Speaker 1: Sabrina Will Growing up on the West Coast, how often
Speaker 1: did you actually get to the beach?
Speaker 2: That used to be something, especially in high school. I
Speaker 2: we would get out of school and go straight to
Speaker 2: the beach. Oh my god, it's.
Speaker 1: So weird to hear from somebody growing up in the
Speaker 1: East Coast.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean because I also I was on like
Speaker 2: a dance team right on my at my school, so
Speaker 2: I got out earlier than a lot of people. You
Speaker 2: know that during our athletic like period. It was period,
Speaker 2: our sixth period, and we had practice on like Mondays
Speaker 2: and Wednesdays. So on Thursday, Friday, you know, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday,
Speaker 2: that's when we would just like as soon as we
Speaker 2: got out, we would just meet up one person's car,
Speaker 2: all jump in and hop to the beach, go to
Speaker 2: It's kind of like that, but now can't stand it.
Speaker 2: I hate the beach.
Speaker 1: We've talked about thishere.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hot. I for the first time took Monroe
Speaker 2: to the beach by myself with a girlfriend and her
Speaker 2: daughter and her son, and was like, this is a nightmare,
Speaker 2: you know, because Monroe can swim, but like she can't
Speaker 2: really swim very well in like the like I don't.
Speaker 2: I had to be right there, right and the girls
Speaker 2: were just going back and forth, back and forth, back
Speaker 2: and forth, and it was like I'm like, this is
Speaker 2: like the most unenjoyable thing I've ever just because it's
Speaker 2: so scary the beach, the water, the ocean. And then
Speaker 2: Shark Week just happened a couple of weeks ago, Like
Speaker 2: now I'm really freaked out. I like, now it's like
Speaker 2: my annual of like the ocean is not a safe place,
Speaker 2: Like no one should be just chilling in the ocean,
Speaker 2: Like do you.
Speaker 1: Know if Apparently, if a shark comes at you, the
Speaker 1: best way to defend yourself is with strong language. That's
Speaker 1: what I've heard.
Speaker 2: It's like, hey, no, there was one show that was
Speaker 2: like how to Survive a shark attack? And I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: they say, how you survive you don't go in the ocean.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But the other one I heard was which is like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll make sure I do that and think about this
Speaker 1: all the time. Where you go under the water and
Speaker 1: then as the shark comes at you, you're supposed to
Speaker 1: move it, like put your hand on its nose and
Speaker 1: push it away.
Speaker 2: Yes, like push it away are you kidding?
Speaker 1: Sure that as well.
Speaker 2: As you're not supposed to flail around like that like
Speaker 2: vibration of what you do in the water, if you
Speaker 2: start freaking out, attracts them right to you because of
Speaker 2: their like sensors on their bodies. Let me just start floating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Now, everybody knows the proper thing to do
Speaker 1: is to cover yourself in seal blood and thrash in
Speaker 1: the water. Everybody knows that it's like lifting things in
Speaker 1: a quick jerking motion with your lower back. Everybody knows
Speaker 1: it's crazy.
Speaker 2: I used to swim in the pool and I would
Speaker 2: hear the Jaws theme song like in my pool, thinking
Speaker 2: the Jaws was going to come out of the light
Speaker 2: that was under my.
Speaker 1: Well, it's better than the Snels give. Remember the old
Speaker 1: Snls gift from the seventies, the land shark killou. It's
Speaker 1: like knocking on people's apartment doors. You're that shark. No, ma'am,
Speaker 1: I'm a dolphin. Exactly. Well, we're talking about this because
Speaker 1: obviously we're going back to the beach. Anyway. Welcome back
Speaker 1: to Magical Rewind, the show that makes you want to
Speaker 1: grab your friends, your pjs and your popcorn. And go
Speaker 1: back to a time when now the houses were smart,
Speaker 1: the waves tsunamis, and the oceans didn't kill you. I'm
Speaker 1: Wilfred Dell.
Speaker 4: And I'm Sabrina Bryant.
Speaker 1: That we're back at the beach.
Speaker 2: We're back.
Speaker 1: We here at the Magical Rewind never want the heat
Speaker 1: of summer to cool off, and so this week we're
Speaker 1: going back in time and back to God keep saying
Speaker 1: it Wet Side Story with twenty fifteens musicals Equal Team
Speaker 1: Beach two. Yes, we're gonna be saying Wet Side Story
Speaker 1: over and over again because we didn't get enough of
Speaker 1: the clearly porn title the last time we were here.
Speaker 1: So teen Beach two debut on the Disney Channel June
Speaker 1: twenty six, twenty fifteen, kicking off Disney's summer programming block,
Speaker 1: and this marked their first d com sequel in five years. Wow, Sabrina.
Speaker 1: Just like the first teen Beach movie, we're filming in
Speaker 1: a very rare location for Disney, Puerto Rico and East
Speaker 1: Coast adjacent spot with beaches available and the ability to
Speaker 1: film in some pretty luxurious locations, including the beach House
Speaker 1: of the Governor, which is impressive. Puerto Rico also had
Speaker 1: warehouses big enough to replicate the retro surf town, vital
Speaker 1: to the film's main storyline. And surprisingly, it is the
Speaker 1: fourth dcom to film in Puerto Rico, so we know
Speaker 1: teen Beach one and two were there. There's another movie
Speaker 1: we have yet to recap, called The Princess Protection Program.
Speaker 1: But what's the fourth? Do you remember the fourth? We
Speaker 1: reviewed it? Can we come up with another movie that
Speaker 1: filmed in Puerto Rico?
Speaker 2: Ooh? No, oh, wait, have we we've already reviewed it? Did?
Speaker 5: No? That was?
Speaker 1: Why? Was was the one with that?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 1: That was based on the show Even Stevens? Was the
Speaker 1: Even Stephens movie Puerto Rico? Or was that Hawaii?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: I think that might be it. That might have been it?
Speaker 6: Wizards, wizards, you call it magicians. You know what, the magicians,
Speaker 6: the magical people, Wizards, Wizards of Waverley Places.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, there you go. That's the fourth.
Speaker 4: You again, Lisa, thank you.
Speaker 1: You must sit there as we review these movies, knowing
Speaker 1: very little about them and just cringing because she has
Speaker 1: all the knowledge. The core cast from the first movie returned,
Speaker 1: and like some other sequels we've seen, no real new
Speaker 1: actors joined in at all. I mean, it's a sequel.
Speaker 1: They didn't throw in anybody new. It's sort of shocking, right,
Speaker 1: And as a reminder, the sequel was set up in
Speaker 1: a post credit scene of Teen Beach One, where it
Speaker 1: appeared the characters from Wet Side Story still saying it
Speaker 1: the fictitious surf movie inside the movie had transported themselves
Speaker 1: now to the modern times, which was a flip of
Speaker 1: the original screen. And yet that does not play into
Speaker 1: the second movie at all. Really, were you shocked to
Speaker 1: see that? Don't you remember? They like all came out
Speaker 1: of the water. Yes, And then when this movie started,
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, what what.
Speaker 4: Are we rewinding? At some point, like what's going on?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we just forget, But.
Speaker 2: I was wondering if it was I mean, you would
Speaker 2: think by now, because so when we did The Cheetah
Speaker 2: Girls and then and High School Musical, I don't even
Speaker 2: think High School Musical was one of those franchises where
Speaker 2: they I don't know if forced is the right word,
Speaker 2: but like they contractually bound them.
Speaker 1: To do multiple, multiple movies.
Speaker 2: So I would think at this point that if they
Speaker 2: were planning on doing a second one, this would have
Speaker 2: already kind of like been a done thing. But I
Speaker 2: don't know when they started doing that. We only know
Speaker 2: that for sure about Descendants rights.
Speaker 4: I don't think it was for camp Rock either.
Speaker 2: I think it was like, it's another big one high
Speaker 2: school musical.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, zombies.
Speaker 4: We know they were contracted.
Speaker 1: You didn't sign for multiple movies, did you.
Speaker 4: No, they didn't even think are you kidding?
Speaker 2: They had no idea that The Cheetah Girls was gonna
Speaker 2: like blow up and then we're gonna want to do
Speaker 2: another one at that point. I don't think besides Johnny Tsunami,
Speaker 2: they really had very many sequels.
Speaker 1: That's true. Yeah, and we still haven't watched that one
Speaker 1: an but we will.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, like the first movie, this sequel was a very
Speaker 1: big success for the channel. It clocked a premiere audience
Speaker 1: of five point eight million viewers, becoming the most watched
Speaker 1: d com since the debut of Team Beach One in
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen, breaking its own record. Pretty impressive. And since
Speaker 1: it's a musical, you know, we got to talk about
Speaker 1: the soundtrack. It was released just three days before the
Speaker 1: premiere and featured all the music from the movie and
Speaker 1: two songs from outside acts signed to Hollywood Records. The
Speaker 1: first was starting Over from R five, which is not
Speaker 1: Adroid in the Star Wars universe, but a band that
Speaker 1: the star of Teen Beach, Ross Lynch was in with
Speaker 1: his brother. The other was a track called Rescue Me
Speaker 1: by a pre superstardom. I'm gonna mispronounce this name, Sabrana Carpenter.
Speaker 4: Sabrina Carpenter.
Speaker 1: Sabrina Carpenter, that's what it is. From a Little Girl
Speaker 1: Meets World show. She's alright, let's fantasy cast a little here.
Speaker 1: So being a Carpenter would make a pretty good mac,
Speaker 1: don't you think.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: I thought she would have been good too. Yes, and
Speaker 1: her whole.
Speaker 2: Like first album like debut song that she put out
Speaker 2: had a very teen Beachy look like music video. It
Speaker 2: looks like straight out of Teen Beach for sure. It's
Speaker 2: and she's adorable in it.
Speaker 1: Okay, I like her as a person. She's a total sweetheart.
Speaker 1: I'm never I'm not sure I've ever heard her music.
Speaker 1: Maybe if in this song, if it was in this movie,
Speaker 1: I must have heard it.
Speaker 2: If I ever come out with an album, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: like come to your house and force you to listen
Speaker 2: to it. You will not listen.
Speaker 1: Put it on yacht rock or that's the nineties, and
Speaker 1: I'll know exactly what it is. But other than that,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have nothing. If it wasn't if it wasn't
Speaker 1: Pink Floyd, it wasn't in my house. The soundtrack hit
Speaker 1: number one on Billboard's Top Soundtracks and peaked at number
Speaker 1: ten on the US Billboard two hundred and even more
Speaker 1: accolades for teen Beach two. It got three Teen Choice
Speaker 1: nominations Best Song from a Movie or TV Show, Choice
Speaker 1: Summer TV Male Star for Ross Lynch, and Choice Summer
Speaker 1: TV Female Star for Maya Mitchell. Okay, so after the
Speaker 1: Team Beach one movie, knowing we had a little sequel
Speaker 1: easter egg at the end, were you excited to see
Speaker 1: this movie?
Speaker 2: I was.
Speaker 4: I loved the first one.
Speaker 2: I loved the music in it, I loved the choreography
Speaker 2: I remember loving. I was excited because I remember how
Speaker 2: visual it was like with the surfboards and the you know,
Speaker 2: they would always make really awesome visual pictures as they
Speaker 2: were doing their performances. So I was looking forward to it.
