I'm guessing it wasn't. 0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:35.880 See, I wasn't friendless. That was really when I really 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.400 started in the industry. So I was kind of in 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:40.320 and out of a lot of different things. I was 0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:43.080 playing soccer at the time, I was dancing a ton, 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:46.440 I had my industry dance friends. I had friends I'd 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:48.760 made on set for like commercials, So I kind of 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.240 had a lot of different things that I was kind 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:54.480 of popping in and out of. I would say, as always, 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.040 like us, dancers were kind of weird, so I guess 0:00:57.080 --> 0:01:01.200 that would be my like weird click at Okay, Yeah, 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:04.360 what about you?

This was dirt bike era and middle school I sixth, sixth, 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:15.040 and seventh grade and part of eighth grade were pretty good. 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:19.240 Then there was a straight up political power upheaval in 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:22.920 the eighth grade class, Okay, and the kids that were 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.120 cool and at the top were literally taken down. I 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.080 heard one kid literally say at a party, it's time 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:30.839 we take him down, as if it was a coup 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.560 in some country. It was amazing. I don't want to 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:38.760 get into avon middle school falcon politics. Yeah, geez wow. 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:43.240 No, nothing was happening like that in my era. But 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:48.560 I would say middle school was rough for me. I 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.960 And when I look back at pictures, I don't I 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:55.920 remember feeling out, you know, my my body was changing. 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.320 I remember it just being like rough, like it just 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.280 I the boys didn't like me. I wasn't really. I 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.680 was very short, you know, I just as opposed to now, 0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:09.560 as opposed to now where I grew that that you sprouted, 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:14.000 you sprouted, You're huge, awesome. I was short. I was 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.880 like four to nine for ten, What are you now? 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.679 I'm five foot so it was like a three inch difference. 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:25.359 But that was little compared to my friends, my guy 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.240 friends that were doing these huge gross spurts. My all 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.160 my girlfriends were their bodies were developing, and I just 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.160 looked like a little boys like. 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.280 Oh no, you know when you have five feet did 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:37.880 the basketball coach Tretter curuit you. 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:38.960 I'm just trying of course. 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:44.240 Yeah, that's what I figured, perfect gymnastize, right, yes see, 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.520 there you go, there you go. I was just curious 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.400 because we got one today that really is a little 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.440 bit about clicks. Yeah, and some of the stranger clicks 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.120 and some clicks where I go, huh, that's never been 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.320 a click in any school ever in the history of 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.359 the world. But we'll get into that. First. Welcome back 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.079 to Magical rewind, the show that makes you want to 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.800 grab your friends, your pj's and your popcorn and go 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:07.560 back to a time when all the houses are smart, 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.920 the waves, tsunamis and the high school's musical I'm Wilford 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.480 all Brian and oh the movie we're talking about today. 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.240 Let's just say, spit clean the mighty Apple Trophy until 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.800 it shines, because we're hit the lanes, daddy O. Let's 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:24.960 break down. Two thousand sports comedy Ali Kat's Strike, which 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:28.080 was not about Cat's bowling. Part of me says, thank god, 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:29.840 part of me was like, huh, I kind of wish 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.200 it was about Cat's bowling. Disney made this dcom combining 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:37.560 interests you never saw coming. Bowling and swing music, you know, 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:42.960 two things kids In early two thousands, loved. It debuted 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.600 on the channel March eighteenth, two thousand, my mom's birthday, 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.800 and includes a young actress that would become one of 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:51.440 TV's biggest stars just a mere seven years later. It 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.560 was filmed in Toronto. The script also delves into the 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.640 world of vintage clothing, and it's worth noting this was 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.720 four years after the release of the movie Swingers, a 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:03.240 film that helped repopularize big band and swing music and 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.800 brought back the wardrobe and slang from the twenties and 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:09.480 fifties which we'd sorely been lacking in the nineties. While 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.800 many of the decoms we cover find themselves on best 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:15.560 of lists or part of recent splashback intorrelevance, the truth 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:19.239 is there's just not a lot about this movie ally, 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:22.760 catch strike online. It's one of those completely forgotten films 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:26.320 we stumble onto every once in a while and we'll 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.800 get into what we thought about it. I don't you know, 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.320 is it my favorite movie ever? No, but you know 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.360 that shouldn't be forgotten. But anyway, the film did have 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.760 a memorable soundtrack, though, and that included ska music from Fishbone, 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:41.239 pump rock from a band called Squirt Gun, a pop 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.840 song Pedal to the Metal from Hollywood Records, boy band 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:47.320 Youngstown featuring Kel Mitchell of all People, and a plethora 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.599 of swing and big band tunes from pianist and bandleader 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:54.719 Bill Elliott and the Bill Elliott Swing Orchestra, which kids 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:58.320 were just digging at the time. They weren't. I'm guessing 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.000 no one's heard of him except people who were big 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:02.560 Bill Elliott fans, and I'm sure there were a ton 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.640 of them. Did you were you in the swing dance? 