WEBVTT - Radio Rebel 0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:17.400 I have a question okay that I've been thinking about, 0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:18.959 and I thought about it when I started watching the 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:20.600 film that we're going to be recapping today. 0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:21.880 Okay, because I know you have a. 0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:27.520 Musical background, and so excluding Cheetah Girls, forget Cheetah Girls, 0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:29.600 have you ever been in a band? 0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:31.600 You mean, like a rock band? 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:32.640 Yeah? Like a band? 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:34.480 Like did you and your friends get together and try 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:36.559 to form a group or form a band or a 0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:38.280 garage band or did you ever do any of that 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:38.880 kind of stuff? 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:43.600 I did, Actually, it was so quick. It was really 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:47.440 early on. I want to say it was in the beginning. 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.239 I was a freshman or sophomore in high school. I 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:53.640 was a part of sort of. It was a manager 0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.920 that knew a bunch of dancers that also sang a 0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:00.160 bit okay, and tried to form it. But that was 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.440 really quick and nothing happened. Absolutely nothing happened from it. 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:06.880 So no, growing up, did you, like, did you dream 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:08.360 of being in one? Where? Did you come up with 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.480 a name for your own band? Ever a name? 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.560 No? Yeah, you never got to the naming stage. See, 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.600 I never learned the music. I just instantly jumped to 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:19.360 naming the band I would be in. I never learned 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:22.319 how to sing or play instrument, but naming the band I. 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:22.840 Was good at. 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.040 Okay, do you have a couple of them? Are you 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:25.520 gonna share it? 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:25.759 Oh? 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:27.280 Yeah, well no, the one my friend and I. 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:29.720 So I was going to sing and I don't sing, 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:31.560 And then I was also gonna play bass, and I 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.480 also don't play bass, nor did I own one at 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.319 the time, so it was just all right, you're gonna 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.360 play bass. But we got as far as coming up 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.120 with the name Rude Awakening. 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.880 Ooh, that's a good one. Yeah, I do love that. See, 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:47.040 we never could agree on anything when I played rock 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:51.120 band for a while. I mean, this was a an obsession. 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:53.520 That's the way I'm looking for every night occurrence pretty 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:57.280 much at my place in LA. I have to say, 0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.200 I gotta throw out a name. And I know it 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.560 sounds so dumb to do this, but Robert Kardashian was 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:03.120 in my band. 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.680 That's I think you said that before he. 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:06.280 Was in my band. 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:07.120 It's a great band. 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.000 I just have some friends that we would go over, 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.519 you know, after going out to dinner or whatever while 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:12.959 I was living in LA that would come over and 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.880 I had the whole setup. I had the drums, the bass, 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.400 the main guitar, the mic, the I think at some 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:23.400 point there was a piano playing situation, or I might 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:24.480 be making that up in my head. 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:24.799 I don't know. 0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:27.360 It was a while ago, but it was so fun 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:31.080 and I cannot pass by in an arcade. If that, 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:34.160 like guitar hero or rock band is ever there, I can't. 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:34.520 You're in. 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.960 But it's so frustrating now because I used to be 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.440 on the hard level and I can barely get through 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.120 the easy level now. I mean even on the easiest 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.160 of easy songs, I'm terrible at it. It took a 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.200 lot of work to get good at that game. 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.400 Well, I'd like to just propose that if you do 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:56.400 put the band back together, you call it the cheap Dashians. Thanks, 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.920 Welcome to Magical Rewind, the show that makes you want 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.200 I grab your friends, your PJS, and your popcorn and 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.120 go back to a time when all the houses were smart, 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.960 the waves, tsunamis and the high School's musical. 0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:07.919 I'm WILFORDE and. 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:08.840 I'm Sabrina Bryan. 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:13.560 Oh, strike up the satellites, folks and check your frequencies, 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.520 because we're taking it to the airwaves with twenty twelve's 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.840 Disney Channel movie Radio Rebel, Yes, and possibly the only 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:24.640 one we can recap that includes the word podcast. And 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.880 that's very true, right because everything else is too early. 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:32.000 Based on the debut novel Shrinking Violet by author Daniel Joseph, 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:35.240 is first aired February seventeenth, twenty twelve, to four point 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:38.560 three million viewers, which is an impressive number, especially over 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.040 ten years ago. Now, some of the differences between the 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.000 book and the movie we will recap, like the book 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.080 takes place in Miami and her DJ name was Sweet Tea. 