Speaker 2: I love Ross Lynch too, He's absolutely awesome, and he's,
Speaker 2: in my opinion, like such a star, like he's just
Speaker 2: he's so uber talented that I was really excited.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was too. Actually, we both really liked the
Speaker 1: first Team Beach movie. Yeah. The thing that I liked
Speaker 1: about it is it was kind of making fun of
Speaker 1: the musical where she's like singing, doesn't know why she's singing,
Speaker 1: and how do I know? The dance summer it was great. Yes,
Speaker 1: it did not take itself seriously. It was it's it
Speaker 1: knew what it was every step of the way.
Speaker 2: It leaned into the GZ aspect.
Speaker 4: Music.
Speaker 1: A ton of problems. Obviously, there's some story stuff that
Speaker 1: makes no sense. We're going to get in all that,
Speaker 1: some things where it's like, what the hell is that?
Speaker 2: So many times like but it was.
Speaker 1: It was confusing and weird. But the performances were great.
Speaker 1: The music's catchy. It was fun to watch. It was
Speaker 1: it was what it was so well, join us then,
Speaker 1: as we're on our way to save the beach and
Speaker 1: eat some big mamas. So let's hang ten on the synopsis,
Speaker 1: Brady and Mack reunite after their summer adventure, only to
Speaker 1: discover the characters from God, I can't say it anymore.
Speaker 1: Wet Side Story have now mysteriously washed up in their
Speaker 1: modern day reality. Director Jeff Hornaday returns from part two.
Speaker 1: He directed the original and has a heavy background in dance.
Speaker 1: He was a choreographer for Flash Dance For God's Sakes
Speaker 1: and a ton of other classics like Streets of Fire. Ugh,
Speaker 1: amazing movie. If you haven't seen it, go see it
Speaker 1: right now. It is absolutely just the coolest thing ever.
Speaker 1: And oh man, did I fall in love with her? Anyway? Sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm off in a little tangent a chorus line. Great movie.
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson's Captain EO and Dick Tracy, And as far
Speaker 1: as musicians he's worked with, how about Madonna, Stevie Nicks,
Speaker 1: Backstreet Boys and Jennifer Lopez no O Biggie. Then, Much
Speaker 1: like Kenny Ortega, he transitioned into directing with his big
Speaker 1: break coming in twenty eleven with the John Travolta film Shout.
Speaker 1: His only other film credit outside of these two Team
Speaker 1: Beach d coms is another dcom starring Sarah Hiland called
Speaker 1: geek Charming. So put it on the list, Tara, And
Speaker 1: when it comes to the cast, Disney had their own
Speaker 1: ironclad contracts to make sure everyone returns, So I guess
Speaker 1: they did, so let's kick it off with Ross Lynch.
Speaker 1: He's back as Brady. He's known to our audience as
Speaker 1: Austin from the show Austin and Aally and the Disney Channel,
Speaker 1: but he also played Harvey Kinkel on The Chilling Adventures
Speaker 1: of Sabrina and on the other end of the spectrum.
Speaker 1: He played Jeffrey Dahmer in the movie My Friend Dahmer,
Speaker 1: so very different roles. He's currently won half of the
Speaker 1: band The Driver Era alongside his brother Rocky, who were
Speaker 1: the former members of Our a band that, like I said,
Speaker 1: you can hear in this movie. And Maya Mitchell returns
Speaker 1: as Mackenzie or mack. Maya played Calli on the TV
Speaker 1: show The Fosters, then revisited that role in the spinoff
Speaker 1: show Good Trouble. She was also recently seen in the
Speaker 1: horror movie based on a video game Until Dawn. Grace
Speaker 1: Gillian plays the female lead of the movie. Within the movie,
Speaker 1: Layla Grace made her film debut in twenty eleven's Fright
Speaker 1: Night remake and appeared in ten episodes of Vampire Diaries
Speaker 1: and an episode of Austin and Alley. She also starred
Speaker 1: in a movie called Murder at the Murder Mystery Party,
Speaker 1: which I think the title could have been workshoped a bit.
Speaker 1: And then we've got Garrett Clayton. He's again the lovable
Speaker 1: male lead Tanner from Wet Side Story who just stole
Speaker 1: this movie in my opinion, Oh my god, it was
Speaker 1: so funny.
Speaker 2: But he had me belly laughingly.
Speaker 1: Me too many times, Me too. Garrett is best known
Speaker 1: as Link from Harrispray Live, as well as from episodes
Speaker 1: of Shake It Up, Jesse and The Fosters, where I
Speaker 1: assume he first met Maya, and then fan favorite and
Speaker 1: friend of the show John de Luca is back as Butchy.
Speaker 1: John has been seen in a ton of stuff, including
Speaker 1: Ugly Betty, This Life of the American Teenager, General Hospital,
Speaker 1: and The American Horror Story or is it just American
Speaker 1: Horror Story? I've never seen it, but I think it's
Speaker 1: just American Horror Story? I added the sorry. Also worth
Speaker 1: noting he was the original Bucky on the failed Disney
Speaker 1: TV show pilot Zombies and Cheerleaders.
Speaker 4: Which.
Speaker 1: Was later turned into the Zombies movie franchise Something Horribly
Speaker 1: He's not in. Ever, Throw the guy a role in
Speaker 1: one of those, because he deserves it. Yes, another return
Speaker 1: is Chrissy fit our beloved Chee Chee. She's flow and
Speaker 1: pitch perfect two and three and was wonderful, but also
Speaker 1: has been seen on General Hospital, the TV version of
Speaker 1: I Know What You Did Last Summer, and The Aquafina Show.
Speaker 1: Another fan favorite, Jordan Fisher, is back as Seacat. It
Speaker 1: is a small part, but he was a Disney regular
Speaker 1: back in the day, appearing on I Carly, The Thunderman's
Speaker 1: and Livin Maddie, but was recently the voice of Robert,
Speaker 1: a member of the fake band for Town in the
Speaker 1: movie Turning Red. Okay, there's this whole bunch of words
Speaker 1: there I'll never understand lot. Yeah, exactly, and this movie runs.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm taking a long pause because that's how
Speaker 1: long the movie was. One hundred and four minutes. Horrendous people,
Speaker 1: truly disgusting. I'm appalled, fourteen whole minutes over the target,
Speaker 1: which is basically another movie. In my opinion, why not
Speaker 1: just make it three hours long and have an intermission
Speaker 1: in the middle.
Speaker 4: I'm telling you.
Speaker 2: Where it happens too is a lot of and although
Speaker 2: I enjoyed it, a lot of the dances at like
Speaker 2: the performances were so long, like to the point where
Speaker 2: I'm like, we're still going, like there's still dancing on
Speaker 2: lunch tables.
Speaker 1: And one of the things, yeah, one of the dances.
Speaker 1: I liked the dancing, but I didn't like the song
Speaker 1: so I and it's kind of an important one but
Speaker 1: it probably should have been cut. But anyway, I would
Speaker 1: love to just stop the podcast now, just like just.
Speaker 4: Like cut it down.
Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be gone gone, but like drown
Speaker 2: and for that's a lot.
Speaker 1: That's Godfather's like one hundred and six. I'm kidding, it's
Speaker 1: longer than that. But ah, I want to just shut
Speaker 1: the podcast down right now and call but I'll power on. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. It's just long. We have a packed house
Speaker 1: when it comes to the writers. Maybe that's why it's
Speaker 1: so long. It's based on characters by Vince Marcello and
Speaker 1: Mark Landry, the two writers from the first movie, obviously
Speaker 1: something that has happened to every franchise. And we have
Speaker 1: a story credit to Robert Horne, another writer from the
Speaker 1: first movie, but sneaking in there with another story by
Speaker 1: credit is dcom legend, the writer of All Things Good,
Speaker 1: Dan Berenson. Again pick a dcom of the two thousands,
Speaker 1: and chances are he wrote it with our other writer
Speaker 1: friend we have on the podcast. It's like we're covering everybody,
Speaker 1: covering every base. The two guys wrote everything. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: next to Stu Kreeger, it's just if it's just Stu
Speaker 1: Kreeger and Dan Berenson, you've got the Disney Channel for
Speaker 1: like twenty years, you'd get crazy. Yeah, you're good, Yes,
Speaker 1: but the true screenplay credit goes to Matt and Billy
Speaker 1: Eddie Brothers, whose other credits include the dcom Zapped, Bad
Speaker 1: Hair Day, and Invisible Sister, as well as Nickelodeon's Monster
Speaker 1: High Movie and Monster High Too. Okay, we're right where
Speaker 1: we want to be because this is meant to be.
Speaker 1: We're starting over with a silver scream gem that is
Speaker 1: guaranteed to twist your frown upside down. Let's get into
Speaker 1: Teen Beach Too, or Teen Beach DH as it was
Speaker 1: called in France. We open with Mac and Brady walking
Speaker 1: on the beach. Brady is leading the way because Mac
Speaker 1: is blindfolded, it has no clue where she's going, but
Speaker 1: she knows it's not some hostage situation or a night
Speaker 1: of surfing it's a date commemorating the three month anniversary,
Speaker 1: and he's taking her to a very romantic spot where
Speaker 1: they met. And I thought it was very strange that
Speaker 1: as she was blindfolded, he said, do you recognize this place?
Speaker 1: And she did. He then goes on to say, it's
Speaker 1: been the most bodacious summer, even though they got trapped
Speaker 1: inside a movie. And now we know we're picking up
Speaker 1: shortly after the first teen beach ended, and I dig that.
Speaker 1: I like just picking up where we left off. Good,
Speaker 1: good plan. A little bit after, Brady finally removes her
Speaker 1: blindfold and he's recreated their first rendezvous the night they
Speaker 1: watched Wet Side Story together. Can't get a wear that nowadays.
Speaker 1: Hey babe, why don't we go somewhere and watch Wet
Speaker 1: Side Story together? You're gonna get a slap, he announces
Speaker 1: they're gonna watch it again, leading us to our first song,
Speaker 1: Best Summer ever, that's been in my head for three days,
Speaker 1: with the projected cast of the movie leading the way.
Speaker 1: The surface and bikers together for a big number with
Speaker 1: our two love birds singing along, and as the track end,
Speaker 1: Brady rushes her to the beach with their boards so
Speaker 1: they will be surfing. After all, what did you think
Speaker 1: of the first song and dance, Sabrina?
Speaker 4: It was cute.
Speaker 2: It was like I thought, it was a great like
Speaker 2: little intro into like remembering where we're going with this movie.
Speaker 2: You know where we've been and where we're going with it.
Speaker 1: I'm literally the middle of the night last night, I
Speaker 1: woke up at three o'clock in the morning, going.
Speaker 4: Like, oh God, what's happened.
Speaker 1: So, I mean, that's got to tell you. It's got
Speaker 1: to show you something, right. I mean, I've been into
Speaker 1: the I'm walking around going times and I'm like.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, cut it out, poor Sue.
Speaker 1: I know that's true. It's true. Now out in the ocean,
Speaker 1: chilling on their boards, they talk about being the last
Speaker 1: day of summer. They start. They do a lot of
Speaker 1: night swimming in a place where things can kill you,
Speaker 1: which I.
Speaker 2: Again, I'm telling you the whole time, I'm thinking, like
Speaker 2: all of the shows I've been watching on Shark Week, like,
Speaker 2: you should not be in the ocean right now. You know,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't even know that a shark was coming. It's dark.
Speaker 1: It's a very it's a very very bad time to
Speaker 1: be incredibly unsafe. Yes, yeah, but not in Disney movies.
Speaker 3: I guess. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They talk about it being the last day of summer.
