Speaker 1: How many proms did you go to?
Speaker 2: Everyone? Now, what does that mean? Everyone?
Speaker 1: Did you go to a prom from the time you
Speaker 1: were a freshman? Were you one of those people? Did
Speaker 1: you go to four proms?
Speaker 3: You know what?
Speaker 2: No, I did not go to prom my freshman year.
Speaker 2: I did not.
Speaker 1: But you went sophomore, junior, and senior year.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, I had my boyfriend my freshman year at
Speaker 3: the beginning of the year was a senior of course, and.
Speaker 2: Then yeah, I don't I did go.
Speaker 3: You know what I did go my freshman year. I
Speaker 3: went from the set of a pilot that I was doing.
Speaker 3: I got ready at the set and then the limo
Speaker 3: picked us up there and we went to the prom
Speaker 3: from there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you went to four freshman year prom.
Speaker 2: Dress looked like a wedding dress. That was ridiculous. It
Speaker 2: was white. I'd gloves, That's the whole thing. Do you
Speaker 2: know what?
Speaker 1: You know what I wore to my freshman I were
Speaker 1: the same thing to my freshman, sophomore, and senior prompt.
Speaker 1: You know what? It was a black nothing. Because I
Speaker 1: didn't go. Because all of us get a chance to
Speaker 1: go to prom four times, Sabrina, Wait, you didn't go
Speaker 1: to one why I went to a junior prom with
Speaker 1: a friend of mine.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, then you did go to a prom.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I went to one junior problem with one junior prom. Okay.
Speaker 1: I was on Boy Meets World and couldn't get a
Speaker 1: date for my senior prom. So I went bowling with
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys.
Speaker 2: Probably were busy. They probably wouldn't even let you go, no,
Speaker 2: because you're probably working. No, I was back in Connecticut.
Speaker 2: I was. I was there, I was at high school
Speaker 2: and you couldn't you couldn't get a date.
Speaker 3: Will I feel like it's true? I need to talk
Speaker 3: to I need to phone one of your brothers or something.
Speaker 3: I's it's true, It's true.
Speaker 1: The night of the senior prom, I ended up going
Speaker 1: bowling with a bunch of underclassmen who were hippies, and
Speaker 1: we couldn't rent shoes because they only had Teva's and
Speaker 1: they forgot their socks. So, oh, everybody just smoke pot
Speaker 1: in the parking lot of the bowling alley.
Speaker 2: That was senior prom. Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we literally couldn't rent shoes because they didn't have socks,
Speaker 1: these little hippie kids, right.
Speaker 2: And to be fair, I would say, back then, we
Speaker 2: did actually go to the prom.
Speaker 3: Now there were you know situations happening on the way
Speaker 3: to the prom. I remember pulling up and seeing this
Speaker 3: big party bus, a big bus full of other kids
Speaker 3: that they turned on the lights and there was you know,
Speaker 3: drinking and stuff on the bus.
Speaker 1: Which one of the four problems was this that you
Speaker 1: went to that was my junior year.
Speaker 3: Was the the seniors that did that. And I remember going,
Speaker 3: you're so I mean, all the security guards were out there,
Speaker 3: they all got busted.
Speaker 2: It was crazy.
Speaker 3: But now I feel like when I talked to the girls,
Speaker 3: if they go to the dances at all anymore, they
Speaker 3: maybe stay for a hot second and then their main
Speaker 3: night is going to like the parties or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 3: they don't really go. Well, they don't tell me they
Speaker 3: go to parties. They would never admit, they direct to me,
Speaker 3: but they don't really go to the actual dance. That
Speaker 3: was my favorite part, going and dancing with all the
Speaker 3: girls and your your guy, your date would come on
Speaker 3: the floor for a little bit, maybe a slow dance
Speaker 3: here and there, but it was always about a fun
Speaker 3: night with your girlfriends. I loved dances. I went as
Speaker 3: many as I could.
Speaker 2: That's great.
Speaker 1: Well, tell your girls if they go to the prom
Speaker 1: this year to bring socks or they're not gonna be
Speaker 1: up for rent shoes at the bowling. Welcome back to
Speaker 1: Magical Rewind, the show that makes you want to grab
Speaker 1: your friends, your pgs and your popcorn and go back
Speaker 1: to a time when all the houses were smart, the waves,
Speaker 1: tsunamis and the high School's musical.
Speaker 2: I'm Wilfordell and I'm Sabrina Bryan.
Speaker 1: Okay, well let's age it up, everybody, because we're entering
Speaker 1: uncharted territory with this week's movie, our most modern recap
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, I'm gonna say it out loud, but
Speaker 1: not a dcom. It's a dcom, but not a d coom.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty three is Coming of Age Romantic Comedy prom
Speaker 1: Packed and Oh This Is Not Your Parent arans d
Speaker 1: com garnering the first ever TV fourteen in the channel's history,
Speaker 1: ushering a new era for the tradition now. When it
Speaker 1: first aired on Disney Channel Proper on March thirty first
Speaker 1: of last year, there were minor bits of the dialogue
Speaker 1: that were edited. For instance, there's a supermarket scene that
Speaker 1: talks about putting a p in a v I will
Speaker 1: let you decide what that is. But that was a
Speaker 1: d com and so they edited out some of that dialogue.
Speaker 1: But once it was then released onto Disney Plus, everything
Speaker 1: was back intact. It was reportedly first set to be
Speaker 1: a Disney Plus exclusive, but once the channel saw it
Speaker 1: and they loved it so much, they decided they would
Speaker 1: air the entire premiere. It was considered a big success
Speaker 1: for the channel, especially when it came to the reviews.
Speaker 1: Michael Nordine a Variety called it quote a fresh take
Speaker 1: on Teendom's Big Night, saying that the performance of Peyton
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Lee would make Molly Ringwald proud, and Collider said
Speaker 1: it's the perfect choice of a flick for you to
Speaker 1: watch when you're in the mood for something light and fun.
Speaker 1: It was an excellent cast, The jokes come easy, and
Speaker 1: it's a true celebration of friendship. By the way, I
Speaker 1: agree with all of that. Still didn't feel like a deco.
Speaker 1: We'll get into the entire film obviously, but we're talking
Speaker 1: about the thirty seven problems that you went to. Did
Speaker 1: you were there promposals like they had here? Were there
Speaker 1: the crazy prom asks? So?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: This I mean I was so fun to think about it.
Speaker 3: It wasn't I would say, as dressed up and comical
Speaker 3: as the ones that were in this movie. But I
Speaker 3: know I want to throw out the last one I
Speaker 3: was asked to thou that was senior, my junior prom
Speaker 3: because my boyfriend was a senior. So when it was
Speaker 3: my senior year, I actually did some asking of him
Speaker 3: to call my dances because he was out of high school.
Speaker 3: So that's what happened with that. But my last one
Speaker 3: I had. I came home and there.
Speaker 2: Was hershey kisses, just a big thick row of.
Speaker 3: Hershey kisses leading up to my bathroom, and then in
Speaker 3: my shower were roses everyone, and it says, I kiss
Speaker 3: the ground you walk on and shower you with roses?
Speaker 2: Will you go to proms? Oh that's very sweet.
Speaker 1: So someone broke into your home and into your shower,
Speaker 1: that's very My.
Speaker 2: Parents let him in. But one made me think of one.
Speaker 3: I remember a girlfriend of mine got pulled over while
Speaker 3: she was driving and the cop gave her a ticket
Speaker 3: that said prom with I think it was Nathan or
Speaker 3: something like that.
Speaker 1: Oh, that is such a sweet and horrible allocation of
Speaker 1: the money that people need to pay the police. Horrible.
Speaker 2: No, but that's clever.
Speaker 3: That would have scared me because anytime anything happens, when
Speaker 3: every time I've gotten pulled over, the cop comes to
Speaker 3: my door and I'm crying because I get so scared
Speaker 3: getting pulled over, that I would not have liked that one.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to ask if you've been pulled over
Speaker 1: more or gone to prom more.
Speaker 2: I don't want to know the answer. No, not just
Speaker 2: a few times. I speed a little bit, yeah I do.
Speaker 2: But the big one.
Speaker 3: I remember we were out at break and we heard
Speaker 3: an airplane and I'm kid you not. Someone had paid
Speaker 3: for someone to have I think it was homecoming or hope,
Speaker 3: like they call it hoko something. It wasn't prom, but
Speaker 3: it was one of those with a with an airplane
Speaker 3: in the sky and all of us with a banner,
Speaker 3: No the written out ones.
Speaker 1: Oh they did the actual writing. It wasn't the banner school.
Speaker 3: And I just remember going, oh, my gosh, that's not
Speaker 3: cheap either, that's not cheap. But I couldn't believe it. So, yeah,
Speaker 3: this was It was a big deal. When I was
Speaker 3: in high school. How you got asked It wasn't just
Speaker 3: getting a date. It was how did they ask.
Speaker 1: So I'm glad that that wasn't the thing in my
Speaker 1: school because it would have been twice as bad. By
Speaker 1: the way, everybody, you can watch this on Disney Plus.
Speaker 1: I don't think I said that, but this is currently
Speaker 1: on Disney Plus right now. Yes, the the unedited after
Speaker 1: Dark with P and V version. Oh, it's on Disney Plus.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: We talked last week about how we are essentially myself especially,
Speaker 1: but even you now kind of out of the dcom
Speaker 1: game when it comes to the newer ones. So had
Speaker 1: you ever heard of I had not.
