pressure. They need to know
Speaker 2: who it is, and so Pete comes to the realization
Speaker 2: it's time for him to hatch. He slowly starts to
Speaker 2: remove the head again when Angela runs out to the
Speaker 2: court and she says, let me give you a hand
Speaker 2: with that Pete. And they had to do that for
Speaker 2: the movie because she needed to let everyone know that
Speaker 2: she knew it was Pete before he took the chicken
Speaker 2: head off, because she wanted everyone to know that she
Speaker 2: actually loved Pete for Pete and not that he was
Speaker 2: a chicken. And yeah, they couldn't have done that before.
Speaker 2: Come on, So she supports his final move. The crowd
Speaker 2: gasps as he reveals his face. We hear a lot
Speaker 2: of confusion in someone yells who is that guy? People
Speaker 2: are clearly disappointed, but not Angela. She's smiling ear to ear,
Speaker 2: happy to see she was right. As the baffled crowd
Speaker 2: tries to figure it out, Kleta stands up to announce
Speaker 2: it's Pete Pete IVY. Then, in a part of the script,
Speaker 2: I can't even start to understand his parents actually recognize
Speaker 2: him too. The school quickly turns from confused to thrilled.
Speaker 2: They scream and applaud, and Angela explains that his answer
Speaker 2: about mysterious magic tipped her off. The crowd now chants Pete, pete,
Speaker 2: so he puts the head back on and returns to
Speaker 2: what he does best. The Roosters call their final timeout
Speaker 2: and Kletus runs over to the marching band. He now
Speaker 2: jumps behind the empty drum set and starts to play.
Speaker 2: The Roosters quickly steal an inbound and score an easy layup.
Speaker 2: The band roars back up. Cletus is now wailing on
Speaker 2: the drums like Hiss Dave Roll. The Roosters are down
Speaker 2: four with seventeen seconds left. They apply full court pressure
Speaker 2: and again steal the ball. Deal scores with another dunk,
Speaker 2: and the cheerleaders now in a pyramid with the chicken
Speaker 2: balancing in the middle. The team is down two with
Speaker 2: eight seconds left. When the visitors dribble it down the court,
Speaker 2: the clock continues to run out. With four seconds left,
Speaker 2: the same kid steals the ball, most likely setting an
Speaker 2: all time basketball record for most steals in ten seconds
Speaker 2: he passes it off to Dill at half court with
Speaker 2: one second left. Till lunges from deep three point territory
Speaker 2: and it's good. Roosters win and yes, you're correct, Pete
Speaker 2: had nothing to do with any of that.
Speaker 1: And they score. It's a final scene.
Speaker 2: Whoo. The crowd goes nuts and the cheerleaders tumble to
Speaker 2: the floor, leaving Angela on top of the chicken.
Speaker 1: Told you she was gonna bang that chicken.
Speaker 2: Kletas runs out from behind the drums, a move never
Speaker 2: explained in any way, shape or form. The crowd rushes
Speaker 2: the court as Angela kisses the now unmasked Pete. Kleidas
Speaker 2: makes his way to the lovebirds and demands his best
Speaker 2: friend put his head back on. The crowd loves him,
Speaker 2: and so we get our final credits with the alternate
Speaker 2: shots of the rooster Day's bread and the chicken moves
Speaker 2: from earlier in the game. We freeze on the chicken
Speaker 2: being tossed in the air after the big win, and
Speaker 2: that's our movie. Oooooooo. Let's do some real reviews and
Speaker 2: I can't wait to read these. You've got the five

Speaker 2: this is a real review that was found online and
Speaker 2: it reads thusly. My teacher wrote this, I'm not kidding, hi,
Speaker 2: mister Schwartz. I'm sorry your really cool idea got stolen
Speaker 2: by your fourth cousin who was basically ninety one star.