Speaker 1: They start school tomorrow and she will be very busy
Speaker 1: with classes. But Brady, well, he won't be. He's a
Speaker 1: lazy surfing bro and he loves it, but he worries
Speaker 1: that things might be a little different for them now
Speaker 1: that they'll be in school. They'll be in a totally
Speaker 1: new environment. Mac thinks they'll be fine, but Brady is
Speaker 1: clearly worried. And that's when Mac realizes she's lost her necklace.
Speaker 1: It's the only thing she has from her time in
Speaker 1: Wet Side Story. It was a from Layla And then
Speaker 1: we the audience see it floating and twinkling to the
Speaker 1: bottom of the ocean, Titanic style. That woman had the
Speaker 1: eighty million dollar necklace the entire time. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: dies and goes instantly to Leonardo DiCaprio, like her husband
Speaker 1: of forty years is sitting there waiting with roses, like,
Speaker 1: where the hell is she? And she going to Leonardo DiCaprio,
Speaker 1: the guy I knew for two days. Thanks, thanks babe.
Speaker 1: Then we're thrown in the first day of school. Students
Speaker 1: are just arriving to Windy Bluff High including the one
Speaker 1: man Stoke Machine, Devin, Brady's best friend, who is skateboarding
Speaker 1: and filming himself. He reunites with Brady and we see
Speaker 1: there a very long and very complicated handshake. They catch
Speaker 1: up about their summers, including news of Brady's new girlfriend, Mack,
Speaker 1: who he pretends is a natural, very chill beach bum.
Speaker 1: She isn't. She's an uptight book nerd. Now in the halls,
Speaker 1: Mac is handing out flyers for her oceanography club, a
Speaker 1: new initiative she conceived when she decided not to transfer
Speaker 1: to a prep school this year. She catches up with
Speaker 1: her pal, another overachiever, Alyssa, who reveals she's recently hung
Speaker 1: out with the cutest boy in school, Spencer Watkins. Then,
Speaker 1: right on time, Brady pops up, where in flip flops,
Speaker 1: he introduces Mac A's his girlfriend, completely shocking Devin and Alyssa.
Speaker 1: It's a real opposite to track kind of deal. One
Speaker 1: of them's a surfer and the other can read. The
Speaker 1: couple tries to make plans, but Mac is swamped with
Speaker 1: study groups and extra curricular clubs. Curricular and curriculum are
Speaker 1: always so difficult to say for me, but they do
Speaker 1: meet back up in third period marine biology Awesome High School,
Speaker 1: where Brady is sketching some surfboard ideas instead of doing
Speaker 1: the lab project. And for marine biology, I'm wondering what
Speaker 1: they're doing with bunts and burners and beakers and everything.
Speaker 1: But hey, I guess maybe I don't know the ocean.
Speaker 1: I mean, she even says I love biology, and then
Speaker 1: she said I think I love chemistry. And it's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: what class are you in?
Speaker 2: But I mean it makes sense though, like sometimes they
Speaker 2: feel like teachers teach different courses, like they don't have
Speaker 2: all of.
Speaker 1: Their right but this is the class they're in together.
Speaker 1: So this is supposed to be third period marine biology, right,
Speaker 1: So then what are they doing with beakers?
Speaker 4: Well, I yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't I must not know the actual that it
Speaker 1: must be doing something oceany Yeah, then cutie Spencer Watkins
Speaker 1: runs into a very awkward Alyssa, who eventually just trips
Speaker 1: and breaks some beakers, but in reality appears Spencer's actually
Speaker 1: into Mac. He's the chair of the Environmental Study Society
Speaker 1: and wants to collaborate with her on the new environmental club,
Speaker 1: but is really flirty about it. It seems like they seem
Speaker 1: to hit it off, and Brady is immediately threatened. He
Speaker 1: throws himself into their conversation. We get some serious cringe
Speaker 1: moments here. Now with the lab assignment, whatever the hell
Speaker 1: it is, in full swing, the girls look right at
Speaker 1: home while while our surfer bros barely pay attention, and
Speaker 1: Brady gets even more insecure when he sees Mac and
Speaker 1: Spencer chatting it up about spending a future semester at
Speaker 1: sea together once classes is Miss Max shows Brady some
Speaker 1: bracelets she'll be selling It or Save the Beach Dance,
Speaker 1: and they're pretty underwhelming if you ask me. Brady invites
Speaker 1: her to go surfing, but Max's she's too busy prepping
Speaker 1: for the event. Brady suggests a wet side story theme
Speaker 1: at the beach, but she argues that no one else
Speaker 1: in the school has seen the movie. She reminds him
Speaker 1: about the college fair later, something she's very much looking
Speaker 1: forward to, and he is clearly dreading. So Brady goes
Speaker 1: off to surf, stopping at his little bamboo shack, which
Speaker 1: on that beach and wherever they're supposed to be Hawaii
Speaker 1: whatever is probably a seven or eight million dollars surf
Speaker 1: shack to apply online to college. And we know this
Speaker 1: because college application is in huge letters on the screen.
Speaker 1: Not the specific college, not whatever, just college application. It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I guess he's applying to college. He doesn't even know
Speaker 1: where to start, so he shifts his focus back to
Speaker 1: his secret surfboard sketches. Brady's mom, who I don't think
Speaker 1: we met. In the first one we had his Barry
Speaker 1: Bosswick played his grandfather or father. It was his grandfather
Speaker 1: right that he lived. Yes, yeah, I don't think we
Speaker 1: met her.
Speaker 2: We never meet his dad either, even within the second movie. Yeah,
Speaker 2: which is weird because I feel like it we usually
Speaker 2: at least get the parents of.
Speaker 1: The main characters, right, and we didn't see her at all.
Speaker 4: There was really no adult see in this movie at all.
Speaker 1: No, I can't remember if we saw it.
Speaker 2: Weren't even really teachers, I don't feel like no.
Speaker 1: But we do get to meet Brady's mom very briefly.
Speaker 1: For one scene. She stops by and they chat about
Speaker 1: his college dilemma, and she's like, hey, maybe pick a
Speaker 1: college instead of just going to college application. She doesn't
Speaker 1: actually say that but she should. He has no idea
Speaker 1: what he wants to do in the fact that Mac
Speaker 1: has her entire future planned out is very intimidating. She
Speaker 1: tells him not to stress, all things will work out
Speaker 1: in time. Again, left alone with his sketches, it should
Speaker 1: come as no surprise that he's also watching his favorite movie,
Speaker 1: the one he was sucked into, Wet Side Story, which
Speaker 1: I've now said so many times it's starting to sound normal.
Speaker 1: It's a scene where tan No, it's not, it's not
Speaker 1: at all. It's a scene where Tanner is ready to
Speaker 1: leave the beach and his new biker Chick Layla I
Speaker 1: can say chick, because it's supposed to be the sixties,
Speaker 1: is going to be left behind. She's nervous for him,
Speaker 1: but also volunteers to tag along. Everyone's shocked to hear
Speaker 1: the suggestion women aren't meant to do an anything important,
Speaker 1: but Leila argues she might be able to help. He
Speaker 1: lets her know the harsh reality of the fifties and sixties,
Speaker 1: and she admits she has no idea what she was thinking.
Speaker 1: She tells him to be brave and the men I'll
Speaker 1: leave the woman behind. So does this mean the original
Speaker 1: movie has now changed so that there's time travel. Like
Speaker 1: I I liked the idea that it seemed like ever
Speaker 1: since our two main characters got too wet side story.
Speaker 2: There's a shift.
Speaker 1: There's a shift, and and they're almost like the characters
Speaker 1: in that movie are starting to wake up, especially Layla
Speaker 1: is starting to wake up to changing the world around
Speaker 1: her or around them the other characters. So I like that,
Speaker 1: but I didn't understand kind of what they were. It
Speaker 1: would this be happening if he wasn't watching the movie?
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I think that's the idea, is that
Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, the shifts happen now that like they
Speaker 2: they didn't forget about, right, the two characters coming.
Speaker 1: In, But do the shifts ship do they happen in
Speaker 1: the movie? Like if he's watching the screen, is the
Speaker 1: movie now different than the one he's been watching forever?
Speaker 1: Because she's now changing.
Speaker 2: She wants to do back and forth because that was
Speaker 2: That's what I mean. She drops into his arms like
Speaker 2: that whole thing happens again, but she's changed now, so
Speaker 2: that's when she's like, I can't do this anymore. So yeah,
Speaker 2: so it's like a replay of the movie, but now
Speaker 2: she's the one. She's really the one that's making the
Speaker 2: big moves for this, right.
Speaker 1: But if I'm myself sitting there in teen Beachland and
Speaker 1: I turn on my TV to wet some whatever it
Speaker 1: is wet wet side story, am I now watching a
Speaker 1: different movie than was originally there?
Speaker 4: That's what I think the intention?
Speaker 1: Okay, gotcha? Gotcha? Okay, we are back in the expensive
Speaker 1: hut workshop. Brady's deep into his surfboard plans when he
Speaker 1: realizes he's late for the college fair. Oh no. He
Speaker 1: jumps up to get changed, it did nicer clothes and
Speaker 1: speeds off in the rain in a two person bike
Speaker 1: by himself. For some reason, he's had a two person bike.
Speaker 2: I got either, Like what why?
Speaker 1: Why he's got a two person bike? Anyway, he speeds
Speaker 1: off into the rain. He makes the fair just as
Speaker 1: it's closing and sees Mac hanging out with the dork
Speaker 1: spencer again, and there's a great shot of him just
Speaker 1: in the rain. Now he's totally drenched. She wants to
Speaker 1: know what's going on here. Mac is disappointed he missed
Speaker 1: the fair. Yet Brady's the one who's angry for no
Speaker 1: real reason at all. He's the late one Mack even
Speaker 1: reveals she's been texting him trying to find out where
Speaker 1: he was. The argument is over his immaturity and the
Speaker 1: idea that their relationship seems low on her priority list.
Speaker 1: They stubbornly agree that maybe they won't work during the
Speaker 1: school year. After all, what are couple's breaking up already?
Speaker 2: And it's like over really like nothing, like I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: I'm late, Mac, But.
Speaker 1: He also didn't even show It's so funny, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: you instantly went on to his side where I'm like,
Speaker 1: but wait a minute. She they wanted to do one
Speaker 1: thing together. They're going to the college fair. He doesn't
Speaker 1: show up at all. She's been texting all day and
Speaker 1: he shows up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that didn't make sense, But it was also kind
Speaker 2: of like I mean for her to be like we're
Speaker 2: just not gonna work out, Like okay, wow, wow, I
Speaker 2: meant let him have it. I'm all about letting him
Speaker 2: have it, but like, now you can't be with this
Speaker 2: person because of one mistake, like man, yeah, that and
Speaker 2: Anti wears flip flops that you don't like. Like this
Speaker 2: is just getting crazy. Max in all fairness too much.
Speaker 1: He didn't even bring a bag to school, like he's
Speaker 1: got nothing. Yeah, he just walks in with a pen.
Speaker 1: It's like, dude, you gotta get your learn on a bit.
Speaker 1: I get you on a surf. That's great. But anyway, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a she's a bit too much and he's not enough.