Speaker 2: I really had not, and I was I.
Speaker 3: Feel like, as I know what it was like to
Speaker 3: do things for the Channel, I feel like I have
Speaker 3: no idea I am. I mean watching this movie was
Speaker 3: there's my Sabrina that you have to see?
Speaker 2: How long it is?
Speaker 3: It's it sees lots because it's like, wait a minute,
Speaker 3: where are the standards and practices who used to drive
Speaker 3: us crazy with everything from wardrobe to what can be said?
Speaker 1: Tons to see yes, oh my gosh, and they would.
Speaker 3: I mean, it was good because it was the Channel,
Speaker 3: but this was like that person got fired.
Speaker 2: There's no way that person was on set at all.
Speaker 1: Now they were in a whole different category here. But anyway,
Speaker 1: before we check our mailboxes for our Harvard acceptance letter.
Speaker 1: See I said mailboxes, I just age myself before we
Speaker 1: check our smartphones, before we refresh our smartphones to chest
Speaker 1: for our Harvard acceptance letter. Let's get into the synopsis
Speaker 1: of the film. It is the height of prompt season,
Speaker 1: but high school senior Mandy Yang has her sight set
Speaker 1: on a singular goal, attending Harvard good goal. When she
Speaker 1: finds out she's been waitlisted, She's determined to do whatever
Speaker 1: she can to get herself off that waitlist, even if
Speaker 1: it means neglecting her best friend Ben and befriending Graham Lancing,
Speaker 1: the all star jock whose father is a powerful senator
Speaker 1: and a Harvard alum.
Speaker 2: What'd you think?
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, he likes to be called an athlete,
Speaker 3: not a jock. So I'm gonna stop you right there.
Speaker 1: Fair enough.
Speaker 2: Hey, I liked that. I liked it.
Speaker 3: I felt jock is now kind of dated. I and
Speaker 3: the athletes are considered athletes. But I honestly, I have
Speaker 3: two ways of looking at this. Of course, I'm going
Speaker 3: to compare my experience on the channel, But more.
Speaker 2: So I loved this movie.
Speaker 3: I had to stop and go, is this a Disney
Speaker 3: Channel original movie? This was on the channel because it
Speaker 3: was so much more filmed like an actual film. I
Speaker 3: kept thinking, oh wait, I must have it wrong in
Speaker 3: my head. Let me check Tara's messages, you know, thinking
Speaker 3: this was on ABC. I did not think that this
Speaker 3: ever really was actually on the channel. So I was
Speaker 3: waiting and waiting for the notes from Jensen and Mackayla
Speaker 3: to come over to tell us more about it, because
Speaker 3: I was like, what is the real deal? So hearing
Speaker 3: that it actually was for Disney Plus, then it was
Speaker 3: on the channel, then it was edited to be on
Speaker 3: the channel, that all made sense and I could rest
Speaker 3: easy because I.
Speaker 1: Was so good.
Speaker 2: It's DC I know, but it's a dcom. But it
Speaker 2: didn't air completely like that.
Speaker 3: Like the words the dialogue for me was the most
Speaker 3: of okay, now we're really changing like the standard of
Speaker 3: what would be four Kids on Disney Channel.
Speaker 1: Right, I know it's It certainly did not feel like
Speaker 1: a dcom, but it was. I even checked it starts
Speaker 1: to my big Disney Channel original movie.
Speaker 3: I was amazed, Frank, I know, I had to check, though,
Speaker 3: I just because of what was happening, and how I
Speaker 3: just thought.
Speaker 2: From the beginning of the production.
Speaker 3: Value and just everything, it looked so much bigger than
Speaker 3: what we've seen on a lot of the d coms.
Speaker 1: I really liked it.
Speaker 2: I loved it.
Speaker 1: I know, I really, I really liked it. You know
Speaker 1: what it reminded me of. It reminded me of more
Speaker 1: of the vibe of like easy A.
Speaker 2: Did you ever see it?
Speaker 1: Do you see that movie? Like something along those lines
Speaker 1: where it was. I thought the acting was top notch.
Speaker 1: It looked amazing. It just and I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: bash on the dcoms that we've been watching, but it
Speaker 1: looked like it was like one step up from what
Speaker 1: the other d cooms kind of were. Even stuff like Descendants,
Speaker 1: which is a new a newer kind of dcom, didn't
Speaker 1: feel as fresh and modern and high level acting, high
Speaker 1: level writing as this movie was. Well.
Speaker 3: And I think the talking about the cast, we've we've
Speaker 3: known that these d comms, their demo was really eleven.
Speaker 2: Fourteen is kind of what their target audience was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the more so reflected that this one, you
Speaker 3: could tell they aged it up. The actors all look
Speaker 3: a lot more like what a high school, not just
Speaker 3: the high school, but seniors in high school.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, not even freshman, sophomore.
Speaker 1: So they looked the ages they were supposed to play.
Speaker 1: It looked age appropriate.
Speaker 3: Yes, everything just looked a lot more grown and sophisticated.
Speaker 3: So I and it totally comes right from the start.
Speaker 3: I loved it. It was I felt like I was
Speaker 3: watching a movie that I went, like easy a to.
Speaker 2: The theaters to go see not.
Speaker 1: I agree with you one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: It was awesome. I loved it. I cannot wait to
Speaker 2: keep talking about it.
Speaker 1: The movie stars Peyton Elizabeth Lee as Mandy, who was incredible.
Speaker 1: She's best in his Disney's Andy Mack, becoming one of
Speaker 1: the studios go to young stars ever since the movie
Speaker 1: a Secret Society of the second Born Royals, and as
Speaker 1: the lead child prodigy in the Doogie Howser reboot Doogie
Speaker 1: Howser Kamel Loha Hope. I said it right, md Ugh.
Speaker 1: It's worth noting also she is one of the producers
Speaker 1: of the movie. She's like nineteen years old. She's one
Speaker 1: of the producers, which is awesome, showing that Disney gives
Speaker 1: a lot more power to its younger stars. In the
Speaker 1: d coms nowadays, and I love that it's like her
Speaker 1: voice was in there.
Speaker 3: Yes, I think Raven was one of the first to
Speaker 3: really get a producing credit. She did a lot of
Speaker 3: producing things on her show, but also produced the second
Speaker 3: Cheetah Girls. So I love that Disney gives that opportunity
Speaker 3: to their actors.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Milo Manheim, who is also phenomenal, plays her
Speaker 1: best friend, Ben Plunkett. Dcom fans know him as Zombi
Speaker 1: Z and the Zombies trilogy, which I keep hearing about,
Speaker 1: and Daniel Fisher and Ryder Strong are fighting over which
Speaker 1: one of them gets to come on our show to
Speaker 1: talk about zombies. He is only the nineteenth actor to
Speaker 1: have starred in four or more Disney Channel original movies.
Speaker 1: Some of the others on the list, as you just said,
Speaker 1: Raven Simone, Dove, Cameron, Kimberly, J Brown, and Kirsten Storms,
Speaker 1: just to name a few. He also finished in second
Speaker 1: place on Dancy with the Stars in twenty eighteen, and
Speaker 1: I have heard from a number of people that everyone
Speaker 1: should have won.
Speaker 2: He should have won.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't know anything about that, though, Serena, would you?
Speaker 3: I mean being being paired with Whitney on that show
Speaker 3: Whinny Carson. She's just incredible. I heard he was amazing.
Speaker 3: I didn't watch that season, but I think I'm gonna
Speaker 3: now go.
Speaker 2: Have to check it out, so stream it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna have to go check him out on
Speaker 3: it because he was so good in this movie.
Speaker 1: And his mother is actress Cameron Manhut, which is kind
Speaker 1: of cool. Wendy McClendon Covey is Alyssa Yang. That's Mandy's mom.
Speaker 1: She broke out on one of my favorite ever television
Speaker 1: shows of all time, Comedy Central's Reno nine one one.
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen it.
Speaker 2: Could watch her arm creepy. This woman is amazing, amazing.
Speaker 1: So funny, but probably best known for her time on
Speaker 1: The Goldbergs as Beverly Goldberg, which got nominated for two Critics'
Speaker 1: Choice Awards. She also had a starring role in the
Speaker 1: massive movie Bridesmaids and was very funny that. She is
Speaker 1: just one of those people who was just flat out funny. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And in the Dabney Coleman chair of this film, we
Speaker 1: have the pioneering comedian Margaret cho as ms Chen, the
Speaker 1: school counselor. She is a legendary stand up comedian who
Speaker 1: came out as gay before that was something easy to
Speaker 1: do in Hollywood. She had her own sitcom, All American Girl,
Speaker 1: which shot next to another small sitcom called Boy Meets World.
Speaker 1: We used to hang out with them all the time
Speaker 1: on ABC Knights and ninety four. I was dominated for
Speaker 1: an Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy for her portrayal
Speaker 1: of Kim Jong Eel on thirty Rock. She is also
Speaker 1: a huge fan of my favorite musician of all time,
Speaker 1: Bob Mould, and I saw her singing Bob Mould classics
Speaker 1: at Bob Mould's birthday at the Disney Concert Hall. Nobody
Speaker 1: cares about that, but I do.
Speaker 2: But it was awesome. She looked amazing and she's so
Speaker 2: good again.
Speaker 1: Super funny. They're just funny, legitimately funny people in well
Speaker 1: written roles. They all of them were just relaxed and easy.