Speaker 2: So apparently this movie was stolen. Not sure anyone should
Speaker 2: be sad their name was left off this. But that's
Speaker 2: a first. We've never seen that one. That's amazing. We now,
Speaker 2: of course, come to Sabrina's favorite part of the program,
Speaker 2: that is our feature presentation, and this week we are
Speaker 2: going with something called mascot Madness to celebrate this movie's
Speaker 2: fascination with mascots, will be given the name of professional
Speaker 2: sports team mascots. We have to get the same thing.

Speaker 2: list of multiple choice options. Three out of five wins.

Speaker 2: Well, thank you for that, Producer Jensen. I love feeling
Speaker 2: inadequate as I finish a podcast.
Speaker 1: Can we now do a Sabrina Seas?
Speaker 3: We absolutely can? So it's so funny to do these
Speaker 3: kind of again. Right. One of the things that I
Speaker 3: said in the first one, and it actually ended up
Speaker 3: being a clip like in our very first like Instagram post,
Speaker 3: was I said, was that a Joe Bro Because Dylan,
Speaker 3: the like the male hunky guy that's the captain of
Speaker 3: the basketball team, looks so much like he could fit
Speaker 3: right in with the Jonas brothers.
Speaker 1: Y mean Dyl, Yeah.
Speaker 3: And when I first saw the movie the first time,
Speaker 3: and then as soon as he came on screen again,
Speaker 3: I was like, it's still he looks like he could
Speaker 3: be a Jonas brother.
Speaker 1: He looks like a Joe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looks like like he could totally be a
Speaker 3: Joe Bro. We talked about, I mean, why I'm starting
Speaker 3: to instantly worst friend ever. We're talking blackmail, We're talking
Speaker 3: all the things, the shack, the car repair shop, all
Speaker 3: this stuff we've already gone through because it's just too
Speaker 3: to pull back. One of the things, and you sort
Speaker 3: of touched on it was just the ultimate hair flips
Speaker 3: between I mean, it was like a battle of the
Speaker 3: hair flips between Jason.
Speaker 1: Mitchell.
Speaker 3: Yes, It's like it's that hair flip style. That was
Speaker 3: part of why you got it cut that way, was
Speaker 3: to hang in the eyes and be able to do
Speaker 3: the Bieber flip. And I just loved watching them because
Speaker 3: they're so young. Oh yeah, you could totally cut your
Speaker 3: hair like that. Now, question, how was he allowed to walk?
Speaker 1: Stop it?
Speaker 3: Stop it?
Speaker 1: Well, what's going on? What's up?
Speaker 3: How was he allowed to walk? I mean, at the
Speaker 3: end of the day, the car was stolen, like someone
Speaker 3: took off with the sheriff's cor cock car. I mean,
Speaker 3: was it a ridiculous cop car because it was a
Speaker 3: convertible cop car. Okay, but someone took it. They have
Speaker 3: somebody who obviously is a part of the shindig, and
Speaker 3: they let him go without telling him. Is that how
Speaker 3: it would have worked? He says, He admits that he
Speaker 3: knows who it is, and he's saying, but I can't
Speaker 3: tell you. And then his dad lets him go as well,
Speaker 3: like tell me that, and.
Speaker 4: That says, I'm proud of you for not being a
Speaker 4: good friend, but okay, and then that that was the
Speaker 4: last thing.
Speaker 3: Oh no, So this is one of the things I
Speaker 3: was gonna say. We see so much basketball in this movie,
Speaker 3: more basketball than I think we even saw in Double
Speaker 3: maybe competitive with And this is what made me think
Speaker 3: of it was since it's we're right around the twenty
Speaker 3: year anniversary of high school musical, I kind of have
Speaker 3: to bring in the fact that that's one of the
Speaker 3: only movies that we saw. I mean, zac Efron's character
Speaker 3: plays basketball throughout the entire movie. He's constantly got about
Speaker 3: all in these Handy's planes, but he bouncing it whatever.
Speaker 3: You know, his dad and him, and this is commpetitive
Speaker 3: with how much basketball there is in high school musical.