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:06.680 You were a dancer, So. 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:11.880 If a new dancing swing dancing loved it. I've loved 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:15.480 the fifties era and vibe my whole life. I loved 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.600 poodle skirts. I loved you know, that was like my 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:23.000 favorite thing to do dressing up when I was younger. Yes, yes, 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.960 that was I loved it. And then when the gap 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.400 commercials started coming out, it was like, Mom, how come 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.880 they're not having any kids in these gap commercials because 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:35.520 I need to be one of these gap dancers sowing dance. 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:37.719 Yeah I can swing it a little bit. I haven't 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.400 done it in so long, but yeah, I. 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.039 Were you ever like have a partner that was like 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.239 throwing you around and doing all that stuff like behind 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:45.240 the back and everything. 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:47.440 There was a guy at the studio that I was 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:50.400 dancing at that him and I went and took a 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.320 couple lessons and kind of would go to some of 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:58.839 the It was it kind of infiltrated the Latin ballroom 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.559 world at time. Bit and his dad had a little 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.680 bit of a something in there, so we would go 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:07.760 to those, but we would be with all older people, 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:12.040 older older people in their their sixties and seventies that 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.520 compared to us as twelve and thirteen year old, so 0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.600 people that were alive. Just him and I and we 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.040 were like, you know, going at it and it was fun. 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.440 It was a good time. But I love swing dancing. 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:25.839 So that's great. I stopped shopping at the Gap because 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:29.800 of those commercials. Now, wow, I'm kidding. It is true 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.560 that Ali Cat Strike has been lost a bit to 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:35.359 the test of time, but it did hold one very 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.640 important record when it comes to its presence on the internet. 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:40.479 Do you have any idea what that might be, Sabrina, 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:42.560 No idea? Okay, you ready for this? 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:43.400 Yes. 0:06:43.600 --> 0:06:48.400 In twenty fourteen, Ali Kat's Strike was announced by Slate 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.719 as the record holder for the longest movie plot summary 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:56.640 on Wikipedia and know there is absolutely no reason for 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:59.040 that whatsoever. Just a fan of the movie decided to 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.680 write a forty two hundred and sixty six words synopsis 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.040 of the film because they apparently had a ton of 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.599 free time on their hands. Now, to put that into perspective, 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:13.400 Saving Private Ryan, The Godfather, and Titanic all had summaries 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:18.000 under seven hundred and fifty words. Wow, Shindler's List, which 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.760 is a two hundred minute movie. There thereabouts one hundred 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.440 and ninety seven minute movie about the Holocaust, was broken 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:27.360 down with just seven hundred and three words. Again, four thousand, 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:31.520 two hundred and sixty six words about Ali Cat Strike. 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:34.720 It's important to give our listeners an update. However, now 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:36.960 ten years later, it appears this has changed and the 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.960 summary was adjusted to better represent the stylings of Wikipedia. 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.239 Some of us choose our legacies, others have it thrust 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.720 upon him. Okay, Sarena, did you know anything about Ali 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:48.160 Cat Strike before we watch this movie? 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.400 I thought that I did, and I do. As the 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:55.280 movie was going on, I feel like there was an 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:58.200 older version with like older care, like there was another 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:01.160 version of Only Nolly movie that I was thinking of 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.880 or something, because I didn't recognize a lot of it 0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:10.680 except for the final bowl of them, okay, And I 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.360 was like, no, this is the movie that I was remembering, 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:16.680 so I won't give away because we're not anywhere near there. 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:19.040 But when that happened, I was like, no, this is 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:20.080 it because I remember. 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:22.560 Okay, all you're gonna have to tell Oh I can't wait. 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.640 Oh man, I can't wait. You want to take a 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:26.800 guess on whether I've heard of this or not? 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:27.480 Yeah? 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:29.040 No, of course not. 0:08:29.240 --> 0:08:32.240 Yeah, I bet you have actually, because you love swing dancing. 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:39.000 Swinging swing dancing.