Speaker 1: And this is a fun easy watch. Some of the
Speaker 1: movies I'm not gonna say which ones, even if they're
Speaker 1: short plus bucket, are not the easiest watch. This one
Speaker 1: was great and I could have watched all over the place. Yes,
Speaker 1: the movie runs ninety eight minutes, which is eight minutes
Speaker 1: above our target and was directed by Anya Adams, who's
Speaker 1: been behind the camera on TV shows like Yellowjackets and
Speaker 1: Fresh off the Boat. And it was written by Anthony Lombardo,
Speaker 1: who was a writer's assistant on Modern Family and had
Speaker 1: a story by credit there before moving on to a
Speaker 1: writing gig on American Housewife. It was filmed, Sit down, everybody.
Speaker 1: I'm amazed to have to say this in Canada, where
Speaker 1: mostly if they don't shoot in Utah, it is in Canada.
Speaker 1: And the producers of the movie include some very very
Speaker 1: familiar names like Julie Bowen, the multi time Emmy winner
Speaker 1: for her role as Claire Dumfy on Modern Family. She's
Speaker 1: an executive producer along with super producers Jake Kasden and
Speaker 1: Melvin Marr. As I mentioned earlier, Peyton Elizabeth Lee was
Speaker 1: also a co producer. It was top to bottom, a list, everything,
Speaker 1: just everything.
Speaker 3: And it brought out all the big guns for this guy.
Speaker 1: They did, and you can tell it just watches like
Speaker 1: a movie that exactly what you said, old school rom
Speaker 1: com that you would have gone to the theater to
Speaker 1: watch Molly Ringwall, to watch any of these kinds. This
Speaker 1: was that vibe which is so different from all the
Speaker 1: other dcoms that we've watched, not saying better or worse,
Speaker 1: but way different. Right, speaking of that, let's talk about
Speaker 1: how edgy this was. I mean, again, it was only
Speaker 1: a year ago, but totally okay.
Speaker 3: Let me pull out my Sabrina seas because you're jumping well, no,
Speaker 3: I mean, I just want to.
Speaker 2: Go through because we're good.
Speaker 3: We've got to talk about all of them, and there's
Speaker 3: just right from the start, this is when I went, wait,
Speaker 3: is this a dcom? Yeah, she says two minutes into
Speaker 3: the movie, dumb. Yes, I rewound it dumb. I'm thinking,
Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out what I'm hearing that's not dumb,
Speaker 3: that it's something else, and I'm going to no, yeah,
Speaker 3: I rewounded, And I asked, Jordan, do you hear what
Speaker 3: she says? She's saying, dumb, Sabrina, what's wrong? I'm like,
Speaker 3: this is a movie, Jordan, what do you mean?
Speaker 1: What's wrong?
Speaker 2: This is that? That's not it? So I put on
Speaker 2: the captions edit in fact is dumbe?
Speaker 1: It is flatbrocast that now that is one of the
Speaker 1: things that was edited off of the channel but but
Speaker 1: on Disney Plus. But still I thought the same thing.
Speaker 1: I heard dumb, and I was like, wait, what.
Speaker 3: Oh what was I wait a minute, what And then
Speaker 3: it gets worse, it gets.
Speaker 2: It does worse.
Speaker 1: So okay, first of all, this was, as we said
Speaker 1: in the beginning, Disney's first foray in a TV fourteen,
Speaker 1: which is focusing on teens as opposed to tweens or younger,
Speaker 1: and you know, they talk about at one point the
Speaker 1: thing that amazed me, so dumb is one thing. But
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, by the end of Boy Meets World,
Speaker 1: we were allowed to say dumb. We couldn't at the
Speaker 1: beginning we said dumb. I think at one point, okay,
Speaker 1: there were certain things that we kind of were allowed
Speaker 1: to say. So it was like, all right, that's I
Speaker 1: kind of get that. When it got into then sitting
Speaker 1: in the grocery store or he says, oh, you've hooked
Speaker 1: up with a girl I'm talking about in your p
Speaker 1: inter v.
Speaker 2: I was going, wait a minute, what's happening right now?
Speaker 2: This is when I started researching.
Speaker 3: This is when I jumped on my phone and started
Speaker 3: looking up.
Speaker 2: There's just no way. It just shocked me.
Speaker 3: I really, you know, again, if it was a movie
Speaker 3: that I was planning on watching, absolutely but I'm thinking
Speaker 3: of what our normal Disney Channel audiences, and so I'm
Speaker 3: assuming that had to have gotten bleeped out right on
Speaker 3: the channel.
Speaker 2: There's just no way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that I think was one that was taken out
Speaker 1: of the channel as well.
Speaker 2: But it was so.
Speaker 1: Yes, perfect work. It was absolutely jarring to be like,
Speaker 1: what what what just happened? They had got high school parties.
Speaker 2: With talking about alcohol and drinking and solo cops.
Speaker 1: Thankfully at least they have great This movie had the
Speaker 1: best LGBTQ. Yes, it seamlessly was part of the story.
Speaker 1: It was just representation, perfectly represented. It was not it
Speaker 1: was just life. It was normal life the way that
Speaker 1: it should be. Yeah, and it was awesome. The way
Speaker 1: they did it was seemed.
Speaker 2: I loved it as well, but they were saying friggin'
Speaker 2: sucks hell skid mark.
Speaker 1: One of the guys no nuts, and again they know.
Speaker 1: The way they describe it is that he couldn't eat
Speaker 1: nuts in a in a chocolate bar, but it comes
Speaker 1: off as no.
Speaker 3: Very much, Yes, bend no nuts, plunk it. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 3: whoa it was?
Speaker 1: And then they start doing things which Disney Channel normally
Speaker 1: doesn't do, which is talking about major products, like they
Speaker 1: go to Macaroni grill, They're going to Olive Garden. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was just everything about this movie did not seem
Speaker 1: Disney Channel esque.
Speaker 3: There is also not usually a song that is a
Speaker 3: recognizable top forties hit.
Speaker 2: There were many of those.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of throwbacks of eighties music as well,
Speaker 3: but there were actual top forty hits in this in
Speaker 3: this movie, which is as we know, they usually create
Speaker 3: their own music to go along with the movies or
Speaker 3: it's not real, real big you know, music that.
Speaker 2: They'd have to actually, yeah, pay for, do you right?
Speaker 2: But the big budget totally they did.
Speaker 1: And that's a perfect This is a perfect place to
Speaker 1: talk about how the prom theme, which was the eighties,
Speaker 1: was an on running theme from the music, from the
Speaker 1: throwbacks to the movies. Now, that was one of the
Speaker 1: things that was interesting to me because I didn't did
Speaker 1: you have any trouble again, I'm very far removed from
Speaker 1: high school. I'm about to have my ninety seventh high
Speaker 1: school reunion or whatever the hell it is. But it's
Speaker 1: one of those things where did do you think high
Speaker 1: schoolers nowadays would get all of the eighties references? Because
Speaker 1: I obviously got them all, but even some of them
Speaker 1: were slightly obscure.
Speaker 3: No, I think they would more so get nineties stuff
Speaker 3: right now because it's so big everywhere. They've asked me
Speaker 3: who Janet Jackson was before, and oh yeah, gasp, it was.
Speaker 3: It was shocking and awful. Barely really know Britney spears.
Speaker 3: It was barely really know Britney Spears, you know when
Speaker 3: I then the only reason why they know groups like
Speaker 3: Death Leopard and Nirvana is because they're sold on T shirts.
Speaker 2: At right to you know what topic from twenty one?
Speaker 3: They're sold on T shirts. They don't really know the band,
Speaker 3: nor do they know any of the music. It's just
Speaker 3: it's more so I would say nineties is what they
Speaker 3: might know a little bit.
Speaker 2: More about it. Okay.
Speaker 1: I'd also like you to help you in my stots
Speaker 1: Forever forty seven it just sell sweatpants per so, I mean,
Speaker 1: so good?
Speaker 2: Is it the best? Do you think if you went
Speaker 2: up to.
Speaker 1: The girls on your your dance team, would they know
Speaker 1: what Say Anything Is or Ghostbusters or Revenge of the Nerves.
Speaker 2: They would know, they would know.
Speaker 3: The remakes, They would know the remakes. They would know
Speaker 3: the remake Ghostbusters. They would know what has been redone,
Speaker 3: but they wouldn't know the original ones, no way. And
Speaker 3: if I tried to explain it, they'd be they'd give
Speaker 3: me glass eyes really fast.
Speaker 1: Of course, which, by the way, say anything. Some of
Speaker 1: these movies are amazing.
Speaker 2: That's where my super goop. I remember, that's right, I
Speaker 2: gotta get my cape.
Speaker 1: Of course, we're going to get your cape. They also
Speaker 1: are going to sell capes at Forever forty seven. By
Speaker 1: the way, cape, it's just now. It's now, it's just
Speaker 1: capes and sweatpans customizable.
Speaker 2: You mentioned the music.
Speaker 1: Yea, So people don't really understand myself included, until really
Speaker 1: I had started having conversations with producer Jensen, who knows
Speaker 1: all about this stuff. The music not only being super
Speaker 1: important in a movie can be diculously expensive. Yes, and
Speaker 1: just what you said, they, I mean we had Billie Eilish,
Speaker 1: Bob Seeger, David Bowie, Whitney Houston stuff from Dirty Dancing.