Speaker 3: I think last one was did the gym size bleachers
Speaker 3: in the lot? Were they in a different gym? They
Speaker 3: were in their home gym.
Speaker 1: I think it wanted to look huge, something higher.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like the high the bleachers got much higher than
Speaker 3: what they were.
Speaker 1: I agree they had to fold it out an extra
Speaker 1: thing because extra people came.
Speaker 3: I guess, so like it like literally got higher. And
Speaker 3: then lastly, we cannot end this session talking about our Heckler,
Speaker 3: this lady who was like a fairly large character in
Speaker 3: the movie but not a character at all, but so
Speaker 3: aggressive in her character choices of accoly, why are you there?
Speaker 1: What are you there for? You don't like the team, obviously?
Speaker 3: Do you like the team? You're too old to be
Speaker 3: a parent of someone on the team.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 3: You just keep coming back to these games and hating
Speaker 3: on them, like, oh my god. She was one of
Speaker 3: the funniest characters of the.
Speaker 1: Whole so weird. It was so weird, it's hilarious. Oh god, well,
Speaker 1: thank you for that.
Speaker 2: Now it comes to the point in our program, of course,
Speaker 2: where we have to rate the film we just saw,
Speaker 2: and thankfully you get to go first this week.
Speaker 1: I went first last year.
Speaker 2: Gosh, we're going to do one out of sixty with
Speaker 2: forty eight being the highest but twelve being the middle. No,
Speaker 2: we'll do one out of ten. That's easier, one out
Speaker 2: of ten, and we'll do ten as the highest.
Speaker 3: And the options are.
Speaker 2: Our options this week are let it goes chickens not
Speaker 2: roosters one out of ten, house bakery garages one out
Speaker 2: of ten, hypoallergenic chicken heads George Carlin laughs, rocket ships
Speaker 2: and space shuttles one out of ten, cheerleader kidnappings one
Speaker 2: out of tend Jamie's loose ruled parents, manipulative best friends,
Speaker 2: TAMU chickens one o ten, r and B janitorsickens or one.
Speaker 1: Out of ten.
Speaker 2: Marching band, electric guitar souls. I think I get to
Speaker 2: pick this week and you have to go for two.
Speaker 2: You do You said you couldn't do it, so we're
Speaker 2: gonna do Let it go Dig it. You didn't want
Speaker 2: to do it, so that's gonna be the fun part.
Speaker 3: I didn't hate the song though.
Speaker 2: I didn't hate it either, but it's not as good
Speaker 2: as not ELSA Well, thank you one with the Sky.
Speaker 3: So here's the thing. As wild as it is, this movie,
Speaker 3: and how just cuckoo for cocoa puffs it is? It
Speaker 3: really is. Ill had to like. It's still a funny
Speaker 3: movie to watch. The cast holds this movie up. They
Speaker 3: really do. Mitchell's hilarious. Jason Dally is everything you need
Speaker 3: in a like rom calm crush, you know, the you know,
Speaker 3: the guy gets the girl like do you know what
Speaker 3: I mean? Like, it's all of those things. Even though
Speaker 3: it's wild and the storyline makes no sense, I still
Speaker 3: liked it. I did, I really did. I did not
Speaker 3: hate this movie. I still am gonna give this movie.
Speaker 3: I like, I said the I mean, oh gosh, it's
Speaker 3: just so many funny parts. It had me laughing, it
Speaker 3: had me smiling, It had me rolling my eyes at
Speaker 3: a lot of the parts. But I still liked it,
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna give it an eight. Oh my god, wow,
Speaker 3: wow goes. I don't know if this is I find
Speaker 3: out one of the things where we kind of tell
Speaker 3: our fans not to do. And it's this two year
Speaker 3: worth of nostalgia for me that holds it up so high.
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I just truly the lowest psychico
Speaker 3: would be a seven point five.