I actually meant to wear my 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.439 bowling shirt. I forgot to put it on when when 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.120 I got ready, I do. I I love bowling. It's 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:55.079 one of those things that I stopped doing for whatever reason, 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:58.319 don't have time, And then anytime I go bowling one time, 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.040 I'm bowling for the next like a couple weeks. 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.920 Yeah, it's like golf. Yes, yeah. 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.520 Did you ever bowl at Jerry's Pins in La? Of 0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:12.160 course as epic. It's so sad, it's gone right. 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.600 You always told me that I was there you're like, 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.520 oh no, there's no way that you were that lame 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.120 in high school and bubblah. So I had no friends. 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.440 I met one friend who was a year ahead of me. 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.600 I think this was sophomore year. His name is Jeremy Conover. 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.280 Shout out Jeremy, and he and I. He would pick 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:29.600 me up in his caravan and because we could smoke 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.200 cigarettes in his caravan, and we would go bowling every 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.400 single weekend for an entire year. Wow, and we just 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.560 kept trying to break two hundred. We finally both did it. 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:39.319 We were so excited. But that was high school for me. 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:41.120 Was bowling. And then I picked it up again as 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:42.719 an adult and I was getting back into it. And 0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:44.360 then I dropped it for years. And then I went 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:48.160 bowling with Danielle Fischel and producer Jensen carp I even 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:51.120 forget what city we were in. Danielle decided to film 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.520 me for my first bowl, you know, going and I fell, 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:56.880 and she has it. I think she posted it. We'll 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.720 post it again. I wipe out my first ever bowling. 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:01.280 So did you. 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:02.959 Hit your back or your front?

But 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.600 I fall on, fell down, and I looked back at 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.120 her and she's just laughing hysterically while she's filming me. 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.679 Oh, do you have shoes and your ball and your 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:15.120 own ball? 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:16.120 Oh? Absolutely so. 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:18.240 My parents were in a league and I found my 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:21.400 mom's ball and her shoes, and immediately those were minds 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:21.760 from them. 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.160 You gotta do that, so rad, it's so much fun. 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.360 It's so much fun.

I loved first of all, 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:51.080 we haven't gotten there yet, but the cast is unbelievable. 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:55.680 There are so many familiar faces, just a ton of fun. 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.960 And I liked bowling. I really did. I think it 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:02.320 was a fun, differentferent different movie, different than what I 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.400 thought we would ever really probably come across. 0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:08.960 Honestly, I I hoped for more. I did, because this, 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.000 to me is like it's set up the school rivalry, 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:14.720 you get a sport like, to me, this is the 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:17.360 dance off, this is the you know, school against school, 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:19.400 This is the surf off, this is the bike off. 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.840 This is rad Like, oh man, I'm so in. And 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.800 then it was kind of like, oh okay, it's a movie. 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.559 Like it was just I wish they did more with bowling, 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.360 with all of them learning how to bowl, with teaching them, 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.360 but like make it like, you know, you've got to 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:34.360 learn to ride the bike, you've got to learn the dance, 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:36.960 You've got to learn that. So I was hoping for 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:40.040 a little bit more. Again, the cast will get into 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.200 the cast. They're all great, they've all gone on to 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:45.000 do amazing things. To me, I didn't love this movie. 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:46.480 I didn't hate this movie. It was like, okay, I 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:48.599 watched I watched a movie. Yeah, I didn't have to 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:50.640 stop its. I was bored, but I also wasn't riveted 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:51.800 by what I was seeing on the screen. 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:57.000 I definitely had to remind myself this was an earlier Yes, 0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:58.720 and a lot of. 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:03.319 That post Johnny Tsunami and Brink Yes. 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:07.200 Yes, but I feel those were not those were more 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:11.040 with those two kinds of sports. That was different. Those 0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:14.480 are a lot more energy entertaining, and yeah, you know, 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.480 and so I think what they This one seemed more 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.800 like a It wasn't a big Johnny tsunami. It was 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.000 just the one that you know, comes the month after it, 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:26.000 you know what. I feel like they had. They've always 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.880 done these banger ones and then there's filler ones, and 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.760 they off. This one was more of a filler one. 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.199 But I liked it. I liked it nonetheless. 