Speaker 1: It was like they but there's an imagined dragon song
Speaker 1: that they're they're singing in the cars they're driving. Ye
Speaker 1: it was one popular hit. After the next tens of
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars.
Speaker 3: Didn't feel like they were just lightly in the background. No,
Speaker 3: the Madden Dragon song they're singing, it's a whole scene,
Speaker 3: a whole scene where that establishes their best friendship and
Speaker 3: how they get themselves out of you know, it's a
Speaker 3: big scene for me, the build up of their they're
Speaker 3: really close.
Speaker 2: Friendship and that it's just platonic.
Speaker 3: It is literally just the best friend It's the star
Speaker 3: front of the scene that I mean.
Speaker 2: The me is the song.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you'll see scenes like that in big budget movies.
Speaker 1: I think of Tom Cruise driving down in Jerry Maguire
Speaker 1: singing free Fall, and it's like that level of you
Speaker 1: need money to do this right. So the fact that
Speaker 1: this in a d com is being done is one
Speaker 1: very impressive. And I thought the music was great. Did
Speaker 1: you like the music or I did?
Speaker 3: I loved it. I loved the eighties throwbacks. I loved
Speaker 3: the song choices that are now relevant right now.
Speaker 2: I loved all of it. It was so good. I
Speaker 2: thought they did it all.
Speaker 3: All of them felt really like perfectly placed as well.
Speaker 3: You know, it wasn't a overload of just eighty songs.
Speaker 2: It was a mix. It was great.
Speaker 1: Agreed, one hundred percent. Now we do have to talk
Speaker 1: about one thing, because if we are going to get
Speaker 1: specific about I don't have many gripes with this movie.
Speaker 1: I would go so far as say I almost have none.
Speaker 1: But do you think prom packed was the right title?
Speaker 2: Because it all I am.
Speaker 3: So glad you brought this up because I really got
Speaker 3: a packed I thought about that so many times throughout
Speaker 3: the movies. You know when it starts to get when
Speaker 3: they start to kind of both slide off of this
Speaker 3: quote unquote pack. Yeah, it really wasn't a big deal
Speaker 3: when it happened. It was you know, although I love
Speaker 3: the way she we have to talk quickly about how
Speaker 3: she did it with the catchup on the paper thing,
Speaker 3: so funny, but I also love that it was.
Speaker 2: Her proposal was basically, I have it.
Speaker 3: Written down as great, I'll go, but there will be
Speaker 3: actually nothing to do with prom about this night. I
Speaker 3: will not sit and have dinner. I will not do this,
Speaker 3: I will do this dance. I'm not dancing. I'm not
Speaker 3: doing this. I do not feel like having fun either.
Speaker 3: I may or may not even go to the actual problem.
Speaker 3: But would you like to go with me?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: It's like okay, all right?
Speaker 2: That was my one little girl.
Speaker 3: It wasn't really a packed It wasn't no matter what
Speaker 3: you know, we're going That.
Speaker 2: Was like the B story.
Speaker 1: The A story was really her trying to get into
Speaker 1: the basketball player's life and how she has really misjudged
Speaker 1: this guy. She's judged, you know, very surfa, very much
Speaker 1: on the surface. This quote unquote Jock, which he's like,
Speaker 1: we don't we like athlete, and so she thought it
Speaker 1: was going to be one type of thing that to me,
Speaker 1: was the story totally. So it seemed like the prom
Speaker 1: pact was was a very small portion of it. It was, Yeah,
Speaker 1: So that was my only My only question was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that this was named.
Speaker 2: Properly, right.
Speaker 3: I thought about it a lot because it really was.
Speaker 3: It referenced until things started going downhill. Yeah, it was
Speaker 3: never talked again about that they were going to prom together.
Speaker 2: He buys.
Speaker 3: I loved how he bought his only ticket. That felt
Speaker 3: weird to ticket.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then just stated in line and she's like,
Speaker 1: there's people waiting behind you. Yeah, I get it, but.
Speaker 2: Can't you buy it? I'll pay for it, can I venmo?
Speaker 1: You?
Speaker 3: I mean, Ben, can you really just get me my ticket?
Speaker 3: Or I'll get both of them for us doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1: What would you if we don't like prompacked? What would
Speaker 1: you call it?
Speaker 3: Then? Man?
Speaker 2: I waitlisted? Yes I would. I would think it would
Speaker 2: be more wait listed something like that could have worked.
Speaker 3: That's what kind of popped in my head more. But
Speaker 3: as a matter of fact, to me, when she was
Speaker 3: at the fundraiser with him, that felt a lot more
Speaker 3: fancy and like the press and the actual getting read.
Speaker 2: She literally comes downstairs and like can I borrow the car? Okay,
Speaker 2: and it's like I'm going to.
Speaker 4: Prom okay, But right that seemed like her prom could
Speaker 4: have ben her prom and they did the whole kind
Speaker 4: of karate kid misunderstanding relationship happening thing totally okay.
Speaker 2: I liked waitlisted though Waitlist it could work. I also
Speaker 2: love the idea of letter of wrack. You know, such
Speaker 2: a big thing that she's actually looking to get.
Speaker 1: That's a huge part of it. You know, what are
Speaker 1: what are they called when you go to Harvard? Other
Speaker 1: than really smart? What they're the Harvard?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: What what is their mascot? Maybe they're something there too?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. Does Harvard have a mask?
Speaker 1: I must I've never heard of their going to be
Speaker 1: something that we've never heard of. It's gonna be ran
Speaker 1: as we like the Harvard Duckys or something like that.
Speaker 1: It's like, what, how has nobody.
Speaker 2: Ever heard of Harvard pigeons? Exactly?
Speaker 1: I think it's just gonna be the Harvard smart people. Oh,
Speaker 1: the pilgrim apparently is their mask. That's that is not
Speaker 1: working now, that doesn't work at all. So this movie
Speaker 1: kicks off with a prom pep rally where we meet
Speaker 1: the best friends, establishing Mandy as your typical counterculture loner
Speaker 1: and Ben as the more optimistic nerd pal. You know,
Speaker 1: we've seen the tropes before, but they're great. Yes, he
Speaker 1: has a crush on the beautiful cheerleader that barely knows
Speaker 1: he exists, LaToya Reynolds. I also love how every time
Speaker 1: they say her name in the movie, they say LaToya Reynolds.
Speaker 1: It's never a toy, it's LaToya Reynolds.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 2: I have a few friends that I have to say
Speaker 2: their first and last name. It's just the thing.
Speaker 1: She's like, You've got to stop saying the end? When
Speaker 1: is this literary? Are you gonna stop?
Speaker 2: The prom theme is the eighties.
Speaker 1: We see our first prom posal, which becomes a big thing,
Speaker 1: which is the Ghostbusters homage. But the bigger issue is
Speaker 1: the schoolwork focus. Mandy has still not heard back from
Speaker 1: her dream school, Harvard. It sounds like it's the only
Speaker 1: place she's applied. It's all that matters in her life,
Speaker 1: and we get to kind of see that this is
Speaker 1: her focus. She has her life completely planned out at
Speaker 1: this point. This is the next step. I just need
Speaker 1: to get into Harvard and then everything is smooth sailing
Speaker 1: from there because I know I have to bubbah bubba.
Speaker 1: But she's got it all.
Speaker 2: Laid out, which is so relevant.
Speaker 3: It is so hard to get into college, let alone
Speaker 3: a school like that.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 3: I've recently had a few of my girls very very small, aren't.
Speaker 3: They're so into one school. They put all of their
Speaker 3: efforts and you know, it's great when it happens, and
Speaker 3: it's devastating when it doesn't.
Speaker 2: So it's hard. It's hard to kind of counsel and
Speaker 2: help somebody go through this.
Speaker 1: So the prom theme is the Eighties, which has been
Speaker 1: very nicely established, and we get to see our first promposal,
Speaker 1: which is this big, elaborate Ghostbusters homage.
Speaker 3: Homage.
Speaker 1: I like homage, but homage the great part is that
Speaker 1: we hear at this point, like we talked about, she
Speaker 1: has not heard back from Harvard yet. Right, the life
Speaker 1: is on hold as she's trying to figure it out.
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, we're establishing their relationship, their friendship.
Speaker 1: We see it is just a friendship and that they're
Speaker 1: figuring out what's going on. He's obviously very in love
Speaker 1: with I was gonna say, LaToya, but I can't LaToya Reynolds. Yes,
Speaker 1: and this might be the perfect time since we've just
Speaker 1: talked about the giant Ghostbusters happening. Yes, what's your favorite
Speaker 1: eighties movie?
Speaker 2: Ghostbusters is actually one of them?
Speaker 1: Okay, great movie.
Speaker 2: Yes, I love Ghostbusters.
Speaker 3: It was truly one of the ones I remember in
Speaker 3: the eighties watching the most because it was fun.
Speaker 2: It was funny, It was not any you know, it
Speaker 2: was scary, but not crazy scary.
Speaker 3: You know. It was a perfect for my age to
Speaker 3: watch in the eighties. That was the perfect movie for me.
Speaker 1: By the way, the correct answer to what's the best
Speaker 1: eighties movie will always be Rad Just so.
Speaker 2: You know, Rad, I figured it was going to be
Speaker 2: that one for you.