Speaker 4: I guess, yeah he's not.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Later, Max sits atop a lifeguard tower as a sad
Speaker 1: song plays. She's obviously affected, and so is Brady, who's
Speaker 1: on his balcony playing an acoustic guitar. Imagine being surprised
Speaker 1: he plays an acoustic guitar. He's very much the acoustic
Speaker 1: guitar type he is. But the song is on my
Speaker 1: own and ode to his new breakup and being single
Speaker 1: for a few hours. Apparently he already writes it. First
Speaker 1: do we think of? Okay? What do you I? Okay,
Speaker 1: I really liked this song. I did this is this
Speaker 1: is one where I was like, Okay, it's very Matchbox
Speaker 1: twenty adjacent. Yeah, yeah, but I liked this. I also
Speaker 1: was trying to remember was he a musician in the
Speaker 1: first one?
Speaker 2: I was trying to remember too, And we both said
Speaker 2: we were going to watch the first one, I know,
Speaker 2: and then we never did, and we did.
Speaker 4: It and this is when I went damn it.
Speaker 2: Then like I just like and then then he's got.
Speaker 1: Thousands of dollars worth of equipment as he's recording songs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't remember that being a part of his
Speaker 2: storyline of him being like this, like you know.
Speaker 1: But then it's never mentioned again. He doesn't play heard
Speaker 1: the song he's recording, he doesn't say I want to
Speaker 1: be a musician, he doesn't say. It's literally never mentioned
Speaker 1: against it's.
Speaker 2: Honestly to like they were using the opportunity of like
Speaker 2: Ross Lynch at this point, especially like their band was
Speaker 2: really doing well and that's was like his thing, so
Speaker 2: they they took the first movie. I think he just
Speaker 2: booked it for you know, sure whatever, and then they
Speaker 2: kind of tried to like push it into like the
Speaker 2: fact that he's like like a little rock star.
Speaker 1: Right, But then why don't they do it the way
Speaker 1: they've done every other song in every other musical, where
Speaker 1: he walks on the beach and dances, he plays his
Speaker 1: guitar and he sings the song. Why didn't have to
Speaker 1: set it up where he's literally setting up recording equipment
Speaker 1: and recording a song by himself in a hut that
Speaker 1: he never plays for anybody. He never talks about wanting
Speaker 1: to be a musician before or after. It never comes
Speaker 1: up again. So what made them go, you know, we're
Speaker 1: gonna have to record a song instead of taking that
Speaker 1: acoustic guitar and have him walking in the waves and
Speaker 1: surfing at night. I mean, they do it every movie.
Speaker 1: This was just it was so strange to me where
Speaker 1: it's like, now, I know, it's kind of me to me.
Speaker 2: I just literally instantly went like, oh, they're trying to
Speaker 2: obviously highlight who Ross actually is, not his character, but
Speaker 2: who he actually is is a.
Speaker 1: Person, mention it or play the song for the girl
Speaker 1: or something. I mean, yeah, and it happened.
Speaker 2: I was assuming it was kind of come back, and
Speaker 2: it never means. However, we're still at one hundred and
Speaker 2: five minutes. I know, when when the hell do we
Speaker 2: have time to actually bring it back.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but man, they should have because it's like,
Speaker 1: you gotta you know, if you're gonna set up something
Speaker 1: like that, it's got to pay off somewhere. And also,
Speaker 1: were you surprised by this point in the movie that
Speaker 1: that wet side story, like the characters weren't integrated at
Speaker 1: all at this point. I mean we're like, what twenty
Speaker 1: minutes in something like that. Yeah, we're letting the wet
Speaker 1: side story, but they're not interacting. So yeah, and again,
Speaker 1: the last one ended them all walking out of the water.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm just gonna say. And I get them
Speaker 2: going like, but we what they were? Aren't they already here?
Speaker 2: Like where are they? Like this house?
Speaker 4: Are they at?
Speaker 1: Prediculous? We talked about this. Yeah, yeah, okay, well it
Speaker 1: was strange.
Speaker 2: I was kind of like, again, going that it's interesting
Speaker 2: that they did that at the end because really, remember
Speaker 2: that was like an extra scene that wasn't even necessarily needed,
Speaker 2: like it didn't wrap up anything. It was already a
Speaker 2: done movie. And then they did it like teasing for
Speaker 2: the second movie.
Speaker 1: They kind of did that with the Zombies. It was
Speaker 1: was a Zombies three where we thought it was Zombies
Speaker 1: two maybe where we thought the next one was going
Speaker 1: to be Mermaids, Like they really set it up. It
Speaker 1: was kind of ocean based, and then it never happened. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then so they're bringing that back now at the
Speaker 1: end of four. Yeah, but it was Zombies.
Speaker 4: Four Zombies two though, Remember there was.
Speaker 2: A poster of like Aliens, like they a cartoon part
Speaker 2: thing where they do the wrap up.
Speaker 4: There wasn't Aliens.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, they're already trying to bring it back. But anyway,
Speaker 1: once this song that he's recording for nobody but himself
Speaker 1: on really expensive equipment is done, Wet Side Story is
Speaker 1: back on TV. It's a big diner scene between Tanner
Speaker 1: and when they first meet, blended together the two social
Speaker 1: groups that have never been able to mix. But now
Speaker 1: she breaks character and says she can't do this anymore.
Speaker 1: Everyone in the diner stops that they're doing. Some even
Speaker 1: fall to the ground and shock. This isn't supposed to happen.
Speaker 1: Leela runs out the door and her brother biker Butchi
Speaker 1: is very concerned. Tanner chases after her to find her
Speaker 1: frozen staring out into the ocean. She admits ever since
Speaker 1: Mac and Brady visited, she feels different. She wants new experiences,
Speaker 1: and that's when she sees it. The necklace she gave
Speaker 1: Mac has now washed up on shore, and she thinks
Speaker 1: it's a sign she must be reunited with Mack. She
Speaker 1: says goodbye to a very confused Tanner. Then the surfers,
Speaker 1: then the bikers, then the people who always stand around
Speaker 1: in the background whose name she doesn't know. That's great,
Speaker 1: and then she just walks into the ocean. Tanner hysterically
Speaker 1: because he hates the cold water, follows her in and poof,
Speaker 1: they're gone. And this is where Tanner just started to
Speaker 1: steal this movie for me.
Speaker 4: Sae.
Speaker 1: He was great. The next morning, Oh my god, he was.
Speaker 1: She's so was she. They were both great.
Speaker 2: Yes, he was good in the last one, but he
Speaker 2: really took this character to the next level, really did,
Speaker 2: and it worked. It would so well.
Speaker 1: Any more would have been too much, Yeah, but he
Speaker 1: did just the right amount. It was very, very funny.
Speaker 1: The next morning, the that and Tennify themselves washed up
Speaker 1: on shore too, and immediately spot a man on a flyboard,
Speaker 1: those odd jet packs you wear on your feet to
Speaker 1: launch you out of the water. This is a very
Speaker 1: twenty tens type of thing. Have you ever met anybody
Speaker 1: who's ever done these? No?
Speaker 2: But I would love for Jordan to try, because I
Speaker 2: think he'd be so good at it, because he's.
Speaker 1: I think it looks like if you can surfer, you
Speaker 1: can snowboard if you've got that kind of balance and
Speaker 1: the core strength then you can probably do it.
Speaker 4: But it's I've seen people.
Speaker 2: I've actually been like in Newport on like a duffy
Speaker 2: and seen someone out in the bay air like the area,
Speaker 2: like actually doing it.
Speaker 1: What's a duffy.
Speaker 2: A duffy is like a little it's a it's a
Speaker 2: like a small boat that you like a dinghy. No, No,
Speaker 2: like a boat. It's a small boat like holds like
Speaker 2: anywhere from like eight to twelve people.
Speaker 4: It's got a little table in the middle.
Speaker 1: It's like electric duffy.
Speaker 2: I he that. Oh, it's they're so nice. You take
Speaker 2: them out in the water. You can like do like
Speaker 2: a cheeseboard and like just like god, yes.
Speaker 1: Okay, duffy and cheese. I'm down.
Speaker 4: You're gonna do it's I love it.
Speaker 2: That will be our first hangout, yes, and then seven years,
Speaker 2: five years.
Speaker 1: We'll do a duffy and cheese. I love it. The
Speaker 1: duo from the sixties is then confused by some joggers
Speaker 1: and wetsuits and flabberg acid by a guitar player with
Speaker 1: dreadlocks that makes him look like he's in the band pod.
Speaker 1: In short, they are way out of their element, and
Speaker 1: when they ask for help from a surfer. They're offered
Speaker 1: a cell phone, and Tenner thinks it's a little lady
Speaker 1: in a little box. While Brady heads to the ocean,
Speaker 1: he spots Mac picking up trash in the beach. They
Speaker 1: have a very tense exchange, then Mac notices some people
Speaker 1: running towards them. It's Leila and Tanner. Brady and Mack
Speaker 1: explain that they're in the future, and that leads us
Speaker 1: to our next song Right Where I Want to Be
Speaker 1: a track all about their new surroundings. Tanner discovers remote
Speaker 1: control helicopters, break dancing, and those guys who paint themselves
Speaker 1: silver for tips, And I think, oh my god, if
Speaker 1: if I'm right about this, I have not googled because
Speaker 1: I didn't want to know, but I think the guy
Speaker 1: all painted up in silver doing the robot is the
Speaker 1: same guy who does all the robot stuff in Step
Speaker 1: up two through five, And so if I recognize that
Speaker 1: guy covered in silver paint, if I'm right, I'm going
Speaker 1: to be shocked. But I think that's how much of
Speaker 1: a step up fan I am is I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: the same guy.
Speaker 2: I cannot even believe you.
Speaker 1: Lisa's honest, Lisa, I'm pretty I swear to God, I
Speaker 1: have not looked, but I think it's the same guy.
Speaker 1: If I'm right, I'm going to be shocked.
Speaker 4: That I'm gonna just die.
Speaker 2: That's so good.
Speaker 1: Let's where I think it's him.
Speaker 2: Okay, man, and if only we had al I'm right,
Speaker 2: I'm right you are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, right.
Speaker 3: I knew that.
Speaker 1: I was like, that's the guy from the Step Up movies,
Speaker 1: and even I recognize me painted all Solver. That's oh
Speaker 1: my step up to the streets where we first meet him?
Speaker 1: It's very important. Was it in two or three where
Speaker 1: we met him? I think we met him in two anyway.
Speaker 4: I don't know, You're insane.
Speaker 1: What did you think? Okay, so this is where this
Speaker 1: we're talking about, right where I want to be? Track
Speaker 1: about their new surroundings, the break dancing guy Leila learns
Speaker 1: here about women's rights, which is cool. What did you
Speaker 1: think about where I want to be? Right where I
Speaker 1: want to be? This song?
Speaker 2: This wasn't my more memorable one. This one was kind
Speaker 2: of like cute. But again, I do think I want
Speaker 2: to know how long these ones are because this is
Speaker 2: I think the first one that I'm going got these
Speaker 2: these musicals they're starting to get long. This is the
Speaker 2: first one. It wasn't bad, but it just wasn't like
Speaker 2: super impressionable to me.
Speaker 4: What did you think?
Speaker 1: I again, I like the two of them together and
Speaker 1: people looking around them like who the hell is this
Speaker 1: and then joining in and not knowing why they're joining in.
Speaker 1: They do that again at the school. Yeah, but I
Speaker 1: think if I think, if you could cut one, I
Speaker 1: would have cut this this one song. And I didn't
Speaker 1: mind the song, whereas the next one. I liked the
Speaker 1: dancing and hated the song. And we'll get into that.
Speaker 1: But it was yeah, I mean it was, it was okay.