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.280 But as is the case with every Disney film, it's 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.360 either got sports or music, and this one, of course, 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.600 is all about music and radio personalities and all that stuff. So, 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.640 as you can probably guess, Disney Records put out the 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:01.160 pop punk Influence soundtrack with three Debbie Ryan who was 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.880 the star, three DeBie Ryan songs, including a cover of 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.240 We Got the Beat which was great, and another contributor 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:07.080 named Fat Sue. 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.080 It was shot in Vancouver, Canada, beautiful place. 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.440 And it's also worth noting this is different than any 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.640 of the other movies we've covered so far in that 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:18.120 it's produced by a third party company. So this was 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.440 not done in house. This was not a Disney Channel 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:23.720 like made at Disney for Disney. This was made by 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.760 a company called mar Vista and two for the Money Media, 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.560 and then they sold it to Disney to air in 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.880 the United States. So very different than the normal kind 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.280 of Disney machine pumping something out. This movie was made 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.039 and then sold to Disney for Disney Channel. Also, it's 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:40.640 not on Disney Plus, which it was on Disney Plus 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.880 when we were originally starting to outline what we were 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:45.760 going to do and look in and put our list together. 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.440 It was on Disney Plus then, and then because of 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:51.239 all this production stuff, with it being a third party, 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:54.159 it probably had a finite life on the Disney Channel. 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.640 And it is now currently on Peacock and it's on 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.000 Amazon Prime for free. So you can either watch it 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.240 there now or take a look look after you listen 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:01.680 to us. 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:02.279 That's up to you. 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.280 So first normal question we always asked, had you heard 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:06.560 of Radio Rebel before we did this? 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.719 I had not. I had no idea about it. I did. 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.440 I obviously assumed we were going to be doing something 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.080 with the radio station, which I'm so excited. It's always 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.279 been a dream to do radio station be a DJ, 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.840 that would be so incredible, But no, I was excited 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:26.760 to find out what it was about. Obviously, DeBie Ryan, 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:28.679 she's a queen on Disney Channel. 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:30.640 Yeah, yeah, huge on Disney Channel. 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.800 Oh and she's she's actually very comedic, her timing on 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:38.479 her the shows where she's very funny, she's awesome. So 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.960 I was excited, but just had never heard of this one. 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:42.440 Yeah, I had neither. 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:47.159 I went in completely cold, and then instantly I realized 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.400 it was a modern day take on Pump Up the Volume. 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:50.840 Are you familiar with Pump Up the Volume? 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.200 No, pump up the volume, Pump up the Christian Slater 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.680 underground pirate DJ. High school kid. I think it was 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:00.480 hig school, high school, early college. Pretty sure it was 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.279 high school. And it's this same kind of premise, and 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.479 you know it's Christian Slaters. He's got the kind of 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.280 come on everybody, you know, he's got that kind of 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.200 Jack Nicholson vibe about it. And he's the cool guy 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.720 who's who's is overlooked in school. 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.280 It's it's this that's awesome. 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.800 Well, I would argue a better version of this, but 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.440 then again, it's a Christian Slater movie. He was the 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:20.960 biggest one of the biggest stars of the eighties and 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.760 had a ton of money, so it was it was 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:26.560 really really good. But before we make our debut on 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:30.000 Seattle's number one destination for rockx slam FM, uh. 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:31.640 Let's get into the synopsis. 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:36.360 So when high school shy and I'm underlining shy, really 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.479 really shy girl Ryan goes undercover with a pirate radio 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.599 persona that allows her to express her true feelings, things 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.479 get out of hand, putting her prom and true identity 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:47.120 at risk. 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:49.320 Did you like it? 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:51.680 I did? I actually did. 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:52.120 Okay. 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.680 Debbie's just so adorable. It's hard to believe that she 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:59.440 is so shy and and you know, being put into 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.880 this position of not a cool girl because I just 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:06.120 find everything about her so cute and adorable and she's 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.159 the coolest person in the world exactly, and so you know, 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.920 that was a little bit unbelievable. But yeah, I thought 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:13.880 it was. I thought it was really a cute movie. 