Speaker 1: Mandy and Ben agree to go to the problem together
Speaker 1: only as besties, even though Mandy could frankly care less,
Speaker 1: which is kind of a nice development, but unfortunately it's
Speaker 1: followed up with some very bad news. Mandy is wait
Speaker 1: listed at Harvard, so she needs a miracle here, and
Speaker 1: her guidance counselor, who again is played very just hysterically
Speaker 1: by Marco Chow, kind of says to her she needs
Speaker 1: a really good letter of recommendation. And it turns out
Speaker 1: that the most popular kid in school, who's the star
Speaker 1: basketball player, his father is a senator who is a
Speaker 1: Harvard alum. So the idea is made that hey what
Speaker 1: if she you know, they hear through the grapevine that Graham,
Speaker 1: who's the cool guy in school, is failing one of
Speaker 1: his ap classes, a class she took last year. So
Speaker 1: she comes up the idea, well, hey what if I
Speaker 1: tutor him in his class, get to know him, become
Speaker 1: friends with him, and then I can hit up his
Speaker 1: dad for a recommendation.
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: He's supposed to be a basketball star, by the way,
Speaker 1: Graham lancing, and it doesn't look like the actor is
Speaker 1: particularly good at playing basketball.
Speaker 2: We call this the writer strong syndrome.
Speaker 1: So if you saw any of Ryder's movies when he
Speaker 1: was a kid and had to play basketball, same kind
Speaker 1: of thing. And he's the first one to say I
Speaker 1: cannot play basketball, but.
Speaker 3: Yet they always want me to exactly some reason they
Speaker 3: always want me to.
Speaker 1: He just called at sports ball. He's like, they always
Speaker 1: cast me as the sports ball guy, and I never
Speaker 1: know why they do that. So that seems a little
Speaker 1: bit like it's happening here. So this is again they
Speaker 1: hatch the plan. She's going to weasel her way into
Speaker 1: Graham's life as his tutor. And she thinks he's this
Speaker 1: shallow dumb again she says, Jock, he corrects her, And
Speaker 1: so this is the plans in action she's going to
Speaker 1: get started. The problem is when she tries to weasel
Speaker 1: her way into his life, all of a sudden, she
Speaker 1: finds out that Graham is not who she thought he
Speaker 1: was going to Right. He's a nice guy and tons
Speaker 1: of depth to him. He helps kids, teaches kids how
Speaker 1: to play basketball, and all the kids play better than
Speaker 1: he does.
Speaker 3: He's very open about his issues with his dad and
Speaker 3: how much of us struggle there is at home between
Speaker 3: the two of them and their dynamic. He actually goes
Speaker 3: far enough to call it daddy issues, which I was
Speaker 3: really shocked to hear. I don't think I've ever heard
Speaker 3: a male say daddy issues.
Speaker 2: So I thought that was cool. You know, nobody wants
Speaker 2: to hear about my daddy issues. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They wrote him as a character with a ton of depths. Yes,
Speaker 1: who is you know? At times he plays the role
Speaker 1: of the cool guy in school, but he doesn't necessarily
Speaker 1: like it and is not that guy. And they really
Speaker 1: set it up to where you can tell he's starting
Speaker 1: to believe that maybe he's met somebody in her that
Speaker 1: he sees him for who he really is and he
Speaker 1: can open up to and all this kind of stuff,
Speaker 1: And it's.
Speaker 3: Very He's a very sweet character, yes, and I love
Speaker 3: that he also is in tune to knowing that people
Speaker 3: use him for something, whether it's popularity or whatever. You know,
Speaker 3: he from the beginning calls, well, what's the catch? What?
Speaker 2: Why are you?
Speaker 3: I've never known you before, You've never seem to care
Speaker 3: about me, you know, what's the catch? And she gets
Speaker 3: a little put off guard because there's definitely one in
Speaker 3: her head. Yeah, but he you know, and that's right.
Speaker 3: It's in the library scene, and it's right in where
Speaker 3: the freshman girls are coming in and they've got some
Speaker 3: kind of game.
Speaker 1: Takes pictures of him and yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 3: Again he goes in and out of playing it up
Speaker 3: like he's okay with it. But you can tell very
Speaker 3: quickly there's more to this guy than just the basketball star. Yeah,
Speaker 3: letterman jacket homie guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And it's very very well written.
Speaker 1: The problem is, as she is starting to spend more
Speaker 1: time with him, she's starting to fall for him, and
Speaker 1: of course Mandy is now starting to ignore her friendship
Speaker 1: with her best friend Ben. And you know it's when
Speaker 1: there's a trade off between the two, Oh, like is
Speaker 1: his birthday dinner? I'm sorry, I can't. She's never lying
Speaker 1: to him, she's telling him like, I can't go. I've
Speaker 1: got it back. But she's still picking Graham over Ben
Speaker 1: often enough to where he's starting to really notice, like, hey,
Speaker 1: I know you're doing this and this is important to you,
Speaker 1: but you know, we're supposed to be my friend.
Speaker 2: And they're starting to get a little, uh, go back
Speaker 2: and forth at each.
Speaker 3: Other, a little little tension there. There's a little you know,
Speaker 3: hurt feelings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but this actually leaves Ben to his own devices
Speaker 1: a little bit, which allows him, through a strange, random
Speaker 1: series of events, to kind of start dating LaToya Reynolds.
Speaker 1: So the strange thing, the thing that I love the
Speaker 1: way that it was written is that the less time
Speaker 1: they're spending with each other, the more opportunity they're both
Speaker 1: having to come out of their shells with other people.
Speaker 1: I love it, which is kind of great. So he's
Speaker 1: with LaToya Reynolds and she's with Graham Lancing, and they're
Speaker 1: both with the two most popular people in school.
Speaker 2: But it works. They're starting to really get to know
Speaker 2: him and everything like that.
Speaker 3: And I liked LaToya Reynolds's whole character too. I love
Speaker 3: when he takes up to get the ticket and she's
Speaker 3: looking at him saying, I know who you are?
Speaker 2: Do you not know who I am? We've known each
Speaker 2: other and been in class together for school. I know
Speaker 2: who you are. Do you not know my name? You
Speaker 2: know that that? She was just very sweet. She wasn't rude,
Speaker 2: She's just really sweet. Great character. Loved her too, agreed,
Speaker 2: So she falls for him.
Speaker 1: They're going to go to the prom thing and start
Speaker 1: dating LaToya the coolest cheerleader, but it throws a wrench
Speaker 1: into all the promp plans because it also forces Mandy
Speaker 1: to She now has the opportunity to get the recommendation
Speaker 1: letter from the Senator Mmm, and she turns it down
Speaker 1: because she started doing fall for Graham, and Graham has
Speaker 1: started to fall for her, at least she thinks so yeah,
Speaker 1: But then she overhears a story again. It's Johnny a
Speaker 1: kissing Ali at the country club and karate kid and
Speaker 1: Daniel LaRusso oversees it, but he doesn't know what he's
Speaker 1: actually seeing and he jumps to conclusions this same thing happens.
Speaker 3: But in her, in all fairness for her, she overhears it,
Speaker 3: but then is it's doubled down.
Speaker 1: Because he comes here, comes over it.
Speaker 3: Brother asks him what the name of the girl was,
Speaker 3: and she he tells her, So it's for sure that
Speaker 3: this girl was over at the house. I was in
Speaker 3: on the whole thing. I knew what was happening. I
Speaker 3: knew what it was getting into me too, but I
Speaker 3: was still crushed for her. I've fallen for this character.
Speaker 3: Mandy's so hard. I think she's so sweet, She's got
Speaker 3: a good head on her shoulders, and she finally likes someone,
Speaker 3: She finally likes something more than what her dream.
Speaker 2: Of Harvard is, and or at least as much. And
Speaker 2: my heart broke for her.
Speaker 3: In this scene, Jesus feeling so stupid. She feels just
Speaker 3: completely played yep, and even though she was playing him
Speaker 3: and all this stuff, and I just, oh, man, will I.
Speaker 2: Felt so bad. I started daring a little bit. When
Speaker 2: she's coming out of the fundraiser event.
Speaker 1: She's, yeah, it was tough, but so she then she
Speaker 1: calls Ben, who is finally on a date with LaToya, having.
Speaker 3: A great time, finally getting comfortable because Ben was such
Speaker 3: an awkward guy.
Speaker 1: He was which made him endearing. And then he drops
Speaker 1: everything he's doing. He leaves the date, ruining everything with LaToya, right,
Speaker 1: and he goes off to pick her up. She's in
Speaker 1: the car. I can't believe this is happening. Oh but
Speaker 1: that's okay. We're going to prom together. They're back with
Speaker 1: the PROMP pack, the two of them. It's gonna be fine.
Speaker 3: And now we're over an hour into the movie. Right,
Speaker 3: this is the second time this prom pack even came up.
Speaker 2: I feel like it was like, oh, yeah, this is
Speaker 2: PROMP pack, that's right, which.
Speaker 1: Is true, which is why we're changing it to letter
Speaker 1: of red light listed or waitlisted, which is a better letter,
Speaker 1: just a better title. And so then the problem comes
Speaker 1: as you would expect. Later in school, Mandy finds out
Speaker 1: that it was all a misunderstanding. He was actually learning
Speaker 1: a dance routine so he could give her her promposal,
Speaker 1: which it was great, but so good. The second this,
Speaker 1: I mean, in all fairness, the second they set up
Speaker 1: that she used to do this dance.
Speaker 2: You knew this, you knew it was.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, this is this was certainly coming. But
Speaker 1: it was great. The way that they did it, they
Speaker 1: set it all up.