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.720 I did it. I didn't dislike it. It just it's, 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:39.680 you know what, it is, exactly like the Internet two 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.000 weeks from now. I'm not gonna remember anything about this movie. 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:43.640 Got it, okay, you know what I mean. 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.160 It's like I can still wat I can still close 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.720 my eyes and see zombies. I know. It's a bad example. 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.240 I'm not gonna remember Ali Kat Strike anytime. 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:54.280 All Right, We're gonna have to disagree with that one, 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:57.480 I really think. I mean, just the these young actors 0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:59.760 in it, A lot acts are great visuals. I'm just 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:00.839 gonna get rid of it. 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:02.640 And one of them stole the movie, and we'll get 0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:04.920 into that. But anyway, Ali Kat Strike was directed by 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:07.760 Rod Daniel, a TV director whose first job earned him 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:10.720 three Emmy nominations as a director of the classics sitcom 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:12.319 Oh Wait for It, because it's one of the best 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:18.680 sitcoms of all time. W Kops and Snati. 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:18.959 Thank you very much. 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.240 That's well, that's that's Oh my god. Les Nessman is 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:24.920 one of the greatest characters ever. Anyway, he would soon 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:28.240 after have a string of theatrical hits, starring Oh the Ultimate, 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:30.839 Michael J. Fox, of course, The Juggernaut, Teenwolf, one of 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:34.880 the best movies ever, leading to Like Fatherlike Son, Canine, 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:38.040 The super and Beethoven Second. He's kind of a get 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:39.719 for Disney at the time, though in all fairness it 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.120 was later in his career, but still again and the 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.880 movie stars. Here's the amazing caster talking about Kyle Schmid 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:49.400 as Alex Thompson. Schmid was Toronto born, so a bit 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:51.160 of a local hire who was known as the star 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.720 of the Canadian Kids show I was a sixth grade Alien. 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:56.680 He is of course recognizable to our listeners and my 0:13:56.840 --> 0:14:01.760 co host here as Derek in another d The Cheetah Girls, 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:04.800 and would later be seen in movies The Pacifier, History 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.120 of Violence, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and just 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.600 to see her on the TV show and Cis origins. 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.760 Were you and Kyle friends at this point or did 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.920 you hate him for ruining your chances at winning the 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.120 Disney Games and you're never going to speak to him again. 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:21.600 No, Kyle was actually not at the Disney Games, but 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:26.000 I was. I really liked Kyle. He was at a 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:28.120 you know, obviously before even the Cheatah Girls, he had 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.760 done so much and in Toronto he was awesome in 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.160 taking us around. For me, it was my first time 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:37.320 being eighteen on my own, you know, exploring a brand 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:40.960 new city. So he was very cool to hang out with. 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.320 And then as we would come back around to Toronto 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.320 throughout the Cheetah Girls days, we would make sure we 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:52.160 called Kyle and and would hopefully try to meet up 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:55.240 with him when we could catch up. Yeah. Absolutely, And 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:58.520 I mean following his career there after the Cheaterah Girls, 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:03.160 I mean he's still working a ton. It's really cool. Yeah, 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:06.240 he's somebody who you knew on the way up. Just 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:08.200 really do well. 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:11.320 I love this killing it. The movie co stars Robert 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:14.240 Richard as Todd McLamore, an actor best known as Bobby 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.800 Walker on the TV show Cousin Skeeter, but his resume 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.600 is exceptionally long and he's still working a ton. He 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:21.840 was in movies like Coach, Carter, House of Wax, and 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.960 The Comebacks, while he's played big pivotal roles on TV 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:27.040 shows like Meet the Browns, They're Rich and The Ruthless 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:30.800 and UPNS one on one, And I thought he stole 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:35.160 the movie. He is so good, he's so charismatic, and 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:39.600 he lights up the screen. I thought he absolutely stole 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:41.560 this film. All the way around. 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:46.520 When we get into his character had me I like him, 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:47.000 I hate him. 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:48.960 I like that, which was what was so great about 0:15:49.000 --> 0:15:50.760 it because I think that's how you're supposed to be 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.840 where he is, Like I'm trying to I'm the cool guy, 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:55.240 but I got to be with this guy. But I'm 0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.960 also the athlete. But I thought he absolutely stole the movie. Yes, 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:02.320 and then we have a refame very young Kiley Quoco 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:05.560 as Eliza Bowers just two years before we should be 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:08.200 cast as Bridget Hennessy on the TV show Eight Simple Rules, 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:11.080 and seven before she'd become a household name as Penny 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.120 on the sitcom Hall of Famer The Big Bang Theory, 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:17.000 Quoco became one of the most recognizable and highest paid 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:19.440 TV stars of the Oughts, and most recently started and 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.920 produced the cable dramedy The Flight Attendant, and she was 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.600 the voice of Harley Quinn on HBO's cartoon of the 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:26.720 same name. Did you know she was in a dcom? 