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:18.320 Cute Okay, Okay, I thought it was. Okay, it wasn't 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.000 my favorite, It wasn't awful. The acting, obviously was very good. 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.560 The acting we've seen is getting kind of better in 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.600 a lot of the movies that were going on. Usually 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.200 I don't have a problem with the acting. The acting 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.200 was fine. I thought some of the characters were way 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.920 over the top. I mean, like way way way over 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:36.120 the top. But how mean can a bully get? I mean, 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.200 is are there really girls in school that are that 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.880 horribly mean as her bully was in this movie? 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:44.600 I think a little much. 0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:49.320 Yes, I mean her outright, like basically calling people peasants 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:54.320 and not the not absolutely not. But I think some 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:57.640 of the things that she did trapping her in a closet, 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.400 I don't know if that would happen, but to get 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:04.080 back at her through a boy, that's so typical. There's 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.760 some stuff, but the extreme things of the things she 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.880 was willing to say outright, she's not whispering them to 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.680 her friends, she's literally saying it to anyone that's in 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:18.440 the room. Are just that that was crazy to me. 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:22.160 I thought they were a lot of the anciliary characters 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:23.520 went very cartoony. 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.720 Yeah, the principle was the one for me that just 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:30.160 I could not stand. I just had such a hard 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.880 time with her. Yeah, what they gave her to do too, 0:08:34.320 --> 0:08:34.880 it was tough. 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.800 Yeah, no, I agree, And again I didn't dislike it. 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.480 It just wasn't. It didn't tonally, it didn't seem to 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:41.240 know what it was to me. 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.520 It wasn't really a comedy with wacky characters, and it 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:48.360 wasn't really like a it was. You could tell the 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.440 time this was released seemed to be kind of around 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:51.160 the mean girls. 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.040 Yes, clueless, kind. 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:54.440 Of like I know, Clueless was way before that, but 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:56.520 it tried to catch that vibe, and I don't think 0:08:56.520 --> 0:09:00.240 it necessarily did. But anyway, the movie stars a Disney 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:04.040 staple and absolutely, as Sabrina said at the beginning, Disney Legend, 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:09.079 Debbie Ryan. She plays the painfully shy Tara Adams aka 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:12.400 Radio Rebel. This was her third d com with Sixteen 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.599 Wishes and The Sweet Life Movie in twenty ten and 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.680 twenty eleven, respectively. She also guest starred on shows like 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:20.760 Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverley Place, and Austin and Ally, 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.400 and starred in Jesse with Peyton List and Cameron Boyce 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.479 for four seasons on the Disney Channel. So again, Absolute 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:30.240 Disney Royalty. And then there's Adam DeMarco. He's Gavin. He's 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:34.400 a member of the G's Not Quite Rude Awakening, who 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:37.360 is Smack dab in the middle of a prom or morp, 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:40.080 we'll get into that love triangle as the radio rebel 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.160 love interest. He's also known most recently as Randall on 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.199 The Order and I'll Be on season two of the 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.560 hit show White Lotus, so has gone on to a 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:51.840 pretty great career. Merritt Patterson plays Stacey, the school's queen 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.160 bee and mean girl who's obsessed with being the prom queen. 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:58.200 And then we have Serena Palmer as Audrey. That's Tara's 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.240 best friend who helps hide her secret idea wh who I 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:02.040 thought was very funny. 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.480 And then Martin Cummins is Rob lynch Adams. 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.320 He's TERA's stepfather who runs Slam FM, and he was 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.760 Mayor Kelly in almost eighty episodes of Riverdale. 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.319 And I liked what they did with his character. 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.960 I did too. I liked their relationship. 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.079 Yes, that that to me was actually one of the 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:21.040 nicer relationships of the film, is watching that kind of 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.640 them learn each other and grow and then she's able 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:24.400 to open up to him. 0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.120 It was I liked that. I liked how they went. 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:29.360 It's one of our first step relationships. Yeah, they've done 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.199 the dad one a bunch of times. We've always had 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.439 a lot to say about this, so I wasn't expecting 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:35.000 it to be great, and then it turned out to 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:38.800 be a really nice transition, different kind of relationship for 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:39.959 us to see. I enjoyed that. 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.240 I agree the easy writing thing would have made it 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.800 where he doesn't care about her. She's successful, so we 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:46.679 want to keep it going. It's all about slam FM 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:48.520 and he was like, you're my stepdaughter. 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.680 First. I liked that question. Yes, there's a lot. 