Speaker 2: It's fine, the risky business and her one direction song.
Speaker 1: I mean awesome, awesome, good, And then she said we
Speaker 1: don't know what she says, but it cuts to the
Speaker 1: parking lot. Ben has turned down LaToya for the prom
Speaker 1: because he made a prom packed with Mandy. Mandy comes
Speaker 1: out and is like, oh, it was a misunderstanding. I'm
Speaker 1: actually going with Graham, and he's like, whoa wow, Wait
Speaker 1: a second, rude, I can't just be here for you
Speaker 1: whenever somebody hurts your feeling. But he goes off on
Speaker 1: her and somebody, of course in this day and age,
Speaker 1: is videoing it, and Graham finds out what he really
Speaker 1: intentions were because he says something along the lines of like,
Speaker 1: you were only doing this to get a letter from
Speaker 1: the senator. So everything is collapsing here. I feel like
Speaker 1: the whole thing could have been avoided if they just
Speaker 1: decided to go as a group. But that's not.
Speaker 2: How you go to prom and could have gone together.
Speaker 2: I see what you're saying. The limos hold more than two.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, but we still had a good thirty minutes
Speaker 3: left of the movie, so we couldn't do it that way.
Speaker 1: Well, it's true, I know, but you know, I feel
Speaker 1: like they could have just told their cool dates that
Speaker 1: they were supposed to go with their friends. But of
Speaker 1: course they love each other, so they'd let them go
Speaker 1: with the people that they had a crush. There's so
Speaker 1: many ways out of this, but you're in high school.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna left that slide. Yeah, But Mandy sticks with it.
Speaker 1: She fights through the depression and decides to make it
Speaker 1: up to her bestie by showering with attention and love
Speaker 1: of all the prom details she messed up. She gives
Speaker 1: him a big promposal. He, of course can't stay mad
Speaker 1: at her. They decide to go together, and they go
Speaker 1: to the eighties prom where they are actually dressed up
Speaker 1: like the eighties kids.
Speaker 2: No one else is. It's so good.
Speaker 3: It's such a good thing because truly the kids their
Speaker 3: their assembly, they're homecoming or prom, you know, big event
Speaker 3: and rally before it will be themed. The docor will
Speaker 3: be themed, but the kids do not. That's more. Okay,
Speaker 3: we're back at More.
Speaker 2: That's nice.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's it's not the prom. You still go in
Speaker 3: your nice out, you know, your nice long dress. You
Speaker 3: don't do the thing.
Speaker 2: Morp and prompt. It's too confusing. It was just easier
Speaker 2: not to have many friends.
Speaker 3: As their friends pointed out, you've never been to one,
Speaker 3: nor do you really ever pay attention on Instagram, so.
Speaker 2: You had no idea that no one else would be addressed.
Speaker 2: This is this is true.
Speaker 1: So they go though, and uh they make up. She
Speaker 1: tags along with Ben and LaToya to the prom. They're
Speaker 1: all now kind of together as a group, which they
Speaker 1: could have done in the first place. And then LaToya
Speaker 1: and Ben are named the prom King and Queen because well,
Speaker 1: Mandy actually rigged it with the guidance counselor, which is
Speaker 1: kind of cool.
Speaker 3: That's what I could going how how how? How when
Speaker 3: are they gonna tell me how this happened?
Speaker 1: And then it seemed to go a little departing from Disney,
Speaker 1: and I really liked it.
Speaker 2: And here's why.
Speaker 1: So Graham and Mandy never really make up and have
Speaker 1: a moment of kissing like we're back together, which I
Speaker 1: really love. I also love that Mandy and Ben don't
Speaker 1: get together, which is another trope the best friends realize
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be together. This movie played against every
Speaker 1: kind of Disney stereotype in that way, and I really
Speaker 1: liked that it was very real to me where it
Speaker 1: was like we didn't make up, it wasn't perfect, and
Speaker 1: Ben and I didn't realize we were supposed to be
Speaker 1: together the entire time, like it was really it was great.
Speaker 1: So I really really liked that.
Speaker 2: Ben did get his girl.
Speaker 3: He did get a girlfriend, and I thought that was amazing.
Speaker 1: LaToya Reynolds, which he wanted. But it turns out that
Speaker 1: the real ending, because you could Disney could have ended
Speaker 1: it there and she gets back with Graham at but
Speaker 1: the real ending is she ends up getting into Harvard
Speaker 1: because her guidance counsulor sent the letter of recommendation while
Speaker 1: she was at school, so why not just do that
Speaker 1: in the first place. But then she seems Graham at
Speaker 1: a coffee shop. It's a year later he's or however
Speaker 1: long later months later, she's at Harvard. She's now a
Speaker 1: Harvard pilgrim, which is apparently what they are.
Speaker 2: He is.
Speaker 1: Somebody says Graham, she's at a coffee shop. She turns
Speaker 1: around and boom, there he is. And it's like he's like,
Speaker 1: I'm taking a gap year. I'm trying to figure out
Speaker 1: And before he can say anything, she just jumps in
Speaker 1: lants on.
Speaker 2: It's so fast.
Speaker 3: It happens like like a karate chop, just like what.
Speaker 1: It seemed fast. It seemed fast, fast, and it seemed
Speaker 1: a bit tagged tagged on at the at the end,
Speaker 1: if it just felt rushed like yeah, like it was,
Speaker 1: it's felt like a studio note like no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: We have since we played against type right, which we
Speaker 1: could had them get together at the dance or the
Speaker 1: salutatorian speech, which again I did not know was a thing.
Speaker 2: I thought only.
Speaker 1: Valedictorians got to speak. Yes, I didn't know second place
Speaker 1: got a chance.
Speaker 2: To say no, I feel second place does not get it.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 1: I like to say that my half of the class
Speaker 1: made the top half possible. So yes, thank you very much.
Speaker 2: So what was your class on Boyme's World? Was that
Speaker 2: you're graduating?
Speaker 1: No in my class when I went to high school
Speaker 1: when I actually went to high because I went to
Speaker 1: high school the whole time except for six months, and
Speaker 1: I didn't.
Speaker 2: I was not I was not studious.
Speaker 1: Oh got it, okay, Yeah, so the salutatorian speech was
Speaker 1: was kind of strange. But they get together again, feels
Speaker 1: a bit like a studio note, they kiss, everybody's happy
Speaker 1: at the end, and that's that's your film. And I
Speaker 1: thought it was I thought it was good. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: it just it didn't feel like a dcom, which part
Speaker 1: of me really likes.
Speaker 2: But it's such a departure from the regular.
Speaker 3: I know, it's so enjoyable to watch. It was funny,
Speaker 3: it was super cute. I loved all the relationships that built,
Speaker 3: and like you said so many times already, these characters
Speaker 3: were given a lot of depth. They were able to
Speaker 3: bob and weave through these kinds of obstacles that were
Speaker 3: put in front of them. And it was a great movie.
Speaker 3: I really did I love the music. There was just
Speaker 3: so much to like. The only weirdness was, like you said,
Speaker 3: the title and the fact that it was promp packed.
Speaker 3: It really wasn't talked about until the very end. It
Speaker 3: was like the very beginning and then the very end.
Speaker 3: The middle, it didn't ever really go back to prom pack.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: One of the other things about this movie, so the
Speaker 1: recent strikes that we had in Hollywood, a lot of
Speaker 1: it has to do with the use of AI in films,
Speaker 1: and because we have the best producers that are doing
Speaker 1: research for us, it turns out that the part of
Speaker 1: it is they would use actors' faces for minimal fees,
Speaker 1: especially in the background with background actors, and this movie
Speaker 1: actually did use this technology before the new rules were set.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't look great. It's very very bad, really
Speaker 1: weird looking at it looks like sims people huh, and
Speaker 1: it's bizarre. People were very mad about it, rightfully so.
Speaker 1: But you can see it in the opening pep Rolly
Speaker 1: seeing the most And yeah, it's a big reason why
Speaker 1: we didn't have new movies or TV shows filming for
Speaker 1: basically a year is because of stuff like that. It
Speaker 1: looks very, very bad, and thank thankfully we did something
Speaker 1: about it. But if you go back and look at it,
Speaker 1: I mean it's really noticeable.
Speaker 3: It is really noticeable. I had to go back and
Speaker 3: it was like.
Speaker 2: Oh whoa, oh we this is that good? Thank goodness.
Speaker 2: This did not continue to happen a lot. Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: it's bad. I will it goes to show too.
Speaker 3: Background actors can really make or break a lot of
Speaker 3: scenes too. Oh you know, you have some great background
Speaker 3: actors that know what they're doing, they know how to look.
Speaker 3: Background acting really does add so much to big scenes
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 1: Huge amazing, it's hugely important. I'm glad that we've protected
Speaker 1: some of their right because it was bet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do real reviews.
Speaker 1: Okay, what do you got, Sabrina? You want to do
Speaker 1: the five stars?
Speaker 2: I'm going to do the five star.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 3: This is from Serena p. I thought this movie was
Speaker 3: a breath of fresh air. I'm so happy to see
Speaker 3: a strong female role in Disney. It's very inspiring for teens.
Speaker 3: Also in parentheses, be realistic. I know you're worried about
Speaker 3: the parties and the things it showed, but when I
Speaker 3: was a senior in high school, I did all the
Speaker 3: same things and Okay, so.