Speaker 1: While Leela and Tanner continue their exploration of a new decade,
Speaker 1: Brady and Mack realize it'll be tough to control these two,
Speaker 1: especially once they notice that their hair still doesn't get wet,
Speaker 1: which is a funny observation from teen Beach one. Leila
Speaker 1: and Tanner discuss if revealing to their friends that their
Speaker 1: fictional characters from a movie is the right thing to do,
Speaker 1: but for now, they decide to just take it slow.
Speaker 1: We're back at Max's house. Leela is learning all about
Speaker 1: iPods and preparing her wardrobe for Wendy bluff, but no
Speaker 1: matter what she tries on, she emerges looking like a
Speaker 1: girl from the sixties. Very clever.
Speaker 2: I loved that part. It was very cool, so funny.
Speaker 1: Yep, we are now back in Wet Side Story. I
Speaker 1: guess just got to lean into it. But she admits
Speaker 1: to the cast that nothing feels right since Leela and
Speaker 1: Tanner walked into the ocean if, as they noticed, just stopped.
Speaker 1: They wonder if singing a song will help. So we
Speaker 1: get Chrissy fit as Chee Chee singing our next track,
Speaker 1: Fallen for You, a fun comedic jingle from the first
Speaker 1: movie that now includes some infighting with Seacat. What did
Speaker 1: you think of this one?
Speaker 2: I thought this one was cute. I actually really liked it.
Speaker 2: It was I thought it was great to see again,
Speaker 2: we haven't really seen a lot of the Wet Side
Speaker 2: Story characters, right, so it was nice for them to
Speaker 2: have like a moment. I really did actually like it.
Speaker 2: It shows off how funny all these characters are, and
Speaker 2: the actors like just did really really well with this one.
Speaker 1: I thought, I agree, and I think if memory serves
Speaker 1: some of the first one of these that we did.
Speaker 1: The woman to the if you're looking at the screen
Speaker 1: to the left of Chee Chee, who was her number
Speaker 1: one singer, the Long Dark Hair. She was also the choreographer,
Speaker 1: if memory serves that was that was. It was her
Speaker 1: and somebody else that did the choreography for the first movie,
Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure for this one this one as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, had a bigger This movie seemed very seamless with
Speaker 2: the other one when it comes to choreography.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it seems like pretty sure that was the one.
Speaker 1: She did the first one and did this one as well.
Speaker 4: Got it.
Speaker 1: When even a song doesn't help, it's undeniable that things
Speaker 1: are off. And then one of the background surfers disappears.
Speaker 1: He just zaps away. No one notices, though, because they're
Speaker 1: all too focused on a girl shaking her butt. I'd
Speaker 1: explain more about that, but it's probably funnier to just
Speaker 1: leave it at that. Back at modern day Windy Bluff
Speaker 1: High School, Tanner and Leila have joined Brady and Mack
Speaker 1: to get some ground rules down. Don't do anything that
Speaker 1: gives them the way, like getting their hair wet or
Speaker 1: letting them their white teeth. Blaying is, like Tanner, always
Speaker 1: a good thing when he opens his teeth, but especially
Speaker 1: no singing, not even if it's from the heart or
Speaker 1: moves the story along. I love how she said that,
Speaker 1: not even from the heart, it moves the story alone,
Speaker 1: again not taking itself seriously, kind of making fun of
Speaker 1: movies as they go. While walking the halls, Tanner is
Speaker 1: naturally standing out. The ladies love him, even a goth one.
Speaker 1: Brady introduces his new friend to Devin as his cousin
Speaker 1: Dolph from Iceland. Unfortunately, Devin had been to Iceland before,
Speaker 1: so that made for a few tough questions, but in
Speaker 1: the end, Devin loves Dolph and Tanner is excited for
Speaker 1: a day in school, and Leela is really loving her
Speaker 1: classes already She's learning a lot and proving it basically
Speaker 1: be a genius. And in the hallway with Max, she
Speaker 1: meets Spencer and is stunned by how cute he is.
Speaker 1: Is he? Is he cute? He seemed cute? Is he cute?
Speaker 4: Guy?
Speaker 1: Yeah? He was?
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: I wish we had more of what his credits are
Speaker 2: because he looked so familiar. I couldn't remember where I've
Speaker 2: seen him before, to the point where I'm like, have
Speaker 2: I worked with it?
Speaker 5: Why?
Speaker 2: Why does this guy look so familiar, but I could
Speaker 2: not place him. But yeah, he was really cute and
Speaker 2: I liked how different he looked, Like I love that
Speaker 2: they have so many different looking people that are like, yeah,
Speaker 2: so adorable in this movie, like we hit all the boxes.
Speaker 1: Like again, arguably, I think we talked about this last movie,
Speaker 1: but this would be up there too. Is arguably best
Speaker 1: looking cast overall. Yes, I mean you think about from
Speaker 1: each character down, like every everybody's Layla.
Speaker 2: Is a stunning, stunning girl.
Speaker 1: Oh gorgeous, distractingly.
Speaker 4: Yes, with her eyes like and I mean it.
Speaker 1: Was just and she's so good in this movie and
Speaker 1: yeah she's Yeah, I felt the same way. I have
Speaker 1: to ask, though, because we've got another another boy cutie
Speaker 1: for you, Ross Lynch. Would he have been on your
Speaker 1: wall as a kid?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: No, not your title?
Speaker 2: And I worked with Ross Ross and I did a
Speaker 2: chorus line at the Hollywood Bowl together, Okay, and he
Speaker 2: is so sweet, Like I mean, I think it's like
Speaker 2: one of those things like I probably if I was
Speaker 2: younger and got to know Ross, not necessarily like this character,
Speaker 2: but if I got to know him, yeah, I'd probably
Speaker 2: have a crush because he's just so sweet, like such
Speaker 2: a nice guy.
Speaker 4: You'd I know, I can't find anyone. You know.
Speaker 2: What's crazy is like the closest one. I think that
Speaker 2: sort of looks like George and is the the beach
Speaker 2: guy like Jordan. Yeah, he looks like Jordan's all right,
Speaker 2: fair enough? No not no, not Bogie, the one that
Speaker 2: stole the show Tannery.
Speaker 1: Oh really he looks almost like Jordan, who doesn't actually exist.
Speaker 1: That's awesome, pretty sure. Mac introduces Leela as cousin Delga
Speaker 1: from Finland, which seems like quite a coincidence between her
Speaker 1: and Brady regarding calling them cousins, also from like the
Speaker 1: same part of the world. But anyway. Spencer apologizes if
Speaker 1: he's causing any problems with Brady yesterday and asked about
Speaker 1: the upcoming Save the Beach dance. The other thing they
Speaker 1: never get into save the beach from what?
Speaker 2: Yeah, just it's just that she's it just is like
Speaker 2: implying that she's like an activist, like I know, but
Speaker 2: they didn't.
Speaker 1: They never talk about saving the beach from. What is
Speaker 1: a corporation coming in? Are are people? She talks about litter?
Speaker 1: Just what are they saving the beach from? I'd love
Speaker 1: to know just right. I need I need to know
Speaker 1: the rules again.
Speaker 2: But anyway, and it was a big dance. It was
Speaker 2: like the size of like a homecoming, like yeah, prom
Speaker 2: It was not like a little beach, you know. It
Speaker 2: was like, yep, this is big.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. Mac admits they haven't sold many tickets,
Speaker 1: but Laila is now very excited for it. They also
Speaker 1: bump into Alyssa and she immediately hits it off with Laila.
Speaker 1: Seems like everything is working out for the friends from
Speaker 1: the sixties movie. Mac and Brady regroup at lunch, detailing
Speaker 1: the disasters of a day they're living out. But Brady
Speaker 1: has a plan. He wants to let Layla and Tanner
Speaker 1: loose in the most confusing, scary place possible, the cafeteria.
Speaker 1: And then we see Tanner and Layla still sticking out
Speaker 1: like sore thumbs, looking for a place to sit neat.
Speaker 1: They're laughed at by the nerds, the cheerleaders, the skateboarders,
Speaker 1: the punks, and the preppies, eventually landing at the football jocks,
Speaker 1: who proceed to bully them. And despite the earlier warning
Speaker 1: from their friends, Tanner and Layla turn this into a song.
Speaker 1: It's called Twist your frown upside down. It's a track
Speaker 1: encouraging the student body to be friendlier every Eventually all
Speaker 1: the social groups join in, even Brady and Mac in
Speaker 1: the quarterback. What do we think about this one, Sabrina, No, no, no,
Speaker 1: this was not for you again.
Speaker 2: Well, I have a big thing to talk about in
Speaker 2: my Sabrita seas with it. But the visuals of this
Speaker 2: this was like this for me. I did love in
Speaker 2: the sense of the visuals of what they do when
Speaker 2: they do those like aerial shots of like you know,
Speaker 2: creating these great pictures. Those are the things like I
Speaker 2: really remember. But the song itself was like, I mean,
Speaker 2: I love cheesy moments. This was just like the dumbest
Speaker 2: song to me. And I'm sorry I they be so
Speaker 2: rude about it, but if you know, it's hard for
Speaker 2: me to be just.
Speaker 1: Like you don't like I do not like the color
Speaker 1: as your shirt right now?
Speaker 4: This one was.
Speaker 2: Just like I just feel like I was looking at
Speaker 2: the gave me like, are we for real?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Naw? So cool aspect of it at all?
Speaker 1: Playing Devil's Advocate. Isn't it supposed to be sixties teen
Speaker 1: beach kids doing a cheesy song? Yes, all the people
Speaker 1: in the cafeteria, like not knowing why they're joining in,
Speaker 1: like looking around, like why am I dancing like this?
Speaker 2: That part of this stuff was really funny. But even
Speaker 2: at the end when the jock like, I mean it
Speaker 2: was so quick the move songs over and he's like,
Speaker 2: we will never talk about this again.
Speaker 1: What because he put the he put the.
Speaker 2: Nerd in the both of their hands like it just
Speaker 2: like you know it just I think it went a
Speaker 2: one or two or twenty steps too far from me? Okay,
Speaker 2: what about you? Did you love it?
Speaker 1: I loved what they again, I love it didn't take
Speaker 1: itself seriously. The song was the song. I mean, the
Speaker 1: song was the song.
Speaker 2: But the choreography was good and I love the idea good,
Speaker 2: But the song was just like I know, I.
Speaker 1: Mean I like all the groups joining in and not
Speaker 1: knowing why they were joining Yes, yeah.
Speaker 2: I loved the concept of it. It's just the song itself.
Speaker 2: To me, this is what I think of that when
Speaker 2: I listen to these kinds of songs, I think of,
Speaker 2: would this be something I would like love performing? And
Speaker 2: that would be a hard no for me. I would
Speaker 2: have been really.
Speaker 1: Good no for me. Doug, Yeah, it no for me,
Speaker 1: doug Ah.
Speaker 2: It was like I would have been really embarrassed. And
Speaker 2: again I don't say that very often about knowing the
Speaker 2: things you don't, so if it's gone too far, then
Speaker 2: it's like.
Speaker 4: It's gone far.
Speaker 1: Okay, I love that.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 1: We are back at Big Mama's in the sixties. Wet
Speaker 1: Side story is just off the rails at this point,
Speaker 1: everyone is bored and confused, and they finally notice that
Speaker 1: people are starting to disappear. Back at school, kids actually
Speaker 1: love the singing our sixties. Transplants are becoming very popular,
Speaker 1: and Mac has focused on learning stuff, something she's not
Speaker 1: allowed to do back home, and now Brady's workshop. Something
Speaker 1: is bothering Tanner. This is a great scene. He's been thinking,
Speaker 1: and he usually doesn't do that. Leila's always been so
Speaker 1: focused on him ever since she's just walked out of
Speaker 1: the ocean thinking for herself. It's made him feel different.