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:28.000 I didn't know she was in d No. 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.480 When she popped up, I'm go, wait, who, because she 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:36.360 doesn't look exactly like you can tell as she grew her, 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.360 like her face kind of transformed a little bit. Not 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:42.160 saying anything weird, I'm just saying she grew up out 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:45.240 of she matured her baby face into her mature face. 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:49.040 So it looks like her, but until she really get 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:51.800 into the movie, it's not an obvious I went on IMDb, 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:55.320 like Fridaway, I usually for all the producer's stuff, to 0:16:55.560 --> 0:16:57.840 like check out that. I was like, I had to, 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.400 I'm like, who is that? And then I went, oh, 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.840 my gosh, because I love her. Oh love her. 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.520 She is in a very roundabout way, but also in 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:08.640 kind of a very direct way responsible for me having 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.960 my dog Sammy, whoa So my wife follows her on 0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.320 Instagram and she works a lot with Pause for Life, 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.719 and my wife found Pause for Life through her, and 0:17:16.720 --> 0:17:18.639 then we found Sammy and Pause for Life. Thank you 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.440 Kelly for my dog Wow. And then we have Mimmy 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:24.840 Paley plays Delia. She was first seen as Little I 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.600 was gonna say, Little Buffy, It's Little Buffy Summers on 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.840 Buffy the Vampire Slayer and would later appear on X Files, 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:34.399 Malcolm in the Middle, and Entourage and a name I 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.080 am very familiar with for a strange reason. Matt McCoy 0:17:37.119 --> 0:17:40.120 plays mister Kevin Thompson. Matt is a staple in TV 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:42.359 and movies that you've seen for years and years and years, 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:44.280 most notably as the husband in the Hand that Rocks 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:47.399 the Cradle and as Lloyd Brawn on Seinfeld. But to me, 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:50.920 he will always be the first Alan Matthews on Boy 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.920 Meets World. He and I never met because there was 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.119 a different Eric Matthews and a different Alan Matthews when 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:58.000 they shot the pilot. He was the original Dad. He 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:00.920 worked with the original Eric and what the world could 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.560 have been if both those characters never change, you just 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:07.400 never know how the world's going back. So it never 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:09.639 aired that pilot, of course, But he was then replaced 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:12.440 by William Russ, who was my dad when we went 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:14.879 to series, but Matt was also seen on TV shows 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.800 like The Nanny, Grace, Underfire, Silicon Valley, and a few 0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:21.399 late franchise Police Academy movies. He really is a character 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.439 actor that has been around forever. We also get a 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:28.240 small turn from Canadian local Laura Vandervoort as Lauren vander 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:32.600 Volt would later become Kara Zorrel or Carrazrel depends on 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:36.160 which version you like, or Supergirl for c W Smallville, 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:38.440 and Lisa on the sci fi show V but t 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:40.600 You and I, she will always be Chelsea in the 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:42.920 d com Mom's Got a Date with a Vampire? 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:43.440 Right? 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:46.840 And then we have the actors that play Mayor Maclamore 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:50.040 and Kathy Macklamore, the parents of basketball star Todd Maclamore, 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:52.680 who were actually married in real life, that is Tim 0:18:52.720 --> 0:18:58.280 and Daphney Reid. Tim was a WKRP star Awesome, which 0:18:58.400 --> 0:18:59.800 of course makes some sense when you think about the 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:02.760 direc but you might recognize him from Sister Sister or 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:07.400 the original IT TV movie, and Daphne was infamously the 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.800 second Vivian Banks on Fresh Prince of bel Air, which 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:15.679 was a controversial replacement for actress Janet Hubert. It is 0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:19.000 a stacked cast all the way. To me, it really 0:19:19.080 --> 0:19:22.720 is amazing people that went on to do some great, 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:24.760 great things from Ali Cat Strike. 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:26.280 Absolutely yep. 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:35.920 Okay, So the movie we always talk about this. It's 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:38.399 eighty eight minutes long, two minutes from the target. But 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:40.240 as we say, we are on the right side of 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:43.200 history when you're shorter rather than longer. Take of that 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:46.280 what you will. It was written by Gregory K. Pinkus, 0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:49.000 whose first replayed was the movie Little Big League, and 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:51.400 we've already covered his work as the writer of Quints, 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:53.679 a d com that also came out in two thousand. 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:56.080 Pinkus seems to be a fan of meta narration from 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:58.320