Speaker 1: That's interesting, and that brings us right to our one
Speaker 1: star review, which is from Vanessa eight ninety two, which
Speaker 1: is ironic because the first.
Speaker 2: Eight hundred and ninety one Vanessa's loved this movie. But
Speaker 2: Vanessa eight ninety two not a fan. Not a fan.
Speaker 1: She said, how is this categorized as a Disney Channel movie?
Speaker 1: It is not appropriate for kids to watch due to
Speaker 1: underage drinking, partying, and adult language, as well as specific
Speaker 1: narrative that is being pushed and issues. Blah blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. Why can't we just enjoy mo movie without
Speaker 1: getting a narrative pushed at every step? The plot was
Speaker 1: nothing special, terrible teenage acting, per usual for Disney Channel.
Speaker 2: Don't waste your time with this movie.
Speaker 1: I disagree with everything everything that Vanessa eight ninety two
Speaker 1: said there. I am going to be total. I agree
Speaker 1: that it doesn't feel like a dcom.
Speaker 3: Absolutely yeah. I do think it is aged up, and
Speaker 3: so that is true. I would have loved to be
Speaker 3: able to see what was actually aired on the Disney
Speaker 3: Channel because I would wonder why, you know, change The
Speaker 3: Red Solo cups for me were really big. But at
Speaker 3: the same time, what she when she says terrible teenage acting,
Speaker 3: per usual for Disney Channel. I'm sorry, Vanessa, that's completely incorrect.
Speaker 1: That's the first ninety one is Vanessa, You are incorrect,
Speaker 1: Vanessa eight ninety two.
Speaker 2: That's my ben.
Speaker 1: We're going to do a new feature today called Blake
Speaker 1: or Fake Blaker Fake. When this movie was released, all
Speaker 1: the stars did the usual press tours, of course, and
Speaker 1: we found a feature on Blake Draper, who was the
Speaker 1: cool sort of basketball playing popular kid Graham Lancing. Okay,
Speaker 1: the article gives us ten as the nine completely useless
Speaker 1: teen beat magazine like facts about the dream Boat. So
Speaker 1: we're going to be giving five possibilities and then we
Speaker 1: have to decide if it's Blake or it's fake. And
Speaker 1: once again we do not know what's real and what's not.
Speaker 1: So I say we buzz through these. Number one, Blake
Speaker 1: is a hufflepuff? Do you think that's Blake or fake?
Speaker 3: Blake or fake a hufflepuff? I don't even know what
Speaker 3: a hufflepuff is, so I'm gonna.
Speaker 2: Make it fake.
Speaker 1: Know what a hufflepuff is? Do you really know what
Speaker 1: a huffuff? No, a hufflepuff is one of the houses
Speaker 1: in Harry Potter.
Speaker 2: Oh, but you know that I'm not a Harry Potter fan.
Speaker 2: But you aver heard of Hufflepuff, Lytherin, Gryffindor.
Speaker 3: None of you the drink I've had to drink at
Speaker 3: at Universal Studios butter beer.
Speaker 1: Yes, I've had hurting my soul.
Speaker 2: I know, be better. I will. Maybe I'm not let this.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say it's Blake. I think
Speaker 1: he is a Hufflepuff, Am I right?
Speaker 2: Jensen? That is Blake. That's our boy, Blake. Yes, thank you, Yes,
Speaker 2: thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Yes, somebody by producers are putting my souls and shambles
Speaker 1: slither in forever. Thank you very much. I'm a Gryffindor.
Speaker 2: But hey, you guys, I will better.
Speaker 1: No, we're just gonna get you sorted into a different
Speaker 1: school because Hogwarts isn't for you. Number two. On his
Speaker 1: seventh birthday, he was gifted a drum kit and has
Speaker 1: been playing ever since.
Speaker 2: I'm on his seventh birthday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna say fake because giving a seven year
Speaker 3: old drum kit, that's when.
Speaker 1: You want to learn how to start playing instruments. Is
Speaker 1: when you're a kid a drum kit. I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say fake. Yeah, not, that's blake. Oh wow, bl okay.
Speaker 1: Number three, he has a scar above his hip from
Speaker 1: an ATV accident. One of these has to be fake.
Speaker 1: I'm just playing the I'm just playing the odds right now.
Speaker 2: I'm going to go with fake. I guess well, no,
Speaker 2: I want to go true. I'm going to go true.
Speaker 1: I'm going to say fake, just because we have to
Speaker 1: have a fake one in here at some point.
Speaker 2: No, that's fake. He has a perfect hip, okay, a perfect.
Speaker 1: Well. He sure certainly didn't hurt it playing quidditch, did he?
Speaker 2: Sabrina nothing, no idea, she has no idea. We're talking. Well,
Speaker 2: I do know. That's the game. That looks like they're
Speaker 2: playing like on a broomstick. Right, okay, oh wow, everything
Speaker 2: hurts me. Number four.
Speaker 1: As a young boy, he dreamt this is great.
Speaker 2: Oh man, I hope this is real.
Speaker 1: Number four, As a boy, he dreamt of owning a
Speaker 1: Chipotle location.
Speaker 2: A Chipotle location.
Speaker 1: I'm going to say it's blake because I want it
Speaker 1: to be real, like Hogwarts.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he loved it so much.
Speaker 3: That was fake.
Speaker 2: He dreamt a comic book artist. Oh, a comic book artist.
Speaker 1: Okay, oh Man, comic book art is one and gives
Speaker 1: you way less diarrhea than Chipotle number five before making
Speaker 1: it in acting, he was a karate instructor at his
Speaker 1: family business.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to.
Speaker 1: Say fake because Daniel Fishle and my karate instructor is
Speaker 1: a family business, and I'm thinking producer Jensen through that
Speaker 1: one in here, So I'm going.
Speaker 2: To say fake. I'm saying fake too. Oh no, that's
Speaker 2: Blake baby.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, he was a karate instructor.
Speaker 2: Oh well, I got most of them wrong, and so
Speaker 2: did you. I got all of them wrong. I didn't get.
Speaker 1: Anywhere distracted by you never eving heard of huffle back.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm sorry. I was totally lying. Throws were you?
Speaker 2: Do you know what hufflepuff is?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: You weren't.
Speaker 1: You had no idea. Oh that's such a raven cloth
Speaker 1: thing to do.
Speaker 2: I'm kidding, I don't know what you know.
Speaker 3: What's so funny though, one of the women that I
Speaker 3: work with with my song team, she is a giant
Speaker 3: fan and she hates how much I walked through that
Speaker 3: whole land at Universal Studios not knowing anything.
Speaker 2: Well, to read the books, the land is fake.
Speaker 1: Well, I know what I mean.
Speaker 3: She was excited to show me everything, and it was like,
Speaker 3: oh okay, she was just giving me all this knowledge.
Speaker 1: That was Well, we're going to do an entire section
Speaker 1: on watching all of the Harry Potter films. Okay, so
Speaker 1: let's do Sabrina Seas.
Speaker 2: Yes, all right.
Speaker 3: So we've definitely touched quite a bit on the amount
Speaker 3: of things that just were a little every time it
Speaker 3: happened within the movie, a new thing that you just
Speaker 3: wouldn't expect to see on the channel.
Speaker 2: I had to write it down. I mean it's j yes,
Speaker 2: it really is.
Speaker 3: And it's to the point, where as I said before,
Speaker 3: standards and practice for those that don't know, they are
Speaker 3: the ones that are on set all the time. They
Speaker 3: clear every outfit, every you know, if it's a new
Speaker 3: scene that's being built, things like that. And one of
Speaker 3: the things that really caught my eye because that's just
Speaker 3: not happened. It's happened a tiny bit in some of
Speaker 3: the movies. I think Stuck in the Suburbs, we saw
Speaker 3: a little bit of some skin showing from the bey
Speaker 3: the pant line to the she had a full blown
Speaker 3: mid drift and then her dress so the wardrobe was
Speaker 3: something that I saw as well. Her dress that she
Speaker 3: wears to the fundraiser is a two top, little tight,
Speaker 3: very in my opinion when it comes to Disney Channel,
Speaker 3: a lot more skimpier than we've ever seen, you know, okay, and.
Speaker 2: You got to really see her curves. No, never noticed
Speaker 2: the clothes.
Speaker 3: So those those were things that I just I mean,
Speaker 3: when I saw the middrift, that's when I went, you
Speaker 3: got because again remember my experience, I you know, my
Speaker 3: experience on the channel.
Speaker 2: I had to wear layers.
Speaker 3: I was always hot, always because I had so many
Speaker 3: layers of tops under tank tops or a or a
Speaker 3: long sleeve under a short sleeve. Then I've have my
Speaker 3: my leggings on under a I mean you've saw one
Speaker 3: or two of the outfits I constantly had layers on.
Speaker 1: You had like like neckerchiffery on and all this, and
Speaker 1: you did you get a bunch of the going.
Speaker 3: And so to see somebody in a midriff, I really
Speaker 3: just was throwing my hands in the AIRCA what I
Speaker 3: know if Disney.
Speaker 2: Channel is gone.
Speaker 3: The other thing that I thought for sure you were
Speaker 3: gonna say, just because it kind of made me think
Speaker 3: of my dates with the president's daughter not done on
Speaker 3: the quality, but the house of his that she goes
Speaker 3: and meets the family or she goes for a session,
Speaker 3: then ends up saying for dinner.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And then they actually kind of called it out a
Speaker 3: little bit, definitely resembled that like White House politicians.