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:53.280 Of other people in this one, with a large majority 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.400 being local Canadian actors, which you will see a lot 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.599 of because of lower budgets and rules productions have to 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.040 follow and shooting U in Canada, you have to do 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.880 a certain percentage of your cast has to be Canadian 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:05.360 actors and that's absolutely the way it should be. 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.680 Well, it's also cheaper not having them come fly. 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:11.040 Stay sure, but it's also like, if you're going to 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:12.720 come shoot a movie in our country, you've got to 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:13.960 use a group of actors. 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:15.360 I think that's I think that's fair. 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:15.880 I do too. 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:20.200 Yeah, this movie runs just eighty five minutes, five below 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.760 the target, a number we continue to flirt with, unlike 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:23.840 something like say. 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:26.880 Fuzzbucket which was nine minutes long. 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:30.640 It was directed by Peter Howitt, who directed the nineteen 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:34.440 eighty eight Gwyneth Paltrow hit Sliding Doors, also the Julian 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:37.440 Moore Pierce Brosnan rom com Laws of Attraction, and the 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.720 Mister Bean movie Johnny English. If you look at this 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:43.920 man's IMDb, it is so strange where it's like you 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.720 go from Sliding Doors and movies with Pierce Brosen into 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:49.400 kind of d cooms and stuff. It is. 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.760 It's a wild ride in this man's career. 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:57.400 It really is. Outside of the original novels writer. The 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:00.280 script was written by Eric Patterson and Jessica Scott, who 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:04.000 wrote Another Cinderella Story and a Cinderella story Once Upon 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:07.760 a Song. So first, I think the way we have 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:11.040 to get into this for some of our younger listeners, okay, 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:16.960 who are joining our show, let's first discuss what radio is. 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:19.520 So radio kids. 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.640 No, I'm kidding, but I think that in twenty twelve 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.640 this might have been the last kind of year could 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:29.439 have pulled off a movie about radio. 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:33.880 Did the girls on your dance team? Does anybody listen 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:35.760 to the radio? Do they have favorite DJs? Is this 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:36.520 a thing anymore? 0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:36.760 No? 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:43.400 I think everything is basically on Pandora or where you know, Spotify, Apple, 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:48.760 iHeart I Heart is probably I would say the biggest. 0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:50.080 The one that's still going the most, that. 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.240 Feels most like a radio station type thing. 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.040 You got Ryan Seacrest thing people like that are still 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:57.040 doing and Mario Lopez and. 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.560 Stuff, but it's still streaming. You still do not have 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:03.040 to turn on a radio. You know specifically you can, 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:05.400 but you don't have to. You can stream it on 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:09.000 your phone, you know, anywhere you are, your computer, anywhere, 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:13.360 which is so different than having to be at either 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:17.280 your car or in your your house to like tune 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:18.360 into a radio station. 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:21.640 It's my wife and I were on a walk this morning. 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:23.520 It took two of us to answer a text on 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:28.120 her watch. Oh that's all I have to say about that. Yeah, 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.360 so that's what You're absolutely right. It was all streaming 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:34.160 and everything. So so then yes, this is probably the 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:36.920 last year that they can pull off a movie about 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.160 an actual DJ or what would be DJ If they 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:40.559 were going to make the monitor equivalent of this, it 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.559 would be something like a podcast, right, or you know, 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:44.360 a podcast that all the kids are listening to, or 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.800 something they can stream. But then a lot of the 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:50.320 instant we oh, it has to go live, you need 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:51.920 to be here at such and such a time, that 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.880 kind of goes away. Yes, a lot of the problems 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.280 and difficulties that she finds during this film wouldn't exist 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.360 because she could prerecord a bunch of stuff and do 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.840 ten podcast episodes and walk away, which you can't do anymore. 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:06.280 It's what we, my friends and I call the public 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:09.319 phone problem, where in the eighties there are so many 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.320 eighties movies just about we can't find a telephone that works. 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.440 Yes, and you said you that those movies now would 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:17.000 be five minutes long at the most. 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:18.880 They would you pick up your cell phone and you 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:20.480 call somebody and you're done. 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.120 Or back when I was younger, it was the pager. 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.120 You could you had a pager so your parents could 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.080 could get a hold of you. They'd send a certain 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:31.920 message to call back them when they needed you, and 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:34.440 you had to find a phone so you were at 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:35.640 your friend's house or whatever. 