Speaker 1: He's nervous things won't work out. Tanner explains that's called worry.
Speaker 1: What if he's not enough for her? Tanner suggests to
Speaker 1: be the best dude he can be and hope for
Speaker 1: the best. He admits he's having a bit of a
Speaker 1: rough patch with Mac two, he's been too focused on
Speaker 1: those surfboard ideas, and we finally get a glimpse of
Speaker 1: what they are, rotating fins, a folding surfboard for suitcases,
Speaker 1: and another board that doesn't even need waves. Tanner says
Speaker 1: he's never shown Mac because he thinks she'll judge him
Speaker 1: for spending too much time surfing, and where he has
Speaker 1: this moment. Tanner has this moment where he's still trying
Speaker 1: to be happy and fun but his eyes fill up
Speaker 1: with tears because he doesn't know what he's feeling. Great beat,
Speaker 1: so good. He was so good in this movie. He
Speaker 1: was so good in this Yes.
Speaker 2: He's shined. I don't remember him being like this like
Speaker 2: Shiny Star of.
Speaker 1: Now who we liked him if memory serves, But this.
Speaker 2: Was not as his character had so much growth in
Speaker 2: this movie and it really allowed him to show his
Speaker 2: acting chops, like on a whole other level.
Speaker 1: I agree, but that where he's he's got this big
Speaker 1: smile on his face still but his eyes are filling
Speaker 1: with tears and he doesn't know it was and he's.
Speaker 2: Really so adorable, Like he's just so cute.
Speaker 1: Best arguably best looking cast we've had. I yes, they're
Speaker 1: up there. We are over. We say that with every
Speaker 1: movie though, because then we go we watch like another
Speaker 1: Zombies or another just sent like everybody here's gorgeous too. Sure,
Speaker 1: we're over. At Max House, Leela admits she's never been
Speaker 1: this happy. She loves school and lip gloss, but Mac
Speaker 1: explains the real world isn't actually that great, with finals
Speaker 1: and taxes and global warming and even public restrooms.
Speaker 2: Like this fifteen year old is talking about taxes. What
Speaker 2: do you know about taxes?
Speaker 4: Mac? Like you know about taxes?
Speaker 1: My god, I gotta have my personal taxes in the
Speaker 1: fifteen Yeah, she doesn't.
Speaker 2: She does such a weird line for me, for her, like, ah, what, Like,
Speaker 2: I get it, she's mature. I do that as her character.
Speaker 1: But like taxes, Yeah, come, you're not doing your taxes.
Speaker 4: Let's pull it back in.
Speaker 1: You're not doing your taxes. She floats the idea that
Speaker 1: maybe the sixties are better, but Leela wants to live
Speaker 1: life to the fullest. Mack argues that having someone you
Speaker 1: love might be something to fight for and it mirrors
Speaker 1: her own issues with Brady, and maybe just maybe she's
Speaker 1: learning something too, and that's when Leela emerges from the closet.
Speaker 1: Now able to wear some of Max's clothes, she is
Speaker 1: suddenly becoming modernized. The guys rush over to the beach
Speaker 1: to see Leela for themselves. They also notice that's that
Speaker 1: Tanner's teeth aren't gleaming anymore. There's no more ding, and
Speaker 1: their hair can get wet. That is a problem. If
Speaker 1: the fabric of who they are changes, they'll be stuck
Speaker 1: in the real world forever. They must get back to
Speaker 1: the sixties and are running out of options. And then
Speaker 1: that's when Mac really abruptly tells them the truth. They
Speaker 1: aren't real people. They are fake characters from a movie,
Speaker 1: and this breaks their brains. Brady shows them wet side
Speaker 1: story on his phone, and this doesn't help. It's just
Speaker 1: so confusing. So Mack and Brady decide to explain it
Speaker 1: in a language everyone will understand. A song. That's nice
Speaker 1: do it So that's do it in song.
Speaker 7: And dense people again, Mac easier, thin, bro, I mean,
Speaker 7: come on, and that's oh my god, you're you're all fake.
Speaker 1: Like holy she.
Speaker 2: Gets she gets so like to the point she's so blunt.
Speaker 2: She's as blunt as like I am in the Cheetah Girls,
Speaker 2: like just ready to fight all the time, right, can
Speaker 2: throw down all the time. That's as blunt as Mac is.
Speaker 1: Just ready to swing.
Speaker 2: She is second.
Speaker 1: Yes, well, this is where we jump into silver screen
Speaker 1: a metajam about how life is better when you're in
Speaker 1: a movie. This is a very fun, very fun kind
Speaker 1: of production here. There's a lot of jumping from rom
Speaker 1: com to western, a musical, and even a pirate ship.
Speaker 1: What were your thoughts on this little ditty? Because I
Speaker 1: thought this one was very clever.
Speaker 2: I did too, I did too. This is to me
Speaker 2: what one of the like like, this is team beach
Speaker 2: to me like that?
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: This is the kind of song that I always will
Speaker 2: now think of when I think of this franchise, Like
Speaker 2: these kinds of musical numbers here right.
Speaker 1: Oh man, Yeah, this was a lot of fun. But
Speaker 1: Lela isn't sold. She wants to stay in modern day forever,
Speaker 1: so she rips off her necklace and throws it into
Speaker 1: the ocean. We are back at Big Mama's, Butchi knows
Speaker 1: there's only one thing left to do, pretend everything is
Speaker 1: fine and ignore their problems. The group agrees, but that's
Speaker 1: when Chee Chee comes running up with the news even
Speaker 1: more people are vanishing. Anyone could be next, and then
Speaker 1: Butchie finds the necklace. It's once again washed up, so
Speaker 1: he decides to face his fear of the water and
Speaker 1: go get his sister, and the entire group sprints with him.
Speaker 1: The next morning, Mac and Brady are arguing while trying
Speaker 1: to find the necklace in the ocean. Brady mentioned spend
Speaker 1: and it only adds fuel to the fire. And back
Speaker 1: on the beach, Leela and Tanner noticed something. Wait a minute,
Speaker 1: what is that some weirdos in the ocean fully clothed.
Speaker 1: What it's their friends from back home? What the heck? Okay,
Speaker 1: so now they're here, even though that's how it ended
Speaker 1: the first Okay, well, all right, there's a big reunion.
Speaker 1: But when they announced they've arrived to take their friends home,
Speaker 1: Leela explains she doesn't want to leave, she's just starting
Speaker 1: to find herself. But when she finds out that people
Speaker 1: are disappearing, the realization sets in Wet Side story might
Speaker 1: just go away forever, and Leela knows she must go back.
Speaker 1: The movie is her job, so she says goodbye to Mac,
Speaker 1: Tanner says goodbye to Brady, and the Wet Side story
Speaker 1: cast walks into the ocean with the necklace and back
Speaker 1: to the sixties. Now alone, Mack and Brady don't know
Speaker 1: what to say to each other. She runs off to
Speaker 1: her Save the Beach dance, which I guess is already
Speaker 1: in progress. Spencer has apparently moved on from Mac and
Speaker 1: asks Alyssa to dance to a Sabrina Carpenter song. Okay,
Speaker 1: I have heard a Saberena Carpenter's song. That was a
Speaker 1: simple fix. I guess he sure got over Mac pretty quickly. Okay,
Speaker 1: Max smiles about ditching that clinger, but Brady is nearby
Speaker 1: bumming alone. Devin suggests you go talk to his now
Speaker 1: ex beach bunny, but just as he does, the sound
Speaker 1: of surf rock fills the gym and in walks the
Speaker 1: Wet Side Story crew again with Tanner on a segway.
Speaker 1: Leean announces they've returned to help Brady and Mack. Tanner
Speaker 1: is finally thinking for himself and exudes confidence, which he
Speaker 1: spells ko n fidense. He reminds Brady he's an amazing
Speaker 1: guy and he can do anything he puts his mind to,
Speaker 1: and just like that, Brady runs on stage and asks
Speaker 1: the band for a kick snare. Then magically he teaches
Speaker 1: the band our next song, gotta be Me Confident anthem
Speaker 1: about how Brady is ready to step up for mac
Speaker 1: Mack joins in too, and it looks like they're rekindling
Speaker 1: the romance through dance. What did you think of this one?
Speaker 2: This? This is his big This is like to me,
Speaker 2: it showcased how talented this guy is.
Speaker 1: Did you it's okay? This is the one where I
Speaker 1: didn't like the song really. I liked the dancing. I
Speaker 1: didn't like this too.
Speaker 2: I think I was into the Dan scene to notice
Speaker 2: the song.
Speaker 1: I think, Yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 2: I thought Ross looked awesome in this, like.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean he can clearly get just.
Speaker 2: Wow, you know, like he's just he just is such
Speaker 2: a great performer that I think I kind of got
Speaker 2: swept in that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was he didn't like the songs.
Speaker 1: I didn't like the song. I liked the dancing. I
Speaker 1: did not like the song. I just it was not
Speaker 1: what This one wasn't catchy to me at all. It
Speaker 1: was just kind of yeah.
Speaker 2: I feel like that's what's kind of interesting about the movie,
Speaker 2: is like it wasn't like all the music was bad.
Speaker 2: It was just like all of it also wasn't like
Speaker 2: to the level of like what we're now getting, what
Speaker 2: our what our standard is now.
Speaker 1: Anyway, this song ends with Mac and Brady embracing and Butchie,
Speaker 1: who's holding a very important necklace, announces they got to
Speaker 1: get back in the ocean, but then he vanishes with
Speaker 1: the necklace. Lee that realizes that the first time they
Speaker 1: time traveled, Brady and Mac didn't even have the necklace,
Speaker 1: so that means the necklace can't be the only catalyst.
Speaker 1: How do they get back then? And so in a
Speaker 1: throwback to teen beach movie, Mack and Brady get Tanner
Speaker 1: and Layla out to the ocean with boards, but there's
Speaker 1: no waves, and just as all their friends vanish away,
Speaker 1: even Chee Chee, Tanner and Leela know they have to
Speaker 1: do something. Then Brady has an idea. He rushes off
Speaker 1: with Mac to his workshop, which means Mack has now
Speaker 1: seen all the secret work he's been doing. He admits
Speaker 1: he was ashamed to show her because she has a
Speaker 1: vision for her future and he is just a beach bump,
Speaker 1: but she says his projects look incredible and she respects
Speaker 1: his vision. But then he reveals the now finished hydro
Speaker 1: lithium surfboard with a motor. It doesn't need waves to work.
Speaker 1: This could be what Tanner and Leela need. And I
Speaker 1: think they have another song right around here, and we'll
Speaker 1: get to that. Mack apologizes for everything, and they promise
Speaker 1: each other no more secrets. They also notice that they're
Speaker 1: in the exact same spot that they met. Somehow, this
Speaker 1: makes them realize if their friends don't end up back
Speaker 1: in the movie, then it will also mean they never met.
Speaker 1: And that's when I want to surprise.
Speaker 4: What right?
Speaker 1: What does that mean? Did you follow any of that logic?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean I understood what they were saying. I
Speaker 2: didn't understand how that made sense.