Speaker 2: Yeah, politician with the.
Speaker 3: Flags that were out in the front and it's got
Speaker 3: the pillars and all of that. That one cracked me up.
Speaker 3: And then just right after that, she says his previous
Speaker 3: girlfriend couldn't believe that he didn't live in the White House,
Speaker 3: which was a very funny comment that his mom made.
Speaker 3: And then the last one, I just thought this was
Speaker 3: really funny, the two am curfew.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, because the dad.
Speaker 3: I had to write it down just because I can't
Speaker 3: imagine any dad in the world for the first time,
Speaker 3: especially her first date, is actually gonna say bring her
Speaker 3: home at two am?
Speaker 2: What that? The mom then calls, and I was like,
Speaker 2: what do you think. You don't know, she's never been
Speaker 2: out before. What I would think it would be the opposite.
Speaker 3: She needs to be home by nine, you know, versus like,
Speaker 3: go ahead, you know what.
Speaker 2: She doesn't even need to come home. She wants to
Speaker 2: do sleep over your house, totally friend.
Speaker 1: It was I agree with you one hundred percent, though,
Speaker 1: it was when those things popped up. And the other
Speaker 1: thing we have to keep in mind is you and
Speaker 1: I are watching one Disney Channel movie after yeah, so
Speaker 1: to again throw in one from last year that seemed
Speaker 1: so off brand, was weird.
Speaker 2: I mean, they say, what the hell in it? I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 3: Anytime did you ever say you said? You guys got
Speaker 3: to say dumb.
Speaker 2: I think towards the end, what the hells? Well?
Speaker 1: I remember one. I remember one specific episode and it
Speaker 1: was definitely cut. Matt Lawrence. Eric is starting to sneeze
Speaker 1: the future like you do, and Jack calls him noster
Speaker 1: dumbaut uh huh, And I think they then cut it,
Speaker 1: but I think later dummbos.
Speaker 2: I could be wrong.
Speaker 1: It was sucks sucks. We weren't allowed to say sucks earlier,
Speaker 1: but we were allowed to say sucks later. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, those things just kind of kept going, even towards
Speaker 3: the end. She says, you know, I told you to
Speaker 3: get a letter of recommendation from him not getting his
Speaker 3: son's pants.
Speaker 1: Yes, what that?
Speaker 2: Those little lines were very Those.
Speaker 3: Little lines just kept jabbing at me. They were either
Speaker 3: sexual or you know a little bit more on the
Speaker 3: cursing level quote unquote type thing. So those just kept
Speaker 3: they kept hitting me. But again, had I gone to
Speaker 3: the movie theater, I would have thought nothing of it. Honestly,
Speaker 3: I loved the movie so much.
Speaker 1: Just because it says in Giant Neon Disney Channel originally.
Speaker 3: Yes, that that sets that standard, so you know it.
Speaker 3: There was so much of this movie that I just loved.
Speaker 3: I loved her dress, even though they were it was
Speaker 3: silly for them to actually dress up to the prom.
Speaker 2: That dress was so cute.
Speaker 1: The way she did.
Speaker 3: Her little pomposal for him was adorable. They looked great together.
Speaker 3: I loved, love, love this movie.
Speaker 2: It was I did too. It was so fun.
Speaker 1: Well, we got to see how much we loved it
Speaker 1: because now we got to rate it, So we got
Speaker 1: to do one out of ten. Obviously we've talked about
Speaker 1: one is bad, ten is good. How about for options,
Speaker 1: how about one out of ten bad? Movie titles? Power
Speaker 1: abusing guidance, counselors, AI, background actors peas versus.
Speaker 2: V's oh my gosh, I can't, I can't doesn't even
Speaker 2: talk about the movie.
Speaker 1: How about inappropriate words like the jarring Disney Channel moments.
Speaker 2: Let's do that.
Speaker 1: Let's want to do that one, all right, So I think.
Speaker 2: I've went first last time, right, Okay, I think that's
Speaker 2: I think you're right, all right.
Speaker 1: So I really.
Speaker 2: Liked this movie. It's tough.
Speaker 1: If I'm going to judge it by itself as just
Speaker 1: a movie, I can go as high as a nine
Speaker 1: or nine point five, right, But as a Disney Channel
Speaker 1: original movie, I'm having trouble only because I'm watching so
Speaker 1: many Disney Channel original movies and it's such a different
Speaker 1: vibe ye than all of the other Disney Channel original movies.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like night and day. It's so different.
Speaker 1: It's still I can only judge it as a movie,
Speaker 1: and as a movie, I am going to give it
Speaker 1: a nine. Nic.
Speaker 2: It's really good. It's really really good.
Speaker 1: The acting especially is top notch. It's next level. And
Speaker 1: so I'm going to give this movie a nine.
Speaker 2: I thought it was. I thought it was very very good. Same.
Speaker 3: I'm right there with you. I am also going to
Speaker 3: do a nine. Okay, I'm jarring Disney moments.
Speaker 2: My jarring Disney moments.
Speaker 3: I would honestly while I was watching it, going I
Speaker 3: think this might be a nine point five or ten
Speaker 3: for me.
Speaker 2: But then when I.
Speaker 3: Started reviewing the all the things, you know, the Sabrina
Speaker 3: sees it's that part to me, and I can understand
Speaker 3: it being on the channel, even knowing that a lot
Speaker 3: of that stuff was taken off, right, Right, you do
Speaker 3: have a certain standard. I now have a little girl.
Speaker 3: She's not watching all these movies with me, but this
Speaker 3: would not be a movie I would want.
Speaker 2: Her to watch. Sure, not for a while. While right,
Speaker 2: she can.
Speaker 3: Watch Xenon on repeat all day, you know, and I sure,
Speaker 3: And typically that's what's so great. I know, when I
Speaker 3: was younger, my parents loved me watching the Disney Channel
Speaker 3: because they didn't have to.
Speaker 2: They didn't have to preview anything.
Speaker 1: That's the thing. You always knew what you were gonna get.
Speaker 1: You could sit somebody down in front of a Disney
Speaker 1: Channel original movie and you wouldn't have to worry about
Speaker 1: it when it mattened, having to explain anything after it.
Speaker 2: Exactly what's a P and a V? What were they drinking?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: I mean?
Speaker 1: Right, that's different?
Speaker 2: You're right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, So no, I understand that.
Speaker 3: I cannot think of even answering those kinds of things,
Speaker 3: and I'm not ready and she's not gonna see anything
Speaker 3: that I'd ever be questionable.
Speaker 1: That was the thing about being it being a dcom.
Speaker 1: And I get that that children seem to be growing
Speaker 1: up faster.
Speaker 2: I don't have children, I don't know.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, that was the thing is
Speaker 1: it's like a Disney Channel a dcom, A straight up dcom.
Speaker 1: Is I think you can put a kid in front
Speaker 1: of it and not have to worry about explaining everything. Now, again,
Speaker 1: that is not saying that there's anything wrong with this movie.
Speaker 1: Quite the contrary. It's a great.
Speaker 3: Movie, yes, and but also Disney Plus puts it in
Speaker 3: a different genre. Yeah, you know, knowing that it was
Speaker 3: it's on Disney Plus as one way versus what it
Speaker 3: was on Disney Channel as another way is good to know.
Speaker 1: But at that it is branded as a dcom.
Speaker 3: Yes, so we're on the same page for that for sure.
Speaker 3: This I will say I watched literally hours after the
Speaker 3: last time we did our last episode and instantly.
Speaker 2: Wanted to call you and hear everything you had to
Speaker 2: say because it was like the weekend just became too.
Speaker 3: Long because it was just so different. I loved this movie.
Speaker 3: I in my mind this is going to be a
Speaker 3: Disney Plus movie. It just can't be a dcom to me.
Speaker 1: I agree with you, and that's where we will leave it.
Speaker 1: Our next movie is two thousand and six is cow Bells,
Speaker 1: which is spelled b E l l e s. It's
Speaker 1: an Alien aj tale of two wealthy snobs sent to
Speaker 1: work on the family farm. I got two wealthy snobs
Speaker 1: sent to work on a family farm, but the cow
Speaker 1: bells and Ali in aj tail. I don't understand when
Speaker 1: amy that means yet, but I'm sure I will find
Speaker 1: that out as we get there.
Speaker 3: Yes, Ali and Aj actually were on our very first tour.
Speaker 3: They are a sister duo. Okay, one is older Ali.
Speaker 3: I want to say it's older.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I'm gonna have to look back at
Speaker 2: and they sit with they sing. So is this a
Speaker 2: musical cow Bells?
Speaker 1: There could be, Okay.
Speaker 3: Just to set it up a little bit, there could
Speaker 3: be music, because they definitely are both very talented in
Speaker 3: the music world.
Speaker 1: This was also, if memory serves, this was written by
Speaker 1: our friend of the pod Stuke Rieger. Okay, I believe
Speaker 1: he wrote cow Bells.
Speaker 3: Then we have to look forward to some really fun
Speaker 3: stuff because he's awesome.
Speaker 1: I hope there's no p's and v's in this one.
Speaker 1: I don't be okay, all right, I don't think there
Speaker 1: will be there because we're two thousand and six. We're
Speaker 1: not there either way. But thank you everybody for joining us.
Speaker 1: Go watch cow.
Speaker 2: Bells if you want to.