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:37.800 Yeah, you know, nobody does that anymore, no one. 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.440 There is a whole thing about how kids no longer 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:43.880 have to speak to their friend's parents anymore. Because you 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.560 used to call the house and say hello, mister Johnson 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.480 is john there? Can I please talk to him? Although 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.440 that'd be terrible for his name is actually Johnson, but 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:54.600 it is they don't have to do that anymore. You 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:55.880 just call your friend, you hit your friend up, and 0:14:55.920 --> 0:15:05.400 that's right. So they've they've skipped a step. Yeah, did 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.360 you have trouble buying it? So the premise you have 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.200 to buy into right away with this movie, and they 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.640 really pushed it far and I get it is that 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:18.720 Tara is so shot that she can't speak to most people. 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:22.720 And that's not hyperbole. She literally can't speak. She can 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:25.720 talk to her best friend, right, and the two twins 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.800 that are there, but she can't talk to any of 0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:32.120 the other kids in school, her stepdad. She literally can't 0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:32.720 form words. 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:34.240 Were you okay with that? 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.880 I watched Big Bang Theory, and there's a character in 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:41.480 Big Bang that can't. I think it would need so 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:47.520 much more of a pre story type thing to actually 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.680 believe it, or to see it happen over and over again. 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:53.800 And I think it doesn't happen enough, you know, I 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.400 think it like it needs to be a lot more. 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.000 It needs to be where you can really realize. I 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.520 didn't understand that until a second time I watched it. 0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:02.480 I just thought she was shy, and I thought she 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:06.120 was shy around boys. Okay, that's normal. But the idea 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:10.840 that this character cannot speak who she basically freezes completely 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:12.200 shuts down. 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:14.280 Yeah, I mean, it's a real thing, but it's I 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:15.880 would I agree with you. I would like to have 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.920 seen that set up a little because like thirty to 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:23.200 forty percent of this film is convincing people that she's 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:26.920 so shy, right, that she couldn't be Radio rebel because 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:27.720 she literally can't. 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.920 And you don't get that again, She's just I mean, 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:35.000 it's just hard to believe with just that just was tough. 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:38.880 That was really hard to put in to my brain that, oh, 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:43.160 she's not speaking at all. Yeah, she must she might 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:44.920 have only she might need to get rid of the 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:48.120 twin friends. It really just be one friend, right. 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.800 Yeah, the twin friend with those were that was another 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.760 very cartoony pair of it was I'm a cartoony. 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:56.720 A lot of the extra characters. 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.360 They showed up in the elevator with the outfit, the 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:00.440 red alphant I died. 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:04.560 Oh, they were very funny. I love the dewey Can 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.679 you tell us apart? It's like you are fraternal Twitter, you're. 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:12.000 Not even near again identical, but one extras agree with 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:12.680 you one hundred percent. 0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:14.520 One extra scene of her mom may be saying like, 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.639 why don't you try to talk to somebody today, or 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.280 sitting with a counselor saying I want you to say 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:20.760 one thing to one person today. 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:22.080 That's your whole goal today. 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:26.760 Because then it that contrast between her when she then 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:32.000 becomes Radio Rebel, where she puts she instantly snaps into Okay, 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:33.520 this is my happy place, and when I'm in front 0:17:33.520 --> 0:17:35.760 of the microphone, I'm in my bedroom. This is my 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:37.600 happy place. I can say all the things I couldn't 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:39.280 say today. I would just love to have seen a 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:43.359 little more of that than just I can't talk to 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:43.840 this guy. 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:46.440 To Gavin, you know it did it didn't really. 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:48.840 I don't think it read as well as it There 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:50.760 might have been another way to do it, to make 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.840 it read and be understood just a little bit more. 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:55.159 I agree. 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:58.000 And so of course the show she's doing, which she 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:01.800 does live from her bedroom, takes off in popularity. Everybody 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.280 is starting to love this show. They're trying to figure 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:08.280 out who Radio Rebel is, and she's obviously staying as 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.439 anonymous as she can, and it's easy to overlook her. 0:18:11.560 --> 0:18:14.160 That's they've set that up, because this person who talks 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:17.720 so eloquently on the radio every week, who it seems 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:19.879 to get us, knows exactly what we're going through, speaking 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:22.280 right to us, can't possibly be the girl who can't 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:26.760