Speaker 1: Okay, So not only do I not get while it
Speaker 1: made that didn't make sense, But okay, they're putting that
Speaker 1: out there. It doesn't make any sense, but they're putting
Speaker 1: it out there. If they don't get back to them,
Speaker 1: it's another level of danger. If they don't get back
Speaker 1: to the movie, it's like we've never met. Yeah, remember that,
Speaker 1: people just remember that because it's gonna come back. Brady says,
Speaker 1: no matter what, he'll never forget her, and then he
Speaker 1: sings something that turns into a duet called Meant to Be,
Speaker 1: And it's all about their relationship is meant to be?
Speaker 1: And I thought, hey, all these people are disappearing and
Speaker 1: essentially dying. Maybe now's not the time to sing. Uh,
Speaker 1: just maybe not to give it some time, get them
Speaker 1: back in the water, get them back to the sixties,
Speaker 1: DN sing your song. During their final goodbyes, Max suggests
Speaker 1: Leela's start a math club and starts thinking for herself.
Speaker 1: She encourages her to change the movie, which feels like
Speaker 1: it already happened because she was doing that. But who knows.
Speaker 1: And now in the ocean, Brady tries again. Dark Ocean,
Speaker 1: Brady tries to start the board's engine, but it's sputtering.
Speaker 1: He's forced to swim underneath it and see what's going on,
Speaker 1: but the hatch one open. Time is running out. He
Speaker 1: tries and tries again, but the damn hatch is stuck,
Speaker 1: and just as Tanner starts to fade away, Brady finally
Speaker 1: pries the hatch open again. You would have had an
Speaker 1: extra five minutes if you didn't sing your song, But
Speaker 1: without any tools he can't fix it, so he borrows
Speaker 1: Leela's hairclip and finally gets it working, catapulting Tanner and
Speaker 1: Layla out to see did it work? Did they vanish
Speaker 1: from existence forever or go back into the movie? We
Speaker 1: just don't know. So Brady walks back to the beach
Speaker 1: where macus standing, but instead of celebrating, he runs right
Speaker 1: past her. Neither of them bad and I they don't
Speaker 1: know each other. So it must mean they didn't make
Speaker 1: it back to the movie, right, because those are the
Speaker 1: rules they just set up thirty seconds ago. They just
Speaker 1: did it. I know because I was watching the movie.
Speaker 1: I was watching. That's how I know. Brady meets up
Speaker 1: with Devin for their very odd special handshake, It notices
Speaker 1: to save the beach dance and movie screen in the distance.
Speaker 1: The two bros decide to crash it on the way in.
Speaker 1: By the way, it's an open dance. You don't have
Speaker 1: to crash it. He notices Mac on the beach, but
Speaker 1: again no memory of this girl. Mack re enters her
Speaker 1: dance eventually and sits at the front desk with Spencer
Speaker 1: and Alissa, and they now appear to be an official couple.
Speaker 4: Great.
Speaker 1: When Devin and Tanner arrived by tickets, Tanner asks Mac
Speaker 1: again a girl. He doesn't know at all what movie
Speaker 1: they'll be projecting tonight. She reveals it's a nineteen sixty
Speaker 1: two beach movie party, which is very specific. It's Layla,
Speaker 1: Queen of the Beach, Mack's favorite. But Tanner isn't sold
Speaker 1: that this is the best movie to show. Mac challenges
Speaker 1: him to buy a ticket and if he doesn't agree,
Speaker 1: she'll buy him a smoothie. They have a moment, and
Speaker 1: off goes Brady. So they reversed what happened in the
Speaker 1: first movie. It's very clever. Okay, but what Mac thens
Speaker 1: announces the start of the movie, which is just its
Speaker 1: wet side story. But Layla is now a badass independent
Speaker 1: She's the main character. Tanner's just her boyfriend. History has
Speaker 1: been rewritten. But doesn't that mean they made it back
Speaker 1: to the movie in time? And so wouldn't that mean
Speaker 1: that Brady and Mack would still be dating? What's what? What?
Speaker 8: What?
Speaker 6: Why?
Speaker 2: I know It's like.
Speaker 1: They didn't they established that.
Speaker 2: They established they did not.
Speaker 4: Now it's it's it flips?
Speaker 5: Is it?
Speaker 1: Are they gonna try to say it's because they changed
Speaker 1: the movie? Okay? So now way, Oh this is from
Speaker 1: producer Lisa because they changed the movie and because it's
Speaker 1: now a woman movie. Brady of course would not have
Speaker 1: seen it. Why wouldn't you have seen it? Oh that's okay,
Speaker 1: that's Lisa's take. So but they they still made it
Speaker 1: back to the sixties, they still made their sixties beach movie.
Speaker 2: But in reality, they also I guess to be fair,
Speaker 2: they didn't really know. They just were. That was just
Speaker 2: a question like does that mean that we won't know
Speaker 2: each other? Does that bring it up?
Speaker 5: Then?
Speaker 1: You know, like, why even bring it up. It's just
Speaker 1: like it should If you're not going to explain it,
Speaker 1: don't do it right, Because they're like, if they don't
Speaker 1: make it back to the movie, we'll never know each other.
Speaker 1: And then they make it back to movie and they
Speaker 1: never know each other. Yeah, yeah, it's just it was
Speaker 1: the end got confusing. The end they had me, and
Speaker 1: then I was like, what is the end got confusing
Speaker 1: to me?
Speaker 2: I didn't know she's saying that, Lisa's saying, this is
Speaker 2: why this movie isn't liked as much as the first
Speaker 2: one because of this ending. It was a controversial situation
Speaker 2: among the fans.
Speaker 1: It should be it was confusing what was going on? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I again. I like the idea that the relationship
Speaker 1: is starting over, and now they don't know each other
Speaker 1: and they've reversed it, and that's great, but you've got
Speaker 1: to give us a reason why that happened, and they
Speaker 1: tried to explain it, and their explanation doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1: So I don't mind them rebooting the relationship, but you
Speaker 1: gotta make it matter, make it makes sense, and they
Speaker 1: didn't anyway. Leela sings the final song, That's how We Do,
Speaker 1: all about women empowerment, and is eventually joined by Mac
Speaker 1: and everyone at the party. It's a big finale here
Speaker 1: with a lot of dancing. Did you like the song?
Speaker 1: Did you like the dancing?
Speaker 9: Yes?
Speaker 4: I did?
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too. Brady eventually joins in too, singing along
Speaker 1: with Tanner on the screen. We've got both couples now
Speaker 1: overcoming their own obstacles. But again, the conceit of the
Speaker 1: movie now makes no sense. To remind you, if Leela
Speaker 1: and Tanner make it back to the movie on time,
Speaker 1: then Mack and Brady should have had no problem remembering
Speaker 1: each other. But everyone ends up tap dancing on cars,
Speaker 1: so who cares. We're having fun. The song ends with
Speaker 1: Mac holding Brady, so reversing it, restarting their relationship against
Speaker 1: the backdrop of the screen. For a few seconds, it
Speaker 1: appears they remember each other, but it's probably just deja vu.
Speaker 1: The strangers then embrace passionately, despite the fact that they
Speaker 1: just met and this whole thing is insane, they stood
Speaker 1: have still known each other. I don't get it anyway.
Speaker 1: The credits roll up, Vie for If there's two camps,
Speaker 1: there's the camp that likes the ending and totally understands
Speaker 1: it and doesn't like the ending and doesn't get it.
Speaker 1: I'm firmly in that doesn't like the ending and don't
Speaker 1: get it. I like where they were going, but they
Speaker 1: didn't explain it, so I don't get it. What camp
Speaker 1: are you in, Sabrina.
Speaker 4: Of liking it or not liking it?
Speaker 1: Liking the ending?
Speaker 2: Yeah, mmmm, it kind of it was. It was kind
Speaker 2: of a letdown for me, Like, you know what, Like
Speaker 2: I've we've watched this one hundred and forty five minute
Speaker 2: it's six hours now. It doesn't even make like so
Speaker 2: it definitely kind of left me on like on a
Speaker 2: slump instead of it being really excited. However, I do
Speaker 2: love when there's extra stuff happening like during the credits.
Speaker 2: So I did like the little thing that starts happening
Speaker 2: while they're rolling the credits, what happens?
Speaker 1: Watch it.
Speaker 2: It was just like a cute little like thing they did.
Speaker 2: I liked it.
Speaker 1: Oh it was extra dancing scenes and takes and stuff
Speaker 1: like that. Okay, yeah I did see that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, okay, that's yeah.
Speaker 2: But yeah it did kind of end on like a
Speaker 2: little bit of a slump, like what yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: So I can understand. I love that Lisa knows that
Speaker 2: that was like kind of controversial of like that. I
Speaker 2: can understand the fans.
Speaker 1: Being like, you know, we had fans on our ig
Speaker 1: already going, oh, I can't wait to hear what they
Speaker 1: think about the ending, so.
Speaker 5: I know, really take on why it is this way.
Speaker 5: I don't stop into these Okay. So the thing is,
Speaker 5: like I feel like when you were asking earlier about
Speaker 5: why we were going back and seeing the movie change,
Speaker 5: like if he's seeing that on on the screen as well,
Speaker 5: technically he wasn't really watching.
Speaker 2: It was just in the background.
Speaker 5: My thing is that you're watching the movie being made
Speaker 5: like you're watching like you're being zapped into the actual
Speaker 5: like you're on set, so then they're kind of just
Speaker 5: stopping as if they were making the movie at that time,
Speaker 5: so like she's stopping it and then so he wouldn't
Speaker 5: be seeing that because she would go back and they
Speaker 5: would do the take, and that's what he would.
Speaker 1: That's my take, so much more confusing.
Speaker 2: It is so confusing.
Speaker 5: But then by the end, because they go back in time,
Speaker 5: they're going back to the sixties when the movie was made,
Speaker 5: and she's already had these stops, so they're making a
Speaker 5: completely different movie, which is why he doesn't remember it
Speaker 5: because in my brain, because of the time, like he
Speaker 5: wouldn't be probably shown the movie Leila on the Beach
Speaker 5: as much as a Wet Side Story as a kid
Speaker 5: growing up, so like it's more likely she would have
Speaker 5: seen that than he would. Don't have that shared love
Speaker 5: of the same.
Speaker 1: Movie, because that means that they have they never met.
Speaker 5: Right, because they that's how they met was their shared
Speaker 5: love of the same movie. So now they don't have
Speaker 5: that because.
Speaker 1: No, she had never seen Wet Side Story in the
Speaker 1: first one. That was the whole point. I thought that,
Speaker 1: No didn't she isn't that The whole point is he
Speaker 1: introduces her to wet side story. And that's why they
Speaker 1: have the first date on the beach is because she's like,
Speaker 1: you've never.
Speaker 2: Seen this He's like, you've never seen this movie. Gosh,
Speaker 2: maybe you're right because I haven't.
Speaker 1: But maybe that's the play on it?
Speaker 8: Then?
Speaker 5: Is that because now the roles are switched, she's the
Speaker 5: one who's seen the movie and he has not.
Speaker 4: So it's a freak that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I get that they're doing that, so
Speaker 1: they still.
Speaker 5: Wouldn't have technically met on the beach. Yeah, it's so
Speaker 5: much thinking for kids.
Speaker 2: Sorry, yes, it is the kids.
Speaker 5: It is.
Speaker 1: It is confusing for kids. I was only half a
Speaker 1: bourbon in and I didn't understand what the hell was happening.
Speaker 5: You need.
Speaker 4: You needed six more to be able to.