Speaker 2: But I don't want to, Okay, hey, you gotta go
Speaker 2: your way. And I understand that feeling because it does
Speaker 2: hold a special place for us.
Speaker 1: Obviously does.
Speaker 3: And I just love these characters, Like the actors just
Speaker 3: really did such a great job for me. I mean,
Speaker 3: if you Ryan is unbelievable in it, I think it's
Speaker 3: just funny.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. The as individual bits, it's funny.
Speaker 2: Yes, the actors are great. It's arguably the worst character
Speaker 2: in the history of dcoms with Mitchell Musso's character, who's just.
Speaker 3: If you're gonna go there go, I guess.
Speaker 1: I guess.
Speaker 2: So it seems like they had they got all the
Speaker 2: perfect pieces to build a race car and last minute
Speaker 2: decided to make a merry go round instead, where it
Speaker 2: was just like you took all those pieces and you
Speaker 2: did something else with them, Like what, really, that's what.
Speaker 1: You decided to do with them?
Speaker 3: Not a very good I.
Speaker 2: Feel like you I feel like you do in that
Speaker 2: love the care, love the actors, love the cast. Script
Speaker 2: makes no sense, huge story points you could drive trucks through.
Speaker 2: There's not a really redeeming girl in the whole movie.
Speaker 2: Even the one who's there is lying to him most
Speaker 2: of the time about the boyfriend, and then she falls
Speaker 2: for just the chicken, and then she's happy she doesn't
Speaker 2: have to bang that one.
Speaker 1: Dude, who's the chicken?
Speaker 2: It The movie is so all over the place, but
Speaker 2: it does hold a special place for me. So I
Speaker 2: think I'm being generous by saying I'm gonna give it
Speaker 2: six point five lead it goes.
Speaker 1: It's It's just it's a weird movie.
Speaker 2: Again, love this cast so much, but the film itself
Speaker 2: was weird.
Speaker 1: Yes, was weird, but there you go. But we brought
Speaker 1: it back our first one ever. Our next movie is
Speaker 1: a stone cold classic. So to go.
Speaker 2: From the Dali Muso duo, we are recapping two thousand
Speaker 2: and nine's Princess Protection Program starring Demi Lovado and Selena Gomez.
Speaker 1: Yes, arguably even bigger duo. They are the tag team
Speaker 1: champs if.
Speaker 2: You ask me, and it is currently streaming on Disney Plus.
Speaker 2: So jump in now. If you want to go ahead
Speaker 2: and watch that. But before we do that, this week,
Speaker 2: for our park Opper episode, we are talking to an
Speaker 2: actor who recently impressed us in the d Coom Right
Speaker 2: on Track.
Speaker 1: We love that movie.
Speaker 2: He's no old Palamne from his time on Boy Meets World,
Speaker 2: but you might recognize him from Little Giants or Toothless
Speaker 2: or Jingle all the way. It is the best crew
Speaker 2: chief in all of hot rod racing. That's right, Marcus
Speaker 2: Toji is going to be joining us. He is such
Speaker 2: a great guy and we'd love talking to him. Here's
Speaker 2: a little snippet of what you can expect to hear.
Speaker 5: It was a joke, but it's also very hard to
Speaker 5: get in and out of those cars, right, So to
Speaker 5: have you know, Beverly Mitchell like putting on her helmet
Speaker 5: watching her get into the car. It's not like a
Speaker 5: glamorous looking thing, you know, so it's always like she's
Speaker 5: in the car when you see it, or she's you know,
Speaker 5: stepping up and taking off the helmet and doing the hair.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: That was totally fun.
Speaker 2: Again, talk to this guy twice now for two hours,
Speaker 2: and I could do it again. He's a ton of fun.
Speaker 2: He is the best, and he's really really great in
Speaker 2: that movie. That was a movie that shocked us right
Speaker 2: on track. We really liked it. Get to know him
Speaker 2: a little better with our interview on the dedicated Magical