Speaker 1: It's still confusing, but I don't anyway, And much like
Speaker 1: the end of the film, that's the end of our recap,
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna end it on a confusing note
Speaker 1: and let's go right into real reviews. Uh, Sabrina, I
Speaker 1: think you've got the five star this week?
Speaker 4: What do you got five star this week? It's from
Speaker 4: Samantha h C.

Speaker 2: watching the movie.
Speaker 5: Stars.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, love it. I have the one star.
Speaker 2: That's as confusing as the end, as the confusing as
Speaker 2: the end of the movie.
Speaker 1: My mind is not confusing at all. It's very clear.
Speaker 1: This is the one star from Nathan's Nathaniel C not
Speaker 1: to be confused with Nathaniel A.
Speaker 5: B or D.
Speaker 1: For the sake of my sanity and well being, this
Speaker 1: movie does not exist in the TBCU or the Teen
Speaker 1: Beach Cinematic Universe. The movie does absolutely nothing but help
Speaker 1: you realize, damn, maybe there is nothing worth living for
Speaker 1: if you're on the brink of a breakdown. Literally watch
Speaker 1: anything else. Wow, there's a lot to unpack there. First
Speaker 1: of all, I love that it's already the TBCU, it's
Speaker 1: the Teen Beach Cinematic Universe, as if it's a Marvel thing.
Speaker 4: But that is one star from the mean Okay, Nathaniel, Yeah.

Speaker 1: do it, Come on, Sabrina.
Speaker 4: All right, So we we talked.
Speaker 2: About a lot of them, as always, but they're in
Speaker 2: the turn your frown upside down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your favorite song, your favorite song and dance.
Speaker 2: One of the most horrendous things that has happened on
Speaker 2: the channel, in my opinion, happened.
Speaker 1: What, oh my god, what I'm dying to know.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna show you. So it's kind of hard
Speaker 2: for our listeners, but okay, okay, I'll try to explain it. Then.
Speaker 2: Remember when the it's like an aerial shot and they
Speaker 2: turn the frown like they're in like like it looks
Speaker 2: like a happy fair of frown face crowns up and
Speaker 2: up and down.
Speaker 4: No, it's not that it doesn't get airt I'm just
Speaker 4: gonna show you this picture. Can you see it?
Speaker 2: Yes, And then I'm gonna show you what I zoomed
Speaker 2: in because I just could not believe someone did this
Speaker 2: to this poor girl.
Speaker 1: Like that, wait, what is it?
Speaker 2: It's her, She's so they did the the like you know,
Speaker 2: somehow they somehow were in that frown position and then
Speaker 2: they all flipped over and she had to like handstand
Speaker 2: her way over and they have her in like that
Speaker 2: is awful, poor thing. I want to personally apologize that
Speaker 2: Disney did this to you, because that would have killed me,
Speaker 2: just that just in general, Like it could have just
Speaker 2: been all dudes in shorts and it wouldn't have been
Speaker 2: a thing.
Speaker 4: But like, you've got her in a cheer skirt.
Speaker 2: The skirt is flipped up out like.
Speaker 3: Cool.
Speaker 4: I felt so bad. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 2: And then, of course, you know, I'm watching on Disney
Speaker 2: Plus and you can't screenshot on that. I had to
Speaker 2: find it on YouTube just so I could show you.
Speaker 2: That was horrifying to me. I felt so bad for her,
Speaker 2: and I just feel terrible. The next thing was I
Speaker 2: don't know why this was really important for me to
Speaker 2: tell you was how much I disliked the hoodie that
Speaker 2: she's wearing at the end, Like she just looks weird
Speaker 2: in it, Like it just wasn't like a nice like
Speaker 2: she just looked kind of strange, and it was like,
Speaker 2: we haven't seen you wear a hood a hood yet?
Speaker 4: Why now? Movie? Why now?
Speaker 2: And then last I actually had some help from my
Speaker 2: manager Melissa that the guy that plays Devin his best friend. Yeah,
Speaker 2: his best friend who plays Devin. He is the son
Speaker 2: of the producer Ray Cham. He was Ray Cham junior,
Speaker 2: and he was around during like all of the recordings
Speaker 2: of like our first movie. Ray did pretty much all
Speaker 2: of the Cheetah Girls songs in the first movie, and
Speaker 2: he was so little. Once mel told me that, I'm
Speaker 2: like Ray's little son was so tiny during that and
Speaker 2: now he's onto being a can dance too, and he
Speaker 2: can dance his butt off wait no, yes, yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 2: And he was just so cute. So it was like
Speaker 2: such a good like Easter egg for me to like
Speaker 2: I went back and like kind of rewatched all his
Speaker 2: scenes and like the so proud of him, like that's cool,
Speaker 2: exciting you know, he was so little and he was
Speaker 2: so animated and so cute, and I remember Ray telling me, yeah,
Speaker 2: he really wants to get into acting, but I'm like
Speaker 2: not sure if I'm gonna go that route.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, you have so many great connections, like
Speaker 4: are you kidding?
Speaker 2: And so anyway for him to now, you know, be
Speaker 2: older and doing what he loves and what I saw
Speaker 2: him as a little adorable kid, I'm just really proud
Speaker 2: of him.
Speaker 1: So that's great.
Speaker 2: That's my main Sbarna sees because I'm real proud of that.
Speaker 4: We all called him Junior, so he used We used
Speaker 4: to call him Junior.
Speaker 1: So that's cool.
Speaker 2: It was cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, very nice shout out to Junior. All right, well
Speaker 1: it's time to rate our film. We're gonna go one
Speaker 1: out of ten, one worst, ten best. That's what we're doing.
Speaker 1: Here are options this week? Is it? One out of ten?
Speaker 1: One man stoke machines one out of ten. Underwhelming bracelets,
Speaker 1: acoustic acoustic guitar types, girls shaking their butt one out
Speaker 1: of ten, very odd special handshakes, pod guitar players, Guys
Speaker 1: who paint themselves silver for tips who I called by
Speaker 1: the way one out of ten. Goth high school girls,
Speaker 1: kick snares or one out of ten nineteen sixty two
Speaker 1: beach movie parties do you pick?
Speaker 2: I these are all good. Nothing's really jumping out at me.
Speaker 2: Is anything jumping out at you?
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of underwhelming bracelets. Okay, we'll do that,
Speaker 1: all right. So I think I go first this time,
Speaker 1: don't I H.
Speaker 4: No, I know you, Yeah, you went last time first.
Speaker 2: Um.
Speaker 4: So I really liked this movie.
Speaker 2: Like I said, it's hard when so many of the
Speaker 2: songs and so many of the performances were so hot,
Speaker 2: Like the hot quality was so great, great.
Speaker 4: Dancing in this movie. The actors are phenomenal.
Speaker 2: They're just so good and they really got a chance
Speaker 2: to showcase a lot of their talent.
Speaker 4: But there were some funky stuff that.
Speaker 2: Needed to be rewrote a little. Yeah here, you know,
Speaker 2: the ending on in that like weird note of wait
Speaker 2: what like what what?
Speaker 5: That?
Speaker 2: That was hard for me. So it dipped it at
Speaker 2: the very end.
Speaker 1: But I liked it.
Speaker 2: I thought this choreography, just like I love the Zombies
Speaker 2: choreography and the Descendants, like it just leaned in perfectly
Speaker 2: to where it was magical, but like not over the top.
Speaker 2: So I loved it. I'm gonna give it an eight
Speaker 2: point five.
Speaker 1: Wow, okay, even with the ending the impressive.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I did, I liked it, and I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't reamer.
Speaker 2: I definitely will have to say though. I'm hoping that
Speaker 2: is that scoring is under what the first one was
Speaker 2: because I definitely did like the first one better. Okay,
Speaker 2: it doesn't have as many like question marks as the
Speaker 2: second one did, so I hope that that rating keeps
Speaker 2: me in.
Speaker 1: Line, keeps you in line, because we don't remember what
Speaker 1: it is. I feel the same, Yeah, I feel the
Speaker 1: same that I liked this movie until the end. Some
Speaker 1: of the songs weren't great. All the dancing was good.
Speaker 1: It did not take itself too seriously. The guy playing
Speaker 1: ten Or was hysterical. There were several laugh out loud,
Speaker 1: like actual laugh out loud moments. I'm going to give
Speaker 1: this a seven point five because the ending was lame
Speaker 1: and I think that's under my last team. But it
Speaker 1: just it was like you just went at the end. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I get why people don't like it. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: I want this to be one. Here's what I'm going
Speaker 1: to give it. I'm going to give it one less
Speaker 1: than whatever.
Speaker 2: I gave Teen Beach, right, and I don't know if
Speaker 2: I did Teen Beach at like a nine point five,
Speaker 2: I think I probably was not there.
Speaker 1: We're up there with nines. So yeah, I give this
Speaker 1: an eighth. Then, yeah, it's one less because it's it's
Speaker 1: I like the world, and I like the actors, and
Speaker 1: I like the whole the whole idea about it. But this,
Speaker 1: the ending really did kind of well, it's just a
Speaker 1: lot of best. Yeah, it's just it's it's not great.
Speaker 1: It got very confusing. But yeah, anyway, that's that's our
Speaker 1: We've just finished our because there's not a third one,
Speaker 1: so we just finished our TBCU. That's the end of
Speaker 1: the Teen Beach Cinematic Universe. We've wrapped up an entire
Speaker 1: we have We've wrapped up an entire universe. So there
Speaker 1: we go.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's crazy lot of them.
Speaker 1: Now we're getting done with zombies. Yeah, well so far,
Speaker 1: but zombies is gonna be more. There's not gonna be
Speaker 1: more Teen Beaches. There's just good. That's this is it.
Speaker 1: And I think we're done with Camp Rocks now, so
Speaker 1: that's it. Where we're we're checking them off the list. Yes, uh,
Speaker 1: you know for our next movie, though it is another
Speaker 1: musical sequel set in the summertime, we're staying in theme
Speaker 1: with well Camp Rock two, So either you've heard it
Speaker 1: or you haven't heard it. Uh, But Camp Rock to
Speaker 1: the final jam, which again I thought was about the
Speaker 1: last time people eat jelly. That's not the case. So yeah,
Speaker 1: so you're gonna have to let us know what you
Speaker 1: think there. But we finally tie off all the loose
Speaker 1: ends that Camp Rock one left us. I'm kidding. I
Speaker 1: have no memory whatsoever of how it ended, and there
Speaker 1: were no loose ends. But first let's stay on the
Speaker 1: beach for our park Opper episode. We are chatting with
Speaker 1: Chrissy fit also known as a lovable chee Chi from
Speaker 1: both teen Beach one and two, and yes, I definitely
Speaker 1: want to talk to her about that, but she's also
Speaker 1: in the Pitch Perfect movies and I can't wait to
Speaker 1: talk to her about that. So she talked all about
Speaker 1: her time in Puerto Rico filming these movies. She was wonderful.
Speaker 3: You don't believe me.
Speaker 1: Listen to a small snippet of the upcoming episode.
Speaker 8: Even us like making it and reading it. I think
Speaker 8: like some of us were like, wait, is this gonna
Speaker 8: gel with like our demographic, Like we're trying to do inception.
Speaker 2: Suddenly and right, yeah, dream within a dream.
Speaker 8: I'm like, I don't know if kids are gonna love this,
Speaker 8: But then it was kind of exciting too because we
Speaker 8: were like, we're just giving them a little something extra,
Speaker 8: something like different. It doesn't have to end super happy, no,
Speaker 8: but that we were wrong.
Speaker 4: It should end on.
